Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 180 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Within the context of the agreements made under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (2), the Union has committed to allowing Spain to import the amount of 300 tonnes of sorghum per year.
(2) Between 1 January 2014 and 15 July 2014, the period during which the import duty for sorghum was set at EUR 0 per tonne, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (3), 41 580 tonnes of sorghum were imported into Spain. Since 16 July 2014, and following the reintroduction of an import duty of more than zero for sorghum in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, no sorghum has been imported into Spain.
(3) In accordance with Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1296/2008 (4), a reduction may be applied to the import duty fixed in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 in order to ensure that import quotas are fully used.
(4) Bearing in mind the conditions of the sorghum market, particularly the fact that the price of sorghum on the global market is significantly higher than that of maize, it is necessary to apply a flat-rate reduction of 100 % of the import duty fixed in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 642/2010.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1.   As regards the available balance of the quantities of sorghum to be imported into Spain under the tariff quota opened on 1 January 2014, the flat-rate reduction of the import duty for sorghum referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1296/2008 is established at 100 % of the import duty for sorghum fixed in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 642/2010.
2.   The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1296/2008 shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It is due to expire on 31 December 2014.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultry meat(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/89/EC(2), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 94/85/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/733/EC(4), established a list of third countries from which importation of fresh poultry meat is authorised.
(2) Commission Decision 2000/609/EC(5), as last amended by 2000/782/EC(6), establishes animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of farmed ratite meat.
(3) An inspection carried out by the Commission in Botswana in May 2001 has shown that sufficiently well structured and organised veterinary services are in place in Botswana regarding the animal health status for ratites. However, the legislation in Botswana did not fully include the requirement for official notification of avian influenza.
(4) Botswana has now amended its legislation to ensure that avian influenza is to be notified to the competent authority.
(5) Commission Decision 94/85/EC should therefore be amended to include Botswana in the list in the Annex thereto. For the sake of clarity the Annex should be replaced in its entirety.
(6) The Annex to Decision 94/85/EC must clearly state that Botswana is authorised for ratite meat only.
(7) Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC should also be amended to include Botswana in the list of authorised countries that are allowed to export farmed ratite meat into the European Union. For the sake of clarity the Annex should be replaced in its entirety.
(8) Due to the health status of Botswana in regard to Newcastle disease, Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC should clearly specify that Model Certificate "B" must be used for imports of farmed ratite meat from Botswana.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 94/85/EC is replaced by Annex I to this Decision.
Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC is replaced by Annex II to this Decision.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1943/91 (2), and in particular Article 8 (7)  thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 of 7 May 1990 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2202/90 (4), and in particular Article 6 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 6 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 626/85 of 12 March 1985 on the purchasing, selling and storage of unprocessed dried grapes and figs by storage agencies (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3601/90 (6), stipulates that such  products, intended for specific uses yet to be determined, must be sold at prices fixed in advance or determined by an invitation to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85 (7) provides for the sale by invitation to tender of unprocessed dried grapes for specific uses;
Whereas the Greek storage agencies still hold approximately 20 500 tonnes of unprocessed dried grapes (sultanas) from the 1989 harvest; whereas these currants cannot be marketed for human consumption as such without a risk of disrupting the market;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate that the greater quantity be the subject of a standing invitation to tender for their use as laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85;

2. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be: 5 August 1991 at 1 p.m. local time.
3. The processing security referred to in Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3205/85 shall be ECU 45/100 kg net for dried grapes (sultanas).

Whereas, in the case of Portugal, the Commission, on the basis of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, adopted Decision 96/159/Euratom, EC (2) authorizing Portugal to use statistics for years earlier than the last year but one for the 1992 and 1993 financial years;
Whereas, for the purposes of the breakdown by rate provided for in Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Portugal is still unable to use the national accounts relating to the last year but one before the financial year for which the VAT resources base is to be calculated since only the national accounts relating to 1990, 1992 and 1993 are sufficiently detailed to allow calculation of the weighted average rate; whereas Portugal should therefore be authorized to use the national accounts relating to 1990, 1992 and 1993 to calculate the weighted average rate for the 1994, 1995 and 1996 financial years respectively;
Whereas the Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the purposes of the breakdown by rate referred to in Article 4 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Portugal is hereby authorized to use figures obtained from the national accounts relating to 1990, 1992 and 1993 for the 1994, 1995 and 1996 financial years respectively for which the VAT resources base has to be calculated.

That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.

To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 16,508 EUR/100 kg.
