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.
