COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2339/80  of 8 September 1980  amending Regulation (EEC) No 818/80 laying down protective measures applicable to imports of cultivated mushrooms in brine
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2021/80 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 818/80 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 916/80 (4), laid down the protective measures applicable to imports of cultivated mushrooms in brine by adopting an import licence system to which products imported into the Community as from 15 April 1980 are subject;
Whereas, in view of the situation in the market, a small increase in the quantity which may be imported into the Community may be permitted;
Whereas, for this purpose, priority should be given to quantities in respect of which import procedures were under way when Regulation (EEC) No 818/80 was published;
Whereas this relaxation of the protective measures may quite soon result in imports of fairly large quantities of mushrooms in brine ; whereas, in order to avoid a peak of imports which could affect the market, provision should be made for setting off these imports against those which could be carried out during the coming months under the import licence arrangements laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 818/80,
