COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 690/98

of 27 March 1998

on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2190/
96 of 14 November 1996 on detailed rules for imple-
menting Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 as
regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables (1), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 213/98 (2), and in partic-
ular Article 5(5) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 520/98 (3) fixes
the indicative quantities for system B export licences
other than those sought in the context of food aid;

Whereas, in the light of the information available to the
Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative
quantities laid down for the current export period for
apples for destination group Y will shortly be exceeded;
whereas this overrun will prejudice the proper working of

the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables
sector;

Whereas, to avoid this situation, applications for system B
licences for apples for destination group Y exported after
27 March 1998 should be rejected until the end of the
current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B licences for apples for destina-
tion group Y submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regula-
tion (EC) No 520/98, export declarations for which are
accepted after 27 March and before 20 May 1998, are
hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 March 1998.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.
