COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 634/84

of 12 March 1984

on the communication to the Commission by the Member States of data on imports and exports of certain products processed from agricultural commodities

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 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 24 thereof,

Whereas the Community market in starch has been unsettled by increasing imports of competing products at low prices; whereas the information available indicates that these competing products are mainly starch ethers and esters falling within subheading ex 39.06 B of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas it is essential to observe trade in the said products close by; whereas measures should therefore be taken which enable the Commission to obtain the necessary information on these products as distinct from other products falling within the same tariff subheading;

Whereas it is appropriate to apply certain of the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3601/82 of 21 December 1982 on the communication by Member States to the Commission of data relating to imports and exports of certain agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3461/83 (4);

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
