COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2147/95 of 8 September 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (2), 12 (4) and 13 (11) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1861/95 (4), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice; whereas, owing to an error, that Regulation does not reflect the situation which has existed for many years with regard to the duration of export licences for malt, which is that, unless there is a special request by the operator, the duration of validity of such licences is the current month plus four months; whereas that error should be corrected;
Whereas the list of products covered by the period for reflection as referred to in Article 7 (3) is incomplete owing to the omission of the product falling within CN code 1102 20 90; whereas the appropriate addition should be made to that list;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
