COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 23/2009
of 14 January 2009
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1282/2001 as regards the final date for submitting harvest and production declarations for the 2008/09 marketing year
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 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 11(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2001 (2) requires wine growers to submit harvest and production declarations no later than 10 December, so that the volume of Community wine production can be known in good time.
(2)
In one Member State, the need to adjust the computer system for handling compulsory declarations as a result of new measures introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 of 29 April 2008 on the common organisation of the market in wine amending Regulations (EC) No 1493/1999, (EC) No 1782/2003, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 3/2008, and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2392/86 and (EC) No 1493/1999 (3), which are linked to the vineyard parcels of the vineyard register, particularly the distillation into potable alcohol, has caused a delay in the availability of this system to producers.
(3)
In another Member State, some of the computer centres to which producers have to submit those declarations have experienced a problem of capacity. Those centres are unable to handle all declarations by the deadline.
(4)
In order to rectify these two different situations, which are outside producers’ control, and therefore to avoid producers incurring unjustified penalties, they should be granted an extension for the submission of harvest and production declarations and the Member States should be allowed to extend this time frame to a final deadline.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Notwithstanding Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2001, for the 2008/09 wine year the declarations referred to in Articles 2 and 4 of that Regulation may be submitted up to 31 December 2008. However, Member States may extend this time frame to 15 January 2009 at the latest.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 10 December 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the coefficients used for calculating the price of sheep carcases on the representative markets of the Community have been adjusted in the light of the figures available with regard to sheep production; whereas that adjustment was made in Regulation (EC) No 2617/97; whereas, however, as regards Ireland, a material error led to the coefficient applicable to one of the representative markets being incorrectly adjusted; whereas, as a result, that coefficient should be corrected; whereas, also as a result of a material error, no coefficient has been set for Sweden; whereas that coefficient should therefore be introduced;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has bound the customs duty on television image and sound recorders or reproducers falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff at a rate of 8 %; whereas that binding is contained in the schedule LXXII-EEC annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT);
Whereas the Community has found it desirable to replace the voluntary export restraints on the abovementioned products, which expired on 31 December 1985, with an appropriate tariff measure, thereby providing adequate import protection consistent with the GATT; whereas the Community accordingly invoked Article XXVIII of the GATT in order to modify its international commitment on the level of its customs duties for the products in question;
Whereas in the absence of an agreement with the main supplier, the Community modified the concession in question in accordance with Article XXVIII (3) (a) of the GATT; whereas the tariff concession on certain of the said products was raised from 8 % to 14 % from 1 January 1986; whereas by way of compensation the tariff concession on certain products falling within subheading 85.21 D II was reduced from 17 % to 14 % and those on certain products falling within subheading 84.52 A, 85.15 A III and 92.11 A were reduced to zero from 1 January 1986;
Whereas the appropriate amendments to the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 were made by Regulation (EEC) No 3679/85 (1);
Whereas since 1 January 1986 the Community has reached an agreement with the main supplier; whereas as a result of this agreement certain modifications have been made to the scope of the products falling within subheadings 84.52 A, 85.15 A III and 92.11 A in respect of which duties were reduced to zero from 1 January 1986;
