THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3641/93 of 20 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3642/93 of 20 December 1993 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part, and Romania of the other part (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2193/93 (4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1606/94 (5) amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 335/94 (6) mistakenly reproduced the text of the latter Regulation with the necessary amendments already incorporated; whereas in order to avoid confusion it is necessary to amend the title of Regulation (EC) No 1606/94 and to repeal Regulation (EC) No 335/94;

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 (EC) No 1606/94 is hereby amended as follows:

1. The title is replaced by the following:

'Commission Regulation (EC) No 1606/94 of 1 July 1994 relating to the exemption from the import levy for certain products in the cereals' sector laid down in the Agreements between the European Community and the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 335/94.'

2. The following Article is inserted:

'Article 6a

Regulation (EC) No 335/94 is hereby repealed.'

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the date 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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1921/94 of 25 July 1994 amending Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/82 (1), subjected imports of a limited number of products originating in the People's Republic of China to the Community quantitative quotas listed in Annex II to the Regulation, owing to the sensitivity of certain sectors of Community industry;

Whereas the Council, in setting the level of these quotas, strove to find a balance between an appropriate protection of the sectors of the Community industry concerned and the need to maintain an acceptable level of trade with the People's Republic of China, taking into account the various interests involved;

Whereas, however, in the case of toys falling within CN code 9503 41, the implementation and administration of the quota have revealed that this objective has not been achieved in an entirely satisfactory way in 1994; whereas disruptions have occurred in trade with the People's Republic of China that have affected Community economic sectors involved in the import, marketing and processing of those toys originating in that country and caused economic difficulties;

Whereas, in view of this, and without prejudice to a review of the situation, the quota in question should be adjusted upwards for the year 1994, in order to ease the transition between the previous import regime and the regime established by the abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 519/94;

Whereas the amount by which the quota for 1994 is increased must be allocated to importers as swiftly as possible, in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (2),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94, 'ECU 158 965 083' in the column 'quotas (15 March to 31 December 1994)' concerning HS/CN code 9503 41 is replaced by 'ECU 204 500 000'.

Article 2

The additional amounts for the 1994 quota shall be allocated in their entirety to importers as swiftly as possible, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.

Article 3

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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1870/94 of 27 July 1994 fixing prices for rice for the 1994/95 marketing year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas the markets and prices policy continues to be the main instrument of the incomes policy in the rice sector;

Whereas the intervention price for paddy rice must be fixed at a rate which takes account, on the one hand, of the policy in respect of rice production with a view to the uses to which it is put and, on the other, of the budgetary and market constraints;

Whereas the target price of husked rice must be derived from the intervention price for paddy rice in accordance with the criteria set out in Article 4 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the marktet in rice (4);

Whereas, for the products referred to in this Regulation, the application of the aforementioned criteria entails fixing those prices at the levels indicated below,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1994/95 marketing year, prices for rice shall be as follows:

(a) intervention price, paddy rice: ECU 309,60 per tonne;

(b) target price, husked rice: ECU 530,60 per tonne.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 September 1994.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2073/94 of 17 August 1994 concerning the stopping of fishing for cod by vessels flying the flag of Portugal

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), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3676/93 of 21 December 1993 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), provides for cod quotas for 1994;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES divisions I and II b by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal have reached the quota allocated for 1994; whereas Portugal has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 4 August 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of cod in the waters of ICES divisions I and II b by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Portugal for 1994.

Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES divisions I and II b by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply with effect from 4 August 1994.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
