COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3917/91 of 19 December 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas during the negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) on the introduction of the harmonized system, customs duties on the import of certain inedible animal and vegetable fats and oils were increased;
Whereas this increase in customs duties is proving disadvantageous to economic operators; whereas it is therefore expedient to apply the customs duties which applied prior to the negotiations;
Whereas the balance of concessions and obligations under the GATT should not, however, be called into question;
Whereas the autonomous customs duties applied to these products should be amended; whereas, therefore, Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 (1) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas it is desirable to cancel the harmful effects on economic operators; whereas provision should therefore be made for retroactivity of the amendment of the customs duties to 1 January 1988, the date on which the harmonized system entered into force,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The combined nomenclature attached to Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex hereto.
2. The amendments to combined nomenclature subheadings provided for in this Regulation shall be applied as subdivisions of the integrated tariff of the European Communities (Taric) until their insertion in the combined nomenclature under the conditions laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2001/707/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 7 November 1997, by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3), the Commission announced the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding in respect of imports of hardboard originating, inter alia, in Latvia.
(2) The proceeding resulted in anti-dumping duties being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 194/1999(4) in January 1999 in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(3) In parallel, by Decision 1999/71/EC(5), the Commission also accepted an undertaking from, inter alia, one Latvian company (AS "Bolderâja", TARIC additional code 8499 ), and imports of hardboard originating in Latvia exported to the Community by this company were exempted from the anti-dumping duty by Article 2(1) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 194/1999.
B. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF AN UNDERTAKING
(4) Following changes in its trading activities, AS "Bolderâja" advised the Commission that it wished to withdraw its undertaking. Accordingly, the name of this company should be deleted as soon as possible from the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in Article 1(1) of Decision 1999/71/EC.
C. AMENDMENT OF DECISION 1999/71/EC
(5) In view of the above, the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in Decision 1999/71/EC should be amended accordingly.
(6) The Advisory Committee has been consulted on the above change and has raised no objections,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Article 1(1) of Decision 1999/71/EC is replaced by the following: "1.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1250/78 of 12 June 1978 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 as regards the additional amount of aid payable for skimmed-milk powder denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs in the territory of another Member State
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1038/78 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas Article 8 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 of 2 July 1976 concerning special arrangements for the payment of aid for skimmed-milk powder denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs in the territory of another Member State (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2724/77 (4), provides that in cases where the amount of aid, expressed in the currency of the Member State of destination, applicable on the day when denaturing or processing into compound feedingstuffs of the skimmed milk takes place is higher than that applicable on the day of export, an amount corresponding to this increase shall be paid by the Member State of destination to the importer on production of evidence that the processing or denaturing took place after the date of application of the new rate of aid;
Whereas in practice the importer does not always himself process the skimmed-milk powder into compound feedingstuffs ; whereas it is economically justified for the supplementary amount to be paid to the person processing the skimmed-milk powder ; whereas it is consequently necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the first sentence of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76, the term "importer" is hereby amended to read "person processing the skimmed-milk powder".

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1365/2002
of 26 July 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 as regards the forecast supply balances for the French overseas departments for the cereal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the French overseas departments, amending Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom)(1), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part 1 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 of 28 December 2001 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the outermost regions under Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1291/2002(3), lays down the forecast supply balances and fixes the Community aid for cereals and cereal products for the French overseas departments in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001.
(2) In the case of common wheat, the forecast supply balance provides for an annual quantity of 40000 tonnes for Guadeloupe and 2000 tonnes for Martinique. The current level of implementation of the specific supply arrangement indicates that the quantities set for Martinique are below the requirements of this region. The quantities set for Guadeloupe are at present sufficient to meet that region's requirements.
(3) Thus, by letter dated 13 June 2002, the French authorities submitted a request for a transfer of 10000 tonnes from the balance for Guadeloupe to the balance for Martinique in order to meet the legitimate supply needs of the latter.
(4) As a result, the distribution of the quantities of common wheat originally laid down in the supply balances for these two islands should be amended and the requested transfer carried out.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) 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
Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 175/2007
of 22 February 2007
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported without further processing

(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.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
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 subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
