THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-
nity,

(3)

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001
of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit
and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1110/2002 (3) fixes the
indicative quantities for system B export licences other
than those sought in the context of food aid.

In the light of the information available to the Commis-
sion today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities
laid down for the current export period for oranges will
shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the

proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit
and vegetables sector.

To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences
for oranges exported after 11 July 2002 should be
rejected until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Applications for system B export licences for oranges submitted
pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1110/2002, export
declarations for which are accepted after 11 July 2002 and
before 17 September 2002, are hereby rejected.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 July 2002.
