Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 provides that beyond a maximum tolerance to be fixed, the value of quantity losses is to be borne by the intervention agencies; whereas the quantity losses relate both to quantities entering storage during the financial year in question and to those in storage at the beginning of that financial year;
Whereas the tolerance must be calculated on the basis of the normal preservation of ethyl alcohol of vinous origin; whereas that tolerance should accordingly be the strictest possible and it should be identical throughout the Community;
Whereas, to determine the tolerance required, the simplest way is to express it as a percentage of the quantity of alcohol in storage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The tolerance provided for in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 for ethyl alcohol of vinous origin shall be 7,5  of quantities in storage at the end of the financial year.

Whereas, as a result, a deadline of 27 July 1997 for the conclusion of the contract should be set for the marketing year 1996/1997 in the case of Germany; whereas the delay in the conclusion of the contract will not necessitate a prolongation in the period for the accomplishment of the measures beyond the date that would otherwise have been applicable;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The second subparagraph to Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3582/93 is replaced by the following text:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1440/2002
of 7 August 2002
revising the maximum amount for the B production levy and amending the minimum price for B beet in the sugar sector for the 2002/03 marketing year
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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second and third indents of Article 15(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 15(3) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provide that the losses resulting from the obligation to export surpluses of Community sugar are to be covered by production levies on the production of A and B sugar, of A and B isoglucose and of inulin syrup A and B within certain limits.
(2) Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that, where the receipts expected from the basic production levy and the B levy, which must not exceed 2 % and 30 % respectively of the intervention price for white sugar for that marketing year, may well fail to cover the foreseeable total loss for the current marketing year, the maximum percentage of the B levy is to be adjusted to the extent necessary to cover the said total loss but without exceeding 37,5 %.
(3) The foreseeable receipts, before adjustment, of the levies to be collected in respect of the 2002/03 marketing year are likely to be below the equivalent of the average loss multiplied by the exportable surplus. Therefore, in the light of the data at present available, the maximum amount of the B levy for 2002/03 should be raised to 37,5 % of the intervention price for the white sugar concerned.
(4) Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that, subject to Article 15(5) of that Regulation, the minimum price for B beet is fixed at EUR 32,42 per tonne. Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the revised maximum percentage for the B levy should be fixed for the current marketing year before 15 September of the marketing year, together with the corresponding adjustment of the minimum price for B beet set for the 2002/03 marketing year by Article 4(1)(b) of that Regulation.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
For the 2002/03 marketing year, the maximum amount of the B levy referred to in the first indent of Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall be increased to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar.
For the 2002/03 marketing year, the minimum price for B beet referred to in Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 shall be fixed, in accordance with Article 15(5) of that Regulation, at EUR 28,84 per tonne.
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.

COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE
of 18 December 1984
extending Directive 81/363/EEC on aid to shipbuilding
(85/2/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 92 (3) (d) and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Council Directive 81/363/EEC of 28 April 1981 on aid to shipbuilding (4), as amended by Directive 82/880/EEC (5), will expire on 31 December 1984;
Whereas the system of control of aid, both direct and indirect, set up by Directive 81/363/EEC has helped to reduce distortions of competition between the Member States; whereas that Directive has also enabled the Community to adopt a common position in talks with non-member shipbuilding nations;
Whereas, however, the restructuring measures for shipyards which have been operated by the Member States since 1979 in line with the objectives laid down in the Council resolution of 19 September 1978 on the re-organization of the shipbuilding industry (6) and Directives 78/338/EEC (7) and 81/363/EEC on aid to shipbuilding have, owing to the considerable delay in implementing them and the worsening of the industry's difficulties, the severity of which exceeded expectations, so far proved inadequate to achieve the objectives sought by the system of control of aid set up by the above Directives namely the restoration of the industry's competitiveness and withdrawal of aid;
Whereas it is advisable for the Community's shipbuilding industry to have a further two years in which to complete its restructuring so as to adjust to market conditions and raise its productivity by shedding the cost of maintaining the present overcapacity and by rationalizing its yards; whereas it will hence be appropriate to apply from 1 January 1987 a new Council Directive on aid to shipbuilding;
Whereas the system of control of aid to shipbuilding instituted by Directive 81/363/EEC should therefore be continued until 31 December 1986 in order to assist the industry's restructuring and return to viability,
In Article 11 of Directive 81/363/EEC, '31 December 1984' is hereby replaced by '31 December 1986'.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
