Whereas in Decision 94/360/EC (3), as last amended by 95/270/EC (4), the Commission adopted measures on the reduction in frequency of physical checks of consignments of products to be imported form third countries; whereas these frequencies should apply from 1 February 1996, following a review of the frequencies on the basis of the results of all checks on imported consignments of products;
