COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2752/85

of 30 September 1985

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 on protective measures applicable to imports of certain Morello cherries

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 746/85 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1712/85 (4), fixes a minimum price which must be paid for certain Morello cherries on import into the Community; whereas Morello cherries preserved by freezing, whether or not containing added sugar, are marketed with or without the stones, thus giving rise to major price differences between the products in question; whereas it is therefore necessary to introduce different minimum prices and adjust the countervailing charges; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 should be amended accordingly;

Whereas it is advisable to take into account the special situation of products which, when this Regulation is published, have already left the exporting country,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
