Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 3(3) and 3a(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of avian influenza occurred in the United Kingdom in 2006. The emergence of that disease presented a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population.
(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Commission Decision 2007/272/EC of 25 April 2007 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures taken to combat avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 (2) granted a financial contribution at the rate of 50 % of the expenditure eligible for Community funding for the implementation of the measures taken to combat this outbreak.
(4) Pursuant to that Decision, the Community financial contribution is to be paid on the basis of the request submitted by the United Kingdom on 18 May 2007 and supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (3).
(5) In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 should now be fixed.
(6) The results of the inspections carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial contributions mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible for a Community financial contribution.
(7) The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to the United Kingdom in a letter dated 5 October 2007.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1315/96 of 8 July 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 laying down special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2931/95 (2), and in particular Article 17 (14) thereof,
Whereas Article 2a of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 of 27 June 1995 laying down special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1112/96 (4), fixes the minimum value of cheeses eligible for the export refund system; whereas that value, as introduced into Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 823/96 (5), is higher than that previously in force pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 823/96, and applicable to all cheeses; whereas that measure was taken in order to restrict applications for export licences in order to comply with the quantities of cheese exported with refund resulting from the agreements concluded under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations; whereas, since then, an analysis of various external markets shows that, given the differences in price of Feta cheeses made from cow's milk, that objective could be better achieved for those cheeses by directly controlling the volume of licences issued, making it possible to ensure that the volume of licences issued during the period 1 July to 30 June remains considerably smaller than the volume of licences issued during the same period of the previous year; whereas, as a result, that minimum value should not be applied to Feta cheeses made from cow's milk;
Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 lays down the amount of the securities for export licences for certain milk products; whereas, in order to ensure sound administration of the export refund system, in particular for skimmed milk powder, reduce the risk of speculative applications and disturbance of the system, and to make administration of the licence issuing system more precise, it is necessary to increase the amount of the security for that product;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following paragraph is added to Article 2a:
'However, the first paragraph shall not apply to cheese falling within CN code 0406 90 33 919.`
2. Article 7 (1) (b) is replaced by the following:
'(b) 15 % of the refund for products falling within CN code 0402 10;`.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 Article 23 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 658/82 (3), lays down that in the case of the private storage of butter, the date of entry into store must be marked on the packages; whereas experience has shown that this is difficult to apply in practice; whereas the same guarantee regarding the date of entry into store may be obtained by requiring that registers be kept;
Whereas under Article 28 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 the period of storage begins on 1 April; whereas the benefit of this amendment should be extended to all producers who have concluded storage contracts on or after the date;
