COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1079/2009
of 10 November 2009
on fixing the closing date for the submission of applications for private storage aid for pigmeat laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008
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 43(a) and (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Private storage aid is granted pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008 of 17 December 2008 adopting emergency support measures for the pigmeat market in form of private storage aid in Ireland (2). The aid is granted due to the exceptional circumstances the pigmeat sector in Ireland experienced in December 2008 when findings revealed elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in pigmeat originating in Ireland. The situation has changed since then and consequently the measures are no longer needed.
(2)
The granting of private storage aid for pigmeat should therefore be ended and a closing date for the submission of applications should be set.
(3)
In order to avoid speculation the Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication and the closing date should be the day following the entry into force.
(4)
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
The closing date for the submission of applications for private storage aid for pigmeat provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008 shall be 13 November 2009.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Whereas Article 5 of the said Regulation lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers, the non-member country price and, if necessary, the pattern of processing costs assessed on a flat-rate basis;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the 1997/98 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 to be paid to producers for pineapples; and
(b) the production aid referred to in Article 5 of the said Regulation for tinned pineapple,
shall be as set out in the Annex.

Whereas, owing to adverse weather conditions which have delayed the preparations of seed beds, some of the particulars which must appear in the cultivation contracts cannot be known until after the deadline for the conclusion of the said contracts; whereas this is one of the cases, specified in the second subparagraph of Article 2b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70, where the Commission is authorized to take appropriate measures, and may accordingly defer the said deadline and, therefore, the deadline for registering the cultivation declarations and contracts;

Whereas, in order to clarify and simplify the Community legislation in this area, it is necessary to group together the different lists of semen collection centres approved in certain third countries, in Canada and in the United States of America and to repeal the Decisions in force;
