hereinafter referred to as the ‘Europe Agreement’ and
approved by Decision 93/742/Euratom, ECSC, EC of the
Council and of
the Commission of 13 December
1993 (1), provides for tariff concessions for processed
agricultural products originating in Hungary. Protocol

should enter into force not later than 1 July 2003. On
the Community side this agreement lays down conces-
sions in the form of completed liberalisation of trade for
certain processed agricultural products and duty free
quotas for others. For imports outside of these quotas
the current provisions continue to apply.

The procedure for adopting a decision to amend the
Adaptation Protocol will not be completed in time for it

made to Hungary on an autonomous basis from 1 July
