Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 675/88 (3) laid down detailed rules for the implementation of production aid for certain varieties of rice;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the scheme operates efficiently, monitoring arrangements should be laid down to guarantee that aid is granted only for the areas and products eligible; whereas the loss of an applicant's right to aid for all the areas contained in a false declaration is an excessive penalty; whereas, therefore, Regulation (EEC) No 675/88 should be amended;

Council Regulation (EC) No 2326/2003
of 19 December 2003
fixing for the fishing year 2004 the guide prices and Community producer prices for certain fishery products pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 18(3) and Article 26(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18(1) and Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provide that a guide price and a Community producer price should be fixed for each fishing year in order to determine price levels for intervention on the market for certain fisheries products.
(2) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the guide price to be fixed for each of the products and groups of products listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation.
(3) On the basis of the data currently available on the prices for the products concerned and the criteria referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the guide prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the fishing year 2004 depending on the species.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the Community producer price to be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation. It is, however, sufficient to establish the Community producer price for only one of the products listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, since the prices for the other products may be calculated by means of the conversion factors established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3510/82(2).
(5) On the basis of the criteria laid down in the first and second indent of Article 18(2) and in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the Community producer price for the 2004 fishing year should be increased.
(6) Given the urgency of the matter, it is important to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph 1(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the fishing year 1 January to 31 December 2004, the guide prices as provided for in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in the Annex I to this Regulation.
Article 2
For the fishing year 1 January to 31 December 2004, the Community producer prices as provided for in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 250/93 of 4 February 1993 derogating, for the 1993/94 marketing year, from Regulation (EEC) No 1558/91 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables as regards the time limit for the conclusion of preliminary contracts
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1558/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2008/92 (4), provides, in respect of tomatoes, for a preliminary contract between the producer and the processor, to be concluded by 16 February at the latest; whereas, given that a Commission proposal to introduce a limit on the granting of production aid for products processed from tomatoes as from the 1993/94 marketing year is currently before the Council, it is appropriate to await the Council's decision and to defer, therefore, by one month and a half, in respect of the marketing year in question, the time limits for the conclusion of preliminary contracts between producers and processors and for forwarding them to the national organization concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

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.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 19 June 1978
concerning the conclusion of the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes
(78/923/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’) has been drawn up within the Council of Europe with the aim of protecting animals kept for farming purposes, particularly in modern intensive production systems;
Whereas Council Directive 70/373/EEC of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (3), as last amended by Directive 76/372/EEC (4), Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feeding-stuffs (5), as last amended by Directive 78/117/EEC (6) and Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs (7), as last amended by Directive 76/934/EEC (8), have introduced common rules which may be affected by the Convention, and especially by the implementation of certain of its provisions;
Whereas other provisions of the Convention cover areas for which the Community has not yet introduced common rules;
Whereas the protection of animals is not in itself one of the objectives of the Community; whereas, however, there are disparities between existing national laws on the protection of animals kept for farming purposes which may give rise to unequal conditions of competition and which may consequently have an indirect effect on the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas, moreover, the Convention deals with matters which are covered by the common agricultural policy;
Whereas it would therefore seem that Community participation in the Convention is necessary for the attainment of the objectives of the Community;
Whereas stock-farming in Greenland is carried on in conditions which are fundamentally different from those obtaining in the other regions of the Community on account of the general circumstances and in particular the climate, the low density of population and the exceptional size of the island; whereas, therefore, the Convention should not apply to Greenland,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
The European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
The text of the Convention is annexed to this Decision.
Article 2
The President of the Council shall deposit the instrument of approval in accordance with Article 14 of the Convention (9).
When depositing the instrument of approval, the President of the Council shall, in accordance with Article 16 of the Convention, state that the Convention will not apply to Greenland.
