COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 717/93 of 26 March 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3076/78 on the importation of hops from non-member countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 June 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3124/92 (2), and in particular Article 5 (3) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3076/78 of 21 December 1978 on the importation of hops from non-member countries (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2940/92 (4), hops imported from non-member countries must be accompanied by an attestation of equivalence; whereas a temporary derogation - in the form of a control attestation - is given to certain countries not listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 of 21 December 1978 on the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from non-member countries (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2238/91 (6); whereas these control attestations provide only very little information as regards the characteristics of the product and no information at all on its origin and year of harvest; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for hops imported with a control attestation and hop products prepared from such hops not to be covered by a certification procedure;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
