COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 409/76  of 23 February 1976  establishing Community methods for the determination of the moisture content of raw tobacco
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 3 (3) and Article 7 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70 of 25 August 1970 on intervention procedure for raw tobacco (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 408/76 (4), fixes the moisture content to be taken into consideration for determining the net weight of leaf tobacco and of baled tobacco;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 of 25 August 1970 on the procedure for granting the premium for leaf tobacco (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 408/76, refers to the same moisture content as a basis for determining the net weight of tobacco in respect of which a premium has been applied for;
Whereas, in order to ensure the uniform application of the rules relating to the common organization of the market in tobacco, Article 1a (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 provides that the Commission shall establish one or more Community methods for the determination of the moisture content of raw tobacco;
Whereas two such methods which have so far been the subject of scientific studies at Community level have very similar qualities and provide valid results which are comparable ; whereas these two methods should therefore be adopted, without prejudice to the future adoption of other methods which are the subject of similar studies and which give comparable results;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Raw Tobacco,
1. Determination of the moisture content of tobacco for the purpose of calculating the net weight as referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 and in Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70 and which is fixed in Annex IV to the latter Regulation shall be carried out in accordance with one or other of the two methods now accepted and described in Annex I to this Regulation.
2. The method to be used for taking samples for use in one or other of the two said methods shall be that described in Annex II hereto.
This Regulation shall apply with effect from the 1976 harvest.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 739/2007
of 28 June 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 44 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the marketing year for products in the sugar sector is the period from 1 October to 30 September. However, the marketing year 2006/2007 begins on 1 July 2006 and ends on 30 September 2007. Consequently, unlike a normal marketing year, it extends over 15 months rather than 12 months.
(2) In view of the length of the marketing year 2006/2007, Article 9(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 (2) provides for a transitional isoglucose quota so as to ensure an allocation which corresponds to that of the preceding marketing year.
(3) A number of Member States allocate sugar quotas to undertakings specialising in the production of sugar by extraction from molasses. As in the case of isoglucose, this involves consistent levels of production throughout a given marketing year. However, in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the quantity allocated for the marketing year 2006/2007 is equal to the quantity allocated for the marketing year 2005/2006. In the interests of fairness to the isoglucose producers, these undertakings, too, should be allocated a transitional quota taking into account the length of the marketing year 2006/2007.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following paragraph 3a is inserted:
2. in paragraph 4, the introductory words are replaced by the following:
3. paragraph 6 is replaced by the following paragraphs 6 and 7:
(a) before 15 July 2006, a breakdown by undertaking of the transitional quotas allocated under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3;
(b) before 30 June 2007, a breakdown by undertaking of the transitional quotas allocated under paragraph 3a.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
