THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco(1), and in particular Article 14a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2182/2002 of 6 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 with regard to the Community Tobacco Fund(2) specifies, in Article 17(3) and (4), the deadline for notifying to the Commission the projected financing plans for measures for which assistance has been requested and the deadline for the definitive allocation, among Member States, of resources from the Fund.
(2) To allow Member States sufficient time to draw up their projected financing plans for 2004 for measures to promote a switch of production, the deadline for 2004 for notification of the plans to the Commission and, consequently, that for the definitive allocation of resources among Member States, should be postponed on the same terms as in 2003.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
The following paragraph is added to Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 2182/2002:"By way of derogation from Article 17(3), the 31 March 2004 deadline for the notification of projected plans for the financing of measures for which assistance has been requested under the buy-back programme for the 2003 harvest shall be postponed to 31 May 2004 and, consequently, by way of derogation from Article 17(4), the 31 May 2004 deadline shall be postponed to 30 June 2004."

Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2001
of 5 January 2001
laying down certain measures derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 on private storage aid in the beef sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 48(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 of 21 November 2000 laying down special provisions for the granting of private storage aid for cows(2) provides for contract applications to be introduced from 27 November 2000. These applications must be accompanied by a security referred to in Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 907/2000(3). Article 7(2) of the same Regulation defines the primary requirements for the said security. In accordance herewith, an operator cannot withdraw a contract application and must place and keep in storage at least 90 % of the contractual quantity.
(2) Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2777/2000 of 18 December 2000 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market(4) provides that meat from animals aged more than 30 months and slaughtered in the Community after 1 January 2001 can only be released for human consumption if tested negatively for BSE. These tests can only be carried out at the time of slaughter. The Council had on 4 December 2000 announced the intentions of the Commission to adopt the abovementioned measure and the information was subsequently widely spread. Operators who had applied for private storage contracts before that date could not know that the market conditions for release of beef for human consumption would change fundamentally before they were allowed to take the products out of private storage. Consequently, it is appropriate to provide that contracts applied for before 5 December 2000 may be cancelled without loss of the security and at the same time to release any stored quantities under the contracts.
(3) Operators should be allowed to make use of this Regulation as quickly as possible.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Contracts concluded under Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 on the basis of applications lodged before 5 December 2000 may be cancelled at the request of the contracting party.
By way of derogation from Article 7(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 907/2000, the securities and stored quantities related to the cancelled contracts shall be released immediately.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable from 5 December 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Thursday is not a determining day for adjustment of the refund level in the sugar sector and since this level is adjusted more frequently than in the milk sector, it should again be made possible to fix the refund on the sugar component of the products in question in advance on a Thursday;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81:
