         In view of the trend in 1975 and in the early months of 1976 of
imports into the Benelux countries of cotton yarn (BTN 55«05 ) from
Mexico , safeguard measures were taken "by the Community authorizing
the Benlux countries to make imports of the products in question origi­
nating in Mexico subject to the granting of authorizations ! the latter
being issued within given quantitative limits ( l ).      These measures were
taken without prejudice to the pursuit and outcome of the consultations
and negotiations already embarked upon between the Community and Mexico
under the provisions of the Arrangement regarding International Trade
in Textiles .
         Following further consultations , which took place during
November 1976 , the Community found that , in view of the recent trend
of Mexican exports of cotton yarn on to the market of the Benelux
countries and in view of the satisfactory assurances given by the
Mexican authorities regarding the future development of these exports ,
particularly to the merket concerned , the measures in question could
be repealed .
         This is the purpose of the proposal for a regulation annexed
hereto , which the Commission hereby submits to the Council adoption *
( l ) Commission Regulation ( EBC ) N O 1369/76 ( OJ No 155 , 16.6.1976) and
      Council Regulation ( EB3 ) N O I823/76 -OJ No L 203 , 29.71976).

 tective measures by Regulation ( EEC ) NO 1369/76 ( 3 ), whereby imports into
the Benelux countries of cotton yarn not put up for retail sale , original-
ting in Mexico , are subjeot to authorization ;
Whereas the above measures were adopted without prejudice to the holding
