outlining the general approach for the reallocation of resources under Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for preaccession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the preaccession period
(2004/586/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for preaccession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the preaccession period (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 15 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Copenhagen European Council of 12 and 13 December 2002 endorsed the results of the negotiations, which have since then resulted in the accession to the Community of eight countries which at that time benefited from the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999. Following their accession to the European Union on 1 May 2004, those countries lost the benefit of the aid provided by that Regulation. Consequently, in the period from 2004 to 2006 only Bulgaria and Romania will continue to benefit from commitments under that Regulation.
(2) By endorsing the roadmaps for Bulgaria and Romania, as proposed by the Commission, the Copenhagen European Council agreed to fix the ratio for the division (30 % and 70 % respectively) of the aid under the Phare programme set up pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 of 18 December 1989 on economic aid to the Republic of Hungary and the Polish People’s Republic (2), the special accession programme for agriculture and rural development (Sapard) set up under Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 and the Instrument for Structural Policies for Preaccession (ISPA), set up pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999 (3).
(3) That ratio takes account of the need and capacity for absorbing assistance referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 as well as the criteria for the financial allocation to each applicant country as stipulated in Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(4) The Council, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999, is to adopt the general approach for reallocation of the available financial resources for the Sapard instrument between the remaining beneficiary countries, namely Romania and Bulgaria,
For the period 2004 to 2006, the division between Romania and Bulgaria of resources available by virtue of the commitments entered into pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 shall be established at a rate of 70 % for Romania and 30 % for Bulgaria.
COMMISSION DECISION of 15 February 1994 deferring, as regards the importation of vegetable propagating and planting material, other than seed, from third countries, the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of Council Directive 92/33/EEC (94/152/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/33/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed (1), as amended by Commission Decision 93/400/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in the absence of a schedule of conditions as required pursuant to Article 4 of Directive 92/33/EEC, Commission Decision 93/400/EEC deferred the date in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive to 31 December 1993;
Whereas, by virtue of Commission Directive 93/61/EEC (3), those conditions were established and came into force on 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Commission is required pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Directive 92/33/EEC to decide whether vegetable and planting material other than seed produced in a third country and affording the same guarantees as regards obligations on the supplier,  identity, characteristics, plant health, growing medium, packaging, inspection arrangements, marking and sealing, are equivalent in all these respects to vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed produced in the Community and complying  with the requirements and conditions of the Directive;
Whereas, however, the information presently available on the conditions applying in third countries is not sufficient to enable the Commission to make any such decision in respect of any third country at this stage;
Whereas it is known that, hitherto, Member States have imported vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed produced in certain third countries; whereas, in order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted Member States should be  allowed to apply to the importation of vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed from third countries conditions equivalent to those applicable to the production and marketing of products obtained in the Community, in accordance with
Article 16
(2) of the said Directive;
Whereas vegetable propagating and planting material other than seed imported by a Member State in accordance with a decision taken by that Member State pursuant to Article 16 (2), first subparagraph of the said Directive should be subject to no  marketing restrictions as regards the matters referred to in Article 16 (1) of the said Directive in other Member States;
Whereas accordingly the date referred to in Article 16 (2) of the said Directive should be further deferred;
Whereas the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Materials for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry failed to deliver an opinion within the time allowed by its Chairman,
The date referred to in Article 16 (2), first subparagraph of Directive 92/33/EEC is hereby deferred until 31 December 1994.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
