of 3 November 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 1088/83 (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 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2800/83 (6), provides that on import into the Community of dried grapes, other than currants, a minimum import price must be respected; whereas the minimum import price shall ensure that products are not marketed at abnormally low prices; whereas in the light of the evolution of prices in respect of the products in question it is justified to adapt the minimum import price;

Whereas account should be taken of the special situation of products which are traded in the light of the previous minimum import price and where it would be difficult for traders to adjust themselves to the new conditions,

2. When converting the countervailing charge referred to in paragraph 1 and the minimum import price into national currency the provisions of Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 as they stand on the day on which the entry for free circulation is accepted by the customs authorities, shall apply.
