                   EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
                                                                 1
At the end of 1980 the Commission had proposed to the Council      certain
amendments to Regulation ( EEC ) No 926 /79 on common rules for imports .
Bearing in mind the need to 1 maintain the maximum degree of consistency
in the rules and procedures applicable to imports from non-member countries
generally and those applicable to imports from state-trading countries ,,
the Commission had also proposed similar amendments to Regulation ( EEC )
           2
No 925 / 79 on common rules for imports from state-trading countries .
Since then the Council 's deliberations - which have been very difficult -
have been entirely taken up with the review of Regulation ( EEC ) No 926 / 79
and examination of Regulation ("EEC ) No 925 / 79 has not yet begun . Accordingly ,
the Commission proposes to the Council that the time allowed for review
be extended by six months .
The Commission reserves the right , moreover, to present to the Council at
the appropriate time a proposal for amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 2532 / 78
on common rules for imports from the People 's Republic of China .
A proposal for a Regulation for the purpose stated above is herewith
presented for approval .
