Having regard to the Traty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 824/88 (2), lays down that, unless an extension is decided upon, Class III may not be applied beyond the fifth year following the date of entry into force of the Regulation (EEC) No 2764/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3975/86 (4), has extended until 30 April 1988 the period during which the marketing of products of Class III may be authorized;
Whereas in order to achieve a balance between supply and demand and promote quality, the marketing of Class III products should be considered only in special circumstances with regard to the harvest, or if new quality standards are being introduced;
Whereas, with the same goal, provision should be made for altering the quality requirements or the minimum sizes of products eligible for marketing in the Community if supply tends to exceed demand during the marketing year concerned,
