COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1739/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the prices applicable to cereals for the 1992/93 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas the markets and prices policy is the main instrument of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas, in many cases, surpluses can no longer be disposed of on normal terms either inside or outside the Community; whereas, in order to reduce the cost to the budget of disposing of surpluses on markets of third countries and to encourage greater consumption within the Community, the restrictive price policy should continue to be applied; whereas, this aim may be achieved by maintaining for 1992/93 the intervention prices for common wheat, durum wheat, barley, rye, maize and sorghum applied during the previous marketing year;
Whereas, as part of a quality policy, production of common wheat of higher breadmaking quality and production of rye of breadmaking quality should be supported; whereas, accordingly, the special premiums for common wheat of breadmaking quality and for rye of breadmaking quality should be continued; whereas, however, the level of these premiums should be adjusted in line with the further reduction in the intervention price provided for in Article 4b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75;
Whereas it is fitting, bearing in mind the stage reached in the integration of the market in cereals in Portugal, to do away with, as from the 1992/93 marketing year, the application of the accession compensatory amount for common wheat; whereas this objective can be attained by aligning the Portuguese intervention price on that applicable in the Community of Eleven;
Whereas this barrier may be abolished by a price alignment, compensated for by a consequent increase in aid,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the 1992/93 marketing year, the prices applicable in the cereals sector shall be as indicated in the Annex.
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 the beginning of the 1992/93 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 90/425/EEC (2), and in particular Article 3 (13) thereof,

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/82/EC
of 30 July 2008
amending Directive 2008/38/EC as regards feedingstuffs intended for the support of the renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes (1), and in particular Article 6(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Directive 2008/38/EC of 5 March 2008 establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes (2) includes as a particular nutritional purpose the ‘support of renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’.
(2)
By Regulation (EC) No 163/2008 (3), the Commission authorised the preparation lanthanum carbonate octahydrate as a zootechnical feed additive for cats. This authorisation was based on an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority of 18 September 2007 (4). In that opinion that Authority considered that supplementation of diets with that preparation results in a decrease in phosphorus excretion via urine and an increase in its excretion via faeces, linked to a decrease in apparent phosphorus digestibility. It concluded that that preparation can reduce the phosphorus absorption of adult cats.
(3)
Directive 2008/38/EC already includes feed with a low level of phosphorus in the line ‘support of renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’. The same positive effect can be obtained if the absorption of phosphorus contained in the feed is reduced. Lanthanum carbonate octahydrate should therefore be included in the line ‘Support of renal function in case of chronic renal insufficiency’ in the list of intended uses in Part B of the Annex I to Directive 2008/38/EC.
(4)
Directive 2008/38/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
The Annex I to Directive 2008/38/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 20 February 2009 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1585/95 of 30 June 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 on the rules for granting aid to skimmed milk processed into compound feedingstuffs and skimmed-milk powder intended for feed for calves
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3337/94 (4), the granting of aid for skimmed-milk powder processed into compound feedingstuffs is conditional upon the requirement that the latter contain not less than 50 kg of powder per 100 kg of the finished product;
Whereas paragraph 1a of that Article lays down, however, that the said minimum quantity shall be fixed at 35 kilograms for the period 1 February 1993 to 30 June 1995; whereas the trend on the market in skimmed-milk powder justifies maintaining this derogation until 31 December 1995;
Whereas 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
In Article 4 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79, the words 'between 1 February 1993 and 30 June 1995` are replaced by 'between 1 February 1993 and 31 December 1995`.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1995.
