COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 947/98

of 5 May 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 1556/96 introducing a system of import licences
for certain fruit and vegetables imported from third countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of
28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the
market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2520/97 (2), and in
particular Article 31(2) thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1556/96 (3), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 855/98 (4), introduced a system of
import licences for certain fruit and vegetables imported

products indicates that the list should be amended by
abolishing the licence requirement for tomatoes, cherries
and apples;

whereas if that requirement is abolished by this Regula-

tion it will be necessary to make this Regulation applic-
able from 1 May 1998;

Whereas the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and
Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time
limit set by its Chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1556/96 is replaced by
the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter
into force on the day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

It shall apply with effect from 1 May 1998.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 948/98

of 5 May 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
tomatoes and apples for destination group X 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 tomatoes and apples for destination group X
exported after 5 May 1998 should be rejected until the
end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B licences for tomatoes and
apples for destination group X submitted pursuant to
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 520/98, export declara-
tions
after
5 May and before 20 May 1998, are hereby rejected.
