COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3294/91  of 12 November 1991  fixing for the period 1991/92 certain coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages
THE COMMISSION 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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such  refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3708/89 (4), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control, weighted by a coefficient fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the  ratio between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, the relevant information having been received from the United Kingdom for the period 1 January to 31 December 1990, the  coefficients for the period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable export trends in one of the Member States concerned show a tendency to change significantly; whereas this assessment  may be made by taking account of a sufficiently long reference period to eliminate short, insignificant fluctuations; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question complies with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of  less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992, the coefficient referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of Scotch whisky shall be as shown in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 8 December 1988
amending Decision 82/947/EEC authorizing the United Kingdom to restrict the marketing of seed of certain varieties of agricultural plant species
(Only the English text is authentic)
(88/625/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2), (3) and (7) thereof;
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC, seed and propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted in at least one of the Member States in accordance with the provisions of the said Directive are in principle subject to no marketing restrictions relating to variety within the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the United Kingdom was authorized by Commission Decision 82/947/EEC (3) to prohibit the marketing of seed of certain varieties of agricultural plant species, including the wheat variety Campremy;
Whereas, in respect of the variety Campremy, the authorization was granted on the ground that, when assessed in accordance with the national rules governing the acceptance of varieties in the United Kingdom, which apply as part of current Community provisions, the variety was not considered sufficiently uniform with regard to certain of its characteristics (Article 15 (3) (a) of Directive 70/457/EEC);
Whereas the variety can now after all be considered sufficiently uniform and the United Kingdom has requested that the authorization be withdrawn;
Whereas, therefore, the authorization can no longer be justified by the aforementioned provision of Directive 70/457/EEC and Decision 82/947/EEC should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
In Article 1 (II) of Decision 82/947/EEC the following point is deleted:
'2. Triticum aestivum L.
Campremy'.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom.

Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 19 December 2002
on the mobilisation of the flexibility instrument according to point 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999
(2003/133/EC)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure(1), and in particular point 24 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Following the non-renewal of the fisheries agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco, a specific action for the conversion of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets was decided for an amount of EUR 197 million. Of this total the budgetary authority agreed on 21 and 22 November 2001 at the conciliation meeting between the Council and a delegation of the European Parliament, with the participation of the Commission, to enter EUR 27 million in the 2003 budget.
(2) The actions for the conversion of Spanish and Portuguese fleets fall under heading 2 "structural measures", sub-heading "Structural Funds" of the financial perspectives.
(3) In accordance with point 12, paragraph 2 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure, the appropriations foreseen for actions covered by heading 2 "structural measures" of the financial perspectives do not leave any margin under the ceiling.
(4) At the conciliation meeting on 25 November 2002, the European Parliament and the Council have accepted transfer No 51/2002 which provides EUR 14991760 from unused appropriations in the 2002 budget onto the line B2-2 0 0. They have also agreed to inscribe the remaining EUR 12008240 on B2-2 0 0 for the budget year 2003. This amount will be beyond the ceiling of heading 2 for 2003 and has therefore to be financed from the flexibility instrument.
(5) In particular, for the action of conversion of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets, it is then appropriate to make an exception to the general rule of the Interinstitutional Agreement, providing that: "the flexibility instrument should not, as a rule, be used to cover the same needs two years running.",
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2003 (hereinafter "the 2003 budget"), the flexibility instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 12008240 in commitment appropriations.
This amount shall be used for the financing of the targeted measure for the promotion of the conversion of vessels and of fishermen who were, until 1999, dependent on the fisheries agreement with Morocco, covered by the "structural measures" heading of the financial perspectives, under line B2-2 0 0 of the 2003 budget.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities at the same time as the 2003 budget.
