Commission Regulation (EC) No 1579/2000
of 19 July 2000
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 laying down detailed rules for the grant of aid for certain grain legumes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 of 30 July 1996 on a specific measure for certain grain legumes(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 811/2000(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1644/96(3) lays down detailed rules for the grant of aid for certain grain legumes. Article 1(a) thereof provides that eligible areas must have been completely sown and harvested and maintained in normal growing conditions.
(2) The exceptional weather conditions which have affected certain regions of Spain, with a severe drought between autumn 1999 and spring 2000, have not allowed crops to develop normally and produce a significant quantity of seeds, leading to anticipated yields being much lower than normal, making the harvest operation commercially unprofitable. If that operation is not carried out, the producers concerned lose their entitlement to aid per hectare as a result of failure to meet the requirement to harvest.
(3) The situation described above justifies a derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 as regards the requirement to harvest.
(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
For the 2000/01 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1644/96, in the regions of Spain in the Autonomous Communities of:
- Aragon,
- Castilla-La Mancha,
- Murcia,
- Valencia,
- Islas Baleares
areas sown with grain legumes not harvested shall remain eligible for the aid provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provided that:
- the areas in question remain free from any other crop up to the normal harvest period for grain legumes;
- all the other conditions referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 are met.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 June 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 19 July 2000.
COMMISSION DECISION of 24 August 1994 on the extension to non-members of certain rules adopted by two associations of producers' organizations in the fishery and aquaculture products sector (Only the French text is authentic) (94/618/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas the French authorities notified the Commission on 28 July 1994 of their intention to extend to non-members the rules adopted by two associations of producers' organizations in the area for which they are representative;
Whereas the entire production of French longfinned tuna vessels is marketed through port-based producers' organizations of which they are members and which themselves belong to one or other national association; whereas these associations are therefore representative in the areas and as regards the species concerned;
Whereas the withdrawal prices which are the subject of the request for extension of the rules abide by the Community withdrawal prices and are already applied by the producers' organizations concerned; whereas the members of other producer organizations are obliged, pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3902/92 of 23 December 1992 setting detailed rules for granting financial compensation on certain fishery products (3), to apply a withdrawal price which is at least equal to that applied by the recognized producers' organizations in the landing area; whereas, in order to prevent excessive forced withdrawals, other producers who are not members of a producers' organization and who land fish in the area in question should be obliged to apply the same prices;
Whereas the rules notified are in accordance with Community law and in particular with the basic Regulation and with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3190/82 of 29 November 1982 laying down detailed rules for the extension of certain rules adopted by producers' organizations in the fisheries sector to non-members (4); whereas the rules now notified may therefore be extended as proposed,

Article 1
The detailed rules for the cotton production aid that are in force in Spain for the 1985/86 marketing year, having been determined by Royal Decree No 491/85, shall remain applicable from 1 March to 31 August 1986.
