COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1823/2004
of 20 October 2004
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 21 October 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever occurred in Germany in 1997; whereas the appearance of this disease is a serious danger to the Community's pigs and, in order to help eradicate the disease as rapidly as possible, the Community has the possibility of compensating for the losses suffered;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 988/98 of 11 May 1998 amending for the 10th time Regulation (EC) No 913/97 adopting exceptional support measures for the pigmeat market in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Spain, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 913/97 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 744/98 (4), to introduce exceptional support measures for the pigmeat market in that market State;
Whereas, because the veterinary and trade restrictions continue to apply and have been extended to new zones, particularly in the province of Zaragoza, the number of piglets which may be delivered to the competent authorities should be increased so that the exceptional measures can continue from 22 April 1998;
Whereas piglets originating in the new zones are generally marketed at a weight of six kilograms or more; whereas it is therefore necessary to reduce the minimum weight of eligible piglets and to fix the aid for such animals;
Whereas the restrictions on the free movement of piglets have been operative for several weeks in one of the zones in the province of Zaragoza, resulting in a substantial increase in the weight of the animals and consequently an intolerable situation as regards their welfare; whereas retroactive application of Article 1(4) of this Regulation from 15 April 1998 is therefore justified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Regulation (EC) No 913/97 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1(4), '10 kilograms` is replaced by 'six kilograms`;
2. Article 4 is amended as follows:
(a) in the first subparagraph of paragraph 4, '10 kilograms` is replaced by '13 kilograms`;
(b) in paragraph 4, the following subparagraph is added:
'For piglets weighing 6 kilograms or more but less than 13 kilograms on average per batch, the aid referred to in Article 1(4), at farm gate, shall be ECU 27 per head.`;
3. Annex I is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation;
4. Annex II is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 22 April 1998.
However, the provisions of Article 1(4) shall apply from 15 April 1998 to the protection and surveillance zones defined in the Order of the Diputación General de Aragón of 25 March 1998.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
