COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3842/92  of 17 December 1992  on the suspension of the import levy on sheepmeat and goatmeat sector products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has voluntary restraint agreements with Austria, Romania and Iceland and equivalent unilateral arrangements established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 of 19 December 1985 concerning the import arrangements applicable to  certain third countries in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector as from 1986 (1);
Whereas, pursuant to Council Regulations (EEC) No 753/90 of 26 March 1990 suspending the import levy on sheepmeat and goatmeat (2) and (EEC) No 1373/90 of 21 May 1990 suspending the import levy on live sheep and goats (3), the levy on the import of live  sheep and goats and sheepmeat and goatmeat from the abovementioned countries in particular has been suspended until 31 December 1992;
Whereas a voluntary restraint agreement was concluded with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1981; whereas, while the substance of the Agreement remained unchanged, certain details of the management of the import arrangements laid down  were suspended and replaced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3125/92 of 26 October 1992 on the arrangements applicable to the importation into the Community of sheepmeat and goatmeat products originating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia,  Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (4);
Whereas negotiations with Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, New Zealand, Poland and Uruguay have led to the extension of the adjustments to the voluntary restraint agreements until 31 December 1993 and consequently the collection  of the levy applicable to those countries is suspended until that date;
Whereas it seems appropriate to extend the above suspension, subject to certai quantitative limits, to all supplier countries;
Whereas the effect of the establishment of the single market from 1 January 1993 should be taken into consideration,
