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

will prejudice the proper working of the export refund

licences for tomatoes exported after 26 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 tomatoes
submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No
1875/98, export declarations for which are accepted after
26 October 1998 and before 16 November 1998, are
hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 October
