amending Regulation (EC) No 1367/2002 introducing preventive distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 in Portugal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2585/2001(2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the preventive distillation introduced in Portugal, producers are required to deliver their wine for distillation and distillers are required to deliver the alcohol obtained to the intervention agency before a specified date.
(2) However, the public storage facilities in Portugal are full and the public authorities have been unable to accept deliveries of alcohol from the distillers, with the result that the storage facilities of certain distillers are now also full. This prevents them from accepting delivery of new wine for distillation before the date laid down in the Regulation.
(3) To rectify this situation, the date by which wine must be delivered for distillation and the date by which alcohol must be delivered to public storage should be postponed for one month.
(4) Since the deadline for delivery for distillation fell on 30 November 2002, this Regulation should apply from 1 December 2002.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2002, is hereby replaced by the following:
"3. The wine must be delivered to the distilleries by 31 December 2002 at the latest. The alcohol obtained must be delivered to the intervention agency by 28 February 2003 at the latest."

of 11 June 2013
laying down transitional measures for certain import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for trade in agricultural products between the Union as constituted on 30 June 2013 and Croatia
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Croatia, and in particular Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Before 1 July 2013, trade in certain agricultural products between the Union and Croatia is subject to the presentation of an import or export licence. From 1 July 2013, those licences can no longer be used for such trade.
(2) Certain licences and advance-fixing certificates which will be still valid after 30 June 2013 will not have been used at all or will have been used only partially. Commitments entered into in connection with those licences and certificates must be fulfilled failing which the security lodged would be forfeited. Given that such commitments can no longer be fulfilled after the accession of Croatia, it appears necessary to lay down, with effect from the date of that accession, a transitional measure providing for the release of the securities lodged.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
At the request of the interested parties, the securities lodged for the issuing of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates, shall be released, under the following conditions:
(a) the exporting country or the receiving country indicated on the licences or advance-fixing certificates is Croatia. Where the indication exporting country or receiving country is not obligatory on the licence or advance-fixing certificate, the operator shall prove to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the exporting country or the receiving country is Croatia;
(b) the validity of the licences or advance-fixing certificates does not expire before 1 July 2013;
(c) the licences or advance-fixing certificates will have been used only partially or not at all by 1 July 2013.
This Regulation shall enter into force subject to and on the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), as last amended by Directive 89/366/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas it has been shown that the conditions on which the Community findings were based at the outset are still fulfilled as regards the standards and procedures applicable to the certification of seed potatoes in Austria and Switzerland;

In Article 2 of Decision 81/956/EEC '30 June 1990' is hereby replaced by '30 June 1995'.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
