the Community reduced for 1982 the possibilities for importing certain
products originating in the USSR .

on imports of certain liberalized products - combined with the opening
of quotas lower than imports effected in 1980 and by reducing existing
quotas for other products .

the Council provisionally suspended the pplication of these measures
in Greece ( 2 ) .

the Regulation should be extended or amended .
3.        The Commission considers that the reasons which were behind the
adoption of these measures in 1982 are still valid .
          Hence , this proposal envisages the extension for 1983 of the
measures adopted in 1982 in respect of the USSR .
A.        It is proposed that the Council should adopt the attached Regulation .
          In order to ensure continuity in the measures between 1982 and 1983 ,
