EXPLAMTORY MEMORANDUM !
Thearrangements provided forintheTunis andRabat Agreements for
imports into theCommunity offishery products originating inTunisia
andMorocco ceased toapply ontheestablishment ofthecommon organization
ofmarket .They were replaced byarrangements covering fishery products
/
other than trout ,carp ,preserved sardines andtunny .
Forthese last products atransitory regime hadbeen established
byRegulations (EEC)N°227/72andN°228/72,repealed andreplaced by
Regulations (EEC)N°346/75and347/75respectively .These latter also
took account oftheintroduction ,from 24th June 1974 »ofaCommunity
regime -ofimports ofcarps andtrouts .Thefact that these products
have been brought under the common organization ofthe market does not
however mean that achange inthearrangements applicable toimports of
those products from Morocco andTunisia isrequired ,particularly as
negotiations arecurrently inprogress with Morocco andTunisia onthe
arrangements tobeestablished forthese products .
Itmust benoted that even intheevent ofthenegotiations being
concluded before theendof1975 'the necessary fortheentry
into force ofthevarious provisions would effectively prevent their
application by1stJanuary 1976 .Since Regulations (EEC)N°346/75ancL
N°347/75have extended theperiod ofvalidity ofthetransitional regime
upto31December 1975 »a-further extension should beprovided for ,as
toavoid anydisruption intrade ,until theentry into force ofthenew
Agreements ,butnotinanyevent beyond 31December 1976 .. .
