EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
■ (
I
TheMember States andtheCommunity assuch have signed andapply .
the1976 International Coffee Agreement ,which entered into effect ,
provisibnal ly,on1October 1976 and,definitively on1August 1977 .
. - {
f
TheAgreement provides fortheintroduction ofexport quotas at
such time asworld market prices drop below apre-determined level .
Export quotas have not yetbeen established since the Agreement ,
entered into effect ,but the fall incoffee prices ontheworld market vould
lead toanearly introduction ofsuch measures .
TheExecutive Board ofthe International Coffee Organisation adopted
asystem ofcertificates oforigin ,on31July 1978 ,tobeapplied wh^n
quotas are ineffect .This system embodies aprohibition forexporting
member countries toexport coffee without the aforesaid certificates ,and
. . *
asimilar prohibition for importing member countries toimport coffee without
i * .
such certificates aswell asthe limitation ofimports from non-membef
countries .
Asthesystem ofcertificates will work inclose relation toth*
Community transit procedure ,itisproposed that theCommission should
adopt detailed rules inaccordance with theprocedure laid down .inArticle 57
ofRegulation (EEC )N°222/77onCommunity transit (regulatory committee ).
Itisalso proposed that theCommission should fixthedates upon whith the
relevant provisions must become effective orcease tobeeffective ,in
relation tothe introduction orsuspension ofquotas bytheExecutive
Board ofthe International Coffee Organisation .
/ '
The latter measure would result indefining ,inthe interests ofthe
trade andAdministrations alike ,theperiods during which theprovisions
adopted should beapplicable ;these periods should bethe same those
during which quotas are ineffect asdecided bytheExecutive Board ofthe
International Coffee Organisation . • '*
