traditional suppliers ofbeef and veal tothe Commuriit > ...
production ofbeef and veal isanessential factor intheir economies ,
which arehighly dependent upon these exports ;whereas ,since theStates
concerned arethe least developed among the States which export beef
andveal totheCommunity ,special measures could contribute tomain­
taining aregular flow ofimports ;
Whereas this situation hasbeen taken into account byCouncil Regulation

reduction ofimport charges onbeef and veal products originating in
(2)theAfrican ,Carribean andPacific States ,aslast amended by
