Commission Regulation (EC) No 1177/2000
of 31 May 2000
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 laying down detailed rules concerning the aid for fibre flax and hemp
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organisation of the market in flax and hemp(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999(2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 of 22 March 1971 laying down general rules for granting aid for flax and hemp(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1420/98(4), the aid for hemp is granted solely for varieties where the weight of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) determined by reference to the weight of a sample dried to a constant weight has on analysis been found not to exceed certain limits. In addition, Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 of 28 April 1989 laying down detailed rules concerning the aid for fibre flax and hemp(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1328/1999(6), provides that Member States must determine the average THC content of hemp on a certain percentage of the areas under hemp
(2) Scientific advances have been made since the Community method for the quantitative determination of THC in varieties of hemp was laid down in 1989 in Annex C to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89. Furthermore, that method makes provision for a cumbersome sampling procedure for checks on production that is difficult to carry out in practice. A new method more suited to requirements and in line with current possibilities should therefore be laid down.
(3) The method used for determining the THC content of varieties of hemp on which aid is payable must be very accurate in order to ensure compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71. In addition, with a view to the findings regarding production provided for in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89, the method used must allow checks to cover a sufficiently representative percentage of the areas under hemp so as to ensure that crops correspond to those provided for under the common organisation of the market in this product. A method comprising two different procedures, one for each of the objectives pursued, should therefore be laid down.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex C to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 is replaced by the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that 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 the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) More than 90 % of the drinking milk produced in Estonia has a fat content of 2,5 %, which does not comply with the requirements of Article 3(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/97 of 18 December 1997 laying down additional rules on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products for drinking milk(1).
(2) In order to facilitate the transition towards the full application of Regulation (EC) No 2597/97, it is therefore necessary to adopt transitional measures allowing the delivery and the sale in Estonia of milk produced in Estonia with a fat content of 2,5 %.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1297/77 of 16 June 1977 amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 of 28 April 1970 laying down additional provisions for the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 528/77 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (2) thereof provides that, in respect of each wine for which a reference price is fixed, a free-at-frontier offer price for all imports is to be determined on the basis of all available information;
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 of 29 May 1970 on detailed rules for establishing free-at-frontier offer prices and fixing the countervailing charge in the wine sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 612/75 (4), provides that certain liqueur wines of designated origin are exempt from the countervailing charge ; whereas this exemption was granted because the wines involved are quality wines whose price is assumed to be higher than the reference price, which is the price level maintained by the countervailing charge;
Whereas it has been found that certain quantities of these wines enter the Community at a price lower than the reference price ; whereas, however, it is difficult to control and quantify such imports in the absence of Community methods for this purpose, particularly since Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 does not apply to them;
Whereas exemption from the countervailing charge while observing the reference price may also be achieved through another mechanism, contained in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 816/70, which provides for a guarantee by the non-member country concerned that the reference price will be observed ; whereas in that case the controls provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2506/75 are applicable;
Whereas, in the circumstances, for the purposes of better market management, exemption from the countervailing charge for the wines in question should be achieved through the second mechanism ; whereas, therefore, Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 should be deleted at the end of a period to allow for the setting up of the system of guarantees from the non-member countries concerned;
Whereas the Management Committee for wine has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1019/70 is hereby deleted.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1978.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2681/74 of 21 October 1974 on Community financing of expenditure incurred in respect of the supply of agricultural products as food aid(5) lays down that the portion of the expenditure corresponding to the export refunds on the products in question fixed under Community rules is to be charged to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section.
(2) In order to make it easier to draw up and manage the budget for Community food aid actions and to enable the Member States to know the extent of Community participation in the financing of national food aid actions, the level of the refunds granted for these actions should be determined.
