Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
amending Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 opening and 
providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and ceilings 
for certain agricultural and industrial products and establishing a reduced 
variable component for certain processed agricultural products originating 
in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former Czech and Slovak Federal 
Republic (CSFR), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2232/93 
(presented by the Commission) 
3-jt", 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The interim Agreement between the European Economic Community, the 
European Coal and Steel Community and the Hungarian Republic, which came 
into force on 1 March 1992, contained tariff and other concessions subject to 
quantitative limits in the form of quotas ceilings listed inter alia in the Protocol 3 
to the Agreement. 
2. The measures established on Protocol 3 to 1993 were applied by the Council 
Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 opening and providing for the administration of 
Community tariff quotas and ceilings for certain agricultural and industrial products 
and establishing a reduced variable component for certain processed agricultural 
products originating in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former Czech and 
Slovak Federal Republic (CSFR), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) N° 
2232/93. 
3. This last amendment to certain goods has extended the application of the Council 
Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 in 1994, consequently its annex II must be amended 
in a way to take account of the reductions of the fixed component and the quotas 
provided for 1994 by the Protocol 3 to the Interim Agreement. The tariff quotas 
shall be administered according to the rules laid down in the said Regulation.
