THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Convention on the Establishment of a European Police Office (EuropolConvention)(1), and in particular Article 43(1) thereof,

Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of Denmark(2),

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

Declaration by the Council

The Council agrees that the instruction of Europol to deal with "fraud" as one of the forms of crime referred to in the Annex to the Europol Convention confers, as far as tax fraud and customs fraud is concerned, competences to Europol only in the field of improvement of the effectiveness and cooperation of the competent authorities of the Member States responsible for the functioning of the criminal law enforcement system and not their authorities responsible for ensuring the levying of taxes and customs duties.
REGULATION No 49 OF THE COUNCIL amending the date on which certain instruments relating to the common agricultural policy are to enter into force

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42, 43 and 44 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas Council Regulations Nos 19 to 23, 25 and 26 relating to the common agricultural policy and the Council Decision on minimum prices lay down that most of their provisions shall be applicable from 1 July 1962;

Whereas the Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to permit effective application of the above instruments and of the implementing provisions adopted by the Council or the Commission, some of which could not be adopted until shortly before 1 July 1962;

Whereas, however, the marketing year for cereals in the Community begins, except in the case of maize, on or around 1 July ; whereas, in respect of the 1962/63 marketing year it may therefore prove necessary to take measures on the internal market from 1 July 1962;

(f) Article 8 of Council Regulation No 25 on the financing of the common agricultural policy;

(g) Article 5 of Council Regulation No 26 on the application of certain rules of competition to the production of, and trade in, agricultural products;

(h) Article 11 of the Council Decision on minimum prices.

2. The date 29 July 1962 shall be substituted for 30 June 1962 in Article 9 (2) (a) of Council Regulation No 23.

3. For the purpose of applying Council Regulations Nos 19 to 22, however, the first year of implementation of the system of levies shall be deemed to end on 30 June 1962.

4. As from 1 July 1962 the governments of the Member States shall take all such steps as may be necessary on the internal market to give effect to the provisions of Council Regulation No 19 on the common organisation of the market in cereals from 30 July 1962.

Article 2

REGULATION No 118/63/EEC OF THE COUNCIL of 5 November 1963 amending Regulation No 17

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 87 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;

Whereas under Article 7 of Council Regulation No 17 (2), the prohibition laid down in Article 85 (1) of the Treaty applies only for the period fixed by the Commission in respect of agreements, decisions and concerted practices already in existence at the date of entry into force of that Regulation if they have been notified to the Commission within the prescribed time limits and if the undertakings and associations of undertakings concerned cease to give effect to them or make appropriate amendments to them ; whereas this provision also applies to agreements, decisions and concerted practices already in existence at the date of entry into force of the said Regulation and falling within Article 4 (2) thereof, if they were notified before 1 January 1964;

Whereas the amendments that may have to be made to such agreements, decisions and concerted practices may be more readily assessed after examination of a number of agreements, decisions and concerted practices already notified to the Commission has made possible a more precise definition of the procedures for implementing Article 85 of the Treaty ; whereas it is therefore desirable to extend the time limit, currently fixed at 31 December 1963 in accordance with Article 7 (2);

Whereas such an extension does not prevent action from being taken under Article 9 (2) of Regulation No 17 in respect of infringements of the provisions of Article 85 of the Treaty nor action under Article 22 of the said Regulation at any time to make subject to notification those of the agreements, decisions and concerted practices falling within Article 4 (2) thereof which would particularly affect the development of the common market;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 7 (2) of Regulation No 17 for the words "before 1 January 1964" there shall be substituted the words "before 1 January 1967".

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

amending Council Regulation No 423/67/EEC, 6/67/Euratom of 25 July 1967 determining the emoluments of members of the EEC and EAEC Commissions and of the High Authority who have not been appointed members of the Single Commission of the European Communities

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities, (1) and in particular Article 34 thereof;

Whereas it is for the Council to determine the emoluments of former members of the High Authority and of the Commissions of the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community who, having ceased to hold office, have not been appointed members of the Commission;

REGULATION (EEC) No 770/68 OF THE COUNCIL of 18 June 1968 on the advance fixing of levies on sugar

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC 1 of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar, and in particular Article 15 (3) thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas Article 15 (3) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC provides that the import levy on sugar and molasses may be fixed in advance under conditions to be decided upon by the Council;

Whereas advance fixing of the levy facilitates importation into the Community ; whereas a feature of the Community sugar market in general is the existence of surpluses ; whereas, in these circumstances, the levy need only be fixed in advance where importation of the product concerned is necessary to maintain supplies of sugar or molasses to the Community;

Whereas, in order to avoid possible disturbances on the internal market, the levy should be increased where appropriate by a premium calculated on the basis of the difference between the forward delivery price and the c.i.f. price, where an import licence makes forward purchases possible;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. The import levy on products listed in Article 1 (1) (a) and (c) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC shall be fixed in advance - for sugar, if importation is necessary to ensure global supplies for the Community;

- for molasses, if importation is necessary to ensure supplies to specified areas of the Community.

2. The period of validity of the import licence referred to in Article 15 (2) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC may be limited to the period during which imports are necessary to ensure the supplies referred to in paragraph 1.

3. A decision shall be taken to terminate advance fixing of the levy when the quantities available, combined with import for which licences have been issued, are sufficient to ensure that supplies of sugar or molasses cover foreseeable consumption in the Community.

Article 2

1. A premium shall be added to the levy in the case of the products referred to in Article 1 for which the period of validity of the licence makes forward purchases possible.

2. The amount of the premium shall be calculated on the basis of the difference between the forward delivery price and the c.i.f. price determined in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1968.

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