paa den tidligere Tyske Demokratiske Republiks omraade behandles humle efter hoesten traditionelt paa en anden maade end i andre dele af Faellesskabet, idet rensningen og den foerste toerring af kopperne paa mange humlebedrifter foretages samtidig med formaling og presning til granulat, da det ikke er muligt at adskille de to etaper med det eksisterende materiel; denne proces er dog ikke i overensstemmelse med EF-bestemmelsene, der kraever, at humlen certificeres inden nogen forarbejdning; for at give producenterne mulighed for at sprede deres investeringer over en passende periode, boer der fastsaettes en laengere overgangsperiode end den, der er fastsat i Kommissionens forordning (EOEF) nr. 2239/91 af 26. juli 1991 om overgangsforanstaltninger i humlesektoren efter Tysklands forening (3), der udloeb den 31. december 1992 -
Whereas, in the former German Democratic Republic, the treatment of hops after harvest is traditionally different from that in other parts of the Community in the sense that, on numerous farms producing hops, cleaning and initial drying of cones is carried out at the same time as milling and pressing into granules, existing equipment not permitting separation of the two stages; whereas his procedure does not, however, conform the Community legislation, which lays down that certification must take place before any processing; whereas, to enable producers to spread their new investment over a suitable period, a transitional period longer than that provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2239/91 of 26 July 1991 on transitoinal measures applicable in the hop sector after the unification of Germany (3), which expired on 31 December 1992, should be laid down,
