Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 442/84 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 698/86 (4), provides for the granting of aid for butter from private storage for use in the manufacture of the products referred to in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (5);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 of 13 July 1981 on the granting for aid for butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3812/85 (7), has the same objective as Regulation (EEC) No 442/84; whereas, in view of the better balance on the Community market for butter as a result of recent changes to both the supplementary levy arrangements and the intervention arrangements, the latter Regulation should be repealed;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman,

COMMISSION DECISION of 13 May 1998 derogating, for the 1997/98 marketing year, from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 as regards aid applications and applications for supervised storage of unginned cotton originating in certain Greek prefectures (Only the Greek text is authentic) (98/341/EC)

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 of 3 May 1989 laying down rules implementing the system of aid for cotton (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1740/97 (5), lays down 31 March as the time limit for placing unginned cotton in supervised storage but allows the possibility for the Member State to set a later time limit under certain conditions; whereas for the 1997/98 marketing year Greece used that provision by setting the time limit for supervised storage at 31 January 1998; whereas, as a result of exceptional weather conditions, it proved impossible to harvest the unginned cotton until the beginning of March 1998 in certain Greek prefectures; whereas, therefore, the start of supervised storage and the lodging of the corresponding aid applications should be accepted without penalty for the unginned cotton originating in those prefectures up to a date allowing for the other time limits in the rules to be complied with;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
1. By derogation from the first indent of Article 5(3), from Article 7(1) and from the first and second subparagraphs of Article 9(2), the following conditions shall apply for the 1997/98 marketing year to unginned cotton harvested in the Greek prefectures indicated in paragraph 2:

(c) applications for supervised storage lodged by 15 April at the latest may be accepted.
2. The Greek prefectures referred to in paragraph 1 are:
Kavala, Xanthi, Rodopi and Evros.

Whereas the transmission shafts, universal joints and spiders therefor mentioned above have characteristics enabling them to withstand the stresses resulting from the high speed of rotation which is a feature of motor vehicles;
Whereas the aforementioned articles do not constitute parts of engines and motors for the purposes of Note 2 (e) to Section XVII and whereas, consequently, heading No 84.63 cannot be considered for their tariff classification;
Whereas Note 1 (k) to Section XVI excludes from that Section goods falling within Section XVII ; the aforementioned transmission shafts, universal joints and spiders therefor constitute parts of the motor vehicles falling within heading No 87.01, 87.02 or 87.03, referred to in heading No 87.06 ; the last-mentioned heading must therefore be taken for the classification of the aforementioned articles by application of General Rule 1 for the interpretation of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff;

For the purposes of the export refund system, fishery products of Community origin frozen and/or processed on board a vessel registered or recorded in a third country and flying the flag of a third country shall be considered to be products which are not of Community origin.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 4 December 1990 amending Directive 87/167/EEC on aid to shipbuilding (90/652/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 92 (3) (d) and Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas from the date of German unification onwards Directive 87/167/EEC(4) will apply in the territory of the united Germany;
Whereas the shipbuilding industry in the former German Democratic Republic will require an urgent restructuring process; whereas the immediate application of the common maximum ceiling for production aid may not facilitate this process, and particular  arrangements should be allowed to enable the shipbuilding industry of the former German Democratic Republic gradually to complete restructuring and comply with the aid regime applicable to the Community as a whole,
Directive 87/167/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1.The heading of Chapter IV shall be replaced by the following:
'SPAIN, PORTUGAL, AND THE TERRITORY OF THE FORMER GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC'
2.The following terms shall be added to Article 9 (1):
'. . . nor in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic.'
3.The following paragraph shall be added to Article 9:
'4.  Operating aid for shipbuilding and ship conversion in the former German Democratic Republic may be considered compatible with the common market provided that:
the shipbuilding industry has undertaken a systematic and specific restructuring programme, including capacity reductions, which can be considered capable of allowing it to operate competitively;
the aid is being progressively reduced.'    Article 2  This Directive shall apply from 3 October 1990, the date of German unification.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1648/2001
of 13 August 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector
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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001(2), and in particular Article 38(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 of 3 April 2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector(3) lays down in its Article 1 the eligibility criteria to be met for carcasses in order to be accepted under the purchase scheme. The last indent of Article 1(2) provides in particular for the carcasses to be appropriately labelled. As labelling, however, serves no purpose where the meat is intended for destruction after take-over, derogation from this requirement should be provided in such circumstances.
(2) Article 3(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 provides for an amount of EUR 14 per 100 kg to be taken into account when fixing the maximum buying-in price. The experience from the application of the Regulation indicates that that amount is insufficient to cover the net slaughter costs as intended, in particular due to a low value of by-products. The amount should therefore be increased to EUR 18 per 100 kg.
(3) Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 lays down that the price to be paid to the successful tenderer shall be adjusted where carcasses taken over differ from the classification class O. The application of that provision has led to artificially high prices for meat from Category B animals offered under the scheme. An appropriate amendment should therefore be provided.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 1 the following paragraph 3 is added: "3. Member States may waive the requirement laid down in the last indent of paragraph 2 where the carcasses or half-carcasses concerned are destroyed after take-over."
2. The amount of "EUR 14" referred to in Article 3(1) and (2) shall be replaced by the amount of "EUR 18".
3. Article 5(3) is replaced by the following text: "3. With the exception of carcasses from animals of Category B, where carcasses of classification classes other than O are taken over, the price to be paid to the successful tenderer for the carcasses concerned shall be adjusted by applying the coefficients fixed in Annex IV."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to quantities awarded under the tender on 27 August 2001 and following tenders.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
