ICOUNCIL DECISION
of 19 July 1982
authorizing the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man authorities to apply a system of
special import licences to sheepmeat and beef and veal
(82/530/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the European
Communities,
Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession,
and in particular Article 1 (2) and the second subpara-
graph of Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community rules concerning trade with third
countries in agricultural products subject to a common or-
ganization of the market apply to the Isle of Man in ac-cordance with Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the Act of
Accession and with Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (
1);
Whereas livestock production is a traditional activity in the
Isle of Man and plays a central part in the Island’s agricul-
ture;
Whereas, prior to the introduction of the common organiz-
ation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the
Community, Isle of Man, as part of its local market organ-
ization, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of
sheepmeat into the Island in order to ensure that the need
to supply the requirements of the trade could be met
whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheep produc-
tion and, indirectly, in cattle production on the Island and
in its own agricultural support system;
Whereas in the context of the trade arrangements with cer-
tain third countries pursuant to the common organization
of the market which apply to the Isle of Man, subject to
the Community provisions which govern the relationship
between the Island and the Community, it is desirable to
permit the Island authorities to apply certain measures in
order to protect its own production and the working of its
own agricultural support system;
Whereas, therefore, the United Kingdom should be per-
mitted to authorize the Isle of Man Government to apply
a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and
beef and veal originating in third countries and in Member
States of the Community, without prejudice to the
measures concerning trade with third countries provided
for by Regulations (EEC) No 805/68 (2) and (EEC)
No 1837/80 (3);
(1) OJ No L 68, 15. 3. 1973, p. 1.

(3) OJ No L 183, 16. 7. 1980, p. 1.

apply for two years, with the possibility of reviewing the
situation at the end of that period,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
