Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 (2) fixes for 2005 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required.

(2) Pursuant to new scientific advice, the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission has adopted a recommendation increasing the Community’s fishing opportunities for herring in Subdivisions 30 and 31 of the Baltic Sea by 15 000 tonnes to 86 856 tonnes. The increase should be implemented.

(3) In accordance with corrected catch statistics, Lithuania should have access to fishing opportunities of 10 tonnes of Greenland halibut in Division IIa (Community waters) and Sub-areas IV, VI (Community waters and international waters). The corrected figure should therefore be implemented.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1962/2005

of 30 November 2005

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 as regards the determination of the refund rate for milk and milk products in the case of supplies as referred to in Articles 36 and 44 of that Regulation and carried out from 1 to 16 June 2005

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), and in particular Article 31(14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) As from 17 June 2005, Commission Regulation (EC) No 909/2005 of 16 June 2005 fixing the export refunds for milk and milk products (2) no longer provides for export refunds on supplies as referred to in Articles 36 and 44 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3).

(2) In accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, Member States may authorise exporters to follow a procedure whereby the last day of the month is used to determine the rate of refund applicable to supplies as referred to in Articles 36 and 44 of that Regulation loaded each month. It is therefore not possible to determine the rate of refund applicable to supplies of milk and milk products carried out under that procedure from 1 to 16 June 2005.

(3) Entitlement to the refund on supplies carried out under the procedure provided for in Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, before the date of the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 909/2005, should not be affected.

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