of 30 January 2001

on the issuing of export licences for products processed from fruit and vegetables

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 of
23 June 1995 on implementing rules for export refunds on
products processed from fruit and vegetables other than those
granted for added sugars (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC)

Whereas:

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2302/2000 (3) specifies
the quantities which may be covered by applications
submitted for export licences with advance fixing of the
refund other than those applied for in connection with
food aid.

Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 lays down the
conditions under which special measures may be taken
by the Commission to prevent an overrun in the quant-
ities for which export
licence applications may be
submitted.

In view of the information available to the Commission
as of today, the quantity of 293 tonnes of preserved
cherries in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2302/2000,
reduced or increased by the quantities referred to in

Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1429/95, would be
exceeded if licences were issued with advanced fixing of
refunds without restriction in response to applications
submitted since 25 January 2001. A reducing factor
should accordingly be applied to the quantities applied
for on 25 January 2001, and applications for export
licences with advance fixing of refunds submitted subse-
quently with a view to such licences being issued during
the current period should be rejected,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Export licences with advance fixing of the refund for preserved
cherries for which applications were submitted on 25 January
2001 pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2302/2000
shall be issued for 94,5 % of the quantities applied for.

Applications for export licences with advance fixing of refunds
for the above product submitted after 25 January 2001 and
before 24 February 2001 shall be rejected.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 January 2001.
