derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards set-aside in certain areas of France
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1038/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1157/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the conditions for granting area payments and in particular for set-aside.
(2) Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 provides that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest, and that they may not be used, save as otherwise provided, for agricultural production or any lucrative purpose. The floods in certain areas of France in April and May 2001 have affected supplies of fodder and have made producers vulnerable to heavy losses of income by compelling them to sell their livestock if the normal feed cannot be provided. Temporary alternatives should therefore be offered by authorising the use of land set aside under the arable-crop scheme in duly justified cases having regard to objective criteria and on condition that at least 27 % of the forage area of the holding in question has been flooded, provisin nonetheless being made for measures to ensure that the land is not used for any lucrative purpose.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. For the 2001/02 marketing year, notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside in the departments listed in the Annex hereto may be used for feeding livestock in duly justified cases having regard to objective criteria and on condition that at least 27 % of the forage area of the holdings in question has been flooded.
2. France shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the land set aside is not used for any lucrative purpose and shall in particular make sure that the products harvested on the land in question are excluded from the aid scheme for dried fodder provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(5).
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1016/2007
of 30 August 2007
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
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 market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3)
In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4)
Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5)
The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6)
The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(7)
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 rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 August 2007.

Whereas:
(1)
The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 August 2007 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 961/2007 (3).
(2)
As the average of the import duties calculated differs by more than EUR 5 a tonne from that fixed, a corresponding adjustment must be made to the import duties fixed by Regulation (EC) No 961/2007.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 961/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,

COUNCIL DECISION
of 21 February 1984
amending Decision 81/956/EEC on the equivalence of seed potatoes produced in third countries
(84/99/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), as last amended by Directive 81/561/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, by Decisions 72/294/EEC (3), 75/370/EEC (4), 78/691/EEC (5) and 81/956/EEC (6), the Council declared that seed potatoes harvested and officially controlled in Austria, Switzerland and Poland afforded the same assurances as seed potatoes harvested and controlled within the Community;
Whereas the validity of this equivalence expired on 30 June 1983; whereas, however, such equivalence should be retained for a further period since the conditions on which the Community findings were based at the outset are still fulfilled as regards the standards and procedures applicable to the certification of seed potatoes;
Whereas equivalence may be used in practice, however, only if the seed potatoes also satisfy the conditions which Member States must, or may, lay down pursuant to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (7), as last amended by Directive 81/7/EEC (8);
Whereas it has been established in this connection that the plant health situation in Austria and Switzerland regarding Corynebacterium sepedonicum and potato spindle tuber viroid must be studied in depth; whereas meanwhile the plant health data available do not rule out renewal of equivalence for a period of two years necessary for the abovementioned study;
Whereas, on the other hand, the plant health situation in Poland regarding the said two organisms has led the Council to lay down by Decision 83/640/EEC (9), special plant health requirements to which seed potatoes originating in that country are now subject;
Whereas, consequently, the renewal of equivalence for Poland may be granted only under the conditions laid down by Decision 83/640/EEC;
Whereas, furthermore, this Decision does not prevent Community findings from being revoked or the period of their validity from not being extended if it becomes apparent that the conditions on which such findings are based are not or are no longer fulfilled,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In Article 2 of Decision 81/956/EEC, 'to 30 June 1983' is hereby replaced by the following: 'to 30 June 1985, in the case of Austria and Switzerland, and to 31 January 1984, in the case of Poland'.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply with effect from 1 July 1983.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(2)
