THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3518/93 (2), and in particular Articles 18 (1) and 20 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1299/94 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community;
Whereas Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 provides for an increase in the annual tariff quota of 2 000 000 tonnes (net weight) in line with the demand for bananas in the Community as determined by a forecast supply balance; whereas latter shows  the need for an increase in the tariff quota for 1994;
Whereas that increase in the tariff quota for 1994 calls for a new period to be set for the submission of applications and the issuing of import licences for bananas during the fourth quarter; whereas operators should also be given the possibility,  during that period, of submitting licence applications for the reallocation of quantities covered by licences which have not been used;
Whereas, in the case of operators in categories A, B and C, additional import licence applications to be submitted in respect of the tariff quota in October 1994 cannot cover a quantity greater than the difference between the annual quantity allocated  to the operator as revised following the adjustment in the corrective coefficients in accordance with Commission Regulations (EC) No 2350/94 (5) and (EC) No 2351/94 (6) and the sum of the quantities covered by licences issued for 1994;
Whereas this Regulation should enter into force immediately in order to permit additional licence applications to be submitted in respect of 1994;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
