Letter No 1

Sir,

With reference to the exchange of letters between the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Economic Community on trade in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector, signed on 28 April 1981, and to the discussions which have taken place between the two Parties in accordance with point 14 thereof, I have the honour to inform you that for the duration of that Agreement the Government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia will continue to ensure that the marketing of Yugoslav products within the Community will be conducted in such a manner as to avoid any change in the trends of traditional trade flows to the particular market areas considered as sensitive.

In particular, the competent authorities of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia will ensure that exports to France and Ireland will be limited each year as follows:

- France: 50 tonnes, carcase weight equivalent,

- Ireland: nil.

I should be obliged if you would kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter.

Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

For the Federal Executive Council

of the Assembly of the Socialist

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
