COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3043/91  of 17 October 1991  amending Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 laying down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2619/90 (4), lays down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies; whereas, where cereals are placed on sale on the  Community market, the security of ECU 5 per tonne provided for in Article 13 (4) of that Regulation has proved insufficient in certain Member States as a result of fluctuations in market prices; whereas the Member States concerned should thus be  permitted to fix a security at a level appropriate for their particular case within a margin of between ECU 5 and ECU 10 per tonne; whereas experience has shown that the defraying by the successful tenderer of the costs of removal where he removes the  cereals after the deadline for payment has expired in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 16 of that Regulation poses problems for export management; whereas that provision should accordingly be deleted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committe for Cereals,
Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The second sentence of Article 13 (4) is replaced by the following:
'Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by proof that the tenderer has provided a security of:
- ECU 5 per tonne where the cereals are sold for export, or
- ECU 5 to ECU 10 per tonne, to be fixed by the Member State concerned, where the cereals are sold on the Community market.'
2. The third paragraph of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 is hereby deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No  1240/95 of 31 May 1995 fixing for June 1995 the maximum levels of withdrawal prices for tomatoes  grown under glass
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of  the market in fruit and vegetables  (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 997/95   (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,
Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the  market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra` class and  class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;
Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market grown under glass, producers'  organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal  price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No  1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can  justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for June 1994 a variation of the same order  as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes for  June 1995;
Whereas the measures provided in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For June 1995 producers' organizations or associations of such  organizations may fix withdrawal prices, not exceeding the following maxima, in ecus per 100  kilograms net, for tomatoes grown under glass:
-  June  (11 to 20):  36,33,
(21 to 30):  33,41.
The producers' organizations shall supply the following information to the national  authorities, who shall communicate it to the Commission:
-  the period during which withdrawal prices are available,
-  the levels of withdrawal prices proposed and of those applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 June 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

Whereas in France the production of sunflower seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC of varieties resistant to the disease Phomopsis which are included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or the French national catalogue of varieties has been insufficient in 1987 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is hereby authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1988, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 200 tonnes of sunflower seed (Helianthus annuus L.) of the category 'certified seed' of varieties resistant to the disease Phomopsis which are included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of a agricultural plant species, nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties. The official label shall state 'Intended exclusively for France'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 200 tonnes of sunflower seed provided that it is intended exclusively for France.
