THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Articles 7 and 10 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2251/92 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3148/94 (3), lays down that, in the case of imports from third countries, cases of non-compliance with Community quality standards must be notified to the Commission; whereas, at the moment, such notifications are sent to the Commission by telefax; whereas this means of transmission no longer meets the requirements of the system monitoring commercial quality; the IDES system should therefore be used as the sole means of notification to ensure a rapid transmission of documents and to allow for a statistical evaluation of the data notified;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
