        originating in this , country     and subject to progressive reductions
         in customs duties shall , from the entry into force of these Agreement
        in 197 5, be subject to an annual indicative ceiling above which
        customs duties can be reintroduced .
        The Community has accordingly , fixed , under Council regulation                    the
      . ceilings applicable in 197 8 to imports of a number of products .
        (Regulation (EEC) • No- 2818/ 77, see OJ No L 331 of 23.12.1977 ).
1.2 However , provision is made in           Protocol No 1 that , if , for two
        successive years , imports of a product subject to a ceiling are less
        than 90Z of the level fixed , the Community shall suspend application
        of this ceiling . The Community totals of- amounts set off against the
        ceilings for 197 6 and 1977 show that imports of certain products did
        not reach 90% in those years . This being so , the Community is obliged
        to suspend application of the ceilings already fixed for 1978 and to
        amend the above mentioned Regulation' accordingly .
2.1 It is submitted that the proposal for the Council regulation annexed
        hereto be approved , i.e. providing for :
        suspension of the application of the indicative ceiling to which.-
        imports of certain products originating in Israel               ........... n.-. are

Whereas, pursuant to Protocol 1 annexed to the Agree-                       -
ment between the European Economic Community
and , the State of Israel , the Community                              This Regulation shall be binding in

whereas provision is made under the said Protocol

subject to a ceiling are less than 90 % of the amount
fixed, the Community shall suspend the application of
this ceiling ;
Whereas the Communities' statistical summaries for
197 6 and 197 7show that imports of certain products
which are subject to ceilings have not reached 90 %
of the ceilings indicated ; whereas, therefore, the
Community should suspend application of the ceil - .
ings valid for imports of the products in question for
 1978 ; whereas, however, it is desirable to keep under
review the development of these imports by statistical
supervision,
