Commission Regulation (EC) No 1783/2002
of 7 October 2002
fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2002/2003
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. That coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question. In view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 2001, the average ageing period in 2001 was five years for Irish whiskey. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2003 should be fixed.
(2) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area(3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Therefore, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 2002/2003.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2003 the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 October 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 Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation with the Member States,
Whereas Commission Decision 98/116/EC of 4 February 1998 adopting special measures for the import of fruit and vegetables originating in or consigned from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique (2) was adopted following the reporting of cholera at epidemic status in these countries;
Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food expressed an opinion in June 1998 that the risk of human illness in non-cholera regions from exposure to Vibrio cholerae from imported fruit and vegetables from areas where cholera is at endemic or epidemic levels is low;
Whereas no cases of illness with cholera have been reported associated with the consumption of fruit and vegetables imported into the Community from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique or any other countries where cholera is at epidemic or endemic levels;
Whereas sampling at the point of importation into the Community of 10 % of consignments of fruit and vegetables originating in or consigned from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique by the competent authorities of the Member States has revealed very low incidence of contamination with Vibrio cholerae;
Whereas, therefore, Decision 98/116/EC should be repealed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 98/116/EC is hereby repealed with effect from 1 November 1998.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 650/91 of 18 March 1991 on applications for assistance in the form of operational programmes from the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) in respect of investments for improving the processing and marketing conditions for fishery and aquaculture products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4042/89 of 19 December 1989 on the improvement of the conditions under which fishery and aquaculture products are processed and marketed (1), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
After consultation with the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
Whereas applications for assistance from the EAGGF Guidance Section submitted in the form of operational programmes pursuant to the common action for the improvement of conditions under which fishery and aquaculture products are processed and marketed should contain all the information needed for their examination in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EEC) No 4042/89,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Applications for assistance from the EAGGF Guidance Section, in the form of operational programmes in respect of investments for improving the conditions under which fishery and aquaculture products are processed and marketed shall be submitted in duplicate and shall contain the information and documents specified in the Annexes.
2. Applications which do not meet the conditions in paragraph 1 will not be considered.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1107/2007
of 26 September 2007
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, as regards set-aside for the year 2008
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 54 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1) provides that, in order to qualify for a payment under the single payment scheme, any set-aside entitlement must be accompanied by a hectare of land set aside from production.
(2)
At the beginning of the 2007/2008 marketing year the cereals market is experiencing exceptionally high prices, both at Community and world level. The low level of Community 2006/2007 closing stocks was a consequence of a smaller than expected 2006 harvest. There is considerable uncertainty as regards the rebuilding of those stocks, given the preliminary forecasts for the 2007 harvest. On the international market, closing stocks in 2007/2008 are expected to fall to a historically low level, especially in the major exporting countries. Against this backdrop, even if the 2008 harvest were normal, stocks would not increase significantly, while a poor harvest would expose the internal market to potentially serious risks. Furthermore, cereals prices and stocks have a significant impact on the availability and prices of other arable crops, such as oilseeds and protein crops, and on the livestock sector, which contributes to the risk of the crisis extending to these other sectors.
(3)
It is therefore appropriate, for 2008, to allow the use of set-aside land for agricultural purposes.
(4)
Given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in paragraph 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 54(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, for 2008, farmers shall not be obliged, in order to be entitled to the amount fixed by the set-aside entitlements, to set aside from production hectares eligible for those entitlements.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1990/2004
of 19 November 2004
laying down transitional measures in the wine sector by reason of the accession of Hungary to the European Union
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 27(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1) lays down that any natural or legal person or group of persons having made wine is required to deliver for distillation all the by-products of that winemaking.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2) establishes the rules applicable to such distillation and Article 49 thereof provides for certain exceptions to that obligation.
(3)
Hungary has adopted the necessary measures for carrying out this distillation, but the capacity of distilleries for processing the by-products is as yet inadequate. Moreover, for the 2004/2005 marketing year, a sizeable crop is anticipated. Hungary should therefore be authorised to exempt certain categories of producers from the obligation to distil by-products of wine-making.
(4)
In order that the exception granted to Hungary may be applied to the entire wine year, this Regulation should apply from 1 August 2004.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of exemption from Article 49(4)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000, Hungary may lay down that, for the 2004/2005 marketing year, producers who do not exceed a production level of 500 hl obtained personally on their individual premises may fulfil the obligation to deliver by-products for distillation by having those products withdrawn under supervision.
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 1 August 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
