of 10 July 2001
determining to what extent applications for import rights for calves not exceeding 80 kilograms lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1128/1999 can be met
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1128/1999 of 28 May 1999 laying down detailed rules of application for a tariff quota for calves weighing not more than 80 kilograms originating in certain third countries(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1096/2001(2), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1128/1999 provides for the quantities reserved for traditional importers to be allocated in proportion to their imports during the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 2000.
(2) Allocation of the quantities available to operators covered by Article 2(3)(b) of that Regulation is to be made in proportion to the quantities applied for. Since the quantities applied for exceed the quantities available, a fixed percentage reduction should be set,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Every application for an import right for live animals of the bovine species not exceeding 80 kilograms shall be granted to the following extent:
(a) 24,0591 % of the quantities imported within the meaning of Article 2(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1128/1999;
(b) 0,5549 % of the quantities applied for within the meaning of Article 2(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1128/1999.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1897/96 of 1 October 1996 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries (1), introduced certain quantitative quotas, listed in Annex II to that Regulation, applicable to the People's Republic of China; whereas one such quota applies to glassware falling within HS/CN heading 7013;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1735/96 (2) classifies glass-fronted clip-frames, consisting of a mechanically-gathered glass sheet with worked edges, a printed paper sheet and a piece of hardborard to support the picture, held together by clips of base metal, within CN code 7013 99 90;
Whereas, as a result, such clip-frames originating in the People's Republic of China are now subject to a quantitative quota throughout the Community;
Whereas the effects of this classification go beyond what is necessary for the appropriate protection of the sectors of Community industry concerned; whereas these clip-frames should therefore be excluded from the quota arrangements introduced by Regulation (EC) No 519/94;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 519/94 excludes certain sports footwear and footwear involving special technology from the quotas applicable to footwear of HS/CN codes 6402 99, 6403 91, 6403 99 and 6404 11;
Whereas the application of the above exclusion by the customs authorities has been discussed in the Customs Code Committee; whereas the present wording of the exclusion has been found to pose a number of practical problems in the field; whereas HS/CN codes 6402 99, 6403 91 and 6403 99 do not cover footwear which is designed for a sporting activity and has, or has provision for the attachment of, spikes, sprigs, stops, clips, bats or the like, with a non-injected sole; whereas the wording of the exclusion in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 must therefore be corrected in the interests of the proper and uniform application of Community legislation;
Whereas Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 and the corresponding provisions of Annex III thereto should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 shall be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
In Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94, the text concerning footwear shall be replaced by the following:

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 April 1997 amending, as regards certain Spanish regions, Decision 93/52/EEC recording the compliance by certain Member States or regions with the requirements relating to brucellosis (B. melitensis) and according them the status of a Member State or region officially free of the disease (Text with EEA relevance) (97/315/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/68/EEC of 28 January 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 94/953/EC (2), and in particular Annex A, Chapter 1.II thereof,
Whereas, by Commission Decision 93/52/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 94/972/EC (4), the Commission recorded compliance by certain Member States or regions with the requirements relating to brucellosis (B. melitensis) and accorded them the status of a Member State or region officially free of the disease;
Whereas in the regions of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas brucellosis has been a notifiable disease for at least five years; whereas no case has been confirmed officially there for at least five years and vaccination has been banned for at least three years; whereas it should be therefore recorded that these regions comply with the requirements laid down in Annex A, Chapter 1.II (1) (b) to Directive 91/68/EEC;
Whereas the regions of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas therefore satisfy the conditions to be recognized officially free of brucellosis;
Whereas Spain furthermore undertakes to comply with Annex A Chapter 1.II (2) of Council Directive 91/68/EEC; whereas the status of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas should therefore be recognized as officially free of brucellosis (B. melitensis) and Decision 93/52/EEC should be amended accordingly;
Whereas sheep and goats introduced onto holdings in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas must therefore comply with the conditions laid down in Annex A Chapter 1.I.D to Council Directive 91/68/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1

COUNCIL DECISION of 25 March 1996 approving amendments to the statutes of the Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk GmbH (KRB) joint undertaking (96/243/ECSC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 50 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Council, by Decision 63/27/Euratom (1), established the Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk GmbH (KRB) in the form of a joint undertaking;
Whereas by Decision 88/446/Euratom (2), the Council amended Decision 63/27/Euratom to extend the period of validity of the joint undertaking status for a further 12 years ending in the year 2000 with a view to complete dismantling by KRB of its nuclear power station;
Whereas the decision taken at the general meeting of the members of KRB on 11 November 1994 to reduce the capital of the joint undertaking from 100 million German marks to 40 million German marks constitutes an amendment to the statutes of the joint undertaking;
Whereas considering the reduction in its activities as a result of the dismantling of the nuclear power station, this reduction in capital does not prejudice sound financial management of the joint undertaking; whereas the corresponding amendment to the statutes of the joint undertaking should consequently be approved,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The amendments to Articles 4 and 5 of the statutes of the Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk GmbH (KRB) joint undertaking, as annexed to this Decision, are hereby approved.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States and to the KRB joint undertaking.

amending Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
