COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 915/2006

of 21 June 2006

amending Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 laying down rules for evaluating and monitoring public intervention stocks of agricultural products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3492/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down the factors to be taken into consideration in the annual accounts for the financing of intervention measures in the form of public storage by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 (2) sets out the rules for the physical inspection procedure of agricultural products held in public storage. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 (2) sets out the rules for the physical inspection procedure of agricultural products held in public storage.

| (2) | Public storage of sugar has commenced in 2005 in accordance with the rules provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (4). New detailed rules should therefore be laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 as regards the procedure for the physical inspection of the stores as regards sugar. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Public storage of sugar has commenced in 2005 in accordance with the rules provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (4). New detailed rules should therefore be laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 as regards the procedure for the physical inspection of the stores as regards sugar.

| (3) | Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (4) | Given that intervention in sugar commenced for the 2004/05 marketing year without detailed inventory rules having been laid down, the manner in which certain Member States have organised the storage of sugar stocks makes it excessively difficult to carry out an inventory according to the normal procedures. Transitional rules should therefore be laid down for sugar stocks from the 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years. |

ANNEX I

I.   The competent authorities of the Member States are to approve the bodies responsible for setting the rules for performance recording and assessing the genetic value and for publication of the evaluation results of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species. The names of the approved bodies must be notified to the Commission and the other Member States.

In particular, those bodies shall give an account of the recording methods, the model of performance description, the statistical method of analysis and the genetic parameters used for each evaluated trait.

II.   Performance recording

All data must be recorded under the responsibility of the approved body.

1.   Beef production traits

(a)   Individual performance and/or progeny testing at a station

| (i) | The test method and the number of animals tested are to be indicated. |

| --- | --- |

—

length of adaptation and test periods at the station,

| — | type of diet and system of feeding. |
| --- | --- |

—

type of diet and system of feeding.

| (iii) | Traits recorded: the minimum traits to be recorded include live weight gain and muscular development (beef conformation) and, if available, other traits such as feed conversion and carcass trait. |
| --- | --- |

(iii)

Traits recorded: the minimum traits to be recorded include live weight gain and muscular development (beef conformation) and, if available, other traits such as feed conversion and carcass trait.

Specialised units may operate as stations under the responsibility of the approved body.

(b)   Testing in the field (on-farm)

The test method and the method to validate test results must be provided by the approved body. The minimum traits to be recorded include live weight and age and, if available, other traits such as beef conformation.

(c)   Testing through survey data from farms and points of sale and slaughter

If available and appropriate the live and slaughter weights, sales prices, carcass grade according to the Community carcass classification scheme, meat quality and other beef traits must be recorded.

2.   Milk recording

Recording milk production data must comply with the principles agreed by competent international bodies (for example, the International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR)).

3.   Reproduction (secondary traits)

When fertility, calving aptitude and longevity are being evaluated, they must be assessed on the basis of data on fertilisation (for example, non-returnrate), calving score and on functional age (for example, stayability, culling age, length of productive life), respectively.

4.   Morphological (type) assessment

When morphological rating is carried out, it must be done using an approved recording system.

III.   Genetic evaluation

1.   Principles

The genetic evaluation of breeding animals must be carried out under the responsibility of the approved body and must include the following performance traits according to the selection objectives:

| — | milk production traits for animals of dairy breeds, |
| --- | --- |

—

milk production traits for animals of dairy breeds,

| — | beef production traits for animals of beef breeds, |
| --- | --- |

—

beef production traits for animals of beef breeds,

| — | milk and beef production traits for dual-purpose breeds. |
| --- | --- |

—

milk and beef production traits for dual-purpose breeds.

Furthermore, it is recommended that the genetic evaluation also include the traits of reproductive performance and of morphology for breeds in which recording of these traits is being practised.

The breeding value of an animal is calculated on the basis of the results of the performance of the individual and/or of its relatives.

The statistical methods applied in genetic evaluation must comply with the principles agreed by competent international bodies (for example, the ICAR) and guarantee a genetic evaluation unbiased from the influences of the main environmental factors and data structure.

The reliability of the genetic evaluation must be measured as the coefficient of determination in accordance with principles agreed by competent international bodies (for example, the ICAR). When publishing the evaluation results, the reliability as well as the date of evaluation must be given.

Genetic peculiarities and genetic defects of an animal defined by the bodies officially appointed for the determination of these characters, in agreement with the breeders organisations or associations, recognised in conformity with Commission Decision 84/247/EEC (1), must be published.

2.   Genetic evaluation of bulls for artificial insemination

The bulls must be subjected to a genetic evaluation on compulsory traits and breeding values on them must be published. Other available breeding values also must be published.

These provisions do not apply to breeds threatened with extinction.

(a)   Genetic evaluation of artificial insemination bulls for milk production traits

In the genetic evaluation of dairy traits, the milk yield and content (butterfat and protein percentage) as well as other available and relevant data for the genetic aptitude for dairy traits must be included.

The minimum reliability of the genetic evaluation of AI bulls of the dairy breeds must be at least 0,5 for the main production traits according to ICAR principles taking into account all information from relatives.

(b)   Genetic evaluation of artificial insemination bulls for beef production traits

The genetic evaluation of these bulls is carried out on the basis of one of the following performance testing methods:

| (i) | individual performance testing on station; |

(iv)

progeny and/or sib test by means of collecting data on farms, in auction sales or in slaughter houses in such a way that a valid comparison of bulls can be made.

If carcass weight and, where appropriate, traits of meat quality, growth performance and calving aptitude are being recorded, those traits as well as any other relevant trait must be included in the genetic evaluation of the bull.
