COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 December 2010
amending Decision 2005/1/EC authorising methods for grading pig carcases in the Czech Republic as regards the presentation of such carcases
(notified under document C(2010) 9187)
(Only the Czech text is authentic)
(2010/793/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2005/1/EC (2), the use of six methods for grading pig carcases was authorised in the Czech Republic.
(2) On 23 February 2010, the Czech Republic requested the Commission to be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) In accordance with the second paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of that point, where normal commercial practice in their territory differs from that standard presentation. In its request, the Czech Republic specified that in its territory it is commercial practice that carcases can be presented without the flare fat being removed. This presentation that differs from the standard presentation should therefore be authorised in the Czech Republic.
(4) In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, this different presentation should be taken into account by adjusting the weight recorded in such cases in relation to the weight for standard presentation.
(5) Decision 2005/1/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
In Decision 2005/1/EC the following Article 1a is inserted:
‘Article 1a
Notwithstanding the standard presentation laid down in the first paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, pig carcases in the Czech Republic may be presented without the flare fat having been removed before being weighed and graded. In the case of such presentation the recorded hot carcase weight shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
hot carcase weight = 1,65651 + 0,96139 × weight of the hot carcase with the flare fat.’.
This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3983/88  of 19 December 1988  increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened for 1988 for newsprint
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, for newsprint, the Community has reached an agreement which provides in particular for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 650 000 tonnes, of which 600 000 tonnes are reserved, until 30 November of each year, exclusively for products  from Canada, in accordance with Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; whereas this agreement provides equally for the obligation to increase, by 5 %, that part of the quota reserved for imports from Canada, in the event that that  part is used up before the end of a given period of one year; whereas the quota of 650 000 tonnes was opened for 1988 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4103/87 (1);
Whereas the economic data at present available give rise to the belief that the requirements for importing newsprint from Canada could reach a level higher than the said volume of 600 000 tonnes; whereas the volume of that part of quota reserved for  these imports should be increased, therefore, by 30 000 tonnes,
1. The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 4103/87 for newsprint from Canada shall be increased from 600 000 tonnes to 630 000 tonnes.
2. This increase of 30 000 tonnes shall be added to the Community reserve set up by Article 3 (2) of the said Regulation, thus increasing the reserve from 240 000 tonnes to 270 000 tonnes.
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.
