Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 19/82 of 6 January 1982 laying down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 2641/80 with regard to imports of sheepmeat and goatmeat products originating in certain non-member countries (4) relates in particular to licences issued in the framework of voluntary-restraint agreements and Annex III thereof contains a list of authorities in third countries empowered to issue export licences;

Whereas the Community has just concluded a voluntary-restraint agreement with the German Democratic Republic; whereas that agreement takes effect form 1 December 1987; and provides for the quantities, which may be imported up to 1 January 1988, to be fixed pro rata to the annual global quantity. whereas Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 19/82 should accordingly be supplemented by details of the authority of the German Democratic Republic empowered to issue export licences;

Whereas, for the sake of clarity, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 20/82 of 6 January 1982 on special detailed rules for applying the system of import and export licences for sheepmeat and goatmeat (5) should also be amended to include the German Democratic Republic among the third countries listed in Article 1 (b); whereas, at the same time, that provision should also list Czecoslovakia, which does not appear therein as a result of a clerical error;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
