EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The  EU-Mexico  Joint  Council  Decision  3/2004  includes  two  Community  tariff  quotas  that 
take into account traditional trade between Mexico and the New Member States following the 
recent EU enlargement. The introduction of the specific calendar provisions for the entry into 
force  of  those  quotas  as  agreed  during  the  negotiations  was  at  the  moment  of  drafting  this 
Decision unfortunately omitted. Thus a corrigendum is necessary.
