COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2178/92 of 30 July 1992 determining, for tobacco from the 1991 harvest, the quantity actually produced and the prices and premiums payable under the system of maximum guaranteed quantities

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 860/92 (2), and in particular Article 4 (5) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2824/88 of 13 September 1988 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of the system of maximum guaranteed quantities in the tobacco sector and amending Regulations (EEC) No 1076/78 and (EEC) No 1726/70 (3), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 (4) thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 provides for a system of maximum guaranteed quantities; whereas that system provides in particular that where the quantities fixed for a variety or a group of varieties are exceeded, the prices and premiums concerned must be reduced in accordance with Article 4 (5) of that Regulation;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2824/88 lays down that, before 31 July of the year following that of harvest, the Commission must, for each of the varieties or groups of varieties of tobacco for which a maximum guaranteed quantity has been fixed, determine in particular on the basis of the figures notified by the Member States, the quantity actually produced which, if exceeded, causes the prices and premiums for the variety or group of varieties concerned to be reduced by 1 % for each 1 % by which the maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded; whereas when that occurs the norm price is reduced by an amount equal to the reduction in the premium; whereas in the case of the 1991 harvest the maximum reduction allowed is 15 %;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1738/91 (4), fixes inter alia the maximum guaranteed quantities of leaf tobacco and the prices and premiums for the 1991 harvest;

Whereas on the basis of the figures available the quantities actually produced in respect of the 1991 harvest are those set out below; whereas the prices and premiums for that harvest should accordingly be adjusted as shown below;

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