COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3483/93 of 17 December 1993 on the issuing of licences for traditional imports of bananas originating in the ACP States for the first quarter of 1994
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 organization of the market in bananas (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 of 10 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3297/93 (3), and in particular
Article 16
(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 provides that where the quantities of bananas originating in one and the same ACP State listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for which import licences are applied for exceed the  indicative quantity fixed for the period in question, the Commission is to set a single reduction percentage to all licence applications mentioning that country of origin;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3298/93 (4) fixes indicative quantities for imports of bananas into the Community for the first quarter of 1994 for imports originating in the ACP States under the traditional quantities imported;
Whereas, for Cameroon, the quantities requested for traditional imports of ACP bananas during the first quarter of 1994 are higher than the quantities fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 3298/93; whereas, as a result, a single reduction percentage should be  fixed for each application indicating this country or origin pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93;
Whereas this Regulation should take effect without delay in order to allow licences to be issued as quickly as possible,
