Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 and Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3285/83 specify that the said Regulations are to enter into force as soon as the Community has presented to the two candidate countries its declaration concerning the accession negotiations on fruit and vegetables; whereas the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, is to note when the said condition has been fulfilled and fix the date on which these Regulations will enter into force;

Whereas therefore the condition referred to in the first paragraph of Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 and the first paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3285/83 is fulfilled; whereas, in view of the time needed to implement the extended application of certain rules issued by producers' organizations, and particularly the need to consult the producers concerned, the date when the new arrangements come into force should be put back,
