 ---pagebreak---                      EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
On 21 December 1976 the Council adopted the Directive on health problems
                                                  (1 )
affecting intra-Community trade in meat products       whose entry into force
was fixed for 1 July 1979 .
However / it has become clear that the entry into force on the date fixed
by this Directive would entail certain restrictions in the movement of
some products / justification for which restrictions has in the meantime
been forwarded to the Council .
In order to ensure maximum fluidity in trade / it appears necessary to
reconsider certain existing provisions and to make any alterations to
them which might appear necessary .
In order not to prejudge these solutions and pending their emergence / it is
necessary to defer by one year the date of the entry into force of the above
Directive .  The attached draft was prepared for this purpose .
         No L 26 / 31.1.1977 / p. 85 .

 certain amendments should be made to existing Community provisions in
 respect of fresh-meat , including f resh-poultrymeat ,

 decisions , the application of theabovementioned Directive should 'be post­
 poned ,             .
