Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1732/95 (3) establishes administrative procedures for the 1996 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China; whereas, pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of that Regulation, the import licences covering these quotas are, in principle, valid for nine months starting on 1 January 1996, although an extension may be possible subject to certain conditions;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2319/95 (4) establishes the quantities to be allocated to importers from the said quotas;
