Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 36(2), second subparagraph, second sentence thereof,
Whereas:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1962/87 of 2 July 1987 fixing the amounts of aid granted for seeds for the 1988/89 and 1989/90 marketing years
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 Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1), and in particular Articles 89 (1) and 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organization of the market in seeds (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1355/86 (3), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (5),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (6),
Whereas the present situation on the Community market for seeds listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 and which will be marketed during the 1988/89 and 1989/90 marketing years and its foreseeable development do not ensure a fair income for producers; whereas part of the production costs should therefore be offset by the granting of aid;
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 provides that the aid shall be fixed, taking into account, on the one hand, the need to ensure a balance between the volume of production required in the Community and the possible outlets for that production and, on the other hand, the prices of the products on external markets;
Whereas Articles 106 and 300 of the Act of Accession stipulate that the aid for seeds is to be granted in Spain and Portugal in accordance with Articles 79 and 246 of the said Act;
Whereas the application of these criteria results in the fixing of the amount of the aids applicable for the 1988/89 and 1989/90 marketing years at the levels set out in the Annexes hereto,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Fot the 1988/89 and 1989/90 marketing years the amounts of the aid granted for seeds referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 shall be as set out in the Annexes hereto.
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 from 1 July 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1994 approving an amendment to the Spanish programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in Andalusia (94/483/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1110/91 (3), and in particular
Article 10
(3) thereof,
Whereas on 9 March 1993 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission of their intention to establish a programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in Andalusia; whereas the Commission approved the programme in its Decision 93/223/EEC (4);
Whereas Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 provides that that Regulation is to apply until 31 March 1993 and that no programme of agricultural income aid is to be approved after that date; whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 7 (1) of the same Regulation, after that date the Commission can only approve technical amendments to programmes of aid to agricultural income;
Whereas on 21 March 1994 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission that they had made some technical errors when drawing up the programme, in particular with regard to the calculation of the flat-rate basis for monitoring agricultural work units;
Whereas these errors must be corrected; whereas as a result of these errors and the need to correct them the Spanish authorities made no income aid payments between the date of entry into force of the Decision approving the programme and the deadline for benefiting from the funds entered in the Community budget for 1993 for the programme;
Whereas the Spanish authorities have requested that the amount entered in the Community budget for 1993 should be entered in the Community budget for 1994; whereas it seems appropriate to grant this request, given that it is not of a nature to alter the substance of the Decision of 26 March 1993 approving the programme;
Whereas the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aid was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the measure provided for in this Decision;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the maximum amounts that can be charged to the Community budget each year under the programme approved,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in Andalusia notified to the Commission by the Spanish authorities on 9 March 1993, as amended by the communication of 21 March 1994, is hereby approved.
Article 2
The maximum amounts that may be charged to the Community budget each year under this Decision are as follows:
"(ECU)"" ID="1">1993> ID="2">none"> ID="1">1994> ID="2">11 142 000"> ID="1">1995> ID="2">4 216 000"> ID="1">1996> ID="2">3 312 000"> ID="1">1997> ID="2">2 409 000">

(2) The Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 571/97(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1006/2001(4), should be amended accordingly.

Commission Decision
of 24 May 2002
on the sale of Community olive oil residues held by the Italian intervention agency
(notified under document number C(2002) 1642)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(2002/408/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20 July 1998 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the intervention arrangements prior to 1 November 1998 olive oil was purchased by the Spanish, Greek and Italian intervention agencies. The legal basis for those arrangements was repealed with effect from 1 November 1998 by Regulation (EC) No 1638/98. However, in order to guarantee a smooth transition from the intervention buying-in arrangements to the current situation where those arrangements no longer exist and in order to release all available stocks of olive oil from Community intervention agencies, the sale of quantities still in storage in Italy should be authorised. The oil is vat-bottom residues which contain a considerable percentage of olive oil.
(2) Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2754/78 of 23 November 1978 on intervention in the olive oil sector(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2203/90(4), provides that Community olive oil held by intervention agencies should be put up for sale by tender, unless special conditions warrant recourse to other procedures. The olive oil residues still in storage in Italy could not be sold under Commission Regulation (EC) No 2599/2001 of 28 December 2001 on the sale of Community olive oil residues held by the Spanish, Greek and Italian intervention agencies(5) because not enough tenders were received in Italy. Those olive oil residues should be put up for sale again. To enable the Italian authorities to find a fair solution under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2754/78, the sale of those residues should be authorised via direct agreement instead of via a public tendering procedure.
(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. The Italian intervention agency "Agenzia per le Erogazioni in Agricoltura", hereafter called "AGEA", is authorised to sell by direct agreement 27,1 tonnes of Community olive oil residue held by it as a result of intervention on the Community olive oil market.
2. The product referred to in paragraph 1 must be sold before 15 July 2002.
3. The product must be delivered before 8 September 2002.
4. The Italian intervention agency shall inform the Commission as soon as possible of the outcome of the sale.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
