Whereas the present situation and the outlook on the Community market for seeds listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 that will be sold during the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years do not offer the assurance of a fair return to producers; whereas part of their costs should therefore be met by the granting of aid;
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 provides that the aid shall be fixed, taking into account, on the one hand, the need to ensure a balance between the volume of production required in the Community and the possible outlets for that production and, on the other hand, the prices of the products on external markets;
Whereas the varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) of indica type or profile available in the Community are not always well adapted to farming and weather conditions in the producing areas of the Community; whereas these varieties are in demand on the Community market; whereas the aid for rice seed should therefore be differentiated so as to encourage production of seed of the indica type or profile;
Whereas the varieties of indica type or profile in question are those specified in Regulation (EEC) No 3878/87 (6),
Whereas Articles 106 and 300 of the Act of Accession stipulate that the aid for seeds is to be granted in Spain and Portugal in accordance with Articles 79 and 246 of the said Act;
Whereas the application of these provisions results in the fixing of the amounts of aid applicable for the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years at the levels set out in the Annexes hereto,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1 For the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years the amounts of the aid granted for seeds referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 shall be as set out in the Annexes hereto.
Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 16 March 1987
amending Directive 69/169/EEC as regards a derogation granted to the Kingdom of Denmark relating to the rules governing turnover tax and excise duty on imports in international travel
(87/198/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, until 31 December 1987, the Kingdom of Denmark enjoys a derogation from Directive 69/169/EEC (1), as last amended by Directive 85/348/EEC (2), with regard to the import of certain products by travellers having their residence in Denmark after having stayed in another country for less than 48 hours; whereas, in addition, the Kingdom of Denmark applied a reduced quantitative limit for certain products until 31 December 1986;
Whereas any change of the above rules would at present cause serious economic difficulties for Denmark; whereas, therefore, the application thereof should be extended until 31 December 1988,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Article 7c of Directive 69/169/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 7c
By way of derogation from Article 4 (1) the Kingdom of Denmark shall be authorized:
(a) to apply to still wine, in travel between Member States, a limit of four litres;
(b) to apply until 31 December 1988 the following quantitative limits as regards exemption for imports of goods hereinafter mentioned, where such goods are imported by travellers resident in Denmark after a stay of less than 48 hours in another country:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1183/2008
of 28 November 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 on marketing standards for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 113(1)(a) and 121(h) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 (2) provides for a system designating certain optional references for olive oils. Under Article 5(c) of that Regulation, indications of organoleptic properties of virgin olive oils may appear on the labelling only if they are based on the results of a method of analysis provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 of 11 July 1991 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis (3). In accordance with Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002, this provision shall apply from 30 November 2008.
(2)
The research into new organoleptic evaluation methods launched by the International Olive Council (IOC) with a view to expanding the range of positive characteristics of virgin olive oils was completed in November 2007. The adaptation of Community legislation to the revised IOC method involves amending Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002. This adaptation is part of the amendment of several rules on the labelling of olive oil which are due to enter into force on 1 July 2009. It would be inopportune, in particular for operators who will have to adapt the labelling of their products, to apply the current provisions of Article 5(c) for a limited period running from 30 November 2008 to 30 June 2009.
(3)
The date from which Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 applies should therefore be postponed until 1 July 2009.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 should be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The third subparagraph of Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 5(c) shall apply from 1 July 2009.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 30 November 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
