                                                                                    Brussels,
          Sir,
          Pursuant to Article 2 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European Economic
          Community and the Portuguese Republic signed on 22 July 1972, I hereby inform you
          that Portugal agrees to the extension as a precautionary measure to 31 March 1975 of
          the detailed arrangements contained in the exchange of letters of 20 December 1972
          between Portugal and the Community relating to the conditions in accordance with
          which prepared and preserved sardines falling within subheading 16.04 D of the
          Common Customs Tariff are imported into the Community.
          The Government of Portugal undertakes, moreover, to ensure that the prices charged
          for imports into the Community from 1 February 1975 shall not be less than the
          prices set out in the Annex hereto, and also to prevent any deflection of trade.
          Finally, the Government of Portugal notes the Community's intention to review the
          prices set out in the Annex before 31 March 1975 on the basis of the minimum prices
          which the Community intends to introduce for imports of the same products from
          other third countries with which the Community is at present negotiating new
          agreements as part of the Mediterranean overall approach .
          Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration .
                                                                      For the Government of Portugal

          Sir,
          I hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date worded as follows :
               'Pursuant to Article 2 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European
               Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic signed on 22 July 1972, I hereby
               inform you that Portugal agrees to the extension, as a precautionary measure, to
               31 March 1975 of the detailed arrangements contained in the exchange of letters of
               20 December 1972 between Portugal and the Community relating to the conditions
               in accordance with which prepared and preserved sardines falling within subheading
               16.04 D of the Common Customs Tariff are imported into the Community.
               The Government of Portugal undertakes, moreover, to ensure that the prices
               charged for imports into the Community from 1 February 1975 shall not be less
               than the prices set out in the Annex hereto, and also to prevent any deflection
               of trade.
               Finally, the Government of Portugal notes the Community's intention to review
               the prices set out in the Annex before 31 March 1975 on the basis of the minimum
               prices which the Community intends to introduce for imports of the same products
               from other third countries with which the Community is at present negotiating new
               agreements as part of the Mediterranean overall approach.'
          Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
