                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. Annex 11 I to the Interim/Europe Agreement between the Community and
   Poland established Community tariff quotas and ceilings for a number of
    industrial and agricultural products imported into Member States from
   Poland.
   The quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 262/94,1 which
   modify for 1994 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3918/92 of
   28 December 1992.2
2. Following of the meeting of the EC-Poland Joint Committee on 24 and
   25 January the two parties agreed, in the form of an exchange of
    letters,3 to open an additional tariff quota for certain glassware of
   CN code 7013 99 90.   This decision followed a request from a Community
   firm that had concluded a joint venture agreement with a Polish company
   and wished to see normal competition restored on the Community import
   marlcet, particularly from South-East Asian suppliers benefiting from the
   system of generalized preferences.
3. A special tariff quota should therefore be opened for the products in
   question and Council Regulation (EC) No 262/94 amended to open and
   provide for the administration of tariff quotas and ceilings for certain
    industrial products covered by the Europe Agreement with Poland.
