COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0M(92) 59 final 
Brussels, 24 February 1992 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 206/91 concerning the 
exclusion of milk products from inward processing arrangements 
and of recourse to certain usual forms of handling 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 206/91 provides for exemptions from the exclusion of 
milk products, in particular for unmodified whey, from inward processing 
arrangements. A limited enlargement of the CN codes, defining the eligible 
compensating products, in order to include certain modified wheys as well, will 
make it possible to extend the range of ingredients which the Community food 
industry needs for its exports. 
It is necessary to ensure the normal and uninterrupted operation of the inward 
processing arrangements applicable under Regulation (EEC) No 206/91 before 
1 January 1992 and to avoid any uncertainty about the continuation of these 
arrangements arising from the technical adjustments carried out on that date by 
Regulation (EEC) No 252/92 to certain CN codes listed in Article 1(2) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 206/91.

compensating products resulting from the processing of unmodified whey imported 
under inward processing arrangements should be satisfied;

inward processing arrangements applicable under Regulation (EEC) No 2 06/91 before
