amending Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Under the distillation of wine to produce potable alcohol, opened in the Community each year, producers are required to deliver their wine for distillation and distillers must distil the wine before a specified date.

(2) The public storage facilities in some Member States are full and consequently the public authorities can no longer accept deliveries of alcohol from the distillers, with the result that the storage facilities of certain distillers are also full. The lack of storage capacity prevents them from accepting delivery of new wine for distillation into potable alcohol before the date laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 625/2003(4).

(3) To rectify this situation, the date by which wine must be delivered for distillation and the date by which wine must be distilled should be postponed for one-and-a-half months.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should be amended accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 63a of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is hereby amended as follows:

(a) the following second subparagraph is added to paragraph 8:"For the 2002/03 wine year the date in the first subparagraph shall be 31 August of the following wine year.";

(b) the following second subparagraph is added to paragraph 10:"For the 2002/03 wine year the date in the first subparagraph shall be 15 November of the following wine year."

Article 2

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

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

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:

(1) To maintain the sum of two areas allocated to the two uses of cotton leads to a lack of data or to estimated data, or to a double count. Therefore, it is necessary to select only one area.

(2) It is appropriate to know in a more precise manner the nature and the areas of industrial crops.

(3) A clarification of the fodder statistics and updating of the classification are necessary to obtain quality statistics.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics, established by Council Decision 72/279/CE(3),

(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1779/2002 of 4 October 2002 on the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States(3) set out the version valid on 1 January 2003.

(2) The alphabetical coding of countries and territories is based on the ISO alpha 2 standard in force as far as it is compatible with the requirements of Community legislation.

(3) Changes affecting some codes make it necessary to draw up a new version of the nomenclature.

(4) It is nevertheless preferable to provide for a transition period to allow certain Member States to adapt to the amendments made; it is essential for purposes of simplification for this transition period to end when the provisions revising the rules on the Single Administrative Document come into force.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 666/2003

of 11 April 2003

provisionally authorising the use of certain micro-organisms in feedingstuffs

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1756/2002(2), and in particular Articles 3 and 9e(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 70/524/EEC requires that no additive may be put into circulation unless a Community authorisation has been granted.

(2) In the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to Directive. 70/524/EEC, which include micro-organisms, provisional authorisation of a new additive for use in feedingstuffs may be given if the conditions laid down that Directive are satisfied, and if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a) of that Directive. Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period not exceeding four years.

(3) The assessment of the application for authorisation submitted, in respect of the micro-organism preparation, specified in the Annex to this Regulation, shows that the conditions referred to in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied.

(4) The micro-organism preparation should therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a period of four years.

(5) The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion on the safety of the preparation, which belongs to the group "Micro-organisms", under the conditions set out in the Annex to this Regulation for piglets and pigs for fattening.

(6) The assessment of the application shows that certain procedures are required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexe. However, such protection is assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(3).

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION

Article 1

The additive belonging to the group "Microorganisms" referred to in the Annex is authorised for use as an additive in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid down in the Annex.

Article 2

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

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