THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of preferentialcustoms duties on imports of certain flowers originating in Cyprus,Israel and Jordan(
1), and in particular Article 5 (1) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 specifies tariff arrangements in
respect of the following four products: uniflorous (bloom) carnations,mutliflorous (spray) carnations, large-flowered roses and small-flow-
ered roses, originating in Cyprus, Israel and Jordan, providing, in
respect of each of them, for the application of a preferential customsduty when the import price corresponds to a minimum price definedin relation to Community producer prices;
Whereas, for the purpose of laying down the detailed rules of applica-
tion, each of the products in question should be defined and the mannerin which Community producer prices and import prices are established
should be determined;
Whereas, as regards roses, in view of the large number of varieties
produced in the Community, and of the fact that quantities fluctuate
widely from one market and from one season to another, producerprices should be determined with reference to an average price estab-lished on the basis of prices recorded for pilot varieties considered tobe the most representative of Community production;
Whereas most of the cut flowers imported from the abovementioned
countries are very h ighquality products generally complying withth e
Community standards established for Class I products; whereas, as
regards the determination of producer prices, reference should thereforebe made to the prices ruling for the products concerned of quality ClassI;
Whereas, for the fixing of producer prices, fluctuations which must be
considered excessive and must be disregarded, pursuant to the secondsubparagraphof Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87, are
price variations of 40 % or more above or below the average price
observed on the same market over the preceding three years;
Whereas, for the determination of the representative markets, the
Community producer markets and the Community import markets onwhich most of the transactions are effected and most of the pricequotations are available should be taken into account;
Whereas it should be provided that the Member States concerned must
communicate to the Commission all the information required for deter-mining the abovementioned prices;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Live Plants,1988R0700 — EN — 30.10.1993 — 002.001 — 2
