Commission Regulation (EC) No 373/2002
of 28 February 2002
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) 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
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 37,079/100 kg net.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,

COUNCIL DECISION
of 2 December 2005
concerning the effects of the accession of the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland to the European Union on the participation of the European Community in the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Oder and the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe
(2005/884/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the 2003 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 57 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
The participation of the European Community in the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Oder (1) and to the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe (2) (hereinafter referred to as the Oder and Elbe Conventions) was necessary because the two Conventions were concluded with third countries and addressed matters covered by Community environmental policy.
(2)
As from 1 May 2004, after the accession of the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland to the European Union, all Contracting Parties to the Oder and Elbe Conventions are Member States of the European Union. Therefore, the basis for the Community’s consent to be bound by such Conventions no longer exists. From this moment, the participation of the Community is no longer necessary or justified.
(3)
Moreover, the enlargement of the European Union has had the effect of radically transforming the legal relations between the Contracting Parties. Upon accession, the underlying policy objectives of the Oder and Elbe Conventions may be achieved through the measures laid down in Community legislation.
(4)
The 2003 Act of Accession has not specifically provided for this situation and it is therefore necessary to adopt the required measures in accordance with Article 57 thereof, which allows such omissions to be corrected.
(5)
It should be therefore made clear that, with effect of the date of accession, the Community is no longer a party to the Oder and Elbe Conventions and that certain transitory measures may need to be taken,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. The European Community has ceased to be a party to the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Oder and to the Convention on the International Commission for the Protection of the Elbe with effect of 1 May 2004.
2. If appropriate, the Commission shall agree with the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Poland solutions to any transitory problem which may result from the end of the participation of the Community in the Oder and Elbe Conventions.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Poland.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1620/1999(4), in particular lays down detailed rules for the application of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to the Canary Islands.

(3) Pending the entry into force of the reform of the specific supply arrangements and in order to avoid any break in the application of the specific supply arrangements in force, the supply balance should be established for the period 1 July to 31 December 2001.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3699/88
of 24 November 1988
increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1988 for ferro-chromium containing more than 6 % by weight of carbon
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulations (EEC) No 4098/87 (1) and (EEC) No 2065/88 (2) opened, for 1988, and allocated among the Member States a zero-duty Community tariff quota for ferro-chromium containing more than 6 % by weight of carbon, the quota volume of which was set provisionally at 390 000 tonnes;
Whereas it can be estimated from the economic data now available on consumption, production and imports under other preferential tariff arrangements that immediate Community requirements for imports of this product from non-member countries could, during the current year, reach levels higher than the volume laid down by the said Regulations; whereas, in order not to disturb the balance of the market for this product and to ensure both an outlet for Community production and sufficiently secure supplies for user industries, the quota volume should be increased by a quantity corresponding to the needs of user industries until the end of the current year, i.e. by 180 000 tonnes;
Whereas the increase in the quota volume should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States in proportion to their estimated needs and the second held as a Community reserve to cover any additional requirements,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulations (EEC) No 4098/87 and (EEC) No 2065/88 for ferro-chromium containing more than 6 % by weight of carbon shall be increased from 390 000 tonnes to 570 000 tonnes.
Article 2
1. A first part of the additional volume referred to in Article 1, amounting to 90 000 tonnes, shall be allocated among the following Member States:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 12 070, // Germany // 30 170, // Spain // 10 050, // France // 20 120, // Italy // 10 050, // United Kingdom // 7 540.
2. The second part, amounting to 90 000 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve. Thus the reserve provided for in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4098/87 shall be increased from 142 500 tonnes to 232 500 tonnes.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 2133/95 of 7 September 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77 drawing up a list of the various groups of hop varieties cultivated in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 (2) on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral tade negotiations, and in particular Article 12 (8) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 971/95 (4) divides varieties of hops into 'aromatic hops`, 'bitter hops` and 'other` according to commercial practice on the Community and world hop markets, depending in particular on whether content is made up predominantly of bitter or of aromatic substances;
Whereas certain varieties are no longer cultivated in the Community; whereas they should consequently be deleted from the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77; whereas, however, the group 'Other` is incomplete and should therefore be supplemented;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1517/77 is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 759/98 of 3 April 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2634/97 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 260/98 (4), provides that export licences must be issued for all products exported from 2 January 1998;
Whereas Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1404/97 (6), provides that no export licence is required for products where no refund is applied for and in quantities such that the security for any licence would have been ECU 5 or less;
Whereas, in the case of beef and veal, that limit of ECU 5 corresponds to one head of livestock or 200 kilograms of meat; whereas that limit has proved much too low, in particular for certain traditional transborder trade flows; whereas a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 should accordingly be provided for to increase that amount to ECU 60;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following paragraph is hereby added to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95:
'However, notwithstanding the fourth indent of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, no export licence shall be required for products covered by the second indent of Article 8(2) in quantities such that the security for any licence would have been ECU 60 or less. If the licence is issued per head and if the amount of ECU 60 does not correspond to a whole number of head, the security shall be deemed to correspond to that for the next higher whole number of head.`

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.
