COM(95) 22 final - 94/0259(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 A (2) of the EC Treaty on 10 February 1995)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing a single Council and a single Commission of the European Communities, and in particular Article 24 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, made after consulting the Staff Regulations Committee,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Justice,

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors,

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No . . .

of . . .

fixing certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet for the 1995/96 marketing year

(95/C 99/06)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 283/95 (), and in particular Articles 2 (3), 3 (4) and 4 (3) 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, when sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to guarantee a fair standard of living for the farming community and to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;

Whereas, in order to attain these objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, taking into account, in particular, the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while at the same time respecting consumers interest, and which is likely to maintain the balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products;

Whereas, as a result of the characteristics of the sugar market, the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight; whereas, consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is fixed, the difference between the target price and the intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low level;

Whereas the basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price and of the cost of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kilograms of white sugar per tonne of beet with a 16 % sugar content,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. The target price for white sugar shall be ECU 66,50/100 kg.

2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be ECU 63,19/100 kg for the non-deficit areas of the Community.

Article 2

The basic price for beet applicable in the Community shall be ECU 47,67/t delivered at the collection centre.

Article 3

Standard quality beet shall:

a) be of sound and fair merchantable quality;

b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.

Article 4

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

It shall apply for the 1995/96 marketing year.

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

derogating, for the 1995/96 marketing year, from Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain citrus fruits

(95/C 99/21)

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,

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

Whereas, within the framework of the Community scheme supporting the processing of citrus fruits, it appears that certain processing companies are experiencing financial difficulties in paying the minimum price to producers; whereas that situation should be taken into account when authorizing the Member States, in respect of the new marketing year 1995/96, to pay the financial compensation directly to producers under certain conditions;

Whereas using this possibility will prevent Member States from having recourse to the provisions for granting financial compensation as referred to in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 (),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notwithstanding Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3119/93, Member States may pay financial compensation directly to producers for the quantities delivered by the latter under contracts as referred to in the Article 2 of that Regulation. In that case, processors must pay to producers a price which is at least equal to the difference between the minimum price referred to in Article 3 and the financial compensation referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation.

The provisions of the first paragraph shall not apply to satsumas.

Article 2

Where Article 1 is applied, the financial compensation shall be paid to the producer at his request when the control authorities in the Member States in which processing is carried out have established that the products which are covered by contracts have been delivered.

Article 3

The decision of the Member State to apply Article 1 must concern all producers and processors on its territory.

Article 4

The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular with regard to the guarantee, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden.

Article 5

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

It shall apply to the 1995/96 marketing year.

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

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty,

Whereas the abbreviation 'EEC` appears in certain provisions of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (1);

Whereas Article G of the Treaty on European Union replaced the term 'European Economic Community` with the term 'European Community`; whereas the abbreviation 'EEC` should therefore be replaced by the abbreviation 'EC` in the abovementioned provisions;

Whereas, however, economic operators normally hold large stocks of labels; whereas certain dangerous substances validly provided with labels bearing the abbreviation 'EEC` may be stored on the production sites for a relatively long period before being placed on the market; whereas such a change of abbreviation could occasion extra costs for those operators; whereas a reasonable period should therefore be set during which dangerous substances whose labels bear an 'EEC number` and the words 'EEC label` can still be placed on the market,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Directive 67/548/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

1. (a) In Article 21 (2), the term 'EEC number` is hereby replaced by the term 'EC number`.

Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 June 1997 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

When these measures are adopted by Member States, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
