COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3353/87

of 6 November 1987

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2640/87 suspending advance fixing of the import levy for certain cereals

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 1900/87 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 15 (7) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1799/87 of 25 June 1987 on special arrangements for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain from 1987 to 1990 (3), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2640/87 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2837/87 (5), suspended advance fixing of the import levy for sorghum; whereas the suspension was ordered because of the risk of advance fixing of the levy for massive quantities of imported sorghum; whereas in the case of sorghum imported pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/87 of 16 October 1987 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special arrangements for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain from 1987 to 1990 (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3352/87 (7), that risk does not arise, since a provision has been introduced whereby licences can be issued a certain time after they have been applied for; whereas it is accordingly advisable to re-introduce advance fixing of the levy for sorghum imported into Spain under the arrangements referred to above;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

(*) OJ No L 294, 17. 10. 1987, p. 15.'
