The Commission having received its negotiating brief from the Council
on 20 December 1979, voluntary restraint agreements with Argentina ,
Australia , New Zealand and Uruguay on the export of sheepmeat and
goatmeat came into force on 20 October 1980 , as did Regulation ( EEC )
No 1837/ 80 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and
goatmeat .  "                                 -
Similar agreements with Austria , Iceland , Poland , Rumania and Yugoslavi
                *\
are due to be approved by the Council .
Bulgaria , Hungary and Czechoslovakia have undertaken autonomously; to
limit their exports to the quantities negotiate^ with the Commission ,
pending the conclusion of definitive voluntary restraint agreements .
As regards the few non-member countries which i export sheepmeat and
goatmeat but have not yet been able to give any undertaking on
voluntary restraint , the Commission considers that they should
nevertheless - be allowed to export certain quantities of the products
concerned to the Community in 1981 , on terms similar to those
applicable to the non-member countreis mentioned in 1 above .
The purpose of the Commission proposal is , consequently, to limit the
levy collected on, and the issue of import licences for , certain
sheepmeat and goatmeat products from non-member, countries other than
those mentioned in 1 . above .                          .   .

          concerning the import system applicable to certain non-member

                       in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector       in 1981
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 Opinion .of the European Parliament f ■
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1837/ 80 of 27 June 1980 on the common
                                                         2
organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat 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 or is in the process of concluding
voluntary restraint agreements with the great majority of the non-member
countries exporting sheepmeat arid goatmeat products ;                    •
Whereas , pending the conclusion of agreements with the other non-member
countries which traditionally export to the Community, it would seem
appropriate to restrict in 1981 the collection of the levy and the issue of
import licences in respect of certain products from these countries ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
