Commission Regulation (EC) No 636/2003
of 8 April 2003
determining the percentage of quantities covered by applications for export licences for poultrymeat which may be accepted
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 of 16 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the poultrymeat sector(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1383/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 provides for specific measures where applications for export licences concern quantities and/or expenditure which exceed the normal trade patterns or where there is a risk that they will be exceeded, taking account of the limit referred to in Article 8(11) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2916/95(4), and/or the corresponding expenditure during the period in question.
(2) Uncertainty is a feature of the market in certain poultrymeat products. The impending adjustment of the refunds applicable to those products has led to the submission of applications for export licences for speculative ends. There is a risk that the issue of licences for the quantities applied for from 31 March to 4 April and 7 to 8 April 2003 may lead to an overrun in the quantities of the products concerned normally disposed of by way of trade. Applications covering the products concerned in respect of which export licences have not yet been granted should be rejected,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
No further action shall be taken in respect of applications submitted for export licences for poultrymeat of 31 March to 4 April and 7 and 8 April 2003 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 in respect of category three of Annex I to that Regulation which should have been issued from 9 April and from 16 April 2003 respectively.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 April 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2055/2005
of 15 December 2005
fixing the export refunds on cereals and on wheat or rye flour, groats and meal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2).
(3)
As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4)
The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5)
The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6)
It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7)
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
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, excluding malt, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 December 2005.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1451/96 of 23 July 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 2990/95 regulating compensation for appreciable reductions in the agricultural conversion rates before 1 July 1996
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2990/95 (2) lays down special rules applicable until 30 June 1996 to currencies which experience during that period an appreciable reduction in their agricultural conversion rates and in particular to the Finnish markka and the Swedish krona; whereas the risk of an appreciable reduction has again arisen in the case of the Swedish krona since monetary gaps of more than 5 % have occurred for that currency; whereas this situation could lead to an appreciable reduction in an agricultural conversion rate after the period referred to in the said Regulation;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides for the Council to take all necessary measures in the event of an appreciable revaluation, which, primarily to comply with obligations under the GATT Agreement and budgetary discipline, may involve derogations from the provisions of the said Regulation concerning aid and the amount by which the monetary gaps are dismantled, without, however, resulting in the threshold being extended; whereas the measures provided for in Articles 7 and 8 of the said Regulation cannot be applied as they stand; whereas it is necessary to take steps at Community level to prevent distortions of monetary origin affecting the implementation of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas on the basis of the information currently available, it is impossible to know what the situation will be after 31 December 1996; whereas application of the rules and amounts laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2990/95 would be justified in similar cases until that time,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 2990/95 is hereby amended as follows:
(a) in the title the date '1 July 1996` shall be replaced by '1 January 1997`;
(b) in Article 1, the date '30 June 1996` shall be replaced by '31 December 1996`.
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 1 July 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
