COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3368/87

of 9 November 1987

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 concerning the import arrangements applicable to certain third countries in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector as from 1986

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

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

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

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 794/87 (4), established arrangements for trade with third countries in this sector;

Whereas the Community has concluded voluntary restraint agreements with the great majority of third countries exporting sheepmeat and goatmeat products;

Whereas, pending the conclusion of voluntary restraint agreements with the other third countries traditionally exporting to the Community, Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 (5) enables the said countries to export to the Community certain quantities of relevant products on terms similar to those agreed for the third countries having already concluded voluntary restraint agreements;

Whereas the Community has just concluded a voluntary restraint agreement with the German Democratic Republic; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3643/85 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
