Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2598/95 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (6), 3 (5) and 4 (5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 131/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2596/93 (4), provides that the exemption from import duties provided for in Title I of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 is to apply subject to presentation of an import licence issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2137/95 (6);
Whereas the Council, in amending Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 by Regulation (EC) No 2598/95, extended the scope of the specific supply arrangements for products whose importation into the Community is not subject to presentation of an import licence; whereas, as a result, it is necessary to introduce a document that can be used for the system of exemption from import duties for such products; whereas the import licence form can be used for that purpose as exemption certificate; whereas, to that end, Regulation (EEC) No 131/92 should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees concerned,
