Having regard to Council Decision 84/633/EEC of 11 December 1984 authorizing the Commission, in the context of the voluntary restraint agreements on trade in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector between the European Economic Community and 12 non-member States, to convert for the purposes of the smooth operation of trade, live animals into fresh or chilled meat or fresh or chilled meat into live animals within the quantities agreed (1), and in particular Article 1 (1) thereof;
Whereas, under an Agreement concluded with the Community, Romania has undertaken to restrict its exports of sheepmeat and goatmeat to the Community to annual quantities of 475 tonnes of live animals, expressed as carcase weight bone-in, and of 75 tonnes of fresh and chilled meat;
Whereas Romania has asked the Community to convert the 75 tonnes of fresh and chilled meat that may be exported to the Community in 1985 into 75 tonnes of live animals expressed as carcase weight bone-in; whereas the extremely limited quantity covered by the request will not disturb the Community market; whereas the market situation is such that the application can be granted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
The quantity of live sheep and goats other than pure-bred breeding animals falling within subheading 01.04 B of the Common Customs Tariff that may be imported from Romania in 1985, under the Agreement concluded with that country, shall be 550 tonnes expressed as carcase weight bone-in.

Whereas the equivalent value of the ecu in certain national currencies on 1 October 1988 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1986; whereas the automatic change in the base date would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies  concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ecus,
The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), ECU 2 590 shall be replaced by ECU 2 820;
