On 10 December 1987 the Council signed the Additional Protocol adapting the
Cooperation Agreement with Yogoslavia consequent on the enlargement of the
Community to include Spain and Portugal .
The Additional Protocol provides for the customs duty charged on imports of
sour cherries , fresh or chilled , originating in Yugoslavia to be dismantled ,
and in exchange Yugoslavia has undertaken to limit its exports of this product
to the Community .
The aim of this proposal for a Regulation is to establish a Community
surveillance mechanism for imports of the product in question so as to ensure
that the provisions laid down by the Additional Protocol are properly applied .
The surveillance mechanism involves a system of import licences , the issue of
which will be suspended as soon as the volume of imports for which licences
have been requested exceeds the level fixed .
