fixed the rates of duty to apply for the period 1 January 1981 to
31 December 1982 in respect of imports of certain agricultural products
originating in Turkey .
Those rates were calculated , in accordance with the above mentioned Decision
N° 1 / 80 of 19 September 1980 , on the basis of the duties applicable to
imports into the Community .
The Council has established tariff quotas or has suspended , as from
1 July 1982 ( 3 ), the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for certain
