THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2846/98(2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 of 17 December 1999 fixing for 2000 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required and amending Regulation (EC) No 66/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1696/2000(4), lays down quotas for whiting for 2000.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2990/78  of 18 December 1978  amending Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 227 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 of 14 March 1977 establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple (3) makes the granting of the aid to processors in particular conditional upon payment of at least a minimum price to the producers;
Whereas, owing to the special circumstances under which pineapples are harvested, the processing of the product extends over a comparatively long period ; whereas the need to wait for the granting of the production aid causes financial difficulties for the processors, who are required to pay a minimum price to the producers of fresh pineapples ; whereas, in order to facilitate the processing of pineapples harvested in the Community, it should be made possible to pay an advance on the aid before payment to producers of the minimum price ; whereas the proper operation of this system requires that the payment of these advances should be subject to the lodging of a security in order to ensure compliance with the conditions governing the granting of the aid,
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77:
"However, advances against the aid may be paid on submission of a written contract - more particularly in the form of a supply commitment - between the producer of fresh pineapples and the processor, provided that the latter lodges a security in order to ensure compliance with the first subparagraph."
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.

(4) It is nevertheless preferable to provide for a transition period to allow certain Member States to adapt to the amendments made; it is essential for purposes of simplification for this transition period to end when the provisions revising the rules on the Single Administrative Document come into force.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with opinion of the Committee on Statistics relating to the trading of goods with non-member countries,
The version valid from 1 January 2004 of the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States is set out in the Annex hereto.
