COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 975/2007

of 21 August 2007

fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota isoglucose for the period from 1 August to 30 September 2007

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 12(d) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | According to Article 12(d) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 the isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 7 of that Regulation can be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

According to Article 12(d) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 the isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 7 of that Regulation can be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.

| (2) | For some of the Community producers of isoglucose exports from the Community represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Community as well. Exports of isoglucose to these markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports so that the Community producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets. |

For some of the Community producers of isoglucose exports from the Community represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Community as well. Exports of isoglucose to these markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports so that the Community producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets.

| (3) | For the period from 1 August to 30 September 2007 it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit at 20 000 tonnes, dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose exports would correspond to the market demand. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

For the period from 1 August to 30 September 2007 it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit at 20 000 tonnes, dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose exports would correspond to the market demand.

| (4) | A preventive withdrawal of certain quantities of sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup was provided for in respect of the 2006/2007 marketing year by Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 of 27 March 2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector, and amending Regulations (EC) No 1265/2001 and (EC) No 314/2002 (2). The undertakings concerned could request that the quantities of their production affected by that measure be considered fully or partially to be produced in excess of their respective quotas, thus opening for those undertakings the possibilities provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards out-of-quota production. Such requests had to be submitted before 31 January 2007. In order to enable the undertakings concerned to submit such requests in respect of isoglucose to be exported within the quantitative limit for out-of-quota isoglucose exports, a further deadline for the submission of those requests should therefore be fixed. |

With a view to ensuring orderly management, preventing speculation and providing for effective controls, detailed rules should be laid down for submitting licence applications.

| (6) | In order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the eventual re-import or re-introduction into the Community of the isoglucose syrups concerned, certain countries of the Western Balkans should be excluded from the eligible destinations for out-of-quota isoglucose exports. However, those countries of the region whose authorities have to issue an export certificate for the confirmation of the origin of the sugar or isoglucose products to be exported to the Community should be exempted from this exclusion as the risks of fraud are more limited. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 980/2007

of 21 August 2007

providing for special measures for the management of the WTO tariff quota for New Zealand butter from September 2007 to December 2007, amending Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 and derogating from that Regulation

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 29(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas (2) as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2020/2006 (3) provides for the management of the WTO tariff quota for New Zealand butter on the basis of import licences allocated twice a year following the licence application periods as provided for in Article 34a. |

| (2) | When import licences were allocated for the second half of 2007 for butter originating in New Zealand under quota number 09.4182 referred to in Annex III.A of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, applications for licences covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. As a result, a quantity of 9 958,6 tonnes was not allocated. |

When import licences were allocated for the second half of 2007 for butter originating in New Zealand under quota number 09.4182 referred to in Annex III.A of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, applications for licences covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. As a result, a quantity of 9 958,6 tonnes was not allocated.

| (3) | Given that the quota has always been entirely used before new management rules were introduced on 1 January 2007, the underuse may be the result of importers not yet accommodated to the new provisions and procedures. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Given that the quota has always been entirely used before new management rules were introduced on 1 January 2007, the underuse may be the result of importers not yet accommodated to the new provisions and procedures.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 981/2007

of 21 August 2007

amending Regulation (EC) No 1489/2006 fixing the interest rates to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal for the 2007 EAGF accounting year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1489/2006 (2) fixes the interest rates to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal for the 2007 EAGF accounting year. |

(1)

Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1489/2006 (2) fixes the interest rates to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal for the 2007 EAGF accounting year.

| (2) | Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 was amended by Regulation (EC) No 734/2007 to take account of the fact that in some Member States these operations can be financed only at interest rates which are appreciably higher than the uniform interest rate. It was therefore laid down, by way of derogation for the 2007 and 2008 financial years, that, if the average interest rate borne by a Member State in the course of the third month following the reference period used by the Commission for determining the uniform interest rate is more than twice the uniform interest rate, the Commission may, in financing the interest costs incurred by that Member State, cover the amount which corresponds to the interest rate borne by this Member State minus the uniform rate of interest. It was also laid down that this measure applied to expenditure incurred by the Member States from 1 October 2006. |

It was also laid down that this measure applied to expenditure incurred by the Member States from 1 October 2006.

| (3) | It would appear, in the light of Member States’ notifications to the Commission in respect of the third month following the reference period used for determining the uniform interest rate for the 2007 accounting year, that one Member State is concerned by this new measure. The specific interest rate should therefore be fixed for that Member State for the 2007 accounting year. |
