COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1044/2006
of 7 July 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 on marketing standards for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 865/2004 of 29 April 2004 on the common organisation of the market in olive oil and table olives and amending Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 (2) provides for a system designating certain optional references for olive oils. Under Article 5(c) of that Regulation, indications of the organoleptic properties of virgin olive oils may appear on the labelling only if they are based on the results of a method of analysis provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 of 11 July 1991 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis (3).
(2)
Under the tenth indent of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91, organoleptic characteristics are to be evaluated in accordance with the method set out in Annex XII to that Regulation. Only the positive attributes listed in that Annex may be used. However, because of the very small number of organoleptic attributes listed in that Annex, traders are experiencing difficulties in describing the organoleptic characteristics of their virgin olive oils on labels.
(3)
The International Olive Oil Council’s work to find new organoleptic evaluation methods that expand the range of positive attributes of virgin olive oils has now been concluded for extra virgin olive oils enjoying protected designation of origin status. Work is still continuing for virgin olive oils without protected designation of origin status.
(4)
In order to allow the more exhaustive vocabulary necessary for better describing the wide range of varieties and tastes of virgin olive oils without protected designation of origin status, a new deadline should be laid down that is sufficient to permit the implementation of an organoleptic evaluation method that expands the range of positive attributes of virgin olive oils, with the exception of those with protected designation of origin status.
(5)
The date of application of Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 should therefore be postponed to the date on which the 2008/09 marketing year commences.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 should therefore be amended.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Olive Oil and Table Olives,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The third subparagraph of Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 is replaced by:
‘Article 5(c) shall apply from 1 July 2008.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(2), and in particular Articles 14 and 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay are laid down by Commission Decision 93/402/EEC(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/537/EC(4).
(2) Outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease were confirmed in Uruguay starting on 23 April 2001 and a program of vaccination of bovines against foot-and-mouth disease has been introduced.
(3) The Commission suspended the importation into the Community of all categories of fresh meat from those species susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease by Commission Decision 2001/388/EC(5).
(4) A Commission mission took place, from 25 to 29 June 2001, in order to examine the epidemiological situation regarding foot-and-mouth disease and the control measures in place.
(5) The findings of this mission raise some concerns in relation to certain control measures in place in Uruguay concerning the current foot-and-mouth disease situation, in particular concerning the number of outbreaks, the control of animal movements and of the meat maturation process.
(6) The competent veterinary authorities of Uruguay are addressing these concerns and it is therefore necessary to prolong the suspension of imports into the Community of all categories of fresh meat from those species susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease in conformity with Decision 2001/388/CE, at least until the deficiencies found have been rectified and the disease situation has further stabilised.
(7) In order to clarify the import conditions, it is necessary to repeal Decision 2001/537/EC and to amend Decision 93/402/EEC accordingly.
(8) This Decision will be reviewed in the light of the evolution of the situation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

Whereas it appears reasonable, nevertheless, to allow such farmers to replace by a calf purchased elsewhere a calf from one of his cows which has died before the age of four months;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1979.
