determining the extent to which applications lodged in December 2001 for import licences for certain poultrymeat products under the regime provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat and certain other agricultural products can be accepted

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 of 22 June 1994, laying down detailed rules for the application in the poultrymeat sector of the import arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for poultrymeat and certain other agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1043/2001(2), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,

Whereas:

The applications for import licences lodged for the period 1 January to 31 March 2002 are greater than the quantities available and must therefore be reduced by a fixed percentage to ensure a fair distribution,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. Applications for import licences for the period 1 January to 31 March 2002 submitted under Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 shall be met as referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2495/2001

of 19 December 2001

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 laying down common marketing standards for certain fishery products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2578/2000(3), introduced in particular a new scale of size categories for herring of the species Clupea harengus. In the case of Baltic herring this scale establishes a specific size for products taken and landed north of 59° 30', and a single specific size for products taken and landed south of 59° 30'.

(2) The specific size for Baltic herring taken and landed north of 59° 30' no longer meets the real requirements of the market in this area and a larger number of size categories should be defined.

(3) The average weight and length of herring in the Main Basin of the Baltic Sea have in fact fallen considerably over the past 15 years. As a result, the northern type of herring (small size but advanced age) constitutes the bulk of the stock and of catches in the Main Basin. The International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission (IBSFC) has not fixed a minimum size for Baltic herring.

(4) Provision should therefore be made for the marketing of this herring, by fixing a larger number of size categories.

(5) The sizes currently in force in the northern part of the Baltic Sea should therefore be amended. This amendment will constitute a change to the common marketing standards provided for in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2406/96, the size categories applicable to Baltic herring (Clupea harengus) taken and landed north of 59° 30' are hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 January 2002.

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

(3) No statements of objection within the meaning of Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 have been forwarded to the Commission following publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) of the names in the Annex to this Regulation.

(4) The names should therefore be entered in the Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications and hence be protected throughout the Community as protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications.

amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96(1), the Council opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions.

(2) It is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products covered by the above Regulation, and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I.

(3) In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2002 and in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in Annex I to the said Regulation should be replaced by the table in the Annex to this Regulation.

(4) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation the grounds of urgency should be invoked provided for in point 1.3 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities on the role of national parliaments in the European Union.
