THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation EEC No 1219/89 (2), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas, when the number and amount of the monthly increases and the first month during which these increases are to apply are fixed, account should be taken of the storage costs and financing charges for storing rice in the Community and of the need to ensure that the disposal of stocks of rice conforms to market requirements; whereas, it is further appropriate that this disposal should be made more regular by avoiding operators holding on the stocks; whereas, to that end, the increases should be reduced,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1 1. For the 1989/90 marketing year, the amount of each of the monthly increases provided for in Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 shall be:
- ECU 2,07 per tonne for the intervention price and for the purchase price,
- ECU 2,58 per tonne for the target price.
2. The monthly increases shall apply to the intervention price and the purchase price from 1 January to 1 July 1990, the price thus obtained for July 1990 remaining valid until 31 August 1990.
The monthly increases shall apply to the target price from 1 October 1989 to 1 July 1990, the price thus obtained for the month of July 1990 remaining valid until 31 August 1990.
Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

derogating, as regards the maximum moisture content of certain cereals offered for intervention during the 2000/01 marketing year, from Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 of 19 April 2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals(3) sets the maximum moisture content of cereals at 14,5 % and lays down reductions in the intervention price for cereals with a moisture content of more than 14 %.
(2) The 2000 harvest of some cereals was carried out in certain regions in unusual weather conditions, resulting in an above-normal moisture content, exceeding the maximum level laid down for intervention.
(3) The situation described above is likely disproportionately to reduce market prices and the Member States concerned should therefore be permitted to derogate from the moisture-content requirement for common wheat, barley and rye and extend the list of price reductions.
(4) 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
1. Notwithstanding Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, Member States are authorised to set the maximum moisture content for common wheat, barley and rye offered for intervention during the 2000/01 marketing year at 15 %. In that case, the price reductions given in the Annex hereto shall apply.
2. Member States deciding to apply the derogation provided for in paragraph 1 shall notify the Commission thereof before 1 November 2000.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Only the German text is authentic)
(2008/58/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 46(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The exceptional weather conditions during the period of ripening of the grapes in the wine-growing zone B of Austria have resulted in a significant and irreversible reduction in the acidity of the grapes and grape must. The particular weather conditions observed during the summer of 2007 in Austria are similar to those normally found in wine-growing areas located much further south.
(2)
The total level of acidity of the grapes harvested on maturity in the regions concerned is abnormally low and incompatible with good winemaking and satisfactory wine conservation.
(3)
Austria should therefore be permitted to authorise the acidification of grape must and wine from zone B for the 2007 harvest under the conditions laid down in points E.2, E.3 and E.7 of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In derogation from the rules laid down in Annex V, point E.1(a) to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, Austria may authorise the acidification of grape must and wine from the 2007 harvest in wine-growing zone B under the conditions laid down in points E.2, E.3 and E.7 of that Annex.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1239/2001(2), and in particular Article 6b(3) and Article 6c(7) thereof,

(2) The criteria for fixing the minimum price and the production aid are laid down in Article 6b and Article 6c of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, and the products for which the minimum price and the aid are fixed are listed in Articles 1 and 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1573/1999 of 19 July 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards the characteristics of dried figs qualifying for aid under the production aid scheme(5). The minimum price and the production aid should therefore be fixed for the 2001/02 marketing year.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for processed Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the 2001/02 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 6b of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 for unprocessed dried figs shall be EUR 878,86 per tonne net ex-producer's premises;
(b) the production aid referred to in Article 6c of that Regulation for dried figs shall be EUR 286,30 per tonne net.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1), in conjunction with the first sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 300(2) and the first subparagraph of Article 300(3) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) The European Environment Agency and the European environment information and observation network were established by Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90(3).
(2) The Luxembourg European Council (December 1997) made participation in the Community programmes and agencies a way of stepping up the pre-accession strategy for the central and east European countries. In the case of the agencies, the European Council's conclusions provide that "the Community agencies in which applicant countries will be able to participate will be determined on a case-by-case basis".
(3) The Helsinki European Council (December 1999) reaffirmed the inclusive nature of the accession process, which now comprises 13 candidate countries within a single framework with the candidate countries participating in the accession process on an equal footing.

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1068/2008
of 30 October 2008
approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Taureau de Camargue (PDO))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second sentence of Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) and pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined the application from France for approval of an amendment to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Taureau de Camargue’, registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2001 (2).
(2)
The purpose of the application is to amend the specification with regard to proof of origin and method of production. In order to improve traceability and to monitor and improve the designation, holdings must complete a declaration of suitability to produce the designation. With regard to the method of production, it appears that the heifers of the breed chosen for the denomination, when reared in accordance with the specification for the denomination, do not reach the weight of 100 kg, although the carcasses comply with the specification and are awarded the denomination on this basis. It appeared necessary to acknowledge that the weight of the carcasses of heifers aged between 18 and 30 months was at least 85 kg.
(3)
The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since the amendment in question is minor within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission may approve the application without following the procedure laid down in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of that Regulation.
(4)
In accordance with Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 (3) and pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, a summary of the specification should be published,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Taureau de Camargue’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Article 2
A summary of the main points of the specification is given in Annex II to this Regulation.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.
