1 . By Regulation ( EEC ) N° 2728 / 79 of 3 December 1979 ( 1 ), the Council opened
     and allocated among the.Member States a duty-free Community tariff quota
    -for 1980 for certain hand-made products , which are listed in Article 1
    thereof .
2 . In a Note dated 23 January 1980 , the Bolivian Mission to the European Com­
    munities has requested that this quota be extended to include ponchos in
    fine animal hair ( in alpaca ), falling within subheadings ex 60.05 A II b )
    4 11 ) 11 , ex 61.01 B V b ) 1 and ex 61.02 B II e ) 2 aa ), and pullovers in
    fine animal hair , falling within subheadings ex 60.05 A II b ) 4 bb ) 11 aaa )
    and ex 60.05 A II b ) 4 bb ) 22 bbb),of the Common Customs Tariff .
    This request is justified by the . fact that Bolivia cannot benefit from the
  v Generalized System of Preferences since , to date , it has not yet concluded
    a bilateral agreement with the Community under the MFA for these handicraft
    products , whose export constitutes a major source of revenue for the poorest
    Bolivian craftsmen .
                                  •                      • •  ' 1 '    ,            '
3 . For these reasons , the Commission proposes to give sympathetic consideration
    to the request received and , thus , the abovement ioned quota will be extended
    to include these products . This is the aim of the attached proposal .
