COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 558/91  of 7 March 1991  amending Regulation (EEC) No 1495/80 implementing certain provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80 on the valuation of goods for customs purposes
THE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80 of 28 May 1980 on the valuation of goods for customs purposes (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4046/89 (2), and in particular Article 19 (1) (b) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1495/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 220/85 (4), adopted certain implementing provisions for Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80 in order to ensure its uniform application;
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80 does not specify the extent of the period which customs authorities may grant to individuals or enterprises for the supply of information and/or documents and, for this reason, the approach of customs  authorities in this matter varies significantly from one Member State to another;
Whereas the granting of excessive periods is likely to delay the levying of the customs duties due;
Whereas it is necessary to ensure the uniform application of the abovementioned Article 10 and to adopt to this end implementing provisions which exclude, whenever possible, any divergence of treatment of individuals or firms as well as any unjustified  delays in the levying of customs duties;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Valuation Committee,
The following Article 11a is hereby inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 1495/80:
'Article 11a
1. In determining the period referred to in Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1224/80, the customs authorities shall take into account the particular nature of information and/or documents to be furnished. Where information or documents are not  supplied at the time of acceptance of the declaration, the period to be granted for their communication or production shall correspond, as a general rule, to that provided for in the Community provisions concerning release of goods for free circulation.
2. The customs authorities may, to the extent that it appears indispensable, extend the period fixed above. The total period granted shall take account of the prescribed periods in force.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/276/EEC of 17 July 1972 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to certain methods for the quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures (1),
Whereas the above Directive laid down uniform methods applicable to certain binary textile fibre mixtures in order to determine, in official tests carried out in Member States, the fibre composition of such textile products, as regards both the pre-treatment of the sample and its quantitative analysis;
Whereas it has proved necessary to adapt analysis methods Nos 3 and 6 in Annex II to Directive 72/276/EEC to the most recent developments in science and technology ; whereas the amendments provided for this purpose are essential for the implementation and use of such methods;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of Methods of Textile Analysis, provided for in Article 5 of Council Directive 72/276/EEC;
Whereas an early date must be specified for the entry into force of the provisions of national law necessary for the implementation of the Directive ; whereas such entry into force should therefore take place within six months of the notification of this Directive,
Annex II (2), methods No 3 and No 6, to Council Directive 72/276/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within six months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 363/96 of 26 February 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92 temporarily derogating from implementation of Community anti-dumping measures on imports into the Canary Islands of certain sensitive products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92 (2) introduced special measures for applying anti-dumping duties to imports into the Canary Islands of certain sensitive products; whereas these measures are designed to ensure optimum conditions for the supply of these products, to take account of particular problems in a given sector of local production intended for local consumption or tourism, and/or to allow access for consumer goods;
Whereas the special arrangements set out in Article 1 (2) and Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92 provide for full exemption from anti-dumping duties from 1 July 1991 to 31 December 1995 and the gradual increase of anti-dumping duties by 20 % per year from 1 January 1996, to become payable in full on 1 January 2000;
Whereas by letter of November 1995, the Spanish authorities requested that the first period of full exemption from payment of anti-dumping duties should be extended for another year so that the gradual collection of these duties should not start until 1 January 1997; whereas a similar extension is proposed with respect to the suspension of the common customs tariff duties on imports of the same products into the Canary Islands under Regulation (EEC) No 1605/92 (3);
Whereas it seems appropriate to allow operators in the Canary Islands an additional year to adjust to the new tariff arrangements being introduced;
Whereas it entails a simple alteration to the timetable contained in the special arrangements for anti-dumping duties within the transitional period expiring on 31 December 2000 laid down by Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the application of the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands (4);
Whereas Article 1 (2) and Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92 should be amended accordingly,
Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92 shall be replaced by the following:
'2. Under the specific arrangements referred to in paragraph 1:
- from 1 July 1991 to 31 December 1996, full exemption from anti-dumping duties shall be granted;
- from 1 January 1997, collection shall be gradually increased in accordance with the details given in Annex II.`
In Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1602/92 the 'Timetable for the gradual collection of anti-dumping duties payable on import into the Canary Islands of products listed in Annex I` shall be replaced by the following timetable.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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) (1),

Whereas:
(1) Article 3(1) and (2) of Protocol No 1 (3) to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (4), opens a tariff quota at a zero rate of duty for imports of untreated olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the Community, up to the limit laid down for each year.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 253/2004
of 13 February 2004
fixing the ceilings on financing for measures to improve the quality of the olive oil production in the 2004/05 production cycle and derogating from Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 of 10 March 1999 laying down measures to improve the quality of olive oil production(2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 lays down, for each Member State and for each 12 month production cycle beginning on 1 May, the financial arrangements for measures to improve the quality of olive oil production and its environmental impact.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1794/2003(3) fixes for the 2002/03 marketing year the estimated production of olive oil, including the estimated production of table olives expressed as olive oil equivalent, at 2148486 tonnes. This corresponds to 458202 tonnes for Greece, 972130 tonnes for Spain, 3357 tonnes for France, 686338 tonnes for Italy and 28459 tonnes for Portugal. The amount withheld from production aid for this olive oil marketing year serves as the basis for financing measures to improve the quality of oil during the production cycle commencing on 1 May 2004.
(3) The financial ceilings for the measures that are eligible for reimbursement from the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund should be fixed.
(4) As the measures have relatively fixed minimum costs, the ceilings on total financing laid down in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 for some Member States may therefore prove to be too low. Appropriate limits should therefore be established in those cases.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the production cycle from 1 May 2004 to 30 April 2005, the ceilings on financing for the measures laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999 shall be:
>TABLE>
Notwithstanding Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 528/1999, the additional national financial contribution from Member States whose ceiling on financing laid down in Article 1 is EUR 100000 or less shall be no more than EUR 250000.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
