COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3519/93 of 21 December 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2193/92 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (2), 12 (6), 13 (6) and 21 thereof and the corresponding provisions of the other regulations on the common organization of the markets in agricultural products,
Whereas application of the principle of proportionality makes it necessary to amend immediately certain rules on the final settlement of licences and certificates issued under special circumstances; whereas the penalties for delays in providing proof of the use of the licences and certificates concerned must be varied according to whether the licences and certificates have been used in full or in part;
Whereas application of the rules on the lodging of securities covering the issue of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates entails, for certain low-volume operations, administrative burdens which are unjustified in view of their minor significance; whereas, as a result, it is desirable to make the system more flexible;
Whereas, in the light of experience gained, it is necessary to tighten the conditions for issuing certificates which are applied for with a view to an open invitation to tender in an importing third country;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1963/93 (4), should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of all the relevant Management Committees,
