COUNCIL DECISION  of 3 March 1992  extending the period of application of Decision 82/530/EEC authorizing the United Kingdom to permit the Isle of Man authorities to apply a system of special import licences to sheepmeat and beef and veal   (92/153/EEC)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 1 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community rules concerning trade with non-member countries in agricultural products subject to a common organization of the market apply to the Isle of Man in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession and with  Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (1);
Whereas livestock production is a traditional activity in the Isle of Man and plays a central part in the island's agriculture;
Whereas, before the introduction of the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the Community, the Isle of Man, as part of its local market organization, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of sheepmeat into the  island in order to ensure that the need to supply the requirements of trade could be met whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheepmeat production and, indirectly, in cattle production on the island and in its own agricultural support system;
Whereas, in the context of the trade arrangements with certain non-member countries pursuant to the common organization of the market which apply to the Isle of Man, subject to the Community provisions which govem the relationship between the island and  the Community, it is desirable to permit the island authorities to apply certain measures in order to protect the island's own production and the operation of its own agricultural support system;
Whereas, by Decision 82/530/EEC (2), the United Kingdom was authorized to permit the Isle of Man government to apply a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and beef and veal originating in non-member countries and in Member States of the  Community, without prejudice to the measures concerning trade with non-member countries provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (3) and Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 (4), for a period of nine years and three months ending on 31 March 1992;
Whereas, in the light of experience gained during the application of the system in question, it is desirable to extend the system for a further period with the possibility of further reviewing the situation before the end of that period;
Whereas Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC should therefore be amended,
Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 31 December 1995.
Before 1 July 1995, the Commission shall present to the Council a report on the application of the system, together with any proposals for the retention of, or amendment to, this Decision.'
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/415/EC of 14 June 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in poultry in the Community and repealing Decision 2006/135/EC (3) lays down certain protection measures to prevent the spread of the avian influenza into the disease-free parts of the Community through the movement of birds as well as products thereof.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2326/2003
of 19 December 2003
fixing for the fishing year 2004 the guide prices and Community producer prices for certain fishery products pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 18(3) and Article 26(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18(1) and Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 provide that a guide price and a Community producer price should be fixed for each fishing year in order to determine price levels for intervention on the market for certain fisheries products.
(2) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the guide price to be fixed for each of the products and groups of products listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation.
(3) On the basis of the data currently available on the prices for the products concerned and the criteria referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the guide prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the fishing year 2004 depending on the species.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires the Community producer price to be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex III to that Regulation. It is, however, sufficient to establish the Community producer price for only one of the products listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, since the prices for the other products may be calculated by means of the conversion factors established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3510/82(2).
(5) On the basis of the criteria laid down in the first and second indent of Article 18(2) and in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the Community producer price for the 2004 fishing year should be increased.
(6) Given the urgency of the matter, it is important to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph 1(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam,
For the fishing year 1 January to 31 December 2004, the guide prices as provided for in Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in the Annex I to this Regulation.
For the fishing year 1 January to 31 December 2004, the Community producer prices as provided for in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be as set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2373/2000
of 26 October 2000
fixing the aid amounts for fibre flax and hemp for the 2000/2001 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 of 27 July 2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre(1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 stipulates that the amounts of aid applicable to the 2000/2001 marketing year for flax and hemp grown in the Community are determined by applying to the amounts in force for the 1999/2000 marketing year a coefficient equal to the ratio between the average expenditure per hectare corresponding to EUR 88 million for all areas resulting from crop declarations, and the average expenditure of EUR 721 per hectare estimated for the 1999/2000 marketing year.
(2) According to the first subparagraph of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000, the amounts of aid for flax and hemp produced in the Community for the 2000/2001 marketing year must be fixed not later than 31 October 2000. To that end Member States have notified the Commission of the land under fibre flax and hemp for which a crop declaration has been submitted for that marketing year in accordance with Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 of 28 April 1989 laying down detailed rules concerning the aid for fibre flax and hemp(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1313/2000(3). The notifications indicate that the declarations cover 125136 hectares of Community land under fibre flax and hemp.
(3) If Member States are to approve aid for that land all the rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89, including those relating to controls, must be complied with. However, fixing the aid amount from the crop declaration information communicated by the Member States does not prejudge the conclusions which may be drawn as a result of verification of the correctness of the information under the clearance of accounts procedure.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
For the 2000/2001 marketing year the amounts of aid referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 shall be:
(a) EUR 795,46/ha for flax;
(b) EUR 646,31/ha for hemp.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
