Whereas, by Decision 82/887/EEC (4), the Council undertook to implement, over a period of three years starting on 1 January 1983, a concerted action research project in the field of shore-based marine navigation aid systems;
Whereas the research programmes cannot be completed by the date fixed in the said Decision, partly owing to much broader participation than expected in each of the seven programmes and partly owing to the need to complete some programmes with tests or surveys in order to validate their results;
Whereas the project has already involved major investment, and it would be unfortunate to limit the effects thereof or, more often than not, render them void by halting the work before it is really complete;
Whereas, under these circumstances, it is advisable to extend the implementation period for the concerted action project in question by one year;
Whereas the Committee for Scientific and Technical Research (CREST) has delivered its opinion on the Commission proposal,
Decision 82/887/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The first paragraph of Article 1 is hereby replaced by the following:
'The Community shall implement, over a period of four years from 1 January 1983, a concerted action research project in the field of shore-based marine navigation aid systems hereinafter referred to as "the project".'

Whereas the application of the criteria for fixing Community aid to the current situation on the market in the product group in question and in particular to the quotations or prices for those products in the European part of the Community and on the world market results in the aid for supplies to the Canary Islands being fixed at the levels set out in the Annex;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1261/96 is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.

Commission Decision
of 11 September 2000
refusing to grant the Turks and Caicos Islands a derogation concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" with regard to rice of CN code 1006 30
(notified under document number C(2000) 2652)
(2000/573/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community(1), as amended at mid-term by Decision 97/803/EC(2), and in particular Article 30 of Annex II thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Article 30 of Annex II to the said Decision concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation provides that, under certain conditions, derogations from the rules of origin may be granted whenever the development of an existing industry or the establishment of a new one in a country or territory warrants it.
(2) The United Kingdom has requested for the Turks and Caicos Islands a derogation from the rule of origin in Annex II for non-ACP rice processed and exported from the Turks and Caicos Islands for a period of five years, for 8950 tonnes per annum.
(3) Article 6 of Annex II provides for ACP/OCT cumulation. The Turks and Caicos Islands have the possibility to purchase rice, originating in the ACP countries of the region. Therefore the application of the existing rules of origin does not affect the ability of their industry to export rice to the Community. As a result, the requested derogation is not duly justified within the meaning of Article 30(1) of Annex II, and more in particular with regard to Article 30(3) and the cumulation provisions referred to in Article 30(4),
The request submitted on 21 June 2000 by the Government of the United Kingdom on behalf of the Turks and Caicos Islands for a derogation from the definition of the concept of "originating products" with regard to its production of rice of CN code 1006 30, is hereby rejected.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
