By Commission Decision 2005/1/EC (2), the Czech Republic was authorised to apply four methods for grading pig carcasses.

Whereas it is therefore necessary to limit such damaging consequences by adopting special measures so that export operations which have not been completed on account of the abovementioned circumstances can be regularised;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) N° 3942/92 of 22 December 1992 establishing a reference method for the determination of sitosterol and stigmasterol in butteroil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 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) N° 2071/92 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas butteroil has to be traced and the traced butteroil has to be controlled according to Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3143/85 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1264/92 (4), and in particular Articles 5 and 6 thereof;
Whereas butteroil may be traced and the traced products have to be controlled according to Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 570/88 (5) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 124/92 (6), and in particular Articles 3 and 6 thereof;

Whereas strict compliance with the conditions relating to the tracing of butteroil is essential in order to prevent the risk of unauthorized use of subsidized butter;
Whereas taking account of the importance of tracing in the proper functioning of these schemes it is necessary to establish common methods for detection of all tracers required by these schemes applicable in the same way throughout the Community; this would in particular ensure equal treatment of all operators having access to these schemes and eliminate unequal conidtions of competition which may result at present, as a consequence of different national methods of analysis.
Whereas it is difficult to establish such reference methods for all tracers simultaneously; whereas establishing a reference method for the determination of stigmasterol and sitosterol in butteroil constitutes a first step in this direction;

Furthermore, the referene method shall be applied, if the â-sitosterol content of butteroil has to be determined according to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) N° 570/88.
Butteroil has been traced correctly if the results obtained are in accordance with the requirements specified in paragraph 8 of this Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 February 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2511/88
of 8 August 1988
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72 on certain detailed rules on aid for seed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 on the common organization of the market in seeds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3997/87 (2), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1674/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3795/85 (4), lays down general rules for granting and financing aid for seed; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1382/74 (6), sets out detailed rules relating to the aid;
Whereas aid can be granted only for seed for sowing; whereas, if there are other possible uses for the seed and a risk that the aid will be improperly granted on a proportion of production, provision should be made for recipients of the aid to provide evidence that the seed covered by their aid applications was correctly used; whereas, in view of the splintering of seed marketing, it may be difficult to provide evidence for all seed marketed and the requirements relating to evidence should be relaxed;
Whereas Community rice seed production has risen substantially over the last three marketing years; whereas there thus appears to be a risk that a proportion of this seed could be used for purposes other than sowing; whereas control measures for the use of such seed should therefore be introduced; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the Management Committee for Seeds has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following subparagraph is added to Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72:
'In the case of rice seed the aid shall be granted only if the recipient shows to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned that the seed has in fact been marketed for sowing. This condition shall be deemed to have been met if the recipient proves that at least 95 % of the seed for which aid was applied for has been marketed for sowing.
The Member States shall notify the Commission of the measures adopted to verify the use to which seed qualifying for the aid has been put. The Member States shall, where appropriate, carry out checks on seed breeders or at seed breeding farms and on users'
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.
