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 Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 (1) lays down the arrangements applicable to manioc and similar products originating in certain third countries under which, on import into the Community, a maximum levy of 6 % ad valorem is applied and which expire on  31 December 1994 for Thailand;
Whereas, as agreed during the GATT multilateral trade negotiations, the arrangements applicable to manioc originating in Thailand will be replaced from 1 July 1995 by a tariff quota in accordance with the scheme submitted by the Community; whereas,  therefore, at this stage, that quota should be opened only for the first half of 1995 for the relevant quantity for that period, namely 50 % of the 5 250 000 tonnes available for 1995; whereas the remaining quota will be opened after entry into force  and on the basis of the provisions relating to the implementation of the abovementioned agreements,
