Under Articles 2(2) and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No
4088/87, Community import and producer prices are
fixed each fortnight for uniflorous (bloom) carnations,
multiflorous (spray) carnations, large-flowered roses and
small-flowered roses and apply for two-week periods.
Under Article 1(b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No
700/88 of 17 March 1988 laying down detailed rules for
the application of the arrangements for the import into
the Community of certain floricultural products origi-
nating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and the West
Bank and the Gaza Strip (2), those prices are determined
for two-week periods on the basis of weighted prices
provided by the Member States.

Those prices should be fixed immediately so the customs
duties applicable can be determined.

Following the accession of Cyprus to the European
Union on 1 May 2004, it is no longer necessary to fix
import prices for Cyprus.

Likewise, it is no longer necessary to fix import prices for
Israel, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in

Exchange of Letters between the European Community
and the State of Israel concerning reciprocal liberalisation
measures and the replacement of Protocols 1 and 2 to
the EC-Israel Association Agreement (3), 2003/914/EC of

ber 2004 on the conclusion of the Agreement in the

Community and the Palestine Liberation Organisation
(PLO) for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority of the
West Bank and the Gaza Strip concerning reciprocal
liberalisation measures and the replacement of Proto-
cols 1 and 2 to the EC-Palestinian Authority Interim
