notably , at present , Senegal . Production in these countries in 1976 / 1977.
was around 4.500 tonnes , of which 634 tonnes were exported to the Communi­
ty ; in the medium term ( 1980 / 1981 ) this is expected to rise to about' 1.500
tonnes .
                        Given that , in general- , tomatoes originating in the ACP
States are delivered outside the Community 's production and marketing sea­
son the Community could allow these products to benefic from a 60 % reduc­
tion in customs duties under the CCT during the period 15 November to 30
April without adversely affecting the internal price levels for Community-
