Proposal for a Council Regulation adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Poland  /* COM/2000/0896 final - ACC 2001/0002 */  

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Poland(presented by the Commission)EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMUnlike the Adaptation Protocols with other CEEC countries, the initialled Protocol adapting the Europe Agreement with Poland has yet to enter into force. Given the current progress of the procedure for formally adopting the Protocol with Poland, it is unlikely to be in application on 1 January 2001.The purpose of this proposal is therefore to renew until the end of the year 2001 the autonomous measures, which the European Union is applying in respect of imports of processed agricultural products originating in Poland.The granted concessions, subject to reciprocal arrangements on the part of the other party, will continue to be applied on an autonomous basis for Poland.Should the Protocol enter into force during the year 2001, the concessions provided for therein will replace the measures laid down in the annex to the proposal for a Regulation as from the date of application of the Adaptation Protocol.2001/0002 (ACC)Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in PolandTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 377/2000 [1] was adopted pending the entry into force of the Adaptation Protocols, and in particular the part concerning the respective Protocol 3, of the Europe Agreements concluded with countries of Central and Eastern Europe.[1]  Council Regulation (EC) No 377/2000 of 14 February 2000 adopting autonomous and transitional measures for Europe Agreements with Poland and Bulgaria in certain processed agricultural products (OJ L 47, 19.2.2000, p.4).(2) The procedure for formal adoption of the Adaptation Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement with Poland may not be completed in time for it to enter into force on 1 January 2001.
