  Article 16 of the LoinS Convention forsees the putting Into action of a system
  designed to guarantee the stabilization of earnings for certain exports of raw
  materials from the ACP States to the Community as listed in Article 17 of
  the Convention .               !
  Council Decision ( EEC ) No 76/568 of 29 June 1976 concerning the association
