(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/851/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
By Decision 2004/122/EC (3) the Commission adopted protection measures in relation to avian influenza in several Asian countries, namely in Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Pakistan, the People’s Republic of China including the territory of Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
(2)
On 19 August 2004 Malaysia has reported an outbreak of avian influenza and therefore the Commission has adopted Decision 2004/606/EC amending for the second time Decision 2004/122/EC in order to apply protection measures also to Malaysia.
(3)
Given the disease situation in most countries of the region, in particular with respect to the continuing outbreaks of avian influenza in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the People’s Republic of China and Indonesia, it is necessary to further prolong the protection measures in place.
(4)
At present some of the countries listed above have not reported any further outbreaks; therefore their disease status in relation to avian influenza should be reviewed before December 2004.
(5)
The western peninsula of Malaysia is listed in Commission Decision 94/85/EC (4) and it is therefore necessary to restrict the importation of table eggs, non-treated game trophies, raw pet food and unprocessed feed materials containing any parts of poultry from this region in Malaysia.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Article 1
Decision 2004/122/EC is amended as follows:
1.

2.
in Article 7 the date of ‘15 December 2004’ is replaced by ‘31 March 2005’.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1545/2007
of 20 December 2007
fixing the complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 29(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 29(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that, during the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years and in order to ensure adequate supply to Community refineries, import duties on a complementary quantity of imports of raw cane sugar originating in the States referred to in Annex VI to that Regulation are to be suspended.
(2)
That complementary quantity should be calculated in accordance with Article 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 of 28 June 2006 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 marketing years for the import and refining of products of the sugar sector under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements (2), on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance of raw sugar. For the 2007/2008 marketing year, the balance indicates the need to import a complementary quantity of raw sugar so that the Community refineries' supply needs can be met.
(3)
To ensure that refineries within the Community have a sufficient supply of raw sugar to fulfil their traditional supply needs, the complementary quantity should be allocated between the third countries concerned in a way to ensure full delivery. For India, it is considered appropriate to maintain an initial quantity of 10 000 tonnes. As regards the remaining supply need, a global quantity should be fixed for the ACP States, which have collectively undertaken to implement between themselves procedures for the allocation of the quantities in order to ensure the appropriate supply of the refineries.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

(b)
10 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in India.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2111/96 of 31 October 1996 on the issuing of export licences for fruit and vegetables without advance fixing of the refund
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular Article 26 (11) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1832/96 of 23 September 1996 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2110/96 (4), sets the indicative quantities laid down for the issuing of export licences without advance fixing of the refund other than licences applied for in the context of food aid;
Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95 of 28 June 1995 on implementing rules for export refunds on fruit and vegetables (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/95 (6), provides that where there is an overrun of the indicative quantities, the excess quantities are to be deducted;
Whereas, in the light of information available to the Commission today, the indicative quantities laid down for the current period for tomatoes, apples and table grapes are close to being or have already been exceeded; whereas those overruns will probably result in a reduction in the indicative quantities for the following period; whereas that reduction would be prejudicial to exports followed by applications for licences without advance fixing of the refund during that following period;
Whereas, in order to avoid that situation, applications for licences without advance fixing of the refund for tomatoes, apples and table grapes exported after 5 November 1996 should be rejected until the end of the current period;
Whereas, in order to avoid their inclusion in the calculations made by the Commission pursuant to Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95, such applications must not be communicated to the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Applications for export licences for tomatoes, table grapes and apples without advance fixing of the refund as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95, export declarations for which are accepted after 5 November and before 24 November 1996, are hereby rejected.
Notwithstanding Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1488/95, such applications shall not be included in communications to the Commission.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 November 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
