Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 91/266/EEC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/469/EEC of 16 September 1986 concerning the examination of animals and fresh meat for the presence of residues (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof, in conjunction with Council Directive 88/146/EEC of 7 March 1988 prohibiting the use in livestock farming of certain substances having a hormonal action (4), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas, in application of Decision 89/15/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 90/485/EEC (6), Member States continue to authorize imports of fresh meat and live animals from certain third countries appearing in the Annex to this Decision under the conditions laid down in that Annex;
Whereas the authorities of Iceland have forwarded sufficient information on their laws on the use of substances having an oestrogenic, androgenic, gestagenic and thyrostatic action as well as specific information on the plan specifying the guarantees offered by their country in respect of monitoring of residues of substances in Group A, I and II in Annex I to Decision 86/469/EEC and whereas those guarantees may be considered as equivalent to those resulting from the application of Council Directives 85/358/EEC (7) and 86/469/EEC;
Whereas the authorities of this country have, moreover, guaranteed that no meat coming from animals to which substances having a thyrostatic, oestrogenic, androgenic or gestagenic action have been administered by any means will be exported to the Community;
Whereas for these types of substances, imports of fresh meat of ovines from Iceland should therefore be authorized;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 673/2001
of 2 April 2001
fixing the ceilings on financing for measures to improve the quality of olive oil production in the 2001/2002 production cycle and derogating from Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 laying down measures to improve the quality of olive oil production(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 593/2001(4), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 provides that ceilings be fixed, for each Member State and each twelve-month production cycle, on financing for measures to improve the quality of olive oil production and its environmental impact which are eligible for reimbursement by the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2236/2000 of 9 October 2000 fixing the estimated production of olive oil and the unit amount of the production aid that may be paid in advance for the 1999/2000 marketing year(5) estimates production, including production of table olives expressed as olive oil equivalent, at 1945243 tonnes. This corresponds to 754500 tonnes for Spain, 441000 tonnes for Greece, 700000 tonnes for Italy, 46991 tonnes for Portugal and 2752 tonnes for France. The amount withheld from production aid for this olive oil marketing year serves as a basis for financing measures to improve the quality of oil during the production cycle commencing on 1 May 2001.
(3) The measures have relatively fixed minimum costs. The ceilings on total financing for some Member States may therefore prove to be too low. Appropriate limits should consequently be established for those cases.
(4) 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
For the production cycle from 1 May 2001 to 30 April 2002, the ceilings on financing for the measures laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 shall be:
>TABLE>
Article 2
Notwithstanding Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999, the additional national financial contribution from Member States whose ceiling on financing laid down in Article 1 is EUR 100000 or less shall be no more than EUR 250000.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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 Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 lays down that a reference price for each type of hybrid maize for sowing shall be fixed annually; whereas these reference prices are to be fixed on the basis of the free-at-frontier prices recorded during the past three marketing years, but excluding abnormally low prices; whereas, under Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1578/72 of 20 July 1972 laying down general rules for fixing reference prices and for determining free-at-frontier offer prices for hybrid maize for sowing (3), only prices of imports from non-member countries which are representative as regards quantity and quality are to be taken into account;
Whereas imports of the types of hybrid maize for sowing falling within subheading 10.05 A IV ('other') of the Common Customs Tariff cannot, given the very small quantity involved, be considered as representative; whereas, therefore, no reference price for those types of maize can be fixed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Seeds has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

COMMISSION DECISION

amending Decision 2001/657/EC extending the derogation to include fillets of salt cod and whole salt cod
(notified under document number C(2005) 1256)
(2005/335/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (Overseas Association Decision) (1), and in particular Article 37(9)(c) of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1)
By way of Decision 2001/657/EC (2), a derogation was granted to Saint Pierre and Miquelon from the definition of the concept of originating products to take account of its special situation with regard to frozen fillets of cod, redfish, plaice and halibut of CN code 0304 20.
(2)
On 20 January 2005, the French Government has requested an amendment to Decision 2001/657/EC in order to obtain an extension of the scope of the derogation granted in respect of frozen fillets of cod of CN code ex 0304 20, to fillets of salt cod of CN code ex 0305 30 and whole salt cod of CN code 0305 62.
(3)
The French Government has based its request on a readjustment in the sales strategy of a local industry towards European markets.
(4)
The requested derogation is justified under the terms of the provisions concerned in paragraph 1 of Article 37 of Annex III to the Council Decision 2001/822/EC as it is vital to preserving a seafood-processing industry and the associated jobs.
(5)
The requested amendment would not alter the global annual quantity granted for cod, nor would it alter the duration of the derogation and would consequently not cause serious injury to an established Community industry.
(6)
Therefore, the Decision 2001/657/EC should be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
