COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2915/93 of 22 October 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 on the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from non-member countries

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 Regulation (EEC) No 3124/92 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2238/91 (4), recognizes the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from certain non-member countries and lists the organizations in those countries authorized to issue equivalence attestations as well as the products covered; whereas subsequent political events have made it necessary to revise that list; whereas it is the responsibility of the organizations concerned in those non-member countries to keep up to date the information contained in the Annex to this Regulation and to maintain close cooperation with the Commission by communicating to its departments the information concerned;

Whereas Hungary has subsequently undertaken to comply with the requirements stipulated in respect of the marketing of hops and hop products and has authorized an organization to issue equivalence attestations; whereas such attestations should therefore be recognized as equivalent to Community certificates and the products which they cover be released for free circulation; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 should be amended accordingly;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following sentence is added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78:

'The Annex shall be revised on the basis of information communicated by the non-member countries concerned.'

The Annex to this Regulation replaces the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following 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, 22 October 1993.
