THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3383/94 of 19 December 1994 on certain procedures for applying the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas Annex XIIa to the European Agreement with Bulgaria (2) lays down the quantities of sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat that may be imported under the preferential scheme within tariff quotas; whereas those quotas were opened for the second half of 1995 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1440/95 of 26 June 1995 opening Community tariff quotas for the second half of 1995 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat falling within CN codes ex 0104 10, ex 0104 20 and 0204 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2581/95 (4);

Whereas the Europe Agreement also provides for the possibility of Bulgaria converting limited quantities of live animal exports into quantities of meat; whereas the Republic of Bulgaria has informed the Commission of its intention to convert the quantity of animals not yet used in 1995 into quantities of meat; whereas this conversion concerns only a limited portion of the quantities of those products originating in Bulgaria that may enter the Community under Community tariff quotas and whereas, therefore, it should be accepted;

Whereas, as a result, it is necessary to adapt the quantities for the second half of 1995 laid down for Bulgaria in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1440/95;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1440/95, the quantity of live animals for Bulgaria is hereby replaced by '2 498`, and the quantity of meat for Bulgaria is replaced by '1 002,5`.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 of 10 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1164/95 (4), and in particular Article 16 (1) and (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 provides that where the quantities of bananas originating in one and the same ACP State listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for which import licences are applied for exceed the quantity fixed for the period in question, the Commission is to set a single reduction percentage to all licence applications mentioning that country of origin;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2710/95 (5) fixes quantities for imports of bananas into the Community for the first quarter of 1996 for imports originating in the ACP States under the traditional quantities imported;

Whereas, for Cameroon the quantities requested for traditional imports of ACP bananas during the first quarter of 1996 are higher than the quantities fixed by Regulation (EC) No 2710/95; whereas, as a result, a single reduction percentage should be fixed for each application indicating this country of origin pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93;

Whereas this Regulation should take effect without delay in order to allow licences to be issued as quickly as possible,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the first quarter of 1996, as regards licence applications for traditional imports of bananas originating in the ACP States, import licences shall be issued:

- for the quantity indicated in the licence application, multiplied by a reduction coefficient of 0,9999 for applications indicating the origin Cameroon,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 of 27 July 1994 establishing a quota system in relation to the production of potato starch (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95 (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 97/95 of 17 January 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the minimum price and compensatory payment to be paid to potato producers and of Council Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 establishing a quota system in relation to the production of potato starch (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1949/95 (4), fixes, inter alia, the minimum starch content of batches of potatoes delivered to starch manufacturers at 13 %; whereas the second subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of that Regulation also provided that, at the reasoned request from a Member State, a derogation from the rule may be granted, in particular for climatic reasons, down to a starch content of 12,8 %;

Whereas, in the light of the exceptional weather conditions in the potato production regions in summer 1995 characterized by heavy rainfall, and the requests submitted to that effect from certain Member States, the minimum starch content threshold should be lowered, within a limit of 2 % of the quantity of potatoes to be processed by the starch manufacturer, without this derogation entailing an amendment of the starch content scale laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 97/95;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3318/94 (2), and in particular Article 12 (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 provides for the payment of financial compensation to producers' organizations which intervene, on certain conditions, in respect of the products listed in Annex I (A) and (D) to that Regulation; whereas the amount of such financial compensation must be reduced by standard values in the case of products intended for purposes other than human consumption;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 (3) specifies the ways in which the products withdrawn must be disposed of; whereas the value of such products must be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average receipts which may be obtained from such disposal;

Whereas, on the basis of the relevant information on this value, it should be fixed for the 1996 fishing year as shown in the Annex hereto;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3902/92 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1338/95 (5), the body responsible for payment of the financial compensation is that of the Member State in which the producers' organization was recognized; whereas the standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3023/95 of 22 December 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products (first series 1995)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas production in the Community of certain industrial products will remain in the course of 1995 unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type will depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms;

Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 (1) the Council opened, for 1995, Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products, and in particular ferro-chromium containing by weight more than 6 % of carbon (Order No 09.2711), and ferro-chromium containing more than 1,5 % but no more than 4 % by weight of carbon and not more than 70 % of chromium (Order No 09.2799);

Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 1404/95 (2), the Council increased for 1995 Community tariff quotas for ferro-chromium containing by weight more than 6 % of carbon (Order No 09.2711);

Whereas current economic data suggest that the Community demand for non-Community imports of the products in question could in the course of the year exceed the volumes laid down in the above Regulations; whereas the volumes of the quotas in question should therefore be increased;

Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;

Whereas the decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Regulation (EC) No 2878/94 the table shown in Article 1 shall be replaced, for Order Nos 09.2711 and 09.2799, by the following table:
