THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3491/93 of 13 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded as part of the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (2);

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 provides for autonomous, transitional measures to adjust the agricultural concessions covered by the Europe Agreements concluded between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, of the other part, from 1 January 1996 until the entry into force of the additional Protocols to the Europe Agreements that are to be concluded in the wake of the negotiations now under way with the countries in question;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 193/96 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application to milk and milk products of the arrangements provided for in the abovementioned Agreements;

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:
