COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2866/90
of 4 October 1990
fixing for the period 1990/91 certain coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1340/90 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control weighted by a coefficient, fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio for the spirituous beverage in question between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed; whereas, further to information provided by Ireland concerning the period 1 January to 31 December 1989, the coefficients for the period 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable trends for exports of spirituous beverages show a tendency to change significantly in one of the Member States concerned; whereas such an assessment may be made by taking account of a reference period of sufficient length to eliminate insignificant short-term fluctuations; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question seems to comply with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the coefficients should be adapted accordingly, to take account of a tendency for Irish exports to increase;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991, the coefficients referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in Ireland for the manufacture of Irish whiskey shall be as shown in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2520/98 of 24 November 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 544/97 as regards certificates of origin for garlic imported from Malaysia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2520/97 (2), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 of 12 July 1993 on the application of the system of import licences for garlic imported from third countries (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (4), makes the release of all garlic for free circulation in the Community subject to the presentation of import licences;
Whereas, in order to step up controls and to prevent any risk of deflection of trade resulting from inaccurate documents, Commission Regulation (EC) No 544/97 (5) makes imports of garlic originating in certain third countries subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin issued by the competent national authorities in accordance with Articles 56 to 62 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Common Customs Code (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1677/98 (7), and requires imports of garlic originating in such third countries to be transported directly to the Community;
Whereas the Malaysian authorities have confirmed that no garlic is produced in Malaysia; whereas, however, import licence applications covering garlic declared as originating in Malaysia have been submitted under Regulation (EC) No 1859/93; whereas the number of such applications is rising; whereas Regulation (EC) No 544/97 should be applied to Malaysia forthwith in order to prevent any fraud;
Whereas there is a clear risk of fraud arising from the fact that no garlic is produced in Malaysia; whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 544/97 should therefore not apply in the case in point;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Malaysia is added to the list of the third countries appearing in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 544/97.
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 544/97 shall not apply to products declared as originating in Malaysia and in the process of shipment to the Community.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Notwithstanding the second paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 544/97, it shall apply as from its entry into force.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 1319/90
of 14 May  1990

THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1)  thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 1491/85 of 23 May 1985 laying down special measures  for soya beans (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 2217/88 (2), and in particular Article 1  (1) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the guide price for soya beans is fixed on an annual basis, account should be taken  of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community  desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common  agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural  community and to ensure that supplies are available and reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1491/85 provides more  specifically that this price shall be fixed at a fair level for producers, having regard to the  supply requirements of the Community; whereas, to this end, a balanced relationship should be  maintained between this price and the price of other oil seeds;
Whereas, in accordance with those criteria, the guide price should be set at the levels indicated  below;
Whereas the guide price must be set for a standard quality to be determined by reference to the  average quality of beans
harvested in the Community; whereas the quality laid down
for the 1989/90  marketing year meets this requirement and can accordingly be used for the next marketing year;
Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession, prices in Spain were set at a levels differing  from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, the  Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices each at the beginning of the marketing year;  whereas the rules laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below,
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the guide  price for soya beans shall be:
(a)  ECU 47,63 per 100 kilograms for Spain;
(b)  ECU 55,85 per 100 kilograms for the other Member States.
The price referred to in  Article 1 shall relate to beans:
- in bulk, of sound, genuine, and merchantable quality,
and
- with an impurity content of 2 % and, for beans as such, humidity and oil contents of 14 and  18 % respectively.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following  that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
