COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 964/86

of 25 March 1986

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 870/85 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (4),

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1716/84 (6), laid down rules relating to the valuation of products in store at the end of the financial year;

Whereas the second subparagraph of the said Article 8 should be amended so that at any point in the financial year the Commission can fix the value of intervention stocks at a level which takes into account losses to be sustained on their disposal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The second subparagraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 is hereby replaced by the following:

'If, for a given product, the estimated selling price for products in public intervention storage is lower than the book value they had on the first day of the financial year, a reduction in their value may be decided on in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.

The reduction in value shall not be more than the difference between the buying-in price and the price obtained on disposal of the products concerned. The amount of the reduction shall be fixed for the products concerned in ECU per tonne.'

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 997/86

of 4 April 1986

suspending advance fixing of the subsidy for colza, rape and sunflower seed

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 27 (4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1594/83 of 14 June 1983 on the subsidy for oilseeds (3), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8 (3) thereof,

Whereas, under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1594/83, the application of the provisions concerning advance fixing may be suspended if the volume of applications for advance fixing of the subsidy does not appear to be related to normal outlets for seeds harvested in the Community and if the certificate applied for has not yet been issued;

Whereas, in view of the monetary situation and the uncertainty reigning on the exchange markets, there is a danger that the continuation of the present system could give rise to speculative operations;

Whereas the above situation requires that application of the provisions concerning advance fixing of subsidies for the products concerned be temporarily suspended and that, in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1594/83, certificates should not be issued where the application is lodged between 4 and 8 April 1986,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Advance fixing of the subsidy for colza, rape and sunflower seed is hereby suspended in the case of certificates the application for which is lodged between 4 and 8 April 1986.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 April 1986.

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

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1174/86

of 21 April 1986

amending Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 concerning the Community arrangements applicable to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man for trade in agricultural products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 1 (2) of Protocol No 3 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas certain veterinary provisions in respect of Northern Ireland and relating to foot-and-mouth disease and trade in live animals, fresh meat and meat-based products have been liberalized;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (1) linked the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man to Northern Ireland for purposes of the veterinary sector;

Whereas, in order to minimize the risk of disease, it is necessary to permit these islands to maintain their veterinary rules in relation to foot-and-mouth disease which have been in force hitherto,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 3

From 1 September 1973, the Community provisions in the following fields:

- veterinary legislation,

- animal health legislation,

- plant health legislation,

- marketing of seeds and seedlings,

- food legislation,

- feedingstuffs legislation,

- quality and marketing standards,

shall apply under the same conditions as in the United Kingdom to the products referred to in Article 1 imported into the islands or exported from the islands to the Community.

However, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man may retain, concerning trade in live animals, fresh meat and meat-based products, the specific provisions in relation to foot-and-mouth disease which they apply to imports. Such provisions shall be no more restrictive than those in force on 30 September 1985'.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Done at Luxembourg, 21 April 1986.

For the Council

The President
