COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1039/2005
of 21 June 2005
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 as regards the marking of eggs
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) From 1 July 2005, eggs sold on a local public market must be stamped with a code designating the producer’s distinguishing number and permitting the farming method to be identified in accordance with Article 7(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing standards for eggs (2). In some Member States, this requirement could create difficulties for small, low-income holdings, where egg production is often only a sideline. As the possibility of selling these table eggs on local public markets is of great economic and social importance for such holdings, Member States should be permitted to exempt them from the compulsory marking requirement. A derogation should therefore be laid down to this end for holdings with up to 50 laying hens.
(2) Given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The last subparagraph of Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘However, eggs sold by the producer on a local public market shall carry the code defined in Article 7(1)(a). Member States may exempt producers of eggs whose holding does not exceed 50 laying hens from this requirement, provided that those eggs are sold on a local public market in the region of production of the Member State concerned and that the name and address of the holding are indicated at the place of sale.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1152/90 of 27 April 1990 instituting a system of aid in favour of small cotton producers (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/92 (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2227/92 (4), provides that the Member States must pay the aid to small cotton producers not later than 31 October following the end of the marketing  year; whereas, in view of difficulties encountered, it is not possible to pay the aid for the 1992/93 marketing year within the time limit laid down; whereas, as an exceptional measure for that year, the time limit provided for in Article 10 of  Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90 should be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
The second paragraph of Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90 is hereby replaced by the following paragraph:
'However, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the Member States shall be authorized to pay the amount not later than 30 November 1993'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2635/97 (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 47/98 of 20 December 1997 allocating, for 1998, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (3), provides for Greenland halibut quotas for 1998;
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 Greenland halibut in the waters of ICES divisions I, IIa, b (Norwegian waters north of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in a Member State have reached the quota allocated for 1998,

Whereas, pursuant to the intention announced by the Community within the framework of the multilateral negotiations within GATT to enable the least developed countries (LLDC) to qualify for a special measure in this sector, they should be granted a minimum guarantee of access to the existing quota arrangements;

The third subparagraph of Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 716/96 shall be replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down a list of third countries and territories from which movement of pet animals to the Community may be authorised, provided that certain requirements are met.
(2) A provisional list of third countries was established by Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 592/2004 (2). That list includes countries and territories which are free of rabies and countries in respect of which the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements from their territories has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States.
(3) From information supplied by Argentina it appears that the risk of rabies entering the Community as a result of movements of pet animals from Argentina has been found to be no higher than the risk associated with movements between Member States or from third countries already listed in Regulation (EC) No 998/2003. Therefore Argentina should be included in the list of countries and territories set out in Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.
(4) In the interest of clarity that list of countries and territories should be replaced in its entirety.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
