Explanatory memorandum 
Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 545/92 of 3 February 1992 
concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the Community of 
products originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and 
Slovenia and the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as last amended by Council 
Regulation (EEC) No 1433/92 of 1 June 1992, repealed Regulation (EEC) 
No 3567/91. 
However, a reference to the legal basis for amending the rules of origin 
established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 343/92 was omitted from 
Regulation No 545/92. The legal basis was set out in Article 5 of 
Regulation No 3567/91 and should have been included in Regulation 
No 545/92. 
Regulation No 545/92 must therefore be amended to include the text of 
Article 5 of Regulation No 3567/91, which will be done by adding an 
Article 10a after Article 10.
