COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1465/79 of 13 July 1979 amending Regulation (EEC) No 890/78 laying down detailed rules for the certification of hops and Regulation (EEC) No 3076/78 on the importation of hops from non-member countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 235/79 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (5) and 5 (3) thereof,

Whereas experience gained during the first year of application of Commission Regulations (EEC) No 890/78 (3) and (EEC) No 3076/78 (4) shows that those measures should be supplemented or amended to take better account of the requirements for marketing the product;

Whereas it seems desirable that, in the absence of a uniform model certificate for the Community, the certificates issued in the different Member States should bear an identical text in respect of the product's conformity to Community requirements;

Whereas it appears necessary to supplement the rules by adding provisions on proof of certification of products coming from a split consignment ; whereas it seems appropriate to adopt a similar system covering the resale of hop products imported from non-member countries, after a consignment is split up;

Whereas the weights laid down in the Community rules below which small packages of hops or hop products may circulate without a certificate or without the attestations provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3076/78 are not entirely in accordance with traditional trade practice ; whereas these maximum weights should accordingly be raised;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
