THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1200/88 of 28 April 1988 establishing a surveillance mechanism for imports of fresh sour cherries originating in Yugoslavia (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1200/88 provides in particular for a system of import licences to ensure the proper application of the agreement concluded with Yugoslavia on its exports of fresh sour cherries to the Community; whereas the special rules governing that system should be laid down;
Whereas exceptions to certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 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 2082/87 (3), should be made to avoid exceeding the quantities fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 1200/88;
Whereas import licences are issued using the most detailed CN code; whereas the combined nomenclature comprises two codes according to the periods of importation of sour cherries; whereas provision should accordingly be made for the issue of import licences for the two CN codes concerned; whereas, however, the period of validity of licences take into account the time for transporting the product to the Community;
Whereas, in order to ensure the proper operation of this system, provision should be made for weekly notification by the Member States of the quantities for totally or partly unused licences;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
