COMMISSION DECISION of 1 April 1993 on the release of securities relating to certain licences and certificates issued under the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Articles 3 (4), 4 (4), 5 (2) and 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas the entry into force of the supply arrangements for the Canary Islands was achieved by centralizing the administrative procedures relating to the submission of applications and the issue of licences and certificates; whereas such centralization  of the procedures is justified by the need to verify that the supply system is being correctly administered; whereas, however, the transition from the former to the new arrangements has created certain problems of assessment of the needs of Canarian  importers; whereas such importers have, on occasion, applied for the issue of import licences, exemption certificates and aid certificates in respect of quantities exceeding realistic utilization levels;
Whereas the issue of licences, and certificates shall be conditional upon the lodging of a security; whereas that security shall be forfeit in the event of non-observance of the obligation to use the licence or certificate;
Whereas a temporary provision derogating from a strict application of the rules governing such licences and  certificates is warranted in order to facilitate the transition from the former to the new supply arrangements for the Canary Islands;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant Management Committees,
Securities lodged for the import licences, the exemption certificates and the aid certificates:
- which have been issued during the period 1 July to 30 September 1992 pursuant to Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Regulation No 1601/92, and
- which have been used only partly or not at all,
shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 (2).
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2910/73 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas because of the difficulties inherent in extending the Farm Accountancy Data Network, the limits within which the number of holdings may be chosen in each division should be widened;
Whereas the accounting sample is intended to represent the entire field of survey at the end of the extension period, i.e. 1978 accounting year at the latest ; whereas the fixing of a minimum number of returning holdings in each category of holding is not compatible with that aim ; whereas the relevant provision should therefore be deleted;
Whereas mushroom cultivation is an agricultural activity and holdings engaged therein should be included in the field of survey ; whereas, mushrooms should therefore be included in the list of reference products which define the said field of survey;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2428/91  of 29 July 1991  increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1991 for newsprint
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products  from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that  part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1991 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3275/90 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for  these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000 tonnes,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3275/90 for newsprint from Canada shall be increased from 600 000 tonnes to 630 000 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.
