COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)  No 3064/95
of 22 December 1995
providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional  measure, of concessions for certain processed agricultural products provided for in the Europe  Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round  Multilateral Trade Negotiations
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 Protocol 3 of the Europe Agreements establishing an association between the European  Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of  Poland, the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic, Romania and the Republic of Bulgaria of the other  part (1), hereafter referred to as 'Europe Agreements', provides for concessions for certain  processed agricultural products originating in those countries; whereas those concessions involve,  in due cases, reductions in the variable components provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No  3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting  from the processing of agricultural products (2);
Whereas, pending adaptation of the abovementioned Protocol 3 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No  2179/95 (3) which, until the end of 1995, maintains the degree of preference granted, thus  offsetting possible negative effects the implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round may  have on exports of these countries to the Community;
Whereas the negotiations which are currently under way with the countries concerned for the  conclusion of Protocols amending the Europe Agreements have not yet been concluded; whereas  'interim' Protocols covering solely the trade-related aspects of the amending protocols cannot  enter into force on 1 January 1996; whereas it is therefore advisable to extend the concessions on  an autonomous basis until 30 June 1996,
1. The processed agricultural products originating in Poland and  listed in Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement with that country shall be subject to the duties  provided for in Annex I to this Regulation.
2. The processed agricultural products originating in Hungary listed in Protocol 3 to the Europe  Agreement with that country shall be subject to the duties provided for in Annex II to this  Regulation.
3. The processed agricultural products originating in Slovakia and listed in Protocol 3 to the  Europe Agreement with that country shall be subject to the duties provided for in Annex III to this  Regulation.
4. The processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and listed in Protocol 3  to the Europe Agreement with that country shall be subject to the duties provided for in Annex IV  to this Regulation.
5. The processed agricultural products originating in Romania and listed in Protocol 3 to the  Europe Agreement with that country shall be subject to the duties provided for in Annex V to this  Regulation.
6. The processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and listed in Protocol 3 to the  Europe Agreement with that country shall be subject to the duties provided for in Annex VI to this  Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January until 30 June 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
