(2005/870/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Annex III, Part A, point 12 thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Bulgaria,
Whereas:
(1)
Under the provisions of Annex III, Part A, point 12 of Directive 2000/29/EC tubers of species of Solanum L. and their hybrids, other than seed potatoes and certain other potatoes specified in Annex III, Part A, points 10 and 11, originating in certain European third countries other than those recognised as being free from Clavibacter michiganensis (Smith) Davis et al. ssp. sepedonicus (Spieckerman and Kotthoff) Davis et al. (hereinafter called the organism), or, in which provisions are recognised as equivalent to the Community provisions on combating the organism, may not be introduced into the Member States.
(2)
It appears from official information supplied by Bulgaria and from information collected during missions carried out in this country in March 2004 and March 2005 by the Food and Veterinary Office, that the organism does not occur in that country and that Bulgaria has applied a control, inspection and testing procedure for the organism on imports of potatoes and domestic seed and ware potato production.
(3)
It can therefore be established that there is no risk of the organism spreading.
(4)
This Decision is without prejudice to any subsequent findings that may show that the organism is present in Bulgaria.
(5)
The Commission will ensure that Bulgaria makes all technical information available that is necessary to continue to assess the aforementioned situation.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
It is hereby recognised that Bulgaria is recognised as being free from Clavibacter michiganensis (Smith) Davis et al. ssp. sepedonicus (Spieckerman and Kotthoff) Davis et al.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1), and in particular Article 29(1) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides that reference prices valid for the Community may be fixed each year, by product category, for products that are the subject of a tariff suspension under Article 28(1). The same holds for products which, by virtue of being either the subject of a binding tariff reduction under the WTO or some other preferential arrangements, must comply with a reference price.
(2)
For the products listed in Annex I, (A) and (B) to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price is the same as the withdrawal price fixed in accordance with Article 20(1) of that Regulation.
(3)
The Community withdrawal and selling prices for the products concerned are fixed for the 2008 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1570/2007 (2).
(4)
The reference price for products other than those listed in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 is established on the basis of the weighted average of customs values recorded on the import markets or in the ports of import in the three years immediately preceding the date on which the reference price is fixed.
(5)
There is no need to fix reference prices for all the species covered by the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, and particularly not for those imported from third countries in insignificant volumes.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The reference prices for the 2008 fishing year of fishery products, as referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 1188/90
of 7 May 1990
fixing the guide price and the intervention price for adult bovine animals for the 1990/91 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 571/89 (2), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the guide price for adult bovine animals is fixed, account should be taken both of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community wishes to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the common agricultural policy aims inter alia at ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, at guaranteeing the availability of supplies and at ensuring that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the guide price must be fixed in accordance with
the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC)
N° 805/68;
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) N° 805/68, the Community scale for the classification of carcases of
adult bovine animals, established under Regulation (EEC)
N° 1208/81 (6), is applicable for buying in; whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix the intervention price per 100 kilograms carcase weight for the categories of animal eligible for intervention by referring to a reference quality defined in accordance with the said scale; whereas, in addition, since these are increasingly comparable in terms of their trade value, a single intervention price should be fixed for the said categories of animal and it should be maintained at the level laid down for the previous marketing year,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the guide price for adult bovine animals shall be ECU 200 per 100 kilograms liveweight.
Article 2

Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the beginning of the 1990/91 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
