24787,"Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/2002 of 10 December 2002 concerning Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (2003-2004). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),Whereas:(1) The International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ""the Fund"") was established in 1986 by the Agreement of 18 September 1986 between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ""the Agreement"") in order to promote economic and social advance, and to encourage contact, dialogue and reconciliation between nationalists and unionists throughout Ireland, in implementation of one of the objectives specified by the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 15 November 1985.(2) The sum of ECU 15 million a year has been provided from the Community budget from 1989 until 1995 to support projects of the Fund which have a genuine additional impact in the areas concerned.(3) Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 2687/94 of 31 October 1994 on Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland(2), the sum of ECU 20 million was committed from the Community budget for each of the years 1995, 1996 and 1997.(4) Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 2614/97 of 15 December 1997 on Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland(3), the sum of ECU 17 million was committed from the Community budget for each of the years 1998 and 1999.(5) Pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 214/2000 of 24 January 2000 on Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland(4), the sum of EUR 15 million was committed from the Community budget for each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002.(6) The assessments carried out in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 214/2000 have confirmed the need for further support for Fund activities, while reinforcing synergy of objectives and coordination with Community Structural Funds interventions, in particular with the Special Programme for Peace and Reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland (hereinafter ""the PEACE Programme"").(7) Regulation (EC) No 214/2000 expires on 31 December 2002.(8) The peace process in Northern Ireland requires a continuation of Community support to the Fund beyond that date.(9) At its meeting in Berlin on 24 and 25 March 1999, the European Council decided that the PEACE Programme should be continued for five years, that is to say, from 2000 until 2004, with a total Community contribution of EUR 500 million.(10) The Community contribution to the Fund should take the form of financial contributions for the years 2003 and 2004, thus terminating at the same time as the PEACE programme.(11) In allocating the Community contribution, the Fund should give priority to projects of a cross-border or cross-community nature, in such a way as to complement the activities funded by the PEACE programme for the period 2000 to 2004.(12) In accordance with the Agreement, all financial contributors to the Fund participate as observers at the meetings of the Fund's Board (hereinafter ""the Board"").(13) It is vital to ensure proper coordination between the activities of the Fund and those financed under the Community Structural Funds provided for by Article 159 of the Treaty, in particular the PEACE programme.(14) Assistance from the Fund will be regarded as effective only in so far as it brings about sustainable economic and social improvement and is not used as a substitute for other public or private expenditure.(15) An assessment reviewing the performance of the Fund and the need for further Community support should be carried out before 1 April 2004.(16) A financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure(5) is included in this Regulation for the entire duration of the programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty. The amount of the Community contribution to the Fund should be EUR 15 million for each of the years 2003 and 2004, expressed in current values.(17) That support will contribute to reinforcing solidarity between the Member States and between their peoples.(18) The Treaty provides for no powers other than those in Article 308 thereof for the adoption of this Regulation,. Subject to the annual budget procedure and in accordance with the second paragraph of point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure, an annual contribution of EUR 15 million shall be made to the Fund for each of the years 2003 and 2004, amounting to a total contribution of EUR 30 million.

The Commission shall foster coordination at all levels between the Fund's Board and agents, and the managing bodies set up under the Community Structural Funds interventions concerned, in particular under the PEACE programme. The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Board, determine appropriate publicity and information procedures in order to publicise the Community's contribution to the projects financed by the Fund. By 31 March 2004 at the latest, the Commission shall submit a report to the budgetary authority, assessing the results of the activities of the Fund and the need for continuing contributions beyond 2004, taking into account developments in the peace process in Northern Ireland. That report shall incorporate, inter alia, the following:(a) a survey of the Fund's activities;(b) a list of projects which have received aid;(c) an assessment of the nature and impact of the Fund's activities, notably in relation to its objectives and the criteria laid down in Articles 2 and 8;(d) an assessment of action taken by the Fund as regards cooperation and coordination with Community Structural Funds interventions, taking account, in particular, of obligations under Articles 3, 4 and 5;(e) an annex setting out the results of the verifications and controls carried out by the Commission pursuant to the undertaking referred to in Article 7. The Commission shall administer the contributions.Subject to an assessment of the Fund's financial needs, the annual contribution shall normally be paid in instalments as follows:(a) a first advance payment of 40 % shall be made after the Commission has received an undertaking, signed by the Chairman of the Board, to the effect that the Fund will comply with the conditions attaching, in accordance with this Regulation, to the grant of the contribution;(b) a second advance payment of 40 % shall be made six months later;(c) a final payment of 20 % shall be made after the Commission has received and accepted the Fund's annual activity report and audited accounts for the year in question.If the assessment referred to in the second subparagraph leads to the conclusion that, at the material date, the Fund's financial needs do not justify payment of one of those instalments, the payment concerned shall be suspended until such time as the Commission concludes, on the basis of new information provided by the Fund, that it is justified. The contribution referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to the condition that, in the case of an operation which receives or is due to receive financial assistance under a Community Structural Funds intervention, a contribution from the Fund may be allocated to that operation only if the sum arrived at when the figure representing 40 % of the amount of the Fund's contribution is added to the figure representing the amount of assistance from the Community Structural Funds does not exceed 75 % of the operation's total eligible costs.

Member States shall not authorise the use, for the protection of foodstuffs intended for human consumption (hereinafter called ""foodstuffs"") against deterioration caused by oxidation, such as fat deterioration and colour changes in foodstuffs caused  (1)OJ No L 291, 19.12.1969, p. 9.by autoxidation, of any substances other than those listed in Parts I to III of the Annex to this Directive which may, if necessary, be dissolved in or diluted with the substances listed in Part IV of the Annex. By way of derogation from Article 1, Member States may, for a period of three years following notification of this Directive, maintain the provisions of their national laws authorising the use in foodstuffs of synthetic beta-tocopherol, calcium disodium ethylene diamine tetra-acetate, propyl gallate and L-ascorbic acid esters of the unbranched fatty acids C14 and C18.Before expiry of the period set in paragraph 1 the Council may, under Article 100 of the Treaty, act on a proposal for a Directive authorising the inclusion in the Annex to this Directive of the substances referred to in paragraph 1.The decision to include those substances in the Annex to this Directive may be taken only if, after scientific investigation, they are proved harmless to human health and if their use is necessary for economic reasons. 1. Where the use in foodstuffs of one of the substances listed in the Annex, or the level of one or more of the components referred to in Article 4 contained in such substances, might endanger human health, a Member State may, for a maximum period of one year, suspend the authorisation to use that substance or reduce the maximum authorised level of one or more of the components in question. It shall inform the Commission thereof forthwith and the Commission shall consult the Member States.2. The Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, shall decide without delay whether the list in the Annex should be amended, and, if so, adopt by directive the necessary amendments. The Council, acting by a qualified majority, on a proposal from the Commission, may also, if necessary, extend for a maximum of one year the period set in the first sentence of paragraph 1. The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the substances listed in the Annex and intended for use in foodstuffs satisfy:    (a) the following general criteria of purity:      - they must contain not more than 3 milligrams per kilogramme of arsenic and not more than 10 milligrams per kilogramme of lead;- they must contain not more than 50 milligrams per kilogramme of copper and zinc taken together, of which the zinc content must not be higher than 25 milligrams per kilogramme, always subject however to any exceptions implicit in the specific criteria referred to in subparagraph (b);- they must not contain any measurable trace of toxicologically dangerous elements, in particular other heavy metals, always subject however to any exceptions implicit in the specific criteria referred to in subparagraph (b);(b) the specific criteria of purity laid down in accordance with Article 5 (1). 1. The Council shall, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, lay down by directive the specific criteria of purity for the substances listed in Parts I to III or IV (4) to (7) of the Annex to this Directive.2. The procedure laid down in Article 6 shall be used to determine:    - the methods of analysis needed to verify that the general and specific criteria of purity referred to in Article 4 are satisfied;- the procedure for taking samples and the methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of antioxidants in and on foodstuffs. 1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be followed, matters shall be referred by the Chairman either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State, to the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs (hereinafter called the ""Committee"") set up by Council Decision of 13 November 1969.2.

Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to 3 years, for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection products in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.(3) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 28 March 2001.(4) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC, read in conjunction with Commission Decision 2008/564/EC (3).(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on a possible inclusion in Annex I to that Directive for profoxydim will have been completed within 24 months.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing profoxydim for a period ending on 30 June 2012 at the latest. This Decision shall expire on 30 June 2012.

131,"78/295/ECSC: Commission Decision of 1 March 1978 approving aids from the French Republic to the coal-mining industry during the year 1977. ,Having regard to Commission Decision 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coal-mining industry (1),Having consulted the Council,IWhereas the French Government has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the above Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of the coal industry during 1977 ; whereas of these measures the following may be approved pursuant to that Decision;Whereas the French Government intends to grant to Charbonnages de France for 1977 aid amounting to FF 2 080 200 000, to permit the economic restructuring of the coalfields to proceed in an appropriate manner;Whereas the French Government also proposes to grant to the central administration of Charbonnages de France in 1977 aid amounting to FF 196 000 000 to cover the charges incurred in borrowing and transferred from the pits to the central administration of Charbonnages de France under the French Government's financial restructuring scheme ; whereas this aid is paid not to the coalfields but only to the central administration of Charbonnages de France;Whereas the abovementioned aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;Whereas the aid of FF 2 276 200 000 proposed by the French Government for 1977 to cover losses (of which FF 2 080 200 000 is to cover the coalfields' losses on mining and FF 196 000 000 to cover the losses sustained by the central administration of Charbonnages de France) will not be higher than the likely operating losses of Charbonnages de France;    1. Whereas, as regards the individual coalfields, the Nord/Pas-de-Calais and Centre-Midi coalfields are to receive aid to cover losses in respect of 1977 which will be far from covering losses on mining in these fields, since they will still incur relatively high realasset losses even with the aid ; whereas these realassest losses are the result of pit closures ; whereas in 1977 six coking plants, briquette works and pits are likely to be closed in the coalfields, affecting some 2 000 employees ; whereas planning for production in these fields calls for further cutbacks combined with measures to redeploy redundant miners, in order to avoid severe economic and social disturbances in these areas where the provision of other jobs is still inadequate ; whereas the aids for these coalfields therefore comply with the first subparagraph of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (2) of the Decision;  (1) OJ No L 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1.2. Whereas the aid to cover losses in the Lorraine field will probably not fully cover losses incurred on mining but will largely do so ; whereas no pits will be closed in this coalfield in 1977 ; whereas production from this field should as far as possible be kept up, since coking coal is imported for supplying the steel industry ; whereas consequently the amount and purpose of the aid comply with the second subparagraph of Article 12 (1) of the Decision;IIWhereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, the examination of the compatibility of the proposed aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in 1977;Whereas for 1977 the sum of all these aids to support current production by the French coal industry is 415 000 000 European units of account, or 19 777 European units of account per tonne ; whereas this is higher than corresponding German and United Kingdom aids but lower than Belgian aid;Whereas the following points must be made about the compatibility of the proposed aid with the proper functioning of the common market:      - there were no supply difficulties on the French coal market in 1977,- French coal exports to other Community countries fell in 1977 compared with 1976,- hardly any price alignment agreements were entered into for French coal in 1977,- industrial consumers of coal were not directly aided in 1977 through the prices of French coking coal and steam coal,- the closure of marginal pits in the Nord/Pas-de-Calais and Centre-Midi coalfields results in rationalization and the concentration of production on pits where productivity is highest;Whereas it may accordingly be concluded that the aids proposed in 1977 for current production by the French coal industry are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;Whereas this holds good even when account is taken of aids to coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;IIIWhereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must satisfy itself that the approved aids are used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 of that Decision ; whereas consequently the Commission is to be notified in particular of the amount of the aid and the manner in which it is apportioned,. The Government of the French Republic is authorized to grant to the French coal industry the following aids for 1977:    (a) an amount not exceeding FF 2 080 200 000 to cover losses on mining;(b) an amount not exceeding FF 196 000 000 to cover the financial losses sustained by the central administration of Charbonnages de France.The aids referred to in (a) and (b) above shall not exceed actual losses. The French Republic shall notify the Commission by 31 May 1978 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.

3411,"85/103/EEC: Commission Decision of 21 December 1984 authorizing certain Member States to renew intra- Community surveillance of certain textile products originating in the People's Republic of China (Only the German, English, French, Greek, Italian and Dutch texts are authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,Whereas Decision 80/47/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;Whereas the Community negotiated an Agreement with the People's Republic of China on trade in certain textile products in 1979 and has subsequently negotiated a supplementary Protocol to that Agreement; whereas the Community and China have decided that the provisions of the Protocol shall apply in full from 1 January 1984 until 31 December 1988;Whereas, in order to implement the provisions of the Agreement, as amended by the abovementioned supplementary Protocol, Council Regulation (EEC) No 2072/84 instituted common rules for imports of the textile products covered by the Agreement (2);Whereas, under these rules, imports into the Community of these textile products are subject to quantitative restrictions; whereas there are still disparities in the conditions applied by the Member States to these imports;Whereas these disparities could cause deflections of trade;Whereas, by Decision 84/61/EEC of 25 January 1984 (3) and Decision of 22 February 1984 (not published) (4), the Commission authorized certain Member States, pursuant to Article 2 of the abovementioned Decision 80/47/EEC, to establish intra-Community surveillance of certain textile products covered by the Agreement with China until 31 December 1984;Whereas the Member States in question have asked the Commission for authorization to extend intra-Community surveillance beyond 31 December 1984;Whereas the circumstances which motivated the Commission to take those Decisions - deflection of trade in the textile products concerned, threatening to exacerbate or prolong the economic problems of the Member States in question - still persist;Whereas the Member States in question should therefore be authorized, by virtue of the first paragraph of Article 115 of the Treaty, to renew intra-Community surveillance of imports originating in China covered by the abovementioned Commission Decisions;Whereas such authorization should extend only until 30 June 1985, the date of expiry of Commission Decision 83/326/EEC (5), to permit a full review of products subject to intra-Community surveillance in the various Member States,.

As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.(3) Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.(4) Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.(6) Accordingly, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.(7) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/100/EU (4) should be confirmed following consultation of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Poland shall ensure that the infected area established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC comprise at least the territories listed in the Annex to this Decision.

35163,"2008/580/EC: Council Decision of 23 June 2008 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects outside the Community (South-eastern neighbours, Mediterranean countries, Latin America and Asia and the Republic of South Africa) (Codified version). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 181a thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Whereas:(1) Council Decision 2000/24/EC of 22 December 1999 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects outside the Community (Central and Eastern Europe, Mediterranean countries, Latin America and Asia and the Republic of South Africa) (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.(2) The European Council meeting in Madrid on 15 and 16 December 1995 confirmed the importance of the European Investment Bank, hereinafter referred to as ‘the EIB’, as an instrument of cooperation between the Community and Latin America and called on the EIB to intensify its activities in the region. These projects should be of interest to both the Community and the countries concerned.(3) The European Council meeting in Florence on 21 and 22 June 1996 welcomed the results of the Asia-Europe summit, which marked a turning-point in relations between the two continents.(4) The European Council meeting in Amsterdam on 16 and 17 June 1997 welcomed the conclusions adopted at the Second Euro-Mediterranean Conference, which was held at Valletta, Malta, on 15 and 16 April 1997 and reaffirmed the principles and objectives agreed at Barcelona in 1995.(5) The European Council meeting in Luxembourg on 12 and 13 December 1997 launched the enlargement process with the Central and Eastern European countries and Cyprus.(6) The European Council meeting in Cardiff on 15 and 16 June 1998 welcomed the efforts which the Republic of South Africa was making to modernise its economy and integrate it into the world trading system.(7) The EIB is completing the current loan programmes for Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean region, Asia and Latin America and the Republic of South Africa pursuant to Decision 97/256/EC (4), as well as the lending that is governed by the Protocol on Financial Cooperation with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, according to Decision 98/348/EC (5).(8) The Council has invited the EIB to start operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These operations have continued, following the positive report (6) drawn up as stipulated in Council Decision 98/729/EC (7).(9) Although Bosnia and Herzegovina and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have been included in the Central and Eastern Europe region since the adoption of Decision 97/256/EC, the EIB’s total lending effort to applicant countries within this region should increase given the importance of the pre-accession facility the EIB plans to create for EIB lending for projects in these countries without a guarantee from the Community budget or Member States.(10) In these circumstances, the EIB should ensure that its guaranteed lending within the Central and Eastern Europe mandate will finance particularly projects in those countries which have fewer projects suitable for financing from the pre-accession facility or projects in non-applicant countries.(11) The Cooperation Agreements between the European Community and Nepal, between the European Community and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and between the European Community and Yemen entered into force on 1 June 1996, 1 December 1997 and on 1 July 1998 respectively. The Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and South Korea was signed on 28 October 1996. Nepal, Yemen, Laos and South Korea should become beneficiaries of EIB funding under the EIB’s mandate for Asia and Latin America.(12) It is appropriate to make certain improvements in the programmes of operations in respect of duration and country coverage. It is appropriate to adjust the blanket guarantee rate and the portion of lending for which the EIB is invited to cover the commercial risk from non-sovereign guarantees.(13) The Council is calling on the EIB to continue its operations in support of investment projects carried out in those countries by offering it the guarantee provided for in this Decision.(14) In June 1996, the Commission, in agreement with the EIB, presented to the Council a proposal for a new guarantee system for EIB lending to third countries.(15) On 2 December 1996 the Council approved conclusions on new guarantee arrangements for EIB lending to third countries, according to which the approach of a global guarantee, without distinguishing between the regions and projects, is approved and a risk-sharing scheme accepted. Under the current risk-sharing scheme the budgetary guarantee should cover political risks arising from currency non transfer, expropriation, war or civil disturbance and denial of justice upon breach of certain contracts by the third-country government or other authorities.(16) Under the risk-sharing scheme, the EIB should secure commercial risks by means of non-sovereign third-party guarantees or by means of any other security or collateral as well as relying on the financial strength of the debtor, in accordance with its usual criteria.(17) The guarantee arrangements should not affect the excellent credit standing of the EIB.(18) Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1149/1999 (8) revised the target amount and the provisioning rate for the Loan Guarantee Fund established by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 (9).(19) The financial perspective for the period 2000 to 2006 according to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (10) envisages a ceiling for the loan guarantee reserve in the Community budget of EUR 200 million (at 1999 prices) per annum.(20) EIB financing in eligible third countries should be managed, in accordance with the EIB’s usual criteria and procedures, including appropriate control measures, as well as with the relevant rules and procedures concerning the Court of Auditors and OLAF, in such a way as to support Community policies and to enhance coordination with the Community’s other financial instruments. There is regular consultation between the EIB and the Commission to ensure coordination of priorities and activities in these countries and to measure progress towards the fulfilment of the Community’s relevant policy objectives. The setting and periodic review of the operation objectives and the measurement of their fulfilment are the responsibility of the EIB’s Board of Directors. In particular, EIB financing in the candidate countries should reflect the priorities established in the accession partnerships between the Community and those countries. Thus the transparency of the EIB lending under this Decision should be substantially enhanced. Hence, the Commission has reported on the application of Decision 2000/24/EC (11).(21) Close cooperation between the EIB and the Commission should ensure consistency and synergy with the European Union’s geographical cooperation programmes and ensure that the EIB loan operations complement and strengthen the European Union’s policies for those regions.(22) The Community guarantee covering the special earthquake facility for Turkey under Council Decision 1999/786/EC (12) continues to take the form of an extension of the global guarantee under this Decision.(23) The EIB and the Commission should adopt the procedures for granting the guarantee,. 1.   The Community shall grant the European Investment Bank (EIB) a global guarantee in respect of all payments not received by it but due in respect of credits opened, in accordance with its usual criteria, and in support of the Community’s relevant external policy objectives, for investment projects carried out in the South-eastern neighbours, the Mediterranean countries, Latin America and Asia and the Republic of South Africa.This guarantee shall be restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened shall be equivalent to EUR 19 460 million, broken down as follows:— south-eastern neighbours:— Mediterranean countries:— Latin America and Asia:— Republic of South Africa:— special action supporting the consolidation and intensification of the EC-Turkey Customs Union:and may be used by 31 January 2007 at the latest. The credits already signed shall be taken into account as a deduction from the regional ceilings.The Commission shall report on the application of this Decision at the latest six months before any new accession treaties enter into force, and make proposals for amendments of this Decision if appropriate. The Council will discuss and act on any proposal with effect from the date of entry into force of any new accession treaty.If, on expiry of the guaranteed lending period on 31 January 2007, the loans granted by the EIB have not attained the overall amounts referred to in the second subparagraph, this period shall be automatically extended by six months.2.   The countries covered by paragraph 1 are:— South-eastern neighbours: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey,— Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Gaza-West Bank,— Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela,— Asia: Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Yemen,— Republic of South Africa.3.   The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending under this Decision from non-sovereign guarantees as far as possible on an individual regional mandate basis. This percentage shall be expanded upon whenever possible in so far as the market permits. The Commission shall inform the European Parliament and the Council each year of the loan operations and progress made on risk-sharing under Article 1(3) and shall, at the same time, submit an assessment of the operation of the scheme and of coordination between the financial institutions operating in that area. The Commission information submitted to the European Parliament and the Council shall include an assessment of the contribution of the lending under this Decision to the fulfilment of the Community’s relevant external policy objectives, taking into account the operational objectives and appropriate measurements of their fulfilment to be established by the EIB for lending under this Decision.For the purposes referred to in the first paragraph, the EIB shall transmit to the Commission the appropriate information. The EIB and the Commission shall fix the terms on which the guarantee is to be given. Decision 2000/24/EC, as amended by the Decisions listed in Annex I, is repealed.References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

20834,"2001/468/EC: Commission Decision of 8 June 2001 authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in Italy (notified under document number C(2001) 1568). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcasses(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3513/93(4), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcasses must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcass. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance has been defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcasses(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3127/94(6).(2) The Commission, by Decision 89/53/EEC(7), as amended by Decision 89/602/EEC(8), has authorised different methods for grading pig carcasses in Italy.(3) The Italian Government has requested the Commission to authorise the use of only two methods for calculating the lean meat content of carcasses in Italy: ""Fat-O-Meater"" and ""Hennessy Grading Probe"". The information required pursuant to Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 has been submitted. The evaluation of the request has shown that the conditions for authorising the said methods of grading are fulfilled.(4) Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcasses different to the standard presentations defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements so warrant.(5) In Italy the traditions in carcass presentation, and consequently, commercial practice, necessitate that carcasses can be presented with the flare fat and/or kidneys and/or diaphragm. This should be taken into account in adjusting to the weight for standard presentation. A uniform Italian carcass presentation should be adopted before end of 2003.(6) For the sake of clarity, a new decision should be adopted. Decision 89/53/EEC should therefore be repealed.(7) No adjustments to grading methods may be authorised except by means of a Commission decision adopted in the light of experience gained.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Italy:- the apparatus termed ""Fat-O-Meater"" (FOM) and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,- the apparatus termed ""Hennessy Grading Probe"" and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex. Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, pig carcasses may be presented with kidnyeys and/or diaphragm and/or flare fat during weighing and grading. In order to establish quotations for pig carcass on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be corrected by the following equation:>PIC FILE= ""L_2001163EN.003201.TIF"">where:Y= carcass weight as defined by Regulation (EC) No 3513/93X= carcass weight when being weigheda1 and a2= correction percentages, respectively, left or removed from the carcass:- for kidneys, equivalent to 0,30 %- for diaphragm, equivalent to 0,38 %- for flare fat, equivalent to:- 1,4 % (carcass weight from 70 to 79,9 kg),- 1,8 % (carcass weight from 80 to 89,9 kg),- 1,9 % (carcass weight from 90 to 99,9 kg),- 2,4 % (carcass weight from 100 to 110 kg),- 1,6 % (carcass weight from 110,1 to 120 kg),- 2,3 % (carcass weight from 120,1 to 130 kg),- 2,8 % (carcass weight from 130,1 to 140 kg),- 3,4 % (carcass weight from 140,1 to 150 kg),- 3,6 % (carcass weight more than 150 kg).However, Italy shall adopt a uniform carcass presentation of pig carcasses before 31 December 2003.

On 19 August 2008 Kenya submitted additional information relating to its request. The request covers a total quantity of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins of HS heading 1604. The request is made because catches and supply of originating raw tuna have decreased in the Indian Ocean.(2) According to the information provided by Kenya catches of raw originating tuna are unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations and have led to a decrease in production of tuna loins. This abnormal situation makes it impossible for Kenya to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period.(3) In order to ensure that Kenya may continue its exports to the European Community, following the expiration of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (2), a new derogation should be granted.(4) To ensure smooth transition from the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement to the Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the East African Community partner States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part (EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement), a new derogation should be granted with retroactive effect from 1 January 2008.(5) A temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 would not cause serious injury to an established Community industry taking into account the imports concerned, provided that certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration are respected.(6) It is therefore justified to grant a temporary derogation under Article 36(1)(a) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007.(7) Kenya will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for tuna loins of HS heading 1604 pursuant to Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, when that Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied.(8) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations from them are to be superseded by the rules of the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the entry into force or provisional application of which is expected to take place in 2008. The derogation should therefore apply until 31 December 2008, as requested by Kenya, unless the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement enters into force or is applied provisionally before that date.(9) In accordance with Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the automatic derogation from the rules of origin is limited to an annual quota of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for the countries having initialled the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ruanda, Burundi). Kenya is the only country in the region that currently exports tuna loins to the Community. It is therefore appropriate to grant to Kenya a derogation under Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins, quantity which does not exceed the full annual quota granted to the EAC region under the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement.(10) Accordingly a derogation should be granted to Kenya in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for a period of one year.(11) 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 (3) lays down rules relating to the management of tariff quotas. In order to ensure efficient management carried out in close cooperation between the authorities of Kenya, the customs authorities of the Member States and the Commission, those rules should apply mutatis mutandis to the quantities imported under the derogation granted by this Decision.(12) In order to allow efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Kenya should communicate regularly to the Commission details of the EUR.1 movement certificates issued.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. By way of derogation from Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 and in accordance with Article 36(1)(a) of that Annex, tuna loins of HS Heading 1604 manufactured from non-originating materials shall be regarded as originating in Kenya in accordance with the terms set out in Articles 2 to 6 of this Decision. The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to the products and the quantities set out in the Annex which are declared for free circulation into the Community from Kenya during the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008. The quantities set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The customs authorities of Kenya shall take the necessary measures to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.All the EUR.1 movement certificates they issue in relation to those products shall bear a reference to this Decision.The competent authorities of Kenya shall forward to the Commission a quarterly statement of the quantities in respect of which EUR.1 movement certificates have been issued pursuant to this Decision and the serial numbers of those certificates. Box 7 of EUR.1 movement certificates issued under this Decision shall contain the following:‘Derogation — Decision 2008/886/EC’. This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2008.It shall apply until the rules of origin set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 are superseded by those annexed to any agreement with Kenya when that agreement is either provisionally applied, or enters into force, whichever is the earlier, but in any event this Decision shall not apply after 31 December 2008.

16126,"97/355/EC: Commission Decision of 9 June 1997 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China. ,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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:I. PROCEDURE(1) In March 1996, the Commission received a complaint concerning alleged injurious dumping by imports of certain briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China.(2) The complaint was lodged by Cedim (ComitĂŠ EuropĂŠen des Industries de la Maroquinerie), on behalf of Community producers whose collective output was alleged to represent a major proportion of Community production of briefcases and schoolbags.(3) The complaint contained evidence of dumping by the imports concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.(4) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain briefcases and schoolbags falling within CN codes 4202 12 11 and 4202 12 91 and originating in the People's Republic of China.(5) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.II. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING(6) In the course of the investigation Cedim informed the Commission, by letter of 19 March 1997, that it formally withdraw its complaint concerning imports of briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China. The Commission considered that a termination in this context would not be against the interest of the Community.(7) In these circumstances, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China should be terminated without the imposition of protective measures.(8) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.(9) Interested parties were informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and gave them the opportunity to comment. None of them raised any objection,. The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby terminated..

42783,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 817/2013 of 28 August 2013 amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards Octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3), Article 14 and Article 30(5) thereof,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.(2) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in food additives, food enzymes, flavourings, nutrients and their conditions of use.(3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (3) lays down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.(4) Those lists and the specifications may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.(5) An application for authorisation of the use of Octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic as an emulsifier in certain food categories and in flavourings was submitted on 12 November 2007 and has been made available to the Member States.(6) The European Food Safety Authority evaluated the safety of octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic, as emulsifier to be added to flavourings and certain other foodstuffs and expressed its opinion on 11 March 2010 (4). The Authority concluded that, based on the results of the available studies, the information on gum acacia itself and on other Octenyl succinic acid modified starches, the use of octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic as an emulsifier in foods at the proposed uses and use levels is not of a safety concern.(7) There is a technological need to use Octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic as an emulsifier in certain foodstuffs as well as an emulsifier in flavouring-oil emulsions which are added to a variety of foodstuffs as it has improved properties compared to existing emulsifiers. It is therefore appropriate to authorise the use of octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic in the food categories applied for and to assign number E 423 to that food additive.(8) The specifications for Octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic should be included in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 when it is included in the Union lists of food additives laid down in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 for the first time.(9) Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) 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 has opposed them,. Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.

In addition, the transfer or leasing operation may, at most, relate only to the difference between the total quantity of rights and the quantity applied for in respect of the said marketing year;(b) producers receiving rights:(i) must not have obtained from the national reserve the entire quantity of rights applied for in respect of the 1995 marketing year,or(ii) must have been the subject of a withdrawal of rights with effect from the 1995 marketing year under the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 giving rise to that withdrawal, of which they have been notified no earlier than 10 working days before the first deadline fixed by the United Kingdom for the notification of transfers and temporary leases in respect of the 1995 marketing year.2. As regards the 1996 marketing year(a) producers offering rights:the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested in respect of the 1996 marketing year. In addition, the transfer or leasing operation may, at most, relate only to the difference between the total quantity of rights and the quantity applied for in respect of the said marketing year;(b) producers receiving rights:(i) must not have obtained from the national reserve the entire quantity of rights applied for in respect of the 1996 marketing year,or(ii) must have been the subject of a withdrawal of rights with effect from the 1996 marketing year under the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 giving rise to that withdrawal, of which they have been notified no earlier than 10 working days before expiry of the first deadline set by the United Kingdom for the notification of transfers and temporary leases for the 1996 marketing year.

20649,"2001/67/EC: Commission Decision of 23 January 2001 amending Decision 95/328/EC establishing a health certification for fishery products from third countries which are not yet covered by a specific decision (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2001) 130). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and placing on the market of fishery products(1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Decision 95/328/EC of 25 July 1995 establishing health certification for fishery products from third countries, which are not yet covered by a specific decision(3), as last amended by Decision 98/739/EC(4), is valid until 31 December 2000.(2) Commission Decision 97/296/EC(5), as last amended by Decision 2001/66/EC(6), establishes the list of third countries from which the import of fishery products for human consumption is authorised. Part II of that list contains the third countries which are not yet covered by a specific Decision but which satisfy the requirements of Article 2(2) of Council Decision 95/408/EC(7), as last amended by Decision 2001/4/EC(8).(3) Under Decision 95/408/EC that list is valid until 31 December 2003, therefore the date of validity of certification should be amended to bring it in line with the date of validity of the provisional lists.(4) Furthermore, since Decision 97/296/EC provides that the import of aquaculture products shall only be authorised from countries also listed in Commission Decision 2000/159/EC(9), as last amended by Decision 2001/31/EC(10), the model of health certificate provided by Decision 95/328/EC should be amended to include the identification of the aquaculture products, when necessary. The model of health certificate should also be amended to bring it in line with the models of health certificates usually provided for fishery products imported from third countries covered by a specific Decision.(5) However, it is necessary to provide a transitional period for the updating of the model of health certificate.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,. 1. In Article 4 of Decision 95/328/EC the words ""to 31 December 2000"" are replaced by ""to 31 December 2003"".2. The Annex to the present Decision replaces the Annex to Decision 95/328/EC.

16075,"97/258/ECSC: Commission Decision of 18 December 1996 concerning aid for closures envisaged by Italy as part of the restructuring of its private steel industry (Only the Italian text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,Having regard to Commission Decision No 3855/91/ECSC of 27 November 1991 establishing Community rules for aid to the steel industry (1),After giving notice to the parties concerned, in accordance with the abovementioned Decision, to submit their comments and taking into account those comments (2),Whereas:IBy letter of 12 June 1996 the Commission notified the Italian authorities of its decision to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 6 (4) of Decision No 3855/91/ECSC, hereinafter the 'Steel Aid Code`, in respect of aid they planned to grant, under a programme for the restructuring of Italy's private steel industry, to the following five enterprises in the steel sector:- Diano SpA,- Lamifer SpA,- Demafer Srl,- Lavorazione Metalli Vari (LMV) SpA,- Sidercamuna SpA.When it authorized Italian Law No 481 of 3 August 1994 on the restructuring of Italy's private steel sector after verifying that the Law complied with the Steel Aid Code and in particular with Article 4 thereof, the Commission called on the Italian authorities to notify it in advance of cases in which the Law was to be applied.That Decision also specified that, in order to qualify for aid for closure, the firms concerned had to have been in operation for on average at least one shift per day, i.e. at least eight hours per day, five days per week for the whole of 1993 and up to February 1994, when Decree-Law No 103/93 was notified to the Commission (the provisions of the Decree-Law were subsequently adopted as Law No 481/94).According to information in the possession of the Commission, the firms concerned satisfied the other requirements set out in Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code governing aid for closures, but were not in regular production at the time of their closure.In Case 177/96 Diano had produced 16 807 tonnes of hot-rolled products, equivalent to 21 % of its capacity; in Case 178/96 Lamifer SpA had produced only 23 542 tonnes of hot-rolled products, equivalent to 15,2 % of its capacity; in Case 182/96 Sidercamuna SpA had produced only 36 002 tonnes of hot-rolled products, equivalent to 7,6 % of its capacity, at the Berzo Inferiore (Brescia) plant. Demafer (Case N 180/96) and LMV (Case 181/96) were not in production in 1993.Accordingly, since it was very difficult to determine whether the aid was compatible with the common market, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 6 (4) of the Steel Aid Code in respect of the five abovementioned cases.IIIn accordance with that procedure, the Commission invited the Italian Government to submit its comments, while the other Member States and interested parties were informed by way of publication of the decision to initiate the procedure.By two letters of 22 August 1996, the German Government and Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl notified the Commission of their comments, which were forwarded to the Italian authorities by letter of 16 September 1996. The comments expressed support for the Commission's decision to initiate the procedure.In response to the opening of the procedure and to the comments of third parties, the Italian Government argued the following:- while referring back to the Decision of 12 December 1994, which allowed the Italian authorities to put forward objective criteria whereby plants that had operated at less than 25 % capacity could be eligible for closure aid, the Commission Decision initiating the procedure merely stated that the criteria put forward by Italy as a possible alternative to the concept of 'regular production` were unsuitable,- the criteria the Italian authorities presented to the Commission for consideration were based on the view that the low or zero output recorded by some firms in 1993 and early 1994 was indicative not of a desire to abandon the steel market or of obsolescent or uncompetitive plant but of unfavourable conditions in connection with financial difficulties and a market crisis,- by not redeploying their workforce, preferring instead to use the Cassa integrazione guadagni (wage guarantee fund), implement training schemes or apply for public early retirement benefits in the context of a restructuring plan, the firms clearly showed that they intended to restructure in order to overcome the crisis that was affecting them,- the plants covered by the cases submitted to the Commission for scrutiny are not experiencing any problems of productivity resulting from technical factors. Some have recently benefited under major modernization schemes designed to increase efficiency and, since they have all been regularly maintained, each one could still, at little cost, resume regular production within a short space of time. The best proof of this is the very strong interest numerous potential buyers have shown in the plants,- additional factors should be taken into account, such as the fact that electricity supply contracts have not been terminated, that the firms have remained active on the steel market, and that returns, in particular forms 260-261, have been sent to the ECSC, factors tending to confirm that the reduced or zero output in 1993 is attributable to unfavourable cyclical conditions and that the firms wanted to remain on the market and wait for the right conditions before resuming regular production.IIIBy virtue of their production, the firms are subject to the rules of the ECSC Treaty, Article 4 (c) of which stipulates that subsidies or aid granted by States in any form whatsoever are recognized as incompatible with the common market for coal and steel and are accordingly to be abolished and prohibited within the Community. The only possible exceptions to this general prohibition are set out explicitly and restrictively in the Steel Aid Code, in Article 2 (aid for research and development), Article 3 (aid for environmental protection) and Article 4 (aid for closures).The purpose of the exceptions from the general ban on aid to the steel industry in Article 4 (c) of the ECSC Treaty is not in any way to make the Community rules governing aid to the steel industry less strict, since those rules are justified by the serious distortion of competition that might be caused by aid that is incompatible with the common market in a sector that continues to be very sensitive. It is therefore necessary for those rules to be strictly adhered to, which means that aid to an enterprise in the steel sector may be authorized only if the Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Steel Aid Code have effectively been complied with.Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code lays down that aid to firms which permanently cease production of ECSC iron and steel products may be deemed compatible with the common market on conditions that those firms:- became a legal entity before 1 January 1991 and have not reorganized their production or plant structure since 1 January 1991,- have been regularly producing ECSC iron and steel products up to the date of notification of the aid,- are not directly or indirectly controlled, within the meaning of Decision No 24/54 of the High Authority (3), by, and do not themselves directly or indirectly control, an undertaking that is itself a steel undertaking or controls other steel undertakings.Article 4 further provides that the amount of the aid may not exceed the higher of the following two values:- the discounted value of the contribution to fixed costs obtainable from plants over a three-year period, less any advantages the aided firm derives from their closure,- the residual book value of the plants (ignoring that portion of any revaluations since 1 January 1990 which exceeds the national inflation rate).The Commission concludes that the cases under consideration satisfy every requirement except the one - regarding regular production - that had led to the initiation of proceedings.In this connection, although it states that, in order to be eligible for aid, a firm must be in regular production at the time of the closure, the Steel Aid Code does not give a precise definition of regular. Accordingly, in its decision authorizing Italian Law No 481 of 3 August 1994, the Commission stated that the requirement concerned would be deemed to be met if the firm receiving the aid had been in production for an average at least one shift per day, i.e. at least eight hours per day, for five days per week for the whole of 1993 and up to 28 February 1994, when Decree-Law No 103/94, converted by the Italian Parliament into Law No 481/94, was notified to the Commission. The Commission decided, moreover, that the Italian authorities should be allowed to demonstrate on the basis of objective criteria that a firm which did not satisfy this requirement had regularly produced ECSC iron and steel products.The Commission was then to examine the aid in the light of the particular circumstances of the case, in order to ensure that the criterion of regular production had been complied with.The purpose of Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code and of the Commission decision of 12 December 1994 is clear: aid for closures may be granted only to firms that are significantly active, or whose production on the market in iron and steel products is regular. The Community legislator did not, however, feel it necessary or advisable to allow an exception to the general prohibition provided for in Article 4 of the ECSC Treaty in the absence of significant effects on the market resulting from the closure of a firm, as the latter is not in regular production.It therefore follows that criteria could, provided they demonstrated the regularity of production, be accepted as an alternative to the one laid down by the Commission in its Decision. The criteria put forward by the Italian Government (non-cancellation of the electricity-supply contract, continued employment of the workforce, investment in plant, maintenance of the facilities, etc.), however, demonstrate not that the firms in question were in regular production, but that they were capable of producing on a regular basis.Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code is drafted in such a way as to rule out a broad interpretation which would allow aid to go to firms which, although they had not been in regular production, were merely capable of producing ECSC products on a regular basis.It would therefore appear that, in the light of the alternative criteria they have put forward, the way in which the criterion of regularity has been interpreted by the Italian authorities is not founded in law and cannot therefore be accepted.As regards the claim made by the Italian authorities that the low output recorded by the firms since 1993 was due to particularly unfavourable cyclical conditions and to a major crisis on the market in long products, it must be stated that production was in fact only slightly down in the case of long products, in particular in the case of wire rod and other bars and sections:>TABLE>The same applies to the market in concrete reinforcing rods - the most important as far as the firms in question are concerned - in respect of which there was a slight reduction in the rate of use of production capacity at both European and Italian level:>TABLE>>TABLE>On the basis of these figures it must be concluded that the argument put forward by the Italian authorities, i.e. that the low level of production of the firms in question was attributable to unfavourable market conditions in 1993, cannot be accepted by the Commission.Relevant though they may be in context of the restructuring of the steel sector, the comments on the positive impact of these irreversible closures on a market featuring heavy overcapacity cannot be accepted in the context of the application of Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code.Finally, concerning the comment by the Italian authorities that the Commission had not proceeded to define any alternative criteria to the one referred to in the authorizing Decision of 12 December 1994, it should be emphasized that it was for the Italian authorities alone to demonstrate, by means of suitable criteria other than the one put forward by the Commission, that production was regular.In the light of the provisions of the Steel Aid Code, the other comments put forward by the Italian authorities are without any legal foundation.The Commission notes, however, that in the case of Diano, which in 1993 had produced 16 807 tonnes of hot-rolled products - equivalent to 21 % of its capacity - the firm carried out major maintenance work in the rolling mill, which had repeatedly involved halting production. In practice, output at Diano, taking account of annual production and the maintenance work described, should have been roughly the same as the figure for 1991, when the firm produced 24 765 tonnes, corresponding to 31 % of capacity. In view of this and, in particular, the capacity utilization rate the firm would have been able to achieve had it not been for the abovementioned major overhaul of its mill, the Commission has reason to believe that the firm in question was in regular production (on average one shift per day, five days per week), at the time of its closure.IVIn the light of the above, in particular Part III of this Decision, it must be concluded that, with the exception of Case ex N 177/96 (Diano), the requirements applicable pursuant to Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code have not been satisfied and that the comments put forward by the Italian authorities are not such as to alter the initial assessment the Commission made when it decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 6 (4) of the Steel Aid Code.It should therefore be concluded that the aid Italy plans to grant to:- Lamifer SpA,- Demafer Srl,- Lavorazione Metalli Vari (LMV) SpA,- Sidercamuna SpA,are to be regarded as incompatible with the common market, in that they do not, pursuant to the Steel Aid Code, qualify for exemption from the general prohibition provided for in Article 4 (c) of the ECSC Treaty.However, the plan to grant aid totalling Lit 5 953 million to Diano SpA is compatible with the common market since it satisfies the requirements of Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code,. The State aid which Italy plans to grant, in the context of the restructuring of its private steel sector, to Lamifer SpA, Demafer Srl, Lavorzione Metalli Vari (LMV) SpA and Sidercamuna SpA is incompatible with the common market pursuant to Article 4 (c) of the ECSC Treaty.Accordingly, that aid may not be granted. The State aid which Italy plans to grant, in the context of the restructuring of its private steel sector, to Diano SpA is compatible with the common market.The granting of that aid is therefore authorized. Italy shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures it has taken to comply with it. This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic..

Given the specific composition of the FCH Joint Undertaking, as well as its rules and the nature, objectives and scope of its activities, the members of the Research Grouping may benefit from the results achieved in the same manner as the members of the Industry Grouping. Therefore, it is justified to allow the in-kind contribution from both the Industry Grouping and Research Grouping to be counted as matching funds.(3) The Research Grouping became a member of the FCH Joint Undertaking, and it is therefore appropriate to consider that in-kind contributions from research organisations (including universities and research centres) match the contribution of the Union, within the meaning of the Statutes of the FCH Joint Undertaking annexed to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 (hereinafter referred as the ‘Statutes’).(4) The FCH Joint Undertaking has been operating for more than 2 years, and during this period the entire operational cycle with publishing calls for proposals, evaluations of proposals, negotiations of funding and conclusion of grant agreements has been completed. Experience gained during this period has shown that the maximum funding levels in FCH Joint Undertaking projects had to be reduced significantly for all participants. As a result, the level of participation in the actions of the FCH Joint Undertaking proved to be significantly below initial expectations.(5) The Governing Board approved the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008, in accordance with the Statutes.(6) Allowing in-kind contributions from all legal entities participating in the activities to be counted as matching funding would recognise the membership of the Research Grouping and would improve the funding levels while still respecting the fundamental principle of matching, as well as the need to apply fair and balanced funding reductions to the different types of participants.(7) The running costs of the Programme Office of the FCH Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred as the ‘Programme Office’) should be covered by its three members. It is appropriate to provide that all members of the FCH Joint Undertaking have the same payment schedule.(8) The Commission should be given some flexibility regarding the measures to be taken in case of insufficient matching.(9) Currently the level of funding is determined after each evaluation of proposals received. To enable beneficiaries to estimate the extent of the potential funding, it should be possible for each call to specify the minimum level of funding.(10) Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,. Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 is hereby amended as follows:(1) in Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:(2) the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. Notwithstanding Article 12(3) of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008, this amending Regulation shall not affect the rights and obligations arising under the grant agreements and other contracts concluded by the FCH Joint Undertaking before the entry into force of this Regulation. In particular, it shall not affect the upper funding limits set out therein.

29849,"Council Regulation (EC) No 84/2005 of 18 January 2005 amending the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems originating in Japan. ,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) (the ‘basic Regulation’),Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   PREVIOUS PROCEDURES(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems (‘TCS’) originating in Japan.(2) In Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation No 1015/94, the Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty camera systems listed in the Annex to that Regulation (‘the Annex’), representing high-end professional camera systems technically falling within the product definition under Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94, but which cannot be regarded as television camera systems.(3) In October 1995, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2474/95 (3), amended Regulation (EC) No 1015/94, in particular as regards the definition of the like product and certain models of professional camera systems which were explicitly exempted from the definitive anti-dumping duty.(4) In October 1997, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1952/97 (4), amended the rates of the definitive anti-dumping duty for two companies concerned, namely for Sony Corporation and Ikegami Tsushinki Co. Ltd pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation. Furthermore, the Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty certain new models of professional camera systems by adding them to the Annex.(5) In January 1999 and January 2000, the Council, by Regulations (EC) No 193/1999 (5) and (EC) No 176/2000 (6), amended Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex and thus excluding those from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty. In October 2004, the Council, by Regulation (EC) 1754/2004 (7), amended Regulation (EC) No 176/2000.(6) In September 2000, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 (8), confirmed the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.(7) In January 2001 and in May 2001, the Council, by Regulations (EC) No 198/2001 (9) and (EC) No 951/2001 (10), amended Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus excluding them from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.(8) In September 2001, further to an interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1900/2001 (11) confirmed the level of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 on imports of TCS from the exporting producer Hitachi Denshi Ltd.(9) In September 2002, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1696/2002 (12), amended Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus excluding them from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.(10) In April 2004, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 825/2004, amended Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus excluding them from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.B.   INVESTIGATION CONCERNING NEW MODELS OF PROFESSIONAL CAMERA SYSTEMS1.   Procedure(11) Two Japanese exporting producers, namely Sony Corporation (‘Sony’) and Victor Company of Japan Limited (‘JVC’) informed the Commission that they intended to introduce new models of professional camera systems into the Community market and requested the Commission to add these new models of professional camera systems, including their accessories, to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus exempt them from the scope of the anti-dumping duties.(12) The Commission informed the Community industry accordingly and commenced an investigation limited to the determination of whether the products under consideration fall within the scope of the anti-dumping duties and whether the operational part of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 should be amended accordingly.2.   Models under investigation(13) The requests for exemption were received for the following models of camera systems, supplied with the relevant technical information:(i) Sony:— viewfinder HDVF-C30W(ii) JVC:— Camera head KY-F560E3.   Findings(i)   Viewfinder HDVF-C30W(14) It was found that viewfinder HDVF-C30W falls under the product description of Article 1(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. However, it can only be used with camera heads that do not fall under the product description of Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation. In particular, the signal-to-noise ratio of these camera heads is 54 dB, whereas the description in Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 for the camera heads requires ‘55 dB or more at normal gain’. Therefore, it was concluded that this viewfinder should be regarded as a professional camera system falling within the definition of Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. As a result, this viewfinder should be excluded from the scope of the existing anti-dumping measures and added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000.(15) In accordance with the established Community Institutions' practice, this model should be exempted from the duty from the date of receipt by the Commission services of the relevant request for exemption. Therefore, all imports of Sony-Viewfinder HDVF-C30W imported on or after 1 April 2003 should be exempted from the duty from this date.(ii)   Camera head KY-F560E(16) It was found that camera head KY-F560E, although falling within the product description of Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000, is mainly used in technical and medical applications. It was therefore concluded that this model was to be regarded as a professional camera system falling within the definition of Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. It should therefore be excluded from the scope of the existing anti-dumping measures and added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000.(17) In accordance with the established Community Institutions’ practice, this model should be exempted from the duty from the date of receipt by the Commission services of the relevant request for exemption. Therefore, all imports of JVC-Camera head KY-F560E imported on or after 15 April 2004 should be exempted from the duty from this date.4.   Information of the interested parties and conclusions(18) The Commission informed the Community industry and the exporters of the TCS of its findings and provided them with an opportunity to present their views. None of the parties objected to the Commission's findings.(19) On the basis of the foregoing, Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 should be amended accordingly,. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 shall be replaced by the text in the Annex hereto. 1.   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.2.   This Regulation shall apply to imports of the following models produced and exported to the Community by the following exporting producers:(a) Sony from 1 April 2003:— Viewfinder HDVF-C30W;(b) JVC from 15 April 2004:— Camera head KY-F560E.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The Community Tobacco Fund has always been funded by the transfer of part of the tobacco aids. Such transfer for calendar years 2006 and 2007 was initially proposed when the introduction of the tobacco sector into the single payment scheme was to be accompanied by a transitional tobacco aid to be paid in the same years. Council Regulation (EC) No 864/2004 (4) finally extended the tobacco aid to 2008 and 2009 without accordingly extending the funding of the Community Tobacco Fund by a reduction of the tobacco aid.(3) Actions funded by the Community Tobacco Fund have proved to be very successful as well as a positive example of cooperation between agriculture and health policies. In order to ensure the continuation of those actions, and taking into account that the Fund has always been funded by transfer from the tobacco aid, it is appropriate to transfer an amount equal to 5 % of the tobacco aid granted for the calendar years 2008 and 2009 to the Community Tobacco Fund.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,. Article 110m of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 shall be replaced by the following:‘Article 110mTransfer to the Community Tobacco FundAn amount equal to 4 % for the calendar year 2006 and 5 % for the calendar years 2007, 2008 and 2009 of the aid granted in accordance with this Chapter shall finance actions of information under the Community Tobacco Fund provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92.’ Article 104(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be replaced by the following:‘(b) for the calendar years 2006 to 2009, in accordance with Article 110m of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.’ This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following 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..

whereas there is a great variety of different consortia agreements operating in different circumstances; whereas the scope, parties, activities or terms of  consortia are frequently altered; whereas the Commission should therefore be given the responsibility of defining from time to time the consortia to which a group exemption should apply;Whereas, in order to ensure that all the conditions of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty are met, conditions should be attached to group exemptions to ensure in particular that a fair share of the benefits will be passed on to shippers and that competition  is not eliminated;Whereas pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4056/86 of 22 December 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty to maritime transport (4) the Commission may provide that a decision taken  in accordance with Article 85 (3) of the Treaty shall apply with retroactive effect;

Glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt are included in the Community register of flavouring substances laid down by Commission Decision 1999/217/EC of 23 February 1999 adopting a register of flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs drawn up in application of Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 October 1996 (3). Exposure to glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt occur mostly via consumption of liquorice confectionery, including chewing gum, herbal teas and other beverages.(4) The Scientific Committee on Food, in its opinion of 4 April 2003 on glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt, concluded that an upper limit for regular ingestion of 100 mg/day provides a sufficient level of protection for the majority of the population, consumption above this level may give rise to hypertension. However the Committee noted that within the human population there are subgroups for which this upper limit might not offer sufficient protection. These subgroups comprise people with medical conditions related to disturbed water- and electrolyte homeostasis.(5) These findings make it necessary to provide labelling which gives the consumers clear information on the presence of glycyrrhizinic acid or its ammonium salt in confectionery and beverages. In the case of high contents of glycyrrhizinic acid or its ammonium salt in these products, the consumers, and in particular those suffering from hypertension, should in addition be informed that excessive intake should be avoided. To ensure a good understanding of these information by the consumers, the well known term ‘liquorice extracts’ should be preferably used.(6) Directive 94/54/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex to Directive 94/54/EC is amended in accordance with the text set out in the Annex to this Directive. 1.   The Member States shall permit trade in products which comply with this Directive from 20 May 2005 at the latest.2.   The Member States shall prohibit trade in products which do not comply with this Directive from 20 May 2006.However, products which do not comply with this Directive and which were labelled before 20 May 2006 shall be authorised while stocks last. 1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 20 May 2005 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.

28146,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 661/2004 of 7 April 2004 initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 769/2002 on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand, whether declared as originating in India or Thailand or not, and making such imports subject to registration. ,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) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,After having consulted the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. REQUEST(1) The Commission has received a request, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China.(2) The request was lodged on 24 February 2004 by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) on behalf of the sole producer representing 100 % of the Community production of coumarin.B. PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is coumarin, normally declared under CN code ex 2932 21 00 (the product concerned) originating in the People's Republic of China. This CN code is given for information only.(4) The product under investigation is coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same CN code as the product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China.C. EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 769/2002(2).D. GROUNDS(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via India and via Thailand.(7) The evidence available is as follows:The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, India and Thailand to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China, and that there appears to be insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change. This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China via India and via Thailand.Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product concerned from India and Thailand appear to have replaced imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increase in imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China.Should circumvention practices via India or via Thailand covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may cover these practices also.E. PROCEDURE(8) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand, whether declared as originating in India or Thailand or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a) Questionnaires(9) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in India and Thailand, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that led to the existing measures or which are listed in the request, and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, India and Thailand. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.(10) In any event all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and, if necessary, request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.(11) The authorities of the People's Republic of China, India and Thailand will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings(12) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures(13) Since the possible circumvention of the measures in force takes place outside the Community, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product concerned that can show that they are not related to any producer subject to the measures and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and (2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limits indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F. REGISTRATION(14) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand.G. TIME LIMITS(15) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,- producers in India and in Thailand may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(16) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.H. NON-COOPERATION(17) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limits provided in this Regulation, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(18) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and use of the best facts available is made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to the party than if it had cooperated,. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of coumarin falling within CN code ex 2932 21 00 (TARIC codes 2932 21 00 11 and 2932 21 00 15 ) consigned from India and from Thailand, whether originating in India or Thailand or not, are circumventing the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 769/2002 on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.The Commission, by regulation, may direct customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties. 1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.3. Producers in India and in Thailand requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 40-day time limit.4. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.5. Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for authorisation of certificates of non-circumvention must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ""Limited""(3) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ""For inspection by interested parties"".Commission address for correspondence: European Commission Directorate-General for TradeDirectorate BJ-79 5/16B - 1049 Brussels Fax (32-2) 295 65 05 Telex COMEU B 21877 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..

38532,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 558/2010 of 24 June 2010 amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin  (Text with EEA relevance ). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin. It provides, inter alia, that food business operators may place products of animal origin on the market only if they have been prepared and handled exclusively in establishments that meet the relevant requirements of Annex III thereto.(2) Chapter VII of Section I of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 provides that meat of domestic ungulates may be transported before the temperature required under that Regulation is attained, if the competent authority so authorises to enable the production of specific products, subject to certain conditions.(3) Accepted knowledge concerning appropriate microbiological and temperature criteria show that a similar provision would be beneficial for the production of foie gras to enable the use of traditional methods of production.(4) Freezing carried out immediately after slaughter and chilling minimises the growth of bacteria and therefore the microbiological load upon thawing. Similarly to the provisions already established for meat of domestic ungulates, meat derived from poultry and lagomorphs intended for freezing should be frozen without undue delay after slaughter and chilling. Consequently, it is appropriate to amend Chapter V of Section II of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 accordingly.(5) The rules laid down in Chapter II, of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 include specific requirements for live bivalve molluscs, live echinoderms, live tunicates and live marine gastropods, as regards the microbiological classification of production areas.(6) Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that the Member States are to ensure that the production and placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs, live echinoderms, live tunicates and live marine gastropods undergo official controls as provided for in Annex II thereto.(7) Annex II to that Regulation provides that production areas are to be classified according to the level of faecal contamination. Filter feeder animals, such as bivalve molluscs, can accumulate micro-organisms representing a risk for public health.(8) Marine gastropods are generally not filter feeder animals. Consequently, the risk of accumulation of micro-organisms related to faecal contamination may be considered to be remote. In addition, no epidemiological information has been reported to link the provisions for classification of production areas with risks for public health associated with marine gastropods which are not filter feeders. For this reason, such marine gastropods, should be excluded from provisions on the classification of production areas as laid down in Chapter II, of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.(9) Chapter VI of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 only provides that individual consumer-sized packages of live bivalve molluscs must be closed and remain closed when transported after leaving the dispatch centre until presented for sale to the final consumer. Accordingly, other packages of live bivalve molluscs are not covered by that requirement. In the interest of public health, it is appropriate to amend that requirement so that all such packages must remain closed until presented to the final consumer.(10) Chapter IX of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 establishes specific requirements for pectinidae harvested outside classified production areas. Such requirements should also apply to live marine gastropods which are not filter feeders. Point 4 of that Chapter establishes specific rules for the packaging of pectinidae. It is appropriate that the requirements for packages of live bivalve molluscs when transported from the dispatch centre to retail sale be applicable also to pectinidae and marine gastropods which are not filter feeders harvested outside classified production areas.(11) Point A of Chapter III of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down requirements for handling of fresh fishery products. The definition of fresh fishery products set out in point 3.5 of Annex I to that Regulation does not include thawed unprocessed fishery products and fresh fishery products to which food additives have been added in accordance with the appropriate legislation to ensure preservation. For consistency of Union legislation, the same requirements as for fresh fishery products should apply to those products.(12) Point 2 of Chapter VII and Point 1(b) of Chapter VIII of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 refers to a derogation for whole frozen fish in brine intended for canning from the general temperature requirement for frozen fishery products of not more than – 18 °C. For fish frozen in brine a temperature of not more than – 9 °C must be achieved for the product.(13) When the whole fish frozen in brine intended for canning is removed from the brine solution used for the freezing process, it is unnecessary that the temperature must be further reduced by other means to not more than – 18 °C according with the common practice applied when using the brine method to freeze whole fish intended for canning.(14) Point 1 of Chapter 1 of Section XIV and point 1 of Chapter I of Section XV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lay down requirements for raw material used for the production of gelatine and collagen intended for use in food.(15) In January 2005, the European Food Safety Authority published a scientific opinion on the safety of collagen and a processing method for the production of collagen (3). According to this opinion, the use of bones for the production of collagen should not to be considered as a risk for public health It is therefore appropriate to lay down processing requirements in accordance with the opinion of EFSA and specify that the bones used as raw material have to be other than specified risk material as defined in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (4). Point 1 of Chapter I of Section XV of Annex III should be amended accordingly.(16) For consistency of Union legislation, point 1 of Chapter I, point 1 of Chapter III of Section XIV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 regarding raw materials for the production of gelatine should be amended accordingly.(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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..

Meat must attain a temperature of not more than 4 °C before transport, and be maintained at that temperature during transport. However, if the competent authority so authorises, livers for the production of foie gras may be transported at a temperature of more than 4 °C, provided that:(a) such transport takes place in accordance with the requirements that the competent authority specifies in respect of transport from one given establishment to another; and(b) the meat leaves the slaughterhouse, or a cutting room immediately and transport takes no more than two hours.5. Meat derived from poultry and lagomorphs intended for freezing must be frozen without undue delay.6. Exposed meat must be stored and transported separately from packaged meat, unless stored or transported at different times or in such a way that the packaging material and the manner of storage or transport cannot be a source of contamination for the meat.’2. Section VII is amended as follows:(a) In the introductory part of that Section, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. This Section applies to live bivalve molluscs. With the exception of the provisions on purification, it also applies to live echinoderms, live tunicates and live marine gastropods. Provisions on classification of production areas set out in Chapter II part A of that Section do not apply to marine gastropods which are not filter feeders.’(b) In Chapter VI, point 2 is replaced by the following:‘2. All packages of live bivalve molluscs leaving dispatch centres or destined for another dispatch centre, must be closed. Packages of live bivalve molluscs, intended for direct retail sale, must remain closed until they are presented for sale to the final consumer.’(c) Chapter IX is replaced by the following:1. Pectinidae and marine gastropods, which are not filter feeders, may not be placed on the market unless they are harvested and handled in accordance with Chapter II, Part B, and meet the standards laid down in Chapter V, as proved by a system of own-checks.2. In addition, where data from official monitoring programmes enable the competent authority to classify fishing grounds — where appropriate, in cooperation with food business operators — the provisions of Chapter II, Part A, apply by analogy to pectinidae3. Pectinidae and marine gastropods, which are not filter feeders, may not be placed on the market for human consumption otherwise than via a fish auction, a dispatch centre or a processing establishment. When they handle pectinidae and/or such marine gastropods, food business operators operating such establishments must inform the competent authority and, as regards dispatch centres, comply with the relevant requirements of Chapters III and IV.4. Food business operators handling pectinidae and live marine gastropods, which are not filter feeders, must comply:(a) with the documentary requirements of Chapter I, points 3 to 7, where applicable. In this case, the registration document must clearly indicate the location of the area where the pectinidae and/or live marine gastropods were harvested; or(b) with the requirements of Chapter VI, point 2 concerning the closing of all packages of live pectinidae and live marine gastropods dispatched for retail sale and Chapter VII concerning identification marking and labelling.’3. Section VIII is amended as follows:(a) In the introductory part of that Section, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. This Section does not apply to bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods if they are still alive when placed on the market. With the exception of Chapters I and II, it applies to such animals when not placed on the market live, in which case they must have been obtained in accordance with Section VII.(b) In Chapter VII, point 2 is replaced by the following:‘2. Frozen fishery products must be kept at a temperature of not more than – 18 °C in all parts of the product; however, whole fish initially frozen in brine intended for the manufacture of canned food may be kept at a temperature of not more than – 9 °C.’(c) In Chapter VIII, point 1(b) is replaced by the following:‘(b) frozen fishery products, with the exception of whole fish initially frozen in brine intended for the manufacture of canned food, must be maintained during transport at an even temperature of not more than – 18 °C in all parts of the product, possibly with short upward fluctuations of not more than 3 °C.’4. In Section XIV, in Chapter I, point 1(a) is replaced by the following:‘(a) bones, other than specified risk materials as defined in Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1);5. Section XV is amended as follows:(a) In Chapter I, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. For the production of collagen intended for use in food, the following raw materials may be used:(a) bones, other than specified risk materials as defined in Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;(b) hides and skins of farmed ruminant animals;(c) pig skins;(d) poultry skin;(e) tendons and sinews;(f) wild game hides and skins; and(g) fish skin and bones.’(b) In Chapter III, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1.

Concerning one group and three persons the amended statements of reasons has been provided to them, if possible, in April 2008.(3) By way of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 December 2007 (3) the Council informed the persons, groups and entities listed in Decision 2007/868/EC that it had decided to keep them on the list. The Council also informed the persons, groups and entities concerned that it was possible to request a statement of the Council’s reasons for putting them on the list (where one had not already been communicated to them).(4) The Council has carried out a complete review of the list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies, as required by Article 2(3) of that Regulation. When doing so it took account of observations submitted to the Council by those concerned.(5) In the case of one group, the Council has taken account of the fact that the decision by a competent authority on the basis of which the group was included on the list has not been in force since 24 June 2008. However, new information concerning the group has been brought to the Council’s attention. The Council considers that this new information warrants the group’s inclusion on the list.(6) The Council has determined that one person should be removed from the list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies.(7) The Council has concluded that with the exception of the person mentioned in recital (6), the persons, groups and entities listed in the Annex to Common Position 2007/871/CFSP (4) have been involved in terrorist acts within the meaning of Article 1(2) and (3) of Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP of 27 December 2001 on the application of specific measures to combat terrorism (5), that a decision has been taken with respect to them by a competent authority within the meaning of Article 1(4) of that Common Position, and that they should continue to be subject to the specific restrictive measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001.(8) The list of the persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies should be updated accordingly,. The list provided for in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 shall be replaced by the list set out in the Annex to this Decision. Decision 2007/868/EC is hereby repealed.

29161,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 2126/2004 of 14 December 2004 setting the export refunds for nuts (shelled almonds, hazelnuts in shell, shelled hazelnuts and walnuts in shell) using system A1. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) sets detailed rules covering export refunds on fruit and vegetables.(2) Under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 refunds can be granted on products exported by the Community, to the extent necessary to enable economically significant quantities to be exported and within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty.(3) In line with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 care should be taken to ensure that trade flows already engendered by the granting of refunds are not disturbed. For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,. 1.   Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.2.   Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.3.   Without prejudice to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the type A1 licences shall be valid for three months.

35268,"2008/771/EC: Commission Decision of 30 September 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of buprofezin in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance (notified under document number C(2008) 5109) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I of that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes buprofezin.(3) For buprofezin the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For buprofezin the rapporteur Member State was Finland and all relevant information was submitted on 7 July 2005.(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 3 March 2008 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance buprofezin (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 20 May 2008 in the format of the Commission review report for buprofezin.(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns have been identified. In particular it was not possible to perform a reliable consumer exposure assessment as data are missing to determine an appropriate residue definition. Consequently, it was not possible to conclude on the basis of the information available that buprofezin met the criteria for inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(6) 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. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. 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 buprofezin satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(7) Buprofezin should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing buprofezin are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing buprofezin should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing buprofezin remain available to farmers for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for buprofezin according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the detailed implementation rules of which have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 (5), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Buprofezin shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Member States shall ensure that:(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing buprofezin are withdrawn by 30 March 2009;(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing buprofezin are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision. Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 30 March 2010 at the latest.

The term ""patudo"" in the Spanish language version of that Regulation published in the Official Journal of the European Communities is wrong and must be replaced by ""atĂşn blanco"". Since this mistake was not immediately obvious to the economic operators concerned, the Regulation in question should be corrected.(2) Furthermore, pursuant to Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 142/98 of 21 January 1998 laying down detailed rules for granting the compensatory allowances for tuna intended for the processing industry(4), applications for payment of the allowance must be submitted by the producers' organisations concerned to the competent authorities not later than 45 days after the entry into force of the Regulation concerned, i.e. 6 August 1999. However, owing to the inconspicuous mistake in the Spanish language version of Regulation (EC) No 1282/1999, some operators may not have submitted applications for payment of the allowance. The full period of 45 days from the entry into force of this Regulation should accordingly be allowed to run in cases where the producers' organisations concerned have not yet submitted applications for payment of the allowance.(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,. Concerns the Spanish language version only. In cases where the producers' organisations concerned have not yet submitted applications for payment of the allowance, the period of 45 days provided for in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 142/98 shall only commence running from the entry into force of this Regulation.

5767,"Council Decision 2014/137/EU of 14 March 2014 on relations between the European Union on the one hand, and Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark on the other. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 203 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,Whereas:(1) In accordance with the Treaty amending, with regard to Greenland, the Treaties establishing the European Communities (2) (‘the Greenland Treaty’), the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) no longer applies to Greenland. Rather, Greenland, being a part of a Member State, is associated to the Union as one of the overseas countries and territories (OCTs).(2) In its preamble, the Greenland Treaty states that arrangements should be introduced which permit close and lasting links between the Union and Greenland to be maintained and mutual interests, notably the development needs of Greenland, to be taken into account, and that the arrangements applicable to OCTs set out in Part Four of the TFEU provide an appropriate framework for those relations.(3) In accordance with Article 198 TFEU, the purpose of association is to promote the economic and social development of the OCTs and to establish close economic relations between them and the Union as a whole. Pursuant to Article 204 TFEU, the provisions of Articles 198 to 203 TFEU apply to Greenland, subject to the specific provisions set out in Protocol (No 34) on special arrangements for Greenland annexed to the TFEU.(4) The provisions for the application of the principles laid down in Articles 198 to 202 TFEU are set out in Council Decision 2013/755/EU (3).(5) In its conclusions of 24 February 2003 on the Mid-term Review of the Fourth Fisheries protocol between the European Community, the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland, and recognising the geostrategic importance of Greenland to the Union and the spirit of cooperation resulting from the Union’s decision to grant the status of overseas territory to Greenland, the Council agreed that there was a need to broaden and strengthen future relations between the Union and Greenland, taking into account the importance of fisheries and the need for structural and sectoral orientated reforms in Greenland. The Council further expressed its commitment to base the future relationship of the Union with Greenland after 2006 on a comprehensive partnership for sustainable development which would include a specific fisheries agreement, negotiated according to the general rules and principles for such agreements.(6) The Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland on the other hand (4), concluded by Council Regulation (EC) No 753/2007 (5), recalls the spirit of cooperation resulting from the decision to grant the status of overseas territory to Greenland.(7) The Joint Declaration of the European Community, on the one hand, and the Home Rule Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other, on partnership between the European Community and Greenland, signed in Luxembourg on 27 June 2006, recalled the close historical, political, economic and cultural connections between the Union and Greenland and emphasised the need to strengthen further their partnership and cooperation.(8) The relations between the Union on the one hand, and Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark on the other, are governed, inter alia, by Council Decision 2006/526/EC (6), which expired on 31 December 2013.(9) The Union needs to build comprehensive partnerships with new actors on the international scene in order to promote a stable and inclusive international order, to pursue common global public goals and to defend core Union interests, as well as to increase knowledge of the Union in third countries and OCTs.(10) The partnership pursuant to this Decision should allow for the continuation of strong relations between the Union on the one hand, and Greenland and Denmark on the other, and should respond to global challenges, allowing for the development of a proactive agenda and the pursuit of mutual interests. The partnership should also be linked to the objectives outlined in the Commission Communication of 3 March 2010 entitled ‘Europe 2020 A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’ (the ‘Europe 2020 strategy’), thus providing consistency with the Europe 2020 strategy and the promotion of internal policies and objectives defined in Commission Communications, such as the Commission Communication of 2 February 2011 entitled ‘Tackling the Challenges in Commodity Markets and on Raw Materials’, and facilitating cooperation in the context of the Union's Arctic policy.(11) Union financial assistance should focus on areas where it has most impact, having regard to its capacity to act on a global scale and to respond to global challenges such as poverty eradication, sustainable and inclusive development or the worldwide promotion of democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule of law, its long-term and predictable engagement in development assistance and its role in coordinating with its Member States.(12) The partnership pursuant to this Decision should provide for a framework permitting regular discussions on matters of interest for the Union or for Greenland, such as global issues, where an exchange of views, and a possible convergence of ideas and opinions, could be beneficial for both parties. In particular, the increasing impact of climate change on human activity and the environment, maritime transport, natural resources, including raw materials, as well as research and innovation, calls for dialogue and enhanced cooperation.(13) Union financial assistance, allocated through the partnership, should bring a European perspective to the development of Greenland and should contribute to the strengthening of the close and long lasting ties with it, while strengthening the position of Greenland as an advanced outpost of the Union, based on the common values and history which links the partners.(14) Union financial assistance for the period 2014-2020 should focus on one, or a maximum of two, areas of cooperation, allowing for the partnership’s impact to be maximised and to further allow for economies of scale, synergy effects, greater effectiveness and visibility of the Union's actions.(15) The cooperation pursuant to this Decision should ensure that resource flows are accorded on a predictable and regular basis and are flexible and tailored to the situation in Greenland. To this end, budget support should be used wherever feasible and appropriate.(16) The financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union are laid down in Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), and in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 (8).(17) The financial interests of the Union should be protected through proportionate measures throughout the expenditure cycle, including through prevention, detection and investigation of irregularities, recovery of funds lost, wrongly paid or incorrectly used and, where appropriate, penalties. Those measures should be carried out in accordance with the applicable agreements concluded with international organisations and third countries.(18) The programming documents and financing measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted by means of implementing acts in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9). Given the nature of those implementing acts, in particular their policy orientation nature and their financial implications, the examination procedure should in principle be used for their adoption, except in the case of technical implementing measures of a small financial scale.(19) Common rules and procedures for the implementation of the Union's instruments for financing external action, laid down in Regulation (EU) No 236/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10), should apply to the implementation of this Decision, as appropriate.(20) It is appropriate to ensure a smooth transition without interruption between Decision 2006/526/EC and this Decision and to align the period of application of this Decision with that of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (11). Therefore, this Decision should apply from 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2020,.

That procedure shall also apply to substantial reviews which have the effect of modifying significantly the strategy or its programming.The examination procedure shall not apply to non-substantial modifications to the PDSD, such as technical adjustments, reassigning funds within the indicative allocations per priority area, or increasing or decreasing the size of the initial indicative allocation by less than 20 %, provided that those modifications do not affect the priority areas and objectives set out in the PDSD. The Commission shall communicate such non-substantial modifications to the European Parliament and to the Council within one month of the date of adoption of the relevant decision.6.   Any programming or review of programmes taking place after the publication of the mid-term review report referred to in Article 7 shall take into account the results, findings and conclusions of that report.

PROCEDURE(1) In January 1988, the Commission received a complaint lodged by CECOM, the Committee of European Copier Manufacturers, on behalf of producers of plain paper photocopiers (PPCs) whose collective output constitutes a major proportion of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained sufficient evidence of the fact that, following the opening of the investigation concerning PPCs originating in Japan (2) which led to the adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 535/87 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of those products, a number of companies were assembling PPCs in the Community under the conditions referred to in Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.(2) On 17 February 1988 the Commission announced (4) that it had commenced an investigation in respect of PPCs assembled in the Community by Canon Inc., Konishoroku Photo Industry Co., Matsushita Electric Co. Ltd, Minolta Camera Co. Ltd, Ricoh Company Ltd, Sharp Corporation and Toshiba Corporation. By Council Regulation (EEC) No 3205/88 (5) and Commission Decision 88/519/EEC (6), the findings of the investigation were made known.Subsequent to this investigation, the Commission established that Ricoh Company Ltd had begun production or assembly of the product concerned at its wholly-owned subsidiary in France, Ricoh Industrie France SA.On the basis of these facts, the Commission considered it appropriate that it should investigate the assembly of PPCs in the Community by Ricoh Industrie France SA.Accordingly, after consultation, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (7), the initiation of the investigation under the said Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 concerning PPCs assembled or produced in the Community by Ricoh Industrie France SA.(3) The Commission so informed the company concerned, the representatives of Japan and the complainants and gave the interested parties the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(4) The Company concerned made its views known in writing. The same Company and the complainants requested and were granted hearings by the Commission.(5) No submissions were made by purchasers of PPCs assembled in the Community by Ricoh Industrie France SA. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the assessment of the nature of the alleged assembly operations and carried out investigations at the premises of Ricoh Industrie France SA.(6) The period of investigation was from 1 November 1988 to 30 April 1989.B. RELATIONSHIP OR ASSOCIATION WITH EXPORTER(7) Ricoh Industrie SA was found to be related to or associated with Ricoh Company Ltd whose exports of PPCs were subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 535/87. In fact it was found to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Japanese company mentioned above.C. PRODUCTION(8) The Commission established that the assembly or production operations carried out by Ricoh Industrie France SA had started after the opening of the anti-dumping investigation on PPCs.D. PARTS(9) The parts were identified according to the provisions of Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. In this context and in line with previous practice, the Commission deemed it appropriate to consider the types of printed circuit board examined during the investigation as single parts, given the nature of their structure.(10) As in previous cases, the value of the parts in question were generally determined on the basis of the company's purchase prices of these parts when delivered to the factories in the Community. The relevant value is that of the parts and materials as they are used in the assembly operations, i.e. on an into-factory basis.(11) The origin of the parts was taken into account according to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (1) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1769/89 (2).(12) The weighted average value of Japanese parts or materials for all models assembled or produced by Ricoh France Industrie SA was found not to have exceeded by at least 50 % the value of all other parts or materials used.Accordingly the anti-dumping duty cannot be extended to the PPCs assembled or produced by the abovementioned company.E. CONCLUSION(13) In view of the foregoing, it is concluded that the investigation under Article 13 (10) of (EEC) Regulation 2423/88 should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping duties on PPCs assembled or produced by Ricoh Industrie France SA.. The proceeding under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, concerning plain paper photocopiers incorporating an optical system corresponding to CN codes ex 9009 11 00, ex 9009 1200 and ex 9009 21 00, assembled or produced by Ricoh Industrie France SA, is hereby terminated..

This Directive concerns the minimum measures to be taken within the Member States to control San José Scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comst.) and to prevent it from spreading. For the purposes of this Directive: (a) ""plants"" means live plants and live parts of plants with the exception of fruit and seeds;(b) ""contaminated plants or fruit"" means plants or fruit on which one or more San José Scale insects are found, unless it is confirmed that they are dead;(c) ""San José Scale host plants"" means plants of the genera Acer L., Cotoneaster Ehrh., Crataegus L., Cydonia Mill., Euonymus L., Fagus L., Juglans L., Ligustrum L., Malus Mill., Populus L., Prunus L., Pyrus L., Ribes L., Rosa L., Salix L., Sorbus L., Syringa L., Tilia L., Ulmus L., Vitis L.;(d) ""nurseries"" means plantations in which plants intended for transplanting, multiplying or distributing as individually rooted plants are grown.  (1) OJ No 156, 15.7.1967, p. 31. When an occurrence of San José Scale is recorded, Member States shall demarcate the contaminated area and a safety zone large enough to ensure the protection of the surrounding areas. The Member States shall provide that, in contaminated areas and safety zones, San José Scale host plants must be appropriately treated to control this pest and prevent it from spreading. The Member States shall provide that: (a) all contaminated plants in nurseries must be destroyed;(b) all other plants which are contaminated or suspected of being contaminated and which are growing in a contaminated area must be treated in such a way that those plants and the fresh fruit therefrom are no longer contaminated when moved;(c) all rooted San José Scale host plants growing within a contaminated area, and parts of such plants which are intended for multiplication and are produced within that area, may be replanted within the contaminated area or transported away from it only if they have not been found to be contaminated and if they have been treated in such a way that any San José Scale insects which might still be present are destroyed. The Member States shall ensure that in the safety zones San José Scale host plants are subjected to official supervision and are inspected at least once a year in order to detect any occurrence of San José Scale. The Member States shall provide that in any batch of plants (other than those that are rooted in the ground) and fresh fruit within which contamination has been found, the contaminated plants and fruit must be destroyed and the other plants and fruit in the batch treated or processed in such a way that any San José Scale insects which might still be present are destroyed. The Member States shall revoke the measures taken to control San José Scale or to prevent it from spreading only if San José Scale is no longer found to be present. The Member States shall prohibit the holding of San José Scale. 01. Member States may authorise: (a) derogations from the measures referred to in Articles 4, 5, 7 and 9 for scientific and phytosanitary purposes, tests and selection work;(b) by way of derogation from Articles 5 (b) and 7, the immediate processing of contaminated fresh fruit;(c) by way of derogation from Articles 5 (b) and 7, the movement of contaminated fresh fruit within the contaminated area.2. The Member States shall ensure that the authorisations referred to in paragraph 1 are granted only where adequate controls guarantee that they do not prejudice the control of San José Scale and create no risk of the spread of this pest. 1Member States may adopt such additional or stricter provisions as may be required to control San José Scale or to prevent it from spreading. 2Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within two years following its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. 3This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

6844,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 4093/88 of 16 December 1988 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for new potatoes and certain live plants originating in the Canary Islands (1989). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 4 of Protocol 2 annexed thereto,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, by virtue of Article 4 of Protocol 2 to the Act of Accession and Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87 of 18 May 1987 concerning certain adjustments to the arrangements applied to the Canary Islands (1), new potatoes and certain live  plants originating in the Canary Islands qualify on import into the Community for reduced customs duties within the limits of Community tariff quotas; whereas the quota volumes amount to:- 6 642 tonnes for new potatoes falling within CN codes 0701 90 51 and 0701 90 59 for the period 1 January to 30 June,and - 4 700 tonnes for certain live plants falling within Chapter 6 of the Combined Nomenclature for the period 1 January to 31 December;Whereas for 1989, the duties applicable within the limits of those tariff quotas are equal to 50 % of the basic duties; whereas, however, the products concerned qualify for exemption from import duties on import into that part of Spain which is included  in the customs territory of the Community; whereas, where the said products are imported into Portugal, the quota duties applicable are to be calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession; whereas to qualify for the tariff quota the products in question must comply with certain marking and labelling  conditions designed to prove their origin;Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, allocation of the Community tariff quotas among the Member States would seem such as to preserve the Community nature of the quotas; whereas in order to correspond as closely as  possible to the real trend of the market for the products concerned the allocation should reflect the requirements of the Member States based on statistics of imports of those products originating in the Canary Islands during a representative reference  period and on the economic outlook for the quota period in question;Whereas, for 1989, it is necessary to maintain the shares for the Member States given that the administrations of the Member States cannot create, by 1989 a technical and administrative basis for Community administration of the quota; whereas, however,  it is possible, given the evolution of trade over the last few years, to provide for an increase in the Community reserve;Whereas, during the last three years for which statistics are available, imports of these products into each of the Member States were as follows:(in tonnes) Member States CN codes 0701 90 51, 0701 90 59 new potatoes Live plants 1985 1986 1987 1985 1986 1987 Benelux    21 -     4   144   529   303 Denmark   127   312   180     6     6     6 Germany - - -   220   308   429 Greece - - - - - - Spain    24 -     5 3 880 5 009 4 430 France    38 - -    26    35    89 Ireland - - - -     1     1 Italy - - -    31    44   148 Portugal - - - - - - United Kingdom 6 496 2 531 1 763   177   198   204  Whereas in the last three years the products in question were imported regularly only by certain Member States and not all or only occasionally by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, in the first phase, initial shares should be  allocated to the genuine importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quotas when imports actually take place in the latter; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure  the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;Whereas, in order to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, each quota should be divided into two instalments, the first being shared among certain Member States and the second constituting a reserve to  cover the subsequent requirements of these Member States where they have used up their initial shares and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, in order to give importers in each Member State a certain degree  of security, the first instalment of the Community quotas should, under the circumstances, be fixed at 60 % respectively of the quota volumes;Whereas if, during the quota period, the Community reserve is almost totally used up, it is vital that Member States should return to that reserve all the unused part of their initial and, where relevant, additional shares to prevent part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in a Member State when it could be used in others;Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation relating to the administration of the quota shares allocated  to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,. 1. (a)  From 1 January to 31 December 1989, on import into the Community, the customs duties applicable for the following products shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as follows:Order No CN code Description Quota volumes (tonnes) Quota duties (%) 09.0413 ex 0701 90 51 ex 0701 90 59 New potatoes, from 1 January to 30 June 6 642 - from 1 January to 15 May: 7,5 - from 16 May to 30 June: 10,5 09.0429 ex 0601 10 90 ex 0602 10 90 ex 0602 40 11 ex 0602 40 19 ex 0602 99 45 ex 0602 99 49 ex 0602 99 51 ex 0602 99 59 ex 0602 99 70 ex 0602 99 99 Other bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes, dormant --Other unrooted cuttings and slips -Roses, whether or not budded or grafted --Roses (all the species Rosa), neither budded nor grafted:---With stock of a diameter not exceeding 10 mm ---Other --Other --------Rooted cuttings and young plants --------Other ------Other outdoor plants:-------Perennial plants -------Other -----Indoor plants:------Rooted cuttings and young plants, excluding cacti -------Other aa A A A A A A A A A A A A a A A A A A A A A A A A A s 4 700 4,4,6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 - from 1 January to 31 December: 6,5 30. 12. 88 Official Journal of the European Communities 1. (b)  Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the said products shall be exempt from customs duties on import into that part of Spain which is included in the customs territory of the Community;(c)  Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated according to the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession and the Regulations relating thereto.2.  Without prejudice to the relevant provisions applicable as regards quality standards, products covered by this Regulation cannot qualify under the tariff quotas unless, at the time of their presentation to the authorities responsible for the import  formalities for the purposes of release into free circulation in the customs territory of the Community, they are presented in packaging which bears the words ´Canary Islands', or the equivalent thereof in another official Community language, in a  clearly visible and perfectly legible form.However, live plants originating in the Canary Islands shall be identified by means of the documents to be supplied by the importer to the abovementioned authorities. 1.  The tariff quotas laid down in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments.2.  A first instalment of 3 985 and 2 820 tonnes respectively of each tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; the respective shares, which shall be valid until 31 December 1989, shall amount to the quantities indicated below:(a)  new potatoes falling within CN codes 0701 90 51 and 0701 90 59:Denmark225 tonnes,United Kingdom3 760 tonnes,(b)  certain live plants falling within Chapter 6 of the CN:Benelux170 tonnes,Germany170 tonnes,Spain2 315 tonnes,France26 tonnes,Italy38 tonnes,United Kingdom101 tonnes.3.  The second instalment of each quota, i. e. respectively:- 2 657 tonnes for new potatoes falling within CN codes 0701 90 51 and 0701 90 59,and - 1 880 tonnes for certain live plants falling within Chapter 6 of the CN,shall constitute the corresponding Community reserve.4.  If an importer gives notification of imminent imports of one of the products in question into another Member State which has not taken part in the initial allocation or has used up its initial share and which applies to take advantage of the corresponding quota the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these  requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.5.  Without prejudice to Article 3, the amounts drawn in accordance with paragraph 4 shall be valid until the end of the period to which the quota applies. 1.  Once at least 80 % of the reserve of the tariff quota as defined in Article 2 (3) is used up, the Commission shall notify the Member States.2.  It shall also, in this case, notify the Member States of the date from which shares drawn from the Community reserve must be dealt with in accordance with the following provisions:If an importer submits in a Member State a declaration for release for free circulation including an application for preferential treatment for a product referred to under this Regulation, and if that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities,  the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3) a quantity corresponding to these requirements.Applications to draw on the quota volume, showing the date of acceptance of the above declaration must be forwarded to the Commission without delay.Withdrawals shall be granted by the Commission on the basis of the date when the declaration for release for free circulation was accepted by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, in so far as the available balance so permits.If a Member State does not use up the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.If the quantities applied for are greater than the available balance of the reserve they shall be allocated pro rata. Member States shall be informed by the Commission by the same procedures.3.  Within three working days from the date mentioned in paragraph 2, the Member States shall be obliged to return to the reserve all the unused part of their initial and, where applicable, additional shares within the meaning of Article 5 (3) and (4). The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it is notified, shall inform each State of the extent to which the reserves have been used up.It shall inform the Member States of the amounts in these reserves after quantities have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 3.It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts any reserve does not exceed the balance available and, to this end, shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing. 1.  The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community  tariff quotas.2.  The Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.3.  The Member States shall charge the imports of the products concerned against their quota shares as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation.4.  The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3. At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares. This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..
