Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 747/94 of 30 March 1994 establishing administration procedures for quantitative quotas on certain products originating in the People's Republic of China (2), the period of validity of the  import licences issued by the competent authorities of the Member States in 1994 is six months from the date of issue;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,
