                         Explanatory memorandum
1.  On 10 February 1993(*) the European Parliament approved the
    common position agreed by the Council on 21 December 1992(2) with
    a view to adopting a Regulation on transit statistics and storage
    statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States.
    However, it made its approval subject to an amendment, which was
    accepted by the Commission at the same plenary session.
2.  The purpose of the amendment is to add to Article 15 (entry into
    force) a sentence that will limit the application of the Regulation
    to 31 December 1996 and will make it incumbent on the Commission to
    draw up a report on its application three months before that date.
    This amendment is therefore in line with Article 16 of the basic
    Regulation (Regulation (EEC) No 3330/9l( 3 )), since the end of the
    VAT transitional period is scheduled for the said date.
3.  As this amendment is in keeping with the purport of the
    Commission's proposal of 31 March 1992( 4 ), the Commission has
    re-examined its proposal accordingly.

                       Re-examined proposal for a
                        COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
                               on transit
  statistics and storage statistics relating to the trading of goods
                          between Member States
On 31 March 1992, the Commission presented to the Council an amended
proposal for a Regulation on statistics on the trading of goods between
Member StatesC1). On 21 December 1992, the Council agreed a common
position with a view to adopting this Regulation. On 10 February 1993,
the European Parliament decided to modify this common position by
adding an amendment. Having regard to this decision, the Commission,
which accepted this amendment, has re-examined its proposal as follows:
     the following text is added after the first indent of Article 15:
           The regulation shall remain in force
           until 31 December 1996. No later than
           three months before this date, the
           Commission shall present a report on
           the application of this Regulation
           and if necessary put forward a
           propos?!.
