COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1689/2002

of 25 September 2002

determining the extent to which applications lodged in September 2002 for licences for certain
eggs and poultrymeat products under the regime provided for by the Interim Agreements

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1899/97, of
29 September 1997, setting rules of application in the poultry-
meat and egg sectors for the arrangements covered by the
Europe Agreements with central and east European countries
provided for by Council Regulations (EC) No 1727/2000, (EC)
No 2290/2000, (EC) No 2433/2000, (EC) No 2434/2000, (EC)
No 2435/2000 and (EC) No 2851/2000 and repealing Regula-
tions (EEC) No 2699/93 and (EC) No 1559/94 (1), as amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2001 (2) and in particular Article
4(5) thereof,

Whereas:

The applications for import
licences lodged for the fourth
quarter of 2002 are, in the case of some products, for quantities
less than or equal to the quantities available and can therefore
be met in full, but in the case of other products the said appli-
cations are for quantities greater than the quantities available

and must therefore be reduced by a fixed percentage to ensure
a fair distribution,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1.
Applications for import licences for the period 1 October
to 31 December 2002 submitted under Regulation (EC) No
1899/97 shall be met as referred to in the Annex to this Regu-
lation.

2.
Applications for import licences for the period 1 January
to 31 March 2003 may be lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC)
No 1899/97 for the total quantity as referred to in the Annex
to this Regulation.
