(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.

(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1503/96 results in an adjustment of the import duties as set out in the Annexes to this Regulation,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 prohibiting the export of certain goods and services to Afghanistan, strengthening the flight ban and extending the freezing of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban of Afghanistan (1), and in particular the first indent of Article 7(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.

(2) On 23 June 2004, the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to amend the list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply. Annex I should therefore be amended accordingly.

(3) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force immediately,

of 21 June 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 as regards aid for the local production of crop products in the outermost regions of the European Union

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Azores and Madeira and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 (Poseima) (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 (2) laid down the amounts and maximum quantities applicable to aid for the local marketing of products referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001.

(2) Implementation of this measure in 2003 showed that the use made of the maximum quantities varies widely among products. It was noted that the quantities set for some products are systematically under-used, while applications for other products exceed the maximum quantities, resulting in a reduction coefficient being applied. It would seem justified, therefore, to redistribute the quantities among products in such a way as to follow the trends observed and adjust the amounts of aid for certain products, in accordance with the experience gained and results recorded, in order to make better use of resources.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 should be amended accordingly.

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of all the management committees for the products concerned,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 43/2003 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply:

(a) as regards the quantities laid down in column III of the new Annex IV, from 1 January 2004;

(b) as regards the amounts of aid laid down in columns IV and V of the new Annex IV, to contracts concluded after its entry into force.
