Commission Regulation (EC) No 1922/2002
of 28 October 2002
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Canary Islands and Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the outermost regions
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Canary Islands and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (Poseican)(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1195/2002(2), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 introduces specific supply arrangements for a certain number of agricultural products which are essential in the Canary Islands for human consumption, processing or as agricultural inputs. Among the products intended for feed are lucerne meal and pellets.
(2) Lucerne meal and pellets represent a significant component of Canary Islands livestock feed. However, they are not sufficient to meet in full the protein and fibre requirements in the feed of ruminants, especially in a competitive situation where major efforts are made to produce quality meat and dairy products.
(3) It is appropriate therefore to broaden the scope of the Canary Islands' specific supply arrangements to include long fibre lucerne, which could be incorporated into the protein and fibre diet of Canary Islands ruminants.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) Following on from the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001, Part 1 of Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 of 28 December 2001 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the outermost regions under Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2002(4), should be amended to include lucerne other than in the form of meal or pellets.
(6) In order to better meet supply needs, soya oilcake, lucerne pellets and other forms of lucerne should be placed in one single group without changing the total quantity.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 should therefore also be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the joint meeting of the Management Committees for Dried Fodder, Hops and Oils and Fats,
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001, the following line is added after the last line but one:
">TABLE>".
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following 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.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 of 10 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3297/93 (3), and in particular
Article 16
(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 provides that where the quantities of bananas originating in one and the same ACP State listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for which import licences are applied for exceed the  indicative quantity fixed for the period in question, the Commission is to set a single reduction percentage to all licence applications mentioning that country of origin;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3298/93 (4) fixes indicative quantities for imports of bananas into the Community for the first quarter of 1994 for imports originating in the ACP States under the traditional quantities imported;
Whereas, for Cameroon, the quantities requested for traditional imports of ACP bananas during the first quarter of 1994 are higher than the quantities fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 3298/93; whereas, as a result, a single reduction percentage should be  fixed for each application indicating this country or origin pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93;
Whereas this Regulation should take effect without delay in order to allow licences to be issued as quickly as possible,
For the first quarter of 1994, as regards licence applications for traditional imports of bananas originating in the ACP States, import licences shall be issued:
- for the quantity indicated in the licence application, multiplied by a reduction coefficient of 87,6036 % for applications indicating the origin Cameroon,
- in the case of applications indicating other origins, for the quantities indicated in the application.
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 the Interim Agreements with Poland (3), Hungary (4) and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (5) provide that imports of certain red fruit originating in those countries are subject to a minimum import price; whereas the frequency at which the  prices are controlled requires Member States to communicate certain information rapidly and at very frequent intervals; whereas for other red fruits and for the same product originating in Yugoslavia as it was on 1 January 1991, it is necessary to be  able to follow the import trends regularly;
Whereas, for statistical purposes, the Belgo-Luxembourg Economic Union (BLEU) is considered as a single territory; whereas, as regards the communications to be transmitted to the Commission, it should be considered as a single Member State;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the products and countries of origin listed in the Annex hereto, Member States shall communicate to the Commission the quantities placed on the market and their values.
2.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1590/2003
of 11 September 2003
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 September 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:

(2) Following the validation of some of those methods in accordance with internationally recognised criteria, they have now been recognised as reference methods and described as such in Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90.
(3) Furthermore, certain simplified methods described in Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 allow those components that are most meaningful in terms of wine controls, in particular sulphur dioxide, sugars and some other substances present in wine, to be determined quickly and with sufficient certainty. To ensure that analysis procedures in the Community are uniform, the descriptions of those methods must be allowed to stand in Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Article 44(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1622/2000 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘2.   Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 shall apply to products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. Chapters 12(3), 18(3), 23(3), 25(3) and 37(3) and (4) of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90 are hereby deleted from 1 August 2005.’
