24.12.1996 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 335/10
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2470/96
of 17 December 1996
providing for an extension of the terms of a Community plant variety right in respect of potatoes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights (1), and in particular Article 19 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas it is recognized that technical difficulties in potato breeding require expenditure of research activities for a long period in comparison with the overwhelming majority of all the other agricultural crops; whereas, in addition, experience on the market has shown that a new potato variety reveals its commercial value only in the long term in comparison with those agricultural species requiring also long-term research activities; whereas, for these reasons, an equitable refunding of the research activities is only possible at a fairly late stage of the protection in comparison with the other agricultural crops;
Whereas, in order to establish a legal environment conducive to achieving such equitable refunding, an extension of the initial duration of a Community plant variety right by a further five years in the case of potatoes is the most appropriate measure;
Whereas such extension should apply to all valid Community plant variety rights which were granted prior to the entry into force of this Regulation or which will be granted in future unless such a right is duly surrendered by the holder or terminated by a decision of the Community Plant Variety Office;
Whereas the period of extension should be reduced if a national property right or rights in respect of the same variety has or have been effective in a Member State prior to the grant of a Community plant variety right and, accordingly, would have allowed a breeder already to take advantage of his variety; whereas a comparable principle was already laid down under the transitional provisions of Article 116 of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94,
1.   The duration of the Community plant variety right, as provided for in Article 19 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 shall in respect of varieties of potatoes, be extended by a further five years, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 116 (4) indent of the said Regulation.
2.   In the case of varieties for which a national plant variety right was granted prior to the grant of the Community plant variety right, but to which Article 116 (4) 4th indent of the said Regulation does not apply, the extension referred to in paragraph 1 shall be reduced by the longest period in full years during which any national property right or rights granted have been effective in a Member State in respect of the same variety prior to the grant of the Community plant variety right.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that 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.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1340/98 of 24 June 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 authorises the Commission to adopt the measures required to facilitate the switch-over from the arrangements existing before implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round negotiations to those resulting from the adjustments to agricultural legislation provided for in the abovementioned Regulation; whereas such transitional measures may be adopted only up to 30 June 1998 and may not apply beyond that date; whereas it transpires that certain matters which are currently regulated by transitional measures cannot be settled definitively before the above date; whereas these matters concern in particular certain arrangements entered into with third countries; whereas it is therefore necessary to extend by one year the period during which the Commission may adopt transitional measures,
In Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, the date '30 June 1998` shall be replaced by '30 June 1999`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(5) The representative prices and additional import duties for the products concerned should be fixed in accordance with Articles 1(2) and 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2342/97 of 26 November 1997 establishing the supply balance for the Azores and Madeira with products from the eggs and poultrymeat sectors and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1726/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures for the Azores and Madeira concerning certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1262/97 (4), fixes for the period 1 July 1997 to 31 December 1997 the quantities of breeding material originating in the Community which benefit from an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the Azores and Madeira; whereas these quantities should be determined for the egg and poultrymeat sectors for the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998, taking account of local production and traditional trade flows and ensuring that the proportion of products supplied from the Community is preserved;
Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the requirements of Madeira, and so as not to interrupt application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance was drawn up for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 by Regulation (EC) No 1262/97; whereas as a result of the presentation by the Portuguese authorities of information on the needs of Madeira, it was possible to establish the balance for the entire 1997/98 period; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1726/92 should thus be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation;

Whereas the fact that the Community aid is fixed in the light of the present situation on the market for the products in question and in particular of the prices for such products in the European part of the Community and on the world market results in the aid for the supply of egg and poultrymeat to the Azores and Madeira being fixed at the amounts given in the Annex;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1726/92 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
