Whereas Belgium transmitted to the Commission a memorandum concerning the multi-annual guidance programme for its fleet adopted on 21 December 1992;
Whereas in this memorandum the Belgian authorities considered that the strict application of the objectives envisaged by their programme would lead to the disappearance of the whole of the Belgian fishing industry because of the small size of the fleet;
Whereas the Belgian authorities evaluated the maximum reductions in capacity by segment of their fleet which were possible whilst maintaining a minimum level vital to their fishing industry;
Whereas these evaluations were communicated to the Commission on 9 June 1993;
Whereas the reductions in capacity thus obtained will represent a diminution in the global capacity of the Belgian fleet as at 1 January 1992 of the order of 15 % in power and 23 % in tonnage;
Whereas the measures envisaged in the present Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The table of objectives for the multi-annual guidance programmes for the Belgian fleet for the period 1993 to 1996, shown in the Annex to the present Decision, including the footnotes, cancels and replaces that shown in the Annex to Decision  92/589/EEC.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2155/2001
of 5 November 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001(2), and in particular Article 38(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 of 3 April 2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1648/2001(4), lays down in its Article 5(3) that the price to be paid to the successful tenderer shall be adjusted where carcasses taken over differ from the classification class O. In Belgium, a very large part of the cow meat production falls in the E and S classes. However, on the basis on the one hand of the current market prices for those animals and on the other hand of the coefficient of adjustment fixed in the Regulation, no carcasses classified in those two classes are likely to be delivered under the scheme. In order to improve the efficiency of the support measure the coefficient laid down for classes S and E in Annex IV should therefore be increased to a level which better reflects the market reality.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
The coefficient of "1,65" fixed for classes S and E in footnote 1 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 shall be replaced by "1,87".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to quantities awarded under the tender on 12 November 2001 and following tenders.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas benzene is recognized as being highly toxic and liable to affect the central nervous and herma- topoietic systems and to induce cancer and in particular leukaemia;
Whereas benzene is used inter alia as a constituent in the manufacture of certain toys, making it possible for children to absorb benzene by inhalation, ingestion or through the skin, thereby exposing them to the abovementioned hazards;
Whereas the fixing of a maximum concentration limit of benzene in the free state enables these hazards to be excluded;
Whereas benzene is governed by rules in certain Member States; whereas these rules differ as to the conditions of its marketing and use; whereas these differences constitute a barrier to trade and directly affect the establishment and functioning of the common market;
Whereas, in order to eliminate these differences, the Annex to Directive 76/769/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 79/663/EEC (5), should be supplemented;
Whereas the Scientific Advisory Committee on the Toxicity and Eco-Toxicity of Chemical Compounds has delivered an opinion on this point,
The following entry is hereby added to the Annex to Directive 76/769/EEC:
1.2 // '5. Benzene CAS No (Chemical Abstract Service Number) 71-43-2  // Not permitted in toys or parts of toys as placed on the market where the concentration of benzene in the free state is in excess of 5 mg/kg of the weight of the toy or part of toy.'
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within 12 months of its notification. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 166/89 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1582/86 of 23 May 1986 on particular intervention measures for cereals (3) lays down the general rules applicable to such measures;
Whereas the intervention period for maize ends on 31 May; whereas this time limit, in particular in view of the agreement with the United States on imports of maize and grain sorghum into Spain at a reduced levy, is likely to encourage operators to offer substantial quantities of maize for intervention at the end of May, although certain market outlets may still be found after that date; whereas this situation may be remedied by opening a possibility for the buying-in of that cereal in June 1989 for which the production is limited to certain regions of the Community;
Whereas the conditions for the buying-in of cereals are laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 of 23 May 1986 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 195/89 (5), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77 of 11 July 1977 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking over of cereals by intervention agencies (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3495/88 (7), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 of 11 July 1977 on price increases and reductions applicable to intervention in cereals (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2258/87 (9);

1. In accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1582/86, the intervention agencies shall buy in quantities of maize offered to them between 1 and 30 June 1989.
2. The price to be paid shall be the intervention price provided for in Article 7 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, as fixed for the 1988/89 marketing year, plus seven monthly increases, expressed in national currency using the representative rate applicable on 31 May 1989.
3. The quantities offered must be delivered by 15 August 1989 at the latest.
4. Subject to paragraph 2, buying-in shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 and Regulations (EEC) No 1569/77 and (EEC) No 1570/77.
