Whereas paragraph 2 (b) of Section II (Taxation) of Annex VIII to the Act of Accession of the Hellenic Republic to the European Communities authorizes Greece to exempt certain activities from value added tax in accordance with Article 28 (3) (b) of Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (3), as last amended by Directive 87/400/EEC (4);

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 920/94 of 26 April 1994 laying down transitional measures for the management of base areas in Scotland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides for a reduction in the area eligible for compensatory payments and special set-aside without compensation where the sum of the areas for which aid is claimed by producers exceeds the regional base area;
Whereas base areas were fixed for the Scottish less favoured areas (LFA) and for other land in Scotland by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 845/93 of 7 April 1993 laying down the regional base areas applicable under the support system for producers of certain arable crops (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3074/93 (4); whereas the areas for which aid applications were submitted in the first marketing year for non-LFA land exceed significantly the base area; whereas the base area could continue to be exceeded in the near future until the necessary structural adaptations have been completed in order to better comply with the objectives of the reform;
Whereas, as a result, a solution must be found which will not allow the strictness of the existing legislation to cause the failure of farming enterprises in Scotland but which does not increase the base area which is a key element in the reform of arable farming; whereas a transitional measure, gradually introducing the penalties provided for in Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, would appear to be the most appropriate measure in the circumstances; whereas this measure should only be applied for the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years;
Whereas the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limits set by its chairmen,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Notwithstanding Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 where the base area for land other than less favoured areas in Scotland is exceeded, 10, 20 and 50 % of the proportionate reduction in the area eligible for compensatory payments and the special set-aside shall be applied in the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years respectively and 100 % from the 1996/97 marketing year.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from the 1993/94 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1981/87
of 6 July 1987
amending Regulation No 282/67/EEC on detailed rules for intervention for oil seeds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1986 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1454/86 (2), and in particular Article 24a (3) thereof,
Whereas the characteristic feature of double zero rape seed is a lower glucosinolate content, which facilitates its incorporation in feedingstuffs; whereas the first subparagraph of Article 3 (4) of Commission Regulation No 282/67/EEC on detailed rules for intervention for oil seeds (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1808/85 (4), lays down a maximum authorized content of 20 micromoles per gram of seed of that description; whereas, however, the second subparagraph of that paragraph provides for a temporary derogation until the end of the 1987/88 marketing year to enable operators to adjust to the new quality requirements; whereas experience has shown that a further marketing year would be necessary for such an adjustment; whereas the maximum permissible glucosinolate content in double zero rape seed of 35 micromoles per gram of seed should consequently be extended until the end of the 1988/89 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the second subparagraph of Article 3 (4) of Regulation No 282/67/EEC, '1986/87 and 1987/88 marketing years' is hereby replaced by '1986/87, 1987/88 and 1988/89 marketing years'.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1005/2005
of 30 June 2005
fixing the derived intervention prices for white sugar for the 2005/2006 marketing year
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 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 2(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 fixes the intervention price for white sugar for non-deficit areas at EUR 631,9/tonne for the 2001/2002 to 2005/2006 marketing years.
(2)
Article 2(1)(b) of that Regulation provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are to be fixed for each deficit area each year. When those prices are fixed, account is to be taken of the regional variations in the price of sugar, which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, may be expected to occur under natural conditions of price formation on the market and in view of experience gained and the costs of transporting sugar from surplus areas to deficit areas.
(3)
To establish whether an area is a deficit area, projections should be made on the basis of the data returned by the Member States relating both to the current marketing year as regards consumption trends, and to the prospects for the coming marketing year as regards developments in available production. As a result, areas should be recognised as deficit areas only where the projections clearly indicate that a deficit is likely to occur.
(4)
On this basis, the areas of production in Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom, Portugal and Finland are likely to be deficit areas.
(5)
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 derived intervention prices for white sugar in the deficit areas of the Community for the 2005/2006 marketing year shall be:
(a)
EUR 648,80/tonne for all areas in Spain;
(b)
EUR 646,50/tonne for all areas in Ireland and the United Kingdom;
(c)
EUR 646,50/tonne for all areas in Portugal;
(d)
EUR 646,50/tonne for all areas in Finland.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
