Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 471/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector.

Whereas it has appeared from these requests that certain agricultural products need to be added to section C of Annex VI and are required because these products appear not to be produced in sufficient quantities in the Community according to the organic production method while, on the contrary, that certain other products need to be deleted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,

Having regard to Council Directive 79/196/EEC of 6 February 1979 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres employing certain types of protection (2), as last amended by Commission Directive 94/26/EC (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas it is necessary to adapt the contents of Annex I to Directive 79/196/EEC to technical progress by incorporating seven new European standards recently drawn up by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (Cenelec);
Whereas, in view of the present state of technical progress, it is now necessary to adapt the contents of the harmonized standards referred to in Annex I to Directive 79/196/EEC;
Whereas, in view of the nature of the equipment concerned, a provision should be made for transitional arrangements in order to enable the industry to adapt appropriately to the changes to the standards;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 695/2005
of 26 April 2005
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
For intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organisation rules, basic Community financing rules have been set by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as to the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from tying up the funds needed for intervention purchasing, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage.
(2)
Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States for the purchase of intervention products are to be financed by the Community according to a uniform method and a uniform interest rate.
(3)
It may appear that in a Member State the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate.
(4)
Where the difference between interest rates is more than twice the uniform interest rate for a given Member State, provision should be made for a correcting mechanism to be applied. That difference should nevertheless be partially borne by the Member State concerned in order to encourage it to seek the least costly financing method.
(5)
Application of this mechanism should be temporary and, consequently, be carried out during the financial years 2005 and 2006. It should apply from the beginning of the current financial year,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The third subparagraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, if the interest rate borne by a Member State is more than twice the uniform interest rate, the Commission may, for the financial years 2005 and 2006, in financing the interest costs incurred by that Member State, cover the amount which corresponds to the uniform rate of interest plus the difference between double that rate and the actual rate borne by the Member State.’
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 to expenditure incurred from 1 October 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) Whereas in order to improve the quality of the catches by pelagic vessels and hence increase the proportion of these catches landed for human consumption it is necessary to allow an increase in their capacity;

(4) Whereas the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture failed to deliver an opinion within the time allowed by its chairman,
