                                                      Z
This proposed regulation aims to extend the temporary
suspension of the Common Customs Tariff duties on imports
of certain mixtures of residues of thé maize starch
industry and of residues from the extraction of maize
germ oil obtained by wet milling.
This regulation, if adopted, is the follow-up of the
Regulation (EEC) No 3799/91 and Regulation (EEC) No
2420/92 which suspended the duties on such products.
Due to the fact that a solution has not yet been found
for the dispute between the United States and Community
authorities the temporary suspension of the duties has to
be extended to 31 December 1992.
