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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3951/92 of 29 December 1992 on the arrangements for imports of certain textile products originating in Taiwan (1) established quantitative limits on the import of certain textile products originating in Taiwan;

Whereas, according to Article 2 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the Union is founded, hereinafter referred to as the Act of Accession, Regulation (EEC) No 3951/92 and, in particular, the limits set out in Annex II to that Regulation shall be applicable in the acceding countries, subject to their accession and on the date of entry into force of the Act of Accession relative to these acceding countries; whereas, in conformity with Article 30 and Article 169 of the Act of Accession, and Annex II thereto, the Community innitiations should none the less proceed with the necessary adaptation of Community legislation;

Whereas it is therefore appropriate to adjust the quantitative limits contained in Regulation (EEC) No 3951/92 to take into account the probable accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and to use for this purpose, in order to take into account the existing trade flows, the total level of imports of the products concerned in each of the acceding countries during 1993, the last year for which complete statistical data are available, as a basis for adjustment;

Whereas, therefore, subject to the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and from the date of entry into force to the Act of Accession, the quantitative limits for 1995 set out in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3951/92 should be replaced by the quantitatives limits indicated in Annex I to this Regulation, which represent an increase equivalent to the actual quantities imported into the acceding countries in 1993, including an appropriate growth rate;

Whereas, following the entry into force of the Treaty on European Union and the change of name from 'European Economic Community' to 'European Community', it is also appropriate to reflect this change in the model export certificate contained in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 3951/92,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
