                              Proposal for a
                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
                                 AMENDING
                  REGULATION(EEC) No 3917/92 RELATIVE TO THE
             GENERALIZED SCHEME OF PREFERENCES APPLICABLE IN 1993
                       (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                            fXPI AMATORY MEMORANDUM
The regulations applying generalized tariff preferences for certain
goods originating in developing countries for 1991(^ were last
extended in 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92 of 21 December
1992<2> .
It does not appear desirable to extend the present scheme, again
without change, for 1994. However, it is fitting to ensure that the
proposal for a 1994 scheme follows the progress in the Uruguay Round
negotiations up to the deadline of 15 December.
It would seem therefore appropriate to extend the application of
Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92 for a further three months in order to
allow the benefiting countries and economic operators to continue their
commercial operations.
The Commission has already stated that the scheme to be proposed to the
Council for its implementation on 1 April 1994 will envisage the
allocation of preferential amounts calculated on an annual basis and
not reduced pro rata for the nine remaining months.
Such are the objectives of this proposal for a regulation which t ho
Commission invites the Council to adopt as soon as possible.
