Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 23(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2003/322/EC of 12 May 2003 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the feeding of certain necrophagous birds with certain category 1 materials (2) lays down conditions for the authorisation of the feeding of certain endangered or protected species of necrophagous birds by certain Member States.
(2) In accordance with that Decision and in order to contain the risk of spread of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalitis (TSE), carcasses of bovine, ovine and caprine animals intended to be used for feeding have to be tested for TSE with a negative result prior to their use.
(3) In order to improve the availability of feed to endangered or protected species, it is appropriate to align the testing requirements for carcasses used for feeding with specifications laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (3), while limiting the proportion of ovine and caprine carcasses to be sampled.
(4) The prohibition on using carcasses tested for TSE with a positive result for feed should remain.
(5) Decision 2003/322/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In the Annex to Decision 2003/322/EC, Part B (3)(b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) ensure that carcasses of bovine animals and at least 4 % of carcasses of ovine and caprine animals intended to be used for feeding are tested prior to that use with a negative result, in the TSE monitoring programme carried out in accordance with Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001; and’

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 laying down implementing rules in respect of the system of consumption aid for olive oil
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 aparticular Article 11 (8) thereof,
Whereas Article 17 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3818/85 (4) provides that the release into free circulation in the Community of olive oil falling within subheading 15.07 A of the Common Customs Tariff is to be subject to production of proof of the lodging of a security to prevent oils originating in third countries from receiving consumption aid; whereas Article 18 of the said Regulation lays down, as one of the conditions for the release of the said security; that the oil should be exported either in bulk or in immediate containers with a net content of more than five litres;
Whereas, under Article 20 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, a refund may be granted on olive oils exported to third countries; whereas the amount of the refund may be varied to take account of whether consumption aid has been granted;
Whereas, under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85, consumption aid cannot be granted in respect of olive oil in bulk or put up in immediate containers of a net content exceeding five litres; whereas, therefore, to prevent unjustified enrichment, provision should be made so that, where olive oil is exported in the abovementioned containers, the certificate for the release of the security concerned, the amount of which is equal to that of the consumption aid, cannot be issued if the transaction in question qualifies for the refund;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The following sentence is added to the end of the first subparagraph of Article 18 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85:
'However, in the case referred to in paragraph 1 (b), this certificate shall not be issued if the export in question qualifies for an export refund'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2) approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3), a certain amount of Community milk products exported to the Dominican Republic can benefit from reduced customs duties.

(5) The uptake of export refunds for certain products proves to be insignificant. For such products, export refunds should no longer be fixed.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in Article 1(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 (4).
