COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1177/2005

of 20 July 2005

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards the fees payable to the Community Plant Variety Office (2), fixes the fees charged by the Community Plant Variety Office (the Office), and the levels of those fees.

It is expected that, at least until the end of 2005, the financial reserve of the Office will exceed the amount necessary to safeguard the continuity of its operations. The annual fee to be paid to the Office by holders of Community plant variety rights for the years 2006 and 2007 and the fees relating to technical examinations in the year 2006 should therefore not be increased as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1238/95.

The provision of Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 concerning fees for issuing copies should be amended, to take into account the amendment of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1239/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards proceedings before the Community Plant Variety Office (3), by Regulation (EC) No 1002/2005.

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.
