Whereas examination of the balance sheet shows that exportable amounts of rice are currently held by producers; whereas this situation could affect the normal development of producer prices during the 1996/97 marketing year;
Whereas, in order to remedy this situation, it is appropriate to make use of export refunds to zones which may be supplied by the Community; whereas the special situation of the rice market makes it necessary to limit the quantities of rice benefiting from the refunds, and therefore to apply Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 enabling the amount of refund to be fixed by tendering procedure;
Whereas it should be stated that the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 of 6 March 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of tendering for export refunds on rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95 (4), apply to this invitation to tender;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1.

2. The invitation to tender shall be open until 26 June 1997. During that period weekly invitations to tender shall be issued and the date for submission of tenders shall be determined in the notice of invitation to tender.
3. The invitation to tender shall take place in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 and with the following provisions.
A tender shall be valid only if it covers a quantity for export of at least 50 tonnes but not more than 5 000 tonnes.
The security referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 shall be ECU 20 per tonne.
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 21 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (7), export licences issued within this invitation to tender shall, for the purposes of determining their period of validity, be considered as having been issued on the day the tender was submitted.
2. The licences shall be valid from their date of issue, within the meaning of paragraph 1, until the end of the third month following.
Tenders submitted must reach the Commission through the Member States not later than one and a half hours after expiry of the time limit for weekly submission of tenders as laid down in the notice of invitation to tender. They must be transmitted in accordance with the table given in the Annex.
If no tenders are submitted, the Member States shall inform the Commission accordingly within the same time limit as that given in the above subparagraph.
The time set for submitting tenders shall be Belgian time.
1. On the basis of tenders submitted, the Commission shall decide in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76:
- either to fix a maximum export refund, taking account of the criteria laid down in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76,
- or not to take any action on the tenders.
2. Where a maximum export refund is fixed, an award shall be made to the tenderer or tenderers whose tenders are at or below the maximum export refund level.
The time limit for submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall expire on 5 September 1996 at 10 a.m.
The final date for submission of tenders is hereby fixed at 26 June 1997.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 30 October 1981
laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats [1], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3454/80 [2], and in particular Article 5 (5) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 [3], each producer Member State is to set up a system of administrative checks designed to guarantee that the product for which an aid application is submitted is eligible for aid; whereas, consequently the crop declarations and aid applications to be presented by applicants must include a minimum amount of information necessary for the carrying out of these checks ;
Whereas the checks referred to in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 must embrace a sufficiently representative number of crop declarations by olive growers who are members of organizations; whereas under Article 5 (2) the organizations can require any supporting documents necessary to establish the amount of their member's production; whereas the nature of such supporting documents should be defined in order to facilitate uniform application of this system ;
Whereas the aid to be granted to growers who are not members of a producer organization must be calculated from the standard olive and oil yields of olive trees; whereas the use of standard yields is also necessary for determination of the aid to be given to growers who are members of an organization in cases where they sell their olives to a purchaser other than an approved mill owner ;
Whereas, in the interests of good administration provision should be made for informing the Member States at the end of each marketing year of the number of olive growers whose production is still to be verified by the producer organizations;
Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 requires producer organizations to check the stock records and activity of the approved mills indicated to them by the Member States; whereas, in order for the checks to be properly carried out, it should be laid down that the organizations must have access to the mills and to their stock records;
Whereas, in order to ensure that approved mills collaborate more closely with the running of the aid system, provision should be made for participation by their professional associations in the checks carried out by producer organizations on the mills' premises;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the aid system runs smoothly, the checks referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 and to be carried out in the approved mills by the producer organizations should be defined ;
Whereas to ensure that the aid system functions properly the minimum information to be given in the stock records of each approved mill and the checks to be made with regard to these records by the Member State concerned should be specified ;
Whereas rules for determining the amount of aid to be granted to members of producer organizations who have had their olives pressed in an approved mill which has not complied with the obligations on stock records should be determined ;
Whereas the checks specified in Article 8 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 must cover a percentage which provides adequate guarantees that the system will run properly, due account being taken of control possibilities in the Member State concerned;
Whereas it is specified in Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 that the producer Member States are to carry out, for each producer organization, random checks on the accuracy of the crop declarations and applications for aid of their members; whereas these checks must cover a sufficiently representative number of growers due account being taken of the control guarantees given by the organization ;
Whereas doubts may arise as to the quantity of oil eligible for aid because of a discrepancy between the quantity for which aid is demanded and that recorded in the stock records of the approved mill; whereas principles of good management dictate that the aid should be paid for the smaller quantity ;
Whereas in order to ensure that the aid system is correctly applied to growers who are not members of an organization it is necessary that the yields to be used be determined for production zones with given characteristics ;
Whereas to facilitate the fixing of yields it is advisable that Commission officials take part in the preparatory work ;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
1. The crop declarations referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall be submitted by 30 June 1982 at the latest.
Producer organizations may, however, submit the crop declaration at the latest when they present the aid application.
2. Each crop declaration shall include :
(a) if it is submitted by the olive grower, his name, forename and address;
(b) if it is submitted by a producer organization, the name and address of the organization and the names, forenames and addresses of each of its members ;
(c) the location of the holding or holdings;
(d) the cadastral reference of the holding or holdings;
(e) for each holding:
- the number of plots and if possible the area of each under olives,
- the total number of bearing trees whose olives are used for oil production.
Declarations submitted by growers who are not members of an organization must also include :
- where the olives are pressed on behalf of the declarant, the address of the mills and the date of pressing,
- where the olives are sold, the name and address of the purchaser and a copy of the sale invoice or of any equivalent document must be attached.
3. Producer Member States may decide that crop declarations submitted during previous marketing years are valid for the 1981/82 marketing year provided that:
- the holdings concerned have not undergone changes such as to affect their olive and oil production potential,
- the declarations include all the information specified in paragraph 2.
The checks referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall cover at least 10 % of crop declarations of producer organizations members.
1. The application for aid to be submitted by each producer organization shall contain at least the following information :
(a) the name and address of the organization ;
(b) the name, forename and address of each of the members who have completed their production of oil;
(c) the quantity of oil produced by each member, with an explicit statement that the product is virgin olive oil;
(d) the location of the holdings where the olives were harvested, with reference to the crop declaration ;
(e) the approved mill or mills in which the oil was produced, indicating in each case the quantity of olives used and the quantity of oil produced.
2. Where the growers have sold their olives, the application for aid shall contain the following information in addition to the particulars specified in 1 (a) and (d):
(a) the name, forename and address of the purchaser;
(b) a copy of the invoice for the sale of the olives or of any equivalent document;

1. Where olive growers who are members of a producer organization have sold some or all of their olives before harvesting or to a purchaser other than those provided for in Article 3 (2) (c), the quantity of virgin olive oil eligible for aid shall be determined by applying to the number of olive trees referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2) (e) the yields of olives and oil fixed for the production area concerned pursuant to Article 12.
2. In the case of olive growers who are not members of an organization, the quantity of virgin olive oil eligible for aid shall be determined by applying to the number of olive trees referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2) (e) the yields of olives and oil fixed for the production area concerned pursuant to Article 12.
3. The quantity of olive-residue oil eligible for aid shall be equal to 8 % of the quantity of virgin olive oil produced from the olives from which the residue is obtained and in respect of which entitlement to the aid has been established in accordance with the preceding paragraphs.
The supporting documents to be supplied pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall include :
(a) documents concerning special cultivation operations carried out on the olive grove ;
(b) proof of the labour force employed in the olive grove or of use of mechanical or other means for the olive harvest;
(c) purchase invoice for fertilizer and plant health products employed, or proof that such operations have been carried out.
Where the checks referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 are not completed for all members at the end of a given marketing year, the producer organization shall, not later than 31 October inform the Member State concerned of the number of members whose production has not yet been checked.
1. During the milling period, the producer organizations shall check, in approved mills indicated to them by the Member States :
- that stock records are kept as required by Article 8,
- the milling capacity,
- the yields of oil from the olives pressed
and shall further verify on the basis of the stock records :
- that the quantities stated to have been pressed in a given period tally with the mill's pressing capacity ;
- the oil yields obtained by growers who had their olives pressed during the period prior to the checks.
For this purpose the producer organizations shall have access to the approved mills and to their stock records.
2. If the mills are members or a professional association, representatives of that association shall, at their request, take part in the checks carried out by the producer organizations.
3. Where producer organizations :
- do not have access to approved mills or their stock records, or
- find, during the checks and verifications referred to in paragraph 1 :
(a) irregularities in the stock records, or
(b) significant discrepancies between the approved mill's pressing capacity and the quantities of olives pressed, or between the oil yields recorded during inspection visits to the mill and the yields shown in the stock records,
they shall inform the Member State concerned accordingly without delay.
Without prejudice to other criteria to be fixed by the producer Member State pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81, in order to be approved mills must keep daily stock records which show the following at least:
(a) the quantities of olives received, consignment by consignment giving the producer of each consignment ;

(c) the quantities of oil obtained ;
(d) the quantities of oil leaving the mill, consignment by consignment, indicating the consignee;
(e) the quantities of olive residue leaving the mill, consignment by consignment, indicating the consignee.
If the oil and olive residue obtained is sold, the invoice for the sale of each consignment must be submitted by the miller at the request of the authorities who control the stock records.
1. The producer Member States shall check, in the cases referred to in Article 7 (3), the activities and stock records of the approved mills concerned.
2. In respect of mills which are not subject to checks by producer organizations, the Member States shall verify by means of random checks ;
- that the stock records are kept in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 ;
- that the quantities referred to in Article 8 (c) shown in the stock records for a given period correspond to the quantities of oil which can be obtained during that period by the mill in question, taking account of the actual degree of use of the mill's pressing capacity.
3. Where the verifications referred to in the above paragraphs reveal irregularities the Member States shall, without prejudice to other penalties applicable :
- withdraw approval of the mill in question,
- to the extent that they cannot verify the actual production of olive growers who have had their olives pressed in the mill in question, determine the quantity of oil qualifying for aid from the information given in the grower's crop declarations and from the olive and oil yields for the production zone concerned.
4. With regard to the files sent to the Member States pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81, the Member States in question shall determine the quantity of olive oil qualifying for aid from the information given in the growers' crop declarations and from the olive and oil yields for the production zone concerned.

The checks to be carried out by the producer Member States pursuant to Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall cover at least 5 % of growers who are not members of organizations.
1
The Member State shall check by random sampling that the quantities of olives and of oil shown in the application for aid submitted by a producer organization and the quantities shown in the stock records of the approved mill which pressed the olives agree. If they do not agree the Member State concerned shall determine the quantity of oil eligible for aid on the basis of the smallest quantity indicated by the check.
2
The yields of olives and of oil shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
To this end, the producer Member States shall supply the Commission with data established for homogeneous production areas taking into account in particular :
- the geography and the geology of the region concerned,

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the Italian Government has submitted to the Commission on 29 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Veneto; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Single Programming Document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the Italian authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,

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 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (2) lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 (3) lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention.
(3) Given the current market situation, a standing invitation to tender should be opened for the export of 300 000 tonnes of barley held by the German intervention agency.
(4) Special rules must be laid down to ensure that the operations are properly carried out and monitored. To that end, securities should be lodged to ensure that the goals of the operation are achieved without excessive cost to the operators. Derogations should accordingly be made to certain rules, in particular those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
(5) To forestall reimportation, exports under this invitation to tender should be limited to certain third countries.
(6) With a view to modernising the management of the system, provision should be made for the electronic transmission of the information required by the Commission.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Subject to this Regulation, the German intervention agency shall issue a standing invitation to tender in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 for the export of barley held by it.
The invitation to tender shall cover a maximum of 300 000 tonnes of barley for export to third countries with the exception of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro (4), Switzerland and the United States of America.
1. No export refund or tax or monthly increase shall be granted on exports carried out under this Regulation.
2. Article 8(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 shall not apply.
3. Notwithstanding the third paragraph of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, the price to be paid for the export shall be that quoted in the tender, without monthly increase.
1. Export licences shall be valid from their date of issue within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 until the end of the fourth month thereafter.
2. Tenders submitted in response to this invitation to tender need not be accompanied by export licence applications submitted under Article 49 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (5).
1. Notwithstanding Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, the time limit for the submission of tenders under the first partial invitation to tender shall be 9.00 (Brussels time) on 14 July 2005.
The time limit for submitting tenders under subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be 9.00 (Brussels time) each Thursday thereafter, with the exception of 21 July 2005, 4 August 2005, 18 August 2005, 1 September 2005, 3 November 2005, 29 December 2005, 13 April 2006, 25 May 2006 and 15 June 2006, i.e. weeks in which no invitation to tender shall be made.

The intervention agency, the storer and the successful tenderer shall, at the request of the latter and by common agreement, either before or at the time of removal from storage as the tenderer chooses, take reference samples for counter-analysis at the rate of at least one sample for every 500 tonnes and shall analyse the samples. The intervention agency may be represented by a proxy, provided this is not the storer.
Reference samples for counter-analysis shall be taken and analysed within seven working days of the date of the successful tenderer's request or within three working days if the samples are taken on removal from storage.
In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded electronically to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 64 kg/hl,
— one percentage point as regards moisture content,
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to in points B.2 and B.4 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 (6),
— half a percentage point as regards the impurities referred to in point B.5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, the percentages admissible for noxious grains and ergot remaining unchanged, however.
2. If the final result of the analyses carried out on the samples indicates a quality higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender and the difference exceeds the limits set out in paragraph 1(b), the successful tenderer may:
(a) accept the lot as established, or
(b) refuse to take over the lot concerned.
In the case of (b) above, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
3. If the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality below the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention, the successful tenderer cannot remove the lot in question. The successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations relating to the lot in question and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency are immediately notified using the form in Annex I.
Should the cases mentioned in Article 7(2)(b) and 7(3) arise, the successful tenderer may ask the intervention agency to supply an alternative lot of barley of the requisite quality, at no extra cost. In that case, the security shall not be released. The lot must be replaced within three days of the date of the successful tenderer's request. The successful tenderer shall immediately inform the Commission thereof using the form in Annex I.
If, following successive replacements, the successful tenderer has not received a replacement lot of the quality laid down within one month of the date of the request for a replacement, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency have been immediately informed using the form in Annex I.
1. If the barley is removed before the results of the analyses provided for in Article 6 are known, all risks shall be borne by the successful tenderer from the time the lot is removed, without prejudice to any means of redress the tenderer might have against the storer.
2. The costs of taking the samples and conducting the analyses provided for in Article 6, with the exception of those referred to in Article 7(3), shall be borne by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) for up to one analysis per 500 tonnes, with the exception of the cost of inter-bin transfers. The costs of inter-bin transfers and any additional analyses requested by a successful tenderer shall be borne by that tenderer.

1
1. The security lodged under Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 shall be released once the export licences have been issued to the successful tenderers.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 90 thereof,
Whereas the period laid down in Article 90 of the Act of Accession was extended to 31 December 1992 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 477/92 (1);
Whereas features of the market situation in Spain are a substantial fall in consumption for health reasons and a sharp increase in production as a result of measures adopted with regard to milk and milk products and a shortage of fodder due to the drought; whereas this situation has created economic difficulties for producers in Spain through the substantial price deterioration it has led to in the last few months; whereas those difficulties are sufficiently serious to warrant the introduction of transitional measures to improve the situation on the market for beef in Spain;
Whereas, in order to be effective, such transitional measures should involve the buying-in at fixed prices of beef products in accordance with the conditions laid down in Section I of Title I and Titles II and III of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 of 29 March 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of intervention measures in the beef and veal sector (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 695/92 (3); whereas, with a view to the gradual adaptation of the Spanish market to the conditions obtaining on the Community market, the buying-in price should be linked to the maximum price fixed under the normal intervention arrangements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The Spanish intervention agency mentioned in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 shall buy in up to 10 000 tonnes of carcases, half-carcases, forequarters and hindquarters of adult bovine animals as described in Annex III thereto in the period 25 May to 31 July 1992.
2. The buying-in price per 100 kilograms of carcase or half-carcase of category A and quality class R3 for each take-over period under the arrangements for buying-in by invitation to tender provided for in Article 2 (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 shall be equal to the average market rate recorded in Spain by quality or group of qualities converted into quality class R3, plus the increase provided for in Article 12 (1) of that Regulation; however, if the average market price recorded in Spain by quality or group of qualities converted into quality class R3 exceeds 75 % of the intervention price, the maximum buying-in price shall not exceed 75 % of the intervention price, plus the abovementioned increase. The prices for the other eligible qualities shall be arrived at using the coefficients set out in Annex IV to that Regulation.
3. The prices for forequarters and hindquarters shall be calculated by applying the coefficients 0,80 and 1,20 respectively for the straight cut and 0,75 and 1,25 respectively for the cut known as 'pistola' to the carcase price.
4. The Spanish intervention agency shall buy in products offered under the conditions laid down in Section I of Title I and in Titles II and III of Regulation (EEC) No 859/89.
5. Products bought in shall be paid for by the intervention agency between the 45th and 65th day following that of take-over.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 426/98 (2) and in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas potassium nitrate, potassium dl-aspartate, potassium glucuronate and potassium glycerophosphate should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, florfenicol and moxidectin should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, the duration of the validity of the provisional maximum residue limits previously defined in Annex III of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be extended for albendazole sulphoxide and carprofen;
Whereas it appears that maximum residue limits cannot be established for metronidazole because residues, at whatever limit, in foodstuffs of animal origin might constitute a hazard to the health of the consumer, whereas it should be inserted into Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851 /EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes II, III and IV of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1786/97 of 15 September 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 821/94 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silicon carbide originating, inter alia, in the Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
I. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 821/94 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 23,3 % on imports of silicon carbide, falling within CN code 2849 20 00, originating in the Ukraine.
II. REVIEW
(2) The Commission subsequently received an application from the Ukrainian producer Zaprozhsky Abrazivny Combinat (hereinafter referred to as 'ZAC`), formerly called Concern Zaporozhabrasive, for a review of the measures currently in force.
The application alleged that, because of the new political situation in the Ukraine which has led to the privatization of the applicant and because its export prices, now determined autonomously, are substantially higher than those established originally, dumping has disappeared.
The evidence of changed circumstances contained in the application was considered sufficient to justify the opening of a review investigation.
(3) By a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee and in accordance with Article 11 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`), initiated a review of the anti-dumping measures in force and commenced an investigation. Since no request concerning changed circumstances with regard to injury to the Community industry was submitted, the review was limited to the question of dumping.
(4) The Commission officially advised ZAC and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. The representatives of the Community industry made their views known in writing. ZAC requested and was granted a hearing.
(5) The Commission sent questionnaires to the parties known to be concerned and received detailed information from ZAC, from one independent importer located in the Community and from one related importer in the Community.
(6) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following producer located in Brazil, which, as explained in recital 12 below, is the market economy third country chosen in the present review for the establishment of normal value for the Ukraine:
- Casil SA - Carbureto de Silicio - SĂŁo Paulo.
(7) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 April 1995 to 31 March 1996 (hereinafter referred to as 'the investigation period`).
III. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION AND LIKE PRODUCT
(i) Product under consideration
(8) The product under consideration is the same as that described in the Regulation subject to review.
The product is silicon carbide falling within CN code 2849 20 00.
(9) The production process of silicon carbide is such that output automatically comprises a variety of qualities of silicon carbide. These qualities can be segregated into two main grades: crystalline and metallurgical. The crystalline grade is normally used, depending on the quality, in the manufacture of abrasive tools, grinding wheels, high quality refractory products, ceramics, plastic materials, etc., while the metallurgical grade is normally used in foundry and blast furnace operations as a silicon carrier.
Given that both main grades result from the same production process (one cannot be produced without the other), that they have the same basic physical characteristics and that the metallurgical grade can technically be replaced by the crystalline grade, both grades of silicon carbide and their different qualities should be considered as forming one product for the purpose of this proceeding. The various grades of silicon carbide do not entail any significant differences in basic physical characteristics, general application or use.
(ii) Like product
(10) The investigation showed that the silicon carbide produced in Brazil and sold on the Brazilian market is identical in its particular characteristics to the silicon carbide exported to the Community by ZAC and the silicon carbide produced by the Community industry. It should therefore be considered as a like product within the meaning of Article 1 (4) of the Basic Regulation.
IV. DUMPING
(a) Normal value
(i) Analogue country
(11) Since the Ukraine is considered to be a non-market economy country, normal value had to be determined on the basis of information obtained in a market economy third country (the so-called analogue country), in accordance with Article 2 (7) of the Basic Regulation. For this purpose the applicant suggested that the United States of America be used as the analogue country, as in the original investigation, and contact was made with the two United States producers that had cooperated in the said investigation. The two producers concerned, however, informed the Commission that they were not willing to cooperate with the investigation.
Consequently the Commission had to seek the cooperation of producers in another appropriate analogue country.
(12) After careful examination of the silicon carbide market worldwide, the Commission concluded that Brazil would be an appropriate choice of analogue country for the following reasons:
- the size of its domestic market makes Brazil a representative country for the establishment of normal value for the Ukraine and there are, to a large extent, similarities between the production process and access to raw materials in Brazil and the Ukraine,
- domestic prices in Brazil are governed by normal market forces given the level of demand in the market and the number of producers in competition,
- in terms of the range of qualities of silicon carbide and basic physical characteristics, the product manufactured in Brazil can be considered identical to the product exported from the Ukraine.
The Commission services received cooperation from one Brazilian producer of the like product.
(ii) Normal value
(13) As explained in recital 6, the Commission sought and verified from one producer in the analogue country all the information they deemed necessary for the determination of normal value.
For the purpose of this investigation, the product was classified by grade, i.e. crystalline and metallurgical.
(14) As far as this determination is concerned, the investigation established that the total domestic sales of the cooperating Brazilian producer were representative of ZAC's export sales in accordance with Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation. Domestic sales per grade were also representative.
(15) In accordance with Article 2 (4) of the Basic Regulation the Commission had to determine whether domestic sales per grade (crystalline and metallurgical) were made in the ordinary course of trade by looking at the proportion of profitable sales. The investigation showed that more than 20 % of sales in volume were made below the average cost and were thus excluded in order to establish normal value. As the remaining profitable transactions accounted for a sufficient proportion of the domestic sales volume, normal value for each grade was determined on the basis of the weighted average domestic price of the profitable sales.
(b) Export price
(16) ZAC's exports of the product concerned to the Community accounted for almost all exports from the Ukraine to the Community.
In accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation, where exports were made to unrelated importers in the Community, the export prices for the Ukrainian exporter were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable by unrelated importers.
Almost the totality of exports was made to a related importer in the Community. The export prices were therefore established, in accordance with Article 2 (9) of the Basic Regulation, on the basis of resale prices to the first independent buyer adjusted to take account of all costs incurred between importation and resale, including custom duties and a 5 % profit on turnover, which was considered reasonable in the circumstances of this case. In this respect it should be noted that this profit margin was achieved by the importer before it became related to the exporter in question.
(17) A large number of export sales by the Ukrainian producer were invoiced to an unrelated trader outside the Community but were alleged to have as final destination the Community. These sales had to be excluded from the scope of this investigation because no evidence was given that these sales were export sales to the Community, and the examination of Eurostat data confirms this.
(c) Comparison
(18) In accordance with Articles 2 (10) and 2 (11) of the Basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by grade was compared with the weighted average export price by grade. For the purpose of a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken of differences affecting price comparability, namely transport costs, packaging, discounts and credit terms. The comparison was made at an ex-works level.
ZAC claimed, pursuant to Article 2 (10) (d) of the Basic Regulation, that normal value should be adjusted to take into account a difference in level of trade, since all of its export sales were made to distributors while the Brazilian domestic sales were predominantly made to end-users. Further investigation into this claim showed that price comparability had indeed been affected by consistent and distinct differences in prices for the different levels of trade in the Brazilian domestic market. The Commission therefore considered this claim warranted, and an appropriate allowance was granted.
(d) Dumping margin
(19) The comparison showed the existence of dumping. The dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the cif Community frontier value of the imports was found to be 24 %.
V. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(20) No request for a review of the findings on injury was made and there is no reason to believe that the level of injury found in the original investigation has decreased. Since the injury margin established in the original investigation was higher than the dumping margin in the present investigation, the amended duty should be based on the dumping margin found. Regulation (EC) No 821/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(21) ZAC was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 821/94 and was given every opportunity to comment. The Commission also officially advised the complainants mentioned in the initial investigation.
(22) After this disclosure ZAC offered a quantitative undertaking. The proposed undertaking however, consisted of a duty-free quota set at a level equivalent to a market share significantly higher than that held by the exporter concerned in the years prior to this investigation. The acceptance of such an undertaking would thus mean that the injury caused by ZAC's exports to the Community would not be eliminated. In these circumstances, the Commission considered that the undertaking offered by ZAC was not acceptable. The exporter has been informed accordingly.
(23) Given the above, the Council concludes that Regulation (EC) No 821/94 should be amended in respect of the Ukraine.
(24) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation No 821/94 will expire, pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,
Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 821/94 is hereby amended as follows:
the figure in the Rate of duty column of '23,3 %` relating to Ukraine shall be replaced by '24 %`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 228A thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 98/426/CFSP of 29 June 1998 defined by the Council on the basis of Article J.2 of the Treaty on European Union, concerning a ban on flights by Yugoslav carriers between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Community (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the developments regarding Kosovo have already led the Security Council of the United Nations to impose an arms embargo against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, and to the consideration of additional measures in case of failure to make constructive progress towards the peaceful resolution of the situation in Kosovo;
Whereas the European Union has already decided on additional measures as envisaged by Common Positions 98/240/CFSP (2), 98/326/CFSP (3) and 98/374/CFSP (4) and the ensuing Council Regulations (EC) Nos 926/98 (5), 1295/98 (6) and 1607/98 (7);
Whereas the Government of the FRY has not stopped the use of indiscriminate violence and brutal repression against its own citizens, which constitute serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, and has not taken effective steps to find a political solution to the issue of Kosovo through a process of peaceful dialogue with the Kosovar Albanian Community in order to maintain the regional peace and security;
Whereas, therefore, Common Position 98/426/CFSP foresees a ban on flights by Yugoslav carriers between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and the European Community as a further measure to obtain from the Government of the FRY the fulfilment of the requirements of UNSC Resolution 1160 (1998) and of the said Common Positions;
Whereas this further measure falls under the scope of the Treaty establishing the European Community;
Whereas, therefore, and notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary for the implementation of these measures, as far as the territory of the Community is concerned; whereas such territory is deemed to encompass, for the purposes of this Regulation, the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty establishing the European Community is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty;
Whereas there is a need to provide for certain specific exemptions;
Whereas there is a need for the Commission and Member States to inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation,
1. Aircraft operated directly or indirectly by a Yugoslav carrier, that is a carrier having its principal place of business or its registered office in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, shall be prohibited from flying between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Community.
2. All operating authorisations granted to Yugoslav carriers are hereby revoked.
No new operating authorisations shall be granted or existing ones renewed enabling aircraft registered in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to fly to or from airports in the Community.
1. Articles 1 and 2 shall not apply to
(a) emergency landings on the territory of the Community and ensuing take-offs;

Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1a of Regulation (EEC) No 1393/76, special rates are used to convert the free-at-frontier prices for imported liqueur wines into national currency; whereas the special rates applicable at present were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3547/83 (7);
Whereas, for the currencies of the Member States maintained at any given moment with a maximum spread of 2,25 %, the special rate is the conversion rate resulting from the central rate; whereas, for the other currencies, the special rate for the period 1 July to 15 December 1984 is equal to the conversion rate in relation to all the currencies of the Member States, maintained at any given moment with a maximum spread of 2,25 %, resulting from the average rate taken into consideration for the purpose of calculating the monetary compensatory amounts valid on 1 June 1984;
Whereas application of these provisions makes it necessary to alter the special rates for the pound sterling, the Italian lira and the Greek drachma,

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 Council Regulation (EC) No 3676/93 of 21 December 1993 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), provides for plaice quotas for 1994;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of plaice in the waters of ICES division IIIa Skagerrak by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1994; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 29 June 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of plaice in the waters of ICES division IIIa Skagerrak by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Belgium for 1994.
Fishing for plaice in the waters of ICES division IIa Skagerrak by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 as regards transitional arrangement concerning the final allocations for the restructuring and conversion of vineyards
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 16 and 17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 of 31 May 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards production potential (2) lay down the rules on financing the restructuring and conversion scheme.
(2) According to Article 16(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000, Member States forward to the Commission, not later than 10 July each year in respect of the restructuring and conversion system, a statement of expenditure validated at 30 June of the current financial year and the total area concerned.
(3) Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 provides for that Member States make the statement referred to in Article 16(1)(b) only if the amount which they have declared in accordance with Article 16(1)(a), is at least equal to 75 % of the amount of the initial allocation of the given Member State. The absence of the statement referred to in Article 16(1)(b) leads, in turn, to the ineligibility of the validated expenditure for support under the restructuring and conversion scheme.
(4) Some Member States for which the 2005/2006 wine year is the second year of application of the restructuring and conversion scheme were unable to pay out 75 % of their initial allocation, though they validated a certain part of it. The difficulties were related to the lack of familiarity with the conditions of the scheme. Application of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 would result in excessive reductions in the appropriations available to those Member States for restructuring and conversion in this financial year.
(5) Therefore, on a transitional basis, for the 2005/2006 wine year, these excessive reductions are to be avoided, by way of derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000, by allowing the Member States for which the 2005/2006 wine year is the second year of application of the restructuring and conversion scheme to pay out, by the end of the current financial year, the totality of their appropriations in respect of which the corresponding expenditure was incurred or validated on 30 June 2006.
(6) A similar solution was applied in 2002 when the vineyard restructuring and conversion scheme was in the second year of application for the old Member States and some of them had problems of the same nature now encountered by some of the Member States for in which the scheme is applied for the second year.
(7) As this Regulation must apply from 1 July 2006, it should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
By way of derogation from Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 and as the 2006 financial year concerns, no conditions apply to the statement referred to in Article 16(1)(b) of that Regulation in the case of Member States for which the 2005/2006 wine year is the second year of application of the restructuring and conversion scheme. They may pay out, not later than 15 October 2006, the sum of the expenditure they reported to the Commission under Article 16(1)(a) and (b) of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2006.

Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for an intervention threshold to be fixed if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering from or is at risk of suffering from general of structural imbalances giving rise to or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1152/1999(3) fixes an intervention threshold for lemons for the 1999/2000 marketing year. The conditions laid down by the abovementioned Article 27 have been met for this product. An intervention threshold must therefore be set for lemons for the 2000/01 marketing year.
(3) The intervention threshold for lemons has to be fixed on the basis of a percentage of the average production intended for consumption in the natural state over the last five marketing years for which data are available. The period to be taken into account for assessing the overrun of the intervention threshold for lemons must also be established.
(4) Under the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold gives rise to a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the overrun. The implications of this overrun for lemons should be determined and a reduction proportional to the size of the overrun should be fixed.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The intervention threshold for lemons for the 2000/01 marketing year shall be 87400 tonnes.
2. The overrun of the intervention threshold shall be assessed on the basis of the withdrawals carried out between 1 April 2000 and 31 March 2001.
If the quantity subject to withdrawals in the period laid down in Article 1(2) exceeds the threshold fixed in Article 1(1), the Community withdrawal compensation fixed pursuant to Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 shall be reduced in the following marketing year in proportion to the size of the overrun, based on the production used to calculate the threshold in question.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 13(3) thereof,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1770/92 of 30 June 1992 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for quality wines produced in the specified regions of Jerez, Málaga, Jumilla, Priorato, Rioja and Valdepeñas (second half of 1992)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 30 and 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 30 and 75 of the Act of Accession, the duties applicable on the import into the Community, as constituted on 31 December 1985, of the following quality wines from Spain shall be progressively abolished within the limits of annual Community tariff quotas:
- 358 120 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified region of Jerez in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 41 and ex 2204 21 51,
- 435 000 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified region of Jerez in containers holding more than two litres falling within CN codes ex 2204 29 41 and ex 2204 29 51,
- 15 000 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified region of Málaga in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 49 and ex 2204 21 59, and
- 22 008 hectolitres quality wines produced in the specified regions of Jumilla, Priorato, Rioja and Valdepeñas, in containers holding two litres or less, falling within CN codes ex 2204 21 21, ex 2204 21 23, ex 2204 21 31, ex 2204 21 33 and ex 2204 21 49;
Whereas, however, with regard to the quality wines produced in the specified region of Jerez, in order to fulfil better the requirements of the common market, a single overall tariff quota should be opened; whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 1516/91 (1) these quotas shall be open until 30 June 1992;
Whereas these duties are reduced to 12,5 % of the basic duties on 1 January 1992 and to 0 % of the basic duties on 1 January 1993; whereas, in consequence, the volume of the abovementioned quotas should be reduced, pro rata temporis, to cover only the period from 1 July to 31 December 1992, taking into account the average percentage represented by the quantities actually imported during the three previous quota periods for which statistics are available, namely the second halves of 1989, 1990 and 1991; whereas, by way of derogation from Article 30 of the Act of Accession, Regulation (EEC) No 4161/87 (2) lays down consequent on the entry into force of the combined nomenclature, the basic duties to be adopted within the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 for the purpose of calculating the successive reductions provided for in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas, therefore, to establish the duties applicable on the imports of these wines Community tariff quotas should be opened for the abovementioned period for the abovementioned wines at duties as shown in the list in Article 1;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (3) provides for particular rules for the import into Portugal of the products in question coming from Spain; whereas, consequently, the Community tariff quotas are only applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2573/90 of 5 September 1990 totally suspending certain customs duties applicable by the Community of Ten to imports from Spain and Portugal (4), the said duties are, as concerns the products referred to in Annex II to the Treaty, totally suspended once they reach a level of 2 % or less; whereas it is therefore necessary to apply a duty equal to zero where the value of the specific customs duties does not exceed 2 % ad valorem;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas they should not be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volumes of such quantities as they may need, under conditions and according to a procedure laid down in Article 3; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
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 the contingents may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 July to 31 December 1992 the customs duties applicable on the following quality wines produced in the specified regions shall, in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, be partially suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas indicated for each of them:

(1) See Taric codes in Annex.
(2) These specific customs duties are collected only when their value is greater than 2 % ad valorem.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the corresponding amount.
The drawing requests, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member States concerned to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volumes so 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 1 July 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Whereas Article 6a of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 lays down that the agricultural conversion rates of a Member State should, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of that Regulation, be adjusted so as to avoid the creation of new monetary compensatory amounts;
Whereas the trend in the market rate of the Italian lira would normally lead to an increase in the compensatory amounts applicable to Italy in the pigmeat sector with effect from 9 November 1987 in the light of the change in the agricultural conversion rate determined by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1678/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3245/87 (4), in the version as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1890/87 (5); whereas, in order to avoid this consequence, the agricultural conversion rate should be adjusted so as to avoid the creation of such new monetary compensatory amounts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,
In Annex VIII of Regulation (EEC) No 1678/85, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1890/87, the line relating to pigmeat is hereby replaced by the following:

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/85 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1231/89 (5), lays down criteria for determining the world market price for soya beans; whereas such criteria should be relaxed in the light of experience with regard to rape seed and sunflower seed,
The following paragraph shall be added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/85:
'4. The Commission may adjust the world market price by a positive or negative amount. In the case of a negative adjustment, the amount may not exceed the difference between the world price for soya beans, on the one hand, and the price determined, on the basis of the value of the average quantities of oil and soya cake obtained by the processing, in the Community, of 100 kilograms of beans, by lowering that value by an amount corresponding to the cost of processing the said beans into oil and soya cake, on the other.'

Whereas applications for STM licences lodged in the week 4 to 8 November 1991 for live animals and fresh or chilled beef and veal, and in the week 25 November to 1 December 1991 for frozen beef and veal are for quantities far higher than those fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 3508/91;
Whereas the Commission accordingly adopted by an emergency procedure appropriate interim protective measures by Regulations (EEC) No 3325/91 (5) and (EEC) No 3556/91 (6); whereas definitive measures must be adopted; whereas, in view of the increase already decided, a further increase in the indicative ceiling cannot be contemplated;

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 March 1984
accepting an undertaking offered in connection with an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain iron or steel angles, shapes and sections originating in Romania, and terminating that proceeding
(84/182/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79 of 20 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1580/82 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
A. Procedure
(1) In October 1982 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the 'Comité d'étude européen du profilage à froid' on behalf of its German, Dutch and Belgian member companies who produce certain iron or steel angles, shapes and sections and whose collective output constitutes a major proportion of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which were considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain iron or steel angles, shapes and sections falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 73.11 A III and corresponding to NIMEXE code 73.11-31, originating in Romania, and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporter and the importer known to be concerned and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
The majority of the Community producers, the exporter and the importer made their views known in writing. The exporter and the importer requested and have been granted hearings. The exporter requested an opportunity to meet the complainants for the purpose of presenting their opposing views; the complainants stated, however, that at this stage of the proceeding the situation was so evident that such a meeting was not warranted. No submissions were made by or on behalf of Community purchasers or processors of the product in question.
(3) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:
EEC producers:
- in Germany
- Techno Arbed GmbH (Voelklingen-Fenne),
- Kloeckner-Werke Mannstaedt AG (Troisdorf),
- Wuppermann Kaltprofil GmbH (Leverkusen);
- in the Netherlands
Thomas Regout NV (Maastricht);
- in Belgium
Les Laminoirs de Longtain (Bois d'Haine);
EEC importer:
F. Kirchfeld GmbH & Co. (Duesseldorf);
Austrian major producer:
Voest-Alpine (Linz).
The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from complainant Community producers, exporters and importers.
The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January to 31 December 1982.
B. Normal value
(4) In order to establish whether the imports from Romania were dumped, the Commission had to take account of the fact that this country does not have a market economy, and therefore had to base its determination on the normal value in a market-economy country. In this connection, the complainants had suggested the Austrian market. The exporter objected to this suggestion, claiming that prices in Austria were state-controlled and that the size of the remaining production of the product in question in Austria was not representative for a comparison. The exporter therefore proposed that either Spain or Yugoslavia should be used as the analogue country.
In order to evaluate whether normal value could also be determined in an appropriate manner on the basis of market and production conditions in Spain or Yugoslavia, the Commission sought to obtain the relevant information and permission to carry out the necessary verifications on the spot, but those concerned in Spain and Yugoslavia were not responsive to the request.
The Commission is satisfied that in Austria, as in the exporting country, there are similar production processes, that there is production on a substantial scale of the products sold on this domestic market and that price controls in Austria ensure that price levels are in a reasonable proportion to production costs.
The Commission therefore determined normal value on the basis of domestic prices because the sales of the Austrian producer were on a substantial scale and were made in the normal course of trade. Due allowance was made for differences affecting price comparability by deduction from the Austrian ex-works prices of the maximum discounts granted on sales of the largest quantities and costs of freight.
C. Export price
(5) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(6) In comparing normal value with export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate, of conditions and terms of sale.
All comparisons were made at ex-works level.
E. Margins
(7) The above preliminary examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of Metalimportexport, Bucharest, Romania, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community. This margin exceeds 60 %.
F. Injury
(8) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community from Romania of cold formed sections increased from 17 392 tonnes in 1979 to 25 594 tonnes in 1982. The great majority of these imports went to the Federal Republic of Germany, where their volume and market share rose from 17 084 tonnes and 17,6 % in 1979 to 25 594 tonnes and 31,6 % in 1982. The weighted average resale prices of these imports undercut the prices of the Community producers during the investigation period by approximately 30 %, and the resale prices of these imports were lower than those required to cover the costs of Community producers and provide a reasonable profit.
(9) As a result of the dumped imports it has become impossible for the Community industry to maintain profitable production of the products in question. This has led to a reduction in, or even cessation of, production, under-utilization of capacity, a large decrease in the volume of sales of the products concerned, a significant fall in the size of their market share and a drop in employment.
(10) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as reduction of demand and imports from sources other than the country concerned. In this context it was found that while consumption within the Community declined substantially between 1980 and 1982, the volume of imports from other sources into the Community declined even faster during the same period.
The substantial increase in dumped imports and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the Community led the Commission to determine that the effects of the dumped imports of cold formed sections originating in Romania taken in isolation have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.
G. Community Interest
(11) In these circumstances and in order to prevent further injury being caused during the proceeding, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interests that action be taken.
The exporter concerned, having been informed of the Commission's findings, offered an undertaking concerning their exports of certain iron or steel angles, shapes and sections to the Community.
The effect of the said undertaking will be to increase the Romanian export price to the level necessary to eliminate the injury caused. This increase in no case exceeds the dumping margins found in the investigation.
In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the proceeding may therefore be terminated without imposition of an anti-dumping duty.
No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee.
The undertaking offered by Metalimportexport, Bucharest, Romania in the context of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain angles, shapes and sections of iron or steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished from coils for re-rolling, universal plates, hoop, strip, sheets or plates, originating in Romania, is hereby accepted.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning the products referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

on establishing the European Regulators Group for Electricity and Gas

(2003/796/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC(1), Directive 2003/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas and repealing Directive 98/30/EC(2) and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity(3) establish a new regulatory framework for the internal markets for electricity and gas.
(2) Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC require Member States to designate one or more competent bodies with the function of regulatory authorities, to carry out the regulatory tasks specified in those directives. These regulatory authorities have to be wholly independent from the interests of the electricity and gas industry.
(3) The detailed responsibilities and tasks of the national regulatory authorities are likely to differ between Member States, but all Member State will have to designate at least one regulatory agency to apply the rules of the new regulatory framework once they have been transposed into national law, in particular those concerning day-to-day supervision of the market.
(4) Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC establish objectives to be achieved and provide a framework for action at the national level, but give flexibility in certain areas to apply the rules in the light of national conditions. Consistent application of the relevant rules in all Member States is essential for the successful development of a single European energy market.
(5) As regards common approaches to issues relevant for cross-border transactions the European Electricity Regulatory Forum and the European Gas Regulatory Forum have made important contributions. Whilst the two Forums will remain important as comprehensive discussion platforms involving all players from government, regulators and industry, it is now necessary to give regulatory cooperation and coordination a more formal status, in order to facilitate the completion of the internal energy market and in view of the forthcoming accession of new Member States.
(6) In those circumstances, a "European Regulatory Group for Electricity and Gas" should be established to facilitate consultation, coordination and cooperation between the regulatory bodies in Member States, and between these bodies and the Commission, with a view to consolidating the internal market and ensuring the consistent application in all Member States of Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003.
(7) The members of the European Regulatory Group for Electricity and Gas should comprise the heads of the national authorities competent in the field of electricity and gas regulation in the Member States. The Commission should be represented at a high level.
(8) The European Regulatory Group for Electricity and Gas should maintain close cooperation with the Committees established under Article 30 of Directive 2003/55/EC and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003. Its work should not interfere with the work of those Committees.
(9) It is appropriate to repeal Commission Decisions 95/539/EC(4) and 92/167/EEC(5) since these Decisions set up Committees in the context of Directives 91/296/EEC(6) and 90/547/EEC(7) on transit of natural gas and electricity, respectively, which were repealed by Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC,
Subject matter and activities
1. An independent advisory group on electricity and gas, called the "European Regulators Group for Electricity and Gas" (hereinafter referred to as the "Group"), is hereby established by the Commission.
2. The Group, at its own initiative or at the request of the Commission, shall advise and assist the Commission in consolidating the internal energy market, in particular with respect to the preparation of draft implementing measures in the field of electricity and gas, and on any matters related to the internal market for gas and electricity. The Group shall facilitate consultation, coordination and cooperation of national regulatory authorities, contributing to a consistent application, in all Member States, of the provisions set out in Directive 2003/54/EC, Directive 2003/55/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003, as well as of possible future Community legislation in the field of electricity and gas.
Membership of the Group
1. The Group shall be composed of the heads of the national regulatory authorities or their representatives.
2. For the purpose of this Decision "national regulatory authority" means a public authority established in a Member State pursuant to Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC, according to which Member States shall designate one or more competent bodies with the function of regulatory authorities, to ensure non-discrimination, effective competition and the efficient functioning of the gas and electricity market and in particular to oversee the day-to-day application of the provisions of Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 in that respect.
3. Until 1 July 2004, if a Member State has not designated one or more competent bodies with the function of regulatory authorities, that Member State shall be represented in the Group by a representative of another competent public authority.
4. The Commission shall be present at the meetings of the Group and shall designate a high-level representative to participate in all its debates.
Organisation of the Group
1. The Group shall elect a chairperson from among its members.
2. The Group may set up expert working groups to study specific subjects, on the basis of a mandate and as it deems appropriate.
3. The Commission may attend all meetings of such expert working groups.

Article 10
(2) thereof,
Whereas poultry, hatching eggs and poultry meat coming from third countries must be free from avian influenza and Newcastle disease; whereas it is necessary to establish the criteria for classifying third countries accordingly;
Whereas the criteria for third countries have to be established taking into account the provisions regarding Member States as laid down in Council Directives 92/40/EEC (5) and 92/66/EEC (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
For the purpose of this Decision:
(a) 'Avian influenza' means infection as defined in Chapter I of Annex A;
(b) 'Newcastle disease' means infection as defined in Chapter II of Annex A;
(c) 'Recognized vaccine' means any vaccine against Newcastle disease complying with the criteria laid down in Annex B;
(d) 'Emergency vaccination' means vaccination used as a means of controlling the disease following one or more outbreaks and carried out:
(i) against avian influenza using any vaccine;
(ii) against Newcastle disease using non-recognized vaccines;
(e) 'Sanitary slaughter policy' means the application, in the event of outbreaks of avian influenza or Newcastle disease, of the measures provided for in Annex C;
(f) 'Commercial flock' means either any flock consisting of at least 200 birds or any other flocks from which the poultry, hatching eggs or meat is liable to be exported to the Community.
A third country is classified as free from avian influenza and Newcastle disease if it fulfils the following general criteria:
(a) it must have a general animal-health structure allowing adequate monitoring of poultry flocks;
(b) it must have legislation which makes avian influenza and Newcastle disease notifiable diseases for all species of poultry and for all birds kept in captivity;
(c) it must undertake to examine closely any suspicion of those diseases;
(d) if there is suspicion, it must submit samples of each avian influenza virus or paramyxovirus found to specific laboratory testing in accordance with the procedure set out in Annex A;
(e) it must have at its disposal laboratory capacity in its own official laboratories or have arrangements with other national laboratories for rapid testing;
(f) it must allow those laboratories to be checked by experts from the Community;
(g) for each primary outbreak it must send virusisolates to the EEC reference laboratory in Weybridge (UK);
(h) it must notify to the Commission, within 24 hours after confirmation, of primary outbreaks in each region;
(i) it must send to the Commission, at least monthly in the case of secondary outbreaks, a report on the disease situation;
(j) in cases where vaccination against avian influenza and/or Newcastle disease is not forbidden, it must officially control the production, testing and distribution for the vaccines;
(k) it must communicate to the Commission the characteristics of each strain used for the production of vaccines against avian influenza or Newcastle disease.
1. Without prejudice to the general criteria laid down in Article 2, a third country is classified as free from avian influenza if:
(a) no outbreaks of that disease have occurred in poultry on its territory for at least 36 months; and
(b) no vaccinations against avian influenza viruses of the same sub-types as those for which highly pathogenic viruses are known to exist (currently H5 and H7 sub-types) have been carried out for at least 12 months.
2. Where a sanitary slaughter policy is practised to control the disease and without prejudice to the provision of paragraph 1 (b) the period of 36 months referred to in paragraph 1 (a) is reduced to:
(a) 6 months if no emergency vaccination has been carried out;
(b) 12 months if emergency vaccination has been carried out, provided that a further 12-month period has elapsed after the official termination of such emergency vaccination.
1. Without prejudice to the general criteria laid down in Article 2, a third country is classified as free from Newcastle disease for the first time if:
(a) no outbreaks of that disease have occurred in poultry on its territory for at least 36 months; and
(b) no vaccinations against Newcastle disease using non-recognized vaccines have been carried out for at least 12 months.
2. Where a sanitary slaughter policy is practised to control the disease and without prejudice to the provision of paragraph 1 (b) the period of 36 months referred to in paragraph 1 (a) is reduced to:
(a) 6 months if no emergency vaccination has been carried out;
(b) 12 months if emergency vaccination has been carried out, provided that a further 12-month period has elapsed after the official termination for such emergency vaccination.
3. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1 (a) and 2 (a), a third country is classified as free from Newcastle disease if the criteria set out in paragraphs 1 or 2 are met only for commercial flocks.
In such cases the third country concerned will be authorized to send fresh poultry meat to the Community if the additional guarantees laid down in Annex D are included in the accompanying animal health certificate. The export of live poultry and hatching eggs to the Community is not authorized in such cases.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1 (b) and 2 (b) a third country is classified as free from Newcastle disease if it allows the use of vaccines against the disease, which, although complying with the general criteria set out in Annex B for the vaccines, do not fulfil the specific criteria thereof.
In such cases the third country concerned will be authorized to send live poultry and hatching eggs or fresh poultry meat to the Community if the additional guarantees laid down in Annex E or Annex F to this Decision are included in the accompanying animal health certificate.
This Decision shall apply from 1 October 1993.

(2) In its Resolutions of 5 February 2002 and 21 November 2002, the European Parliament endorsed the four-level regulatory framework advocated in the Final Report of the Committee of Wise Men on the regulation of European securities markets and called for certain aspects of that approach to be extended to the banking and insurance sectors, subject to a clear Council commitment to reform to guarantee a proper institutional balance.
(3) Council Directive 85/611/EEC of 20 December 1985 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS)(3), as last amended by Directive 2001/108/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4), set up the UCITS Contact Committee in order to facilitate the harmonised implementation of that Directive through regular consultations on any practical problems arising from its application and on which exchanges of views are deemed useful, to facilitate consultation between Member States and to advise the Commission, if necessary, on amendments to be made to that Directive.
(4) On 3 December 2002, the Council invited the Commission to take steps in order to transfer those functions and powers to the structures already established in the securities field.
(5) The Commission has proposed a Directive amending, inter alia, Directive 85/611/EEC to delete the functions of the UCITS Contact Committee provided for by Article 53 of this Directive, and to transfer those laid down under Article 53a of the same Directive to the European Securities Committee established by Decision 2001/528/EC.
(6) Such an amendment will require a corresponding and simultaneous amendment of the competences of the Committee of European Securities Regulators, as defined in Article 2 of Decision 2001/527/EC,
Decision 2001/527/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:

2. In Article 3, the first sentence of the first paragraph is replaced by the following:"The Committee shall be composed of high-level representatives from the national public authorities competent in the field of securities, including UCITS."

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 of 22 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of import quotas for rice originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and the overseas countries and territories (OCTs) (3), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 opens an annual overall tariff quota for the import of 160 000 tonnes of rice, in husked-rice equivalent, comprising 125 000 tonnes originating in the ACP States (serial number 09.4187), 25 000 tonnes originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba (serial number 09.4189) and 10 000 tonnes originating in the least developed OCTs (serial number 09.4190), and an annual tariff quota of 20 000 tonnes of broken rice originating in the ACP States (serial number 09.4188).
(2) For these quotas, provided for in Article 1(1)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006, the second subperiod is the month of May.
(3) The information provided in accordance with Article 17(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 shows that in the case of the quotas with serial numbers 09.4187, 09.4188 and 09.4189 applications lodged during the first five working days of May 2007 in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 13 of that Regulation cover a quantity in husked-rice equivalent greater than the quantity available. As a result, the extent to which import licences may be issued should be determined by laying down the award coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for under the quota[s] in question.
(4) The above information also shows that in the case of the quotas with serial number 09.4190 applications lodged during the first five working days of May 2007 in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 13 of that Regulation cover a quantity in husked-rice equivalent less than the quantity available.
(5) In accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006, the total quantities available for the next subperiod should also be laid down,
1. For import licence applications for rice under the quotas with serial numbers 09.4187, 09.4188 and 09.4189 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 lodged during the first five working days of May 2007, licences shall be issued for the quantities applied for, multiplied by the award coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The total quantities available under the quotas with serial numbers 09.4187, 09.4188, 09.4189 and 09.4190 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 for the next subperiod shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 257 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1544/95 (2), and in particular Articles 35 (8), 36 (6), 38 (5), 41 (10), 44, 45 (9) and 46 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3299/94 (3) of 21 December 1994 on transitional measures applicable in Austria in the wine-growing sector, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 670/95 (4), provides for Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 to apply in its entirety in Austria from the 1995/96 wine year; whereas, however, Austria should, in the interests of administrative clarity, be considered to form part of the wine-growing zone B provided for in Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 822/87;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1545/95 (5) fixes the guide prices for wine for the 1995/96 wine year; whereas the prices, aids and other amounts for the various intervention measures to be adopted for that wine year should accordingly be fixed on that basis;
Whereas this Regulation applies to Portugal; whereas, however, since wine-growing zones have not been delimited in that country, the oenological practices authorized in accordance with the rules laid down under Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should be defined;
Whereas, since enrichment is an exceptional practice, the same reduction in the buying-in price for wine provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and laid down in Annex VIII should be applied as in wine-growing zone C; whereas, in accordance with Article 341 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal the derogations in force for 'vinho verde' should be extended;
Whereas the aid for the use in wine-making of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must as provided for in Article 45 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 must be fixed taking into account the difference between the cost of enrichment achieved using concentrated grape must and using sucrose; whereas, in the light of the data available to the Commission, the amount of the aid should be varied with the product used for enrichment;
Whereas distillers may, in accordance with Articles 35 (6) and 36 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, either receive aid for the product to be distilled or deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency; whereas the amount of the aid must be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 (6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1546/95 (7);
Whereas the price of wine to be distilled under Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 does not normally allow the marketing at market prices of products obtained from distillation; whereas provision must therefore be made for aid, the amount of which is to be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89, account also being taken of the present uncertainty of prices on the market for distillation products;
Whereas some wine delivered for one of the distillation operations may be processed into wine fortified for distillation; whereas the amounts applicable to distillation in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 should be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas experience gained in sales by invitation to tender of alcohol held by intervention agencies shows that the difference between prices which may be obtained for neutral spirits and raw alcohol does not justify the takeover of the former; whereas, moreover, quantities of neutral spirits currently available are sufficient to satisfy, at least for one wine year, any demand for that product; whereas under these circumstances the possibility provided for in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should be used by producing for the buying-in of all alcohol at the price for raw alcohol;
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3186/92 (2), laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 sets a standard natural alcohol strength by volume to be applied in the various wine-growing zones for the purpose of determining the volume of alcohol to be delivered for distillation under Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas it has not been possible to fix this standard natural alcoholic strength in Portugual because the wine-growing zones in that country have not yet been delimited; whereas, therefore, a provisional standard natural alcohol strength should be fixed;
Whereas Article 46 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 lays down criteria for fixing the aid provided for in that Article; whereas, as regards the aid for the use of grapes, grape must and concentrated grape must for the manufacture of grape juice, paragraph 4 of that Article stipulates that a part of the aid should be set aside for the organization of campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice and whereas the aid may be increased to that end; whereas, having regard to the criteria laid down and of the need to finance those campaigns, the aid should be fixed at a level permitting sufficient quantities to be obtained for the effective promotion of the product;
Whereas the reduction in the buying-in price for wine provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 depends on the average increase in the natural alcoholic strength in each wine-growing zone; whereas experience shows that that increase corresponds on average to half the maximum increase authorized; whereas the reduction in the buying-in price must accordingly correspond to the added alcoholic strength as a percentage of the alcoholic strength of wine delivered for distillation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 of 16 December 1981 determining the classification of vine varieties (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3255/94 (4), establishes the list of vine varieties recommended and authorized in Portugal; whereas, in assessing the production of wine in Portugal, reference should be made to those vine varieties;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
This Regulation fixes the buying-in prices, the aids and certain other amounts applicable for the 1995/96 wine year to intervention measures in the wine sector in the Community. As regards the measures provided for in Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, those amounts shall be fixed subject to a subsequent decision on the activating of those measures.
1. The buying-in prices of the products and of wine delivered during the 1995/96 wine year for compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and, for those products:
- aid to distillers,
- aid to fortifiers of wine of distillation,
- the buying-in prices of alcohol obtained, delivered to an intervention agency,
- the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund towards the taking over of that alcohol,
shall be as set out in Annexes I and II hereto.
2. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 35 (6), the second subparagraph of Article 36 (4) and the second subparagraph of Article 39 (7), the intervention agency shall pay the raw alcohol price for the alcohol delivered to it.
The buying-in prices for wine delivered during the 1995/96 wine year for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and, for those products:
- aid to distillers,
- aid to fortifiers of wine for distillation,
shall be as set out respectively in Annexes III and IV.
The aid for utilization during the 1995/96 wine year of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must as provided for in Article 45 (1) and in the first subparagraph of Article 46 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be as set out respectively in Annexes V, VI and VII hereto.
The reductions provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 applicable to the buying-in prices for wine delivered during the 1995/96 wine year for distillation as provided for in Articles 36, 38, 39 or 42 of that Regulation and, for that wine:
- to the aid to the distiller,
- to the buying-in prices of alcohol obtained, delivered to an intervention agency,
- to the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund to the taking over of that alcohol,
shall be as set out in Annex VIII hereto.
For the purposes of this Article, Portugal shall be considered to from part of wine-growing zone C, and Austrian of wine-growing zone B.
1. The rules governing oenological practices and processes laid down in Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall apply to Portugal during the 1995/96 wine year subject to the following conditions:
(a) increase in alcoholic strength shall be limited to 2 % vol. Products eligible under this measure shall have a natural alcoholic strength by volume of at least 7,5 % vol, before enrichment and total alcoholic strength by volume of not more than 13 % after enrichment.
However, products upstream of table wine originating in the 'Vinho verde' region must have an alcoholic strength by volume of at least 7 % before enrichment.
The addition of concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must shall not have the effect of increasing the initial volume of fresh crushed grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation or new wine still in fermentation by more than 6,5 %;
(b) fresh grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine may be the subject of acidification or deacidification.
2. The wine varieties which may be used to produce table wine shall be those listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81.
Without prejudice to Article 341 of the Act of Accession, 'vinho verde' may:
- be marketed with a minimum total alcoholic strength by volume 8,5 % for wines which have not been subject to enrichment,
- possess a total context of sulphine dioxide no greater than 300 milligrams per litre for white 'Vinho verde' wines with a residual sugar content not less than 5 g/l.
3. The quantity of alcohol which producers of table wine in Portugal must deliver for distillation in accordance with Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be calculated on the basis of a standard natural alcoholic strength, to be taken into consideration for the assessment of the volume of alcohol contained in the wine produced, equal to 9 % by volume, with the exception of wines produced in the delimited 'Vinho verde' region, for which the alcohoic strength to be taken into consideration shall be 8,5 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1995.

of 16 February 2006
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 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to 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 paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed 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 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, 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 I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 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 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) 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 I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 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.

(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Spain submitted an application on 9 October 2009 to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 36 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 division 16 (‘Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials’) sector in a single NUTS II region, Castilla-La Mancha (ES42) and supplemented it by additional information until 22 February 2010.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1998 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies(2) provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Denmark still has intervention stocks of wheat.
(3) Because of the difficult weather conditions in much of the Community, cereals production has been significantly reduced in the 2003/04 marketing year. This situation has resulted in high prices locally, causing particular difficulties for livestock holdings and the feedingstuffs industry, which are finding it hard to obtain supplies at competitive prices.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to make stocks of wheat held by the Danish intervention agency available on the internal market.
(5) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender.
(6) When the Danish intervention agency notifies the Commission, the tenderers should remain anonymous.
(7) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Danish intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 92765 tonnes of wheat held by it.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding 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 selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market.
Notwithstanding Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 the tender security is set at EUR 10 per tonne.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 5 February 2004 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Thursday at 09.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 8 April and 20 May 2004.
The closing date for the submission of tenders for the last partial tendering procedure shall be 24 June 2004 at 09.00 (Brussels time).
2. Tenders must be lodged with the Danish intervention agency: Direktoratet For Fødevare Erhverv Nyropsgade 30 DK - 1780 København Fax: (45-33) 95 80 34
Within two hours of the expiry of the time limit for the submission of tenders, the Danish intervention agency shall notify the Commission of tenders received. They must be sent by electronic mail in accordance with the form set out in the Annex.
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the Commission shall set the minimum sale price or decide not to accept the tenders.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 377/2000 provides for application of reduced agricultural components to imports of certain processed agricultural products, as provided for in draft Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement with Bulgaria, currently awaiting formal adoption.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1494/1999 must therefore be amended in order to extend the reduced agricultural components and additional duties for Poland and Bulgaria until 30 June 2000 and to adapt the reduced agricultural components and additional duties for certain processed agricultural products for Bulgaria.
(5) The duties resulting from these measures may not be higher than the duties resulting from application of the Common Customs Tariff.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1460/96(6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2495/97(7), establishes the detailed rules for implementing the preferential trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products, as provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93,

Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;
Whereas Botswana has proposed, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, one establishment authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas a Community on-the-spot visit has shown that the hygiene standards of this establishment are sufficient and it may therefore be approved in accordance with Article 4 (1) of the said Directive, for the importation of fresh meat into the Community;

Whereas on 1 January 1992, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1991 preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(4), lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(6). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, prices on the international market. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to proceed by an open invitation to tender and to set the indicative refund amount and the scheduled quantities for the period concerned.
(9) The Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
1. An invitation to tender for the allocation of A3 export licences is hereby opened. The products concerned, the tender submission period, the indicative refund rates and the scheduled quantities are laid down in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of the A3 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

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), as last amended by Commission Decision 93/439/EEC (2), and in particular Article 38 thereof,
Whereas the German authorities have submitted to the Commission a national programme designed to improve external frontier controls on live animals and products of animal origin; whereas this programme comprises in particular the construction and renovation of the necessary infrastructure, the purchase of equipment for control purposes and the recruitment of additional staff, and is accompanied by all the appropriate financial information;
Whereas stepping up veterinary inspection of external frontiers is one of the Community's priorities as a result of the completion of the internal market;
Whereas, however, Community financial participation must not exceed the appropriations available for the purpose; whereas, therefore, it is important to identify priorities so as to ensure, in particular, more efficient Community financing;
Whereas past experience has shown that special attention should be given to improving controls carried out at Community frontier inspection posts on its eastern borders;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The programme to improve the system of veterinary controls at the Community's external frontier in Germany set out in the Annex hereto is approved.
1. The Community's financial participation is set at 15 % of the total cost of the programme, with a ceiling of ECU 700 000.
2. The Community's financial participation is granted on the following terms:
- 50 % at the start of the programme, which shall commence by 31 January 1994 at the latest,
- the balance at the end of the programme, which shall be not later than 30 June 1995.
1. Payments shall be made in ecus.

of 5 November 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003 laying down implementing rules on the Community Fleet Policy as defined in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 stipulates that the Commission shall establish for each Member State reference levels expressed in GT and kW for the total fishing capacity of the Community fishing vessels flying the flag of that Member State. These reference levels have been established by the Commission in Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003 of 12 August 2003 laying down implementing rules on the Community Fleet Policy as defined in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (2).
(2) According to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003, that Regulation applies to the fishing capacity of Community vessels with the exception of vessels which are exclusively used in aquaculture or registered in the outermost regions of France, Portugal and Spain.
(3) Footnote 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003 stipulates that the reference levels may be revised to take into account vessels that existed on 31 December 2002 but were either not covered by MAGP IV or not registered on the date the table of the Annex was prepared.
(4) On 26 September 2006, the Netherlands informed the Commission that a number of vessels, whose capacity is currently included in the reference level for that Member State, are exclusively used for aquaculture and requested the Commission to decrease the reference level for the total fishing capacity of the Community fishing vessels flying the Dutch flag by 15 540 GT and 39 258 kW.
(5) The current reference level for the Irish fleet does not include part of the small-scale vessels targeting mainly non-quota species. Although the capacity for these vessels had been included in the objectives of MAGP IV, the registration of these vessels had not been completed at the time of establishing the reference levels. On 4 April 2008, Ireland submitted to the Commission the final list of vessels and requested the Commission to amend the reference level for the Irish fleet accordingly. In addition, it is necessary to take account of the fishing capacity of mussel dredgers which were previously not registered. Consequently, the reference levels for Ireland should be increased by 1 719 GT and 14 608 kW.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
