Whereas Article 2b of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 of 25 August 1970 on the procedure granting the premium for leaf tobacco (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1186/83 (4), lays down that cultivation declarations and contracts must be concluded before 1 May and registered before 1 July of the year in which they take effect;
Whereas, owing to adverse weather conditions, some of the particulars which must appear in the cultivation contracts were not known until after the deadline for the conclusion of the said contracts; whereas this is one of the cases, specified in the second subparagraph of Article 2b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70, where the Commission is authorized to take appropriate measures, and may accordingly postpone the said deadline and, therefore, the deadline for registering the cultivation declarations and contracts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 2b (3) and the first indent of Article 2b (6) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70, cultivation declarations and contracts in respect of tobacco, taking effect in 1984, may be concluded up to 30 June 1984 and registered up to 31 July 1984.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,

Maximum levels should be set at a strict level which is achievable by following good practices and taking into account the risk related to the consumption of food.
(3)
Very high levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs have been found in canned fish liver and were reported through the Rapid Alert System for Feed and Food (RASFF) since 2006. No maximum level was established for fish liver and processed products thereof. In order to protect public health competent authorities prohibited the placing on the market of those products because they were deemed to be unsafe.
(4)
It is appropriate to establish a Community maximum level for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in fish liver and processed products thereof to protect public health and to ensure a uniform approach in the internal market.
(5)
Taking into account the specific canning process of fish liver, the maximum level established for fresh fish liver should also apply to processed fish liver.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

derogating, with regard to set-aside in Austria, from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1038/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1157/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the conditions governing area payments for certain arable crops. Article 19(2) and (3) lays down that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest and must not, except where otherwise provided for, be used for agricultural production or for any lucrative purpose.
(2) Weather conditions in recent months have been characterised by an extreme drought in certain regions of Austria which has considerably affected the supply of feed and exposed producers to serious income losses from having to sell their livestock in situations where their usual feed cannot be ensured.
(3) It is therefore desirable to find additional local feed alternatives for the month of August to feed livestock until the autumn.
(4) The situation described above justifies derogations from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 by authorising, in the regions concerned, the use of set-aside land for arable crops to feed livestock before the end of the set-aside period (on 31 August at the earliest), while providing for measures to ensure that use of the land concerned is not lucrative.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

Article 1
1. For the 2001/02 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set-aside in the regions of Austria laid down in the Annex hereto may be used for producing animal feed.
2. Austria shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land is not used for lucrative purposes and, in particular, that the products harvested from the areas concerned are excluded from the aid scheme for dried fodder laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(5).
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 23 August 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
