COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1041/2010
of 16 November 2010
amending Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards Member States’ notifications to the Commission in the milk and milk products sector
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 192(2) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 (2) provides for the notification by the Member States to the Commission of monthly prices for skimmed milk powder used for animal feed. As this information is an essential element for the management of the internal market, it is appropriate to change it into a weekly notification.
(2)
The objective of the provision in Article 6(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 is to relieve the Member States of the notification of export licence applications on days where no refunds or 0 refund rates are fixed for the products referred to in Part 9 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). It appears that the current drafting of the provision can lead to an incorrect interpretation. It is therefore appropriate to provide for a clearer formulation.
(3)
Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 is amended as follows:
1.

‘(b)
where appropriate, that no applications have been submitted on that day, except where none of the products referred to in Part 9 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (4) is subject to a refund or where only a 0 rate refund is applicable;
2.
Annexes I.A and I.B are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Done at Brussels, 16 November 2010.
