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 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1492/2000

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 last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(2), and in particular Articles 10 and 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Pursuant to Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/2000(4), aid is granted for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder processed into compound feedingstuffs provided that at least 50 kg of powder is incorporated in every 100 kg of finished product. In the light of the development of the situation on the market for skimmed-milk powder, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1492/2000(5) reduces the abovementioned rate of incoporation temporarily for the period 1 July to 31 December 2000. For the same reason, the period of application and the scope of that derogation should be extended. For the sake of clarity, Regulation (EC) No 1492/2000 should be repealed and the new conditions governing the derogation should be incorporated in a new regulation.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notwithstanding Article 5(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999, the minimum quantity referred to in paragraph 1(a)(i) of that Article for compound feedingstuffs manufactured between the date of entry into force of this Regulation and 30 April 2001 shall be 25 kg and the content referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of that Article shall be 20 kg.

Article 2

Regulation (EC) No 1492/2000 is hereby repealed.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the fifth 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2846/98(2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 of 17 December 1999 fixing for 2000 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 limitations in catch are required and amending Regulation (EC) No 66/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2579/2000(4), lays down quotas for saithe for 2000.

(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.

(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions IIa (EC waters) Skagerrak and Kattegat, ICES IIIb, c and d (EC waters) and the North Sea by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark have exhausted the quota allocated for 2000. Denmark has prohibited fishing for this stock from 7 December 2000. This date should be adopted in this Regulation also,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions IIa (EC waters) Skagerrak and Kattegat, ICES IIIb, c and d (EC waters) and the North Sea by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark are hereby deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated for 2000.

of 18 December 2000

suspending the notification of new contracts for an optional distillation of table wine

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2409/2000(2), and in particular Article 63(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down the conditions for the application of the distillation arrangements for wines referred to in Article 29 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999(3). Those arrangements provide for subsidised, voluntary distillation in order to support the wine market and help ensure continued supplies to the potable alcohol sector, which traditionally uses this type of alcohol. To that end, wine producers and distillers conclude contracts, which the Member States notify to the Commission twice a month.

(2) Article 63(6) lays down the conditions under which the Commission must intervene in the contract-approval procedure, setting a percentage for acceptance of contracts concluded for distillation and/or suspending the notification of new contracts, notably where the available budgetary resources or the absorption capacity of the potable alcohol sector is exceeded or may be exceeded.

(3) On the basis of the quantities of wine for which the Member States notified distillation contracts to the Commission on 5 December 2000, the Commission considers that, without intervention, the available budget resources will be exceeded. The Commission should therefore suspend the notification of new contracts,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notification to the Commission of new contracts under Article 63(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is suspended until 31 August 2001.

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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 29(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provides that reference prices valid for the Community may be fixed each year, by product category, for products that are the subject of a tariff suspension under Article 28(1) or for products which, by virtue of being either the subject of a binding tariff reduction under the WTO or some other preferential arrangements, must comply with a reference price.

(2) Article 29(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 lays down that, for the products listed in its Annex I, Parts A and B, the reference price is equal to the withdrawal price fixed in accordance with Article 20(1) of that Regulation.

(3) The Community withdrawal and selling prices for the products concerned are fixed for the 2001 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2902/2000(2).

(4) Under the terms of Article 29(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for products other than those listed in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 is established on the basis of the weighted average of customs values recorded on the import markets or in the ports of import in the preceding three years immediately preceding the date on which the reference price is fixed.

(5) There is no need to fix reference prices for all the species covered by the criteria laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, and particularly not for those imported in insignificant volumes from third countries.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
