COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1232/89 of 3 May 1989 fixing the guide price for soya beans for the 1989/90 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 of 23 May 1985 laying down special measures for soya beans (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2217/88 (2), and in particular Article 1 (1) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the guide price for soya beans is fixed on an annual basis, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community desires to make to the harmonious development of world  trade; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community and to ensure that supplies are available and reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 provides more specifically that this price shall be fixed at a fair level for producers, having regard to the supply requirements of the Community; whereas, to this end, a  balanced relationship should be maintained between this price and the price of other oil seeds;
Whereas, in accordance with those criteria, the guide price should be set at the levels indicated below;
Whereas the guide price must be set for a standard quality to be determined by reference to the average quality of beans
harvested in the Community; whereas the quality laid down for the 1988/89 marketing year meets this requirement and can accordingly be used for the next marketing year;
Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession, prices in Spain were set at levels differing from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, the Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices each  year at the beginning of the marketing year; whereas the rules laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the guide price for soya beans shall be:
(a)  ECU 45,99 per 100 kilograms for Spain;
(b)  ECU 55,85 per 100 kilograms for the other Member States.
The price referred to in Article 1 shall relate to beans:
- in bulk, of sound, genuine, and merchantable quality,

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 September 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Implementing Decision 2014/237/EU on measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of harmful organisms as regards certain fruits and vegetables originating in India

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Whereas:
(1) In light of shortcomings identified by audits carried out by the Commission in India in 2010 and 2013, and the high number of interceptions of harmful organisms on certain plants and plant products of Indian origin at that time, the import of five commodities, which were most frequently intercepted because of the presence of harmful organisms, including plants other than seeds of Mangifera L., was prohibited by Commission Implementing Decision 2014/237/EU (2).
(2) The audit carried out by the Commission in India from 2 to 12 September 2014 showed significant improvements in the phytosanitary export certification system of that country.
(3) Furthermore, India has provided assurances that appropriate technical measures are available to ensure that the export of plants of Mangifera L. other than seeds originating in India is free from harmful organisms.
(4) In this context it has been concluded that the risk of introduction of harmful organisms into the Union through the import of plants of Mangifera L. other than seeds can be reduced to an acceptable level if those appropriate measures are taken.
(5) Therefore Implementing Decision 2014/237/EU should be amended accordingly to allow the introduction into the Union territory of plants of Mangifera L. other than seeds from India.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Implementing Decision 2014/237/EU is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. The following Article 1a is inserted:

In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 627/2005
of 22 April 2005
revoking Regulation (EC) No 206/2005 imposing definitive safeguard measures against imports of farmed salmon
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22 December 1994 on common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EC) No 518/94 (1), and in particular Article 21(2)(b), thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (2), and in particular Article 18(2)(b), thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 6 March 2004, the Commission initiated a safeguard investigation on imports of farmed salmon into the Community. On 4 February 2005, the Commission imposed definitive safeguard measures by Commission Regulation (EC) No 206/2005 (3).
(2) On 23 October 2004, the Commission initiated an anti-dumping investigation on imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway. On 22 April 2005, the Commission adopted provisional anti-dumping measures by Commission Regulation (EC) No 628/2005 (4).
(3) The imposition of definitive safeguard measures on imports of farmed salmon of all origins followed an investigation covering the period 2000 to 2003. Having reached a provisional determination that, in the period from 1 October 2003 to 30 September 2004, imports from Norway have continued to increase and that there is injurious dumping, the Commission adopted provisional anti-dumping measures against imports of farmed salmon from Norway.
(4) Imports of farmed salmon from Norway in the year ending 30 September 2004 represent around 60 % of the Community market and around 75 % of overall imports into the Community. In Regulation (EC) No 206/2005, the Commission had found that the considerable increase in imports had a devastating effect on the profitability of the Community producers, given the accompanying price drop. The provisional anti-dumping measures in relation to imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway would eliminate the unfair price element in these imports. It can also be expected that they will slow down the quantitative import increase originating in Norway, the largest source of imports into the Community. Therefore, in the particular circumstances of this case, it is considered that anti-dumping measures are sufficient to address the injury which the community industry is suffering, and it is no longer necessary to maintain the safeguard measures, which should therefore be repealed at the same time as the anti-dumping measures enter into force,
Regulation (EC) No 206/2005 is hereby revoked.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 April 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
