for Canada of 2,750 tons of Cheddar cheese within sub-heading 04.04 E I b )
1 aa ).
This Cheddar cheese must be matured for at least 9 months at the time
of import into the Community .     It must be manufactured from raw milk
with certain specific characteristics , which is only available in Canada
from May to September each year .
As the producers in that country have been unable to take the necessary
                               1
measures in time to manufacture the above-mentioned quantity of Cheddar
in 1980 for export to the Community , the quotas for 1981 and 1982 should
be increased to some extent ;     this measure is unlikely to upset the
Community market .
The Canadian authorities have told the Commission Services that the
quantity of Cheddar which can be exported to the Community in 1980 will
not be more than 1,250 tons *
                                                      t      •
Taking into account the attached proposal , the quantity of Canadian
Cheddar which the Community will import in the course of three years
( 1980 , 1981 , 1982 ) will be 7,750 tons instead of 8,250 tons foreseen
in the agreement .
