COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 728/2007
of 25 June 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
On 20 December 1996, the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 (1). Community demand for the products to which that Regulation applies should be met under the most favourable conditions. For that purpose, new Community tariff quotas should be opened at zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.
(2)
The quota amounts for two autonomous Community tariff quotas are insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry. Consequently, those quota amounts should be increased.
(3)
It is no longer in the Community interest to continue to grant a Community tariff quota from 1 July 2007 for one product, on which duties have been suspended until that date. The product in question should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to rely on the grounds of urgency provided for in point I.3 of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities.
(6)
Since this Regulation is to apply from 1 July 2007, it should enter into force immediately,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1.
the tariff quotas for the products set out in Annex I to this Regulation shall be inserted;
2.
the rows for the tariff quotas with order numbers 09.2603, 09.2727 and 09.2977 shall be replaced by the rows set out in Annex II to this Regulation;
3.
the row for the tariff quota with order number 09.2970 shall be deleted.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 July 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Decision 2005/914/EC of 21 November 2005 on the conclusion of a Protocol amending the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part, on a tariff quota for the imports of sugar and sugar products originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia into the Community (3),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2151/2005 of 23 December 2005 laying down detailed rules for the opening and administration of the tariff quota for sugar products originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as provided for in the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, of the other part (4), in particular Article 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Applications for import licences were submitted to the competent authority during the week of 3 to 7 July 2006, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 950/2006, for a total quantity equal to or exceeding the quantity available for serial numbers 09.4318; 09.4320; 09.4325.
(2)
In these circumstances, the Commission must set an allocation coefficient in order to issue licences in proportion to the quantity available and to inform the Member States, where necessary, when the set limit has been reached,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 162/2002
of 29 January 2002
determining the aid referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 for the private storage of butter and cream and derogating from Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter and cream
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 34(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 of 16 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter and cream(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1614/2001(4), stipulates that, without prejudice to Article 38 of that Regulation, the amount of the aid referred to in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 for private storage is to be fixed each year. To this end, account should be taken of the fixed, daily and financial costs of storage, and of the movements in the European Central Bank's interest rate in the case of the financial costs.
(2) Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 stipulates the period in which entry into store must take place. The current situation on the butter market justifies bringing the entry date of 15 March for butter and cream storage operations in 2002 forward to 1 March, as an exceptional measure.
(3) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The aid referred to in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be calculated per tonne of butter or butter equivalent for contracts concluded in 2002 on the following basis:
(a) EUR 24 for the fixed costs;
(b) EUR 0,35 for the costs of cold storage for each day of contractual storage, and
(c) an amount per day of contractual storage, calculated on the basis of 91 % of the intervention price for butter in force on the day the contractual storage begins and on the basis of an annual interest rate of 3 %.
Article 2
Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 notwithstanding, entry into store in 2002 may take place from 1 March.
Article 3
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 (EC) No 1071/2000
of 19 May 2000
applying a special intervention measure for maize and sorghum at the end of the 1999/2000 marketing year

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1253/1999(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The intervention period for maize and sorghum ends on 30 April in the south and 31 May in the north. In view of the uncertainty as regards outlets, this is likely to induce operators to offer substantial quantities of maize and sorghum for intervention at the end of May in the north, although certain market outlets may be found after the end of the intervention period. This situation may be remedied by allowing those cereals to be bought in until 15 August 2000.
(2) The conditions governing the buying-in of cereals are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 of 19 April 2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals(3).

1. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the intervention agencies of Member States other than Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal shall buy in quantities of maize and sorghum offered to them from 1 July to 15 August 2000.
2. The price to be paid shall be the intervention price applicable for May 2000.
3. Buying-in shall be carried out by the intervention agency in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 824/2000.
Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, the last delivery of quantities offered for intervention must take place by 31 August 2000 at the latest.
