                                                            (1 )
            The cooperation agreement and interim agreement currently in
force between the European Economic Community and Algeria envisage a
reductiolV/ taMff applicable to tomato concentrates originating irom this
Algeria .   This tariff reduction would only be applicable from the date
and for a duration of time set out in an exchange of letters between the
contracting parties each year to fix the conditions and methods of im
plementation of the reduction .
            A similar measure is contained in Decision No 1 / 77 of the
EEC-Turkey Council of Association as well as in article 12 of Council
regulation ( EEC ) No 1180 / 77 of 17th May 1977 regarding the import into
the Community of certain agricultural products originating from Turkey .
             Since the validity of the exchange of letters covering the
 calendar year 1977 expires on the 31st December both in the case of
Algeria and , in part , in the case of Turkey , and so that traditional
import trade of the products in question are not disrupted , the Commis
sion considers it opportune to renew the application of these measures .
            With regard to the quantities to be fixed by the exchange of
letters , the production and market conditions which led to the esta
blishment of these quantities at 1C0 tonnes and 11.000 tonnes for Alge
ria and Turkey respectively do not appear      to have undergone significant
change and would thus allow the same quantities as fixed for 1977 to be
maintained .                                                    ^
            For these reasons , the Commission recommends the Council to
adopt the proposals fcr regulations attached which envisage the conclusion
of an exchange of letters envisaged in the above mentioned legislation .
< 1 ) The interim agreement expires 31st December 1977 .   However,' the
      Community intends to maintain its commercial relations with Algeria
      and therefore the terms in force for 1978 should not be less favou
      rable than these fixed for 1977 .
