Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 602/2001(4).
(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, excluding malt, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3588/91  of 3 December 1991  extending to 1992 the application of Regulation (EEC) No 3834/90 reducing for 1991 the levies on certain agricultural products originating in developing countries
THE COUNCIL OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 89 (2) and 234 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas, in accordance with its offer made within the context of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Community opened generalized tariff preferences commencing in 1971, notably in respect of certain agricultural products  falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of the Common Customs Tariff originating in developing countries; whereas the initial ten-year period of application of this system of preferences ended on 31 December 1980;
Whereas, however, the positive role played by this system in improving access for the developing countries to the markets of the preference-giving countries was recognized at the ninth session of the UNCTAD Special Committee on Preferences; whereas it  was there agreed that the objectives of the system of generalized preferences would not be fully achieved by the end of 1980, and that consequently it should be prolonged beyond the initial period, an overall review of the system having started in 1990;
Whereas the review of the system has continued into 1991 and the progress of the work makes it unlikely that a scheme based on new guidelines would be established by 1 January 1992; whereas, however, this review is envisaged during 1992;
Whereas pending the results of such review the 1991 generalized preferences scheme should be extended by way of derogation on a provisional basis into 1992;
Whereas the scheme for 1991 involved a preference consisting of a reduction of the import levy within the limits of a fixed quota,
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3834/90 of 20 December 1990 reducing for 1991 the levies on certain agricultural products originating in developing countries (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis from 1 January 1992 until 31 December 1992.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the request submitted by France,
Whereas:
(1) In the Community, in particular in France, the production of certain vine propagating materials satisfying the requirements of Directive 68/193/EEC has been insufficient in 1998 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs.
(2) It is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with material satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive.

(4) Other Member States likely to supply France with such material should furthermore be authorised to permit its marketing to this end.
(5) In France the propagating material will be imported from Switzerland in the form of dormand buds to be used for grafting. According to the request, the rooted grafts produced in the Community from such propagating material are then intended for re-export to Switzerland.
(6) This authorisation may only be used in accordance with the plant health conditions and requirements laid down by Council Directive 2000/29/EC(3), and in any implementing measures made thereof.
(7) 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,
France is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 15 March 2001, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 195000 dormant buds for grafting harvested in Switzerland which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagating material, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words "less stringent requirements".
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territories of the material authorised to be marketed under this Decision.
The authorisations under Articles 1 and 2 shall be without prejudice to Council Directive 2000/29/EC and any implementing measures thereof.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities of propagating material permitted to be marketed in their territories under this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
