Article 4 ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) of Annex 1 to the 19&9 Association Agreement with
Morocco and Article 4 ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) of Annex 1 to the 1969 Association
Agreement with Tunisia stipulate that the tariff reduction on imports
 into the Community of fresh oranges and fresh small fruit originating
 in those countries is subject to application of a price that is not
higher than the Community reference price .       Implementing regulations
were adopted in order to permit the application of the provisions in
 question .
The Association Agreements having expired , their trade provision have been
extended autonomously by the Community , most recently on 30 December 1975
by Regulations ( EEC ) NO 2108/75 and No 2107/75 until 30 June 1976 .
New agreements have been negotiated with Morocco and Tunisia .        These
agreements provide for a tariff reduction on imports into the Community
of fresh oranges and fresh small fruit originating in those countries ,
such reduction no longer being subject , however , to application of the
contractual price .    For technical reasons it will probably not be possible
for the trade provisions of the new agreements to enter into force before
end of the citrus fruit marketing year .     In view of the importance of this
sector for the countries concerned , and for the important role it plays
their exports , application of the contractual price stipulated in the 19^9
Agreements with Morocco and Tunisia should be suspended as from now ; the
Commission accordingly proposes, that the Council adopt in respect of those
countries this proposal for a regulation ruspending application of the
provisions of the Agreements imposing the contractual price and of the
relevant implementing regulations .
