COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1073/2006
of 13 July 2006
fixing the export refunds on white and raw sugar exported without further processing
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3)
The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4)
Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(5)
The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For those two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2064/93 of 27 July 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1328/93 laying down detailed rules for granting a special refund for exports of pigmeat sector products to certain third countries
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 organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 15 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1328/93 (3), fixed a deadline for the acceptance of applications lodged by operators with national competent authorities; whereas initial experience has shown that this deadline is too short and does not allow operators to assure that their operations are carried out successfully; whereas it is therefore appropriate to extend the deadline without, however putting in question the objective to book the expenditure under the 1993 budget year;
Whereas the measures provided for in the present Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1328/93 the date of '15 July 1993' shall be replaced by '1 October 1993'.

It shall apply from 15 July 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 27 July 1993.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 80/1095/EEC of 11 November 1980 laying down conditions designed to render and keep the territory of the Community free from classical swine fever (1), as last amended by Directive 87/487/EEC (2), and in particular
Articles 2, second subparagraph, 3 (2) and 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas by Decision 87/478/EEC (3) the Commission has approved the plan for the accelerated eradication of classical swine fever presented by Portugal;
Whereas Portugal at this moment complies with the criteria laid down in Articles 7 (1) and (2) point 2 of Directive 80/1095/EEC for being recognized as an officially swine fever free Member State within the context of eradication; in fact, no swine fever has been detected and vaccination against swine fever has been stopped for more than 12 months on the territory of Portugal and the holdings on the territory of Portugal contain no pigs which have been vaccinated against swine fever in the preceeding 12 months;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1821/80 of 24 June 1980 on the development of sheep farming in Greenland (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3097/94 of 12 December 1994 setting for the 1994/95 marketing year the percentages referred to in Article 3 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 in connection with the premium granted for products processed from tomatoes
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in order to encourage the conclusion of contracts between groups of tomato producers on the one hand and associations of processors or processors on the other, Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the grant on certain terms of an additional premium;
Whereas the 'significant specific percentage' for the total quantity of processed tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with producers' groups must be set for the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas, in view of the important role played by tomato producers' groups in the producer Member States, it is desirable to maintain at the same level as for the 1993/94 marketing year the percentage of the quantities of tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with producers' associations in relation to the total quantity of processed tomatoes; whereas, however, the question of the expediency of the measure and whether or not to pursue it will need to be examined in the context of the reform of the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the 1994/95 marketing year, the percentage mentioned in Article 3 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 shall be 80 %.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2990/78 of 18 December 1978 amending Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 227 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 of 14 March 1977 establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple (3) makes the granting of the aid to processors in particular conditional upon payment of at least a minimum price to the producers;
Whereas, owing to the special circumstances under which pineapples are harvested, the processing of the product extends over a comparatively long period ; whereas the need to wait for the granting of the production aid causes financial difficulties for the processors, who are required to pay a minimum price to the producers of fresh pineapples ; whereas, in order to facilitate the processing of pineapples harvested in the Community, it should be made possible to pay an advance on the aid before payment to producers of the minimum price ; whereas the proper operation of this system requires that the payment of these advances should be subject to the lodging of a security in order to ensure compliance with the conditions governing the granting of the aid,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77:
"However, advances against the aid may be paid on submission of a written contract - more particularly in the form of a supply commitment - between the producer of fresh pineapples and the processor, provided that the latter lodges a security in order to ensure compliance with the first subparagraph."
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 DECISION
of 26 August 2004
concerning a request from the Republic of Malta to apply a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity
(notified under document number C(2004) 3240)
(2004/673/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), as last amended by Directive 2004/66/EC (2), and in particular Article 12(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
By letter registered at the Commission on 18 June 2004 the Republic of Malta informed the Commission of its intention of applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity.
(2)
The planned measure is a general one applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity under Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth VAT Directive.
(3)
Since Malta’s electricity system is small and isolated, there is no risk of distorting competition on the internal market. At present Malta does not use natural gas because it has no gas network or connection.
(4)
Moreover, the VAT rules regarding the place of supply of electricity, as laid down in the Sixth VAT Directive, were amended by Directive 2003/92/EC (3). The supply of electricity in the final stage, from traders and distributors to final consumer, is taxed at the place where the customer has effective use and consumption of the goods, in order to ensure that taxation takes place in the country where actual consumption takes place.
(5)
Since the measure is a general one with no provision for exceptions, the risk of distortion of competition must be deemed non-existent. Since the condition laid down by Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth Directive is thus fulfilled, Malta should be able to apply the measure concerned as soon as this Decision is notified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Malta may apply the measure notified in its letter of 18 June 2004, applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity irrespective of the conditions of production and supply.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Malta.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 747/2007
of 28 June 2007
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
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 within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3)
That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4)
Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5)
The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6)
The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 June 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 28 June 2007.

(1)
Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 provides that a standard fee shall be paid by the Commission to the Member States for each duly completed farm return forwarded to it within the period prescribed in Article 3 of that Regulation.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 134/2004 (3) fixed the amount of the standard fee for the 2004 accounting year at EUR 140 per farm return. The trend in costs and its effects on the cost of completing the farm return justify a revision of the fee.
(3)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The standard fee provided for in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 shall be fixed at EUR 142.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
