COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3550/93 of 21 December 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 584/92 laying down detailed rules for the application to milk and milk products of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreements between the Community and the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, and amending Regulation (EC) No 3055/93 determining the quantity available for the first quarter of 1994 in the milk sector pursuant to the said Interim Agreements

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic of the other part (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2235/93 (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas the aforementioned Interim Agreement has been applied provisionally since 1 March 1992 (3); whereas the Community concluded on 20 December 1993 additional Protocols to that Agreement with the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic following the dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic on 1 January 1993; whereas those additional Protocols provide for the distribution between the two successor States of the Community concessions granted under the Interim Agreement, and in particular the opening of separate quotas for the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic from 1 January 1994;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/92 (4) lays down detailed rules for the application to milk and milk products of the arrangements provided for in the aforementioned Interim Agreement and in particular fixes the quantities of products to which those arrangements apply and the rate of reduction in the levies; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend that Regulation in order to provide for the distribution of the quantities of products between the two countries in question;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3055/93 (5) already fixes the quantities available for the period 1 January to 31 March 1994 for certain products in the milk and milk products sector under the arrangements provided for in the aforementioned Interim Agreement; whereas, as a result of the additional Protocols, the distribution of the said quantities should be amended;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
