Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 of 30 June 1981 on measures relating to imports of preserved cultivated mushrooms (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 referred to above provides that the quantities which may be imported without payment of the additional amount must be allocated between the supplying countries with due regard for traditional trade flows and new suppliers; whereas it is necessary to lay down and allocate these quantities for the period 1 October to 31 December 1981;

Whereas, since the Commission may obtain additional information after the date of entry into force of this Regulation concerning imports carried out during the first three quarters, provision should be made at present for possible revision of the quantities fixed;

Whereas, in order to ensure that the quotas assigned to the Member States are correctly used, the Member States should be obliged to use the import licence system in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80;

Whereas, in order to facilitate levying the additional amount, it is appropriate to specify the information to be given in the import licences in respect of quantities in excess of those which may be imported free of the said amount, and the necessary administrative formalities should be laid down;

Whereas, in order that the arrangements provided for by the abovementioned Regulation may be correctly implemented, Article 3a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2104/75 (4) should not apply;

Whereas the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
