THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3684/83 (1), opened and allocated among the Member States a duty-free Community tariff quota for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff, the amount of which was fixed at 500 000 tonnes; whereas, by that Regulation, the benefit of the tariff quota in question was extended to certain other types of paper which, apart from the criterion of watermarks, correspond to the definition of newsprint given in the Additional Note to Chapter 48 of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product for 1984, it is estimated that the additional imports from third countries required by the Community in the short term amount to 70 000 tonnes; whereas the size of the quota should be increased by this quantity to take account of the requirements noted; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question, part of the volume of the proposed increase should be allocated to the Community reserve, the balance being allocated among the Member States on a pro rata basis according to their estimated requirements for imports originating in third countries,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3684/83 for newsprint falling within subheading 48.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff is hereby increased from 500 000 to 570 000 tonnes.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 798/85

amending Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 on the common organization of the market in wine and Regulation (EEC) No 338/79 laying down special provisions relating to quality wines produced in specified regions
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the northern parts of wine-growing zone A experienced exceptionally adverse weather in 1984; whereas these production areas have seen very high rainfall and a considerable reduction in sunshine hours; whereas, as a result, some of the wines produced have such a high level of acidity that the methods of deacidification currently permitted by Community rules are not adequate if these wines are to be converted into balanced table wines or, as the case may be, quality wines psr, matching market requirements; whereas increasing the alcoholic strength of these wines by adding sucrose in aqueous solution would help to reduce their acid taste considerably; whereas, in view of the exceptional circumstances outlined above, the period during which the addition of sucrose in aqueous solution is permitted, under Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 775/85 (5), and under Regulation (EEC) No 338/79 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2145/82 (7), should be extended by approximately one year,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (1), and in particular Article 24 thereof,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 of 30 March 2004 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 establishing a levy in the milk and milk products sector (2) fixes in particular the timetable and conditions for collection of the levy.

If this time-limit is not complied with, interest becomes payable under Article 15(2).
(2)
For the purposes of improving budget forecasting and making budget management more flexible, Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003 is currently being amended in order to defer the date by which the Member States must pay the levy referred to in Article 3(1) of the Regulation and to allow some Member States to transfer national reference quantities between direct sales and deliveries for the twelve month period 2005/06 within the meaning of Article 1(1) of the Regulation. With a view to consistency and so that the national administrations can introduce these new rules as efficiently as possible, the date by which the amounts due by milk purchasers must be paid should also be deferred for 2005/06, Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004 notwithstanding. For administrative reasons a different date should be fixed for the Member States transferring national reference quantities.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 595/2004, for the twelve month period 2005/06 the Member States shall be authorised to defer the final date for paying the due amounts:
