THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1943/91 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas the Interim Agreements with Poland (3), Hungary (4) and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (5) provide that imports of certain red fruit originating in those countries are subject to a minimum import price; whereas the frequency at which the prices are controlled requires Member States to communicate certain information rapidly and at very frequent intervals; whereas for other red fruits and for the same product originating in Yugoslavia as it was on 1 January 1991, it is necessary to be able to follow the import trends regularly;

Whereas, for statistical purposes, the Belgo-Luxembourg Economic Union (BLEU) is considered as a single territory; whereas, as regards the communications to be transmitted to the Commission, it should be considered as a single Member State;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
