THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular Article 145(c) and Article 155 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 (2) lays down transitional measures for establishing the list of selected varieties which are eligible for the special quality premium for durum wheat in respect of 2005.

1. the following paragraph is added to Article 10:

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(2) shall apply from 1 January 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
