                   RECOMMENDATION FOR A COUNCIL DECISION
  on the conclusion of the agreement amending the agreement between the
           EEC and the Arab Republic of Syria on the supply of
                      flour of soft wheat as food aid

    1 . During the negotiations of August a.nd September 1974 for the Agreement 1
          between the K0C and the Arab Republic of Syria on supply of flour of
          soft wheat as food aid for 1973/74 » the Commission had proposed to the
         Syrian authorities a UMR figure^, to appear in Article V of the Agreement ,
         of 204 000 metric tons of soft wheat or its equivalent in flour of soft
         wheat , ihe calculation of this figure had been based , in accordance with
         the principles adopted in this connection within the framework of the FAO
         on average commercial imports into Syria during the preceding 5 years .
           1 . Syria 's import requirements were lower in 1973/74 than in the preceding
                 years , the country 's requirements tending to fluctuate greatly from
                                                                     *       · -   Λ ,
                year to year be reason of harvest variations ;
          ii . their count ry was facing severe economic difficulties as a result of
                the efforts being ma.de for reconstruction }
       ni . help for refugees had been added to the usual burdens on the State .
       The council was subsequently informed (by telex from the delegation in
       Washington , on 21 November 1974 ) that for their part the United States had
       signed a wheat supply agreement with Syria under PL 4-80, on the basis of -
 a UMR of 204.-000 metric tons , thus breaking the rule that the UMR is indivisible
 (        a given product aiid period there can be only one UMR). On being consulted
 the Syrian Embassy confirmed this information and explained that the Syrian
 Government had had to make a special -fcereals distribution to peasants and
villages in Syria and accordingly found itself obliged to increase its
purchases 01 . • sat on the international markets . Furthermore , it declared
its readiness to renegotiate the Agreement with the Community.

   The Agreement was signed on 11 November 1974 , see OJ No. L 355 of 14 December
2
   flVn                 15 Requirement , expressing the recipient country 's need to import
   it  *       n- S°ur°es d^ing the year in question a certain quantity of wheat or
   its equivalent xn flour .
 ---pagebreak---  . While regretting that the Syrian Government had negotiated on the basis of
   two UMRs ( with the Community then with the United States ) and having
   communicated its regret to the Syrian authorities , the Commission considers
   that the Agreement should be suitably amended (the UMR figure of 204 000
   metric tons being restored ) in view of the fact that this amendment is
   after all in the interests of the exporting countries and therefore of the
   Community.
                                                               «
. It is therefore proposed that the Council conclude the Agreement in the
   form of ail exchange of letters^" amending the supply Agreement signed on
   11 November by the Syrian Government and the Community .          ,   «. . ,

                                      § ï£!=MAIORY_MEHORANDyM
1.                The purpose of this proposal for a recommendation for a Council
Decision is to open negotiations with the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia with a view to drawing up an exchange of letters amending the
Interim Agreement signed on 6 May , which entered into force on .1 July ,
and the Cooperation Agreement , and in particular Annex A to these
Agreements *
2.                On account of a clerical error which has crept into these
                              I
Annexes , a correction must be inserted in respect of the plum spirit named
" Si j i vovica " falling under CCT heading ex 22.09 . The present wording of
Annex A to the two           above Agreements and of article 8 of the Interim Agree
ment and of article 21 of the' Cooperation Agreement give rise to a situation
that the negotiators had no intention of creating . This error would result
in the above product being free of customs duties and charges having equi
valent effect , and of quantitative restrictions or measures having
equivalent effect if it were not presented in containers of no niore than
2 litres , or if it were presented in this form and the annual Community
tariff quota of 5.420 hectolitres specified in the above article         had been
used up or , again , if it we^-, imported into the Community within the limits
of this quota but without the certificate of authenticity referred to in
the said articles .
                  This is contrary to Community practice and to the agreements
concluded by the Community restricting concessions for products presented in
containers of no more than 2 litres and not in bulk .

                            /
3.            In addition , the negotiations bore out clearly that this product
was excluded from the scope of Article 2 of the Interim Agreement and of Artie
15 of the Cooperation Agreement      unless presented in containers of no more
than 2 litres and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity , the duty
payable being reduced within the framework of an annual Community tariff
quota where these two conditions are fulfilled .
4.            Aware of the difficulties that would be bound to result from
faulty wording and in the light of the entry into force of the Interim
Agreement   on 1 July and the imminent entry into force of the Implementing
Regulation providing for the opening , allocating and administration of
the above quota , the Commission hopes that the Council will adopt as
quickly as possible the annexed negotiating directives for the conclusion
of an exchange of letters amending the Interim Agreement and the Coopera
tion Agreement .                                                         ,
