Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3926/90 of 20 December 1990 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1991 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 2381/91 (4), provides for hake quotas for 1991;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member  State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of hake in the waters of ICES divisions II a (EC zone), IV (EC Zone) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands have reached the quota  allocated for 1991; whereas the Netherlands have prohibited fishing for this stock as from 10 August 1991; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

Fishing for hake in the waters of ICES divisions II a (EC zone), IV (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock  captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Secondly, minimum juice contents applicable to the different varieties of oranges shall be updated. Lastly, it is appropriate to stipulate that the labelling requirement with regards to preserving agents only applies to post-harvest treatments.

Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC and in particular Article 13a (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;
Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes I and II to Decision 82/838/EEC;
Whereas, by Decision 83/28/EEC (5), the Commission has suspended for a period of 15 days the status of official freedom from swine fever or freedom from swine fever of affected parts of German territory;
Whereas taking account of the epidemiological evolution of the disease, the Commission, by Decision 83/68/EEC (6), temporarily prolonged this period of suspension for certain regions beyond the 15 days provided for initially;
Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the regions listed in the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 97/48/EC of 29 July 1997 amending for the second time Council Directive 82/711/EEC laying down the basic rules necessary for testing migration of the constituents of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (Text with EEA relevance)

Having regard to Council Directive 89/109/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas the indication of an excessive number of foodstuffs types which could be in contact with some plastic materials and articles may not be easy to understand and therefore these materials and articles should be submitted to all the food simulants or test media provided by this Directive to protect the consumer;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The Annex to Directive 82/711/EEC is replaced by the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 (2) lays down the rules regarding automatic de-commitment of unused appropriations, and in particular provides, for the years 2004 and 2005, that this shall occur on 31 December of the second year following the year of the financial commitment concerned (the n+2 rule for automatic de-commitment) reflecting Article 31(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (3).
(2) In 2005 Bulgaria and especially Romania suffered under severe floods which further hampered the implementation of the instrument and which is likely to have repercussions on use of appropriations provided for the years 2004 and 2005.
(3) It is therefore justified to apply an ‘n+3’ automatic de-commitment rule for the years 2004 and 2005 to Bulgaria and Romania.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee of the European Agriculture and Guidance Fund (EAGGF),
Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 is replaced by the following:
