COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 264/2005
of 16 February 2005
fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat applicable from 17 February 2005
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(3) Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (2) stipulates that no refund is granted if the products are not of sound and fair marketable quality on the date on which the export declaration is accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify for the refund, the poultrymeat listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 must bear the health mark as laid down in Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (3).
(4) The Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
However, in order to qualify for the refund, products falling within the scope of Chapter XII of the Annex to Directive 71/118/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions laid down in that Directive.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 February 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 28 January 2014
on the conclusion of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius
(2014/146/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43, in conjunction with point (a) of Article 218(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The Union negotiated with the Republic of Mauritius a Fisheries Partnership Agreement providing EU vessels with fishing opportunities in the waters over which the Republic of Mauritius exercises its sovereignty or jurisdiction.
(2) The Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius (‘the Fisheries Partnership Agreement’) was signed in accordance with Council Decision 2012/670/EU of 9 October 2012 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius (1).
(3) The Fisheries Partnership Agreement should be approved,
The Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Mauritius is hereby approved on behalf of the Union.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2067/2001
of 22 October 2001
fixing the olive yields and olive oil yields for the 2000/01 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/98(4), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that the olive yields and olive oil yields referred to in Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC are to be fixed by homogeneous production zone on the basis of the figures supplied by producer Member States. The production zones were designated in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2138/97(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1979/2001(6). Taking into account the figures received, the yields should be fixed as laid down in the Annex.
(2) Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 648/2001(8), lays down a method for estimating yields in homogenous zones that takes account of the overall statistical results obtained on the basis of samples at the level of larger regional areas. The statistical results for France, in view of its modest production levels, are obtained on the basis of a single regional area and a small sample that does not permit an accurate national figure to be obtained. Adjustment of the yields of the homogenous zones on the basis of the statistical results as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 produced clearly inconsistent values for the 2000/01 marketing year. The yields of the homogenous zones in France should therefore be fixed without making the adjustment concerned.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 2000/01 marketing year, the olive yields and oil yields shall be as set out in the Annex.
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 November 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,

(3) The United Kingdom has asked for an extension of that derogation.
(4) The situation justifying that derogation remains unchanged and the derogation should therefore continue to apply.
(5) Decision 2002/499/EC should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2002/499/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following text:

Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (3) of the said Regulation, the threshold prices for milled rice are calculated by adjusting the threshold price for husked rice, account being taken of the monthly increases to which it is subject, on the basis of the  conversion rates, processing costs and the value of by-products and by increasing the amounts thus obtained by an amount for the protection of the industry;
