COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2827/93 of 15 October 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 936/93 as regards the special temporary allowance for the transport of certain fresh fruit and vegetables originating in Greece

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3438/92 of 23 November 1992 laying down special measures for the transport of certain fresh fruit and vegetables originating in Greece (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3438/92 introduces a special temporary allowance in 1992 and 1993 for consignments transported by refrigerated lorry, vessel or wagon from Greece to Member States other than Italy, Spain or Portugal of the fresh fruit and vegetables referred to in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (3);

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 936/93 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulations (EEC) No 525/92 and (EEC) No 3438/92 as regards special measures for the transport of certain fresh fruit and vegetables from Greece (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1827/93 (5), lays down the level of the special temporary allowance;

Whereas the additional cost of transporting fresh fruit and vegetables to other Member States has increased considerably, in particular owing to the extension of the embargo against the former Yugoslavia to include transit; whereas, therefore, the fixed allowance for consignments dispatched during the final quarter of 1993 should be increased;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The figure of 'ECU 2,3' referred to in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 936/93 is hereby replaced by 'ECU 4'.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply to consignments dispatched from 1 October 1993.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 15 October 1993.
