Commission Regulation (EC) No 1463/2002
of 9 August 2002
on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1110/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for table grapes will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for table grapes exported after 9 August 2002 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Applications for system B export licences for table grapes submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1110/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 9 August 2002 and before 17 September 2002, are hereby rejected.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 August 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 9 August 2002.
