COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 262/2005
of 16 February 2005
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 17 February 2005.
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 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas African swine fever has been present in Portugal for many years;
Whereas Decision 86/649/EEC (3) has granted financial support for a period of five years;
Whereas, by Decision 87/526/EEC (4), the Commission has approved the reinforced plan for the eradication of African swine fever presented by Portugal;
Whereas the efforts already made have served to stabilize the incidence of the disease; whereas the resources deployed must, however, be maintained and reinforced in order to eradicate African swine fever from the entire territory of Portugal and thus contribute to the establishment of the internal market;
Whereas the Portuguese authorities have appealed to the Community for an additional contribution towards the expenditure involved in the continuation and reinforcement of the eradication programme undertaken in 1987;
Whereas, in order to benefit from the results obtained, this request should be granted so that the systematic action already undertaken can be maintained and consolidated;
Whereas in order to promote the implementation of the eradication programme, arrangements should be made for partial pre-financing of the Community's contribution,
Decision 86/649/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 6 (2) is replaced by the following:
'2. The Community shall refund:
- 50 % of the expenditure referred to in the first indent of paragraph 1,
- 30 % of the expenditure referred to in the second indent of paragraph 1 made before 1 January 1989,
- 50 % of the expenditure referred to in the second indent of paragraph 1 made as from 1 January 1989.'
2. In Article 7 the following shall be added to paragraph 1:
'However, as from 1989 payments may be made in advance, of up to 35 % of the estimated total annual reimbursement, within the limits of the budgetary appropriations, on presentation of the supporting documents by the Portuguese authorities to the Commission.'
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

Whereas, given the foreseeable volume of imports and their prices, there is reason to fear that this situation will persist or become worse in the coming months; whereas, in order to avoid this prospect, imports of the products in question should be  made subject to observance of a minimum import price,
1. The release for free circulation in the Community of Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00, ex 0303 22 00, ex 0304 10 13 and ex 0304 20 13 shall be subject to the condition that the free-at-frontier price must be no less  than the minimum import price given in the Annex hereto.
2. This Regulation shall not apply to products which are proved, on its entry into force, to have already left the supplier country and to have no possible destination other than the Community.
3. Interested paties shall furnish proof, to the satisfaction of the competent customs authorities, by means of all customs and transport documents, that the conditions referred to in paragraph 1, or, where apropriate, those referred to in paragraph 2,  have been met.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 January 1994.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
