COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1092/2005
of 12 July 2005
suspending the system of advances of aid to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector in respect of 2005
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 4, 5 and 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 (2), lay down rules applicable to the submission of applications for advances under the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93.
(2) Prices in the Community production regions are much higher than those in the corresponding period in previous years, and remain at a relatively high level. If this situation continues, compensatory aid for 2005 will be fixed, in due course, at a level far below the amounts fixed in respect of previous years. As a result, producers will be required to reimburse a large proportion of the amounts received in the form of advances. A substantial reduction in the unit value of the advances fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 703/2005 of 4 May 2005 fixing the compensatory aid for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 2004 and the unit value of the advances for 2005 (3) will not remedy the consequences of such a situation.
(3) In order to preserve the financial interests of the Community and to avoid the subsequent obligation on producers to repay advances, the application of rules on the submission of applications for advances and on the payment of such advances laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 should be suspended. The payment of advances for bananas marketed after 30 April 2005 and the submission of new applications should accordingly be suspended.
(4) This Regulation should therefore apply from 1 July 2005.
(5) The measures provided for in this regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
The submission of applications for advances on the compensatory aid provided for in Articles 4, 5 and 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 in respect of 2005 is hereby suspended.
Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, no advances on the compensatory aid will be paid for bananas marketed after 30 April 2005.
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 July 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1 and Article 18.2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1).
(2) The Governing Council of the ECB considers it necessary to review the exception from the close links prohibition set out in Section 6.2.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 with respect to government-guaranteed bank bonds issued and own used as collateral by counterparties.
(3) Counterparties participating in Eurosystem credit operations should be allowed to increase current levels of own-use of government-guaranteed bank bonds subject to the ex ante approval of the Governing Council in exceptional circumstances.
(4) The requests submitted to the Governing Council for the ex ante approval need to be accompanied by a funding plan.
(5) Therefore, Decision ECB/2011/25 of 14 December 2011 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral (2) should be amended accordingly,
Amendment
The following Article 4b is inserted in Decision ECB/2011/25:
‘Article 4b
Acceptance of government-guaranteed bank bonds
1.   Counterparties that issue eligible bank bonds guaranteed by an EEA public sector entity with the right to impose taxes may not submit such bonds or similar bonds issued by closely linked entities as collateral for Eurosystem credit operations in excess of the nominal value of these bonds already submitted as collateral on the day this Decision enters into force.
2.   In exceptional cases, the Governing Council may decide on derogations from the requirement laid down in paragraph 1. A request for a derogation shall be accompanied by a funding plan.’.
Entry into force
This Decision shall enter into force on its date of adoption.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1045/98 of 19 May 1998 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen beef intended for processing (1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999) (1), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,

1. The quantities referred to in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1045/98 amount to 39 447 tonnes.
2. The breakdown referred to in Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1045/98 shall be as follows:
- 35 000 tonnes intended for A-products,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1756/2001
of 5 September 2001
derogating, with regard to set-aside in Austria, from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1038/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1157/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the conditions governing area payments for certain arable crops. Article 19(2) and (3) lays down that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest and must not, except where otherwise provided for, be used for agricultural production or for any lucrative purpose.
(2) Weather conditions in recent months have been characterised by an extreme drought in certain regions of Austria which has considerably affected the supply of feed and exposed producers to serious income losses from having to sell their livestock in situations where their usual feed cannot be ensured.
(3) It is therefore desirable to find additional local feed alternatives for the month of August to feed livestock until the autumn.
(4) The situation described above justifies derogations from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 by authorising, in the regions concerned, the use of set-aside land for arable crops to feed livestock before the end of the set-aside period (on 31 August at the earliest), while providing for measures to ensure that use of the land concerned is not lucrative.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. For the 2001/02 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set-aside in the regions of Austria laid down in the Annex hereto may be used for producing animal feed.
2. Austria shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land is not used for lucrative purposes and, in particular, that the products harvested from the areas concerned are excluded from the aid scheme for dried fodder laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(5).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 23 August 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
