fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 August 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2261/98(2), and in particular Article 9,
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and those rules also apply to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods;
Whereas, pursuant to the said general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table annexed to the present Regulation must be classified under the appropriate CN codes indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3;
Whereas it is accepted that binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature and which do not conform to the rights established by this Regulation, can continue to be invoked, under the provisions in Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), for a period of three months by the holder;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1215/2005
of 28 July 2005
amending Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004 laying down transitional measures in the wine sector by reason of the accession of Hungary to the European Union
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1) lays down that any natural or legal person or group of persons having made wine is required to deliver for distillation all the by-products of that winemaking.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2) establishes the rules applicable to such distillation and Article 49 thereof provides for certain exceptions to that obligation.
(3) Hungary has adopted the measures needed to implement this distillation obligation, but there has been a delay in the construction of new distilleries to process the by-products of winemaking. Consequently, part of the by-products of the 2004/05 wine year will be distilled in 2005/06. Nevertheless, existing capacity is not yet sufficient to distil all the by-products of both wine years simultaneously.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004 (3) authorises Hungary to exempt certain categories of producers from the obligation to distil by-products of wine-making for the 2004/05 wine year. In view of the situation described above, that authorisation should be extended to the 2005/06 marketing year.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1990/2004, ‘for the 2004/2005 marketing year’ is hereby replaced by ‘for the 2004/2005 and 2005/06 marketing years’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 November 2005
authorising the Republic of Estonia to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base
(notified under document number C(2005) 4423)
(Only the Estonian text is authentic)
(2005/816/EC, Euratom)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 28(3) of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (2), hereinafter called ‘the sixth Directive’, the Member States may continue to exempt or tax certain transactions. These transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) For the application of the provisions in Article 28(3) of the sixth Directive, Paragraph 1(b) of Section 7 (Taxation) in Annex VI to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Estonia to the European Communities (3) authorises the Republic of Estonia to exempt certain transactions listed in Annex F to the sixth Directive.
(3) The Republic of Estonia is unable to make a precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions listed in Annex F, point 17, to the sixth Directive. Such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on the Republic of Estonia’s total VAT resources base. The Republic of Estonia is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for this category of transactions listed in Annex F to the sixth Directive. The Republic of Estonia should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89.
(4) The Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 May 2004, the Republic of Estonia is authorised to use approximate estimates in respect of the following category of transactions referred to in Annex F to the sixth Directive:
1. Passenger transport (Annex F, point 17).
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Estonia.

COMMISSION DECISION  of 12 December 1980  empowering Ireland to refuse authorization to slaughter on its territory certain sheep originating in the United Kingdom  (Only the English text is authentic)  (80/1227/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 9 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 lays down that, in the event of payment of the variable slaughter premium for sheep, an amount equivalent to that premium is to be charged on products referred to in Article 1 (a) of that Regulation as they leave the territory of the Member State which grants the said premium;
Whereas the United Kingdom, which grants the said premium, and Ireland have a common land frontier ; whereas it is possible to send animals which have qualified for the premium in the United Kingdom across the said frontier fraudulently and to have them slaughtered in Ireland without paying the amount referred to above ; whereas this problem cannot be resolved by the usual means;
Whereas, in order to limit the said risk of fraud, it is accordingly necessary to make provision for the Irish authorities to refuse the slaughter on their territory of animals in respect of which no proof is provided that the abovementioned amount had been paid when the said animals left the territory of the United Kingdom, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2661/80 (2);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
Where sheep originating in the United Kingdom and marked pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2661/80 are presented for slaughter in Ireland and no proof to the satisfaction of the competent authorities is provided that the amount referred to in Article 4 of the said Regulation has been paid or a security for that amount provided as laid down in paragraph 2 of the same Article, the Irish authorities shall refuse to authorize slaughter of the said animals on their territory.
The competent Irish authorities shall inform the competent authorities of the United Kingdom and the Commission of cases where slaughter has been refused pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland.
