SECTION 2 Repeal and final provision

whereas, therefore, the provisions in question should be repealed;

whereas, therefore, those provisions should be repealed and the relevant Directives adapted accordingly;

For reasons of clarity Decision 2002/552/EC should be repealed as its provisions are superseded by this Decision.

whereas the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 756/70 should therefore be repealed with effect from that date;

THEY MAY BE SUPPLEMENTED, BUT NOT CANCELLED OR CONTRADICTED, BY PROVISIONS DECIDED UPON BY THE MEMBER STATES.

whereas that Regulation should be repealed and its provisions incorporated, with the requisite amendments, in Regulation No 136/66/EEC;

whereas certain provisions which have lapsed although they are not directly connected with the GATT agreements should also be repealed;

the provisions of Article 3 of Decision 93/590/EC and of Article 5 of Decision 97/348/EC are no longer adapted to the new situation and should be repealed;

Council Joint Action 96/602/JHA and the provision of Article 47(4) of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement should accordingly be repealed,

It is necessary to repeal certain provisions of the Common Manual(2) which are superfluous for border control activities and to amend certain other provisions in order to take account of that repeal.

It is therefore appropriate to update and consolidate in the present Decision the provisions in Decision 2002/69/EC and to repeal Decisions 2001/669/EC and 2002/69/EC accordingly.

Since that work has not yet been completed, the date of repeal of certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2676/1990 should be postponed for a further period of two years pending the final outcome of the studies in progress.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1805/78 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1200/93 (5), and the provisions of which have become obsolete, should be repealed;

Decisions to amend, repeal or extend measures decided on under paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 5 shall be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 28.

Whereas continuation of the arrangements calls for the adoption of new implementing rules and the repeal of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1620/77 of 18 July 1977 on imports of olive oil originating in Lebanon (3);

Whereas this Regulation incoporates, whilst adapting them, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2169/86 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1398/91 (8), whereas that Regulation should therefore be repealed;

Acting on a proposal from the Commission, the Council shall, where necessary, amend the relevant provisions of the Directives referred to in Annex II in order to adapt them to the requirements of this Directive before the date of repeal of Directive 84/360/EEC, referred to in the first subparagraph.

However, in order to ensure the continuity of the activities of the European Agency for Reconstruction, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1628/96 which concern the establishment and operation of the Agency should be incorporated into a new Regulation, which should enter into force on the date of that repeal.

whereas, therefore, since the Regulation cannot be repealed before that date, it should be explicitly laid down that its provisions concerning import licences apply only to the abovementioned imports of olive oil from Tunisia;

Whereas, to facilitate trade transactions and to stabilise the market, the length of validity of the licences should be extended, certain now outdated provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 should be repealed and the Annex thereto should be updated;

Whereas the new rules established by the present regulation make it necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3421/84 of 5 December 1984 on sampling of catches for the purpose of determining the by-catch percentage when fishing with small-meshed nets (4);

In view of the adoption of these new provisions, it is necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EC) No 1489/97 of 29 July 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 as regards satellite-based vessel monitoring systems(2).

With a view to implementing the new conservation measures adopted by the CCAMLR, those Regulations should be repealed and replaced by a single Regulation bringing together the special provisions for the control of fishing activities arising from the Community's obligations as a Contracting Party to the Convention.

Whereas these amendments relate only to the administrative provisions contained in Directive 72/306/EEC, whereas it is not necessary therefore to invalidate existing approvals pursuant to Directive 72/306/EEC nor to prevent the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles covered by such approvals;

The provisions of this Article are without prejudice to the Member States' laws and regulations governing the cancellation or termination or non-enforceability of a distance contract or the right of a consumer to fulfil his contractual obligations before the time fixed in the distance contract.

Council Regulation No 141 of 26 November 1962 exempting transport from the application of Regulation No 17(12) should therefore be repealed and Regulations (EEC) No 1017/68(13), (EEC) No 4056/86(14) and (EEC) No 3975/87(15) should be amended in order to delete the specific procedural provisions they contain.

Whereas, for the sake of clarity, Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 165/74 and Article 11(2) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 should be repealed, and provisions should be laid down covering the powers and obligations of authorised agents applicable to all own resources, taking into account the specific nature of the own resource accruing from VAT and that based on GNP;

As a result of the aforementioned changes and new provisions, Council Regulations (EEC) No 3508/92, (EC) No 1577/96 of 30 July 1996 introducing a specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes(12) and (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(13) should be repealed.
