the measures necessary to fulfil the reciprocal engagements that were the

valid until the entry into force of the new Convention , and at the latest
until 30 June 197^t should be concluded in the form of an exchange of letters
between the Community , and the ACP States concerned .
The Commission also considers it necessary that the Council should adopt

ex charge of letters , be made in order to guarantee imports of cane sugar

     Quantities exported in excess of these quantities shall be deducted from the
     quantities agreed for the following year .

     covered by this Arrangement to a maximum amount of 10 % ad valorem .
