(notified under document number C(2005) 2940)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/623/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22 November 1994 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations (1) and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the letter dated 2 April 2004 from the Cypriot authorities, requesting the extension to Cyprus of the limited recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping (hereinafter HRS) pursuant to Article 4(2) of Directive 94/57/EC,
Having regard to the letter dated 7 September 2004 from the Greek authorities, requesting the unconditional extension of the limited recognition of HRS pursuant to Article 4(3) of that Directive,
Whereas:
(1)
The limited recognition under Article 4(3) of Directive 94/57/EC is a recognition granted to organisations known as classification societies, which fulfil all criteria other than those set out under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the ‘General’ section A of the Annex thereto, but limited in time and scope in order for the organisation concerned to gain further experience.
(2)
Commission Decision 2001/890/EC (2) recognised HRS for Greece on the basis of Article 4(3), for a period of three years from 13 December 2001.
(3)
The Commission has verified that HRS meets all criteria of the Annex to Directive 94/57/EC other than those set out under paragraphs 2 and 3 of the ‘General’ section A of that Annex.
(4)
The assessment carried out by the Commission has furthermore revealed signs that HRS needs to keep developing its system of quality indicators in order to enhance its ability to measure both risk and performance.
(5)
The organisation’s safety and pollution performance records as published by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding, albeit poor during the period 2000 to 2002, showed a trend towards moderate improvement in 2003 and HRS has committed itself to the objective of bringing its performance records into line with the average of the recognised organisations.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the COSS Committee set up by Article 7 of Directive 94/57/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The limited recognition of the Hellenic Register of Shipping granted by Decision 2001/890/EC is extended for a period of three years as from the date of adoption of this Decision.
Article 2
The effects of the extended recognition are limited to Greece and Cyprus.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Cyprus.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2004

amending and correcting the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy(1), and in particular the second indent of Article 11(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999, that Regulation applies to payments granted directly to farmers under the support schemes listed in its Annex.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 will be replaced, as from 1 May 2004, by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001(2). However, Articles 2a and 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 will continue to apply until 31 December 2005 and Articles 3, 4 and 5 of that Regulation will continue to apply until 31 December 2004. For the purpose of the application of those Articles, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 will continue to apply accordingly.
(3) The list of support schemes set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 indicates the relevant product sectors, the provisions on the basis of which the support is paid under the different schemes and the type of payment concerned. These indications are however no longer up-to-date, as several of the provisions or acts referred to have been either amended or repealed and replaced.
(4) Certain direct aid payments that fall under the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 are not mentioned in its Annex, either because of omission or because they were introduced after the adoption of that Regulation.
(5) The errors in the reference to the legal basis for beef and veal as well as in the notes concerning sheep and goat should be corrected.
(6) The Annex to Regulation (EC) 1259/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,

Whereas:

fixing the derived intervention prices for white sugar for the 2003/04 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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,

(2) Article 2(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 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 based on 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, Italy, 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,
