THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

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
walnuts in shell 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 walnuts in shell and apples for destination
group X exported after 12 November 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 walnuts in
shell and apples for destination group X submitted
pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1875/98,
export declarations
for which are accepted after 12
November 1998 and before 16 November 1998, are
hereby rejected.
