COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 February 1986
approving a programme for the fishery sector submitted by the Netherlands pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77
(Only the Dutch text is authentic)
(86/78/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2) and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas the Government of the Netherlands forwarded on 24 April 1985 a programme for the fishery products sector and subsequently forwarded further information on the programme, most recently on 14 October 1985;
Whereas the said programme is for the improvement, modernization and renovation of facilities for processing and marketing herring and other fishery products, thereby increasing the value added, by sophisticated production technologies; whereas the programme envisages investment in the sector of crustaceans and molluscs aimed at improving the quality of the final product; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the programme includes the information referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 to show that the objectives specified in Article 1 of that Regulation can be achieved;
Whereas the duration of the programme submitted covers the period 1985 to 1990;
Whereas the programme for the processing and marketing of fishery products should take into consideration the results of restructuring, modernizing and developing the fishing industry and aquaculture; whereas the structural measures with regard to the fishing industry and to aquaculture (3) run until the end of 1986; whereas it therefore seems necessary to reconsider the above programme in the light of the further structural policy for the fishing industry and for aquaculture;
Whereas it therefore seems advisable to adopt the programme only with regard to that part which covers 1985 and 1986;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures and that of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:
(1) Establishments in third countries may only be authorised to export fresh meat to the Community if they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC.
(2) Following a Community mission, it appears that the animal health situation in Estonia compares favourably with that in the Member States, particularly as regards disease transmission through meat, and that the operation of controls over the production of fresh meat is satisfactory.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 and the second paragraph of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas exceptional measures to support the market in pigmeat were adopted for the Netherlands by Commission Regulation (EC) No 413/97 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 580/97 (4), in response to the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in that country;
Whereas the swift and effective implementation of the exceptional support measures has come up against problems of capacity in the rendering plants which are to process the live pigs; whereas it should accordingly be made possible to store the slaughtered pigs in cold stores and the conditions of surveillance and inspection to be met during such operations should be specified;
Whereas problems of capacity in rendering plants have led to a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and, as a consequence, to intolerable conditions of animal welfare; whereas the application of this Regulation from 27 March 1997 is therefore warranted;
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
Regulation (EC) No 413/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 3 is replaced by the following:

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 653/94, the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia and the territory of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should benefit from preferential tariff arrangements, in particular where subject to tariff ceilings; whereas Article 1 (4) provides that once the ceilings are reached the Commission may adopt a regulation to re-establish the levying of customs duties actually applied vis-à-vis third countries until the end of the calendar year;
Whereas imports of the products specified in the Annex to this Regulation originating in the said Republics and eligible for tariff preferences have been charged against the ceiling up to the total amount; whereas the situation on the Community market for these products requires the re-establishment of customs duties vis-à-vis the Republics in question;
Whereas the levying of customs duties for these products should therefore be re-established,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
From 17 December 1994, the levying of customs duties suspended for 1994 by Regulation (EC) No 653/94 shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the products shown in the Annex, originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

As a result of this it is also necessary to adapt Annexes I and Ia to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1685/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2739/1999(5), which groups the codes in product categories and groups.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 authorizes the Commission to adopt the measures required to facilitate the switch-over from the arrangements existing before implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round negotiations to those resulting from the adjustments to agricultural legislation provided for in the abovementioned Regulation; whereas such measures may only be adopted up to 30 June 1996 and may not apply beyond that date; whereas it transpires that certain matters which are currently regulated by transitional measures cannot be settled definitively before the above date; whereas these matters concern in particular certain arrangements entered into with third countries; whereas it is therefore necessary to extend by one year the period during which the Commission may adopt transitional measures,
