COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3084/83

of 31 October 1983

derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 in respect of the security for import licences for basic cereals in respect of which the levy is fixed in advance

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 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,

Whereas, in the light of price fluctuations on the world market and the period of validity of import licences, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2612/83 (3), which amended Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 (4) in respect of the amounts of the security for import licences for basic cereals in respect of which the levy is fixed in advance, increased the security in respect of import licences for basic cereals with advance fixing of the import levy; whereas the original intention was that that special measure's period of validity should expire on 31 October 1983;

Whereas the present price fluctuations on the world market, while less marked in the case of certain feed-grain, justify extending the special measure's period of validity until 31 December 1983; whereas, in order to underline the measure's temporary nature, Regulation (EEC) No 2612/83 should be repealed and provision should be made for applying, when the period in question expires, the amount of the security applicable before Regulation (EEC) No 2612/83 was adopted;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
