THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 518/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the  one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 519/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the  one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the  one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part (3), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas the Association Agreements between, on the one part, the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, and the other part the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic were  signed on 16 December 1991; whereas, awaiting the entry into force of these Agreements, the Community decided to apply with effect from 1 March 1992 Intermediate Agreements concluded with the aforesaid countries, hereinafter referred to as 'Intermediate  Agreements';
Whereas the Agreement provides for a reduction of import levy for certain products in the pigmeat sector limited to certain quantities; whereas, in order to ensure the regularity of imports, it is important to spread out the aforesaid quantities  throughout the year;
Whereas, while recalling the dispositions of the Intermediate Agreement intended to guarantee the origin of the product, it would be appropriate to assure the management of the regime through import licences; whereas, with that in mind, it would be  appropriate to define, in particular, the methods by which requests may be presented, as well as the elements which must appear on the requests for the licences; in derogation to Articles 8 and 21 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November  1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import or export licences for advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (5); whereas it is appropriate moreover  to take measures so that the licences are delivered after a delay of reflection and on condition, should the occasion arise, of a single coefficient of reduction;
Whereas, in order to assure efficient management of the regime foreseen, it is appropriate to provide that the guarantee in respect of the import licences within the framework of the said regime should be fixed at ECU 30 per tonne; whereas the risk of  speculation inherent to the regime in question in the pigmeat sector requires that access of operators to the said regime be subordinate to the respect of certain precise conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
