COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1500/98 of 14 July 1998 establishing projected regional reference amounts and the value of the advance payments to be made to producers of soya beans, rapeseed and sunflower seed for the 1998/99 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2309/97 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 5(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 specifies that the Commission is to establish a projected regional reference amount for each region identified in a Member State's regionalisation plan on the basis of a comparison between the cereal or oilseed yield for that region and the Community's average cereal or oilseed yield;
Whereas Article 11(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 specifies that producers who apply for an oilseeds compensatory payment are entitled to an advance payment of no more than 50 % of the appropriate projected regional reference amount; whereas, however, the estimated area under oilseeds for the 1998 harvest and the expected prices for the 1998/99 marketing year suggest that if, as is likely, the penalty applied in 1997/98 is carried over, the level of the advance payment fixed at 50 % of the projected regional reference amount is liable to exceed the final reference amount; whereas the projected amounts of the penalty applied in 1997/98 should be reduced and the advance payment should be set at 50 % of the projected regional amounts thus adjusted;
Whereas the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. A short explanation is given in Annex I of how the projected regional reference amounts referred to in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 are calculated.

Article 2
The advance payments to be made to producers of oilseeds under Article 11(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 for the 1998/99 marketing year shall be equal to 50 % of the appropriate projected regional reference amount given in Annex II.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1045/88
of 18 April 1988
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3985/87 (2), established a goods nomenclature based on the harmonized system, hereinafter called the combined nomenclature, to meet, at one and the same time, the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the external trade statistics of the Community and fixed the autonomous and conventional rates of duty of the said Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, when the Common Customs Tariff was transposed into the harmonized system, in order to establish the conventional rate of duty for products falling within CN code 8527 32 00, account was taken only of clock radios previously free of duty at the conventional rate under Common Customs Tariff subheading 85.15 A III b) 2 bb) 11 (3); whereas, however, CN code 8527 32 00 also covers tuners and tuner amplifiers, combined with a clock, previously liable to duty at the conventional rate of 14 % under Common Customs Tariff subheading 85.15 A III b) 2 bb) 55;
Whereas, to rectify this error, it is necessary to amend Annex I of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 to take account of this latter rate of duty,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. In Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, CN code 8527 32 00 is replaced by the following:
1.2.3,4.5 // // // // // 'CN code // Description // Rate of duty // Supplementary unit // 1.2.3.4.5 // // // autonomous (%) // conventional (%) // // // // // // // 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // // // // // // 8527 32 // Not combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus but combined with a clock: // // // // 8527 32 10 // Alarm clock radios // 22 // free // p/st // 8527 32 90 // 1987, p. 1.
