Whereas Article 12 (3) thereof provides that, in regions of the Community where recognized producer groups ensure to their members a fair income and administer supply in a rational manner, aid will be granted only to these groups;
Whereas the said Regulation provides that the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission based on communications from the Member States, is to adopt a list of such regions ; whereas provision must therefore be made for the Member States to communicate to the Commission the regions which fulfil the conditions mentioned above;
Whereas, in order to enable the Council to adopt the list of these regions for each harvest before cultivation begins, it is necessary for the communications from Member States to reach the Commission in time;
Whereas the Commission must be in a position to bring up to date before each harvest the breakdown of the hop varieties cultivated in the Community into the groups of varieties referred to in Article 12 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71;
Whereas the said Article 12 (5) provides that account is to be taken, when calculating aid, of income at the level of the recognized producer groups ; whereas Member States must therefore communicate their data distinguishing between groups and individual producers;
Whereas an addition to this effect should be made to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 776/73 of 20 March 1973 on registration of contracts and communication of data with respect to hops (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 209/77 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,

Whereas provision should be made for the free-at-frontier price and the levy to be altered only where there is a substantial change in the basis of calculation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 1998 on the application of open network provision (ONP) to voice telephony and on universal service for telecommunications in a competitive environment(1), and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 28 of Directive 98/10/EC provides for the modification of its Annex III in order to adapt it to new technical developments and to changes in market demand.
(2) The ETSI technical report ETR 138 on quality of service referred to in Annex III to Directive 98/10/EC is not adjusted to a multi-operator liberalised market. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has adopted an ETSI guide EG 201 769-1 to replace ETSI ETR 138, developed on the basis of the set of proposals from the Commission, which took into account the opinions of the ONP Committee and market players.
(3) The two parameters "Unsuccessfull call ratio" and "Call set up time" are becoming less important, given the high quality of digital fixed telephone networks and Member States should be able to refrain from requiring operators to measure these two parameters if the quality is satisfactory.
(4) The amendment of Annex III to Directive 98/10/EC adopted in this Decision contains the harmonised set of quality of service parameters to be used across the European Union, but Member States may in addition decide to include other parameters.
(5) In accordance with Article 28 of Directive 98/10/EC, the Commission has submitted the draft Decision for an opinion of the ONP Committee, under the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Directive 98/10/EC.
(6) The amendment of Annex III to Directive 98/10/EC adopted in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the ONP Committee,
Annex III to Directive 98/10/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision within two months of the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
