COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 692/2004

of 15 April 2004

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

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28
October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in
fruit and vegetables (1),

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 (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2214/2003 (3) fixes the
indicative quantities for which system B export licences
may be issued.

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 tomatoes

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 tomatoes after 15 April 2004 should be rejected
until the end of the current export period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
