THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1852/85 of 2 July 1985 laying down detailed rules of application with a view to exempt Member States from the obligation to buy in certain types of fruit and vegetables (3) specified what information the Member States were to provide to the Commission with a view to their being exempted if they so requested, as provided for in Article 19a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, from intervention purchasing;

Whereas the Member States have supplied this information; whereas the conditions for exemption laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1852/85 are met by certain Member States for certain products for the 1995/96 marketing year; whereas those Member States which have so applied should therefore be exempted from the obligation to make intervention purchases,
