COUNCIL DECISION
of 22 December 1995
fixing the amount of the  Community financial contribution for 1995 to expenditure incurred by the Swedish authorities for  the release of smolt
(95/578/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 125  thereof,
Whereas Article 125 of the 1994 Act of Accession provides that the Council, acting by qualified  majority on a proposal from the Commission, is to fix annually the amount of the Community's  financial contribution to the release of smolt carried out by the competent Swedish authorities;
Whereas that financial contribution must be approved in the light of the balances existing  immediately before Sweden's accession;
Whereas Article 3 of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of  Sweden on certain measures for the purpose of promoting the reproduction of salmon in the Baltic  (1) provides that the amount of the contribution must be equal to the actual costs to the Swedish  authorities of breeding, tagging and releasing the quantity of smolt necessary to produce a  quantity of salmon equal to the non-reciprocal quota allocated to the Community in the Swedish  fishery zone for the year during which the contribution is to be granted;
Whereas the Commission has received Sweden's application for the Community financial contribution  for 1995; whereas this application is the same as for 1994;
Whereas the International Committee for Baltic Fisheries has recommended a total allowable catch  (TAC) for the Baltic salmon stock and the proportion of that TAC to be allocated to the Community;
Whereas the TAC fixed for 1995 has been reduced and the Swedish application must be re-examined in  the light of that fact;
Whereas the amount of the Community financial contribution has been calculated by applying  proportionally this reduction in the non-reciprocal quota which Sweden is assumed to have allocated  to the Community, had the bilateral agreement remained in force,
The amount of the Community financial contribution for 1995 to  expenditure on promoting salmon reproduction in the Baltic Sea shall not exceed ECU 666 092.
This Decision is addressed to the Government of Sweden.
COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 174/84
of 23 January 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 on the common organization of the market in rice
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1566/83 (3), provides that the intervention centres for rice shall be determined each year, after consultation with the Member States concerned, in accordance with the management committee procedure; whereas experience gained has shown that it is no longer necessary to determine those centres annually but that this can be done as and when changes are necessary;
Whereas Article 11a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 provides that for consignments of semi-milled rice from the Member States to the French overseas department of Réunion, a subsidy shall be payable which is equal to the levy for that product less the amount for the protection of the industry; whereas experience has shown that some difficulties have arisen because semi-milled rice includes a range of products which have undergone varying degrees of processing, some of which are imported into the Community as husked rice and are thus liable for payment of the levy for such rice, and subsequently delivered, after nominal processing, to Réunion where they qualify for the aforesaid higher level of subsidy; whereas, in order to avoid such difficulties, it seems appropriate to amend the provision in question to limit the amount of the subsidy to be granted for semi-milled rice to the amount of the levy for husked rice,
Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 4 (5) is replaced by the following:
'5. The intervention centres referred to in paragraph 4 shall be determined in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 27 after consultation with the Member States concerned.'
2. Article 11a (4) is replaced by the following:
'4. For consignments to the French overseas department of Réunion of products falling within subheading 10.06 B of the Common Customs Tariff which come from Member States and are in one of the situations referred to in Article 9 (2) of the Treaty, a subsidy shall be granted, on application by the party concerned, equal to the levy in force for the product concerned.
However, this subsidy shall:
- in respect of products falling within subheading 10.06 B II a), be equal to the levy applicable to products falling within subheading 10.06 B I b),
- in respect of products falling within subheading 10.06 B II b), be reduced by the amount for the protection of the industry referred to in Article 14 (3).'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
