       The Member States and the Community as such have signed and apply .
the 1976 International Coffee Agreement , which entered into effect ,
provisibnal ly, on 1 October 1976 and , definitively on 1 August 1977 .
                                                          . -            {

       The Agreement provides for the introduction of export quotas at
such time as world market prices drop below a pre-determined level .
       Export quotas have not yet been established since the Agreement ,
entered into effect , but the fall in coffee prices on the world market v ould
lead to an early introduction of such measures .
       The Executive Board of the International Coffee Organisation adopted
a system of certificates of origin , on 31 July 1978, to be applied wh^n
quotas are in effect . This system embodies a prohibition for exporting
member countries to export coffee without the aforesaid certificates , and
                                    .                   .                              *
a similar prohibition for importing member countries to import coffee without
                                                                       i           * .
such certificates as well as the limitation of imports from non-membef
countries .
        As the system of certificates will work in close relation to th *
 Community transit procedure , it is proposed that the Commission should
 adopt detailed rules in accordance with the procedure laid down . in Article 57
 of Regulation ( EEC ) N° 222 / 77 on Community transit ( regulatory committee ).
 It is also proposed that the Commission should fix the dates upon whith the
 relevant provisions must become effective or cease to be effective , in
 relation to the introduction or suspension of quotas by the Executive
 Board of the International Coffee Organisation .
                                              /                                  '
        The latter measure would result in defining , in the interests of the
 trade and Administrations alike , the periods during which the provisions
 adopted should be applicable ; these periods should be the same                those
 during which quotas are in effect as decided by the Executive Board of the
  International Coffee Organisation .                                •       '*

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES /

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas by virtue of         Council Decision 76/ 845 / EEC ( 2 ), the
Community has been applying provisionally the International Coffee Agreement
1976 since the date upon i which that Agreement entered into force , which was
provisionally 1 October 1976 and definitively 1 August 1977 ;
whereas the Executive Board of the International Coffee Organisation has
established rules for the application of a system of certificates of origin under
the aforesaid Agreement when quotas are in effect ;
Whereas Article 45 of the International Coffee Agreement 1976 provides that
each member    of the aforesaid Agreement should Limit its annual imports
of coffee from non-member countries when quotas are in effect in order to
prevent non-member countries from increasing their exports at the expense
of exporting members ;
Whereas            appropriate measures must be taken to implement this
system of certificates within the Community , and provision must be made for
applying the system without discrimination between Community importers ;
