THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 of 18 May 1982 laying down special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1104/88 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2904/89 of 25 September 1989 extending Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 adopting general rules concerning special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins (3), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 (4) amending Regulation (EEC) No 2036/85 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1789/89 (6), introduces in Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 the new concept of identification and the procedures and time limits for that operation; whereas those provisions substantially amend the existing procedures, thereby justifying the authorization, granted to the Commission in Article 2 of abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85, to adopt the necessary transitional measures; whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/85 (7) lays down those measures and limits their validity to 31 December 1985; whereas it has transpired that after that date operators have continued to experience difficulties in adapting to the new rules in circumstances where the control measures have shown that the operators concerned were not at fault, apart from a failure to comply with the time limit laid down for the submission of applications for the identification of the products; whereas those difficulties may have been aggravated by the entry into force on 1 January 1986 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 of 5 December 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3870/88 (9), in particular as regards the arrangements for identification laid down by abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85; whereas a measure derogating from the rules laid down in Article 32 of Regulation (EEC) No 3450/85, pursuant to the new arrangements on identification provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85 was adopted in Article 1 (12) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2462/86 of 31 July 1986 (9) amending Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 as regards January, February and March 1986; whereas, however, difficulties of this type continued to arise until the end of 1987; whereas, as a consequence, in accordance with the authorization pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2904/89 to extend the transitional measures provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1832/85, the period during which the application for identification may be deemed to have been submitted on the day of entry of the products into the undertaking should be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Dried Fodder,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/85, '31 December 1985' is hereby replaced by '31 December 1987'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
