THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1943/91 (2), and in particular Article 15 (4)  thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 of 30 June 1981 on measures applicable to imports of preserved cultivated mushrooms (3), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas experience gained from the application of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3718/90 (5), shows that the specific terms for the issue of import licences for products subject to this system should  be made more flexible; whereas an extension to the validity of import licences should help to ensure a more regular flow of trade throughout the year;
Whereas under Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90 the entry into free circulation of preserved cultivated mushrooms originating in the People's Republic of China, South Korea and Taiwan is subject to the provision of a certificate of origin issued  by the competent authorities referred to in Annex IV to that Regulation; whereas South Korea and Taiwan have authorized new competent authorities; whereas Annex IV should be amended accordingly;
Whereas, in the interests of clarity, all provisions which are no longer applicable should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
