At its 19th session, held on 30 June in Ankara, the EEC-Turkey
Association Council approved the substantive provisions of Decision
1/73 concerning further concessions in respect of imports of Turkish
agricultural products into the Community .  It was also agreed that
the Decision would he formally adopted "by written procedure on the
entry into force of the Interim Agreement , probably on 1 October .
The draft Regulation annexed hereto sets out provisions for the
implementation of the Association Council Decision.   It must take
effect from the same date as Decision Mo 1/73 and the Interim Agreement.
Since the Regulation bases itself on Article 43 of the Treaty establishing
the European Economic Community , the European Parliament must be
consulted.  It is expected that the Parliament will be able to give its
opinion at the session to be held on 19 and 20 September .
Financial effects

on the basis of past levels of trade , result in an annual loss of
customs duties amounting to some 400 000 units of account .
