COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3535/84

of 17 December 1984

repealing Regulation (EEC) No 818/80 laying down protective measures applicable to imports of cultivated mushrooms in brine

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 988/84 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 818/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3348/82 (4), lays down protective measures applicable to imports of cultivated mushrooms in brine and cultivated mushrooms prepared or preserved using vinegar or acetic acid; whereas the difficulties affecting the Community market in mushrooms at the time these safeguard measures were taken, as a consequence of the growth of imports from third countries, have receded to the point where it no longer appears necessary to maintain import controls; whereas, accordingly, the Regulation in question should now be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 818/80 is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1985.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
