COMMISSION DECISION

of 13 March 1986

derogating from High Authority recommendation No 1/64 concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community

(121 derogation)

(Only the Danish text is authentic)

(86/133/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 2 to 5, 8, 71 and 74 thereof,

Having regard to High Authority recommendation No 1/64 of 15 January 1964 to the Governments of the Member States concerning an increase in the protective duty on iron and steel products at the external frontiers of the Community (1), as last amended by recommendation No 81/772/ECSC (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Denmark has shown the existence of exceptional and temporary difficulties in obtaining supplies for its transforming industry on the Community market with special sheet for the manufacture of preserved-food cans; whereas such difficulties, which seemed likely to come to an end by the end of 1985, are still prevalent but seem capable of being solved by the end of the first half of 1986;

Whereas by Decision No 85/496/ECSC (3) the Commission authorized Denmark to import duty-free from third countries certain quantities of special sheet during the period 1 July 1985 to 31 December 1985 and it is now appropriate to extend the operation of this Decision until 30 June 1986;

Whereas this exceptional import is justified for the reasons of commercial policy provided for in Article 3 of recommendation No 1/64; whereas the Commission may therefore grant a derogation from the said recommendation;

Whereas the Governments of the Member States have been consulted on the abovementioned request,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Article 3 of Decision No 85/496/ECSC of 10 July 1985 is hereby replaced by the following, with effect from 1 January 1986:

'Article 3

This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986'.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 June 1986

(Only the French text is authentic)

(86/333/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3827/85 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 6 November 1985 the French Government forwarded an addendum to the programme approved by Commission Decision 80/189/EEC (3) relating to a programme for fresh fruit and vegetables, except potatoes, and on 8 April 1986 submitted supplementary information;

Whereas the purpose of this addendum is to permit the rationalization and development of packing, storage and marketing facilities for fruit and vegetables, including the installation of computers and terminals and the improvement of 'Dutch' auction markets, so as to make the sector more competitive and upgrade the products; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the information relating to harvesting equipment contained in the programme is insufficient to justify a favourable decision pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 and whereas Article 6 (1) (f) of the Regulation limits the eligibility of harvesting equipment, in particular where such equipment forms part of a project relating to the processing of the products concerned;

Whereas the addendum contains sufficient information, as required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives of Article 1 of the Regulation can be achieved in respect of fresh fruit and vegetables; whereas the estimated time required for execution of the addendum does not exceed the limits laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The addendum to the programme relating to fresh fruit and vegetables, except potatoes, forwarded by the French Government pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on 6 November 1985 concerning which supplementary information was submitted on 8 April 1986 is hereby approved, with the exception of the part relating to investment in harvesting equipment.

so as to increase productivity and profitability, to improve quality, to adapt production to present-day hygiene requirements and, in particular, to involve producers more closely in the processing and marketing sector; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the purpose of the programme is to increase the existing capacity of meat processing and marketing installations, especially in the Mezzogiorno, and whereas priority is to be given to installations with a slaughter capacity of not less than 5 000 tonnes per year; whereas the programme makes no provision for investments in public installations with a slaughter capacity of less than 1 000 tonnes per year; whereas the programme provides for the processing and marketing of meat and slaughter by-products;

Whereas the programme contains sufficient information, as required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives of Article 1 of the Regulation can be achieved in respect of the sectors concerned; whereas the estimated time required for execution of the programme does not exceed the limits laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
