                                  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . Paragraph 9 of the temporary agreement of 6 July 1982 on concerted disciplines
    concerning imports of cheese into Spain specified that the Joint Committee ,
    set up under the Agreement , would meet in the second half of 1982 to decide
    whether , and under what conditions , the Agreement should be extended .
2 . At the consultations which took place on 11 November between Spanish and
    Community delegations , it was deemed appropriate to extend the Agreement
    for one year . Agreement was also reached concerning the quantities of
    imports of cheese into Spain from the Community on the basis of which import
    licences would be granted by the Spanish authorities in 1983 .
    These quantities , which in total exceed by 4.7 % the level of imports set
    for 1982 , have been determined with a view to ensuring optimum utilization of
    the licences granted for each group of cheeses through the transfer of cer­
    tain quantities not used in previous years to other groups of cheeses .
3 . The Article 113 Committee , which met on 11 November in Geneva , expressed a
    favourable opinion concerning the outcome described above .
