EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Subsequent to requests made by various Member States, the Services of the Commission

opening in 1996 tariff quotas for various products. 
Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic Tariff Questions" group 
meetings, it has been determined that the opening and increase of tariff quotas for industrial 
and fishery products could have the agreement of the Member States without disturbing the 
markets for such products,
