COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 330/83

of 9 February 1983

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 on protective measures applicable to imports of dried grapes

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1118/81 (2), and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543/73 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Article 2 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 of 13 October 1982 (5) provides that the minimum price and the countervailing charge shall after having been converted into national currency be multiplied by a coefficient;

Whereas that multiplication is made to ensure that the minimum price expressed in national currency should not lead to distortion of trade;

Whereas the value of the drachma and the pound sterling have changed considerably since the minimum price was introduced;

Whereas that fact could lead to distortion of trade; whereas to avoid that risk the coefficients applicable to these two currencies should be adapted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 is replaced by the following:

Article 2

The amended coefficients shall not apply when it is proved to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that the products declared for release for free circulation have left the exporting country before the day of publication of this Regulation and the import entry is accepted by the customs authorities not later than 1 April 1983.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.
