Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs(1), as amended by Decision 98/603/EC(2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
(1) Whereas Council Decision 79/542/EEC(3), as last amended by Commission Decision 1999/417/EC(4), draws up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh meat and meat products;
(2) Whereas Council Directive 94/65/EEC(5) lays down the requirements for the production, placing on the market and import of minced meat and meat preparations;
(3) Whereas the Commission has received from certain third countries lists of establishments, with guarantees that they fully meet the appropriate Community health requirements and that should an establishment fail to do so its export activities to the European Community will be suspended;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1110/91  of 30 April 1991  amending Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Articles 6 (3) (a) and 12 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1279/90 (3), and in particular Article 8 thereof, defines the conditions under which aid may be capitalized;
Whereas experience shows that the conditions set for capitalization in Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 are too restrictive in that they do not include some systems of aid which reflect at least certain basic features already accepted as warranting treatment  as capitalized systems; whereas it would seem to run counter to the objectives of Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 to exclude such systems from benefit under the capitalization facilities provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aids,
Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 is hereby replaced by the following text:
'2. (a) Where capitalization facilities are provided for in a given PAIA all potential beneficiaries fulfilling the conditions set out in Article 1 (2) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 may be offered a choice between capitalized or  non-capitalized payments. Where no such choice is granted the Member State concerned shall indicate in the draft PAIA the non-capitalized basis upon which the capitalized payments are to be made.
(b) A capitalized aid may also include one which is partially capitalized where the payments are spread over a number of years provided the pattern of payments over the years in question reflects costs per work unit greater than ECU 1 000 in the first  year. The degressivity of such payments shall comply with Article 6.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 (O35) as a feed additive for chickens for fattening to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 17 October 2006 that the preparation of Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 (O35) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). It further concluded that that preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(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 preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
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.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 518/2003

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 29,575/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 March 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
