COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1510/2001

of 24 July 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 1047/2001 introducing a system of import licences and certificates of
origin and establishing the method for managing tariff quotas for garlic imported from third
countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28
October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in
fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 911/2001 (2), and in particular Article 31(2)
thereof,

Whereas:

Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1047/
2001 (3) lays down the conditions under which applica-
tions for import licences for garlic may be lodged, and
the maximum quantity that each application may cover.

In order to facilitate trade and to stabilise the market,
the maximum quantity of each application from tradi-
tional
importers lodged every quarter for imports of
garlic from a specific origin should be fixed on the basis
of the annual imports previously made by those impor-
ters from that same origin rather than on the basis of
the maximum quantity available.

more than four applications for A licences for the import
of garlic and the applications must be at least five days
apart. Furthermore:

(a) each application from a traditional importer within the
meaning of Article 6(3) may cover no more than the
maximum level of his imports for that quarter in the
preceding three calendar years;

(b) each application from a new importer within the
meaning of Article 6(4) may cover no more than 10 %
of the quantity indicated in Annex I for that origin and
that quarter.

The applications for A licences shall be accompanied by
information allowing the competent national authorities to
verify to their satisfaction that the provisions of this para-
graph have been complied with.’

Article 2

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
