THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3042/79 (3), recognizes the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from certain non-member countries, and contains a list of the bodies in those countries authorized to issue attestations of equivalence;

Whereas the People's Republic of China has notified the Commission that it has authorized a further body to issue attestations of equivalence; whereas the name of that body should be added to the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78;

Whereas, since that time, Canada has undertaken to comply with the requirements laid down for the marketing of hops and hop products and has authorized a body to issue attestations of equivalence; whereas it is appropriate, therefore, to recognize those attestations as being equivalent to Community certificates and to allow into free circulation the products which they cover; whereas it is necessary to supplement in this respect the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78;

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