of 6 February 2008

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1182/2007 of 26
September 2007 laying down specific rules as regards the fruit

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1979/2006 (2) requires
the possession of a certificate of origin for the import of
preserved mushrooms originating in China under the
GATT quota.

The certificates of origin were introduced in order to
ensure a fair allocation of the quota to the different
supplier countries.

Due to changes in the market currently only one supplier
country, China has a country-specific allocation laid
down in Regulation (EC) No 1979/2006. All other

supplier countries fall into the category of ‘Other third
countries’. The utilisation rate of the quota allocated to
‘Other third countries’ is very low.

The certificates of origin are therefore superfluous and
should be abolished for simplification purposes.

Regulation (EC) No 1979/2006 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural
Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 11 and Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1979/2006 are
hereby deleted.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following
its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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