Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2201/90 (2), and in particular Article 6 (6) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, new aid arrangements in respect of specialized areas for the cultivation of sultanas, currants and muscatels take effect as from the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas these arrangements will gradually replace the existing system of production aid;
Whereas, under Article 6a (1) of the abovementioned Regulation, per hectare aid may, for the 1990/91 marketing year, account for only 15 % of the minimum price to be paid to producers for the 1989/90 marketing year; whereas the Community aid per hectare should be set at the level laid down in this Regulation;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1921/94 of 25 July 1994 amending Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries
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,
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/82 (1), subjected imports of a limited number of  products originating in the People's Republic of China to the Community quantitative quotas listed in Annex II to the Regulation, owing to the sensitivity of certain sectors of Community industry;
Whereas the Council, in setting the level of these quotas, strove to find a balance between an appropriate protection of the sectors of the Community industry concerned and the need to maintain an acceptable level of trade with the People's Republic of  China, taking into account the various interests involved;
Whereas, however, in the case of toys falling within CN code 9503 41, the implementation and administration of the quota have revealed that this objective has not been achieved in an entirely satisfactory way in 1994; whereas disruptions have occurred  in trade with the People's Republic of China that have affected Community economic sectors involved in the import, marketing and processing of those toys originating in that country and caused economic difficulties;
Whereas, in view of this, and without prejudice to a review of the situation, the quota in question should be adjusted upwards for the year 1994, in order to ease the transition between the previous import regime and the regime established by the  abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 519/94;
Whereas the amount by which the quota for 1994 is increased must be allocated to importers as swiftly as possible, in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a community procedure for  administering quantitative quotas (2),
In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94, 'ECU 158 965 083' in the column 'quotas (15 March to 31 December 1994)' concerning HS/CN code 9503 41 is replaced by 'ECU 204 500 000'.
The additional amounts for the 1994 quota shall be allocated in their entirety to importers as swiftly as possible, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Pressure drums, cylinder racks and tanks constructed before 1 July 2003 and other receptacles constructed before 1 July 2001 and maintained to the required safety levels may continue to be used under the original conditions.
The dates 30 June 2003 and 1 July 2003 shall be put back for pressure drums, cylinder racks and tanks for which there are no detailed technical requirements or for which no sufficient references to appropriate European standards have been added to the Annex."
