This proposal for a regulation concerns the prolongation,
until 30 June 1994, of the temporary suspension of the Common
Customs Tariff duty on imports of certain mixtures of residues
of the maize starch industry and of residues from the
extraction of maize germ oil obtained by wet milling.
This regulation, when adopted, will provide the follow-up to
Regulations (EEC) Nos 2420/92, 3535/92, 833/93 and 1993/93,
suspending duty on such products from 1 January 1992 to 3 0
September 1993.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2420/92 (1) suspended the Common
Customs Tariff duty on imports of certain mixtures of residues
of the maize starch industry and of residues from the
extraction of maize germ oil obtained by the wet milling
process, for the period from 1 January 1992 to 3 0 September
1993;
Whereas it is appropriate that the suspension of duties be
prolonged until 30 June 1994 ;
(1)   OJ No L 237, 20.8.1992, p. 14. Regulation as last amended
      by Regulation (EEC) No 1993/93 (OJ No L 182, 24.7.1993,
      p. 11).
                                                                <i

 ---pagebreak--- whereas a study is under way in order to determine the
feasibility of using a method of microscopic analysis for
determining the amount of residues from the extraction of
maize germ oil obtained by wet milling and residues from the
sifting of maize in residues of starch manufacture from maize;
whereas this study is expected to lead to an agreement by 31
December 1993; whereas it is appropriate to suspend the use of
the microscopic method for these purposes until a decision can
be reached with regard to this method,
