Whereas there should be a guarantee of equal and continuing access by all interested traders within the Community to the said quota and of uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota, to all imports of the product in question, in all the Member States, up to the limit of the volume of the quota; whereas it seems appropriate, to this end, to set up a system of use of the Community tariff quota, based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the nature of the product, where it is imported from and its origin;
Whereas the detailed rules to implement these provisions should be drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3), as last amended by the Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (4),
1. A Community tariff quota for frozen buffalo meat falling within subheading 02.01 A II b) 4 bb) 33 of the Common Customs Tariff shall be opened for 1987.

(a) provisions to guarantee the nature of product, where it is coming from and its origin;
(b) provisions concerning recognition of the document to enable verification of the guarantee referred to in (a).
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2) In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other pig holdings and to feral pigs. As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.
(3) Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.
(4) Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.
(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.
(6) Accordingly, pending the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.
(7) This Decision is to be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Poland shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the territories listed in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply until 14 March 2014.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 48 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1943/2003 of 3 November 2003 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards aid to producer groups granted preliminary recognition (2) sets the calculation parameters and the ceilings for the aid provided for in Article 14(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96. These parameters and ceilings are not prices or amounts which are either granted or collected. Articles 2 and 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (3) do not, therefore, apply to them.
(2) These parameters and ceilings apply to each of the aid instalments referred to in point (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1943/2003. To express them in the national currencies of the non-participating Member States within the meaning of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, the exchange rates in force on the first day of the period for which the aid is granted should be used.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1943/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The following paragraph 3 is hereby added to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1943/2003:
‘3.   The exchange rate applicable to the amounts in euro referred to in paragraph 2 shall be the rate most recently published by the European Central Bank prior to the first day of the period for which the aid in question is granted.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.

Whereas, in view of the peculiar situation of the market in lemons during the current marketing year, it has not been possible to conclude such contracts within the time limit laid down in the Regulation for lemons to be delivered to the industry during the period 1 December 1987 to 31 May 1988;
Whereas, to ensure proper management of the market and normal deliveries of the product to the processing industry, the period allowed for such contracts to be concluded during the current marketing year should be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
By way of derogation from Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, the time limit for concluding contracts for lemons which must be delivered to the industry during the period 1 December 1987 to 31 May 1988 is hereby fixed at 31 December 1987.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1516/71 (1) of 12 July 1971 introducing a system of subsidies for cotton seeds, and in particular Article 1 (5) thereof;

Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 provides that the time when a transaction is carried out is to be considered to be the date on which occurs the event, as defined by Community rules, or, in the absence of and pending adoption of such rules, by the rules of the Member State concerned, in which the amount involved in the transaction becomes due and payable;
Whereas the event in which the subsidy for cotton seeds becomes due and payable occurs at the time when the cotton is produced ; whereas, however, it is very difficult to establish the exact date of production for a given lot;
Whereas experience has shown that production of cotton is almost entirely completed during the month of October of each year at the latest ; whereas in order to ensure uniform operation of the system of subsidies, the conversion rate to be used to calculate the amounts of the subsidy in the relevant national currency should be the rate applicable at the end of that month;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The event within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 in which the subsidy for cotton seeds becomes due and payable shall be considered to have occurred on 1 November following the beginning of each marketing year.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1975.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2754/78  of 23 November 1978  on intervention in the olive oil sector
THE COUNCIL 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 1562/78 (2), and in particular Article 12 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in accordance with commercial practice, olive oil is generally marketed during the first 11 months of the marketing year ; whereas, to avoid speculative transactions, it should be provided that for the last month of the marketing year the intervention agencies are to buy in oil at the price applying at the beginning of that marketing year;
Whereas olive oil held by the intervention agencies must be put up for sale without any discrimination between Community purchasers and on the most favourable economic terms ; whereas the sale by tender appears to be the most appropriate system for this purpose;
Whereas, however, in certain special situations it may be advisable to use procedures other than tendering;
Whereas, with a view to organizing the intervention system on a rational basis, intervention centres should be established by reference both to the volume of production of the various olive oil producing areas and also to the storage facilities available in places which may be designated as intervention centres;
Whereas Council Regulation No 164/66/EEC of 27 October 1966 determining the main intervention centres for olive oil and laying down the criteria to be applied when other intervention centres are being determined (3) should be repealed,
The intervention agencies appointed by the producer Member States shall buy in olive oil:    - during the months of August and September, at the intervention price applying during July,
- during the month of October, at the intervention price applying during the first month of the current marketing year.
1. Olive oil held by the intervention agencies shall be put up for sale by tender.
However, where special conditions so warrant, another selling procedure may be used.
2. The conditions of sale by tender or of any other selling procedure must ensure equal access and treatment to all parties, whatever their place of establishment in the Community.
The intervention centres must be situated in an area with an average annual olive oil production of not less than 1 000 tonnes. They may be set up only in places where adequate facilities exist for storing the oil offered for intervention.
Regulation No 164/66/EEC is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1979.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
