||||||||
|
1701 91 00 |
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 1701, 1701 91, 1701 91 00.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 228/2006
of 9 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 laying down quality standards for bananas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 (2) lays down detailed rules for applying Regulation (EC) No 404/93 as regards the quality standards for bananas. |
|
(2) |
Recent research on banana varieties has led to the development of several hybrids. This is the case of the variety Flhorban 920, a triploide hybrid, Musa balbisiana X Musa acuminata, which belongs to the group AAA. This variety was granted Community protection by Decision No 13757 of the Community Plant Variety Office of 19 July 2004. Hybrids should therefore be covered by Regulation (EC) No 2257/94. |
|
(3) |
Due to the specific climatic conditions of those regions, Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 allows bananas produced in Madeira, the Azores, the Algarve, Crete and Laconia to be marketed in the Community when classified in Class II even if they do not fulfil the requirement of attaining at least 14 cm in length. It is appropriate to provide for the same derogation for bananas produced in Cyprus, where the climatic conditions are similar. |
|
(4) |
In view of the demands of the Community market and taking into account the Codex Alimentarius Standard for bananas (Codex Stan 205-1997), provision should be made in order to allow the commercialisation of bananas presented as single fingers. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 2257/94 is amended as follows:
|
1. |
Annex I is amended as follows:
|
|
2. |
In Annex II, Group AAA, the following row is inserted after the sub-group Gros Michel:
|
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

determining the extent to which applications for import rights lodged in respect of the quota for live bovine animals of a weight exceeding 160 kg and originating in Switzerland, provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005, can be accepted
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 of 23 December 2005 laying down detailed rules for the application of an import tariff quota for live bovine animals of a weight exceeding 160 kg and originating in Switzerland provided for in the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (2), and in particular in the first sentence of Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 fixes at 4 600 head the quantity of the annual quota in respect of which Community importers can lodge an application for import rights in accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation. |
|
(2) |
Since the import rights applied for exceed the available quantity referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005, a unique reduction coefficient should be fixed for quantities tendered, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Each application for import rights lodged in accordance with Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 for the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2006 shall be accepted at a rate of 64,5161 % of the import rights applied for.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 February 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 230/2006
of 9 February 2006
fixing the A1 and B export refunds for fruit and vegetables (tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3),
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables. |
|
(2) |
Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty. |
|
(3) |
Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned. |
|
(4) |
Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned. |
|
(5) |
In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. |
|
(6) |
The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination. |
|
(7) |
Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities. |
|
(8) |
In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds. |
|
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto. For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 March 2006.

Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that to the extent necessary to permit exportation of economically significant quantities export refunds can be granted on the products listed at Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty. Article 18(4) of that Regulation provides that if the refund on the sugar incorporated in the products listed in Article 1(2)(b) is insufficient to allow exportation of these products the refund set in line with Article 17 thereof shall apply to them. |
|
(3) |
Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that it be ensured that trade flows that have already arisen as a result of granting of export refunds are not disturbed. For that reason the quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). |
|
(4) |
Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when refunds are set account is taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability on the Community market of products processed from fruit and vegetables and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged. |
|
(5) |
Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when prices on the Community market are determined account is taken of the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation. |
|
(6) |
The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to differentiate the refund on a given product by destination. |
|
(7) |
Economically significant exports can at present be made of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, sugar-preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and certain orange juices. |
|
(8) |
Export refund rates and quantities should therefore be set for these products. |
|
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Export refund rates in the processed fruit and vegetable sector, periods for lodging and for issuing licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.
2. Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 February 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
