Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (1), and in particular Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A system for classifying the performance of construction products with regard to their reaction to fire was adopted in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC (2).

(2) Those products have proved to have a stable and predictable performance concerning reaction to fire when they are used with gypsum plasterboards to form corners in walls as only an insignificant part of their surface risks being exposed to fire.
(3) Metal lath and beads for internal plastering covered by the harmonised standard EN 13658-1, metal lath and beads for external rendering covered by the harmonised standard EN 13658-2 and metal beads and feature profiles covered by the harmonised standard EN 14353, with an exposed surface containing organic material, should therefore be deemed to satisfy class E of performance for reaction to fire without the need for any testing,
Metal lath and beads for internal plastering covered by the harmonised standard EN 13658-1, metal lath and beads for external rendering covered by the harmonised standard EN 13658-2 and metal beads and feature profiles covered by the harmonised standard EN 14353 shall be deemed to satisfy the class E set out in Table 1 of the Annex to Decision 2000/147/EC, without testing, where they have an exposed surface containing organic material.

Whereas, in view of the situation of the market for peaches, lemons and oranges and in particular the scale of withdrawals recorded, an intervention threshold should be fixed for such products for the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985;
Whereas, for those products, that threshold may be expressed as a percentage of the average quantities produced and intended to be consumed fresh in the last five marketing years for which production figures are available;

1. The intervention thresholds for lemons and oranges shall be the following percentages of the average production intended to be consumed fresh in the last five marketing years for which data are available:

-18 000 tonnes in the case of peaches,

-20 000 tonnes in the case of oranges,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 61/1999(2) allocates, for 1999, catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Lithuanian waters;
(2) in accordance with the procedure provided for in the Agreement on fisheries relations between the European Community and the Republic of Lithuania(3), and in particular Articles 3 and 6 thereof, the Community and Lithuania have held further consultations concerning their mutual fishing rights for 1999 and the management of common living resources;
(3) in the course of these consultations, agreement was reached on a transfer of an additional quota of 5000 tonnes of sprat from Lithuania to the Community;
(4) to ensure efficient management of the catch possibilities available in Lithuanian waters, the additional quota should be allocated among the Member States in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92;
(5) Regulation (EC) No 61/1999 should be amended accordingly;
(6) in order to ensure the livelihood of Community fishermen it is important to open these fisheries as early as possible in 1999; given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments of the European Union annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 61/1999, the entry referring to sprat shall be replaced by that set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Haying 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 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector(2), the export licences for the products referred to therein are valid from the date of issue until the end of the third month following that date.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 of 29 June 2001 fixing the export refunds on syrups and other sugar products exported in the natural state(3) fixes the export refunds applicable to these products from 1 July 2001 and limits the validity of the export licences to 30 September 2001 so that there is no difference in treatment between operators using the licences by 30 September 2001 and those using them after that date.
(3) In order to allow the operators to conclude contracts after 30 September 2001 using an export licence issued in July 2001, the amount of the export refund should be established for licences issued in July 2001 but used after 30 September 2001. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001, which limits the term of validity of these export licences, should therefore be repealed.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the basic product is processed after 30 September 2001.
(5) In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the export licences issued before and after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation should apply to licences issued on or after the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 entered into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Regulation (EC) No 1310/2001 is amended as follows:

2. Article 2 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall apply to export licences issued on or after 1 July 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
