COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1563/95 of 30 June 1995 amending Regulations (EEC) No 388/92 and (EEC) No 1727/92 laying down detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of cereal products to the French overseas departments (FOD) and to the Azores and Madeira respectively and establishing the relevant forecast supply balances

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 2 (6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (4), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in particular Article 10 (4) thereof,

Whereas the implementation of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture calls for substantial changes to the import arrangements; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 388/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3101/94 (6), together with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1727/92 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2426/94 (8), should therefore be adapted accordingly;

Whereas the forecast supply balance of cereal products to the Azores and Madeira, established by Regulation (EEC) No 1727/92, allows the quantities laid down for certain products to be interchanged; whereas, in order to meet requirements in the Azores, it has proved necessary to make changes to that forecast supply balance; whereas, in response to a request from the Portuguese authorities and for the sake of simplification, the time-limits for the submission of applications for licences and certificates should also be brought into line;

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