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 agricultural products subject under the Fourth
ACP-EC Convention to a tariff reduction but not to a
tariff quota should be included in the scheme for the
benefit of least-developed countries by applying one of
the preferential rates of duty provided for in Article 2 of
Regulation (EC) No 1256/96, in line with the reduction
accorded by the Fourth ACP-EC Convention,

3

of Council Regulation

Whereas Article
(EC)
No 3281/94 of 19 December 1994 applying a four-year
scheme of generalised tariff preferences (1995 to 1998) in
respect of certain industrial products originating in devel-
oping countries (1) provides for more favourable tariff
treatment for the least-developed countries;

3

of Council Regulation

Whereas Article
(EC)
No 1256/96 of 20 June 1996 applying multiannual
schemes of generalised tariff preferences from 1 July 1996
to 30 June 1999 in respect of certain agricultural products
originating in developing countries (2) likewise provides
for more favourable tariff

Commission communication of 16 April 1997, adopted
conclusions calling for the implementation of the Singa-
