THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1038/2001(2), and in particular the third indent of the second paragraph of Article 9 thereof,

(1) Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 lays down that, in order to qualify for area payments, producers must have sown the seed no later than 31 May preceding the relevant harvest.
(2) In view of the weather conditions in the area, the Region of Lombardy adopted plant-health rules on 15 February 2003 prohibiting the direct sowing of maize before 15 June 2003. Consequently, farmers in the municipalities concerned will be unable to comply with the 31 May deadline for sowing.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2990/94 of 5 December 1994 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards the set-aside requirement for the 1995/96 marketing year
THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the support system for producers of certain arable crops introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), provides that, in order to qualify for compensatory payments under the general scheme, producers must set aside a predetermined percentage of  their arable land; whereas this percentage should be re-examined to take account of production and market developments;
Whereas since the introduction of the system the cereals market has achieved a better balance as a result of a reduction in production and an increase in Community consumption; whereas this situation, together with the favourable world market situation,  has resulted in a significant reduction in intervention cereal stocks; whereas it has also led to a rise in the prices for cereals on the Community market;
Whereas the present market situation for cereals is threatening to undermine, in the short term, some of the results achieved since the reform of the arable sector, in particular the continuing rise in the consumption of cereals in animal feed; whereas  the rate for set-aside beginning not later than 15 January 1995 should be set temporarily therefore for the 1995/96 marketing year at a level lower than that resulting from the provisions in force,
Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, the set-aside requirement based on rotation is hereby fixed for the 1995/96 marketing year at 12 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to set-aside for the 1995/96 marketing year only.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 April 2008
amending Decision 2006/133/EC requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur
(notified under document number C(2008) 1580)
(2008/340/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/133/EC of 13 February 2006 requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode – PWN) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur (2), Portugal has taken measures against the dissemination of the pine wood nematode.
(2) Portugal has sent a report to the Commission on the execution of those measures in 2007 which shows that PWN has not spread beyond the demarcated areas, but continues to be present in those areas.
(3) The implementation of the Portuguese measures in 2007 was evaluated by the Standing Committee on Plant Health in its meeting of 26-27 November 2007. It was concluded that the reduction of infection level in the demarcated area aimed at by Decision 2006/133/EC had not been fully achieved.
(4) Therefore, Portugal should continue to take such measures in the form of an eradication plan until 31 March 2012, a realistic period to achieve a significant progress in the control of PWN.
(5) To increase the efficiency of those measures in case of isolated outbreaks in the buffer zone of the demarcated area, a ‘focus zone’ should be established within the buffer zone where susceptible plants are removed. Around the focus zone there should be a zone where susceptible plants are inspected regularly (safety zone).
(6) The requirements for the movement of susceptible wood in the form of packaging material originating in the demarcation area should be aligned with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 15 on Guidelines for regulating wood packaging material in international trade.
(7) Decision 2006/133/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2006/133/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
2. In the second paragraph of Article 4, the words ‘by 15 December 2006 and 15 December 2007’ are replaced by the words ‘annually by 15 December’.
3. The Annex to Decision 2006/133/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
