COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1859/93
of 12 July 1993
on the application of the system of import licences for garlic
imported from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May
1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and veget-ables (
1), as lastamended by Regulat ion (EEC) No 746/93 (2), and in
particular Article 22b thereof,
Whereas Article 22b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides for the
possibility of introducing a system of import licences for certain prod-ucts which prove to be sensitive and which are imported in relativelylarge quantities;
Whereas traditional import flows of garlic are rising sharply and as a
consequence measures should be adopted for imports of that product tobe monitored closely;
Whereas the most suitable means of achieving that objective is to
introduce a system of import licences requiring a set period to elapsebetween the submission of the application and the actual issuance of thelicence and entailing the lodging of a security reflecting the value of theproduct, in order to ensure compliance by operators with their obliga-tions; whereas the term of validity of licences must take account of thefeatures of the market for the product concerned;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November
1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of thesystem of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates foragricultural products (
3), as lastamended by Regulat ion (EEC) No 2101/
92 (4), should apply;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
