COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 383/87
of 6 February 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 on the sale of intervention butter intended for incorporation in compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 of 15 July 1968 lying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3790/85 (2), and in particular Article 7a thereof,
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3987/86 (4), specifies the butter to be sold; whereas, in view of the level of stocks available for such sale, the date in the abovementioned Article should be altered;
Whereas Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 defines the principal requirements covered by the processing security; whereas Article 11 (2) of that Regulation derogates from those provisions where compound feedingstuffs are delivered by tanker or container; whereas that derogation serves no purpose, is costly and all the more detrimental to the disposal programme as it constitutes a handicap for users of butter in feedingstuffs in certain Member States owing to the very large quantities delivered by tanker or container; whereas the provisions of Article 11 (2) should accordingly be deleted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 2409/86 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, '1 July 1983' is replaced by '1 January 1984'.
2. Article 11 is replaced by the following:
'Article 11
Where compound feedingstuffs are delivered by tanker or container, the following provisions shall apply:
- the undertaking manufacturing the compound feedingstuffs shall, on application, be authorized to use that form of transport by the competent agency of the Member State in whose territory it is established,
- delivery shall take place under the administrative supervision of the competent authority. To that end, the undertaking shall provide the authority with documentary evidence to the effect that the delivery has actually taken place.'.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Having regard to Council Decision 1999/492/EC of 21 June 1999 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an exchange of Letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, of the other part, on Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland(3), in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Iceland, of the other part, on Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland, approved by Decision 1999/492/EC, provides for annual tariff quotas for imports from Iceland of sugar confectionery products and chocolate and other food preparation containing cocoa. It is necessary to open that quota for 2003.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002(5), lays down rules for the management of tariff quotas.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1750/2004
of 8 October 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 on marketing standards for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 35a thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 5(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 (2), indications of organoleptic properties may appear on the labelling only if they are based on the results of a method of analysis provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis (3).
(2)
Under the tenth indent of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91, evaluation of the organoleptic characteristics is to be made in accordance with the method set out in Annex XII to that Regulation. Only the positive attributes listed in that Annex may be used. However, owing to the very small number of organoleptic attributes set out in that Annex, operators are encountering difficulties in describing the organoleptic characteristics on the labels of their oil.
(3)
As there is no objective method at present of verifying certain organoleptic characteristics that greatly enhance virgin olive oils as regards flavour, aroma and colour, such attributes cannot appear on the labels. Moreover, the positive organoleptic attributes listed in Annex XII to Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 cannot cover the full range of olive varieties or tastes of virgin olive oils.
(4)
In view of the fact that research into new organoleptic evaluation methods launched by an international agency with a view to widening the range of positive attributes of virgin olive oils is still under way and is likely to take longer than anticipated in 2003, a new date should be fixed from which these methods are to apply, allowing sufficient time for completion of the research. The date from which Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 applies should therefore be postponed again. Setting the date from which that Article is to apply at 1 July 2006 coincides with the beginning of the 2006/2007 marketing year.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 should be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The third subparagraph of Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘Article 5(c) shall apply from 1 July 2006.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
