COMMISSION DECISION of 5 June 1996 authorizing Ireland to adjust the method for calculating the somatic cell count in cows' milk (Only the English text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (96/360/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products (1), as last amended by Directive 94/71/EC (2), and in particular Annex A, Chapter IV, A (1) and (2) thereto,
Whereas pursuant to the terms of Directive 92/46/EEC, the method for calculating the geometric average of the somatic cell count in raw milk can be adjusted when the production level varies greatly during the low lactation period;
Whereas milk production is very low in Ireland from November to February, which results in an average somatic cell count during the period that exceeds the counts fixed by Directive 92/46/EEC; whereas these excesses have a physiological basis and cannot be ascribed to a disease of the udder;
Whereas the method for calculating the results should be adjusted to take account of this seasonal variation in production in Ireland;
Whereas Ireland has proposed an alternative calculation method that weights the geometric averages of the somatic cell count during the low lactation period; whereas this method ensures the quality of the milk collected in Ireland during this time of the year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
During the period from November of one year to February of the following year, Ireland is hereby authorized to use for calculating the somatic cell count in raw cows' milk provided for in Annex A, Chapter IV, A (1) and (2) to Directive 92/46/EEC a calculation method that involves weighting each month's results by a coefficient. The coefficient is obtained by multiplying the milk production level recorded each month during the period by 50 % of the average monthly value of the milk production recorded from April to September prior to the start of the period in question.
Article 2
This Decision shall be reviewed two years following its adoption on the basis of a report presented to the Commission by the Irish authorities.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1594/91 of 12 June 1991 derogating from the Regulations opening preventive distillation for the 1982/83 to 1988/89 wine years as regards the consequences of an overrun in the time limit for payment of the minimum price by the distiller
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 38 thereof,
Whereas the Commission Regulations laying down detailed rules on preventive distillation for the 1982/83 to 1988/89 wine years provide for a time limit for the payment by the distiller of the minimum buying-in price to the wine-grower and stipulate that any overrun in that time limit entails the total loss of the distillation aid;
Whereas, for the period of application of those Regulations, the consequences of late payment of the minimum price by the distiller to the producer who has delivered wine should be made clear, taking account both of the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and of the regulations in force on the subject;
Whereas these measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1
In the event of an overrun of the time limit for the payment by the distiller of the minimum buying-in price for table wine for distillation as provided for in Article 16 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 (3) and in Article 38 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 during the 1982/83 to 1988/89 wine years, the amounts paid shall be recovered by the intervention agency.
However, for applications under examination at the date of entry into force of this Regulation, if the payment was made during the 30 days following the expiry of the time limit laid down, the intervention agency shall only demand repayment of 20 % of the aid. 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.
