of 4 December 2001
establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1498/98(2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:

(2) In compliance with the above criteria, the standard import values must be fixed at the levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2142/2001
of 31 October 2001
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 38,791/100 kg net.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(3)

(4)
For the sake of avoiding that the name of the authority mentioned on the certificates of authenticity recently issued does not correspond with the name of the authority listed in Regulation (EC) No 1189/2008, the amendment to the latter Regulation should apply as from 15 June 2009, the date in which Croatia notified to the Commission the name of the new issuing authority.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1172/91 of 6 May 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 470/91 on the temporary suspension of the system of accession compensatory amounts for common feed wheat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 257 thereof, and to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 of 22 December 1987 extending the period referred to in Articles 90 (1) and 257 (1) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3836/90 (2),

Whereas market prices for maize are very high throughout the Community owing to the shortage of supplies following the drought in the summer of 1990; whereas the shortage of maize is offset by the availability of large quantites of common wheat; whereas, however, as regards Portugal, given the difference between the price for common wheat and for other feed grain, the substitution of common wheat for maize in feedingstuffs in Portugal cannot take place under comparable economic conditions to those in the other Member States;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 470/91 (5) counteracts this situation by temporarily suspending until 30 April 1991 the system of accession compensatory amounts for consignments of common wheat that have undergone a treatment which makes the grain unsuitable for human consumption;
Whereas given that this situation still persists, the temporary suspension should be extended for another month;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
