THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/78 (2), and in particular Article 21 (4) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1766/78 amended Article 21 (1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 by extending the sale of blood oranges withdrawn from the market to the processing industry beyond the 1977/78, 1978/79 and 1979/80 marketing years ; whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2448/77 of 8 November 1977 laying down conditions for the disposal of oranges withdrawn from the market to the processing industry and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (3) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2448/77 provides that the security lodged by the successful tenderer or bidder shall be at least equal to the difference between 90 % of the arithmetical mean of the prices at which category III products may be withdrawn from the market and the selling price to the successful tenderer ; whereas, since oranges of this category cannot be withdrawn from the market unless they are marketable as fresh products, the security should be calculated on the basis of the lowest category which may be marketed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
