reducing the Community withdrawal compensation for cauliflowers, peaches and nectarines for the 2000/01 marketing year as a result of overruns of the intervention thresholds fixed for the 1999/2000 marketing year
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1097/1999(3) fixes the intervention thresholds for the 1999/2000 marketing year at 112300 tonnes for cauliflowers, 254700 tonnes for peaches and 83700 tonnes for nectarines. Under Article 3 of that Regulation, if the quantity of cauliflowers, peaches or nectarines withdrawn in the period between 1 March 1999 and 28 February 2000 exceeds the threshold fixed, the Community withdrawal compensation laid down in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 2000/01 marketing year is to be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
(2) The information supplied by the Member States indicates that 170502 tonnes of cauliflowers, 314722 tonnes of peaches and 214443 tonnes of nectarines were withdrawn in the 1999/2000 marketing year.
(3) Consequently, the Community withdrawal compensation set by Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 2000/01 marketing year must be reduced by 2,59 % for cauliflowers, 2,36 % for peaches and 15,62 % for nectarines.
(4) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1097/1999 lays down that the consequences of an overrun of the threshold are to apply in the following marketing year. The reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation for cauliflowers, peaches and nectarines should therefore apply in the 2000/01 marketing year.
(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 Community withdrawal compensation for the 2000/01 marketing year shall be:
- EUR 7,73 per 100 kilograms net for cauliflowers,
- EUR 12,16 per 100 kilograms net for peaches,
- EUR 12,47 per 100 kilograms net for nectarines.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/155/EC

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the purity level required of the active substance metazachlor

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
After an examination in which the United Kingdom acted as rapporteur Member State, Commission Directive 2008/116/EC (2) included the active substance metazachlor in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. With regard to that substance, Directive 2008/116/EC has set a maximum level of 0,01 % for toluene as a manufacturing impurity. That level was based on the specification submitted by the notifier.
(2)
The notifier has asked for an amendment to Directive 91/414/EEC raising that maximum level to 0,05 %. It submitted the necessary information in support of its request. On 2 February 2009 the rapporteur Member State presented an addendum (3) to the draft assessment report concluding that a maximum level of 0,05 % does not cause any risk in addition to the risks already taken into account in the Commission review report for that substance.
(3)
The maximum level of toluene as a manufacturing impurity of metazachlor should therefore be raised to 0,05 %.
(4)
It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(5)
Since this Directive should start to apply on the same date as Directive 2008/116/EC, this Directive should enter into force as soon as possible.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
In row 223 (metazachlor) of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, in column 4 (purity), ‘0,01 %’ is replaced by ‘0,05 %’.

Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 January 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
