THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2007.
(2)
On 8 June 2007 Sweden notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 21(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, that it would close the fishery for common sole in the waters of ICES zone III a, III b, c, d for its vessels from 11 June 2007.
(3)
On 5 July 2007 the Commission, pursuant to Article 21(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 and Article 26(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, adopted Regulation (EC) No 790/2007 (4) prohibiting fishing for common sole in the waters of ICES zone III a, III b, c, d by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden, with effect from the same date.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2135/93 of 28 July 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3895/92 fixing the amount of the carry-over aid for certain fishery products for the 1993 fishing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 697/93 (2), and in particular Article 14 (5) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, in the process of reforming various mechanisms of the common organization of markets in fishery products, introduces new products eligible under these mechanisms;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3895/92 (3) fixes for the 1993 season the carryover aid for products covered by the common organization of markets before the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92; whereas, therefore, Regulation (EEC) No 3895/92 should be amended to include the new products;
Whereas, since the inclusion of certain new products has no significant impact on the technical and financial costs of the operations concerned, the amounts of the aid should not be adjusted;
Whereas, in respect of the types of processing and the technical and financial costs associated with the operations concerned, sole (Solea spp.) resembles more closely the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D) to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 than the products listed in Annex I, E to that Regulation; whereas the amount of the aid should accordingly be fixed for sole at the same level as for the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The titles of sections 1 and 2 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3895/92 are hereby amended as follows:

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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2863/94 of 25 November 1994 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Spanish whisky for the period 1994/95
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned; whereas that coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, in view of the information provided by Spain on the period 1 January to 31 December 1993, the average ageing period in 1993 was four years for Spanish whisky; whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995 should be fixed;
Whereas Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (2) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Iceland, Finland, Sweden and Norway; whereas, therefore, pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Regulation (E) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 1994/95;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Spain for manufacturing Spanish whisky shall be as set out in the Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1994.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3571/90 (2), and in particular Article 13 (7) thereof,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 provides for the payment of financial compensation to producers' organizations which intervene, on certain conditions, in respect of the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D) to that Regulation; whereas the amount of such financial compensation must be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 (3) specifies the ways in which the products withdrawn must be disposed of; whereas the value of such products must be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average receipts which may be obtained from such disposal;
Whereas, on the basis of the relevant information on this value, it should be fixed for the 1992 fishing year as shown in the Annex hereto;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3137/82 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3507/89 (5), the body responsible for payment of the financial compensation is that of the Member State in which the producers' organization was recognized;
Whereas the standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State;
Whereas the abovementioned provisions are equally applicable to the advance on the financial compensation provided for in Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2202/82 (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The standard values to be used in calculating the financial compensation and the advance pertaining thereto provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 in respect of products withdrawn by producers' organizations and used for purposes other than human consumption shall be for the 1992 fishing year as shown in the Annex hereto for each of the uses indicated therein.
Article 2
The standard value to be deducted from the financial compensation and the advance pertaining thereto shall be that applied in the Member State in which the producers' organization was recognized.
Article 3
