        The situation existing in Yugoslavia    has lead the Council, on

framework of political cooperation, to apply selective positive
measures in favour of those parties which contribrutes to progress
towards peace, it is appropriate to reestablish for these parties the
benefit of generalized preferences for agricultural products, not
covered by the autonomous regime, which has replaced the suspended
provisions of the cooperation agreement.                                 !|
