- products obtained from the shearing of live animals carried out under the approved management programme, appropriately marked and registered

This type of monitoring and surveillance is conducted on a regular basis throughout the growing season by consultants selling the relevant agronomic products and the growers themselves.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1054/73 (2) of 18 April 1972, laid down the detailed rules for aid in respect of silkworms for the 1973/74 rearing year;

to make available to the associate rearers adequate technical resources for the preparation, storage, and marketing of the products of their silkworm rearing, on condition:

on transitional measures in the sector of flax and hemp grown for fibre in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 707/76 of 25 March 1976 on the recognition of producer groups of silkworm rearers (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Regulation (EEC) No 922/72 of the Council of 2 May 1972 laying down general rules for granting aid in respect of silkworms for the 1972/73 rearing year

- specimens that form part of the registered stock in Argen tina, provided that permits are confirmed by that Secretariat before being accepted by the Member State of import

exclude, throughout their field of activity, any discrimination whatsoever between Community rearers in respect of inter alia their nationality or place of establishment;

In hatchery a mortality is considered abnormal when the farmer cannot obtain larvae during a period which included successive spawns from different broodstocks.

In hatchery a mortality shall be considered abnormal when the farmer cannot obtain larvae during a period which included successive spawns from different broodstocks.

there must be a minimum distance of 300 metres between relaying areas, and also between relaying areas and production areas;

check the possible presence of toxin-producing plankton in production and relaying waters and biotoxins in live bivalve molluscs;

The 10 °C temperature limit applies only to breeding periods of species which need cold water for reproduction and only to waters which may contain such species

The 10 °C temperature limit applies only to breeding periods of species which need cold water for reproduction and only to waters which may contain such species

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 845/721 of 24 April 1972 laying down special measures to encourage silkworm rearing, and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof;

Whereas the Council in Regulation (EEC) No 922/72 (2) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 884/73 (3) laid down general rules for granting aid in respect of silkworms for the 1972/73 and 1973/74 rearing years;

'production area' means any sea, estuarine or lagoon area containing natural deposits of bivalve molluscs or sites used for cultivation of bivalve molluscs from which live bivalve molluscs are taken;

For the purposes of this Regulation, 'recognized producer groups' means any group of silkworm rearers formed by the rearers themselves for either of the following purposes:

whereas that Regulation prohibits the display to the public for commercial purposes of specimens of species listed in Annex A thereof unless a specific exemption was granted for education, research or breeding purposes;

should a purification tank contain several batches of molluscs, they must be of the same species and come from the same production area or different areas conforming to the same health conditions.

- information about the test organism (scientific name, strain, supplier or source, any pretreatment, breeding method - including source, kind and amount of food, feeding frequency);

The samples of fresh grapes shall be taken from vineyards situated in a wine-growing area of clearly defined soil type, situation, vine training system, variety, age and cultural practices.

In the case of the 1972/73 rearing year, the general rules laid down in the following Articles shall apply to the granting, in respect of silkworms reared within the Community, of the aid provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 845/72 (1)

'batch' means a quantity of live bivalve molluscs collected from a production area and subsequently intended for delivery to an approved dispatch centre, purification centre, relaying area or processing plant as appropriate;

Instruction concerning surveillance, monitoring and reporting could be distributed to growers purchasing genetically modified seed stocks and contractual agreements could be formulated as a condition of sale or use.

If the result of a sampling plan shows that placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs may constitute a hazard to human health, the competent authority must close the production area, as regards molluscs concerned, until the situation has been restored.

whereas it is therefore necessary to define production areas from which molluscs can bet gathered for direct human consumption, or from which they have to be purified or relayed;

If such monitoring reveals, that the requirements of this Directive are no longer being met, the competent authority shall close the production or relaying area concerned until the situation has been restored to normal.

they must have been harvested and transported from the production area to a dispatch centre, purification centre, relaying area or processing plant under the conditions laid down in Chapter II of the Annex;

that all their production is marketed, i. e. sold to the wholesale trade or to the user industries, by the producer group though the group may exempt rearers from this obligation in respect of certain quantities,

the actual health conditions during the production and placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs and in particular the monitoring of production areas in relation to microbiological and environmental contamination, and to the presence of marine biotoxins;

The aid shall be granted to silkworm rearers for each box of silkworm eggs used, on conditions that the boxes contain a minimum quantity of eggs, to be determined, and that the worms have been successfully reared.

The competent authority shall establish a list of production and relaying areas, with an indication of their location and boundaries, from which live bivalve molluscs may be taken in accordance with the requirements of this Directive and, in particular, with Chapter I of the Annex.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 of 27 July 2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre fn, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 651/2002 fn, and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Member States are authorized to grant aid solely to rearers who have obtained their boxes of eggs from an approved body and who, on successful completion of rearing, have delivered the cocoons which have been produced to an approved body.

If a production or relaying area is closed temporarily, the competent authority must refrain from issuing registration documents for that area and immediately suspend the validity of all registration documents already issued.

Whereas, in order to help ensure a fair income for silkworm rearers and in order to stabilize the market in these products, the centralization of supply and the adaptation of production to the requirements of the market through joint action by rearers should be encouraged;

It is certainly feasible that growers or agronomic consultants could conduct surveys of major unforeseen changes or effects such as dissemination and establishment of volunteer plants in adjacent areas if clear instructions are provided.

Dispatch centres must accept only those batches of live bivalve molluscs which are accompanied by the registration document referred to in Chapter II, section 6 of this Annex and coming from an approved production area, relaying area or purification centre.

A registration document for the identification of batches of live bivalve molluscs during transport from the production area to a dispatch centre, purification centre, relaying area or processing plant is issued by the competent authority upon request by the gatherer.

participating in research from which conservation benefits accrue to the species, and/or training in relevant conservation skills, and/or the exchange of information relating to species conservation and/or, where appropriate, captive breeding, repopulation or reintroduction of species into the wild,

A registration document for the identification of batches of live bivalve molluscs during transport from the production area to a dispatch centre, purification centre, relaying area or processing plant must be issued by the competent authority upon request by the gatherer.

Any change in the demarcation of production areas and the temporary or definitive closure thereof must be immediately announced by the competent authority to those affected by this Directive and in particular to producers and operators of purification and dispatch centres.

For the purposes of Article 8(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97, a Member State may make pre-issued certificates available to breeders approved for that purpose by a management authority, provided that they maintain breeding records, which shall, on request, be produced to the competent management authority.

the regularity and the rapidity of the information provided by the third country on the presence of plankton containing toxin in the production areas and, in particular, of species not occurring in Community waters, and risks that such presence may signify for the Community;

Where a breeder cannot acquire or exploit a plant variety right without infringing a prior patent, he may apply for a compulsory licence for non-exclusive use of the invention protected by the patent inasmuch as the licence is necessary for the exploitation of the plant variety to be protected, subject to payment of an appropriate royalty.

(1) Transitional measures should be laid down to ensure correct application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 of 27 July 2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre fn to processors in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as the new producer Member States).
