COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 06.09.1995 
COM(95) 413 final 
95/0137 (ACC) 
Amended proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION TEO 
amending Regulation (EEC) 
No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and the Common Customs 
Tariff 
(presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 a (2) 
of the EC-Treaty) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Subject: Proposal for an amendment to proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) No 
...795 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical 
nomenclature and the Common Customs Tariff 
On 8 June the Commission adopted at the same time: 
Regulation (EC) No 1305/95 adopting certain measures relating to the 
entry price arrangements applicable to cucumbers for processing 
and 
the abovementioned proposal for a Council Regulation. 
The purpose of both texts was to reduce, in the first case on a transitional basis, in the 
second case definitively, the entry prices applicable to imports of cucumbers for 
processing. 
It now seems that the presentation of the Annex, which is identical in both texts, is 
ambiguous and may be misleading with regard to the undertakings the Community has 
made. 
This proposal for an amendment to the Commission proposal for a Council Regulation, 
pursuant to Article 189a (2) of the Treaty, alters the Annex concerned, as has been done 
for the Annex to Regulation (EC) 1305/95, so that it faithfully reflects the undertakings 
made by the Community without changing the economic content of the initial proposal. 
Amended proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EO 
amending Regulation (EEC) 
No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and the Common Customs 
Tariff 
The Annex to document COM (95) 242 final is hereby replaced by the following:
