(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993
laying down provisions for the implementation of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community
Customs Code (6) has codified the management rules for
tariff quotas designed to be used following the chro-
nological order of dates of customs declarations. Tariff
quotas under this Regulation should therefore be admin-

(8) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation
(EC) No 1349/2000 has effectively lost its substance and
should therefore be repealed.

2. The minimum import prices, as set out in point 1, will be respected on a consignment by consignment basis. In the
case of a customs declaration value being lower than the minimum import price, a countervailing duty will be
charged equal to the difference between the minimum import price and the customs declaration value.

3. If the import prices of a given product covered by this Annex show a trend suggesting that the prices could go below
the level of the minimum import prices in the immediate future, the European Commission will inform the Estonian
authorities in order to enable them to correct the situation.

4. At the request of either the Community or Estonia, the Association Council shall examine the functioning of the
system or the revision of the level of the minimum import prices. If appropriate, the Association Council shall take
the necessary decisions.

5. To encourage and promote the development of trade and for the mutual benefit of all parties concerned, a
consultation meeting may be organised three months before the beginning of each marketing year in the
European Community. This consultation meeting will take place between the European Commission and the
interested European producers' organisations for the products concerned, on the one part and the authorities',
producers' and exporters' organisations of all the associated exporting countries, on the other part.

During this consultation meeting, the market situation for soft fruit including, in particular, forecasts for production,
stock situation, price evolution and possible market development, as well as possibilities to adapt supply to demand,
will be discussed.
