Commission Regulation (EC) No 1377/2000

of 28 June 2000

amending Regulation (EC) No 1432/94 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat 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 pigmeat and certain other agricultural products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 774/94 of 29 March 1994 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas for high-quality beef, and for pigmeat, poultrymeat, wheat and meslin, and brans, sharps and other residues(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2198/95(2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(3), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94(4), and in particular Article 22 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1432/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2068/96(6), lays down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the import arrangements provided for in Regulation (EC) No 774/94.

(2) The utilisation of import quotas for pigmeat has been generally low in recent years and the relatively high security for import licences may be one discouraging factor in trade. In order to facilitate trade of pigmeat and to harmonise the levels of securities for import licences within the meat sectors it is necessary to review the level of security set in Regulation (EC) No 1432/94.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1432/94 is replaced by the following:

"Article 6

A security of EUR 20 per 100 kilograms shall be lodged for import licence applications for all products referred to in Article 1."

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 2000.

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

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the grant of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder intended for animal feed and the sale of such skimmed-milk powder

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1040/2000(2), and in particular Articles 10 and 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Pursuant to Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the grant of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder intended for animal feed and the sale of such skimmed-milk powder(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1421/2000(4), the grant of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder processed into compound feedingstuffs is subject to the requirement to incorporate not less than 50 kilograms of powder per 100 kilograms of finished product. In view of the situation on the skimmed-milk powder market, the aforementioned rate of incorporation should be temporarily reduced.

(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notwithstanding Article 5(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999, for compound feedingstuffs manufactured between 1 July 2000 and 31 December 2000, the minimum quantity referred to in paragraph 1(a)(i) shall be 35 kilograms and the content referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 shall be 30 kilograms.

of 5 July 2000

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards eligibility for area payments

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2704/1999(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3) lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards eligibility for area payments. Article 3(1)(c) provides in particular that area payments for arable crops are to be paid solely on areas on which the crop is maintained until at least the beginning of flowering under conditions of normal growth. It further provides that for oilseeds, protein plants, linseed and durum wheat, crops must also be cultivated at least until 30 June prior to the marketing year in question.

(2) As a result of the mixing of rape seed with genetically modified rape seed not covered by an authorisation within the meaning of Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms(4), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/35/EC(5), for reasons beyond their control some producers must destroy their rape plants and therefore cannot maintain their rape crop at least until 30 June 2000 or the beginning of flowering. So as not to unduly penalise those producers, they should be authorised to derogate from Article 3(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999.

(3) 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

Article 3(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 notwithstanding, for the 2000/01 marketing year, areas under rape seed mixed with genetically modified rape seed, not covered by an authorisation within the meaning of Directive 90/220/EEC on which the rape plants have been destroyed before 30 June 2000 or prior to the beginning of flowering where it occurs after 30 June, shall continue to be eligible for the area payment.

Article 2

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

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