on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

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
1176/2002 (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1312/2002 (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 lemons will
shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the
proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit
and vegetables sector.

(3)

To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences
for lemons exported after 31 October 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 lemons submitted
pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1312/2002, export
declarations for which are accepted after 31 October 2002 and
before 16 November 2002, are hereby rejected.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2002.

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