THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas, pursuant to Article 269 of the Act of Accession, the Portuguese Republic may, during the first stage, maintain quantitative restrictions in the form of quotas on the importation of certain fruit and vegetables from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 during certain periods of the year; Whereas paragraph 2 (b) of that Article provides that the initial quota applicable in 1986 is to be fixed for each product either at 3 % of the average of Portuguese production during the last three years before accession for which statistics are available, or at the average of Portuguese imports made over the last three years before accession for which statistics are available, where this criterion results in a greater volume; Whereas the statistics at present available show that the first of the abovementioned criteria has to be applied for fixing the initial quota; Whereas, from 1 March to 31 December 1986, the quota applicable is to be equal to the initial quota, less one-sixth, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The volumes for the initial quotas which the Portuguese Republic may, pursuant to Article 269 of the Act of Accession, apply on the import of fresh fruit and vegetables from the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 are set out in the Annex. From 1 March to 31 December 1986, these volumes shall be reduced by one-sixth. 2. The quotas shall be applicable for each product during the periods indicated in the Annex.
Article 2
Detailed rules for the application of the quota system referred to in Article 269 of the Act of Accession shall be adopted, as the need arises, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3484/93 of 17 December 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 747/92 (2), and in particular Articles 4b (8), 4c (4), 4d (6) and (8), 4e (1) and (5), 4f (4), 4g (5), 4h (2), 4i (4) and 4k (2) thereof,
Whereas the detailed rules laid down for the application of the premium schemes introduced by Articles 4a to 4h of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 initially provided that all 'livestock' aid applications for the granting of the special premium following slaughter or the date on which the animal is first placed on the market with a view to slaughter are to be submitted 30 days after slaughter or the day on which the animal is first placed on the market at the latest; whereas, in order to relieve the administrative burdens on producers resulting from that rule, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1909/93 of 15 July 1993 (3) extended the time limit of 30 days to six months;
Whereas Article 45 of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1909/93, provides that the operative event for determining the year to which animals covered by premium schemes are allocated and the number of LU to be used for calculating the density factor is to be the date of submission of applications; whereas, although this provision does not specifically refer to the amount of the premium, the administrative simplification introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1909/93 was never intended to allow producers to obtain the higher premium amount corresponding to a subsequent year for animals slaughtered or placed on the market in one year;
Whereas, in order to allow the producers concerned to act in sufficient time, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following paragraph is hereby added to Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92:
'However, in the case of the granting of the special premium in accordance with one of the options provided for in Article 8,
- where the animal was slaughtered or placed on the market before 24.00 hours on 31 December, and
- where the premium application for that animal is submitted after that date,
the amount of the premium applicable shall be that in force on 31 December of the year in which slaughter or the first placing on the market took place.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

Whereas:
(1)
Commission Decision 2005/779/EC of 8 November 2005 concerning animal health protection measures against swine vesicular disease in Italy (2) was adopted in response to the presence of that disease in Italy.

By Commission Decision 2007/102/EC (2) the work plan for 2007 has been adopted.
(3)
Article 115 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3) and Article 167 of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (4) require that the eligibility, selection and award criteria are specified in advance in the call for proposals with the aim of making it possible to assess the quality of the proposals submitted in the light of the objectives and priorities set out in the annual work programme.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1365/2001
of 4 July 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector(2), the export licences for the products referred to therein are valid from the date of issue until the end of the third month following that date.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 of 28 June 2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state(3) fixes the export refunds applicable to these products from 29 June 2001 and limits the validity of the export licences to 30 September 2001 so that there is no difference in treatment between operators using the licences by 30 September 2001 and those using them after that date.
(3) In order to allow operators to conclude contracts after 30 September 2001 using an export licence issued in July 2001, the amount of the export refund should be established for licences issued in July 2001 but used after 30 September 2001. The second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001, which limits the term of validity of these export licences, should therefore be replaced.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(5) In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the export licences issued before and after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation should apply to licences issued on or after the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 entered into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 is replaced by the following: "Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent."
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall apply to export licences issued on or after 29 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
