      The arrangements provided for in the Tunis and Rabat Agreements for
 imports into the Community of fishery products originating in Tunisia
 and Morocco ceased to apply on the establishment of the common organization
 of market . They were replaced by arrangements covering fishery products
                                                               /
other than trout , carp , preserved sardines and tunny .
      For these last products a transitory regime had been established
by Regulations (EEC ) N° 227/72 and N° 228/72 , repealed and replaced by
Regulations (EEC ) N° 346/75 and 347/75 respectively. These latter also
took account of the introduction , from 24th June 1974 » of a Community
regime - of imports of carps and trouts . The fact that these products
have been brought under the common organization of the market does not
however mean that a change in the arrangements applicable to imports of
those products from Morocco and Tunisia is required, particularly as
negotiations are currently in progress with Morocco and Tunisia on the
arrangements to be established for these products .
      It must be noted that even in the event of the negotiations being
concluded before the end of 1975 'the       necessary for the entry
into force of the various provisions would effectively prevent their
application by 1st January 1976. Since Regulations (EEC ) N° 346/75 ancL
N° 347/75 have extended the period of validity of the transitional regime
up to 31 December 1975 » a- further extension should be provided for , as
to avoid any disruption in trade , until the entry into force of the new
Agreements , but not in any event beyond 31 December 1976.. .
