COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 736/2012
of 14 August 2012
fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2012/2013
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) According to the information provided by Ireland in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2011, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2011 was five years.
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 899/2011 of 7 September 2011 fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2011/12 (3) has exhausted its effects, as it concerns the coefficients applicable for the year 2011/2012. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Union has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2012/2013,
For the period 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) no 1206/90 of 7 May 1990 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2202/90 (2), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1707/85 of 21 June 1985 on the sale of unprocessed dried figs by storage agencies for the manufacture of alcohol (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas the aforementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1707/85 provides that unprocessed dried figs may be sold at a price fixed in advance to distillation industries;
Whereas the Greek storage agency is holding roughly 319 tonnes of unprocessed dried figs from the 1993 harvest; whereas the products should be offered to the distillation industries;
Whereas the selling price should be fixed in such a way that disturbance of the Community market in alcohol and spirituous beverages is avoided;
Whereas the amount of the processing security provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1707/85 should be fixed, taking into consideration the difference between the normal market price for dried figs and the selling price fixed by this  Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The Greek storage agency shall undertake the sale of unprocessed dried figs from the 1993 harvest to the distillation industries in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 626/85 and (EEC) No 1707/85 at a price fixed at ECU  3,33 per 100 kilograms net.

amending Decision 2010/638/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against the Republic of Guinea
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 25 October 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/638/CFSP (1).
(2) On the basis of a review of Decision 2010/638/CFSP, the restrictive measures should be extended until 27 October 2014.
(3) Decision 2010/638/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 8 of Decision 2010/638/CFSP, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2.   This Decision shall apply until 27 October 2014. It shall be kept under constant review. It may be renewed or amended, as appropriate, if the Council deems that its objectives have not been met.’.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 26 November 2007
amending Decision 2003/17/EC on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/780/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (2), and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/54/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of beet seed (3), and in particular Article 23(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/57/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (4), and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2003/17/EC (5) provides that for a limited period field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species are considered as equivalent to field inspections carried out in accordance with Community legislation and that seed of certain species produced in third countries is considered as equivalent to seed produced in accordance with Community legislation.
(2) It appears that those field inspections continue to afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States. Those field inspections should therefore continue to be considered as equivalent.
(3) As Decision 2003/17/EC will expire on 31 December 2007, the period for which equivalence is recognised under that Decision should be extended. It appears desirable to limit that period to five years.
(4) Decision 2003/17/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 6 of Decision 2003/17/EC, ‘31 December 2007’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2012’.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1925/2002
of 28 October 2002
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Article 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Lithuanian authorities have informed the Commission of the introduction of additional veterinary checks to ensure that the milk powder for export to the Community under quota No 09.4554 as provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2766/2000 of 14 December 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Lithuania(3) complies with the conditions laid down in Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products(4), as last amended by Directive 94/71/EC(5), and Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products(6). In view of the difficulties that this causes for importers holding licences issued during the first six months of 2002, the validity period was extended by three months to 30 September 2002 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1333/2002(7) derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2002(9). Given that these difficulties persist and, furthermore, that the veterinary checks carried out by the Lithuanian authorities led to the temporary suspension of certain operators from the possibility to export dairy products, the validity of the import licences should exceptionally be extended further up to 31 January 2003.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Notwithstanding Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, the term of validity of the import licences issued during the first six months of 2002 for imports of products covered by quota No 09.4554, listed in Annex I.B.9 to that Regulation, shall expire on 31 January 2003.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 March 2007 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 272/2007 (3).
(2) As the average of the import duties calculated differs by more than EUR 5 a tonne from that fixed, a corresponding adjustment must be made to the import duties fixed by Regulation (EC) No 272/2007.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 272/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EC) No 272/2007 are hereby replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
