of 7 June 2001

fixing the adjustment coefficients to be applied to each traditional operator's reference quantity
under the tariff quotas for imports of bananas

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13
February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in
bananas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 216/
2001 (2),

Under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, in
the light of the total quantities available under tariff
quotas A/B and C and of the information received from
the Member States on the sum of the reference quant-
ities established for traditional operators A/B and for
traditional operators C respectively in accordance with
Article 4(1) and (2) of that Regulation, the Commission
is to set, where appropriate, a single adjustement coeffi-
cient to be applied to each operator's reference quantity.

According to the information sent by the Member States
under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, the
sum of the reference quantities is 1 964 154 tonnes for
traditional operators A/B and 725 180 tonnes for tradi-
tional operators C. An adjustment coefficient must
therefore be fixed to be applied to each operator's refer-
ence quantity in each of the two categories of traditional
operator.

It should be recalled that, for the second half of 2001,
the reference quantity for each traditional operator is
