WHEREAS THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE FOR BIRDS IN GREENLAND ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IN THE OTHER REGIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TERRITORY OF THE MEMBER STATES ON ACCOUNT OF THE GENERAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND IN PARTICULAR THE CLIMATE, THE LOW DENSITY OF POPULATION AND THE EXCEPTIONAL SIZE AND GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OF THE ISLAND;

The programme calls for the CAP to be applied in those regions and provides for special measures to be adopted, in particular to improve the conditions in which agricultural products are produced and marketed there and to mitigate the effects of their exceptional geographical situation and constraints as since recognised in Article 299(2) of the Treaty.

By derogation from paragraph 4.8, when forage production is lost, in particular as a result of exceptional weather conditions, the competent authorities of the Member States can authorise for a limited period and in relation to a specific area, a higher percentage of conventional feedingstuffs where such a derogation is warranted.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESULTS OF TWO DETERMINATIONS CARRIED OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY OR IN RAPID SUCCESSION ON THE SAME SAMPLE , THE SAME ANALYST , UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS , SHALL NOT EXCEED 0.2 G FAT PER 100 G OF PRODUCT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SKIMMED-MILK POWDER FOR WHICH THE DIFFERENCE MUST NOT EXCEED 0.1 G FAT PER 100 G OF PRODUCT.

Whereas the conditions of life for wild flora and fauna in Greenland are fundamentally different from those of wild flora and fauna in the other regions of the Community because of the general circumstances and in particular the climate, the low density of population and the exceptional size and geographical situation of the island;

Since under the present exceptional weather conditions feed supply availability remains highly unpredictable a new derogation from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 should be urgently introduced whereby the Member States affected may allow arable crop set-aside land to be used for animal feed purposes before expiry of the set-aside period in line with terms and criteria set by them.

By way of exception, the competent authorities may derogate from this condition where such derogation is desirable in the interests of the company or of investors and where the competent authorities are satisfied that investors have the necessary information available to be able to arrive at an informed judgement on the company and the shares for which admission to official listing is sought.

Where a competent authority designated by a Member State considers, upon a sea state and weather forecast provided by a qualified meteorological information service, that exceptionally bad weather or sea conditions are creating a serious threat for the safety of human life or of pollution, it should inform the master of a ship, which intends to enter or leave the port, of the situation and may take any other appropriate measures.

Article 114(2) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities(5) stipulates that in exceptional cases and with proper justification, it may be decided, on the basis of the specific conditions laid down in the basic instruments governing cooperation and in accordance with the appropriate authorisation procedures, to allow nationals of third countries to tender for contracts.

Without prejudice to the provisions in the directive concerned relating to the application of the safeguard clause, where a Member State establishes that the CE marking has been affixed unduly, the manufacturer, his agent or, exceptionally, where the specific directives so provide, the person responsible for placing the product in question on the Community market is obliged to make the product comply and to end the infringement under conditions imposed by the Member State.

"By derogation from paragraph 4.8. when forage production is lost or when restrictions are imposed, in particular as a result of exceptional meteorological conditions, the outbreak of infectious diseases, the contamination with toxic substances, or as a consequence of fires, the competent authorities of the Member States can authorise for a limited period and in relation to a specific area, a higher percentage of conventional feedingstuffs where such authorisation is warranted.

Coastal States have the right to adopt and enforce non-discriminatory laws and regulations for the prevention, reduction and control of marine pollution from vessels in ice-covered areas within the limits of the exclusive economic zone, where particularly severe climatic conditions and the presence of ice covering such areas for most of the year create obstructions or exceptional hazards to navigation, and pollution of the marine environment could cause major harm to or irreversible disturbance of the ecological balance.

However, the Commission, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 144(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, may allow the dates referred to in the first subparagraph to be postponed in certain zones where exceptional climatic conditions render the normal dates inapplicable.

Where it emerges, primarily on the basis of the factors referred to in Article 10, that the conditions laid down for the adoption of measures pursuant to Articles 11 and 16 are met in one or more regions of the Community, the Commission, after having examined alternative solutions, may exceptionally authorize the application of surveillance or safeguard measures limited to the region(s) concerned if it considers that such measures applied at that level are more appropriate than measures applied throughout the Community.
