THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/53/EEC of 24 June 1993 introducing minimum Community measures for the control of certain fish diseases(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/288/EC(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6(a), first indent, of Directive 93/53/EEC lays down that, in order to control an outbreak of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA), all fish in an infected farm shall be withdrawn in accordance with a scheme established by the official service and approved by the Commission.
(2) Experience gained has shown that under certain conditions it is possible to extend the withdrawal over a period of time without impairing the efforts to eradicate the disease.
(3) A withdrawal scheme to be applied in case of the detection of ISA in England, Scotland and Wales has been approved by Commission Decision 2001/494/EC(3).
(4) The United Kingdom has submitted a withdrawal scheme to be applied in case of the detection of ISA in Northern Ireland.
(5) Ireland has submitted a withdrawal scheme to be applied in case of the detection of ISA in Ireland.
(6) The Commission and the Member States have examined the schemes submitted by the United Kingdom and Ireland in the light of the current state of scientific and technical evidence.
(7) The disease control measures described in the withdrawal scheme for Northern Ireland and Ireland are fully consistent with the scheme already approved for England, Scotland and Wales.
(8) The withdrawal of fish shall be carried out with the aim to eradicate the disease from infected farms and to prevent further spread of the disease to other farms as well as to the wild population susceptible to this infection.
(9) The withdrawal of fish must be based on a case by case analysis of the risks for further spread of the disease, including the seriousness of the outbreak and other circumstances influencing the risks, and must take into account current practical experience and scientific evidence.
(10) The examination carried out shows that the schemes submitted fulfil the requirements for such a scheme and therefore they should be approved.
(11) For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to approve the schemes submitted by the United Kingdom and Ireland by means of a single decision. Therefore Decision 2001/494/EC should be repealed.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The schemes submitted by the United Kingdom and Ireland for the withdrawal of all fish in farms situated in their territory and infected with infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) are approved.
Decision 2001/494/EC is repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and  the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy  (1), and in  particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides that where a foreseeable change in  the agricultural conversion rate would result in an appreciable fall for a currency, that change  shall be suspended for the currency in question for a certain period during which the monetary  trend must be confirmed before the change can take place;
Whereas the current monetary trend has resulted in a situation in which the aforementioned  conditions have been fulfilled, in particular for the Belgian and Luxembourg franc; whereas a  similar problem may arise shortly for other Community currencies; whereas, however, the trend does  not seem to be certain; whereas, accordingly, it would appear appropriate, exceptionally and in  view of the potential budgetary impact, in the case of the currencies concerned, to increase the  number of reference periods constituting the period of suspension,

Whereas it is essential for the Commission to have the necessary information at its disposal before the adoption by the Member States of laws, regulations and administrative provisions on safety, hygiene and health at work; whereas, in certain cases, all the Member States must also be informed of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions contemplated by any one Member State;
Whereas Council Directive 83/189/EEC (1) provided for a system of information in the field of technical standards and regulations, including those relating to safety, hygiene and health at work;
Whereas it would appear necessary to supplement this procedure by the improvement of information on other laws, regulations and administrative provisions provided for under this Decision;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3337/92  of 16 November 1992  amending Regulation (EEC) No 1981/82 drawing up the list of Community regions, in which production aid for hops is granted only to recognized producer groups
THE COUNCIL OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1) and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 12 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 provides for the granting of production aid to producers' groups in regions of the Community where the said groups are capable of ensuring that their members receive a fair income and of achieving  rational management of supply; whereas those regions are listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1981/82 (2);
Whereas scrutiny of the data supplied by Germany shows that the conditions laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 are fulfilled by new regions; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1981/82 should therefore be amended as from the 1991 harvest,
The regions 'Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt and Thueringen' are hereby added to the list set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1981/82.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2604/98 of 3 December 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1244/82 and (EEC) No 714/89
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 4i(5) thereof,
Whereas Article 49(4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1244/82 and (EEC) No 714/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2207/98 (4), sets the level of the calf processing premium; whereas in accordance with the third indent of Article 4i(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the premium is to be set at a single level or, where necessary, at differential levels such as to enable the withdrawal from the market of a sufficient number of calves in line with market requirements; whereas in the United Kingdom, given the special position of the market there compared with the rest of the Community, the number of young calves coming onto the market is significantly higher than domestic demand; whereas even before the BSE crisis the United Kingdom market situation meant that calves were commanding lower prices than in the rest of the Community; whereas the processing premium in the United Kingdom should therefore be set at a level lower than for the rest of the Community;
Whereas this Regulation should be introduced immediately to increase the effectiveness of the measure;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
In Article 49(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92, the following subparagraph is added:
'However, the level in the United Kingdom shall be ECU 80.`

It shall apply to animals presented for processing from the first Monday after the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
