Explanatory Memorandum 
Council Regulation (EC) No. 3379/94 of 22 December 1994 opened in Article 2 
autonomous tariff quotas for a number of products listed in Annex III of the

to accession. The quotas were opened for the period 1 January to 3 0 June 
1995 and are subject to the ongoing negotiations under GATT Article XXIV 
(enlargement). 
Since these negotiations are not yet concluded it is proposed to extend the 
application of the autonomous tariff quotas until 31 December 1995.
