Commission Regulation (EC) No 1575/2003
of 5 September 2003
amending representative prices and additional duties for the import of certain products in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed implementing rules for the import of products in the sugar sector other than molasses(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 624/98(4), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 1(2), and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The amounts of the representative prices and additional duties applicable to the import of white sugar, raw sugar and certain syrups are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1166/2003(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1558/2003(6).
(2) It follows from applying the general and detailed fixing rules contained in Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 to the information known to the Commission that the representative prices and additional duties at present in force should be altered to the amounts set out in the Annex hereto,
The representative prices and additional duties on imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1739/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the prices applicable to cereals for the 1992/93 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas the markets and prices policy is the main instrument of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas, in many cases, surpluses can no longer be disposed of on normal terms either inside or outside the Community; whereas, in order to reduce the cost to the budget of disposing of surpluses on markets of third countries and to encourage greater  consumption within the Community, the restrictive price policy should continue to be applied; whereas, this aim may be achieved by maintaining for 1992/93 the intervention prices for common wheat, durum wheat, barley, rye, maize and sorghum applied  during the previous marketing year;
Whereas, as part of a quality policy, production of common wheat of higher breadmaking quality and production of rye of breadmaking quality should be supported; whereas, accordingly, the special premiums for common wheat of breadmaking quality and for  rye of breadmaking quality should be continued; whereas, however, the level of these premiums should be adjusted in line with the further reduction in the intervention price provided for in Article 4b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75;
Whereas it is fitting, bearing in mind the stage reached in the integration of the market in cereals in Portugal, to do away with, as from the 1992/93 marketing year, the application of the accession compensatory amount for common wheat; whereas this  objective can be attained by aligning the Portuguese intervention price on that applicable in the Community of Eleven;
Whereas this barrier may be abolished by a price alignment, compensated for by a consequent increase in aid,
For the 1992/93 marketing year, the prices applicable in the cereals sector shall be as indicated in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the beginning of the 1992/93 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) The refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in the natural state were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1156/2001(3).

amending the representative prices and additional duties for the import of certain products in the sugar sector fixed by Regulation (EC) No 1109/2007 for the 2007/08 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular of the Article 36,

1.4.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 83/38
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 514/2005
of 31 March 2005
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2) specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kg for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 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.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EU) No 1233/2009 laying down a specific market support measure in the dairy sector
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
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) (2), and in particular Articles 186 and 188(2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1233/2009 (3) amounts are set out to provide support to dairy farmers severely affected by the dairy crisis. As those amounts are fixed in euro, it is necessary, in order to ensure a uniform and simultaneous application throughout the Union, to fix a common date for the conversion of those amounts into national currency for the Member States which have not adopted the single currency. It is therefore appropriate to determine the operative event for the exchange rate in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98.
(2) In view of the principle referred to in Article 3(1), second indent, and the criteria mentioned in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, the operative event should be the date of the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1233/2009.
(3) Regulation (EU) No 1233/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) In order to ensure, as quickly as possible, a uniform and simultaneous application throughout the Union, this Regulation should enter into force without delay and should apply as from the date of the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1233/2009.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The following Article 3a is inserted in Regulation (EU) No 1233/2009 after Article 3:
‘Article 3a
The operative event for the exchange rate as regards the amounts set out in the Annex shall be 17 December 2009.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply as from 17 December 2009.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
