of 19 January 2010

derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 as regards the implementation period in Romania of the annual plan for the distribution of food for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union for the year 2009

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(g) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Since the difficulties which arose when withdrawing sugar stocks in Slovakia assigned to Romania under the 2009 annual plan adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 983/2008 (3) made it physically impossible for Romania to implement its annual plan within the time limit set by Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, an exemption should be granted and the deadline extended in that specific case.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 notwithstanding and as regards the sugar stocks awarded to Romania under the 2009 annual plan, the implementation period of the said plan is extended until 31 January 2010.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 31 December 2009.

(4) Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
