However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by a certain percentage according to whether it is husked or milled rice, minus the cif import price provided that duty does not exceed the rate of the Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas, the finalization of the many detailed rules required for the implementation of the aid system instituted by Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 has taken more time than was initially anticipated as a result of which the time limits laid down in Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1545/89 now need to be extended; whereas it is necessary to take account of certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income (3) so as to ensure that aids authorized under the present Regulation will be duly taken into account;

'(a) draft measures for the institution or amendment of which have been notified to the Commission before 23 December 1989 pursuant to Article 93 (3) of the Treaty';
2. Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
'2. Paragraph 1 shall apply only to income aids which it is decided to grant to individual recipients before 1 January 1991 and which are at least in part paid to them before that date.';

However in no case shall this reduction for any holding exceed the actual payment per annual agricultural work unit on that holding.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 December 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular Article 136(1) thereof,

Commission Decision
of 6 August 2001
amending Decision 94/984/EC as regards the importation of fresh poultry meat from Brazil
(notified under document number C(2001) 2469)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2001/659/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultry meat(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/89/EC(2), and in particular Articles 11 and 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 94/984/EC of 20 December 1994 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of fresh poultry meat from certain third countries(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/598/EC(4), provides for veterinary certificates containing two different health attestations, model A and model B, their use depending on the Newcastle disease situation in the country concerned.
(2) Certain regions of Brazil are entitled to use the model A certificate for the exportation of poultry meat to the Community.
(3) Outbreaks of Newcastle disease have affected some non-commercial poultry flocks in the State of Goiás. Therefore this region of Brazil which is authorised to export fresh poultry meat to the Community is no longer free of Newcastle disease.
(4) An inspection carried out by the Commission's services in Brazil in October 2000 to assess the animal health situation and the additional information received from the Brazilian authorities have shown that their disease control measures for outbreaks of Newcastle disease are equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease(5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden.
(5) It is appropriate on this basis to continue to allow the importation of fresh poultry meat from this region. Health attestation model A should therefore be amended.
(6) It is appropriate to restrict the scope of this Decision to poultry species covered by Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultry meat(6), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(7), and, if necessary, to lay down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for other poultry species in a separate Decision.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annex II part 2 model A to Decision 94/984/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply to fresh poultry meat certified as from 1 September 2001.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
