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 organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20d (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (4), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 20d of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that a percentage of the production aid is to be withheld to help finance the work of the producer organizations and associations thereof;
Whereas Article 8 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 of 31 October 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 637/95 (6), provides that the unit amounts to be paid to producer organizations and associations thereof are to be fixed on the basis of forecasts of the overall sum to be distributed; whereas the amount withheld was fixed for the 1995/96 marketing year by Council Regulation (EC) No 1535/95 (7); whereas the funds which will be available in each Member State as a result of the abovementioned amount withheld must be redistributed to those eligible in a suitable manner;
Whereas to ensure that the distribution of funds among the producer organizations and associations is uniformly implemented, and with a view to clarity, a specific operative event should be established for the agricultural conversion rate for the amounts fixed; whereas, given the nature of the measure and to facilitate the management thereof, 1 February 1996 should be fixed as the operative event;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No  2879/95 of 13 December 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 on the rules for granting aid to  skimmed milk processed into compound feedingstuffs and skimmed-milk powder intended for feed for  calves
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of  the market in milk and milk products  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1538/95  (2), and  in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79  (3), as last amended  by Regulation (EC) No 1585/95  (4), the granting of aid for skimmed-milk powder processed into  compound feedingstuffs is conditional upon the requirement that the latter contain not less than 50  kg of powder per 100 kg of the finished product;
Whereas paragraph 1a of that Article lays down, however, that the said minimum quantity shall be  fixed at 35 kilograms for the period 1 February 1993 to 31 December 1995; whereas the trend on the  market in skimmed-milk powder justifies maintaining this derogation until 30 June 1996;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
In Article 4 (1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79, 'between 1 February  1993 and 31 December 1995' is replaced by 'between 1 February 1993 and 30 June 1996`.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 12/1999 of 7 January 1999 amending Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of import licences for products processed from fruit and vegetables and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2199/97 (2), and in particular Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2427/95 (4), lists the products for which import licences are required and the relevant securities; whereas experience gained with those import control measures and the development of trade and statistical methods allow some products to be deleted from that Annex; whereas, following such deletion, Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 serves no further purpose and should be deleted;
Whereas, under the tariff ceiling for processed sour cherries originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia fixed in Council Regulation (EC) No 77/98 (5) and administered pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 123/98 (6), the products covered by CN code ex 0813 40 95 should be added to the list of products for which import licences are required and the relevant securities should be fixed;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90 (7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1032/95 (8), establishes the list of products to which Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 is applicable; whereas, on the one hand, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2493/98 (10), makes provision for that measure as regards preserved mushrooms and Commission Regulations (EC) No 122/98 (11), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1057/98 (12) and (EC) No 123/98 make provision therefore as regards processed sour cherries originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia and in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and, on the other hand, maintaining that list seems unnecessary for the other products and origins; whereas, for the sake of clarity and efficiency of administration, Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90 should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
Regulation (EC) No 1921/95 is amended as follows:
1. Article 6 is deleted.
2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.
Regulation (EEC) No 3566/90 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 as regards the additive composition of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 (holder of authorisation Chr. Hansen A/S) and its use in feed containing formic acid
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299, belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the holder of the authorisation has proposed changing the terms of the authorisation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 to modify the additive composition by increasing the minimum concentration and to allow its use in feed for chickens for fattening containing formic acid. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).
(3) The Authority concluded in its opinion of 15 March 2011 that the increase of the minimum concentration from 1,6 × 109 to 1,6 × 1010 CFU/g is unlikely to introduce new hazards and that the modified composition is compatible with formic acid. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1137/2007 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (4), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorized to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements warrant this;
Whereas in Ireland the technical requirements relating to the use of the grading method and, consequently, commercial practice, lead sometimes to the removal of the kidneys, the flare fat and the diaphragm (including the thick skirt); in other cases the tongue sometimes remains at the carcase; whereas this should be taken into account in adjusting to the weight for standard presentation; whereas Commission Decision 87/293/EEC (5) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Decision 87/293/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following Article 1a is inserted:
'Article 1a
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the flare fat, the kidneys and the diaphragm (including the thick skirt) may be removed from pig carcases or such carcases may be presented with the tongue before being weighed and graded; in such cases, the weight of the warm carcase shall be calculated by reference to the scale of percentage adjustments shown in Annex II.'
2. The present Annex becomes Annex I.
3. The Annex to this Decision is added as Annex II.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
