Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund. |

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2102/2004

of 9 December 2004

on certain exceptional market support measures for eggs in Italy

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Because of an outbreak of avian influenza in certain production regions in Italy between December 1999 and April 2000, between August and October 2000 and between October 2002 and September 2003, veterinary and trade restrictions were adopted by the Italian authorities under, in particular, Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza (2). As a result, the transport and marketing of hatching eggs were temporarily banned within Italy or within the areas directly affected by the outbreak. |

(1)

Because of an outbreak of avian influenza in certain production regions in Italy between December 1999 and April 2000, between August and October 2000 and between October 2002 and September 2003, veterinary and trade restrictions were adopted by the Italian authorities under, in particular, Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza (2). As a result, the transport and marketing of hatching eggs were temporarily banned within Italy or within the areas directly affected by the outbreak.

| (2) | The restrictions on the free movement of hatching eggs resulting from the application of the veterinary measures threatened severe disruption of the market in hatching eggs in Italy. The Italian authorities adopted market support measures for the period for which this was absolutely necessary. These allowed hatching eggs falling within CN code 0407 00 19 for which incubation was no longer possible to be processed into egg products and the destruction of hatching eggs falling within CN codes 0407 00 19 and 0407 00 11. |

| (3) | These measures had a beneficial effect on the market in hatching eggs. This justifies their being treated as an exceptional market support measure within the meaning of Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 and the grant of aid to compensate for part of the financial loss resulting from the processing or destruction of hatching eggs. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2104/2004

of 9 December 2004

laying down detailed implementing rules for Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions

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 11(5) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (2), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 lays down derogations for the management of fishing fleets in the outermost regions until 31 December 2006. These derogations relate to the entry/exit schemes referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and the aid for the renewal and modernisation of the fleet referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 (3). |

These derogations relate to the entry/exit schemes referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and the aid for the renewal and modernisation of the fleet referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 (3).

| (2) | Under Regulation (EC) No 639/2004, for France and Portugal the specific reference levels for the fleet segments registered in the outermost regions are the multiannual guidance programme (MAGP IV) objectives at the end of 2002. |

(2)

Under Regulation (EC) No 639/2004, for France and Portugal the specific reference levels for the fleet segments registered in the outermost regions are the multiannual guidance programme (MAGP IV) objectives at the end of 2002.

| (3) | For the Canary Islands, the specific reference levels are to be fixed using an approach similar to that used to fix the MAGP IV objectives, taking into account the limits of the fishing opportunities available to the fleets in question. To this end the Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) delivered an opinion in its March/April 2004 session report on the fishing opportunities of fleets registered in the Canary Islands. Spain and the Commission have also examined the fishing opportunities of fleets registered to the Canary Islands and active under bilateral and multilateral agreements. According to the Commission, none of these examinations or reports has revealed any possibility of expansion of the fleets currently registered in the Canary Islands. |

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Specific reference levels

The specific reference levels for the fleets registered in the outermost regions of France, Portugal and Spain are fixed in the Annex hereto for each fleet segment.

These specific reference levels are the maximum capacity levels, in GT and in kW, that the Member States shall be authorised to accept through entries to the fleet by way of derogation from Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.

Article 2

Monitoring specific reference levels

For each of the segments referred to in Article 1, the reference level in terms of tonnage and power on any date after 31 December 2002 shall be equal to the reference level for that segment, as fixed in the Annex hereto, minus the tonnage and power of the vessels in that segment leaving the fleet after 31 December 2002 as a result of public aid.

Article 3

Consolidation of reference levels

On 31 December 2006, the Commission shall calculate for each Member State the total capacities in terms of GT and kW of the fleets registered in the outermost regions and of the entries into these fleets decided in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 which are not yet registered on that date.

This figure shall be added to the reference levels of the mainland fleet. The result shall constitute the reference levels for the Member State fleet as from 1 January 2007.

Article 4

Contribution to annual reports

In the annual report provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003 the Member States concerned shall report on changes in the fleets registered in the outermost regions.

Figures relating to 2003 shall be incorporated into the annual report for 2004.

Article 5

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January 2003.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 9 December 2004.
