EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. Annex 11 I to the Interim/Europe Agreement between the Community and 
Poland established Community tariff quotas and ceilings for a number of 
industrial and agricultural products imported into Member States from 
Poland. 
The quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 262/94,1 which 
modify for 1994 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3918/92 of 
28 December 1992.2 
2. Following of the meeting of the EC-Poland Joint Committee on 24 and 
25 January the two parties agreed, in the form of an exchange of 
letters,3 to open an additional tariff quota for certain glassware of 
CN code 7013 99 90. This decision followed a request from a Community 
firm that had concluded a joint venture agreement with a Polish company 
and wished to see normal competition restored on the Community import 
marlcet, particularly from South-East Asian suppliers benefiting from the 
system of generalized preferences. 
3. A special tariff quota should therefore be opened for the products in 
question and Council Regulation (EC) No 262/94 amended to open and 
provide for the administration of tariff quotas and ceilings for certain 
industrial products covered by the Europe Agreement with Poland.
