establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 of 21 December 2007 laying down implementing rules for Council Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1182/2007 in the fruit and vegetable sector (2), and in particular Article 138(1) thereof,
Whereas:
Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XV, Part A thereto,
The standard import values referred to in Article 138 of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 are fixed in the Annex hereto.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 734/2007
of 11 June 2007
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) For intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organisation rules, basic Community financing rules have been set by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as to the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from tying up the funds needed for intervention purchasing, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage.
(2) Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States in mobilising the funds used to purchase public intervention products are to be financed by the Community at a uniform interest rate.
(3) It may appear that in certain Member States the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate.
(4) Where, in such cases, the average interest rate, in the course of the third month following the reference period used for the establishment of the uniform interest rate by the Commission, is more than twice the uniform interest rate for a given Member State, provision should be made for a correcting mechanism to be applied. This average interest rate should nevertheless be partially borne by the Member State concerned in order to encourage it to seek the least costly financing method.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) This amendment to the rules should be carried out for the financial years 2007 and 2008 and should apply from the beginning of the current accounting year,
The third subparagraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 is replaced by the following:
‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, if the average interest rate borne by a Member State in the course of the third month following the reference period used for the establishment of the uniform interest rate by the Commission is more than twice the uniform interest rate, the Commission may, for the financial years 2007 and 2008, in financing the interest costs incurred by that Member State, cover the amount which corresponds to the interest rate borne by this Member State minus the uniform rate of interest.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to expenditure incurred from 1 October 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(4) The first subparagraph of Article 6 of the said Regulation should be reworded in order to describe correctly the method of decreasing the aid, should the maximum guaranteed quantity be overrun.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 should therefore be corrected accordingly.
(6) Given that the corrections have no negative effect on economic operators, this Regulation should apply from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003,
Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 is hereby corrected as follows:
1. In point (a) of the first column of the table in Article 1, CN codes ‘ex 1214 90 91 and ex 1214 90 99’ shall be replaced by CN code ‘ex 1214 90 90’.
