COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1481/91 of 31 May 1991 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Articles 12 (2) and 16 (6) thereof,

Whereas, in view of the expected disparity in the price of maize on the Community market in the current marketing year and that following the next harvest, it is considered necessary to temporarily adapt the duration of validity of export licences for maize-based cereal products and for potato starch, where the price level is dependent on the price of maize, whereas a temporary derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 675/91 (4), is considered necessary for the products in question;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

By derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 891/89, the duration of validity of export certificates delivered between 1 June and 30 September 1991 for the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation is limited to 30 September 1991.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 31 May 1991. For the Commission
