 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . In accordance with the negotiating brief given to the Commission by the
    Council on 20 December 1979 , and in implementation of Regulation ( EEC )
    No 1837 / 80 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and
    goatmeat , voluntary restraint agreements have been concluded with the
    following non-member countries in respect of their exports of products
    of this sector : Argentina , Australia , Austria , Bulgaria , Czechoslovakia ,
    Hungary , Iceland , New Zealand , Poland , Romania , Uruguay and Yugoslavia .
2 . There are a small number of non-member countries exporting products of
    this sector which have not yet been able to give a voluntary restraint
    undertaking ; however , it is appropriate that they should be allowed to
    export certain quantities of these products to the Community in 1983 on
    terms similar to those accorded to the non-member countries referred to
    under 1 above .
3 . The purpose of the present proposal by the Commission is accordingly to
    the limit the amount of levy collected and the issue of import licences
    for certain products in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectpr entering from
    non-member countries other than those referred to under 1 above .      The main
    countries concerned are Chile , the German Democratic Republic and Spain .

        concerning the import system applicable to certain non-member countries
                       in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector in 1983
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
   in particular Article 43 thereof ,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ,
  Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1837 / 80 of 27 June 1980 on the common
  organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat ( 1 ) as (_ as t amended by
                                  (2)
  Regulation ( EEC ) No 1195 / 82     , established a system of trade with non-member
  countries in this sector; whereas this system includes the collection of an import levy ;
  Whereas the Community has concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the
  great majority of the non-member countries exporting sheepmeat and goatmeat
  products ;
  Whereas , pending the conclusion of agreements with other non-member countries which
  traditionally export to the Community , it would seem appropriate to restrict
  in 1983 the collection of the levy and the issue of import licences in respect
  of certain products from these countries ;
  Whereas imports into the Member States should be allowed , account being taken
  of traditional trade patterns .
                                                                                    ./.
