At the same time as it made agreements with Thailand, Indonesia and Brazil on
manioc import quotas for the years 1983 to 1986, the Community undertook to
the GATT contracting parties to allow, during the period of suspension of the
present consolidation, certain quantities of manioc to be imported at 6$ ad
valorem duty.  Under the most-favoured-nation clause the Community must accord
equal treatment to third countries which are not members of GATT and which
benefit from that clause.
For this reason the Council by Regulation (EEC) No 604/82 fixed for these
countries, of which the most important is China, a quota of 370.000 tonnes for
1983.
As there have been no new developments in the situation the same quantity
should be fixed for 1984.
