                                                                                    Brussels,
          Sir,
          Pursuant to Article 3 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European Economic
           Community and the Portuguese Republic signed on 22 July 1972, I hereby inform you
          that in view of the forthcoming introduction in the Community of common
           arrangements for trade with third countries in processed fruit and vegetable products,
           Portugal agrees to the extension to the end of the current marketing year, that is to
           say to 31 May 1975 at the latest, of the detailed arrangements contained in the
           exchanges of letters of 20 December 1972 and 26 June 1974 between Portugal and
           the Community relating to the conditions governing imports into the Community of
           tomatoes which are prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid and
           originate in and come from Portugal .
           Accordingly, the Government of Portugal undertakes to take the necessary measures
           to ensure that the quantities supplied to the Community in 1975 do not exceed 90 000
           metric tons, comprising 28 000 metric tons to the Community as originally constituted
           and a total of 62 000 metric tons to Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
           The Government of Portugal undertakes, moreover, to ensure that the prices charged
           for the imports into the Community from 1 February 1975 shall not be less than the
           prices set out in Annexes I and II hereto, and also to prevent any deflection of trade.
           Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
                                                                  For the Government of Portugal

          Sir,
          I hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter of today's date, worded as follows :
               'Pursuant to Article 3 of Protocol 8 to the Agreement between the European
               Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic signed on 22 July 1972, I hereby
               inform you that in view of the forthcoming introduction in the Community of
               common arrangements for trade with third countries in processed fruit and vegetable
               products, Portugal agrees to the extension to the end of the current year, that is to
               say 31 May 1975 at the latest, of the detailed arrangements contained in the
               exchanges of letters of 20 December 1972 and 26 June 1974 between Portugal
               and the Community relating to the conditions governing imports into the Com­
               munity of tomatoes which are prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or
               acetic acid and originate in and come from Portugal.
               Accordingly, the Government of Portugal undertakes to take all necessary measures
               to ensure that the quantities supplied to the Community in 1975 do not exceed
               90 000 metric tons, comprising 28 000 metric tons to the Community as originally
               constituted and a total of 62 000 metric tons to Denmark, Ireland and the United
               Kingdom.
               The Government of Portugal undertakes, moreover, to ensure that the prices
               charged for the imports into the Community from 1 February 1975 shall not be
               less than the prices set out in Annexes I and II hereto, and also to prevent any
               deflection of trade .'
          I hereby confirm that the extension of the exchanges of letters forms part of a
          temporary solution applicable until the introduction of common import arrangements
          which are to enter into force in the near future.
          Were the entry into force of the common import arrangements to be delayed beyond
          31 May 1975 , the Community is prepared to lay down a rate of increase of the
          quantities for the period from 1 June 1975 to 31 December 1975 should that prove
          necessary in view of the state of the market, the term 'state of the market' being taken
          in its widest sense, to cover also exports from the Community.
          Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
                                                                           For the Council of
