Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 216/2001(2),

Whereas:
(1) Under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, in the light of the total quantities available under tariff quotas A/B and C and of the information received from the Member States on the sum of the reference quantities established for traditional operators A/B and for traditional operators C respectively in accordance with Article 4(1) and (2) of that Regulation, the Commission is to set, where appropriate, a single adjustement coefficient to be applied to each operator's reference quantity.
