   special measures consisting of a 90/J reduction in nonpar i ch«r ges on
 • imports of beef and vfeal from certain ACP countries provided that an
   export, tax of a similar amount i si paid when the meat             exported from
   the ACP count He's concerned . These measures expire o . 31 . December 1978 .
   A mission sent by the Commission to Botswana and 'Swazi I - ad to check on
   the situation confirmed that meat-producers 5 incomes • -oX'ld be seriowsly
   affected if these special measures were reduced or cbolished .                   .
              . .     *                  ^
   therefore , in view of the independence of the - economy of the ACP states
   concerned on these exports and in particular of the problems inherent
   in Botswana 's geographical and geopolitical position , the Commission -
   considers that the present arrangements should be continued-.                  _   .
   The Commission is aware that on several occasions certain Member States
    have asked for changes in the current measures * . The checks made in the
    ACP countries concerned 'have , - however., shown that there Mould be *
    administrative and practical difficulties in replacing the current
    measures by new ones , particularly, when the Lome Convention is close to
    expiry (1 March 1980 ),              -                                              -
. The Commission therefore considers that , for the period 1 January 1979
    to the expiry of the Lome Convention, the current measures which have
    proved their worth and which, still seem the most suvcablc means of .
     attaining the desired aims should once more' be extended . The purpose of
     the proposal of a regulation .annexed hereto is to propose that these
     measures be extended ,.                                         -

 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ^-
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community , and in particular Article 43 thereof ,
                                                                 *
Having regard to the proposal from the Cofismi ssion .
                                                                     (1 )
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament                   ,
Whereas certain signatory States of the ACP-EEC Convention of Lome are
traditional suppliers of beef and veal to the Commuriit >                          ...
production of beef and veal is an essential factor in their economies ,
which are highly dependent upon these exports ; whereas , since the States
concerned are the least developed among the States which export beef
and veal to the Community , special measures could contribute to main­
taining a regular flow of imports ;
Whereas this situation has been taken into account by Council Regulation
( EEC ) No v 3328/ 75 of 18 December 1975 renewing the arrangements for the
reduction of import charges on beef and veal products originating in
                                                     (2)

                                    (3)
Regulation ( EEC ) No 2570 / 77         ; whereas , as a result , proviaed the ACP
States apply an export tax of a corresponding amount , there is partial
compensation of the import charges other than customs duties in respect
 of the products referred to in Article 1 ( a ) of Council Regulation
 ( EEC ) No 805 / 68 of 27 -June 1968 on the common organization of the
                              (4)
 market in beef and veal           , as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 425 /
