COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
COM(94) 598 final 
Brussels, 09.12.1994 
94/0310 (ACC) 
Proposal for a 
ÇQUNÇII REGULATION (EC) 
opening and administering certain Community tariff quotas in 1995 
for certain agricultural products and for beer 
(presented by the Commission) 

Explanatory Memorandum 
Pursuant to Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the Act of Accession, 
Austria, Finland and Sweden must apply, with effect from 
1 January 1995, the provisions of the preferential agreements 
concluded by the Community with certain third countries(Bulgaria, 
the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Poland and 
Romania), it being understood that all the amendments required as 
a result of the enlargement will be the subject of additional 
protocols to be negotiated with the 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 on accession. 
In view of the fact that because of technical difficulties and 
tight deadlines the protocols will not now enter into force on 
1 January 1995, it is vital to apply autonomous transitional 
measures so as to take account of the agricultural trade 
arrangements which existed between the new Member States and the 
third countries in question. 
This proposal is aimed at taking into account conventional 
preferential tariff quotas. At the earliest possible opportunity 
the Commission will put forward a proposal which is intended also 
to cover traditional trade flows not covered by those quotas. 
However, such measures, which should not prejudge the result of 
the exploratory discussions being held with a view to the 
conclusion of the protocols, will only be adopted on the express 
condition that the third countries concerned take reciprocal 
autonomous measures too. As far as the measures themselves are 
concerned, they will be restricted to a duration of one year and 
will in principle take the form of new Community tariff quotas 
where no equivalent concession exists in the preferential 
agreements with the Community of 12 or, otherwise, will be 
limited to a simple increase in existing tariff quotas. 
Quotas granted by the new Member States which are for less than 
100 tonnes or 100 head will be ignored. 
Where the Community is concerned, the list of the measures will 
be contained in Annex I (products managed on the basis of import 
licences) and Annex II (products managed via the Customs Code 
Committee). 
The Community is also obliged to open negotiations under Article 
XXIV(6) of the GATT to take account of the adoption by the new 
Member States of the Common Customs Tariff. Here, too, it will be 
impossible to complete them by 1 January 1995 so autonomous 
transitory measures should be provided for in anticipation of the 
result of the negotiations under Article XXIV(6). This, too, will 
involve introducing autonomous Community tariff quotas 
corresponding to the imports of the new Member States under 
conventional tariff quotas. Since the results of the Uruguay Round 
negotiations will not apply to the products concerned until 
1 July 1995 those quotas should only be opened for 6 months 
without prejudice to the results of the negotiations opened under 
Article XXIV(6) of the GATT. 
Annex III contains a list of those quotas. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (ECi 
opening and administering certain Community tariff quotas in 1995 
for certain agricultural products and for beer 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in 
particular Article 113 thereof, 
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, under the Europe Agreements, the interim agreements and the 
free trade agreements between the European Economic Community of the 
one part, and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, 
Hungary, Poland and Romania of the other part (hereinafter called 
"third countries"), concessions regarding certain agricultural products 
have been granted to most of those countries; 
Whereas, as a result of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, 
those concessions should be adjusted to take into account the 
arrangements for trade in agricultural products which existed between 
Austria, Finland and Sweden of the one part, and Bulgaria, the Czech 
Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania of the other 
part; 
Whereas to that end exploratory talks are in progress with those third 
countries with a view to the conclusion of additional protocols to the 
above-mentioned agreements; 
Whereas, however, because of excessively tight deadlines, the 
additional protocols cannot enter into force on 1 January 1995; 
Whereas in these circumstances and pursuant to Articles 76, 102 and 128 
of the Act of Accession, the Commission must adopt the measures 
required to remedy the situation; whereas, given the very short time 
remaining before the accession of the new Member States, those measures 
must take the form of autonomous Community tariff quotas covering the 
conventional preferential tariff quotas applied by Austria, Finland and 
Sweden; 
Whereas the new Member States must apply the import arrangements 
applicable in the Community with effect from 1 January 1995; 
Whereas Austria has undertaken under the GATT to open tariff quotas for 
certain products; whereas those undertakings must be renegotiated as a 
result of the accession of Austria to the Community; 
Whereas, however, maintenance of the tariff quotas resulting from the 
undertakings should be guaranteed temporarily; whereas, therefore, it 
is necessary to open autonomous Community tariff quotas taking account 
of the undertakings, without prejudice to the results of negotiations 
under the GATT following the accession of the new Member States, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Without prejudice to the import arrangements in the Community 
applicable to certain agricultural products pursuant to agreements 
concluded between the Community and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the 
Slovak Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania, existing Community tariff

shall be opened autonomously in accordance with Annexes I and II to

the one part, and the Czech Republic, of the other part.

1 Assuming that the quantities concerned have already been imported by Member States of the enlarged Union. They are therefore potential 
and maximum losses of levy. 
B. Loss of customs duties (12 months) 
p.m. 
Given that the impact of reductions in duties depends on the value of the quantities imported, in

In addition, these losses will have to be covered by estimates of levy losses, taking account of the 
maximum assumptions used for the latter.
