and accompanying measures between the European
Community, the European Coal and Steel Community
and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one
part, and the Republic of Slovenia, of the other part (1), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1514/97 (2), and in
particular Article 4 (5) thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. Applications for import licences for the period 1
April to 30 June 1998 submitted pursuant to Regulation
(EC) No 509/97 shall be met as referred to in Annex I.

2. During the first 10 days of the period 1 July to 30
September 1998 applications may be lodged pursuant to
Regulation (EC) No 509/97 for import licences for the
total quantities as referred to in Annex II.

Whereas the applications for import licences lodged for
the second quarter of 1998 are for quantities less than the

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