Explanatory memorandum 
According to Article 4 of Protocol 3 of the Europe Agreement, before 1 July 1994, 
Poland shall determine the agricultural component of the levy on the goods referred to in 
Annex III on the basis of the import duties applicable in 1994 to the basic agricultural 
products originating in the Community considered to have been used in the production of 
these goods. Elimination of the non-agricultural component of the levy must be completed 
by 1 January 1999 at the latest. Reduction of the agricultural component shall be 
determined by the Association Council on the basis of the concessions applicable to the 
basic products. 
In April, Poland has submitted to the Community a proposal providing for a timetable of 
reduction of the non-agricultural component from 1995 to 1999 which complies with the 
provisions of Protocol 3. This proposal has now to be endorsed by the Association 
Council. 
The Commission therefore requests the Council to adopt the attached proposal for a 
Council decision.
