COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 932/97 of 26 May 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (2), 13 (11) and 16 (1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice (3) and in particular Articles 9 (2), 13 (15) and 16 (11) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1527/96 (5), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice;

Whereas the security of ECU 5 per tonne referred to in Article 10 (a) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 covers licences to which refunds and export taxes do not apply; whereas, however, Article 10 (a) of that Regulation does not cover all cases of exports without refunds which might arise where the refund is neither fixed nor fixed in advance because it is forgone pursuant to Article 2a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 815/97 (7); whereas this must therefore be spelled out;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 should be amended accordingly;

Whereas 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

Article 10 (a) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 is hereby replaced by the following:

'(a) ECU 1 per tonne in the case of import licences to which the fourth indent of Article 10 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 does not apply and of products covered by Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 (*) and ECU 5 per tonne in the case of export licences for which no refund or export tax is fixed on the day the application is submitted or in the case of export licences without advance fixing of the export tax or refund;

(*) OJ No L 329, 30. 12. 1995, p. 18.`

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1039/97 of 9 June 1997 deferring the final date for sowing certain arable crops in certain regions in the 1997/98 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 922/97 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 stipulates that, to qualify for the compensatory payments for cereals, protein crops and linseed under the support system for certain arable crops, producers must have sown the seed at the latest by 15 May preceding the relevant harvest;

Whereas Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 658/96 of 9 April 1996 on certain conditions for granting compensatory payments under the support system for producers of certain arable crops (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 843/97 (4), fixes 15 May as the final date for oilseeds;

Whereas, because of the particular weather conditions this year, the final dates for sowing seeds fixed for Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, France, Finland, Italy, the United Kingdom and Sweden cannot be complied with in all cases; whereas, in consequence, the time limit for sowing cereals and/or oilseeds, and/or protein crops and/or linseed for the 1997/98 marketing year should, where necessary, be deferred for certain specific regions; whereas to do so Regulations (EEC) No 1765/92 and (EC) No 658/96 should be waived as permitted by the seventh indent of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The final dates for crop sowings in Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, France, Finland, Italy, the United Kingdom and Sweden for the 1997/98 marketing year are fixed in the Annex hereto for the crops and regions indicated therein.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 15 May 1997.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 9 June 1997.
