                               COMMON POSITION
defined by the Council on the basis of Article J.2 of the Treaty on European Union
    with regard to the extension of the suspension of certain restrictions on trade
         with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)
                                    Proposal for a
                           COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
     amending Regulation (EC) No 2472/94 suspending certain elements of the
      embargo on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)
                           (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak--- EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The present proposals are made on the assumption that the Security Council might decide
to extend the suspension of certain elements of the embargo on the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) after 18 September 1995 in the same manner as it
did by its Resolution 1003 (1995).
By making the proposals the Commission has no intention whatsoever to prejudge the
decision of the Security Council, but it intends to enable the Council to adopt on time the
Regulation which will be needed for the implementation of the possible Security Council
decision. A timely adoption by the Council of the present proposals would avoid need for
a retroactive application with its well known consequences.
If the Security Council would decide not to extend the said suspension, the proposal of
the Commisison has to be considered withdrawn.
