COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1005/93 of 28 April 1993 introducing transitional measures regarding the allocation of quotas in the tobacco sector for the 1993 harvest in Greece
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 institutes a system of processing quotas for the various groups of tobacco varieties; whereas the quantities available by group of varieties are allocated among the Member States by Council Regulation  (EEC) No 2076/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the premiums for leaf tobacco by group of tobacco varieties and the processing quotas allocated by group of varieties and by Member State (2);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 648/93 (4), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the quota system for the 1993 and 1994 harvests; whereas it appears that quantities of quotas for  certain groups of varieties may remain available in Greece after the distribution of the quantities to those who can claim entitlement to same; whereas, on the other hand, the quota for the flue-cured may provide prove be insufficient; whereas this  shortage may nullify the conversion programmes approved before 1 January 1992 but not yet executed on that date;
Whereas pursuant to Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92, Greece should be authorized, on a temporary basis and only for the 1993 harvest, to transfer quantities of its quotas which will remain available following allocation, in accordance  with the provisions of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92, to the flue-cured group of varieties;
Whereas the increase in the quota of a group of varieties as a result of this transfer must not lead to additional EAGGF expenditure;
Whereas this Regulation must be applied from the date prescribed by Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92 for the allocation of the quotas;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
