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,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 (2) fixes the premium for maintaining suckler cows at ECU 40 per cow;
Whereas the effects on the beef and veal sector of the fall in the prices at which meat breeds of cattle are marketed have been lasting; whereas this economic fact inevitably affects the income level of stockfarmers using suckler cows;
Whereas the result is serious economic consequences for those producers and, in particular, for the viability of their holdings; whereas, in view of the advantages of rearing calves using suckler cows for production of both beef and veal and milk products, in order to solve the problems encountered, the premium for maintaining suckler cows and the additional national premium should be increased; whereas that increase should be reflected in the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) to the additional premium for certain Member States;
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 3605/91 (3) the premium for maintaining suckler cows has been raised from ECU 40 to 50 per suckler cow for applications for the grant of the premium lodged in 1991/92;
Whereas, taking into account the situation on the beef and veal market the premium should be kept at ECU 50 for applications lodged in 1992/93,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80, for applications for the suckler cow premium lodged in 1992/93:

2. the additional national premium provided for in the first subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 shall be ECU 35 per eligible cow. In cases where the additional premium is granted by a Member State referred to in the second subparagraph of the said Article 3 (2), the first ECU 28 per cow shall be financed by the EAGGF, Guarantee Section.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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 11 November 2009
amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Chile, Colombia and Japan
(notified under document C(2009) 8590)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/830/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. For that purpose, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof (countries or regions) is to be determined by classification into one of three categories depending on the BSE risk involved, namely a negligible BSE risk, a controlled BSE risk and an undetermined BSE risk.
(2)
The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE risk status.
(3)
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) plays a leading role in the categorisation of countries or regions according to their BSE risk. The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC takes account of Resolution No XXI - Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Status of Members - adopted by the OIE in May 2008 regarding the BSE status of Member States and third countries.
(4)
Decision 2007/453/EC currently lists Finland and Sweden as having a negligible BSE risk and all other Member States as having a controlled BSE risk. It also lists the BSE status of third countries. In May 2009, the OIE adopted Resolution No XXII - Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Members. That Resolution recognised Chile as having a negligible BSE risk and Colombia and Japan as having a controlled BSE risk. The list in Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to be brought into line with that Resolution as regards those three third countries. However, pending a final conclusion of the OIE on the BSE risk status of all Member States and taking into account the harmonised stringent BSE protective measures applied within the Community, no changes should at present be made as regards the recognised BSE status of the Member States.
(5)
Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2634/97 (2), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2271/95 (3) provides for the sale at fixed prices of intervention stocks held by various Member States; whereas the products and prices stated in that Regulation should be amended to take account of the availability of intervention stocks;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
