of 14 July 1998

fixing the coefficients for reducing the compensatory payments granted under
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 in the 1998/99 marketing year in certain
regions of the Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92
of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for produ-
cers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 2309/97 (2), and in particular Article 12
thereof,

Whereas, in order to prevent complicated regionalization
plans resulting in actual yields which significantly exceed
historical yields, Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides
for the reduction of compensatory payments during the
following marketing year in proportion to the overrun of
the average historical yield resulting from the 1993
regionalization plans;

Whereas the procedure to be used for measuring such
overruns is laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No
1237/95 of 31 May 1995 laying down detailed rules for
the application of the stabilizer to the yields used for the
calculation of the compensatory payments referred to in

Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 2017/97 (4);

Whereas application of that method results in the fixing
of the coefficients indicated in this Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management
Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Pursuant to Article 3(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92,
the compensatory payments for the 1998/99 marketing
year shall be multiplied by a coefficient of 0,993 in the
case of France.

Article 2

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

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

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 (EC) No 2200/96 as regards
export refunds on fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1287/98 (2), and in particular
Article 5(5) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1276/98 (3), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1302/98 (4), 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
oranges 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 oranges exported after 14 July 1998 should be
rejected until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export licences for oranges
submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No
1276/98, export declarations for which are accepted after
14 July 1998 and before 16 September 1998, are hereby
rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 July 1998.

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