Commission Regulation (EC) No 1496/2001
of 20 July 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 1209/2001 and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 47(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1209/2001(2) introduces a number of derogations to Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000(3), in order to deal with the exceptional market situation resulting from the recent events linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). The subsequent epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has made certain further amendments necessary.
(2) It is convenient to introduce the possibility of buying-in carcasses weighing more than the maximum weight while restricting in that case the buying-in price to that of the maximum authorised weight. With regard to the purchase of forequarters, this restriction should be applied by limiting their buying-in price to 40 % of the maximum payable weight for carcasses.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1209/2001 should therefore be amended.
(4) In view of the development of events this Regulation must enter into force immediately.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1209/2001 is replaced by the following: "3. Notwithstanding Article 4(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, for the third quarter of 2001 the maximum weight of the carcasses referred to therein shall be 390 kg; however, carcasses weighing more than 390 kg may be bought into intervention but in that case the buying-in price paid shall not exceed the price for that maximum weight or, in the case of forequarters, the buying-in price paid shall not exceed the price for 40 % of the maximum payable weight."
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.

Whereas in the light of the importance of the programme for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of animal health, it is appropriate to fix the financial participation of the Community at 50 % of the costs incurred by Italy up to a maximum of ECU 200 000;
Whereas a financial contribution from the Community shall be granted in so far as the actions provided for are carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limits provided for;

1. Financial participation by the Community shall be at the rate of 50 % of the costs of virological and serological testing and those incurred in Italy by way of compensation for owners for the slaughter of animals up to a maximum of ECU 200 000.
2. The financial contribution of the Community shall be granted subject to:

amending Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector

(2) On the deadline of 31 January 2007 isoglucose producers were not, unlike sugar producers, in a position to make such a request due to the continuous, year-round nature of their production. In the interests of fairness this deadline should, for isoglucose producers, be postponed to the end of the 2006/2007 marketing year to enable them to take their decision and make their request in full knowledge of the facts.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for sugar,
In Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 493/2006, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
‘1.   For each undertaking, the share of the production of sugar, isoglucose or inulin syrup in the 2006/2007 marketing year which is produced under the quota allocated in accordance with the quotas laid down in Annex IV and which exceeds the threshold established in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article shall be considered withdrawn within the meaning of Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 or, at the request of the undertaking concerned submitted before 31 January 2007 for sugar and before 30 September 2007 for isoglucose, shall be considered fully or partially to have been produced in excess of the quota within the meaning of Article 12 of that Regulation.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
