COM(77 ) 534 final
 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Protocol 1 to the Agreement between the Community and Portugal
provides that imports of certain products originating in Portugal
and subject to progressive reductions in customs duties shall /
from the entry into force of the Agreement in 1973, be subject
to      annual indicative ceilings above which customs duties can
be reintroduced .
Provision is also made in Protocol 1 that if , for two successive
years , imports of a product subject to a ceiling are less than 90%
of the level fixed, the Community shall suspend application of this
ceiling . As Community totals of amounts set off against the ceilings
for 1975 and 1976, drawn up on the basis of monthly communications
from the Member States , showed that imports of certain products
did not reach 90% in those years , the Community suspended, by
Council Regulation ( EEC) No 1279/77, application of the ceilings
already fixed for 1977 .
Investigations have shown, however, that in 1976 the communications
of some of the Member States concerning a certain product were
erroneous , and that imports had in fact exceeded 90% of the level
fixed .
The Community is therefore obliged to establish the ceiling for
this product once again:      and to amend the abovementioned
regulation accordingly .
 This is the subject of the present proposal for a regulation .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community
and in particular Article 113 thereof ,

European Economic Community and the Republic of Portugal , the

Community has , by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1279/ 77 , suspended
the application of the ceilings for imports of certain products ;
Whereas it has been found that , in 1976, the communications from
the Member States relating to the quantities to be set off against
the ceiling established - for a certain product were erroneous ;
whereas                     the corrected figures        do not     justify
           the suspension by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1279/ 77 of the
application of the said ceiling ;      whereas' the above Regulation should'
therefore be amended accordingly ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
