THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/96 (2), and in particular Article 36 (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that during the 1995/96 to 2000/01 marketing years adjustment aid of ECU 0,10 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar is to be grated as an intervention measure to the Community's imported preferential raw cane sugar refining industry; whereas, as provided for in those provisions, additional aid equal to that amount is to be granted during the same period for the refining of raw cane sugar produced in the French overseas departments;

Whereas Article 36 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the adjustment aid and the additional aid referred to above shall be altered in respect of a given marketing year in the light of the storage levy fixed for that year and previous adjustments; whereas the storage levy for the 1996/97 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1239/96 (3) at ECU 2,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas that amount is less than that applicable for the 1995/96 marketing year; whereas, after taking into account previous adjustments, the amount of these aids should consequently be fixed for the 1996/97 marketing year at ECU 2,42 per 100 kilograms of sugar exported as white sugar;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The amounts of the adjustment aid and of the additional aid provided for respectively in paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be fixed at ECU 2,42 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1996/97 marketing year.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1452/96 of 23 July 1996 fixing a supplementary premium payable to sheepmeat producers in non-less favoured areas of Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland

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,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (2) provides for the grant of a premium to the extent necessary to offset any income loss to sheepmeat producers in the Community; whereas the loss of income is calculated on the basis of the difference which exists between the Community average market price and the basic price;

Whereas in Ireland and Northern Ireland prices and production costs in late spring are normally relatively high; whereas in late spring 1995, due in particular to abnormal supply patterns, prices there were exceptionally low thus reducing sharply producers' returns from the market; whereas the producers concerned are located principally outside the less-favoured areas;

Whereas the level of the ewe premium is insufficient to compensate these producers for the loss they suffered;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 does not provide any means to rectify this very difficult and exceptional situation; whereas it is therefore necessary to provide for a supplementary premium limited to the producers affected in the regions indicated and to the 1995 marketing year,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland in areas other than those defined in Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC (3) a supplementary premium of ECU 6,5 per ewe shall be payable to producers in respect of the 1995 marketing year.

This supplementary premium shall be granted subject to the same conditions as those laid down for the granting of the 1995 premium to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers.

Article 2

Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted by the Commission, if necessary, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1435/96 of 23 July 1996 reintroducing customs duties on products of CN codes 3102 and 3105, originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia and of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for which tariff ceilings were opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 3355/94

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3355/94 of 22 December 1994 concerning the arrangements applicable to imports into the Community of products originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3032/95 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of that Regulation, the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia and the territory of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should benefit from preferential tariff arrangements, in particular subject to tariff ceilings; whereas Article 3 (2) provides that once the ceilings are reached the Commission may adopt a regulation to reintroduce the levying of the customs duties actually applied vis-à-vis third countries until the end of the calendar year;

Whereas imports of the products specified in the Annex to this Regulation originating in the said Republics and eligible for tariff preferences have been charged against the ceiling up to the total amount; whereas the situation on the Community market for these products requires the reintroduction of customs duties vis-à-vis the Republics in question;

Whereas the levying of customs duties for these products should therefore be reintroduced,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

From 27 July 1996, the levying of customs duties suspended for 1996 by Regulation (EC) No 3355/94, shall be reintroduced on imports into the Community of the products shown in the Annex, originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
