Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22 (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/693/EC of 6 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to avian influenza in Russia (3) was adopted following outbreaks of avian influenza in Russia. That Decision suspends the importation of birds, other than poultry, from Russia and of unprocessed feathers and unprocessed parts of feathers from those regions of Russia listed in Annex I to that Decision.
(3) Outbreaks of avian influenza continue to occur in certain parts of Russia and it is therefore necessary to prolong the measures provided for in Decision 2005/693/EC. The Decision can however be reviewed before this date depending on information supplied by the competent veterinary authorities of Russia.
(4) The outbreaks in the European part of Russia have all occurred in the central area and no outbreaks have occurred in the northern regions. It is therefore no longer necessary to continue the suspension of imports of unprocessed feathers and parts of feathers from the latter.
(5) Decision 2005/693/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,

1. in Article 3 ‘31 December 2005’ is replaced by ‘31 March 2006’.

Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1796/2000
of 22 August 2000
derogating, with regard to set-aside in Sweden, from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1672/2000(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1454/2000(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the conditions governing area payments for certain arable crops. Article 19(2) and (3) lays down that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest and must not, except where otherwise provided for, be used for agricultural production or for any lucrative purpose.
(2) Weather conditions over the past 12 months have been characterised by drought in certain regions of the Union, during autumn and winter in particular, and by excessive rainfall in other regions of the Union, during spring and summer in particular. This situation has already led the Commission to lay down a number of derogations in favour of Spain, Germany and Austria in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1332/2000(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1595/2000(6).
(3) In Sweden, too, excessive rainfall has flooded pastureland which can no longer be used to feed livestock. It is therefore desirable to find additional local feed alternatives for the month of August to feed livestock until the autumn.
(4) The situation described above justifies derogations from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 by authorising the use of set-aside land for arable crops to feed livestock before the end of the set-aside period (on 31 August at the earliest), while providing for measures to ensure that use of the land concerned is not lucrative.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. For the 2000/01 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside in the regions of Sweden laid down in the Annex hereto may be used for producing animal feed.
2. Sweden shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the set-aside land is not used for lucrative purposes and, in particular, that the products harvested from the areas concerned are excluded from the aid scheme for dried fodder laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(7).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 10 August 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (3), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 establishes new agrimonetary arrangements as a result of the introduction of the euro; whereas the resulting application of certain operative events adopted by Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 of 30 June 1993 establishing special detailed rules for applying the agricultural conversion rate in the sugar sector (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 59/97 (5), has become unnecessarily complex because of the daily amendment of the exchange rates of non-participating Member States; whereas the application of the operative events should be simplified to permit the efficient administration of the system and compliance with the criteria set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2799/98;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 is amended as follows:
1. Point V is replaced by the following:
>TABLE>
2. Point VIII is replaced by the following:
