                              Proposal for a
                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
     opening and providing for the administration of Community
   tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in
           Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia,
         Romania and Bulgaria and establishing the detailed
          provisions for adapting these quotas (1994/1997)
                      (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 1.  The Europe Agreements concluded by the Community on 16 December 1991
     with Poland and Hungary, which entered into force on 1 February 1994,
     and the Interim Agreements concluded by the Community with the former
     Czech and Slovak Federal Republic on 16 December 1991, with Romania on
     1 February 1993 and with Bulgaria on 8 March 1993, which entered into
     force on 1 March 1992, 1 May 1993 and 31 December 1993 respectively,
     provide that from their entry into force, customs duties levied on
      imports into the Community of certain agricultural products listed in
     Annexes I, II and III to this proposal are to be reduced.    These
     advantages are to be granted within the limits of tariff quotas.
2.   In the context of the decision taken at the Copenhagen European
     Council meeting (21 and 22 June 1993) regarding improved access to the
     Community market, it was agreed to bring forward application of the
     said tariff measures by six months.    Accordingly, the tariff quotas
     laid down for the fourth year of application (Hungary, Poland and the
     former CSFR) or the third year of application (Romania and Bulgaria)
    of the abovementioned Europe/Interim Agreements should be opened on
     1 July 1994.
3.  The measures are implemented and managed by annual Council
    regulations.    Renewing the regulations does not normally involve
    amendments of any substance.    The annual adaptations only affect the
    quota volumes and the Combined Nomenclature or TARIC codes.     However,
    the procedures for adopting proposals by the Commission and
    regulations by the Council are very lengthy.     It is becoming
     increasingly difficult to meet the deadlines fixed (Estoril
    resolution) for publication of such measures in the Official Journal.
    Delays disrupt management of tariff quotas both at Commission level
    and in the Member States.    The national customs authorities are
    frequently obliged to resort to the system of deposits on duties
    pending publication of the measures.
    In order to simplify and rationalize implementation of the measures
    enacted by the European agreements and the related procedures, it
    would be advisable to group all the provisions relating to tariff
    quotas together in a single regulation applicable for an indeterminate
 ---pagebreak---       period, except for the annexes for which periodic adaptations are
      required.
 4.   Administration of the tariff quotas will   involve pooling the entire
      amount of the individual quotas, to which all the Member States will
      have access in accordance with Article 2 of the proposed Regulation
      and granting it on a first come first served basis.
5.    Provision has been made for the Commission, with the Council's
     authorization, to carry out the technical adaptations to the
     Regulation and its annexes by way of regulation.     The authorization
     concerns the adaptations arising from changes in the combined
     nomenclature and in TARIC codes, as well as the adaptions which may be
     required to put into effect any new agreements or protocols concluded
     by the Council.    The Commission will be assisted  in this task by the
     Customs Code Committee.    The Committee's opinions will be obtained
     under the procedure laid down at Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No
     2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common
     Customs Tar iff.
6.   To sum up, the innovative features of this draft Regulation are as
     f o 11 ows -.
     -    coverage of several years
     -    delegation of powers to the Commission for the technical
          adaptations of the Regulation and its annexes,
     -    opinion of the Customs Code Committee
This is the purpose of the attached proposal
 ---pagebreak---                                  Proposal for a
                            COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
          opening and providing for the administration of Community
         tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating
               in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia,
              Romania and Bulgaria and establishing the detailed
               provisions for adapting these quotas (1994/1997)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in
particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Europe Agreements between the European Economic Community, the
European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community,
of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary and the Republic of Poland, of
the other part, were signed on 16 December 1991 and entered into force on
1 February 1994; whereas Interim Agreements on trade and trade-related
measures have been applied between the Community and the two countries
concerned from 1 March 1992 pending the entry into force of the Europe
Agreements;CM 2 )    whereas the Europe Agreements between the European
Economic Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European
Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal
Republic (CSFR), Romania and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part,
were signed on 16 December 1991, 1 February 1993 and 8 March 1993
respect ively;
(1) OJ No L 114, 30.4.1992, p. 2.
(2) OJ No L 116, 30.4.1992, p. 2.
 ---pagebreak---                                                                             5"
 Whereas, pending the entry into force of the said three Agreements, the
 Community has concluded Interim Agreements on trade and trade-related
measures with those countries, which were signed on the same day and which
entered into force, respectively, on 1 March 1992, 1 May 1993 and
 31 December 1993;< 1 M2)(3)
Whereas the Additional Protocols to the said Agreements signed with the
five countries in question in the light of the conclusions of the
Copenhagen summit of 21 and 22 June 1993 are intended to improve access to
the Community market for products originating in those
countries;(4M5)(6)(7)(8)     whereas, in the agriculture sector, this
 is to be achieved by bringing forward the tariff concessions due to be
opened on 1 January of each year-,   whereas, therefore, it is necessary to
open the tariff quotas granted to the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic
(Annex XII lb of the Interim Agreement for products falling within tariff
heading 1210), Poland (Annex Xc of the Europe Agreement) and Hungary
(Annex Xc of the Europe Agreement) in respect of the fourth year of
application, and the tariff quotas granted to Romania (Annex XI lb of the
 Interim Agreement) and Bulgaria (Annex XII lb of the Interim Agreement) in
respect of the third year of application;
Whereas the Additional Protocols concluded between the European Economic
Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and
the Czech Republic and Slovakia, of the other part, initialled in Brussels
on 18 July 1993, provide inter alia for the tariff quotas and ceilings
granted by the Community to the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic
to be shared between the successor states to the former Czech and Slovak
Federal Republic as from 1 January 1994;

(8)   OJ No L 25 , 29.1.1994, p. 26
 ---pagebreak---  Whereas the Agreements in question provide through a transitional period
 ending on 30 June 1996 or 30 June 1997 the opening of tariff quotas;
 whereas the Agreements also set out the conditions required for granting
 the tariff advantages in the context of the said tariff quotas; whereas,
 therefore, in the interests of rationalizing implementation of the measures
 concerned, the provisions currently contained in the various regulations
 covering each of the abovementioned countries should be grouped together in
 a single regulation, applicable for a specific period, by including in
 Annexes I, M and III to this Regulation the tariff quotas to be opened for
 the periods 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995, 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996 and
 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997;
Whereas tariff quotas may not be carried over from one period to the next;
Whereas the agreements concerned are of determinate duration; whereas the
agreements have already established the annual rates of increase of the
 relevant quota volumes; whereas they also set out the conditions required
 for granting tariff advantages in the context of the said tariff quotas;
whereas, therefore, in the interests of rationalizing implementation of the
measures concerned, the provisions relating to tariff quotas currently
 included in various regulations covering each of the abovementioned
countries for agricultural products should be grouped together in a single
regulation, applicable for a determinate period;
Whereas the decision to open Community tariff quotas should be taken by the
Community in the execution of its international obligations in the case of
the products listed in Annexes I, II and III hereto; whereas it is
necessary, in particular, to ensure that all Community importers have equal
and continuous access to the said quotas and that the rates laid down for
the quotas apply continuously to all imports of the products concerned into
all Member States until the quotas have been used up;   whereas, to ensure
the efficiency of the common administration of the quotas, there is no
reason why the Member States should not be authorized to draw from the
quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports;
whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation
between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in
particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and
inform the Member States accordingly;
 ---pagebreak---                                                                             /
Whereas amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes and
adaptations of quota volumes and rates arising from decisions of the
Council or Commission do not involve changes of substance; whereas, in the
interests of simplicity, provision should be made for the Commission to
make the necessary amendments and technical adaptations to the annexes of
this Regulation after first having obtained the opinion of the Customs Code
Committee;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by
the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of
these quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
Whereas the application of this regulation must not prejudiced by the
amendment of agreements existing between the Community and these countries,
insofar as any amendments thus agreed provide details of the products
eligible for the benefit of tariff quotas, their volumes, rates of tariff
quotas, their volumes, rates of duty and quota periods, and in some cases
the respective conditions for granting that benefit; whereas provision
should therefore be made for the Commission to make corresponding
amendments to the provisions and annexes of this regulation, after
obtaining an opinion from the Customs Code Committee;
