                                          Proposal     for a
                                    COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
                    amending Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 opening and
               providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas and ceilings
              for certain agricultural and industrial products and establishing a reduced
             variable component for certain processed agricultural products originating

 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
     The interim Agreement between the European Economic Community, the
     European Coal and Steel Community and the Hungarian Republic, which came
     into force on 1 March 1992, contained tariff and other concessions subject to
     quantitative limits in the form of quotas ceilings listed inter alia in the Protocol 3
     to the Agreement.
2.  The measures established on Protocol 3 to 1993 were applied by the Council
    Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 opening and providing for the administration of
    Community tariff quotas and ceilings for certain agricultural and industrial products
    and establishing a reduced variable component for certain processed agricultural
    products originating in Hungary, Poland and the territory of the former Czech and
    Slovak Federal Republic (CSFR), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) N°
    2232/93.
 3. This last amendment to certain goods has extended the application of the Council
    Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 in 1994, consequently its annex II must be amended
    in a way to take account of the reductions of the fixed component and the quotas
    provided for 1994 by the Protocol 3 to the Interim Agreement. The tariff quotas
    shall be administered according to the rules laid down in the said Regulation.

              amending Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3918/92 opening and

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular
Article 113, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the European Agreement between the European Economic Community on the
one hand and the Republic of Hungary, on the other hand were signed on 16 December
1991; whereas pending the entry into force of that Agreement, the Community has
concluded Interim Agreement1;
Whereas the Council Regulation (EC) N° /93 of December 19932, laying down the
trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of
agricultural products, establishes in article 7, paragraph 2, the procedure to adopt the
detailed rules for determining and managing reduced agricultural components where a
preferential agreement so provides ;
Whereas the Protocol 3 to the Interim Agreement provides for the reduction of the
charge, in particular the fixed component of the charge, applied to goods listed in Table
 1 of Annex 2 to the said Protocol within the limits of quotas established in table 1 of
annex 1 to this Protocol; whereas to take account of the fixed component of the charge
and the quotas provided to 1994, it is necessary to modify the annex II of the Council
