COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 861/92 of 30 March 1992 fixing, for the 1992 harvest, the maximum guaranteed quantities in the raw tobacco sector

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 4 (5) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),

Whereas the Commission has proposed to the Council a reform of the Community rules in the raw tobacco sector (4); whereas it is not certain that this proposal can be adopted in time to be applied for the 1992 harvest; whereas, therefore, as a precautionary measure, the maximum guaranteed quantities for the 1992 harvest should be fixed at the level fixed for the previous harvest;

Whereas in the event that the reform does not apply to the 1992 harvest, the other measures to be taken, in particular fixing prices and premiums, reference qualities and production zones, can be adopted at a later stage,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The maximum guaranteed quantities for leaf tobacco for the 1992 harvest shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 30 March 1992. For the Council
