(5) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product concerned and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the terms laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the common commercial policy must be based on uniform principles; whereas the common rules for imports laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), are an important aspect of that policy; whereas the liberalization of imports, that is to say the absence of any quantitative restrictions, subject to exceptions and derogations provided for in Community rules, is the starting point for common rules in this field;

Whereas the economic and trade situation is such that a number of quantitative restrictions still applied by certain Member States may be abolished,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The products set out in Annex A to this Regulation are hereby deleted from Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 288/82.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 400/94 of 21 February 1994 extending Regulation (EEC) No 1615/89 establishing a European Forestry Information and Communication System (Efics)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1615/89 of 29 May 1989 establishing a European Forestry Information and Communication System (Efics) (1) provided for the setting up of a system the objective of which is to collect, co-ordinate, standardize and process data concerning the forestry sector and its development;
Whereas it has proved impossible to set up the system within the period laid down in that Regulation;
Whereas the need for such a system has become more pressing in the light of the current situation in the forestry sector;
Whereas, moreover, both the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in June 1992 in Rio and the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe in Helsinki in June 1993 highlighted the need to have at Community level comparable and objective data on the forestry sector;
Whereas the said Regulation should therefore be extended, while adapting it to the current state of Community legislation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 1615/89 shall be amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, the words 'Regulations (EEC) No 1609/89, (EEC) No 1610/89, (EEC) No 1611/89, and (EEC) No 1612/89, of Decision 89/367/EEC and Regulations (EEC) No 1613/89 and (EEC) No 1614/89' shall be replaced by the words: 'Regulations (EEC) No 1610/89, (EEC) No 2080/92 (2) and (EEC) No 867/90 (3), of Decision 89/367/EEC and of Regulations (EEC) No 2157/92 (4) and (EEC) No 2158/92 (5).

3. In Article 4, '1992' shall be replaced by '1997';
4. In the first sentence of Article 5, '1993' shall be replaced by '1998'. In the second sentence of Article 5, '1993' shall be replaced by '1998' and '1998' by '2002'.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1428/78 of 27 June 1978 amending Regulation (EEC) No 837/68 on detailed rules for the application of levies on sugar
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 of 19 December 1974 on the common organization of the market in sugar (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1396/78 (2), and in particular Article 15 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 1 (2) and Article 7 (4) and (5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 837/68 of 28 June 1968 on detailed rules for the application of levies on sugar (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1491/70 (4), specified the margin within which variations in the components used to calculate the levy on white and raw sugar and syrups would not entail an alteration in that levy;
Whereas the experience gained in the application of these provisions has shown that the margins for varying the import levies on white sugar, raw sugar and on syrups are too narrow and result in changes being made more frequently than is necessary ; whereas less frequent changes are unlikely adversely to affect the efficient management of the Community's sugar market ; whereas, therefore, in order to simplify the administration, these margins should be widened;
Whereas 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
Regulation (EEC) No 837/68 is hereby amended as follows: 1. In Article 1 (2), "0 710" shall read "0 720".
2. In Article 7 (4) and (5), "0 740" shall read "0 760".

(notified under document number C(2003) 3575)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/736/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC(1) of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat and meat products from third countries, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(2), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 91/68/EEC(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(4), lays down the animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals.
(2) Commission Decision 97/232/EC(5), as last amended by Decision 2003/111/EC(6), draws up lists of third countries from which Member States authorise imports of sheep and goats.
(3) Greenland was recognised as being in compliance with the requirements laid down in point II of Chapter 1 of Annex A to Directive 91/68/EEC and hence was recognised as a third country that had satisfied the criteria for official brucellosis-free status.
(4) Greenland has informed the Commission of its intention not to carry out random sampling for Brucellosis melitensis in ovine and caprine animals.
(5) Greenland therefore no longer complies with the requirements set out in point II(2) of Chapter 1 of Annex A to Directive 91/68/EEC concerning random testing. Hence Greenland no longer fulfils the requirements for being recognised as being officially brucellosis free.
(6) Decision 97/232/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Whereas the binding tariff information referred to in the Annex to this Decision is inconsistent with other binding tariff information, and the tariff classification it contains is incompatible with the general rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature set out in Section I A of Part I of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (4), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 336/96 (5);
Whereas the said binding tariff information should cease to be valid; whereas, therefore, the customs administrations which issued the information should revoke it as soon as possible and notify the Commission to that effect;
