Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 19(2) thereof,
Whereas:

(2) Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 provides that the revised production estimate is to be established taking account of the progress of the harvest. On the basis of data available for the 2002/2003 marketing year, that revised estimate should be as set out below.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 provides that from 16 December following the start of the marketing year, the amount of the advance is to be determined based on the revised production estimate, plus at least 7,5 %.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 July 2005
amending Decision 2002/994/EC concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China
(notified under document number C(2005) 2764)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/573/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the detection of residues of veterinary medicines in certain products of animal origin imported from China, and the shortcomings identified during an inspection visit to that country as regards the regulation of veterinary medicines and the residue control system in live animals and animal products, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/69/EC (2).
(2) Corrective measures were subsequently implemented by Chinese authorities and additional information and supplementary guarantees were provided. Along with favourable results of the checks carried out by the Commission services and Member States, these measures allowed amendments of Decision 2002/69/EC and the subsequent adoption of several measures to authorise the importation of products of animal origin from China. These amendments were consolidated in Commission Decision 2002/994/EC of 20 December 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China (3), which has repealed Decision 2002/69/EC.
(3) Results of the checks carried out by Member States on the products authorised for import since the application of Decision 2004/621/EC are generally favourable. This allows consideration of the authorisation of imports from China of petfood. In view of the negligible risk for consumers, it is appropriate to amend the Decision accordingly.
(4) In order to improve legal clarity over the range of animal products which are prohibited for import from China, it is appropriate to clarify the text of Decision 2002/994/EC.
(5) Decision 2002/994/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,
Decision 2002/994/EC is amended as follows:
1. Articles 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
2. The Annex is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 26 July 2005.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 November 2001.
