amending Regulation (EEC) No 1489/84 laying down the date for the entry into force of Regulations (EEC) No 3284/83 and (EEC) No 3285/83 relating to the fruit and vegetables sector

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 of 14 November 1983 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3285/83 of 14 November 1983 laying down general rules for the extension of certain rules issued by producers' organizations in the fruit and vegetables sector (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 8 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1489/84 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 825/85 (4), laid down the date of application of the system for the extension of certain of the rules issued by producer groups;

Whereas, taking account of the delays in the implementation of the system for the extension of these rules, owing in particular to the procedures for consulting the producers concerned, the date for the application of the system should be deferred; whereas the diversity of harvest dates for the various products does not allow a single date to be laid down; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1489/84 should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
