THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2314/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (8) and 14 (5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1430/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 272/96 (4), fixes the quantities eligible for export licences, other than those applied for in the context of food aid;

Whereas, to ensure more dynamic exports of provisionally preserved cherries and preserved cherries, the refund rates for these products should be increased and the proposed quantities reduced as a consequence, within the budget limits originally laid down;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 462/96 of 11 March 1996 suspending Regulations (EEC) No 990/93 and (EC) No 2471/94, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 2472/94 and (EC) No 2815/95, concerning the interruption of economic and financial relations with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), the United Nations protected areas in the Republic of Croatia and those areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the control of Bosnian Serb forces (7), effectively suspends Regulation (EEC) No 990/93; whereas the reference to the latter Regulation in the footnotes to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1430/95 should therefore no longer stand;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
