Following the entry into force of the new Agreements between the European
Economic Community and certain countries in the Mediterranean area ( Israel ,
Tunisia , Morocco , Egypt , Lebanon , Syria and Jordan ), the observance of the
specified price on the Community market is no longer reguired for the tariff
reduction on imports into the Community of fresh oranges and of mandarins
( including tangerines and satsumas ), Clementines , wilkings and other similar
citrus hybrids originating in those countries .
With regard to Spain and Cyprus , pending the revision of the Agreements
currently linking those countries to the Community special unilateral prov­
isions were adopted , under which the application of the specified price for
the abovementioned products was suspended by Council Regulation ( EEC )
N° 2365 / 77 of 28 October 1977 .  This Regulation expires on 31 December 1977 .
Work on the revision of these Agreements is now under way within the Commun­
ity institutions .   However , the time required for a Council decision on
negotiating directives and , once agreement has been reached on these direct­
ives , the time required for the negotiations , are such that , even if there
were a favourable outcome , the technical delays necessary for applying the .
measures adopted under a negotiated agreement from 1 January 1978 would be
too short .
As a precautionary measure , therefore , and pending the adoption of these
directives and the conclusion of an agreement , steps must be taken forthwith
to extend , until the end of 1978 , Regulation ( EEC ) No 2365 / 77 , which suspends
the specified price for certain types of citrus fruit originating in Spain or
Cyprus .
The Commission is therefore presenting to the Council this proposal for a
regulation , with a view to extending the suspension in question .

               extending           Regulation ( EEC ) No 2365 / 77 suspending
            application of the condition to which the importation into the
            Community of certain types of citrus fruit originating in Spain

                               Community and those countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
                         113
in particular Article        thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 2365 / 77 of 28 October 1977 suspending
application of the condition to which the importation into the Community of
certain types of citrus fruit originating in Spain or in Cyprus is subject
by virtue of the Agreements between the Community and those countries^
expires on 31 December 1977,
Whereas the negotiations on the consolidation of the Agreements currently in
force with Spain and Cyprus have not yet been completed and whereas it is
therefore necessary , in order to avoid any change in the arrangements applic­
able to trade in the products in question , to extend the term of validity of
Regulation ( EEC ) No 2365 / 77 on the suspension of the specified price for
certain types of fresh citrus fruit falling within subheading 08.02 A I or
ex B of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Spain or in Cyprus ,
