COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 179/2008
of 28 February 2008
allowing the extension of the duration of private storage contracts in the pigmeat sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), and in particular Articles 4(6) and 5(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1267/2007 (2) provides for the granting of private storage aid for the pigmeat sector for storage contracts with a duration of three, four or five months.
(2)
The situation within the Community pigmeat market does not yet show any significant signs that the price of pig carcasses will recover and it is therefore necessary to allow a one-off extension of the validity period of the storage contracts concluded under Regulation (EC) No 1267/2007 for a maximum period of three months.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In respect of the current private storage contracts, the duration of storage shall be extended once at the request of the party concerned. This extension shall not exceed three months and shall relate to the total amount stipulated in the storage contract in question. The extension request shall be submitted to the intervention agency concerned, no later than three working days before the expiry date of the storage contract.
In the event of extension, the aid amount shall be increased in accordance with Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1267/2007.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 456/2006
of 20 March 2006
correcting Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 on the common organisation of the market in dried fodder
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 36 and the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1)
The text of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 (2) contains a number of errors.
(2)
In Article 1 of the said Regulation, CN codes ex 1214 90 91 and ex 1214 90 99 should be replaced by CN code ex 1214 90 90 following an amendment to the combined nomenclature.
(3)
In Article 5(1) of the said Regulation, the maximum guaranteed quantity of 4 855 900 tonnes should be replaced by the maximum guaranteed quantity of 4 960 723 tonnes, the sum of the guaranteed national quantities listed in paragraph 2 of that Article.
(4)
The first subparagraph of Article 6 of the said Regulation should be reworded in order to describe correctly the method of decreasing the aid, should the maximum guaranteed quantity be overrun. In the second subparagraph of the same Article, all linguistic versions should be aligned in order to use the same terminology when expressing the principle that no increase in budget expenditure is possible in the event of an overrun of the maximum guaranteed quantity.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 should therefore be corrected accordingly.
(6)
Given that the corrections have no negative effect on economic operators, this Regulation should apply from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 is hereby corrected as follows:
1.
In point (a) of the first column of the table in Article 1, CN codes ‘ex 1214 90 91 and ex 1214 90 99’ shall be replaced by CN code ‘ex 1214 90 90’.

3.
Article 6 shall be replaced as follows:
‘Article 6
Where during a marketing year the volume of dried fodder for which aid as provided for in Article 4(2) is claimed exceeds the maximum guaranteed quantity set out in Article 5(1), the aid shall be reduced in each Member State in which production exceeds the guaranteed national quantity by reducing expenditure as a function of the percentage of the sum of the overruns represented by the overrun of that Member State.
The reduction shall be set, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2), at a level ensuring that budget expenditure expressed in euro does not exceed that which would have been attained had the maximum guaranteed quantity not been exceeded.’.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 April 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The classification of a video conferencing system consisting of various components including two installation diskettes in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2184/97 of 3 November 1997 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature (2) has led to classifications under CN code 8517 50 90 for the video conferencing system and 8524 91 10 for the two installation diskettes. Since Note 6 to Chapter 85 of the Combined Nomenclature was amended with effect from 1 January 2002 and in view of the fact that the HS Committee agreed in October 2004 on the interpretation of this Note, Regulation (EC) No 2184/97 is to be considered as incorrect.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 2184/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Point 4 of the table set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2184/97 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2

establishing a prohibition of fishing for common sole in ICES zones VIIIa, b by vessels flying the flag of Belgium

(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 2005.
(3)
It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
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 2005 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Article 2
Prohibitions
Fishing for 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 shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3656/90 of 11 December 1990 amending Regulation (EEC) N° 3103/76 as regards the list of regions producing durum wheat in which aid for such wheat is to be granted in Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the aid provided for in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3653/90 of 11 December 1990 introducing transitional measures governing the common organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal(1) to compensate for the fall in revenue resulting from the alignment of the Portuguese support price on that applicable in the Community is not granted for durum wheat; whereas, in the absence of such aid, the relationship between the support granted for the production of durum wheat in Portugal and that granted for common wheat produces an opposite effect from the relationship existing in the rest of the Community; whereas, in order to make for a better balance in Portugal between these two cereals, it is appropriate that production aid for durum wheat be granted in its entirety in all the traditional production areas covered by this Regulation;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3103/76(2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1216/89(3), defines the regions producing durum wheat in which aid for such wheat is granted; whereas it is therefore necessary to supplement the list of those regions,

'PORTUGAL:
