Commission Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 of 13 October 2006 adopting a plan allocating resources to the Member States to be charged against 2007 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (3) lays down, amongst other things, the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies. These quantities include, as stated in point 9 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 and in the form of authorised intra-Community transfers, 96 712 tonnes of common wheat held by the Hungarian intervention agencies destined for Romania. Under the second subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (4), any quantities that have not been withdrawn from intervention stocks by 30 September in the year of plan implementation are no longer to be allocated to the Member State to which they were assigned. On 5 September 2007 the Romanian authorities informed the Commission that it would be impossible to comply with that deadline. As a result, and in view of the situation on the market in common wheat, that quantity of 96 712 tonnes of common wheat should be recovered and added to the quantity made available for sale under the invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 712/2007.

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), and in particular Article 46(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Point 3 of Part B of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 makes provisions for exceptions as regards the maximum volatile acid content of certain categories of wine.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 (2) lays down certain detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 as regards the maximum total volatile acid content of wine.

The following Article 2a is inserted: ‘Article 2a Principles 1. The compiled HICP is a sample statistic which shall represent the change in prices, on average over the target universe, between the calendar month of the current index and the period to which it is compared. 2. The set of all transactions in the statistical universe can be exhaustively divided into subsets corresponding to the product-offers to which these transactions pertain. They shall be classified according to the four-digit categories and sub-categories given in Annex Ia, which derive from the COICOP international classification and shall be known as COICOP/HICP (classification of individual consumption by purpose adapted to the needs of HICPs). 3. The HICP shall be computed using a formula which is consistent with the Laspeyres-type formula. 4. Consumption segments shall form the fixed objects in the index basket to be followed by the HICP. 5. Prices used in the HICP shall be the purchase prices, which are the prices paid by households to purchase individual goods and services in monetary transactions. 6. Where goods and services have been available to consumers free of charge, and subsequently an actual price is charged, then the change from a zero price to the actual price, and vice versa, shall be taken into account in the HICP. 7. The HICP shall provide a measure of pure change in prices, unaffected by quality change. It shall: (a) reflect the price change on the basis of the changed expenditure of maintaining the consumption pattern of households and the composition of the consumer population in the base or reference period; and (b) be constructed by making appropriate adjustments for observed quality change. Quality adjustments shall serve the reliability, and in particular the representativity of the HICP as a measure of pure price change. 8. Concerning quality change, the judgement shall be based on due evidence of a difference between the specification of a replacement product-offer and the product-offer it replaced in the sample; That is, a difference in the product-offers’ significant price-determining characteristics, such as brand, material or make, that are relevant to the consumer purpose in question. A quality change does not arise when there is a comprehensive annual or less frequent revision of the HICP sample. Its inclusion shall be made by establishing the appropriate chain links. Revisions of the HICP sample do not remove the need to introduce replacement product-offers without delay in between two revisions. 9. The representation of an elementary product group or an elementary aggregate shall be defined by the expenditure weight associated to it. Other weightings may be used within elementary aggregates on the condition that the representativity of the index is ensured. 10. “Reliability” shall be assessed according to “precision”, which refers to the scale of sampling errors, and “representativity” which refers to the lack of bias.’

(2) As a consequence, Additional note 2 to Chapter 15 of the Combined Nomenclature on olive oils should also be adjusted.
