COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1749/95 of 18 July 1995 fixing an export tax in relation to products falling within CN codes 1001 10 00 and 1103 11 10

Whereas Article 16 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that where quotations or prices on the world market for certain products reaches the level of Community prices and such situation is likely to continue and deteriorate thereby disturbing or threatening to disturb the Community market, appropriate measures may be taken; whereas Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 (3) provides that where such conditions are met, an export tax may be fixed and may vary according to destination;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1796/2000
of 22 August 2000
derogating, with regard to set-aside in Sweden, from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1672/2000(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1454/2000(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the conditions governing area payments for certain arable crops. Article 19(2) and (3) lays down that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest and must not, except where otherwise provided for, be used for agricultural production or for any lucrative purpose.
(2) Weather conditions over the past 12 months have been characterised by drought in certain regions of the Union, during autumn and winter in particular, and by excessive rainfall in other regions of the Union, during spring and summer in particular. This situation has already led the Commission to lay down a number of derogations in favour of Spain, Germany and Austria in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1332/2000(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1595/2000(6).
(3) In Sweden, too, excessive rainfall has flooded pastureland which can no longer be used to feed livestock. It is therefore desirable to find additional local feed alternatives for the month of August to feed livestock until the autumn.
(4) The situation described above justifies derogations from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 by authorising the use of set-aside land for arable crops to feed livestock before the end of the set-aside period (on 31 August at the earliest), while providing for measures to ensure that use of the land concerned is not lucrative.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. For the 2000/01 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside in the regions of Sweden laid down in the Annex hereto may be used for producing animal feed.
2. Sweden shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land is not used for lucrative purposes and, in particular, that the products harvested from the areas concerned are excluded from the aid scheme for dried fodder laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(7).
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 10 August 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available for the reference exchange referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

Commission Decision
of 25 September 2001
authorising the placing on the market of trehalose as a novel food or novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2001) 2687)
(2001/721/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients(1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to the request by Bioresco Ltd, Switzerland on behalf of Hayashibara Co. Ltd, Japan to the competent authorities of United Kingdom of 25 May 2000 for placing trehalose on the market as a novel food or novel food ingredient,
Having regard to the initial assessment report drawn up by the competent authorities of the United Kingdom.
Whereas:
(1) While trehalose extracted from yeast was approved for use in foods (except for infant formulae and follow-on formulae) in 1991 in the United Kingdom, it still has to be considered as novel because significant amounts of trehalose have not been marketed subsequently in the United Kingdom or other Member States.
(2) In their initial assessment report the United Kingdom's competent food assessment body came to the conclusion that the trehalose as specified by JECFA at its 55th meeting is safe for human consumption within the range of foodstuffs detailed by the company.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 16 October 2000.
(4) Within the 60 day-period laid down in Article 6(4) of the Regulation, reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were nevertheless raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) At a meeting on 12 March 2001 Bioresco provided additional information responding to the comments and objections raised by Member States.
(6) On the basis of this additional information and the initial assessment report, it is established that trehalose complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of the Regulation.
(7) The use of trehalose in foods for particular uses is governed by specific requirements in Community law.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Trehalose as specified in the Annex, may be placed on the market in the Community as novel food or novel food ingredient for use in foodstuffs.
Article 2
The designation "trehalose" shall be displayed on the labelling of the product as such or in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs containing it.
In a prominently displayed footnote related to the designation trehalose by means of an asterisk (*) the words "trehalose is a source of glucose" shall be displayed. The words shall have a typeface of at least the same size as the list of ingredients itself.

This Decision is addressed to Bioresco Ltd Bundesstraße 29, CH-4054 Basel.
