                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and
the Republic of Tunisia , signed on 25 April 1976 , provides for the
admission into the Community , free of customs duty , of certain Tunisian
wines entitled to a designation of origin , subject to an annual quota
of 50 000 hectolitres .
As provided for in the Cooperation Agreement , the list of such wines
was drawn up by agreement , in the form of an exchange of letters ,
concluded between the two parties , which resulted in a Council Regulation
of 16 October 1978 .
A designation of origin was subsequently accorded to " Coteaux d'Utique"
wine by Tunisian law in 1982 and by the Community in 1983 .
In response to Tunisia's request to include coteaux d' Utique wines in the
list of wines concerned , this draft regulation amends
to that end Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 2457 / 78 of 16 October 1978 .
