amending Directive 85/3/EEC on the weights, dimensions and certain other technical characteristics of certain road vehicles
(88/218/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Directive 85/3/EEC (4) requires a maximum authorized width of 2 500 mm for all vehicles;
Whereas the transport of goods under temperature-controlled conditions requires the use of special vehicles which are equipped with insulated walls;
Whereas extra internal space is required for air circulation and to ensure that the load is prevented from touching the walls; whereas, in the present state of insulation technology, insulated walls should be at least 45 mm thick; whereas it is therefore impossible to use efficiently standard pallets with dimensions of 1 200 × 800 mm and also to comply with a maximum authorized width of 2 500 mm;
Whereas therefore the maximum permitted width of 2 500 mm as laid down in Directive 85/3/EEC should be increased for the category of 'refrigerated vehicles' only,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Directive 895/3/EEC amended as follows:
1. the following indent shall be inserted as the fifth indent of Article 2:
'- thick-walled refrigerated vehicle' means any vehicle whose or movable superstructures are specially equipped for the carriage of goods at controlled temperatures in accordance with Classes B, C, E and F of the Agreement of 1 September 1970 on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be used for such Carriage (ATP) and whose side walls, inclusive of insulation, are each at least 45 mm thick;'
2. Section 1.2. of Annex I shall be replaced by the following:
'1.2. Maximum width:
1.2 // (a) all vehicles // 2,50 m // (b) refrigerated superstructures of thick-walled refrigerated vehicles // 2,60 m.'
Article 2
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 January 1989. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Whereas:
(1)
Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the rates of duty in the Common Customs Tariff are to be charged on import of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation. However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.

(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2576/85

amending Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 as regards the time limits for payment for butter bought in by intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1298/85 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (5) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 of 14 April 1969 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in butter and cream (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1767/85 (4), lays down the time limit for payment for butter bought in by intervention agencies;
Whereas, as part of the annual price fixing, the Council decided to reduce the intervention price for butter during the 1985/86 marketing year; whereas, moreover, the second year of application of the scheme for controlling milk production involves a further reduction in the reference quantities of purchasers or producers; whereas, generally speaking, in view of the overall situation in the milk sector, it appears desirable to relax the constraints affecting small milk producers for the 1985/86 milk year; whereas, with this in view, Member States should be entitled to bring forward the time limit for payment of intervention butter manufactured from deliveries by small milk producers;
Whereas, given the diversity of production and processing structures in the Community in the sector concerned and the fact that the financial consequences of the measure are borne by the Member States under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2139/85 (6), Member States should be left to define small producers for the purpose of implementing the measure;

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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:
(1) By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96(1), the Council opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions.

(2) It is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products covered by the above Regulation, and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I.
(3) In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2002 and in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in Annex I to the said Regulation should be replaced by the table in the Annex to this Regulation.
(4) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation the grounds of urgency should be invoked provided for in point 1.3 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities on the role of national parliaments in the European Union.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,

Article 1
The table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby replaced by the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
