*****COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3643/85  of 19 December 1985  concerning the import arrangements applicable to certain third countries in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector as from 1986  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 (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1312/85 (4), established arrangements for trade with non-member countries in this sector; whereas the arrangements include the collection of an import levy;  Whereas the Community has concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the great majority of the third countries exporting sheepmeat and goatmeat products;  Whereas, pending the conclusion of agreements with other third countries which traditionally export to the Community, it would seem appropriate to restrict the collection of the levy and the issue of import licences in respect of certain products from these countries;  Whereas imports into the Member States should be allowed on the basis of traditional trade flows;  Whereas it seems expedient to recall that this Decision is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (5), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (6),  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  1.

Member States may be authorized to issue import licences for the products referred to in paragraph 1 up to the limit of quantites corresponding to their traditional imports coming from the third countries concerned.  Article 2  For the products and countries specified in Article 1, import licences shall be issued as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 subject to the annual quantitative limits laid down in Article 1.  Article 3  Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80.  Article 4  This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
