              (1 )
The proposal which is the subject of this proposed amendment was submitted
to the Council by the Commission on 1 August 1980 .
The main amendment concerns the date of expiry of the new Regulation .
The Commi ssion' s > original proposal for a Regulation based on Article 43 ,
replacing Regulation No . 3023 / 79 ( 2 ) , which is in force St present ,
was to remain in force , as Regulation No . 3023 / 79 would have done , until
the end of 1980 .. This amended proposal extends the validity until
31 March 1981 , to help reduce the number of Regulations which have to be
published in December . The adoption of the subsequent Regulation can thus
be deferred until 1 April 1981 .                                           ;
The other proposed amendments concern less important technical points ,
and have been prompted by experience gained in recent months .
