COMMISSION DECISION of 29 April 1993 authorizing the French Republic to apply safeguard measures to the importation of bananas originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States (Only the French text is authentic)

(93/236/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the fourth ACP-EEC Convention signed in Lomé on 15 September 1989, hereinafter referred to as 'the Convention', and in particular Articles 177 and 178 (3) thereof (1),

Whereas Protocol 4 of the Convention on the implementation of Article 178 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3705/90 (2) explain how the safeguard measures should be applied;

Whereas on 23 April 1993 the French Government applied to the Commission under Article 178 (3) of the Convention for an authorization to limit its imports of bananas originating in ACP States;

Whereas the French authorities pointed to the existence in recent weeks of an imbalance on the French market due to banana imports from the ACP States in excess of what the market can absorb and of traditional supplies;

Whereas the additional information requested by the Commission confirms that banana prices have indeed fallen sharply in recent week not only on the consumer market but also and above all in the areas of production; whereas this has given rise to exceptional difficulties in marketing bananas from Guadeloupe and Martinique which are liable to harm that sector of the economy in those regions;

Whereas the dire financial situation arising for producers in those regions warrants the authorization of emergency measures;

Whereas, in the light of the above, the French Republic should be authorized to take measures to correct the imbalance on the market;

Whereas these measures should be confined to those which cause minimum disruption to trade between the Community and the ACP States; whereas they should not go beyond what is strictly necessary to remedy the difficulties which have arisen; whereas traditional trade flows between France and the ACP States should be maintained,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The French Republic shall be authorized to limit on its territory, during the months of May and June 1993, imports of fresh bananas falling within CN code ex 0803 00 10 originating in the ACP States to the quantities imported from each of those countries during the same months over the last three years.

Article 2

The French Republic shall notify the Commission of the measures taken to apply this Decision.

Article 3

This Decision shall apply until 30 June 1993.

Article 4

This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION of 8 July 1993 calling upon the Italian Republic to postpone the adoption of its draft regulations in respect of the labelling of foodstuffs and infant formulae packaged under a modified atmosphere (Only the Italian text is authentic)

(93/395/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/72/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 and 17 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Italian authorities notified the Commission of their intention to adopt two draft regulations relating to the packaging of foodstuffs and infant formulae under a modified atmosphere;

Wheres the two draft regulations include labelling rules requiring that the packaging of the products be marked with the words 'packaged under a modified atmosphere';

Whereas, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Commission has consulted the other Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs;

Whereas it has been generally acknowledged that it is important for consumers to be informed about the method of packaging of the foodstuffs they buy inasmuch as it enables them to understand why the product has a long or a short shelf life;

Whereas, in these circumstances, it would be useful to require the labelling of the products concerned to indicate that packaging gases have been used;

Whereas, however, for Italy to apply such a measure unilaterally would be bound to hamper intra-Community trade;

Whereas this finding led the Commission to deliver a negative opinion in accordance with Article 16 (2) (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;

Whereas the mot satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the draft Italian regulations would be to draw up Community provisions;

Whereas any national initiative in this area should therefore be postponed for a suitable period;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic shall, for a period of six months from the notification of this Decision, postpone the adoption of its two draft regulations in respect of labelling rules requiring the inclusion of the words 'packaged under a modified atmosphere'.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
