COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2159/98

of 7 October 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 (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 1875/98 (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
table grapes 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 table grapes exported after 7 October 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 table grapes
submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No
1875/98, export declarations for which are accepted after
7 October 1998 and before 16 November 1998, are
hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 October 1998.

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