THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

as

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1137/98 of
29 May 1998 concerning a protective measure applicable
to imports of garlic from China (3), and in particular
Article 1(3) thereof,

Whereas pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No
1859/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/
94 (5), the release for free circulation in the Community of
garlic imported from third countries is subject to presen-
tation of an import licence;

Whereas Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1137/98,
restricts the issue of import licences for garlic originating
in China to a maximum monthly quantity in the case of
applications lodged from 1 June 1998 to 31 May 1999;

Whereas, given the criteria laid down in Article 1(2) of
that Regulation and the import licences already issued,
the quantity applied for on 5 February 1999 is in excess
of the maximum monthly quantity given in the Annex to

that Regulation for the month of February 1999; whereas
is therefore necessary to determine to what extent
it
licences may be issued in response to these
import
applications; whereas the issue of licences in response to
applications lodged after 5 February 1999 and before 5
March 1999 should be refused,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 for garlic
falling within CN code 0703 20 00 originating in China
shall be issued for 1,05430 % of the quantity applied for,
having regard to the information available to the
Commission on 9 February 1999.

For the abovementioned products applications for import
licences lodged after 5 February 1999 and before 5 March
1999 shall be refused.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 February
1999.

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