COMMISSION DECISION  of 27 November 1991  amending Commission Decision 89/218/ECSC of 23 December 1988 concerning aid that the Italian Government proposes to grant to the public steel sector  (Only the Italian text is authentic)  (92/17/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the first and second paragraphs of Article 95 thereof,
Having consulted the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council,
Whereas:
Under the Italian steel restructuring plan and pursuant to Article 2 of Commission Decision 89/218/ECSC (1), as amended by Decision 90/89/ECSC (2), the Italian authorities were required to close the cold-rolling mill in Turin (MPP 708 Kt/year).
The Italian Government, however, has requested that the closure of the Turin cold-rolling mill (MPP 708 Kt/year) be replaced by the closure of cold-rolling mill No 1 at Cornigliano (MPP 600 Kt/year) and a 108 Kt/year reduction in cold-rolling capacity  at the Racconigi mill.
Contrary to the forecasts of the restructuring plan the Turin cold-rolling mill made a profit in 1989 and 1990. Its closure would therefore lead to a deterioration in the financial position of the Italian public steel industry.
On the other hand, the closure of mill No 1 at Cornigliano would significantly reduce the serious air pollution in Genoa created by the steelworks.
In addition, as the capacity reduction proposed by the Italian Government concerns the same type of products and the same quantities, it will contribute as much to the structural regeneration of the Community steel industry as would the closure of the  Turin plant.
The proposed replacement will require a six-month extension to the deadline fixed for the Turin closure.
The release, pursuant to Article 6 (4) of Decision 89/218/ECSC, of aid segments in addition to those referred to in Article 6 (3) must be brought into line with the new closure timetable,
Decision 89/218/ECSC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2:
- the table in paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
' (in 1 000 tonnes)
Pig iron  Steel  Finished products       Hot-rolled  Cold-rolled        Bagnoli  2 350  2 700    Campi (heavy plate)   350  400   Turin (merchant bar, wire rod)   375  250   Terni (concrete reinforcing bar)    300   Sesto S. Giovanni  (merchant bar, wire rod)    230   Cornigliano (mill No 1)     600  Racconigi (permanent partial reduction)     108        Total  2 350  3 425  1 180  708 '
- the following is added to the end of paragraph 3: 'and the closure of mill No 1 at  Cornigliano and the permanent partial reduction at Racconigi, which must be achieved by 30 June 1991 at the latest';
2. In Article 6 (5), '31 December 1990' is replaced by '31 August 1991'.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
COUNCIL  DECISION
of 25 June 1986
amending Council Decision 76/228/ECSC on the granting of daily subsistence allowances and refunds of travel expenses to Members of the Consultative Committee of the European Coal and Steel Community

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities, and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas the amount of the daily subsistence allowances payable to members of the Consultative Committee of the European Coal and Steel Community should be adjusted to take account of the increased subsistence expenses of the Committee's members,
With effect from 1 January 1986, Council Decision 76/228/ECSC of 16 February 1976 on the granting of daily subsistence allowances and refunds of travel expenses to members of the Consultative Committee of the European Coal and Steel Community (1), as last amended by Decision 85/123/ECSC (2), is hereby amended as follows:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 506/92  of 28 February 1992  on transitional measures regarding the total acidity content of wines produced in Spain and released to the Spanish market for 1992
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1), and in particular Article 90 thereof, whose period of validity has been extended to 31 December 1992 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No  477/92 (3),
Whereas a table wine must have a total acidity content, expressed as tartaric acid, of not less than 4,5 grams per litre in accordance with point 13 of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the  market in wine (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/91 (5); whereas Article 127 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal lays down that, until 31 December 1990, table wines produced in Spain and released on the Spanish market may have a  total acidity content of not less than 3,5 grams per litre; whereas the conditions justifying this derogation are connected, in addition to the climatic conditions, with the structure of the wine sector, the development of which is relatively slow;
Whereas, in order to avoid serious imbalance on the market for table wine in Spain, provision should be made for a derogation in respect of the total acidity content of table wine produced and placed on the market in Spain; whereas Commission Regulation  (EEC) No 2276/91 (6) made provision for a similar derogation until 31 December 1991; whereas, for the same reasons, that derogation should be extended and its effect limited to 31 December 1992;
Whereas there should be a gradual process of alignment with the total acidity contents of table wines from the other Member States; whereas, therefore, the derogation should be restricted to Part B of Region 6 as provided for in Article 1 (4) of  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3720/91 (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Until 31 December 1992, table wines produced in Part B of Region 6 in Spain, as referred to in Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3720/91 and released on the Spanish market may have a total acidity content, expressed as tartaric acid, of  not less than 3,5 grams per litre.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2087/97 (2), and in particular Article 46(5) and Article 81 thereof,
Whereas, in view of the time needed to complete examination of the programmes, the time limit provided for signature of contracts in Article 1(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1435/97 (3) should be extended;
Whereas the time limit resulting from the provision in the initial text is 1 May 1998; whereas the Regulation must therefore enter into force on the day of its publication;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1435/97 is hereby replaced by the following:
'2. Contracts for that campaign shall be signed by 1 July 1998 at the latest. The payment of contracts shall be made at the latest three months after the successful fulfilment of the contracts.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 26 July 1984
amending Regulations No 93/67/EEC and (EEC) No 496/70 on the quality control of fruit and vegetables as regards the 1984/85 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1332/84 (2), and in particular Articles 8 (2) and 12 (3) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2162/84 (3) amended the quality standards for dessert apples and pears provided for in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1641/71 (4) by laying down that the fruit must be sufficiently developed so that it can continue its maturing process and to attain the degree of maturity required in relation to the varietal characteristics;
Whereas, in the case of apples, experience has shown that, in some cases, difficulties may be encountered in the task of verifying this state of development; whereas, in order to facilitate the work of the control bodies, the methods to be used for judging this development should be specified;
Whereas Commission Regulation No 93/67/EEC of 3 May 1967 laying down initial provisions on the quality control of fruit and vegetables marketed within the Community (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2638/69 (6) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 496/70 of 17 March 1970 laying down initial provisions for the quality control of fruit and vegetables exported to third countries (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 860/83 (8), should therefore be supplemented accordingly;
