COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2094/2005
of 20 December 2005
opening an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to the Community’s international obligations in the context of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (2), the Community has undertaken to import a certain quantity of sorghum into Spain.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal (3), lays down the special additional detailed rules necessary for implementing the invitations to tender.
(3)
Taking into account the current market demand in Spain, an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum is appropriate.
(4)
Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) (4) provides in particular for a 60 % reduction in the duty applicable to imports of 100 000 tonnes of sorghum per calendar year, and a 50 % reduction over this quota. Cumulation of this benefit and the benefit resulting from the invitation to tender for the reduction in the import duty would disturb the Spanish cereals market. Such cumulation must therefore be ruled out.
(5)
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
1. An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import duty referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 on sorghum to be imported into Spain.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2336/95 of 26 September 1995 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards the set-aside requirement for the 1996/97 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of their arable land; whereas this percentage should be re-examined to take account of production and market developments;
Whereas, since the introduction of the system, the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of a reduction in production and an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the favourable world market situation, has resulted in a significant reduction in intervention cereal stocks;
Whereas on the basis of a forecast supply balance for 1995/96, it appears that the equilibrium sought between production and internal and external outlets may be maintained whilst increasing Community production by returning to cultivation a certain amount of land that has been set-aside; whereas, in order to achieve this objective in an efficient manner, the two rates for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1996 should therefore be set temporarily for the 1996/97 marketing year at a level lower than that resulting from the provisions in force,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at 10 %.
2. Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement for any form of set-aside other than that based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at 10 %.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to set-aside for the 1996/97 marketing year only.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
