THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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), as last amended by Directive 96/43/EC (2), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Whereas epidemiological findings in Hong Kong have shown a likely connection, with regard to the infection with the influenza A H5N1 virus, between poultry and men;
Whereas the geographical origin of the virus seems to be uncertain as well as the way of its transmission from live birds to the human population or its spreading among the human population;
Whereas it is necessary to take the necessary precautions for preventing the introduction of the influenza A H5N1 virus into the Community through live birds;
Whereas imports of live poultry from Hong Kong and China are not allowed by Community legislation;
Whereas other birds can be imported pursuant to the conditions laid down in Article 7(A) of Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 95/176/EC (4);
Whereas these measures are considered not to be sufficient to prevent influenza A viruses via trade in birds entering quarantine stations situated on the territory of the Community;
Whereas therefore birds other than those referred to in Council Directive 90/539/EEC on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of poultry and hatching eggs (5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, originating in or coming from Hong Kong and China must not be introduced into the Community;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The introduction into the territory of the Community of live birds other than those referred to in Directive 90/539/EEC, coming from or originating in Hong Kong and China is suspended.
This Decision will be reviewed before 31 March 1998.
Member States shall alter the measures they apply to trade in order to bring them into line with this Decision. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 1998 setting up a network for the epidemiological surveillance and control of communicable diseases in the Community (1), and in particular Article 3(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) According to point 2.1 of Annex I to Commission Decision 2000/96/EC of 22 December 1999 on the communicable diseases to be progressively covered by the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), ‘diseases preventable by vaccination’, including ‘influenza’, are covered by epidemiological surveillance in the Community network pursuant to Decision No 2119/98/EC.
(2) According to Article 2 of Commission Decision 2002/253/EC of 19 March 2002 laying down case definitions for reporting communicable diseases to the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the case definitions laid down in Annex to that Decision should be updated to the extent necessary on the basis of the latest scientific data.
(3) Several cases of a novel influenza virus have been reported in North America and more recently in several Member States. This virus is one of the multiple forms that can take the disease ‘influenza’, listed in Annex I to Decision 2000/96/EC. However, given that this new virus poses a risk of a pandemic influenza and requires an immediate coordination between the Community and the national competent authorities, it is necessary to provide for a specific case definition differentiating it from the more general case definition of influenza, that will enable the national competent authorities to communicate relevant information to the Community network pursuant to Article 4 of Decision No 2119/98/EC.

(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 7 of Decision No 2119/98/EC,
The Annex to Decision 2002/253/EC is completed by the additional case definition contained in the Annex to the present Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down the national and regional quotas for the production of sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup. For the 2008/09 marketing year those quotas should be adjusted.
(2) The adjustments result from the allocation of additional and supplementary isoglucose quotas.
(3) The possible supplementary isoglucose quotas which might be allocated at a later date for the 2008/09 marketing year upon requests by undertakings approved in Italy, Lithuania, and Sweden will be taken into account in the next adjustment of the quotas laid down in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 before the end of February 2009.
(4) The adjustments also result from the application of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), which provides for restructuring aid for undertakings which renounce their quotas and from the application of Article 4a(4) of that Regulation which provides for a definitive reduction of quotas allocated to undertakings in case of growers' applications for restructuring aid. It is therefore necessary to take account of the quotas renounced or reduced as a result of grower's applications for the 2008/09 marketing year under the restructuring scheme.
(5) Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Where a Member State decides to apply the first subparagraph of Article 25 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 in respect of the 1986/87 marketing year, it shall allocate the adjusted quotas, by way of derogation from Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 193/82, before 1 July 1986.
