COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1851/2005
of 11 November 2005
setting the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2005/06
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient expresses the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) On the basis of the information supplied by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 2004, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2004 was five years. The coefficients for the period 1 October 2005 to 30 September 2006 should therefore be set accordingly.
(3) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area precludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements with certain third countries abolishing export refunds. In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, this should be taken into account in the calculation of the coefficients for the period 2005/06,
For the period 1 October 2005 to 30 September 2006, the coefficients referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applicable to cereals used in Ireland in the production of Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 as regards conformity checks at the stage of import applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables

Whereas:
(1) Articles 6 and 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 of 12 June 2001 on checks on conformity to the marketing standards applicable to fresh fruit and vegetables(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2379/2001(4), lay down provisions applicable at the point of import, in particular the possibility for the Commission to approve checking operations performed in third countries at the point of export, and general provisions on imports that have not been checked in third countries at the point of export.
(2) Since for the moment the Commission has approved checking operations in only one third country, the scope of Article 6(4) of that Regulation should be extended temporarily to cover all lots, irrespective of weight, with a low risk of non-conformity. Since a number of requests from other third countries are under examination at present and may be approved during the first half of 2002, that extension should be limited to 30 June 2002.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
Until 30 June 2002, the competent inspection bodies at the point of import may apply Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 to any lot for which they consider the risk of non-conformity to be low.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2964/88 (2), and in particular Articles 18 (4) and 81 thereof,
Whereas under Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 Member States may permit an increase in the actual or potential alcoholic strength only within certain limits;
Whereas, because of the exceptionally bad weather in 1988 in parts of wine-growing zone A with abnormally high rainfall and a lack of sunshine, the limits upon increase in the natural alcoholic strength as fixed by Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 in many cases prevent production of the wines which are normally required by the market; whereas, therefore, the Member State concerned should be authorized to permit in the areas affected an additional increase in the natural alcoholic strength as provided for in Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas provision should be made for the Member State to communicate to the Commission certain information, in particular pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1594/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 418/86 (4);

(a) intended for the production of table wines and
(b) of the recommended and authorized vine varieties specified in the Annex.

Such communications shall give estimates of the quantities of sugar, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must used to make an additional increase in the alcoholic strength as provided for in Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87.
