COMMISSION REGULATION  (EC) No 2728/95 of 27 November 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 918/94 derogating from Regulation  (EEC) No 778/83 laying down the quality standards for tomatoes, as regards tomatoes attached to the  stalk (trusses of tomatoes)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of  the market in fruit and vegetables  (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95   (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 918/94  (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3301/94   (4), derogates from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 778/83  (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)  No 1657/92  (6), so as to authorize for a trial period the marketing of tomatoes attached to the  stalk (trusses of tomatoes) during the 1994 marketing year; whereas that period was extended to the  1995 marketing year by Regulation (EC) No 3301/94; whereas the marketing year for tomatoes runs  from 1 January to 31 December of a given year;
Whereas it would appear appropriate definitively to insert the provisions authorizing the marketing  of tomatoes attached to the stalk (trusses of tomatoes) in Regulation (EEC) No 778/83; whereas,  however, pending the result of the reform of the common organization of the market in fresh fruit  and vegetables, the said trial period should be extended for a further marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
In Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 918/94, '1995` is replaced by  '1996`.

It shall apply from 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 July 2012
establishing the position to be taken by the European Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organisation on the Philippines’ request for a WTO waiver to extend the special treatment for rice
(2012/410/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Philippines was provided with special treatment for rice for a period of 10 years upon the entry into force of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation (WTO Agreement) and in particular the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA).
(2) In accordance with the AoA the Philippines was subsequently granted an extension of the special treatment for rice from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2012 by modifying its Schedule LXXV.
(3) Continuation of special treatment for rice after 30 June 2012 was contingent on the outcome of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) negotiations, providing an alternative special mechanism. However, the DDA negotiations have not yet been concluded.
(4) The Philippines notified the Committee on Agriculture of the WTO on 22 November 2011 of its intention to enter into negotiations with WTO Members that have substantial interest in the products concerned for the continuation of its special treatment for rice.
(5) Article IX paragraphs 3 and 4 of the WTO Agreement sets out the procedures for the granting of waivers concerning Multilateral Trade Agreements.
(6) On that basis on 20 March 2012, the Philippines requested a WTO waiver from its obligations under Article 4.2 and Section B of Annex 5 of the AoA in order to receive special treatment for rice from 1 July 2012 until 30 June 2017.
(7) The Union is a net importer of rice. The granting of this waiver would thus be of minimal economic and trade importance to the Union.
(8) It is appropriate, therefore, to establish the position to be taken by the Union within the WTO General Council in relation to this waiver request,
The position to be taken by the European Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organisation is to support the Philippines’ waiver request to extend its special treatment for rice from 1 July 2012 until 30 June 2017 in accordance with the terms of the waiver request.
This position shall be expressed by the Commission.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1897/2002(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1948/2002(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The maximum export refund on wholly milled grain, medium grain and long grain A rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1897/2002 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 21 to 24 April 2003 at 153,00 EUR/t.
