THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in 
particular Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization 
of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No , 
established arrangements for trade with third countries in this sector; 
Whereas the Community has concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the great majority 
of third countries exporting sheepmeat and goatmeat products; 
Whereas, pending the conclusion of voluntary restraint agreements with the other third 
countries traditionally exporting to the Community, Council Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 (2) 
laid down provisions enabling the said countries to export to the Community certain quantities 
of relevant products on terms similar to those agreed for the third countries having already 
concluded voluntary restraint agreements; 
Whereas the German Democratic Republic has just concluded a voluntary restraint agreement 
with the Community and whereas the abovementioned Regulation should therefore be 
amended accordingly,
