Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1416/95 of 19 June 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas in 1995 for certain processed agricultural products (1) opened tariff quotas for 1995 in favour of Switzerland and Norway in accordance with the conditions set out in Annexes I and II thereto;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1416/95 was renewed for 1996, 1997 and 1998, by Regulations (EC) No 102/96 (2), (EC) No 306/97 (3) and (EC) No 560/98 (4) respectively;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (5) consolidated the arrangements for managing the tariff quotas to be used in chronological order of the date of acceptance of the declarations for release for free circulation;
