                  The Cooperation Agreements negotiated "between the European
Economic Community on the one hand and Algeria , Morocco and Tunisia on the
other will probably "be signed at the end of April , Since these Agreements
will not enter into force until they have been ratified, the Contracting
Parties have decided to conclude Interim Agreements for the advance imple­
mentation of certain provisions relating to trade in goods .
                  The Interim Agreements mut enter into force by 1 July 1976 at
the latest .
                  For tomato concentrates , the Cooperation Agreements and
Interim Agreements provide for the conclusion of an exchange of letters
dealing in particular with the detailed rules for the application of the
arrangements adopted by the Community and Algeria.
                  The Commission therefore recommends that the Council
adopt the following draft regulation for an agreement in the form of an
exchange of letters concerning the importation into the Community of to­
mato concentrates originating in Algeria.
                  This Regulation should enter into force at the same time
as the Interim Agreement , that is by 1 July 1976 at the latest .
