COUNCIL DECISION of 18 December 1997 on a TACIS Civil Society Development Programme for Belarus for 1997 (98/1/EC, Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96 of 25 June 1996 concerning the provision of assistance to economic reform and recovery in the new independent States and Mongolia (1), and in particular to Article 3 (11) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the internal situation of Belarus has deteriorated, in particular since November 1996, leading to a step backwards in the process of democratization and the restriction of basic liberties and violations of human rights;
Whereas, for this reason, no TACIS Indicative Programme 1996-1999 nor, consequently, any action programme could be negotiated with Belarusian authorities, although such programmes would normally form the basis of bilateral TACIS cooperation with a partner State, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96;
Whereas the Council has adopted a position towards Belarus which is stated in the Conclusions of 24 February 1997, the Declaration of 29 April 1997 and the Conclusions of 15 September 1997, suspending cooperation with the Belarusian authorities in the absence of convincing efforts to proceed with the necessary democratic reforms, but offering assistance to Belarus in the process of democratization, in particular in two specific areas: human rights protection and freedom of the media;
Whereas the Community has provided support for the process of democratization through budget line B7-7010, but that effort should be deepened and complemented by other measures;
Whereas Article 3 (11) of Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96 allows the Council to take appropriate measures concerning assistance to a partner State when an essential element for the continuation of cooperation through assistance is missing, in particular in cases of violation of democratic principles and human rights;
Whereas the Commission has proposed to the Council to set up a Civil Society Development Programme for Belarus in the framework of the 1997 TACIS programme as the appropriate measure towards Belarus;
Whereas, even in the absence of a TACIS Indicative Programme 1996-1999 and, consequently, of an action programme for Belarus, the programme proposed by the Commission will be implemented in compliance with the appropriate procedures laid down in Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96, in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
The TACIS Civil Society Development Programme for Belarus for 1997 is hereby approved for a maximum amount of ECU 5 million.
Article 2
The Programme shall be implemented by the Commission, acting in accordance with the appropriate procedures laid down in Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1279/96, in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof.
Article 3
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 94/24/EC
of 8 June 1994
amending Annex II to Directive 79/409/EEC on the conservation of wild birds
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130s (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty,
Whereas Annex II to Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (3) should be amended to take account of the latest knowledge on the situation of avifauna;
Whereas several Member States have asked the Commission to amend Annex II/2 to include certain species which hitherto could not legally be hunted;
Whereas Article 7 (4) of the same Directive requires Member States to ensure that the practice of hunting complies with the principles of wise use and ecologically balanced control of the species of birds concerned;
Whereas owing to their geographical distribution and population levels in some countries certain species may be hunted or controlled locally with the result that certain requests for additions to Annex II/2 can be approved;
Whereas the species Limosa limosa, Limosa lapponica and Numenius arquata should be removed from Annex II/2 in respect of Italy in order to protect the globally endangered species Numenius tenuirostis which they resemble so closely in their habits as much as in their appearance that there are exceptional risks of confusion;
Whereas permitting the hunting of the species listed in Annex II/2 is merely an option of which the Member States may or may not avail themselves; whereas, therefore, they are not required to take measures to do so and, if they do so decide, they may do so even after the date laid down for the application of this Directive,

The text of the Annex to this Directive shall be substituted for that of Annex II/2 to Directive 79/409/EEC.

The Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary for them to comply with this Directive by 30 September 1995.
When Member States adopt those provisions they shall include references to this Directive or accompany them with such references on their official publication. The Member States shall lay down the manner in which such references shall be made.
Article 3
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that during the 1993/94 marketing years adjustment aid of ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar is to be granted as an intervention measure to the Community's preferential raw cane sugar refining industry; whereas, as provided for in those provisions, additional aid equal to that amount is to be granted during the same period for the refining of raw cane sugar produced in the French overseas departments;
Whereas the fourth subparagraph of Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the adjustment aid and the additional aid referred to above may be altered in respect of a given marketing year in the light in particular of the storage levy fixed for that year; whereas the storage levy for the 1993/94 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1710/93 (3) at ECU 3,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas this amount is higher than that applicable for the 1992/93 marketing year;
Whereas account should, however, be taken in the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the 1990/91, 1991/92 and 1992/93 marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy reductions on the refining margin for the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas these provisions must apply from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year on 1 July 1993;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
