                            EXPLANATORY     MEMORANDUM
According to the Agreement between the European Economic
Community and the United States of America concluding
negociations under GATT Article XXIV.6, as approved by Counci I
Decision of 30 January 1987, the Community was committed to open
an annual quota of 2 Mio tonnes of maize and 0,3 Mio tonnes of
sorghum for import into Spain for each of the years 1987-1990.
These annual quotas were to be reduced by the quantities of
certain non-grain feed ingredients imported into Spain within the
year .
Special arrangements for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain
from 1987 to 1991 were laid down in Council Regulation (EEC)
No 1799/87 of 25 June 1987 (1) as amended by regulation (EEC)
No 3391/91 ( 2 ) , with the aim of ensuring the achievement of the
above committment.
An extension of one year for 1991 of the initial Agreement
between the Community and the United States of America was
approved by Council Regulation 91/30/EEC (3) of 21 December 1990.
The application of the measures taken under this Agreement was
extended until 31 December 1992 by Council Regulation (EEC)
No 3919/91 of 19 December 1991 ( 4 ) .
Accordingly, the present draft regulation foresees the amendment
of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1799/87. This amendment consists
of an extension for one year of tne said Regulation with
retroactive effect as from 1.1.1992.
