of 13 June 1985

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3599/82 on temporary importation arrangements as regards the date of its implementation

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28, 43 and 235 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Article 34 of Regulation (EEC) No 3599/82 (4) stipulates that the Regulation shall be implemented one year after the adoption of the implementing provisions which will be adopted for Articles 7 (2), 10 (2), 20 (d), 21 (3) and 24 (2); whereas the said provisions were adopted by Regulation (EEC) No 1751/84 (5) on 13 June 1984; whereas, in consequence, Regulation (EEC) No 3599/82 must be implemented on 13 June 1985;

Whereas numerous difficulties have been encountered in connection with the establishment of the new arrangements introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 3599/82; whereas it is essential that the establishment of the new arrangements be implemented as smoothly as possible; whereas, therefore, it is appropriate to postpone the date of implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3599/82 to 1 January 1986,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
