COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 736/87
of 13 March 1987
suspending advance fixing of the import levy for certain cereals
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1579/86 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 15 (7) thereof,
Whereas Article 15 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides that the provisions concerning advance fixing of the levy may be suspended if the market situation shows that the application of these provisions is causing or is likely to cause difficulties;
Whereas there is a danger that, if arrangements are adhered to, levies could be fixed in advance in the short term for quantities considerably in excess of the quantities which might be expected under more normal conditions;
Whereas the above situation requires that application of the provisions concerning advance fixing of levies for the product concerned be temporarily suspended,
Advance fixing of the import levy for certain cereals falling within subheadings 10.07 B, C II and D II of the Common Customs Tariff is suspended from 14 to 17 March 1987 inclusive.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 March 1987.

Whereas:

(4) The other Member States have been informed thereof.
