COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 477/84
of 21 February 1984
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Principe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé and Principe
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),
Whereas it is in the Community's interest to approve the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Principe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé and Principe, signed in Brussels on 1 February 1984,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Principe on fishing off the coast of São Tomé and Principe is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is annexed to this Regulation.
Article 2
The President of the Council shall give the notification provided for in Article 13 of the Agreement (3).
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 740/2009
of 12 August 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 as regards export refunds for milk and milk products
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 Articles 170 and 171, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 of 17 August 2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products (2) fixes a minimum free-at-frontier price for cheeses in order to benefit from an export refund.
(2)
This price is fixed at a level to ensure that the cheese for which an export refund is claimed is a quality cheese as opposed to a degraded cheese, cheese waste or cheese rind so that the refund arrangements can achieve their full economic impact. The unfavourable market circumstances since the autumn of 2008 have resulted in a continuous and sharp decrease of the cheese prices on the internal market to such an extent that the current minimum free-at-frontier price is no more reflecting the threshold in respect of its objective. The cheese market and the prices are likely to stay weak and volatile for a long period, which makes the fixing of an appropriate threshold price extremely difficult. The abolition of the minimum price criterion will reduce significantly the administrative burden for traders and competent authorities. The market evolution for cheeses as well as the exports with refunds should be properly monitored in order to reveal any abuse of the minimum price requirement abolition.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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
Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 is deleted.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to export licence applications lodged from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 12 August 2009.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2246/97 of 10 November 1997 amending, for the third time, Regulation (EC) No 391/97 laying down, for 1997, certain measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources applicable to vessels flying the flag of Norway
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 391/97 (2) allocates, for 1997, certain catch quotas to Norway in Community waters;
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Articles 2 and 7 of the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (3), new consultations were held in order to adjust the total allowable catch (TAC) for plaice in ICES division IV once again;
Whereas these consultations led to an agreement to set the TAC for plaice at 91 000 tonnes for 1997 and, inter alia, to adjust the corresponding Norwegian catch quota to 3 870 tonnes;
Whereas these catch levels are fully consistent with new scientific advice which became available in May 1997;
Whereas it is now necessary to implement these agreed measures and, inasmuch as the Norwegian catch quota for plaice is concerned, to amend Regulation (EC) No 391/97 accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 391/97, the entry dealing with plaice shall be replaced by that given in the Annex to this Regulation.
