THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Although Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 was repealed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 of 29 October 2004 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 as regards the support schemes provided for in Titles IV and IVa of that Regulation and the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials (3) with effect from 1 January 2006, it continues to apply to the 2005 harvest by virtue of Article 172(3b) of Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004.
(2)
As a result of especially difficult weather conditions in Greece, in particular much higher rainfall and lower temperatures than the seasonal averages, tobacco preparation and delivery operations have been greatly delayed.

The deadlines for the delivery of raw tobacco to first processors in Greece should therefore be extended.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1686/84

Whereas liquid or concentrated whey was for several years imported from Austria under inward processing arrangements with a view to being processed into derived products (in particular powdered lactose and whey), which were then re-exported to Austria or other non-member countries; whereas the use of inward processing arrangements in respect of whey is unlikely to pose a threat to the disposal of products of Community origin; whereas that product should no longer be covered by the exclusion from inward processing arrangements,
