COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1851/2006
of 14 December 2006
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 as regards uptake of conventional feed during periods of transhumance
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The organic production rules for livestock laid down in Annex I, part B to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, which includes feeding rules, must be applied to animals throughout their lives.
(2)
One of the basic principles in organic farming is the wide use of pasturage.
(3)
In some Member States, the use of pasturage on organic land is combined with the traditional grazing system of transhumance. When animals under transhumance are moved on foot from one pasture to another, they will pass through and graze on conventional land, both on the way in and out of the areas of transhumance and between the different transhumance grazing pastures.
(4)
There is a need to ensure that transhumance for organic livestock can continue, notwithstanding the fact that the animals will take up a certain amount of conventional roughage.
(5)
Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 the following point 4.10 is inserted:
‘4.10.
Notwithstanding point 4.13, during the period of transhumance animals may graze on conventional land when they are being moved on foot from one grazing area to another. The uptake of conventional feed, in the form of grass and other vegetation on which the animals graze, during this period shall not exceed 10 % of the total feed ration per year. This figure shall be calculated as a percentage of the dry matter of feedingstuffs from agricultural origin.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that 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.
Done at Brussels, 14 December 2006.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 363/2006
of 1 March 2006
on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector (tomatoes)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables (2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2044/2005 (3) fixes the indicative quantities for which system B export licences may be issued.
(2)
In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for tomatoes will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3)
To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for tomatoes after 2 March 2006 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(87/122/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 14(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 36 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 as regards the premium scheme, production quotas and the specific aid to be granted to producer groups in the raw tobacco sector (2) set the amounts payable to producers whose quotas were bought under the quota buy-back programme during the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 harvests.
(2)
The planned objectives of rationalising production should be pursued since producers are continuing to have difficulty in selling their production of certain groups of tobacco varieties and/or can secure only extremely low prices for those varieties.
(3)
For quotas under the 2004 harvest, the buy-back price should be fixed on the basis of the minimum level of aid which the farmer can receive under the direct payment scheme set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1152/90 fo 27 April 1990 instituting a system of aid in favour of small cotton producers (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/92 (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 2 (1), the following point (c) is added:

'5. on request from the Member State, applicants shall provide proof certifying to the satisfaction of the Member State that the conditions laid down in Article 2 (1) (c) are met.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 1994/95 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
