COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 230/96 of 7 February 1996 on the extension of the validity of import licences issued upon the allocation of the 1996 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96 (2), and in particular Article 17 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1732/95 (3) establishes administrative procedures for the 1996 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China; whereas, pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 of that Regulation, the import licences covering these quotas are, in principle, valid for nine months starting on 1 January 1996, although an extension may be possible subject to certain conditions;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2319/95 (4) establishes the quantities to be allocated to importers from the said quotas;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 138/96 amends Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 to the effect that quantities that have not been used in a quota period may be redistributed during the next quota period; whereas, therefore, import licences being valid for a period equal to the whole of the quota period are no longer incompatible with the aim of ensuring optimum use of the quotas;
Whereas in view of the special nature of transactions concerning products subject to quota, it would seem advisable to extend until 31 December 1996 the period of validity of licences issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2319/95;
Whereas these measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The period of validity of the import licences issued by the competent authorities of the Member States pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2319/95 is hereby extended until 31 December 1996.
At the request of any importer, the competent authority which has issued the import licence shall endorse it with the modified last date of validity. This endorsement, made free of charge, shall be authenticated by the competent authority.
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.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1648/2001
of 13 August 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001(2), and in particular Article 38(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 of 3 April 2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector(3) lays down in its Article 1 the eligibility criteria to be met for carcasses in order to be accepted under the purchase scheme. The last indent of Article 1(2) provides in particular for the carcasses to be appropriately labelled. As labelling, however, serves no purpose where the meat is intended for destruction after take-over, derogation from this requirement should be provided in such circumstances.
(2) Article 3(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 provides for an amount of EUR 14 per 100 kg to be taken into account when fixing the maximum buying-in price. The experience from the application of the Regulation indicates that that amount is insufficient to cover the net slaughter costs as intended, in particular due to a low value of by-products. The amount should therefore be increased to EUR 18 per 100 kg.
(3) Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 lays down that the price to be paid to the successful tenderer shall be adjusted where carcasses taken over differ from the classification class O. The application of that provision has led to artificially high prices for meat from Category B animals offered under the scheme. An appropriate amendment should therefore be provided.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1 the following paragraph 3 is added: "3. Member States may waive the requirement laid down in the last indent of paragraph 2 where the carcasses or half-carcasses concerned are destroyed after take-over."
2. The amount of "EUR 14" referred to in Article 3(1) and (2) shall be replaced by the amount of "EUR 18".
3. Article 5(3) is replaced by the following text: "3. With the exception of carcasses from animals of Category B, where carcasses of classification classes other than O are taken over, the price to be paid to the successful tenderer for the carcasses concerned shall be adjusted by applying the coefficients fixed in Annex IV."
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 to quantities awarded under the tender on 27 August 2001 and following tenders.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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,

(2)
According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2009.
(3)
It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,

Article 1
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2009 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Article 2
Prohibitions

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), extended for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1976/85
of 16 July 1985
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular paragraph 9 of Protocol 4 on cotton, referred to below as 'the Protocol',
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Protocol provides for the granting of an aid for cotton production, the amount of which is established on the basis of the difference existing between a guide price and the world market price for unginned cotton; whereas for determination of the latter the price of cotton seed is an important factor;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1462/84 (2), lays down that, in view of the system of import control applicable in Greece until the end of 1983 that was introduced under Article 82 of the 1979 Act of Accession and by derogation from the said first subparagraph of Article 4 (1), until the end of the 1984/85 marketing year account is to be taken for determination of the world market price for cotton seed of prices and quotations recorded on the Greek market;
Whereas the second subparagraph of paragraph 4 of the same Article lays down that by derogation from the first subparagraph of that paragraph until the end of the 1984/85 marketing year offers and quotations recorded on the principal Greek exchanges for the products referred to in the first subparagraph of that paragraph are to be taken into consideration;
Whereas, despite termination of the system of import control applicable in Greece at the end of 1983, offers on the world market for cotton seed and cotton seed oil and prices quoted on the major international exchanges are likely not to become representative for the trend of the Community market in these products during the 1985/86 marketing year;
Whereas, in order to guarantee the correct application of the system of aid for cotton during the marketing year in question, the derogation laid down in the second subparagraph of paragraphs 1 and 4 of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 should be extended for a further marketing year,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) and in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81, '1984/85' is hereby replaced by '1985/86'.
