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 organization  of the market in bananas  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94  (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 of 10 June 1993 laying down detailed rules  for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community  (3), as last  amended by Regulation (EC) No 1164/95  (4), and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 478/95 of 1 March 1995 on additional rules for the  application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the tariff quota arrangements for  imports of bananas into the Community and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93  (5), as amended by  Regulation (EC) No 702/95  (6), and in particular Article 4 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2234/95 of 21 September 1995 on the issuing of  import licences for bananas under the tariff quota for the fourth quarter of 1995 and on the  submission of new applications  (7), as corrected by Regulation (EC) No 2329/95  (8), fixes the  quantities available for new licence applications under the tariff quota during the fourth quarter  of 1995; whereas Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 478/95 lays down that the quantities for which  licences may be issued for the origin(s) concerned must be determined without delay;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 lays down that, where, in the case of a given  quarter and origin, for a country or group of countries referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC)  No 478/95, the quantities covered by import licence applications from one or more of the categories  of operators exceed the quantity available, a reduction percentage is to be applied to applications  for that origin;
Whereas the quantities applied for for Cameroon exceed the quantity available and a reduction  coefficient should therefore be applied; whereas applications for import licences submitted by  category B operators for Costa Rica must be rejected since there are no longer quantities available  for new applications for that origin and that category of operators; whereas import licences may be  issued for the quantity referred to in all other new applications;
Whereas this Regulation should apply immediately to permit licences to be issued as quickly as  possible,
Import licences shall be issued under the tariff quota for the import  of bananas during the fourth quarter 1995 against new applications as referred to in Article 4 (1)  of Regulation (EC) No 478/95:
(a)  for the quantity indicated in the new licence application multiplied by a reduction  coefficient of 0,989300 for Cameroon;
(b)  for the quantity indicated in the new licence application where it refers to an origin other  than that referred to in point (a) above.
New applications from category B operators for Costa Rica shall be rejected.
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.
