                                Proposal for a
                      COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
amending Regulation (EC) 1416/95 establishing certain concessions in the form of
  Community tariff quotas in 1995 for certain processed agricultural products

 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                                Explanatory memorandum
   Pursuant to Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the Act of Accession, Austria, Finland and
   Switzerland must apply, with effect from 1 January 1995, the provisions of the preferential
   agreements concluded by the Community with certain third countries (Switzerland and
   Norway), it being understood that all the amendments required as a result of enlargement
   will be the subject of additional protocols to be negotiated with the third countries in
   question.
   However, the above Articles stipulate that if the protocols are not concluded by
   1 January 1995, the Community must take the necessary steps to regulate the situation.
   It is therefore necessary to apply autonomous transitional measures so as to take account
   of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products which existed between the
   new Member States and the third countries in question.
   These measures were adopted by the Council (Regulation (EC) No 1416/95) subject to the
   express condition that the third countries concerned also take reciprocal autonomous
   measures.
3. As it is not possible to conclude an additional protocol before I January 1996, it will be
   necessary to extend the measures adopted for 1995 to cover 1996.
                                                                                           t
