of Community origin subject to quota restrictions with effect from 1
January 1980; whereasthisagreement wasapproved by Council Deci-sion 80/272/EEC (
2);
Whereasthe United Statesof America hascommitted its elf to take all
necessary measures so that the management of the quota by the admin-
istration will be such as to permit its maximum utilization; whereas in
