REGULATION (EU) No 1228/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 16 November 2011
repealing Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 of the Council making special provisions for imports into the Community of certain goods coming under Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 and originating in Turkey
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) Improving the transparency of Union law is an essential element of the better lawmaking strategy that the institutions of the Union are implementing. In that context it is appropriate to remove from the legislation in force those acts which no longer have real effect.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 of the Council (2) was adopted in order to determine the reduced fixed component of the import duties for processed agricultural products originating in Turkey and imported in the framework of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Turkey, signed on 23 November 1970.
(3) Decision No 1/95 of the EC-Turkey Association Council of 22 December 1995 on implementing the final phase of the Customs Union (3) lays down the rules for determining the customs duties for processed agricultural products originating in Turkey and imported into the European Union. Therefore Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 has become obsolete.
(4) For reasons of legal certainty and clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 should therefore be repealed,
1.   Regulation (EEC) No 429/73 is repealed.
2.   The repeal of the act referred to in paragraph 1 shall be without prejudice to:
(a) the maintenance in force of Union acts adopted on the basis of the act referred to in paragraph 1; and
(b) the continuing validity of amendments made by the act referred to in paragraph 1 to other Union acts that are not repealed by this Regulation.
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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1431/2004 (2) opens an invitation to tender setting the indicative refund rates and indicative quantities for system A3 export licences, which may be issued, other than those tendered for as part of food aid.
(2) In the light of the tenders submitted, the maximum refund rates and the percentages of quantities to be awarded for tenders quoting those maximum rates should be set.
(3) In the case of table grapes, the maximum rate necessary to award licences for the indicative quantity up to the quantities tendered for is more than one-and-a-half times the indicative refund rate. The rate must therefore be set in accordance with Article 4(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables (3).
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
In the case of table grapes, the maximum refund rates and the percentages for reducing the quantities awarded under the invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 1431/2004 shall be fixed in the Annex.

amending Regulation (EC) No 996/97 on the opening and administration of an import tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 996/97 (2) provides for the opening and administration, on a multi-annual basis, of an import tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91.
(2) The first paragraph of Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (3) provides that import licences should not be valid after the last day of the import tariff quota period.
(3) In order to align the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 996/97 to those in Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, Regulation (EC) No 996/97 was amended by Regulation (EC) No 568/2007, in particular by deleting the provision concerning the period of validity of import licences.
(4) Since Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (4) provides that import licences shall be valid 90 days from their date of issue, it is necessary to clarify in Regulation (EC) No 996/97 that licences should be valid until the end of the import tariff quota period.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 996/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to ensure that the import licences issued for the import tariff quota period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 are valid until the end of that import tariff quota period, it should be provided that this amendment applies as from the quota period starting on 1 July 2007.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 996/97, the following paragraph 3 is added:
‘3.   By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, import licences shall be valid until the end of the import tariff quota period.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to import licences issued as from the quota period starting on 1 July 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For those two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 836/2014
of 31 July 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 42 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2) allows exceptionally, until 31 December 2014, under certain conditions and when organically reared pullets are not available, for non-organically reared pullets for egg production of not more than 18 weeks to be brought into an organic livestock unit.
(2) The development of harmonised organic production rules for young poultry at Union level is complex, as views on technical requirements vary widely. In order to allow more time to establish detailed rules for the production of organic pullets, the exceptional provision for using non-organic pullets should be extended for three years.
(3) Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 allows exceptionally, for calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014, for a maximum of 5 % of non-organic protein feed to be used for porcine and poultry species.
(4) Organic protein supply has not been available in sufficient quality and quantity on the Union market to meet the nutritional requirements of pigs and poultry raised on organic farms. The production of organic protein crops is still lagging behind demand. It is therefore appropriate to extend the exceptional possibility of using a limited proportion of non-organic protein feed for a limited time period.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory committee on organic production,
Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008
Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is amended as follows:

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Whereas the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86 (3) must be sufficiently flexible to allow them to be adjusted to developments in the common organization of the market in wine; whereas the technical difficulties encountered by some Member States to establish a vineyard register make it necessary to extend the time limits laid down in Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 (2) makes no specific provision to take account of a change in the intervention price at the end of the marketing year.
(2) From the 2004/05 marketing year the intervention price for rice will fall from EUR 298,35/t to EUR 150/t, exclusive of any monthly increase. To prevent any distortion of competition, the fall in the intervention price must be taken into account when determining the amount of the subsidy applicable to exports of rice covered by subsidy documents issued during the previous marketing year but still valid at the beginning of the 2004/05 marketing year. To that end, Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 should provide for that to be taken into account.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89 should be amended accordingly.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1878/2003 (3) opened an invitation to tender for the subsidy on consignments of husked long-grain B rice to Réunion.

3.   The adjustment provided for in paragraph 2 shall take account of the conversion rates specified in Article 1 of Regulation No 467/67/EEC. If the amount of the subsidy resulting from this adjustment is below zero, that amount shall be raised to zero.’
In Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1878/2003 the date ‘17 June’ is replaced by ‘29 July’.
