SHOULD ADOPT COMMON RULES FOR THOSE PRODUCTS , AS ENVISAGED BY ARTICLE 10 OF THE REGULATION .
28 ACCORDING TO THESE PARTIES THAT ARGUMENT IS SUPPORTED BY AN ANALYSIS OF COUNCIL REGULATION NO 1934/82 , REFERRED TO ABOVE , WHICH WAS INTENDED , ACCORDING TO ITS PREAMBLE , TO ' CLARIFY ' THE SCOPE OF ARTICLES 1 AND 10 OF REGULATION NO 2603/69 . ARTICLE 1 OF REGULATION NO 1934/82 PROVIDES THAT THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM OF EXPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT APPLY , FOR ALL THE MEMBER STATES , TO A SINGLE PRODUCT , CRUDE OIL , ' IN VIEW IN PARTICULAR OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENTS ENTERED INTO BY CERTAIN MEMBER STATES . ' UNDER THAT REGULATION , THEREFORE , ALL THE MEMBER STATES , WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE RESTRICTED EXPORTS OF OIL IN THE PAST , ARE FREE TO DO SO AND WERE ALREADY FREE TO TO DO SO UNDER REGULATION NO 2603/69 .

'
31 IT MUST THEREFORE BE CONCLUDED , AS THE COURT HELD IN ITS JUDGMENT OF 15 DECEMBER 1976 ( CASE 41/76 , DONCKERWOLKE V PROCUREUR DE LA REPUBLIQUE , ( 1976 ) ECR 1921 ), THAT SINCE FULL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MATTER OF COMMERCIAL POLICY WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE COMMUNITY BY ARTICLE 113 ( 1 ) MEASURES OF COMMERCIAL POLICY OF A NATIONAL CHARACTER ARE ONLY PERMISSIBLE AFTER THE END OF THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD BY VIRTUE OF SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION BY THE COMMUNITY .
32 ARTICLE 1 OF REGULATION NO 2603/69 LAYS DOWN THE GENERAL RULE THAT EXPORTS FROM THE COMMUNITY TO NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES ARE FREE , THAT IS TO SAY , NOT SUBJECT TO QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS , WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE APPLIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THAT REGULATION .
