amending Regulation (EEC) No 4055/89 fixing catch possibilities for 1990 for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks in the Regulatory Area as defined in the NAFO Convention
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it falls to the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by stock or group of stocks, the share available for the Community and also the specific conditions under which the catches must be made;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4055/89 (1) fixed catch possibilities for 1990 for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks in the Regulatory Area as defined in the Convention and Future Multilateral Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (NAFO Convention);
Whereas NAFO has set the 1990 TAC for squid (Illex) in NAFO sub-areas 3 and 4 at 150 000 tonnes, subject to adjustment where warranted by scientific advice;
Whereas 16 000 tonnes of the TAC have been allocated to certain Contracting Parties of NAFO;
Whereas no quota for squid (Illex) in NAFO sub-areas 3 and 4 for 1990 has been fixed by NAFO for the Community and Canada, the allocations to these Parties being as yet undetermined;
Whereas the sum of the Community and Canadian quotas shall not exceed the difference between the total of allocations to other Contracting Parties and the TAC;
Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the Community participates in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in international waters;
Whereas the scientific information now available on the squid (Illex) stocks in NAFO sub-areas 3 and 4 does not allow for catch protection for 1990;
Whereas it is appropriate consequently to limit the fishing possibilities of the Community on the stocks in the current year by a precautionary TAC,
The text relating to squid (Illex) in NAFO sub-areas 3 and 4 set out in Annex 1 to Regulation (EEC) No 4055/89 is hereby replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1298/2003
of 22 July 2003
supplementing the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2400/96 on the entry of certain names in the Register of protected designation of origin and protected geographical indications provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs "Φοινίκι Λακωνίας" (Finiki Lakonias)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 6(3), (4) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, Greece has sent the Commission an application for the registration of the name "ΦΟΙΝΙΚΙ ΛΑΚΩΝΙΑΣ" (Finiki Lakonias) as a protected designation of origin.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation, the application has been found to meet all the requirements laid down therein and in particular to contain all the information required in accordance with Article 4 thereof.
(3) A statement of objection has been received by the Commission from Italy under Article 7 of that Regulation following publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3). This statement of objection concerning the provision in the product specification allowing bottling to take place outside the defined geographical area was not found admissible within the meaning of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 as it did not show non-compliance with the conditions referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation. No other statement of objection has been notified to the Commission in respect of the name Φοινίκι Λακωνίας (Finiki Lakonias) following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
(4) The name should therefore be entered in the Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications and hence be protected throughout the Community as a protected designation of origin.
(5) The Annex to this Regulation supplements the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2400/96(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1291/2003(5).
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar (1), and in particular Article 24(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (2), stipulates that the cif import price for molasses established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (3), is to be considered the representative price.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 19 June 1978
concerning the conclusion of the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes
(78/923/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’) has been drawn up within the Council of Europe with the aim of protecting animals kept for farming purposes, particularly in modern intensive production systems;
Whereas Council Directive 70/373/EEC of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (3), as last amended by Directive 76/372/EEC (4), Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feeding-stuffs (5), as last amended by Directive 78/117/EEC (6) and Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 on the fixing of maximum permitted levels for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs (7), as last amended by Directive 76/934/EEC (8), have introduced common rules which may be affected by the Convention, and especially by the implementation of certain of its provisions;
Whereas other provisions of the Convention cover areas for which the Community has not yet introduced common rules;
Whereas the protection of animals is not in itself one of the objectives of the Community; whereas, however, there are disparities between existing national laws on the protection of animals kept for farming purposes which may give rise to unequal conditions of competition and which may consequently have an indirect effect on the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas, moreover, the Convention deals with matters which are covered by the common agricultural policy;
Whereas it would therefore seem that Community participation in the Convention is necessary for the attainment of the objectives of the Community;
Whereas stock-farming in Greenland is carried on in conditions which are fundamentally different from those obtaining in the other regions of the Community on account of the general circumstances and in particular the climate, the low density of population and the exceptional size of the island; whereas, therefore, the Convention should not apply to Greenland,
The European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
The text of the Convention is annexed to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall deposit the instrument of approval in accordance with Article 14 of the Convention (9).
When depositing the instrument of approval, the President of the Council shall, in accordance with Article 16 of the Convention, state that the Convention will not apply to Greenland.
