Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1897/2002(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1948/2002(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1044/2009
of 4 November 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2009/2010 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.
(2) Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences, are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2). However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 (3) has fixed the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar at 650 000 tonnes in respect of marketing year 2009/2010. However, according to the most recent forecasts issued at the beginning of the 2009/2010 sugar beet harvest it is certain that due to exceptionally favourable weather conditions a very important amount of out-of-quota beet sugar would be produced in the Community. The amount of out-of-quota sugar to be produced in 2009/2010 is initially estimated at around 3-4 million tonnes, which would lead to serious storage problems and provoking large quantity of sugar to be carried forward as quota sugar for marketing year 2010/2011. It is therefore necessary to increase the quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar exports to 1 350 000 t in respect of marketing year 2009/2010.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 274/2009, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
‘1.   For the 2009/2010 marketing year, running from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be 1 350 000 tonnes for exports without refund of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99.’
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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 614/2009 of 7 July 2009 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (2), and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (3) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.
(2) Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should be amended accordingly.
(4) Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.

Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/56/EC provides that, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive.
(2) However, as work to establish a Community equivalence for seed potatoes from all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Directive 2002/56/EC permitted Member States to extend until 31 March 2002 the validity of equivalence decisions which they had already taken for seed potatoes from certain third countries not covered by a Community equivalence.
(3) In the absence of Community rules on the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community, the authorisation granted to Member States by Directive 2002/56/EC to extend the period of validity of equivalence decisions should be extended.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
In the first subparagraph of Article 21(3) of Directive 2002/56/EC, "31 March 2002" is replaced by "31 March 2005".

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 311/2011
of 31 March 2011
replacing Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission shall adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the Community at that time.
(2) The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2010 (1 October 2009-30 September 2010). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the European Union is calculated at USD 9,96 million.
(3) Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased, the 19 products of Annex II which were added in 2010 to the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should be removed first from the list in Annex I to that Regulation. Eleven products of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should then be withdrawn from Annex I to that Regulation following the order of that list.
(4) The effect of a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports from the United States of the products in the amended Annex I represents, over 1 year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 9,96 million.
(5) To make sure that there are no delays in the customs clearance of goods removed from the scope of the 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on trade retaliation,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 is replaced by the text of the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Council Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 as regards catch limits for the fisheries on sandeel in EU waters of IIIa and EU waters of IIa and IV
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 of 14 January 2010 fixing for 2010 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Catch limits for sandeel in ICES IIa and IV are laid down in Annex IA of Regulation (EU) No 53/2010.
(2) Pursuant to point 6 of Annex IID to Regulation (EU) No 53/2010, the Commission is to revise the total allowable catches (TAC) and quotas for 2010 for sandeel in those zones based on advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF).
(3) The STECF indicates that the function laid down in point 6 of Annex IID to Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 would indicate a TAC of up to 400 000 tonnes.
(4) Sandeel is a North Sea stock which is shared with Norway but which is currently not jointly managed. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with consultations with Norway pursuant to the provisions of the agreed record of conclusions of fisheries consultations between the European Commission and Norway of 26 January 2010. In consequence, the European Union share of that part of the TAC that can be caught in EU waters of ICES zones IIa and IV should be fixed at 90 % of 400 000 tonnes.
(5) Following negotiations with Norway, the amount allocated to Norway from the EU’s share of the TAC should be increased from 20 000 tonnes to 27 500 tonnes in exchange for fishing opportunities on other species in Norwegian waters.
(6) The Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries recommends that the TAC should be increased by 4,23 % to cover EU waters of ICES zone IIIa.
(7) Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
