COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2236/83

of 4 August 1983

on the sale at a price fixed in advance of dried grapes from the 1982 and 1983 harvests held by Greek storage agencies

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1088/83 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 of 27 July 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of production aid for dried figs and dried grapes (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2674/82 (4), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,

Whereas it has not been possible for the Council to adopt a decision concerning the system of aid within the appropriate time; whereas in order to prevent a disruption of the operation of this system which could cause serious disturbance on the market, the Commission has made known its intention, as a precaution and pending a Council Decision, to continue to administer the market on the basis of the rules in force during the previous marketing year;

Whereas the representative rate for the drachma is altered with effect from 1 September 1983 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1223/83 of 20 May 1983 (5); whereas the prices at which the Greek storage agencies sell dried grapes from the 1982 harvest should therefore be altered;

Whereas in the light of the present situation on the market it is expected that the storage agencies will buy in substantial quantities of dried grapes from the 1983 harvest; whereas the storage agencies should therefore sell those products in the same way as products from the 1982 harvest; whereas, to that end, the sales prices should be fixed taking into account the representative rate applicable during the 1983/84 marketing year;

Whereas the prices fixed in this Regulation for dried grapes from the 1982 harvest replace those fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2783/82 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 396/83 (7); whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2783/82 should therefore be repealed with effect from 1 September 1983;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
