THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 October 1996 laying down a Community procedure for flavouring substances used or intended for use in or on foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The aim of Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 is the establishment of a list of flavouring substances the use of which is authorised to the exclusion of all others. That list is to be established following the evaluation of flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs.
(2) In application of that Regulation, a register of flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs was adopted by Commission Decision 1999/217/EC(2), as last amended by Decision 2002/113/EC(3).
(3) The information required for the evaluation of substances on the register was specified in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000(4) laying down the evaluation programme for the chemically defined flavouring substances listed in Decision 1999/217/EC.
(4) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000 outlines the information that has to be provided by the person responsible for placing the respective substance on the market in order to carry out the evaluation programme. If the information for a particular substance does not become available within one year of adoption of that Regulation, the Commission should be informed when it would be possible to submit the information.
(5) Within the first year of the evaluation programme, the persons responsible for placing on the market the substances contained in the register, via the European Flavour and Fragrance Association, have submitted data for part of the substances listed in Decision 1999/217/EC and informed the Commission of the dates on which data for the remaining substances could be submitted.
(6) In order to allow the smooth running of the evaluation process, the Commission is now in a position to establish deadlines for the submission of the information referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 915/2006
of 21 June 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 laying down rules for evaluating and monitoring public intervention stocks of agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3492/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down the factors to be taken into consideration in the annual accounts for the financing of intervention measures in the form of public storage by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 (2) sets out the rules for the physical inspection procedure of agricultural products held in public storage.
(2)
Public storage of sugar has commenced in 2005 in accordance with the rules provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (4). New detailed rules should therefore be laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 as regards the procedure for the physical inspection of the stores as regards sugar.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
Given that intervention in sugar commenced for the 2004/05 marketing year without detailed inventory rules having been laid down, the manner in which certain Member States have organised the storage of sugar stocks makes it excessively difficult to carry out an inventory according to the normal procedures. Transitional rules should therefore be laid down for sugar stocks from the 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2148/96 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein(1), and in particular Article 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 lists animal and plant species in respect of which trade is restricted or controlled.

(2) Annex A of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 includes the species listed in Appendix I to the Convention for which the Member States have not entered a reservation and consequently Varanus nebulosus should be included on that Annex.
(3) Amendments to Appendix III to the Convention made in accordance with the provisions of Article XVI of the Convention should be reflected in Annex C of Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 and in the "Notes on interpretation of Annexes A, B, C and D". In particular, it is necessary to list Argentina, Australia, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand and Peru as range States of species included in Appendix III to the Convention.
(4) The annotation relating to some coral species needs to be adapted in order to incorporate some of the terms of CITES Resolution Conf. 11.10 concerning definitions of coral sand and coral fragments, in accordance with the definition of "specimens" given by Article 2(t) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97; the annotation regarding Aloe spp. needs to make an explicit reference to the species listed in Annex A; and the annotation to Guaiacum spp. needs to be changed in order to designate the parts and derivatives decided upon at the 12th Conference.
(5) The Scientific Review Group has established, on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 3(4)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97, that certain species must be withdrawn from the list of animals whose importation into the Community should, on account of the volume involved, be monitored, whilst certain other species must be added to that list.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 338/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.
