COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2095/2005
of 20 December 2005
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 as regards communication of information on tobacco
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to enable the Commission to monitor market developments in the raw tobacco sector covered by the common market organisation established by Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92, Member States are required to communicate the necessary information.
(2) To that end, Commission Regulation (EC) No 604/2004 of 29 March 2004 on the communication of information on tobacco from the 2000 harvest onwards (2) was adopted.
(3) The information to be communicated should provide a general overview of the entire Community tobacco market, and should in particular take into account the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3) and its implementing rules.
(4) In the interest of efficient administration, the communicated information should be grouped by group of tobacco variety and time limits should be set for its submission.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to adapt the provisions on the information to be communicated accordingly.
(6) For the sake of clarity and rationality, Regulation (EC) No 604/2004 should be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
