THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1047/2001(3) lays down the conditions under which applications for import licences for garlic may be lodged, and the maximum quantity that each application may cover.
(2) In order to facilitate trade and to stabilise the market, the maximum quantity of each application from traditional importers lodged every quarter for imports of garlic from a specific origin should be fixed on the basis of the annual imports previously made by those importers from that same origin rather than on the basis of the maximum quantity available.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
