COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1884/94 of 24 July 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 reform of the common agricultural policy has, inter alia, included a restructuring of the system of special premium for male bovine animals, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3);
Whereas the determination, on the basis of the best year from among the years 1990, 1991 and 1992, of the regional ceilings referred to in Article 4b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 has led in certain parts of the Community to figures which are very much higher than the situation in existence at the time of reform; whereas the application, in the coming years, of excessively high regional ceilings risks jeopardizing achieving control of the production which was one of the main objectives of reform; whereas it is accordingly necessary to limit the regional ceilings, in particular on the basis of the situation regarding production of beef and veal and the way in which they have evolved in recent years;
Whereas the particular regional ceiling laid down for the territory of the new German Laender should also be adjusted in line with the change in the total ceiling allocated to Germany; whereas, as at present, the application of that particular ceiling will remain restricted to the new Laender,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 4b (3), point (b) of that third subparagraph shall be replaced by the following:
'(b) "regional ceiling": the number of animals entitled to benefit, in a region and per calendar year, from the special premium; the total number of animals included in the regional ceilings of each of the Member States is limited to:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 298/93 of 10 February 1993 concerning the release of securities lodged in respect of applications for private storage aid and concerning the granting of such aid pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, on account of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease in a production region in the Netherlands, exceptional measures to support the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3460/92 (4);
Whereas it proved necessary to increase the amounts of aid introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 to ensure the effectiveness of the measure through a large participation on the part of producers and operators by adopting Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3252/92 (5);
Whereas a very small number of operators found themselves unable to fulfil their contractual obligations in view of the unwillingness of producers to sell pigs coming from the area directly affected, during the period concerned, given the possibility of a lifting of the restrictive measures introduced by Commission Decision 92/478/EEC (6);
Whereas the rules normally applicable in this situation, as laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for pigmeat (7), should not ber applied in order to avoid a disproportionate penalization of operators in the light of the very exceptional circumstances referred to above;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Securities lodged in respect of applications for private storage aid pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 with a view to the conclusion of private storage contracts for which the primary requirements under the terms of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 have not been met, shall be released for quantities not actually stored.
Article 2
Notwithstanding Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90, if the quantity actually stored during the contractual storage period is less than the contractual quantity, the aid shall be paid in respect of the quantity actually stored.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 927/2007
of 2 August 2007
on a transitional measure relating to the treatment of the by-products of winemaking provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for the 2007/08 wine year in Romania
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 27(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), any natural or legal person, or group of persons having made wine is required to deliver for distillation all the by-products of that winemaking. Since the accession of Romania to the Community on 1 January 2007, that requirement also applies to wine producers in that Member State although the practice is not traditional in Romania.
(2)
Compliance with this requirement presumes that there are distilleries ready to carry out distillation with the support of Community financial assistance. While such distilleries have developed in those Member States of the Community as constituted at 31 December 2006, in which this requirement has existed for several years, as yet no such industrial infrastructure for distillation exists in Romania.
(3)
The alternative way of dealing with by-products is to withdraw them under supervision, as practised in several Member States.
(4)
Given that distillation cannot be carried out at present for practical reasons, Romanian producers should be exempted from the distillation requirement for a specific period, and that requirement should be replaced by a requirement to withdraw the by-products under supervision in accordance with the conditions laid down in Articles 50 and 51 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2).
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By derogation from Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, for the 2007/08 wine year natural or legal persons or groups of persons having processed grapes harvested in Romania shall withdraw the by-products of such processing under supervision and in accordance with the conditions laid down in Articles 50 and 51 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1498/98(2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.
(2) In compliance with the above criteria, the standard import values must be fixed at the levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation,

Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 September 2001.
