Commission Regulation (EC) No 1900/2002
of 24 October 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 on rules of application (cereal sector import duties) for Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, of 30 June 1992, on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 597/2002(4), the Commission uses the quotations for US Barley No 2 on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange to determine the representative cif import price for barley. If these quotations are not representative, fob quotations available in the United States of America are used instead. In the summer months, the Commission normally uses the fob quotations for barley in Duluth (Great Lakes). In the wintertime, however, and due to the Great Lakes freeze over, other fob quotations are normally used (Gulf or Portland).
(2) The second footnote of annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 stipulates that an amount corresponding to the freight cost, from the place of the quotation to the Gulf of Mexico, must be taken into account. As a result of using of the fob quotation in Portland, some distortions have occurred in the calculation of the representative cif import price for barley. As the barley-producing areas are situated in the north-central States of the United States of America, the distances to be covered and, in consequence, the freight costs from the production areas to the export ports are all similar. The requirement to take account of the freight costs between the selected port of fob quotation and the Gulf of Mexico should therefore be removed.
(3) Consequently, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 must be amended.
(4) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The second footnote in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 is replaced by the following: "Where no quotation is available that can be used to calculate a representative cif import price, the most representative fob quotations publicly available in the United States of America shall be used."
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2580/2000(2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)

(2)
Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3)
The second subparagraph of Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

Commission Decision
of 30 March 2004
amending Decision 96/228/EC on a long-term national aid scheme to assist farmers in northern areas of Sweden
(notified under document number C(2004) 966)
(Only the Swedish text is authentic)
(2004/291/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 142 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Sweden, acting in accordance with Article 143 of the Act of Accession, notified the Commission on 11 May 1995 of the aid scheme proposed under Article 142.
(2) The aid scheme was approved by Commission Decision 96/228/EC(1).
(3) Sweden requested on 8 July 2002 and 30 June 2003 that the Commission amend certain aspects of Decision 96/228/EC and subsequently presented additional information in support of its requests.
(4) In the abovementioned letters Sweden requested that certain unit aid levels should be increased. These modifications take account the change in the level of compensatory allowances and are not likely to lead to any increase in overall support.
(5) Experience has shown that the precautionary measure to prevent possible increases in production that benefit from aid is no longer needed. Furthermore, limitations in aid amounts and the number of units covered by aid supply the same need.
(6) The rates of Community aid foreseen have been modified. Thus, they do not serve the original purpose anymore and there is no need to define them beforehand.
(7) Decision 96/228/EC should be amended accordingly.
(8) In view of the nature and scope of the amendments, and at the request of Sweden, it should be provided that the amendment takes effect from 1 January 2003.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 96/228/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2(2) is deleted;
2. third paragraph of Article 3(1) is replaced by following:"The aid shall be authorised taking into account the Community aid and shall in no case be granted on the basis of quantity produced with the exception of aid for cow's milk.";
3. third paragraph of Article 4 is deleted;
4. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
"Article 6
If the Commission reviews this Decision, in particular on the basis of trends in the value of the national currency or of the trends in the Community aid, any amendments to the aid authorised by this Decision shall apply only from the year following that in which the amendment was adopted.";
5. Annexes II and V are deleted;
6. Annex III is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2003.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden.
