THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 932/97 (4), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 677/97 (5) sets 30 June 1997 as the deadline;

Whereas the particular characteristics at the end of the marketing year of the markets for the products falling under the codes concerned persist; whereas, therefore, the measure limiting the term of validity of licences should be maintained for a period to allow observation of the situation during the period preceding the new harvest of potatoes and maize;

Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
