Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1766/92 provides that where quotations or prices on the world market for certain products reach the level of Community prices and such situation is likely to continue and deteriorate thereby disturbing or threatening to disturb the Community market, appropriate measures may be taken; whereas Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 95/96 (4), provides that where such conditions are met, an export tax may be fixed and may vary according to the destination;
Whereas prices on the world market for common wheat and durum wheat have reached the level of those in the Community and the trend in those prices is that they will increase; whereas this situation is likely to lead to an excessive export of common wheat, flour of common wheat and spelt and flour of meslin, groats and meal of common wheat and spelt, as well as durum wheat, flour of durum wheat and groats and meal of durum wheat from the Community; whereas it has therefore been decided to apply an export tax to these products at a level which will avoid disturbance to the Community market;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1549/93 of 14 June 1993 fixing, for the 1993/94 marketing year, certain sugar prices and the standard quality of beet
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 2 (3), 3 (4) and 4 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when sugar prices are fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural  community, to assure the availability of supplies and ensure that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas, in order to attain these objectives, the target price for sugar must be fixed at a level which, taking into account in particular the resultant level of the intervention price, ensures a fair remuneration for beet and sugar cane producers while  at the same time respecting consumers' interests, and which is likely to maintain the balance between the prices of the principal agricultural products;
Whereas, as a result of the characteristics of the sugar market, the risks involved in this trade are relatively slight; whereas, consequently, when the intervention price for sugar is being fixed, the difference between the target price and the  intervention price may be fixed at a relatively low level;
Whereas the basic price for beet must take account of the intervention price and of the costs of processing and delivering the beet to factories and be based on an estimated Community yield of 130 kilograms of white sugar per tonne of beet at 16 % sugar  content,
1. The target price for white sugar shall be ECU 55,79 per 100 kilograms.
2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be ECU 53,01 per 100 kilograms for the non-deficit areas of the Community.
The basic price for beet shall be ECU 40 per tonne delivered at the collection centre.
Standard quality beet shall:
(a) be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality;
(b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 of 23 May 1985 laying down special measures in respect of soya beans (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2217/88 (2), and in particular Article 2 (8) and the third sub-paragraph of Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2329/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2867/87 (4), provides that the world market price for soya beans is to be determined twice a month; whereas Article 11 of that Regulation lays down that the aid applying during the marketing year is to be fixed with the same frequency;
Whereas the situation on the world market is such that fixing the price twice a month is insufficient to take adequate account of the trend in prices; whereas provision should accordingly be made for more frequent fixing; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2329/85 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 2329/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The first subparagraph of Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'The world market price for soya beans shall be determined at least twice a month.'

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2) sets out the active substances deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(2) The approvals of the active substances clothianidin, dimoxystrobin, oxamyl and pethoxamid will expire between 31 July and 30 September 2016. Applications have been submitted for the renewal of the approval of these active substances. As the requirements laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (3) apply to those active substances, it is necessary to allow applicants sufficient time to complete the renewal procedure in accordance with that Regulation. Consequently, the approvals of those active substances are likely to expire before a decision has been taken on their renewal. It is therefore necessary to extend their approval periods.
(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) In view of the aim of the first paragraph of Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, as regards cases where no supplementary dossier in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 is submitted no later than 30 months before the respective expiry date laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, the Commission will set the expiry date at the same date as before this Regulation or at the earliest date thereafter.
