Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EC) 

opening and providing for the administration of quotas 

for certain processed agricultural products originating 
in Hungary 

(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDU  I 

1. 

2. 

The European Agreement between the European  Communities and  their Member 
States,  of the  one part,  and the Republic  of Hungary,  of the  other  part,  contains 
tariff  and  other  concessions  subject  to  quantitative  limits  in  the  form  of  quota 
ceilings listed inter alia in Protocol 3 to the Agreement. 

The measures established in Protocol 3 concerning trade between Hungary and the 
Community in certain processed  agricultural products not covered by Annex II of 
the EEC Treaty for  1993 were applied by Council Regulation (EEC) No 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) No 2232/93. 

3. 

This  amendment  extended  application  of  Council  Regulation (EEC) NO 3918/92 
until 31 December  1994 for certain products;  consequently, arrangements must be 
made for a regulation opening and providing for the administration  of the planned 
concessions as of 1 January 1995. 

Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION 

( E C) 

opening and providing for the administration of quotas' 
for certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community,  and  in  particular 
Article 113 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas the European Agreement between the European Communities and their Member 
States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part,  came into  force 
on 1 February 1994; 

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade 
arrangements  applicable  to  certain  goods  resulting  from  the  processing  of  agricultural 
products  replaced  the designation  "variable components" by "agricultural  components"; 
and  whereas  Article 7(2)  of Regulation  (EC) No 3448/93  establishes  the  procedure  for 
adopting the  detailed  rules  for  determining  and  managing  reductions  in  the  agricultural 
component of the charge where provided for by a preferential agreement; 

Whereas Protocol 3 to the European Agreement provides for reductions in the duties, and 
in  particular  the  fixed  component  of  the  charge,  applied  to  goods  listed  in  Table 1 of 
Annex II to the said Protocol within the limits of quotas established in Table  1 of Annex I 
to this Protocol;  whereas it is necessary to specify the fixed components and the rules for 
managing the quotas concerned which are to apply as of 1995; 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION 

Article 1 

As of 1 January  1995 goods originating in Hungary which are listed in the Annex 
to this Regulation shall be subject to tariff reductions within the limits of the tariff 
quotas and under the conditions set out in this Annex. 

For the purposes of this Regulation, "originating goods" means goods meeting the 
conditions established by Protocol 4 to the European Agreement. 

OJNoL 347, 31.12.1993, p. 2. 
OJNoL 318, 20.12.1993, p. 18. 

Article 2 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, 
which may take all appropriate measures in order to ensure efficient  administration 
thereof. 

Where  an  importer  declares  a  product  covered  by  this  Regulation  for  free 
circulation  in  a  Member  State  and  applies  to  take  advantage  of  the  preferential 
arrangements,  and  that  declaration  is  accepted  by  the  customs  authorities,  the 
Member  State  concerned  shall,  by  notifying  the  Commission,  draw  an  amount 
corresponding to its requirements from the quota volume. 

Requests for  drawings, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, 
must be sent to the Commission without delay. 

The  drawings  shall  be  granted  by  the  Commission  by  reference  to  the  date  of 
acceptance of the declaration for free circulation by the customs authorities of the 
Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits. 

If a Member  State does not use the quantities drawn,  it  shall return  them to  the 
corresponding quota volume as soon as possible. 

If  the  quantities  requested  are  greater  than  the  available  balance  of  the  quota 
volume, the balance shall be allocated on a, pro  rate basis.  The Commission shall 
inform the Member States of the drawings made. 

Arttcle3 

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of 
the European Communities. 

It shall apply from 1 January 1995. 

This  Regulation  shall  be  binding  in  its  entirety  and directly  appUcable  in  all  Member 

Statei.
