*****COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3653/85  of 23 December 1985  laying down detailed rules for implementing the import system applicable to certain third countries for sheepmeat and goatmeat as from 1986  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 of 19 December 1985 concerning the import system applicable to certain third countries in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector as from 1986 (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,  Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 laid down that the levy applicable on imports of products falling within subheadings 01.04 B and 02.01 A IV of the Common Customs Tariff from third countries, other than those which have concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the Community, is to be limited to 10 % ad valorem within certain maximum quantities; whereas it is appropriate to set for each quarter the quantities which may be imported during a period corresponding to the period of validity of the import licences;  Whereas the same system continues to apply until 28 February 1986 as regards Spain;  Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 laid down that imports into the Member States should be allowed, taking account of the traditional pattern of trade; whereas it is therefore appropriate to set the maximum quantity for which import licences may be issued in certain Member States;  Whereas the said imports should be restricted to the quantities provided for; whereas it is accordingly necessary to derogate from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1994/84 (3), in respect of the quantities which may be imported in excess of those indicated on licences;  Whereas the Member States should be required to provide information with regard to the said imports;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  1.
