3Prior to the adoption of the regulation at issue, the Commission had adopted Regulation (EEC) No 3429/80 of 29 December 1980 adopting protective measures applicable to imports of preserved mushrooms (OJ 1980 L 358, p. 66). That regulation, which was based on Council Regulation No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (OJ 1977 L 73, p. 1), in particular Article 14 thereof, had set for the three-month period from 1 January 1981 to 31 March 1981 the import quota for preserved mushrooms from non-member countries at 7196 tonnes. In addition, it introduced controls on imports by way of import licences and had provided, in the case where the quantities of preserved mushrooms from non-member countries released into free circulation in the Community exceeded the quantity established by that regulation, for a levy of an additional amount of ECU 175 per 100 kg net.
