COM ( 79 ) 491 final
 ---pagebreak---                    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In the context of GATT , it has been agreed that certain agricultural
products coming from the Community may benefit from a special import
treatment in third countries if these products comply with certain
specifications and /or price conditions . From 1 January 1980 such
an agreement shall apply to certain products of the dairy
sector *
With a view of proving that products exported from the Community
comply with these conditions , a document issued by the competent
authorities in the Community must in certain cases accompany such
products *
The purpose of this draft Regulation is to establish the necessary
legal basis to implement the arrangement *
The Regulation shall apply on imports made in third countries
after 1 January 1980 ,  The products concerned may thus be exported
from the Community before that date .   Therefore , the implementing
Regulations must be adopted and published very soon among other
things to have the necessary forms printed in the middle of November 1979 ,
To allow this , this Regulation should be adopted by the Council
before 15 November 1979 ,
The Regulation is based on Article 43 of the Treaty and the European
Parliament must therefore be consulted .
There are no financial  repercussions on the Community budget .
