3. in Article 10(2), subparagraph (b) shall be replaced by the following:
"(b) unless otherwise specified in Annex II, products must come from establishments on a Community list to be drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18;";

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products falling within CN codes 1001 10 00, 1001 90 91, ex 1001 90 99 (high quality common wheat), 1002, ex 1005 other than hybrid seed, and ex 1007 other than hybrids for sowing, is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, for the purposes of calculating the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.
(3) Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products of CN codes 1001 10 00, 1001 90 91, ex 1001 90 99 (high quality common wheat), 1002 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00 and 1007 00 90 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 4 of that Regulation.
(4) Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 August 2008 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

derogating from the quality standard for citrus fruit
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 2275/87 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 379/71 (3) laid down quality standards for citrus fruit, which are contained in the Annex to that Regulation;

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1230/2001
of 21 June 2001
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1229/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Additional Note 2. C to Chapter 2 of the Combined Nomenclature, annexed to the said Regulation, lays down that subheadings 0206 30 30, 0206 49 20 and 0210 90 39 include, in particular, heads or halves of heads of domestic swine, with or without the brains, cheeks or tongues, and parts thereof. Furthermore, the Additional note in question lays down that the head is separated from the rest of the half-carcase by a straight cut parallel to the cranium and which parts are considered parts of heads. Finally, it lays down that boneless meat of the fore-end (including the jowl) are classifiable in subheading 0203 19 55, 0203 29 55, 0210 19 51 or 0210 19 81 as the case may be.
(2) It has been noted that the classification of the parts chaps and jowls within the meaning of Additional Note 2. C to Chapter 2 present difficulties due to the absence of clear definitions in the Combined Nomenclature. In the case where the head is separated from the rest of the half-carcase by a cut parallel to the cranium up to the level of the eyes and then inclined to the front of the head, the chaps remain attached to the half-carcase. The latter cutting technique is not, however, reflected by the Additional Note at issue. It seems that chaps, depending on the cutting technique used, could be classified in different subheadings of Chapter 2 of the Combined Nomenclature.
(3) To ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature it seems necessary to amend Additional Note 2. C to Chapter 2 in order to reflect the cutting techniques used and to clarify how chaps and jowls of domestic swine or chaps and jowls of domestic swine presented together are classified in Chapter 2 of the Combined Nomenclature.
(4) It is necessary to amend Additional notes 2 A(a) and (c) to Chapter 2 in order to reflect the two cutting techniques of half-carcases used.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Chapter 2 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 amended as follows.
1. The third sentence of Additional Note 2.A(a) shall be replaced by the following: "These carcases or half-carcases may be with or without head, with or without the chaps, feet, flare fat, kidneys, tail or diaphragm."
2. The first paragraph of Additional Note 2.A(c) shall be replaced by the following: "'fore-ends', for the purposes of subheadings 0203 19 11, 0203 29 11, 0210 19 30 and 0210 19 60: the anterior (cranial) part of the half-carcase without the head, with or without the chaps, including bones, with or without foot, shank, rind or subcutaneous fat."
3. Additional Note 2.C is replaced by the following: "Subheadings 0206 30 30, 0206 49 20 and 0210 90 39, shall include, in particular, heads or halves of heads of domestic swine, with or without the brains, cheeks or tongues, and parts thereof.
The head is separated from the rest of the half-carcase as follows:
- by a straight cut parallel to the cranium, or
- by a cut parallel to the cranium up to the level of the eyes and then inclined to the front of the head, thereby causing the chaps to remain attached to the half-carcase.
The cheeks, snouts and ears as well as the meat attached to the head, particularly to the rear part, are considered parts of heads. However, the cuts of boneless meat of the fore-end presented alone (jowls, chaps or chaps and jowls together), fall within subheading 0203 19 55, 0203 29 55, 0210 19 51 or 0210 19 81 as the case may be."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.

of 21 December 2011
amending Decision 2009/852/EC on transitional measures under Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regard the processing of non-compliant raw milk in certain milk-processing establishments in Romania and the structural requirements of such establishments
(notified under document C(2011) 9562)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/898/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1) and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2) and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 lays down general rules for food business operators on the hygiene of foodstuffs based amongst others on the principles of hazard analysis and critical control points. It provides that food business operators are to comply with certain procedures based on those principles.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators and supplements the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. The rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 include structural requirements for milk-processing establishments and the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 include structural requirements for such establishments as well as hygiene requirements concerning raw milk and dairy products.
(3) Article 2 of Commission Decision 2009/852/EC (3) provides that certain structural requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 and in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 are not to apply, until 31 December 2011, to the milk-processing establishments in Romania listed in Annex I to that Decision.
(4) Decision 2009/852/EC also provides that, by way of derogation from the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, the milk-processing establishments listed in Annex II thereto may process, until 31 December 2011, compliant and non-compliant milk, provided that such processing is carried out on separate production lines.
(5) In addition, Decision 2009/852/EC provides that the milk-processing establishments listed in Annex III thereto may process, until 31 December 2011, compliant and non-compliant milk without separate production lines.
(6) In September 2011 Romania has informed the Commission that, starting from January 2012, all the milk-processing establishments which are currently listed in Annex I to Decision 2009/852/EC will be in compliance with the structural requirements laid down in Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004. Consequently Article 2 of Decision 2009/852/EC should be deleted.
(7) Annexes II and III to Decision 2009/852/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) In addition, Romania has informed the Commission that, since the entry into force of Decision 2009/852/EC, the proportion of raw milk that complies with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, delivered to milk-processing establishments in that Member State, has considerably increased. Romania has also established an action plan aimed at covering the entire production chain of milk in that Member State ensuring compliance with the EU rules.
(9) However, according with the report submitted by Romania on the basis of Article 6 of Decision 2009/852/EC and on the information provided by Romanian authorities during the Standing Committee of Food Chain and Animal Health of 17 October 2011, the situation of the milk sector in Romania is still not in conformity with the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
(10) Taking into account the current situation, and in order to avoid frustrating the efforts made by the Romanian authorities, it is appropriate to extend the application of the measures provided for in Decision 2009/852/EC.
(11) Romania should continue the process of bringing the raw milk processed by the establishments listed in Annexes II and III to Decision 2009/852/EC in compliance with the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
(12) In particular, Romania should continue to monitor the situation and submit to the Commission regular reports on progress towards full compliance with those requirements. Based on the conclusions of those reports, appropriate measures should be taken.
(13) Decision 2009/852/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2009/852/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is deleted;
2. in Article 3, the date ‘31 December 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2013’;
3. in Article 4, the date ‘31 December 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2013’;
4. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
(a) production holdings producing non-compliant milk;
(b) the system for collecting and transporting non-compliant milk.
5. in Article 7, the date ‘31 December 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2013’;
6. Annexes I, II and III are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1696/2004
of 30 September 2004
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk 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 (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and 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 criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), 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 II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kg for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) However in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(5) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account should be taken, where necessary, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 or to assimilated products.
(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Bulgaria (4) with effect from 1 October 2004, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Bulgaria are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 1 and with effect from 1 October 2004, the rates set out in the Annex are not applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Bulgaria.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 23 July 1986
amending Council Directive 83/229/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles made of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with foodstuffs
(86/388/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/893/EEC of 23 November 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 6 (3) thereof,
Whereas, under heading B.1 of the First Part of its Annex II, Council Directive 83/229/EEC (2) authorizes the use of bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ether [= diethyleneglycol] and ethanediol [= monoethyleneglycol] as softeners, provided that the total amount contained does not exceed 20 % and that the film in question is to be coated and used exclusively for packaging foodstuffs which are not moist, i.e. which do not contain water that is physically free at the surface;
Whereas, on the basis of the safeguard clause in Article 6 of Directive 76/893/EEC, the Federal Republic of Germany has communicated to the Commission that it intends to prohibit the use of bis (2-hydroxethyl) ether and ethanediol as a preventive measure in the interests of public health, on the grounds that these substances have been observed to migrate extensively to certain foodstuffs;
Whereas consultation of the Member States within the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs, in accordance with Article 6 (2) of Directive 76/893/EEC, and other inquiries have proved inconclusive as regards the migration phenomena in question;
Whereas the rates of migration observed are very variable, ranging from a few milligrams to several hundred milligrams per kilogram of foodstuff; whereas it has not yet been possible to identify the foodstuffs or ingredients most likely to be affected by this migration; whereas, furthermore, it appears that sources other than regenerated cellulose packaging, which have not yet been identified with any certainty, contribute to the presence of these two softeners in foodstuffs;
Whereas, in the light of these observations, the possibility of a risk to human health cannot be ruled out;
Whereas, however, a total and immediate prohibition of the two substances as envisaged by the Federal Republic of Germany would be a measure disproportionate to the possible risk; whereas, as a preventive measure, it is more appropriate to establish a maximum amount of such substances in foodstuffs in contact with regenerated cellulose film;
Whereas this amount must be calculated on the basis of toxicological data and be consistent with the principle of the inertia of materials embodied in the second indent of Article 2 of Directive 76/893/EEC;
Whereas this restriction should be regarded as a temporary measure until such time as the research on migration of these two substances to different types of foodstuffs has been completed;
Whereas, in any case, it can be concluded that use of the two substances in regenerated cellulose film does not constitute any immediate danger to human health; whereas, therefore, provision can be made for a deadline for implementation of the preventive measure contained in this Directive which will allow stocks of both packages and foodstuffs that have already been packaged to be run down;
Whereas the Member States should be left to determine the deadline for implementation in the light of both the levels of contamination observed and the dietary habits of their consumers in relation to those levels; whereas, however, a maximum deadline of 31 March 1987 is in any case adequate;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs,
In the First Part of Annex II, heading B.1, the text opposite the first two indents, in the column entitled 'Restrictions' in Directive 83/229/EEC is replaced by the following:
'Only for films intended to be glazed and then used for foodstuffs which are not moist, i.e. which do not contain water which is physically free at the surface.
The total amount of bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ether and ethanediol present in a foodstuff in contact with films of this type may not exceed 50 mg/kg of the foodstuff'.
Member States shall amend their laws, regulations and administrative provisions in order to apply the limit laid down in Article 1 as from 1 April 1987 at the latest.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 826/2012
of 29 June 2012
supplementing Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on notification and disclosure requirements with regard to net short positions, the details of the information to be provided to the European Securities and Markets Authority in relation to net short positions and the method for calculating turnover to determine exempted shares
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps (1), and in particular Articles 9(5), 11(3) and 16(3) thereof,
After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) This Regulation aims to establish a uniform regime for the submission of notifications and information by investors to national competent authorities or by those competent authorities to the European Securities and Markets Authority (hereinafter ‘ESMA’). Since the turnover calculation to determine exempted shares is also closely linked to the giving of information concerning shares where their principal trading venue is in the Union, it should also be covered by this Regulation. To ensure coherence between such provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by persons subject to those obligations it is desirable to include all the regulatory technical standards required by Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 in a single Regulation.
(2) In relation to the notifications of net short positions on shares, sovereign debt and uncovered sovereign credit default swaps and to the public disclosure of significant net short positions on shares, uniform rules regarding the details of the information including the common standard to be used in the notification should be specified to ensure consistency in the application of the notification requirements across the Union, to foster efficiency in the reporting process and to provide comparable information to the public.
(3) To ensure the proper identification of the position holders, notification should, where available, include a code that can complement the name of the position holder. Until a single, robust and publicly recognised global legal entity identifier is available, it is necessary to rely on existing codes that some position holders may have, such as the Bank Identifier Code.
(4) For the purpose of carrying out its duties under this Regulation and under Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority) (2), ESMA is to be provided with information by competent authorities on a quarterly basis in relation to notification of net short positions on shares, sovereign debt and uncovered sovereign credit default swaps, as well as with additional information on net short positions upon its request.
(5) In order to efficiently use such information, in particular with respect to the objective of ensuring the orderly functioning and integrity of the financial markets and the stability of the financial system in the Union, the quarterly information should be standardised, stable over time and of sufficient granularity, in the form of some daily aggregated data, to allow ESMA to process it and to conduct research and analyses.
(6) ESMA is not in a position to determine beforehand the specific information it may require from a competent authority, as that information may only be determined on a case-by-case basis and may include input as diverse as individual or aggregated data on the net short positions or uncovered positions in credit default swaps. Nonetheless, it is important to establish the general information to be provided in this respect.
(7) For the purposes of calculating turnover, both in the Union and in trading venues outside the Union, to determine the principal trading venue of a share, each relevant competent authority needs to determine the relevant sources of information to identify and measure the trading on a specific share. There are currently neither harmonised transaction reporting requirements in the Union for shares admitted only on multilateral trading facilities nor international standards with regard to trading statistics on individual shares on trading venues, which may show relevant variations. Thus, it is necessary to allow some flexibility to competent authorities to carry out that calculation.
(8) In order to ensure consistency, the date of application of this Regulation should be the same as that of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012. However, in order to allow sufficient time for natural and legal persons to process the list of shares exempted pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, the preparation of that list and its subsequent publication on the ESMA website should take place sufficiently in advance before the application date of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012. Therefore, the method set out for turnover calculation to determine the principal venue for the trading of a share should apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
(9) Since Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 recognised that binding technical standards should be adopted before that Regulation can be usefully applied, and as it is essential to specify before 1 November 2012 the required non-essential elements to facilitate compliance by market participants with that Regulation and enforcement by competent authorities, it is necessary that this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication.
(10) This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by ESMA to the Commission.
(11) ESMA has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010,
CHAPTER I

3. A natural or legal person who has submitted a notification referred to in paragraph 1 which contains an error shall send, on becoming aware of the error, a cancellation to the relevant competent authority.
The cancellation shall be made using a form issued by that competent authority which shall take the format set out in Annex III.
The natural or legal person concerned shall submit a new notification in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 if necessary.

CHAPTER IV
METHOD OF CALCULATION OF TURNOVER TO DETERMINE THE PRINCIPAL TRADING VENUE FOR A SHARE
(ARTICLE 16 OF REGULATION (EU) No 236/2012)
Turnover calculation to determine the principal venue for the trading of a share
1. When calculating turnover pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, a relevant competent authority shall use the best available information, which may include:
(a) publicly available information;
(b) transaction data obtained under Article 25(3) of Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3);
(c) information from trading venues where the relevant share is traded;
(d) information provided by another competent authority, including a competent authority of a third country;
(e) information provided by the issuer of the relevant share;
(f) information from other third parties, including data providers.
2. In determining what constitutes the best available information, a relevant competent authority shall ensure so far as reasonably possible that:
(a) it uses publicly available information in preference to other sources of information;
(b) the information covers all trading sessions during the relevant period, irrespective of whether the share traded during all of the sessions;
(c) transactions received and included in the calculations are counted only once;
(d) transactions reported through a trading venue but executed outside it are not counted.
3. The turnover of a share on a trading venue shall be deemed to be zero where the share is no longer admitted to trading on that trading venue even if the share was admitted to trading on the trading venue during the relevant calculation period.
CHAPTER V
FINAL PROVISIONS

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the implementation of a Community energy policy is one of the objectives that the Community has set itself;
Whereas the security of Community energy supplies requires the development of all its sources of energy;
Whereas natural gas is one such source which, moreover, has specific advantages for the production of electricity in terms of limiting emissions of pollutants;
Whereas technological advances have enabled natural gas to be used for electricity production in production units having advantages both of lower capital and operating costs, and of greater transformation efficiency and improved operational flexibility compared with units using other fuels;
Whereas Directive 75/404/EEC (4) was adopted at a time when natural gas reserves were considered to be of an insufficient level with regard to the security of supplies of this source of energy;
Whereas this situation has changed and, in view of current developments on the gas market, the restriction imposed under Directive 75/404/EEC should not be retained,
Directive 75/404/EEC is hereby repealed.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 February 2009
concerning a financial contribution by the Community towards controlling sheep and goat plague in Morocco
(2009/125/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Decision 90/424/EEC, the Community may give its support to control measures against a disease by a third country, if the occurrence or the development of such a disease in the third country concerned may constitute a danger to the Community.
(2) Sheep and goat plague (known also by the French name Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR)) is a highly infectious and contagious disease of small ruminants very similar to Cattle Plague (Rinderpest). In the last decade this disease has shown a very clear tendency to spread, both in Africa and Asia.
(3) Morocco has informed the Commission that sheep and goat plague has been detected on its territory and has spread in a very short time extensively. The strain of the virus detected recently in Morocco is of a type that was not found hitherto in Africa.
(4) Sheep and goat plague can be controlled through vaccination, and a vaccine is available that will protect against all serotypes and which gives a long lasting protection against the disease.
(5) The authorities in Morocco have prepared a vaccination strategy. They have sent the strategy to the Commission and have asked for Community financial support.
(6) The spread to the Community of sheep and goat plague cannot always be prevented by the measures put in place at the Community borders, while an outbreak of such a disease in the Community would have very serious consequences and therefore needs to be averted. For this reason it is appropriate to support Morocco in its efforts to control the disease, to prevent it becoming endemic in this country, and to make vaccines available to Morocco for the vaccination campaign against Sheep and goat plague. The maximum amount of that contribution should be specified.
(7) Because of the urgency of the situation, the measures provided for in this Decision should preferably be completed by 31 May 2009 at the latest.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The Commission shall provide to the Moroccan authorities vaccines against sheep and goat plague, for use in the ongoing vaccination campaign in Morocco against that disease.
2. The measures mentioned in paragraph 1 shall be carried out by the Commission in cooperation with the authorities in Morocco. The vaccines to be provided to the Moroccan authorities shall be used for the vaccination strategy against sheep and goat plague to be undertaken in 2009 in Morocco.
1. The Commission shall bear the full cost of the measures referred to in Article 1(1) which shall not exceed a maximum amount of EUR 1 500 000.
2. The Commission shall conclude a procurement contract (supply contract) on the measures provided for in paragraph 1 via the appropriate call for tender procedure, for which the procedure shall be launched by 31 May 2009.
3. The Director-General of the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection is hereby authorised to sign the contract provided for in paragraph 2 on behalf of the Commission.
The financial contributions provided for in Articles 1 and 2 shall be financed through the budget line 17 04 02 01 of the budget of the European Communities for 2009.

|
REGULATION (EEC) No 1014/68 OF THE COUNCIL of 20 July 1968 laying down general rules for the public storage of skimmed milk powder
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 1 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, and in particular Article 7 (4) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 lays down that intervention agencies shall buy-in first-quality skimmed milk powder at the intervention price under conditions to be determined;
Whereas first quality skimmed milk powder manufactured by the spray process is easier to store than that manufactured by the roller process ; whereas, therefore, intervention should in general be restricted to milk powder manufactured by the spray process ; whereas in view of the production capacity of certain Member States intervention should also take place, during an adaptation period, for skimmed milk powder manufactured by the roller process ; whereas an adaptation may be made by progressively reducing the purchase price for this milk powder in relation to that for skimmed milk powder manufactured by the spray process ; whereas this reduction may be fixed on the basis of the difference between the market prices for these two kinds of milk powder;
Whereas intervention measures must ensure that storage is as rational as possible ; whereas, to this end, it is necessary to lay down that the product offered should reach certain standards so that it can be stored under satisfactory conditions;
Whereas the intervention agency should ensure that storage operations allow the skimmed milk powder to be properly preserved ; whereas, to this end, criteria for designating storage depots for skimmed milk powder should be laid down;
Whereas intervention is intended to support the producer price of milk ; whereas buying-in of skimmed milk powder should be possible throughout the milk year ; whereas, however, there should be provision for ceasing to buy-in when the situation so allows;
Whereas, from the technical point of view, application of the free-at-storage-depot price simplifies the implementation of intervention measures by public agencies ; whereas when the distance between the storage depot and the place from which the skimmed milk powder is dispatched exceeds certain limits, the additional transport costs should be borne by the intervention agency;
Whereas skimmed milk powder should be remarketed under such conditions as will not disturb the balance of the market and the seasonal carry-over should be allowed to continue by means of a voluntary storage arrangement ; whereas a seasonal price difference is likely to encourage producers and users of skimmed milk powder to choose this kind of storage ; whereas account should be taken of these price movements during the milk year when the selling price of the product held by the intervention agencies is fixed;
Whereas provision should be made for taking account of special conditions which could arise when the product is to be exported;
Whereas disposal of the skimmed milk powder held by the intervention agencies should, in accordance with Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 take place in such a way as to ensure equal access to the products for sale and equal treatment of purchasers ; whereas, in general, the tendering procedure serves this end ; whereas where any other form of sale has to be adopted equivalent conditions must be provided;
1. Intervention agencies shall buy-in only such first-quality skimmed milk powder manufactured by the spray process and, during the 1968/69 and 1969/70 milk years, by the roller processes as: (a) reaches standards as to keeping quality to be determined, 1OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 13.
(b) satisfies requirements to be determined on minimum quantity, packing and labelling.
2. Intervention agencies shall buy-in throughout the milk year any skimmed milk powder of the kind mentioned in paragraph 1 which is offered to them.
The Council, acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission, shall lay down conditions for the suspension and resumption of buying-in when the market situation so allows.
Intervention agencies shall buy-in skimmed milk powder manufactured by the roller process at the same price as that for skimmed milk powder manufactured by the spray process, less, per 100 kg: (a) 3 750 units of account for the 1968 69 milk year,
(b) 4 750 units of account for the 1969 70 milk year.
1. The skimmed milk powder shall be delivered to a storage depot appearing in the list referred to in Article 4 and designated by the intervention agency.
The intervention agency shall choose the available storage depot nearest to the place where the skimmed milk powder is stored. However, in special cases to be determined, another storage depot may be chosen.
2. The intervention price shall apply to skimmed milk powder delivered to a storage depot not further from the place where it was stored than a distance to be determined.
3. If the storage depot to which the skimmed milk powder is delivered is situated at a distance greater than that referred to in paragraph 2, the additional transport costs, to be determined at a flat rate, shall be borne by the intervention agency.
A list of storage depots shall be drawn up before the beginning of the milk year in the light of information supplied by the Member States ; it may be amended during that year. Only storage depots satisfying criteria to be determined shall appear on the list.
1. The sale of skimmed milk powder held by intervention agencies shall take place when the date of its remarketing, the quantities involved, conditions of sale and selling prices have been determined.
2. The selling price of first-quality skimmed milk powder shall be not less than a minimum price to be determined. This minimum price shall be higher than the intervention price by an amount to be determined with reference to the market situation and storage costs, in order to retain the possibility of voluntary storage.
1. When skimmed milk powder held by an intervention agency is put on sale for export, special conditions may be laid down to ensure that the product is not deflected from its destination and to take account of the particular requirements of such sales.

Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92 is hereby replaced by the following:

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 2006 the United Kingdom received an application from Nissan Chemical Europe SARL for the inclusion of the active substance amisulbrom in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2007/669/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) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in February 2007 Ireland received an application from DuPont International Operations SARL for the inclusion of the active substance chlorantraniliprole in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2007/560/EC (3) 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.
(3) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in August 2005 the United Kingdom received an application from Dow Agrosciences for the inclusion of the active substance meptyldinocap in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2006/589/EC (4) 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.
(4) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in March 2004 the United Kingdom received an application from Syngenta Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance pinoxaden in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2005/459/EC (5) 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.
(5) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them 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 substances 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 substances and the plant protection products in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(6) For these active substances, 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 applicants. The rapporteur Member States submitted the respective draft assessment reports to the Commission on 15 July 2008 (amisulbrom), on 11 February 2009 (chlorantraniliprole), on 25 October 2006 (meptyldinocap) and on 30 November 2005 (pinoxaden).
(7) Following submission of the draft assessment reports by the rapporteur Member States, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicants and to have the rapporteur Member States examine that information and submit their assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC, read in conjunction with Commission Decision 2008/724/EC (6) (pinoxaden).
(8) 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 substances 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 dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on a possible inclusion in Annex I to that Directive for amisulbrom, chlorantraniliprole, meptyldinocap and pinoxaden will have been completed within 24 months.
(9) 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 amisulbrom, chlorantraniliprole, meptyldinocap or pinoxaden for a period ending on 30 June 2012 at the latest.
This Decision shall expire on 30 June 2012.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

In this event, the institutions shall make the corresponding positive or negative adjustment to the remuneration and pensions of the officials, former officials and other persons concerned with retroactive effect for the period between the effective date and the date of entry into force of the decision on the 1998 adjustment.
If this retroactive adjustment necessitates the recovery of sums overpaid, such recovery may be spread over a period of not more than 12 months from the date of entry into force of the decision on the 1998 annual adjustment.
With effect from 1 July 1997, the table in Article 10 (1) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations shall be replaced by the following:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2287/2003 of 19 December 2003 fixing for 2004 the fishing opportunities and associated fishing conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required, lays down quotas for Norway lobster for 2004 (2).
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of Norway lobster in the waters of ICES division VIIIc by vessels flying the flag of France or registered in France have exhausted the quota allocated for 2004. France has prohibited fishing for this stock from 23 October 2004. This date should be adopted in this Regulation also,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

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,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 February 2007.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 346/2003
of 24 February 2003
on the opening of a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of rice held by the French intervention agency for use in animal feed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 75/91 of 11 January 1991 laying down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of paddy rice held by intervention agencies(3) provides among other things that rice held by intervention agencies is to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) France has intervention stocks of paddy rice from harvests earlier than 1999 the quality of which is in danger of deteriorating if kept in prolonged storage.
(3) Disposing of this rice on traditional markets inside the Community would inevitably trigger off - in the present production situation where concessions for rice imports are being granted under international agreements - the placing of an equivalent quantity in intervention, which must be avoided.
(4) This rice could be disposed of in the animal feed sector, on special conditions.
(5) In order to ensure that the rice is used for the purpose specified, provision should be made for special monitoring and for the successful tenderer to provide a security, the conditions for the release of which should be laid down.
(6) The undertakings given by tenderers must be regarded as primary requirements within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999(5).
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(7), lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use of products from intervention. Procedures should also be laid down to ensure the traceability of the products used for animal feed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The French intervention agency shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender on the Community internal market a quantity of rice as referred to in Annex I from the 1998 harvest for use in preparations of a kind used in animal feeding (products falling within CN code 2309 ).
1. The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 75/91.
However, notwithstanding Article 5 of that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum sale price shall be set at a level that does not disturb the market for cereals within the Community.
2. Tenderers shall give an undertaking:
(a) where they are feed manufacturers:
- to use in animal feed, within three months of the date of the award of the contract, rice for which they are declared the successful tenderer, save in cases of force majeure,
- to carry out immediately, under the supervision of the competent authorities at a place determined by agreement with them, the treatments described in Annex II or in Annex III, designed to ensure verification of the use made of the rice and the traceability of the products;
(b) where they are rice mills:
- to carry out, within two months of the date of the award of the contract, the treatments described in Annex III of rice for which they are declared the successful tenderer;
- to ensure that this product is incorporated in feed within four months of the date of the award of the contract, save in cases of force majeure;
(c) to bear the costs of the processing and treatment of the products;
(d) to keep stock records so that checks may be made that they have respected their undertakings.
1. A notice of invitation to tender shall be published by the French intervention agency at least eight days before the final day of the first period for the submission of tenders. The notice, and any changes to it, shall be forwarded to the Commission before publication.

(a) the additional clauses and conditions of sale compatible with this Regulation;
(b) the places of storage and the name and address of the storer;
(c) details of the competent authorities responsible for monitoring the operation;
(d) the main physical and technological characteristics of the various lots established upon buying in by the intervention agency or during checks carried out subsequently.
3. The French intervention agency shall take all additional steps necessary to enable the parties concerned to assess the quality of the rice put up for sale before submitting their tenders.
1. Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:
(a) evidence that the tenderer has lodged a security of EUR 15 per tonne;
(b) evidence that the tenderer is an animal feed manufacturer or rice mill;
(c) a written undertaking by the tenderer to lodge a security for an amount equivalent to the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice applicable on the tender date plus EUR 15 and the price tendered per tonne of rice not later than two working days after the date of receipt of the notice of award of contract.
2. Once submitted, a tender may not be altered or withdrawn.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 5 March 2003 at 12.00 (Brussels time).
2. The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 12.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of Wednesday 16 April 2003 and Wednesday 30 April 2003.

The intervention agency shall immediately notify all tenderers of the outcome of their participation in the tendering procedure.
Within three working days of the notification referred to in the first paragraph, it shall send notices of award of contract to successful tenderers by registered letter or written telecommunication.
Successful tenderers shall pay for the rice before it is removed, and at the latest within one month of the date of dispatch of the notice referred to in the second paragraph of Article 8. The risks and costs of storing rice that is not removed within the payment period shall be borne by the successful tenderers.
Following the expiry of the payment period, rice for which a contract is awarded and which is not removed shall be regarded for all purposes as having been removed from storage.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 235/86
of 31 January 1986
introducing Community surveillance of imports of video tape recorders originating in South Korea
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having consulted the committee set up under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas, according to information currently available, imports of video tape records falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 92.11-91 and 99 originating in South Korea could reach a relatively high level in 1986 and account for a considerable share of the Community market;
Whereas the first imports have taken place at prices much lower than Community market prices;
Whereas, combined with the imports originating in Japan already under surveillance (2), the imports in question are likely to have a depressive effect on the Community video tape recorder industry's level of prices and financial results, thereby injuring the Community producers of like competing products;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it is in the Community's interest to introduce Community surveillance of these imports,
Imports into the Community of video tape recorders falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 92.11-91 and 99, originating in South Korea are hereby made subject to retrospective Community surveillance in accordance with the procedures set out in Articles 10 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 and this Regulation.
Annex II of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 is modified by the insertion of the Common Customs Tariff heading and the NIMEXE code of the products referred to in Article 1 followed by the sign (+) in the 'EUR' column.
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 1 January 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2605/93 of 21 September 1993 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for certain melons originating in Israel (1993 to 1994)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 1 of the Fourth Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the State of Israel (1) provides for the opening of a Community tariff quota for the import into the Community of 9 500 tonnes of melons, falling within CN code ex 0807 10 90, originating in Israel (from 1 November to 31 May);
Whereas the volume of this tariff quota must be increased by 5 % each year, as from 1 January 1992 by application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 of 29 June 1992 amending the arrangements for the import into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia (2);
Whereas, the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for the period 1 November 1993 to 31 May 1994;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted;
Whereas the decision for the opening, in the execution of its international obligations, of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of these quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
From 1 November 1993 to 31 May 1994 the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of melons originating in Israel shall be suspended, at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quota shown below:
/* Tables: see OJ */
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure efficient management thereof.
Where an importer enters a product covered by this Regulation under a declaration for free circulation in a Member State and applies to take advantage of the preferential arrangements and that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the quota volume.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
The drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return them to the quota volume as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applications pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the quota volume as permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in particular Articles 16 (6) and 24 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2938/82 (5), lays down the procedure for granting adjusted refunds on cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages;
Whereas, in some cases, green malt is used in place of ordinary malt; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify the permissible moisture content of that product and the coefficient to be used for calculating the equivalent weight of malt with a moisture content of 7 % of green malt;
Whereas grain whisky is described in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 as whisky made from 15 % barley or an equivalent quantity of malt and 85 % cereals; whereas, although these quantities are on the whole probable, they exceed or fall short of those actually used in each distillery; whereas it is appropriate, therefore, to delete from the said Article 17 all reference to those quantities;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 (3) is replaced by the following:
2. Article 10 is replaced by the following:
3. Article 17 is replaced by the following:
(a) “grain whisky” means whisky made from malt and cereals;
(b) “malt whisky” means whisky made exclusively from malt;
(c) “Irish whiskey, category A” means whisky obtained from malt and cereals, the malt content being less than 30 %;
(d) “Irish whiskey, category B” means whisky made from barley and malt, with at least 30 % malt;
(e) the percentage of the various types of cereal used in the manufacture of the spirituous beverages referred to in Article 13 (2) shall be determined taking account of the total quantities of the various types of cereals employed for the manufacture of the spirituous beverages referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81.’
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 1 August 1983.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 406/97of 20 December 1996 laying down for 1997 certain conservation and management measures for fishery resources in the Regulatory Area as defined in the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North-West Atlantic Fisheries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1627/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down general provisions concerning special fishing permits (2), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations' Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources within the exclusive economic zones of the coastal States and on the high seas;
Whereas the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North-West Atlantic Fisheries, hereinafter referred to as the NAFO Convention, was approved by the Council in Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 (3) and entered into force on 1 January 1979; whereas the Regulatory Area as defined consists of that part of the Convention Area which lies beyond the areas in which coastal States exercise fisheries jurisdiction;
Whereas the NAFO Convention establishes a suitable framework for the rational conservation and management of the fishery resources of the Regulatory Area with a view to achieving the optimum utilization thereof; whereas, to this end, the Contracting Parties undertake to carry out joint measures;
Whereas the North-West Atlantic Fisheries Organization, hereafter referred to as NAFO, held its annual meeting from 9 to 13 September 1996 and, on that occasion, adopted recommendations for conservation and management measures in the Regulatory Area for 1997; whereas it is appropriate that these recommendations be implemented by the Community;
Whereas, in the light of the available scientific advice, the catches of certain species in certain parts of the Regulatory Area should be limited; whereas, in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it falls to the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by stock or group of stocks, the share available for the Community and the specific conditions under which catches must be made and to allocate the share available to the Community among the Member States;
Whereas, in order to ensure the conservation of fishery resources and their balanced exploitation, technical conservation measures must be defined, inter alia, for mesh sizes, the level of by-catches, authorized fish sizes and processed length equivalents;
Whereas in order to ensure sound management of the shrimp stock in NAFO area 3M, a system of fishing effort control should be maintained;
Whereas in order to ensure the conservation of the Greenland halibut stock, provisions should be made for the communication of effort plans for this fishery;
Whereas to enable controls to be carried out on catches from the Regulatory Area while supplementing the monitoring measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 (4), certain specific control measures are to be defined, inter alia, for the declaration of catches, the communication of information, the holding of non-authorized nets and information and assistance relating to the storage and processing of catches;
Whereas, within NAFO, the relevant TAC and quotas have been established on an annual basis and may not be exceeded and, therefore, they may not be subject to the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (5);
Whereas, for imperative reasons of common interest, this Regulation shall apply from 1 January 1997,
Scope
1. Community vessels operating in the Regulatory Area and retaining on board fish from resources of that area shall do so in furtherance of the objectives and principles of the NAFO Convention.
2. With a view to ensuring through the joint action of the Contracting Parties the rational conservation and management of the fishery resources of the Regulatory Area for the purpose of achieving the optimum utilization thereof, this Regulation lays down:
- limits on catches,
- technical conservation measures,
- international control measures,
- provisions relating to the processing and transmission of certain scientific and statistical data.
Community participation
Member States shall forward to the Commission a list of all vessels registered in their ports or flying their flag which intend to take part in the fishing activities in the Regulatory Area at least 30 days before the intended commencement of such activity or, as the case may be, not later than the 20th day following the date of entry into force of this Regulation. The information forwarded shall include:
(a) name of vessel;
(b) official registration number of the vessel assigned by the competent national authorities;
(c) home port of the vessel;
(d) name of owner or charterer of the vessel;
(e) a declaration that the master has been provided with a copy of the regulations in force in the Regulatory Area;
(f) the principal species fished by the vessel in the Regulatory Area;
(g) the sub areas where the vessel may be expected to fish.
Limits on catches
Catches in 1997 of the species set out in Annex I hereto by fishing vessels registered in the ports of Member States or flying their flag shall be limited, within the divisions of the Regulatory Area referred to in that Annex, to the quotas set out therein.
Management measures for shrimp
Fishing in 1997 for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in division 3M of the Regulatory Area shall be subject to the limitations and conditions set out in Annex II.
Greenland halibut fishery
Member States shall inform the Commission of the fishing plan for their vessels fishing for Greenland halibut in the Regulatory Area at least 30 days before the intended commencement of such activity or, as the case may be, not later than 20 January 1997. The fishing plan shall identify, inter alia, the vessel or vessels which will engage in this fishery. The fishing plan shall represent the total fishing effort to be deployed with respect to this fishery in relation to the extent of the fishing opportunities available to the Member State making the notification.
Member States shall, no later than 31 December 1997, report to the Commission on the implementation of their fishing plans, including the number of vessels actually engaged in this fishery and the total number of days fished.
Member States shall report to the Commission every Tuesday before 12 noon for the week ending at 12 midnight on the previous Sunday the quantities of Greenland halibut caught by their vessels.
Technical measures
1. Mesh sizes
The use of trawl net having in any section thereof net meshes of dimensions less than 130 mm shall be prohibited for direct fishing of the species referred to in Annex III hereto. This mesh size shall be reduced to 60 mm for direct fishing of short-finned squid.
Vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) shall use nets with a minimum mesh size of 40 mm.
2. Attachments to nets
The use of any means or device other than those described in this paragraph which obstructs the meshes of a net or which diminishes their size shall be prohibited.
Canvas, netting or any other material may be attached to the underside of the cod-end in order to reduce or prevent damage.
Devices may be attached to the upper side of the cod-end provided that they do not obstruct the meshes of the cod-end. The use of top-side chafers shall be limited to those mentioned in Annex IV hereto.
Vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) shall use sorting grids or grates with a maximum spacing between bars of 22 mm.
3. By-catches
By-catches of the species listed in Annex I for which no quotas have been fixed by the Community for a part of the Regulatory Area and taken in that part when fishing directly for:
- one or more of the species listed in Annex I, or
- one or more of species other than those listed in Annex I,
may not exceed for each species on board 2 500 kg or 10 % by weight of all fish on board, whichever is the greater. However, in a part of the Regulatory Area where direct fishing of certain species is banned, by-catches of each of the species listed in Annex I may not exceed 1 250 kg or 5 % respectively.
For vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis), in the event that total by-catches of all species listed in Annex I, in any haul exceed 5 % by weight, vessels shall immediately change fishing area (minimum 5-nautical-miles) in order to seek to avoid further by-catches of this species.
4. Minimum size of fish
Fish from the Regulatory Area which do not have the size required as set out in Annex V may not be processed, retained on board, transhipped, landed, transported, stored, sold, displayed or offered for sale, but shall be returned immediately to the sea. Where the quantity of caught fish not having the required size exceeds in certain fishing waters 10 % of the total quantity, the vessel must move away to a distance of at least 5-nautical-miles before continuing fishing. Any processed fish of a species for which a minimum fish size is set out in Annex V that is below a length equivalent set out in Annex VI, shall be deemed to originate from fish that is below the minimum fish size.
Control measures
1. In addition to complying with Articles 6, 8, 11 and 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, masters of vessels shall enter in the logbook the information listed in Annex VII hereto.
In complying with Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, Member States shall also inform the Commission of catches of species not subject to quota.
2. When fishing directly for one or more of the species listed in Annex III, vessels may not carry nets the mesh size of which is smaller than that laid down in Article 6 (1). However, vessels fishing in the course of the same voyage in areas other than the Regulatory area may keep such nets on board provided that these nets are securely lashed and stowed and are not available for immediate use, that is to say:
(a) nets shall be unshackled from their boards and their hauling or trawling cables and ropes;
(b) nets carried on or above the deck must be lashed securely to a part of the superstructure.
3. The masters of fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in one of its ports shall, in respect of catches of the species listed in Annex I, keep:
(a) a logbook stating, by species and by processed product, the aggregate output; or
(b) a storage plan, by species, of products processed, indicating where they are located in the hold.
Masters of vessels must provide the necessary assistance to enable the quantities declared in the logbook and the processed products stored on board to be verified.
4. Masters of Community vessels fishing for Greenland halibut shall report to the competent authorities of the Member State whose flag their vessel is flying or in which their vessel is registered every Monday for the week ending at 12 midnight the previous Sunday the quantities of Greenland halibut caught.
Statistical and scientific data
1. In order to secure advice on localized and seasonal concentrations of juvenile American plaice and yellowtail flounder in division 3LNO of the Regulatory Area:
(a) Member States shall provide, based upon the relevant entries in the logbook, as provided for by Article 7 (1), nominal catch and discard statistics, broken down by unit areas no larger than 1° latitude and 1° longitude, summarized on a monthly basis;
(b) length sampling shall be provided for both nominal catches and discards, with a sampling intensity on the same scale as adopted in (a) and summarized on a monthly basis.
2. In order to assess the effects of cod by-catches in the redfish and flatfish fisheries on the Flemish Cap:
(a) Member States shall supply, based upon the relevant entries in the logbook as provided for by Article 7 (1), statistics on discards of cod taken in the redfish and flatfish fisheries in the above area, in addition to the normal reports, summarized on a monthly basis;
(b) length samples of cod taken in the redfish and flatfish fisheries in the above area, shall be provided for the two components separately, with depth information accompanying each sample, summarized on a monthly basis.
3. Length samples shall be taken from all parts of the respective catch of each species concerned in such a manner that at least one statistically significant sample is taken from the first haul taken each day. The size of a fish shall be measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail fin.
For the purposes set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, length samples taken as described in this Regulation shall be deemed to be representative of all catches of the species concerned.
Fishing quotas referred to in Annex I shall not be subject to the conditions laid down in Articles 2, 3 and 5 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96.

concerning the authorisation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 as a feed additive for piglets (weaned) and amending Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (holder of authorisation Prosol SpA)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 was authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive without a time limit for use on piglets (weaned) by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (3), for cattle for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 492/2006 (4). The additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 was also authorised in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 as a feed additive for 10 years for use in sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2009 (5) and for dairy cows and horses by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1119/2010 (6).
(4) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 as a feed additive for piglets (weaned) requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 6 October 2010 (7) that, under the proposed conditions of use, Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or on the environment, and that it has the potential to improve the zootechnical performance of the target species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) As a consequence of a new authorisation being granted by this Regulation, the entry for Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 in Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 should be deleted.
(8) Since the modifications to the conditions of the authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of pre-mixtures and compound feed containing this preparation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005, the entry E 1710, additive: Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885, is deleted.
Pre-mixtures and compound feed containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885 labelled in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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 Decision 95/408/EEC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs(1), as amended by Decision 98/603/EC(2), and in particular Article 2(1) and Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A provisional list of establishments producing minced meat and meat preparations has been drawn up by Commission Decision 1997/710/EC(3).
(2) Brazil, Chile, Hungary, Israel, Poland and Thailand have sent a list of establishments producing minced meat and meat preparations and for which the responsible authorities certify that the establishments are in accordance with the Community rules.
(3) Provisional lists of establishments producing minced meat and meat preparations can thus be drawn up for Brazil, Chile, Hungary, Israel, Poland and Thailand in accordance with the procedure laid down in Decision 95/408/EEC in respect of certain countries.
(4) Some third countries have not sent their establishment lists in time; therefore it is necessary to grant as a transitional measure an additional period to import meat preparations from these third countries in order not to interrupt trade.
(5) In this event the Member States will be responsible therefore for ensuring themselves that the establishments from which they import meat preparations meet the requirements which are not less stringent than the Community requirements.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. The text of the Annex of this Decision is added to the Annex of Decision 1999/710/EC.
2. Concerning third countries other than those in the Annex of Decision 1999/710/EC, Member States may authorise establishments for import of meat preparations up to 1 September 2000
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Council Regulation (EC) No 764/96 of 22 April 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural, industrial and fisheries products and establishing the detailed provisions for adapting these quotas

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 764/96 of 22 April 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT for certain agricultural, industrial and fisheries products and establishing the detailed provisions for adapting these quotas
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 in Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 (1), the Community decided to open, each year, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and subject to certain conditions, annual Community tariff quotas at reduced or zero duty for a certain number of agricultural, industrial and fisheries products;
Whereas, in accordance with the offer it made within the United National Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) in the light of the special nature of the trade in jute and coconut-fibre products, the Community introduced tariff preferences in 1971 for such products from certain developing countries; whereas these preferences took the form of a gradual reduction in Common Customs Tariff duties, without quantitative limits, culminating in the complete suspension of these duties in 1978;
Whereas the new scheme of generalized preferences applicable since 1 January 1995 provides for the graduation of duties; whereas this change threatens the continuation and development of traditional trade flows between the countries supplying the products in question and the Community; whereas the Community should therefore open autonomous zero-duty quotas for determined quantities of products manufactured from jute and coconut fibres for the period from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1998; whereas, in view of the fact that, for the year in course, this Regulation will apply only from 1 July, provision should be made for quotas to be opened from that date to 31 December 1995 for the entire annual quota volume;
Whereas, in the framework of the negotiations of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden to the European Union, it was agreed, in order to maintain traditional trade flows of those countries, to increase by 5 % the quotas for the products appearing in Annex IV, parts A and B, to Regulation (EC) No 1808/95;
Whereas that Regulation should therefore be amended,
Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the title shall be replaced by the following:
'Council Regulation (EC) No 1808/95 of 24 July 1995 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT and certain other Community quotas for certain agricultural, industrial and fisheries products and establishing the detailed provisions for adapting these quotas`;
2. in Article 1, the following paragraph shall be inserted:
'1a. All Community imports duties on the products listed in Annex V shall be suspended within the limits of the quantities and the period laid down with respect to each of them.`;
3. in Article 4 (1), the amounts '10 540 000` and '1 200 000` shall be replaced by '11 067 000` and '1 260 000` respectively;
4. in Annex IV, part B, the amounts '2 316 000` and '2 069 000` appearing in the column headed 'Quota volume (ECU)` shall be replaced by '2 432 000` and '2 172 000` respectively;
5. Annex V appearing in the Annex to this Regulation shall be added.
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 1995 to 31 December 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas in the framework of the negotiations held on 27 and 28 November 1995 in accordance with Article 1 (3) of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement on Trade in Textile Products between the European Community and the Republic of Bulgaria, Bulgaria declared that it is prepared to accelerate by one year its tariff dismantling for products of Chapters 50 to 63 of the Bulgarian Customs Tariff listed in Annex VI to the Europe Agreement, to reach zero duty on 1 January 2001; whereas in return Bulgaria requested the reduction by the European Community of customs duties on imports applicable in the Community to textile products falling within Section XI (Chapters 50 to 63) of the combined nomenclature and originating in Bulgaria in accordance with Protocol 4 of the Europe Agreement to a rate equal to two-sevenths of the basic duty rate from 1 January 1996;
Whereas it is necessary to approve this Third Additional Protocol,

Whereas:
(1) The intervention period for maize and sorghum ends on 30 April in the south and 31 may in the north.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the intervention agencies of Member States other than Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal shall buy in quantities of maize and sorghum offered to them from 1 July to 15 August 2001.
2. The price to be paid shall be the intervention price applicable for May 2001.
3. Buying-in shall be carried out by the intervention agency in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 824/2000.
Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 the last delivery of quantities offered for intervention must take place by 31 August 2001 at the latest.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Acting on the basis of Article 7 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union,

(2) Whereas as a result of the integration of the Schengen Secretariat into the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union, this task performed hitherto by the Secretary-General of the Benelux Economic Union within the framework of the Schengen cooperation should be taken over by the Secretary-General of the Council;
(3) Whereas the performance of such a task by the Secretary-General of the Council on behalf of certain Member States will constitute a new task, distinct from the tasks performed by the Secretary-General pursuant to his obligations under the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty on European Union;
(4) Whereas it is therefore appropriate to have this new task assigned to the Secretary-General by way of an explicit decision of the Council,
1. The Council hereby authorises the Secretary-General of the Council of the European Union to act as the representative of the Member States concerned, by replacing the Secretary-General of the Benelux Economic Union in the Agreement concluded by the latter on behalf of these Member States on 23 August 1996 with France Telecom Network Services Belgium, now Global One Belgium, on the delivery, installation and management of the Sirene Network Phase II and the supply of services relating to the use thereof.

3. The authorisations under paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall apply so long as payments under the aforementioned Agreements are not charged to the general budget of the European Communities but continue to be charged to the Member States concerned.
The work involved in managing the Agreements referred to in Article 1 on behalf of the Member States concerned shall be performed by the General Secretariat of the Council as part of its normal administrative tasks.
All questions relating to any non-contractual liability resulting from the acts or omissions of the General-Secretariat of the Council in the performance of its administrative tasks pursuant to this Decision shall be governed by Article 288, second paragraph, of the Treaty establishing the European Community. Article 235 of that Treaty shall therefore apply to any disputes relating to compensation for damage.
The Secretary-General of the Council shall open a special bank account in his name for the purpose of taking up, as from the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, the balance of the budget relating to the management, up till that date, by the Secretary-General of the Benelux Economic Union, of contracts with the companies mentioned in Article 1(1) and (2).

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 August 2005.

of 5 December 2006
amending Council Directive 92/33/EEC on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed and Council Directive 2002/55/EC on the marketing of vegetable seed
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/55/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of vegetable seed (2), and in particular Articles 2(2) and 45 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/55/EC does not include all the vegetable genera and species covered by Directive 92/33/EEC. It is appropriate to extend the scope of Directive 2002/55/EC so that it applies to the same genera and species as Directive 92/33/EEC.
(2) Directives 2002/55/EC and 92/33/EEC do not include Zea mays L. (popcorn or sweetcorn), a plant which is largely grown in certain new Member States. It is appropriate to extend the scope of both Directives to Zea mays L. Although maize, including popcorn and sweetcorn, is classified as a cereal under the legislation concerning the common agricultural policy, seed for sowing of sweet corn and popcorn must be submitted to the specific legislation concerning the marketing of seed of vegetables.
(3) In the light of the development of scientific knowledge, a number of the botanical names used in Directives 92/33/EEC and 2002/55/EC have been shown to be incorrect or of doubtful authenticity. Those names should be aligned with those normally accepted internationally.
(4) Directives 92/33/EEC and 2002/55/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The genera and species listed in Annex II to Directive 92/33/EEC are replaced by those listed in the Annex to this Directive.
Directive 2002/55/EC is amended as follows:
1. The genera and species listed in Article 2(1)(b) are replaced by those listed in the Annex to this Directive.
2. Point 3(a) of Annex II is amended as follows:
(a) The following entries are inserted in alphabetical order:
‘Allium fistulosum 97 0,5 65’
‘Allium sativum 97 0,5 65’
‘Allium schoenoprasum 97 0,5 65’
‘Rheum rhabarbarum 97 0,5 70’
‘Zea mays 98 0,1 85’;
(b) ‘Brassica oleracea (other subspecies)’ is replaced by ‘Brassica oleracea (other than cauliflower)’;
(c) ‘Brassica pekinensis’ is replaced by ‘Brassica rapa (Chinese cabbage)’;
(d) ‘Brassica rapa’ is replaced by ‘Brassica rapa (turnip)’;
(e) ‘Lycopersicon lycopersicum’ is replaced by ‘Lycopersicon esculentum’.
3. Point 2 of Annex III is amended as follows:
(a) The following entries are inserted in alphabetical order:
‘Allium fistulosum 15’
‘Allium sativum 20’
‘Allium schoenoprasum 15’
‘Rheum rhabarbarum 135’
‘Zea mays 1 000’;
(b) ‘Brassica pekinensis’ is deleted;
(c) ‘Lycopersicon lycopersicum’ is replaced by ‘Lycopersicon esculentum’.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 June 2007 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply the provisions from 1 July 2007. However, they may postpone until 31 December 2009 the application of the provisions in respect of the official acceptance of varieties belonging to Allium cepa L. (aggregatum group), Allium fistulosum L., Allium sativum L., Allium schoenoprasum L., Rheum rhabarbarum L. and Zea mays L.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 85/591/EEC of 20 December 1985 concerning the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human consumption(1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs(2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1425/2003(3) fixes maximum limits for patulin in certain foodstuffs.
(2) Council Directive 93/99/EEC of 29 October 1993 on the subject of additional measures concerning the official control of foodstuffs(4) introduces a system of quality standards for laboratories entrusted by the Member States with the official control of foodstuffs.
(3) It seems necessary to fix general criteria, which the method of analysis has to comply with in order to ensure that laboratories, in charge of the control, use methods of analysis with comparable levels of performance. It is also of major importance that analytical results are reported and interpreted in a uniform way in order to ensure a harmonised enforcement approach across the European Union. These interpretation rules are of application for the analytical result obtained on the sample for official control. In case of analysis for defence or referee purposes, the national rules apply.
(4) The provisions for the sampling and methods of analysis have been drawn up on the basis of present knowledge and they may be adapted to take account of advances in scientific and technological knowledge.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the sampling for the official control of the levels of patulin in foodstuffs is carried out in accordance with the methods described in Annex I to this Directive.
The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that sample preparation and methods of analysis used for the official control of the levels of patulin in foodstuffs comply with the criteria described in Annex II to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 September 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

of 15 November 2006
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 as regards certain import licences issued for tranche No 4 of subquota III of the tariff quotas for imports of common wheat of a quality other than high quality
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002 of 27 December 2002 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for common wheat of a quality other than high quality from third countries (2) establishes three subquotas for different origins. Subquota III concerns third countries other than the United States and Canada. It is divided into four quarterly tranches. Tranche No 4 covers the period 1 October to 31 December.
(2) Under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002, licences issued pursuant to that Regulation are valid for 45 days from the day of issue.
(3) Under the third subparagraph of Article 5(1) and point (a) of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002, import licences mention a single country of origin and are valid only for the products originating in that country.
(4) From 1 October 2006, the pattern of imports into the European Community of common wheat originating in Ukraine has been disturbed by the introduction by Ukraine of control measures and limits on its exports. This might prevent operators from complying with their undertakings as regards import licences issued with Ukraine as the country of origin, at least in part.
(5) To avoid penalising these operators, and to ensure the proper execution of this quota, a certain degree of flexibility should be introduced as regards the use of the licences issued. To this end, by way of derogation from Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002, the period of validity those licences should be extended until the end of 2006 and their use should be authorised for the import of common wheat originating in third countries other than Ukraine, with the exception of the United States and Canada.
(6) Import licences issued for imports of common wheat of a quality other than high quality (CN code 1001 90 99) under subquota III (serial number 09.4125) referred to in Article 3 of the above Regulation from 1 October 2006 will expire from 16 November 2006. The amendments provided for in this Regulation should therefore apply as soon as possible. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002, the period of validity of import licences issued for imports of common wheat of a quality other than high quality (CN code 1001 90 99) under subquota III (serial number 09.4125) referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation between 1 October 2006 and 16 November 2006, bearing in Section 8 ‘Ukraine’ as the country of origin, may be extended until 31 December 2006 at the request of licence holders. To this end, the authority which issued the licence concerned shall cancel the licence and replace it with a new licence valid until 31 December 2006 or shall extend the validity of the original licence until 31 December 2006.
Notwithstanding Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2375/2002, the import licences referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation may be used for the import of common wheat originating in all third countries, with the exception of the United States and Canada.
1. Section 44 of customs declarations for imports carried out under import licences as referred to in Article 1 shall contain the following entry:
‘Import under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1688/2006’.
2. Member States shall send the Commission, electronically and by 15 February 2007, the following information:
(a) the quantities (tonnes) of products imported under import licences as referred to in Article 1;
(b) the numbers and the dates of issue of the licences under which those products were imported.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/86/EU
of 2 December 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include haloxyfop-P as an active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included haloxyfop-R. By Commission Decision 2007/437/EC (4) it was decided not to include haloxyfop-R in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier, hereinafter ‘the applicant’, submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(3) The application was submitted to Denmark, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as those that were the subject of Decision 2007/437/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008. In that application the ISO name, ‘haloxyfop-P’, is used to refer to the active substance rather than the previously used term, ‘haloxyfop-R’.
(4) Denmark evaluated the new information and data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 3 April 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on haloxyfop-P to the Commission on 9 October 2009 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for haloxyfop-P.
(5) The additional report by the rapporteur Member State and the new conclusion by the EFSA concentrate on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion. Those concerns were in particular the potential contamination of groundwater - and possibly drinking water – by a number of metabolites and the risk to mammals.
(6) The new data submitted by the applicant show the following. The metabolites concerned are neither of toxicological, nor of biological relevance and they present a low risk from an ecotoxicological point of view.
(7) Consequently, the additional data and information provided by the applicant permit to eliminate the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion. No other open scientific questions have arisen.
(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing haloxyfop-P may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1) (a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include haloxyfop-P in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(9) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that the inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit information confirming the groundwater exposure assessment as regards the active substance and its soil metabolites DE-535 phenol, DE-535 pyridinol and DE-535 pyridinone.
(10) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 June 2011 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2011.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

REGULATION (EEC) No 1375/75 OF THE COMMISSION of 29 May 1975 on the provisions of recognition of producer groups for hops in Ireland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 (1) of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops, as amended by the Act (2) concerning the conditions of accession and the adjustments to the Treaties, and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1351/72 (3) of 28 June 1972 on the recognition of producer groups for hops, provides in Article 2 (1) that for purposes of recognition a producer group must consist of at least seven producers;
Whereas since the entry into force of this Regulation Community rules on agriculture have become applicable to Ireland;
Whereas in that country there is only one hop producing region and whereas that region contains less than seven producers;
Whereas because of Ireland's geographical situation it would be difficult for Irish producers to join producer groups in other Member States ; whereas the producers in question, four in number, otherwise fulfil all the conditions required by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/72 for the formation of a recognized producer group;
Whereas in order not to create a situation liable to prejudice these producers in relation to other producers in the Community it is necessary to derogate from the provisions of Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1351/72 in favour of Ireland by reducing to three the minimum number of producers required for the formation of a group;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
In Ireland, in derogation from Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1351/72, a group of producers may be recognized if it is composed of at least three producers.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, when originally adopted, Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 of 28 December 1992 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector (3) made provision, subject to certain special conditions, for the reference quantity to be allocated provisionally for a 12-month period in the case of agricultural holdings situated in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas, with a view to the completion of restructuring of such holdings, those provisions were renewed until the end of 1997/1998 by Regulation (EC) No 1883/94 (4); whereas difficulties connected in particular with milk production on leased land cannot be resolved before 31 March 1998; whereas, to overcome the difficulties stemming from the restructuring of such holdings, a final extension of the derogating measures should accordingly be allowed, by way of an exception, for two 12-month periods,
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92:
'With a view to the definitive solution of the difficulties stemming from restructuring as referred to above, the application of the first subparagraph shall be extended for two 12-month periods from the expiry of the period referred to in the second subparagraph.`

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has taken measures to stabilize the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat and whereas it intends to bring about better integration of that market;
Whereas in the context of those adjustments to the common organization of the market it would be opportune to adapt the voluntary restraint agreements concluded in the sector with certain third countries, in order to stabilize imports and improve import prices;
Whereas the Commission has held negotiations on the matter which have led to agreements with Argentina and Australia,
The Agreements in the form of Exchanges of Letters concerning adapting the Agreements between the European Economic Community and Argentina, and Australia on trade in mutton, lamb and goatmeat are hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The texts of the Exchanges of Letters are attached to this Decision.

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 Articles 15 and 47, second indent, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 fixes the amounts of aid to be granted for supplying milk products to pupils for the period from 1 July 2004 until 30 June 2005.
(2) In order to facilitate national administrations and those charged with implementing the school milk scheme to process the aid payments, a transitional provision in the case of a change in the rate was introduced at the end of the school year 2003/2004 in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2707/2000 (2).
(3) Member States where the school year 2004/2005 ends after 30 June will still find difficulties in processing the aid payments because of the change in the aid rate. It is appropriate to extend the same provision to the school year 2004/2005.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2707/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
In Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2707/2000, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:

of 30 July 2001
fixing the export refunds on rice and broken rice and suspending the issue of export licences
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, 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 rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 600 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(5) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(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) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 600 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2001.
