COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 December 1984
authorizing the Italian Republic to extend intra-Community surveillance in respect of imports of bananas originating in certain third countries and put into free circulation in the other Member States
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(85/100/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 115 thereof,
Whereas the Commission, by Decision 84/22/EEC (1), authorized the Italian Republic to introduce until 31 December 1984 intra-Community surveillance in respect of imports of bananas falling within subheading 08.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in certain third countries other than ACP States (2), and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas on 5 December 1984 the Italian Government submitted a request to the Commission for authorization to maintain such surveillance until 31 December 1985;
Whereas the Italian Government points out that the circumstances which led the Commission to adopt Decision 84/22/EEC persist, namely: the need to ensure the effectiveness of the commercial policy measures which the Italian Republic has to implement in respect of imports of bananas originating in certain third countries other than ACP States in order to fulfill the requirements of Protocol 4 to the Lomé Convention;
Whereas, nevertheless, taking into account the data already supplied to the Commission, some additional information is required regarding access and advantages on the Italian market for exports of bananas originating in ACP States, particularly Somalia, which is a traditional supplier of that market; whereas, with regard to Somalia in particular, information should be made available on its production capacity and its export forecasts, as well as the effect of imports in free circulation on its exports;
Whereas, in these circumstances, authorization should be given to the Italian Republic to extend the intra-Community surveillance of imports of the products in question until 30 June 1985, without prejudice to a review of the situation in the light of the conclusions to be drawn from the information requested from the Italian Government,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The period of validity of Decision 84/22/EEC is hereby extended to 30 June 1985 without prejudice to a review of the situation.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1044/2009
of 4 November 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2009/2010 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
According to Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.
(2)
Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences, are laid down by 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). However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.
(3)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 (3) has fixed the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar at 650 000 tonnes in respect of marketing year 2009/2010. However, according to the most recent forecasts issued at the beginning of the 2009/2010 sugar beet harvest it is certain that due to exceptionally favourable weather conditions a very important amount of out-of-quota beet sugar would be produced in the Community. The amount of out-of-quota sugar to be produced in 2009/2010 is initially estimated at around 3-4 million tonnes, which would lead to serious storage problems and provoking large quantity of sugar to be carried forward as quota sugar for marketing year 2010/2011. It is therefore necessary to increase the quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar exports to 1 350 000 t in respect of marketing year 2009/2010.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 274/2009, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
‘1. For the 2009/2010 marketing year, running from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be 1 350 000 tonnes for exports without refund of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99.’
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.
