COMMISSION DECISION
of 7 March 1986
concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for the import of fresh meat from Greenland
(86/117/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 83/91/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas following a Community veterinary mission it appears that the animal health situation in Greenland is excellent, stable and completely controlled, particularly as regards diseases transmissible through meat;
Whereas, in addition, the responsible veterinary authorities have confirmed that Greenland has for at least 12 months been free from rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease, and that no vaccination has been carried out against those diseases during that time;
Whereas the responsible veterinary authorities have undertaken to notify the Commission of the European Communities and the Member States, by telex or telegram, within 24 hours, of the confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or the adoption of vaccination against any of them;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adopted according to the animal health situation of the non-member country concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee;
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Member States shall authorize the importation from Greenland of fresh meat of bovine animals, sheep, goats and domestic solipeds conforming to the guarantees laid down in an animal health certificate which accords with the Annex hereto and which must accompany the consignment.
Article 2
This Decision shall not apply to imports of glands and organs authorized by the country of destination for pharmaceutical manufacturing purposes.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2254/2004
of 27 December 2004
amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Harmonised rules for organic livestock production are still quite recent and with the current development of this sector there is still not a sufficient range of biodiversity of organically reared livestock available on the market. Hence, there is still a need to facilitate the development of the organic livestock production.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2003 (2), which amended Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, extended the transitional period for bringing conventional animals into the organic farming system until 31 December 2004. However, this extension has proved not to be sufficient in particular in the case of poultry production, which comprises different stages where different specialised sectors are involved.
(3)
There is, therefore, still a need for reliance on non-organically reared animals. The provisions on the origin of the animals should be adapted accordingly.
(4)
Although it is already possible to reinforce the provisions on the origin of pullets for egg production, production standards for these animals have not been harmonised yet. Until such standards are established, it is appropriate to permit bringing non-organically reared pullets for egg production of not more than 18 weeks into an organic livestock unit when organically reared pullets are not available, under certain conditions applying prior to bringing these animals into the organic farming system.
(5)
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
Considering the urgency of the measure due to the fact that certain provisions on the origin of animals expire on 31 December 2004, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 7 February 2002
fixing the maximum export refund on common wheat in connection with the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 943/2001

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 602/2001(4), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund on exportation of common wheat to all third countries with the exclusion of Poland was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 943/2001(5).
(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) 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 tenders notified from 1 to 7 February 2002, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 943/2001, the maximum refund on exportation of common wheat shall be EUR 0,00/t.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 305/91 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 stipulates that, to the extent necessary for the supply of refineries, provision may be made for the same measures as those taken in regard to raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments to be applied to raw sugar produced from beet harvested in the Community; whereas the raw sugar forward supply estimate for all refineries indicates an increase in the quantity of the raw sugar from beet harvested in the Community that is available for Portuguese refineries for the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas the quantity of such sugar foreseen for the supply of Portuguese refineries in respect of the 1990/91 marketing year by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/10 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3624/90 (4), should as a consequence be amended;
Whereas 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 quantity of 45 000 tonnes indicated in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/90 is replaced by the quantity of 65 000 tonnes.
