amending Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 2002 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required, by virtue of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002, when necessary, to adopt measures for the implementation of common basic standards for aviation security throughout the Community. Commission Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 of 4 April 2003 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security (2) was the first act laying down such measures.
(2) The measures provided for by Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be reviewed in light of technical developments, operational implications at airports and the impact on passengers. Further research has shown that the benefits of a rulemaking on cabin bag size would not outweigh the operational implications at airports and impact on passengers. This rule, which would apply as from 6 May 2008, should thus be deleted.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 May 2008.

Whereas Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for the possibility of setting an intervention threshold if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering or at risk of suffering from imbalances giving or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals; whereas such a development would be likely to cause budget problems for the Community;
Whereas intervention thresholds were fixed for melons and water melons for the 1997/98 marketing year by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/97 (3); whereas, since the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for those products, new thresholds should be set for the 1998/99 marketing year and the period to be taken into account for the assessment of the overrun of the thresholds should also be determined;
Whereas, pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold results in a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the year in which the threshold is exceeded; whereas the consequences of such an overrun should be determined and a reduction in proportion to the size of the overrun, up to a maximum percentage, should be fixed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The intervention thresholds for the 1998/99 marketing year shall be:
- 176 600 tonnes for melons, and
- 197 400 tonnes for water melons.
2. The overrun of the intervention thresholds laid down in paragraph 1 shall be assessed on the basis of withdrawals effected between 1 February 1998 and 31 January 1999.
If the quantity of melons or water melons withdrawn during the period set in Article 1(2) exceeds the relevant threshold set in Article 1(1), the Community withdrawal compensation set in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the following marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
However, the reduction in the Community compensation shall not exceed 30 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

(2) Article 31(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1274/91 refers to checks carried out in the packing centres on graded eggs ready for dispatch and not to checks on eggs leaving the packing centres. Therefore, an amendment of the current wording of Article 31(1)(a) should be made accordingly in order to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation.
(3) In order to ensure proper land management and to prevent a build-up of harmful diseases, the open-air runs for laying hens may need to be rotated. Birds should be given even access to the whole paddock area and, where rotation on extensive free range system with at least 10 m2 per hen is practised, each bird should be ensured at all times at least 2,5 m2.
(4) It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1274/91 accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
Regulation (EEC) No 1274/91 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 31(1)(a), the introductory phrase "on dispatch from the packing centre:" is replaced by the phrase "at the packing centre, ready for dispatch:";
2. in Annex III, the third indent of point (a) is replaced by the following:
"- the open-air runs must at least satisfy the conditions specified in Article 4(1)(3)(b)(ii) of Council Directive 1999/74/EC whereby the maximum stocking density is not greater than 2500 hens per hectare of ground available to the hens or one hen per 4 m2 at all times; however, where at least 10 m2 per hen is available and where rotation is practised and hens are given even access to the whole area over the flock's life, each paddock used must at any time assure at least 2,5 m2 per hen,
- the open-air runs do not extend beyond a radius of 150 m from the nearest pophole of the building; however an extension of up to 350 m from the nearest pophole of the building is permissible provided that a sufficient number of shelters and drinking troughs within the meaning of that provision are evenly distributed throughout the whole open-air run with at least four shelters per hectare."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
