COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1305/95 of 8 June 1995 adopting certain transitional measures  relating to the entry price arrangements applicable to cucumbers for processing
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and  transitional arrangements required in the agricultural sector in order to implement the agreements  concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations  (1), and in particular  Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87  (2), as last amended by Commission  Regulation (EC) No 3115/94  (3), contains in part 3, section I, Annex 2 in the combined  nomenclature the list of products to which an entry price applies and also, in respect of those  products, the scale of entry prices used for the tariff classification of imported products and for  determining the import duties applicable; whereas the entry price arrangements were introduced into  the fruit and vegetables sector as a result of the agreement on agriculture concluded during the  Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations; whereas application of the said entry prices in  the case of cucumbers for processing can represent an excessive burden for the industry and thus  hinder trade and bring about a disturbance on the Community market;
Whereas the period of importation for cucumbers for processing commences on 1 May; whereas, until  the Council adopts a measure reducing the entry prices for the product in question, it is necessary  to adopt certain transitional measures in order to allow the industry to be supplied and trade to  operate under normal conditions; whereas it is necessary therefore to derogate from Regulation  (EEC) No 2658/87 and to make these transitional measures applicable from 1 May 1995; whereas,  pursuant to Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, their period of application under this  Regulation may not extend beyond 30 June 1996;
Whereas the entry prices to be determined for this product must take into account the average unit  values recorded in trade over a representative period; whereas the ad valorem autonomous rates of  duty for the product should be reduced also to the same level as the ad valorem conventional rates  of duty;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
