Commission Regulation (EC) No 1996/2006 of 22 December 2006 adapting several Regulations concerning the cereals market by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1996/2006

of 22 December 2006

adapting several Regulations concerning the cereals market by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,

(1) Certain technical amendments are needed to several Commission regulations concerning the cereals market by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union.

(2) A number of regulations in the cereals sector provide for entries in all the Community languages. These entries should therefore be added in the languages of the new Member States, and Commission Regulations (EEC) Nos 2622/71 (¹), 1722/93 (²), 2131/93 (³), (EC) Nos 1501/95 (⁴), 1839/95 (⁵), 2058/96 (⁶), 196/97 (⁷), 327/98 (⁸), 1342/2003 (⁹), 2236/2003 (¹⁰), 955/2005 (¹¹), 972/2006 (¹²) and 1482/2006 (¹³) should therefore be amended accordingly.

(3) After accession, the references to Bulgaria and Romania as countries of destination for export refunds and levies in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2145/92 of 29 July 1992 redefining the destination zones for export refunds, export levies and certain export licenses for cereals and rice (¹⁴) should be deleted.

(4) With Romania’s accession, Constanta becomes a Community port. As a result, the second subparagraph of Article 7(2a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/1993 ceases to be relevant and should therefore be adapted.

(5) With the accession of Bulgaria, the Community tariff quotas involving Bulgaria provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) Nos 2133/2001 (¹⁵) and 958/2003 (¹⁶) will lapse. Those quotas should therefore be deleted.

(6) After accession, the Community tariff quota involving Romania provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 573/2003 (¹⁷) will lapse. That quota should therefore be deleted.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice set out, following the conclusion of trade agreements between the European Community and Bulgaria and Romania, a specific procedure for exports of cereal products to those countries. These rules should be adapted to take account of the accession of the two countries to the European Union.

(8) Following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the provisions of Article 1(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 936/2006 (¹⁸) lapse as regards the exclusion of Bulgaria and Romania from the invitation to tender for common wheat for export to third countries, and should therefore be deleted.

(9) Following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, the provisions of Articles 1(1) and 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1278/2006 (¹⁹) lapse as regards the exclusion of Bulgaria and Romania from the list of third countries towards which exports of oats from Finland and Sweden are destined, and should therefore be deleted.
