COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  77 final 
Brussels,  22 February  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No  812/80  with respect  to imports  into the 
Benelux  countries  of jute yarn  originating  in India 
(submitted  to the  Council  by the  Commission) 
COM(83)  77 final 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
1. By Regulation No  812/80  of 27  March  1980 the Council laid down 
common imports arrangements for certain  jute  products originating in India. 
This  Regulation constituted the implementation  within  the Community of the 
Agreement concluded between the European Economic Community and India on trade 
and commercial cooperation in  jute  products. 
2. The Regulation introduced quantitative restrictions on imports  into  the 
Benelux  countries of  jute  yarn  from  India. These restrictions had been agreed 
pursuant to Article  4 of the Agreement, which was invoked when the negotiations 
had been completed and which makes provision for consultation should  Indian 
exports of  jute  yarn seriously prejudice conditions in the Community market or 
in the market of any of the Community's regions. These restrictions were 
laid down for the period  1980-83  in an Agreed Minute attached to the Agreement. 
This  Agreed Minute also made provision for a review of the situation  with  regard 
to these products at the end of the second year of application of the 
Agreement. 
3. The situation was reviewed by India and the Community in  1982.  The 
outcome was the signing on  15 December  1982  of a new "Agreed Minute", which 
provided inter alia for the ceilings for 1982 and 1983 to be converted to 
indicative levels,  with  the amounts increased. 
In order to adapt the Community internal Regulation referred to under 
point  1 to this new situation, Annex A to this Regulation, which lists the 
amounts of the quantitative limits, should be amended. 
Consequently,  it is proposed  that  the Council adopt the attached 
Regulation.
