THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) and Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 96/23/EC lays down measures to monitor the substances and groups of residues listed in Annex I thereto. This Directive requires that third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and animal products covered by that Directive submit a residue monitoring plan providing required guarantees. That plan should, at least, include the groups of residues and substances listed in Annex I of that Directive.
(2) Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (2) approves the plans provided for in Article 29 of Directive 96/23/EC submitted by certain third countries listed in the Annex to that Decision for the animals and animal products indicated in that list (‘the list’).
(3) Mexico is currently included in the list as regards, inter alia, equine. However, the latest audits carried out by the Commission in Mexico have confirmed serious shortcomings in the capacity of the Mexican authorities to carry out reliable checks and in particular to attest the absence of substances prohibited by Council Directive 96/22/EC (3).
(4) The entry for Mexico as regards equine should therefore be removed from the list.
(5) Decision 2011/163/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to avoid any disruption to trade, a transitional period should be laid down to cover the relevant consignments from Mexico which were dispatched to the Union before the date of application of this Decision.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision will be reviewed by the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, in light of the guarantees provided by the Mexican authorities.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
The Annex to Decision 2011/163/EU is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
For a transitional period until 1 March 2015, Member States shall accept consignments of meat and meat products of equidae imported from Mexico and intended for human consumption provided that the importer demonstrates that the products had been certified and dispatched to the Union prior to 15 January 2015.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 21,141/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 July 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides for determination of the Community market price of slaughtered pigs from prices recorded on the representative markets;
Whereas, in order to enable this provision to be applied, a list of representative markets must be drawn up; whereas reference must be made in fixing the prices of pig carcases to quotations obtained directly from the markets or from the slaughterhouses as well as from quotations established in the quotation centres and of which the entirety forms a representative market for each Member State;
Whereas in Germany, Denmark, France, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom the prices paid by the public and private slaughterhouses are ascertained by one or more quotation centres for the various regions; whereas in Italy, Ireland and Luxembourg, prices are directly recorded in the most important selling places, while in Belgium and in Spain the quotations are established from an average between the quotations noted on the markets and in the slaughterhouses on the one hand and in the quotation centres on the other hand;
Whereas the purpose of this Regulation is to replace the list established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 43/81 of 1 January 1981 establishing the list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3553/88 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The representative markets within the meaning of Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be the markets listed in the Annex hereto.
References to Regulation (EEC) No 43/81, shall be construed as references to this Regulation.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges(4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3391/87(5), provides that oranges of the Shamouti variety  are, for the 1987/88 marketing year and up to a certain quantity, to qualify under the provisions laid down for certain varieties of oranges for processing;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3391/87 of 9 November 1987 concerning special measures for the processing of certain varieties of oranges and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 makes the arrangements provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69  applicable, for Spain and during the 1987/88 marketing year, to oranges of the Cadenera, Castellana and Macetera varieties up to a certain quantity;
Whereas the characteristics of the disposal of those varieties continue to obtain; whereas the provisions laid down for the 1987/88 marketing year should therefore be extended to the 1988/89 marketing year,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1365/2001
of 4 July 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(3)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95 of 27 June 1995 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the sugar sector(2), the export licences for the products referred to therein are valid from the date of issue until the end of the third month following that date.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 of 28 June 2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state(3) fixes the export refunds applicable to these products from 29 June 2001 and limits the validity of the export licences to 30 September 2001 so that there is no difference in treatment between operators using the licences by 30 September 2001 and those using them after that date.
(3) In order to allow operators to conclude contracts after 30 September 2001 using an export licence issued in July 2001, the amount of the export refund should be established for licences issued in July 2001 but used after 30 September 2001. The second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001, which limits the term of validity of these export licences, should therefore be replaced.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(5) In order to avoid a difference in treatment between the export licences issued before and after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Regulation should apply to licences issued on or after the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 entered into force.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2001 is replaced by the following: "Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001. It shall apply to export licences issued on or after 29 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Decision 2002/69/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China
(notified under document number C(2002) 4583)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/933/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2002/69/EC of 30 January 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China(2), as last amended by Decision 2002/768/EC(3), was adopted following the identification during a Community inspection visit to China of serious shortcomings as regards veterinary medicines regulation and the residue control system in live animals and animal products, and following the presence of harmful residues, including chloramphenicol, in products intended for human or animal consumption, presenting a risk to their health.
(2) Decision 2002/69/EC was to be reviewed on the basis of the information provided by the Chinese competent authorities of any results from the increased monitoring and testing carried out by Member States on consignments arriving before 14 March 2002 and, if necessary, of the results of an on-the-spot inspection visit by Community experts.
(3) In view of the information provided by the Chinese authorities as regards the control and the production conditions of crayfish of the species Procambrus clarkii and surimi obtained from the fishery species listed in Decision 2002/69/EC, imports of these products from China should be authorised. However, since the presence of chloramphenicol was detected in surimi and crayfish, it is necessary, in order to ensure their safety, to carry out intensified monitoring and testing of imports of these products applying to 20 % of the consignments arriving at the Community border inspection posts.
(4) Decision 2002/69/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Decision 2002/69/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 2 December 2002.
