COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1707/90
of 22 June 1990
laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 on imports of preserved cultivated mushrooms from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 of 30 June 1981 on measures applicable to imports of preserved cultivated mushrooms (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 lays down that the quantity which may be imported free from the additional amount must be allocated amongst the supplier countries, account being taken of traditional trade flows and of new suppliers;
Whereas, as the Commission will, in due course, have information on quantities actually imported over a particular period of the year, it should be provided that the quantities allocated may be revised at the end of the first half of the year on the basis of such information; whereas, in order to avoid a break in the continuity of trade with a supplier country before the overall quantity has been used up, it is appropriate to establish a reserve;
Whereas, in order to ensure the consistent application of this Regulation, the term 'cultivated mushrooms' must be defined;
Whereas, in agreement with certain supplier countries, entry into free circulation is subject to the provision of specific documents issued by those countries;
Whereas it is appropriate to establish certain rules to guarantee that the quantities exceeding those laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 are subject to the levying of an additional amount; whereas these rules must in particular cover the issuing of licences after a time sufficient to enable the checking of the quantities and the necessary communications by Member States; whereas these rules either supplement or derogate from the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2405/89 of 1 August 1989 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences and advance fixing certificates for products processed from fruit and vegetables (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 619/90 (3), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (5);
Whereas, to ensure better monitoring of imports, regular communication by Member States of the quantities for which certificates have not been used is necessary;
Whereas this Regulation replaces Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3433/81 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3933/88 (7); whereas that Regulation must be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
