THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 (4) introduced measures for structural improvements in the inland waterway sector; whereas that Regulation sets out to reduce structural overcapacity in inland waterway transport by providing for vessel-scrapping schemes coordinated at Community level; whereas that Regulation provides for the possibility of a Community financial contribution to the scrapping funds for 1995;
Whereas the system of structural improvements currently in force is in principle to be financed primarily by the operators in the sector by means of annual contributions;
Whereas public contributions must be granted annually, in line with the contributions made by the trade; whereas measures are scheduled for a period of three years, namely 1996, 1997 and 1998 and whereas they must be assessed annually;
Whereas provision for a financial contribution from the Community should be envisaged for the year 1996 only;
Whereas the financial contributions from the Member States in question must be calculated against the size of their fleets for the years 1996, 1997 and 1998,
In Article 4 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89:

- 'and 1996` shall be inserted after '1995` in paragraph 2;
2. the following paragraphs shall be added:
'3. The Member States in question shall jointly make available from their funds sufficient amounts to achieve, along with the Community contribution fixed for the year 1996 only, the structural improvement objectives for the years 1996, 1997 and 1998. The proportionate share of each Member State concerned shall be calculated against the size of its active fleet as compared with that of the Member States' total fleet. These amounts shall be determined by the Commission in conjunction with the authorities of the various scrapping funds.
4. At the beginning of each year during the scrapping operations for 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Commission shall lay down, as part of this Regulation, the procedures for scrapping for the year in progress as a function of available finances, market developments and liberalization measures taken.`

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 312/2005
of 24 February 2005
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 February 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Council Regulation (EC) No 2789/2000
of 14 December 2000
extending Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial products intended to equip the free zones of the Azores and Madeira as regards the Madeira free zone
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93(1) establishes, until 31 December 2000, a temporary suspension of autonomous Common Customs Tariffs for certain industrial products intended to equip the free zones of the Azores and Madeira.
(2) As provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93, the Commission, after consulting the competent Portuguese authorities, examined the effects of the measures adopted on the development of the free zone of Caniรงal (Madeira), which is at present the only free zone in the outermost regions of Portugal.
(3) Initially, these measures had a positive effect on the creation and establishment of new businesses and on the development of a number of industrial activities, especially in the textiles, plastics and glass sectors. More recently, economic conditions and infrastructure problems have led to a slow-down in the emergence of new industries and paralysed part of the processing sector. This situation should come to an end once the free-zone infrastructure and enlargement work presently being carried out is completed, and new innovative processing industries are established, alongside those which perform simpler recycling, packaging and storage tasks.
(4) For their part, the Portuguese authorities have expressed an interest in extending these measures for a period of time in no case shorter than that which was previously granted, so as to encourage industrial investment in the Madeira free zone, and thus promote the region's socio-economic development.
(5) Upon detailed examination of the situation and the impact of the measures adopted, such an extension of the time-limit on these measures does indeed appear likely to give a further boost to the development of industrial activities in the free zone; the suspension of the autonomous Common Customs Tariffs for capital equipment should therefore be extended, as requested by the Portuguese authorities.
(6) Nonetheless, in order to avoid directly affecting the functioning of the common market, a time limit must be set for this measure,
The suspension referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93 shall be extended until 31 December 2008 with regard to the Madeira free zone.
In the course of the year 2008, after consulting the competent Portuguese authorities, the Commission will again examine the effects of the measures adopted on the development of the Madeira free zone and will, if required, make appropriate proposals.
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 January 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

fixing the maximum export refund on wholly milled round grain rice in connection with the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2007/2001

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2007/2001(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95(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 round grain rice to be exported to certain third countries pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2007/2001 is hereby fixed on the basis of the tenders submitted from 19 to 25 October 2001 at 179,00 EUR/t.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 October 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
