Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the intervention prices for white and raw sugar have been fixed, with effect from 1 July 1977, without taking account of the levy provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/74 ; whereas the producer's effective market price at the ex-factory stage is one which necessarily takes into account the said levy which is payable at that stage ; whereas, therefore, the same rule should apply when sugar is put on sale by the intervention agency, which is also required to pay the said levy when such sugar is marketed;
whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 447/68 of 9 April 1968 laying down general rules for intervention buying of sugar (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2274/70 (4), should be amended accordingly,
In Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 447/68 the following paragraph 2a is hereby inserted:

amending Directive 94/39/EC as regards animal feedingstuffs for the support of liver function in case of chronic liver insufficiency

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/29/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Directive 94/39/EC(3), as amended by Directive 95/9/EC(4), the Commission has adopted a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes.
(2) Further scientific research has demonstrated that there is no necessity to lower or moderate the level of fat in feedingstuffs intended to support liver function in chronic liver insufficiency for cats and dogs. It has however shown that it would be beneficial to indicate on the label the need for water to be available to animals fed with such feeds at all times.
(3) Directive 94/39/EC should therefore be adapted accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Feedingstuffs,
The Annex to Directive 94/39/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 (2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2009/93 (3), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community;
Whereas the allocation of final quantities to Category A and Category B operators under the tariff quota during the second half of 1993 on the basis of reference data concerning the years 1989 to 1991 required an extension of the time limits to permit  an in-depth examination of the information supplied by the Member States in collaboration with the Commission in order to ensure that the rules were correctly applied; whereas an initial examination of the reference data for 1990 to 1992 indicates that  similar difficulties will be encountered in determining the quantities to be allocated to operators for 1994; whereas the date laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 for the notification of the quantities allocated to Category A and  Category B operators for 1994 should be put back from 1 to 22 November 1993;

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 1999/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 February 1999 relating to coffee extracts and chicory extracts(1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The analysis methods contained in Commission Directive 79/1066/EEC(2), which is based on Council Directive 77/436/EEC(3), are obsolete.

To that end, Member States must assure themselves that the methods used are validated as often as possible, in particular taking account of standardisation within the ISO.
(3) The importance of checks on the authenticity of coffee extracts as a means of combating fraud and adulteration has resulted in international standardisation work undertaken by the ISO. The Community is participating in this work, which has resulted in ISO standards for soluble coffee.
(4) As a result it is not necessary, within the meaning of Council Directive 85/591/EEC of 20 December 1985 concerning the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human consumption(6), to maintain official Community analysis methods for coffee extracts and chicory extracts. For that reason Directive 79/1066/EEC should be repealed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 4 of Directive 1999/4/EC.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Directive 79/1066/EEC is repealed.
Member States must take the necessary measures to comply with this Directive by 1 February 2001 at the latest.

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
