                                                                              I

                    1
    27 March 1975 011 unilateral import arrangements in respect of State-
    trading countries , Italy has submitted the following requests for the
    exceptional opening of import quotas for certain products from Romania ,
    viz :
    ( a) transmissions and front axles to the value of Lit . 6,800 million
          ( CCT ex 87.06 )
    (b ) tractor engines to the value of Lit . 3,600 million ( CCT ex 84-06 )
2.  The following observations may be made in connection with thes.e requests
   The products in question are subject to quantitative restrictions only
   in Italy .     In these circumstances , the exceptional opening of these
   quotas for 1979 which has been requested by Italy would not seem to pose
   any particular economic problems , and could have been approved by the
   Commission in accordance with the usual procedure .
3.  However , in view of the trade negotiations , authorised by the Council ,
    being carried on with Romania ( agreement on industrial products ), under
    the first indent of Article 7 of Decision 75/210 , only the Council can
    at the moment approve these measures .
4.  The Commission therefore proposes that the Council :
    – adopt the decision , the draft of which is annexed hereto ;
    – authorise its publication in the Official Journal of the EJuropean
       Communities .
