amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 13(15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Negotiations with a view to adopting trade agreements between the European Community and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and the total liberalisation of trade in other agricultural products have recently been concluded. In the cereals sector, one of the concessions provided for is the abolition of export refunds. The abolition of export refunds covers most of the basic products referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and certain processed products.
(2) With a view to adopting these agreements, and in order to clarify the export terms at the beginning of 2003 for all exporters in the cereals sector, in particular in view of the period of validity of export licences, export refunds should be abolished from 1 January 2003.
(3) The authorities of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia have undertaken to ensure that only consignments of Community products covered by the trade agreements on which no refund has been granted are allowed for import into those countries. To that end, Article 7a of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1322/2002(6), governing exports to Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, should be made to apply also to exports to Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 264/2005
of 16 February 2005
fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat applicable from 17 February 2005
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(3)
Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (2) stipulates that no refund is granted if the products are not of sound and fair marketable quality on the date on which the export declaration is accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify for the refund, the poultrymeat listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 must bear the health mark as laid down in Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (3).
(4)
The Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
However, in order to qualify for the refund, products falling within the scope of Chapter XII of the Annex to Directive 71/118/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions laid down in that Directive.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 February 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 23 November 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 authorising the offer and delivery for direct human consumption of certain wines imported from Argentina which may have undergone oenological processes not provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 45(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
By way of derogation from Article 45(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 (2) authorises imports into the Community of wine produced in Argentina which has undergone oenological processes not provided for in the Community rules. That authorisation expired on 30 September 2005.
(2)
Negotiations are still ongoing between the Community, represented by the Commission, and Mercosur, which includes Argentina, on an agreement on trade in wines. These negotiations concern, in particular, the respective oenological practices and processes used by both parties and the protection of geographical indications.
(3)
In order to facilitate the progress of the negotiations, the derogation allowing malic acid to be added to wine produced in Argentina and imported into the Community should be extended until the entry into force of the agreement resulting from the negotiations, and no later than 31 December 2006.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 527/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the second subparagraph of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 527/2003, the date ‘30 September 2005’ is hereby replaced by that of ‘31 December 2006’.

Whereas:
(1)
Slovakia has submitted a reasoned request for amendment to Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC. It has requested the addition of the profession of dental technician (zubný technik), which meets the conditions provided for in Article 11(c)(ii) of Directive 2005/36/EC, as is apparent from the Government Regulation No 742/2004 Coll. on professional qualifications of health professionals.
(2)
Denmark has submitted a reasoned request for amendments to Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC. It has requested the removal from Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC of the profession of optician (optometrist) which has been upgraded to the level of the diploma, as provided for in Article 11(d) of Directive 2005/36/EC, and therefore no longer meets the requirements of Article 11(c)(ii) of that Directive. Denmark has also requested the removal from Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC of the professions of orthopaedic technician (ortopædimekaniker) and of orthopaedic boot and shoemaker (ortopædiskomager) which are no longer regulated in Denmark.
(3)
Directive 2005/36/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the recognition of professional qualifications,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex II to Directive 2005/36/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
