              THE C0UNC1L 0F THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITÏES
              Having regard            to    the    Treaty establishing the European Economie
              Commun it y ,
              Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
              Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1707 / 86 ( 1 ) fixed interim maximum
              permitted levels of radioactivity for all                           agricultural products
              originating in third countries and intended                        for human consumption ,
              with which imports of the products must comply                      and in connection with
              which checks are carried out by the Member                          States ; whereas that
              Regulation was extended until 31 October 1987                      by Regulation ( EEC ) N°
              624 / 87 ( 2 );
              Whereas the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity laid down by
              Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1707 / 86 have proved to be effective as common
              arrangements for safeguarding the health of consumers , maintaining
              trade with third countries , ensuring the unified nature of the market
              and preventing deflections of trade following the accident at
              Chernobyl ;
              Whereas the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity were laid down
              as a temporary measure and must be re-examined on the basis of
              scientific information as complete as possible which will enable the
              Council , on a proposal from the Commission , to adopt all appropriate
              provisions for the future ;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the procedure for setting reference Levels of radioactivity ,
for products intended for consumption , which are scientifically based ,
compLy with the principles of international recommendations on
radioprotection and are consistent with basic standards of the
Community has been embarked upon by the Commission and should , given
its progress rate , shortly be concluded ;
Whereas while relevant work being carried out must 1n any event be
speeded up, a further period is still needed for establishing the
essential scientific data as accurately as possible ;
Whereas Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1707 / 66 should therefore be extended once
more for a Limited period ,
