COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 256/95 of 8 February 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements applicable to the importation into the Community of sheepmeat and goatmeat products originating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia up to 30 June 1995
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3125/92 of 26 October 1992 on the arrangements applicable to the importation into the Community of sheepmeat and goatmeat products originating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3125/92 partly suspends the administration of the import arrangements laid down in the 1981 Agreement between the Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on trade in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector (2) and of the 1990 Adjustment Agreement (3) and provides, on a temporary basis, for the exclusive administration of the arrangements by the Community, with the quantities agreed in that Agreement being distributed among the new Republics created from that Republic; whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3125/92 provides that detailed rules are to be adopted for this new administration;
Whereas steps should be taken, to that end, to determine the distribution of the quantities among the various Republics and the procedures to be followed for the issue of import licences and in particular the model to be used for the document showing the origin of the quantities;
Whereas, however, no quantities should be fixed for Serbia and Montenegro for as long as the prohibition provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 990/93 (4), remains in force;
Whereas application of these import arrangements should be limited to 30 June 1995 pending the entry into force from 1 July 1995 of the new arrangements to be applied in accordance with the decisions taken under the GATT (Uruguay Round);
Whereas the 1981 Agreement between the Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia provided for a limitation of experts to Greece during certain sensitive periods; whereas similar agreements with other third countries also provide for such a limitation; whereas such agreements have been extended until 30 June 1995;
Whereas the sound management of the market as well as certain specified problems linked to the imports from the Republics of former Yugoslavia pending the classification of relations with the countries in question, require that, by way of exceptional measures, a limitation be placed during sensitive periods, on exports to Greece; whereas these restrictions shall be strictly limited to 30 June 1995;
Whereas steps should be taken also to determine the authorities issuing the document showing the origin of the quantities in the various Republics;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
