EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 478 -
INCREASING THE MINIMUM ACCESS VOLUME (MAV) FOR COFFEE BEANS UNDER THE
AGRICULTURAL TARIFFICATION ACT
WHEREAS,
for the year 1998 there is an estimated supply shortage of 6,400 metric
tons (MT) of coffee beans due to the drought induced by the “El
Niño” phenomenon which caused severe damage to the country’s
standing coffee crops and is expected to further reduce subsequent crop
production;
WHEREAS, Sec. 6 of Republic Act No. 8178, otherwise known as the
“Agricultural Tariffication Act”, provides that in case of shortages or
abnormal price increases in agricultural products, whose quantitative
restrictions are lifted under the said law, the President may propose
revisions, modifications or adjustments of MAV to Congress which has to
act within fifteen days from receipt of the proposal, otherwise, the
same shall be deemed approved;
WHEREAS, a proposal was submitted by the President to Congress on
February 6, 1998 to increase the 1998 MAV for coffee beans by 5,000 MT
from 1,060 MT (1997) to 6,060 MT;
WHEREAS, the Congress did not act on the aforesaid proposal within the
prescribed period.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Philippines and
pursuant to the provisions of Republic Act No. 8178, do hereby order:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
Sec. 3. Since 19.07.98.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 22nd day of May, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
ninety-eight.
