conversion of land currently under arable crops to extensive livestock farming in Portugal

COM(2001) 559 final (cid:151) 2001/0233(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission on 8 October 2001)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas:

(1) Because of delays in the effective application of the conversion programme provided for by Council
Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 (1), a large number of areas that are potentially eligible for the scheme
have not yet been converted. According to information supplied by the Member State, only 46 000
hectares have so far been converted and, at the current rate of conversion under the scheme, only an
estimated total of 64 000 hectares will be converted by 31 December 2002, the date on which the
scheme terminates, rather than the 200 000 hectares provided for in Article 1 of the Regulation. In
order to permit the objective set for the scheme to be achieved more fully, Portugal should be
authorised to continue with the conversion scheme for three further years.

(2) Since a time limit was placed on the programme, Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 lays down that the
specific reserve and any rights not yet allocated should lapse at the end of the programme. It should
therefore be laid down that the specific reserve and any rights not yet allocated lapse at the end of the
additional period of three years,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 is amended as follows:

1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:

(cid:145)Article 1

Portugal shall be authorised to carry out, for a period of eleven years, in the regions listed in the Annex
to this Regulation, a programme for the conversion of land currently under arable crops to extensive
livestock production, up to a maximum of 200 000 hectares.(cid:146)

2. Article 7 is replaced by the following:

(cid:145)Article 7

At the end of the eleventh year following the entry into force of this Regulation, unallocated premium
rights shall lapse and the specific reserve shall be abolished.(cid:146)

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the
common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 2846/98 (2), and in particular Article 6(8) thereof,

Whereas:

Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 requires
masters of Community fishing vessels whose overall
length is equal to or more than 10 metres to keep a
logbook. The fishing vessels to which this requirement
applies should therefore be clearly specified in Annexes
IV and V to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83
of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for
fish (3), as last
recording Member States' catches of
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2737/1999 (4).

Annex VIIIa to Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 lists the
radio stations through which Community fishing vessels
transmit certain messages. The French and German radio
stations listed in this Annex have definitively ceased
operating. The references to them should therefore be
removed from the Annex in question.

It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No
2807/83 to reflect this.

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 is amended as follows:

1. Point 2.1.1 of Annexes IV and V is replaced by the

Masters of Community fishing vessels whose overall
length is equal to or more than 10 metres shall keep

On 31 March 2003 the Commission received notification pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation
(EEC) No 4064/89 (the ‘Merger Regulation’) of an acquisition through which DSM NV (‘DSM’), a Dutch
undertaking, has agreed to acquire control of Roche Vitamins and Fine Chemicals Division (‘RV & FC’).
Undertakings were submitted by DSM on 25 April, as amended on 13 May, but were deemed insufficient
to prevent formal proceedings from being initiated under Article 6(1)(c) of the Merger Regulation on 19
May 2003.

Further undertakings were submitted by DSM on 27 June which were market tested by the Commission.
Following discussions with the relevant Commission service, a final set of undertakings was submitted on 9
July 2003.

On the basis of these undertakings the relevant Commission service considered that the competition
concerns were fully resolved. Accordingly no statement of objections was sent to the parties.

The case does not call for any particular comments with regard to the right to be heard.

(2) In its report of 29 June 2001, the Commission notes the undeniable progress made by Romania as
regards illegal immigration from the country, its visa policy and the controls at its borders. It also sets
out the commitments entered into by Romania in this field. It concludes by recommending to the
Council that Romanian nationals be exempted from the visa requirement as of 1 January 2002.

(3) To apply the visa exemption to Romanian nationals, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 539/2001

which provisionally maintain the visa requirement should be deleted,
