Whereas the development of the market in Salmonidae could entail the need to adjust the objectives laid down for the production of trout;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the Danish Government on 30 April 1987 and as last supplemented on 3 July 1987, is hereby approved subject to the conditions set out in this Decision.

(notified under document number C(2008) 2336)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/478/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 October 1996 laying down a Community procedure for flavouring substances used or intended for use in or on foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 lays down the procedure for the establishment of rules in respect of flavouring substances used or intended to be used in foodstuffs. That Regulation provides for the adoption of a register of flavouring substances (the register) following notification by the Member States of a list of the flavouring substances which may be used in or on foodstuffs marketed in their territory and on the basis of scrutiny by the Commission of that notification. That register was adopted by Commission Decision 1999/217/EC (2).
(2) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 provides for a programme for the evaluation of flavouring substances in order to check whether they comply with the general criteria for the use of flavouring substances set out in the Annex to that Regulation.
(3) The European Food Safety Authority concluded in its opinion of 29 November 2007 on aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, that 2-Methylbuta-1,3-diene (registered with FL-No 01 049) showed genotoxic potential in vivo and carcinogenic effect in experimental animals. Accordingly, its use as a flavouring substance is not acceptable, because it does not comply with the general criteria for the use of flavouring substances set out in the Annex to the Regulation (EC) No 2232/96. As a consequence, the substance should be deleted from the register.
(4) Decision 1999/217/EC should 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,
In the Annex to Decision 1999/217/EC, in Part A, the row in the table for the substance bearing FL-No 01 049 (2-Methylbuta-1,3-diene) is deleted.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.

A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.

(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
