Subsequent to requests made by various Member States, the Services of the Commission
have examined, in conjunction with the Government experts concerned, the question of
opening in 1996 tariff quotas for various products.
Following this examination, which took place during the "Economic Tariff Questions" group
meetings, it has been determined that the opening and increase of tariff quotas for industrial
and fishery products could have the agreement of the Member States without disturbing the
markets for such products,
