COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3994/88  of 21 December 1988  amending Regulation (EEC) No 890/78 laying down detailed rules for the certification of hops
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3998/87 (2), and in particular Article 2 (5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 890/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3589/85 (4), stipulates that only hops complying with the definition in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 and the minimum marketing requirements laid down  in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 890/78 may obtain the certificate referred to in Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1784/77 of 19 July 1977 concerning the certification of hops (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2039/85 (6);
Whereas experience has shown that it is impossible to exclude the presence of particles of other varieties of hops in samples; whereas that fact does not impair the characteristics of the product to be certified; whereas very small quantities of such  particles should therefore be allowed; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 890/78 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
