 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 In order to mitigate the difficulties experienced by the ACP States m
 exporting be*f      veal to the Community , specific import measures were
 adopted in the context of an exceptional . situation on the Community
 market in the second half of 1975 and. measures were extended for the
first tine to cover the first six months of 1976 ( Council Regulation
No 3328/75 )» The arrangements stipulate that , as partial compensation
for the import charges leviable by reason of the current trend of the
world market , there should be a reduction in the charges , other than
customs duties , on imports of certain quantities of beef and veal ,
provided that am export tax of a corresponding amount has been applied
by the exporting country . These arrangements can be revised or repealed
before their expiry date in the event of a change in the import conditions .
The main exporting country ( Botswana) explained during a meeting that
these arrangements were the only way of maintaining producer prices ,
and it was essential that they should continue to apply .
Information has been supplied on this point and on Botswana 's prices
on the world market in relation to those of other suppliers . However ,
the information available on tL-i price differentials at all stages of
•.arketing is insufficient to alllow a full assessment to be made of the
extent to which the level of the reduction in import charges is justified .
Nonetheless , given that these arrangements arose         exceptional conditions
resulting from the trend of the aarket in beef and veal , and since these
conditions are not expected to change in the coming rr          it is proposed
to extend the provisions of Regulation ( E2C ) NO    ~ 7 75 in their entirety
for a further period of six months , it being «. „.,^jtood that these
exceptional measures can be revised or repealed dorin * that period should
the market coiiditions change and give ris » to a modification of the
arrangements at present in force .

  THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES T
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
  in particular Article 43 thereof ,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
 Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ( l ),
 Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3328/75 of 18 December 1975 renewing the
 arrangements for the reduction of import charges on beef and veal products
 originating iri the African , Caribbean and Pacific States ( 2 ) applies only until
 30 June 1976 ;   whereas the conditions which led to the application of these
 exceptional measures still exist and it is therefore necessary to extend the
 arrangements which resu.lt therefrom until such time as there is a change in the
 import conditions ,
