COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 12/1999

of 7 January 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 laying down detailed rules for the applica-
tion of the system of import licences for products processed from fruit and
vegetables and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of
28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the
market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1),
as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2199/97 (2), and
in particular Article 11(2) thereof,

Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No
1921/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2427/
95 (4), lists the products for which import licences are
required and the relevant securities; whereas experience
gained with those import control measures and the devel-
opment of trade and statistical methods allow some prod-
ucts to be deleted from that Annex; whereas, following
such deletion, Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1921/95
serves no further purpose and should be deleted;

Whereas, under the tariff ceiling for processed sour cher-
ries originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Mace-
donia fixed in Council Regulation (EC) No 77/98 (5) and
administered pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC)
No 123/98 (6),
the products covered by CN code
ex 0813 40 95 should be added to the list of products for
licences are required and the relevant
which import
securities should be fixed;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90 (7),
as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1032/95 (8), estab-
lishes the list of products to which Article 2(2) of Regula-
tion (EC) No 1921/95 is applicable; whereas, on the one
hand, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 (9), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2493/98 (10), makes

provision for that measure as regards preserved mush-
rooms and Commission Regulations (EC) No 122/98 (11),
as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1057/98 (12) and (EC)
No 123/98 make provision therefore as regards processed
sour cherries originating in the Republics of Bosnia-
Herzegovina and Croatia and in the former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia and, on the other hand, main-
taining that list seems unnecessary for the other products
and origins; whereas, for the sake of clarity and efficiency
of administration, Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90 should
be repealed;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Veget-
ables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 is amended as follows:

1. Article 6 is deleted.

2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90 is repealed.

Article 3

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