THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1182/2007 of 26 September 2007 laying down specific rules as regards the fruit and vegetable sector, amending Directives 2001/112/EC and 2001/113/EC and Regulations (EEC) No 827/68, (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96, (EC) No 2826/2000, (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 318/2006 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2202/96^f1,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 of 21 December 2007 laying down implementing rules of Council Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1182/2007 in the fruit and vegetable sector^f2, and in particular Article 138(1) thereof,

Whereas:

An error has been found in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 314/2008^f3.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 314/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

Article 138(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 stipulates that, where no standard import value is in force for a product for a given origin, the average of the standard import values in force for that product shall apply.

Application of the corrected standard import value must be requested by the party concerned so that they are not placed retroactively at a disadvantage,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
