THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and  transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements  concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations  (1), and in particular  Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93  (2) provides for the application of an  agricultural component in the charge, which may take the form either of a variable component or of  a fixed component established in line with the conditions laid down in Article 5;
Whereas during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations the Community committed itself  to replacing all agricultural levies and variable components with fixed amounts as from 1 July  1995; whereas, from that date, these fixed amounts constitute the specific amounts which are part  of the customs duty applicable to imports of the goods listed in Table 1 of Annex B to Regulation  (EC) No 3448/93;
Whereas it is necessary to specify as a transitional measure and pending an amendment of Regulation  (EC) No 3448/93, that the amount applicable to imports of each of these goods is the duty laid down  in the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas this amount must serve as the basis for reductions, in accordance with preferential  agreements, of the agricultural component of the charge for certain goods originating in non-member  countries, where no specific rule is laid down by or in application of those agreements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products  not listed in Annex II to the Treaty,
1.  For the application of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EC) No  3448/93, the agricultural component of the charge shall take the form of a specific amount as laid  down in the Common Customs Tariff of the Community. This amount shall replace the variable  component established in accordance with Article 3.
2.  Where a preferential agreement provides for a reduction of the agricultural component in the  charge, calculated by reducing the basic amounts determined in accordance with Article 3 (2) of  Regulation (EC) No 3448/93, these basic amounts shall be replaced by the specific amounts laid down  in the Common Customs Tariff for imports of those basic products.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
