Commission Regulation (EC) No 847/2001
of 30 April 2001
fixing the intervention thresholds for cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines and table grapes for the 2001/02 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 718/2001(2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,
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 or at risk of suffering from imbalances giving or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals. Such a development might cause budget problems for the Community.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 931/2000(3) fixes intervention thresholds for cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines and table grapes for the 2000/01 marketing year. The conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 are still met for those products and consequently intervention thresholds should be fixed for cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines and table grapes for the 2001/02 marketing year.
(3) The intervention threshold for each of those products should 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 an overrun of the intervention threshold must also be established for each product.
(4) Pursuant to 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 each of the products in question 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following intervention thresholds shall apply for the 2001/02 marketing year:
TABLE
Article 2
Overruns of the intervention thresholds for the products listed in Article 1 shall be assessed on the basis of withdrawals carried out in the period 1 March 2001 to 28 February 2002.
Article 3
If the quantity of one of the products listed in Article 1 withdrawn in the period laid down in Article 2 exceeds the threshold fixed in Article 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.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Article 1
1. Member States shall grant all foreign exchange authorisations required for transfers between residents of Member States relating to the invisible transactions set out in the Annex to this Directive.
2. Member States shall enable transfers relating to such transactions to be made at the exchange rates ruling for payments relating to current transactions.

1. The provisions of this Directive shall not restrict the right of Member States to verify the nature and genuineness of the transactions or transfers and to take all requisite measures to prevent infringements of their laws and regulations.
2. Member States shall simplify, as far as possible, the authorisation and control formalities applicable to transfers and shall where necessary consult one another with a view to such simplification.
Article 3
Member States shall, within five months of notification of this Directive, put into force the measures required to comply with its provisions and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2308/97 of 17 November 1997 reintroducing a 12 % rate of duty to be applied to certain products falling within CN code 5607
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 113,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the import duty on processed products of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus Agave falling within CN codes 5607 21 00, 5607 29 10 and 5607 29 90 was reduced and bound at 12 % by the Community in the context of the Tokyo Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations;
Whereas the bound rate of 12 % on these products was subsequently withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of GATT Article XXVIII and was replaced by an autonomous rate of 25 % in Council Regulation (EEC) No 283/91 (1);
Whereas, in the context of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, the Community undertook to reintroduce the 12 % duty rate once Brazil had definitively eliminated the tax applied on exports of sisal fibres by the States of Paraiba and Bahia; whereas Brazil has, in the mean time, exempted the said exports of sisal fibres taxes; whereas, as a consequence it is appropriate to reintroduce the 12 % duty rate and to repeal Regulation (EEC) No 283/91; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), should as a result be amended,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is hereby amended as follows:

Regulation (EEC) No 283/91 is hereby repealed.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1451/2001
of 28 June 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 299(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999(4) fixes maximum rates of assistance from the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) in accordance with the ceilings laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(5).
(2) However, the limits which apply to the FIFG remain below the special provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 for certain categories of Objective 1 regions. The limits applicable to the FIFG should therefore be adjusted according to the specific difficulties of each of these categories of region. With regard to the outermost regions in particular, it is necessary to take into account the factors indicated in Article 299(2) of the Treaty as these could be very damaging to their development.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 should therefore be amended.
(4) Pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, each plan, Community support framework, operational programme and single programming document shall cover a period of seven years, and the programming period shall begin on 1 January 2000. In the interests of cohesiveness and to avoid discrimination between beneficiaries of the same programme, the derogations provided for in this Regulation must, exceptionally, be applicable to the whole programming period,

The contribution of the private beneficiary shall be reduced accordingly.

Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 3144/94 (3), the Commission opened Community tariff quotas, with reduced duty, for certain agricultural products; whereas a discrepancy has been found between the additional rates shown in the table in Regulation (EC) No 3144/94 and those in the combined nomenclature; whereas this amendment is applicable with effect from 1 January 1995; whereas it seems necessary to amend this Regulation;
