                      (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
   Annexes B to the Cooperation Agreements and Annexes B to the
   Interim Agreements between the European Economic Community and
   Morocco and Algeria respectively, and Annex IV to Decision n* 1/77
   to the EEC-Turkey Association Council of 28 December 1976 on the
   outcome of the second review of the arrangements applicable to
   Turkish agricultural products, provide for the possibility of
   increasing, by fixing an additional amount, the amount of the
   deduction which may be made, under certain conditions, from the
   levy applicable to imports into the Community of olive oil other
   than olive oil having undergone a refining process.
   This additional amount, if any, is fixed for each year of
   application by an exchange of letters between the Contracting
   Parties in the light of the situation on the olive oil market.
   In order to facilitate the management of the agreements concerned,
   the Commission considers it appropriate that the additional amount
   should be maintained at its present level until 31 December 1993
   for Algeria, Morocco and Turkey.
   It therefore recommends that the Council authorize it to negotiate
   the attached exchanges of letters with the countries in question.
3. In view of the time needed       to carry out the procedures, the
   Commission is now submitting   to the Council the Decisions on the
   conclusion of the exchange      of letters which it proposes to
   negotiate with the countries   in question, together with proposals
   for roegulations to implement  the measures agreed in the exchanges
   of letters.
   The Commission proposes that the Council adopt these measures as
   soon as it is informed by the former of the completion of the
   negotiations and of the final texts of the exchanges of letters.
