Council Decision
of 18 June 2001
on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Bulgaria concerning the participation of the Republic of Bulgaria in the European Environment Agency and the European environment information and observation network
(2001/589/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1), in conjunction with the first sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 300(2) and the first subparagraph of Article 300(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) The European Environment Agency and the European environment information and observation network were established by Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90(3).
(2) The Luxembourg European Council (December 1997) made participation in the Community programmes and agencies a way of stepping up the pre-accession strategy for the central and east European countries. In the case of the agencies, the European Council's conclusions provide that "the Community agencies in which applicant countries will be able to participate will be determined on a case-by-case basis".
(3) The Helsinki European Council (December 1999) reaffirmed the inclusive nature of the accession process, which now comprises 13 candidate countries within a single framework with the candidate countries participating in the accession process on an equal footing.
(4) The Council, on 14 February 2000, authorised the Commission to conduct negotiations on the participation in the European Environment Agency of the countries applying for accession. The Commission signed the Final Act of the negotiations on 9 October 2000.
(5) The Agreement as referred to in this Decision should be approved,

Council Regulation (EC) No 1336/2000
of 19 June 2000
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 9(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92(3) assigns production quotas to producers in proportion to the average quantity delivered over the three years preceding that of the most recent harvest.
(2) Article 9(4) of that Regulation stipulates that, before the final date for the conclusion of cultivation contracts, Member States may be authorised to transfer parts of their guarantee threshold allocations to other variety groups, in accordance with paragraph 3. The words "in accordance with paragraph 3" were taken over from a provision that preceded the adoption of the transfer measure. The reference to paragraph 3 in paragraph 4 should therefore be deleted in view of the fact that transfers cannot occur under paragraph 3 without adversely affecting producers who, having already received production quotas in proportion to the average quantity delivered in the three years preceding the year of the most recent harvest, apply to cultivate other varieties responding to market demand. Application of the reference to paragraph 3 would mean in effect that the quantities transferred would be assigned to the producers in proportion to the average quantities delivered by them in the three years preceding the year of the most recent harvest, without taking account of the acquired right of the producer applying for the transfer.
(3) The measure in question should apply from the 1999 harvest,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The first subparagraph of Article 9(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 is hereby amended as follows:"Before the final date for the conclusion of cultivation contracts, Member States may be authorised to transfer parts of their guarantee threshold allocations to other variety groups."
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 the 1999 harvest.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),

Whereas:
(1) the encouragement of the permanent abandonment of wine-growing areas by the grant of premiums is provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88(4);
(2) pending application of the reform of the common organisation of the market in wine, the existing scheme for the grant of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of wine-growing areas should be extended, whilst limiting the total area that may be covered by it;
