Whereas:

(2) Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 14(3) and the fourth indent of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 respectively specify, with a view to administrative simplification, the quantity below which an import licence can be established without a security having to be lodged, and the quantity of products that can be imported without a licence.
(3) Articles 5 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 have been replaced by Articles 5 and 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000.

With a view to consistency and the simplification of procedures, the derogation should be deleted and the common rules laid down in Articles 5 and 15 of the above Regulation, which relate respectively to cases where an import licence or a security is not required, should be applied to processed fruit and vegetable products.
