No 2267/88 (5), there is fixed within an overall Community quantity a maximum guaranteed quantity for each of the tobacco varieties or groups of varieties grown in the Community, overshooting of which gives rise to a proportional reduction in prices and  premiums; whereas these maximum guaranteed quantities are fixed every year, at the same time as prices and premiums, for a specific harvest; whereas in order to allow planting to be planned the maximum guaranteed quantity for each variety or group of  varieties should be fixed each year for the following year's harvest; whereas on the present occasion the quantities for both the 1989 and 1990 harvests should therefore be fixed;

Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 is hereby amended as follows:
1.  The first subparagraph of Article 4 (5) shall read:
'The Council, acting as indicated in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty, shall lay down every year, for each tobacco variety or group of varieties produced in the Community for which prices and premiums are fixed, a maximum guaranteed quantity for the  following year's harvest, taking into account the market situation and the socio-economic and agricultural situation in the areas concerned. The Council shall set the maximum guaranteed quantities for the 1990 harvest at the same time as for the 1989  harvest. The overall maximum quantity for the Community is set for each of the 1988, 1989 and 1990 harvests at 385 000 tonnes of leaf tobacco.'
2.  The following subparagraph is inserted after the first subparagraph of Article 4 (5).

COUNCIL DECISION  of 19 December 1991  postponing the date on which the national provisions applying Directive 89/104/EEC to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks are to be put into effect  (92/10/EEC)
THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the First Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (1), and in particular Article 16 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/104/EEC, Member States are to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the Directive not later than 28 December 1991;
Whereas pursuant to Article 16 (2) of that Directive, on a proposal from the Commission, the Council, acting by qualified majority, may defer the date referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article until 31 December 1992 at the latest;
Whereas this exceptional provision was included in the said Directive to ensure, if necessary, that the date of the putting into effect of the national provisions applying the Directive should, as far as possible, be aligned with the date as from which  it would be possible for Community trade mark applications to be filed;
Whereas the Commission's proposal for a Council Regulation on the Community trade mark (1) has not yet been adopted; whereas it is expected that the said Regulation will be adopted shortly;
Whereas it seems therefore appropriate to postpone until 31 December 1992 the date provided for in Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/104/EEC, so that the objective referred to above may be the more easily pursued;
Whereas the objectives set for the completion of the internal market continue to be respected notwithstanding this postponement,
The date set in Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/104/EEC shall be replaced by 31 December 1992.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
