Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3),  and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, in the application of Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, it is necessary to determine the quantities of certain processed fruit and vegetable products in the forecast supply balance, falling within CN code 2008 and qualifying for  exemption from duty on direct imports from third countries or for aid for consignments from the rest of the Community;
Whereas the amount of the abovementioned aid for the supply of processed fruit products to Madeira should be fixed; whereas that aid must be fixed taking account, in particular, of the cost of supply from the world market, the conditions resulting from  that region's geographical situation and current prices for exports to the latter;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1696/92 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2132/92 (5), lays down common detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to Madeira; whereas it is  appropriate to lay down additional detailed rules in line with current commercial practice in the processed fruit and vegetable products sector, in particular regarding the duration of the validity of licences and certificates and the amount of the  securities ensuring operators' compliance with their obligations;
Whereas, with a view to sound management of the supply arrangements, provision should be made for a timetable for the lodging of licence and certificate applications and for a period of reflection for their issue;
Whereas, in application of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the supply arrangements apply from 1 July 1992; whereas provision should be made for the detailed rules for their implementation to apply as soon as possible;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and Vegetables,
