(95/C 235/07)

COM(95) 265 final - 95/0153(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission on 19 June 1995)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 (2), on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, and in particular Article 12 (7) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 provides that aid may be granted to hop producers to enable them to achieve a fair income; whereas the amount of this aid is fixed per hectare and differs according to varieties, taking into account the average return on the areas in full production as compared with the average returns for previous harvests, the current position of the market and trends in costs;

Whereas Article 12a of the said Regulation provides that aid to producers may also be granted for areas cultivated with experimental strains in order to facilitate the development of new varieties;

Whereas an examination of the results of the 1994 harvest reveals the need to fix aid for groups of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community; whereas aid to producers should also be granted for areas cultivated with experimental strains,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. For the 1994 harvest, aid shall be granted to the producers of hops cultivated in the Community for the groups of varieties set out in the Annex as well as for experimental strains.

2. The amount of the aid shall be as set out in the Annex.

Article 2

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

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

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) establishing the possibility of national aid being granted in compensation for losses of agricultural income caused by monetary movements in other Member States (95/C 252/05) COM(95) 343 final - 95/0197(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission on 13 July 1995)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,

Having regard to the Commission proposal,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas monetary movements have influenced the agricultural market particularly in the first half of 1995; whereas certain producers may have suffered from losses of income caused by significant monetary movements in Member States other than the one in which they produce;

Whereas, where such losses of income are objectively established, temporary national aid which does not favour a particular type of production may be granted to compensate for the loss actually established; whereas it is necessary for the Community to take measures to enable the common agricultural policy to be coherently implemented;

Whereas these exceptional measures are justified solely on the basis of the specific objectives, circumstances and features of the common agricultural policy;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Where it can be justified on the basis of facts that agricultural producers of given production sectors have suffered considerable losses of revenue in a Member State because of significant monetary movements which have occurred in other Member States since the beginning of the 1994/95 marketing year and no later than 31 December 1995, flat-rate compensatory aid, reducing over three years, may be granted to the producers in question on the basis of national financing.

The compensatory aid shall at the most be equal to the aforementioned loss of income and may not be granted in the form of an amount linked to production other than that of a fixed period corresponding to that in which the income was lost. It may not be so directed as to favour a particular type of production in the sector concerned nor be dependent on production subsequent to that fixed period.

Member States shall determine the amounts and detailed rules of this aid and notify them to the Commission for approval. The procedural provisions of Article 93 of the Treaty shall apply without taking account of the criteria in Article 92.

Article 2

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

A Member State may not notify an aid project under this Regulation after 30 June 1996.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (96/C 12/05) COM(95) 497 final - 95/0265(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission on 26 October 1995)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee,

Whereas Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (1) provides that land set aside may be used for the provision of materials for the manufacture within the Community of products not primarily intended for human or animal consumption, provided that effective control systems are applied;

Whereas in order to ensure compliance with point 7 of the Memorandum of Understanding on certain oilseeds between the European Economic Community and the United States of America within the framework of the GATT (2), it is necessary to provide for the possibility of reducing the amount of by-products which may be produced and put to a feed or food use, if the total quantity of such by-products would otherwise exceed 1 million tonnes annually expressed in soya bean meal equivalents;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following subparagraph is added to Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92:

'If the quantity of by-products for feed or food uses likely to be made available as a result of the cultivation of oilseeds on land set-aside under the first subparagraph will, on the basis of the forecast quantities covered by contracts made with producers, exceed 1 million tonnes annually expressed in soya bean meal equivalents, in order to limit such quantity to 1 million tonnes, the amount of the forecast quantity which may be produced under each contract and used for feed or food uses shall be reduced.`

Article 2

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

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

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) fixing a supplementary premium payable to sheep producers in non-less favoured areas of Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland

(96/C 159/06)

COM(96) 152 final - 96/0102(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission on 15 April 1996)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1265/95 (2), provides for the grant of a premium to the extent necessary to offset any income loss to sheepmeat producers in the Community; whereas the loss of income is calculated on the basis of the difference between the Community average market price and the basic price;

Whereas in Ireland and Northern Ireland prices and production costs in late Spring are normally relatively high; whereas in late Spring 1995, due in particular to abnormal supply patterns, prices there were exceptionally low thus reducing sharply producers' returns from the market; whereas the producers concerned are located principally outside the less-favoured areas;

Whereas the level of the ewe premium is insufficient to compensate these producers;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 does not provide any means to rectify this very difficult and exceptional situation; whereas, it is therefore necessary to provide for a supplementary premium limited to the producers affected in the regions indicated and to the 1995 marketing year,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland in areas other than those defined in Article 3 (3) (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC a supplementary premium of ECU 6,5 per ewe is payable to producers in respect of the 1995 marketing year,

This supplementary premium is granted subject to the same conditions as those laid down for the granting of the 1995 premium to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers.

Article 2

Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted by the Commission, if necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89.

Article 3

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

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

Whereas the economic and trade links instituted by the customs union should be strengthened by closer cooperation in the field of education, training and youth,

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

COM(96) 177 final - 96/0120(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 189a (2) of the EC Treaty on 13 May 1996)

This proposal was presented by the Commission to the Council on 4 October 1995.

As a consequence of the presentation of the proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) No . . ./96 introducing a system of aid to producers of certain citrus fruits (1), the proposal on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables now requires the following amendments:

Article 15

(Submitted by the Commission on 11 July 1996) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas recommendation 76/494/EEC was adopted to give guidelines to drivers so that they can contribute to more efficient use of road vehicles, by driving economically and responsibly;

Whereas this recommendation has already achieved its objective and can have no further effect on driver behaviour and, therefore, no longer has any raison d'être,

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 17.07.1996 
COM(96) 381 final 
95/0204 (SYN) 
Amended proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION ŒO 
amending Regulation (EEC) 1107/70 of the Council on the granting 
of aid for transport by rail, road and inland waterway 
(presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 a (2) 
of the EC-Treaty) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
At its plenary session of 29 February 1996, the European Parliament has given its 
opinion on the proposal1 for a Council Regulation (EC) amending Regulation (EEC) 
1107/70 of the Council on the granting of aid for transport by rail, road and inland 
waterway, providing for a number of amendments. 
The Commission has accepted amendments 1 and 2 concerning a new recital 1, 
as they correspond to the intermodal policy of the Community. This policy aims at 
creating the conditions for sustainable mobility through the imputation of the actual 
costs caused by each mode of transport. As long as road modes do not fully pay 
for the social and environmental costs caused by them, aid to combined transport, 
railways and waterways to bridge the competitive gap is justified. 
The Commission therefore amends its proposal as follows: 
Original proposal Amended proposal 
Recital 1a (new) 
Whereas the growing requirement for 
mobility is placing ever increasing 
demands and pressures on people and 
the environment; whereas to take 
account of the present highly uneven 
spread of costs and pressures 
between the different modes of 
transport, the possibility must be 
created of improving or increasing aid 
to environment-friendly forms of 
transport such as combined transport, 
railways and waterways; 
Recital 1b (new) 
Whereas the current overall transport 
policy has not vet succeeded in 
creating the conditions for healthy 
competition between the various 
modes of transport, and whereas no 
financial equilibrium has vet been 
achieved within the railway 
companies;
