 ---pagebreak---                       Explanatory Memorandum
1. The Community and Norway have concluded a temporary arrangement for a
   concerted discipline concerning reciprocal trade in cheese .      The
   arrangement enters into force on 1 January 1983 .
2. In order to implement the arrangement it is necessary to amend Council
   Regulation (EEC ) No 2915 / 79 of 18 December 1979 determining the groups of
   products and the special provisions for calculating levies on milk and
   milk products and amending Regulation (EEC ) No 950 / 68 on the Common
   Customs Tariff , as last amended by Regulation (EEC ) No 1463 / 82 , viz .:
   - fix the levy at 55 ECU per 100 kg net weight as agreed and include a
     reference to the product in Article 1 1 ( 2 ) of the said Regulation ;
   - supplement Annex II by including the cheese 's description agreed in the
     arrangement .
3. In this connection , " ex" should be added to the Common Customs Tariff
   subheadings listed iji Annex II since the description of the goods covers
   only part of the subheading referred to .
4. Since the Regulation is to apply as from 1 January 1983 provision must be
   made for its adoption by the Council and its publication in the Official
   Journal at least two months beforehand so that the Commission can adjust the
   implementing Regulations and the customs authorities in the Member
   States can take the necessary measures for the entry of the cheese into
   the Community .
