Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 88/661/EEC of 19 December 1988 on the zootechnical standards applicable to breeding animals of the porcine species (1), and in particular the third indent of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas in all Member States herd-books are maintained or established by breeders' associations, breeding organizations or official services;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to lay down the criteria for the entering of pure-bred breeding pigs in herd-books;
Whereas precise conditions relating to lineage and identification must be fulfilled prior to entry in the herd-books;
Whereas allowances should be made for the division of the herd-book into different sections so that certain types of animals will not be excluded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,
To qualify for entry in the main section of the book of its breed a pure-bred breeding pig must:
— be descended from parents and grandparents entered in a herd-book of that same breed,
— be identified after birth according to the rules of that book,
— have a pedigree established in accordance with the rules of that book.
The main section of the herd-book may be divided into several sections according to the animals' characteristics. Only pure-bred breeding pigs meeting the criteria laid down in Article 1 may be entered in one of those sections.
1.   A breeder's association or breeding organization keeping a herd-book may decide that a female, which does not meet the criteria laid down in Article 1, may be entered in a supplementary section of that herd-book. The female must meet the following requirements:
— be identified in accordance with the herd-book rules,
— be judged to conform to the breed standard,
— have minimum characteristics as laid down by the herd-book rules.
2.   The requirements mentioned in the second and third indents of paragraph 1 may be differentiated according to whether the female belongs to the breed although it has no known origin or was obtained from a crossing programme approved by the breeders' association or breeding organization.
A female whose mother and maternal grandmother are entered in a supplementary section of the herd-book as provided for in Article 3 (1) and whose father and two grandfathers are entered in the main section of the book in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 1 shall be regarded as a pure-bred female and entered in the main section of the book, as provided for in Article 1.
Where a book contains several sections a pure-bred breeding pig from another Member State and having specific characteristics distinguishing it from the population of the same breed in the Member State of destination shall be entered in the section of the book whose characteristics it meets.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(2) That suspension measure expired on 31 December 2008.
(3) On consumer benefit grounds, to ensure rational development of production and an expansion of consumption within the Community and to promote trade between Member States and third countries, it is in the interest of the Community to extend the current autonomous duty suspension for two years starting from 1 January 2009 and to increase the diagonal measurement of the screen to 55,9 cm (22 inches) and to add the additional aspect ratios of 1:1 and 16:10.
(4) For the same reasons, it is also in the interest of the Community to provide for a suspension for two years starting from 1 January 2009 for black and white or other monochrome monitors with a diagonal measurement of the screen not exceeding 77,5 cm (30,5 inches) and with the same aspect ratios as for colour monitors.
(5) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) As the suspensions provided for in this Regulation are an extension of the suspension introduced by Regulation (EC) No 301/2007 that expired on 31 December 2008 and since it is not in the interest of the Community that there be any interruption of the tariff treatment of the monitors covered by the suspension, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2009,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2009.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 4 October 1991  approving the French programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in general (91/553/EEC)

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of  transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed  rules for the application of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as last amended by  Regulation (EEC) N° 1110/91 (3), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas France has notified the Commission of its intention to introduce a programme of  agricultural income aid for farmers in general; whereas the Commission approved this programme by  Decision 96/606/EEC (4);
Whereas on 15 July 1991 France notified the Commission that the actual demand for support under the  programme was higher than initially anticipated; whereas the increase provided for in the total  amount of aid remains within the limits set by Community law; whereas, therefore, it seems  appropriate to authorize the envisaged change and the increase in the sums eligible for Community  finance which the authorization implies;
Whereas at the same time France notified certain adjustments to the rules of application of the  programme;
Whereas these increase and adjustments do not change the substance of the approval Decision  90/606/EEC; whereas for reasons of legal clarity it seems nevertheless appropriate to take a new  approval decision;
Whereas on 19 September 1991, the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aids was consulted  on the measures provided for in this Decision;
Whereas on 19 September 1991, the Management Committee was consulted on the maximum amounts that  may be charged annually to the Community budget as a result of adopting this Decision,
The programme of agricultural income aid notified to the Commission  by France on 12 June 1990, as amended by the communication of 15 July 1991, is hereby approved.
The maximum amounts that may be charged annually to the Community budget as a result of  this Decision shall be as follows:
>TABLE>
Commission Decision 90/606/EEC is hereby revoked. However, any request  for aid submitted to the French authorities prior to notification of this Decision may be examined  under the conditions provided for in the programme notified on 12 June 1990.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
