COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2835/90

of 28 September 1990

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 on the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from non-member countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3998/87 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3975/88 (4), recognizes the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from certain non-member countries, and contains a list of the bodies in those countries authorized to issue attestations of equivalence;

Whereas, since that time, the body authorized by the German Democratic Republic to issue attestations of equivalence, as set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78, has ceased to exist; whereas another body has therefore been authorized to issue these attestations as of 1 July 1990; whereas the respective entry in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 should be therefore amended;

Whereas, due to the accession of the German Democratic Republic to the Federal Republic of Germany, the territory of the German Democratic Republic becomes part of the Community and will no longer be considered a third country; whereas the issuing of attestations of equivalence will no longer be required; whereas the respective entry in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 should be therefore deleted on the date of the German unification;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
