Le contingent annuel à l' Importation de 550.000 tonnes de sons avec
prélèvement réduit n' a pas d' impact économique sur les entreprises .
L' accord conclu avec l' Argentine prévoit que la réduction du
prélèvement à l' Importation accordée par la CEE est compensée par
une taxe à l' exportation chez le pays fournisseur d' un montant
correspondant .
