(notified under document number C(2005) 322)

(Only the Italian text is authentic)

(2005/128/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91 of 21 May 1991 on the submission of data on the landings of fishery products in Member States (1), and in particular Article 5(4) and (5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The collection of data on the landings of fishery products by Italian coastal vessels as laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91 imposes a very heavy workload on the national authorities.

(2) The increased use of sampling techniques would significantly reduce this workload and has been demonstrated by the Italian authorities to significantly increase the quality of the resultant data.

(3) The level of sampling envisaged in this proposed technique exceeds the limit of 10 % by weight of the fishery products provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91.

(4) In accordance with Article 5(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, in cases where the inclusion of a particular sector of the fisheries of a Member State would cause difficulties to the national authorities incommensurate with the importance of that sector, the Commission may grant a derogation permitting such a Member State to exclude data for that sector from the national data submissions.

(5) Italy should be authorised to employ sampling techniques to estimate more than the 10 % maximum by weight of fishery products landed on condition that resultant estimates of the total weight of landings are of at least an equivalent standard of reliability.

(6) In accordance with Article 5(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, this derogation shall be granted for a maximum of three years.

(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics, set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (2),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Italy is authorised to employ sampling techniques to estimate more than the 10 % maximum by weight of fishery products landed in the reference month foreseen in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91.

Article 2

This authorisation shall end on 31 December 2006.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 31 May 2005

authorising Spain to extend for three years the application of a temporary measure excluding from compensatory aid marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002

(notified under document number C(2005) 1605)

(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

(2005/410/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 12(9) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Under Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 a Member State may be authorised to introduce a temporary measure whereby no compensatory aid is paid for marketed produce of new banana plantations when, in the Member State’s view, there is a risk to the sustainable development of the production areas, with particular reference to conservation of the environment, and protection of the soil and the characteristic features of the countryside.

(2) By Decision 2002/414/EC (2), the Commission authorised Spain to introduce a temporary measure excluding from compensatory aid marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 for a period of three years.

(3) On 15 April 2005, Spain requested the Commission to authorise it to extend, for a further three years, the measure excluding the Canary Islands from compensatory aid for marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002. The reason given for this request is the need to consolidate the positive effects of the application of the measure implemented in June 2002, and in particular to discourage the development of new plantations outside traditional production areas, in order to protect the environment, particularly as regards the use of water resources, soil stability and the socioeconomic balance, and conservation of the characteristic features of the countryside.

(4) Examination of Spain’s request to extend the measure excluding produce from compensatory aid for a period of three years shows that it complies with the aim and the provisions of Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93. This request should therefore be accepted.

(5) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Spain’s request to the Commission to extend, for a further three-year period, the measure excluding the produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 from the compensatory aid referred to in Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, authorised by Decision 2002/414/EC, is hereby accepted.
