AGREEMENT

in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco on the import into the Community of preserved fruit salads originating in Morocco

Sir,
With a view to implementing the 55 % reduction in applicable customs duties provided for in Article 20 of the Cooperation Agreement concluded between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, and following the clarifications exchanged concerning the conditions governing imports into the Community of preserved fruit salads falling within CN codes ex 2008 92 50, ex 2008 92 71 and ex 2008 92 79 and originating in Morocco, I have the honour to inform you that the Moroccan Government undertakes to take all necessary measures to ensure that the quantities supplied to the Community from 1 January to 31 December of each year do not exceed 100 tonnes.
To this end the Moroccan Government declares that all exports to the Community of the said products will be effected exclusively by exporters whose operations are controlled by the Moroccan Administration.
The guarantees relating to quantities will be met in accordance with the procedures agreed between the Moroccan Administration and the Directorate-General for Agriculture of the Commission of the European Communities.
By way of derogation from Article 20 of the Cooperation Agreement, this Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters shall remain in force until denounced by one of the Parties, which denunciation must be made before 30 September of each year.
I should be grateful if you would confirm the agreement of the Community with the foregoing.
Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
For the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco
