Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 of 8 March 1971 laying down general rules on private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses (3) permits the granting of private storage aid for sheep's-milk cheeses requiring at least six months for maturing where a serious market imbalance could be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the market in Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses is at present disturbed by the existence of stocks which are difficult to sell and which are causing a lowering of prices; whereas seasonal storage should therefore be introduced to imrpove the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of this measure should essentially be the same as those laid down for a similar measure applying to Pecorino Romano cheese;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses manufactured in the Community from sheep's milk and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than two tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 31 December 1982;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is +16 °C,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into and withdrawn from storage during the previous week,
- not to alter the composition of the batch under contract during the term of the contract without authorization from the intervention agency. Alteration may be authorized by the intervention agency if limited to the removal or removal and replacement of cheese found to have so deteriorated in quality as not to permit continued storage.
In cases where removal occurs:
- if the cheese removed is replaced with the authorization of the intervention agency the contract shall be deemed not to have undergone any adjustment,
- if it is not replaced the quantity shall be deemed to have been originally concluded for the quantity remaining in storage.
Supervisory costs for the operation shall be borne by the storer.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage in the period up to 15 November 1983.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The maximum aid payable shall be an amount corresponding to 150 days storage under contract terminating before 1 March 1984. The date on which removal of the cheese covered by the contract from storage begins shall not be included in the storage period covered by the contract.
1. The amount of aid shall be 2,28 ECU per tonne per day.
2. The amount of aid in ECU in relation to a storage contract shall be that applying on the first day of storage under contract. It shall be converted into national currency at the rate applicable on the last day of storage under contract.
3. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
The periods, dates and time limits mentioned in this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 (1). However, Article 3 (4) of that Regulation shall not apply for determination of the duration of storage under contract.
The intervention agency shall take the necessary measures to ensure that checks are kept on the quantities covered by storage contracts. It shall in particular make provision for the marking of the cheeses covered by the contract.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission on or before the Tuesday of each week:
(a) the quantity of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded during the previous week;
(b) any quantities in respect of which the authorization referred to in the second indent of Article 2 (d) has been given.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 15 June 1983.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 24 April 1996 amending Decision 94/811/EC declaring the compatibility of a concentration with the common market (Case No IV/M. 269 - Shell/Montecatini) (Only the English text is authentic) (96/648/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 of 21 December 1989 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (1), and in particular Article 8 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Shell Petroleum NV and Montedison Nederland NV,
Having regard to the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Concentrations (2),
Whereas:
(1) On 4 January 1994, Shell Petroleum NV (Shell) and Montedison Nederland NV (Montedison) notified to the Commission a proposed 50/50 concentrative joint venture in the polyolefins sector, Montell, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (the Merger Regulation).
(2) On 8 June 1994, the Commission adopted Decision 94/811/EC (3) declaring the proposed concentration compatible with the common market subject to conditions and obligations corresponding to commitments given by the parties (the Decision).
(3) On 22 December 1995, the parties made a formal request for review of the PP technology commitment set out in paragraph 116 of the Decision [ . . . ] (4), within the meaning of paragraph 118 of the Decision.
I. The Commission Decision of 8 June 1994
(4) The Commission considered (5) that, as a result of the establishment of Montell, two fully-owned subsidiaries of the Royal Dutch/Shell group of companies would be linked with the two leading technologies for the manufacture of polypropylene (PP). These were: Montedison's Spheripol technology and the Unipol technology developed by Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) and Shell Oil, a Royal Dutch/Shell US subsidiary. In particular, Shell would be the industrial leader of Montell, which would develop and market Spheripol, while Shell Oil would be an important contributor to the Unipol technology package through the supply of catalysts.
(5) In the Commission's view, Royal Dutch Shell's control over the competitive behaviour of its two subsidiaries would affect the rivalry between Spheripol and Unipol, which was the main competitive relationship on the market for the licensing of PP technology and associated services (PP technology market). Other existing PP technology providers or potential entrants into the market were not likely to represent a significant constraint on the exercise of market power by the parties in the short to medium term. For these reasons, the Commission concluded that the notified concentration would lead to dominance on the PP technology market.
(6) In order to remove the competition concerns identified by the Commission, the parties entered into commitments vis-à-vis the Commission. Based on these commitments, Montedison's PP technology business would remain outside Montell and would be transferred to a separate company, Technipol. Technipol would be structurally and financially independent from Shell and Montell and would be endowed with all the necessary assets and characteristics enabling it to operate as an ongoing, viable and competitive business. In view of the parties' commitments, the Commission considered that the concentration would not lead to the creation or strengthening of a dominant position and that it could therefore be declared compatible with the common market.
(7) At the same time, the notifying parties reserved their rights under Community law to request the Commission to review the whole or any specific commitments relating to PP technology [ . . . ] (paragraph 118 of the Decision). The Commission took note of this statement and confirmed its willingness to undertake such review in accordance with Community competition law (paragraph 121 of the Decision).
(8) Shell Oil's contractual arrangements with UCC at the time of the adoption of the Decision can be summarized as follows. The basis of the cooperation between the two companies was a 1983 Cooperative Undertaking Agreement (CUA). The purpose of the agreement was to combine UCC's fluidized-bed process and Shell's SHAC catalyst, with a view to developing a PP technology package, Unipol, and licensing it to third parties. A PP plant at Seadrift, Texas, used as a demonstration plant for the new technology and as a toll manufacturing facility for Shell Oil, formed the object of a separate partnership agreement. Shell Oil's contribution to the Unipol package included the supply, further development, marketing and pricing, and customer support and technical assistance of the catalysts used.
II. Subsequent developments
(9) Following notification of the proposed concentration in the US, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) initiated an investigation and forwarded a draft Complaint dated 16 December 1994 to the notifying parties setting out certain competition concerns. With a view to meeting these concerns, Shell and Montedison entered into an Agreement Containing Consent Order which required the divestiture of all of Shell Oil's assets, tangible and intangible, relating to PP technology, catalyst technology, propylene polymers and PP catalyst. Pending divestiture the parties agreed that the assets would be held separate in a business called Polyco.
(10) On 11 November 1995, Shell Oil signed an agreement with UCC for the transfer of Polyco's assets to UCC. This agreement was approved by the FTC on 26 December 1995 and the divestiture was closed on 19 January 1996.
(11) The agreement between Shell Oil and UCC involves the transfer to UCC of all of Shell Oil's former interests in the PP and SHAC catalyst businesses and related assets. These include inter alia:
- Shell Oil's rights, title and interest in the CUA and all related agreements,
- its interest in the Seadrift Polypropylene Company and the Seadrift PP plant,
- its PP catalyst pilot plant,
- its PP and PP catalyst plant and assets at Norco, Louisiana,
- its facilities and equipment at the Westhollow Technology center at Houston, Texas,
- all intellectual property relating to Shell Oil's PP and catalyst technology, including patent rights, trade secrets, technology and know-how, licences, research and other necessary agreement, and rights to the 'SHAC` trade mark.
In addition, Shell Oil has agreed to sell to UCC, for three years after the divestiture, PP monomer on prices, terms and conditions no less favourable than the prices, terms and conditions on which Shell supplies the product to Montell in North America.
(12) [ . . . ]. They have therefore requested the Commission to release them from the PP technology commitment set out in paragraph 116 of the Decision, on the grounds that the rationale for this commitment has been removed.
III. Assessment of the parties' request for review
The possibility for review as provided in the Decision
(13) The PP technology commitments given by the parties were necessary for removing the Commission's competition concerns. Their purpose and effect was to ensure that the two leading PP technologies, Spheripol and Unipol, would not fall within the decisive influence of a single decision centre. The transfer of Montedison's PP technology business to a separate company under the sole control of Montedison had the result that Spheripol fell outside the field of influence of Shell and remained an independent and viable competitor on the market.
(14) According to the same logic, a significant structural change in Shell Oil's contractual arrangements with UCC, as a result of which Unipol would fall outside the field of influence of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group and would remain an independent and viable competitor on the market, could equally remove the Commission's competition concerns. Were this significant structural change to take place, this would constitute sufficient grounds for declaring the concentration compatible with the common market. For this reason [ . . . ], the Decision acknowledged the Commission's willingness to review, in accordance with Community competition law, the continued necessity of the commitment relating to the establishment of Technipol.
The effects of the agreement between Shell Oil and UCC
(15) As a result of the agreement, Shell Oil's rights, title and interest in the CUA are transferred to UCC, and Shell Oil will have no further rights nor be required to undertake further action pursuant to the CUA. The contractual arrangements between Shell Oil and UCC will therefore be terminated and Shell and Shell Oil will cease to have any links to UCC relevant to the Unipol PP technology business.
(16) In addition, the agreement provides UCC with all the necessary assets and characteristics enabling it to operate Unipol as an ongoing, viable and competitive business and to continue independent PP technology development. As stated above, the Unipol package was a combination of UCC's process and Shell Oil's catalysts. The agreement provides that Shell Oil will transfer to UCC its catalyst pilot plant, all intellectual property rights relating to catalyst technology (6), and its facilities and equipment at the Westhollow Technology center at Houston, Texas, utilized in PP and catalyst research, development and technical support. Shell Oil will also transfer its PP plant at Seadrift used as a manufacturing facility and demonstration plant for the Unipol technology. All customer lists, technical information, interest in contracts with customers, suppliers, etc. and all books, records and files of the business are included in the transferred assets. Finally, Shell Oil's former personnel who worked in support of the Unipol PP licensing activities will be employed by UCC.
(17) In summary, the agreement enables UCC to obtain sole control of the assets and personnel which constituted Shell Oil's contribution to the Unipol technology package and which enabled Shell Oil to support the success of Unipol's PP licensing activities. In addition to acquiring these assets, UCC has substantial resources of its own. UCC is a large and sophisticated company and a major licensor of PE technology - the Unipol PP package was based on process technology initially developed and used for PE production. The technology, expertise and resources that constituted UCC's contribution to the Unipol PP package will naturally continue to support the success of that package whose track record and reputation among PP licensees are already well established. As set out in the original Commission decision, Unipol is one of the two leading PP technology packages accounting for about [ . . . ] (7) of worldwide PP plant capacity - Spheripol accounts for about [ . . . ] (8) of worldwide PP plant capacity. In particular, Unipol displays a number of characteristics that are considered important by licensees when selecting a PP technology, in terms for instance of product range, simplicity of operation, cost-performance ratio and size of licensing pool (9).
(18) The changes brought about by the agreement do not only relate to the arrangements concerning Unipol, but in fact go even further. In particular, Shell Oil has also agreed to transfer to UCC its PP and catalyst plants and assets at Norco, Louisiana with a PP capacity of about 150 000 tonnes/year. These PP plants and assets were not part of Shell Oil's partnership arrangements with UCC for the Unipol technology. These arrangements included only the Seadrift plant with a PP capacity of about 100 000 tonnes/year.
(19) The Commission considers that the above-mentioned elements result in the severance of Shell's links with one of the two leading PP technologies, Unipol, and at the same time ensure the continued existence of Unipol as an independent and viable PP technology capable of competing effectively against Spheripol. As stated above, the purpose and effect of the establishment of Technipol was precisely the same, namely to ensure that one of the two leading PP technologies, Spheripol in this case, would remain independent from Shell's influence and a viable competitor on the market.
(20) In view of the above, each of the two remedies would, on its own, remove the Commission's competition concerns relating to dominance on the PP technology market as set out in the Decision of 8 June 1994. Their simultaneous existence would not as a result be necessary from the point of view of Community competition law. [ . . . ], within the meaning of paragraph 118 of the Decision. They therefore constitute sufficient grounds for amending the original Decision by revoking the conditions and obligations attached thereto in order to ensure compliance with the PP technology commitments.
IV. Final conclusion
(21) For the reasons outlined above, the Commission considers that, in light of developments that took place after the adoption of its Decision of 8 June 1994, the PP technology commitment set out in paragraph 116 of the Decision is no longer necessary for removing the Commission's competition concerns expressed therein. On this basis, the concentration between Shell and Montedison can be declared compatible with the common market without any conditions and obligations attached to it,
Articles 1 and 2 of Decision 94/811/EC are replaced by the following:

The concentration between Shell and Montedison is declared compatible with the common market`.

Whereas the countries listed in the Annex to this Decision which traditionally supply the Member States, have been requested to show, through the provision of written assurances supported by appropriate documentation or as a result of on-the-spot inspections, that they satisfy the requirements of the Community;
Whereas these assurances shall be examined by the Standing Veterinary Committee;
Whereas this list applies without prejudice to Commission Decision 93/342/EEC (3) which laid down the criteria to classify third countries with regard to avian influenza and Newcastle disease;
Whereas it may also be necessary in certain cases to specify the parts of countries from which imports will be authorized;
Whereas this list can be amended at any time to take into account new information or new situations; whereas the listing of any country shall be reviewed at any time when further information, in particular resulting from on-the-spot inspections, indicates that conditions in the third country concerned may have changed or that previously received information was incomplete, inexact or inaccurate;
Whereas, although the list of third countries forms the basis of the Community arrangements applicable to imports from third countries laid down in Directive 91/494/EEC, other measures, particularly concerning specific animal health conditions, public health requirements, residue plans and certification will have to be taken into account in order to achieve complete harmonization of the conditions for importation of fresh poultrymeat;
Whereas, pending the adoption by the Commission of the animal health certification for importation of fresh poultrymeat from the countries specified in this list, Member States may continue to apply, on importation, their animal health requirements in force on 1 January 1994;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of 27 June 2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (1), and in particular Article 12(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (2), and in particular Article 134 in combination with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(7)(d) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1100/2006 of 17 July 2006 laying down, for the marketing years 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09, detailed rules for the opening and administration of tariff quotas for raw cane-sugar for refining, originating in least developed countries, as well as detailed rules applying to the importation of products of tariff heading 1701 originating in least developed countries (3), limits the applications for import licenses of sugar from Least Developed Countries (LDC) to ‘approved operators’.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 of 22 July 2008 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2011 and amending Regulations (EC) No 552/97, (EC) No 1933/2006 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 1100/2006 and (EC) No 964/2007 (4) (GSP Regulation) provides for a more inclusive definition: ‘the applicant’. However, the amendment it introduces will become applicable only from 1 January 2009, at the start of application of the new period of the GSP Regulation, and not from the beginning of the next marketing year for sugar, which starts on 1 October 2008. In order to avoid discrimination between operators willing to supply the market, the new definition shall coincide with the starting of the marketing year of sugar. Regulation (EC) No 1100/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Generalised Preferences Committee.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
In Article 5(7)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2006, the words ‘the approved operator’s pledge’ shall be replaced by the words ‘the applicant’s pledge’.

(notified under document number C(2007) 2454)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/404/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in March 2001 the United Kingdom received an application from Makhteshim Agan Ltd. for the inclusion of the active substance novaluron in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2001/861/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(3) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 19 September 2005.
(4) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for novaluron will have been completed within 24 months.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing novaluron for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 25 January 1980 refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "Magnavox-Geoceiver Satellite Surveyor, model MX 1502" (80/210/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 14 June 1979, the Government of Italy requested the Commission to invoke the procedure at present laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Magnavox-Geoceiver Satellite Surveyor, model MX 1502", to be used in the study of the structure of the field of terrestrial gravity, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 4 December 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a portable receiver of signals transmitted by a satellite ; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas apparatus of the same kind are principally used for the realization of non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Magnavox-Geoceiver Satellite Surveyor, model MX 1502", is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 of 14 January 2004 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (1), the amount to be charged to those Member States for the surplus quantities not eliminated from the market in accordance with Article 6(2) of that Regulation are to be assigned to the Community budget in four equal instalments by 31 December at the latest of each of the years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
(2) Commission Decision 2006/776/EC of 13 November 2006 on the amounts to be charged for the quantities of surplus sugar not eliminated (2) fixed the amounts to be charged per Member State for the quantities of surplus sugar determined by Commission Regulation (EC) No 832/2005 of 31 May 2005 on the determination of surplus quantities of sugar, isoglucose and fructose for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (3) for which no adequate proof of elimination has been provided by 31 March 2006.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(3)(a) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom on the system of the Communities' own resources (4) entitlements established in accordance with Article 2 of that Regulation are to be entered in the accounts for own resources at the latest on the first working day after the 19th day of the second month following the month during which the entitlement was established.
(4) According to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 the Member States concerned had to submit proof of elimination to the Commission by 31 March 2006. In certain cases however, it was necessary to request supplementary information with regard to the proofs submitted. Due to the delays in the arrival of such additional information and the time required for their thorough analysis it was not possible to notify the Member States concerned of the charges to be paid by 31 October 2006. Consequently, in order to comply with the rules laid down in Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000, the deadline set by Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 for the payment of the first instalment needs to be adjusted.

In Article 7, paragraph 2 of Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 is replaced by the following:
‘2. In case the proof of elimination from the market is not provided in accordance with paragraph 1, for a part or the totality of the surplus quantity, the new Member State shall be charged an amount equal to the quantity not eliminated multiplied by the highest export refunds applicable to white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99 10 during the period from 1 May 2004 to 30 November 2005. A share equal to 25 % of the total amount shall be assigned to the Community budget by 31 January 2007, 31 December 2007, 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009 at the latest. The total amount shall be taken into account for the calculation of the production levies for the marketing year 2005/06.’

Whereas Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 provides that a correcting factor is to be applied for the purposes of calculating the monetary compensatory amounts; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2502/86 fixed this coefficient at 1,097805; whereas, as provided for in the last subparagraph of the said paragraph, this factor must be altered whenever parities are realigned within the European Monetary System, on the basis of the revaluation of the central rate of that currency among the currencies maintained among themselves within a maximum spread at any given time of 2,25 %, the revaluation of which vis-à-vis the ECU is the highest;
Whereas a realignment of central rates under the European Monetary System has occurred with effect from 12 January 1987;

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 411/2014
of 23 April 2014
opening and providing for the administration of a Union import tariff quota for fresh and frozen beef and veal originating in Ukraine
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 187 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides for preferential arrangements for 2014 as regards customs duties for the import of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the quotas as set out in that Annex. The quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
(2) While the quota concerned should normally be managed through the use of import licences, it is however appropriate to attribute import rights as a first step and to issue import licences as a second, as provided for in Article 6(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3). In this way, operators that have obtained import rights should be able to decide, during the quota period, the moment when they wish to apply for import licences, in view of their actual trade flows.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 382/2008 (5) should apply to import licences issued in accordance with this Regulation, save where derogations are appropriate.
(4) Furthermore, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 which concern applications for import rights, the status of applicants and the issue of import licences should apply to import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation, without prejudice to additional conditions laid down in this Regulation.
(5) For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, a security should be lodged at the time of submission of an import rights application.
(6) In order to oblige operators to apply for import licences for all the import rights allocated, it should be provided that such obligation constitutes a primary requirement within the meaning of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 (6).
(7) Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
Opening and management of a tariff quota
1. This Regulation opens and manages an import tariff quota for the products indicated in Annex I.
2. The quantity of products covered by the quota referred to in paragraph 1, the applicable rate of customs duty and the order numbers shall be as set out in Annex I.

Applicants for import rights shall demonstrate that a quantity of beef falling under CN codes 0201 or 0202 has been imported by them or on their behalf under the relevant customs provisions, during the 12th month period immediately prior to the import tariff quota period (hereinafter ‘reference quantity’). A company formed by the merger of companies, each having imported reference quantities, may use those reference quantities as basis for its application.
4. The total quantity covered by applications for import rights submitted in the import tariff quota period shall not exceed the applicant's reference quantities. Applications not complying with this rule shall be rejected by the competent authorities.
5. No later than the 7th working day following the end of the period for the submission of applications referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall notify the Commission of the total quantities applied for in kilograms of product weight.
6. Import rights shall be awarded as from the 7th and no later than the 12th working day following the end of the period for the notifications referred to in paragraph 5.
7. If application of the allocation coefficient referred to in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 results in fewer import rights to be allocated than had been applied for, the security lodged in accordance with paragraph 2 shall be released proportionally without delay.
8. Import rights shall be valid from the day of the issue until 31 October 2014. Import rights shall not be transferable.
Issue of import licences
1. The release into free circulation of the quantities awarded under the import tariff quota referred to in Article 1(1) shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.

3. Licence applications may be submitted solely in the Member State where the applicant has applied for and obtained import rights under the import tariff quota referred to in Article 1(1).
Each issue of import licence shall result in a corresponding reduction of the import rights obtained and the security lodged in accordance with Article 3(2) shall be released proportionally without delay.
4. Import licences shall be issued upon application by and in the name of the operator who has obtained the import rights.
5. Licence applications shall refer to only one order number. They may concern several products covered by different CN codes. In that case, all the CN codes and their descriptions shall be entered in boxes 15 and 16 of the licence application and the licence respectively.
6. Licence applications and import licences shall contain:
(a) in box 8, the name ‘Ukraine’ as country of origin and the box ‘yes’ marked by a cross;
(b) in box 20, one of the entries listed in Annex II.

By way of derogation from Article 5(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 382/2008, the import licences shall be valid 30 days from the actual day of issue of the licence within the meaning of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008. The term of validity of the import licences shall, however, expire at the latest on 31 October 2014.

(2005/733/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) and (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(1), (5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 9 October 2005 Turkey has notified to the Commission an outbreak of avian influenza in a poultry farm in the western parts of Anatolia. In order to reduce the risk of disease introduction into the Community, Commission Decision 2005/705/EC of 10 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Turkey (3) was adopted as an immediate measure to suspend imports of birds other than poultry and untreated feathers from Turkey.
(2) Turkey is included in the list in the Annex to Commission Decision 94/85/EC of 16 February 1994 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultry meat (4). Commission Decision 2003/812/EC of 17 November 2003 drawing up lists of third countries from which Member States are to authorise imports of certain products for human consumption subject to Council Directive 92/118/EEC (5) refers to the aforementioned list.
(3) Commission Decision 2000/666/EC of 16 October 2000 laying down the animal health requirements and the veterinary certification for the import of birds, other than poultry and the conditions for quarantine (6) provides that Member States are to authorise the import of birds from the third countries listed as members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). Turkey is a member of the OIE and accordingly Member States are to accept imports of birds, other than poultry, from Turkey under that Decision.
(4) Under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (7), the importation of a range of animal by-products, such as gelatine for technical use, materials for pharmaceutical use and others, originating in Turkey, is authorised, because these products are considered safe due to the specific conditions of production, processing and utilisation that effectively inactivate possible pathogens or prevent contact to susceptible animals.
(5) In accordance with Commission Decision 2005/432/EC of 3 June 2005 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of meat products for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decisions 97/41/EC, 97/221/EC and 97/222/EC (8), importation from Turkey is authorised for those products which have undergone a heat treatment which ensures a minimum temperature of 70 °C throughout the products.
(6) The Turkish authorities have sent further information on the disease situation to the Commission which justify a complete suspension of all imports of live poultry and birds and their products, while at the same time this information allows now to establish the conditions under which safe products of avian origin may be imported.
(7) However, taking into account the risk formed by these products, the importation of certain animal by-products, including treated feathers and parts of feathers, treated game trophies and poultrymeat products heat-treated to a minimum temperature of 70 °C can continue to be authorised, as the treatment inactivates the specific pathogen.
(8) It is also appropriate to continue to allow imports of pasteurised egg products for human consumption complying with the microbiological criteria laid down in Commission Decision 97/38/EC of 18 December 1996 setting specific public health requirements for imports of egg products for human consumption (9).
(9) Certain products derived from poultry slaughtered before 1 September 2005 should also continue to be authorised, taking into account the incubation period of the disease.
(10) Furthermore, specimens collected from any type of birds which are safely packaged and sent directly under the responsibility of the Turkish competent authority to an approved laboratory in a Member State for laboratory diagnosis, including the tests in accordance with the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), should be authorised.
(11) Decision 2005/705/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States shall suspend the importation from Turkey of:
1. live poultry, ratites, farmed fathered game, wild game birds and live birds other than poultry as defined in Article 1, third indent, of Decision 2000/666/EC, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds); and
2. products derived from the avian species referred to in paragraph 1.
1. By way of derogation from Article 1(2), Member States shall authorise imports of the following products:
(a) meat products consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, when the meat of these species has undergone one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2005/432/EC;
(b) feathers and parts of feathers that are, following the treatment described in point 55 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, no longer considered unprocessed;
(c) specimens collected from any type of birds which are safely packaged and sent directly under the responsibility of the Turkish competent authorities to an approved laboratory in a Member State for laboratory diagnosis.
2. By way of derogation from Article 1(2), Member States shall authorise imports of products complying with the conditions set up in Chapters II (C), III (C), IV (B), VI (C) and X (B) of Annex VII, and Chapters II (C), VII (B) (5) and X of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.
3. By way of derogation from the prohibition in Article 1(2), Member States shall authorise imports of pasteurised egg products for human consumption in compliance with the requirements of Decision 97/38/EC.
1. Member States shall ensure that when imported from Turkey, consignments of processed feathers or parts of feathers are accompanied by a commercial document stating the treatment required in Article 2(1)(b).
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to processed decorative feathers, processed feathers carried by travellers for their private use or consignments of processed feathers sent to private individuals for non industrial purposes.
3. Member States shall ensure that in the veterinary certificates or commercial documents accompanying consignments of products mentioned in Article 2 the following words shall be included:
‘Product of avian origin in accordance with Article 2 of Commission Decision 2005/733/EC’.
Member States shall amend the measures they apply to imports so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
Decision 2005/705/EC is repealed.
This Decision shall apply until 30 April 2006.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2238/88 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas artichokes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas artichokes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from October to September of the following year; whereas the quantities harvested in the months July to October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1988/89 marketing year, the reference prices for artichokes (CN code 0709 10 00), expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 1 November to 31 December: 88,46,
- from 1 January to 30 April: 78,03,
- May: 74,95,
- June: 62,89.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2006/97
of 9 October 1997
laying down certain rules for the application of the special arrangements for imports of olive oil originating in Morocco
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Articles 17 and 18 of, and Annex B to, the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco (1), hereinafter referred to as the ‘Cooperation Agreement’, provide for special arrangements for imports of olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 and 1510, wholly obtained in Morocco and transported direct from that country to the Community;
Whereas, for olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10, 1509 10 90 and 1510 00 10, the special arrangements provide for a flat-rate deduction of ECU 0,7245 per 100 kilograms from the applicable levy, representing the reduction provided for in Article 17 (1) (a) of the Cooperation Agreement; whereas, provided that Morocco levies an export charge, those arrangements provide for a further reduction of that levy corresponding to the amount of the special charge, but not exceeding ECU 14,60 per 100 kilograms, representing the reduction provided for in Article 17 (1) (b) of the Cooperation Agreement and a reduction of ECU 14,60 per 100 kilograms, representing the additional amount provided for in Annex B to the Cooperation Agreement;
Whereas the Community has concluded an agreement in the form of an exchange of letters with the Kingdom of Morocco extending the special arrangements after 1 January 1994 and for the duration of the Cooperation Agreement, on the basis of a flat-rate reduction in the customs duties (2);
Whereas the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3) provides that the variable levies applied to imports of agricultural products are to be replaced by fixed customs duties from 1 July 1995;
Whereas continuation of the arrangements calls for the adoption of new implementing rules and the repeal of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1521/76 of 24 June 1976 on imports of olive oil originating in Morocco (4);
Whereas, in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, the special export charge should be reflected in the price of the olive oil upon importation into the Community; whereas, to ensure the correct application of the arrangements in question, the necessary measures should be adopted to ensure that the charge is paid at the latest when the oil is imported;
Whereas, if the present conditions of the special arrangements provided for in the Cooperation Agreement are amended, in particular as regards the amounts, or if a new agreement is concluded, it may be necessary to adjust this Regulation to incorporate those changes; whereas provision should be made for those adjustments to be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (5);
Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 2146/95 (6), the Commission introduced an autonomous system as a transitional measure expiring on 30 June 1997; whereas this Regulation should therefore apply from 1 July 1997,
This Regulation lays down certain rules for the application of the special arrangements for imports of olive oil originating in Morocco.
1. The rate of customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of olive oil other than that which has undergone a refining process, falling within CN codes 1509 10 10, 1509 10 90 and 1510 00 10, wholly obtained in Morocco and transported direct from that country to the Community, shall be reduced by ECU 0,7245 per 100 kilograms.
2. Where Morocco levies a special export charge on that olive oil, wholly obtained in Morocco and transported direct from that country to the Community, the rate of customs duty shall be further reduced by an amount equal to the special charge but not exceeding ECU 14,60 per 100 kilograms, plus ECU 14,60 per 100 kilograms.
3. The reduction in the rate of customs duty provided for in paragraph 2 shall apply to all olive oil imports for which the importer provides proof, when importing the oil, that the special export charge is reflected in the import price.
1. The rate of customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of olive oil having undergone a refining process falling within CN code 1509 90 00, wholly obtained in Morocco and transported direct from that country to the Community, shall be reduced by ECU 4,661 per 100 kilograms.
2. The rate of customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of olive oil having undergone a refining process falling within CN code 1510 00 90, wholly obtained in Morocco and transported direct from that country to the Community, shall be reduced by ECU 8,754 per 100 kilograms.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
Where the present conditions of the special arrangements provided for in the Cooperation Agreement are amended, in particular as regards the amounts, or where a new agreement is concluded, the Commission shall adopt the resultant adjustments necessary for this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
Regulation (EEC) No 1521/76 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1997.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2) In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3) Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.
(4) Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.
(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.
(6) Accordingly, pending the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.
(7) This Decision is to be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Poland shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the territories listed in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply until 14 March 2014.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 48 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1943/2003 of 3 November 2003 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards aid to producer groups granted preliminary recognition (2) sets the calculation parameters and the ceilings for the aid provided for in Article 14(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96. These parameters and ceilings are not prices or amounts which are either granted or collected.

89/537/EEC: Commission Decision of 27 September 1989 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of mica originating in Japan
|
COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 September 1989
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of mica originating in Japan
(89/537/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by that Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In 1988 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Cie Royale Asturienne des Mines, Division Cogebi, representing the majority of Community production of mica. The complaint contained evidence of dumping of the product concerned originating in Japan and of material injury and threat of injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to warrant the opening of an investigation.
(2) The Commission accordingly announced, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of mica originating in Japan. The product concerned comprised agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials falling within CN codes 6814 10 00, 6814 90 10 and 6814 90 90. The Commission commenced an investigation.
(3) The Commission officially notified the producers/exporters and importers allegedly concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
(4) Most of the producers addressed by the Commission replied that they had not exported the product concerned to the Community; the only company which had exported mica products to the Community during the investigation period, i.e. Nippon Rika Kogyosho, Tokyo, Japan, and the two importers concerned requested and were granted hearings.
(5) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary. On the spot investigations were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
(a) Community producer:
Cie Royale Asturienne des Mines (Division Cogebi), Lot, Belgium;
(b) producers/exporters:
Nippon Rika Kogyosho, Tokyo, Japan,
Okabe Mica Co. Ltd, Tokyo, Japan;
(c) importer in the Community:
AEG Isolier- und Kunststoff GmbH, Kassel-Walden, Germany.
(6) The investigation period set pursuant to Article 7 (1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 covered the period from 1 January to 30 November 1988.
B. The product
(7) Mica is generally available in the following three types:
- mica paper,
- mica heater sheets,
- mica fire resistant tape for cable.
It was found during the investigation that a special type of mica paper, called Ar-Mat, had been developed by Nippon Rika and was exported during the investigation period by this company to the Community. The complainant neither produced nor intends to produce this material in the near future. This special type has therefore been excluded from the investigation.
C. Dumping
(i) Normal value
(8) With regard to mica heater sheets, normal value was determined for each thickness on the basis of weighted average domestic prices charged by Nippon Rika to independent customers. In the absence of domestic sales of the thickness exported, normal value was determined on the basis of an arithmetic average price between the two thicknesses nearest to the exported product.
As far as fire resistant insulating tape, i.e. AMS 864 G, is concerned, which was not sold on the domestic market during the investigation period, normal value was based - in the absence of domestic sales of the same size as that of the exports to the Community - on constructed value determined by adding the average cost of production of all sizes of the like product, i.e. T 512 A, plus the average margin of profit realized for that product on the domestic market.
(ii) Export price
(9) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
(iii) Comparison
(10) The normal value was compared with the export prices for the corresponding type and thickness of the product on a transaction by transaction basis. All comparisons were made at ex-works level.
(11) The exporting company claimed several adjustments pursuant to Article 2 (9) and (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 for differences affecting price comparability. To the extent that the company had proven its claims adjustments were made for directly related selling expenses, such a transport, insurance, loading, anciliary costs, credit terms and commissions.
(12) The exporting company also claimed an adjustment of the normal value pursuant to Article 2 (10) (c) (iv) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 for additional services rendered, when the product was sold on the domestic market. The company claimed that the amount of the adjustment should correspond to the direct costs incurred for cutting the product concerned into slices.
This adjustment could not be granted, since Article 2 (10) (c) (iv) only covers after-sales services, whereas the services allegedly being rendered related to pre-sales services. In addition, this request was made outside the time limit.
(iv) Dumping margin
(13) The weighted average dumping margin calculated on this basis amounts to 41,26 % for the mica heater sheets and to 5,7 % for the fire-resistant cable, the margins of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeds the prices for exports to the Community, duly adjusted.
D. Injury
(14) As Italy was allegedly the only part of the Community market where losses were incurred by the complainant and to where 70 % of the Japanese exports were directed, the investigation concentrated particularly on this market.
With regard to the injury allegedly being caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission showed that Japanese exports of mica to the Community increased from zero in 1984 to 40,5 tonnes in 1987 and to 102,5 tonnes during the investigation period.
Exports of mica from Japan into Italy increased from zero tonnes in 1984 through 1987 to 87 tonnes during the investigation period, with a consequent increase in market share held by the exporting country from 0 % in 1984 to 17,6 % during the same period.
When assessing the market shares held by the suppliers of mica to the Italian market, account has to be taken of the fact that the consumption of mica on this market increased from 448 tonnes in 1984 to 542 tonnes in 1985, i.e. by 20,9 % and decreased to 508 tonnes, i.e. by 6,3 % in 1986. In 1987 it increased to 634 tonnes, i.e. by 24,8 % and decreased to 618 tonnes, i.e. by 2,5 % during the investigation period.
This development shows an overall increase in the consumption of mica in Italy by 38 % from 1984 to the investigation period. In the absence of production of mica in Italy the figures relating to consumption and market shares were calculated on the basis of the imports from Japan and supplies from other Member States.
(15) With regard to the resale prices of these imports on the Italian market, it was found that during the period under investigation the Japanese product undercut the prices of the complainant Community producer by 21,5 % (weighted average margin).
(16) With regard to the possible impact of the dumped imports on the situation of the complainant Community producer, account has been taken of the following factors (the following figures cover the three types of mica products mentioned under recital 7):
(a) the complainant increased its production capacity by 18,3 % in 1985, by 29,8 % in 1986, by 32,5 % in 1987 and by 1,6 % during the investigation period. This development corresponds to an increase of more than 100 % between 1984 and 1988.
The increase in production capacity took place mainly in order to meet estimated market requirements outside the Community, in particular in the Far East; (b) the complainant's production increased by 18,3 % in 1985, by 29,5 % in 1986 and by 21,7 % in 1987 and decreased by 2,8 % during the investigation period.
(c) after remaining stable between 1984 and 1986 the complainant's capacity utilization decreased by 7,9 % in 1987 but only by 2,9 % during the investigation period;
(d) with regard to the complainant's sales in the Community and in particular on the Italian market the following findings were made:
(i) Community-wide sales of all mica products increased steadily from 1984 to 1988 with an increase of 9 % during the investigation period;
(ii) Community-wide sales of mica heater sheets increased by 12,2 % in 1985, by 26,8 % in 1986, by 2,2 % in 1987 and by 2,4 % during the investigation period;
(iii) on the Italian market sales of mica heater sheets remained stable or even increased, with the exception of the sales to only one of the complainant's major customers. The latter decreased by 7,4 % in 1985 and by 9,1 % in 1986; they remained stable in 1987 and decreased by 48 % during the investigation period;
(e) as far as the development of the complainant's market share on a Community-wide basis and in Italy is concerned the following findings were made. (In the absence of figures concerning sales by non-complainant Community producers, market shares are based on the complainant's market knowledge.):
(i) it's market share for all mica products in the Community decreased from 44 % in 1984 to 42 % during the investigation period;
(ii) its market share for mica heater sheets in the Community decreased from 72 % in 1984 to 71,1 % in 1985, it increased again to 72,1 % in 1986 and decreased to 69,8 % in 1987 and to 65,2 % during the investigation period;
(iii) on the Italian market the complainant's market share for mica heater sheets decreased from 69 % in 1984 to 46 % during the investigation period, its market share for all mica products decreasing by only 7 %;
(f) with regard to the complainant's profitability it was found that its profits on sales of all mica products, and in particular of sales of mica heater sheets in the Community, were already significant in 1984 and further increased by 30 % and 20 % respectively between 1984 and 1988;
(g) the personnel employed by the complainant in the mica sector remained stable throughout the period 1984 to 1988.
(17) Although some injury has been established on the Italian market, where the complainant realized about 20 % of his turnover in mica heater sheets in the Community, it is considered that this does not constitute material injury.
E. Threat of injury
(18) In order to examine the allegations made by the complainant with regard to a situation of threat of injury, the Commission carefully examined the telexes sent to the complainant by one of the other Japanese producers of mica, i.e. Okabe Mica Co. Ltd, and the activities of this company, which threatened to retaliate against the complainant by selling huge quantities of mica at very low prices in the Community.
However, it was considered that, in the absence of any exports of mica by Okabe Mica Co. Ltd to the Community either during the investigation period or afterwards, there was insufficient evidence to indicate that the intention declared by this firm would lead to a situation wherein the threats are likely to develop into actual injury.
(19) With regard to Nippon Rika, the only Japanese producer who in fact exported mica to the Community, there is no evidence to indicate any probability of an increase in exports of mica to the Community by this company.
(20) In these circumstances it is considered that a change of circumstances which would create a situation in which the dumping could cause injury cannot at present be clearly foreseen and is not imminent.
F. Termination of the proceeding
(21) The proceeding concerning imports of mica originating in Japan should therefore be terminated without the imposition of measures.
(22) No objections to this course of action were raised in the Advisory Committee. (23) The complainant was informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate this proceeding. Subsequently, the complainant made its comments known to the Commission. However, these comments concerning the findings of threat of injury are not substantiated and cannot therefore be considered as affecting at present the findings outlined above with regard to injury and threat of injury.
The exporter was also informed of the dumping findings but did not significantly challenge the Commission's calculations,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of mica originating in Japan is hereby terminated.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 of 17 May 1977 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1353/86 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1715/86 (4), provides that processing contracts for lemons to be delivered to the industry must be concluded before either 20 May or 20 November each year;

Whereas, to ensure proper management of the market and normal deliveries of the product to the processing industry, the period allowed for such contracts to be concluded during the current marketing year should be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
By way of derogation from Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, the time limit for concluding contracts for lemons which must be delivered to the industry during the period 1 December 1987 to 31 May 1988 is hereby fixed at 31 December 1987.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1516/71 (1) of 12 July 1971 introducing a system of subsidies for cotton seeds, and in particular Article 1 (5) thereof;
Whereas Article 4 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 (2) of 30 July 1968 laying down rules for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 653/68 (3) on conditions for alterations to the value of the unit of account used for the common agricultural policy, provides that for transactions carried out pursuant to provisions on the common agricultural policy the sums owed by a Member State or a duly authorized body, expressed in national currency and representing amounts fixed in units of account are to be paid on the basis of the relationship between the unit of account and the national currency which obtained at the time when the transaction or part transaction was carried out;
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 provides that the time when a transaction is carried out is to be considered to be the date on which occurs the event, as defined by Community rules, or, in the absence of and pending adoption of such rules, by the rules of the Member State concerned, in which the amount involved in the transaction becomes due and payable;
Whereas the event in which the subsidy for cotton seeds becomes due and payable occurs at the time when the cotton is produced ; whereas, however, it is very difficult to establish the exact date of production for a given lot;
Whereas experience has shown that production of cotton is almost entirely completed during the month of October of each year at the latest ; whereas in order to ensure uniform operation of the system of subsidies, the conversion rate to be used to calculate the amounts of the subsidy in the relevant national currency should be the rate applicable at the end of that month;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The event within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 in which the subsidy for cotton seeds becomes due and payable shall be considered to have occurred on 1 November following the beginning of each marketing year.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1975.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) and Article 8(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) establishes the sanitary conditions for the importation into the Community of live animals excluding equidae, and the importation of fresh meat of such animals, including equidae, but excluding meat preparations.
(2) Decision 79/542/EEC provides that imports of fresh meat intended for human consumption are only allowed if such meat comes from a territory of a third country or a part thereof listed in Part 1 of Annex II to that Decision, and the fresh meat meets the requirements set out in the appropriate veterinary certificate for that meat in accordance with the models set out in Part 2 of that Annex, taking into account any specific conditions or supplementary guarantees required for the meat.
(3) Decision 79/542/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2008/642/EC (3), inter alia, reinstated the States of Paraná and São Paulo in the entry for Brazil in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC, with code of territory BR-3 for the importation into the Community of bovine de-boned and matured meat from animals slaughtered on or after 1 August 2008.
(4) Decision 79/542/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2008/883/EC (4), further amended that Annex as regards the entry for Brazil with code of territory BR-1 in order to re-instate Mato Grosso do Sul and include the rest of the States of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso in order to allow the importation into the Community of bovine de-boned and matured meat from animals slaughtered on or after 1 December 2008. However, Article 2 of Decision 2008/883/EC allows the importation into the Community of consignments of fresh de-boned and matured beef from the territory with code BR-1 as defined in Decision 2008/642/EC and obtained from animals slaughtered before 1 December 2008 until 14 January 2009.
(5) More time should be given to allow stocks of bovine meat from animals slaughtered on or before 1 December 2008 from the territory of Brazil with code BR-1 as set out in the entry for that country in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC, as amended by Decision 2008/642/EC, to continue to be able to be imported into the Community as there are no animal health concerns, being those territories already authorised before that date for import of fresh meat into the Community. Accordingly, Article 2 of Decision 2008/883/EC should be amended in order to allow such imports until 30 June 2009.
(6) Decision 2008/883/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Decision 2008/883/EC, Article 2 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 2

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 (2), and in particular Article 12 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in accordance with commercial practice, olive oil is generally marketed during the first 11 months of the marketing year ; whereas, to avoid speculative transactions, it should be provided that for the last month of the marketing year the intervention agencies are to buy in oil at the price applying at the beginning of that marketing year;
Whereas olive oil held by the intervention agencies must be put up for sale without any discrimination between Community purchasers and on the most favourable economic terms ; whereas the sale by tender appears to be the most appropriate system for this purpose;
Whereas, however, in certain special situations it may be advisable to use procedures other than tendering;
Whereas, with a view to organizing the intervention system on a rational basis, intervention centres should be established by reference both to the volume of production of the various olive oil producing areas and also to the storage facilities available in places which may be designated as intervention centres;
Whereas Council Regulation No 164/66/EEC of 27 October 1966 determining the main intervention centres for olive oil and laying down the criteria to be applied when other intervention centres are being determined (3) should be repealed,
The intervention agencies appointed by the producer Member States shall buy in olive oil: - during the months of August and September, at the intervention price applying during July,
- during the month of October, at the intervention price applying during the first month of the current marketing year.
1. Olive oil held by the intervention agencies shall be put up for sale by tender.
However, where special conditions so warrant, another selling procedure may be used.
2. The conditions of sale by tender or of any other selling procedure must ensure equal access and treatment to all parties, whatever their place of establishment in the Community.
The intervention centres must be situated in an area with an average annual olive oil production of not less than 1 000 tonnes. They may be set up only in places where adequate facilities exist for storing the oil offered for intervention.
Regulation No 164/66/EEC is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1979.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas in the case of white wines offered for import under the name "Riesling" or "Sylvaner" account should be taken of the relevant provisions adopted by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2133/74 of 8 August 1974 laying down general rules for the description and presentation of wines and grape musts (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1168/76 (7);

- the potential alcoholic strength in the case of a concentrated or unconcentrated grape juice (including grape must), whether red or white,
- the total alcoholic strength in the case of a grape must with fermentation arrested by the addition of alcohol,
by the amount fixed per degree/hl for that product.
However, products which have an alcoholic strength of less than 8 75ยบ shall be subject to the countervailing charge applicable to a product having an alcoholic strength equal to 8 75ยบ."
4. Article 8 is hereby repealed.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1208/2002
of 4 July 2002
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1052/2002(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2002.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of common wheat to certain third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 936/2006 (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (3), the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 30 June to 7 July 2006, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 936/2006, the maximum refund on exportation of common wheat shall be 2,00 EUR/t.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3680/93 of 20 December 1993 fixing catch possibilities for 1994 for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks in the Regulatory Area as defined in the NAFO Convention (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1043/94 (3), provides for cod quotas for 1994;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made of vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of NAFO zone 3M by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal have reached the quota allocated for 1994; whereas Portugal has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 6 December 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of cod in the waters of NAFO zone 3M by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Portugal for 1994.
Fishing for cod in the waters of NAFO zone 3M by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

The intervention agency may be represented by a proxy, provided this is not the storer.
Reference samples for counter-analysis shall be taken and analysed within seven working days of the date of the successful tenderer's request or within three working days if the samples are taken on removal from storage.
In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded electronically to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 75 kg/hl,

(a) accept the lot as established, or
(b) refuse to take over the lot concerned.

Should the cases mentioned in Article 7(2)(b) and 7(3) arise, the successful tenderer may ask the intervention agency to supply an alternative lot of common wheat of the requisite quality, at no extra cost. In that case, the security shall not be released. The lot must be replaced within three days of the date of the successful tenderer's request. The successful tenderer shall immediately inform the Commission thereof using the form in Annex I.
If, as a result of successive replacements, the successful tenderer has not received a replacement lot of the quality laid down within one month of the date of the request for a replacement, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency have been immediately informed using the form in Annex I.
1. If the common wheat is removed before the results of the analyses provided for in Article 6 are known, all risks shall be borne by the successful tenderer from the time the lot is removed, without prejudice to any means of redress the tenderer might have against the storer.
2. The costs of taking the samples and conducting the analyses provided for in Article 6, with the exception of those referred to in Article 7(3), shall be borne by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) for up to one analysis per 500 tonnes, with the exception of the cost of inter-bin transfers.

Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 19,891 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 2005.

Acting on the basis of Article 2(1), second subparagraph, second sentence, of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the "Schengen Protocol");
(1) Whereas pursuant to Article 2(1), first subparagraph, of the Schengen Protocol, the Schengen acquis as defined in the Annex to the Protocol shall, from the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, immediately apply to the thirteen Member States referrred to in Article 1 of the Protocol, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2(2) of the Protocol;
(2) Whereas nothing in this Decision affects the continuation of legal obligations under the 1990 Convention;
(3) Whereas the mandate conferred upon the Council by Article 2(1), second subparagraph, of the Schengen Protocol, to determine, acting unanimously and in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaties, the legal basis for each of the provisions or decisions which constitute the Schengen acquis, has as one of its objectives the identification of the legal basis for any future proposals and initiatives to amend or build upon the Schengen acquis, which, in accordance with Article 5(1), first subparagraph, of the Schengen Protocol, are subject to the relevant provisions of the Treaties, including those governing the form of the act to be adopted and the procedure for its adoption;
(4) Whereas some provisions of the 1990 Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement require Contracting States to introduce penalties for their effective enforcement without, however, requiring any harmonisation of these penalties; whereas therefore, the legal basis to be determined for these provisions should be the one determined for the rules the breach of which has to be subject to sanctions, without prejudice to the legal basis for any future measure aiming at the harmonisation of penalties;

(6) Whereas the determination of a legal basis in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaties for each of the provisions or decisions which constitute the Schengen acquis, or the determination that a legal basis is unnecessary for any such provisions or decisions, does not affect the right of Member States to carry out checks on goods linked to prohibitions or restrictions laid down by the Member States, and which are compatible with Community law;
(7) Whereas the determination of a legal basis in conformity with the Treaty establishing the European Community for the provisions of the 1990 Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement relating in particular to the conditions for entry into the territory of the Contracting States or for issuing visas does not affect current rules governing the recognition of the validity of travel documents;
(8) Whereas the rights and obligations of Denmark are governed by Article 3 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union and in Articles 1 to 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark;
(9) Whereas the relationship between the Protocol on the position of Denmark, the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and of Ireland on certain questions regarding the Treaty establishing the European Community and Treaty on European Union and the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union, on the basis of which various forms are prescribed for the adoption of and participation in the Schengen acquis and its further development, should be taken into account when Schengen is incorporated into the European Union;
(10) Whereas the Schengen Protocol itself provides for the association of the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway with the implementation of the Schengen acquis and its further development on the basis of the Agreement signed in Luxembourg on 19 December 1996;
(11) Whereas the acts adopted on the basis of a proposal or an initiative for the further development of the Schengen acquis shall contain a reference to the Schengen Protocol, so that legal security is guaranteed and the provisions related to the Schengen Protocol can be applied in every case;
(12) Whereas, while having regard to Article 134 of the Convention implementing Schengen, the integration of the Schengen acquis in the framework of the European Community does not affect Member States' competence in relation to the recognition of States and territorial units, their authorities and travel and other documents issued by them,

of 27 February 1989
fixing the percentages of table wine production to be delivered for compulsory distillation as provided for in Article 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the 1988/89 wine year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2964/88 (2), and in particular Article 39 (9), (10) and (11) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1596/88 (4), lays down the detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 85/89 (5) opens compulsory distillation as provided for in Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the 1988/89 wine year and fixes the total quantity to be distilled in the Community and the quantities to be distilled in the various regions;
Whereas production in the various regions should be apportioned between the various yield classes;
Whereas Article 39 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that, in the case of producers who are required to distil, the quantity to be distilled must equal a percentage to be fixed of their table wine production, such percentage being obtained from an incremental scale based on yield per hectare; whereas the percentages of the production of each such producer which must be delivered for distillation should therefore be fixed; whereas, while being based on objective criteria, those percentages must be adapted to the situation of each region; whereas the scales used must allow a quantity of table wine corresponding to the obligation provided for in Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 85/89 to be deducted from a region's quantity; whereas that obligation applies only in the case of producers who are required to submit production declarations and who market the products concerned; whereas the yield classes should accordingly set out only the quantities covered by the production declarations on which the scale is based;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions on the fixing of the scale provided for in the fourth subparagraph of Article 39 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, and applicable from the 1988/89 wine year, reference must me made to the average yield of each production region when drawing up the scales;
Whereas the quantity of table wine to be distilled compulsorily during the 1988/89 wine year is not the result of a production surplus as production was lower than normal foreseeable consumption, but of a level of stocks at the beginning of the wine year which was incommensurate with market balance; whereas, in these circumstances, the application of the criteria laid down for the determination of the obligation on producers would result in a scale being adopted which is not incremental, in particular for region 4; whereas, as a consequence, a scale should be established which while being incremental and thus penalizing the highest yields, does not lead to an overrun in the limits on quantities fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 85/89;
Whereas the Management Committee for wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Pursuant to Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88, production from the 1988/89 harvest shall be broken down into the following yield classes:
(a) region 3:
Production obtained with a yield, expressed in hectolitres per hectare, of:
- up to 90: 20 147 671 hectolitres,
- 90 or more, but not
more than 110: 3 930 676 hectolitres,
- more than 110, but not
more than 140: 1 084 123 hectolitres,
- more than 140, but not
more than 200: 444 466 hectolitres,
- more than 200: 1 078 408 hectolitres;
(b) region 4:
Production obtained with a yield, expressed in hectolitres per hectare, of:
- not more than 60: 9 572 020 hectolitres,
- more than 60, but not
more than 90: 14 366 493 hectolitres,
- more than 90, but not
more than 110: 8 218 866 hectolitres,
- more than 110, but not
more than 140: 6 121 148 hectolitres,
- more than 140, but not
more than 200: 3 487 735 hectolitres,
- more than 200: 146 230 hectolitres.
2. The average yield in production region 3 shall be 65 hectolitres per hectare; in region 4 it shall be 77 hectolitres per hectare.
3. For the purposes of determining the quantity to be delivered for distillation by each producer:
(a) in region 3:
- for production obtained with a yield lower than 90 hectolitres per hectare, the coefficient applicable shall be 0,0,
- for production obtained with a yield higher than or equal to 90 hectolitres per hectare, the following coefficients shall apply to the portion of production corresponding to the yield classes set out below, expressed in hectolitres per hectare:
- from 0 to 90: 0,13,
- more than 90, but not more than 95: 0,20,
- more than 95, but not more than 110: 2,29,
- more than 110, but not more than 140: 2,52,
- more than 140 1,44;
(b) in regon 4:
- for production obtained with a yield lower than 60 hectolitres per hectare, the coefficient applicable shall be 0,0,
- for production obtained with a yield higher than or equal to 60 hectolitres per hectare, the following coefficients shall apply to the portion of production corresponding to the yield classes set out below, expressed in hectolitres per hectare:
- from 0 to 90: 0,13,
- more than 90, but not more than 110: 0,60,
- more than 110, but not more than 140: 1,00,
- more than 140, but not more than 154: 1,35,
- more than 154: 1,00.
The quantity that each producer is required to deliver for distillation shall be determined by multiplying the quantity referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 by the percentage shown in the table in the Annex which corresponds to the yield determined in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation. The yield shall, where appropriate, be rounded down to the nearest unit (hectolitres per hectare).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1555/98 of 17 July 1998 establishing administration procedures for the 1999 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China (3), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1555/98 established the portion of each of the quotas concerned reserved for traditional and other importers and the conditions and methods for participating in the allocation of the quantities available; whereas importers have lodged applications for import licences with the competent national authorities between 19 July and 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 11 September, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1555/98;
Whereas the Commission has received from the Member States, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1555/98, particulars of the numbers and aggregate volume of import licence applications submitted and the total volume imported by traditional importers in 1996 or 1997, the reference years;
Whereas the Commission is now able, on the basis of that information, to establish uniform quantitative criteria by which the competent national authorities may satisfy licence applications submitted by importers in the Member States for the 1999 quantitative quotas;
Whereas examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by traditional importers for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them; whereas the applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction/increase shown in Annex I to the volume of each importer's imports, expressed in quantity or value terms, over the reference period;
Whereas examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by non-traditional importers for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them; whereas the applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex II to the amounts requested by each importer, as limited by Regulation (EC) No 1555/98;
Whereas examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the total applications submitted by non-traditional importers for products listed in Annex III to this Regulation amount to less than the portion of the quota set aside for them; whereas those applications should therefore be met in full, up to the maximum amount that can be requested by each importer under Regulation (EC) No 1555/98,
In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex I duly submitted by traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to his imports for 1996 or 1997, as indicated by the importer, adjusted by the rate of reduction/increase specified in the said Annex for each quota.
Where the use of this quantitative criterion would entail allocating an amount greater than that applied for, the quantity or value allocated shall be limited to that specified in the application.
In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex II duly submitted by non-traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to the amount requested within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 1555/98, adjusted by the rate of reduction specified in the said Annex for each quota.
Licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex III duly submitted by non-traditional importers shall be met in full by the competent national authorities, within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 1555/98.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 61/92 (2), and in particular Article 8 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the storage costs for sugar and syrups shall be reimbursed at a flat rate by the Member States;
Whereas Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3042/78 (4), provides that the amount of the levy for Community sugar shall be calculated by dividing the total estimated reimbursement by the estimated quantity of sugar which will be marketed during the sugar marketing year in question; whereas the total estimated reimbursement is to be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the amounts carried forward from previous marketing years;
Whereas Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the monthly reimbursement amount shall be fixed by the Council simultaneously with the derived intervention prices; whereas the amount for 1992/93 as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1749/92 (5), is ECU 0,52 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77, the quantity in store to be taken into account for the reimbursement of any one month's storage costs is equal to the arithmetic mean of the quantities held in store in the beginning and at the end of the month in question; whereas, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the quantities of Community sugar in store each month may be estimated by reference to estimated stocks at the beginning of the marketing year, estimated monthly production and the quantities likely to be marketed for domestic consumption or exported during the same month; whereas total average monthly stocks during the 1992/93 marketing year can be estimated at approximately 76 million tonnes of sugar expressed as white sugar; whereas the total reimbursement for Community sugar can thus be estimated at approximately ECU 397 million for the 1992/93, marketing year; whereas the balance of previous sugar marketing years can be estimated at a positive amount of ECU 62 million; whereas the detailed rules for the application of the system of offsetting storage costs for sugar provide that the levy is to be fixed per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas the quantity of Community sugar which will be marketed during the 1992/93, marketing year for home consumption or for export may be estimated at approximately 13,4 million tonnes of sugar expressed as white sugar; whereas the amount of the levy for Community sugar should therefore be ECU 2,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
For the 1992/93 marketing year, the amount of the levy referred to under the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby fixed at ECU 2,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);
Whereas the technical requirements with which tractors must comply pursuant to national laws relate, inter alia, to the suppression of radio interference;
Whereas these requirements differ from one Member State to another ; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements either in addition to or in place of their existing rules, in particular to allow the EEC type approval procedure which was the subject of Council Directive 74/150/EEC (3) of 4 March 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors to be applied in respect of each type of tractor,
1. "Agricultural or forestry tractor" means any motor vehicle fitted with wheels or caterpillar tracks and having at least two axles, the main function of which lies in its tractive power and which is specially designed to tow, push, carry or power certain tools, machinery or trailers intended for agricultural or forestry use. It may be equipped to carry a load and passengers.
2. This Directive shall apply only to tractors defined in the preceding paragraph, fitted with pneumatic tyres, and which have two axles and a maximum design speed of between 6 and 25 km/h and a spark-ignition engine.
No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type approval or national type approval of a tractor on grounds relating to the radio interference produced by the spark-ignition system of its propulsion engine if such tractors are fitted with interference suppression equipment meeting the requirements of the Annexes.
No Member State may refuse the registration or prohibit the sale, entry into service or use of a tractor on grounds relating to the radio interference produced by the spark-ignition system of its propulsion engine if such tractors are fitted with interference suppression equipment meeting the requirements of the Annexes.
A Member State which has granted type approval shall take the necessary measures to be informed of any modification of a part or characteristic referred to in 2.2 - Annex I. The competent authorities of that State shall determine whether fresh tests should be carried out on the modified type of the tractor and a fresh report drawn up. Where such tests reveal failure to comply with the requirements of this Directive, the modification shall not be approved. (1)OJ No C 160, 18.12.1969, p. 29. (2)OJ No C 48, 16.4.1969, p. 21. (3)OJ No L 84, 28.3.1974, p. 10.
The amendments necessary for adapting the requirements of the Annexes to technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 74/150/EEC.
1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1244/2004
of 6 July 2004
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the granting of private storage aid for certain cheeses in the 2004/05 storage period
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 private storage aid may be granted for long-keeping cheeses and for cheeses which are manufactured from sheeps’ and/or goats’ milk and require at least six months for maturing, if for those cheeses price developments and the stock situation indicate a serious imbalance of the market which may be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage.
(2) The seasonal nature of the production of certain long-keeping cheeses and Pecorino Romano, Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheese is aggravated by the fact that the seasonality of consumption is the inverse of the seasonality of production. The fragmented production of such cheeses further aggravates the consequences of that seasonality. Therefore, provision should be made for recourse to seasonal storage in respect of a quantity corresponding to the difference between summer and winter production.
(3) The types of cheeses, including those from the new Member States, eligible for aid and the maximum quantities which may qualify for it should be laid down, as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question. The cheeses eligible for aid in Ireland should also be specified, targeting those which might cause a market imbalance.
(4) The market situation of Pecorino Romano, with surpluses and a marked drop in prices, justifies making a larger quantity of that cheese eligible for aid than in the past.
(5) It is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract and the essential measures to enable the cheese covered by a contract to be identified and subjected to checks. The amount of aid must be fixed with reference to storage costs and the balance to be maintained between cheeses qualifying for the aid and other cheeses marketed. To that end the amount for the fixed costs should be reduced and the amount for the financial costs should be calculated on the basis of an interest rate of 2 %.
(6) Detailed rules should also be laid down regarding documentation, accounting and the frequency and nature of checks. In this connection, it should be laid down that the Member States may charge the costs of checks fully or in part charged to the contractor.
(7) To ensure monitoring of the implementation of the storage aid scheme, information about the quantities of cheese involved should be transmitted to the Commission on a regular basis.
(8) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman,
Purpose
This Regulation lays down the detailed rules for granting Community aid for private storage of certain cheeses (hereinafter referred to as ‘aid’) pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 during the 2004/05 storage year.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation:
(a) ‘storage lot’ means a quantity of cheese weighing at least two tonnes, of the same type and taken into storage in a single storage depot on a single day;
(b) ‘day of commencement of contractual storage’, means the day following that of entry into storage;
(c) ‘last day of contractual storage’, means the day before that of removal from storage;
(d) ‘storage period’, means the period during which the cheese can be covered by the private storage scheme, as specified for each type of cheese in the Annex.
Cheeses eligible for aid
1. Aid shall be granted in respect of certain long-keeping cheeses, Pecorino Romano, Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheese under the terms laid down in the Annex.
2. The cheeses must have been manufactured in the Community and satisfy the following conditions:
(a) be indelibly marked with an indication of the undertaking in which they were manufactured and of the day and month of manufacture; the above details may be in code form;
(b) have undergone quality tests which establish their classification after maturing in the categories laid down in the Annex.
Storage contract
1. Contracts relating to the private storage of cheese shall be concluded between the intervention agency of the Member State on whose territory the cheese is stored and natural or legal persons, hereinafter called ‘contractors’.
2. Storage contracts shall be drawn up in writing on the basis of an application to draw up a contract.
Applications must reach intervention agencies within no more than 30 days of the date of entry into storage and may relate only to lots of cheese which have been fully taken into storage. The intervention agencies shall register the date on which each application is received.
If the application reaches the intervention agency within 10 working days following the deadline, the storage contract may still be concluded but the aid shall be reduced by 30 %.
3. Storage contracts shall be concluded for one or more storage lots and shall include, in particular, provisions concerning:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract applies;
(b) the dates relating to the execution of the contract;
(c) the amount of aid;
(d) the identity of the storage depots.
4. Storage contracts shall be concluded within no more than 30 days of the date of registration of the application to draw up a contract.
5. Control measures, particularly those referred to in Article 7, shall be the subject of specifications drawn up by the intervention agency. The storage contract shall refer to those specifications.
Entry into and removal from storage
1. The periods of entry into and removal from storage shall be as laid down in the Annex.
2. Removal from storage shall be in whole storage lots.
3. Where, at the end of the first 60 days of contractual storage, the deterioration in the quality of the cheese is greater than is normal in store, contractors may be authorised, once per storage lot, to replace the defective quantity, at their own expense.
If checks during storage or on removal from storage reveal defective quantities, no aid may be paid for those quantities. In addition, the part of the lot which is still eligible for aid may not be less than two tonnes.
The second subparagraph shall apply where part of a lot is removed before the start of the period of removal from storage referred to in paragraph 1 or before expiry of the minimum storage period referred to in Article 8(2).
4. For the purpose of calculating the aid in the case referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, the first day of contractual storage shall be the day of commencement of contractual storage.
Storage conditions
1. The Member State shall ensure that all the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor or, at the request of the Member State or with its authorisation, the person responsible for the storage depot, shall make available to the competent authority responsible for inspection any documentation permitting verification of the following particulars of products placed in private storage:
(a) ownership at the time of placing in storage;
(b) the origin and the date of manufacture of the cheeses;
(c) the date of placing in storage;
(d) presence in the store and the address of the store;
(e) the date of removal from storage.
3. The contractor or, where applicable, the person responsible for the storage depot shall keep stock records available at the depot for each contract, covering:
(a) the identification, by storage lot number, of the products placed in private storage;
(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;
(c) the number of cheeses and their weight by storage lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable, easily accessible and identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to stored cheeses.
Checks
1. On entry into storage the competent agency shall conduct checks, in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
2. The competent agency shall make an unannounced check, by sampling, to ensure that the products are present in the storage depot. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure.
Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in Article 6(3), a physical check of the weight and type of products and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subjected to the unannounced check.
3. At the end of the contractual storage period, the competent agency shall check to see that products are present. However, where the products are still in storage after expiry of the maximum contractual storage period, this check may be made when the products are removed from storage.
For the purposes of the check referred to in the first subparagraph, the contractor shall notify the competent authority, indicating the storage lots concerned, at least five working days before the expiry of the contractual storage period or the start of the removal operations, where these take place during or after the contractual storage period.
The Member State may accept a shorter time-limit than the five working days specified in the second subparagraph.
4. A report shall be drawn up on the checks carried out pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, specifying:
(a) the date of the check;
(b) its duration;
(c) the operations carried out.
The report must be signed by the inspector responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, as the case may be, the person responsible for the storage depot, and must be included in the payment dossier.
5. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products checked, the check shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent authority.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
6. Member States may provide that the costs of checks are to be fully or in part charged to the contractor.
Storage aid
1. The aid shall be as follows:
(a) EUR 10 per tonne for the fixed costs;
(b) EUR 0,25 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the warehousing costs;
(c) for the financial costs per day of contractual storage:
(i) EUR 0,23 per tonne for long-keeping cheeses,
(ii) EUR 0,28 per tonne for Pecorino Romano,
(iii) EUR 0,39 per tonne for Kefalotyri and Kasseri.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days. The maximum aid payable shall not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days’ storage under contract.
Where the contractor fails to comply with the time-limit referred to in the second or, as the case may be, third subparagraph of Article 7(3), the aid shall be reduced by 15 % and shall be paid only in respect of the period for which the contractor supplies satisfactory proof to the competent agency that the cheeses have remained in contractual storage.
3. The aid shall be paid on application by the contractor, at the end of the contractual storage period, within 120 days of receipt of the application, provided that the checks referred to in Article 7(3) have been carried out and that the conditions for entitlement to the aid have been met.
However, if it has been necessary to commence an administrative inquiry into entitlement to the aid, payment shall not be made until entitlement has been recognised.

— Pecorino Romano,
— Kefalotyri and Kasseri;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular points 11.1 and 11.3 of Annex IIA,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 fixes for the year 2007 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, and the associated conditions under which such fishing opportunities may be used.
(2) Annex IIA to Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 specifies the maximum number of days per year for which a Community fishing vessel may be present within any one of the geographical areas as defined in point 2.1 of that Annex having carried on board one of the fishing gears referred to in point 4.1 thereof.
(3) Annex IIA enables the Commission to allocate three additional days at sea on which a vessel may be present within those areas when carrying on board any of the gears referred to in point 4.1 of that Annex on the basis of an enhanced programme of observer coverage in partnership between scientists and the fishing industry.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 3(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), intervention measures to regulate agricultural markets are financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF).
(2) Article 4(1)(a) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) of intervention measures in the form of public storage operations and the accounting of public storage operations by the paying agencies of the Member States (3) provides that expenditure relating to the financial costs incurred by Member States in mobilising funds to buy in products is to be determined in accordance with the methods set out in Annex IV to that Regulation on the basis of a uniform interest rate for the Community.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1690/94 of 12 July 1994 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 as regards the granting of private storage aid for certain fishery products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1891/93 (2), and in particular Article 16 (5) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides for private storage aid to be granted to producers' organizations in respect of the products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas experience has shown that the implementing rules set out in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2415/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3516/93 (4), require clarification and simplification to improve their efficiency and make them easier to apply by producers' organizations; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2415/89 should therefore be replaced by this Regulation;
Whereas private storage aid may be granted if the average prices attained over a significant period are below a given level; whereas, to determine those prices, it is necessary to define what is meant by the selling price realized by the producers' organizations or their members within the framework of the present arrangements;
Whereas the significant period to be taken into account for appraisal of the market in question should be defined;
Whereas, to help ensure product quality and to facilitate the disposal of the products on the market, the requirements to be satisfied by operations qualifying for the aid should be laid down, together with the requirements for the storage and return to the market of the products concerned;
Whereas the technical and financial costs of storage should be defined;
Whereas the storage period to be taken into account when granting the aid should be determined;
Whereas, to increase the efficiency of checks, the recipients of the aid must keep stock records; whereas these records must contain at least the information necessary for the purposes of the said checks;
Whereas the procedure for submitting applications for the payment of private storage aid should be laid down;
Whereas the procedure should also be laid down for the granting of advance payments, and the amount of the relevant security should be specified;
Whereas minor infringements of the rules concerning private storage aid should not involve total withdrawal of the right to the aid but only a standard reduction thereof; whereas, however, the consequences of a serious infringement or intent to defraud should be laid down;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
This Regulation lays down detailed implementing rules for the granting of the private storage aid referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, hereinafter referred to as the 'basic Regulation'.
The granting of the private storage aid, the period for which it is granted, the products concerned and the amount of the aid shall be determined by means of a Regulation adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 32 of the basic Regulation, where it has been ascertained that the conditions laid down in Article 16 (2) of the basic Regulation are met.
1. The average prices referred to in Article 16 (2) of the basic Regulation shall be determined on the basis of the selling prices invoiced by the producers' organizations or their members at the stage of first-hand sale in the Community.
This selling price shall be fixed:
- in the case of products sold at landing, for merchandise on board, alongside quay,
- in the case of products sold following storage by the producers' organization or its members, at warehouse.
2. The 'significant period' referred to in Article 16 (2) of the basic Regulation shall be at least seven successive market days for the product in question.
1. The amount of the private storage aid shall be fixed at a standard rate per unit of net weight of the products in storage for each calendar month during which the aid is granted.
It shall be calculated on the basis of the technical costs and interest relating to operations indispensable for storage of the products in question as recorded in the Community during the six months prior to the granting of the aid, no account being taken of the highest of such costs.
Where the storage period exceeds one month, the amount shall be fixed each month degressively on the basis of the monthly storage costs.
2. The following shall be considered as technical costs:
- energy costs,
- labour costs relating to storage and release from storage,
- direct packaging costs.
The interest shall be determined on the basis of the average financial costs, recorded in the Community, of the tied-up capital corresponding to the value of the quantities in storage, calculated on the basis of the guide price referred to in Article 9 of the basic Regulation.
In order to qualify for private storage aid during a given fishing year, producers' organizations must, before the beginning of the fishing year in question, adopt in writing appropriate measures as envisaged in accordance with Article 4 (1) of the basic Regulation concerning production and marketing to ensure that the total output of its members is offered for sale:
- through the producers' organization, or
- in accordance with common rules established in advance by the producers' organization.
The private storage aid may be granted only in respect of products which are of sound and fair merchantable quality and which, before being sold:
(a) in the case of storage:
- are or have been stored for a minimum period of 15 days from the date of entry into storage,
- are or have been preserved in conditions which cause no deterioriation in their quality. To this effect, products must be stored in suitable installations where the storage temperature does not exceed 21 °C, without prejudice to more restrictive national requirements or commercial standards imposed in Member States,
- are or have been stored in homogeneous lots of at least five tonnes, or one tonne for shrimps of the Penaeidae family, and kept separate from other products. The stored quantities shall be identified by the fixing on the packaging or on the crates of a label showing in particular the net weight, the date of commencement of storage, the type of product and the storage lot number;
(b) in the case of return to the market:
- are or have been put back on the market in lots which are homogeneous as regards species, presentation and packaging, in accordance with the provisions in force in each Member State for the marketing of products for human consumption.
1. In order to qualify for private storage aid, producers' organizations must notify the competent authorities of the Member State under which it falls, in writing of:
- the quantities, clearly identified, which have been placed in storage or returned to the market,
- the place, the beginning and the end of storage.
2. The information provided for in paragraph 1 shall be notified to the Member States not later than five days after the beginning or end of storage.
The quantities meeting storage requirements laid down in Article 6 (a) shall be deemed to be entitled to private storage aid for the first month of storage.
For subsequent months, entitlement to the aid shall be calculated as a proportion of the actual duration of storage, on the basis of 1/30th of the amount of the aid per day in storage.
The second month of storage shall commence 30 days after the date of commencement of storage.
1. The Member States shall establish a monitoring system to ensure that the products in respect of which private storage aid has been applied for are eligible.
2. For the purposes of monitoring, beneficiaries of the aid shall keep daily stock records and shall communicate the information necessary for monitoring to the competent authorities of the Member State each month.
3. The details to be entered in the physical stock records and the information to be communicated to the competent authorities shall be adopted by the Member State.
4. If a producers' organization hands over to an independent operator the responsibility for storing the products in question, this operator must keep stock records which comply wih the requirements in paragraph 2.
0
1. Private storage aid shall be paid to the producers' organization concerned only after the competent authority of the Member State concerned has ascertained that the quantities in respect of which the aid has been applied for:
- do not exceed the limits laid down in Article 16 (3) of the basic Regulation,
and
- have been stored and returned to the market in accordance with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.
2. Applications for payment of private storage aid shall be submitted by the producers' organization concerned to the competent authorities of the Member State not later than four months after the end of the storage period, fixed in accordance with
6
(4) of the basic Regulation.
The details to be included in the application shall be determined by the Member State.
3. The Member State shall, at the request of the producers' organization concerned, grant an advance of the private storage aid due in respect of the quantities and the period notified in accordance with Article 7, on condition that the producers' organization has lodged a security of not less than 105 % of the amount of the advance.
The balance of the private storage aid shall be paid by the Member State as soon as possible after it has ascertained that the producers' organization is entitled to receive it.
1
1. Where the producers' organization or one of its members is guilty of a lesser infringement of the private storage aid scheme and where it is shown by the said organization, to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned, that such infringement was not committed with intention to defraud or as the result of serious negligence, the Member State shall withhold an amount equal to 10 % of the threshold laid down in Article 16 (2) of the basic Regulation applicable to the quantities concerned in respect of which the private storage aid was to be granted.
The amount withheld shall be credited to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF).
2. Where a producers' organization or one of its members is guilty of an infringement of the private storage aid scheme with the intention to defraud or as the result of serious negligence, no aid shall be granted to that producers' organization for the fishing year in question or the following fishing year. The security referred to in Article 10 (3) shall be forfeit.
3. The Member States shall notify the Commission each month of the cases in which they have applied the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2.
2
The monitoring carried out pursuant to Article 9 shall be set out in a report on the nature and scope of the checks, to be submitted to the Commission in support of the application for payment of private storage aid.

Whereas, Council Directive 85/3/EEC of 19 December 1984 on the weights, dimensions and certain other technical characteristics of certain road vehicles (4), as last amended by Directive 89/461/EEC (5), by only fixing a maximum length for road trains, encourages carriers and manufacturers to continously increase the maximum load length of such vehicles;
Whereas this increase involves a reduction in the space reserved for the driver;
Whereas there is a consequent deterioration in the comfort and safety of the driver's working area;
Whereas the current standards should be improved so as to lead to a better balance between the rational use of road trains and the requirements of road safety, in particular by fixing the maximum load length,
Article 1
Directive 85/3/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following Article is inserted:
'Article 4b
For the purposes of Article 3 (1), road trains the motor vehicle of which was put into circulation before 31 December 1991 which do not comply with the requirements of sections 1.7 and 1.8 of Annex I shall until 31 December 1998 be deemed to conform to such requirements provided that they do not exceed the total length of 18,00 m.';
2. Section 1.1 of Annex I is replaced by the following:
'1.1. Maximum length:
- motor vehicle 12,00 m
- trailer 12,00 m

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(c), Articles 11 and 12 and the third paragraph of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 (2) lays down rules for the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of animals, in relation to bluetongue, in and from the restricted zones. It also establishes the conditions for exemptions from the exit ban applicable to movements of susceptible animals, their semen, ova and embryos provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC.
(2) In the light of new scientific information recently gathered on bluetongue virus pathogenesis related to the possible trans-placental transmission of bluetongue, some precautionary measures should be taken to prevent the possible spread of the disease by pregnant animals or certain newborn animals.
(3) Animals that were immune before artificial insemination or mating, due to vaccination with an inactivated vaccine or due to natural immunity, or that have been protected against vectors' attacks for a certain period and subjected to certain laboratory tests with negative results are not considered to pose any significant risk as regards bluetongue. It should therefore be possible to exempt only such safe pregnant animals from the exit ban.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly. The provisions of this Regulation should, however, be reviewed in the near future in the light of additional knowledge that becomes available.
(5) Where exemptions from the exit ban applicable to movements of animals of susceptible species from the restricted zones are applied to such animals intended for intra-Community trade or for export to a third country, health certificates provided for in Council Directive 64/432/EEC (3), Council Directive 91/68/EEC (4), Council Directive 92/65/EEC (5) and referred to in Commission Decision 93/444/EEC (6) are to include a reference to Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007. It is appropriate to provide for an additional wording to be added to all those health certificates in order to make more explicit the health conditions under which the pregnant animals are exempted from the exit ban.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007, Section A is amended as follows:
1. in point 1, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
2. the following paragraphs are added:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 October 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

78/297/ECSC: Commission Decision of 1 March 1978 approving aids from the Kingdom of Belgium to the coal-mining industry during the year 1977

COMMISSION DECISION of 1 March 1978 approving aids from the Kingdom of Belgium to the coal-mining industry during the year 1977 (Only the French and Dutch texts are authentic) (78/297/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the Belgian Government has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the above Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to take during the year 1977 in order to give direct or indirect support to the coal-mining industry ; whereas, of these measures, the following aids qualify for approval pursuant to that Decision;
Whereas the Belgian Government intends to grant aid totalling Bfrs 5 541 700 000 to cover the pit operating losses of the Belgian coal-mining industry;
Whereas this aid is being granted to the two Belgian coalfields for different reasons ; whereas the Campine coalfield is being given aid to cover pit operating losses in order to offset virtually all the difference between costs and returns ; whereas it is necessary for the difference between costs and returns to be virtually completely covered because this coalfield guarantees the supply of coking coal to the Community steel industry and must therefore maintain its production;
Whereas the purpose and amount of the aid to cover the pit operating losses of the Campine coalfield are therefore compatible with the second paragraph of Article 12 (1) of the Decision;
Whereas, on the other hand, the Sud coalfield should be granted aid in respect of pit operating losses to cover about 80 % of the difference between costs and returns, so that the proposed closure of this coalfield by 1980 can take place without serious economic and social disturbances in the redeployment of the redundant miners ; whereas in 1977 two pits were closed in the Sud coalfield, affecting some 1 600 miners;
Whereas the purpose and type of the aids to cover pit operating losses of the Sud coalfield are therefore compatible with the second subparagraph of Article 12 (1);
II
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (2) of the Decision, all other measures to assist current production in 1977 must be taken into consideration for an examination of the compatibility of the proposed aids with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas, on this basis of assessment, the total amount of aid proposed is 215 200 000 European units of account, that is 30 774 European units of account per tonne ; whereas this figure is exceptionally high compared with that for the other Member States of the Community;
Whereas the following observations can be made on the compatibility of the proposed current production aids with the proper functioning of the common market: - owing to the large stockpiles, there were no supply difficulties in 1977,
- there was no adverse effect on trade in coal between Belgium and the other Member States in 1977,
- the closure of two unprofitable pits will result in rationalization and the concentration of production on pits where productivity is highest,
- the prices of Belgian steam coal in 1977 did not result in indirect aid to industrial consumers of coal,
- the prices of Belgian coking coal matched the prices of US coking coal under long-term contracts and did not result in indirect aid to industrial consumers of coal;
(1) OJ No L 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1. Whereas it may be concluded that the aid granted to the Belgian coal-mining industry in 1977 is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this applies even when account is taken of aids to the coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that any aid it approves is used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof ; whereas the Commission must therefore be informed in particular of the amounts of the payments and the manner in which they are apportioned,
The Government of the Kingdom of Belgium is hereby authorized in respect of the calendar year 1977 to grant aid totalling Bfrs 5 541 700 000 to the Belgian coal-mining industry to cover pit operating losses as follows: - to the Campine coalfield : Bfrs 3 158 600 000,
- to the Sud coalfield : Bfrs 2 383 100 000.
The Government of the Kingdom of Belgium shall notify the Commission by 31 May 1978 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision, and in particular of the amount of the payments made and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia,
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 of 25 February 2013 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of Croatia (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to avoid a disruption on the Union market in the sugar sector following the accession of Croatia to the Union on 1 July 2013, Section 2 of Chapter II of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 lays down rules for the determination and elimination of the quantities of sugar as such or in processed products, isoglucose and fructose exceeding the quantity considered as being normal carry-over stock on 1 July 2013 (surplus quantities). In particular, Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 provides that those surplus quantities are to be eliminated from the market in the form of sugar as such or isoglucose at the expense of Croatia.
(2) Moreover, Section 2 of Chapter II of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 provides that the Commission is to determine the surplus quantities by 31 December 2014 at the latest.
(3) In order to determine the surplus quantities, Article 13(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 provides that Croatia was to communicate to the Commission relevant information on quantities of production, consumption, stocks, export and import, as well as information on the system established for the identification of surplus quantities. On that basis, the Commission should determine the surplus quantities comparing the development in the Croatian sugar market from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013, in relation to the previous three years. Specific circumstances of stock-piling should also be taken into consideration as provided for in Article 7(2)(c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013. In particular, due account needs to be taken of the increase in consumption and stocks in Croatia as well as of the trend in the Union, as also suggested by Croatia.
(4) On the basis of the communications from Croatia, sugar surplus quantities should be determined in accordance with that method.
(5) For the determination of surplus quantities of isoglucose and fructose, the same method was applied. As a result, no surplus quantities of fructose and isoglucose need to be determined.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
The quantities of sugar exceeding the quantity considered as being normal carry-over stock at 1 July 2013 and which have to be eliminated from the Union market at the expense of Croatia in accordance with Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 are 37 138 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001(2), and in particular Article 47(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 of 15 March 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1564/2001(4), lays down buying standards. Pursuant to the above Regulation, an invitation to tender was opened under Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1627/89 of 9 June 1989 on the buying-in of beef by invitation to tender(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1689/2001(6).

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1) and Article 234 (2) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Articles 4 (4), 5 (1) and 11 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas the target price for olive-oil production must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 4 and 6 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;
Whereas the intervention price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3815/92 of 28 December 1992 on application of the common intervention price for olive oil in Spain (5) provides that the common intervention price is to apply in Spain from 1 January 1993;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 741/93 of 17 March 1993 on application of the common intervention price for olive oil in Portugal (6) provides that the common intervention price is to apply in Portugal from 1 April 1993;
Whereas the representative market price must be fixed according to the criteria laid down in Article 7 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;
Whereas the threshold price must be fixed in such a way that the selling price for the imported product at the frontier crossing point determined in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC is the same as the representative market price, account being taken of the effect of the measures referred to in Article 11 (6) of the said Regulation;
Whereas, if producers are to receive a fair income, production aid must be fixed in the light of the impact which the consumption aid has on part only of production;
Whereas Articles 95 and 293 of the Act of Accession make provision for Community aid for the production of olive oil in Spain and Portugal; whereas, pursuant to Articles 79 and 246 of that Act, the Community aid in Spain and Portugal should be aligned on the common aid at the beginning of the marketing year; whereas the rules on that alignment would result in different Spanish and Portuguese aid rates; whereas, however, taking into account the advance application of the common intervention price in those two countries, the same amount of aid should be applied in Spain and Portugal as from the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 5 (4) and 20d (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the percentages of production aid to be allocated to finance measures to improve the quality of olive-oil production and to finance expenditure incurred in the work done by recognized producer organizations or associations thereof in administering and controlling olive-oil production aid, should be determined;
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3416/90 of 27 November 1990 on the introduction of Community aid for the consumption of olive oil in Spain and Portugal (7) lays down criteria for adjusting this aid to the Community level;
Whereas the application of those criteria in Spain and Portugal would entail a serious distortion of the market, given the fact that application of the common intervention price in Spain from 1 January 1993 and in Portugal from 1 April 1993 has led to the abolition of the 'accession' compensatory amounts applicable to trade to and from these countries; whereas, as a result, the criteria in Regulation (EEC) No 3416/90 should be derogated from as regards the amounts of consumption aid applicable in Spain and Portugal, and these should be brought into line with the aid applicable in the Community of Ten;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 (5) and (6) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, a certain percentage of the consumption aid during each olive-oil marketing year is to be used, on the one hand, to finance measures by the recognized trade organizations referred to in paragraph 3 of the abovementioned Article and, on the other hand, to finance measures to promote olive-oil consumption in the Community; whereas the said percentages for the 1993/94 marketing year should be fixed;
Whereas the situation on the olive oil market makes it possible to continue the readjustment of consumption aid and production aid begun during the 1991/92 marketing year,
1. For the 1993/94 marketing year, the production target price and the intervention price for olive oil shall be as follows:
(a) production target price:ECU 321,16/100 kg;
(b) intervention price:ECU 196,84/100 kg.
2. The prices referred to in paragraph 1 relate to ordinary virgin oil, the free fatty acid level of which, expressed in oleic acid, is 3,3 grams for 100 grams.
For the 1993/94 marketing year, the representative market price and the threshold price for olive oil shall be as follows:
(a) representative market price:ECU 192,05/100 kg;
(b) threshold price:ECU 188,63/100 kg.
For the 1993/94 marketing year, the production aid shall be as follows:
(a) - for Spain and Portugal:ECU 66,65/100 kg,
- for the Community of Ten:ECU 89,11/100 kg;
(b) for growers whose average production is less than 500 kg of olive oil per marketing year:
- for Spain and Portugal:ECU 73,51/100 kg,
- for the Community of Ten:ECU 96,88/100 kg.
1. For the 1993/94 marketing year, 1,5 % of the production aid earmarked for olive-oil producers shall be allocated to the financing of specific measures to improve the quality of olive oil in each producer Member State.
2. For the 1993/94 marketing year, the percentage of the production aid which may be withheld pursuant to Article 20d (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC for organizations of olive oil producers or associations thereof recognized under the said Regulation shall be 1,1 %.
By way of derogation from Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3416/90, the amount of the consumption aid applicable in Spain and Portugal, for the 1993/94 marketing year, shall be set at the same level as that applicable in the Community of Ten.
1. For the 1993/94 marketing year, the percentage of consumption aid referred to in Article 11 (5) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be 2 %.
2. For the 1993/94 marketing year, the percentage of consumption aid to be allocated to the measures referred to in Article 11 (6) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be 0,5 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 November 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1666/91 of 14 June 1991 fixing for the 1991 marketing year the maximum levels of the withdrawal prices for tomatoes grown under glass
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1603/91 (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra' class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market in tomatoes grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price at a level higher than the Community withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products in the Community of Ten can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1990 marketing year, a variation of the same order as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes for the 1991 marketing year;
Whereas a maximum withdrawal price must be fixed for Spain and Portugal for tomatoes grown under glass for the 1991 marketing year; whereas this maximum price can justifiably be fixed at 64,4 % and 82,1 % respectively, of the maximum price applicable in the Community of Ten to produce a difference equal to that existing between the basic and buying-in prices applicable in the Community of Ten and those applicable in Spain and Portugal for the 1991 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1991 marketing year, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ecus per 100 kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 8(3)(c) and the third paragraph of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on animals leaving those zones.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (the restricted zones) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue.
(3) Spain has informed the Commission that no virus has circulated in the Balearic Islands for more than two years.

(5) Decision 2005/393/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2778/90
of 27 September 1990
on interim measures applicable in the seeds sector after the unification of Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 of 17 September 1990 on interim measures applicable after the unification of Germany, in anticipation of the adoption of transitional measures by the Council either in coorperation with, or after consultation of, the European Parliament (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 provides, inter alia, that a decision may be taken on a provisional basis and for a limited period to supplement or adapt Community rules in agricultural policy to the extent strictly necessary to resolve problems resulting from the unification of Germany before the Council has been able to pronounce on the Commission's proposals on transitional measures and adjustments required as a result of the integration of the German Democratic Republic into the Community; whereas such additions and adjustments should be consistent with the general economy and the principles of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organization of the market in seeds (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1239/89 (3), stipulates that aid may be granted for the production of seed;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1546/75 (4) sets on 1 August following the beginning of each marketing year the event generating the right to aid for seed; whereas on 1 August 1990 the territory of the former German Democratic Republic was not part of the Community; whereas, as a result, Community aid does not apply to the 1990/91 marketing year in respect of seed harvested in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to authorize Germany to grant national aid for the production of certain seed harvested in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic for the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas, however, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, the aid may not exceed the amounts fixed in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1240/89 of 3 May 1989 fixing the amounts of aid for seeds for the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1979/90 (6), for the Community species corresponding to the species produced in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are to apply subject to any changes resulting from the decisions taken by the Council on the proposals presented to it by the Commission on 21 August 1990;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Seeds,
1. Germany is hereby authorized to make, for seed harvested in 1990 in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, national payments for the 1990/91 marketing year corresponding to the production aid provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71.
2. The national payment provided for in paragraph 1 for a species may not exceed the amount of aid fixed by the Council in Regulation (EEC) No 1240/89, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1979/90, for a corresponding species harvested in the territories making up the Community prior to German unification.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the date of the unification of Germany until the entry into force of the Council Regulation on the transitional measures and adjustments required in the agricultural sector as a result of the integration of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic into the Community, the proposal for which was presented on 21 August 1990. However, it shall apply until 31 December 1990 at the latest.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

laying down the criteria for approval of breeders' organizations and associations which establish or maintain flock-books for pure-bred breeding sheep and goats
(90/254/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/361/EEC of 30 May 1989 concerning pure-bred breeding sheep and goats (1), and in particular the first indent of Article 4 thereof,
Whereas in all Member States flock-books are maintained or established by breeders' organizations, associations or official services; whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down the criteria for the approval of breeders' organizations and associations;
Whereas breeders' organizations or associations must apply for official approval to the competent authorities of the Member State in whose territory their headquarters are situated;
Whereas, where breeders' organizations or associations meet certain criteria and have defined targets, they must be officially approved by the authorities of the Member State to which they have applied;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,
In order to be officially approved, breeders' organizations and associations which maintain or establish flock-books must submit an application to the authorities of the Member State in whose territory their headquarters are situated.
1. The authorities of the Member State concerned must grant official approval to any breeders' organizations or associations which maintain or establish flock-books if the latter meet the conditions laid down in the Annex.
2. However, in a Member State in which in respect of a given breed one or more officially approved breeders' organizations or associations already exist, the authorities of the Member State concerned may refuse to recognize a new breeders' organization or association if it endangers the preservation of the breed or jeopardizes the zootechnical programme of the existing association or organization. In this case, the Member State shall inform the Commission of approvals granted and refusals to give recognition.
The authorities of the Member State concerned shall withdraw official approval from any breeders' organization or association which maintains flock-books if the conditions laid down in the Annex are no longer fulfilled in a consistent manner by the breeders' organization or association concerned.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
