EXPLANATORY M E M O R A N D U M
1. The Joint Committee between the European Economic Community and  
the Socialist Republic of Romania, which was established by the  
Bucharest Agreement of 28 July 1980, held its second meeting in Bucharest  
on 2 and 3 December 1982.
2. Upon completion of the Joint Committee's work the two delegations  
agreed to recommend to their respective authorities a series of commercial  
measures to promote the development of trade between the Community and  
Romania.
The Community delegation's recommendations involve inter alia  
the following measures :
(a) liberalizing imports of certain products in certain member States  
(see draft Regulation in Annex I) ;
(b) increasing for 198jl some of the amounts relatinn to products  
in Annex II to the Protocol to the Agreement (voluntary  
restraints). (See draft Regulation in Annex II.)
The adoption of these measures implies the amendment of the  
Protocol to the industrial Agreement. Moreover, this protocol  
provides that amendments to the Annexes thereto should be noti­
fied by an exchange of letters between the two parties  
(see Art i  c Le 4 (2) ).
3. Consequently, in accordance with the recommendations of the EEC-Romania
Joint Committee, the Commission proposes that the Council adopt the
Regulations proposed in the annexes.
