Whereas quantities of mushrooms originating in China and applied for on 12 and 13 October 1994 exceed the quantities available; whereas the extent to which licences may be issued may accordingly be determined;

Whereas the quantities for which licences have been issued have reached the annual amount granted to China; whereas the issuing of licences qualifying for the exemption from the additional amount provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1796/81 should accordingly be suspended;

Whereas these measures should be taken during the true limit fixed by Article 5 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 1707/90,
