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 2846/98(2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2468/1999(3) prohibits fishing for Norway lobster in the waters of ICES divisions II a (EC zone), IV (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands;

(2) on 8 November 1999, Belgium transferred 23 tonnes of Norway lobster from the waters of ICES divisions II a (EC zone), IV (EC zone) to the Netherlands; fishing for Norway lobster in the waters of ICES divisions II a (EC zone), IV (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands should therefore be authorised; Regulation (EC) No 2468/1999 should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

of 27 December 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 2449/96 opening and providing for the administration of certain annual tariff quotas for products covered by CN codes 0714 10 91, 0714 10 99, 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 originating in certain third countries other than Thailand

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations(1), and in particular Article 1(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2449/96(2) lays down the detailed rules of application for certain annual tariff quotas under which products falling within CN codes 0714 10 91, 0714 10 99, 0714 90 11 and 0714 90 19 and originating in certain third countries other than Thailand can be imported into the Community at a reduced rate of duty;

(2) the detailed rules of application provide for the issue of import licences by the competent authorities of the Member States only if the Commission agrees in advance to their issue;

(3) while this provision arose out of a desire for orderly management of the quotas, experience shows that it is unnecessary and complicates administration;

(4) it should therefore be deleted, while making provision so that the Commission has sufficient time when import licences are being issued to intervene with the national authorities where problems arise;

(5) 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

Paragraphs 4 and 5 of Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2449/96 are replaced by the following: "4. Import licences shall be issued on the fourth working day following the date of their lodgement, except where the Commission has informed the authorities of the Member State by fax or telex that the conditions for issuing the licences in question have not been met.

In such cases the Commission, having consulted the authorities in the third country of origin where necessary, shall take the appropriate measures.

5. Import licences for products originating in Indonesia or China in respect of which applications are lodged in December for the following year shall not be issued before the first working day in January of the year in question."

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2000.

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

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2991/94 of 5 December 1994 laying down standards for spreadable fats (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1898/87 of 2 July 1987 on the protection of designations used in the marketing of milk and milk products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 222/98 (3), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 577/97 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2521/98 (5), lays down special provisions as regards the use of the designation 'butter` for the group of products composed of butter, sugar and alcohol; whereas it is recognised that some of those products are eligible for the derogation provided for in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2991/94 regarding traditional designations; whereas those products are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 577/97 as products with a minimum fat content of 34 %;

Whereas, according to additional information supplied by the United Kingdom, it seems that some products having a traditional character have a fat content of the order of 20 %; whereas Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 577/97 should therefore be adapted accordingly;

Whereas the Management Committees concerned have not delivered opinions within the time limits set by their chairmen,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In the first indent of point V of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 577/97, '34 %` is replaced by '20 %`.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2248/98 (4), defined the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and the relevant methods of analysis;

Whereas, in order to harmonise the conditions for preparing samples of olive oil for analysis as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91, that Regulation should require the international standard EN ISO 5555 to be used in addition to standard EN ISO 661, which already applies;
