COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 387/2005
of 8 March 2005
amending (EC) Regulation No 831/97 laying down marketing standards applicable to avocados
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) has recently amended standard FFV-42 concerning the marketing and commercial quality control of avocados. For the sake of clarity and international transparency, account should be taken of such amendments in Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/97 (2).
(2)
Maturity and development of avocados can be assessed by their dry matter contents. In order to exclude fruit unable to ripen, a requirement as to the minimum dry matter content should be introduced.
(3)
Trade in small-sized Hass avocados is growing and meets the demand of certain consumers. It is therefore necessary to decrease the minimum size for avocados of this variety.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 831/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 831/97 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1355/2001
of 4 July 2001
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 laying down detailed rules for the grant of aid for certain grain legumes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 of 30 July 1996 on a specific measure for certain grain legumes(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 811/2000(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1644/96(3) lays down detailed rules for the grant of aid for certain grain legumes. Article 1(a) thereof provides that eligible areas must have been completely sown and harvested and maintained in normal growing conditions.
(2) The exceptional weather conditions which have affected Portugal and certain regions of Spain have not allowed crops to develop normally and produce a significant quantity of seeds, leading to anticipated yields being much lower than normal, making the harvest operation commercially unprofitable. If that operation is not carried out, the producers concerned lose their entitlement to aid per hectare as a result of failure to meet the requirement to harvest.
(3) The situation described above justifies a derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 as regards the requirement to harvest.
(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 the 2001/02 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1644/96, in Portugal and in Spain except in the Autonomous Communities of Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Païs Vasco and Canarias, areas sown with grain legumes not harvested shall remain eligible for the aid provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provided that:
- the areas in question remain free from any other crop up to the normal harvest period for grain legumes,
- all the other conditions referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 are met.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 4 July 2001.

Whereas:
(1)
Article 6(4) of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC allows ACP/EC-OCT cumulation of origin in the case of products falling within Chapter 17 and tariff headings 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 up to an annual quantity of 28 000 tonnes of sugar.

(3)
The Commission must therefore set the reducing coefficient for the issue of import licences and suspend the submission of further licence applications for 2006,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
