of 3 June 1999

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 (EEC) No 1035/72 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 927/1999 (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
lemons 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 lemons exported after 3 June 1999 should be
rejected until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export licences for lemons
submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No
927/1999, export declarations for which are accepted after
3 June and before 1 July 1999, are hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 June 1999.

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