COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 702/95 of 30 March  1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 478/95 on additional rules for the application of Council  Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the tariff quota arrangements for imports of bananas into the  Community and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 (Text with EEA relevance)
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization  of the market in bananas  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94  (2), and in  particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (1) (a) and (b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 478/95  (3), lays down that  when, for one or more given origins, a reduction coefficient is applied, an operator who has  submitted an application for an import licence for the origin or origins in question may either  refuse the issue of a licence for a reduced quantity or, for a quantity less than or equal to the  quantity applied for but not covered by the licence issued, submit a new application for origins to  which no coefficient reduction is applicable within five working days of the publication of the  regulation fixing the reducing coefficient;
Whereas in view of the applications submitted by those in the trade, a longer time limit should be  laid down for exercising one of the above options; whereas this must allow the operators involved  to find other suppliers under favourable conditions for the origins for which quantities remain  available for the quarter in question;
Whereas provision should be made for the immediate application of this Regulation so that the  operators who have submitted applications for import licences for the second quarter of 1995 can  benefit from these provisions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Bananas,
