THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 123(5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Central Bank (1),

on the import arrangements applicable for 1988 to products falling within CN codes 0714 10 90 and 0714 90 10 and originating in certain third countries which are not members of GATT, other than the People's Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 430/87 (1), the Council laid down the arrangements applicable to imports of products falling within CN codes 0714 10 90 and 0714 90 10 (07.06 A of the Common Customs Tariff) and originating in third countries for 1987, 1988, 1989 and, according to the circumstances, 1990; whereas, however, for products imported from third countries which are not members of GATT, other than the People's Republic of China, as referred to in Article 1 (e) of Regulation (EEC) No 430/87, the quantities qualifying under the arrangements in question were determined for 1987 only;
Whereas the quantities for 1988 should be determined taking into account, on the one hand, the measures which the Community will have to adopt to stabilize agricultural production and, on the other hand, the need to maintain the pattern of trade with those countries while ensuring that the balance of the internal market in cereal products does not suffer as a result;
Whereas there may be applications for the import of quantities exceeding the allocated quota; whereas some of those applications covering a limited quantity traditionally relate to uses other than animal feed; whereas, in order not to eliminate them completely, provision should accordingly be made for imports of the products in question under the arrangements concerned not to be subject to the quantitative limits laid down for products used in animal feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For products falling within CN codes 0714 10 90 and 0714 90 10, the levy of not more than 6 % ad valorem applicable to imports shall be limited for 1988 to 30 000 tonnes originating in third countries which are not members of GATT, other than the People's Republic of China, as referred to in Article 1 (e) of Regulation (EEC) No 430/87.
The quantitative limit laid down in the first subparagraph shall not, however, apply to imports of products which are used for direct human consumption only.
Article 2
In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1097/88 (3), the Commission shall adopt the detailed rules for the application of this Regulation and shall determine the products referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 1 of this Regulation.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2332/2002
of 23 December 2002
correcting Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Articles 26(3) and 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The description of the products under certain quotas in Annex I.B to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2002(4), may lead to confusion. To avoid this and to guarantee uniform application of all quotas that Annex should be corrected.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I, Part B, to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 is hereby corrected in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 29/2003
of 8 January 2003
amending Regulation (EC) No 2267/2002 fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
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 market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2267/2002(4) fixes the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses from 20 December 2002. The prices notified to the Commission by one Member State contained an error and the most favourable purchase prices on the world market referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 were therefore incorrectly established.
(2) Consequently, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2267/2002 should be replaced from the date of application of that Regulation.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Commission Decision
of 30 January 2002
granting Portugal a transitional period to bring its accounting systems into line with Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2002) 340)
(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)
(2002/100/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 November 2000 modifying the common principles of the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (ESA) 95 as concerns taxes and social contributions and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96(1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Portugal on 21 June 2001,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000, contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 ensures better comparability and transparency among the Member States in the recording of taxes and social contributions in ESA 95 for the Excessive Deficit Procedure. It provides that net lending/net borrowing of general government is not to include amounts of taxes and social contributions unlikely to be collected.
(3) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 Member States may ask the Commission for a transitional period in which to bring their accounting systems into line with that Regulation.
(4) By letter dated 21 June 2001, the Portuguese authorities have requested a transitional period to bring their accounting systems into line with Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000.
(5) Portugal has provided to the Commission evidence of the need to improve the knowledge of the parts of taxes and social contributions which are assessed and declared but unlikely to be collected. This improvement will benefit from the new Official Plan of Public Accounting which is being implemented and which is fully consistent with ESA 95 principles. However, the Commission considers that Portugal can be ready for a correct implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 in mid 2002.
(6) The request by Portugal should therefore be granted up until 30 June 2002,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Portugal is granted a transitional period in order to bring its accounting systems into line with Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 no later than 30 June 2002.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 96/14/EC (2), and in particular Annex III, Part A (12) thereto,
