COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 239/2007
of 6 March 2007
laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the requirements for communications in the banana sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular Article 29a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The common organisation of the market in bananas has been substantially amended with effect from 1 January 2007 by Council Regulation (EC) No 2013/2006 of 19 December 2006 amending Regulations (EEC) No 404/93, (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 247/2006 as regards the banana sector.
(2) In particular the rules dealing with the compensatory aid scheme have been abolished. For monitoring the operation of the banana market, it is however necessary for the Commission to continue to receive information on the production and marketing of bananas produced in the Community. Rules covering the communication of such information by the Member States should be laid down. Such communications should be comparable with the information communicated under the previous regime, whilst at the same time being simplified as far as possible. The provisions on such communications set out in Article 2(1)(d) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 of 9 December 2005 on licences under the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community in respect of bananas released into free circulation at the common customs tariff rate of duty (2) being superseded, should therefore be deleted. Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 should therefore be amended.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
