                                         Brussels, 25 February 1992
                          Proposal for a
                     COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
    withdrawing Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia from the

 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
        As from the entry into force of the interim agreement on trade
and   trade related   measures   concluded   by  the   Community  with,
respectively, Hungary, Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal
Republic, the Community's generalized preferences scheme will no longer
apply to these countries. Therefore it is appropriate to withdraw
these countries from the lists of beneficiaries as from the date of
entry into force of the aforementioned agreements, that is on 1 March
1992.
        Such is the purpose  of this proposal for a Council regulation.

                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
              withdrawing Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia
             from the lists of beneficiaries of the Community
           generalized preferences scheme as from 1 March 1992
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPPEAN COMMUNITIES :
Having   regard   to the Treaty establishing      the European    Economi
Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par IiamentC),
Whereas Council Regulations (EEC) No 3831/90, (EEC) No 3832/90 and
(EEC) No 3833/90 ( 2), extended by Regulation (EEC) No 3587/91<3>
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3862/91<4> provide for the Community
generalized tariff preferences scheme to be applied to certain products
originating in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3834/90<5> extended by Regulation
(EEC) No 3588/9l( 6 ' provides for a reduction of the levy applicable
to certain agricultural products originating in particular in Hungary,
Poland and Czechoslovakia;
Whereas the interim agreements on trade and trade related matters^ 7 )
concluded by the Community, respectively, with the Republic of Hungary,
the Republic of Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic will
enter into force on 1 March 1992;
Whereas as the Community generalized tariff preferences will no longer
apply to these countries as from that date, these countries should
therefore be withdrawn from the lists of beneficiaries and the volume
of the fixed amounts within which a reduced levy is applied should be
adapted,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
