The prices at which preserved mushrooms are offered in the main supplier
countries are much below the Community cost price and the quantities
available for export in" those countries are such that they are Liable to
disturb the Community market *

Confronted with this situation , the Commission has since 1978 had to take
various protective measures .
It has now become apparent that the circumstances which led to the taking of
those protective measures are not likely to change in the near future . Those
measures do not therefore , in themselves / constitute an adequate means of
remedying the situation .
In the circumstances , provision should be made for a measure of market management
to deal with the situation . The purpose of this Regulation is to introduce such
a measure , consisting in the levying of an additional amount on all imports
into the Community exceeding the quantities traditionally traded .

                        COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
        on measures applicable to imports of preserved mushrooms
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 516/ 77 of 14 March 1977 on
the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit
               1                                                2
and vegetables , as amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 3454 / 80 , and in
particular Article 13 ( 2 ) thereof /
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas the prices at which preserved mushrooms are offered in the main
supplier countries are substantially lower than the cost price of the
Community industry and the quantities available in those countries are
such that they are liable' to disturb the Community market ;
Whereas , confronted with this situation , the Commission has on several
occasions since 1978 had to take protective measures with regard to
                                                             4»
imports of preserved mushrooms ;

20J No C 360 of 31.12.1980, p. 16.

Whereas it appears that        this     state of affairs is not likely to change
in the near future and that the protective measures which have been taken do
not / in themselves , constitute the- most suitable means of remedying the
situation ;
                                           i
Whereas provision should therefore be made for measures         of market management
consisting in the levying of an additional amount on all imports into the
Community exceeding the quantities traditionally traded ;                       1
Whereas in view of the characteristics          of non-member countries' supplies to
the Community , its market may be protected by fixing the additional amount
at a level corresponding to that of the cost of production in the Member State
which is the most representative of Community production ;
Whereas , given the very small volume of imports of products originating in
the Maghreb countries and the ACP States and the preferential treatment
which the Community offers those countries and States , no additional amount
should be levied on those., imports,,
                              HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
       t                                     «•  • •     •
Save in the cases referred to in Article 4 , an additional amount shall be
levied on all preserved mushrooms , falling within subheading 20,02 A of the
Common Customs Tariff , enterihg into free circulation in the Community ,
in excess of the quantities established pursuant to Article 3 .
   Article 2
 "                               f
   1 . The additional amount is hereby fixed- at 175 ECU per 100 kilograms net .
 ---pagebreak--- 2.     This amount shall , as necessary, be adjusted in the light of the trend
in the quantities imported in excess of those determined in accordance with Article 3
and of the trend in the production cost of Community products .
Article 3
       The quantities referred to in Article 1 shall each year be fixed and
allocated among the supplier countries , account being taken of traditional
Community trade flows and, in an appropriate manner, of any new suppliers .
Article 4
       All imports from Maghreb' countries and from AC.P States shall be exempt
from the application of this Regulation on condition that the product originates
in the country or State concerned and is accompanied by the movement certificate issued
in accordance with the provisions of the Protocol concerning the definition
of the concept of "originating products " and methods of administrative cooperation
annexed to the Preferential Agreements concluded with those countries and States .
However, should there be a substantial increase in imports , a decision
may be taken in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 20 of
Regulation (EEC ) No 516/77 tOTapply to those imports the arrangements provided
for in this Regulation subject to the agreements concluded with those countries
and States . ,                                     ;
Article 5
       Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular as
regards the fixing of the quantities referred to in Article 1 and their
allocation, shall be laid down in accordance with the procedure provided for
in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC ) No 516/77 . Any adjustment of the additional
amount shall be made in accordance with the same procedure .
Article 6
       This Regulation shall enter into force on 1          1981 .
This Regulation shall be binding in Its entirety and directly applicable in
all Member States.'
