COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1809/89
of 19 June 1989
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 laying down, in respect of hops, the amount of aid to producers for the 1986 harvest and providing for special measures for certain regions of production
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas, owing to the imbalance on the market for bitter varieties Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 (2) provides for special measures for certain regions where production mainly comprises such varieties; whereas the imbalance persisting on the market for bitter varieties calls for the adoption of a measure enabling structures in regions involved in the production of bitter varieties to be modified by conversion to varieties more sought after on the market;
Whereas, in view of the market situation, the extension of the special aid provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 for varietal conversion of any area under bitter varieties to aromatic or super-alpha varieties appears to be a suitable measure;
Whereas, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the measures contemplated, the time limit by which conversion plans may be implemented should be extended; whereas the overall trend on the market makes it possible to delete the provision limiting areas which may be cultivated by producer groups qualifying for the special aid,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
'1. A special aid of ECU 2 500 per hectare shall be granted for areas under bitter hop varieties, on terms to be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 6, to producer groups recognized under Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71, the members of which undertake to implement before 31 December 1992 a plan for conversion to aromatic or super-alpha type varieties. This special aid may also be granted in respect of areas under other varieties where the latter are present on areas essentially under bitter hop varieties. This special aid shall be granted for an overall area not exceeding 800 hectares in each Member State concerned.'
2. Paragraph 4 is deleted.
3. The following subparagraph is added to paragraph 5:
'The Commission may decide to approve programmes which have been executed after their transmission to the Commission'.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 235/86
of 31 January 1986
introducing Community surveillance of imports of video tape recorders originating in South Korea
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having consulted the committee set up under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas, according to information currently available, imports of video tape records falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 92.11-91 and 99 originating in South Korea could reach a relatively high level in 1986 and account for a considerable share of the Community market;
Whereas the first imports have taken place at prices much lower than Community market prices;
Whereas, combined with the imports originating in Japan already under surveillance (2), the imports in question are likely to have a depressive effect on the Community video tape recorder industry's level of prices and financial results, thereby injuring the Community producers of like competing products;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it is in the Community's interest to introduce Community surveillance of these imports,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Imports into the Community of video tape recorders falling within subheading 92.11 B of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 92.11-91 and 99, originating in South Korea are hereby made subject to retrospective Community surveillance in accordance with the procedures set out in Articles 10 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 and this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1621/2002
of 12 September 2002
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
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 organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
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.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and 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(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(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) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) 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.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 September 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
