Commission Regulation (EC) No 559/2004
of 25 March 2004
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 19 December 1974
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to bottles used as measuring containers
(75/107/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty setting up the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);
Whereas in several Member States the manufacture and testing of bottles used as measuring containers are the subject of mandatory regulations which differ from one Member State to another, thereby hindering trade in this type of bottle; whereas such provisions must therefore be approximated;
Whereas bottles used as measuring containers must have special metrological characteristics and it is necessary for this purpose to specify the maximum errors permissible in their nominal capacity and to define a reference method for checking such errors;
Whereas it is essential that bottles used as measuring containers should, as laid down in the Directive, bear not only an indication of their nominal capacity but also the information required for filling them,
This Directive shall apply to containers commonly called bottles, made of glass or any other substance having such rigidity and stability that it offers the same metrological guarantees as glass, when such containers:
1. are stoppered or designed to be stoppered and are intended for the storage, transport or delivery of liquids,
2. have a nominal capacity of between 0.05 litre and five litres inclusive,
3. have metrological characteristics (design characteristics and uniformity of manufacture) such that they can be used as measuring containers, i.e. when they are filled up to a specified level or to a specified percentage of their brim capacity their contents can be measured with sufficient accuracy.
These containers shall be called measuring container bottles.
Only measuring container bottles which meet the requirements of this Directive may be marked with the EEC sign provided for in the third subparagraph of paragraph 5 of Annex I.
They shall be subject to metrological control under the conditions specified in the Annexes.
Member States may not refuse, prohibit or restrict the marketing and use as measuring containers of bottles which satisfy the requirements and tests laid down in this Directive for reasons concerning their volume, the determination of their volume or the methods by which they have been checked.
1.   Member States shall put into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed in order to comply with this Directive within 18 months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2.   Member States shall ensure that the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

fixing the export refunds on olive oil
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), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 November 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 87 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);

Whereas the amendments that may have to be made to such agreements, decisions and concerted practices may be more readily assessed after examination of a number of agreements, decisions and concerted practices already notified to the Commission has made possible a more precise definition of the procedures for implementing Article 85 of the Treaty ; whereas it is therefore desirable to extend the time limit, currently fixed at 31 December 1963 in accordance with Article 7 (2);
Whereas such an extension does not prevent action from being taken under Article 9 (2) of Regulation No 17 in respect of infringements of the provisions of Article 85 of the Treaty nor action under Article 22 of the said Regulation at any time to make subject to notification those of the agreements, decisions and concerted practices falling within Article 4 (2) thereof which would particularly affect the development of the common market;
In Article 7 (2) of Regulation No 17 for the words "before 1 January 1964" there shall be substituted the words "before 1 January 1967".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

Whereas Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1716/91 of 13 June 1991 concerning the alignment of the sugar and beet prices applicable in Spain on the common prices (2) provides, in respect of the calculation of the accession compensatory amounts  referred to under point 1 of Article 72 of the Act of Accession during the first stage of the said alignment, within the meaning of the said Article, that in so far as sugar is concerned 'common price' shall be understood to mean for Spain the  intervention price for white sugar fixed for the non-deficit areas of the Community increased by an amount of ECU 0,56 per 100 kilograms expressed as white sugar for the 1992/93 marketing year and that in so far as beet is concerned 'common price' shall  be understood mean for Spain the basic price for beet fixed for the Community increased by an amount of ECU 0,728 per tonne for the 1992/93 marketing year; whereas, insofar as Portugal is concerned, the institutional prices for sugar beet and for sugar  are aligned to the common prices from the 1992/93 marketing year;
Whereas the alignment on 1 July 1992 of the said prices makes it necessary to adapt the accession compensatory amounts fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 581/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of  accession compensatory amounts and fixing accession compensatory amounts and fixing accession compensatory amounts in the sugar (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1870/91 (4);
