Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87 of
21 December 1987 fixing conditions for the application of

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
order to take account of the agreements approved by
Council Decisions 2003/917/EC of 22 December 2003
on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an

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
22 December 2003 on the conclusion of an Agreement
in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the
European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco

concerning reciprocal
replacement of Protocols 1 and 3 to the EC-Morocco
Association Agreement (4) and 2005/4/EC of 22 Decem-
ber 2004 on the conclusion of the Agreement in the
form of an Exchange of Letters between the European
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
