                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.    By its Regulation (EEC) No 3412/92 of 23 November 1992 (1), the
      Council determined the autonomous Community policy for fishery
      products for 1993.
2.    This decision was taken under the condition that the agreement of the
      European Economic Space would be put into application starting on 1
      January 1993.
3.    Given that it was not possible to keep to this date, the Commission
      proposes :
      - to increase the amount of      one  of  the  quotas opened  by  the
        aforementioned Regulation and
      - to foresee the opening of tariff quotas at reduced duty for certain
        other products in such a way as to take account of the needs of the
        Community user industries.
This is the purpose of the attached proposal.

                      Council Regulation (EEC) No     /93
                                       of
             completing and modifying Regulation (EEC) No 3412/92
          opening and providing for the administration of autonomous
             Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products
                                     (1993)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
and in particular Article 28, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas by its Regulation (EEC) No 3412/92 (1) of 23 November 1992 the
Council partially suspended the customs duty applicable in 1993 to certain
fishery products, wlhtln the limit of Community tariff quotas; whereas this
measure seeks to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy Community user
industries, according to the sensitivety of the development of the
Community market.
Whereas a detailed study of the Community market of the products in
question conducted since then has made it appear necessary to increase the
amount of one of the quotas opened by the above-mentioned regulation and,
at the same time, to foresee the opening of tariff quotas at reduced rates
for other products.
