COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2519/98 of 24 November 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 on rules of application (cereals sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas provisions on the treatment of cereals imported into the Community are set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2092/97 (4);
Whereas, in view of experience in applying the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 and to improve the clarity and applicability of certain provisions, there is a need to adjust this text, particularly some aspects of a technical nature relating to the representative cif import price to be used as a basis for calculating the corresponding import duty in the provisions on imports of durum wheat with a vitreous grain content of between 60 and 73 %; whereas Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 should therefore be amended; whereas, to avoid problems for operators, these amendments shall apply solely to import certificates issued from the date this Regulation enters into force;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
