Cites 13: Commission Regulation (EEC) No 994/88 of 15 April 1988 on the application of the countervailing charge pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 on protective measures applicable to imports of dried grapes; Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables; Hans Dinter GmbH & Co. v Hauptzollamt Bad Reichenhall (C-81/92); Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 of the Council of 28 June 1968 on the common customs tariff; Council Regulation (EEC) No 521/77 of 14 March 1977 laying down detailed rules for applying protective measures in the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables; Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables; Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2237/85 of 30 July 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the minimum import price system for dried grapes; Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1626/85 of 14 June 1985 on protective measures applicable to imports of certain Morello cherries; Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 of 13 October 1982 on protective measures applicable to imports of dried grapes; Council Regulation (EEC) No 2089/85 of 23 July 1985 establishing general rules relating to the system of minimum import prices for dried grapes; Council Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 of 31 March 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables and Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs Tariff; Commission Regulation (EEC) No 936/84 of 5 April 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2742/82 on protective measures applicable to imports of dried grapes; The Queen v H. M. Commissioners of Customs and Excise, ex parte: The National Dried Fruit Trade Association (77/86)

59Only the following difference need be pointed out. As can be seen from the second citation in the preamble, Regulation No 2237/85 - an interpretation of Article 2(3) of which is sought — was adopted on the basis of Article 4a(7) of the basic Regulation No 516/77, as introduced by Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 of 31 March 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables and Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ 1984 L 103 p. 11). On the entry into force of the new basic Regulation No 426/86, the reference to Article 4a of Regulation No 516/77 in the second citation in the preamble to Regulation No 2237/85 was replaced by a reference to Article 9 of Regulation No 426/86, whose content is identical to that of Article 4a of Regulation No 516/77 (see Article 25(2) of Regulation No 426/86 and the correlation table in Annex V to that regulation). For that reason the question refers to Article 9 of Regulation No 426/86.
