COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 62/84
of 11 January 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2408/83 on harvest and stock declarations relating to wine-sector products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1595/83 (2), and in particular Articles 28 (4), 40 (6), 41 (7) and 65 thereof,
Whereas, despite the measures provided for in Article 3 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2408/83 (3) to facilitate the introduction of the new system of harvest declarations, some Member States have encountered administrative problems which have caused considerable delays in implementing it;
Whereas, as a result of these delays, some producers have been unable to obtain in good time the figures on yield per hectare they need to include in their declarations; whereas it should therefore be laid down, in order not to penalize these producers unfairly, that their declarations should not be invalidated by the absence or incompleteness of the said figures, provided the reasons for this have been recognized as genuine by the competent authorities in their Member State;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following paragraph 5 is hereby added to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/83:
'5. If, for the 1983/84 wine year, for reasons recognized as genuine by the competent authorities in the Member States, producers required to make harvest or production declarations find it impossible to include therein the information needed to determine the yield per hectare achieved, the complete or partial absence of this information shall not affect the validity of the declaration.
However, for the purposes of the rules on compulsory distillation referred to in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, table wine, the harvest or production declaration for which does not include the abovementioned information, shall be treated as being in the same category as table wine from holdings which obtained the highest yield per hectare.'
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 September 1983.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1527/2004
of 26 August 2004
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2)
The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3)
Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4)
In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5)
In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6)
The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7)
The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8)
It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 August 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
