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 African, Caribbean and Pacific States  (1), extended by Regulation (EEC) No 444/92 (2), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provide for the opening by the Community of quotas for imports of the following:
- 1 000 tonnes of fresh apples falling within CN code 0808 10, for the period 1 January to 31 December, and
- 1 000 tonnes of fresh pears falling within CN codes 0808 20 10 to 0808 20 39, for the period 1 January to 31 December,
originating in the countries in question;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure that all Community importers enjoy equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quotas and that the rates laid down for those quotas should apply consistently to all imports of the products  concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up; whereas, in the present case, it would appear advisable not to allocate the quotas among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volumes of such  quantities as they may need, under the conditions and according to the procedures specified in Article 3;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the quotas may be carried  out by any of its members;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
