COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1305/97 of 4 July 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 613/97 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as regards the conditions for granting compensatory payments under the aid scheme for rice producers in respect of the deadline for sowing

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 8 (d) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 613/97 (2) requires that, in order to be eligible for compensatory payment, sowing must be completed by 31 May except in Portugal and Guyana where the deadlines are later;

Whereas, because of climate conditions, postponement of that deadline for Spain for the 1997/98 marketing year is justifiable; whereas, however, this postponement should not compromise the efficiency of the producer support arrangements nor undermine the control system introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (4);

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

The first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 613/97 is replaced by the following:

'To qualify for the compensatory payment for the 1997/98 marketing year, the area must be sown by 31 May preceding the harvest in question at the latest, except in Portugal and Spain where the final date shall be 30 June.`

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 June 1997.

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1324/97 of 9 July 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 1325/96 establishing the supply balance for the Canary Islands in the rice products sector, and laying down detailed rules for the adjustment of aid for products coming from the Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 3 (4) thereof,

Whereas the common detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to the Canary Islands introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2883/94 (4);

Whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1325/96 (5) provides for the aid granted for the supply to the Canary Islands of products from the Community market to be adjusted on the basis of the difference between the buying-in intervention prices valid in the month of the application for the aid certificate and in the month of drawing of the certificate respectively; whereas that adjustment has lost its justification since the implementation of Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 which provide, inter alia, for the issuing of the aid certificate on submission of the purchase invoice and the transport document drawn up in the name of the applicant for the certificate; whereas, therefore, that adjustment mechanism should be abolished;

Whereas, on the basis of information supplied by the competent authorities, the quantities listed in the forecast supply balance adopted for the 1996/97 marketing year should be increased to take account of the needs of the Canary Islands;

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

Regulation (EC) No 1325/96 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 2 is deleted;

2. the Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

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

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1655/97 of 20 August 1997 concerning the stopping of fishing for herring by vessels flying the flag of Germany

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 686/97 (2), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 390/97 of 20 December 1996 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1997 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 711/97 (4), provides for herring 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 herring in the waters of ICES divisions I and II by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany have reached the quota allocated for 1997; whereas Germany has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 6 August 1997; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of herring in the waters of ICES divisions I and II by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Germany for 1997.

Fishing for herring in the waters of ICES divisions I and II by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply with effect from 6 August 1997.

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