The Council adopted this directive, although it supplemented the initial proposal in order to extend the application of certain measures provided for in Directive 77/93 for a period ending six months after the date by which Member States must apply future provisions on the annexes to the directive in order to protect French overseas departments and the Canary Islands. The Member States must transpose the directive by 1 January 1995.�
