1.       In its Regulation. (EEC) No. IO9/7O of 19 December 19&9 t "the Council
of the European Communities established common rules for imports from state-
trading oountries .
2.       Article 2 of this Regulation provides that the Council may , acting by
a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission , resolve that the .Annex
to this Regulation be extended to include other products , provided that such
action is not liable to create a situation where tAb application of protective
measures within the meaning of Title IV of the said Regulation would be justified*
3.       The Commission has observed that quantitative restrictions have been
abolished in all Member States for a number of products .
         In addition , during discussions held in the Consultation Committee on
State-trading Countries with a view to drawing up the 1976 import arrangements ,
the possibility was examined of abolishing quantitative restrictions which are
maintained in one economic zone of the Community only. These measures would
allow internally the uniformisation of import arrangements in the Member States
for the products in question .
4»       The Commission is therefore of the opinion that the Annex to Regulation
109/' 0 should be extended to include these products , the conditions envisaged
by t- e Regulation being fulfilled . The rules on imports are the same throughout
the > ommunity (no quantitative restrictions ), and there is nothing to suggest
that the market situation might necessitate the introduction of protective
meae res in the near future .
5.       These measures should be adopted a * the same time as the adoption by
the Council of the autonomous import arrangements for 1976 in respect of state-
trad ng countries .
6.       At the same time , these same products should be included in column 2
of t.*e list contained in Annex I of Regulation (EEC ) No. 1.439/74 on common
nil to for imports .
7.       The Commission therefore proposes to the Council that it adopt the two
reg iations , the drafts of which are annexed.
