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 amended by Regulation (EC) No 2704/1999(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3) lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards eligibility for area payments. Article 3(1)(c) provides in particular that area payments for arable crops are to be paid solely on areas on which the crop is maintained until at least the beginning of flowering under conditions of normal growth. It further provides that for oilseeds, protein plants, linseed and durum wheat, crops must also be cultivated at least until 30 June prior to the marketing year in question.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84 of 18 December 1984 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1985 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, duties on the products listed in Annex II originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 12;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 12, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, 165 % of the highest maximum amount valid for 1980;
Whereas, in the case of articles of apparel and clothing accessories, falling within subheading 39.07 B V ex d), the individual ceiling was fixed at 4 642 300 ECU; whereas, on 28 June 1985, imports of these products into the Community originating in Hong Kong reached that ceiling after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference causes economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be against Hong Kong,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
As from 5 July 1985, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3562/84, shall be on re-established imports into the Community of the following products originating in Hong Kong:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 235/79 of 5 February 1979 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 on the common organization of the market in hops as regards the verification of the equivalence of attestations accompanying hops imported from non-member countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 on the common organization of the market in hops (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1170/77 (3), provides that the equivalence to Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from non-member countries issued by the authorities of the country of origin shall be verified by 31 December 1978 at the latest;
Whereas at present only a limited number of non-member countries have undertaken to ensure that the hops they export to the Community are of the required quality characteristics and have appointed bodies to issue attestations accordingly ; whereas the equivalence of such attestations to the Community certificates has been recognized;
Whereas certain other non-member countries require more time to set up the administrative procedures and checks necessary;
Whereas, moreover, the trend on the world market for hops suggests that new producer countries will enter this market in the relatively near future ; whereas it accordingly seems advisable not to fix final dates for the verification of the equivalence of attestations accompanying products exported by such countries to the Community,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the last sentence of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 the words "by 31 December 1978 at the latest" shall be deleted.

(2) Chapter 4 of Annex II to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and pubic health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC(5), as last amended by Decision 1999/724/EC(6), lays down the health conditions applicable to putting on the market and for imports of gelatine intended for human consumption.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 214/2004
of 6 February 2004
laying down the marketing standard for cherries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Cherries are among the products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for which standards must be adopted. In the interest of clarity, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 899/87 of 30 March 1987 laying down quality standards for cherries(2), which has been amended several times, should be repealed and replaced by a new regulation. To that end, and in the interest of preserving transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the UN/ECE standard FFV-13 concerning marketing and quality control of cherries recommended by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).
(2) Application of these new standards should remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, bring production into line with consumer requirements and facilitate trade based on fair competition, thereby helping to improve profitability.
(3) The standards are applicable at all marketing stages. Long-distance transport, storage over a certain period and the various processes the products undergo may cause some degree of deterioration owing to the biological development of the products or their perishable nature. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standard at the marketing stages following dispatch.
(4) As products in the "Extra" class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness and turgidity is to be taken into account in their case.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The marketing standard for cherries falling within CN code 0809 20 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standards shall apply at all marketing stages under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, products may show, in relation to the requirements of the standard, a slight lack of freshness and turgidity; products graded in classes other than the "Extra" class may show in addition slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Article 2
Regulation (EEC) No 899/87 is repealed
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of 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.

Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 of 17 December 1999 fixing for 2000 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required and amending Regulation (EC) No 66/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2579/2000(4), lays down quotas for herring for 2000.
