COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2061/92 of 30 June 1992 laying down special measures for certain varieties of raw tobacco from the 1992 harvest

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13 (8) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),

Whereas the Commission report provided for in Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shows that for varieties Nos 11 (a) Forchheimer Havanna II c, (b) Nostrana del Brenta, (c) Resistente 142, (d) Gojano, (e) hybrids of Badischer Geudertheimer, 23 Tsebelia and 24 Mavra, there was a substantial increase in the quantities taken over by the intervention agencies for the 1988 and 1989 harvests; whereas these quantities either exceed or seem likely to exceed a stated percentage of the production for two successive crops, and in any case a stated quantity as provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 (3) or these quantities exceed a stated percentage of the production or a stated quantity as provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 for one crop only, the main cause being the extension of cultivated areas;

Whereas special measures as provided for in Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 should therefore be adopted, and in particular the reduction in the intervention price should be maintained for the varieties concerned, as for previous crops,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Done at Luxembourg, 30 June 1992.
