COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2503/97 of 15 December 1997 adjusting the maximum annual fishing effort for certain fisheries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2027/95 of 15 June 1995 establishing a system for the management of fishing effort relating to certain Community fishing areas and resources (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 4 thereof,

Whereas the second indent of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2027/95 provides that the Commission, at the request of a Member State, shall take appropriate measures so that the Member State in question can fish its quotas in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 685/95 of 27 March 1995 on the management of fishing effort relating to certain Community fishing areas and resources (2);

Whereas Germany has asked the Commission to adjust the maximum annual fishing effort, for 1997, granted to its vessels in respect of certain quotas which are allocated to it under 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 Council Regulation (EC) No 1974/97 of 7 October 1997 (4);

Whereas this Regulation shall immediately enter into force in order to allow Germany to fish its quota;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The maximum annual fishing effort for Germany in respect of demersal species using fixed gear, as referred to in Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2027/95, is amended, for 1997, as laid down in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2456/97 of 10 December 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2257/92 laying down detailed rules for implementing specific arrangements for supplying Madeira with certain vegetable oils

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2257/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1325/97 (4), establishes the forecast supply balance for certain vegetable oils for Madeira for the 1996/97 marketing year;

Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the requirements for Madeira and in order to avoid a break in the application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance was drawn up for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 by Regulation (EC) No 1325/97; whereas the balance for the whole of the 1997/98 marketing year has been drawn up following the presentation of data on the requirements for Madeira by the Portuguese authorities; whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2257/92 should therefore be amended accordingly;

Whereas the supply balances provided for in the specific supply arrangements are drawn up for the period 1 July to 30 June; whereas the definitive supply balance for the 1997/98 marketing year should therefore apply from the start of that year, i.e. 1 July 1997;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 2257/92 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 1 (1) is replaced by the following:

'1. The quantities of certain vegetable oils in the forecast supply balance for Madeira which qualify for exemption from customs duties on import from third countries or for aid for supply from the rest of the Community shall be as set out in the Annex.`;

2. the Annex hereto is added as an Annex.

Article 2

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

It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1997.

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2575/97 of 15 December 1997 fixing the amount of the flat-rate premium for certain fishery products during the 1998 fishing year (Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4176/88 of 28 December 1988 laying down detailed rules for the grant of a flat-rate aid for certain fishery products and aquaculture products (1) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3516/93 (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas the flat-rate premium should encourage the producers' organizations to prevent the destruction of products withdrawn from the market;

Whereas the amount of the premium must be fixed in such a way as to take account of the interdependence of the markets concerned and of the need to prevent distortion of competition;

Whereas the amount of the premium may not exceed the technical and financial costs of processing and storage recorded during the previous fishing year, the highest costs being disregarded;

Whereas, on the basis of the information concerning the technical and financial costs associated with the concerned operations recorded in the Community, the amount of the premium should be fixed for the 1998 fishing year as shown below;

Whereas 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

For the 1998 fishing year, the amount of the flat-rate premium for the products listed in Annex VI to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 (3) shall be as follows:

ECU 120/tonne, for the first month

ECU 17/tonne, per additional month;

(b) filleting, freezing and storage:

ECU 200/tonne, for the first month

ECU 17/tonne, per additional month.
