Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1234/71 1 of 7 June 1971 on imports of certain cereals from Turkey, and in particular Article 4 thereof;

Whereas methods of administrative cooperation, including proof of origin and of the direct transportation of the rye from Turkey to a Member State were governed by Decision Nos 4/71 2 and 5/71 3 of the Council of Association, the provisions of which were made applicable by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1885/71 4 of 1 September 1971 ; whereas it suffices therefore to fix, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1234/71, the procedure for proving payment of the special export tax by means of movement certificate A.TR.1 ; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2019/71 5 of 20 September 1971 on procedures for the importation of rye from Turkey should therefore be repealed and replaced by the present Regulation;
