EXPRESSION OF RESULTS >PIC FILE= ""T0010808"">3. MEASURING SITEThe measuring site shall be a level area free from appreciable wave-reflecting surfaces within an ellipse having a major axis of 20 m and a minor axis of 17 73 m. The antenna and the centre of the engine must be located on the major axis of the ellipse, the plane of symmetry of the vehicle being parallel to the minor axis. The antenna and the point of intersection of the side of the engine nearest to the antenna with the major axis must each be located at a focal point of the ellipse. The measuring set, or the test hut or vehicle in which the set is located, may be within the ellipse but horizontally not closer than 3 m to the antenna, in a direction opposite to the vehicle being measured. Furthermore, the absence of any extraneous noise or signal which could materially affect the measurement must be ensured ; a check is therefore made, with the engine stopped, before and after taking the measurements, which can be considered satisfactory only if the readings are at least 10 dB above the highest obtained at the pre- and post-measurement checks.4. VEHICLE   4.1 Only the ancillary electrical equipment necessary for the running of the engine shall be operating.4.2 The engine shall be at its normal operating temperature. During each measurement, the engine shall be operated as follows: >PIC FILE= ""T0010809"">4.3 Measurements shall not be made while rain is falling on the vehicle or within 10 minutes after rain has stopped.5. ANTENNA   5.1 HeightThe centre of the dipole shall be 3 m above the ground.5.2 Distance of measurementThe horizontal distance from the antenna to the nearest metal part of the vehicle shall be 10 m.5.3 Antenna location relative to vehicleThe antenna shall be placed successively on the left- and right-hand sides of the vehicle, at two positions of measurement, with the aerial parallel to the plane of symmetry of the vehicle and in line with the engine. (See Appendix to this Annex.)5.4 Antenna positionAt each of the measuring points, readings shall be taken with the dipole in a horizontal and in a vertical position. (See Appendix to this Annex.)5.5 ReadingsThe maximum of four readings shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made.6. FREQUENCIESMeasurements shall be made within the 40 to 250 MHz range. A vehicle is considered as very likely to meet the required suppression limits over the whole frequency range if it meets them at the following six frequencies : 45, 65, 90, 150, 180 and 220 (± 5 MHz). (The 5 MHz tolerance for the six frequencies chosen should make it possible to avoid interference from transmissions operating on the nominal frequencies.)Appendix ANTENNA DIRECTION RELATIVE TO VEHICLE>PIC FILE= ""T0010810"">ANNEX III STATISTICAL METHOD OF CHECKING RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSIONIn order to ensure with an 80 % probability that 80 % of the vehicles conform to a specified limit L, the following condition must be satisfied: >PIC FILE= ""T0010811"">If a first sample of n vehicles does not meet the specification, a second sample of n vehicles shall be tested and the overall results assessed as coming from a sample of 2n vehicles.ANNEX IV>PIC FILE= ""T0010812"">

36845,"Commission Directive 2009/124/EC of 25 September 2009 amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum levels for arsenic, theobromine, Datura sp., Ricinus communis L., Croton tiglium L. and Abrus precatorius L. (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I to that Directive is prohibited.(2) As regards feedingstuffs obtained from the processing of fish or other marine animals, recent information provided by competent authorities of the Member States on the presence of total arsenic (sum of organic and inorganic arsenic) indicates that it is necessary to increase certain maximum levels for total arsenic. By-products of the fish filleting industry are valuable raw materials for the production of fish meal and fish oil for use in compound feed, in particular fish feed.(3) The increase of the maximum levels for total arsenic in feedingstuffs obtained from the processing of fish or other marine animals and feedingstuffs for fish entails no change in the maximum levels for inorganic arsenic. Since the potential adverse effects of arsenic to animal and human health are determined by the inorganic fraction in a given feed or food product and the organic arsenic compounds exhibit a very low toxic potential (2), the increased levels for total arsenic do not affect the protection of animal and public health.(4) In Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC, arsenic refers to total arsenic for the purpose of setting maximum levels, since there is no standardised routine method for the analysis of inorganic arsenic. But for cases in which the competent authorities request an analysis of the content of inorganic arsenic, that Annex sets out a maximum level for inorganic arsenic.(5) As the extraction method has in some cases a significant influence on the analytical result on total arsenic, it is appropriate to specify an extraction procedure for reference to be used for official control.(6) Information provided by competent authorities and stakeholder organisations indicate significant levels of arsenic in additives belonging to the functional group of compounds of trace elements, authorised in application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). It is appropriate to establish maximum levels for arsenic in these additives to protect animal and public health.(7) As regards theobromine, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its opinion of 10 June 2008 (4) that the current maximum levels for theobromine may not fully protect some animal species. It pointed out possible adverse effects on pigs, dogs and horses and on milk production in dairy cows. It is therefore appropriate to establish lower maximum levels.(8) As regards alkaloids in Datura sp., EFSA concluded in its opinion of 9 April 2008 (5) that, since tropane alkaloids are present in all Datura sp., it is appropriate for the protection of animal health, in particular for pigs, to extend the maximum levels for Datura stramonium L., as set out in Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC, to all Datura sp.(9) As regards ricin (from Ricinus communis L.), EFSA concluded in its opinion of 10 June 2008 (6) that, given the similar toxic effects of the toxins from Ricinus communis L. (ricin), Croton tiglium L. (crotin) and Abrus precatorius L. (abrin), it is appropriate to apply the maximum levels for Ricinus communis L., as set out in Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC, also to Croton tiglium L. and Abrus precatorius L., separately or in combination.(10) Directive 2002/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,. Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 July 2010 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made. This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(20) Following an application from Nordic Sugar A/S., submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of sugar beet fibre and decreasing intestinal transit time (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00971) (10). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Sugar beet fibre decreases intestinal transit time’.(21) On 8 December 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of sugar beet fibre and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(22) The health claim related to the effects of spermidine and prolongation of the growing phase (anagen) of the hair cycle, is a health claim attributing medicinal properties to the food subject to the claim and is therefore prohibited for foods.(23) The health claims related to ‘hypo-caloric snacks (KOT products)’ and to diacylglycerol (DAG) oil are health claims as those referred to in point (c) of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 which are subject to the transitional period laid down in Article 28(6) of that Regulation. However, as the applications were not made before 19 January 2008, the requirement provided for in point (b) of Article 28(6) of that Regulation is not fulfilled, and therefore those claims may not benefit from the transitional period provided for in that Article.(24) The other health claims subject to this Regulation are health claims as referred to in point (a) of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, which are subject to the transitional period laid down in Article 28(5) of that Regulation until the adoption of the list of permitted health claims provided that they comply with that Regulation.(25) The list of permitted health claims has been established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 (11) and is applicable since 14 December 2012. As regards claims referred to in Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 for which the evaluation by the Authority or consideration by the Commission has not been completed by 14 December 2012 and which by virtue of this Regulation are not included in the list of permitted health claims, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which they may still be used, in order to allow both food business operators and the competent national authorities to adapt to the prohibition of such claims.(26) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public received by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.(27) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,. 1.   The health claims listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall not be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.2.   However, the health claims referred to in paragraph 1 used prior to the entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be used for a maximum period of six months after the entry into force of this Regulation.

16743,"Council Regulation (EC) No 907/97 of 20 May 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of synthetic fibres of polyesters originating in India and the Republic of Korea. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 7,2 % on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, commonly referred to as synthetic fibres of polyester (hereinafter referred to as the 'product concerned` of 'PSF`), currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00 and originating in India, with the exception of imports from five Indian exporters specifically mentioned, which were subject either to a lesser rate of duty or to no duty at all.B. PRESENT PROCEDURE(2) In January 1996, the Commission received, from the Indian producer Viral Filaments Limited (hereinafter referred to as 'Viral` or the 'company`), an application for a review of the measures currently in force, i.e. a request to initiate a 'new exporter` review proceeding of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93, pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`). Viral claimed that it was not related to any of the exporters or producers in India subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned. Furthermore, it claimed that it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the current measures in force were based with regard to the determination of dumping, i.e. the period from 1 January to 31 August 1990 (hereinafter referred to as the 'original investigation period`). Finally, Viral also claimed that it had actually exported the product concerned to the Community and that it had also entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities of PSF to the Community.(3) The Commission, after having verified the evidence submitted by the Indian exporter concerned, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, after consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, initiated, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1285/96 (3), a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to Viral and commenced its investigation.In the Regulation initiating the review, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to imports of the product concerned, produced and exported to the Community by Viral, and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.(4) The product covered by the present review is the same product as the one under consideration in Regulation (EEC) No 54/93.(5) The Commission officially advised Viral and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. However, no such request has been received by the Commission.The Commission sent a questionnaire to Viral and received a proper and timely reply.The Commission sought and verify all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the investigation.(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.(7) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the present investigation where circumstances had not changed.C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW(8) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made in this investigation, this review is limited to dumping.D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1. New exporter qualification(9) The investigation confirmed that Viral had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period. Production of PSF by Viral and export thereof to the Community started, in fact, only during the second half of 1995.Furthermore, according to documentary evidence submitted, Viral satisfactorily demonstrated that it did not have any links, either direct or indirect, with any of Indian exporters subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.Accordingly, it is confirmed that Viral should be considered as a new exporter in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, and thus its individual dumping margin should be determined.2. DumpingA. Normal value(10) In accordance with Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation, an examination was conducted to ascertain whether the volume of Viral's sales of PSF on the Indian domestic market in total reached at least 5 % of the volume of the Indian exports of the product concerned to the Community. It was established, based on the documentary evidence submitted in the company's questionnaire reply, that domestic sales of the like product achieved a level considerably in excess of the aforementioned 5 % threshold.For each of the types of PSF sold on the domestic market and found to be identical or directly comparable to types sold for export to the Community, the Commission then established whether domestic sales per type were made in sufficient quantities.Domestic sales of each type were considered to have been made in sufficient quantities within the meaning of Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation as the volume of each type of PSF sold in India during the investigation period represented 5 % or more of the quantity of the comparable type of PSF sold for export to the Community.The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each type of PSF exported to the Community could be considered to have been made in the ordinary course of trade.Whether or not domestic sales were made in the ordinary course of trade was determined pursuant to Article 2 (4) of the Basic Regulation. Since, per product type, the weighted average selling price was equal to, or higher than, the weighted average unit cost and as the volume of sales below unit cost represented less than 20 % of the sales being used to determine normal value, all domestic sales were regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade.In accordance with Article 2 (1) of the Basic Regulation, normal value was therefore based on the weighted average prices of all domestic sales of the corresponding product types exported to the Community.B. Export price(11) Export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned when sold for export to the Community, in accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation.C. Comparison(12) In accordance with Article 2 (11) of the Basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by product type was compared, on an ex-factory basis, to the weighted average export price at the same level of trade.For the purpose of a fair comparison, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences which were claimed and demonstrated to affect price comparability. These adjustments were made, in accordance with Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation, in respect of commissions, transport, insurance, handling and ancillary costs, credit costs, discounts and rebates.D. Dumping margin(13) The above comparison revealed that no dumping existed for exports to the Community of the product concerned made by Viral during the investigation period.E. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED(14) Based on the findings of no dumping made during the investigation, it is considered that no anti-dumping measure should be imposed on imports into the Community of PSF, produced and exported by Viral. Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURE(15) Viral was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it is intended to propose the amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 and was given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.(16) This review carried out does not affect the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 will expire pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,. The following shall be added at the end of Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93:', as well as Viral Filaments Limited, India (Taric additional code 8642)`. Customs authorities are hereby directed to discontinue registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1285/96. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Pursuant to Article 362 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the use of the comprehensive guarantee shall be temporarily forbidden for Community transit operations in respect of:- cigarettes of HS sub-heading 2402.20, when the quantity transported exceeds 35 000 pieces, and- goods included in the Annex to this Decision, when the quantity transported exceeds that shown in column 3 of the said Annex and the goods are non-Community goods. Where several categories of goods referred to in the second indent of Article 1 are declared to the transit procedure on one document, and although the quantities in column 3 of the Annex are not exceeded in relation to each type of good, the use of the comprehensive guarantee shall be prohibited for that operation, if the duties and other charges to which the consignment might be liable exceed ECU 7 000.

297,"82/952/EEC: Commission Decision of 24 November 1982 on aid granted by the French Government to the equalization funds in the pigmeat sector (Only the French text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2966/80 (2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2), and having regard to those comments (3),IWhereas, having been informed of a plan to grant aid to the equalization funds in the pigmeat sector, the Commission, on 8 May and 12 June 1981, requested the French Government, in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the Treaty, to notify it of the aid measure in question;Whereas the planned aid consisted in the payment of FF 146 million to the equalization funds in order to improve their cash-flow situation;Whereas, the abovementioned aid falls within the scope of Articles 92 to 94 of the Treaty by virtue of Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75;Whereas the Commission received no reply from the French authorities and, having concluded a preliminary examination on the basis of the documents at its disposal and having been unable to find the aid measure in question compatible with Article 92 of the Treaty, it initiated the procedure provided for in Article 93 (2) of the Treaty in respect of that aid measure and, under the same procedure, gave notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments;IIWhereas the French Government, in its reply dated 7 August 1981 in response to the letter of notice, stated that the payment was an exceptional measure and that it was intended to help the funds overcome the major cash-flow problems they were experiencing as a result of the fall in market prices;Whereas several Member States and other parties concerned forwarded their comments to the Commission ; whereas they all took the view that the French measure was such as to distort competition and affect trade between Member States to an extent contrary to the common interest and that it contravened the rules of the common market organizations;IIIWhereas, although advances to equalization funds have been allowed in the past, the payment of a non-returnable aid constitutes a novation and produces, indirectly, the same result as a subsidy which ensures a guaranteed price only for farmers who are members of those funds;Whereas, accordingly, the measure is likely to improve production and marketing facilities for the producers concerned as compared with producers in the other Member States who do not receive such aids;Whereas, accordingly, the measure in question affects Community trade ; whereas it therefore meets the criteria for the application of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty;Whereas, moreover, there is a common organization of the market in the sector in question and  (1) OJ No L 282, 1.11.1975, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 307, 18.11.1980, p. 5. (3) OJ No C 187, 28.7.1981, p. 2.  Member States are no longer empowered to introduce national aid measures unilaterally;Whereas, in view of the foregoing, the economic reasons put forward by the French Government cannot be accepted;Whereas the prohibition laid down in Article 92 (1) cannot be lifted under paragraph 2 of that Article since the derogations it provides for are obviously not applicable in this case;Whereas the derogations provided for in Article 92 (3) must, in the context of national or regional aids, be given a strict interpretation ; whereas, in particular, there should be derogations only where the Commission can establish that the aid is necessary in order to attain one of the objectives specified in those provisions;Whereas to authorize, under the said derogations, aids which do not feature such a compensating element would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be undermined and to accepting distortions of competition which would not be in the Community interest and, by the same token, unjustified advantages for certain Member States;Whereas it is not possible to establish that such a compensating element exists in the case of the planned aid in question;Whereas the French Government has been unable to give, and the Commission to find, grounds for considering that the aid in question meets the requirements for a derogation under Article 92 (3) of the Treaty;Whereas the measure is not intended to promote the economic development of an area where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious under-employment and it is not an important project of common European interest or a measure to remedy a serious disturbance in France's economy ; whereas, therefore, paragraphs (a) and (b) of Article 92 (3) of the Treaty are not applicable in this case;Whereas, moreover, the measure constitutes an operating aid for the producers concerned which is purely of an interim protective nature ; whereas the Commission has always opposed aids of this type which do not meet the conditions for a derogation under Article 92 (3) (c) of the Treaty since they are highly ineffective and therefore unlikely to promote development as laid down therein;Whereas, in view of the foregoing, the abovementioned aid does not meet the requirements for application of a derogation under Article 92 (3) of the Treaty,. The aid granted by France in the form of a payment of FF 146 million to the equalization funds in the pigmeat sector is incompatible with the provisions of Article 92 of the Treaty. France shall inform the Commission, within one month, of the measures taken to comply with the provisions referred to in Article 1. This decision is addressed to the French Republic..

5876,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 449/2014 of 2 May 2014 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 on the allocation of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Decision 2012/105/EU of 14 December 2011 on the signing, on behalf of the Union, and provisional application of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation relating to the administration of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union and the Protocol between the European Union and the Government of the Russian Federation on technical modalities pursuant to that Agreement (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) On 22 August 2012, the Russian Federation acceded to the World Trade Organisation. The commitments of the Russian Federation include tariff-rate quotas for the export of specified types of coniferous wood, a share of which has been allocated for exports to the Union. The modalities for the administration of those tariff-rate quotas are laid down in the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation relating to the administration of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union (2) (the Agreement) and in the Protocol (3) between the European Union and the Government of the Russian Federation on technical modalities pursuant to the Agreement (the Protocol). The Agreement and the Protocol were signed on 16 December 2011. They have been applied provisionally from the date of the accession of the Russian Federation to the World Trade Organisation.(2) Pursuant to Article 4 of Decision 2012/105/EU, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 (4) has laid down the rules on the allocation of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union. That Regulation will cease to apply on the date on which the Protocol ceases to be applied provisionally.(3) While the Agreement and the Protocol continue to be applied provisionally, pending the completion of the procedures for their conclusion, the experience gained with the implementation of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 during the first three quota periods has revealed the need to amend Article 15 of that Regulation to take into account the low utilisation rate of the tariff-rate quotas during the first three quota periods. The suspension of the reduction of import ceilings provided for in Articles 13 and 14 during quota period 2015 is necessary to promote the full utilisation by traditional importers in particular of the tariff-rate quotas allocated to exports to the Union.(4) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Implementing Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Wood Committee established by Council Decision 2012/105/EU,. Article 15 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 is replaced by the following:‘Article 151.   Should the conditions for reduction of import ceilings provided for in Articles 13 and 14 be both met simultaneously, only the higher reduction (Ri or ri) shall be applied.2.   The provisions of Articles 13 and 14 shall not apply during the first quota period following the first three quota periods.’ This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Refunds shall be fixed at least once every six months. Except for supplies for the special purposes referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 and supplies of the quantities referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81, the granting of refunds shall be conditional on production of proof that the products have been exported under an export licence. 1. The granting of refunds shall be conditional upon proof that the products exported- were accompanied on export by an analysis certificate issued by an official body of the producer Member State or the exporting Member State certifying that they meet the Community quality standards for the products in question or, in the absence of such standards, the national standards applied by the exporting Member State,and, in the case of table wine,- have been approved by a tasting committee recognized by the exporting Member State; where this Member State is not the producer, proof must also be provided that the wine in question is a Community table wine.The certificate referred to in the first indent of the first subparagraph shall mention at least the following:(a) for table wines:- the colour,- the total alcoholic strength by volume,- the actual alcoholic strength by volume,- the total acidity;(b) for concentrated grape must: the density.2. The exporter shall be required to mention:(a) for table wines of types A II and A III, the vine varieties;(b) for wines resulting from coupage, the origin and quantities of wines used;(c) the numbers and dates of the accompanying documents. 1.

42571,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 483/2013 of 24 May 2013 amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 31(1) thereof,After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety,Whereas:(1) The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (‘SCCP’), subsequently replaced by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (‘SCCS’) pursuant to Commission Decision 2008/721/EC of 5 September 2008 setting up an advisory structure of Scientific Committees and experts in the field of consumer safety, public health and the environment and repealing Decision 2004/210/EC (2), concluded in its opinion of 2 October 2007 that the data included in the dossier demonstrate that polidocanol is of low toxicity and does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer when used up to 3 % in leave-on and up to 4 % in rinse-off cosmetic products. In addition, the SCCP maintained that recent scientific evidence did not confirm the assumed local-anaesthetic effect of polidocanol. Thus, its presence in cosmetics and skin care products will not affect cutaneous sensation. It should therefore be included in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.(2) The SCCS, in an Addendum of 13-14 December 2011 to the SCCP opinion on polidocanol, confirmed the conclusions of the SCCP.(3) Given that polidocanol was found in both injectable and topical medicinal products at concentrations even lower than the ones considered safe by the SCCP, the Commission requested the opinion of the European Medicines Agency on the classification of topical products containing the substance. The opinion, formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use on 25 October 2011, concluded that products containing polidocanol do not automatically qualify as medicinal products falling under the definition of medicinal product provided in Article 1(2) of Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (3). In addition, polidocanol used in topical products at the suggested concentrations and for the suggested topical use (3 % for leave-on products and 4 % for rinse-off products) acts as detergent or ionic surfactant and these products do not present the characteristics of medicinal products.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The application of the abovementioned restrictions should be deferred by 12 months to allow the industry to make the necessary adjustments to product formulations.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 April 2014.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

That Decision was taken within the framework of the second stage of the programme of work provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (3) and (EC) No 703/2001 (4) which lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and which establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(2) The original notifier submitted a new application pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5). It requested the application of the accelerated procedure pursuant to Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and submitted an updated dossier. The application was submitted to Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000.(3) That application complies with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and was submitted within the time period provided for in the second sentence of Article 13 of that Regulation.(4) Spain evaluated the new information and data submitted by the notifier and prepared an additional report on 15 April 2009.(5) The additional report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘EFSA’, and presented to the Commission on 30 September 2009 in the format of the EFSA Conclusion for 1,3-dichloropropene (6). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 9 July 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for 1,3-dichloropropene.(6) The new assessment by the rapporteur Member State and the new conclusion by the EFSA concentrated on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion, which were due to the release in the environment of large amounts of known and unknown polychlorinated impurities, for which no information on persistency, toxicological behaviour, uptake from crops, accumulation, metabolic fate and residue level were available, as well as to the inconclusive nature of the consumer risk assessment and to the risk of groundwater potential contamination, for birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and other non-target organism.(7) New data and information were submitted by the notifier in the updated dossier to address the concerns which lead to the non-inclusion, in particular as regards the identity of a number of impurities, the level of residues expected in crops, the risk to groundwater contamination and the risk to birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target organisms. A new assessment was performed, as included in the additional report and in the EFSA Conclusion for 1,3-dichloropropene.(8) However, the additional data and information provided by the notifier did not permit to eliminate all the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion.(9) In particular, there is a concern for the consumer exposure in relation to 11 unidentified manufacturing impurities. Furthermore, the potential contamination of groundwater in relation to 1,3-dichloropropene, its relevant toxic breakdown product (EZ)-3-chloroacrylic acid and 11 unidentified manufacturing impurities were not adequately addressed and there is a potential for long-range transport through the atmosphere of 10 manufacturing impurities. In addition, the risk to non-target organisms was not demonstrated to be acceptable.(10) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the notifier to submit comments on the draft review report. The notifier submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.(11) However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene satisfy in general the conditions laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(12) 1,3-dichloropropene should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(13) Decision 2007/619/EC should be repealed.(14) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of a further application for 1,3-dichloropropene pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(15) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chairman and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. On the expiry of the period laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 19(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the Council had neither adopted the proposed implementing act nor indicated its opposition to the proposal for implementing measures and it is accordingly for the Commission to adopt these measures,. 1,3-dichloropropene shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2007/619/EC is repealed. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

For a transitional period expiring on 24 August 2005, farmers are allowed to use a limited proportion of conventional feedingstuffs where they can show that organic feedingstuffs are unavailable.(2) It appears that there will not be a supply of sufficient quantities to fill the demand for organic feed materials in the Community after 24 August 2005, especially as concerns feed materials rich in proteins needed to sustain production for monogastric animals and, to a lesser extent, for ruminants.(3) It is therefore necessary to provide for an extension of the transitional period during which the use of conventional feedingstuffs may be authorised.(4) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) Considering the urgency of the measure due to the fact that the provision on the use of conventional feedingstuffs expires on 24 August 2005, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,.

25065,"2003/335/JHA: Council Decision 2003/335/JHA of 8 May 2003 on the investigation and prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. ,Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 30, 31 and 34(2)(c) thereof,Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of Denmark(1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),Whereas:(1) The International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda have since 1995 been investigating, prosecuting and bringing to justice violations of international law in connection with war, genocide and crimes against humanity.(2) The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 17 July 1998, which has been ratified by all Member States of the European Union, affirms that the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, in particular genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, must not go unpunished and that their effective prosecution must be ensured by taking measures at national level and by enhancing international cooperation.(3) The Rome Statute recalls that it is the duty of every State to exercise its criminal jurisdiction over those responsible for such international crimes.(4) The Rome Statute emphasises that the International Criminal Court established under it is to be complementary to national criminal jurisdictions. Effective investigation and, as appropriate, prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes should be ensured without interference with the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.(5) The investigation and prosecution of, and exchange of information on, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes is to remain the responsibility of national authorities, except as affected by international law.(6) Member States are being confronted on a regular basis with persons who were involved in such crimes and who are trying to enter and reside in the European Union.(7) The competent authorities of the Member States are to ensure that, where they receive information that a person who has applied for a residence permit is suspected of having committed or participated in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, the relevant acts may be investigated, and, where justified, prosecuted in accordance with national law.(8) The relevant national law enforcement and immigration authorities, although having separate tasks and responsibilities, should cooperate very closely in order to enable effective investigation and prosecution of such crimes by the competent authorities that have jurisdiction at national level.(9) Member States should ensure that law enforcement authorities and immigration authorities have the appropriate resources and structures to enable their effective cooperation and the effective investigation and, as appropriate, prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.(10) The successful outcome of effective investigation and prosecution of such crimes also requires close cooperation at transnational level between authorities of the States Parties to the Rome Statute, including the Member States.(11) On 13 June 2002, the Council adopted Decision 2002/494/JHA setting up a European network of contact points in respect of persons responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes(3). Member States should ensure that full use is made of the contact points to facilitate cooperation between the competent international authorities.(12) In Council Common Position 2001/443/CFSP of 11 June 2001 on the International Criminal Court(4), the Member States declared that the crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court are of concern for all Member States, which are determined to cooperate for the prevention of those crimes and for putting an end to the impunity of the perpetrators thereof,. ObjectiveThe aim of this Decision is to increase cooperation between national units in order to maximise the ability of law enforcement authorities in different Member States to cooperate effectively in the field of investigation and prosecution of persons who have committed or participated in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes as defined in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 17 July 1998. Information to law enforcement authorities1. The Member States shall take the necessary measures in order for the law enforcement authorities to be informed when facts are established which give rise to a suspicion that an applicant for a residence permit has committed crimes as referred to in Article 1 which may lead to prosecution in a Member State or in international criminal courts.2. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the relevant national law enforcement and immigration authorities are able to exchange the information, which they require in order to carry out their tasks effectively. Investigation and prosecution1. Member States shall assist one another in investigating and prosecuting the crimes referred to in Article 1 in accordance with relevant international agreements and national law.2. Where, in connection with the processing of an application for a residence permit, the immigration authorities become aware of facts which give rise to a suspicion that the applicant has participated in crimes referred to in Article 1, and where it emerges that the applicant has previously sought permission to reside in another Member State, the law enforcement authorities may apply to the competent law enforcement authorities in the latter Member State with a view to obtaining relevant information, including information from the immigration authorities.3. Insofar as the law enforcement authorities in a Member State become aware that a person suspected of crimes as referred to in Article 1 is in another Member State, they shall inform the competent authorities in the latter Member State of their suspicions and the basis thereof. Such information shall be provided in accordance with relevant international agreements and national law. StructuresMember States shall consider the need to set up or designate specialist units within the competent law enforcement authorities with particular responsibility for investigating and, as appropriate, prosecuting the crimes in question. Coordination and periodic meetings1. Member States shall coordinate ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute persons suspected of having committed or participated in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes.2. At the Presidency's initiative, the contact points designated under Article 1 of Decision 2002/494/JHA, shall meet at regular intervals with a view to exchanging information about experiences, practices and methods. These meetings may take place in conjunction with meetings within the European Judicial Network and, depending on the circumstances, representatives from the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda, the International Criminal Court and other international bodies may also be invited to take part in such meetings. Compliance with data protection legislationAny kind of exchange of information or other kind of processing of personal data under this Decision shall take place in full compliance with the requirements flowing from the applicable international and domestic data protection legislation. ImplementationMember States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision by 8 May 2005. Territorial applicationThis Decision shall apply to Gibraltar.

38765,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 894/2010 of 8 October 2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 on a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take account of the special situation of Cape Verde regarding exports of certain fisheries products to the Community. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 76 thereof,Whereas:(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 (3) Cape Verde was granted a derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 allowing it to consider as originating in Cape Verde certain fishery products produced in Cape Verde from non-originating fish. That derogation is due to expire on 31 December 2010.(2) By letter dated 21 December 2009 Cape Verde submitted a request for an increase in the quantities granted for 2010 in respect of two of the three categories of fishery products covered by Regulation (EC) No 815/2008. By letter dated 8 June 2010, it submitted complementary information in support of this request.(3) The request set out that the originally granted total quantities for 2010 should respectively be increased to 3 600 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 1 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel.(4) The total annual quantities originally granted have contributed, in 2008 and 2009, to a significant extent to the improvement of the situation in the fishery processing sector and, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde’s artisanal fleet, which is of vital importance for that country. However, it appears that the completion of the envisaged revitalisation of the Cape Verdean fleet to the planned levels was affected by certain economic and geographical circumstances and thus further investments are needed.(5) The request demonstrates that in the absence of an increase of the quantities that may be traded under the derogation, the ability of the Cape Verdean fishing processing industry to continue its export to the European Union would be significantly affected, which might deter the further necessary investments.(6) An increase of the quantities of goods that may be traded under the derogation is therefore required to ensure that the revitalisation efforts of the local fishing fleet continue and thus improve its ability to supply the local fishery processing sector with originating fish.(7) The existing quotas are expected to be exhausted for the two categories of products concerned far before the end of 2010, which further justifies the need for an increase in the quantities granted for 2010. However, it does not appear appropriate to fully meet the amounts requested. In particular, account should be taken of the fact that there are already significant sourcing possibilities in originating fish as supplies from local vessels and bilateral cumulation can be used.(8) The quantities of the derogation for 2010 should therefore be raised to 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and to 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets, which quantities are considered to be sufficient to allow the processing industry of Cape Verde to continue its exports to the European Union and support the efforts of the local authorities in ensuring that the revitalisation efforts of the local fishing fleet continue successfully.(9) Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 January 2010.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

28666,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1419/2004 of 4 August 2004 on the continuation of the application of the Multiannual Financing Agreements and the Annual Financing Agreements concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Community, on the one hand and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia on the other, and providing for certain derogations from the Multiannual Financing Agreements and from Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Treaty of Accession, and in particular Article 41 thereof,Whereas:(1) Multiannual Financing Agreements (MAFAs) and Annual Financing Agreements (AFAs) were concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Community, on the one hand and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’) on the other.(2) In areas falling within the scope of the EU Treaty, the relationship between the new Member States and the EU, as of 1 May 2004, when these States acceded to the EU, is governed by EU law. In principle, bilateral agreements, without any particular legal acts being necessary, continue to apply as far as they do not contradict obligatory EU law in general and Community law in particular. In certain areas, the MAFAs and AFAs provide for rules which are different from Community law whilst not being contrary to any binding provisions. However, it is appropriate to foresee that in respect of Sapard the new Member States should, as far as possible, follow the same rules as those which apply to any other areas of Community law.(3) It is therefore appropriate to provide for the continuation of the applicability of the MAFAs and AFAs subject to certain derogations and amendments. At the same time, certain provisions are no longer needed given the fact that the Community is no longer dealing with third countries but with Member States and that the new Member States will be directly submitted to provisions under Community law. Such MAFA provisions should therefore no longer apply.(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on coordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 (1) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (2) have been the legal bases for the Commission to confer the management of aid under the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard) on implementing agencies in the applicant countries, on a case-by-case basis. The MAFAs were concluded based on that possibility. However, in relation to Member States, Community law does not require a conferral of management procedure but an accreditation procedure at national level for paying agencies, referred to in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3). The MAFAs provide basically for an identical accreditation procedure in their Article 4 of Section A of the Annex. With regard to Member States there is, therefore, no longer a need to provide for a conferral of the management of aid. Therefore, derogation from these provisions is appropriate.(5) On 3 March 2004 the Commission decided on the conclusion of a new Agreement for the year 2003 amending the AFAs 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the MAFA with the applicant countries. Meanwhile, the new Member States have joined the EU and there is no room for the conclusion of further bilateral agreements between the EU and these States in areas falling within the competences of the EU. Rather than concluding bilateral agreements with these States, the Commission should therefore include the substance of these envisaged agreements in this Regulation. In particular, the amounts committed in view of the AFA 2003 and decided upon by the Commission in that decision should now be incorporated in the present Regulation.(6) To allow a smooth transition from the pre-accession requirements, it is appropriate to provide for immediate entry into force and, with regard to certain provisions, a retrospective application of this Regulation.(7) The Treaty of Accession enables the Commission to adopt transitional measures for a period of three years as of the date of accession. Given the fact that certain programmes under the MAFAs/AFAs may still continue after accession it is appropriate to provide for the applicability of this Regulation until 30 April 2007.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and of the Committee of the European Agriculture Guarantee and Guidance Fund,. Continuation of the applicability of the MAFAs and the AFAs after accession1.   Without prejudice to the continuation of the validity of the Multiannual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘MAFAs’) and the Annual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘AFAs’), as listed in Annex I, concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Community, on the one hand and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’) on the other, these Agreements shall continue to apply subject to the provisions of this Regulation.2.   Articles 2 and 4 of the MAFAs shall cease to apply.3.   The following provisions of the Annex to the MAFAs shall cease to apply:(a) Articles 1 and 3 of Section A; however, any references to these Articles in the MAFAs or AFAs shall be construed as referring to the national accreditation decision in accordance with Article 4 of Section A;(b) Article 14(2.6) and (2.7) of Section A;(c) Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 of Section C;(d) Item 8 of Section F;(e) Section G.4.   Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 shall no longer apply to the new Member States with regard to the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard). Derogations from MAFA provisions and from Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000By way of derogation from the last subparagraph of Article 4(7) and Article 5(4) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs and Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission shall immediately be informed of any modifications in the implementation or paying arrangements of the Sapard Agency after its accreditation. Amendment of the MAFAsThe following subparagraph is added to Article 10(3) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs:‘However, interest not accounted for by projects assisted under the programme of Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, respectively, shall be paid to the Commission in euro’. Amendment of Article 3 of AFAs 2000 to 2003The amount provided for in Article 2 of the AFA 2003 for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, respectively, shall be replaced by the amounts referred to in Annex II. Amendment of Article 3 of AFAs 2000 to 2003At the end of Article 3 of each of the AFAs, the following subparagraph is added:‘Any part of the Community contribution referred to in Article 2 for which no contracts with the final beneficiaries have been signed as of the date referred to in the second subparagraph shall be notified to the Commission within three months of this amount being known’. Entry into forceThis Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply as of its entry into force and shall continue to apply until 30 April 2007.

However the virus is still present in parts of the Community.(5) In addition, the effectiveness of the measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 is influenced by a combination of factors. Those factors include the vector species, climate conditions and the type of husbandry of the susceptible ruminants.(6) It is therefore appropriate to continue to apply the transitional measure set out in Article 9a of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007, taking into account that the disease situation is not stable and still evolving.

The application was found to be complete and the period for the Commission's assessment of the application started on the day following the date of official receipt, i.e. 31 January 2014.(2) The application has been assessed in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 and the Technical Guidelines for the preparation of applications for the approval of innovative technologies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 (the Technical Guidelines) (3).(3) The application refers to the DENSO efficient alternator, for the output classes of 150A, 180A, and 210A. The alternator has an efficiency of at least 77 per cent as determined in accordance with the VDA approach described in point 5.1.2 in Annex I to the Technical Guidelines. That approach makes reference to the testing methodology specified in the International standard ISO 8854:2012 (4). The Applicant's alternator has an increased efficiency compared to the baseline alternator by reducing the following three losses: rectification losses by optimising the rectification by the use of a ‘MOSFET module’, i.e. by a use of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor; stator iron losses by the use of thin laminated core made by magnetic steel, and stator copper losses by the use of a ‘segment conductor’, which has higher space factor and shorter coil end. This technology is therefore different from the Valeo Efficient Generation Alternator approved as an eco-innovation by Commission Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU (5).(4) The Commission finds that the information provided in the application demonstrates that the conditions and criteria referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and in Articles 2 and 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 have been met.(5) The Applicant has demonstrated that a high efficiency alternator of the kind described in this application did not exceed 3 % of the new passenger cars registered in the reference year 2009.(6) In order to determine the CO2 savings that the innovative technology will deliver when fitted to a vehicle, it is necessary to define the baseline vehicle against which the efficiency of the vehicle equipped with the innovative technology should be compared as provided for in Articles 5 and 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011. The Commission finds that it is appropriate to consider an alternator with 67 % efficiency as an appropriate baseline technology in the case the innovative technology is fitted on a new vehicle type. Where the DENSO efficient alternator is fitted to an existing vehicle type, the baseline technology should be the alternator of the most recent version of that type placed on the market.(7) The Applicant has provided a methodology for testing the CO2 reductions which includes formulae that are consistent with the formulae described in the Technical Guidelines for the simplified approach with regard to efficient alternators. The Commission considers that the testing methodology will provide testing results that are verifiable, repeatable and comparable and that it is capable of demonstrating in a realistic manner the CO2 emissions benefits of the innovative technology with strong statistical significance in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.(8) The Commission notes that the Applicant in its methodology has used a formula for calculating the standard deviation of the efficiency value of the alternator which increases the accuracy of the result as compared to the formula (1) in the methodology specified in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU. The Applicant's testing methodology and formulae to calculate the CO2 savings are in all other respects identical to the methodology specified in that Implementing Decision. As a consequence, the Commission considers that the methodology specified in Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU should be used to determine the reduction in CO2 emissions due to the use of the DENSO efficient alternator. However, in view of the improved accuracy due to the standard deviation calculation proposed by Denso, it is appropriate to adjust formula (1) set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU. The adjustment should not affect any CO2 savings certified using the methodology laid down in Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU prior to the entry into force of this Implementing Decision.(9) Against that background the Commission finds that the Applicant has demonstrated satisfactorily that the emission reduction achieved by the innovative technology is at least 1 g CO2/km.(10) The Commission notes that the savings of the innovative technology may be partially demonstrated on the standard test cycle, and the final total savings to be certified should therefore be determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.(11) The Commission finds that the verification report has been prepared by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) which is an independent and certified body and that the report supports the findings set out in the application.(12) Against that background, the Commission finds that no objections should be raised as regards the approval of the innovative technology in question.(13) For the purposes of determining the general eco-innovation code to be used in the relevant type approval documents in accordance with Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the individual code to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Implementing Decision should be specified,(14) Any manufacturer wishing to benefit from a reduction of its average specific CO2 emissions for the purpose of meeting its specific emissions target by means of the CO2 savings from the use of the innovative technology approved by this Implementing Decision, should in accordance with Article 11(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, refer to this Implementing Decision in its application for an EC type-approval certificate for the vehicles concerned,. 1.   The DENSO efficient alternator having an efficiency of at least 77 per cent by reducing three different losses and intended for use in M1 vehicles is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.2.   The CO2 emissions reduction from the use of the alternator referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined using the methodology set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU.3.   In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, the CO2 emission reduction determined in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, may only be certified and entered into the certificate of conformity and relevant type approval documentation specified in Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC where the reductions are on or above the threshold specified in Article 9(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.4.   The individual eco-innovation code to be entered into type approval documentation to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Implementing Decision shall be ‘6’. Amendment to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU1.   In Section 2 of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU, the formula (1) is replaced by the following formula:‘’2.   The amendment shall not affect certifications performed in accordance with Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 prior to the entry into force of this Implementing Decision.

41194,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 394/2012 of 8 May 2012 fixing the quantitative limit for exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2012/2013 marketing year. ,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 61, first paragraph, point (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) According to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar or isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.(2) Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (2). However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.(3) For certain Union producers of sugar and isoglucose, exports from the Union represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Union. Exports of sugar and isoglucose to those markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose exports so that the EU producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets.(4) For the 2012/2013 marketing year it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit initially at 650 000 tonnes, in white sugar equivalent, for out-of-quota sugar exports and 70 000 tonnes, in dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose would correspond to the market demand.(5) Exports of sugar from the Union to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Union products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particularly favourable competitive position. In view of the absence of appropriate instruments of mutual assistance to fight against irregularities and in order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the reimport or reintroduction into the Union of out-of-quota sugar, certain close destinations should be excluded from the eligible destinations.(6) In view of the estimated lower risks for eventual frauds regarding isoglucose due to the nature of the product it is not necessary to restrict the eligible destinations for the export of out-of-quota isoglucose.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. Fixing the quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar exports1.   For the 2012/2013 marketing year, running from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013, the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be 650 000 tonnes for exports without refund of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99.2.   Exports within the quantitative limit fixed in paragraph 1 shall be allowed for all destinations excluding:(a) third countries: Andorra, Liechtenstein, the Holy See (Vatican City State), San Marino, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (3), Montenegro, Albania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;(b) territories of Member States not forming part of the customs territory of the Union: the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Heligoland, Ceuta, Melilla, the communes of Livigno and Campione d’Italia, and the areas of the Republic of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control;(c) European territories for whose external relations a Member State is responsible, not forming part of the customs territory of the Union: Gibraltar.
