bytheexporting country .These arrangements canberevised orrepealed
before their expiry date intheevent ofachange intheimport conditions .

these arrangements were theonly way ofmaintaining producer prices ,
and itwas essential that they should continue toapply .

theinformation available ontL-iprice differentials atall stages of
•.arketing isinsufficient toalllow afull assessment tobemade ofthe
extent towhich thelevel ofthereduction inimport charges isjustified .

resulting from thetrend oftheaarket inbeef andveal ,and since these
conditions arenotexpected tochange inthecoming rr itisproposed
toextend theprovisions ofRegulation (E2C)NO ~775intheir entirety
forafurther period ofsixmonths ,itbeing «.„.,^jtood that these
exceptional measures canberevised orrepealed dorin *that period should
