December 1979 on the granting of assistance for the exportation of
agricultural productswhich may benefit from s pecial import treatment
in a third country (

under the GATT to allow importation into the United Statesof chees e
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
the light of experience it appearsto be appropriate to s trengthen admin-istrative cooperation with the United States of America to ensure thatthe quota of Emmentaler cheese of Community origin is fully utilized;whereas the cheese concerned should therefore be accompanied by acertificate issued by the competent authorities in the Community;

dance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk andMilk Products,
