COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 743/87
of 13 March 1987
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 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common market organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1838/86 (2), and in particular Articles 14 (3) and 15 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1303/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2397/86 (4), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates for products processed from fruit and vegetables; whereas the provisions of that Regulation have been amended many times; whereas, therefore, in the interests of clarity and administrative efficiency it is advisable to consolidate the rules in question in a single text, at the time making certain amendments which experience has shown to be desirable;
Whereas the special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates in question supplement and derogate from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3913/86 (6);
Whereas, in order to facilitate the adoption of appropriate measures in the event of disturbance or threatened disturbance to the market, provision should be made for introducing a fixed period between the application for and issue of the licences;
Whereas the term of validity of import licences, with or without advance fixing of the levy in respect of the various added sugars, should be determined in the light of the practices of international trade; whereas the amount of the security to be lodged 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, the country of origin must be indicated and the importer should be compelled to import from the country thus indicated; whereas, in view of the characteristics of trade in the products concerned, provision should be made for some relaxation of the rules concerning the compulsory indication of the country of origin;
Whereas in licence applications applicants must indicate the Common Customs Tariff subheading; whereas in the case of certain products falling within subheadings 20.06 B and 20.07 B of the Common Customs Tariff, it is not always possible, owing to considerable variations in natural sugar content or to fluctuations in exchange rates, to know the exact subheadings at the time of application for licences; whereas special provision should be made for those products;
Whereas the product to be exported is to be described in advance fixing certificates with reference to the relevant subheading of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas the criterion for classifying a product in a specific subheading is in many cases the sugar content; whereas, as a consequence, variations in the sugar content of a specific product may lead exporters to submit several applications on account of the product's successive classifications; whereas that situation could be avoided if the issue of a single certificate for such a product with a varying sugar content were to be authorized;
Whereas the third indent of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 provides that no licence is required for the purposes of operations relating to quantities for which the amount of the security for the corresponding licence would be five ECU or less; whereas Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 provides that no security is required in respect of an import or export licence or advance fixing certificate where the amount of security involved is five ECU or less, or under certain circumstances, 25 ECU or less;
Whereas the application of those provisions as regards products processed from fruit and vegetables results, because of the range of security rates, in a wide variation in the quantity of product covered;
Whereas it is necessary, with a view especially to administrative simplicity, to specify the quantity within which such products may be imported without a licence; whereas the quantity below which an import licence or advance fixing certificate is to be issued without a security being lodged should also be specified; whereas the second subparagraph of Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 should not apply;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
This Regulation lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates as provided for in Articles 14 and 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86.
