Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3438/92 (3) lays down special measures for the transport of certain fresh fruit and vegetables originating in Greece dispatched in the period 1992 to 1995 to Member States other than Italy, Spain and Portugal;
Whereas, since transport conditions in certain territories of the former Yugoslavia continue to be poor despite the cessation of hostilities in the region, provision should be made for gradual phasing out and to extend these measures, covering temporary assistance to the operators involved in avoiding those territories, for a period of one year,
