                                  Proposal for a
                            COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
            opening and providing for the administration of quotas
              for certain processed agricultural products originating
                                    in Hungary
                         (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDU I
1. The European Agreement between the European Communities and their Member
   States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part, contains
   tariff and other concessions subject to quantitative limits in the form of quota
   ceilings listed inter alia in Protocol 3 to the Agreement.
2. The measures established in Protocol 3 concerning trade between Hungary and the
   Community in certain processed agricultural products not covered by Annex II of
   the EEC Treaty for 1993 were applied by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3918/92
   opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and
   ceilings for certain agricultural and industrial products and establishing a reduced
   variable component for certain processed agricultural products originating in
   Hungary, Poland, and the territory of the former Czech and Slovak Federal
   Republic (CSFR), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2232/93.
3. This amendment extended application of Council Regulation (EEC) NO 3918/92
   until 31 December 1994 for certain products; consequently, arrangements must be
   made for a regulation opening and providing for the administration of the planned
   concessions as of 1 January 1995.

                 opening and providing for the administration of quotas'
          for certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary
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 European Agreement between the European Communities and their Member
States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part, came into force
on 1 February 1994;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade
arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural
products replaced the designation "variable components" by "agricultural components";
and whereas Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 establishes the procedure for
adopting the detailed rules for determining and managing reductions in the agricultural
component of the charge where provided for by a preferential agreement;
Whereas Protocol 3 to the European Agreement provides for reductions in the duties, and
in particular the fixed component of the charge, applied to goods listed in Table 1 of
Annex II to the said Protocol within the limits of quotas established in Table 1 of Annex I
to this Protocol; whereas it is necessary to specify the fixed components and the rules for
managing the quotas concerned which are to apply as of 1995;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION
                                          Article 1
        As of 1 January 1995 goods originating in Hungary which are listed in the Annex
        to this Regulation shall be subject to tariff reductions within the limits of the tariff
        quotas and under the conditions set out in this Annex.
        For the purposes of this Regulation, "originating goods" means goods meeting the
        conditions established by Protocol 4 to the European Agreement.

 1.      The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission,
         which may take all appropriate measures in order to ensure efficient administration
         thereof.
2.       Where an importer declares a product covered by this Regulation for free
         circulation in a Member State and applies to take advantage of the preferential
         arrangements, and that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the
         Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount
         corresponding to its requirements from the quota volume.
         Requests for drawings, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations,
         must be sent to the Commission without delay.
         The drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of
         acceptance of the declaration for free circulation by the customs authorities of the
         Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
3.       If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them to the
         corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.
4.       If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota
         volume, the balance shall be allocated on a, pro rate basis. The Commission shall
         inform the Member States of the drawings made.
