This draft Regulation Is designed to provide for exemption from Import
duties for yams and similar products for human consumption from the
African , Caribbean and Pacific States associated with the Community within
the limit of a tariff quota of 10.000 tonnes .
This measure Is the consequence of commitments made by the Community In the
context of discussions with the ACP states since 1983 . The quantity of
10.000 tonnes represents traditional trade for this product from the ACP
states to the Community .
In order to avoid this concession liberating extra quantities of products
capable'of substituting for cereals for animal feed , provision Is made that
Imports of these products under this concession shall be counted against
the existing Community quotas covering the Imports of high starch
agricultural products largely used for Incorporation Into animal
feedstuffs .
