COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2250/96 of 25 November 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 918/94 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 778/83 laying down the quality standards for tomatoes, as regards tomatoes attached to the stalk (trusses of tomatoes)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 918/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2728/95 (4), derogates from Regulation (EEC) No 778/83 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1657/92 (6), so as to authorize for a trial period the marketing of tomatoes attached to the stalk (trusses of tomatoes) during the 1994 marketing year; whereas that period was extended to the 1996 marketing year by Regulation (EC) No 2728/95; whereas the marketing year for tomatoes runs from 1 January to 31 December of a given year;

Whereas it would appear appropriate definitively to insert the provisions authorizing the marketing of tomatoes attached to the stalk (trusses of tomatoes) in Regulation (EEC) No 778/83; whereas, however, pending the entry into force and application of the reform of the common organization of the market in fresh fruit and vegetables, the said trial period should be extended for a further marketing year;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 918/94, '1996` is replaced by '1997`.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 January 1997.

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2243/96 of 25 November 1996 concerning the stopping of fishing for common sole by vessels flying the flag of Belgium

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 amended by Regulation (EC) No 2870/95 (2), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 of 22 December 1995 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1952/96 (4), provides for common sole quotas for 1996;

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 common sole in the waters of ICES division VII a by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1996; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 1 November 1996; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of common sole in the waters of ICES division VII a by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Belgium for 1996.

Fishing for common sole in the waters of ICES division VII a by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium 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 1 November 1996.

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

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas in order to encourage the conclusion of contracts between associations of tomato producers on the one hand and associations of processors or processors on the other, Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides, in this case, for the grant on certain terms of an additional premium;

Whereas the 'significant specific percentage` for the total quantity of processed tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with producers' associations must be set for the 1996/97 marketing year;

Whereas, in view of the important role played by tomato producers' associations in the producer Member States, it is desirable to maintain at the same level as for the 1995/96 marketing year the percentage of the quantities of tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with producers' associations in relation to the total quantity of processed tomatoes,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1996/97 marketing year the percentage mentioned in Article 3 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 shall be 80 %.

Article 2

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