COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 432/2010
of 20 May 2010
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2), in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that export refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Export refunds for the Dominican Republic have been differentiated to take into account the reduced custom duties applied on imports under the import tariff quota under the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2), approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3). Due to a changed market situation in the Dominican Republic, characterised by increased competition for milk powder, the quota is no longer fully used. In order to maximise the use of the quota, the differentiation of export refunds for the Dominican Republic should be abolished.
(5) Commission Regulation (EU) No 326/2010 (4) amending Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 of 17 December 1987 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds (5) added certain product codes concerning cheeses to the agricultural product nomenclature. Consequently, those codes should be included in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation, subject to the conditions provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009 (6).
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 May 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 17 February 2000
concerning the status of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with regard to infectious haematopoietic necrosis and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia and repealing Decisions 92/538/EEC and 97/185/EC
(notified under document number C(2000) 374)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2000/188/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products(1), as last amended by Directive 98/45/EC(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Member States can obtain for their entire territory or parts thereof, the status of approved zone, free of certain diseases affecting fish or molluscs.
(2) The Commission, by Decision 92/538/EEC(3), granted the status of approved continental and coastal zone for infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN) and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) to Great Britain.
(3) Following confirmation of a case of VHS on the island of Gigha, being part of the territory of Great Britain, the status of approved zone for VHS for this island was withdrawn by Commission Decision 94/817/EC(4).
(4) The United Kingdom has submitted to the Commission a programme, which was adopted by Commission Decision 97/185/EC(5), designed to re-establish the approved zone status of the island of Gigha with regard to VHS.
(5) After examination of the evidence submitted by the United Kingdom, it appears that this programme has been successfully completed, since no case of VHS has been detected through an extensive testing of both wild and farmed fish.
(6) The conditions are fulfilled to re-establish the approved zone status of the island of Gigha with regard to VHS.
(7) For the sake of clarity it is, therefore, appropriate to repeal Commission Decisions 92/538/EEC and 97/185/EC and to re-establish the approved zone status, with regard to IHN and VHS, of the entire territory of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Great Britain is recognised as approved continental zone and approved coastal zone for fish with regard to infectious haematopoietic necrosis and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia.
Northern Ireland is recognised as approved continental zone and aproved coastal zone for fish with regard to infectious haematopoietic necrosis and viral haemorrhagic septicaemia.
Decisions 92/538/EEC and 97/185/EC are herewith repealed.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION  of 13 July 1992  altering the adjustment aid to the Portuguese refining industry for raw sugar imported from third countries at a reduced levy for the 1992/93 marketing year into Portugal  (92/391/EEC)
THE COMMISSION  OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 61/92 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, during the 1991 and 1992/93 marketing years, adjustment aid is to be granted as an intervention measure to the refining industry for raw sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced  levy pursuant to Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and refined into white sugar in Portugal; whereas that aid amounts to ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for quantities of such sugar thus imported and  refined in Portugal; whereas the quantities of raw sugar imported at a reduced levy are those referred to in the first paragraph of Article 303 of the Act of Accession as well as the quantities lacking referred to in the third paragraph of that Article,  the import of which at a reduced levy is authorized for the marketing year under consideration;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 9 (4c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the abovementioned adjustment aid may be altered for a given marketing year, in the light in particular of the amount of the storage levy fixed for that year;  whereas although sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy is not subject to the storage levy, in view of the quantities of such sugar refined that levy is a determining factor for the prices as a whole on the market for white sugar and therefore  for the margin of the Portuguese refineries;
Whereas the amount of the storage levy for the 1992/93 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/92 (3) at ECU 2,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas this amount is identical to that applicable for the 1991/92 marketing  year;
Whereas account should, however, be taken in the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the 1990/91 and 1991/92 marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy reductions on the refining margin for  the 1992/93 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The adjustment aid provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be fixed et ECU 1,58 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1992/93 marketing year.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
