By way of derogation from Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, during the 1992/93 marketing year table apples of Community origin withdrawn from the market in accordance with that Regulation may be made available to charitable  organizations approved by the Member States for the purpose with a view to their free distribution to the victims of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.  2. Without prejudice to the Community provisions applicable to the subject, the costs of transport of the apples referred to in paragraph 1 shall be defrayed by the charitable organizations undertaking such operations.  3. Apples dispatched pursuant to paragraph 1 shall not qualify for export refunds applying to fruit and vegetables. The mention of 'without refund' has to be added to the customs export document, to the transit deed and, if created, to the T 5 document.  Article 2  Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation and in particular for coordination under the Community emergency aid plan for the former Yugoslavia shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 33 of  Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.  In the event of serious difficulties of supply, the Commission may decide, in accordance with the same procedure, to apply Article 1 of this Regulation to other fruit and vegetables withdrawn from the market or in respect of other destinations.  Article 3  This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  It shall apply from 1 October 1992.
