Whereas certain non-member countries which have concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the European Economic Community have undertaken to limit their exports of sheepmeat and goatmeat to sensitive marketing zones to the traditional quantities or the quantities towards which the traditional trade flows have tended; whereas, under the provisions of the third indent of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/80, the issuing of import licences for the products in question is suspended when agreed import quantities into these zones are exceeded; whereas the quantities that may be imported into these zones for 1988 should therefore be specified and importers should be informed of the time from which licences will no longer be granted;
Whereas quantities have already been agreed, by exchange of letter, with Austria (4), Iceland (4), Czechoslovakia (4), Yugoslavia (4), New Zealand (5), Romania (6), Uruguay up to 31 March 1988 (7), and the German Democratic Republic (8);
Whereas for Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland the quantities must be fixed each year in the framework of consultation;

Whereas discussions are taking place with Argentina regarding arrangements for the French and Irish markets; whereas, however, a quantity has not yet been agreed; whereas in view of the present situation and in order not to interrupt trade flows, a provisional quantity should be fixed autonomously;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
The competent authorities of France shall issue, up to the quantities listed in the Annex hereto, import licences for 1988 for sheepmeat and goatmeat falling within subheading 0104 10 90, 0104 20 90 and heading No 0204 of the combined nomenclature, imported from the non-member countries listed in the Annex into France.
