  At its plenary session on 29 October 1993, the European Parliament gave its opinion
  on a proposal for a Council Regulation laying down the trade arrangements applicable
  to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products.
v
  [COM (93) 135 of 15.04.1993]1.
  The Commission has decided , in accordance with Article 189A(2) of the EC Treaty,
  to amend its proposal in order to incorporate into the text one of the two amendments
  adopted by the Parliament.
  The amendment which has been accepted in principle by the Commission provides that
  in cases where preferential agreements have been concluded Article 6 of the proposed
  regulation may only apply if these agreements satisfy the requirements of the
  Community legislation for processed agricultural products. In view of the far reaching
  concessions offered under the provisions of Article 6 the Commission considers it
  politically desirable to link its application to the respect of the Community legislation.
  In contrast, the second amendment adopted by the Parliament cannot be accepted by
  the Commission. This amendment implies a procedure for decision-taking by means of
  Management Committee which is contrary to the procedures followed by all the
  Management Committees established for the markets in agricultural products.
  The amendment to the proposal as accepted by the Commission has no direct financial
  impact on the Community budget.
