REGULATION No 7a adding certain products to the list in Annex II to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 38 (3) thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas the addition of certain products to Annex II to the Treaty, on which the Council must take a decision within the period and under the conditions laid down in Article 38, will make applicable to those products the special and exceptional arrangements provided for in Articles 38 to 46 of the Treaty ; whereas only agricultural products for which these arrangements are considered necessary should therefore be added to the Annex;

Whereas the colouring or flavouring of sugars, syrups and molasses does not change these products sufficiently for there to be no risk of serious disturbances or fraud, which would be difficult to detect, if the products were made subject to arrangements differing from those governing non-coloured and non-flavoured sugars, syrups and molasses;

Whereas the processing of certain agricultural products into ethyl alcohol has distinct economic implications for these products, whose value it serves to increase substantially ; whereas the arrangements governing ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin cannot be separated from those governing basic products and must be taken into account when a common agricultural policy is established;

Whereas the vinegar market cannot be dissociated from the ethyl alcohol market or from the wine market;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following products shall be added to the list in Annex II to the Treaty: >PIC FILE= "T0050776">

REGULATION No 54/65/EEC OF THE COMMISSION of 7 April 1965 on the non-fixing of an additional amount for Polish eggs

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Regulation No 21 (1) on the progressive establishment of a common organisation of the market in eggs, and in particular Article 6 (4) thereof;

Having regard to Commission Regulation No 109 (2) on fixing the additional amount provided for in Article 7 of Council Regulation No 20 and in Article 6 of Council Regulations Nos 21 and 22, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 4 thereof;

Whereas, in order to avoid disturbances in trade in the products covered by Regulation No 21 caused by offers from third countries at prices lower than the sluice-gate price, the levies fixed pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation No 21 and reduced, where appropriate, in accordance with Article 5 of that Regulation, should be increased in each Member State by an additional amount corresponding to the difference between the free-at-frontier offer price and the sluice-gate price;

Whereas the levies are not, however, increased by this additional amount as regards third countries which are prepared and in a position to guarantee that the price for imports coming from their territory will not be lower than the sluice-gate price and that any deflection of trade will be avoided;

Whereas, by letter dated 28 November 1964, the Government of the Polish People's Republic stated that it was prepared to give such guarantees ; whereas it will ensure that eggs in shell are exported to the Community only through the Animex agency ; whereas questions affecting observance of the guarantee given have been discussed in detail with representatives of the Polish People's Republic ; whereas, following these discussions, it may be assumed that the Polish People's Republic is in a position to abide by its guarantee ; whereas, consequently, there is no need to fix an additional amount in respect of imports of eggs in shell originating in and coming from the Polish People's Republic;

Whereas the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an Opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The levies on imports of poultry eggs in shell (sub-heading No ex 04.05 A of the Common Customs Tariff) originating in and coming from the Polish People's Republic shall not, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 6 (3) of Regulation No 21, be increased by an additional amount.

Article 2

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

Whereas the scope of the arrangements introduced by Commission Regulation No 282/67/EEC 7 of 11 July 1967 on detailed rules for intervention for oil seeds and by Commission Regulation No 284/67/EEC 8 of 11 July 1967 on certain detailed rules for the application of export refunds on oil seeds, as supplemented by Commission Regulation No 687/67/EEC 9 of 9 October 1967, must therefore be limited to the seeds and mixtures referred to above, denatured or showing traces of denaturing;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats.
