of 26 March 1990

suspending the import levy on sheepmeat and goatmeat

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, in the context of the recent adjustments to the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat, it was considered necessary to adjust the relevant voluntary restraint agreements with certain non-Community countries in order to stabilize imports and improve import prices;

Whereas negotiations were conducted to that effect with the countries concerned and an Agreement was concluded in particular with New Zealand (1); whereas that Agreement provides for the complete suspension of the import levy on sheepmeat and goatmeat until 31 December 1992 as a counter concession by the Community;

Whereas the Community has voluntary restraint agreements with its main suppliers, or, failing that, equivalent unilateral arrangements; whereas negotiations are still being held on those agreements or arrangements, and in particular on the quantities to be laid down;
