COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1859/93 of 12 July 1993 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 746/93 (2), and in particular Article 22b thereof,

Whereas the most suitable means of achieving that objective is to introduce a system of import licences requiring a set period to elapse between the submission of the application and the actual issuance of the licence and entailing the lodging of a security reflecting the value of the product, in order to ensure compliance by operators with their obligations; whereas the term of validity of licences must take account of the features of the market for the product concerned;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2101/92 (4), should apply;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Garlic (CN code 0703 20 00) shall be released for free circulation in the Community subject to the presentation of import licences issued by the Member States concerned to all parties concerned who apply therefor, whatever their place...
