COMMISSION DECISION of 1 September 1993 on the release of securities relating to certain licences and certificates issued under the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92

(93/503/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3714/92 (2), and in particular

Articles 3 (4), 4 (4), 5 (2) and 6 (2) thereof,

Whereas the entry into force of the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands was achieved by centralizing the administrative procedures relating to the submission of applications and the issue of licences and certificates; whereas such centralization of the procedures is justified by the need to verify that the supply system is being correctly administered; whereas, however, the transition from the former to the new arrangements has created certain problems of assessment of the needs of Canarian importers; whereas such importers have, on occasions, applied for the issue of import licences, exemption certificates and aid certificates in respect of quantities exceeding realistic utilization levels;

Whereas the issue of licences and certificates shall be conditional upon the lodging of a security; whereas that security shall be forfeit in the event of non-observance of the obligation to use the licence or certificate;

Whereas a new temporary provision derogating from a strict application of the rules governing such licences and certificates is warranted in order to facilitate the transition from the former to the new supply arrangements for the Canary Islands;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Securities lodged for the import licences, the exemption certificates and the aid certificates:

- which have been issued during the period 1 October to 31 December 1992 pursuant to Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, and

- which have been used only partly or not at all,

shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (3).

(93/528/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from their countries (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/ECC (2), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Whereas Commission Decision 93/242/EEC (3) of 30 April 1993, as last amended by Decision 93/498/EEC (4), concerning the importation into the Community of certain live animals and their products originating from certain European countries in relation to foot-and-mouth disease provides for a prohibition of the importation of live animals, fresh meat and certain meat products of susceptible species from countries which have not given certain additional guarantees; whereas Russia has not given acceptable additional guarantees; whereas therefore the importation of live animals, fresh meat and certain meat products of susceptible species is prohibited;

Whereas following an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Russia Commission Decision 93/418/EEC of 28 July 1993 concerning protection measures in relation to foot-and-mouth disease in Russia (5) was adopted; whereas this limited imports form Russia to the Community to heat treated meat products and treated hides and skins;

Whereas the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in Russia has been controlled and limited to one outbreak;

Whereas therefore it is appropriate to apply the conditions of Decision 93/242/EEC to imports from Russia; whereas these include the prohibition on the importation of live animals, fresh meat and certain meat products of susceptible species;

Whereas therefore it is necessary to repeal Decision 93/418/EEC;

Whereas this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
