THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/
97 of 29 September 1997 laying down detailed rules for
the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements
provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 and
repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2698/93 and (EC) No
1590/94 (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 618/98 (2),
and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,

Whereas the applications for import licences lodged for
the first quarter of 1999 are for quantities less than the
quantities available and can therefore be met in full;

Whereas the surplus to be added to the quantity available
for the following period should be determined;

Whereas, it is appropriate to draw the attention of oper-
ators to the fact that licences may only be used for prod-
ucts which comply with all veterinary rules currently in
force in the Community,

Article 1

1. Applications for import licences for the period 1
January to 31 March 1999 submitted pursuant to Regula-
tion (EC) No 1899/97 shall be met as referred to in
Annex I.

2. During the first 10 days of the period 1 April to 30
June 1999 applications may be lodged pursuant to Regu-
lation (EC) No 1898/97 for import licences for a total
quantity as referred to in Annex II.

3.
Licences may only be used for products which
comply with all veterinary rules currently in force in the
Community.
