Whereas Article 5a of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 makes provision for the Community being responsible for all or part of the interest to take account of any difficulties which some Member States might encounter because of the introduction of the new system;
Whereas in the light of the current situation in the Community it appears advisable to limit the Community budget's responsibility for interest charges to four Member States;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
1. Responsibility for the interest charges incurred by Member States because of the introduction of the system provided for in the last subparagraph of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 shall be limited to 6,8 % per year on the capital provided by Greece, Spain, Ireland and Portugal.

1. For determining the total amount of interest for which the Community is to be responsible in respect of a given financial year, the following formula shall be used:
M Ă 1,5417 Ă i
12
1.2 // M   // = total expenditure for the financial year  // 1,5417   // = average period for which capital is tied up  // i   // = annual rate of interest (0,068).
2. The interest may be calculated monthly in the course of a financial year with the aid of the coefficient 0,008736 but the total amount eligible in respect of a financial year shall be determined by the formula given in paragraph 1.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3723/85 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of herring in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, and VII b, c by vessels flying the flag of Ireland or registered in Ireland have reached the quotas allocated for 1986; whereas Ireland has prohibited fishing for these stocks as from 11 November 1986; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

amending Regulation (EC) No 1485/96 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 92/109/EEC, as regards customer declarations of specific use relating to certain substances used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

(2) In view of the difficulties caused by the use, by operators, of non-harmonised models and the use of all the official languages of the Community, it is necessary to draw up a uniform model for all operators to facilitate monitoring of the declarations by the Member State authorities.
(3) Although most competent authorities issue approvals of limited duration, this limit is not indicated in the model set out in the Annex to the Regulation, with the result that an undertaking, acting in good faith, could supply category 1 or category 2 substances to an undertaking for which authorisation has expired. It is therefore necessary to indicate any expiry date on the model declarations.
(4) The provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up under Article 10 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3677/90 of 13 December 1990 laying down measures to be taken to discourage the diversion of certain substances to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances(4), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3769/92 of 21 December 1992(5) and as referred to in Directive 92/109/EEC,
Regulation (EC) No 1485/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The second paragraph of Article 1 is replaced by the following text:
"2. The declaration shall conform to the model set out in point 1 of the Annex to this Regulation. In the case of legal persons, the declaration shall be made on headed notepaper."
2. The second paragraph of Article 2 is replaced by the following text:
"2. The declaration shall conform to the model set out in point 2 of the Annex to this Regulation. In the case of legal persons, the declaration shall be made on headed notepaper."
3. The Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that 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.
