COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1663/89

of 13 June 1989

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1569/87 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking over of cereals by the intervention agencies

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of the Council of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1213/89 (2), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3495/88 (4), fixes the conditions for the acceptance of cereals into intervention;

Whereas the continuation of the restrictive price policy and the application of the stabilizer mechanisms to cereals may result in difficulties for producers of certain cereals in certain Community regions; whereas, in order to alleviate the impact of those mechanisms on the incomes of those producers, as in 1988/89, provision should be made once again for derogations from certain quality provisions for the 1989/90, 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years;

Whereas 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

Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 2 (4) is replaced by the following:

'4. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, for the 1989/90, 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years:

- a decision may be taken at the request of a Member State for each of the marketing years concerned, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, to fix the maximum moisture content at 15 % for cereals offered for intervention with the exception of durum wheat,

- Greece is hereby authorized to accept for intervention consignments of durum wheat with 14 % of matter which is not basic cereal of unimpaired quality, with at most 7 % impurities consisting of grains and with no more than 5 % of other cereals,

- Spain is hereby authorized to accept for intervention barley harvested in Spain with a minimum specific weight of 62 kilograms/hectolitre. For barley with a specific weight of between 62 and 63 kilograms/hectolitre, a reduction of 1 % shall apply to the intervention buying-in price.'

2. Article 2 (5) is deleted.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1737/89

of 19 June 1989

amending Regulation (EEC) No 4027/88 laying down provisions for the temporary importation of containers

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2096/87 of 13 July 1987 on the temporary importation of containers (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4027/88 (2) laid down provisions for the temporary importation of containers, including provisions relating to the marking of containers; whereas in the case of swap bodies used in combined road-rail transport the requirement that the tare weight be indicated should not apply and it should be permissible to indicate the identity of the owner or operator and of the country to which the swap body belongs by means of a number; whereas in the case of containers for use in air transport there should be no requirement that the country to which the container belongs be indicated, since this can easily be ascertained by means of the owner code;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Customs Procedures with Economic Impact,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4027/88 is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 3

1. The temporary importation provided for in Article 3 (1) of the basic regulation shall apply without customs formalities to containers, whether or not they have been approved for transport under customs seal, on which the following information has been durably marked in an appropriate and clearly visible place:

(a) the identity of the owner or operator;

(b) the identification marks and numbers given to the container by the owner or operator;

(c) the tare weight of the container, including all its permanently fixed equipment; and

(d) the country to which the container belongs.

However, the marking referred to in subparagraph (c) shall not be required in the case of swap bodies used in combined road-rail transport and the marking referred to in subparagraph (d) shall not be required in the case of containers used in air transport.

2. The country to which the container belongs may be shown either in full or by means of the ISO alpha-2 country code provided for in International Standard ISO 3166 or by the distinguishing initials used to indicate the country of registration of motor vehicles in international road traffic or, in the case of swap bodies used in combined road-rail transport, by a number. The identity of the owner or operator may be shown by either his name or an established number or form of indication, symbols such as emblems or flags being excluded.'

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1989.
