Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 of June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,

Commission Decision 97/296/EC of 22 April 1997 drawing up the list of third countries from which the import of fishery products is authorised for human consumption (2), lists the countries and territories from which import of fishery products for human consumption is authorised. Part I of the Annex to that Decision lists the countries and territories covered by a specific decision under Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products (3), and part II of that Annex lists the countries and territories meeting the conditions set out in Article 2(2) of Decision 95/408/EC.
(2)
Commission Decisions 2005/72/EC (4), 2005/73/EC (5) and 2005/74/EC (6) provide for specific import conditions for fishery products originating in Antigua and Barbuda, Hong Kong and El Salvador which should therefore be included in the list in Part I of the Annex to Decision 97/296/EC.
(3)
The list set out in Part I of the Annex to Decision 97/296/EC includes Slovakia. Since that country is now a Member State its name should be deleted from that list.
(4)
In the interests of clarity the lists concerned should be replaced in their entirety.
(5)
Decision 97/296/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
This Decision should apply from the same day as Decisions 2005/72/EC, 2005/73/EC and 2005/74/EC as regards the import of fishery products from Antigua and Barbuda, Hong Kong and El Salvador.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92, the Member States have forwarded to the Commission applications for the registration of certain names as certificates of special character;

Whereas no declaration of objection within the meaning of Article 9 of the Regulation has been sent to the Commission as a result of the publication of the names in question in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2);
Whereas, as a result, those names may be entered in the 'Register of certificates of specific character` and therefore be protected throughout the Community as guaranteed traditional specialities,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 260/2006
of 15 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 1573/2005 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of rye held by the German intervention agency for processing into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The use of bioethanol obtained from rye made available under the invitation to tender opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1573/2005 (2) for the final production of biofuel involves various economic operators and the transport of the bioethanol to the premises of the industrialists responsible for adding the bioethanol to other fuels.
(2)
As the economic circuits used require the transport of the bioethanol, provision should be made for the possibility of storing it with intermediaries by mixing it with identical products not obtained under the invitation to tender concerned. It is, however, necessary to maintain traceability of the flows of the quantities obtained under the invitation to tender.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 1573/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1573/2005 is replaced by the following:
‘3. Notwithstanding Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, proof that the rye has been properly used shall be provided where it is stored in a bioethanol processing undertaking, its processing into bioethanol has taken place and the biofuel producer shows that this bioethanol has been processed into biofuel. Proof of processing into biofuel shall be provided by the stock records kept by the various parties involved and by the submission of supporting documents for the movement of the products. Under these conditions, the intermediate storage of the bioethanol may be carried out by mixing with other bioethanols.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 388/75 (3) was adopted at a time when the structure of the market was very different from today's, being based mainly on long-term crude-oil supply contracts, now replaced by 'spot` contracts;
Whereas the six-monthly and annual notifications required of Member States are no longer requested for all crude oil and natural gas;
Whereas more detailed monthly information on crude oil and natural gas is now obtained via the Statistical Office of the European Communities, notably on the basis of the available customs data;
