                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
                 International Coffee Agreement 1983
At its meeting in London on 26 and 27 November last year the
Executive Board of the International Coffee Organization amended
Rule 18 of the Rules for the Application of a System of Certificates
of Origin provided for under the International Coffee Agreement
1983 when quotas are in effect . It is therefore necessary to
update Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3761 / 83 accordingly .
As there have been a number of amendments to the Regulation in
question , it is at the same time desirable to consolidate these
scattered provisions in a single text .
As the export quota system , which has been suspended since the end
of February last year , could be reintroduced at short notice , the
concomitant regulatory mechanism has to be established without
delay .
That is the purpose of this Regulation .
