COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2613/1999
of 9 December 1999
on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2190/96 of 14 November 1996 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1303/1999(2), and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,
(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2331/1999(3), fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid;
(2) Whereas, in the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for table grapes and apples for destination groups F01 and F02 will shortly be exceeded; whereas this overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector;
(3) Whereas, to avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for table grapes and apples for destination groups F01 and F02 exported after 9 December 1999 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
