COMMISSION DECISION

of 22 November 1988

adjusting the weightings applicable from 1 May 1988 to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities serving in non-member countries

(89/64/EEC, EURATOM, ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities,

Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 2339/88 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,

Whereas, pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 2176/88 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 January 1988 to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment;

Whereas, the Commission has made a number of adjustments to these weightings in recent months (4) pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations;

Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 May 1988 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain non-member countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since the weightings were last laid down or adjusted,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

With effect from 1 May 1988 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are hereby adjusted as shown in the Annex.

The exchange rates for the payment of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the budget of the European Communities during the month preceding the date on which this Decision takes effect.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 21 December 1988

amending Decision 87/293/EEC authorizing methods for grading pig carcases in Ireland

(Only the English text is authentic)

(89/52/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (4), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorized to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements warrant this;

Whereas in Ireland the technical requirements relating to the use of the grading method and, consequently, commercial practice, lead sometimes to the removal of the kidneys, the flare fat and the diaphragm (including the thick skirt); in other cases the tongue sometimes remains at the carcase; whereas this should be taken into account in adjusting to the weight for standard presentation; whereas Commission Decision 87/293/EEC (5) should be amended accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision 87/293/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

1. The following Article 1a is inserted:

'Article 1a

Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the flare fat, the kidneys and the diaphragm (including the thick skirt) may be removed from pig carcases or such carcases may be presented with the tongue before being weighed and graded; in such cases, the weight of the warm carcase shall be calculated by reference to the scale of percentage adjustments shown in Annex II.'

2. The present Annex becomes Annex I.

3. The Annex to this Decision is added as Annex II.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas the German Government forwarded a programme for the livestock and meat sector in Hamburg on 23 July 1985 and supplied additional information on 18 March and 16 September 1986 and 18 January 1987;

Whereas the said programme relates to the rationalization and modernization of abattoirs, cutting and refrigerating facilities and cold stores and is intended to make the sector more competitive and increase the value of its products; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme contains sufficient information, as required by Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives laid down in Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in respect of the livestock and meat sector in Hamburg; whereas the time allowed for implementation of the programme does not exceed the limits referred to in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

(89/138/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (3), second and fourth sub-paragraphs thereof,

Having regard to the request made by the Kingdom of Spain,

Whereas Article 13 (1) of Directive 70/458/EEC provides that official acceptance granted to varieties of vegetable species in a Member State before 1 July 1972 shall be valid until 30 June 1982 at the latest;

Whereas Directive 88/380/EEC provides that:

- in the case of varieties for which acceptance has been granted before 1 July 1972, or, with regard to Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom, before 1 January 1973, this period may be extended until 30 June 1990 for individual varieties, where official measures organized on a Community basis have been taken before 1 July 1982 in order to ensure that the conditions for the renewal of their acceptance or for the acceptance of varieties derived from them are met,

- with regard to Greece, Spain and Portugal, the expiry of the acceptance period for certain varieties for which acceptance has been granted in those Member States before 1 January 1986 may, at the request of those Member States, also be fixed for 30 June 1990;

Whereas, by Decision 89/7/EEC (3), the Commission listed certain varieties which satisfy the abovementioned conditions and determined that their official acceptance is valid until 30 June 1990 at the latest;

Whereas it appears that the carrot variety 'Royal Chantenay', which is officially accepted in three Member States, including Spain, also satisfies the said conditions and should accordingly be added to the list of varieties whose official acceptance is valid, pursuant to Decision 89/7/EEC, until that date;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In the Annex to Decision 89/7/EEC, in the entry relating to the species Daucus carota L. (carrot), 'Royal Chantenay' is added after 'Parijse Markt'.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
