THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Whereas, under Article 14 (1) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90, levies are not charged on imports of products falling within CN codes 0714 10 90 and 0714 90 11 originating in the ACP States or in the OCT; whereas the detailed rules for the application of such arrangements should be limited to imposing an obligation to import from the ACP State or OCT indicated in the import licence the product released for free circulation and exempted from the levy, and to setting up a regular notificaiton system;
Whereas, under Article 24 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90, levies are not applied to direct imports into the French overseas departments (ODs) of products falling within CN code 0714 90 11 within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 2 000 tonnes; whereas the detailed rules for the application of such arrangements should relate to the lodging of applications for import licences and the issue of such licences and guarantee direct importation into the ODs and observance of the maximum quantity laid down; whereas, in order to comply with the objective of the measure and to ensure the management and supervision of the quota, the use of licences for release for free circulation into the abovementioned departments should be strictly limited; whereas these detailed rules either supplement or derogate from, as the case may be, 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 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90 (3), or Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 of 5 April 1989 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1105/90 (5);
Whereas, so that the actual use made of licences can be monitored better, the provision of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 on early submission of proof of release for free circulation should apply;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
