setting the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Scotch whisky for the period 2004/05

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),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient expresses the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.

(2) On the basis of the information supplied by the United Kingdom on the period 1 January to 31 December 2003, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2003 was seven years. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2004 to 30 September 2005 should be set accordingly.

(3) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area precludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements with certain third countries abolishing export refunds. In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, this should therefore be taken into account in the calculation of the coefficients for the period 2004/2005,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the period 1 October 2004 to 30 September 2005, the coefficients referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applicable to cereals used in the United Kingdom in the production of Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 October 2004.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 30 September 2004. For the Commission Franz FISCHLER Member of the Commission

Article 2 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 2 1. A Member State may grant recognition to an association of producer organisations recognised in that Member State only on condition that: (a) it comprises a minimum proportion of the total number of producer organisations recognised by the Member State concerned in a given branch; and (b) the value of the production marketed by the association represents at least 20 % of the value of national production in that branch. 2. A Member State may grant recognition to an association of producer organisations recognised in different Member States, on condition that: (a) the association has its official headquarters on the territory of that Member State; (b) the value of the production marketed by the association represents a minimum proportion of the production of a certain fishery product in a given area; (c) the producer organisations forming the association deal with the fishing, production and marketing of jointly exploited fishery resources; and (d) the association performs its tasks without prejudice to the provisions governing the allocation of fishing opportunities among Member States in accordance with Article 20 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (3). 3. The Member State hosting the official headquarters of the association shall set up, in collaboration with the other Member States concerned, the administrative cooperation needed to ensure that the conditions for recognition are respected and to carry out checks on the activities of the association. Such administrative cooperation shall also cover the withdrawal of recognition. 4. An association of producer organisations may not hold a dominant position on a given market unless necessary in pursuance of the goals of Article 33 of the Treaty. 5. Articles 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2318/2001 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the associations of producer organisations recognised in one and more than one Member State. 6. Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 908/2000 shall not apply to the associations of producer organisations recognised in different Member States.’
