Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1241/96 of 28 June 1996 fixing until the end of the 1996 marketing year the maximum levels of withdrawal prices for tomatoes grown under glass

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,

Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra` class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;

Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1995 marketing year a variation of the same order as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes for the 1996 marketing year;

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

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 823/96 (4), establishes on the basis of the combined nomenclature an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds;

Whereas the export refund nomenclature should be made part of the Integrated Tariff of the European Community (Taric) from 1 January 1997 so that the automated customs clearance procedures upon export can be used without manual intervention;

Whereas, however, such integration requires the refund codes to be adjusted to the additional four-digit code system used currently in the Taric; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 should be amended as a result;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,
