Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 provides for a forecast supply balance to be drawn  up each year on the basis of a number of market parameters; whereas the main purpose of the supply  balance is to establish the outlook for Community production and consumption and the forecast for  imports of traditional ACP bananas, and hence the supply requirements for the Community market and  the requisite tariff quota;
Wheras the supply balance should in accordance with Article 16 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93,  take account of the impact of tropical storm Debbie, which seriously affected production in  Martinique, Guadeloupe and certain ACP States up to July 1995, and the effects of storms Iris, Luis  and Marilyn which struck the region during August and September 1995;
Whereas the supply balance also includes an additional quantity of 353  000 tonnes fixed as part of  the transitional measures for the supply of bananas to the Austrian, Finnish and Swedish markets as  a result of the accession of those three countries;
Whereas the Management Committee for bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set  by its chairman,
