Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1516/96(2), and in particular Article 3(2), Article 8(13) and Article 15 thereof,

fixing the ceilings on financing for measures to improve the quality of olive oil production in the 2001/2002 production cycle and derogating from Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 laying down measures to improve the quality of olive oil production(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 593/2001(4), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 provides that ceilings be fixed, for each Member State and each twelve-month production cycle, on financing for measures to improve the quality of olive oil production and its environmental impact which are eligible for reimbursement by the EAGGF Guarantee Section.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2236/2000 of 9 October 2000 fixing the estimated production of olive oil and the unit amount of the production aid that may be paid in advance for the 1999/2000 marketing year(5) estimates production, including production of table olives expressed as olive oil equivalent, at 1945243 tonnes. This corresponds to 754500 tonnes for Spain, 441000 tonnes for Greece, 700000 tonnes for Italy, 46991 tonnes for Portugal and 2752 tonnes for France. The amount withheld from production aid for this olive oil marketing year serves as a basis for financing measures to improve the quality of oil during the production cycle commencing on 1 May 2001.

(3) The measures have relatively fixed minimum costs. The ceilings on total financing for some Member States may therefore prove to be too low. Appropriate limits should consequently be established for those cases.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the production cycle from 1 May 2001 to 30 April 2002, the ceilings on financing for the measures laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 shall be:

>TABLE>

Article 2

Notwithstanding Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999, the additional national financial contribution from Member States whose ceiling on financing laid down in Article 1 is EUR 100000 or less shall be no more than EUR 250000.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1608/2000 laying down transitional measures pending the definitive measures implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Article 80 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1608/2000(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 491/2001(4), extends the applicability of certain Council provisions repealed by Article 81 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 until 31 March 2001, pending the finalisation and adoption of measures implementing that Regulation. The finalisation and adoption of those implementing measures will not be completed by 31 March 2001. Certain Council provisions repealed by Article 81 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 should accordingly be allowed to stand for a short additional period.

(2) The extra transitional period does not affect the implementation of the bulk of the reform of the common organisation of the market in wine on the date set by the Council since the main points concerning the areas covered by those Regulations have been settled in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 or in the implementing regulations already adopted.

(3) Less progress has been made in adopting implementing measures in certain areas than in others, for example regarding the description, designation, presentation and protection of certain wine products, because of the complexity and sensitivity of the issues the Council has to deal with and the direct impact of any measures adopted on operators in the Community and in non-member countries. Provision should therefore be made for an extra transitional period in order to allow in-depth discussions to be held.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1608/2000 is amended as follows:

1. In Article 1, the date "31 March 2001" is replaced by "31 May 2001".

2. In Article 3, the date "31 March 2001" is replaced by "31 May 2001".
