Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
amending Regulation (EC) 1416/95 establishing certain concessions in the form of 
Community tariff quotas in 1995 for certain processed agricultural products 
(presented by the Commission) 

Explanatory memorandum 
Pursuant to Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the Act of Accession, Austria, Finland and 
Switzerland must apply, with effect from 1 January 1995, the provisions of the preferential 
agreements concluded by the Community with certain third countries (Switzerland and 
Norway), it being understood that all the amendments required as a result of enlargement 
will be the subject of additional protocols to be negotiated with the third countries in 
question. 
However, the above Articles stipulate that if the protocols are not concluded by 
1 January 1995, the Community must take the necessary steps to regulate the situation. 
It is therefore necessary to apply autonomous transitional measures so as to take account 
of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products which existed between the 
new Member States and the third countries in question. 
These measures were adopted by the Council (Regulation (EC) No 1416/95) subject to the 
express condition that the third countries concerned also take reciprocal autonomous 
measures. 
3. As it is not possible to conclude an additional protocol before I January 1996, it will be 
necessary to extend the measures adopted for 1995 to cover 1996.
