COUNCIL DECISION
of 12 November 1992
denouncing the Fisheries Agreement between the former German Democratic Republic and Sweden
(92/530/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, following German unification on 3 October 1990, the Community has succeeded to the Fisheries Agreements concluded by the former German Democratic Republic including one with Sweden signed on 16 December 1977;
Whereas retaining this Agreement, which essentially concerns a quota exchange of cod for herring, is not in the Community's interests, taking into account also the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community and the Government of Sweden (3), signed in Brussels on 21 March 1977;
Whereas the Agreement between the former German Democratic Republic and Sweden must therefore be terminated with effect from the next expiry date on 1 January 1994 and to that end should be denounced,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Sole Article
The Fisheries Agreement concluded between the German Democratic Republic and Sweden, signed on 16 December 1977, is hereby denounced.
The President of the Council shall notify such denunciation.
Done at Brussels, 12 November 1992.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2212/93 of 4 August 1993 re-establishing the levying of customs duties on products falling within CN code 3923 21 00, originating in Thailand, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
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,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded for 1993 to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III other than those listed in column 4 of Annex I, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceilings fixed in column 6 of Annex I;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;
Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN code 3923 21 00, originating in Thailand, the individual ceiling was fixed at ECU 4 829 000; whereas on 3 May 1993, imports of these products into the Community originating in Thailand reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Thailand,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
As from 9 August 1993, the levying of customs duties, suspended for 1993 pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products, originating in Thailand:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 730/93 of 29 March 1993 amending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 on the application of a minimum import price for frozen strawberries originating in Poland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1333/92 of 18 May 1992 on the system of minimum import prices for certain soft fruits originating in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92 of 10 June 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the minimum import price system for certain soft fruits originating in Hungary, Poland and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and fixing the minimum import prices applicable until 31 May 1993 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 268/93 (3), provides that the Commission is to adopt any necessary measures if the minimum import price is not complied with;
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 2893/92 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3788/92 (5), the Commission introduced a minimum import price applicable until 31 March 1993 to frozen strawberries originating in Poland; whereas information available to the Commission shows clearly that the unit value of frozen strawberries originating in Poland falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 * 10 has, on average, for the third three-month period of the marketing year, remained well below the minimum import price fixed in Regulation (EEC) No 1498/92; whereas the requirement of a minimum price should therefore be maintained for a period of two months for frozen strawberries falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 * 10 and abolished for frozen strawberries falling within Taric code 0811 10 90 * 10,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991 on driving licences (1), and in particular Article 7a(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The minimum requirements for fitness to drive are not harmonised to the full extent. Member States are allowed to impose standards that are stricter than the minimum European requirements, as laid down in Annex III point 5 to Directive 91/439/EEC.
(2)
Since the existence of different requirements in different Member States may affect the principle of free movement the Council specifically asked for a review of the medical standards for driver licensing set out in Annex III to Directive 91/439/EEC in its resolution of 26 June 2000.
(3)
In line with this Council resolution, the Commission advised that medium- and long-term work should be undertaken in order to adapt Annex III to scientific and technical progress as laid down in Article 7a(2) of Directive 91/439/EEC.
(4)
Eyesight, diabetes and epilepsy were identified as being medical conditions affecting fitness to drive which needed to be considered; to that end working groups comprised of specialists appointed by Member States were set up.
(5)
These working groups produced reports with a view to updating the relevant points of Annex III to Directive 91/439/EEC.
(6)
Directive 91/439/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on driving licences,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Annex III to Directive 91/439/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex.
Article 2
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive no later than one year after entry into force of this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.

Whereas, under the preferential agreements between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania of the other part (hereinafter called 'third countries`), concessions regarding certain agricultural products including processed products have been granted to those countries;
Whereas, as a result of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, those concessions should be adjusted to take into account the arrangements for trade in agricultural products including processed products which existed between Austria, Finland and Sweden, of the one part, and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania, of the other part;
Whereas to that end exploratory talks are in progress with those third countries with a view to the conclusion of additional protocols to the abovementioned agreements;
Whereas, however, because of the excessively tight deadline, the additional protocols could not enter into force on 1 January 1995;
Whereas in those circumstances and pursuant to Articles 76, 102 and 128 of the Act of Accession the Community must adopt the measures required to remedy the situation; whereas those measures must take the form of autonomous Community tariff quotas covering the conventional preferential tariff concessions applied by Austria, Finland and Sweden;
Whereas the new Member States must apply the import arrangements applicable in the Community with effect from 1 January 1995,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Without prejudice to the import arrangements in the Community applicable to certain agricultural products, including processed products, pursuant to agreements concluded between the Community and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania existing Community tariff quotas shall be increased or, as necessary, new tariff quotas shall be opened autonomously in accordance with Annexes I and II to this Regulation.
Article 2
Articles 2 to 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1798/94 (1) shall not apply to the tariff concessions referred to in Annex I. Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 (2) shall apply as regards products referred to in Annex II.
