(4) the levying of normal customs duties for these products should therefore be re-introduced,
From 10 October 1999 until 31 December 1999, the levying of normal customs duties shall be re-introduced on imports into the Community of products listed in the Annex and originating in the Republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, for which a tariff ceiling was opened by Regulation (EC) No 70/97.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 January 2009 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 27/2009 (3).
(2) As the average of the import duties calculated differs by more than EUR 5/tonne from that fixed, a corresponding adjustment must be made to the import duties fixed by Regulation (EC) No 27/2009.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 19 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (2), and in particular Article 10 (5) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3103/76 of 16 December 1976 on aid for durum wheat (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1455/82 (4), laid down general rules applying to the granting of such aid; whereas it specified that the aid would be granted to producers in certain regions of Italy, France and Greece and in particular to those located in mountain, hill and less-favoured areas as referred to in Council Directive 75/268/EEC (5), as last amended by Directive 84/169/EEC (6);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2835/77 (7) set 30 April of each year as the final date for submission of applications for aid for durum wheat;

Whereas a derogation should therefore be introduced to apply to these areas;
Whereas, moreover, since farmers in these areas will be receiving aid for durum wheat for the first time, the aid applications submitted should, to the extent necessary, be the subject of closer scrutiny;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1.

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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 August 2007
amending Decision 2006/656/EC as regards the list of territories from which imports of tropical ornamental fish into the Community are authorised
(notified under document number C(2007) 3960)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/592/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part II of Annex I to Commission Decision 2006/656/EC of 20 September 2006 laying down the animal health conditions and certification requirements for imports of fish for ornamental purpose (2) lays down a list of territories from which imports of tropical ornamental fish into the Community are authorised. That list includes all member countries of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
(2) Tropical ornamental fish are not susceptible to the diseases listed in Annex A to Directive 91/67/EEC and pose a relatively low risk to the animal health situation in the Community. OIE membership has been deemed as fulfilling the criteria, as referred to in Article 19(2) of Directive 91/67/EEC, that third countries should comply with to be allowed to export tropical ornamental fish to the Community, as it ensures notification of any aquatic animal health event to the other OIE members.
(3) The Maldives was an important exporter of tropical ornamental fish to some Member States but is not yet a member of the OIE. However, by letter dated 9 May 2007, the Maldives committed itself to join the OIE and to fulfil the obligations deriving from such membership in the interim period before it officially becomes a member of the OIE.
(4) The Maldives should be included in Part II of Annex I to Decision 2006/656/EC before it officially joins the OIE. However, if the Maldives has not acceded to the OIE by 31 December 2007 at the latest, imports of tropical ornamental fish from that country to the Community should no longer be authorised after that date.
(5) Decision 2006/656/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2006/656/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 425/2002

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
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), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
