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 Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in particular Article 19a (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1852/85 of 2 July 1985 laying down detailed rules of application with a view to exempt Member States from the obligation to buy in certain types of fruit and vegetables (3) specified what information the Member States were to provide to the Commission with a view to their being exempted if they so requested, as provided for in Article 19a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, from intervention purchasing;
Whereas this information must concern either the proportion of each of the products indicated in Article 19a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 marketed through recognized producer organizations or the proportion harvested in the Member State concerned during the last three marketing years;
Whereas the Member States have supplied this information; whereas the conditions for exemption laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1852/85 are met by certain Member States for certain products for the 1996/97 marketing year; whereas those Member States which have so applied should therefore be exempted from the obligation to make intervention purchases,
The following Member States are hereby exempted from the obligations to make intervention purchases, as provided for in Article 19a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, of pears from 1 July to 31 August 1996, and peaches, apricots, tomatoes and aubergines during the 1996/97 marketing year:

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1140/2004
of 21 June 2004
suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain fishery products originating in Ceuta and Melilla
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 656/2000 (1), the Council opened zero-duty Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products originating in Ceuta, which expired on 31 December 2002.
(2) In October 2002 Spain asked to extend the validity of the quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 656/2000 and backed its request with social and economic arguments on Ceuta, showing the constraints under which its economy is operating and the difficulties faced by the local fishing industry. The request is justified as the economic situation in Ceuta requires the adoption of preferential measures to facilitate its exports to the Community.
(3) With the Council and Commission Decision 2000/204/EC, ECSC of 24 January 2000 on the conclusion of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other part (2), the Community fully suspended the import duties of Common Customs Tariff for a wide range of fishery products originating in Morocco. The imports of these products into the Community are not subject to any quantity limitations and their range is far wider than the range of products which are covered by the tariff quotas opened for the Ceuta. Considering that Morocco surrounds the territories of Ceuta and Melilla from the land side, it is appropriate to stop further discrimination and to grant Ceuta and Melilla preferential treatment for the same range of fishery products in order to provide for similar business opportunities and to promote the economic development in those territories.
(4) Since the association agreement with Morocco does not provide for any time limits for the application of the preferential treatment for the fishery products no time limit should be introduced for this Regulation.
(5) Eligibility for the tariff suspensions introduced by this Regulation is subject to the origin rules set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 82/2001 of 5 December 2000 concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation in trade between the customs territory of the Community and Ceuta and Melilla (3),
The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the Annex hereto originating in Ceuta and Melilla shall be totally suspended.
Proof of the products’ originating status shall be adduced in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 82/2001.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
REGULATION (EEC) No 898/75 OF THE COUNCIL  of 18 March 1975  concluding the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof;
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission;
Whereas, since Norway did not accede to the European Communities, the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic should be concluded,
The Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Portuguese Republic is hereby concluded on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Protocol is annexed hereto.
The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Protocol referred to in Article 1 and to confer on him the necessary powers to bind the Community (1).
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 May 1975.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1824/1999
of 20 August 1999
amending Regulation (EC) No 1623/1999 fixing quantities for imports of bananas into the Community for the fourth quarter of 1999 under the tariff quotas or as part of the quantity of traditional ACP bananas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
(1) Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/1999(3) fixes for the fourth quarter of 1999 the quantities of bananas available for each of the origins listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 of 28 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 regarding imports of bananas into the Community(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 756/1999(5); whereas as a result of material errors in the information transmitted to the Commission for determination of the remaining quantities, the quantities for several origins should be corrected; whereas, therefore, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1623/1999 should be amended;
(2) Whereas this Regulation should enter into force immediately so that operators are aware of the amended quantities before the period for lodging import licence applications for the fourth quarter begins;
(3) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1623/1999 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3635/86
of 28 November 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85 on the buying in and storage of olive oil by intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1454/86 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85 (3) specifies the olive oils which may be offered for intervention; whereas experience has shown that one cannot ensure that producers will be those benefiting directly from the buying in of olive-residue oils; whereas the buying in of olive-residue oil is therefore inconsistent with the objectives pursued in Article 12 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, such as the stability of the market and the safeguarding of producers' incomes; whereas, therefore, intervention should be restricted temporarily to virgin olive oil;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1459/86 (4) which, in particular, fixes for 1986/87, the intervention prices for olive oil in Spain and Portugal, results in an intervention price in Spain different from the Community price; whereas, in these circumstances, the application in Spain of the price reduction for olive-residue oil, as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85, would create market disturbance; whereas provision should therefore be made for a special price reduction, as a transitional measure for that Member State;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman;
Regulation (EEC) No 3472/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph is added to Article 1:
'However, for olive-residue oil, buying in is hereby suspended until 31 October 1987'.
2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, Article 1 (2) shall apply with effect from 1 November 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2193/98 of 9 October 1998 concerning the stopping of fishing for sandeel by vessels flying the flag of Denmark
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2635/97 (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 47/98 of 19 December 1997 allocating, for 1998, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (3), provides for sandeel quotas for 1998;
Wheras, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of sandeel in the waters of ICES division IV (Norwegian waters South of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark have reached the quota allocated for 1998; whereas Denmark has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 18 September 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of sandeel in the waters of ICES division IV (Norwegian waters South of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Denmark for 1998.
Fishing for sandeel in the waters of ICES division IV (Norwegian waters South of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 18 September 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available for the reference exchange referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 June 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

All export-licence applications for sugar lodged after 4 October 2013 should accordingly be rejected and the lodging of export-licence applications should be suspended,
1.   Export licences for out-of-quota sugar for which applications were lodged from 1 to 4 October 2013 shall be issued for the quantities applied for, multiplied by an acceptance percentage of 42,169456 %.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The standardised requirements of Regulation No 107 on uniform provisions concerning the approval of category M2 or M3 vehicles with regard to their general construction are intended to remove technical barriers to the trade in motor vehicles between the Contracting Parties and to ensure a high level of safety and protection in the operation of vehicles.

amending Decision 2008/155/EC as regards its period of applicability and certain embryo collection and production teams in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States
(notified under document C(2009) 7730)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/759/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2008/155/EC of 14 February 2008 establishing a list of embryo collection and production teams in third countries approved for imports of bovine embryos into the Community (2) provides that Member States are to authorise imports of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species from third countries only if they have been collected, processed and stored by embryo collection and production teams listed in the Annex to that Decision.
(2) Article 8 of Directive 89/556/EEC has been amended by Article 6(2) of Council Directive 2008/73/EC of 15 July 2008 simplifying procedures of listing and publishing information in the veterinary and zootechnical fields and amending Directives 64/432/EEC, 77/504/EEC, 88/407/EEC, 88/661/EEC, 89/361/EEC, 89/556/EEC, 90/426/EEC, 90/427/EEC, 90/428/EEC, 90/429/EEC, 90/539/EEC, 91/68/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 92/35/EEC, 92/65/EEC, 92/66/EEC, 92/119/EEC, 94/28/EC, 2000/75/EC, Decision 2000/258/EC and Directives 2001/89/EC, 2002/60/EC and 2005/94/EC (3). Following that amendment, which applies from 1 January 2010, the list of embryo collection and production teams of animals of the bovine species is no longer to be established by a Commission Decision. Decision 2008/155/EC should therefore apply only until 31 December 2009.
(3) Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States have requested that amendments be made to the entries for those countries on that list as regards certain embryo collection and production teams. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States have provided guarantees regarding compliance with the appropriate rules set out in Directive 89/556/EEC and the embryo collection and production teams concerned have been officially approved for exports to the Community by the veterinary services of those third countries.
(4) Decision 2008/155/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2008/155/EC is amended as follows:
1. The following Article is inserted:
2. The Annex is replaced in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
