of 18 June 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1303/83 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates for products processed from fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (3) and 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 concerning products subject to the system of import licences has been amended; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1303/83 (3) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the period of validity of import licences for the new products in Annex IV should be determined in the light of international trade practice; whereas the amount of the security for import licences and advance fixing certificates should be fixed at levels which will enable the system to function properly;
Whereas, in order to ensure better knowledge of the trade pattern in certain products, an indication of the country of origin should be required and the importer should be obliged to import from the country thus indicated;
Whereas dried grapes are subject up to 31 August 1984 to the system of import licences under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 of 13 October 1982 on protective measures applicable to imports of dried grapes (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 936/84 (5); whereas the application of this Regulation to those products should therefore be deferred until that date;
Whereas, on the date of application of this Regulation, valid import licences may still exist which have been issued for products no longer subject to the licence system; whereas provision should therefore be made for such licences to be returned to the issuing authority and the securities released;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
