of 13 July 2000
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 18(15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2491/98(3), provides that on exportation of the goods, the agricultural products which have been used may qualify for refunds established pursuant to the regulations on the common organisation of the market in the sectors concerned.
(2) Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 provides for refunds on certain products covered by the Regulation if they are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I thereto.
(3) In view of the Community's commitments under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreement on Agriculture(4) and budget availabilities, and in view of anticipated developments in agricultural prices in the Community and on the world market and in exports of agricultural products in the form of goods not listed in Annex I to the Treaty, the possibility of granting export refunds on agricultural products in the form of goods in which they may be incorporated should be restricted.
(4) As a result, the list of goods in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 should be amended.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1177/2000
of 31 May 2000
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 laying down detailed rules concerning the aid for fibre flax and hemp
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organisation of the market in flax and hemp(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999(2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 of 22 March 1971 laying down general rules for granting aid for flax and hemp(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1420/98(4), the aid for hemp is granted solely for varieties where the weight of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) determined by reference to the weight of a sample dried to a constant weight has on analysis been found not to exceed certain limits. In addition, Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 of 28 April 1989 laying down detailed rules concerning the aid for fibre flax and hemp(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1328/1999(6), provides that Member States must determine the average THC content of hemp on a certain percentage of the areas under hemp
(2) Scientific advances have been made since the Community method for the quantitative determination of THC in varieties of hemp was laid down in 1989 in Annex C to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89. Furthermore, that method makes provision for a cumbersome sampling procedure for checks on production that is difficult to carry out in practice. A new method more suited to requirements and in line with current possibilities should therefore be laid down.
(3) The method used for determining the THC content of varieties of hemp on which aid is payable must be very accurate in order to ensure compliance with the conditions laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71. In addition, with a view to the findings regarding production provided for in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89, the method used must allow checks to cover a sufficiently representative percentage of the areas under hemp so as to ensure that crops correspond to those provided for under the common organisation of the market in this product. A method comprising two different procedures, one for each of the objectives pursued, should therefore be laid down.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
Annex C to Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 is replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of 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.
