Whereas, in order to take account of existing import arrangements in the poultrymeat sector and  those resulting from the Agricultural Agreement concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral  trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the  form of exemption from the import duty for certain poultrymeat products from the ACP States and the  OCT;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 903/90  (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/90   (3), lays down detailed rules for the application of preferential conditions in the form of a  reduction in the import levy for poultrymeat quotas; whereas, since the levies are being replaced  by customs duties from 1 July 1995, it is necessary to make transitional adjustments to these  rules;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
Regulation (EEC) No 903/90 is hereby amended as follows:
The word 'levy` is replaced by the words 'customs duty laid down in the Common Customs Tariff` each  time that it appears.

Whereas the Commission will shortly submit a proposal for a Directive relating to the authorisation of the use throughout the Community among these preservatives of formic acid and its salts, of hexamethylenetetramine and of boric acid and its salts ; whereas a decision cannot however be taken before 1 January 1973 and it is therefore necessary, in the case of these preservatives, to defer the application of the prohibition for a further year;
Article 11 (2) of the Council Directive of 5 November 1963 is amended by deleting the second sentence and substituting therefor the following:
"However, in the case of formic acid and its salts, boric acid and its salts and hexamethylenetetramine, application of the amended laws may be deferred until 1 January 1974."
