Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra` class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1995 marketing year a variation of the same order as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes for the 1996 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Until the end of the 1996 marketing year, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ecus per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:
>TABLE>
The producers' organizations shall supply the following information to the national authorities, who shall communicate it to the Commission:
- the period during which withdrawal prices are available,
- the levels of withdrawal prices proposed and of those applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Article 3 of Directive 93/102/EC states that Member States shall, if appropriate, amend their laws, regulations and administrative provisions so that they prohibit trade in products not complying with the Directive with effect from 30 June 1996;
Whereas trade in products labelled before that date whose list of ingredients states the name of a category of ingredients not appearing in the Directive 93/102/EC is not permitted after that date;
Whereas relabelling of the foodstuffs is difficult to envisage technically and a clause providing for disposal of stocks labelled before the transposition deadline therefore needs to be included;
Whereas the measures laid down by this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The following sentence shall be added to Article 3, second paragraph, second indent, of Directive 93/102/EC:
'However, trade in products placed on the market or labelled before that date and not complying with this Directive shall be permitted for as long as stocks last`.

Whereas detailed implementing rules on the definition, description and presentation of spirit drinks are laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1014/90 of 24 April 1990 (2); whereas, in order to protect from unfair competition certain terms added  to the sales designation of a number of spirit drinks made by traditional methods, these terms should be restricted to the spirit drinks defined in the Annex to this Regulation;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No  3230/90   of 5 November 1990   increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1990  for newsprint
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular  Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for  the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650  000 tonnes, of which 600  000 tonnes are reserved,  until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products from Canada, in accordance with Article  XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the  obligation to increase, by 5  %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the  event that that part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of  650  000 tonnes was opened for 1990 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3380/89  (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for  importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600  000 tonnes;  whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for these imports should be increased, therefore,  by 30  000 tonnes,
The volume of the Community tariff  quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3380/89 for newsprint from Canada shall be increased from 600   000 tonnes to 630  000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh  day following 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.
