Having regard to the Staff Regulations of the Officials of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) No 3736/90 (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 No (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) 2330/91 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 January 1991 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, 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 March 1991 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 weightings were last laid down or adjusted,

DECIDES:

Sole Article

With effect from 1 March 1991 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are adjusted as shown in the Annex.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3838/90 provides for the allocation during the fourth quarter of 1991 of quantities not covered by import licence applications at 31 August 1991; whereas those quantities amount to 29,456 tonnes according to notifications from the Member States;

Whereas, when the reference quantities and quantities applied for pursuant to Article 4 (1) and the third subparagraph of Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3885/90 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3021/91 (3), were notified to the Commission by the national authorities, the figures were wrong in certain cases;

Whereas, in view of the fact that the operators concerned are not responsible for the mistakes made and with a view to ensuring sound administration of this Community import quota, the remaining quantities should be shared out among the operators affected by the mistake in forwarding the figures;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In the framework of the Community tariff quota for meat of bovine animals, frozen, provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3838/90, the quantities which were not covered by import licence applications at 31 August 1991, namely 29 456 tonnes, shall be allocated as follows:

COUNCIL DECISION of 19 December 1991 extending the period of application of Decision 82/530/EEC authorizing the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man authorities to apply a system of special import licences to sheepmeat and beef and veal (91/657/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 1 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Community rules concerning trade with non-member countries in agricultural products subject to a common organization of the market apply to the Isle of Man in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession and with Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (1);

Whereas livestock production is a traditional activity in the Isle of Man and plays a central part in the island's agriculture;

Whereas, prior to the introduction of the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the Community, the Isle of Man, as part of its local market organization, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of sheepmeat into the island in order to ensure that the need to supply the requirements of trade could be met whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheep production and, indirectly, in cattle production on the island and in its own agricultural support system;

Whereas, by Decision 82/530/EEC (2), the United Kingdom was authorized to permit the Isle of Man Government to apply a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and beef and veal originating in non-member countries and in Member States of the Community, without prejudice to the measures concerning trade with non-member countries provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (3) and Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 (4) for a period of nine years ending on 31 December 1991;

Whereas the Commission proposed on 12 December 1991 to the Council to extend the authorization until the end of 1995; whereas the Council is therefore not yet in a position to decide upon the proposal; whereas, in the interim, in order to avoid a disruption of trade, the present system should continue to apply for a limited period;

Whereas Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC should therefore be amended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 2

The Decision shall apply until 31 March 1992.'

Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/27/EEC (2), and in particular Annex III, part B (10) thereof,

Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC from 16 April to 31 October, in the case of origin in the Northern Hemisphere, and from 1 November to 15 April, in the case of origin in the Southern Hemisphere, plants of certain genera, other than fruit and seeds, originating in countries or regions other than those recognized as being free from Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al., may not be introduced in certain Member States;

Whereas it has appeared from official information supplied by Australia that the aforementioned harmful organism does not occur in that country, and that it has long maintained a strict prohibition on importation of plants and plant products which could introduce this harmful organism;

Whereas it can therefore be established that there is no risk of the aforementioned harmful organism in question spreading;

Whereas this Decision is without prejudice to any subsequent findings which may show that the aforementioned harmful organism is present in that country;

Whereas the Commission will ensure that on a yearly basis Australia makes all technical information available which is necessary to assess the aforementioned situation;

COUNCIL DECISION of 19 December 1991 postponing the date on which the national provisions applying Directive 89/104/EEC to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks are to be put into effect (92/10/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the First Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (1), and in particular Article 16 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/104/EEC, Member States are to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the Directive not later than 28 December 1991;

Whereas pursuant to Article 16 (2) of that Directive, on a proposal from the Commission, the Council, acting by qualified majority, may defer the date referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article until 31 December 1992 at the latest;

Whereas this exceptional provision was included in the said Directive to ensure, if necessary, that the date of the putting into effect of the national provisions applying the Directive should, as far as possible, be aligned with the date as from which it would be possible for Community trade mark applications to be filed;

Whereas the Commission's proposal for a Council Regulation on the Community trade mark (1) has not yet been adopted; whereas it is expected that the said Regulation will be adopted shortly;

Whereas it seems therefore appropriate to postpone until 31 December 1992 the date provided for in Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/104/EEC, so that the objective referred to above may be the more easily pursued;

Whereas the objectives set for the completion of the internal market continue to be respected notwithstanding this postponement,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The date set in Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/104/EEC shall be replaced by 31 December 1992.

Article 2
