COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1658/82
of 10 June 1982
supplementing by provisions on combined transport Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 of 4 June 1970 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas the various systems and technologies for combined transport bring benefits for the Community in general, inter alia by reducing congestion on certain roads, conserving energy and allowing better use to be made of railway capacity;
Whereas the investment required for the development of combined transport should accordingly be encouraged; whereas it is therefore essential that aid granted by a Member State or through State resources can be made available to the undertakings concerned;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 provides that Member States may grant aid to assist the development of transport systems and technologies that are more economic for the Community but restricts such aid to the experimental phase; whereas, for the development of combined transport, allowance should also be made for an initial operating phase which is sufficiently long to enable such transport to qualify for better conditions in the haulage market;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to adjust the Community provisions relating to aids,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70:
'(e) where the aids are granted as a temporary measure and designed to facilitate the development of combined transport, such aids having to relate to investment in the following fields:
- infrastructure,
- the fixed and moveable facilities necessary for trans-shipment.
Before 31 December 1986 the Commission shall make a progress report to the Council on the application of this provision. In the light of that report and in view of the temporary nature of the system provided for in this Regulation, the Council shall decide, on a proposal from the Commission, on the system to be applied subsequently and, if necessary, on the procedures to be adopted for terminating that system.'
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 from 1 July 1982.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1705/2002
of 26 September 2002
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 September 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1499/98 of 14 July 1998 fixing the coefficients for reducing the compensatory payments granted under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 in the 1998/99 marketing year in certain regions of the Community
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 2309/97 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, in order to prevent complicated regionalization plans resulting in actual yields which significantly exceed historical yields, Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides for the reduction of compensatory payments during the following marketing year in proportion to the overrun of the average historical yield resulting from the 1993 regionalization plans;
Whereas the procedure to be used for measuring such overruns is laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1237/95 of 31 May 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of the stabilizer to the yields used for the calculation of the compensatory payments referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2017/97 (4);
Whereas application of that method results in the fixing of the coefficients indicated in this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Pursuant to Article 3(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the compensatory payments for the 1998/99 marketing year shall be multiplied by a coefficient of 0,993 in the case of France.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.
