COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 686/95  of 28 March 1995 extending Regulation (EEC) No 737/90 on the conditions governing imports of  agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl  nuclear power-station
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 737/90  (1) fixed, for agricultural products originating in third  countries and intended for human consumption, maximum permitted levels of radioactivity with which  imports must comply and in connection with which checks are carried out by the Member States;  whereas the said Regulation is to apply only until 31 March 1995;
Whereas the reasons prevailing when the said Regulation was adopted are still valid, because  radioactive contamination of certain agricultural products originating in the third countries worst  affected by the accident still exceeds the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity laid down in  that Regulation;
Whereas Council Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87  (2) laid down maximum permitted levels of  radioactive contamination of foodstuffs and of feedingstuffs following a nuclear accident or any  other case of radiological emergency; whereas it is necessary, in such situations, to ensure  consistency of any measures implemented;
Whereas it is advisable to extend Regulation (EEC) No 737/90,
