COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2631/98 of 8 December 1998 laying down for 1999 the quantities for which the annual allocations for 'newcomer` operators are granted under the tariff quotas for traditional ACP bananas
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1637/98 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 of 28 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 regarding imports of bananas into the Community (3), and in particular Articles 9(3) and 28(3) thereof,
Whereas Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 lays down the method for calculating the annual allocation for each 'newcomer` operator; whereas, in accordance with that method and a ranking of the individual applications in increasing order of the quantities applied for, the Commission calculates the quantities for which the annual allocations shall be granted;
Whereas, the notifications received in accordance with Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 have led the Commission to adopt this Regulation, based on which the competent national authorities will establish the individual allocations for the operators in question and notify them accordingly; whereas the final date for these notifications should be specified so that the provisions of Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 on the introduction of the licence applications can be complied with for the first quarter of 1999;
Whereas, however, the changes to the arrangements for the importation of bananas into the Community introduced by Regulations (EC) No 1637/98 and (EC) No 2362/98, in particular as regards the definition of 'newcomers`, require the national authorities, in cooperation with the Commission, to carry out verifications and checks that cannot be completed before the start of 1999; whereas these operations may result in a further correction of this Regulation and corrections of the annual allocations for the 'newcomer` operators; whereas, in particular, the annual allocations calculated by the national authorities pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 and this Regulation will not constitute vested rights or be invoked by the operators as legitimate expectations;
Whereas this Regulation must enter into force immediately, given the time limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2362/98,
In the case of the tariff quotas and traditional ACP bananas referred to in Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, the national authorities shall establish, for 1999, the annual allocations for the 'newcomer` operators referred to in Articles 7 et seq. of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98, in accordance with the Annex hereto and shall notify the newcomers accordingly no later than 10 December 1998.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden [1], was signed on 22 July 1972 and entered into force on 1 January 1973;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1154/95 of 22 May 1995 adopting a protective measure applying to imports of garlic originating in Vietnam
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 997/95 (2), and in particular Article 29 (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2707/72 (3) lays down the conditions for applying protective measures for fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 of 12 July 1993 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (5), the release for free circulation in the Community of garlic imported from third countries is subject to the presentation of import licences;
Whereas on 19 May 1995 the Kingdom of Spain requested the Commission to take protective measures against imports of garlic;
Whereas, in the wake of the protective measure applicable to imports of garlic originating in China adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/94 of 27 May 1994 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2815/94 (7), the Commission observed a sharp rise in applications for import licences for garlic originating in Vietnam; whereas, in view of the fact that the continuation of such imports and the very low prices at which they were offered could have brought about serious disturbance on the Community market in garlic, the Commission suspended the issuing of import licences for garlic originating in Vietnam by Regulation (EC) No 2091/94 (8);
Whereas the factors that led the Commission to take this measure still apply and a further protective measure should be adopted; whereas the pressure of imports of garlic originating in China has by no means abated and there is therefore reason to fear that quantities covered by applications for import licences for garlic originating in Vietnam may continue to far exceed traditional imports from that country,
The issuing of import licences for garlic (CN code 0703 20 00) originating in Vietnam as referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 is hereby suspended until 31 May 1996.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
