concerning the condition of accession and the adjustments      of the Treaties
applies to these products imported from the new Member States the

The United Kingdom Department of Trade has recjuested the Commission that
by virtue of artiole 33 paragraph 2 of the act concerning the Conditions
of Acoession and the Adjustments to the Treaties the Community preference
for the new Member States should be maintained and that therefore the
customs duties applied on the Community as originally constituted should
be totally suspended on these products imported from the new Member States .
The Commission considers that it is appropriate to give a favourable
response to this request and therefore is proposing to the Council the
tariff measure annexed hereto *
