COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1064/2008

of 29 October 2008

amending Regulation (EC) No 957/2008 derogating for the 2008/09 quota period from Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sector of poultrymeat originating in Brazil, Thailand and other third countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 144(1) and 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

(2) In view of the continuing uncertainty regarding the conditions for issuing certificates of origin for products originating in Brazil and given the fact that additional time is needed to clarify the situation for operators with regard to those conditions, the application period for the quota subperiod in question should, at this stage, be postponed by a further month for imports from Brazil.

(4) As the application period for the next subperiod is due to begin on 1 November 2008, it is essential for this Regulation to apply from that date.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1214/2008

of 5 December 2008

fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2008/2009

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 162(3) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 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 (EC) No 1670/2006 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 is to express 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) According to the information provided by Ireland in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2007, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2007 was five years.

(3) The coefficients for the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009 should therefore be fixed accordingly.

(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2008/2009,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1207/2008

of 28 November 2008

amending Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 and Article 299(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (2) allows derogations from Article 13 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). That Article provides for a general scheme to manage entries into the fleet as well as exits from the fleet.

(2) Article 2(5) of Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 fixes the period of validity of the derogation from the entry/exit scheme for fishing vessels having received public aid for renewal. That period was originally set at 31 December 2007 and was than extended until 31 December 2008 following the political agreement reached in the Council on 19 June 2006 concerning the European Fisheries Fund.

(3) The Commission act allowing the Member States concerned to grant State aid was adopted later than foreseen. Given the fact that the interested shipyards have a limited capacity, a full implementation of the political agreement reached in the Council on 19 June 2006 becomes impossible within the deadline of 31 December 2008.

(4) It is, therefore, appropriate to extend the deadline to 2011 for the derogation set out in Article 2(5) of Regulation (EC) No 639/2004.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 2(5) shall be replaced by the following: ‘5. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, for fishing vessels having received public aid for renewal, the derogation in paragraph 1(a) will cease to apply three years after the public aid for renewal has been granted and in any case not later than 31 December 2011.’

2. Article 6 shall be replaced by the following: ‘Article 6 Reporting The Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Regulation no later than 30 June 2012.’

Article 2

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

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 28 November 2008. For the Council The President M. BARNIER
