COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2999/92

laying down detailed rules for the application of the specific
measures for the supply of processed fruit and vegetable products
to Madeira
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
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 (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985
on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied
for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended
by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, in the application of Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC)
No 1600/92, it is necessary to determine the quantities of certain
processed fruit and vegetable products in the forecast supply balance,
falling within CN code 2008 and qualifying for exemption from duty on
direct imports from third countries or for aid for consignments from the
rest of the Community;
Whereas the amount of the abovementioned aid for the supply of
processed fruit products to Madeira should be fixed; whereas that aid
must be fixed taking account, in particular, of the cost of supply from the
world market, the conditions resulting from that region’ s geographical
situation and current prices for exports to the latter;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1696/92 (4), as amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 2132/92 (5), lays down common detailed rules for
implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain
agricultural products to Madeira; whereas it is appropriate to lay down
additional detailed rules in line with current commercial practice in the
processed fruit and vegetable products sector, in particular regarding the
duration of the validity of licences and certificates and the amount of the
securities ensuring operators’ compliance with their obligations;
Whereas, with a view to sound management of the supply arrangements,
provision should be made for a timetable for the lodging of licence and
certificate applications and for a period of reflection for their issue;
Whereas, in application of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the supply
arrangements apply from 1 July 1992; whereas provision should be made
for the detailed rules for their implementation to apply as soon as
possible;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance
with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and
Vegetables,!B
