COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1462/2004
of 17 August 2004
revising the maximum amount for the B production levy and amending the minimum price for B beet in the sugar sector for the 2004/05 marketing year
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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 39/2004 (2), and in particular the second and third indents of Article 15(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 15(3) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provide that the losses resulting from the obligation to export surpluses of Community sugar are to be covered, within certain limits, by production levies on the production of A and B sugar, of A and B isoglucose and of inulin syrup A and B.
(2) Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that, where the receipts expected from the basic production levy and the B levy, which must not exceed 2 % and 30 % respectively of the intervention price for white sugar for that marketing year, may well fail to cover the foreseeable total loss for the current marketing year, the maximum percentage of the B levy is to be adjusted to the extent necessary to cover the said total loss but without exceeding 37,5 %.
(3) According to the provisional data currently available, the receipts, before adjustment, of the levies to be collected in respect of the 2004/05 marketing year are likely to be below the equivalent of the average loss multiplied by the exportable surplus. The maximum amount of the B levy for 2004/05 should therefore be raised to 37,5 % of the intervention price for the white sugar concerned.
(4) Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 fixes the minimum price for B beet at EUR 32,42 per tonne, subject to Article 15(5) of that Regulation, which provides for the corresponding adjustment of the price for B beet in the event of adjustment of the maximum amount of the B levy.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
For the 2004/05 marketing year, the maximum amount of the B levy referred to in the first indent of Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall be increased to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar.
For the 2004/05 marketing year, the minimum price for B beet referred to in Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall be fixed, in accordance with Article 15(5) of that Regulation, at EUR 28,84 per tonne.
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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 214/1999 of 25 January 1999 amending Regulation (EC) No 1901/98 concerning a ban on flights of Yugoslav carriers between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Community
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 228a thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 98/426/CFSP of 29 June 1998 defined by the Council on the basis of Article J.2 of the Treaty on European Union concerning a ban on flights by Yugoslav carriers between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Community (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Council adopted Council Regulation (EC) No 1901/98 of 7 September 1998 concerning a ban on flights of Yugoslav carriers between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the European Community (2);
Whereas the Council most recently in its Conclusions of 26 October 1998 has expressed its desire to avoid or to minimise negative effects on Montenegro from the sanctions imposed on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and/or Serbia;
Whereas for that reason and on the basis of the information available the Council decided to exempt Montenegro Airlines from the flight ban imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1901/98 as far as authorisations for charter flights between Leipzig and Tivat are concerned;
Whereas in its conclusions of 6 December 1998, the Council instructed its competent bodies to study options, on the basis of a Commission proposal, for the exemption of Montenegro Airlines from the flight ban on Yugoslav carriers;
Whereas, since then the Montenegrin Government has expressed its interest in authorisations for other flights by Montenegro Airlines between Montenegro and the European Community and has been able to provide conclusive evidence to the Commission that such authorisations will not benefit, directly or indirectly, the Serbian or federal Yugoslav authorities,
Paragraph 1(b) of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1901/98 shall be replaced by the following:
'(b) authorisations for individual or charter series flights by Montenegro Airlines between Montenegro and the European Community, on the condition that conclusive evidence is provided by the Montenegrin Government to the European Commission upon its request that neither the Serbian nor the federal Yugoslav authorities will benefit, directly or indirectly, from the revenues resulting from the flights authorised under this paragraph.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 58/2008
of 24 January 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 opening standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 (2) opened standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States. Article 2 of the said Regulation stipulates that operators’ tenders must be accompanied by a security of EUR 10 per tonne, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedures and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (3).
(2) The Community market has seen a dramatic overall rise in cereal prices since the start of the 2007/08 marketing year. Nevertheless, this rise has not been constant; prices have fluctuated significantly, resulting in at times great disparity between the falling prices on the Community market and the prices at which products are sold during tender procedures upon their release from intervention storage. On the basis of these disparities, it transpires that the lots awarded are not being removed by the operators to which awards are made. The security of EUR 10 per tonne currently in place is therefore not sufficient to ensure that these lots are removed. In order to avoid this situation and to ensure the smooth running of the tendering process covered by Regulation (EC) No 712/2007, the security should be increased.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 is replaced with the following wording:
‘Article 2
The sales referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out under the terms laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93. However, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of that Regulation, the tender security shall be set at EUR 25 per tonne.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of 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.
