 ---pagebreak---                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 of 18 December 1989 established
arrangements for economic aid to Hungary and Poland (PHARE).
On 17 September 1990 this aid was extended to other countries of
Central and Eastern Europe, namely Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania
and Yugoslavia. With their independence, Croatia and Slovenia cease
to be eligible for PHARE aid to Yugoslavia. In order for them to
continue receiving aid, it is necessary to amend Regulation
(EEC) No 3906/89 by inserting Croatia and Slovenia in the list of
countries annexed to that Regulation.
The proposed Regulation does not affect the overall amount available
for the implementation of the PHARE programme.
                                                                     2.

to include Yugoslavia,
