THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;

Having Regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;

Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1467/69 (1) of 23 July 1969 on imports of citrus fruit originating in Morocco lays down the conditions of application of the particular system established by that Regulation in respect of imports into the Community of citrus fruit originating in Morocco with reference to the quotations recorded at the wholesale stage on the representative markets of the Community ; whereas these recordings were made in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 (2) of Regulation No 23 (2) on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables;

Whereas those privisions have since been amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2512/69 (3) whereas the entry prices must in consequence be calculated on the basis of the quotations recorded at or converted to the import/wholesale stage ; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1467/69 should therefore be adjusted accordingly;
