EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. 

Council  Regulations  (EC) No 3466/93 of  10 December  1993<1), 3672/93 
of 22 December  1993( 2) and  1502/94 of 27 June 1994<3> opened a 
series of tariff quotas for the year  1994, including one for 
polyvinylpyrrolidone (order No 09.2731), one for mushrooms  (order No 
09.2849), one for chrome steel  frames (order No 09.2865) and one for 
anhydride (order No 09.2883).

2. 

The grounds for  increasing  the volume of  these quotas were considered 
by the Ad Hoc Group on Economic Tariff Problems on 9 September 1994. 

The Commission proposes that  these quotas be  increased respectively 
by 50 tonnes (quota n' 09.2731),  185 tonnes  (quota n' 09.2849), 
200 000 pieces (quota n' 09.2865) and  1000 tonnes  (quota n' 09.2883). 
For  the quota n' 09.2865 the period of validity will be prolonged by 
6 months  in order  to allow  its full utilisation. 

Such  is the purpose of this proposal.

amending Regulations (EC) No 3466/93 opening and providing 
for the administration of Community tariff quotas for 
certain agricultural and industrial products (first series 1994), 
(EC) No 3672/93 opening and providing for the administrât ion of Commun,ty

(EC) 1502/94 opening and providing for the administration of Community

(third series 1994) 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in 
particular Article 28 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas Council Regulations (EC) No 3466/930), 3672/93<2) and 
1502/94(3) opened for 1994, Community tariff quotas for certain products, 
and  in particular polyvinylpyrrolidone (order No 09.2731), mushrooms of 
the species "Auricularia polytricha" steamed or boiled, for the 
manufacture of prepared meals (order No 09.2849), molybdenum chrome steel 
frames for the manufacture of cathode raytubes 736,6 mm (+/- 1,0 mm) (29 
inches) (order No 09.2865) and Benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid 1,2-
anhydride (order No 09.2883). 

Whereas current economic data suggests that Community demand for non-
Community  imports of the products in question could  in the course of the 
year exceed the volumes laid down in the above Regulation; whereas the 
volumes of the quotas above mentioned should therefore be increased by the 
amounts indicated  in Article 1 below and the period of validity for the 
quotas with order No 09.2865 should be prolonged by 6 months; 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

1(1) of Council Regulations (EC) No 3466/93, 3672/93 and 1502/94 are
