Your Excellency,
I hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter of today, worded as follows :
    'Pursuant to Article 2 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European
     Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic signed on 22 July 1972, I have
    the honour to inform you that Portugal agrees to the extension to 31 January 1981 of
    the detailed arrangements contained in the exchange of letters of 20 December 1972
    between Portugal and the Community relating to the conditions in accordance with
    which prepared and preserved sardines falling within subheading 16.04 D of the
    Common Customs Tariff are imported into the Community.
    The Government of Portugal undertakes, moreover, to ensure that the prices charged
    on imports into the Community from 1 November 19^ shall not be less than the
    prices set in the Annex and also to prevent any deflection of trade.'
Please accept. Your Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.
                                                    On behalf of the Council of
                                                     the European Communities
