COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 747/93 of 17 March 1993 derogating, with regard to the granting to Portugal of the suckler cow premium, from Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal
THE COUNCIL OF  THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the Single Market requires the abolition of all barriers to trade not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also, to the greatest possible extent, between those Member States  and the new Member States;
Whereas this approach means abolishing the only mechanism still protecting the Portuguese market in the beef and veal sector at this time, namely the supplementary trade mechanism licences; whereas it could consequently exert pressure on prices and the  incomes of Portuguese producers; whereas appropriate support of the above incomes may be ensured by increasing for these producers for a period of three years the amount paid in respect of the suckler cow premium provided for by Council Regulation (EEC)  No 805/68 of 27 June 1968, on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), and if the first impact of the abovementioned pressure is reduced by advances that the Portuguese Government would be authorized to grant; whereas the increase of  the reserve laid down in Article 4f of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 may favour the structural improvement of Portuguese production and thus its adaptation to the situation created by the elimination of the accession mechanisms,
1. By way of derogation to Article 4b (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the Portuguese Republic, for 1993, on the basis of national funds and in accordance with the detailed rules provided for under Article 27 of the said Regulation, may, as  from the entry into force of this Regulation, grant advances equal to 50 % of the applicable suckler cow premium.
2. By way of derogation from or additional to Article 4d of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68:
- 12 000 rights in addition to those provided for in paragraph 6 of the said Article shall be added to the Portuguese national reserve,
- the suckler cow premium provided for in paragraph 7 of the said Article shall be, for Portugal, fixed for the years 1993 to 1998 as follows:
1993: ECU 160,
1994: ECU 160,
1995: ECU 160,
1996: ECU 130,
1997: ECU 130,
1998: ECU 130.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 (1) implements several measures provided for by Council Decision 2011/101/CFSP (2), including the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain natural or legal persons, entities and bodies.
(2) The suspension of the travel restrictions and asset freeze measures applying to the majority of the individuals and entities set out in Annex I to Decision 2011/101/CFSP should be renewed, and further extended to cover eight more individuals.
(3) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(4) An updated Annex should be added to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 to include eight more individuals who are to benefit from the suspension of the prohibitions laid down in Article 6(1) and (2) thereof, in addition to the 81 persons and eight entities, who already benefit from the suspension of the application of Article 6 provided for in Council Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 (3).
(5) Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The extension of the suspension provided for in Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 is due to expire on 20 February 2014 and that extension is to be provided for in this Regulation. In the interests of legal clarity, therefore, Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 should be repealed.
(7) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force on the day of its publication,
Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 6, the following paragraph is added:

Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 is repealed.
