COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2619/97 of 22 December 1997 concerning the stopping of fishing for Greenland halibut by vessels flying the flag of Portugal

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 406/97 of 20 December 1996 laying down for 1997 certain conservation and management measures for fishery resources in the Regulatory Area as defined in the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North West Atlantic Fisheries (3), provides for Greenland halibut quotas for 1997;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of Greenland halibut in the waters of NAFO zone 3LMNO by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal have reached the quota allocated for 1997; whereas Portugal has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 24 November 1997; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2531/97 of 16 December 1997 amending for the 14th time Regulation (EC) No 413/97 adopting exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in the Netherlands

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in the Netherlands were adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 413/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2391/97 (4), on account of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in that country;

Whereas, in view of the continuing veterinary and trade restrictions introduced by the Dutch authorities, the number of fattening pigs which may be delivered to the competent authorities should be increased, thereby permitting the continuation of the exceptional measures in the weeks to come;

Whereas heavy pigs, slaughtered at present in the zones in which the commercial restrictions have been recently lifted, receive a reduced market price; whereas it is therefore justified to introduce a ceiling for the aid for fattening pigs weighing more than 140 kilograms, eligible for the aid provided for by Regulation (EC) No 413/97, in order to ensure an equal treatment of heavy pigs put on the market freely and heavy pigs under the said aid;

Whereas the rapid application of exceptional market support measures is one of the means of combating the spread of classical swine fever; whereas it is therefore justified to apply the provisions of this Regulation as from the date of its publication;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 413/97 is hereby amended as follows:

1. the following paragraph 6 is added to Article 4:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2634/97 of 18 December 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (3) provides for the granting of export refunds; whereas exports of live animals benefiting from Community funds should be carried out in such a way as to respect the welfare of the animals concerned; whereas experience shows that this is not always the case; whereas it should therefore be stipulated that the payment of export refunds shall be subject to compliance with the animal welfare standards as set out in Community legislation concerning animal transport and in particular Council Directive 91/628/EEC of 19 November 1991 on the protection of animals during transport (4); whereas it is therefore necessary to amend the said Article 13 accordingly;

Whereas it is necessary, for practical reasons, to provide that the Commission will lay down detailed implementing rules for the application of these rules to imports into third countries,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 is hereby amended as follows:

1. In paragraph 9 the following subparagraph shall be added:

'Moreover, the payment of the refund for exports of live animals shall be subject to compliance with the provisions established in Community legislation concerning animal welfare and, in particular, the protection of animals during transport`.

2. In paragraph 12 the following subparagraph shall be added:

'With regard to paragraph 9, last subparagraph, the detailed rules for the application may also include conditions concerning, in particular, imports into third countries`.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 provides for the establishment for the beef and veal sector of the quantities of the specific supply balances for the Azores and Madeira regarding beef and veal and pure-bred breeding animals;

Whereas the quantities in the forecast supply balance for those products are fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1265/97 (4);

Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the requirements of Madeira, and so as not to interrupt application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance was drawn up for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 by Regulation (EC) No 1265/97; whereas as a result of the presentation by the Portuguese authorities of information on the needs of Madeira, it was possible to establish the balance for the entire 1997/98 marketing year; whereas the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 should thus be replaced by the Annexes to this Regulation;

Whereas the supply arrangements are laid down for the period 1 July to 30 June; whereas the definitive supply balance for the 1997/98 marketing year should therefore apply from the start of that year, i.e. 1 July 1997;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
