THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:
(1)
The model health certificates for intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals for slaughter, fattening and breeding are set out in Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC as models I, II and III respectively.

amending Commission Decision 1999/478/EC of renewing the Advisory Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1)
It is important for the Commission to obtain the input of the interests concerned on the issues raised by the establishment of a common fisheries policy (CFP).

The membership of ACFA is defined in Article 3 of Decision 1999/478/EC.
(2)
Decision 1999/478/EC set up four working groups to prepare the opinions of the Committee; working group 2 is in charge of Aquaculture.
(3)
Given the rapid growth of European aquaculture in recent years, it is appropriate that the interests of this sector are better represented within ACFA. The membership of this Committee should therefore be extended in order to include the vice-chairman of working group 2. Decision 1999/478/EC should be amended accordingly,
DECIDES:
Article 1
Article 3 of Decision 1999/478/EC is amended as follows:

the first sentence is replaced by the following:
‘The Committee is composed of 21 members hereafter referred to as “the members”.’;

‘2. The following also have a seat on the Committee: the chairman and vice-chairman of the Fisheries sectorial dialogue committee and the chairman and vice-chairman of working groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 as referred to in Article 7.’

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 of 29 November 2005 on the tariff rates for bananas (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The import licences issued in accordance with Article 6(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2015/2005 of 9 December 2005 on imports during January and February 2006 of bananas originating in ACP countries under the tariff quota opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 on the tariff rates for bananas (2) were valid from 1 January 2006 to 7 April 2006. In order to ensure that all these imports of bananas are adequately monitored, the Member States should notify the Commission of the quantities released into free circulation on the basis of licences used in March and April 2006 in addition to the quantities released into free circulation on the basis of licences used in January and February.
(2)
Article 6(2)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 219/2006 (3), which provides for such notification, should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,

Article 6(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 219/2006 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘(b)
as soon as possible and not later than 30 June 2006, the quantities of bananas released into free circulation, on the basis of the licences issued in accordance with Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2015/2005’

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1169/2003
of 30 June 2003
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
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 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 44,398 EUR/100 kg net.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
