COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1549/93 of 14 June 1993 fixing, for the 1993/94 marketing year, certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 2 (3), 3 (4) and 4 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and ensure that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas, in order to attain these objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, taking into account in particular the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while at the same time respecting consumers' interests, and which is likely to maintain the balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products;
Whereas, as a result of the characteristics of the sugar market, the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight; whereas, consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is being fixed, the difference between the target price and the intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low level;
Whereas the basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price and of the costs of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kilograms of white sugar per tonne of beet at 16 % sugar content,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The target price for white sugar shall be ECU 55,79 per 100 kilograms.
2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be ECU 53,01 per 100 kilograms for the non-deficit areas of the Community.
Article 2
The basic price for beet shall be ECU 40 per tonne delivered at the collection centre.
Article 3
Standard quality beet shall:
(a) be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality;
(b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Directive 2001/93/EC
of 9 November 2001
amending Directive 91/630/EEC laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/630/EEC of 19 November 1991 laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs(1) as amended, and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 91/630/EEC the Scientific Veterinary Committee adopted on 30 September 1997 an opinion regarding the welfare of intensively kept pigs.
(2) Council Directive 98/58/EC of 20 July 1998 concerning the protection of animals kept for farming purposes(2), drawn up on the basis of the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes, establishes Community provisions applying to all farmed animals in relation to construction requirements for animal housing, insulation, heating and ventilation conditions, equipment inspection and inspection of livestock. It is therefore necessary to deal with these matters in the Annex to Directive 91/630/EEC when more detailed requirements have to be established.
(3) When pigs are kept in groups, appropriate management measures for their protection should be taken to improve their welfare.
(4) Tail docking, tooth clipping and tooth grinding are likely to cause immediate pain and some prolonged pain to pigs. Castration is likely to cause prolonged pain which is worse if there is tearing of the tissues. Those practices are therefore detrimental to the welfare of pigs, especially when carried out by incompetent and inexperienced persons. As consequence, rules should be laid down to ensure better practices.
(5) The abovementioned report of the Scientific Veterinary Committee recommended that, in the interests of their welfare, piglets should not be weaned from the sow aged less than 28 days, unless the health of either the sow or her piglets would otherwise be adversely affected or advantages for the health of the piglets justify an earlier weaning.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
The Annex to Directive 91/630/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 January 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
