pertoc* of two years by Decision No 1/91 of 19 December 1991 <2> and 
Decision No 1/94 of 14 February 1994 (3) 

Cyprus has requested the prolongation of this last derogation and a draft 
decision of the  EC-Cyprus Association Council granting to Cyprus a 
prolongation of the said derogation has been submitted to the Commission 
for approval. 

The Commission  is charged with the management of the quantitative  limits 
fixed  In the decision  In question. 

To this end It is proposed to the Council to adopt a draft regulation on 
the Implementing methods for the said decision.
