Commission Regulation (EC) No 2162/2003
of 11 December 2003
fixing the definitive aid on certain grain legumes for the marketing year 2003/04
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 of 30 July 1996 introducing a specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes(1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 divides the maximum guaranteed area between lentils and chickpeas on the one hand and vetches on the other hand, allowing the unused balance of one maximum guaranteed area to be reallocated to the other maximum guaranteed area before an overrun is determined.
(2) The maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 was not exceeded in 2003/04, whereas the maximum guaranteed area for vetches, increased by the unused balance of the maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas, was exceeded by 10,37 % in 2003/04. The aid provided for in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 should therefore be reduced proportionately for vetches for the marketing year in question.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The definitive aid for certain grain legumes for the marketing year 2003/04 shall be EUR 181,00 per hectare for lentils and chickpeas and EUR 163,99 per hectare for vetches.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL DECISION  of 19 December 1991  extending the period of application of Decision 82/530/EEC authorizing the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man authorities to apply a system of special import licences to sheepmeat and beef and veal   (91/657/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 1 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community rules concerning trade with non-member countries in agricultural products subject to a common organization of the market apply to the Isle of Man in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession and with  Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (1);
Whereas livestock production is a traditional activity in the Isle of Man and plays a central part in the island's agriculture;
Whereas, prior to the introduction of the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the Community, the Isle of Man, as part of its local market organization, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of sheepmeat into the  island in order to ensure that the need to supply the requirements of trade could be met whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheep production and, indirectly, in cattle production on the island and in its own agricultural support system;
Whereas, by Decision 82/530/EEC (2), the United Kingdom was authorized to permit the Isle of Man Government to apply a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and beef and veal originating in non-member countries and in Member States of the  Community, without prejudice to the measures concerning trade with non-member countries provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (3) and Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 (4) for a period of nine years ending on 31 December 1991;
Whereas the Commission proposed on 12 December 1991 to the Council to extend the authorization until the end of 1995; whereas the Council is therefore not yet in a position to decide upon the proposal; whereas, in the interim, in order to avoid a  disruption of trade, the present system should continue to apply for a limited period;
Whereas Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC should therefore be amended,
Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 2
The Decision shall apply until 31 March 1992.'
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2605/2001
of 28 December 2001
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 34,864/100 kg net.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
