                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The agreement of 14 July 1986 in the form of an exchange of Letters
between the European Communities and Finland in the agricultural
sector , which was approved by Council Decision ( EEC ) No 5561 / 86 of
                    (1 )
15 September 1986        foresees the opening of a yearly tariff-quota
for the import of 2 500 tonens of Finnish malt with a levy reduction
by 100 ECU / t .
The present proposal foresees the detailed rules of this quota for 1987 .
The yearly quota was opened for the first time in 1986 by Council
Regulation (EEC ) No 2376/86 of 24.7.1986 < 2) .
Because this Regulation was published in the second half of the year ,
Finland could only use 800 tonnes out of the foreseen 2 500 tonnes in
1986 .   Exceptionnal ly and without prejudice for the coming years , it
is proposed , on a Finnish request , to carry over the 1 700 tonnes
not used in 1986 to 1987 .
