COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2229/85
of 2 August 1985
on protective measures applicable to imports of certain Morello cherries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegeteables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 746/85 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 of 14 June 1985 on protective measures applicable to imports of certain Morello cherries (3), has amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1712/85 (4), introduced protective measures applicable to Morello cherries, frozen or otherwise preserved, namely the imposition of a countervailing charge on products for which a minimum import price was not respected; whereas these measures do not appear to have attained their purpose of permitting disposal of fresh Morello cherries grown in the Community, harvesting of which is going on at the present time, to the processing industry on reasonable price terms to growers;
Whereas, since the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 import licences have been requested for large quantities of Morello cherries;
Whereas in the circumstances the Community market is threatened with serious disturbance liable to endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty; whereas it is necessary to suspend temporarily the issuing of licences for certain Morello cherries;
