amending Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 as regards the detailed rules for applying the quota buy-back
programme in the raw tobacco sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30
June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw
tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 546/
2002 (2), and in particular Article 14a thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 35(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/
98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for
the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92
as regards the premium scheme, production quotas and
the specific aid to be granted to producer groups in the
raw tobacco sector (3), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1005/2002 (4), provides, as part of the quota
buy-back procedure,
for a period running from 1
September to 31 December during which the Member
State makes public producers’
intentions to sell their
quotas, so that other producers might buy them before
they are permanently bought back.

Experience has shown that this four-month period is too
long and so should be halved, thereby speeding up the
buy-back procedure and making it more attractive to the
producers, since the period of uncertainty regarding the
conclusion of the sales procedure is also thus shortened.

(3)

(4)

As the period to be amended begins on 1 September,
this Regulation must enter into force immediately.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Tobacco,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 is hereby amended
as follows:

(a) The reference to ‘1 September’ in Article 35(1) and (2) is

replaced by ‘1 November’;

(b) Article 35(3) is replaced by the following:

‘3.
Once the two-month period laid down in the first
subparagraph of paragraph 2 is over, any quotas which
have not been bought by producers shall be permanently
bought back.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
