1057,"90/176/Euratom, EEC: Commission Decision of 23 March 1990 authorizing France not to take into account certain categories of transactions and to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base (Only the French text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,Whereas Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2892/77 of 19 December 1977 implementing in respect of own resources accruing from value added tax the Decision of 21 April 1970 on the replacement of financial contributions from Member States by the Communities' own resources (2) ceased to be applicable on 31 December 1988; whereas the authorizations given under Article 13 thereof must be renewed from 1 January 1989 pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89;Whereas, under Article 28 (3) of the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (3), hereinafter called 'the Sixth Directive', as last amended by Directive 84/386/EEC (4), the Member States may continue to exempt or tax certain transactions; whereas these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base;Whereas France is unable to make a precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for two categories of transactions listed in Annex F to the Sixth Directive; whereas such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on France's total VAT resources base; whereas France should therefore be authorized not to take these transactions into account for the calculation of the VAT base;Whereas France is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for six categories of transactions listed in Annex F to the Sixth Directive; whereas it should therefore be authorized to calculate the VAT base using approximate estimates;Whereas the Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,.

38161,"Commission Directive 2010/74/EU of 9 November 2010 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to extend the inclusion in Annex I thereto of the active substance carbon dioxide to product type 18  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes carbon dioxide.(2) Commission Directive 2008/75/EC of 24 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include carbon dioxide as an active substance in Annex I thereto (3) included carbon dioxide as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC for use in product type 14, rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, carbon dioxide has now been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.(4) France was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 19 February 2008 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(5) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 27 May 2010, in an assessment report.(6) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods and containing carbon dioxide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to extend the inclusion of carbon dioxide in Annex I to that Directive to such products.(7) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the European level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the European level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing carbon dioxide and used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, it is appropriate to require that products are only sold to and used by trained professionals, that appropriate measures to protect operators are taken to ensure minimum risk, including the availability of personal protective equipment if necessary, and that appropriate measures are taken to protect bystanders, such as exclusion from the treatment area during fumigation.(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance carbon dioxide and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

35864,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 629/2008 of 2 July 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (2) sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs, including maximum levels for the metals lead, cadmium and mercury.(2) It is essential, in order to protect public health, to keep contaminants at levels which do not cause health concerns. Maximum levels for lead, cadmium and mercury must be safe and as low as reasonably achievable based upon good manufacturing and agricultural/fishery practices.(3) On the basis of new information, good agricultural and fisheries practices do not allow keeping levels of lead, cadmium and mercury in certain aquatic species and fungi as low as required in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006. It is therefore necessary to revise the maximum levels fixed for those contaminants while maintaining a high level of consumer health protection.(4) High levels of lead, cadmium and mercury have been found in certain food supplements as defined in Article 2 of Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements (3) and were notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). It has been shown that these food supplements can contribute significantly to human exposure to lead, cadmium and mercury. In order to protect public health, it is therefore appropriate to set maximum levels for lead, cadmium and mercury in food supplements. These maximum levels must be safe and as low as reasonably achievable based upon good manufacturing practices.(5) Seaweed accumulates cadmium naturally. Food supplements consisting exclusively or mainly of dried seaweed or of products derived from seaweed can therefore contain higher levels of cadmium than other food supplements. To take this into account, a higher maximum level for cadmium is needed for food supplements consisting exclusively or mainly of seaweed.(6) Member States and food business operators should be allowed time to adapt to the new maximum levels for food supplements. The application of the maximum levels for food supplements should therefore be deferred.(7) An amendment of Footnote 1 of the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is necessary to clarify that the maximum level for fruit does not apply to tree nuts.(8) New monitoring recommendations have been introduced by Commission Recommendation 2007/196/EC of 28 March 2007 on the monitoring of the presence of furan in foodstuffs (4) and Commission Recommendation 2007/331/EC of 3 May 2007 on the monitoring of acrylamide levels in food (5). The provisions on monitoring and reporting in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 therefore need to be completed with references to those new Recommendations. The monitoring exercise on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons set out in Commission Recommendation 2005/108/EC (6) has been finalised. Therefore, the reference to that monitoring Recommendation can be deleted.(9) Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 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,. Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is amended as follows:1. In Article 9, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:2. The Annex is amended in accordance to 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.The maximum levels laid down in points 3.1.18, 3.2.19, 3.2.20 and 3.3.3 of the Annex shall apply from 1 July 2009. They shall not apply to products lawfully placed on the market before 1 July 2009. The burden of proving when the products were placed on the market shall be borne by the food business operator.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The specific aid is paid on the basis of deliveries which may be made up to 30 April of the year following that of harvest and, therefore, certain producer organisations have difficulties using the specific aid in full within the following two months and meeting the 30 June deadline. A longer period should therefore be laid down for using the specific aid. Moreover, to ensure that unused amounts are paid back within the given deadlines, the Member States should be obliged to recover any unused amounts from producer organisations.(2) Article 42(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 allows the Member States to pay producer organisations an advance on the specific aid on the basis of the quantities of tobacco delivered to the processor. To allow an actual advance to be granted, the application for an advance should be based on the quantities of tobacco covered by cultivation contracts rather than waiting for the deliverey of the product, bearing in mind that the advance is paid on condition that a security is lodged equal to 115 % of that advance. The advance should however be limited to 50 % of those quantities.(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,. Regulation (EC) No 2848/98 is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 40(2) is replaced by the following:""2. The specific aid may be used by producer groups up to 31 July of the year following that of harvest in the case of groups of varieties VI, VII and VIII and up to 15 July of the year following that of harvest in the case of the other groups of varieties and for the following purposes only:- the employment of technical staff to assist members in improving the quality of their production and respect for the environment,- the supply to members of certified seeds and seedlings and of other means of production in order to improve product quality,- environmental protection measures,- the implementation of infrastructure measures for enhancing the value of products supplied by the members, in particular tobacco-grading facilities,- the employment of administrative staff to administer the premium and ensure that the group complies with Community rules,- the reimbursement of the costs incurred in lodging securities under Article 42.""2. The following paragraph is added to Article 40:""2a. Any amounts not used in full or in part in accordance with paragraph 2 must be paid back to the Member State and shall be deducted from the expenditure financed under the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.""3. Article 42(1) is replaced by the following:""1. On application, the Member State shall pay the producer group from the 16 October of the year of the harvest an advance on the specific aid.

9958,"92/433/EEC: Commission Decision of 14 August 1992 imposing protective measures in respect of certain steel pipes originating in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and imported into the Federal Republic of Germany (Only the German and Italian texts are authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 520/92 of 27 February 1992, and in particular Article 6 thereof (1),Whereas:(1) An Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part, was signed in Brussels on 16 December 1991.Safeguard measures may be taken under Articles 24 and 27 (3) (d) of this Interim Agreement.(2) On 29 July and 3 August 1992 respectively, Germany and Italy requested that the Commission adopt forthwith safeguard measures under the Interim Agreement in respect of imports of steel pipes falling within CN codes 7304 and 7306 originating in  Czechoslovakia.(3) In their requests the German and Italian authorities claimed that the products in question were being imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause:- serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competing products,or- serious disturbances in the sector concerned or difficulties which could bring about serious deterioration in the economic situation of a region.(4) In support of their claim, the German authorities told the Commission that imports from Czechoslovakia of unwelded steel pipes falling within CN code 7304 totalled 37 377 tonnes during the first four months of 1992, compared with 7 226 tonnes in the  same period of 1991, an increase of 420 %. The result has been an increase in the share of German consumption held by piping from Czechoslovakia from 8,3 to 18%. During the same period, imports of welded pipes falling within CN code 7306 increased by  652 %, from 3 125 to 23 500 tonnes.Prices for these imports undercut Community market prices by 20 to 30 %.(5) The German authorities argued that the suddenness and magnitude of this increase in imports, the volumes concerned and the prices charged were seriously disturbing the German market in the products in question.German pipe manufacturers have recorded an appreciable decline in orders and a fall in output. The amount of unwelded-pipe-making capacity in use has fallen below 50 % in Germany, well below the 75 % regarded as the threshold for profitability in the  sector. A similar situation can be found in the industry producing threaded welded pipe, where business has fallen off seriously. The downward trend has led to an overall worsening in the situation of German pipe producers, who have had to introduce  short-time working, close some production lines and prepare to lay off staff. It is also reflected in the financial results of most of the firms involved, which have registered losses. The adverse impact on German producers of the increase in imports  from Czechoslovakia is compounded by the general tailing-off of economic activity.(6) The German authorities also argued that without protective measures it was highly probable that the very rapid growth of imports originating in Czechoslovakia would continue and perhaps increase even further owing to the increase in Czechoslovakia's  capacity to export to Germany. This is attributable both to the reduction in Czechoslovakia's domestic consumption and the major decline in orders from its traditional clients in other countries of Eastern Europe, and to the fact that the German  market's geographical location makes it a natural outlet for Czechoslovakia's industry. Such a trend would further aggravate the serious injury to German pipe producers.(7) In the light of the above the Commission considers that the criteria laid down in Articles 24 and 27 (d) of the Interim Agreement have been met and that it is necessary to adopt forthwith protective measures in respect of pipes falling within CN  codes 7304 and 7306 originating in Czechoslovakia in order to counter the injury caused to German pipe producers. The Commission considers that the imports in question should be limited using the level of imports in 1991 as a reference. This  quantitative limit should, however, be increased by 20 % to allow for a reasonable growth in imports.(8) The Italian authorities have also provided the Commission with information on trends in imports of the products concerned entering the Italian market from Czechoslovakia. The Commission will closely monitor trends in those imports and, in the light  of its findings, re-examine, if necessary, the situation on the Italian market,. 1. The importation into the Federal Republic of Germany of steel pipes falling within CN codes 7304 and 7306 originating in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic shall be subject to presentation of an import authorization issued by the German  authorities.2. The import authorization referred to in paragraph 1 shall be issued by the German authorities against an annual quota of 62 230 tonnes for CN code 7304 and 26 650 tonnes for CN code 7306 for the year 1992, with account being taken of amounts already  imported. This Decision shall not prevent the release for free circulation of products which, at the time of its entry into force, were already under way to the Community. This Decision is addressed to Germany and Italy.It shall be applicable until 31 December 1992.. Done at Brussels, 14 August 1992.

40103,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 835/2011 of 19 August 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in foodstuffs  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (2) sets maximum levels for benzo(a)pyrene in a range of foodstuffs.(2) Benzo(a)pyrene belongs to the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and is used as a marker for the occurrence and effect of carcinogenic PAH in food based on a scientific opinion of the former Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) (3). In its opinion of December 2002, the SCF recommended that further analyses of the relative proportions of these PAH in foods would be necessary for a future review of the suitability of maintaining benzo(a)pyrene as a marker.(3) New data on occurrence of carcinogenic PAH in foodstuffs have been collected by the Member States in the framework of Commission Recommendation 2005/108/EC (4). The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to review the SCF opinion taking into account the new occurrence data, other relevant new scientific information as well as the Margin of Exposure (MOE) approach. Within this review, EFSA was asked to re-assess the suitability of maintaining benzo(a)pyrene as a marker.(4) The Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) of EFSA adopted an opinion on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Food on 9 June 2008 (5). In this opinion EFSA concluded that benzo(a)pyrene is not a suitable marker for the occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in food and that a system of four specific substances (PAH4 (6)) or eight specific substances (PAH8 (7)) would be the most suitable indicators of PAH in food. EFSA also concluded that a system of eight substances (PAH8) would not provide much added value compared to a system of four substances (PAH4).(5) Furthermore, the CONTAM Panel concluded, using the Margin of Exposure (MOE) approach, that there is low concern for consumer health at the average estimated dietary exposures. However, for high level consumers the MOEs were close to or less than 10 000, which indicates a potential concern for consumer health.(6) Based on the conclusions of EFSA, the current system of using benzo(a)pyrene as the only marker for the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, can not be maintained. An amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is therefore necessary.(7) New maximum levels for the sum of four substances (PAH4) (benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and chrysene) should be introduced, whilst maintaining a separate maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene.(8) Such system would ensure that PAH levels in food are kept at levels that do not cause health concern and that the amount of PAH can also be controlled in those samples in which benzo(a)pyrene is not detectable, but where other PAH are present.(9) The separate maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene is maintained to ensure comparability of previous and future data. After a certain time of implementation of this amendment and on basis of new data that will be generated in future, the need for retaining a separate maximum level for benzo(a) pyrene should be re-assessed.(10) As regards the sum of the four substances (PAH4), lower bound concentrations should be used as the basis for compliance decisions.(11) Maximum levels for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons must be safe and as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) based upon good manufacturing and agricultural/fishery practices. The new PAH occurrence data show that background levels of PAH are lower than previously thought in some food commodities. Benzo(a)pyrene maximum levels have therefore been adapted to reflect more realistic lower background levels in fresh and smoked bivalve molluscs.(12) Data for smoked fish and smoked meat have also shown that lower maximum levels are achievable. Nevertheless, adaptations of current smoking technology may be necessary in some cases. Therefore, a two step procedure should be established for smoked meat and smoked fish which grants a transition of two years from the date of application of this Regulation before lower maximum levels become applicable.(13) Smoked sprats and canned smoked sprats have been found to contain higher levels of PAH than other smoked fish. Specific maximum levels should be established for smoked sprats and canned smoked sprats in order to reflect what is achievable in these foodstuffs.(14) Previously a maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene in ""muscle meat of fish other than smoked fish"" was established as an indicator for potential environmental pollution. Nevertheless, it has been shown that PAH are quickly metabolised in fresh fish and do not accumulate in the muscle meat. Therefore, maintaining a maximum level for PAH in fresh fish is no longer appropriate.(15) High levels of PAH have been found in some types of heat treated meat and heat treated meat products sold to the final consumer. These levels are avoidable if appropriate processing conditions and equipment are used. It is therefore appropriate to establish maximum levels for PAH in meat and meat products that have undergone a heat treatment process known to potentially result in formation of PAH, i.e. only grilling and barbecuing.(16) Cocoa butter was temporarily exempted from the existing maximum level for benzo(a)pyrene in oils and fats under Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 and a review of the appropriateness of setting a maximum level for PAH in cocoa butter was foreseen by 1 April 2007. The review was then postponed pending the result of the then ongoing scientific re-assessment of PAH by EFSA.(17) Cocoa butter contains higher levels of PAH than other oils and fats. This is mainly due to inappropriate drying practices of the cocoa beans and the fact that cocoa butter can not be refined as other vegetable oils and fats. Cocoa butter is a main constituent of cocoa raw products (e.g. cocoa beans, cocoa mass, cocoa nibs or cocoa liquor) and is present in chocolate and other cocoa products often consumed by children. It thereby contributes to human exposure, in particular to exposure of children. It is therefore necessary to establish maximum levels for PAH in cocoa beans and derived products, thereby also including cocoa butter.(18) Maximum levels for PAH in cocoa beans should be established at levels as low as reasonably achievable and taking into account the current technological possibilities of producing countries. They should be established on a fat basis since PAH concentrate in the fat fraction, the cocoa butter. To allow producing countries to make technological improvements in order to adapt to these maximum levels, the date of application of the maximum levels for cocoa beans and derived products should be deferred. Furthermore, initially a higher maximum level for the sum of the four substances should apply to these products. After a transition period of two years a lower maximum level should apply. The levels of PAH in cocoa beans and derived products should be regularly monitored with a view to assessing the possibility for further decreasing the maximum levels in future.(19) Data have shown that coconut oil can contain higher amounts of PAH4 than other vegetable oils and fats. This is due to the proportionally higher presence of benz(a)anthracene and chrysene which can not be easily removed during refinement of coconut oil. Specific maximum levels for coconut oil should therefore be set at levels as low as reasonably achievable and taking into account the current technological possibilities of producing countries. As technological improvements in producing countries are expected, the levels of PAH in coconut oil should be regularly monitored with a view to assessing the possibility for setting lower levels in future.(20) Current occurrence data on PAH in cereals and vegetables are limited. The available data indicate that cereals and vegetables contain rather low levels of PAH. The low levels seen in the currently available occurrence data do not justify the immediate setting of maximum levels. Nevertheless, EFSA identified cereals and vegetables as being important contributors to human exposure due to their high consumption. Therefore, PAH levels in these two product groups should be further monitored. On the basis of further data, the need for setting maximum levels will be evaluated.(21) High levels of PAH have been found in some food supplements. Nevertheless, the levels are variable and depend on the specific type of food supplements. Further data on food supplements are needed and should be collected. Once these data become available, the need for setting maximum levels for PAH in food supplements will be evaluated.(22) Member States and food business operators should be allowed time to adapt to the maximum levels established by this Regulation. The date of application of this Regulation should therefore be deferred. A transitional period should be provided for the products already placed on the market before the date of application of the amendments introduced by this Regulation.(23) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,.

31361,"2006/385/EC: Decision of the European Central Bank of  19 May 2006  amending Decision ECB/2001/16 on the allocation of monetary income of the national central banks of participating Member States from the financial year 2002  (ECB/2006/7). ,Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 32 thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision ECB/2001/16 of 6 December 2001 on the allocation of monetary income of the national central banks of participating Member States from the financial year 2002 (1) establishes a regime for the allocation of monetary income of the national central banks of Member States that have adopted the euro. Pursuant to Article 32.5 of the Statute, the sum of the NCBs’ monetary income is allocated to the NCBs in proportion to their paid-up shares in the capital of the ECB. In order to allow for a gradual adaptation of the NCBs’ balance sheets and profit and loss accounts, the monetary income allocation for the financial years 2002 to 2007 has been adjusted to take into account the differences between the average value of banknotes in circulation of each NCB during the period from 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2001 and the average value of banknotes that would have been allocated to them during that period in accordance with the ECB’s capital key. These adjustments include net intra-Eurosystem liabilities on euro banknotes in circulation which are in the liability base for the purposes of calculating the NCBs’ monetary income under Article 32.2 of the Statute, as they are equivalent to banknotes in circulation.(2) The future enlargement of the Eurosystem makes it necessary to adapt the existing regime for the allocation of monetary income. For reasons of fairness, consistency and equal treatment, new Eurosystem NCBs should be treated in the same way financially as existing Eurosystem NCBs. This means that an adjustment procedure should be applied each time a Member State adopts the euro and should follow the same principles as the adjustment procedure for the financial years 2002 to 2007. As a consequence, overlapping of adjustment periods may occur.(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro (2) allows new participating Member States some flexibility as regards the substitution of the euro for their currencies and the introduction of euro banknotes and coins. In order for the adjustment procedure to achieve financially appropriate solutions, the individual changeover scenarios have to be taken into account,. Decision ECB/2001/16 is amended as follows:1. Article 1 is amended as follows:‘(j) “cash change-over date” means the date on which euro banknotes and coins acquire the status of legal tender in a Member State which has adopted the euro;(k) “reference period” means a period of 24 months starting 30 months before the cash changeover date;(l) “cash change-over year” means a period of 12 months starting on the cash change-over date;(m) “daily foreign exchange reference rate” means the daily foreign exchange reference rate that is based on the regular daily concertation procedure between central banks within and outside the ESCB, which normally takes place at 14.15 Central European Time.’2. Article 2 is amended as follows:3. Article 4 is replaced by the following:C is the compensatory amount,K is the euro amount for each NCB that results from the application of the subscribed capital key to the average value of banknotes in circulation during the reference period, whereby the amount of banknotes in circulation denominated in the national currency of a Member State that adopts the euro shall be translated into euro at the daily foreign exchange reference rate during the reference period,A is the average euro value for each NCB of banknotes in circulation during the reference period, translated into euro at the daily foreign exchange reference rate during the reference period,S is the following coefficient for each financial year, starting with the cash change-over date:Financial year CoefficientCash change-over year 1Cash change-over year plus one year 0,8606735Cash change-over year plus two years 0,7013472Cash change-over year plus three years 0,5334835Cash change-over year plus four years 0,3598237Cash change-over year plus five years 0,18172254.

If this derogation is applied, one quarter of the resulting reduction in the NCBs’ compensatory amounts (“C”) applicable in the cash change-over year must be added to each of the NCBs’ compensatory amounts applicable in the second to fifth year following the cash change-over year under Article 4(1).B.   Second contingent adjustmentIf those NCBs for which the compensatory amount referred to in Article 4(1) is a positive figure pay net remuneration on intra-Eurosystem balances on banknotes in circulation that results in a net expense when added to the item “net result of pooling of monetary income” in their profit and loss account at the end of the year, then the coefficient “S” applying to the cash change-over year in accordance with Article 4(1) must be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate this condition.The reduction must not result in a coefficient lower than 0,8606735. If this derogation is applied, one quarter of the resulting reduction in the NCBs’ compensatory amounts (“C”) applicable in the cash change-over year must be added to each of the NCBs’ compensatory amounts applicable in the second to fifth year following the cash change-over year under Article 4(1).’

However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.(6) Gentamicin, Piperazine and Abamectin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(7) Allantoin and Benzocaine should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(8) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC(3) of the European Parliament and of the Council to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,. Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

Importers have lodged applications for import licences with the competent national authorities between 22 November 2003 and 15.00, Brussels time, on 31 December 2003, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003.(2) The Commission has received from the Member States and the acceding States, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003, particulars of the numbers and aggregate volume of import licence applications submitted and the total volume imported by traditional importers in 1998 or 1999 (Member States) and in 2001 or 2002 (acceding States), the reference years.(3) The Commission is now able, on the basis of that information, to establish uniform quantitative criteria by which the competent national authorities may satisfy licence applications submitted by importers in the Member States and the acceding States for the second tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas.(4) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States and the acceding States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by traditional importers for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation exceeds or is lower than the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction or increase shown in Annex I to the volume of each importer's imports, expressed in quantity or value terms, over the reference period.(5) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States and the acceding States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by non-traditional importers for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex II to the amounts requested by each importer, as limited by Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003.(6) Quantities not taken up by non-traditional importers were transferred to traditional importers,. In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex I duly submitted by traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to his imports for 1998 or 1999 (Member States) and for 2001 or 2002 (acceding States), as indicated by the importer, adjusted by the rate of reduction/increase specified in the said Annex for each quota.Where the use of this quantitative criterion would entail allocating an quantity greater than that applied for, the quantity allocated shall be limited to that specified in the application. In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex II duly submitted by non-traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to the amount requested within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003, adjusted by the rate of reduction specified in the said Annex for each quota.

42434,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 267/2013 of 18 March 2013 approving a minor amendment to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Chianti Classico (PDO)). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 entered into force on 3 January 2013. It repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).(2) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined Italy’s application for the approval of an amendment to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Chianti Classico’ registered in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 2446/2000 (3), as amended by Regulation (EU) No 216/2011 (4).(3) The aim of the application is to amend the specification by specifying the description of the product and the method of production and packaging.(4) The Commission has examined the amendments in question and decided that they are justified. Since the amendment is minor the Commission may approve it without recourse to the procedure laid down in Articles 50 to 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012,. The specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Chianti Classico’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation. Annex II to this Regulation contains the Single Document setting out the main points of the specification. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.. Done at Brussels, 18 March 2013.For the Commission, On behalf of the President,Dacian CIOLOȘMember of the Commission(1)  OJ L 343, 14.12.2012, p. 1.(2)  OJ L 93, 31.3.2006, p. 12.(3)  OJ L 281, 7.11.2000, p. 12.(4)  OJ L 59, 4.3.2011, p. 17.ANNEX IThe specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Chianti Classico’ is amended as follows:—   Description of productA reference to the Tuscan olive germ plasm register has been added, as this document is regularly updated to take account of current scientific and genetic research into old olive trees in our area.This amendment does not, however, result from a desire to introduce new varieties but rather from a wish to improve our knowledge in order to introduce varities which, although they have existed for a long time, have not yet been described and registered.—   Method of productionGrowing characteristicsRegarding the characteristics of the growing environment, it was thought useful to lower by 20 metres the minimum altitude below which the olive trees may not be entered in the register, as the minimum altitude of the entire area is 180 metres above sea level. When the first version of the specification was drawn up the measurement systems used were not as precise as those used today. Thanks to modern GPS systems greater precision has now been possible.Oil productionA new production level has been introduced for olive plantations with a density greater than 500 plants per hectare, since the ‘Chianti Classico’ area includes plantations dating from the 1990s which meet the technical criteria of that time and for which the limit of 650 kg of oil per hectare is a major impediment to the economy and the development of the sector.Harvesting and conservation methodAlongside boxes, crates and waggons may be used to transport the olives, but in this case the olives must be transported to the mill for processing on the day of harvesting and within three (3) days if open boxes are used.Oil extraction method and constitution of batchesIt is now possible to use air to clean the olives, as new technological systems developed by manufacturers and already used in other producing countries have been introduced, in order to attach even greater importance to conserving water.Validity of the certificate of conformityOil complying with the specification may be bottled up to 31 October of the year following that of the olive harvest if it is filtered to clarify it by 31 December and, in any case, at the latest by the application date for certification.If the oil exhibits the chemical and organoleptic characteristics listed in the specifications, and if the conservation conditions are correct, these conditions may differ slightly in terms of quality without, however, jeopardising the criteria of ‘Chianti Classico’ PDO oil. The filtration method has been added, specifying that its aim is to clarify the oil (rather than merely to filter out the solids) and that it must be carried out by 31 December at the latest, with the aim of teaching olive growers conservation techniques which are better suited to marketing a quality product.It has also been specified that the oil’s physical characteristics must be definitive at the time it is sampled, i.e. if the compliant oil is to be bottled, at the latest by 31 October of the year following that of harvesting, and that the clarifying filtration must be carried out by 31 December at the latest, or in any case prior to sampling, if the application in question is received before 31 December.The amendment adds the option of not filtering the oil, so as not to restrict the freedom of the grower, but the oil must be conserved under inert gas so as to best preserve its qualitative characteristics.—   Other (packaging)Metal containers may now be used for formats of less than 3 and 5 litres.Indeed, containers of less than 100 ml have been added, on condition that these are not sold individually but rather placed on the market in packaging with a total volume corresponding to those authorised by the regulations. This amendment stems from the need to meet market demands, i.e. these smaller containers will allow retailers to satisfy the expectations of the gastronomic sector, which prefers not to use already-opened bottles, and to guarantee product promotion by improving its visibility.ANNEX IISINGLE DOCUMENTCouncil regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (1)‘CHIANTI CLASSICO’EC No.: IT-PDO-0205-0977-07.11.2011PGI ( ) PDO ( X )1.   Name‘Chianti Classico’2.   Member State or third countryItaly3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff3.1.   Type of productClass 1.5. Oils and fats (butter, margarine, oils, etc.)3.2.   Description of product to which the name in point 1 applies‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil must be produced from olives from registered olive trees in a proportion of at least 80 % from the varieties Frantoio, Correggiolo, Moraiolo and Leccino, alone or together, and not more than 20 % from other local varieties, which must always be entered in the Tuscan olive germ plasm register.When released for consumption as ‘Chianti Classico’ PDO, the oil must have the following characteristics:— acidity (expressed as oleic acid): 0,5 % maximum,— peroxide value: 12 maximum (meq of oxygen),— ultraviolet absorbency: K232 maximum 2,1 and K270 maximum 0,2,— high oleic acid content: > 72 %,— total CMPs (phenol antioxidants) above 150 ppm,— total tocopherols above 140 ppm.The oil must in addition:— range in colour from deep green to green with golden tones,— have a distinct olive aroma and a fruity taste.The entries in the profile sheet completed by the panel of assessors must be as follows:(a) green fruity 3-8;(b) bitter 2-8;(c) sharp 2-8.3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)—3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)—3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical areaThe cultivation, production and pressing of ‘Chianti Classico’ extra-virgin olive oil must take place within the production area specified under point 4.3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.‘Chianti Classico’ oil must be put up in the production area in glass or metal containers of a specified volume in nominal quantities of up to 5 (five) litres. Glass, metal or PET containers of less than 100 ml are also allowed, provided that their packaging complies with the total capacities authorised by the regulations in force. Containers must be closed hermetically using a device which, upon opening, breaks the guarantee seal.‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil must be put up in the geographical production area so as to better guarantee the product’s proof of origin and avoid deterioration and loss of the product’s specific characteristics, defined in 3.2 above, when it is transported in bulk, in particular the typical bitter and sharp notes of ‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil, determined by the phenol antioxidant content and the profile of aromatic substances. Exposure to oxygen in the air when being transferred, pumped, transported and unloaded — operations carried out more frequently if bottling takes place outside the production area — could cause the ‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil to lose the specific characteristics defined in 3.2 above.3.7.   Specific rules concerning labellingThe labelling on containers must bear, in addition to the particulars normally required by law and trade practice, the words ‘Olio Extravergine di Oliva Chianti Classico’ followed immediately by the words ‘Denominazione di Origine Protetta’ and show clearly in indelible letters the year of production.It is prohibited to add to the designation any description not expressly provided for in the production specification. However, marks denoting producer groups, names of holdings, estates or farms and place names referring to locations where olives are genuinely grown may be included.The designation must be shown on the label in clear, indelible letters sufficiently intense in colour to contrast sharply with the colour of the label. The graphic characters of any additional wording may not exceed 50 % of the size of the wording of the designation.4.   Concise definition of the geographical areaThe production area for ‘Chianti Classico’ oil comprises, in the Provinces of Siena and Florence, the following administrative districts: the whole of Castellina in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Greve in Chianti and Radda in Chianti, and parts of Barberino Val d’Elsa, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Poggibonsi, San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.The area is the same as the production area for ‘Chianti Classico’ wine set out in the Interministerial Decree of 31 July 1932, published in GURI (Italian State Gazette) No 209 of 9 September 1932.5.   Link with the geographical area5.1.   Specificity of the geographical areaThe production area of ‘Chianti Classico’ oil has specific climatic and hydrological characteristics and has been well mapped out since the 14th century.The production area is fairly uniform in terms of terrain and climate; autumns which are on average mild and dry give way to hard winters. The environment as a whole is such that olive trees can be cultivated at the limit of their natural growth zone, which has and indeed continues to influence the olives’ fructification and maturing process.According to the cultivation techniques which have always been used in this area, the olives are harvested directly from the tree before they are fully mature.The thermal conditions also determine the shape of the trees (normally branching out at the top) adopted by the local growers, which allows the crown to grow so as to better distribute light and heat in the crown, which help the trees develop during short periods of the year.5.2.   Specificity of the product‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil is made from varieties traditionally grown in Tuscany and is distinguished by its sensory profile, mainly due to its intense bitter and sharp taste, with fruity aromatic notes.5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)The chemical and organoleptic characteristics of ‘Chianti Classico’ PDO extra virgin olive oil are linked to the climate of the production area which has a direct influence on the quality and quantity of the phenols, the degree of bitterness and sharpness of the taste and the level of fruitiness.In view of the need to protect the olives from the first autumn frosts, they are traditionally harvested early (i.e. before they are fully mature). Even if this means a lower quantity of oil, it allows the olives to be harvested when their polyphenol content is still high, helping to intensify the bitter and sharp taste so typical of ‘Chianti Classico’ oil. Moreover, thanks to the major variations in temperature normal in this area in autumn, ‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil is also distinguished by a very fruity aroma.The area was given more precise recognition in an edict issued by Duke Cosimo III in 1716 marking out its present boundaries in acknowledgement of the merits and distinctive features of its wine and olive production: a kind of PDO long before the term was invented. A complete theoretical and practical treatise on the olive by G. Tavanti in 1819 listed the main varieties grown in the Chianti Classico region.Reference to publication of the specification[Article 5(7) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006]The consolidated text of the product specification is available on the following website:http://www.politicheagricole.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/3335or alternatively:by going direct to the home page of the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policy (www.politicheagricole.it) and clicking on ‘Qualità e sicurezza’ (at the top right of the screen) and then on ‘Disciplinari di Produzione all’esame dell’UE’.(1)  Replaced by Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs.

2171,"Council Regulation (EC) No 965/97 of 26 May 1997 opening and providing for the management of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain live fish originating in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas the Agreements in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and the Czech Republic signed on 22 September 1994 (1) and between the European Community and the Slovak Republic, signed on 28 October 1994 (2) concerning fish have supplemented the European Agreements with these two countries by providing inter alia for duty-free tariff quotas for live trout and carp;Whereas, following the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden, the Council agreed that existing preferential exports to these countries of 150 tonnes of live trout originating in the Slovak Republic and 310 tonnes of live carp originating in the Czech Republic should be taken into account; whereas it also agreed to renew the Agreements in the form of an exchange of letters by adding the quantities arising from enlargement to those already provided for;Whereas these tariff measures will be set out in additional protocols to the Europe Agreements with the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic; whereas these concessions should be implemented autonomously pending the entry into force of these protocols; whereas tariff quotas for the products should be opened from 1 January 1997 and apply until the entry into force of the additional protocols;Whereas all Community importers should be assured equal and uninterrupted access to the tariff quotas; whereas the rates laid down for these quotas should apply to all imports of the product in question in all the Member States until the quotas are exhausted;Whereas a decision on the opening of autonomous tariff quotas has to be taken by the Community; whereas there is no reason why the Member States should not, in the interests of an efficient common management of the quotas, be authorized to draw on the quotas for the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this type of management calls for close liaison between the Member States and the Commission, the latter having to be in a position to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and notify the Member States accordingly,. Import duties on products listed in the Annex originating in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia are hereby suspended at the levels and within the limits of the annual Community tariff quotas set for each. The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently. Where an importer presents a declaration for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and for a product covered by this Regulation and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants on a pro rata basis. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits. The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall apply from 1 January 1997.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Article 2 of Directive 85/210/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:'Article 21. As from the entry into force of this Directive, and subject to paragraphs 2 and 4, Member States shall continue to ensure the availability and balanced distribution of leaded petrol within their territories.2. If, as the result of a sudden change in the supply of crude oil or petroleum products, it becomes difficult for a Member State to apply the limit on the maximum lead content of leaded petrol, that Member State may, after having informed the Commission, authorize a higher limit within its territory for a period of four months. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may extend this period.3. Member States shall, as soon as they consider it appropriate, reduce to 0,15 g Pb/litre the permitted lead-compound content, calculated in terms of lead, of leaded petrol put on their markets.4. Member States may prohibit the marketing in their territory of leaded petrol having a motor octane number (MON) lower than 85 at the pump and a research octane number (RON) lower than 95 at the pump if such a measure is justified on grounds of the protection of human health and the environment and promotes the availability and balanced distribution of unleaded petrol within their territory in accordance with Article 3 (1).5. If a Member State introduces into its rules the prohibition referred to in paragraph 4, it shall give at least six months' notice to the Commission and to the public. The Commission shall immediately inform the other Member States. Within three months of the date on which it receives notification from the Member State, the Commission shall examine the measures envisaged to ensure that they comply with this Directive and with other provisions of Community law.'

35116,"2008/437/EC: Commission Decision of 11 June 2008 amending Decision 2006/109/EC accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain castings 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), and in particular Article 8 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   EXISTING MEASURES(1) In July 2005, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain castings originating in the People's Republic of China (the PRC).(2) The Commission, by Decision 2006/109/EC (3), accepted a price undertaking from, inter alia, the Benito Group, including Fundició Dúctil Benito, S.L. (Spain), Benito France, S.A.R.L, Zibo Benito Metalwork Co. Ltd, Benito (Tianjin) Metals Products Co. Ltd, and Qingdao Benito Metals Products Co. Ltd (Benito Group or the companies).(3) The companies from which the undertaking was accepted have a joint and several liability for any infringement of the undertaking. This means that if one of the members of the Benito Group breaches the undertaking, it should be withdrawn for all members of the group.B.   BREACHES OF THE UNDERTAKING1.   Obligations of the companies under the undertaking(4) The undertaking offered by the companies obliges them to, inter alia, resell the product covered to the first independent customer in the European Community above a certain minimum re-sale price (MRP) as stated in the undertaking, as well as in the side letter attached to it.(5) In section 3.1 of the undertaking the companies undertook to ensure that the product concerned, after any direct or deferred discounts or rebates, credits or other benefits granted, whether directly or indirectly linked to a sale, on a CIF price level, is not sold below the MRP.(6) In section 3.10 of the undertaking, the companies undertook to calculate the MRP on ‘cash’ or equivalent payment terms, i.e. with zero credit granted to the customer. In accordance with the same section of the undertaking if the payment terms (specified on the Commercial Invoice or on the re-sale invoice, or as otherwise contractually agreed) differ from ‘cash’ or equivalent payment terms, then the price to be compared with the MRP should be reduced by 1 % for each additional month of credit granted on a pro-rata basis.(7) The terms of the undertaking also obliged the companies to provide the Commission with regular and detailed information, in the form of a quarterly report of its sales and re-sales of the product concerned to the European Community. Such reports should include the re-sale transactions of the products covered by the undertaking purchased from the related companies in the PRC, as well as those re-sale transactions of the product covered where the purchases were made from any other Chinese companies.(8) In addition, and as stipulated in the undertaking, the companies undertook to consult with the European Commission regarding any difficulties which may arise during the implementation and subsequent application of the undertaking.(9) For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the undertaking, the companies also undertook to allow on-spot verification visits at its premises in order to verify the accuracy and veracity of data submitted in the said quarterly reports and to provide all information considered necessary by the Commission.2.   Results of the verification visit to Fundició Dúctil Benito(10) A verification visit was carried out at the premises of Fundició Dúctil Benito (the company) in Spain from 2 July 2007 until 3 July 2007. The verification visit covered the period from 1 April 2006 until 31 March 2007.(11) The verification visit established that in 13 transactions the MRP was not respected because the company issued credit notes concerning these transactions with no other underlying economic justification than to lower the re-sale price shown on the invoice. These transactions fall below the MRP by an average of 10 %.(12) During the verification visit the company stated that this could occur because its sales personnel was not aware that an MRP had to be respected for the re-sales of certain castings (namely the ones bought from its related Chinese producers).(13) Moreover, the MRP was not respected in a further 39 transactions as the company did not take into consideration that the MRP was calculated on ‘cash or equivalent basis’; i.e. when it agreed on the payment terms for a particular transaction it did not increase its re-sale price compared to the MRP with 1 % for each additional month granted for payment. Therefore, the company failed to fulfil its obligation under section 3.10 of the undertaking. These transactions were on average 7 % below the MRP.(14) During the verification visit the company acknowledged that it was not aware of the fact that ‘cash or equivalent basis’ means maximum 10 days of payment terms. The company was erroneously considering it to be 30 days instead.3.   Reasons to withdraw the acceptance of the undertaking(15) The facts set out in recitals 9 and 11 led to the conclusion that the obligation of the company to respect the MRP for all re-sale transactions of the product covered was not met.(16) For 13 transactions the company issued credit notes with no other economic justification but to lower the price shown on the invoice, which resulted in the re-sale price on average falling below the MRP by 10 %.(17) For a further 39 transactions, the MRP was not respected due to the company's failure to take due account of the calculation of the MRP on ‘cash or equivalent basis’. The average re-sale price of these transactions falls 7 % below the MRP.4.   Written submissions and hearing(a)   Complexity of the undertaking(18) The company acknowledged during the on-spot verification that it did not report all the re-sales transactions of the product covered, but only those for which the products were purchased from the related companies.(19) The company argued in its written submission that certain reporting violations could occur because of the complexity of the undertaking text and because it did not receive any feedback on its reports from the Commission's services.(20) In respect of the reporting problems, it is pointed out that the company received clear instructions on how to report.(21) Moreover, the Commission's services always answered the company's questions regarding the implementation of the undertaking in a timely manner.(22) It should be further noted that it is not customary for the Commission's services to send out feedback on the quarterly reports to the companies unless certain problems are identified during the desk-analyses of the reports.(23) In this case, problems related to the MRP were first identified as a result of the quarterly report submitted on 15 April 2007 on which the company was consulted on 23 May 2007. These issues were examined during the verification visit carried out on 2-3 July 2007. During this verification visit, other reporting problems were also found which could only have been identified during an on-spot verification visit. The company was briefed immediately on this issue.(b)   Proportionality(24) With regard to the price violations, the company admitted that a price violation occurred on 52 occasions, but it claimed that this would be a minor portion of the total number of transactions in the period considered and that, in accordance with the principle of proportionality, the undertaking should not be withdrawn.(25) In response to these arguments, it should be pointed out that, in accordance with the undertaking, the company undertook to ensure that the re-sale price of all transactions covered by the undertaking shall be at or above the MRP set out in the undertaking.(26) Moreover, regarding the issue of proportionality, the basic Regulation contains no direct or indirect requirement that a breach of an undertaking must relate to a minimum percentage of sales.(27) This approach has also been confirmed by the jurisprudence of the Court of First Instance which has ruled that any breach of an undertaking is sufficient to justify the withdrawal of acceptance of an undertaking (4).(28) Accordingly, the arguments presented by the company with regard to proportionality do not alter the Commission's view that a breach of the undertaking occurred and that the acceptance of the undertaking should be withdrawn.(c)   Precedent invoked by the company(29) The company also referred to a case where a new undertaking offer was accepted from a company from which the acceptance of its previous undertaking had been withdrawn as a consequence of violations (5).(30) In the case invoked as a precedent the company breached its original undertaking by failing to submit its undertaking report in due time. Later on, upon request of the company, an interim review was initiated and during the review the company could prove that it introduced new measures so that it could ensure that no further reporting breach of the undertaking would happen.(31) In this regard it has to be noted that the case the company is referring to as a precedent is not directly comparable as (i) the breach of the undertaking was formal in nature (i.e. late submission of the undertaking report); and (ii) the Commission withdrew the undertaking and only accepted a new undertaking in the framework of an interim review at a later stage. The argument of the company is therefore dismissed.(d)   Undertaking related practices of the company(32) The company argued that during the verification visit, it voluntarily notified the Commission's officials that there were certain transactions which fell below the accepted MRP due to credit notes issued. However, firstly, this does not change the fact that violations occurred. Secondly, this notification happened only after the Commission's services had analysed the quarterly report submitted on the 15 April 2007 and as a result of the analysis, requested further information and thus drew the company's attention to the problem. Therefore, it was the Commission's services that drew the company's attention to the problem following a desk analysis of the quarterly reports submitted.(33) The company argued that at the time of submitting its regular reports to the Commission, the company felt that the reports were complete, exhaustive and correct in all particulars and that the company thought that the MRP was respected.(34) The company also emphasised that the management and the personnel responsible for reporting was not aware of the fact that the sales personnel issued credit notes which resulted in re-sales prices falling below the MRP.(35) During the hearings and the written submissions, the company informed the Commission that one salesman was responsible for these actions and that this person is not working for the company any more.(36) Moreover, it was submitted that the company implemented changes in order to correct the mistakes: a restrictive policy concerning the issuing of credit notes was applied, the re-sales prices were increased and the company updated its computerised system. Furthermore, the sales personnel were informed about the details of the undertaking.(37) Referring to the recitals above it must be noted that the fact that the management was not aware of any possible price violations and/or the activities of the sales personnel related to the undertaking does not exempt the company from respecting the obligations of the undertaking. Furthermore, the actions initiated to remedy the situation were introduced only after the Commission's services have drawn the company's attention to the problems. In light of the above, the repeated occurrence of the errors and the price violation caused by these activities warrants the withdrawal of the undertaking despite the actions taken after the on-spot verification visit.C.   AMENDMENT OF DECISION 2006/109/EC(38) In view of the above, the acceptance of the undertaking offered by the Benito Group, including Fundició Dúctil Benito (Spain), Benito France, S.A.R.L, Zibo Benito Metalwork Co. Ltd, Benito (Tianjin) Metals Products Co. Ltd, and Qingdao Benito Metals Products Co. Ltd, should be withdrawn and Article 1 of Decision 2006/109/EC should be amended. Accordingly, the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005, under ‘All other companies’, should apply to the products manufactured by Zibo Benito Metalwork Co., Ltd, Benito (Tianjin) Metals Products Co. Ltd, and Qingdao Benito Metals Products Co. Ltd,. Acceptance of the undertaking in relation to re-sale of certain castings offered by the Benito Group, including Fundició Dúctil Benito (Spain), Benito France, S.A.R.L, Zibo Benito Metalwork Co.

35654,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 313/2008 of 3 April 2008 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 as regards import requirements for bovine meat from Brazil. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (2) provides that import licences are valid 90 days from their date of issue.(2) Commission Decision 2008/61/EC of 17 January 2008 amending Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC as regards the imports of bovine fresh meat from Brazil (3) has modified the import requirements for bovine meat from Brazil. That Decision provides that it is only possible to allow imports to continue on a secure basis by strengthening the control and surveillance of holdings from which animals eligible for export to the Community are sourced and by establishing a provisional list of such approved holdings drawn up by Brazil for which certain guarantees are provided.(3) In recent years Brazil has been the main supplier of beef on the Community market, accounting for around two-thirds of the total Community imports in the beef sector. As a result of the application of Decision 2008/61/EC, operators that had obtained, prior to the entry into force of that Decision, import licences for the importation of bovine meat within the import tariff quotas referred to in Article 2(d) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 936/97 of 27 May 1997 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas for high-quality fresh, chilled and frozen beef and frozen buffalo meat (4), Commission Regulation (EC) No 529/2007 of 11 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of a tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals covered by CN code 0202 and products covered by CN code 0206 29 91 (1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008) (5) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 545/2007 of 16 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for frozen beef intended for processing (1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008) (6), are faced with certain practical difficulties to source the products within the normal period of the validity of the import licences. In view of these particular circumstances, the validity of the licences should, on a temporary basis, be extended until the end of the import tariff quota period.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, for the import tariff quota period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008, the licences issued in accordance with Article 2(d) of Regulation (EC) No 936/97, Regulation (EC) No 529/2007 and Regulation (EC) No 545/2007 shall be valid until 30 June 2008.

19862,"2000/527/EC: Council Decision of 14 August 2000 amending Decision 93/731/EC on public access to Council documents and Council Decision 2000/23/EC on the improvement of information on the Council's legislative activities and the public register of Council documents. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Union, and in particular Article 207 thereof,Having regard to its Rules of Procedure, and in particular Article 10 thereof,Whereas:(1) The European Council, meeting in Helsinki in December 1999, provided political impetus for the development of the European Union's means for military and non-military crisis management within the framework of a strengthened European security and defence policy.(2) In this context, the Council must introduce rules guaranteeing effective protection of documents concerning these matters disclosure of which could harm the essential interests of the Union or of one or more of its Member States. For this reason, under the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council(1), such documents must be classified as TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET or SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL.(3) The seriousness of the consequences of disclosure of such documents, in particular with regard to the prospective development of the new strengthened European security and defence policy, and the necessary confidence which those involved must be able to have at a crucial moment in the development of this policy, justify the exclusion of such documents from the scope of the rules on public access to Council documents until such time as they are declassified, or declassified in accordance with the rules referred to in recital 2 concerning classification of documents.(4) The exchange of information in the particularly sensitive areas referred to in recital 1, which is one of the features of the development of this new policy, will work only if the originator of such information can be confident that no information put out by him will be disclosed against his will. It is therefore necessary to provide that a Council document from which conclusions may be drawn regarding the content of classified information put out by a natural or legal person, a Member State, another Community institution or body or any other national or international body may be made available to the public only with the prior written consent of the author of the information in question.(5) With the same objective of reinforcing protection of the confidentiality of information when scrutinising documents to which access has been requested, it should be provided that measures are taken to ensure compliance with the principle that access to classified documents must be reserved for those persons who are authorised to take cognisance thereof.(6) Since the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or military and non-military crisis management represent public interests which Decision 93/731/EC(2) is intended to protect, this should be specifically mentioned among the reasons justifying refusal of access to a document,. The provisions of Decision 93/731/EC is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 1(1) shall be replaced by the following:""1. The public shall have access to Council documents, except for documents classified as TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET, SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL within the meaning of the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council, on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management, under the conditions laid down in this Decision.Where a request for access refers to a classified document within the meaning of the first subparagraph, the applicant shall be informed that the document does not fall within the scope of this Decision.""2.

Without prejudice to Article 1(1), no Council document on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management which enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the content of classified information from one of the sources referred to in paragraph 2 may be made available to the public except with the prior written consent of the author of the information in question.Where access to a document is refused pursuant to this paragraph, the applicant shall be informed thereof.""3. Article 3(1) shall be replaced by the following:""1. The applicant shall have access to a Council document either by consulting it on the spot or by having a copy sent at his own expense. The fee shall be set by the Secretary-General/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (hereinafter referred to as the 'Secretary-General').""4. The first indent of Article 4(1) shall be replaced by the following:""- the protection of the public interest (public security, the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States, military or non-military crisis management, international relations, monetary stability, court proceedings, inspections and investigations),""5.

The following shall be added as the second subparagraph of Article 2:""The public register of Council documents contains no reference to documents classified TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET or SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL within the meaning of the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council, on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management.""2.

42171,"2013/737/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 7 November 2013 adopting a second updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region (notified under document C(2013) 7353). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) The Black Sea biogeographical region referred to in Article 1(c)(iii) of Directive 92/43/EEC comprises parts of the Union territories of Bulgaria and Romania, as specified in the biogeographical map approved on 20 April 2005 by the Committee set up by Article 20 of that Directive, hereinafter ‘the Habitats Committee’.(2) It is necessary in the context of a process which was initiated in 1995 to make further progress in the actual establishment of the Natura 2000 network, which is an essential element of the protection of biodiversity in the Union.(3) The initial list and the first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region, within the meaning of Directive 92/43/EEC, were adopted by Commission Decision 2009/92/EC (2) and Implementing Decision 2013/30/EU (3). On the basis of Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC, the Member State concerned has to designate the sites included in the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region as special areas of conservation as soon as possible and within six years at most, establishing conservation priorities and the necessary conservation measures.(4) In the context of a dynamic adaptation of the Natura 2000 network, the lists of sites of Community importance are reviewed. An update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region is therefore necessary.(5) On the one hand, the update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region is necessary in order to include additional sites that have been proposed since 2011 by Member States as sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC. For those additional sites, the obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC should apply as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of this Decision.(6) On the other hand, the update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region is necessary in order to reflect any changes in site-related information submitted by Member States following the adoption of the initial and the first updated Union lists. In that sense, this updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region constitutes a consolidated version of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region. It should be stressed that, for any site included in this Decision, the obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC should apply as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of the list of sites of Community importance in which the site was included for the first time.(7) For the Black Sea biogeographical region, lists of sites proposed as sites of Community importance within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC were transmitted to the Commission between March 2007 and October 2012, in accordance with Article 4(1) of that Directive 92/43/EEC.(8) The lists of proposed sites were accompanied by information on each site. Since 2012, that information was supplied in the format established by Commission Implementing Decision 2011/484/EU of 11 July 2011 concerning a site information format for Natura 2000 sites (4).(9) That information includes the map of the site transmitted by the Member States concerned, name, location and extent of the site, and the data yielded by application of the criteria specified in Annex III to Directive 92/43/EEC.(10) On the basis of the draft list drawn up by the Commission in agreement with each of the Member States concerned, which also identifies sites hosting priority natural habitat types or priority species, an updated list of sites selected as sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region should be adopted.(11) Knowledge of the existence and distribution of the natural habitat types and species is constantly evolving as a result of the surveillance undertaken in accordance with Article 11 of Directive 92/43/EEC. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of sites at Union level was carried out using the best available information at the time.(12) Certain Member States concerned have not proposed sufficient sites to meet the requirements of Directive 92/43/EEC for certain habitat types and species. For those habitat types and species it can therefore not be concluded that the Natura 2000 network is complete. Taking into account the delay in receiving the information and reaching agreement with the Member States, it is necessary to adopt an updated list of sites which will need to be reviewed in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.(13) Given that knowledge of the existence and distribution of some of the natural habitat types listed in Annex I and some of the species listed in Annex II to Directive 92/43/EEC remains incomplete, it should not be concluded that the network is either complete or incomplete. The list should be reviewed, if necessary, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.(14) In the interests of clarity and transparency, Implementing Decision 2013/30/EU should be repealed.(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Habitats Committee,. The second updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

42756,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 773/2013 of 12 August 2013 establishing a derogation from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the minimum distance from coast and the minimum sea depth for boat seines fishing for transparent goby ( Aphia minuta ) in certain territorial waters of Spain (Murcia). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (1), and in particular Article 13(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits the use of towed gears within 3 nautical miles of the coast or within the 50 m isobath where that depth is reached at a shorter distance from the coast.(2) At the request of a Member State, the Commission may allow a derogation from Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that a number of conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) are fulfilled.(3) On 17 April 2012 the Commission received a request for derogation from Spain to Article 13(1) of that Regulation, for the use of boat seines fishing for Transparent goby (Aphia minuta), within its territorial waters in the Autonomous Community of Murcia.(4) The request covers vessels registered in the Operational Fleet Official Census managed by the Directorate-General for Livestock and Fisheries of the Autonomous Community of Murcia which have a track record in the fishery of more than five years and will operate under a management plan regulating boat seines fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta).(5) The management plan guarantees no future increase in the fishing effort, foreseeing that whenever one of the 29 authorised vessels stops the activity only a vessel with an equal or minor capacity in terms of power and length will be able to replace it in the Census.(6) The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) assessed the derogation requested by Spain and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 5 to 9 November 2012.(7) Spain has adopted the management plan by approving the ‘Order of 27 March 2013, of the regional Ministry for Agriculture and Water regulating the fishery of Transparent goby (Aphia minuta) in the internal waters of the region of Murcia’ (2) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.(8) The derogation requested by Spain complies with the conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.(9) In particular, given both the limited size of the continental shelf and the spatial distribution of the target species, which is exclusively limited to certain zones in the coastal areas at depths of less than 50 meters, the fishing grounds are limited.(10) Moreover, the fishery cannot be undertaken with other gears, has no significant impact on protected habitats and is very selective, since the seines are hauled in the water column and do not touch the seabed. Indeed collection of material from the seabed would damage the target species and make the selection of the fished species virtually impossible due to their very small size.(11) The derogation requested by Spain affects a limited number of vessels, since only 29 vessels are involved.(12) The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 concerning protected habitats which, by way of derogation, allows fishing above those habitats if fishing is operated without touching the seagrass bed under certain conditions.(13) The requirements of Article 8(1)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are not applicable since they relate to trawlers.(14) Since the fishing activities concerned are highly selective, have a negligible effect on the environment and are not affected by provisions in Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, they are eligible for the derogation to the minimum mesh size referred to in Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006. Therefore, the minimum mesh size rules set by Article 9(3) do not apply.(15) The Spanish management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, thus fulfilling the conditions set out in Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 and in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (3).(16) The fishing activities concerned take place at a very short distance from the coast and therefore do not interfere with the activities of other vessels.(17) The Spanish management plan ensures that catches of species mentioned in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are minimal and that the fishing activities do not target cephalopods.(18) Therefore, the requested derogation should be granted.(19) Spain should report to the Commission in due time and in accordance with the monitoring plan provided for in the Spanish management plan.(20) In line with the request by Spain, a limitation in duration of the derogation will allow ensuring prompt corrective management measures in case the report to the Commission will show a poor conservation status of the exploited stock while providing scope to improve the scientific basis for an improved management plan.(21) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,. 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 shall not apply, in territorial waters of Spain adjacent to the coast of the Autonomous Community of Murcia, to fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) by boat seines which are used by vessels:(a) registered in the maritime census managed by the Directorate-General for Livestock and Fisheries of the Autonomous Community of Murcia;(b) having a track record in the fishery of more than five years and not involving any future increase in fishing effort provided; and(c) holding a fishing authorisation and operating under the management plan adopted by Spain in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the management plan’).This derogation shall apply for a period of three years following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

33533,"2007/464/EC: Council Decision of 5 June 2007 abrogating Decision 2005/186/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Malta. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(12) thereof,Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,Whereas:(1) By Council Decision 2005/186/EC (1), following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Malta. The Council noted that the general government deficit was 9,7 % of GDP in 2003, of which 2,9 % of GDP was due to a one-off operation, this being above the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value, while general government gross debt stood at 72 % of GDP and was likely to further diverge from the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value in 2004.(2) On 5 July 2004, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (2), the Council addressed a recommendation to Malta with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end by 2006 at the latest. The recommendation was made public.(3) In accordance with Article 104(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.(4) In accordance with the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of the Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (3).(5) Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 8g(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 following the notification by Malta before 1 April 2007 and on the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, the following conclusions are warranted:— The general government deficit was reduced from 10 % of GDP in 2003 to 2,6 % of GDP in 2006, which is below the 3 % of GDP deficit reference value. This is slightly better than the target set for 2006 in the January 2006 update of the convergence programme, although somewhat above the targets endorsed by the Council in its recommendation under Article 104(7),— More than half (around four percentage points) of the 7,4 percentage points of GDP reduction in the deficit ratio between 2003 and 2006 was accounted for by higher revenue, reflecting changes in indirect taxation as well as more efficient tax collection. A lower ratio of expenditure to GDP explains the remaining 3,5 percentage points, in part reflecting higher recourse to one-off operations, namely sales of land, which are conventionally recorded as negative expenditure. The expenditure ratio would have declined by less if the substantial one-off expenditure-increasing operation related to the restructuring of the shipyards of around 3 % of GDP in 2003 is excluded. In addition, expenditure restraint was achieved through downsizing and restructuring of public entities, restrictions in hiring in the public service and control in social payments.— One-off deficit-reducing operations averaged around 1 % of GDP between 2004 and 2006. Without one-offs (0,7 % of GDP), the 2006 deficit would have remained above the reference value, at 3,3 % of GDP. The improvement in the structural balance, being the cyclically-adjusted balance net of one-off and other temporary measures, in 2006 is estimated at slightly above 1 % of GDP,— For 2007, the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast projects that the deficit will be reduced further, to 2,1 % of GDP, driven by additional expenditure savings. One-offs are envisaged to amount to 0,6 % of GDP, broadly similar in magnitude to the preceding year, so that without one-offs the deficit would be below the reference value. This is broadly in line with the official deficit estimate of 1,9 % of GDP set in the April 2007 notification. For 2008, the spring forecast projects, on a no-policy-change basis, a further decline in the deficit to 1,6 % of GDP without recourse to one-offs. This indicates that the deficit has been brought below the 3 % of GDP ceiling in a credible and sustainable manner. The structural balance is projected to improve marginally in 2007 and, on the basis of a scenario without changes of policy, by an additional percentage point in 2008. This has to be seen against the need to make progress towards the medium-term objective for the budgetary position, which for Malta is a balanced budget position in structural terms,— Government debt declined from its peak of 73,9 % of GDP in 2004 to 66,5 % in 2006. According to the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, the debt ratio is projected to fall further to around 64,3 % by the end of 2008, thus coming closer to the 60 % of GDP reference value.(6) In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in Malta has been corrected and Decision 2005/186/EC should therefore be abrogated,. From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Malta has been corrected. Decision 2005/186/EC is hereby abrogated. This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Malta..

In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.(5) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters’ association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (3) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement (4).(6) As regards Switzerland, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (6).(7) As regards Liechtenstein, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (7) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2011/350/EU (8).(8) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol (No 22) on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Regulation builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark shall, in accordance with Article 4 of that Protocol, decide within a period of 6 months after the Council has decided on this Regulation whether it will implement it in its national law.(9) This Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (9); the United Kingdom is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.(10) This Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (10); Ireland is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.(11) As regards Cyprus, this Regulation constitutes an act building upon or otherwise related to the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 3(1) of the 2003 Act of Accession.(12) As regards Bulgaria and Romania, this Regulation constitutes an act building upon or otherwise related to the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the 2005 Act of Accession,.

For the 1999/2000 marketing year, notwithstanding Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92:- the set-aside requirement referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article shall be set at 10 %,- the increase referred to in the second indent of paragraph 7 of that Article shall be set at 1 percentage point.

Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period up to four years in the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to the Directive.(3) The assessment of the dossiers submitted in respect of the new uses of the enzyme and micro-organism preparations described in Annexes I and II shows that they satisfy the abovementioned conditions and may therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a four-year period.(4) New data were submitted to extend the authorisation of an enzyme preparation provisionally listed under No 11 to a new physical form. The assessment of the dossier submitted shows that the new physical form may be provisionally authorised.(5) On 1 October 2000, the authorisation of the micro-organism preparation No 1 Bacillus cereus var. toyoi (NCIMB 40 112) was provisionally renewed for a limited period, in order to provide sufficient time for the safety reassessment of the strain with regard to production of toxins, as requested in the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition (SCAN) on the safety of use of bacillus species in animal nutrition adopted on 17 February 2000.(6) According to the SCAN opinion on Bacillus cereus var. toyoi (NCIMB 40 112) adopted on 21 March 2001, the assessment of the dossiers submitted shows that the product may be considered safe as regard toxin production. The provisional authorisation of the product may therefore be resumed.(7) Article 2(aaa) of Directive 70/524/EEC requires authorisations for coccidiostats to be linked to the person responsible for putting them into circulation.(8) Article 9b of Directive 70/524/EEC provides that the authorisations of such substances shall be given for a period of 10 years from the date on which final authorisation takes effect, if all conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC are met.(9) The assessment of the dossier submitted shows that the coccidiostat described in Annex IV satisfies all the requirements of Article 3a, when used in the animal category and under the conditions described in the said Annex.(10) The assessment of the dossier shows that certain procedures may be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives. Such protection should however be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(3).(11) The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety of the enzyme and micro-organism preparations and of the coccidiostat, and with regard to the favourable effect on animal production of the latter, under the conditions described in the said Annex.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,. The preparations belonging to the group ""Enzymes"" listed in Annex I to the present Regulation are authorised for use as additives in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in the Annex. The preparations belonging to the group ""Micro-organism"" listed in Annex II to the present Regulation are authorised for use as additives in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in the Annex. The provisional authorisations of the preparation belonging to the group ""Micro-organisms"" listed in Annex III are resumed under the conditions laid down in the Annex. The additive belonging to the ""Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances"" listed in Annex IV to the present Regulation is authorised for use as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

22966,"2002/748/EC: Commission Decision of 10 September 2002 amending Decision 98/676/EC as regards fluazolat (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2002) 3324). ,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), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/37/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the United Kingdom received on 29 September 1997 an application from Twinagro Ltd. for the inclusion of the active substance fluazolat in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(2) Commission Decision 98/676/EC(3) confirmed that, on preliminary examination, the dossier was complete in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) Member States were thereby given the possibility to grant provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing fluazolat, in accordance with Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC. No Member State has used this possibility.(4) The United Kingdom, as rapporteur Member State, has indicated to the Commission that a detailed examination of the dossier revealed that several additional items of data were still required under Annexes II and III of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in relation to the environmental fate of the active substance and its degradation products. Accordingly, the dossier can no longer be considered to be complete.(5) The applicant has informed the United Kingdom and the Commission of its intention not to support the ongoing evaluation any further and not to submit further data on the active substance or its degradation products. As a result, it is clear that the dossier will not be completed and that it will thus be impossible for the United Kingdom to draft an assessment report concerning fluazolat and distribute it to the Commission and other Member States. The possibility of granting provisional authorisation for fluazolat should therefore be withdrawn.(6) No period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing fluazolat is necessary as no Member State has granted a provisional authorisation for this active substance.(7) Decision 98/676/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. In Article 1 of Decision 98/676/EC, point 4 is deleted. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

41315,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 572/2012 of 28 June 2012 making imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People's Republic of China subject to registration. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to the judgment of the European Court of Justice (‧ECJ‧) of 22 March 2012 in Case C-338/10,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 10(4) and 14(5) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:The European Commission (‧the Commission‧) has received a request, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, to make imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China subject to registration.A.   PRODUCT CONCERNED(1) The product concerned by this registration is prepared or preserved mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, and as defined under CN heading 2008, currently falling within CN codes 2008 30 55, 2008 30 75 and ex 2008 30 90 (TARIC codes 2008309061, 2008309063, 2008309065, 2008309067, 2008309069) originating in the People's Republic of China.B.   THE COURT JUDGEMENT(2) On 22 March 2012, in Case C-338/10, the European Court of Justice (‧ECJ‧) declared Council Regulation (EC) No 1355/2008 of 18 December 2008 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty on imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People's Republic of China (2) (‧definitive anti-dumping Regulation‧ or ‧the contested Regulation‧) invalid.(3) The ECJ judgment was based on the ground that the Commission had not taken all due care to determine the normal value on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country as prescribed by Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.(4) As a consequence of that judgment, imports into the European Union of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) are no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1355/2008.(5) Following the ECJ judgment, the Commission has thus decided to reopen the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People's Republic of China initiated pursuant to the basic Regulation. The reopening is limited in scope to the implementation of the finding of the ECJ as recalled above. (3)C.   REQUEST(6) Following the ECJ judgement, the Spanish National Federation of Associations of Processed Fruit and Vegetables (‧FENAVAL‧, previously named ‧FNACV‧) (‧the applicant‧) requested that imports of the product concerned are made subject to registration pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.D.   GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION(7) The applicant submitted that the declaration of invalidity by the ECJ of the anti-dumping measures concerned more than one and a half year before their envisaged expiry, for reasons other than the absence of dumping and subsequent injury, heavily jeopardizes its viability. In this respect it pointed in particular at the immediate risk of significant stockpiling of imports concerned, as had already been seen in the past. It therefore requested the registration of such imports.(8) According to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission may, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Union industry which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.(9) The request contains sufficient evidence to justify registration. It should be recalled that the the product is seasonal and fungible, that it is normally canned and that it can easily be stored for extended periods and easily transported. All this makes it possible to rapidly build-up inventories.(10) In Commission Regulation (EC) No 642/2008, which imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of the product concerned, it was already described that, prior to the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures, imports of the product concerned had also increased very sharply within a relatively short period (4). The applicant's fear that a surge of imports is to reoccur now that the measures have been found to be invalid is therefore considered justified. It is corroborated by statistical data from Member States which already reported a very sharp increase in imports in March 2012, to levels twice as high as in March 2011 and 3-4 times higher than in any other preceding month in 2011 and 2012.(11) The ECJ judgement is limited to the determination of the normal value on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country. Therefore, the existence of injury is not challenged. In its request, the applicant also pointed at the immediate risk of severe injury to the EU industry as importers would still be able to switch from EU products to Chinese products, leaving EU industry with massive stocks in their warehouses.(12) In view of the above it is considered that the remedial effect of any definitive anti-dumping duties is likely to be seriously undermined, unless such duties would be applied retroactively. Accordingly, the conditions for registration in this case are met.E.   PROCEDURE(13) In view of the above, the Commission has concluded that the applicant's request contains sufficient evidence to make imports of the product concerned subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(14) All interested parties are 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.F.   REGISTRATION(15) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the reopened investigation result in findings leading to the re-imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Any future liability would emanate from the findings of the reopened anti-dumping investigation.G.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(16) Any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5),. 1.   The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the European Union of prepared or preserved mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids, not containing added spirit, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter, and as defined under CN heading 2008, currently falling within CN codes 2008 30 55, 2008 30 75 and ex 2008 30 90 (TARIC codes 2008309061, 2008309063, 2008309065, 2008309067, 2008309069) originating in the People's Republic of China. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.2.   All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing, to provide supporting evidence or to request to be heard within 20 days from the date of publication of this Regulation.

4259,"2006/886/EC: Commission Decision of 6 December 2006 terminating the anti-absorption reinvestigation concerning imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts 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 (the ‘basic Regulation’) (1) and in particular Articles 9 and 12 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   PROCEDURE1.   Original measures(1) In July 2005, the Council imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 (2) a definitive anti-dumping duty (‘the original measures’) on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’). Individual anti-dumping duty rates ranging from 7,6 % to 39,9 % were imposed on co-operating exporting producers in the PRC. The rate applicable to imports from all other companies is 46,7 %.2.   Request for an anti-absorption reinvestigation(2) On 15 February 2006, a request for a reinvestigation of the original measures was lodged pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation. This request was submitted by four major Community producers of hand pallet trucks and essential parts thereof (BT Products AB, Franz Kahl GmbH, Bolzoni Auramo SpA and Pramac Lifter S.p.A) representing a major proportion, in this case more than 70 %, of the total Community production (‘the applicants’).(3) The applicants submitted sufficient prima facie information showing that the anti-dumping duty imposed on hand pallet trucks and essential parts thereof originating in the PRC has not led to any movement or sufficient movement in resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Community, suggesting an increase in dumping and thus impeding the intended remedial effects of the anti-dumping measures in force.3.   The anti-absorption reinvestigation(4) On 31 March 2006, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3), the initiation of a reinvestigation of the original measures pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation.(5) The Commission officially advised the exporters/producers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, importers and users of the initiation of this reinvestigation. 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. The Commission sent questionnaires to all parties known to be concerned.(6) Two sufficiently complete questionnaire replies were received from Chinese exporting producers, i.e. from Ningbo Ruyi Joint Stock Co. Ltd. and from Zhejiang Noblelift Equipment Joint Stock Co. Ltd., both of which also co-operated in the original investigation. One other exporting producer, Yale Industrial Products Co. Ltd., only provided substantially incomplete information and was therefore, after having been duly informed, considered to be non co-operating in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation. Two other exporting producers which co-operated in the original investigation did not provide any information in the present absorption reinvestigation, i.e. Ningbo Liftstar Material Transport Equipment Factory and Ningbo Tailong Machinery Co. Ltd.(7) Furthermore, nine importers of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts made themselves known, of which five sufficiently co-operated in the present reinvestigation.(8) The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for the purpose of this reinvestigation. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following exporting producers in the PRC:— Ningbo Ruyi Joint Stock Co. Ltd, Hangzhou and Ninghai, PRC;— Zhejiang Noblelift Equipment Joint Stock Co. Ltd., Changxing, PRC.(9) The investigation period of this reinvestigation (‘reinvestigation IP’) ran from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006. The reinvestigation IP was used to determine the current level of export prices and the level of the prices delivered to the final customers in the Community. In establishing whether the export prices and the resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Community had moved sufficiently, the price levels charged during the reinvestigation IP were compared to those charged during the original investigation period (‘original IP’) which had covered the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004.B.   PRODUCT CONCERNED(10) The product concerned by the present reinvestigation is the same as in the original investigation, i.e. hand pallet trucks, not self propelled, used for the handling of materials normally placed on pallets, and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, originating in the PRC (‘the product concerned’), normally classified within CN codes ex 8427 90 00 and ex 8431 20 00.C.   FINDINGS(11) The purpose of this reinvestigation was to establish whether or not since the imposition of the original measures (i) export prices had decreased or (ii) there had been no or insufficient movement in resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Community of the product concerned.(12) In accordance with Article 12 of the basic Regulation, importers/users and exporters/producers were provided with an opportunity to submit evidence to justify a decrease in export prices and/or lack of movement in resale prices and subsequent selling prices in the Community, if any, following the imposition of the original measures for reasons other than absorption of the anti-dumping duty.1.   Decrease in export prices(13) In the reinvestigation IP sales of the product concerned were made both via related parties in the Community and in the PRC and directly to independent importers and/or distributors in the Community. Movements in export prices were assessed by comparing, per product type and for the same delivery conditions, the weighted average price observed in the reinvestigation IP with that determined during the original IP.(14) The comparison of prices of the two co-operating exporting producers in the reinvestigation IP with those in the original IP showed no decrease in the average export price of the product concerned.2.   Movement of resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Community(15) The movement of resale prices in the Community at the level of importers and/or distributors was assessed by comparing, for similar product types, the average resale prices for the same delivery conditions, including the conventional duty plus the anti-dumping duty, of the original IP with those determined in the reinvestigation IP. In this respect, five importers, accounting for a significant amount of imports of the product concerned into the Community during the reinvestigation IP, co-operated and provided data.(16) The comparison of their resale prices for these product types showed that prices had increased by amounts exceeding the anti-dumping duty. In this context, it is further noted that it was therefore not necessary to investigate in greater detail any decrease in profit margins of the co-operating importers during the reinvestigation IP compared to the original IP, which in any event remained substantial during the reinvestigation IP.(17) Representative data with regard to subsequent selling prices were not available. However, given that resale prices of importers to unrelated customers were found to have shown sufficient movement since the imposition of anti-dumping measures, it was not unreasonable to conclude that the subsequent selling prices of these customers would also have shown sufficient movement.3.   Non co-operating companies(18) Since the two co-operating exporting producers in the present reinvestigation exported in volume over 85 % of the product concerned to the Community during the reinvestigation IP, thus constituting high co-operation, their findings were considered to be representative for the exporting country as a whole. Therefore, no recourse to facts available in the meaning of Article 18 of the basic Regulation concerning non co-operating exporting producers was made.4.   Conclusion(19) It was concluded as the result of the present reinvestigation that absorption in the meaning of Article 12(2) of the basic Regulation of the measures in place could not be established for the co-operating exporting producers, since neither a decrease in export prices nor an insufficient movement in resale prices or subsequent selling prices for the product concerned was found.(20) The duty for the non-cooperating exporting producers should be left unchanged as well for the reasons set out in recital (18) above.(21) Consequently, the present absorption reinvestigation should be terminated.(22) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations upon which it was intended to terminate this reinvestigation, and were given the opportunity to comment. No substantive comments where received,. The reinvestigation pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby terminated..

44061,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 494/2014 of 13 May 2014 amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 as regards import conditions and the list of countries referred to in Article 9 thereof  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 97/78/EC lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Union from third countries.(2) Article 19(1) of that Directive provides that the Commission is to draw up a list of plant products which are to be subjected to border veterinary checks and a list of the third countries which may be authorised to export those plant products to the Union.(3) Accordingly, Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 (2) lists hay and straw as plant products subject to border veterinary checks, while Part I of Annex V to that Regulation lists the countries from which Member States are authorised to import hay and straw.(4) Ukraine has recently requested the authorisation to export pelleted straw to the Union and has asked to be included in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004.(5) Belarus is already listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 and is authorised to export hay and straw of any kind to the Union. However, some Member States have outlined concerns in relation to the changed animal health situation in Belarus, referring to outbreaks of African swine fever. They fear that the export of unprocessed hay and straw from that third country may pose a high animal health risk to the Union. It has thus been requested to adopt precautionary measures through the adoption of more restrictive import conditions for hay and straw from Belarus.(6) Analysis shows that the animal health situation in Belarus and Ukraine does not present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases into the Union, if only pelleted straw intended for combustion is allowed for import, provided it is directly delivered from the approved border inspection post (BIP) of entry into the Union to the destination plant where it is going to be burned. To ensure that such consignments do not present a risk to animal health being deviated from their intended destination, they need to be moved under customs transit procedure, as provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (3), and be monitored in the integrated computerised veterinary system (TRACES) accordingly from the BIP of entry to the destination plant.(7) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

39850,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 436/2011 of 5 May 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 2(1)(h) thereof,Having regard to the requests submitted by the Czech Republic, Greece, France and Italy,Whereas:(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (2), certain Member States or certain areas in Member States were recognised as protected zones in respect of certain harmful organisms. In some cases recognition was granted for a limited period of time to allow the Member State concerned to provide the full information necessary to show that the harmful organisms in question did not occur in the Member State or area concerned or to complete the efforts to eradicate the organism in question.(2) The entire territory of Greece was recognised as a protected zone with respect to Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, Gilpinia hercyniae (Hartig), Gonipterus scutellatus Gyll., Ips amitinus Eichhof, Ips cembrae Heer and Ips duplicatus Sahlberg until 31 March 2011.(3) In 2010 Greece conducted surveys and notified results to the Commission in accordance with the third and fifth subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) of Directive 2000/29/EC. A visit of Commission experts in Greece from 24 to 31 January 2011 confirmed that that Member State continued to make significant progress with regard to organising and conducting those surveys and with regard to notifying the results thereof. It is, nevertheless, necessary that Greece proves that the progress made is sustainable.(4) According to the results of the surveys carried out in Greece in 2010, there was only one finding of Ips cembrae Heer, there were no findings of the other five organisms concerned. Taking into account those results and the outcome of the visit of the Commission experts in Greece, it is appropriate to continue to recognise Greece as a protected zone with respect to those organisms for three more years, in order to give Greece the time necessary to collect and submit information confirming that those organisms, with the exception of Ips cembrae Heer, do not occur in its territory and, as regards Ips cembrae Heer, to complete the efforts to eradicate it and collect and submit the information confirming that that organism no more occurs in its territory.(5) The entire territory of Greece was recognised as a protected zone with respect to citrus tristeza virus (European strains). In its annual report for 2010 on the official survey carried out for the presence of that harmful organism, Greece reported 104 trees tested positive for that harmful organism in the Prefecture of Argolida. Observations made by the Commission experts during their visit in Greece from 24 to 31 January 2011 confirmed that citrus tristeza virus (European strains) was present in that prefecture at least for the last three years in spite of the eradication measures taken by the Greek authorities which have proved to be ineffective. Consequently, citrus tristeza virus (European strains) has to be considered as established in the Prefecture of Argolida. That prefecture should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism.(6) The entire territory of Spain was recognised as a protected zone with respect to Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. Spain has submitted information showing that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. The measures taken for a period of two successive years, 2009 and 2010, with a view to the eradication of that harmful organism have proved to be ineffective. Castilla y León should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism.(7) The entire territory of the Czech Republic, certain regions of France (Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine) and one region in Italy (Basilicata) were recognised as protected zones with respect to grapevine flavescence dorée MLO until 31 March 2011. Information supplied by the Czech Republic, France and Italy since that recognition was granted, has provided evidence that that harmful organism does not occur in the protected zones concerned. Therefore the entire territory of the Czech Republic, the regions of Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine in France and the region of Basilicata in Italy should continue to be recognised as protected zones with respect to that organism.(8) Italy has requested that the region of Sardinia be recognised as a protected zone in respect of the harmful organism grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. On the basis of surveys conducted in 2004-2010, Italy has submitted evidence that the harmful organism concerned does not occur in the region of Sardinia despite favourable conditions for that organism to establish itself there. It is, however, necessary that further surveys be carried out. Those surveys should be monitored by experts under the authority of the Commission. Therefore Sardinia should be recognised as a protected zone in respect of grapevine flavescence dorée MLO for a period of three years only.(9) Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The current recognition of some of these protected zones expires on 31 March 2011. Therefore, this Regulation should apply from 1 April 2011 so as to allow an uninterrupted recognition of all protected zones.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 is amended as follows:(1) in the second column of points 4, 5 and 7 to 10 of heading (a), after the word ‘Greece’ the words ‘(until 31 March 2011)’ are replaced by ‘(until 31 March 2014)’;(2) in the second column of point 2 of heading (b), after the word ‘Spain’ the words ‘(except the autonomous community of Castilla y León),’ are added;(3) heading (d) is amended as follows:(a) in the second column of point 3, after the word ‘Greece’ the words ‘(except the Prefecture of Argolida),’ are added;(b) point 4 is replaced by the following:‘4.

Under Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1084/2006 the Council may decide, on a proposal from the Commission, to suspend either the totality or part of the commitments from the Cohesion Fund for a beneficiary Member State if: (i) the Council has decided in accordance with Article 126(6) TFEU (3) that excessive government deficit exists in the Member State concerned; and (ii) the Council has established in accordance with Article 126(8) TFEU (4) that the Member State concerned has not taken effective action in response to a Council recommendation under Article 126(7) TFEU (5) to correct the excessive government deficit by the established deadline. Such suspension of commitments should be effective from 1 January of the year following the decision to suspend.(8) On 5 July 2004, by Decision 2004/918/EC (6) the Council decided in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (TEC) that an excessive deficit existed in Hungary. The Council adopted a first recommendation on 5 July 2004, a second recommendation on 8 March 2005 and a third recommendation on 10 October 2006 addressed to Hungary in accordance with Article 104(7) TEC. On 7 July 2009 the Council adopted its fourth recommendation to Hungary in accordance with Article 104(7) TEC (‘Council Recommendation of 7 July 2009’) with a view to bringing an end to the situation of an excessive government deficit by 2011 at the latest. Specifically, Hungary was recommended: (i) to limit the deterioration of the fiscal position in 2009 by ensuring a rigorous implementation of the adopted and announced corrective measures to respect the target of 3,9 % of GDP; (ii) starting from 2010, to implement rigorously the necessary consolidation measures to ensure a continued reduction of the structural deficit and a renewed decline of the headline deficit, with an increased reliance on structural measures, in order to guarantee a lasting improvement of public finances; (iii) to spell out and adopt in a timely manner the consolidation measures necessary to achieve the correction of the excessive deficit by 2011; (iv) to ensure a cumulative 0,5 % of GDP fiscal effort over 2010 and 2011; and (v) to ensure that the government gross debt ratio was brought onto a firm downward trajectory.(9) On 24 January 2012 the Council adopted Decision 2012/139/EU (7) in accordance with Article 126(8) TFEU establishing that Hungary had not taken effective action in response to the Council Recommendation of 7 July 2009. The Decision noted that while Hungary formally respected the 3 % of GDP reference value by 2011, this was not based on a structural and sustainable correction. The budget surplus in 2011 hinged upon substantial one-off revenues of over 10 % of GDP and was accompanied by a cumulative structural deterioration in 2010 and 2011 of 2,75 % of GDP compared to a recommended cumulative fiscal improvement of 0,5 % of GDP. Moreover, while the authorities intend to implement substantial structural measures in 2012 reducing the structural deficit to 2,6 % of GDP, the 3 % of GDP reference value would again be respected only thanks to one-off measures of close to 1 % of GDP. Finally, in 2013, the deficit (at 3,25 % of GDP) was expected to exceed the reference value in the TFEU once more even after taking into account additional measures announced since the Commission services’ 2011 autumn forecast. The higher deficit in 2013 would mainly be linked to the fact that temporary one-off revenues were being phased out as planned, while not all planned structural reforms had been sufficiently specified. Overall, the Council concluded that the response by the Hungarian authorities to the Council Recommendation of 7 July 2009 pursuant to Article 126(7) TFEU had been insufficient.(10) Therefore, in the case of Hungary, the two conditions set out in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1084/2006 have been fulfilled. The Council, on a proposal of the Commission, may thus suspend either the totality or part of the commitments from the Cohesion Fund with effect from 1 January 2013. The decision on the amount of commitments to be suspended should ensure that the suspension is both effective and proportionate, whilst taking into account the current overall economic situation in the European Union and the relative importance of the Cohesion Fund for the economy of the Member State concerned. Accordingly, it is appropriate, in case of a first application of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1084/2006 to a given Member State, to set the amount at 50 % of the allocation of cohesion funds for 2013, without exceeding a maximum level of 0,5 % of the nominal GDP of the Member State concerned as forecast by the Commission services.(11) Since the suspension concerns only commitments, the implementation of transport and environment projects or commitments already made at the time of suspension will not be compromised if the necessary corrective actions are promptly implemented. By suspending commitments taking effect as of the following year, the ongoing project implementation will not be affected for an extended period, giving the authorities the necessary time to adopt measures that would restore macroeconomic and fiscal conditions conductive to sustainable growth and employment.(12) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1084/2006, if by 22 June 2012, or at a later date, the Council establishes that Hungary has taken the necessary corrective action, it will decide, without delay, to lift the suspension of the commitments concerned,. The amount of EUR 495 184 000 (in current prices) of commitments from the Cohesion Fund for Hungary shall be suspended with effect from 1 January 2013. This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification. This Decision is addressed to Hungary.. Done at Brussels, 13 March 2012.For the CouncilThe PresidentM.

18492,"1999/82/EC: Council Decision of 18 January 1999 authorising the Portuguese Republic to apply a measure derogating from Articles 21(1)(a) and 22 of the Sixth Directive (77/388/EEC) on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - common system of value-added tax: uniform basis for assessment (1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, pursuant to Article 27(1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion and avoidance;Whereas, by letter registered with the Commission on 17 March 1998, the Portuguese Republic requested authorisation to introduce a measure derogating from Articles 21(1)(a) and 22 of Directive 77/388/EEC;Whereas, in accordance with Article 27(3) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the other Member States were informed on 19 May 1998 of the request submitted by the Portuguese Republic;Whereas that special measure is designed to allow certain firms engaged in doorstep selling to request the tax administration for authorisation to pay VAT on the products sold in place of their resellers, provided that their total turnover is derived from doorstep sales by resellers acting in their own name and on their own account and all the products sold by the firm are included in a list on which the selling price to the final consumer is mentioned;Whereas the derogation is restricted to cases in which firms sell products direct to resellers and those resellers sell them directly to final consumers;Whereas firms which satisfy these conditions and have been authorised to do so by the tax administration would pay VAT to the public revenue department on the basis of a retail price fixed in advance;Whereas the resellers concerned would therefore no longer required to pay VAT on their sales and would accordingly not be entitled to deduct input tax;Whereas this measure constitutes a derogation from Article 21(1)(a) in that the wholesaler is deemed to be the person liable for tax payable on goods supplied by resellers to final consumers;Whereas the obligations in connection with such sales (e.g. declaration, invoicing, payment, etc.) fall upon the wholesaler, who will, therefore, by way of derogation from Article 22 of Directive 77/388/EEC, be exempt from fulfilling such obligations in respect of his supplies to the reseller;Whereas this sector is characterised by the existence of a very large number of small resellers who do not have the resources or organisational capacity to fulfil their VAT obligations; whereas this measure, therefore, both simplifies matters and helps to combat tax fraud;Whereas, consequently, the special measure satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 27 of Directive 77/388/EEC;Whereas the Commission adopted on 10 July 1996 a work programme, together with a timetable for the phased introduction of a common system of VAT for the single market;Whereas it would, therefore, be appropriate to grant authorisation until 31 December 2000 so that an assessment can then be made of the compatibility of the measure with the overall approach adopted for the new common system of VAT;Whereas this derogation will have no impact on the European Communities' own resources accruing from VAT,. The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorised from 1 January 1999 until 31 December 2000 to apply a special measure for the taxation of doorstep sales that contains provisions derogating from Council Directive 77/388/EEC.Firms whose total turnover is derived from doorstep sales carried out by resellers acting in their own name and for their own account may request the administration for authorisation to apply the provisions of Articles 2 and 3 below on condition that:- all products sold by the firm are contained in a pre-established price list applicable at the final consumption stage,- the firm sells its products direct to resellers who, in turn, sell direct to final consumers. By way of derogation from Article 21(1)(a) of the Sixth Directive, firms which have been authorised to apply this special measure shall be liable for the tax payable on goods supplied by their resellers to final consumers. Firms which have been authorised to apply this special measure shall be exempt from the obligations laid down in Article 22 of Directive 77/388/EEC as regards supplies of their products to resellers.

3088,"2002/419/EC: Commission Decision of 30 October 2000 approving the single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 1 in the region of Réunion, France (notified under document number C(2000) 2578). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty, the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and the Committee on Structures for Fisheries and Aquaculture,Whereas:(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.(4) The French Government submitted to the Commission on 17 December 1999 an acceptable draft single programming document for Réunion fulfilling the conditions for Objective 1 pursuant to Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guidance Section, and the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures, by Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(2).(7) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.(12) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,. The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 1 in the region of Réunion, France for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved. 1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex-ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of France.The priorities are as follows:1. supporting economic development which generates permanent jobs;2. implementing a pro-active spatial planning policy;3. far-sighted and sustainable management of natural resources and wealth;4. developing infrastructure for training and education;5. opening up Réunion to the outside world;6. placement and combating exclusion;7. life-long training and learning8. support and engineering;9. planning and rural development;10. structures of agricultural holdings and production;(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;(e) the ex-ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 2878203667 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 1516003000.The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 949003667 from the public sector and EUR 413197000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments. 1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 1516003000, after deduction of EUR 750000 for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission.The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.2.>TABLE>3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 60 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1. This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) to certain categories of horizontal State aid(3). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.Notwithstanding the above subparagraphs, assistance for rural development part-financed by the EAGGF will be governed by Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999. The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 17 December 1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. This Decision is addressed to the French Republic..

33773,"Commission Directive 2007/25/EC of 23 April 2007 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include dimethoate, dimethomorph, glufosinate, metribuzin, phosmet and propamocarb as active substances (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 Article 6(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and 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 dimethoate, dimethomorph, glufosinate, metribuzin, phosmet and propamocarb.(2) For those active substances 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 703/2001 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 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For dimethoate, the rapporteur Member State was the United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 4 August 2004. For dimethomorph and metribuzin, the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 11 June 2004 and 23 august 2004 respectively. For glufosinate, the rapporteur Member State was Sweden and all relevant information was submitted on 3 January 2003. For phosmet, the rapporteur Member State was Spain and all relevant information was submitted on 23 August 2004. For propamocarb, the rapporteur Member State was Ireland and all relevant information was submitted on 5 October 2004.(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 14 March 2005 for glufosinate, on 12 May 2006 for phosmet and propamocarb, on 23 June 2006 for dimethoate and dimethomorph, and on 28 July 2006 for metribuzin, in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 24 November 2006 in the format of the Commission review reports for dimethoate, dimethomorph, glufosinate, metribuzin, phosmet and propamocarb.(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing dimethoate, dimethomorph, glufosinate, metribuzin, phosmet and propamocarb may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points concerning dimethoate, glufosinate, metribuzin and phosmet. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore it is appropriate to require that dimethoate, glufosinate, metribuzin and phosmet should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the risk assessment for some issues and that such studies should be presented by the notifiers.(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing dimethoate, dimethomorph, glufosinate, metribuzin, phosmet and propamocarb to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(10) 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 I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 March 2008 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

GENERAL1.1. All vehicles must receive a plate and markings as described below. That plate and  those markings must be affixed by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.2. MANUFACTURER'S DATA PLATE2.1. A manufacturer's data plate, a model of which is shown in  Appendix 1 must be firmly attached, at an easily accessible point, to a part which is normally not  likely to be replaced during use; it must be easily legible and contain the following information  in an indelible form, in the following order:2.1.1. name of manufacturer;2.1.2. type-approval mark as described in Article 8 of Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992  on the type-approval of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles;2.1.3. the vehicle identification number (VIN);2.1.4. the static sound level: . . . dB(A) at . . . rev/min.2.2. The type-approval mark as required by section 2.1.2., the static sound level value and the  number of rev/minute as required by section 2.1.4. are not included in the component type-approval  of statutory markings. However, those pieces of information must be attached to all vehicles  manufactured in conformity with the type that has been approved.2.3. Manufacturers may affix additional information below or to one side of the mandatory markings,  outside a clearly marked rectangle which contains only the information required by sections 2.1.1.  to 2.1.4. (see Appendix 1).3. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERThe vehicle identification number consists of a structured  combination of characters assigned to each vehicle by their manufacturer. Its purpose is to enable  any vehicle to be identified unambiguously via its manufacturer - without any need for any other  information - for a period of 30 years. The identification must meet the following requirements:3.1. the vehicle identification number must be entered on the manufacturer's data plate. It must  also be hammered or punched in such a way as to avoid obliteration or change on the chassis or  frame at a point such that it can easily be accessible, and it must be situated on the right half  of the vehicle;3.1.1. the vehicle identification number must be in three parts as indicated hereafter:3.1.1.1. the first part consists of a code assigned to the vehicle manufacturer enabling that  person to be identified. The code shall consist of three characters (letters or digits) issued by  the competent authorities in the country in which the manufacturer has his registered address in  line with the practice of the international agency acting on the authorization of the International  Organization for Standardization (ISO). The first character designates a geographical area, the  second a country within a geographical area and the third character a particular manufacturer.  Where the manufacturer produces less than 500 vehicles per year the third character is always a 9.  In order to identify that manufacturer the authority referred to above shall also issue the third,  fourth and fifth characters of the third part;3.1.1.2. the second part consists of six characters (letters or digits) for the purpose of  describing the general characteristics of the vehicle (type, variant and version); each  characteristic may be represented by two characters. If its manufacturer does not use one or more  of those characters the unused spaces must be filled by alphabetical or numerical characters, the  choice being left to the manufacturer;3.1.1.3. the third part consists of eight characters, the last four of which are required to be  numerical and, in combination with the two other parts, must enable a particular vehicle to be  clearly identified. Any unused position must be filled by a 0 in order to obtain the requisite  total number of characters;3.1.2. the vehicle identification number must, wherever possible, occupy a single line. By way of  an exception and for technical reasons it may also occupy two lines. However, in this case there  must be no breaks within any of the three parts;the beginning and end of each line must be marked by a symbol which is neither an Arabic numeral  nor a capital Latin letter, nor must it be possible to confuse this with any such character. An  exemption may be granted if the number is entered on a single line on the manufacturer's data  plate. The introduction of said symbol within a line between the three parts (section 3.1.1) is  also authorized;There must be no spaces between the characters.4. CHARACTERS4.1. Latin letters and Arabic numerals must be used for all of the markings provided  for in sections 2 and 3. However, the Latin letters used for the information provided for in  sections 2.1.1, 2.1.3 and 3 must be capital letters.4.2. In the vehicle identification number:4.2.1. letters I, O and Q, or dashes, asterisks or other specific signs are prohibited;4.2.2. letters and figures shall have the following minimum heights:4.2.2.1. 4 mm in the case of characters entered directly on the chassis or frame or any other  similar vehicle structure;4.2.2.2. 3 mm in the case of characters entered on the manufacturer's data plate.Appendix 1Example of manufacturer's data plateThe example below in no way affects the  information actually set out on manufacturer's data plates, nor the dimensions of the plate itself,  the figures or letters. It is given solely by way of an example.The additional information referred to in section 2.3 may be entered below or on one side of the  information required in the following rectangle.>START OF GRAPHIC><?aeUA16à><?aeTSà><?aeVCà><?aeRT2Y3à><?aeTF10à><?aeTBà><?aeTCà>STELLA FABBRICA  MOTOCICLI <?aeFN10à>e3 5364 <?aeFN10à>3 G S K L M 3 A C 8 B 1 2 0 0 0 0 <?aeFN10à>80 dB  (A) - 3 750 t/m<?aeFN10à><?aeTBà><?aeRT2Y3à><?aeTEà><?aeUA17à""END OF GRAPHIC>Legend:In the above example of a plate the vehicle concerned has been made by 'Stella Fabbrica Motocicli'  and type-approved in Italy (e3), under number 5364.The identification number (3GSKLM3AC8B120000) gives the following information:- first part (3GS):- 3: geographical area (Europe);- G: country within the geographical area (Germany);- S: manufacturer (Stella Fabbrica Motocicli);- second part (KLM3AC):- KL: type of vehicle;- M3: variant (vehicle bodywork);- AC: version (vehicle engine);- third part (8B120000):- 8B12: identification of the vehicle and combination of the two other parts of the identification  number;- 0000: unused positions that have been filled by a 0 in order to make up the total number of  characters required.The static sound level is 80 dB(A) at 3 750 rev/min.Appendix 2Information document in respect of statutory markings for a type of two or three-wheel  motor vehicle(to be attached to the application for component type-approval where this is  submitted separately from the application for vehicle type-approval)Order No (assigned by the  applicant): .The application for component type-approval in respect of statutory markings for a type of two or  three-wheel motor vehicle shall contain the information set out in Annex II to Directive 92/61/EEC;  Part A, sections:- 0.1- 0.2- 0.4 to 0.6- 9.3.1 to 9.3.3.Appendix 3Name of administrationComponent type-approval certificate in respect of statutory  markings for a type of two- or three-wheel motor vehiclesMODELReport No . by technical service .  date .Component type-approval No: .

43521,"2014/679/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 25 September 2014 amending Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU as regards its period of application and as regards the movement to packing facilities of potato tubers originating in areas demarcated in order to prevent the spread within the Union of Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) (notified under document C(2014) 6731). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU (2) provides for emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner).(2) The development of the situation since Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU took effect has shown that the measures it provides for are efficacious and should continue to apply. Therefore, it is appropriate that that Implementing Decision applies without a limitation of time.(3) Experience shows that it is necessary to grant greater flexibility as regards the facility where the potato tubers undergo treatment ensuring that no more than 0,1 % of soil remains on them and that the specified organisms are removed. Therefore, it should be permitted that those tubers are moved outside the demarcated areas before that treatment takes place. The movement to those facilities should, however, be subject to requirements ensuring that the respective phytosanitary risk is reduced to acceptable levels.(4) In order to ensure that the specified organisms cannot establish or spread outside a demarcated area, requirements should be established concerning disposal of the relevant waste soil and other waste material. For the same purpose, requirements should also be established concerning vehicles and packaging for the transport or handling of those potato tubers before they move outside the demarcated area or from a packing facility located outside that area. It is also necessary that machinery used for the handling of potato tubers in the packing facilities located outside demarcated areas is cleaned to avoid infestation of other potatoes handled by the same machinery.(5) In order to facilitate control by Member States of the packing outside a demarcated area of potato tubers originating in such an area, it is important that packing facilities located outside demarcated areas are authorised for that purpose and required to keep records of the potato tubers handled which originate in demarcated areas.(6) Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU is amended as follows:(1) Article 3 is replaced by the following:(a) intensive monitoring for the presence of the specified organisms through appropriate inspections on potato plants and, where appropriate, other host plants, including fields where those plants are growing, within at least a radius of 100 m of the packing facility;(b) activities to raise public awareness concerning the threat of the specified organisms and the measures adopted to prevent its introduction into and spread within the Union in the vicinity of the packing facility.(a) before they are moved outside the demarcated area; and(b) before they leave a packing facility, as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3(1).(a) they are authorised by the responsible official body to pack potato tubers originating in a demarcated area; and(b) they keep, for one year from the time of arrival of the potato tubers at that facility, records of the potato tubers handled which originate in demarcated areas.’(2) Article 7 is deleted;(3) Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

As a consequence, Bulgaria has taken measures in the framework of Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease (3).(2) In addition, Commission Decision 2011/44/EU of 19 January 2011 concerning certain protection measures against foot-and-mouth disease in Bulgaria (4) was adopted, as it was necessary to reinforce the control measures taken by Bulgaria.

35432,"Commission Directive 2008/86/EC of 5 September 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include tebuconazole as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes tebuconazole.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, tebuconazole has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Denmark was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 11 January 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 29 November 2007, in an assessment report.(5) The review of tebuconazole did not reveal any open questions or concerns to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks.(6) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing tebuconazole may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include tebuconazole in Annex I for product type 8, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing tebuconazole can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC. However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood in continuous contact with water. Authorisation of these uses will require the submission of data demonstrating that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that instructions are provided to indicate that treated timber must be stored after treatment on impermeable hard standing to prevent direct losses to soil and allow losses to be collected for re-use or disposal, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(d) of Directive 98/8/EC.(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance tebuconazole and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing tebuconazole to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

The Member States shall devise, publish, and implement national programmes for limiting their anthropogenic emissions of CO2 in order to contribute to:- the stabilization of CO2 emissions by 2000 at 1990 levels in the Community as a whole, assuming that other leading countries undertake commitments along similar lines, and on the understanding that Member States which start from relatively low levels  of energy consumption and therefore low emissions measured on a per capita or other appropriate basis are entitled to have CO2 targets and/or strategies corresponding to their economic and social development, while improving the energy efficiency of  their economic activities, as agreed at the Council meetings of 29 October 1990 and 13 December 1991, and- the fulfilment of the commitment relating to the limitation of CO2 emissions in the UN Framework Convention on Climate change by the Community as a whole through action by the Community and its Member States, within their respective competences.These programmes shall be periodically updated.2. Each Member State shall, at the latest from the first updating, include in its national programme:- its 1990 base year anthropogenic emissions of CO2, determined in accordance with Article 3 (1),- inventories of its anthropogenic CO2 emissions by sources and removal by sinks; determined in accordance with Article 3 (1),- details of national policies and measures, which contribute to the limitation of CO2 emissions,- trajectories for its national CO2 emissions between 1994 and 2000,- measures being taken or enivsaged for the implementation of relevant Community legislation and policies,- a description of policies and measures in order to increase the sequestration of CO2 emissions,- an assessment of the economic impact of the above measures. Inventories and data reporting  1. Member States shall determine their anthropogenic CO2 emissions and removal by sinks in accordance with the best available methodology to be decided by the Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article  8. Such a methodology shall be either that being developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) or compatible with it.The methodology shall be revised by the Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 8 to take account, as necessary, of technical progress, in particular developments decided within the framework of the United Nations Framework  Convention on Climate Change.2. Member States shall each year, not later than 31 July, report to the Commission their anthropogenic CO2 emissions and CO2 removal by sinks for the previous calendar year.3. The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Member States, establish on the basis of the information provided by them inventories of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and removal by sinks in the Community and shall circulate them to all Member States  within three months of the receipt of the information from all Member States. Procedures and methods for evaluation  In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8, the Commission shall establish procedures and methods for the evaluation of national programmes as referred to in Article 6 and the frequency of updating  by the Member States. First evaluation of national programmes and of the state of emissions in the Community  1.

No other type of fruit may be found in the container.4. The colour of pears in syrup shall be characteristic for the variety Williams or Rocha. A slightly pink discoloration shall not be considered a defect. Pears in syrup containing special ingredients shall be considered to be of characteristic colour if there is no abnormal discoloration for the ingredients used.5. Pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice shall be free of foreign materials of non-vegetable origin and from foreign flavours and odours.The fruit shall be fleshy and may be variable in tenderness but shall be neither excessively soft nor excessively firm.6. Pears in syrup shall be practically free from:(a) foreign materials of vegetable origin;(b) peel;(c) blemished units.Whole fruits, halves and quarters shall also be practically free from mechanically damaged units. 1. Fruit, or pieces thereof, shall be considered practically uniform in size when, in a container, the weight of the largest unit is not more than twice the weight of the smallest unit.If there are less than 20 units in a container, one unit may be disregarded. When determining the largest and the smallest units, broken units shall not be taken into consideration.2. Pears in syrup and/or pears in natural fruit juice shall be considered as complying with Article 3 (6) when the following tolerances are not exceeded:1.2,3 //  //  //  // Style 1.2.3 //  // Whole, halves and quarters  // Other  //  //  //  // Blemished units   // 15 % by number   // 1,5 kilograms   // Mechanically damaged units  // 10 % by number   // Not applicable   // Peel   // 100 cm2 aggregate area   // 100 cm2 aggregate area   // Foreign material of vegetable origin:   //   //   // - Core material  // 10 units   // 10 units   // - Loose pear seeds   // 80 pieces   // 80 pieces   // - Other material, including loose core material   // 60 pieces   // 60 pieces   //    //   //The tolerances allowed, other than those fixed by reference to per cent by number, are per 10 kilograms drained net weight.Cores shall not be considered as a defect in whole styles with core.3. For the purposes of paragraph 2:(a) 'blemished units' means fruit with discoloration on the surface or spots which definitely contrast with the overall colour and which may penetrate into the flesh, in particular bruises, scab and dark discoloration;(b) 'mechanically damaged units' means units which have been severed into definite parts, and all of such portions that equal the size of a full-size unit are considered one unit or units where the trimming has been excessive and includes serious gouges on the surface of the units which substantially detract from the appearance;(c) 'peel' means both peel adhering to pear flesh and peel found loose in the container;(d) 'foreign material of vegetable origin' means vegetable materials which are irrelevant to the fruit itself or which have been attached to the fresh fruit but should have been removed during processing, in particular core material, pear seeds, stalks and leaves and pieces thereof. Peel shall, however, be excluded;(e) 'core material' means the seed cell or parts thereof attached to the fruit, with or without seeds. Pieces of core are considered as equivalent to one unit when, having been aggregated, the pieces total approximately one half of a core;(f) 'loose pear seeds' means seeds which are not included in core material but which are loose in the container. The pears and the syrup and/or natural fruit juice shall occupy at least 90 % of the water capacity of the container. 2.

20574,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 2814/2000 of 21 December 2000 laying down the detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the grant of carry-over aid for certain fishery products. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 23(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, which repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92(2) with effect from 1 January 2001, provides for the granting of carry-over aid under certain conditions for the stabilisation or processing and storage of the products set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 which have been withdrawn from the market. The role of the carry-over aid mechanism in the common market organisation as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 and in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3901/92 of 23 December 1992 introducing detailed rules for granting carry-over aid on certain fishery products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1337/95(4) has been re-evaluated. This resulted in an increase in the quantities eligible for this aid. It is therefore appropriate to simplify the procedures required under the carry-over aid mechanism and to replace Regulation (EEC) No 3901/92 by the present Regulation.(2) Article 6(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2406/96 of 26 November 1996 laying down common marketing standards for certain fishery products(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2578/2000(6), provides that certain products that are classified as category B are ineligible for the financial assistance granted in respect of the intervention mechanisms of the common market organisation. Given that only Extra, ""E"" and ""A"" quality products are eligible for carry-over aid set out in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the calculation of the quantities eligible for this aid should be based on these categories of products only.(3) In order to give maximum encouragement to action to stabilise the market, producer organisations not observing the Community withdrawal price throughout the fishing year should be excluded from receiving financial compensation for carry-over aid.(4) Systematic compliance with the common marketing standards referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 is a determining factor in price formation and contributes to stabilisation of the market. The granting of compensation for carry-over aid on eligible quantities should therefore be made conditional on compliance with the standards for all quantities of the product in question put up for sale by the producer organisation or its members throughout the fishing year.(5) The mechanisms for carry-over aid and financial compensation for withdrawals are parallel and complementary as regards their operation and share the same objective of stabilising the market in the products in question. The conditions relating to the quantities which may qualify for carry-over aid as well as to the use of a tolerance margin and to the certifying document to be used when the products are withdrawn in another Member State should be the same as those laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting financial compensation for withdrawal of certain fishery products(7).(6) To ensure product quality and to facilitate the disposal of products on the market, the minimum requirements to be satisfied by operations qualifying for aid should be laid down, together with the requirements relating to storage and return to the market of the product concerned.(7) The producer organisations should contribute to the costs related to the implementation of the carry-over aid mechanisms and therefore, the amount of aid should be fixed on the basis of the real technical costs and financial costs of stabilisation and storage operations. The technical costs should be defined on the basis of the immediate costs incurred under the mechanism. In order to avoid burdensome information requirements from the industry and complicated annual calculations the financial costs should be a flat-rate sum adjusted on the basis of the interest rate determined in accordance with Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1259/96(9).(8) The beneficiaries of aid should be obliged to keep stock records to increase the efficiency of checks and must communicate this information to the Member State. It is sufficient for the purposes of good management of the mechanism to require stock records during the minimum storage periods.(9) The procedure for submitting applications for the payment of carry-over aid should be laid down as well as the procedure for the granting of advance payments and the amount of the relevant security.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,. The quantities of products eligible for carry-over aid under Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be calculated on the basis of quantities that are classified under the marketing standards set out in Article 2 of that Regulation as being of Extra, ""E"" and ""A"" quality only. 1. Carry-over aid shall only be paid to producer organisations as referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.2. Payment of the carry-over aid for eligible quantities of products shall be subject to the condition that, for the product or group of products concerned, all the quantities put up for sale by the producers organisation or its members during the fishing year have been classified previously in accordance with the marketing standards referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.3. The requirements referred to in Article 23(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be fulfilled when the products are classified under the marketing standards set out in Article 2 of that Regulation. 1. In order to qualify for carry-over aid, products must undergo processing by one or more of the methods listed in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 within 48 hours of their withdrawal from the market. This processing may be carried out by the producers organisation concerned or by an enterprise to which the producers organisation sends the products.Before processing, products must be stored in such a way as to guarantee the upholding of their initial freshness category.2. Without prejudice to more restrictive national requirements or commercial standards practised in the Member States, the various processing methods must meet the following minimum conditions:(a) freezing must be carried out in appropriate installations which guarantee inter alia that a temperature of minus 18 째C is rapidly reached at the centre of the product;(b) salting must take the form of treatment which guarantees that the salt content of the finished product is not less than 16 %;(c) drying must be carried out in such a way that the water content of the processed product does not exceed 50 %;(d) marinating must take the form of treating the product with vinegar or food acid, salt and aromatic spices without heating the product so that the pH of the product is less than 4,8;(e) pasteurisation must be carried out in such a way that the core temperature of the product is maintained at at least 75 째C for at least 15 minutes.3. The storage of live edible crabs in fixed tanks or cages supplied with sea or salt water and approved for the purpose by Member States shall qualify as preservation for payment of the carry-over aid. 1. Products shall only qualify for the carry-over aid if, having been irreversibly processed, they meet the minimum conditions for storage and return to the market set out in paragraphs 2 and 3.2. In the case of frozen products the period of storage must not be less than five days as from the date on which processing is completed and the storage temperature must not be higher than minus 18 째C.In the case of salted, marinated, boiled or pasteurised products, the period of storage must not be less than five days as from the date on which processing is completed.In the case of dried products, the period of storage must not be less than five days from the date on which processing is completed, with a storage temperature not exceeding 4 째C and under appropriate conditions of humidity.In the case of all products stored in tanks or cages, the period of storage must not be less than five days.3. All products shall be placed back on the market in homogeneous lots by species, and in accordance with the provisions in force in each Member State for the marketing of products for human consumption.Products stored live in tanks or cages shall be placed back on the market for sale in such a way as not to interfere with normal marketing of the products concerned.4. Once returned for sale, products may not be stored a further time in order to qualify for the aid. 1. The level of the carry-over aid shall be fixed before the beginning of each fishing year in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 38(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.The carry-over aid shall be fixed per unit weight, to be applied to the net weight of the products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.2. The amount of the aid shall be calculated on the basis of the real technical costs and financial costs of operations indispensable for stabilising and storing the products in question as recorded in the Community during the previous fishing year.3. The following shall be considered as technical costs:(a) energy costs;(b) labour costs relating to storage and release from storage;(c) cost of materials for direct packaging;(d) processing costs (ingredients);(e) cost of transport from place of landing to place of processing.4. The financial costs shall be a flat-rate sum of EUR 10 per tonne for the year 2001. Thereafter the flat-rate shall be adjusted year on year using the interest rate which is set annually in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78.5. The level of carry-over aid fixed for the fishing year concerned shall apply to products entering storage during that year, irrespective of the end of the storage period.6. Article 2(1), (2) and (3), Article 3, Article 4(1)(c) and Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the carry-over aid arrangements provided for in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000. 1. Member States shall establish a monitoring system to ensure that the products in respect of which carry-over aid has been applied for are eligible.2. For the minimum period of storage referred to in Article 4(2), producer organisations shall ensure that beneficiaries of the aid keep a stock record for each category of products entered into storage.3. The producer organisation shall communicate the date, species, category and quantity of products entered into storage to the Member State concerned each month. 1. Carry-over aid shall be paid to the producer organisation concerned only once the competent authorities in the Member State have satisfied themselves that the quantities in respect of which aid is applied for do not exceed the limit laid down in Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 and have been either processed and stored or preserved, and subsequently placed back on the market, in accordance with this Regulation.2. Applications for carry-over aid shall be submitted by the producer organisations concerned to the competent authorities of the Member State within four months from the end of the fishing year concerned. The particulars to be given in applications shall be determined by the Member States.3. The national authorities shall pay carry-over aid within three months of receipt of the complete request for payment from the producer organisation concerned. At the request of the producer organisation concerned, the Member State shall grant a monthly advance on carry-over aid due in respect of the quantities for which aid is requested in that month, provided that the producer organisation has lodged a security equal to 105 % of the amount of the advance.Advances shall be calculated in accordance with the method set out in the Annex. 1. Each Member State shall notify the other Member States and the Commission of the name and address of the body designated to pay the carry-over aid.2. Each Member State shall notify the Commission by 31 January 2001 at the latest of the measures taken to implement Articles 6(1) and 7(2) and whenever these measures change. 0Regulation (EEC) No 3901/92 is hereby repealed. 1This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall be applicable from 1 January 2001.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

36680,"2009/815/EC: Commission Decision of 30 October 2009 authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize 59122xNK603 (DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2009) 8386) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 7(3) and 19(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) On 26 August 2005, Pioneer Overseas Corporation submitted to the competent authority of the United Kingdom an application, in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from 59122xNK603 maize (the application).(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of other products containing or consisting of 59122xNK603 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with Articles 5(5) and 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC. It also includes a monitoring plan for environmental effects conforming with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC.(3) On 25 November 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from 59122xNK603 maize as described in the application (the products) will have any adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment in the context of their intended uses (3). In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of that Regulation.(4) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products.(5) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.(6) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).(7) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from 59122xNK603 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided for by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and other products than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.(8) Similarly, the EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements for the use of the food and feed, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Articles 6(5) and 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.(9) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.(10) Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements for products consisting of, or containing GMOs.(11) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Articles 9(1) and 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (6).(12) The applicant has been consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision.(13) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman.(14) At its meeting on 19 October 2009, the Council was unable to reach a decision by qualified majority either for or against the proposal. The Council indicated that its proceedings on this file were concluded. It is accordingly for the Commission to adopt the measures,. Genetically modified organism and unique identifierGenetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) 59122xNK603, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier DAS-59122-7xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.

The reductions shall apply independently from each other and individually. However, the total amount of reductions shall not exceed 5 % of the total amount of aid determined.(b) in the case of intentional non-compliance in respect of any one of the minimum requirements defined by the Member State, the percentage of reduction shall be 20 % of the amount determined for the area concerned by the non-compliance. The reductions shall apply independently from each other and individually. However, the total amount of reductions shall not exceed the total amount of aid determined in respect of the area concerned by the non-compliance.(c) in the case of intentional non-compliance in respect of all the minimum requirements defined by the Member State, no aid shall be granted in respect of the area concerned by the non-compliance. Moreover, if more than 50 % of the area determined is concerned by the non-compliance, the farmer shall be totally excluded from receiving aid under the single area payment scheme in respect of the current calendar year.The total amount of reductions provided for in the first subparagraph shall not be more than the total amount of the aid to be granted.3.   The reductions and exclusions provided for in this Regulation shall be without prejudice to additional sanctions pursuant to any other provisions under Community or national law.

Nature of the programmeThe implementation of Community environment policy requires information on the state of the environment, on its vulnerability, and on the pressures and risks resulting from human activities. It also requires information on the interactions between the  environment and socio-economic activities and on the policies concerned. The present programme contributes to the process of building up this information and of making it available, as a harmonized complement to the work programme of the European  Environment Agency. The approach is to develop an environmental component in all relevant parts of Community statistics and to reinforce it where it exists already.The programme will result in an adequate description of those aspects of human activities which affect the environment:- either negatively by the pressure exerted on the environment and on natural resources,- or positively by the technical, economical or behavioural measures taken by society which reduce these pressures and their effects and improve the condition of the environment.The programme also forms a Community contribution to the environmental statistical programmes of international organizations (OECD, Conference of European Statisticians, Statistical Commission of the United Nations) as well as to the Community response  to Agenda 21.2. Work areasCommunity statistics will be turned to use and developed particularly in the following areas, so that they provide statistical data required for the production of environmental information:- extraction and consumption of raw materials,- production and consumption of agricultural and industrial products,- energy production and consumption,- construction and settlement,- leisure and tourism,- transport,- population growth, households and social welfare,- public services.The statistical data to be obtained on features of these areas relevant to the environment can concern such issues as:- production processes including techniques for preventing and reducing emissions and pollution,- output and handling of waste,- use of natural resources,- public and private expenditures.A further and priority work area is the development of frameworks for integrating economic and environmental data. In particular, the programme will work on:- defining an accounting framework for integrating economic data on the environment in overall accounting systems such as environmental satellite accounts and their links with the system of National Accounts and with natural resource accounting,- contributing to the development of natural resource accounting.Details of the data which can give environmental information in the above areas will be settled following the methods set out in point 3.3. MethodsEstablishing the contents, definitions, classifications and data collection methodology for the topics indicated above and setting up data collection systems requires:(i) studies to identify and define variables and indicators which are environmentally relevant;(ii) studies on the availability of data;(iii) pilot projects to test: (a) definitions and data collection methodology, (b) special surveys on variables of environmental interest as defined in Article 2 (3), and (c) how integration in general purpose surveys can be achieved;(iv) preparation of definitive texts setting out the content, definitions, classifications and data collection methods.Carrying out the programme will involve use of new information technology (e.g. remote sensing for data acquisition, computer networks for data transfer, geographical information systems for handling and working-up data) where they constitute the most  cost-efficient approach.ANNEX BEUROSTAT AND EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY COORDINATION  In the context of the agreement on the statistical programme in the field of the environment by the Executive Director of the European Environment Agency and the Director-General of Eurostat and its  approval by the Management Board of the Agency and the Statistical Programme Committee, this programme and its execution are coordinated with the work programme of the Agency. In particular the annual programme put before the Statistical Programme  Committee will be prepared in conjunction with the preparation of the annual programme of the Agency and, in a matching way, will be put before the Management Board of the Agency for approval. The two annual programmes will prepare and provide  integrated data and information, where necessary, through exchange of data and joint Eurostat-Agency activities.

That Annex sets out specifications for the protein content and source and the processing of protein used in the manufacture of such infant formulae manufactured from hydrolysates of whey proteins derived from cows′ milk protein.(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1609/2006 of 27 October 2006 authorising the placing on the market of infant formulae based on hydrolysates of whey protein derived from cows′ milk protein for a two-year period (3) authorises the placing on the market of infant formulae based on hydrolysates of cows′ milk in accordance with specifications for the protein content, source, processing and quality set out in the Annex thereto. That authorisation expires on 27 October 2008.(6) Directive 2006/141/EC provides on a permanent basis for the authorisation laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1609/2006. Annex VI to Directive 2006/141/EC set out the specifications for the protein content, protein source and protein processing for the infant formulae in question. However, the particular compositional requirements relating to the protein quality were not included in that Annex. The absence of such requirements would prevent the placing on the market of infant formulae manufactured from protein hydrolysates following the expiry of Regulation (EC) No 1609/2006.(7) The missing specifications concerning protein quality, which were included in the authorisation laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1609/2006, should be added to Annex VI to Directive 2006/141/EC. That Annex should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) In order to avoid any disruption on the market for infant formulae, this Regulation should apply from 28 October 2008.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annexes III and VI to Directive 2006/141/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

2707,"Commission Directive 2000/41/EC of 19 June 2000 postponing for a second time the date after which animal tests are prohibited for ingredients or combinations of ingredients of cosmetic products (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/11/EC(2), and in particular Article 4(1)(i) thereof,After consulting the Scientific Committee on cosmetic products and non-food products intended for consumers,Whereas:(1) The main objective of Directive 76/768/EEC is to protect public health. To this end it is indispensable to carry out certain toxicological tests to evaluate the safety for human health of ingredients and combinations of ingredients used in cosmetic products.(2) Pursuant to Article 4(1)(i) of Directive 76/768/EEC Member States should prohibit the marketing of cosmetic products containing ingredients or combinations of ingredients tested on animals after 30 June 2000 in order to meet the requirements of the Directive.(3) The second subparagraph of this provision also provides that the Commission should submit draft measures to postpone the date of implementation of this provision if there has been insufficient progress in developing satisfactory methods to replace animal testing, and in particular in those cases where alternative methods of testing, despite all reasonable endeavours, have not been scientifically validated as offering an equivalent level of protection for the consumer, taking into account OECD toxicity test guidelines.(4) In the absence of any scientifically validated alternative methods to animal experiments and any pertinent toxicity test guidelines in the field of alternative methods adopted by the OECD, it was necessary to postpone the date provided for in Article 4(1)(i) of Directive 76/768/EEC for the first time by Commission Directive 97/18/EC in compliance with the second subparagraph of this provision.(5) Three alternative methods have been validated in Europe to date. It is unlikely that the scientific state of the art will change significantly before 30 June 2000. Therefore, the date provided for in Article 4(1)(i) of Directive 76/768/EEC should be postponed for a second time in compliance with the second subparagraph of this provision and Article 2 of Directive 97/18/EC.(6) These three methods are being incorporated into Community law through their entry onto Annex V to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/33/EC(4).(7) Council Directive 86/609/EEC(5) of 24 November 1986 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States regarding the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes(6) provides that an animal test shall not be carried out if an alternative method is available.(8) These methods are therefore mandatory for use in all sectors including that of cosmetics.(9) The Commission has proposed a Directive amending for the seventh time Directive 76/768/EEC in order to solve definitively the issue of experiments on animals in the cosmetic products sector. Such a proposal should be adopted by co-decision procedure involving the European Parliament and the Council.(10) Taking into account that it can be expected that validated alternative methods will become available for other tests in the next two years and that the proposed Directive shall be adopted by that point of time, it is appropriate to postpone for the last time the date to 30 June 2002.(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives on the removal of technical barriers to trade in the cosmetic products sector,. The date of ""30 June 2000"" shall be replaced by ""30 June 2002"" in the first sentence of Article 4(1)(i) of Directive 76/768/EEC. 1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 29 June 2000 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive. This Directive shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

10843,"93/48/EEC: Commission Decision of 21 December 1992 relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 85 of the EEC Treaty (IV/33.031 - Fiat/Hitachi) (Only the English and Italian texts are authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962, First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 6 and 8 thereof,Having regard to the notification and application for negative clearance submitted on 23 December 1988 by Fiat Geotech Technolgie per la Terra SpA and Hitachi Construction Machinery Ltd concerning a joint venture, as well as the amendment thereto  submitted on 12 June 1992,Having regard to the summary of the notification published (2) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17,After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,Whereas:I. THE FACTS(1) On 23 December 1988 the Commission was requested to give negative clearance for, or, alternatively, to exempt pursuant to Article 85 (3), a joint venture for the manufacture, distribution and sale of hydraulic excavators and related products.The parties(2) The notifying parties are Fiat Geotech Tecnologie per la Terra SpA (Fiat) and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd (Hitachi). Fiat is a subsidiary of Fiat SpA of Turin. Hitachi is a subsidiary of Hitachi Limited of Japan.The product and market(3) The principal product involved is hydraulic excavators of between 10,5 and 45 tonnes. These are medium to large excavators used mainly in road construction, large public works contracts and in mines and quarries.(4) Such excavators form part of the wider earthmoving machinery market which includes six other types of equipment (wheel loaders, crawler loaders, backhoe loaders, dozers, graders and scrapers). They are sold throughout the world, and although there  are local markets, the more important customers which, however, represent only 10 % of the market, are international contracting firms that may buy anywhere in the world for use anywhere in the world.(5) After the worldwide recession in the early 1980s, when there was a drop in demand of about 35 %, the earthmoving machinery market seems to be on a slight rise or, at least, to have stabilized. Market changes have, however, influenced the structure  of producers operating throughout the sector, which means that some companies have left the sector, joint ventures and mergers have been entered into to cope with new market conditions, certain plants of companies still in business following the setting  up of joint ventures have been closed down and some producers have acquired plants abroad in order to be present directly in strategic markets. Within the Community the 8 largest manufacturers have 72 % of the market; the market leader has about 18 %.  Fiat is in fifth place while Hitachi is not a full-line producer present in all product lines.(6) Analysis of the earthmoving machinery market structure shows up separate subsectors which have, to some extent, developed differently over recent years. As regards the hydraulic excavator subsector in particular, it has grown as a percentage of  machines produced in the entire sector. Although the number of units sold show a decline, the sales of such excavators have held up relatively well compared with the sales of other types of earthmoving machinery.(7) The Community market is second in the world for excavators (with approximately 20 % of world sales) after the Japanese market; about 15 % of the excavators sold in the Community are produced outside.(8) There are many producers of hydraulic excavators. Within the Community the 8 largest manufacturers have 75 % of the market. The market leader has nearly 15 %. Fiat, having sixth place within the Community, has a very uneven penetration with a large  share above all in Italy, followed by Spain and France, and little elsewhere. Hitachi is in eighth place, and has a substantial presence only in the United Kingdom, Ireland and The Netherlands. Fiat and Hitachi combined had fourth place with about 12 %  of the market, which tey expect to rise to some [. . .] % (3) following the creation of the joint venture. There are many smaller producers, most of them operating on a local basis, with about 15 % of the market. At present European manufacturers  produce small quantities using components bought in from other suppliers. Even leading European manufacturers rely primarily on external suppliers for components. This is due to low output, as well as to the characteristics of the product and the  manufacturers is based not su much on product innovation and price as on product diversification between manufacturers, who cater for the specific market requirements in their own main countries or areas of operation.(9) The joint venture also makes hydraulic calinders, which are used as components of hydraulic excavators, but also of other earthmoving machinery, either for incorporation in the joint venture's principal products or for sale. In addition, the  arrangements concern the purchase of parts for incorporation in and the sale of spare parts for the principal product, and may involve the manufacture and/or distribution of other earthmoving or construction machinery. Many of the parts or components  used in excavators, for example the motors, are also used in a wide variety of other products.The arrangements(10) The notified agreements provide for the formation of a joint venture company called Fiat-Hitachi Excavators SpA (Fiat-Hitachi), based in Italy. It began trading by taking over the existing Fiat range of excavators and cylinders, but developed a new  Fiat-Hitachi range using Hitachi technology. The joint venture also organized the integration of the marketing structures and networks of Fiat and Hitachi in the countries indicated as exclusive joint-venture countries.(11) The joint venture has an exclusive market covering Western Europe (including the whole of the Community), the Mediterranean basin and Africa. It has non-exclusive access to the USA (where Hitachi has a joint venture with Deere) and the former  Comecon countries. It has no access to the rest of the world which is the exclusive territory of Hitachi (other than for the right of Fiat to continue to produce and sell its non-Hitachi design excavators through Fiatallis Latino-Americana).(12) Both Fiat and Hitachi license their relevant technology to the joint venture. The Fiat licence makes Fiat Hitachi joint owners of the technology with Fiat. The Hitachi licence is exclusive for the joint venture's exclusive market, and non-exclusive  elsewhere. These licences are perpetual and irrevocable.(13) After discussion with the services of the Commission, the parties have undertaken that, in so far as the Community is concerned, the agreements allow passive sales into the other's exclusive territory. This undertaking has been incorporated into  the agreements. This means, in so far as the Community is concerned, that although Hitachi will not seek to sell to Community-based contractors or other undertakings, it will accept orders coming from such purchasers.(14) The arrangements provide for the joint venture to buy all its motors from Iveco (which is part of the Fiat group) and all hydraulics which it does not manufacture itself from Hitachi.(15) The two parent companies undertake that should they decide to manufacture and/or sell, on the joint venture's exclusive market any type of earthmoving machinery not then manufactured or marketed, each of them grant to the other first refusal right  to realize such initiative together for the manufacture of such products through Fiat-Hitachi or by some other form of cooperation.(16) The arrangements include a minority participation by the Sumitomo Corporation in the joint venture. They also include provisions for the joint venture to buy plant, materials and components through Sumitomo, but at the joint venture's option rather  than exclusively.(17) The term of the joint venture runs until 2001, and is renewable. The various exclusivities remain in force until the end of that year.The parties' submissions(18) The parties ask for negative clearance claiming that, as Fiat is withdrawing from the market, Fiat and Hitachi are no longer competitors.(19) Alternatively, the parties ask for an exemption under Article 85 (3). They argue that:-  the agreements will lead to technologically-advanced products,- distribution and after-sales service will be improved,- the market share of the joint venture for 1988 is estimated at only some [. . .] % in the Community as a whole,- the agreements will, therefore, result in benefits for the consumer in terms of price, quality and reliability,- all the potentially restrictive provisions of the agreements are indispensable to achieving the objectives; in particular, the joint venture will be free to use all technology after the expiry of the relevant licences.II. LEGAL ASSESSMENTArticle 85(1)(20) The creation of the joint venture Fiat-Hitachi does not constitute a concentration within the meaning of Article 3 (2), second subparagraph of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 of 21 December 1989 on the control of concentrations between  undertakings (4). Fiat and Hitachi were actual competitors in Europe and worldwide before they entered into the agreement to create their joint venture. They have remained at least potential competitors thereafter. Hitachi operates on the same product  markets as Fiat-Hitachi in Japan and in the Far East and indirectly, through its joint venture with Deere, also in the USA. Fiat continues to develop, manufacture and sell its product range based on its own technology through Fiatallis Latino-Americana  and to operate in the other subsectors of the earthmoving machinery market. Both parent companies have retained their technolgies for the production of hydraulic excavators and components and merely granted a licence to their joint venture and the  relevant agreements are to terminate in the event of liquidation of the joint venture. As exclusive suppliers of motors and hydraulics, they are furthermore actively interested in the production and marketing acitivities of Fiat-Hitachi. Under these  circumstances, the joint venture has to be qualified as cooperative in nature. Its creation would have led to coordination of competitive behaviour between the parent companies, on the one hand, and between the parent companies and the joint venture on  the other hand, even if the parties had not included restrictive clauses in their contractual arrangements.(21) The parties have put together their European hydraulic excavator manufacturing and distribution activities. By agreeing not to compete with their joint venture, they have furthermore excluded any competition with each other and with the joint  venture in the latter's contractual territory.(22) The agreement gives Fiat-Hitachi an exclusive territory covering the whole of the Community, while excluding it from Hitachi'y home market, Japan, and from the Far East. This constitutes a ban on active imports by Hitachi into the Community.(23) The creation of the joint venture is expected to give Fiat and Hitachi a captive market for components for 16 % of the excavators sold within the Community.(24) These provisions in the agreements will have as their object or effect to appreciably restrict competition within the meaning of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty.Article 85(3)(25) The joint venture will develop better excavators than were currently being produced by Fiat and Hitachi separately, as each party will incorporate technically better components at its disposal. In addition, the merging of the separate and largely  complementary distribution systems of Fiat and Hitachi improves the distribution of the resulting product.(26) The joint venture is expected to have 16 % of the Community market for excavators. This will not give it a dominant position in this market. Moreover, it should be more effective than either Fiat and Hitachi separately, and, therefore, the creation  of the joint venture will bring about a more balanced market structure and the joint venture will in future operate throughout the Community. In consequence, the pruchasers of tractors should also benefit from the improvements in the products and of  their distribution.(27) Although the exclusive purchasing provisions, described in recital 14, foreclose sales opportunities for third party manufacturers of motors and hydraulics, this restriction results from the setting up of the joint venture and appears to be  reasonably necessary to its operation. In addition to that, the restriction will not have the effect of eliminating competition in respect of a substantial part of the products in question. In effect, even if third party manufacturers were to offer  terms such that, in the absence of such provisions, the joint venture might be led to purchase from them rather than from its parent companies, these manufacturers will still have access to a large market comprising not only other manufacturers of  hydraulic excavators but also manufacturers of the wide variety of products in which such motors and hydraulics are incorporated.(28) With the undertaking referred to in recital 13, the provisions on distribution as described above also appear to be no more than is necessary to allow the joint venture to function.(29) The notified agreements therefore meet the requirements for exemption pursuant to Article 85 (3).(30) The agreements will continue in force in their present form until the end of 2001. They were notified to the Commission on 23 December 1988. It appears appropriate therefore, pursuant to Articles 6 (1) and 8 (1) of Regulation No 17, to grant such  an exemption for a period of 13 years with effect from that date,. Article 1Pursuant to Article 85 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the provisions of Article 85 (1) are hereby declared inapplicable for the period from 23 December 1988 to 31 December 2001 to the joint venture agreement creating Fiat-Hitachi Excavators SpA and the related  agreements notified to the Commission on 23 December 1988.

16542,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 76/97 of 17 January 1997 on certain exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat in Germany. ,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 organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Germany, veterinary measures for that country were adopted by Commission Decision 93/566/EC, of 4 November 1993, concerning protection measures relating to classical swine fever in Germany and replacing Decision 93/539/EEC (3); whereas exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for Germany by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3088/93(4), as repealed by Regulation (EC) No 2066/94 (5);Whereas the exceptional support measures applied from 29 October 1993 until 18 August 1994 included the purchase of live pigs by the German authorities from the protection zone and their processing in particular into products intended for uses other than human consumption;Whereas between December 1993 and March 1994 the German veterinary authorities purchased live pigs from the protection zone in the Damme region, where there is a large pig population; whereas the pigs in question were covered by the restrictions on the free movement of pigs resulting from application of the measures to prevent the spread of classical swine fever; whereas their buying-in helped to prevent a serious disturbance on the pigmeat market in Germany; whereas these pigs were processed in the same way as those covered by Regulation (EC) No 3088/93;Whereas the presence of classical swine fever in the production areas of Lower Saxony and the measures to combat the disease heavily engaged the administration's resources for a long time; whereas it was not therefore possible to determine rapidly the exact nature of the purchases in the Damme region and to decide whether they constituted veterinary measures or exceptional market support measures; whereas, this delay made it impossible to include the purchase among the support measures introduced by Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 as that Regulation had been repealed in the meantime;Whereas the purchases have had the same beneficial effect on the market as those carried out under Regulation (EC) No 3088/93; whereas it is accordingly justified to consider them exceptional market support measures similar to those adopted by Regulation (EC) No 3088/93 and to apply the financing arrangements provided for by that Regulation;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. 1. The purchase of 90 106 live pigs between December 1993 and March 1994 by the German veterinary authorities in the Damme region is hereby deemed an exceptional market support measure.2. The purchase of 63 074 live pigs shall be borne by the Community budget.3. The purchase of 27 032 live pigs shall be borne by the national budget. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Purpose and scopeSamples intended for official checking of the levels of ochratoxin A content in foodstuffs shall be taken according to the methods described below. Aggregate samples thus obtained shall be considered as representative of the lots. Compliance with maximum limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 shall be established on the basis of the levels determined in the laboratory samples.2. DefinitionsLot: an identifiable quantity of a food commodity delivered at one time and determined by the official to have common characteristics, such as origin, variety, type of packing, packer, consignor or markingsSublot: designated part of a lot in order to apply the sampling method on that designated part. Each sublot must be physically separate and identifiableIncremental sample: a quantity of material taken from a single place in the lot or sublotAggregate sample: the combined total of all the incremental samples taken from the lot or sublot.3. General provisions3.1. PersonnelSampling shall be performed by an authorised person as specified by the Member States.3.2. Material to be sampledEach lot which is to be examined must be sampled separately. In accordance with the specific provisions of this Annex, large lots should be subdivided into sublots to be sampled separately.3.3. Precautions to be takenIn the course of sampling and preparation of the samples precautions must be taken to avoid any changes which would affect the ochratoxin A content, adversely affect the analytical determination or make the aggregate samples unrepresentative.3.4. Incremental samplesAs far as possible incremental samples should be taken at various places distributed throughout the lot or sublot. Departure from this procedure must be recorded in the record.3.5. Preparation of the aggregate sampleThe aggregate sample is made up by uniting the incremental samples.3.6. Replicate samplesThe replicate samples for enforcement, trade (defence) and referee purposes are to be taken from the homogenised sample, unless this conflicts with Member States' rules on sampling.3.7. Packaging and transmission of samplesEach sample shall be placed in a clean, inert container offering adequate protection from contamination and against damage in transit. All necessary precautions shall be taken to avoid any change in composition of the sample, which might arise during transportation or storage.3.8. Sealing and labelling of samplesEach sample taken for official use shall be sealed at the place of sampling and identified following the Member State's regulations.A record must be kept of each sampling, permitting each lot to be identified unambiguously and giving the date and place of sampling together with any additional information likely to be of assistance to the analyst.4. Specific provisions4.1. Different types of lotsFood commodities may be traded in bulk, containers, or individual packings (sacks, bags, retail packings, etc.). The sampling procedure can be applied to all the different forms in which the commodities are put on the market.Without prejudice to the specific provisions as laid down in points 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 of this Annex, the following formula can be used as a guide for the sampling of lots traded in individual packings (sacks, bags, retail packings, etc.):>PIC FILE= ""L_2002075EN.004001.TIF"">- Weight: in kg- Sampling Frequency (SF): every nth sack or bag from which an incremental sample must be taken (decimal figures should be rounded to the nearest whole number).4.2. Weight of the aggregate sampleThe weight of the incremental sample should be about 100 grams, unless otherwise defined in this Annex. In the case of lots in retail packings, the weight of the incremental sample depends on the weight of the retail packing.4.3. General survey of the sampling procedure for cereals and dried vine fruitTable 1: Subdivision of lots into sublots depending on product and lot weight>TABLE>4.4. Sampling procedure for cereals and cereal products (lots &gt;= 50 tonnes) and dried vine fruit (lots &gt;= 15 tonnes)- On condition that the sublot can be separated physically, each lot must be subdivided into sublots following Table 1. Taking into account that the weight of the lot is not always an exact multiple of the weight of the sublots, the weight of the sublot may exceed the mentioned weight by a maximum of 20 %.- Each sublot must be sampled separately.- Number of incremental samples: 100. In the case of lots of cereals under 50 tonnes and lots of dried vine fruit under 15 tonnes, see point 4.5. Weight of the aggregate sample = 10 kg.- If it is not possible to carry out the method of sampling described above because of the commercial consequences resulting from damage to the lot (because of packaging forms, means of transport, etc.) an alternative method of sampling may be applied provided that it is as representative as possible and is fully described and documented.4.5. Sampling provisions for cereals and cereal products (lots &lt;  50 tonnes) and for dried vine fruit (lots &lt;  15 tonnes)For cereal lots under 50 tonnes and for dried vine fruit lots under 15 tonnes, the sampling plan has to be used with 10 to 100 incremental samples, depending on the lot weight, resulting in an aggregate sample of 1 to 10 kg.The figures in the following table can be used to determine the number of incremental samples to be taken.Table 2: Number of incremental samples to be taken depending on the weight of the lot of cereals>TABLE>Table 3: Number of incremental samples to be taken depending on the weight of the lot of dried vine fruit>TABLE>4.6. Sampling at retail stageSampling of foodstuffs at the retail stage should be done where possible in accordance with the above sampling provisions. Where this is not possible, other effective sampling procedures at retail stage can be used provided that they ensure sufficient representativeness for the sampled lot.5. Acceptance of a lot or sublot- Acceptance if the aggregate sample conforms to the maximum limit.- Rejection if the aggregate sample exceeds the maximum limit.ANNEX IISAMPLE PREPARATION AND CRITERIA FOR METHODS OF ANALYSIS USED IN OFFICIAL CHECKING OF THE LEVELS OF OCHRATOXIN A IN CERTAIN FOODSTUFFS1. PrecautionsAs the distribution of ochratoxin A is non-homogeneous, samples should be prepared - and especially homogenised - with extreme care.All the material received by the laboratory is to be used for the preparation of test material.2. Treatment of the sample as received in the laboratoryFinely grind and mix thoroughly the complete aggregate sample using a process that has been demonstrated to achieve complete homogenisation.3. Subdivision of samples for enforcement and defence purposesThe replicate samples for enforcement, trade (defence) and referee purposes shall be taken from the homogenised material unless this conflicts with Member States' rules on sampling.4. Method of analysis to be used by the laboratory and laboratory control requirements4.1. DefinitionsA number of the most commonly used definitions that the laboratory will be required to use are given below:The most commonly quoted precision parameters are repeatability and reproducibility.r= Repeatability, the value below which the absolute difference between two single test results obtained under repeatability conditions (i.e. same sample, same operator, same apparatus, same laboratory, and short interval of time) may be expected to lie within a specific probability (typically 95 %) and hence r = 2,8 × srsr= 1 Standard deviation, calculated from results generated under repeatability conditionsRSDr = Relative standard deviation, calculated from results generated under repeatability conditions>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>is the average of results over all laboratories and samplesR = Reproducibility, the value below which the absolute difference between single test results obtained under reproducibility conditions (i.e. on identical material obtained by operators in different laboratories, using the standardised test method) may be expected to lie within a certain probability (typically 95 %); R = 2,8 × sRsR = Standard deviation, calculated from results under reproducibility conditionsRSDR = Relative standard deviation calculated from results generated under reproducibility conditions>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>.4.2. General requirementsMethods of analysis used for food control purposes must comply with the provisions of items 1 and 2 of the Annex to Directive 85/591/EEC concerning the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human consumption.4.3. Specific requirementsWhere no specific methods for the determination of ochratoxin A levels in foodstuffs are prescribed at Community level, laboratories may select any method provided the selected method meets the following criteria:Performance characteristics for ochratoxin A>TABLE>- The detection limits of the methods used are not stated as the precision values are given at the concentrations of interest.- The precision values are calculated from the Horwitz equation:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where:- RSDR is the relative standard deviation calculated from results generated under reproducibility conditions>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>,- C is the concentration ratio (i.e. 1 = 100 g/100 g, 0,001 = 1,000 mg/kg).This is a generalised precision equation, which has been found to be independent of analyte and matrix but solely dependent on concentration for most routine methods of analysis.4.4. Recovery calculationThe analytical result is to be reported corrected or uncorrected for recovery. The manner of reporting and the level of recovery must be reported.4.5. Laboratory quality standardsLaboratories must comply with Directive 93/99/EEC on the subject of additional measures concerning the official control of foodstuffs.

36804,"Commission Directive 2009/25/EC of 2 April 2009 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards an extension of the use of the active substance pyraclostrobin (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 second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) By Commission Directive 2004/30/EC (2) pyraclostrobin was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE.(2) When applying for the inclusion of pyraclostrobin its manufacturer BASF SE (hereinafter the notifier) submitted data on uses to control certain fungi which supported the overall conclusion that it may be expected that plant protection products containing pyraclostrobin will fulfil the safety requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Therefore, pyraclostrobin was included in Annex I to that Directive with the specific provision that Member States may only authorise uses as fungicide.(3) In addition to the control of fungi in certain agricultural uses, the notifier now has applied for an amendment to those specific provisions to allow pyraclostrobin to be used as a plant growth regulator. In order to support such an extension of the use, the notifier submitted additional information.(4) Germany evaluated the information and data submitted by the notifier. Germany informed the Commission in October 2008 about its conclusion that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for pyraclostrobin in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. In particular, the extension does not involve a modification of the application parameters, as set out in the specific provisions of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(5) Therefore it is justified to modify the specific provisions for pyraclostrobin.(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC 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 I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 3 August 2009 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

37751,"2010/71/: Commission Decision of 8 February 2010 concerning the non-inclusion of diazinon in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (notified under document C(2010) 749) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.(2) Diazinon is included in that list for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) The deadline for the submission of a complete dossier for active substances for use in product-type 18 was 30 April 2006. No complete dossier was however received within this time period.(4) The Commission informed the Member States accordingly. On 14 June 2006, the Commission also made that information public by electronic means.(5) Within the period of three months from that publication, a company indicated an interest in taking over the role of participant for diazinon for use in product-type 18.(6) Commission Decision 2007/794/EC of 29 November 2007 setting a new deadline for the submission of dossiers for certain substances to be examined under the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC (3) fixed the new deadline for the submission of a dossier to 30 April 2008.(7) Within this new deadline, before submitting its dossier, the applicant consulted Portugal, the rapporteur Member State designated for the evaluation of diazinon, to enquire whether its reference product, a flea collar, was to be considered as a biocidal product or a veterinary medicinal product.(8) Portugal, after consultation with the Commission and the other Member States, advised the applicant that most Member States would not consider a flea collar such as the one placed on the market by the applicant as a biocidal but as a veterinary medicinal product, as defined in Article 1(2) of Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).(9) In view of this advice the applicant did not submit a dossier for the inclusion of diazinon in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC for product-type 18. Pursuant to Article 12(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the role of participant for diazinon for product-type 18 may no longer be taken over.(10) Since the applicant did not submit a dossier within the prescribed period, diazinon should not be included for product-type 18 in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.(11) It is necessary to establish a longer period for the phasing-out of flea collars placed on the market of certain Member States as biocidal products to allow for their authorisation as veterinary medicinal products in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Diazinon (CAS number 333-41-5, EC number 206-373-8) shall not be included in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC for product-type 18. Flea collars placed on the market as biocidal products and containing diazinon for use in product-type 18 shall no longer be placed on the market with effect from 1 March 2013.Other biocidal products containing diazinon for use in product-type 18 shall no longer be placed on the market with effect from 1 March 2011.

For this reason provisions should be established for such payments on account for the Structural Funds: 7,5 % (for Member States of the European Union as constituted before 1 May 2004) and 9 % (for the Member States that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004) in order to accelerate the implementation of operational programmes.(11) By reason of the principles of equality of treatment and of legal security, the amendments relating to Articles 56(2) and 78(1) should apply during the whole 2007-2013 programming period. Retroactive application is therefore necessary with effect from 1 August 2006, the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 came into force. As the unprecedented crisis affecting international financial markets necessitates a rapid response in order to counter effects on the economy as a whole, other amendments should enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.(12) Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 should therefore be amended,.

Article 56(2) shall be replaced by the following:(a) the eligibility rules drawn up on the basis of paragraph 4 foresee the eligibility of such expenditure;(b) the amount of the expenditure is duly justified by supporting documents having equivalent probative value to invoices, without prejudice to provisions set out in specific Regulations;(c) in the case of contributions in kind, the co-financing from the Funds does not exceed the total of eligible expenditure, excluding the value of such contributions.’;4. Article 78 shall be amended as follows:(a) the last sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 78(1) shall be replaced by the following:(b) in Article 78(2) point (b) shall be deleted;(c) Article 78(4) shall be replaced by the following:5. in Article 82(1), second subparagraph, points (a), (b) and (c) shall be replaced by the following:‘(a) for Member States of the European Union as constituted before 1 May 2004: in 2007 2 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme, in 2008 3 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme, and in 2009 2,5 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme;(b) for Member States that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004: in 2007 2 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme, in 2008 3 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme and in 2009 4 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme;(c) if the operational programme falls under the European territorial cooperation objective and at least one of the participants is a Member State that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004, in 2007 2 % of the contribution from the ERDF to the operational programme, in 2008 3 % of the contribution from the ERDF to the operational programme and in 2009 4 % of the contribution from the ERDF to the operational programme.’.

24161,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1398/2002 of 31 July 2002 fixing, for the 2001/02 marketing year, the actual production of unginned cotton in Greece and the resulting reduction of the guide price and derogating, for the 2001/02 marketing year, from certain management rules and aid award procedures in Greece. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 19(1) and (2) and Article 21 thereof,Whereas:(1) Under the third indent of Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 actual production of unginned cotton is fixed taking account in particular of the quantities on which aid has been applied for. Of the total Greek production of unginned cotton delivered to ginning undertakings during the 2001/02 marketing year, namely 1354719 tonnes, the Greek authorities recognised 1148357 tonnes as eligible for aid, adjusted to 1183155 tonnes to take account of the quality criterion provided for in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 represented by cotton fibre yield.(2) All production of unginned cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality delivered to ginning undertakings could be treated as actual production. However, it should be noted that, generally speaking, where common agricultural policy mechanisms are applied, the production taken into account is that which fulfils the conditions laid down by the rules regarding eligibility for aid. Therefore, and because there is no specific provision concerning cotton, it is justified to regard as actual production the total production of unginned cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality which, without prejudice to Article 13(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme(3), comes from areas declared in accordance with Article 9 of the said Regulation and not excluded from the aid scheme pursuant to Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, and which is delivered by producers to ginning undertakings.(3) The quantity of 206362 tonnes of cotton which, on 15 May 2002, had not been recognised as eligible by the Greek authorities comprised, according to the information provided by those authorities, 138175 tonnes which failed to comply with the national rules on the reduction of areas adopted under Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 and/or involved failings or irregularities in the area declarations, 6376 tonnes which were not of sound and fair merchantable quality as provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, 52361 tonnes excluded due to abnormally high yields revealing a failure to observe sound agricultural practice, and finally 9450 tonnes which did not observe the delivery conditions.(4) According to the information communicated by the Greek authorities, for the 2001/02 marketing year the total area sown to cotton is 423038 hectares while Greek ministerial decree No 40420 of 28 February 2001 restricts, for that year, the areas eligible for production aid to 393770 hectares. The difference, 29268 hectares, reflects a minimum area not eligible for the aid pursuant to Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001. On the basis of an average yield of 3,032 tonnes per hectare for cotton considered eligible by the Greek authorities, the Commission estimates production from these 29268 hectares at 88741 tonnes.(5) The remainder of the 138175 tonnes, i.e. at the most 49434 tonnes, consists of cotton delivered for ginning covered by a declaration under the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) which does not mention, at least in total, the area actually sown to cotton by the producer in question. In other words, it comes either from an area not declared and as such not eligible for aid or from an area declared as being sown to another crop but actually sown to cotton. For cotton from an area not properly declared, under Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, without prejudice to the national penalties to be applied to the producers concerned, aid is granted to the ginning undertaking provided that all the other requirements have been met. In view of the impossibility of establishing within the 49434 tonnes a direct link between irregularities committed within the meaning of the said Article and the batches of cotton concerned, the conditions are not met for application of the said Article. Consequently the 49434 tonnes should be excluded in their entirety from actual production.(6) As a result, a quantity of 1210168 tonnes may be regarded as the total production of unginned cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality coming from areas eligible for aid and delivered by producers to ginning undertakings. Taking into account the adjustment for fibre yield, actual production of unginned cotton in Greece for the 2001/02 marketing year may therefore be put at 1246839 tonnes.(7) Under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1051/2001, if actual production in Spain and Greece exceeds 1031000 tonnes, the guide price referred to in Article 3(1) of that Regulation is to be reduced in each Member State where production exceeds its guaranteed national quantity (GNQ). This reduction is calculated differently depending on whether the GNQ is exceeded in both Greece and Spain or in only one of those Member States.(8) In the 2001/02 marketing year there has been an overrun in both Spain and Greece. Moreover, if the sum of actual production in Spain and Greece reduced by 1031000 tonnes is higher than 469000 tonnes, the 50 % reduction in the guide price increases gradually in accordance with the rules laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001. For the 2001/02 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton in Greece is in the eighth step of 15170 tonnes above its guaranteed national quantity increased by 356000 tonnes. The reduction in the guide price in Greece is therefore 66 %.(9) Community law does not provide for the exclusion from the aid scheme of the 52361 tonnes of cotton that was delivered and produced while failing to observe good agricultural practice. By contrast, the failure to observe the delivery conditions in the case of 9450 tonnes may be a criterion for not recognising those quantities as eligible for aid.(10) Of the quantities of cotton delivered to ginning undertakings in the 2001/02 marketing year but not recognised as eligible by the Greek authorities there is therefore a maximum 1237103 which may be eligible under Community rules. For these quantities, therefore, it should be possible to lodge aid applications as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and to lodge applications for supervised storage as referred to in Article 6 of that Regulation. As regards these aid applications and applications for supervised storage, to take account of their retrospective submission, it is necessary to derogate from certain management rules or aid calculation procedures laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.(11) Under Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 the amount of the aid to be paid is the amount applicable on the day the application for aid is submitted. Under the transitional measures provided for in Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, as regards aid applications in Greece submitted from the entry into force of this Regulation for the 2001/02 marketing year, it is necessary to derogate from this provision in order to avoid having to choose, a posteriori, the amount of aid. Under these circumstances, it should be laid down that the amount of aid is that which is valid on the day on which the quantities concerned by the applications in question enter the cotton ginning undertaking.(12) Under Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 the balance of the aid is paid before the end of the marketing year at the latest, once any adjustments to the aid resulting from application of Article 7 of that Regulation have been determined. The time limits required in the case of new aid applications for Greek unginned cotton eligible for aid for the 2001/02 marketing year do not allow the Greek authorities to pay the balance of the aid before 31 August 2002. Pursuant to the transitional measures provided for in Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, it is therefore necessary to extend, in Greece, the deadline for the payment of the balance of the aid for that year.(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Natural Fibres,. 1. For the 2001/02 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton is fixed at 1246839 tonnes for Greece.2. The amount by which the guide price is to be reduced for the 2001/02 marketing year is fixed at EUR 41,670/100 kg for Greece. 1. Notwithstanding the deadlines referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) and in Article 6(1), (3) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001, the aid applications and applications for supervised storage for the 2001/02 marketing year in Greece may, for the cotton referred to in paragraph 2, be submitted until 15 September 2002. 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 does not apply to the aid applications referred to in the first subparagraph.The applications for supervised storage referred to in the first subparagraph shall mention the date of entry of the batch or batches concerned into the ginning undertaking.2. The applications referred to in paragraph 1 shall relate to cotton of sound and fair merchantable quality:- not coming from areas which have been disqualified under Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001,- delivered to ginning undertakings for the 2001/02 marketing year in Greece and not having been recognised as eligible by 15 May 2002, including cotton for which no aid was applied for,- identified by batch and sampled in accordance with Article 6(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 and then ginned before 1 September 2002,- recorded in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001,- where applicable, by way of derogation from Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, at a price such that, for each producer concerned and for the total quantities of unginned cotton eligible for aid that producer has delivered for the 2001/02 marketing year, the average price paid is more than or equal to the minimum price referred to in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001. 1. Notwithstanding Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the amount of the aid corresponding to the aid applications referred to in Article 2(1) shall be that which is valid on the day on which the quantities of unginned cotton concerned enter the cotton ginning undertaking.2. Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the balance of the aid for the quantities of unginned cotton recognised as eligible for the 2001/02 marketing year in Greece may be granted until 15 October 2002. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

28498,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1201/2004 of 29 June 2004 opening and providing for the administration of a tariff quota for calves weighing not more than 80 kilograms and originating in Bulgaria or Romania (1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1) and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,Whereas,(1) Council Decision 2003/18/EC of 19 December 2002 concerning the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural concessions (2) and Council Decision 2003/286/EC of 8 April 2003 concerning the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Bulgaria, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural concession (3), provide for the opening of certain tariff quotas each year, namely for 178 000 live bovine animals weighing not more than 80 kilograms (order number 09.4598) and originating in certain third countries including Bulgaria and Romania, subject to certain conditions set out in the Annexes A(b) of the respective Protocols of these Decisions. Detailed rules of application for this tariff quota were adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1128/1999 of 28 May 1999 laying down detailed rules of application for a tariff quota for calves weighing not more than 80 kilograms originating in certain third countries (4).(2) To take into account the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, beneficiaries of this tariff quota together with Bulgaria and Romania, and the accession of Cyprus, Malta and Slovenia and pending the results of the negotiations of new tariff concessions for Bulgaria and Romania, it is appropriate to lay down in the detailed rules for the management of this tariff quota that for the period 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005 the available quantity should be staggered over the year in a suitable manner within the meaning of Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.(3) To take into account the traditional trade patterns between the Community and Bulgaria and Romania, quantities should be fixed for three periods taking into account supplies in the reference period 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2003 of live animals originating in Bulgaria and Romania. Once the ongoing negotiations on additional protocols to the respective Europe Agreements with these two countries have been finalised and ratified, new management rules will be implemented at the date of entry into force of the new concessions.(4) In order to provide a more equal access to the quota while ensuring a commercially viable number of animals per application, each application of import licences should respect a minimum and a maximum number of heads.(5) With a view to preventing speculation, the quantities available within the quota should be made accessible to operators able to show that they are genuinely engaged in import of a significant scale from third countries. In consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, the traders concerned should be required to have imported a minimum of 100 animals during the year 2003 given that a consignment of 100 animals may be considered to be a commercial viable consignment. Operators in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, should be allowed to apply on the basis of imports from countries which for them were third countries during the year 2003.(6) If such criteria are to be checked, applications must be presented in the Member State where the importer is entered in a VAT register.(7) In order to prevent speculation, importers no longer involved in trade in live bovine animals at 1 January 2004 should be denied access to the quota and licences should not be transferable.(8) Provision should be made for quantities for which licence applications may be requested to be allocated after a period of consideration and, where appropriate, once a uniform percentage reduction has been applied.(9) The arrangements should be managed using import licences. To this end, rules should be laid down on the submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where necessary by addition of certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (5) and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6).(10) Experience shows that a proper management of the quota also requires that the titular holder of the licence is a genuine importer. Therefore, such importer should actively participate in the purchase, transport and import of the animals concerned. Presentation of proof of those activities should thus also be a primary requirement with regard to the licence security.(11) With a view to ensuring a strict statistical control of the animals imported under the quota, the tolerance referred to in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not apply.(12) Regulation (EC) No 1128/99 should be subsequently repealed and replaced by this Regulation.(13) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. 1.   178 000 live bovine animals of a weight not exceeding 80 kg falling within CN code 0102 90 05 and originating in Bulgaria or Romania may be imported for the period 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005 under this Regulation subject to any reductions negotiated subsequently between the Community and these countries.The tariff quota shall have the order number 09.4598.2.   The rate of customs duty shall be reduced by 90 %.3.   The quantities referred to under paragraph 1 shall be staggered over the period referred to in that paragraph as follows:a) 5 000 live bovine animals for the period 1 July 2004 to 31 December 2004;b) 86 500 live animals for the period 1 January 2005 to 31 Mars 2005;c) 86 500 live animals for the period 1 April 2005 to 30 June 2005.4.   If, during one of the periods mentioned under paragraph 3(a) and (b), the quantity covered by licence applications submitted for each of these periods is less than the quantity available for the period in question, the remaining quantity of that period will be added to the quantity available for the following period. 1.   To be eligible under the quota provided for in Article 1, applicants must be natural or legal persons and must prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, at the time they submit their applications for import licences, that they have imported at least 100 animals covered by HS subheading 0102 90 during the year 2003.Applicants must be listed in a national VAT register.2.   Operators in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia may apply for import licences on the basis of the imports referred to in paragraph 1 from countries which for them were third countries in the year 2003.3.   Proof of import shall be furnished exclusively by means of the customs document of release for free circulation, duly endorsed by the customs authorities and containing a reference to the applicant concerned as being the consignee.Member States may accept copies of the documents referred to in the first subparagraph, duly certified by the competent authority.

26494,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1425/2003 of 11 August 2003 amending Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 as regards patulin (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,After consulting the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF),Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 563/2002(3), sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs. Maximum levels have been established for nitrates, aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, lead, cadmium, mercury, 3-MCPD and dioxins.(2) Some Member States have adopted, or plan to adopt, maximum levels for patulin in fruit juices in particular apple juice, solid apple products such as apple compote and apple puree and in such products intended for infants and young children. In view of the disparities between Member States and the consequent risk of distortion of competition, Community measures are necessary in order to ensure market unity while abiding by the principle of proportionality.(3) Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by fungi belonging to several genera, including Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Byssochlamys species. Although patulin can occur in many mouldy fruits, grains and other foods, the major sources of patulin contamination are apple products.(4) The Scientific Committee for Food endorsed in its meeting on 8 March 2000 the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) of 0,4 Îźg/kg body weight (bw) for patulin.(5) In 2001, a specific task ""Assessment of the dietary intake of patulin by the population of EU Member States"" in the framework of Council Directive 1993/5/EEC of 25 February 1993 on assistance to the Commission and cooperation by the Member States in the scientific examination of questions relating to food(4) (SCOOP) has been performed. It can be concluded from the assessment that the average exposure seems to be quite below the PMTDI of 0,4 Îźg/kg bw. Nevertheless taking into consideration specific groups of consumers, especially small children, and assuming worst cases, the exposure to patulin is more significant but still below the PMTDI.(6) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 is amended as follows:1. In Article 5, the following paragraph is added:""4. The Commission shall review the maximum levels for patulin laid down in points 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 of section 2 of Annex I by 30 June 2005 at the latest with a view to reducing them to take account of the progress in scientific and technological knowledge and the implementation of the 'Code of practice for the prevention and reduction of patulin contamination in apple juice and apple juice ingredients in other beverages'.""2. Annex I shall be amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 November 2003.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

15559,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1284/96 of 3 July 1996 initiating a 'new exporter' review of Council Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 concerning the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain polyester yarns (man-made staple fibres) originating, inter alia, in Turkey, repealing the duty with regard to imports from an exporter in this country and making these 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), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. Request for a review(1) The Commission has received an application for a 'new exporter` review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`). The application was lodged on 31 October 1995 by Kipas AS, Turkey, an exporter in Turkey which claims it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based with regard to the determination of dumping, i.e. the period from 1 January to 31 December 1989 (hereinafter referred to as 'the original investigation period`).B. Product(2) The products concerned are single and multiple (folded) or cabled yarns containing 85 % or more by weight of polyester staple fibres, not put up for retail sale, falling within CN codes 5509 21 10, 5509 21 90, 5509 22 10 and 5509 22 90 and other yarns of staple fibres mixed mainly or solely either with artificial staple fibres or with cotton, not put up for retail sale, falling within CN codes 5509 51 00 and 5509 53 00. These codes are given for information only and have no binding effect on the classification of the product.C. Existing measures(3) By Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 10,1 % on imports of the product concerned originating in Turkey, with the exception of several companies especially mentioned, which are subject to a lesser duty.D. Grounds for the review(4) The applicant, Kipas AS, Turkey, has shown that it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in Turkey which are subject to the aforementioned anti-dumping measures on the product concerned, and that it actually started exporting to the Community after the original investigation period. The applicant has further shown that it entered into a long-term contract to export a significant quantity of the product concerned to the Community.(5) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment.(6) In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation with a view to determine the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of duty to which its imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.E. Repeal of the duty in force and registration of imports(7) Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force shall be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in Turkey which are produced and exported by the applicant. At the same time, such imports shall be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14 (5) of that Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a determination of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively to the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant's possible future liability is not susceptible to estimation at this stage of the proceeding.F. Time limit(8) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided that they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigation, may make their views known in writing and provide supporting evidence. A period should also be fixed, within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing, giving particular reasons why they should be heard. Furthermore, it should be noted that in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the relevant time limits, 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,. Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, a review of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 is hereby initiated in order to determine if and to what extent imports of single and multiple (folded) or cabled yarns containing 85 % or more by weight of polyester staple fibres, not put up for retail sale, falling within CN codes 5509 21 10, 5509 21 90, 5509 22 10 and 5509 22 90 and other yarns of staple fibres mixed mainly or solely, either with artificial staple fibres or with cotton, not put up for retail sale, falling within CN codes 5509 51 00 and 5509 53 00, originating in Turkey, produced and exported by Kipas AS, Gaziantep Yolu Üzeri P.K. 125, 46200 Kahramanmaras, Turkey, shall be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 830/92. The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 is hereby repealed with regard to imports of the product identified in Article 1 (Taric additional code: 8896). The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known, present their views in writing and submit information within 37 days from the date of transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same time limit. The transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country shall be deemed to have taken place on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.Any information relating to the matter and any request for a hearing should be sent to the following address:European Commission,Directorate-General for External Economic RelationsCort 100 4/30Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200,B-1049 Brussels (3).

27481,"2004/643/EC: Commission Decision of 19 July 2004 concerning the placing on the market, in accordance with Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of a maize product (Zea mays L. line NK603) genetically modified for glyphosate tolerance (notified under document number C(2004) 2761)(Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 18(1) thereof,After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC, the placing on the market of a product containing or consisting of a genetically modified organism or a combination of genetically modified organisms is subject to written consent being granted by the competent authority of the Member State that received the notification for the placing on the market of that product in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Directive.(2) A notification concerning the placing on the market of a genetically modified maize product (Zea mays L. line NK603), to be used as any other maize but not for cultivation, was submitted by Monsanto SA to the competent authority of Spain which transmitted it to the Commission and to the competent authorities of other Member States with a positive opinion.(3) The competent authorities of other Member States raised objections to the placing on the market of the product.(4) The opinion adopted on 25 November 2003 by the European Food Safety Authority, as established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (2), concluded that Zea mays L. line NK603 is as safe as conventional maize and that its placing on the market for food, feed or processing is therefore unlikely to have an adverse effect on human or animal health or, in that context, on the environment.(5) An examination of each of the objections in the light of Directive 2001/18/EC, of the information submitted in the notification and of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, discloses no reason to believe that the placing on the market of Zea mays L. line NK603 will adversely affect human or animal health or the environment.(6) A unique identifier should be assigned to the product for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003.(7) Adventitious or technically unavoidable traces of genetically modified organisms in products are exempted from labelling and traceability requirements in accordance with thresholds established under Directive 2001/18/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (3).(8) Taking account of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, there is no reason to establish specific conditions with regard to the handling or packaging of the product and the protection of particular ecosystems/environments and/or geographical areas.(9) Prior to the placing on the market of the product, the necessary measures to ensure its labelling and traceability at all stages of its placing on the market, including verification by appropriate detection methodology, should be applicable.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 30 of Directive 2001/18/EC and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. Since on the expiry of the period laid down in Article 30(2) of Directive 2001/18/EC the Council had neither adopted the proposed measures nor indicated its opposition to them in accordance with Article 5(6) of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4) the measures should be adopted by the Commission,.

whereas an analysis of the sector for 1995 shows that the situation  is unlikely to improve significantly;Whereas experience gained and forecasts for 1995 show that, in the absence of Community measures,  massive imports into the Community of live bovine animals of up to 160 kg are likely to occur, due,  in particular, to the economically favourable stockfarming conditions existing in certain third  countries; whereas such imports are likely to greatly exceed both the traditional annual level of  imports and the absorption capacity of the Community market; whereas, therefore, the beef and veal  market would be threatened with serious disturbance endangering, in particular, market prices and  producers' incomes and making public intervention more difficult;Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3076/94 of 16 December 1994 introducing management measures  for imports of certain bovine animals for the first half of 1995  (1) provides for the management  measures required to take account of market supply needs; whereas, in view of the aforementioned  factors and circumstances, similar measures should be taken for the period ending 31 December  1995;Whereas, however, it is necessary to take into account the application from 1 July 1995 of the  Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations;  whereas the management measures provided for should therefore be restricted to products from the  third countries to which the Community grants preferential treatment and which have accepted that  the Community take measures to manage the importation of the animals in question;Whereas the total absorption capacity of the Community market in 1995 is estimated at 425  000 head  other than purebred breeding animals; whereas, in view of imports planned under certain  preferential arrangements for 1995, i.e.: 277  200 head in the Council estimate and under the new  Uruguay Round quota concerning young male bovine animals weighing 300 kg or less and intended for  fattening and under the Europe Agreements concluded with the Republic of Poland, the Republic of  Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania and the Republic Bulgaria and the  agreements on free trade and trade-related measures with the Baltic Republics, 144  300 head should  be admitted for import at the full levy in 1995;Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3076/94 of 16 December 1994 introduces management measures for imports  for the first half of 1995 in respect of 50  % of the aforementioned figure; whereas management  measures should be taken in respect of the other 50  % with, as countries of origin, the  aforementioned countries;Whereas the Commission will closely monitor developments on the beef and veal market so as to be  able to react immediately to any changes in the relevant economic criteria;Whereas, in order to take account to the greatest possible extent of the traditional structure of  the Community veal market, imports should be restricted to animals weighing 80 kg or less;Whereas experience shows that limiting imports can give rise to speculative import applications;  whereas, in order to guarantee that the planned measures function correctly, most of the quantities  available should be reserved for so-called traditional importers of live bovine animals; whereas,  so as not to introduce rigidity into trade relations in the sector, a second allocation should be  made available for operators able to show that they are carrying out a genuine activity involving  trade in a significant number of animals with countries which are third countries on 31 December  1994; whereas in consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, a minimum of  100 animals should be required to have been exported or imported during 1994 by the operators  concerned; whereas a batch of 100 animals in principle constitutes a normal load and whereas  experience has shown that the sale or purchase of a single batch is a minimum requirement for a  transaction to be considered real and viable; whereas verification of those criteria requires that  all applications from the same operator be submitted in the same Member State;Whereas steps must be taken to ensure that importers in the new Member States falling within the  first category can participate fairly in the allocation of the quantities available; whereas for  those importers, therefore, imports from countries which are for them third countries on 31  December 1994 of animals corresponding to those to which the quota refers carried out between 1  January 1992 and 31 December 1994 should be taken into account as reference quantities giving  access to the quantities reserved for traditional importers;Whereas, so as to avoid speculation, access to the quota should be denied to operators no longer  carrying out an activity in the beef and veal sector on 1 January 1995;Whereas administrative and technical procedures for the allocation between the eligible operators  and for the issue and use of import licences must be established; whereas Commission Regulation  (EEC) No 3719/88  (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95  (3), lays down common  detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing  certificates for agricultural products;Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time  limit set by its chairman,. Imports into the Community, at the levy provided for in the Common  Customs Tariff of live bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102  90  05, 0102  90  21, 0102  90   29, 0102  90  41 and 0102  90  49, as referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No  805/68, originating in the third countries listed in Annex I, shall be subject to the management  measures laid down in this Regulation. 1.  Import licences for the second half of 1995 may be issued in respect of not more  than 72  150 animals falling within CN code 0102  90  05.2.

The 50  505 head shall be allocated among the eligible importers in proportion to their imports  of animals within the meaning of Article 1 at the full levy during 1992, 1993 and 1994 proven in  accordance with paragraph 5.4.  The 21  645 head shall be allocated in proportion to the quantities applied for by the eligible  importers.5.

Import applications may be presented only in the Member State in which the  applicant is registered within the meaning of Article 2 (2).2.  For the purposes of Article 2 (2) (a), importers shall present the import applications to the  competent authorities together with the proof referred to in Article 2 (5) by 10 July 1995 at the  latest.After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by 24  July 1995 at the latest, the list of importers who meet the conditions for acceptance, showing in  particular their names and addresses and the numbers of animals imported at the full levy during  each of the reference years.3.  For the purposes of Article 2 (2) (b), importers may lodge import applications until 10 July  1995, together with the proof referred to in Article 2 (5).Only one application may be lodged by each applicant. Where the same applicant lodges more than one  application, all applications from that person shall be inadmissible. Applications may not concern  a quantity larger than the available quantity.After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by 24  July 1995 at the latest, the list of applicants and the quantities requested.4.

The Commission shall decide to what extent applications may be accepted.2.  As regards the applications referred to in Article 4 (3), if the quantities in respect of which  applications are made exceed the quantities available, the Commission shall reduce the quantities  applied for by a fixed percentage.If the reduction referred to in the preceding subparagraph results in a quantity of less than 100  head per application, the allocation shall be by drawing lots, by batches of 100 head, by the  Member States concerned. If the remaining quantity is less than 100 head, a single licence shall be  issued for that quantity. 1.  Imports of the quantities allocated in accordance with Article 5 shall be subject  to the presentation of an import licence.2.

35899,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 of 4 July 2008 recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community (Recast). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) thereof,Having regard to the requests made by Ireland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Lithuania, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia,Whereas:(1) Commission Directive 2001/32/EC of 8 May 2001 recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community and repealing Directive 92/76/EEC (2) has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.(2) Under Directive 2000/29/EC, ‘protected zones’ exposed to particular plant health risks may be defined and therefore may be accorded special protection under conditions compatible with the internal market. Such zones were defined in Commission Directive 2001/32/EC.(3) Certain Member States or certain areas in Member States are recognised as protected zones in respect of certain harmful organisms. In some cases recognition was granted provisionally, because the full information necessary to show that the harmful organism in question was not present in the Member State or area concerned had not been provided or efforts to eradicate such an organism had not been concluded. Where the Member States concerned have provided the necessary information, the zones in question should be recognised as permanent protected zones. The provisional recognition should exceptionally be extended for a further limited period to give the Member States concerned the necessary additional time to submit information showing that that organism is not present or, where necessary, to complete their efforts to eradicate it. In other cases protected zones should no longer be recognised as such since harmful organisms are now present.(4) Cyprus was provisionally recognised as a protected zone with respect to Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch), Ips sexdentatus Börner and Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say until 31 March 2008. From information supplied by Cyprus since the provisional recognition was granted, it appears that those organisms are not present in Cyprus. Therefore Cyprus should be recognised as a permanent protected zone with respect to those organisms.(5) Certain regions of Spain were recognised as protected zones with respect to Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Den. and Schiff.). From information supplied by Spain, it appears that that organism is now established in these regions. They should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that organism.(6) Certain regions in Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Slovakia, and the whole territory of Ireland and Lithuania were provisionally recognised as protected zones with respect to Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. until 31 March 2008.(7) From information supplied by Ireland, Lithuania and Slovakia, it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zones for those countries in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should exceptionally be extended for two years to give those Member States the necessary time to submit information showing that that organism is not present or, where necessary, to complete their efforts to eradicate it.(8) From information supplied by Italy and Slovenia, it appears that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established in some regions, which have previously been provisionally recognised as protected zones for that organism until 31 March 2008. Those regions should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone for that organism.(9) From information supplied by Austria, it appears that due to unfavourable conditions in 2007 there were several outbreaks of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. in some parts of its territory, which have been provisionally recognised as protected zones for this harmful organism. For this reason, the provisional recognition of the protected zones for certain regions in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should be extended for one year to give Austria the necessary time to verify that the eradication efforts made by Austria in 2007 are efficient and submit information showing that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is not present or, where necessary, to complete its efforts to eradicate that organism in 2008.(10) Malta was provisionally recognised as a protected zone with respect to Citrus tristeza virus (European strains) until 31 March 2008. From information supplied by Malta, it appears that the efforts to eradicate that organism have been successful. Therefore Malta should be recognised as a permanent protected zone with respect to that organism.(11) The territory of Portugal was recognised as a protected zone with respect to Citrus tristeza virus (European strains). From information supplied by Portugal, it appears that that organism is now established in a part of its territory. That part of the Portuguese territory should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that organism.(12) It is therefore necessary to modify the existing designation of protected zones.(13) In the past protected zones were recognised and amended by Directive. To achieve a timely and simultaneous application by Member States, protected zones should be recognised by Regulation.(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health.(15) This Regulation should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,. The zones in the Community listed in Annex I are recognised as protected zones within the meaning of the first subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) of Directive 2000/29/EC, in respect of the harmful organism(s) listed against their names in Annex I to this Regulation. Directive 2001/32/EC, as amended by the acts listed in Annex II, Part A, is repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B.References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.

These applications must be accompanied by a security referred to in Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 907/2000(3). Article 7(2) of the same Regulation defines the primary requirements for the said security. In accordance herewith, an operator cannot withdraw a contract application and must place and keep in storage at least 90 % of the contractual quantity.(2) Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2777/2000 of 18 December 2000 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market(4) provides that meat from animals aged more than 30 months and slaughtered in the Community after 1 January 2001 can only be released for human consumption if tested negatively for BSE. These tests can only be carried out at the time of slaughter. The Council had on 4 December 2000 announced the intentions of the Commission to adopt the abovementioned measure and the information was subsequently widely spread. Operators who had applied for private storage contracts before that date could not know that the market conditions for release of beef for human consumption would change fundamentally before they were allowed to take the products out of private storage. Consequently, it is appropriate to provide that contracts applied for before 5 December 2000 may be cancelled without loss of the security and at the same time to release any stored quantities under the contracts.(3) Operators should be allowed to make use of this Regulation as quickly as possible.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. Contracts concluded under Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 on the basis of applications lodged before 5 December 2000 may be cancelled at the request of the contracting party.By way of derogation from Article 7(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 907/2000, the securities and stored quantities related to the cancelled contracts shall be released immediately. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall be applicable from 5 December 2000.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

12027,"COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3190/93 of 19 November 1993 fixing the uniform reduction coefficient for determining the quantities of bananas to be allocated to each operator in categories A and B in the context of the tariff quota 1994. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3026/93 (3), lays down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community;Whereas Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 set the volume of the tariff quota for the import of third country and non-traditional ACP bananas, at 1 330 000 tonnes for category A operators and at 600 000 tonnes for category B operators;Whereas in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93, the competent authorities of the Member States should, following appropriate control and verification, determine the reference quantities for category A and B operators for the period  1990 to 1992; whereas, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 19 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 and Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93, the competent authorities should determine the quantity allocated to each operator in the  abovementioned categories for 1994;Whereas the figure for the total of the reference quantities calculated in this way amounts to 2 625 259 tonnes for all category A operators and to 1 394 645 tonnes for all category B operators; whereas, in consequence, it is necessary to apply Article  6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 in order to comply with the volume of the tariff quota opened 1994 and to set, for each of the abovementioned categories of operators, uniform reduction coefficients to be applied to each operator's reference quantity to  determine the quantity allocated for of 1994;Whereas the notifications made by the Member States pursuant to Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 concerning the total reference quantities allocated to the operators registered with them and the total quantities of bananas marketed in  respect of each activity by those operators reveal that the same quantities in respect of the same activity have been counted twice for different operators in several Member States; whereas checks made with the competent authorities in several Member  States have corroborated these findings and enabled a relatively precise assessment to be made of the quantities involved in this duplication which arises from an incorrect application of the criteria for determining the activities giving right to an  allocation from the tariff quota;Whereas use of the abovementioned figures as notified by certain Member States would lead, in view of the quantities counted twice, to the determination, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93, of an excessively high single reduction  coefficient to the disadvantage of the category of operators referred to in Article 19 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93; whereas to prevent a serious distortion in the way operators are dealt with resulting in a disadvantage to certain operators  which would be very difficult to rectify and a disturbance of the tariff quota arrangements, the reduction coefficient should be determined on the basis of the notifications from the Member States after the quantities counted twice have been estimated  by the Commission and the figures corrected accordingly;Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not given an opinion within the time limit set down by its President,. In the context of the tariff quota laid down in Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, the quantity allocated to each operator of categories A and B for the period 1 January to 31 December 1994, is determined by applying the  following reduction coefficients to the operator's reference quantity, determined in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93:- for each category A operator: 0,506617- for each category B operator: 0,430217 This Regulation shall enter into force 0,420217 the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.The amendment provisions of this Regulation shall apply without prejudice to subsequent amendment, following amendment of the communications by the Member States.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

13810,"95/435/EC: Council Decision of 23 October 1995 authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to conclude an agreement with the Republic of Poland containing measures derogating from Articles 2 and 3 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the  laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform  basis of assessment  (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, under Article 30 of the Sixth VAT Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal  from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to conclude with a non-member country or an  international organization an agreement which may contain derogations from the said Directive;Whereas, by letter officially received by the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 20 January  1995, the German Government requested authorization to conclude an agreement with Poland concerning  the link-up of the German road B97 and the Polish road 274, and the construction of a frontier  bridge across the Neisse in the Guben and Gubinek area, which contains derogations from Articles 2  and 3 of the Sixth Directive as regards the construction of the frontier bridge;Whereas the other Member States were informed on 20 February 1995 of the German request;Whereas, in the absence of derogations, the construction work carried out on German territory would  be subject to VAT in Germany while that carried out on Polish territory would be outside the scope  of the Sixth Directive and whereas, in addition, each importation from Poland into Germany of goods  used for the construction of the frontier bridge would be subject to VAT in Germany;Whereas the purpose of these derogations is to simplify the rules of taxation for the contractors  carrying out the construction work on the frontier bridge in question;Whereas the derogations will have only a negligible effect on the own resources of the European  Communities accruing from value added tax,. The Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to conclude an  agreement with the Republic of Poland concerning the link-up of the German road B97 and the Polish  road 274 and the construction of a frontier bridge across the Neisse in the Guben and Gubinek area  and containing measures derogating from the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC. These derogations are  defined in Articles 2 and 3 of this Decision. By way of derogation from Article 3 of the Sixth Directive, that part of the territory  of the Federal Republic of Germany in the region of Guben in which work to construct a frontier  bridge across the Neisse linking German road B97 and Polish national road 274 is carried out shall  be deemed to be part of the territory of the Republic of Poland for the purposes of supplies of  goods and services intended for use in the construction of that bridge. By way of derogation from point 2 of Article 2 of the Sixth Directive, the importation  of goods into Germany from Poland shall not be subject to value added tax insofar as those goods  are used for the construction of a frontier bridge across the Neisse in the Guben and Gubinek area  linking German road B97 and Polish road 274. However, this derogation shall not apply to  importations of goods effected by a public authority. This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany..

Winsl. et al. for a period expiring on 31 March 2002.(2) Under Directive 2001/32/EC, the United Kingdom was provisionally recognised as a protected zone for beet necrotic yellow vein virus for a period expiring on 31 March 2002.(3) From information supplied by Austria, Ireland and Italy it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zones for those countries in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should exceptionally be extended for a further period to enable the responsible official bodies of those countries to complete the information on the distribution of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. and to complete efforts for the eradication of this harmful organism in the areas concerned.(4) From information supplied by Italy it appears that the protected zone of Apulia should no longer be recognised as a permanent protected zone in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. but should now be provisionally recognised as a protected zone as regards Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. for a limited period expiring on 31 March 2003 to enable the responsible official bodies to complete the information on the distribution of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. and to complete efforts for the eradication of this harmful organism within this protected zone.(5) From information supplied by Italy it appears that some parts of the province of Veneto should no longer be recognised as protected zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. because it appears to be widespread within those zones whilst the provisional recognition as protected zones for other zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should be extended exceptionally for a further limited period.(6) From information supplied by the United Kingdom on the presence of beet necrotic yellow vein virus it appears that it is no longer appropriate to maintain the protected zone for the whole of the United Kingdom in respect of beet necrotic yellow vein virus but should be restricted to Northern Ireland only.(7) Under Directive 2001/32/EC Sweden was recognised as a protected zone on a permanent basis in respect of beet necrotic yellow vein virus. From information supplied by Sweden on the presence of beet necrotic yellow vein virus it appears that Sweden should now be provisionally recognised as a protected zone as regards beet necrotic yellow vein virus for a limited period expiring on 31 March 2003 to enable the responsible official bodies to complete the information on the distribution of beet necrotic yellow vein virus and to complete efforts for the eradication of this harmful organism.(8) The definition of the plants for which protected zones were recognised as regards Citrus tristeza virus should be modified.(9) From information supplied by the United Kingdom based on updated surveys it appears that the protected zone recognised for Dendroctonus micans Kugelan in the United Kingdom should be modified.(10) From information supplied by France based on updated surveys it appears that the protected zone recognised for Matsucoccus feytaudi Duc. in France should no longer be maintained.(11) Directive 2001/32/EC should, therefore, be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. Directive 2001/32/EC is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 1 is amended as follows:(a) the second paragraph is replaced by: ""In the case of point (b)(2), for Ireland, for Italy (Puglia, Emilia-Romagna: provinces of Forlí-Cesena, Parma, Piacenza and Rimini; Lombardia; Trentino-Alto Adige: autonomous province of Bolzano; Veneto: except in the province of Rovigo the communes Rovigo, Polesella, Villamarzana, Fratta Polesine, San Bellino, Badia Polesine, Trecenta, Ceneselli, Pontecchio Polesine, Arquà Polesine, Costa di Rovigo, Occhiobello, Lendinara, Canda, Ficarolo, Guarda Veneta, Frassinelle Polesine, Villanova del Ghebbo, Fiesso Umbertiano, Castelguglielmo, Bagnolo di Po, Giacciano con Baruchella, Bosaro, Canaro, Lusia, Pincara, Stienta, Gaiba, Salara, and in the province of Padova the communes Castelbaldo, Barbona, Piacenza d'Adige, Vescovana, S.

A countrywide duty of 47,8 % was imposed on all other companies.(3) Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 gives the possibility to Chinese exporting producers which meet the four criteria set out in that Article to be granted the same treatment as the one mentioned in recital (2) above for the cooperating companies not included in the sample (‘New Exporting Producer Treatment’ or ‘NEPT’).B.   NEW EXPORTING PRODUCERS' REQUESTS(4) Nine companies have requested to be granted NEPT.(5) An examination has been carried out to determine whether each of the applicants fulfils the criteria for being granted NEPT as set out in Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005, by verifying that:1. it did not export to the Community the products described in recital (1) above during the investigation period (1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004);2. it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the People’s Republic of China which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by that Regulation;3. it has actually exported to the Community the products concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community;4. it operates under market economy conditions defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively that it fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.(6) Since the fourth criterion implies that the applicants submit a claim for MET or IT, the Commission sent MET and IT claim forms to all Chinese applicants. All Chinese applicant companies requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.(7) Briefly, and for ease of reference only, the MET criteria are set out in summarised form below:1. business decisions and costs are made in response to market signals and without significant State interference; and costs of major inputs substantially reflect market values;2. firms have one clear set of basic accounting records which are independently audited in line with international accounting standards (3) and are applied for all purposes;3. there are no significant distortions carried over from the former non-market economy system;4. bankruptcy and property laws guarantee legal certainty and stability;5. exchange-rate conversions are carried out at market rates.(8) Questionnaires were sent to all applicants who were asked to supply evidence to demonstrate that they met the criteria mentioned above.(9) Exporting producers fulfilling these criteria may be granted the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample, pursuant to Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005.C.   FINDINGS(10) One Chinese company requesting NEPT did not submit any reply to the questionnaire and one company did not submit any reply to a deficiency letter of their questionnaire reply. It was therefore not possible to verify whether these companies fulfilled the criteria set out in Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 and their request had to be rejected. These companies were informed that their application would not be considered any further and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.(11) Seven companies submitted complete replies to the questionnaires. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the determination of the fourth criterion (MET/IT) set out in Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the seven following companies:— Wuxi Norlong Foundry Co. Ltd (Wuxi New District, Jiangsu) (‘Norlong’),— Baoding City Maikesaier Casting Ltd (Xinanli, Hebei) (‘Maikesaier’),— XianXian Guozhuang Precision Casting Co. Ltd (Guozhuang, Hebei) (‘XianXian’),— Changsha Wuxing Foundry Co. Ltd (Wangcheng County, Changsha) (‘Wuxing’) and related company Changsha J & J Sunshine Machinery and Electronic Co. Ltd (189 Wuyi Road, Changsha) (‘Sunshine’),— Baoding Yuehai Machine Manufacturing Co. Ltd (Baoding, Hebei) (‘Yuehai’),— HanDan County Yan Yuan Smelting and Casting Co. Ltd (Han Dan County, Hebei) (‘Yan Yuan’),— Tianjin Loiselet Art Casting Co. Ltd (Jinghai, Tianjin) (‘Loiselet’).(12) For each of the seven companies visited, it was verified whether the four criteria mentioned at recital (5) above were met.(13) For two Chinese exporting producers, Maikesaier and Yuehai, the examination of the information submitted showed that they had provided sufficient evidence to prove that they meet the four criteria set out in Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 and, concerning the last criterion, that they meet the five conditions for MET. Therefore, these two producers can be granted the weighted average duty rate for companies granted MET applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample (i.e. 0 %) in accordance with Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 and be added to the list of exporting producers of Article 1(2) of that Regulation.(14) Four Chinese exporting producers, Norlong, XianXian, Yan Yuan and Loiselet provided sufficient evidence to prove that they meet the four criteria set out in Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005. However, concerning the last criterion, they could not show that they meet the conditions to be granted MET.(15) For Norlong it was found that it had received a substantial public land-use right refund. Criterion 3 for MET was therefore not considered to be fulfilled. It was also concluded that in the light of the fact that criterion 3 could not be met, a final determination concerning criterion 1 could not be made. However, no evidence was found that this company did not fulfil the five criteria for IT.(16) For XianXian it was found that it could not fulfil criteria 1, 2 and 3 for MET. The company did not submit sufficient evidence to show that it operated under market economy conditions and that its costs reflected market values. Furthermore, the company was found not to have one clear set of accounting standards audited in line with international accounting standards. Finally, it was found that the company had obtained land rent contracts at abnormally low prices in both absolute and relative figures.(17) It was found that Yan Yuan did not meet criterion 2 for MET. The 2006 accounts of this company had not been audited, contrary to Chinese law and international accounting standards, and other accounting irregularities were also discovered, notably the fact that raw materials were purchased from private individuals, without invoicing.(18) For Loiselet it was found that criteria 2 and 3 for MET were not met. In particular, it was established that most of the company’s main assets did not appear in the accounts of the company. It also appeared that rental agreement for the land and buildings of the plant was not respected.(19) In view of the conclusions reached on the accounting practices of XianXian, Yan Yuan and Loiselet, it cannot be concluded that their export prices are reliable enough to be used for an individual dumping margin calculation and therefore it cannot be concluded whether they fulfil the second criterion for IT. All other four criteria for IT are met. However, considering the fact, that their export prices would not be used to calculate the dumping margin, if these three companies fell under the weighted average duty rate of 28,6 % calculated for the sampled companies granted IT in the original investigation, it is concluded that, in the context of this examination, these companies can be granted the same treatment as those falling under the weighted average duty rate.(20) Therefore, Norlong, XianXian, Yan Yuan and Loiselet can be granted the weighted average duty rate for companies granted IT applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample (i.e. 28,6 %) in accordance with Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 and be added to the list of exporting producers of Article 1(2) of that Regulation.(21) Wuxing was found not to provide sufficient evidence to show to be the producer of the product concerned exported to the EC. Therefore, this producer did not fulfil the third criterion set out in Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005, and its request for NEPT was therefore rejected.D.   MODIFICATION OF THE LIST OF COMPANIES BENEFITING FROM INDIVIDUAL DUTY RATES(22) In consideration of the findings of the investigation as indicated in recital (13) above, it is concluded that the companies Maikesaier and Yuehai should be added to the list of individual companies mentioned under Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 with a duty rate of 0 %.(23) For the companies Norlong, XianXian, Yan Yuan and Loiselet, based on the findings of the investigation indicated in recitals (14) to (20) above, it is concluded that these four companies should be added to the list of individual companies mentioned under Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 with a duty rate of 28,6 %.(24) The company Wuxing, considering the findings of the investigation as indicated in recital (21) above, cannot be granted NEPT and should therefore remain subject to the residual duty of 47,8 % according to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005.(25) All the applicants and the community industry have been informed of the findings of the investigation and have had the opportunity to submit their comments. Following disclosure, comments were received from Norlong, XianXian and Loiselet. No additional information was brought forward permitting to lead to any different conclusions for any of the three companies,.

The Review Panel suggested a number of adjustments in order to ensure a more effective European Research Council and a coherent presentation of the ERC’s activities to stakeholders.(3) On the basis of the review and the ambition to make the ERC fully sustainable, the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament: ‘The European Research Council — meeting the challenge of world class excellence’ (4), sets out the aims for the second phase of the ERC’s development. It includes a number of specific actions to improve the ERC’s operations to ensure the effective and efficient implementation of the ‘Ideas’ Specific Programme.(4) In accordance with that Communication, it is necessary to ensure a single clear and transparent vision and seamless liaison between the ERC’s strategy and operational implementation, reflecting the activities of both the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA), established by Commission Decision 2008/37/EC (5) and the Scientific Council, and to develop and implement a coherent and integrated communication strategy.(5) In order to recognise the personal commitment of the members of the Scientific Council, and especially the Chairperson and Vice-Chairpersons, it is appropriate to introduce an honorarium for their attendance at the Scientific Council plenary meetings. The honorarium should reflect their responsibilities and be benchmarked against similar provisions in similar entities and Member States. It is also appropriate to provide for the financing of a standing Identification Committee for the identification of future Scientific Council members.(6) It is necessary to continue the arrangements for the local support to the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairpersons of the Scientific Council, using the ‘Coordination and Support Action’ grant funding scheme of the Seventh Framework Programme.(7) The term of office of the founding members of the Scientific Council expires on 1 February 2011 and there is a need for the staged renewal of the Scientific Council, as provided for in Article 4(6) of Decision 2007/134/EC. The identification of new members was carried out by means of an independent Identification Committee and in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(4) of Decision 2007/134/EC, including a report to Parliament and Council. This Committee made recommendations for the staged renewal of the Scientific Council and these recommendations have been accepted.(8) Decision 2007/134/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,.

37945,"2010/422/EU: Council Decision of 13 July 2010 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Bulgaria. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 126(6) in conjunction with Article 126(13) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Having regard to the observations made by Bulgaria,Whereas:(1) According to Article 126(1) of the Treaty, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 of the Treaty, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provision of the said Protocol.(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.(5) Article 126(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 126(3) and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 126(4), the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Bulgaria. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Bulgaria on 6 July 2010 (3).(6) Article 126(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Bulgaria, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.(7) According to the data notified by the Bulgarian authorities in April 2010, the general government deficit in Bulgaria reached 3,9 % of GDP in 2009, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. The deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value but the excess over the reference value can be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it results from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact, as the global economic and financial crisis hit hard the economy of Bulgaria and the negative annual GDP volume growth reached 5 % in 2009. According to the Commission services’ spring 2010 forecast, the general government deficit would fall below the reference value already in 2010 with the stabilisation of the economy and as a result of the fiscal consolidation measures undertaken by the government. However, on the basis of the revised deficit target for 2010 (3,8 % of GDP according to the notification of 22 June 2010 by the Bulgarian authorities), significantly above the Commission services’ spring forecast of 2,8 % of GDP, the breach of the reference value may not remain temporary. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.(8) According to the data notified by the Bulgarian authorities in April 2010, the general government gross debt remains well below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at 14,8 % of GDP in 2009. The Commission services’ spring 2010 forecast projects the debt ratio to increase over the 2010-2011 period, but to remain below 19 % of GDP. In a notification submitted on 22 June 2010, the Bulgarian authorities further revised the planned debt for 2010 to 15,3 % of GDP. The debt criterion in the Treaty is fulfilled.(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 126(6) if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Bulgaria, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,.

5035,"2010/621/EU: Council Decision of 8 October 2010 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement between the European Union and the Federative Republic of Brazil on short-stay visa waiver for holders of diplomatic, service or official passports. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 77(2)(a), in conjunction with Article 218(5) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Whereas:(1) In order to harmonise their visa policy with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001 listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement (1), some Member States granted visa waiver to the nationals of the Federative Republic of Brazil (‘Brazil’) prior to their accession to the Union, as Brazil figures on the list of third countries whose nationals are exempt from the visa requirement.(2) For constitutional reasons, Brazil cannot grant visa waiver to the Member States unilaterally; it is necessary to conclude a visa waiver agreement to be ratified by the Brazilian Parliament.(3) Brazil has bilateral visa waiver agreements with most of the Member States, concluded either prior to their accession to the Union or prior to the establishment of the common visa policy. However, there are still four Member States, with whom no bilateral visa waiver agreement was concluded in the past, therefore Brazil still requires a visa from the nationals of these Member States for short stays.(4) It stems from the nature of the common visa policy and the exclusive external competence of the Union in this area that only the Union can negotiate and conclude a visa waiver agreement, and not the individual Member States.(5) In view of the non-reciprocal treatment of Brazil towards certain Member States, the Council, by its Decision of 18 April 2008, authorised the Commission to negotiate an agreement between the Union and Brazil on short-stay visa waiver in order to ensure full reciprocal visa waiver.(6) Negotiations on the agreement were opened on 2 July 2008 and concluded on 19 November 2009.(7) Subject to its conclusion at a later date, the Agreement between the European Union and the Federative Republic of Brazil on short-stay visa waiver for holders of diplomatic, service or official passports initialled in Brussels on 28 April 2010, should be signed.(8) This Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (2); the United Kingdom is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.(9) This Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (3); Ireland is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application,. The signing of the Agreement between the European Union and the Federative Republic of Brazil on short-stay visa waiver for holders of diplomatic, service or official passports (‘the Agreement’) is hereby approved on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion (4). The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Agreement on behalf of the Union, subject to its conclusion.

31831,"Council Directive 2006/91/EC of 7 November 2006 on control of San José Scale (Codified version). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 94 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),Whereas:(1) Council Directive 69/466/EEC of 8 December 1969 on control of San José Scale (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.(2) The production of woody dicotyledonous plants and their fruit occupies an important place in Community agriculture.(3) The yield of that production is constantly threatened by harmful organisms.(4) Through the protection of such plants against such harmful organisms, not only should productive capacity be maintained but also agricultural productivity increased.(5) Protective measures to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms into individual Member States would have only a limited effect if such organisms were not controlled simultaneously and methodically throughout the Community and were not prevented from spreading.(6) One of the organisms most harmful to woody dicotyledonous plants is San José Scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comst.).(7) This pest has occurred in several Member States and there are contaminated areas within the Community.(8) There is a permanent risk to the cultivation of woody dicotyledonous plants throughout the Community if effective measures are not taken to control this pest and prevent it from spreading.(9) To eradicate this pest, minimum provisions should be adopted for the Community. Member States should be able to adopt additional or stricter provisions where necessary.(10) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the timelimits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B,. 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, the following definitions shall apply:(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. 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 shall be appropriately treated to control this pest and prevent it from spreading. The Member States shall provide that:(a) all contaminated plants in nurseries shall be destroyed;(b) all other plants which are contaminated or suspected of being contaminated and which are growing in a contaminated area shall 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. 1.   The Member States shall provide that in any batch of plants (other than those that are rooted in the ground) and of fresh fruit within which contamination has been found, the contaminated plants and fruit shall 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.2.   Paragraph 1 shall not apply to slightly contaminated batches of fresh fruit. 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 and 5, Article 7(1) and Article 9 for scientific and phytosanitary purposes, tests and selection work;(b) by way of derogation from point (b) of Article 5 and Article 7(1), the immediate processing of contaminated fresh fruit;(c) by way of derogation from point (b) of Article 5 and Article 7(1), the movement of contaminated fresh fruit within the contaminated area.2.   The Member States shall ensure that the authorisations provided for 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. 2Directive 69/466/EEC is hereby repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B.References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II. 3This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. 4This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

4690,"2008/838/EC: Commission Decision of 3 November 2008 concerning preventive vaccination against low pathogenic avian influenza in mallard ducks in Portugal and certain measures restricting the movements of such poultry and their products (notified under document number C(2008) 6348). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (1), and in particular Article 57(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 2005/94/EC sets out certain preventive measures relating to the surveillance and the early detection of avian influenza and increasing the level of the competent authorities’ and the farming community's awareness of, and preparation for, the risks of that disease.(2) Since September 2007, outbreaks of low pathogenic avian influenza have occurred in certain poultry holdings in the central-western part of Portugal, in particular in holdings that keep poultry intended for re-stocking supplies of game.(3) Portugal has taken measures in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC to control the spread of that disease.(4) A risk assessment carried out by Portugal identified that holdings keeping mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) intended for re-stocking supplies of game (mallard ducks) could pose a significant and immediate threat of spreading avian influenza within Portugal or into other Member States. Portugal decided therefore to introduce emergency vaccination in order to contain the outbreak.(5) Commission Decision 2008/285/EC (2) approved the emergency vaccination plan submitted by Portugal. That Decision also provided for certain measures to be applied in a holding where vaccinated mallard ducks are kept and in unvaccinated poultry holdings, including movement restrictions on vaccinated mallard ducks, their hatching eggs and mallard ducks hatched from such eggs in accordance with the approved vaccination plan.(6) The implementation of the emergency vaccination plan applied by Portugal has been completed by 31 July 2008.(7) In accordance with Article 8 of Decision 2008/285/EC, Portugal has submitted a report on the implementation of the emergency vaccination plan and has reported to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.(8) On the basis of the information provided by Portugal, it appears that the outbreak has been successfully contained.(9) Based on a further risk assessment, Portugal deems that on the holding the high value mallard breeding ducks are still exposed to the potential risk of avian influenza infection, in particular by possible indirect contact with wild birds. Portugal has therefore decided to continue vaccination against avian influenza as a long-term measure by implementing a preventive vaccination plan on the holding at risk in the region of Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, Ribatejo Norte, Vila Nova da Barquinha that keeps such mallard ducks.(10) Portugal has by letter dated 10 September 2008 submitted a preventive vaccination plan to the Commission for approval.(11) According to that preventive vaccination plan, Portugal intends to introduce preventive vaccination which is to be applied until 31 July 2009.(12) In its scientific opinions on the use of vaccination to control avian influenza issued by the European Food Safety Authority in 2005 (3), 2007 (4) and 2008 (5), the Animal Health and Welfare Panel stated that emergency and preventive vaccination against avian influenza is a valuable tool to complement the control measures for that disease.(13) In addition, the Commission has examined the preventive vaccination plan submitted by Portugal, and is satisfied that it conforms with relevant Community legislation. In view of the epidemiological situation as regards low pathogenic avian influenza in Portugal, the type of holding to be vaccinated and the limited scope of the vaccination plan, it is appropriate to approve that preventive vaccination plan. The implementation of that preventive vaccination plan will also provide with further practical experience and knowledge on the efficacy of vaccine in mallard ducks.(14) For the purposes of the preventive vaccination plan to be carried out by Portugal, only vaccines authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (6) or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency (7) should be used.(15) In addition, surveillance and laboratory testing in the holding keeping the vaccinated mallard ducks and in unvaccinated poultry holdings should be carried out as set out in the preventive vaccination plan.(16) It is also appropriate to introduce certain restrictions on the movement of vaccinated mallard ducks, their hatching eggs and mallard ducks derived from vaccinated poultry in accordance with the preventive vaccination plan. Due to the small number of mallard ducks present on the holding where preventive vaccination is to be carried out, as well as for reasons of traceability and logistics, vaccinated birds should not be moved from that holding.(17) In relation to trade in poultry intended for restocking supplies of game, additional measures have been taken by Portugal pursuant to Commission Decision 2006/605/EC of 6 September 2006 on certain protection measures in relation to intra-Community trade in poultry intended for restocking of wild game supplies (8).(18) In order to reduce the economic impact on the holding concerned, certain derogations from movement restrictions for mallard ducks derived from vaccinated mallard ducks should be provided for, since such movements do not pose a specific risk for spread of disease and provided that official surveillance is carried out and that the specific animal health requirements for intra-Community trade are complied with.(19) The preventive vaccination plan should be approved so that it can be implemented until 31 July 2009.(20) Decision 2008/285/EC should be repealed as it has become obsolete after 31 July 2008.(21) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Subject matter and scope1.   This Decision lays down certain measures to be applied in Portugal where preventive vaccination of mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) intended for re-stocking supplies of game (mallard ducks) is carried out in a holding, which is exposed to the risk of avian influenza.

39841,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2011 of 2 May 2011 amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as regards the entry for Israel in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1) and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8 and point 4 of Article 8 thereof,Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1) and 24(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (3) provides that the commodities covered by it are only to be imported into and transited through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, where an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) occurs in a third country, territory, zone or compartment previously free of that disease, that third country, territory, zone or compartment is to again be considered as free of HPAI, provided that certain conditions are met. Those conditions concern the implementation of a stamping out policy to control the disease, including adequate cleansing and disinfection carried out on all previously infected establishments. In addition, avian influenza surveillance must have been carried out in accordance with Part II of Annex IV to that Regulation during a three-month period following completion of the stamping out policy and cleansing and disinfection.(3) Israel is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which all poultry commodities covered by that Regulation may be imported into the Union. Following a HPAI outbreak in early 2010 imports of certain commodities from Israel to the Union were restricted to defined parts of its territory by that Regulation, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 332/2010 (4). The area from which imports of certain commodities were prohibited is described in column 3 with the code IL-2 in the entry for Israel in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 and applied until 1 May 2010. However, the prohibition of imports of certain poultry commodities from IL-2 in relation to that outbreak should continue for commodities produced before that date.(4) In addition, on 8 March 2011 Israel has notified the Commission of an outbreak of HPAI of the H5N1 subtype on its territory.(5) Due to the confirmed outbreak of HPAI, the territory of Israel may no longer be considered as free from that disease. As a consequence, the veterinary authorities of Israel have suspended issuing veterinary certificates for consignments of certain poultry commodities accordingly.(6) Israel has submitted information to the Commission on the control measures taken in relation to the recent outbreak of the disease. That information and the epidemiological situation in Israel have been evaluated by the Commission.(7) Israel has implemented a stamping out policy in order to control the disease and limit its spread. The prompt and decisive action taken by Israel to confine the disease and the positive outcome of the evaluation of the epidemiological situation allow limiting the restrictions on imports into the Union for certain poultry commodities to the zone affected by the disease, which the veterinary authorities of Israel have placed under restrictions.(8) In addition, Israel is carrying out surveillance activities for avian influenza which appear to meet the requirements laid down in Part II of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.(9) Taking into account the favourable development of the epidemiological situation and the surveillance activities for avian influenza in resolving the outbreak in accordance with the conditions set out in Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, it is appropriate to limit the time period during which the authorisation for imports into the Union is suspended to a three-month period until 14 June 2011 following adequate cleansing and disinfection of the previously infected holding.(10) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. In Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, the entry for Israel is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

31738,"Decision No 895/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of  14 June 2006  introducing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia of certain documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purposes of transit through their territories. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 62(2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 3(1) of the 2003 Act of Accession, the Member States which acceded to the Union on 1 May 2004 are required from that date to subject to a visa obligation nationals of the third countries listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001 listing third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those nationals who are exempt from that requirement (2).(2) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession, the provisions of the Schengen acquis on the conditions and criteria for issuing short-term uniform visas, as well as the provisions on mutual recognition of visas and on the equivalence between residence permits and visas, only apply in the new Member States after adoption of a Council decision to that effect. However, they are binding on those Member States from the date of accession.(3) New Member States are therefore required to issue national visas for entry or transit through their territory to third-country nationals holding a uniform visa or long-stay visa or residence permit issued by a Member State fully implementing the Schengen acquis or a similar document issued by other new Member States.(4) The holders of documents issued by Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis and new Member States, do not represent any risk for the new Member States as they have been subject to all necessary controls by other Member States. In order to avoid imposing unjustified additional administrative burdens on the new Member States, common rules should be adopted authorising the new Member States unilaterally to recognise those documents as equivalent to their national visas and to establish a simplified regime for the controls of persons at the external borders based on that unilateral equivalence.(5) The common rules should apply for a transitional period, until the date to be determined in a Council decision as referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession.(6) The recognition of a document should be limited to the purpose of transit through the territory of one or more new Member States and should not affect the possibility of new Member States to issue national visas for a short-term stay. Participation in the common system should be optional and should not entail the imposition of additional obligations on the new Member States as defined by the 2003 Act of Accession.(7) The common rules should apply to short-term uniform visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis and to short-term visas, long-term visas and residence permits issued by other new Member States.(8) The entry conditions laid down in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (3) have to be fulfilled, with the exception of the condition laid down in Article 5(1)(b) thereof, insofar as this Decision sets up a regime of unilateral recognition by new Member States of certain documents issued by Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis and similar documents issued by other new Member States for the purpose of transit.(9) Since the objective of this Decision, namely the introduction of a regime of unilateral recognition by new Member States of certain documents issued by other Member States for the purpose of transit, cannot be achieved sufficiently by Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of this Decision, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve this objective.(10) This Decision does not constitute a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning those two States' association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis, as it is addressed only to Member States that do not yet fully implement the Schengen acquis. However, for the coherence and proper functioning of the Schengen system, this Decision also covers visas and residence permits issued by third countries associated with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis and fully implementing the Schengen acquis, such as Iceland and Norway.(11) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the Position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, those Member States are not taking part in the adoption of this Decision.(12) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the Position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision,. This Decision introduces a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders whereby the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as the new Member States) may recognise unilaterally as equivalent to their national visas for the purpose of transit the documents referred to in Article 2(1) and those referred to in Article 3 issued by other new Member States to third-country nationals subject to a visa obligation pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 539/2001.The implementation of this Decision shall not affect the checks to be carried out on persons at the external borders in compliance with Articles 5 to 13 and 18 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006. 1.   A new Member State may consider as equivalent to its national visa, for the purpose of transit, the following documents, irrespective of the nationality of the holders:(i) a ‘uniform visa’ as referred to in Article 10 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement;(ii) a ‘long-stay visa’ as referred to in Article 18 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement;(iii) a ‘residence permit’ as included in Annex IV to the Common Consular Instructions.2.   If a new Member State decides to apply this Decision, it shall recognise all the documents referred to in paragraph 1, regardless of which State issued the document. Any new Member State that applies Article 2 may, in addition, recognise national short-term visas, long-term visas and resident permits issued by one or more other new Member States as equivalent to its national visa for the purpose of transit.The documents issued by new Member States which may be recognised pursuant to this Decision are listed in the Annex. New Member States may only recognise documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purpose of transit, if the duration of the transit by the third-country national through the territory of the new Member State(s) does not exceed five days.The period of validity of the documents referred to in Articles 2 and 3 shall cover the duration of the transit. Any new Member State that decides to apply this Decision shall notify the Commission thereof by 1 August 2006.The Commission shall publish the information communicated by the new Member States in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply until the date to be determined by the Council decision adopted pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession. This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia..

It also shows that the amount of State aid for restructuring purposes as specified in the plan is strictly limited to what is necessary to allow the company concerned to reach viability and will be progressively reduced and stopped by 2005. The assessment provides also that a global rationalisation and reduction of excess capacity of the beneficiary company will be reached. The assessment therefore concludes that the restructuring programme and the business plan meet the requirements of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 of the Europe Agreement,. The restructuring programme and business plan submitted to the Commission by Bulgaria pursuant to Article 2 of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part, with regard to an extension of the period laid down in Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 to the Europe Agreement, are in compliance with the requirements of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2. The period during which Bulgaria may exceptionally, as regards steel products, grant public aid for restructuring purposes in accordance with the provisions of Article 9(4) of Protocol 2 is hereby extended by an additional period of eight years starting on 1 January 1998 or until the date of Bulgaria's accession to the European Union, whichever comes first, as foreseen by Article 1 of the Additional Protocol..

4652,"2008/285/EC: Commission Decision of 19 March 2008 concerning emergency vaccination against low pathogenic avian influenza in mallard ducks in Portugal and certain measures restricting the movements of such poultry and their products (notified under document number C(2008) 1077). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (1), and in particular Article 54(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 2005/94/EC sets out the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry or other captive birds.(2) Since September 2007, outbreaks of low pathogenic avian influenza have occurred in certain poultry holdings in the central-western part of Portugal, in particular in holdings that keep poultry intended for re-stocking supplies of game. Portugal has taken measures in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC to control the spread of that disease.(3) Portugal has carried out a risk assessment and identified that holdings keeping mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) intended for re-stocking supplies of game (mallard ducks), are at an increased risk of infection from avian influenza viruses, in particular by contact with wild birds and that a significant and immediate threat of spread of avian influenza exists.(4) Early detection systems and biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of avian influenza to poultry flocks are in place in Portugal in the areas that have been defined by that Member State as high risk areas pursuant to Commission Decision 2005/734/EC of 19 October 2005 laying down biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and providing for an early detection system in areas at particular risk (2).(5) In relation to trade in poultry intended for re-stocking supplies of game, additional measures have been taken by Portugal pursuant to Commission Decision 2006/605/EC of 6 September 2006 on certain protection measures in relation to intra-Community trade in poultry intended for re-stocking of wild game supplies (3).(6) Portugal has by letter dated 25 January 2008, submitted an emergency vaccination plan to the Commission for approval and a revised version of that plan was submitted on 31 January 2008.(7) According to that emergency vaccination plan, Portugal intends to introduce emergency vaccination on one holding in the region of Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, Ribatejo Norte, Vila Nova da Barquinha keeping valuable breeding mallard ducks and using a bivalent vaccine directed against avian influenza virus of subtypes H7 and H5 which is to be applied until 31 July 2008.(8) In its scientific opinions on the use of vaccination to control avian influenza issued by the European Food Safety Authority in 2005 (4) and 2007 (5), the Animal Health and Welfare Panel stated that emergency and preventive vaccination against avian influenza is a valuable tool to complement the control measures for that disease.(9) In addition, the Commission has examined the emergency vaccination plan submitted by Portugal, together with the Portuguese authorities, and after its amendment is satisfied that it conforms with relevant Community legislation. In view of the epidemiological situation as regards low pathogenic avian influenza in Portugal, the type of holding to be vaccinated and the limited scope of the vaccination plan, it is appropriate to approve the emergency vaccination plan submitted by Portugal to supplement the control measures already taken by that Member State.(10) For the purposes of the emergency vaccination to be carried out by Portugal, only vaccines authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (6) or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency (7) should be used.(11) In addition, surveillance and monitoring in the holding keeping the vaccinated mallard ducks and in unvaccinated poultry holdings, as set out in the emergency vaccination plan, should be carried out.(12) It is also appropriate to introduce certain restrictions on the movement of vaccinated mallard ducks, their hatching eggs and mallard ducks derived from vaccinated poultry. Due to the small number of mallard ducks present on the holding where emergency vaccination is to be carried out, as well as for reasons of traceability and logistics, vaccinated birds should not be moved from that holding.(13) In order to reduce the economic impact on the holding concerned certain derogations from movement restrictions for mallard ducks derived from vaccinated mallard ducks should be provided for, since such movements do not pose a specific risk for spread of disease and provided that surveillance and monitoring measures are carried out and that the specific animal health requirements for intra-Community trade are complied with.(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Subject matter and scope1.   This Decision lays down certain measures to be applied in Portugal where emergency vaccination of mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) intended for re-stocking supplies of game (mallard ducks) is carried out in a holding, which is at particular risk for introduction of avian influenza. Those measures include certain restrictions on the movement within and dispatch from Portugal of the vaccinated mallard ducks, their hatching eggs and mallard ducks derived thereof.2.   This Decision shall apply without prejudice to the protection measures to be taken by Portugal in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC and Decision 2006/605/EC. Approval of the emergency vaccination plan1.   The plan for emergency vaccination against low pathogenic avian influenza in Portugal, as submitted by Portugal to the Commission on 25 January 2008, in its revised version submitted on 31 January 2008, to be implemented on a holding in the region of Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, Ribatejo Norte, Vila Nova da Barquinha until 31 July 2008 (the emergency vaccination plan) is approved.2.   The Commission shall publish the emergency vaccination plan. Conditions for implementing the emergency vaccination plan1.   Portugal shall ensure that the mallard ducks are vaccinated in accordance with the emergency vaccination plan with a bivalent inactivated heterologous vaccine containing both avian influenza subtypes H5 and H7 authorised by that Member State in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004.2.   Portugal shall ensure that surveillance and monitoring of the holding keeping the vaccinated mallard ducks and in unvaccinated poultry holdings, as set out in the emergency vaccination plan, is carried out.3.   Portugal shall ensure that the emergency vaccination plan is implemented efficiently. Marking and restrictions on the movement and dispatch and disposal of vaccinated mallard ducksThe competent authority shall ensure that vaccinated mallard ducks on the holding referred to in Article 2(1) are:(a) marked individually;(b) not moved to other poultry holdings within Portugal or dispatched to other Member States.After their reproductive period, such ducks shall be killed humanely on the holding referred to in Article 2(1) and their carcases safely disposed of. Restrictions on the movement and dispatch of hatching eggs originating from the holding referred to in Article 2(1)The competent authority shall ensure that hatching eggs originating from mallard ducks on the holding referred to in Article 2(1) may only be moved to a hatchery within Portugal and not dispatched to other Member States. Restrictions on the movement and dispatch of mallard ducks derived from vaccinated mallard ducks1.   The competent authority shall ensure that mallard ducks derived from vaccinated mallard ducks may only be moved after hatching to a holding located in the monitoring area established in Portugal around the holding referred to in Article 2(1), as set out in the emergency vaccination plan.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1 and provided that the mallard ducks derived from vaccinated mallard ducks are more than four month old, they may be:(a) released into the wild in Portugal; or(b) dispatched to other Member States provided that:(i) the results of the surveillance and monitoring measures set out in the emergency vaccination plan, including laboratory tests, are favourable; and(ii) the conditions for dispatch of poultry for re-stocking supplies of wild game laid down in Decision 2006/605/EC are met. Health certification for intra-Community trade in mallard ducks derived from vaccinated mallard ducksPortugal shall ensure that health certificates for intra-Community trade in poultry intended for re-stocking supplies of game referred to in Article 6(2)(b) include the following sentence:‘The animal health conditions of this consignment are in accordance with Decision 2008/285/EC’. ReportsPortugal shall submit to the Commission a report on the implementation of the emergency vaccination plan within one month from the date of application of this Decision and give quarterly reports at the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health thereafter.

The plan should lay down in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.(2) The Member States involved in the plan for the 2009 budget year have supplied the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92.(3) For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of experience and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years.(4) Point 1(c) of Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides for the allocation of resources for the purchase on the market of products temporarily unavailable in intervention stocks. The stocks of cereals suitable for human consumption currently held by the intervention agencies are very low and measures have already been taken, regarding their sale on the market. Moreover, no stock of rice and skimmed milk powder is at present held by the intervention agencies and no offers of these agricultural commodities into intervention are foreseen for 2008. Therefore, resource allocations should be fixed to enable the purchase on the market of cereals, skimmed milk powder and rice as required to implement the plan for the 2009 budget year.(5) Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides for the transfer between Member States of products unavailable in the intervention stocks of the Member State in which such products are required to implement the annual plan. Accordingly the intra-Community transfers necessary to implement the plan for 2009 should be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92.(6) To implement the plan, the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 should be the date on which the financial year for administration of stocks in public storage starts.(7) In accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the Commission has consulted the major organisations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Community when drawing up the plan.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. In 2009, the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Community under Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be implemented in accordance with the annual distribution plan set out in Annex I to this Regulation. Allocations to Member States for the purchase of cereals, skimmed milk powder and rice on the market, as required under the plan referred to in Article 1, shall be as set out in Annex II.

34143,"Council Regulation (EC) No 451/2007 of 23 April 2007 terminating the partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts 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) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   PROCEDURE1.   Measures in force(1) Following an investigation (‘the original investigation’), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’).2.   Ex officio initiation of a review(2) On the basis of information at the Commission’s disposal following certain changes after the original investigation in the structure of one Chinese exporting producer which was not granted market economy treatment in that investigation, namely Ningbo Ruyi Joint Stock Co., Ltd. (‘Ningbo Ruyi’), it appeared that market economy conditions prevailed for this company. In effect, there was sufficient prima facie evidence suggesting that Ningbo Ruyi fulfilled the criteria of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation. In this context, the circumstances on the basis of which the existing measures were established were considered to have changed and these changes seemed to be of a lasting nature.(3) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Commission published a notice (‘notice of initiation’) (3) and commenced an investigation on its own initiative, limited in scope to determine whether Ningbo Ruyi operates under market economy conditions and, if so, to determine whether its individual dumping margin and duty rate should be based on its own costs/domestic prices.3.   Parties concerned by the investigation(4) The Commission officially advised Ningbo Ruyi and its related importer Jungheinrich AG, as well as the representatives of the exporting country and the Community industry of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.(5) The Commission also sent a claim form for market economy treatment (‘MET’) and a questionnaire to Ningbo Ruyi and received replies within the deadlines set for that purpose. The Commission sought all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of MET and dumping, analysed the information provided and carried out verification visits at the premises of the related companies:— Ningbo Ruyi Joint Stock Co., Ltd, Ninghai,— Ruyi Industries (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (‘Ruyi Hong Kong’), Hangzhou,— Jungheinrich Lift Trucks (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (‘Jungheinrich Shanghai’), Shanghai.4.   Review investigation period(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006 (‘review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).B.   PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT1.   Product concerned(7) The definition of the product concerned corresponds to the one that was used in the original investigation mentioned under recital (1). The product concerned is hand pallet trucks (‘HPT’), not self-propelled, used for the handling of materials normally placed on pallets, and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, originating in the PRC, currently classifiable within CN codes ex 8427 90 00 and ex 8431 20 00 (TARIC codes 8427900010 and 8431200010).2.   Like product(8) The current review has shown that the HPT produced in the PRC by Ningbo Ruyi and sold on the Chinese market have the same basic physical characteristics and the same uses as those exported to the Community. Therefore, these products are considered to be a like product within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.C.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION(9) Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of the said Article for those producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, i.e. where it is shown that market economy conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product. These criteria are set out in a summarised form below:— business decisions are made in response to market signals, without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values,— firms have one clear set of basic accounting records which are independently audited in line with international accounting standards (‘IAS’) and are applied for all purposes,— no distortions carried over from the non-market economy system,— bankruptcy and property laws guarantee stability and legal certainty,— exchange rate conversions are carried out at market rates.(10) Ningbo Ruyi requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation. It is the Community’s consistent practice to examine whether a group of related companies involved in the production and/or sale of the product concerned as a whole fulfils the conditions for MET. According to Ningbo Ruyi, there was only one such related company in the PRC — Jungheinrich Shanghai. Ningbo Ruyi replied to the MET claim form within the given deadline.(11) In the course of the investigation, the Community industry claimed that there seemed to be various companies related to Ningbo Ruyi which were not duly disclosed by the company in the information submitted to the Commission, including in the audited financial statements. According to the Community industry, the non-disclosure of related companies in financial statements is a breach of IAS 24 (Related Party Disclosures) and it requested the Commission to verify this issue.(12) It was found during the verification visits that there were related companies which were not disclosed in the audited financial statements (breach of IAS 24) or in the replies to the MET claim form and to the questionnaire. In this respect, it is worth noting that both the MET claim form and the questionnaire requested Ningbo Ruyi to describe its worldwide corporate structure and affiliations, including parent companies, subsidiaries or other related companies, whether or not involved in the production and/or sale of the product concerned. Furthermore, Ningbo Ruyi was requested to submit a MET claim form for each subsidiary or other related company in the PRC which was a producer and/or exporter of HPT and to provide details about all other related companies.(13) According to Ningbo Ruyi’s Auditor’s Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 (‘Report 2005’) and the replies to the MET form and the questionnaire, Ningbo Ruyi only had three related companies in the RIP: Jungheinrich AG, Jungheinrich Shanghai and Ruyi Hong Kong. The investigation, however, showed that the Chinese shareholders of Ningbo Ruyi have also controlling shareholdings in Ningbo CFA Co., Ltd. (‘Ningbo CFA’) and Ningbo Free Trade Zone Ruyi International Trading Co., Ltd. (‘NFTZ’).(14) There are also other companies owned by relatives of the Chinese shareholders of Ningbo Ruyi: CFA Tools Co., Ltd. (‘CFA Tools’), a company incorporated in Hong Kong, and Zhejiang Tianyou Import & Export Co., Ltd. (‘Tianyou’).(15) All the abovementioned companies not disclosed by Ningbo Ruyi are thus related to Ningbo Ruyi for the purposes of the current review. Three of them were traders of HPT in the RIP and all have a business licence allowing them to trade HPT. They seem to have exported mainly to countries outside the Community. At least three quarters of the sales volumes reported by Ningbo Ruyi as domestic sales were in fact export sales channelled through non-disclosed domestic related customers and unrelated customers.(16) Finally, the nature of the transactions between Ningbo Ruyi and Ningbo Jinmao Import & Export Co., Ltd. (‘Ningbo Jinmao’), which was reported as a related company in the original investigation (Ningbo Ruyi sold its shareholding in November 2003), is an indication that the two companies still have close links in the HPT business. Ningbo Jinmao bought more than half of the HPT reported by Ningbo Ruyi as domestic sales in the RIP and then resold a significant quantity to NFTZ, which exported them. NFTZ did not buy any HPT directly from Ningbo Ruyi. The fact that Ningbo Jinmao is one of Ningbo Ruyi’s main customers and sells a large quantity of its purchases to NFTZ shows that Ningbo Ruyi knew or should have known that most sales to Ningbo Jinmao could not be domestic sales as NFTZ, a related company, was exporting the products bought by Ningbo Jinmao.(17) Some time after the on-the-spot verification visit, Ningbo Ruyi submitted some new information concerning the MET status of certain of these non-disclosed related companies arguing that a MET determination for the whole group could still be made. This was on the grounds that the non-disclosure was not intentional and because the involvement of these related parties with sales of the product under investigation was not significant. For the same reasons, Ningbo Ruyi’s partner, Jungheinrich AG, also argued that this new information should be considered and MET granted.(18) Whether or not there was any intent to impede the investigation by the timely non-disclosure of related parties, the fact is that questionnaire responses were substantially incomplete to a degree which made it impossible to verify the existence or otherwise of market economy conditions for the Ningbo Ruyi group during the verification visits which were carried out in the PRC. With no verification visits possible at the premises of the non-disclosed related parties, the extent to which the Ningbo Ruyi group was involved with HPT can only remain a matter of conjecture.(19) In any event, Ningbo Ruyi’s failure to disclose in its financial statements all its related parties is a breach of IAS 24. The objective of IAS 24 is to ensure that an entity’s financial statements contain the disclosures necessary to draw attention to the possibility that its financial position and profit or loss may have been affected by the existence of related parties and by transactions and outstanding balances with such parties. In the framework of an anti-dumping investigation, such disclosure is necessary to allow the institutions to examine whether a group of related companies as a whole fulfils the conditions for MET.(20) The breach of IAS 24 shows that the audit of Ningbo Ruyi’s financial statements was not carried out in accordance with IAS and casts doubts on the reliability of Ningbo Ruyi’s accounts. This would lead to the failure of Ningbo Ruyi to meet the second criterion laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.(21) Although the provisions of Article 18 of the basic Regulation concerning non-cooperation could apply in this review, it is noted that the Commission initiated this review on its own initiative because it had prima facie evidence that market economy conditions prevailed for Ningbo Ruyi, something that Ningbo Ruyi subsequently failed to demonstrate. Consequently, it is considered that there is no need to invoke Article 18 of the basic Regulation, but suffices to terminate the review and maintain the existing measure in force.D.   TERMINATION OF THE REVIEW(22) In the light of the results of the investigation, the review should be terminated without amending the level of the duty applicable to Ningbo Ruyi, which should be maintained at the level of the definitive anti-dumping duty rate established in the original investigation, i.e. 28,5 %.E.   DISCLOSURE(23) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to terminate the present review and to maintain the existing anti-dumping duty on imports of HPT produced by Ningbo Ruyi. All parties were given an opportunity to comment. The comments received were not of a nature to change the conclusions.(24) Following disclosure, the Community industry claimed that the non-cooperation provisions of the basic Regulation (Article 18) should be applied and Ningbo Ruyi should be penalised with the 46,7 % residual duty as a non-cooperating exporting producer.(25) Jungheinrich AG and Ningbo Ruyi considered that Ningbo Ruyi’s failure to disclose all its related companies was minor and unintentional and had no impact on Ningbo Ruyi’s financial situation. Therefore, Ningbo Ruyi should be granted MET or at least a revised lower individual duty rate.(26) The failure to disclose all related companies, in particular since three out of the four non-disclosed related companies were involved in HPT business and the other one has a business licence that allows it to trade HPT, cannot be considered minor because it did not allow a determination of whether it has been shown that all MET criteria are met (and not only the second criterion concerning accounting) for all companies, in line with the Community’s standard practice. Furthermore, whether the failure to disclose all these related companies was unintentional is irrelevant. The uncontested fact is that these related companies were not even disclosed in the financial statements of Ningbo Ruyi and this by itself showed that at least the second criterion of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation was not met. Consequently, the claim that the failure to disclose these related companies was minor, unintentional and without any impact cannot be accepted.(27) Finally, as set out in recital (3), this review is limited in scope to determine whether Ningbo Ruyi operates under market economy conditions and, only if MET had been granted to Ningbo Ruyi, would a new dumping margin be calculated. Thus, since MET is not granted, no new dumping margin, higher or lower than the existing one, can be established for Ningbo Ruyi through this review.(28) This review should therefore be terminated without any amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005,. The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China, initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, is hereby terminated without amending the anti-dumping measures in force.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

38426,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 389/2010 of 6 May 2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004, as regards the management of fishing fleets in certain French outermost regions. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (1), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 4(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 (2) lays down detailed implementing rules for Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions.(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1274/2007 (3) reviewed the reference levels for the fleets in Outermost Regions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004, following the statement made jointly by the Council and the Commission during the Fisheries Council of 27 July 2006 (4).(3) In the case of certain fleet segments of the French outermost regions, Regulation (EC) No 1274/2007 sought the regularisation of an important number of vessels which carried out fishing activities before 31 December 2006 and were active without having been entered in the EU Fleet Register. These regularisations were considered as an extension of the development plans that had been presented for the outermost regions concerned.(4) A more recent and comprehensive inventory of the small-scale fleets operating in the most remote areas of the French outermost regions of Guyana and Martinique made by the French authorities has shown that the number of vessels requiring regularisation was underestimated at the time of the above-mentioned review of the reference levels. France has requested that a new regularisation be done for the unaccounted vessels as part of the development plans presented in 2007 for Guyana and Martinique.(5) The fleet segments concerned by the request for increase in reference level target their activities on coastal fish resources which, according to the most recent scientific information, do not show conservation concerns.(6) In order to contribute to the sustainable development of the fisheries sector in outermost regions, it is therefore appropriate to consider the need for regularisation of the concerned vessels in the framework of the development plans concerned and to increase the corresponding reference levels in order to allow the registration of these vessels in the EU Fleet Register.(7) Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

42089,"2013/493/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 30 September 2013 determining the third and last set of regions for the start of operations of the Visa Information System (VIS) (notified under document C(2013) 5914). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 concerning the Visa Information System (VIS) and the exchange of data between Member States on short-stay visas (VIS Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 48(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 provides for a progressive implementation of the VIS operations. The Commission in its Decision 2010/49/EC (2) and its Implementing Decision 2012/274/EU (3) determined respectively the first and second set of regions for the start of operations of the VIS. It is now necessary to determine the third and last set of regions where the data to be processed in the VIS, including photographs and fingerprint data, shall be collected and transmitted to the VIS for all visa applications in the region concerned.(2) Article 48(4) of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 provides for the determination of the sequence of the regions for the VIS deployment based on the following criteria: the risk of irregular immigration, threats to the internal security of the Member States and the feasibility of collecting biometrics from all locations in the region concerned.(3) The Commission has made an assessment of the regions not covered by Decision 2010/49/EC and Implementing Decision 2012/274/EU in light of these three criteria taking into account, for the first criterion, elements such as the average visa refusal rates, the entry refusal rates and the rates of third country nationals detected as irregularly present in the territory of the Member States; for the second criterion, a threat assessment performed by Europol; and for the third criterion, the fact that some of the regions to be covered comprised third countries with vast territories or corresponding to very high numbers of visa applicants.(4) The starting date of the operations in each of the regions defined by the present Decision is to be determined by the Commission pursuant to Article 48(3) of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008.(5) Given that the VIS Regulation builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark notified the implementation of the VIS Regulation in its national law in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmarkannexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community. Denmarkis therefore bound under international law to implement this Decision.(6) This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdomdoes not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (4). The United Kingdom is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application.(7) This Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (5). Ireland is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application.(8) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters’ association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (6), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (7) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement.(9) As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (8), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (9).(10) As regards Liechtenstein, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis, which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2011/350/EU (10).(11) As regards Cyprus, this Decision constitutes an act building upon, or otherwise related to, the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession.(12) As regards Bulgaria and Romania, this Decision constitutes an act building upon or otherwise related to the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession.(13) As regards Croatia, this Decision constitutes an act building upon, or otherwise related to, the Schengen acquis within the meaning of Article 4(2) of the 2011 Act of Accession,(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 51(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (11),.

35495,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2008 of 24 January 2008 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 327/98 as regards the breakdown into sub-periods for 2008 of an import tariff quota for wholly milled and semi-milled rice. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV.6 negotiations (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3) provides for a division into sub-periods of the quotas referred to in Article 1 thereof to spread out imports of rice over the year.(2) Due to disturbances in the flows of imports into the Community of rice originating in the United States of America in 2006 and 2007, following the appearance on the American market of rice contaminated with genetically modified rice, known as ‘LL RICE 601’, the quota of 38 721 tonnes of wholly milled or semi-milled rice originating in that country covered by the overall import quota of 63 000 tonnes of wholly milled or semi-milled rice under Regulation (EC) No 327/98 could not be used in full in 2007 for imports of rice originating in the USA.(3) Since the USA is a regular supplier of rice to the Community, normal import flows of rice originating in that country should be restored as quickly as possible. To that end, the division into sub-periods for 2008 of the overall import quota of 63 000 tonnes of wholly milled and semi-milled rice should be amended by providing for an additional sub-period for the month of February for the quota of rice originating in the USA. Out of that quota, a quantity sufficient to attain the objective referred to above should be transferred from the April and July 2008 sub-periods to the February 2008 sub-period, without disturbing the situation on the Community market or imports from other countries of origin, and within the limit of the total annual quantity of 38 721 tonnes laid down for this quota.(4) Due to the abovementioned disturbances to imports, it was not possible to use certain export licences in 2007. Those licences should therefore not be prevented from being used in 2008.(5) A derogation from Regulation (EC) No 327/98 should therefore be introduced for 2008.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,. 1.   For 2008, the quantity of 38 721 tonnes of wholly milled or semi-milled rice falling within CN code 1006 30, covered by the quota with serial No 09.4127, originating in the United States of America and listed in point (a) of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 327/98, shall be broken down as laid down in the Annex hereto.2.   The export licences referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 issued by the third countries referred to in that Article in 2007 may be used for applications for import licences submitted for the 2008 quota year. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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..

33542,"2007/481/EC: Commission Decision of 25 June 2007 on the compatibility with Community law of measures taken by Finland pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Council Directive 89/552/EEC on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 89/552/EEC of 3 October 1989 on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities (1), and in particular Article 3a(2) thereof,Having regard to the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 23a of Directive 89/552/EEC,Whereas:(1) By letter of 22 September 2006, received by the Commission on 2 October 2006, Finland notified to the Commission measures to be taken pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC.(2) The Commission verified, within a period of three months from this notification, that such measures are compatible with Community law, in particular as regards the proportionality of the measures and the transparency of the national consultation procedure.(3) In its examination, the Commission took into consideration the available data on the Finnish media landscape.(4) The list of events of major importance for society included in the Finnish measures was drawn up in a clear and transparent manner and a far-reaching consultation had been launched in Finland.(5) The Commission was satisfied that the events listed in the Finnish measures met at least two of the following criteria considered to be reliable indicators of the importance of events for society: (i) a special general resonance within the Member State and not simply a significance to those who ordinarily follow the sport or activity concerned; (ii) a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the population in the Member State, in particular as a catalyst of cultural identity; (iii) involvement of the national team in the event concerned in the context of a competition or tournament of international importance; and (iv) the fact that the event has traditionally been broadcast on free television and has commanded large television audiences.(6) A number of the events listed in the Finnish measures, including the summer and winter Olympic Games, the opening match, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the World Cup as well as the matches of the Finnish team in that tournament, fall within the category of events traditionally considered of major importance for society, as referred to explicitly in recital 18 of Directive 97/36/EC. These events have a special general resonance in Finland, as they are particularly popular with the general public, not just with those who usually follow sport events.(7) The men’s Ice Hockey World Championships, organised by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), have a special general resonance, as ice hockey is played actively by the Finnish people, and a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Finnish population in view of the great success of the Finnish team in this international tournament. Because of their specific organisation, the Ice Hockey World Championships should be treated as a single event in which matches between other countries also affect the position of teams against which Finland must or may play and the overall result.(8) The Nordic World Ski Championships (cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined), organised by the International Ski Federation (FIS), have a special general resonance and a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Finnish population as a catalyst of cultural identity, as Nordic skiing enjoys the status of a national sport in Finland.(9) The listed athletics events, namely the World Championships in Athletics, organised by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and the European Athletics Championships, organised by the European Athletics Association (EAA), have a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Finnish population as a catalyst of cultural identity, as the top Finnish athletes representing Finland internationally in a wide range of individual disciplines are among the world elite in their specialities.(10) The listed events have traditionally been broadcast on free television and have commanded large television audiences.(11) The Finnish measures appear proportionate so as to justify a derogation from the fundamental EC Treaty freedom to provide services on the basis of an overriding reason of public interest, which is to ensure wide public access to broadcasts of events of major importance for society.(12) The Finnish measures are compatible with EC competition rules in that the definition of qualified broadcasters for the broadcasting of listed events relies on objective criteria that allow actual and potential competition for the acquisition of the rights to broadcast these events. In addition, the number of listed events is not disproportionate so as to distort competition on the downstream free television and pay-television markets.(13) The proportionality of the Finnish measures is reinforced by the fact that they have no retroactive effect and thus have no impact on the exercise of the broadcasting rights to listed events acquired before the date of their entry into force.(14) The Commission communicated the measures notified by Finland to the other Member States and presented the results of this verification at the meeting of the Committee established pursuant to Article 23a of Directive 89/552/EEC of 15 November 2006. The Committee adopted a favourable opinion at this meeting.(15) The Finnish measures were adopted on 22 February 2007 and entered into force on 1 March 2007,. The measures pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC notified by Finland to the Commission on 22 September 2006 are compatible with Community law. The measures, as finally taken by Finland and set out in the Annex to this Decision, shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article 3a(2) of Directive 89/552/EEC..

Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. For that purpose new Community tariff quotas should be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.(2) The quota amount for certain autonomous Community tariff quotas is insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period. Consequently, these quota amounts should be increased.(3) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.(4) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to rely on the grounds of urgency provided for in point I.3 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Community on the role of national parliaments in the European Union.(5) Since this Regulation is to apply from 1 July 2005, it should enter into force immediately,.

Moreover, experience has been gained from information collected by the Member States in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 2002/887/EC, as well as on the basis of contacts with Japan. Furthermore, appropriate mechanisms are established in this Decision to ensure the monitoring of the conditions of application of the derogations. Therefore it is appropriate to extend the authorisations for derogations granted in this Decision for a longer period than the ones granted by previous Decisions, and namely until 31 December 2020.(4) However, and due to phytosanitary reasons, the import of naturally or artificially dwarfed plants of Juniperus L. originating in Japan should take place only during a specific period of each year until 31 December 2020.(5) Decision 2002/887/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. Decision 2002/887/EC is amended as follows:1. In the first and second paragraphs of Article 2, ‘1 August 2009 and 1 August 2010’ is replaced by ‘1 August each year’.2.

Following an expiry review, those measures have been last maintained by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 (3).(2) By Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 (4), the Council imposed anti-dumping measures on imports of PET originating in India. Following an expiry review, those measures have been last maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (5). On 24 February 2012, the Commission initiated a subsequent expiry review. By Implementing Decision 2013/226/EU (6), the Council rejected the Commission’s proposal for a Council implementing regulation maintaining the anti-dumping duty on imports of PET originating in, inter alia, India and, thus, the anti-dumping measures expired.(3) In 2000, by Decision 2000/745/EC (7), the Commission accepted price undertakings offered in connection with both the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings from, inter alia, the Indian companies Pearl Engineering Polymers Limited (‘Pearl’) and Reliance Industries Limited (‘Reliance’).

Therefore, Article 1(4) and Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013, together with the Annex to that Regulation, should be repealed. Accordingly, the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 should apply to imports of PET produced by the companies Dhunseri, Reliance and Pearl (TARIC additional code A585 for Dhunseri, TARIC additional code A181 for Reliance and TARIC additional code A182 for Pearl),. 1.   Article 1(4) and Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 and the Annex to that Regulation are repealed.2.   Article 1(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 shall be renumbered Article 1(4).3.   Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 shall be renumbered Article 2.

The possibility should therefore be given to the operators in those States to fully take benefit of these quotas after their accession.(5) In order not to create a market distortion before and after 1 May 2004, the trade periods have to be modified, for year 2004, without however modifying the total quantities provided for by Decision 2003/917/EC. It is also appropriate to adapt the implementing measures with regard to the applications lodging date.(6) As licence application periods under the new import concessions for periods 1 January to 31 March 2004 and 1 April to 30 April 2004 coincide for reasons of simplicity, the quantities relevant for each period should be merged.(7) Regulation (EC) No 2497/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,.

33415,"2007/226/EC: Commission Decision of 11 April 2007 concerning the extension of the deadline for placing on the market of biocidal products containing certain active substances not examined during the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2007) 1545). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 16(2) second subparagraph, and (3) of Directive 98/8/EC (hereinafter referred to as the Directive) provide that, where the requisite information and data for the evaluation of an active substance have not been submitted within the prescribed period, it may be decided not to include the active substance in Annexes I, IA or IB of the Directive. Following such a decision, Member States should withdraw all authorisations for biocidal products containing the active substance.(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1896/2000 (2) and (EC) No 2032/2003 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first and second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of the Directive. Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 specifies 1 September 2006 as the date with effect from which Member States shall cancel authorisations for biocidal products containing identified existing active substances in respect of which there has been neither an accepted notification nor an expression of interest by a Member State.(3) Article 4a of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1048/2005 (4), lays down the conditions under which Member States may apply to the Commission for an extension of the phase-out period laid down in its Article 4(2) and the conditions for granting such an extension.(4) For some of the active substances for which use in biocidal products shall be prohibited after 1 September 2006, applications for extension of this phase-out period have been submitted by individual Member States to the Commission together with information demonstrating a need for further use of the substances concerned.(5) Poland has submitted information demonstrating the temporary absence of suitable alternatives to cyfluthrin with regard to its use as an insecticide for the protection of building timber in historical and other constructions. A brief extension of the phase-out period for this substance seems appropriate, to allow for efficacy data to be submitted for other alternative substances and their placing on the Polish market to become possible according to national legislation.(6) France has submitted information demonstrating the need to provide for as wide a spectrum as possible of available larvicides to combat mosquitoes that are vectors of serious diseases affecting the population of the Member State's overseas departments, and requested to maintain temephos on the market of these regions. An extension of the phase-out period for this substance seems appropriate to allow for its replacement by other suitable substances.(7) France has submitted information demonstrating the need for temporary continuation of the use of ammonia as a veterinary hygiene biocidal product to prevent infections by coccidia, cryptosporidium and nematodes in livestock. An extension of the phase-out period for this substance seems appropriate to permit its gradual replacement by other available substances that are notified for evaluation under the Directive's review programme.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. By derogation from Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, the Member States listed in column B of the Annex to this Decision may grant or maintain an existing approval for placing on the market of biocidal products containing substances listed in column A of the Annex, for the essential uses listed in column D and until the dates stated in column C of that Annex. 1.   Member States making use of the derogation provided for in Article 1 of this Decision shall ensure that the following conditions are complied with:(a) continued use is only possible under the conditions that products containing the substance are approved for the intended essential use;(b) the continued use is only accepted so far as it has no unacceptable effect on human or animal health or on the environment;(c) all appropriate risk reduction measures are imposed when granting approval;(d) such biocidal products remaining on the market after 1 September 2006 are relabelled in order to match the restricted use conditions;(e) where appropriate, Member States shall ensure that alternatives for such uses are being sought by the holders of the approvals or by the Member States concerned, or that a dossier is being prepared for submission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11 of Directive 98/8/EC by 14 May 2008 at the latest.2.   Where appropriate, the Member States concerned shall inform the Commission annually on the application of paragraph 1 and in particular on the actions taken pursuant to point (e).

5265,"Commission Directive 2011/20/EU of 2 March 2011 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include fenoxycarb as active substance and amending Decision 2008/934/EC  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,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 Article 6(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) 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 included fenoxycarb.(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of fenoxycarb.(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).(4) The application was submitted to the Netherlands, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(5) The Netherlands evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 10 December 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on fenoxycarb to the Commission on 13 September 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for fenoxycarb.(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing fenoxycarb may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include fenoxycarb in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit information confirming the risk assessment for non-target arthropods and for bee brood.(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing fenoxycarb to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of fenoxycarb and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning fenoxycarb in the Annex to that Decision.(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.(14) 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 I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. The line concerning fenoxycarb in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing fenoxycarb as an active substance by 30 November 2011.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to fenoxycarb are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing fenoxycarb as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning fenoxycarb. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing fenoxycarb as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing fenoxycarb as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

They are not, however, included among the basic cereals referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 for which provision is made for intervention buying-in.(2) Oats are a major traditional crop in Finland and Sweden and are well suited to the weather conditions obtaining in those countries. Production far exceeds requirements in those countries with the result that they are required to dispose of surpluses by exporting them to third countries. Membership of the Community has not altered the previous situation.(3) Any reduction in the quantity of oats grown in Finland and Sweden would promote the growing of other cereals qualifying for the intervention arrangements, especially barley. Production of barley is in surplus both in these two countries and across the whole of the Community. A switch from oats to barley would only worsen the situation and create further surpluses. It is necessary therefore to ensure that exports of oats to third countries can continue.(4) Refunds may be granted in respect of oats under Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003. The geographical situation of Finland and Sweden places those countries in a less favourable position from the point of view of exporting than other Member States. The fixing of refunds on the basis of Article 13 favours primarily exports from other Member States. It is anticipated therefore that the production of oats in Finland and in Sweden will give way increasingly to that of barley. Consequently, in coming years, substantial quantities of barley must be expected to enter intervention storage in Finland and Sweden under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, the only possibility of disposal being export to third countries. Exports from intervention storage are more costly to the Community budget than direct exports.(5) These additional costs can be avoided under a special intervention measure within the meaning of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003. Such an intervention measure may take the form of a measure intended to relieve the market in oats in Finland and Sweden. The grant of a refund by a tendering procedure, applicable only to oats produced and exported from those two countries, would be the most appropriate measure in the circumstances.(6) The nature and objectives of the said measure make it appropriate to apply to it, mutatis mutandis, Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and the Regulations adopted for its implementation, in particular Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2).(7) Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 requires tenderers, among their other undertakings, to apply for an export licence and lodge a security. The rate of that security should be established.(8) The cereals in question should actually be exported from the Member States for which a special intervention measure was implemented. It is necessary therefore to limit the use of export licences to exports from the Member State in which application for the licence was made and to oats produced in Finland and Sweden.(9) In view of the Europe Agreements establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part and the Republic of Bulgaria (3) and Romania (4), these two countries must be excluded from the list of eligible destinations. Furthermore, given the way the refund is calculated using market prices on distant markets, the nearby destinations of Switzerland and Norway, for which these measures are not justified by reason of the relatively minor transport costs arising from their proximity and the communication channels available to these destinations, should also be excluded.(10) To ensure that all parties are treated equally, all licences issued should have the same period of validity.(11) To ensure the satisfactory operation of export tendering procedures, a minimum quantity should be set and the time limit for the submission of tenders to the competent authority and the form in tenders are to be forwarded should be specified.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,. 1.   A special intervention measure in the form of an export refund shall be implemented in respect of 400 000 tonnes of oats produced in Finland and Sweden and intended for export from Finland and Sweden to all third countries, except Bulgaria, Norway, Romania and Switzerland. 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and the provisions adopted for the application of that Article shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to that refund.2.   The Finnish and Swedish intervention agencies shall be responsible for implementing the measure referred to in paragraph 1. 1.   Tenders shall be invited in order to determine the amount of the refund referred to in Article 1(1).2.   The invitation to tender shall relate to the quantity of oats referred to in Article 1(1) for export to all third countries, except Bulgaria, Norway, Romania and Switzerland.3.   The invitations to tender shall be open until 22 June 2006. During that period, weekly invitations to tender shall be made for which the date for submission of tenders shall be set out in the notice of invitation to tender.Notwithstanding Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95, the time limit for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 15 September 2005.4.   Tenders must be submitted to the Finnish and Swedish intervention agencies named in the notice of invitation.5.   The tendering procedure shall take place in accordance with this Regulation and Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. Offers shall not be valid unless:(a) they relate to not less than 1 000 tonnes;(b) they are accompanied by a written undertaking from the tenderer specifying that they relate solely to oats grown in Finland and Sweden which are to be exported from those countries.Where the undertaking referred to in (b) is not fulfilled, the security referred to in Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 (5) shall be forfeited, except in cases of force majeure. Under the tendering procedure laid down in Article 2, one of the following entries shall be made in box 20 of applications and export licences:—   in Finnish: ‘Asetus (EY) N:o 1438/2005 – Todistus on voimassa ainoastaan Suomessa ja Ruotsissa’,—   in Swedish: ‘Förordning (EG) nr 1438/2005 – Licensen giltig endast i Finland och Sverige’. The refund shall be valid only for exports from Finland and Sweden. The security referred to in Article 5(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 shall be EUR 12 per tonne. 1.   Notwithstanding Article 23(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (6), export licences issued in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 shall, for the purpose of determining their period of validity, be deemed to have been issued on the day on which the tender was submitted.2.   Export licences issued under the tendering procedure laid down in Article 2 shall be valid from their date of issue, as defined in paragraph 1 of this Article, until the end of the fourth month following that of issue.3.   Notwithstanding Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, export licences issued under the tendering procedure laid down in Article 2 of this Regulation shall be valid in Finland and Sweden only. The Finnish and Swedish intervention agencies shall electronically notify the Commission of the tenders submitted not later than one and a half hours following expiry of the deadline for the weekly submission of tenders as specified in the notice of invitation to tender, using the form shown in the Annex hereto.If no tenders are received, the Finnish and Swedish intervention agencies shall inform the Commission thereof within the period specified in the first subparagraph.The time laid down for submitting tenders shall be Belgian time.

Part II of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 contains a list of acceding States which was relevant until 30 April 2004. It is therefore no longer necessary to maintain neither Part II of Annex V nor the separation of Annex V in two parts.(5) For the sake of clarity, the country ISO codes should be added in Annex V.(6) Serbia has recently requested the authorisation to export hay and straw to the Union.(7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (3) lists Serbia as a country from which consignments of fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and of domestic solipeds may be imported into the Union.(8) Although live ungulates from Serbia are not allowed to be introduced into the Union, hay and straw can be allowed for introduction, as the animal health situation in Serbia does not present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases through these plant products, which might have been in contact with live animals.(9) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

35424,"Commission Directive 2008/77/EC of 25 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include thiamethoxam as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes thiamethoxam.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, thiamethoxam has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Spain was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 27 July 2007 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 February 2008, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing thiamethoxam may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include thiamethoxam in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing thiamethoxam can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood exposed to weathering. Therefore, authorisations for these uses should not be granted unless data have been submitted in order to demonstrate that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing thiamethoxam and used as wood preservatives to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments since unacceptable risks in these compartments have been identified during the evaluation and products intended for industrial and/or professional use should be used with appropriate protective equipment if the risk identified for industrial and/or professional users cannot be reduced by other means.(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance thiamethoxam and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product type 8 containing thiamethoxam to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

36470,"2009/355/EC: Commission Decision of 28 April 2009 authorising the placing on the market of lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes as novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2009) 3036). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,Whereas:(1) On 7 September 2004 the company Ottaway & Associates Ltd. on behalf of the company LycoRed made a request to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom to place lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes on the market as a novel food ingredient; on 30 June 2005 the competent food assessment body of the United Kingdom issued its initial assessment report, in which it came to the conclusion that lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes is acceptable to be used in the proposed range of foodstuffs.(2) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 9 August 2005.(3) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision; therefore the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on 13 September 2006 and issued its opinion on 24 April 2008.(4) In that opinion, EFSA came to the conclusion that lycopene may be safely used as a food ingredient for the proposed use; however, EFSA concluded that the consumption of lycopene by the average user will stay below the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), but that some users of lycopene may exceed the ADI.(5) Meanwhile, following other requests for other uses of lycopene as novel food ingredient, EFSA came to the same conclusion; therefore, it appears appropriate to establish a list of foods acceptable for the addition of lycopene.(6) Therefore, it appears appropriate to collect intake data for a number of years following the authorisation in order to review this authorisation in the light of any further information on the safety of lycopene and its consumption. Particular attention should be given to the collection of data regarding the levels of lycopene in breakfast cereals. However, this requirement under the present Decision, applies to the use of lycopene as a novel food ingredient and not to the use of lycopene as a food colour, that falls within the scope of Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (2).(7) On the basis of the scientific assessment, it is established that lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.(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,. Lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes, hereinafter called the product, as specified in Annex I, may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient to be used in the foods listed in Annex II. The designation of the novel food ingredient authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuff containing it shall be ‘lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes’. The company LycoRed shall establish a monitoring programme accompanying the marketing of the product. This programme shall encompass information about use levels of lycopene in foods as specified in Annex III.The data collected shall be made available to the Commission and Member States in accordance with the periodicity established in Annex III.In the light of new information and a report of EFSA, at the latest in the year 2014 the use of lycopene oleoresin from tomatoes as an ingredient to foods shall be reviewed.

Article 3 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 344/91 is replaced by  the following:'1.  Member States shall ensure that classification is carried out by qualified technicians who  have obtained a licence for this purpose. The licence may be replaced by an approval granted by the  Member State where such approval corresponds to recognition of a qualification.The performance of the classifiers operating regularly in approved establishments which slaughter  more than 75 adult bovine animals per week as an annual average will be monitored quarterly by the  way of an unannounced individual test carried out on 40 carcases. However in approved  establishments where only one classifier regularly operates and where less than 40 carcases are  available, the test shall be carried out on the number of carcases actually available, provided  that this is at least 25. The test shall be operated by a body independent of the slaughterhouse  and of the classification agencies and shall count towards the inspections required under paragraph  2. However the requirement to be independent of the classification agency shall not apply where the  competent authority itself carried out such controls.2.  Classification and identification of the carcases in the establishments covered by Article 1 of  Regulation (EEC) No 1186/90 shall be checked on the spot without prior warning of a body  independent of the slaughterhouse.Checks must be carried out at least twice every three months in all approved establishments which  operate classification and must relate to at least the same number of carcases referred to in the  second subparagraph of paragraph 1, selected at random. However, in the case of the approved  establishments referred to in the first indent of Article 2 (2) and of approved establishments  where only one classifier regularly operates, frequency of the checks may be reduced to once every  three months only.Where the body responsible for checks is the same as that responsible for classification and  identification of the carcases or where it does not fall under the authority of a public body, the  checks provided for in the preceding subparagraph must be carried out under the physical  supervision of a public body under the same conditions and at least once a year. The public body  shall be informed regularly of the findings of the body responsible for checks.In cases where a significant number of incorrect classifications or of identifications failing to  comply with the rules is ascertained during these inspections:(a)  the number of carcases inspected and the frequency of spot checks shall be increased; and (b)  the licence provided for in the preceding paragraph may be revoked.Inspection reports referring to the controls undertaken under this Article shall be made and kept  by the national controlling bodies.

38028,"2010/642/EU: Commission Decision of 25 October 2010 authorising a method for grading pig carcases in Greece (notified under document C(2010) 7230). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) Point B.IV, paragraph 1, of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that, for the classification of pig carcases, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means grading methods authorised by the Commission, which methods may only be statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance is defined in Article 23(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcases and the reporting of prices thereof (2).(2) Greece has asked the Commission to authorise one method for grading dehided pig carcases. This Member State has presented a detailed description of the uniform manner of dehiding carcases in part one of the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 and the results of its dissection trial in part two of that protocol. Both protocols were presented to the other Member States in the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets in 2008, 2009 and 2010.(3) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled. This grading method should therefore be authorised in Greece.(4) In accordance with the second paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of that point, inter alia, where normal commercial practice in their territory differs from that standard presentation.(5) Greece has specified to the Commission that, in some slaughterhouses in Greece, commercial practice requires also the removal of the skin from the pig carcases, in addition to the removal of the tongue, bristles, hooves, genital organs, flare fat, kidneys and diaphragm as required by that first paragraph. This presentation that differs from the standard presentation should therefore be authorised in Greece.(6) No modification of the apparatus or grading method may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. The use of the following method is hereby authorised for grading dehided pig carcases pursuant to point B.IV, paragraph 1, of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in Greece: the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’ and the assessment method related thereto, details of which are given in the Annex. Notwithstanding the standard presentation laid down in the first paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, pig carcases in Greece may be dehided in a uniform manner before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot carcase weight shall be adjusted according to the following formula:hot carcase weight = 1,05232 × weight of the dehided carcase Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment method shall not be authorised.

Grading of dehided pig carcases shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’.2. The apparatus shall be equipped with a probe of 5,95 millimetres diameter (and of 6,3 millimetres at the blade on top of the probe) containing a photodiode (Siemens LED of the type LYU 260-EO) and photodetector of the type Silonex SLCD-61N1 and having an operating distance of between 0 and 120 millimetres. The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimated lean meat content by means of the HGP 4 itself or a computer linked to it.3. The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:Ŷ = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcase,Χ1 = the thickness of back-fat (without rind) in millimetres, measured at 8 centimetres off the midline of the carcase at the level of the last rib,Χ2 = the thickness of back-fat (without rind) in millimetres, measured at 6 centimetres off the midline of the carcase between the third and fourth last ribsΧ3 = the thickness of the dorsal muscle in millimetres, measured at the same time and in the same place as X2.

3849,"2005/189/EC: Commission Decision of 7 March 2005 amending the Appendix to Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession as regards certain establishments in the meat sector in Slovakia (notified under document number C(2005) 512) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (1), and in particular Annex XIV, Chapter 5, Section B, paragraph (d) thereto,Whereas:(1) Annex XIV, Chapter 5, Section B, paragraph (a) to the 2003 Act of Accession provides that the structural requirements laid down in Annex I to Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat (2) and in Annexes A and B to Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting the production and marketing of meat products and certain other products of animal origin (3) are not to apply to establishments in Slovakia listed in the Appendix (4) to Annex XIV to the Act of Accession until 31 December 2006, subject to certain conditions.(2) The Appendix to Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession has been amended by Commission Decision 2004/463/EC (5).(3) According to an official declaration from the Slovak competent authority, three meat establishments have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with Community legislation. Furthermore, two meat establishments from that list have ceased their activities. Those establishments should therefore be deleted from the list of establishments in transition.(4) Three meat establishments on the list of establishments in transition have made considerable efforts to comply with structural requirements laid down by Community legislation. However, those establishments are not in position to finish their upgrading process by the prescribed deadline due to exceptional technical constraints. Therefore it is justified to allow them further time to complete the upgrading process.(5) The Appendix to Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession should therefore be amended accordingly. For the sake of clarity, it should be replaced.(6) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has been informed of the measures provided for in this Decision,. The Appendix to Annex XIV to the 2003 Act of Accession is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

The indicative quantity provided for in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 for banana imports under the tariff quotas provided for in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 shall be 29 % of the quantities available for traditional and non-traditional operators under tariff quotas A/B and C for the second quarter of 2004.

4770,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 910/2008 of 18 September 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 in respect of laying down detailed rules for out-of-quota exports in the sugar sector. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 40(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) According to Article 12(d) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 the sugar or isoglucose produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 7 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed. To this end it should be considered an export quota within the meaning of Article 1(2)(b)(iii) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (2).(2) In respect of the sugar sector, Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (3) lays down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries.(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 (4) as amended by Regulation (EC) No 707/2008 (5) simplified the use of methods for the determination of sugar content of syrups. It is therefore appropriate to harmonise the methods used in the case of export refunds with those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 952/2006.(4) With a view to ensuring orderly management, preventing speculation and providing for effective controls, detailed rules should be laid down for submitting licence applications for out-of-quota exports of sugar and isoglucose. Such rules should make use of the procedures laid down by existing legislation, with suitable adaptations to reflect the specific needs of this sector.(5) Further implementing provisions should be established for the administration of the quantitative limit to be fixed by another Act, in particular regarding the conditions for applying for export licences.(6) In order to reduce the risks of possible frauds linked to the reintroduction on the Community market of out-of-quota sugar and/or isoglucose it may be decided to exclude certain destinations from the eligible destinations. For such cases it is necessary to define those documents that would prove that the products in question have been imported into a country not excluded from the eligible destinations.(7) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1541/2007 of 20 December 2007 on proof of completion of customs formalities for the import of sugar into third countries as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (6) defines those documents that provide sufficient proofs of importation in case of differentiated export refunds. The same documents should also be accepted as proof for out-of-quota exports.(8) Experience acquired has shown that the application for export licences concerning the specific (EX/IM) refining operations is very limited. Therefore, the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, namely Articles 13 to16 thereof, should be deleted. Transitional rules should nevertheless be laid down in respect of pending applications.(9) According to Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for products originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (7) all import duties shall be eliminated on imports of molasses into the Community originating in the ACP countries. Therefore Article 41 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 should be deleted.(10) Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 should be amended, as no reference to a specific Regulation should be mentioned therein beforehand. In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, when the export refund is fixed pursuant to an invitation to tender, section 20 of the licence application and of the licence should contain a reference to the Regulation that opens a standing invitation to tender in a given marketing year.(11) Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 is amended as follows:1. In Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:2. The following Chapter IIa is inserted:(a) a copy of the transport document;(b) a declaration that the product has been unloaded, drawn up by an official authority of the third country in question, by the official authorities of a Member State established in the country of destination, or by an international supervisory agency approved under Articles 16a to 16f of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, certifying that the product has left the unloading site or at least that, to the knowledge of the authority or agency issuing the declaration, the product has not subsequently been reloaded with a view to being re-exported;(c) a bank document issued by approved intermediaries established in the Community certifying that payment corresponding to the export in question has been credited to the account of the exporter opened with them, or proof of payment.’3. Article 7 is replaced by the following:4. The following Articles 7a to 7e are inserted:(a) “out-of-quota sugar for export without refund”; or(b) “out-of-quota isoglucose for export without refund”.5. The following Article 8a is inserted:6. In Section 1 of Chapter V, the following Article is added:7. Articles 13 to 16 are deleted.

However Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides for derogations in favour of least-developed GSP-beneficiary countries which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community.(3) Laos has benefited from such a derogation for certain textiles since 1997, in the last instance by virtue of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 of 24 July 2000 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take account of the special situation of Laos regarding certain exports of textiles to the Community(6), which applied for the period 15 July 2000 to 31 December 2001. It has submitted a request for the renewal of the derogation.(4) The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000, in particular the existence of quantitative conditions, which apply on an annual basis, reflecting the Community market's capacity to absorb the Lao products, Laos's export capacity and actual recorded trade flows, were designed to prevent injury to the corresponding branches of Community industry.(5) The request submitted by Laos has been considered by the Commission and has been found to be duly substantiated. The derogation should therefore be renewed. Moreover, the interests of traders both in Laos and in the Community concluding contracts in particular, and the stability and the sustained development of the Lao industry in terms of ongoing investment and employment, require that the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 should continue to apply without interruption when the derogation provided for therein expires. Furthermore, the derogation should be granted for a longer period of time than hitherto, but not beyond 31 December 2004, when the current GSP scheme expires.(6) In order to allow more efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Laos should communicate regularly to the Commission details of certificates of origin issued.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 is amended as follows:1. In Article 2, ""31 December 2001"" is replaced by ""31 December 2004"".2. Article 5 is replaced by the following: ""Article 51.

33625,"2007/638/EC: Commission Decision of 24 September 2007 on emergency vaccination of poultry in Italy against low pathogenic avian influenza (notified under document number C(2007) 4393). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (1), and in particular, Article 54(2) thereof;Whereas:(1) Directive 2005/94/EC sets out the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry or other captive birds.(2) Under Commission Decision 2005/926/EC of 21 December 2005 on introducing supplementary measures to control infections with low pathogenic avian influenza in Italy and repealing Decision 2004/666/EC (2) Italy carried out vaccination against low pathogenic avian influenza until the end of 2006.(3) Since May 2007 outbreaks of low pathogenic avian influenza have occurred in parts of Northern Italy and measures in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC have been taken to control the spread of the virus.(4) In July and August 2007 an increase of low pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks in particular of the subtype H7 has been observed and further outbreaks of that disease continue to be detected. A small number of outbreaks caused by the low pathogenic avian influenza subtype H5 have been reported.(5) In its scientific opinions on the use of vaccination to control avian influenza issued by the European Food Safety Authority in 2005 (3) and 2007 (4) the Animal Health and Welfare Panel stated that emergency and preventive vaccination against avian influenza is a valuable tool to complement the control measures for that disease.(6) The outbreaks of low pathogenic avian influenza in Italy concern a densely populated poultry area and the epidemiogical situation is still evolving.(7) The Italian authorities have carried out a risk assessment and identified a particular risk for further spread of the virus in the areas concerned. Italy has, therefore, by letter dated 7 September 2007, submitted an emergency vaccination plan to the Commission for its approval.(8) The Commission has examined that plan together with Italy and is satisfied that it conforms with the relevant Community provisions. In the light of the development of the epidemiological situation in Italy, it is appropriate to approve the emergency vaccination plan submitted by Italy to supplement the control measures taken by that Member State and to introduce certain restrictions on movements of poultry, hatching eggs of poultry and day-old chicks and certain poultry products.(9) According to the vaccination plan, Italy intends to vaccinate certain poultry categories following the Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animal (DIVA) strategy using both monovalent vaccines directed against avian influenza virus of subtype H7 and bivalent vaccines against H7 and H5 subtypes.(10) Only vaccines authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (5) or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency (6) should be used.(11) In addition, surveillance and monitoring of vaccinated and unvaccinated poultry flocks as set out in the emergency vaccination plan should be carried out.(12) The measures provided for in Decision 2005/926/EC are no longer appropriate and that Decision should therefore be repealed.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Subject matter, scope and definitions1.   This Decision lays down certain measures to be applied in Italy where emergency vaccination is carried out in certain poultry holdings at particular risk for introduction of avian influenza, including certain restrictions on movements and dispatch of poultry, hatching eggs of poultry and day-old chicks and certain products derived thereof.2.   This Decision shall apply without prejudice to the measures taken by Italy in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC to control outbreaks of low pathogenic avian influenza. The emergency vaccination plan1.   The plan for emergency vaccination against low pathogenic avian influenza in Italy, as submitted by Italy to the Commission on 7 September 2007 (‘the emergency vaccination plan’) is approved.2.   Italy shall carry out the emergency vaccination plan in the areas listed in Annex I (‘the emergency vaccination area’).It shall ensure that the emergency vaccination plan is implemented effectively.3.   The Commission shall publish the emergency vaccination plan on its website. Vaccines to be usedItaly shall ensure that poultry is vaccinated in accordance with the emergency vaccination plan with one of the following types of vaccine authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC or Regulation (EC) No 726/2004:(a) an inactivated heterologous vaccine of avian influenza subtype H7; or(b) a bivalent inactivated heterologous vaccine containing both avian influenza subtypes H5 and H7. Restrictions on movements of poultry1.   The competent authority shall ensure that poultry that come from and/or originate from holdings in Italy where emergency vaccination has been carried out (‘emergency vaccination holdings’) are not moved to other parts of Italy or dispatched to other Member States.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1 poultry for slaughter that come from and/or originate from emergency vaccination holdings may be moved to other parts of Italy or dispatched to other Member States, where the poultry originate from flocks which:(a) before loading have been examined with favourable results in accordance with point 1 of Annex II, and(b) are dispatched to a slaughterhouse:(i) within Italy and are slaughtered immediately upon arrival; or(ii) in another Member State following the agreement of the Member State of destination and are slaughtered immediately upon arrival. Restrictions on movements of hatching eggs of poultryThe competent authority shall ensure that hatching eggs of poultry that come from and/or originate from emergency vaccination holdings are moved to other parts of Italy or dispatched to other Member States, only where the hatching eggs:(a) originate from flocks which have been examined with favourable results in accordance with point 2 of Annex II;(b) have been disinfected before movement or dispatch in accordance with a method approved by the competent authority;(c) are transported directly to the hatchery of destination;(d) are traceable within the hatchery. Restrictions on movements of day-old chicksThe competent authority shall ensure that day-old chicks that come from and/or originate from emergency vaccination holdings are moved to other parts of Italy or dispatched to other Member States, only where the day-old chicks:(a) originate from hatching eggs of poultry which satisfy the conditions set out in Article 5;(b) are placed in a poultry house or shed where there are no resident poultry.

25072,"2003/355/EC: Commission Decision of 9 April 2003 amending Decision 2003/207/EC relating to a proceeding under Article 81 of the EC Treaty (Case COMP/E-3/36.700 — Industrial and medical gases) (notified under document number C(2003) 1180). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962, First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1216/1999(2), and in particular Articles 3 and 15(2) thereof,Having regard to Commission Decision 2003/207/EG of 24 July 2002 relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty (Case COMP/E-3/36.700 - Industrial medical gases)(3), (hereinafter referred to as the Decision),Whereas:(1) In the Decision the Commission found that at meetings of March and October 1994 anticompetitive discussions on ""price scales"" and ""minimum prices"" for cylinder gases for small customers took place with a view to an agreement between certain undertakings, including Westfalen Gassen Nederland BV (hereinafter Westfalen)(4).(2) Therefore Westfalen was found to have taken part in the following agreements/concerted practices(5):(a) fixing price increases from October 1994 until December 1995, which is the end of the year for which the price increases were to be implemented;(b) fixing moratorium periods from October 1994 until January 1995 in order to implement the above price increases;(c) fixing minimum prices from March 1994 until December 1995, which is the end of the year for which the minimum prices were agreed upon.(3) As a result the Commission found that Westfalen infringed Article 81(1) of the Treaty from March 1994 until December 1995(6), and that Westfalen took part in the following agreements/concerted practices(7):(a) fixing price increases from October 1994 until December 1995;(b) fixing moratorium periods from October 1994 until January 1995;(c) fixing minimum prices from March 1994 until December 1995.(4) The Commission concluded that this warranted, based on a starting amount of EUR 0,45 million to be increased by 15 % for duration, a basic amount of fine of EUR 0,51 million for Westfalen(8). Taking into account the attenuating circumstances applicable to that company, the Commission concluded that an amount of fine of EUR 0,43 million was warranted prior to any application of the Commission notice on the non-imposition or reduction of fines in cartel cases (the Leniency Notice)(9). As the Leniency Notice was not applicable to Westfalen, the Commission imposed a total fine of EUR 0,43 million to that company(10).(5) Westfalen filed an appeal(11), at the Court of First Instance on 4 October 2002, in which it contested the Decision on certain grounds, among which it claimed that it did not participate in the meeting of March 1994.(6) Further to this appeal, the Commission realised that in its assessment it made a factual mistake as it did not take into account that Westfalen was indeed not represented in the abovementioned meeting of March 1994 but only at the meeting of October 1994(12).(7) It must therefore be stated that Westfalen took part in the following agreements/concerted practices:(a) fixing price increases from October 1994 until December 1995, which is the end of the year for which the price increases were to be implemented;(b) fixing moratorium periods from October 1994 until January 1995 in order to implement the above price increases;(c) fixing minimum prices from October 1994 until December 1995, which is the end of the year for which the minimum prices were agreed upon.(8) As a result it must be stated that Westfalen infringed Article 81(1) of the Treaty from October 1994 until December 1995 and that Westfalen took part in the following agreements/concerted practices:(a) fixing price increases from October 1994 until December 1995;(b) fixing moratorium periods from October 1994 until January 1995;(c) fixing minimum prices from October 1994 until December 1995.(9) As a consequence, with the same starting amount and an increase for duration now reduced to 10 %, the Commission should have set the basic amount of the fine for Westfalen at EUR 0,49 million. The fine calculated after taking into account the attenuating circumstances applicable to that company and prior to any application of the Leniency Notice should therefore amount to EUR 0,41 million and the total fine applicable to that company should amount to EUR 0,41 million.(10) This amendment has no consequences for the other parties involved in the Decision or for the rest of the Decision concerning Westfalen.(11) The difference between the amount of the fine imposed to Westfalen in the Decision of EUR 0,43, which has already been paid by that company, and the amended amount of the fine for Westfalen as reduced by the present Decision of EUR 0,41, which amounts to EUR 0,02 million, will be reimbursed to that company,. Decision 2003/207/EC is hereby amended as follows:1. in Article 1, the words ""Westfalen Gassen Nederland BV from March 1994 until December 1995"" are replaced by the words ""Westfalen Gassen Nederland BV from October 1994 until December 1995"";2. in Article 3, the words ""Westfalen Gassen Nederland BV EUR 0,43 million"" are replaced by the words ""Westfalen Gassen Nederland BV EUR 0,41 million"".

27543,"2004/772/EC: Commission Decision of 29 October 2004 on a Community financial contribution for 2004 to cover expenditure incurred by Belgium and Portugal for the purpose of combating organisms harmful to plants or plant products (notified under document number C(2004) 4181). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1) (hereinafter ‘the Directive’), and in particular Article 23 thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to the Directive, a financial contribution from the Community may be granted to Member States to cover expenditure relating directly to the necessary measures which have been taken or are planned to be taken for the purpose of combating harmful organisms introduced from third countries or from other areas in the Community, in order to eradicate or, if that is not possible, to contain them.(2) Belgium and Portugal have each established a programme of actions to eradicate organisms harmful to plants introduced in their territories. These programmes specify the objectives to be achieved, the measures carried out, their duration and their cost. They have applied for the allocation of a Community financial contribution to these programmes within the time limit set out in the Directive and in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002 of 14 June 2002 establishing detailed rules for the implementation of the provisions relating to the allocation of a financial contribution from the Community for plant-health control and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2051/97 (2) (hereinafter ‘the Regulation’).(3) The expenditure which Belgium and Portugal have incurred, and which is taken into account in this Decision, relates directly to the matters specified in Article 23(2)(a) and (b) of the Directive.(4) The technical information provided for by Belgium and Portugal has enabled the Commission to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively; the information has also been considered by the Standing Committee on Plant Health. The Commission has concluded that the conditions for the granting of a financial contribution in Article 23 of the Directive have been met.(5) Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide a Community financial contribution to cover the expenditure on these programmes.(6) The Community financial contribution may cover up to 50 % of eligible expenditure. Excluding the programme for which degression has to be applied in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 23(5) of the Directive, the Community financial contribution for the purposes of this Decision should be 50 %.(7) The programme notified by Portugal has already been the subject of Community contributions under Commission Decisions 2001/811/EC (3), 2002/889/EC (4) and 2003/787/EC (5). An extension of the period in which eradication measures have to take place, as foreseen in the third subparagraph of Article 23(5) of the Directive, has been granted to this existing programme, as the examination of the situation has lead to the conclusion that the objective of these eradication measures is likely to be achieved within a reasonable period. The Community financial contribution for this programme, has been progressively reduced in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 23(5).(8) The contribution referred to in Article 2 of this Decision is without prejudice to further actions taken or to be taken and necessary for the achievement of the objective of eradication or control of the relevant harmful organisms.(9) The present Decision is without prejudice to the outcome of the verification by the Commission under Article 24 of the Directive on whether the introduction of the relevant harmful organism has been caused by inadequate examinations or inspections and the consequences of such verification.(10) In accordance with Article 3(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 (6), veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules shall be financed under the Guarantee section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund. Financial control of these measures comes under Articles 8 and 9 of the above Regulation, without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002 and paragraphs 8 and 9 of Article 23 of the Directive.(11) The measures provided in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. The allocation of a Community financial contribution for 2004 to cover expenditure incurred by Belgium and Portugal relating directly to necessary measures as specified in Article 23(2) of Directive 2000/29/EC and taken for the purpose of combating the organisms concerned by the eradication programmes listed in the Annex to this Decision, is hereby approved. 1.   The total amount of the financial contribution referred to in Article 1 is EUR 576 549.2.   The maximum amounts of the Community financial contribution for each eradication programme and for each year of implementation of the eradication programme shall be as indicated in the Annex to this Decision.3.   The resulting maximum Community financial contribution for the concerned Member States shall be as follows:— EUR 210 485 to Belgium— EUR 366 064 to Portugal. Subject to the verifications by the Commission under Article 24 of Directive 2000/29/EC, the Community financial contribution as set out in the Annex shall be paid only when:(a) evidence of the measures taken has been given to the Commission through appropriate documentation, in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Regulation, in particular Article 1(2) and Article 2 thereof;(b) a request for payment of the Community financial contribution has been submitted by the Member State concerned to the Commission, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1040/2002.

25148,"2003/531/EC: Council Decision of 16 July 2003 on the granting of aid by the Belgian Government to certain coordination centres established in Belgium. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,Having regard to the application made by the Belgian Government on 26 May 2003,Whereas:(1) In a letter dated 26 May 2003 Belgium, in accordance with Article 88(3) of the Treaty, informed the Commission of its plan to apply until 31 December 2005 to certain undertakings authorised to act as coordination centres under Royal Decree No 187 of 30 December 1982 (as supplemented or amended by subsequent legislation), and whose authorisations are due to expire between 17 February 2003 and 31 December 2005, a special type of tax treatment as described in that letter. In a letter of the same date, registered at the General Secretariat of the Council on 26 May 2003, Belgium submitted to the Council a reasoned request for a decision in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 88(2) of the Treaty declaring that the measures Belgium is planning to introduce are compatible with the common market.(2) The coordination centres in question are responsible for the financial and administrative coordination of multinational groups.(3) In adopting Royal Decree No 187 of 30 December 1982 (as supplemented and amended by subsequent legislation), Belgium introduced special tax arrangements for coordination centres to take account of the particular nature of their activities and of the international environment in which they operate.(4) The Commission did not raise any objection to those arrangements in 1987 and 1990. It looked at them again under Article 88 of the Treaty after adoption of the Commission notice on the application of the State aid rules to measures relating to direct business taxation(1) and the examination made of tax measures derogating from the Member States' normal tax rules in the context of the Council's proceedings on the Code of Conduct for business taxation.(5) Within the framework of the Council's discussions on tax policy and of the Code of Conduct Follow-up Group, the Council meeting on 26 and 27 November 2000 approved conclusions on the rollback of potentially harmful arrangements whereby their effects on enterprises subject to harmful arrangements on 31 December 2000 would cease on 31 December 2005 at the latest, regardless of whether the arrangements were granted for a predetermined period. The Council also reserved the right to grant a possible extension beyond 31 December 2005 for some arrangements to take account of special circumstances.(6) By Decision of 17 February 2003(2) the Commission declared the Belgian arrangements for coordination centres to be incompatible with the common market. Under that Decision, Belgium is obliged to abolish the aid arrangements in question or amend them to make them compatible with the common market, although the effects of the arrangements may continue until expiry of each current individual authorisation or until 31 December 2010, whichever is the earlier.(7) The undertakings referred to in Belgium's application hold temporary but renewable authorisations under Royal Decree No 187. Their authorisations expire before 1 January 2006.(8) The multinational groups of which the coordination centres covered by the planned aid arrangements form part have made considerable investments in those centres. Without the new aid which Belgium plans to grant they might be obliged to cease operating in Belgium.(9) Cessation of the activities of the coordination centres covered by the new aid would have negative economic and social repercussions for Belgium.(10) The new aid planned is temporary. It is intended to avoid irreversible loss of financial business and jobs in Belgium and in the Community by enabling the beneficiaries to continue operating in Belgium, at least for the period necessary to enable Belgium to introduce other measures for coordination centres established on its territory or to facilitate reorganisation of the investments of the multinational groups in question, avoiding abrupt termination of contracts.(11) By contrast, the absence of any special tax arrangements for the coordination centres in question in the period until 31 December 2005 might cause a collapse of large multinationals' confidence in the Belgian State and have significant economic repercussions for Belgium in the long term as well.(12) Since the Commission Decision of 17 February 2003 allows the effects of the arrangements for the coordination centres to be maintained until deadlines which fall after 31 December 2005, depending on the expiry date of the current authorisation, and other Commission Decisions grant deadlines until 31 December 2010 for competitive special tax arrangements in other Member States, application of the special measures planned by Belgium should not cause any distortions of competition which are out of proportion to the anticipated benefits. Moreover, it is compatible with the balanced dismantling of comparable special arrangements in the Member States and their dependent or associated territories sought by the Council in its proceedings on the Code of Conduct for business taxation.(13) Exceptional circumstances therefore exist making it possible to consider as compatible with the common market the new aid planned by Belgium for coordination centres authorised as at 31 December 2000 and whose authorisations expire before 1 January 2006, which consists in granting them the tax treatment described in its letter of 26 May 2003 until 31 December 2005.(14) Given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities,. The aid which Belgium plans to grant in the period up to 31 December 2005 to undertakings authorised as at 31 December 2000 to act as coordination centres under Royal Decree No 187 of 30 December 1982, and whose authorisations expire between 17 February 2003 and 31 December 2005, shall be considered compatible with the common market; by way of derogation from the general rules on taxation, it involves:- application of the normal corporate tax rate to a theoretical tax base corresponding to a variable percentage of certain operating costs (the ""cost plus"" method). However, an alternative tax base is used if it exceeds the tax base resulting from application of the ""cost plus"" method; this alternative tax base includes the abnormal or benevolent advantages received by the centres and non-deductible expenses,- application of a special annual tax of EUR 10000 per employee, with a ceiling of EUR 100000,- exemption from the prĂŠcompte immobilier (property tax) on buildings owned by the centres which they use for their professional activity,- exemption from prĂŠcompte mobilier (withholding tax) on dividends, interest and royalties paid by the centres except, in the case of interest, where the beneficiary is subject to tax on natural persons or to tax on legal persons,- exemption from prĂŠcompte mobilier (withholding tax) on revenue which the centres receive from money deposits,- exemption from the 0,50 % registration tax on subscriptions of capital and on increases in authorised capital.

27701,"Regulation (EC) No 48/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 December 2003 on the production of annual Community statistics on the steel industry for the reference years 2003-2009. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),Whereas:(1) The statistics on the steel industry were based on the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) which came to an end on 23 July 2002.(2) Regulation (EC) No 1840/2002(4) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 September 2002 was adopted to ensure the prolongation until 31 December 2002 of the ECSC steel statistics system after the expiry of the ECSC Treaty.(3) It is necessary to continue collecting statistics on the steel industry in order to implement future Community policies on the steel industry. No other existing statistical system at a European level is able to satisfy the need for such statistics. A new Regulation based on the EC Treaty is therefore needed on the collection of Community statistics on the steel industry.(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics(5) constitutes the reference framework for the provisions of this Regulation.(5) A transitional phase running from 2003 to 2009 is needed to determine whether steel statistics can be integrated into other statistical systems.(6) Enterprises in the steel industry need worldwide information on investment and capacity in order to assess possible future undercapacity or overcapacity for particular classes of steel products. Community statistics on investment and capacity contribute to a global network of information on world steel capacity, organised under the auspices of the OECD.(7) Statistics on energy consumption in the steel industry yield information not only on energy use and production within the steel industry but indirectly also on emission of pollutants.(8) Statistics on the availability of stocks of iron and steel scrap are needed to monitor the use of this important raw material for steel making.(9) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6).(10) The Statistical Programme Committee has been consulted in accordance with Article 3 of Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(7),. ObjectiveThe objective of this Regulation is to establish a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics on the steel industry for the reference years 2003-2009. DefinitionsFor the purpose of this Regulation, the terms ""Community statistics"" and ""production of statistics"" shall bear the meanings given to them by Regulation (EC) No 322/97. ScopeThis Regulation shall cover data on the steel industry, which is defined as group 27.1 of the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community, (NACE Rev. 1), established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90(8).Where the value-added at factor cost of the enterprises in a Member State's steel industry represents less than 1 % of the Community total, the data on the characteristics need not be collected. CharacteristicsThe data supplied, which shall conform to the format set out in the Annex, shall relate to kind-of-activity unit characteristics as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 of 15 March 1993 on the statistical units for the observation and analysis of the production system in the Community(9) and to enterprises having 50 or more employees. Time reference and periodicityMember States shall compile on an annual basis the data specified in the Annex for the first time for the year 2003 and for each year thereafter until 2009. Transmission of data1. Member States shall transmit to the Commission (Eurostat) data and metadata on the steel industry aggregated over the units referred to in Article 4. The transmission shall include confidential data in accordance with the existing Community provisions on the transmission of data subject to confidentiality.2. Member States shall transmit the data and metadata in electronic form. Transmission shall conform to an appropriate interchange standard approved in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2).

40539,"Council Decision 2012/123/CFSP of 27 February 2012 amending Decision 2011/523/EU partially suspending the application of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Syrian Arab Republic. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207 in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Whereas:(1) On 18 January 1977, the European Economic Community and the Syrian Arab Republic concluded a Cooperation Agreement (1) (‘the Cooperation Agreement’) to promote overall cooperation with a view to strengthening relations between them.(2) On 2 September 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/523/EU (2) which partially suspends the application of the Cooperation Agreement until the Syrian authorities put an end to the systematic violations of human rights and can again be considered as being in compliance with general international law and the principles which form the basis of the Cooperation Agreement.(3) Since then, and in view of the further deterioration of the situation in Syria, the Union has adopted further restrictive measures against the Syrian regime (3).(4) In this regard, the partial suspension of the application of the Cooperation Agreement should continue. In line with the approach set out in Decision 2011/523/EU, the suspension should aim at targeting the Syrian authorities, not the people of Syria, and should be limited accordingly. Since gold, precious metals and diamonds are products the trade in which benefits in particular the Syrian regime, and which therefore supports its repressive policies, the suspension should be extended so as to apply also to trade in these materials,. The measures listed in the Annex to this Decision shall be added to the Annex to Decision 2011/523/EU. This Decision shall be notified to the Syrian Arab Republic.

29561,"2005/627/EC: Commission Decision of 26 August 2005 authorising methods for grading pig carcases in the Netherlands (notified under document number C(2005) 3234). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases is to 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 carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance was defined in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).(2) By Commission Decision 87/131/EEC (3), the use of one method for grading pig carcases in the Netherlands was authorised.(3) Due to technical adaptations, the Government of the Netherlands has requested the Commission to authorise the use of a new formula for the apparatus HGP 2 used at present under the Decision 87/131/EEC as from 1 July 2006, and to authorise a new method for grading pig carcases, and has therefore submitted the elements required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.(4) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.(5) No modification of the apparatuses or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.(6) For the sake of clarity, Decision 87/131/EEC should be repealed and replaced by a new decision.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,.

The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimated lean meat content by means of the HGP 2 itself as well as a computer linked to it.3.   The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:= p  gilt + (1 – p)  castrate (%)where:where:X1= the thickness of back-fat (including rind) in millimetres, measured at six centimetres off the midline of the split carcase, between the third and fourth last ribs,X2= the thickness of muscle in millimetres, measured at the same time and in the same place as X1,p= 1/ (1 + exp (– η)),where:η= – 3,277 – 0,4580 X1 + 0,3038 X2 + 0,007777 (X1)2 – 0,001792 (X2)2 – 0,002557 X1 * X2This formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kg.4.   However, as from 1 July 2006, the lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:= 60,85 – 0,745 X1 + 0,133 X2where:X1= the thickness of back-fat (including rind) in millimetres, measured at six centimetres off the midline of the split carcase, between the third and fourth last ribs,X2= the thickness of muscle in millimetres, measured at the same time and in the same place as X1.This formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms.PART 2VISION system (VCS 2000)1.   Grading of pig carcases shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed VISION system (VCS 2000).2.   The apparatus VISION system (VCS 2000) is a picture-processing system for automatically determining the trade values of pork-carcass-halves. The system is used online within the slaughtering production system where via a camera system the carcass halves are automatically filmed. The picture data is then processed in a computer by special picture-processing software.3.   The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:x1 – 0,02578308x2 0,01819554x3 – 0,01880347x4 0,01336851x5 0,03402026x6 – 0,00431013x7 0,01399586x8 – 0,01685383x9 0,03029107x10 0,00001618x11 0,00003510x12 0,00017285x13 – 0,00006323x14 – 0,00007814x15 0,03852565x16 0,03703442x17 0,04915633x18 0,16952262x19 – 0,07474948x20 – 0,00000064x21 – 0,00000045x22 – 0,00000217x23 0,00007137x24 0,00001311x25 0,00005955x26 0,00021689x27 0,00003631x28 0,00003996x29 0,00010888x30 0,00000010x31 – 0,00002481x32 – 0,00003633x33 – 0,00000496x34 – 0,00000991x35 – 0,00000980x36 – 0,00001532x37 – 0,00000254x38 – 0,00000886x39 0,00064604x40 – 0,00057968x41 0,00012513x42 – 0,00002055x43 – 0,00000035x44 – 0,00001008x45 – 0,00017158x46 0,00019477x47 – 0,00329811x48 0,00018512x49 0,02520693x50 – 0,02466706x51 – 0,00286098x52 – 0,01983356x53 – 0,00012369x54 – 0,04044495x55 0,00069282x56 0,00025689x57 0,00403378x58 0,00028090x59 10,79585085x60 – 0,65106186x61 – 0,29583150x62 0,16410084x63 0,06306376x64 – 2,22708974x65 0,09886817x66 0,55302524x67 – 1,38136772x68 – 12,51618138x69 – 2,65248635x70 9,08361318x71 – 0,00003025x72 – 0,00043013x73 – 0,00083619x74 – 0,00013210x75 0,00002221x76 – 0,00007579x77 – 0,00031534x78 – 0,00001867x79 – 0,00003067x80 0,00002421x81 – 0,00026088x82 0,00067359x83 0,00024535x84 – 0,00000847x85 0,00003206x86 0,00007141x87 0,00006951x88 – 0,04465410x89 0,01774709x90 – 0,03618843x91 – 0,02700865x92 – 0,02221780x93 – 0,03644020x94 – 0,01766434x95 0,00516267x96 – 0,02958650x97 – 0,01189834x98 0,00184860x99 0,00894691x100 0,01586154x101 – 0,01265988x102 – 0,00912249x103 0,02734395x104 0,13333009x105 0,18105960x106 – 0,06387375x107 0,03471900x108 0,21910356x109 – 0,12423421x110 0,09408101x111 0,01363443x112 0,06193271x113 – 0,02802852x114 0,02757767x115 0,000356414.   Descriptions of the measurement points and the statistical method can be found in Part II of the Dutch protocol forwarded to the Commission in accordance with Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.This formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms.

However, this prohibition does not necessarily guarantee that products are free from such pesticides, since some pesticides contaminate the environment and their residues may be found in the products concerned.(5) The health of infants and young children can be better protected by applying additional requirements which can be enforced by analysis regardless of a product's origin.(6) Most of the pesticides which have acceptable daily intake values lower than 0,0005 mg/kg body weight are already prohibited in the Community or will be prohibited by July 2003. The prohibited pesticides should not be detectable in processed cereal-based foods and baby foods by state of the art analytical methods. However, some pesticides degrade slowly and still contaminate the environment. They might be present in processed cereal-based foods and baby foods even if they have not been used. For the purposes of control, a harmonised approach has to be followed.(7) Pending Commission decisions on whether they satisfy the safety requirements of Article 5 of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(5), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/5/EC(6), the continued use of authorised pesticides should be permitted as long as their residues comply with the maximum residue levels established in the present Directive. The latter should be set at levels ensuring that their respective acceptable daily intake values are not exceeded by infants and young children under worst-case intake conditions.(8) Directive 96/5/EC should be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Directive 96/5/EC is amended as follows:1. Article 6 is amended as follows:- Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:""1. Processed cereal-based foods and baby foods shall not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children. Necessary maximum levels for substances other than those referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be established without delay.""- Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:""3. (a) Those pesticides listed in Annex VIII shall not be used in agricultural products intended for the production of processed cereal-based foods and baby foods. However, for the purpose of control:(i) pesticides listed in Table 1 of Annex VIII are considered not to have been used if their residues do not exceed a level of 0,003 mg/kg. This level which is considered to be the limit of quantification of the analytical methods shall be kept under regular review in the light of technical progress;(ii) pesticides listed in Table 2 of Annex VIII are considered not to have been used if their residues do not exceed a level of 0,003 mg/kg. This level shall be kept under regular review in the light of data on environmental contamination.The levels referred to in (i) and (ii) shall apply to the products as proposed ready for consumption or as reconstituted according to the instructions of the manufacturers.(b) For pesticides listed in Annex VII, where a decision concerning the non-inclusion of an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is taken, Annex VII and Annex VIII to this Directive shall be amended accordingly.""2. Annex VII is replaced by Annex I to this Directive.3. Annex VIII is replaced by Annex II to this Directive. 1. The Member States shall authorise trade in products which comply with Article 6(3) of Directive 96/5/EC by 6 March 2004 at the latest.2.

21542,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1203/2001 of 19 June 2001 opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for table wines in France. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Articles 30 and 33 thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for the possibility of opening crisis distillation in the event of exceptional market disturbance caused by major surpluses. Such measures may be limited to certain categories of wine and/or certain areas of production and may apply to quality wines psr at the request of the Member State.(2) The French Government has requested that crisis distillation be opened for table wines produced in France.(3) Production of table wine in France was 22,6 million hectolitres in 1997 and 21,1 million hectolitres in 1998. In 1999 the figure was 25,2 million hectolitres and in 2000 it was 23,02 million hectolitres.(4) Over that same period, table wine consumption in France remained relatively stable in the 1996/97 and 1997/98 wine years at around 18,3 million hectolitres, but fell in 1998/99 to 17,3 million hectolitres, which also appears to be the level of consumption for 1999/2000. By contrast, exports rose slightly between 1997 and 1999, but only exports to other Member States. Provisional figures for 2000 point to a fall in exports.(5) Stocks of table wine were 12,853 million hectolitres in 1997 and 12,086 million hectolitres in 1998. They fell to 10,85 million hectolitres in 1999. In 2000, they rose sharply to 14,07 million hectolitres. The fluctuation in stocks obviously varies widely from one department to the next, but it is very pronounced in departments with a large stock, with increases of between 47 % and 88 %. The growth in stocks has had a negative impact on prices, which have fallen by about 10 % to 17 % over the current wine year compared with the same period in the previous year.(6) In view of this situation, crisis distillation was opened for 800000 hectolitres of wine by Commission Regulation (EC) No 25/2001 of 5 January 2001 opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for table wines in France(3). It has been found that this volume is insufficient to reduce stocks of table wine to an acceptable level and rectify the difficult market situation.(7) Since the conditions laid down in Article 30(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 are still satisfied, a further crisis distillation covering a maximum of 1,5 million hectolitres of table wine should be opened. The measure should apply for a limited period with a view to maximum effectiveness. No ceiling shoud be set on the quantity that individual producers can have distilled because stocks may vary substantially from one producer to another and depend more on sales than on the individual producer's annual output.(8) The mechanism to be introduced is that provided for by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 545/2001(5). In addition to the Articles of that Regulation referring to the distillation measures provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 apply, in particular those concerning the delivery of alcohol to intervention agencies and the payment of an advance.(9) The price to be paid by distillers to producers should be set at a level that permits the solution of the problems faced by allowing producers to take advantage of this measure. That price should not, however, be such that it adversely affects the application of the distillation measure provided for by Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.(10) The product of crisis distillation must be raw or neutral alcohol for compulsory delivery to the intervention agency in order to avoid disturbing the market for potable alcohol, which is supplied largely by distillation under Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,. Crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is opened for a maximum of 1,5 million hectolitres of table wine in France. In addition to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 referring to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the following provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 shall also apply to the measure provided for in this Regulation:- Article 62(5) with respect to the payment by the intervention agency of the price referred to in Article 6(2) of this Regulation,- Articles 66 and 67 with respect to the advance referred to in Article 6(2) of this Regulation. Producers may conclude contracts as provided for in Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 from 21 June 2001 to 26 June 2001. Contracts shall be accompanied by proof that a security equal to EUR 5 per hectolitre has been lodged. Contracts may not be transferred. 1. The Member State shall determine the rate of reduction to be applied to the above contracts where the overall quantity covered by contracts presented exceeds that laid down in Article 1.2. The Member State shall adopt the administrative provisions necessary to approve the above contracts by 20 July 2001, shall specify the rate of reduction applied and the quantity of wine accepted per contract and shall stipulate that the producer may cancel the contract where the quantity to be distilled is reduced. The Member State shall notify the Commission before 27 July 2001 of the quantities of such wine covered by approved contracts.3. The wine shall be delivered to the distilleries by 15 October 2001. The alcohol obtained shall be delivered to the intervention agency by 31 January 2002.4. Securities shall be released in proportion to the quantities delivered where the producer provides proof of delivery to the distillery.5. The security shall be forfeit where no delivery is made within the time limit laid down.6. The Member State may limit the number of contracts that individual producers may conclude under the distillation measure. The minimum price paid for wine delivered for distillation under this Regulation shall be EUR 1,914 per % vol per hectolitre. 1. Distillers shall deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency. That product shall be of an alcoholic strength of at least 92 % vol.2. The price to be paid to the distiller by the intervention agency for raw alcohol delivered shall be EUR 2,2812 per % vol per hectolitre. The distiller may receive an advance on that amount of EUR 1,1222 per % vol per hectolitre. The advance shall in that case be deducted from the price actually paid.

In particular, it is necessary to ensure that the quality of information provided by the database for bovine animals is not adversely affected and that no bovine animals to which eartags have not been applied are moved.(3) This extension should apply only to holdings that have been individually authorised by the Member State concerned in accordance with clearly defined criteria.(4) Since the measures provided for in this Decision should apply to all Member States, Commission Decision 98/589/EC of 12 October 1998 concerning an extension of the maximum period laid down for the application of eartags to certain bovine animals belonging to the Spanish herd (2), which sets out specific provisions for Spain, should be repealed.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,.

Conditions for granting authorisation1.   Member States may grant authorisations as provided for in Article 1 where they are satisfied that the following conditions are fulfilled:(a) the holding is a free-range farm where suckler cows are reared under extensive conditions;(b) the area where the animals are kept features significant natural handicaps that result in reduced physical contact with humans;(c) the animals are not accustomed to regular contact with humans and show highly aggressive behaviour;(d) when the eartags are applied, each calf can be clearly assigned to its mother.2.   Member States may lay down additional criteria, in particular to restrict authorisations, as provided for in Article 1, to particular geographical regions or specific breeds.3.   Member States shall notify the Commission if they apply this Decision and inform it of any additional criteria they lay down in accordance with paragraph 2. TaggingOn holdings granted authorisations as provided for in Article 1, the eartags shall be applied at the latest when the calf:— reaches the age of six months,— is separated from its mother,— leaves the holding. Computerised database1.   The competent authority shall record in the computerised database for bovine animals referred in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 authorisations as provided for in Article 1 of this Decision in respect of the holdings to which they are granted.2.   Keepers shall, when reporting the birth of each animal in accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, inform the competent authority of any animal to which, pursuant to this Decision, eartags have not yet been applied.3.   The competent authority shall record animals to which eartags have not been applied at the time their birth and report as untagged animals in the computerised database for bovine animals. ControlsThe competent authority shall, each year, carry out at least one inspection visit on each holding granted an authorisation pursuant to Article 1.

Account must also be taken of the costs referred to in Article 35(4)(b) of that Regulation and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.(4) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. International trade prices are to be established in the light of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.(7) Shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.(8) Compared with other fruit and vegetables, nuts are relatively easy to store. Export refunds can accordingly be fixed for longer periods with a view to rational management of the arrangements.(9) The application of the abovementioned rules to the present and forecast market situation, and in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and international trade, gives the refund rates set out in the Annex hereto.(10) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, the resources available should be used as efficiently as possible while avoiding discrimination between traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements. For those reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product.(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(6), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.(12) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(8), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.(13) Owing to the market situation, in order to make the most efficient use of the resources available and given the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and certain destinations and consequently refunds under the A 1, A 2 and A 3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.(14) The quantities laid down for the various products should be distributed in accordance with the different systems for the grant of the refund, taking account in particular of their perishability.(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,. 1. The export refunds on nuts shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.2. Quantities covered by licences issued for food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not count against the eligible quantities covered by the Annex.3. Without prejudice to the application of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of A 1 licences shall be three months.

10046,"Council Directive 92/14/EEC of 2 March 1992 on the limitation of the operation of aeroplanes covered by Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 84 (2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1) ,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2) ,Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3) ,Whereas the application of noise emission standards to civil subsonic jet aeroplanes has significant consequences for the provision of air transport services, in particular where such standards limit the useful life of aeroplanes operated by airlines;  whereas Council Directive 80/51/EEC(4) , fixes limits on emission of such noise;Whereas Council Directive 89/629/EEC(5)  limits the addition to the civil air registers of Member States of aeroplanes that only comply with the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil  Aviation, second edition (1988); whereas that Directive specifies that the limitation on addition is only a first stage;Whereas the programme of action of the European Communities on the environment(6)  shows clearly the importance of the problem of noise and, in particular, the need to take action against noise due to air traffic;Whereas, owing to the problem of growing congestion at Community airports, it is essential to ensure that the best use is made of existing facilities; whereas this will only be possible if environmentally acceptable aeroplanes are used;Whereas the work undertaken by the Community in cooperation with other international bodies indicates that measures to limit the operation of aeroplanes which do not comply with the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16 must follow any non-addition rule in  order for this to be of environmental benefit;Whereas common rules for this purpose should be introduced on a reasonable time-scale to ensure a harmonized approach throughout the Community, supplementing existing rules; whereas this is particularly important in view of the recent trend towards  progressive liberalization of European air traffic;Whereas aeroplane noise should be further reduced, taking into account environmental factors, technical feasibility and economic consequences;Whereas it is appropriate to restrict the operation of civil subsonic jet aeroplanes on Member States' registers to those which comply with the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16; whereas a timetable for the gradual withdrawal from Member States'  registers of those aeroplanes which do not meet Chapter 3 standards would represent a facility both for airlines and for manufacturers;Whereas special consideration should be given to the problems of developing nations;Whereas in cases of technical or economic difficulty, it would be reasonable to grant limited exemptions,. 1.  The objective of this Directive is to restrict the operation of civil subsonic jet aeroplanes as specified in Article 2.2.  This Directive shall apply to aeroplanes with a maximum take-off mass of 34 000 kg or more with a certified maximum internal accommodation for the aeroplane type in question consisting of more than nineteen passenger seats, excluding any seats for  crew only. 1.  Member States shall ensure that, as from 1 April 1995, civil subsonic jet aeroplanes fitted with engines having a by-pass ratio of less than two cannot operate at airports situated in their territory unless granted noise certification  either:(a) to the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 3, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988); or(b) to the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the aforesaid Convention, provided that they were first issued an individual certificate of airworthiness less than 25 years previously.2.  Member States shall ensure that, as from 1 April 2002, all civil subsonic jet aeroplanes operating from airports situated in their territory comply with the provisions of paragraph 1 (a).3.  The territory referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not include the overseas departments referred to in Article 227 (2) of the Treaty. Aeroplanes listed in the Annex shall be exempt from the provisions of Article 2 (1) (a) and (b) in so far as:(a) such subsonic civil jet aeroplanes, granted noise certification to the standards specified in Part II, Chapter 2, Volume 1 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, second edition (1988), operated into Community airports in a  12-month reference period between 1986 and 1990 selected in conjunction with the States concerned; and(b) these aeroplanes were on the register of the developing nations shown in the Annex in the reference year and continue to be operated by natural or legal persons established in those countries. Member States may grant exemptions to the 25-year term specified in Article 2 (1) (b), for not more than three years in total, for aeroplanes in respect of which an airline demonstrates that the pursuit of its operations would otherwise be  adversely affected to an unreasonable extent. 1.  Member States shall exempt from Article 2 (1) aeroplanes which do not meet the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16 but which can be altered to meet those standards, provided that:(a) suitable conversion equipment exists and is actually available for the aeroplane type in question;(b) aeroplanes fitted with such equipment meet the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16, as determined in accordance with the technical standards and procedures accepted by the Member States until such time as common standards and procedures are  established at Community level;(c) the airline has ordered the equipment by 1 April 1994;(d) the airline has accepted the earliest delivery date for such alterations.2.  Member States may grant exemptions from Article 2 for aeroplanes of historical interest. Member States may grant, on the basis of the principle of one exemption for each aeroplane ordered, exemptions from the provisions of Article 2 (1) for aeroplanes where an order has been placed before 1 April 1994 for a replacement aeroplane  that meets the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16, provided that the airline accepted the earlist delivery date. Subject to the approval of the competent authority of a Member State, airlines may not be required under Article 2 (1) to delete from the registers aeroplanes which do not meet the standards of Chapter 3 of Annex 16 at an annual rate  equivalent to more than 10 % of their total civil subsonic jet fleet. In individual cases, Member States may permit the temporary use at airports situated in their territory of aeroplanes which cannot be operated on the basis of the other provisions of this Directive. This exemption should be limited to:(a) aeroplanes whose operations are of such an exceptional nature that it would be unreasonable to withhold a temporary exemption;(b) aeroplanes on non-revenue flights for the purposes of alterations, repair or maintenance. 1.  Any Member State granting exemptions under Article 4 to 7 shall inform the competent authorities of the other Member States and the Commission of the fact and of the grounds for its decision.2.  Any Member State shall recognize the exemptions granted by another Member State in respect of aeroplanes on the registers of the latter. 01.  Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 July 1992.When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by Member  States.2.

That Decision establishes the sanitary conditions for the importation into the Union of live animals excluding equidae, and for the importation of fresh meat of such animals, including equidae, but excluding meat preparations. Annexes I and II to that Decision also set out lists of third countries or parts thereof from which certain live animals and their fresh meat may be imported into the Union as well as models of veterinary certificates.(3) Since the date of adoption of that Decision, a number of new animal health and public health requirements have been laid down in other Community acts, including Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (5) and Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals (6), as well as Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (7), 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 (8), Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (9), and Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (10).(4) Those Community acts constitute a new regulatory framework in this area and Directive 72/462/EEC has also been repealed by Directive 2004/68/EC.(5) Article 20 of Directive 2004/68/EC provides that implementing rules established in accordance with decisions adopted for the import of live animals, meat and meat products pursuant to Directive 72/462/EEC, inter alia Decision 79/542/EEC, are to remain in force until replaced by measures adopted under the new regulatory framework.(6) In addition, Article 4(3) of Directive 2004/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 repealing certain Directives concerning food hygiene and health conditions for the production and placing on the market of certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption (11) provides that pending the adoption of the necessary provisions on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 or Directive 2002/99/EC, the implementing rules adopted on the basis of Directive 72/462/EEC are to continue to apply.(7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (12) contains veterinary certification requirements and other provisions which take account of the new regulatory framework and replace those laid down in Decision 79/542/EEC. As from the date of entry into force of that Regulation, Decision 79/542/EEC will therefore have lapsed and will no longer apply.(8) For the sake of clarity and transparency of Union legislation, Decision 79/542/EEC should be explicitly repealed with effect from that date,.

Furthermore, human cases and even deaths resulting from close contact with infected birds continue to occur in countries around the globe. Therefore, there remains the risk that the disease will spread from third countries to the Member States.(5) Therefore, apart from limiting the direct risk caused by imports of poultry, poultry products and pet birds, it is appropriate to keep in place the biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and to keep in place the early detection systems in areas at particular risk.(6) The period of application of those Decisions should therefore be extended until 31 December 2009.(7) In addition, Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 of 23 March 2007 laying down animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Community and the quarantine conditions thereof (9) repeals Commission Decision 2000/666/EC (10) and replaces the requirements relating to the quarantine of certain birds imported into the Community as laid down in that Decision.(8) The current references in Decision 2007/25/EC to the requirements laid down in Decision 2000/666/EC should therefore be replaced with references to the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 318/2007.(9) Decisions 2005/692/EC, 2005/731/EC, 2005/734/EC and 2007/25/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

In that case it is necessary that the Commission should examine, prior to its decision, the report drawn up by the conciliation body. The time limits laid down for the procedure had not expired, for all the eligible corrections, on the date of adoption of Decision 1999/596/EC of 28 July 1999(4) which last amended Commission Decision 1999/187/EC of 3 February 1999 on the clearance of the accounts presented by the Member States in respect of the expenditure for 1995 of the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(5). Decisions 1999/187/EC and 1999/596/EC did not cover the corresponding amounts of expenditure declared by the Member States concerned in respect of 1995. The conciliation procedure has been completed for all of the financial corrections concerned. As a result, the expenditure relating thereto should be cleared by this Decision.(2) Within the framework of Case C-245/97 before the Court of Justice concerning the overrun of payment time limits in Germany for 1993 in particular and appealing against Commission Decision 97/333/EC of 23 April 1997 on the clearance of the accounts presented by the Member States in respect of the expenditure for 1993 on the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(6), the Commission has stated that it is prepared to accept the evidence of compliance with the time limits for payment provided by the German authorities in respect of aid for the temporary set-aside of arable land and to withdraw the financial correction relating thereto.(3) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 provides that the financial consequences arising from irregularities or negligence are not to be borne by the Community if they are the result of irregularities or negligence attributable to administrative authorities or other bodies of the Member States. Some of those financial consequences which cannot be borne by the Community budget should be included within the scope of this Decision.(4) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial consequences which may be determined in any subsequent clearance of accounts in respect of State aid or infringements for which the procedures initiated under Articles 88 and 226 of the Treaty are now in progress or were terminated after 31 October 1999.(5) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial consequences drawn by the Commission, during a subsequent accounts clearance procedure, from current investigations under way at the time of this Decision, from irregularities within the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 or from judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 31 October 1999 and relating to matters covered by this Decision,. The sections of the Annex to Decision 1999/187/EC relating to Germany and Italy are hereby replaced by the Annex to this Decision. The additional amounts of ITL - 74991756585 and DEM + 485466,68 arising under points 3 of the Annex and chargeable by virtue of this Decision are to be taken into account as part of the expenditure referred to in Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96(7) for the month of April 2000.

As a general rule, all animals on a holding should be covered by the checks. However, for holdings with more than 20 animals the competent authority should be permitted to restrict the checks to an appropriate representative sample of the animals.(3) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 provides that Member States are to submit an annual report to the Commission, in accordance with the model set out in Annex I thereto, giving details of the implementation of those controls.(4) The collection of the data for the annual report should be adequate and proportionate to the objectives pursued. For the sake of a more targeted and proportionate reporting, certain requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003, as well as the model set out in Annex I thereto, should be simplified to better provide with the relevant information of the implementation of the controls.(5) Regulation (EC) No 1082/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Funds,.

42025,"2013/370/EU: Council Decision of 21 June 2013 giving notice to Belgium to take measures for the deficit reduction judged necessary in order to remedy the situation of excessive deficit. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 126(9) thereof,Having regard to the recommendation from the European Commission,Whereas:(1) According to Article 126 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.(3) On 2 December 2009, the Council decided (1), in accordance with Article 126(6) TFEU, that an excessive deficit existed in Belgium. On 2 December 2009, and also on the basis of a recommendation by the Commission, the Counciladopted a Recommendation (""Council Recommendation of 2 December 2009"") to correct it by 2012, in accordance with Article 126(7) TFEU and Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (2). In order to bring the general government deficit below 3 % of GDP in a credible and sustainable manner, the Belgian authorities were recommended to: (a) implement the deficit-reducing measures in 2010 as planned in the draft budget for 2010 and strengthen the planned fiscal effort in 2011 and 2012; (b) ensure an average annual fiscal effort of ¾ % of GDP over the period 2010-2012, which was also to contribute to bringing the government gross debt ratio back on a declining path that approaches the reference value at a satisfactory pace by restoring an adequate level of the primary surplus; (c) specify the measures that are necessary to achieve the correction of the excessive deficit by 2012, cyclical conditions permitting, and to accelerate the reduction of the deficit if economic or budgetary conditions turned out better than expected at the time the EDP recommendations were issued; and (d) strengthen the monitoring mechanisms to ensure that fiscal targets are respected. In its recommendations, the Council established a deadline of 2 June 2010 for effective action to be taken in line with the provisions of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97.(4) According to the provisions of Article 126(8) TFEU, the Council decided on 21 June 2013 that Belgium did not take effective action in response to the Council Recommendation of 2 December 2009 within the period laid down therein.(5) According to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, if actual data pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 indicate that an excessive deficit has not been corrected by a participating Member State within the time-limits specified in a recommendation issued under Article 126(7) TFEU, the Council is immediately to take a decision under Article 126(9) TFEU, that is, give notice to the Member State to take, within a specified time-limit, measures for the deficit reduction which is judged necessary by the Council in order to remedy the situation.(6) The Commission services 2013 spring forecast, projects real GDP to remain flat in 2013 with domestic demand continuing the contraction initiated in 2012. While household consumption is likely to stagnate, investment is expected to drop, driven by an economy-wide lack of confidence, a depressed construction sector, tightening credit conditions and an industry featuring ample spare capacity. Both private consumption and investment are anticipated to gain pace only as of 2014 when domestic demand would become the main driver behind a real GDP growth rate of 1,2 %. Against the background of this more robust domestic demand, import growth is assumed to catch up with export growth. This would limit further gains from net exports in 2014, contrary to 2013 when positive net foreign demand growth is expected to prevent GDP from contracting.(7) According to the Commission services 2013 spring forecast, the general government deficit is projected to decrease to 2,9 % of GDP in 2013. The initial 2013 budget targeted a nominal deficit of 2,15 % of GDP. However, since the drafting of the budget, the official growth projections underpinning the budget (+0,7 %, in line with the Commission services 2012 autumn forecast) have been substantially revised downwards, to 0,2 % in the Stability Programme for 2012 to 2016 and 0,0 % in that spring forecast. Therefore, the Government abandoned the nominal deficit target and replaced it by a commitment to improve the structural balance by 1,0 % of GDP. In March 2013, the Government took additional measures amounting to 0,2 % of GDP on top of around 0,75 % of GDP of measures taken in the initial 2013 budget, which have been taken into account in the Commission services 2013 spring forecast. This forecast projects a structural improvement of ¾ % of GDP in 2013, including a ¼ percentage point contribution from lower interest expenditure.(8) At unchanged policy, the Commission services 2013 spring forecast projects the deficit to rise again above the reference value in 2014, to 3,1% of GDP, despite the projected growth above potential. This new rise is due to the autonomous rising trend in social transfers and the fact that the 2013 budget also included around 0,4% of GDP of one-off and temporary revenues, such as a fiscal amnesty, the sale of telecom licenses and an exceptionally high dividend from the National Bank of Belgium.(9) Public debt rose from 84 % of GDP in 2007 to almost 100 % of GDP in 2012. The dynamics of the deficit and of GDP account for around 6,5 percentage points of the increase, while exogenous factors amount to around 9 percentage points, mainly due to rescue operations in the financial sector in the form of equity injections. According to the Commission services 2013 spring forecast, it is expected to increase to over 102 % of GDP in 2014. The Government intends to sell financial assets in order to keep the debt below 100 % of GDP in 2013. In this context, the Government announced recently the sale of Royal Park Investment (the special purpose vehicle created in the context of the Fortis rescue operation) which would reduce the debt level by 0,2% of GDP.(10) The European Commission Fiscal Sustainability Report 2012 shows that Belgium does not appear to face a risk of fiscal stress in the short term. However, fiscal sustainability risks are high in a medium- to long-term perspective. The long-term budgetary impact of ageing in Belgium is well above the EU average, which is mainly the result of a rapid increase in pension expenditure as a share of GDP over the coming decades. Although the December 2011 pension reform was an important positive step, additional measures appear necessary to fully restore the long-term sustainability of public finances.(11) Measures taken in the initial 2013 budget and the March 2013 budget control are currently expected to bring the deficit below 3 % of GDP in 2013. However, according to the Commission services 2013 spring forecast, the safety margin against breaching the Treaty reference value is very narrow. Moreover, the correction is currently not yet sustainable.(12) Against the background of high uncertainties regarding economic and budgetary developments, the budgetary target recommended for the final year of the correction period should be set at a level clearly below the reference value, in order to guarantee an effective and lasting achievement of the correction within the requested deadline.(13) Therefore, a further reduction of the 2013 deficit to 2,7 % of GDP is justified, which is consistent with a structural improvement of 1 % of GDP in 2013. To this end, additional measures with an estimated impact of ¼ % of GDP are considered necessary, also in view of possible negative second round effects.(14) Belgium has made a committment in its Stability Programme for 2012 to 2016 to achieve a balanced budget in structural terms in 2015, before reaching its medium-term budgetary objective (MTO) of a surplus of 0,75 % of GDP in structural terms in 2016. After submitting the Stability Programme for 2012 to 2016, in a letter sent to the Commission on 28 May 2013, the Belgian authorities committed themselves to targetting a higher fiscal effort at ¾ % of GDP in 2014. Also, in view of the high level of debt this is an appropriate effort and it will comply with the debt reduction benchmark. After 2016, Belgium should continue to make sufficient progress towards its MTO including meeting the expenditure benchmark, and towards compliance with the debt reduction benchmark.(15) Furthermore, Belgium should strengthen the long-term sustainability of the pension and social security systems. In this respect, additional efforts are needed to close the gap between the effective and the statutory retirement ages, while measures to link the statutory retirement age to developments in life expectancy would allow safeguarding the sustainability of the pension system in the long term.(16) In addition, Belgium should adopt explicit coordination arrangements to ensure that budgetary targets are binding at federal level and sub-federal levels within a medium-term planning perspective, including through the prompt adoption of a rule on the general government budget balance/surplus that complies with the requirements of the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union.(17) Finally, to ensure the success of the fiscal consolidation strategy, it will also be important to back the fiscal consolidation by comprehensive structural reforms, in line with the Council recommendations addressed to Belgium in the context of the European Semester and in particular those related to the Macroeconomic Imbalances Procedure,. 1.   Belgium shall put an end to the present excessive deficit situation by 2013.2.   Belgium shall reduce the headline deficit to 2,7 % of GDP in 2013. This nominal improvement is consistent with an improvement in the structural balance of 1 % of GDP in 2013, based on the Commission services 2013 spring forecast.3.   Belgium shall adopt and fully implement all the consolidation measures incorporated in the 2013 budget as well as additional measures of a structural nature to achieve the recommended structural effort for 2013.4.   Belgium shall stand ready to adopt further measures if risks to the budgetary plans materialise. Budgetary consolidation measures shall secure a lasting improvement in the general government structural balance in a growth-friendly manner. 1.   Belgium shall submit to the Commission, by 21 September 2013, a report outlining the measures taken to comply with this Decision. The Commission shall evaluate this report with a view to assessing progress made towards the correction of the excessive deficit.2.   Belgium shall submit further quarterly reports to the Commission, in which it examines progress made in complying with this Decision.3.   Belgium shall submit a report by 31 December 2013 on the intended implementation of the first recommendation issued under the European Semester regarding the adoption of explicit coordination arrangements to ensure that budgetary targets are binding at federal level and sub-federal levels within a medium-term planning perspective.4.   Belgium shall present structural measures for 2014 which ensure a sustainable correction of the excessive deficit and appropriate progress towards its medium-term objective.

36483,"2009/377/EC: Commission Decision of 5 May 2009 adopting implementing measures for the consultation mechanism and the other procedures referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Visa Information System (VIS) and the exchange of data between Member States on short-stay visas (VIS Regulation) (notified under document number C(2009) 2359). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 concerning the Visa Information System (VIS) and the exchange of data between Member States on short-stay visas (VIS Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 45(2)(e) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 provides rules on the use of the VIS for consultation and requests for documents. In implementation of Article 16 of the VIS Regulation, measures should be adopted to set out rules for the exchange of the messages transmitted by the infrastructure of the VIS (VIS Mail Specifications). These messages shall not be recorded in the VIS and the personal data transmitted shall be used solely for the consultation of central visa authorities and consular cooperation.(2) Subject to further measures adopted by the date referred to in Article 46 of the VIS Regulation concerning the integration of the technical functionalities of the Schengen Consultation Network, the VIS Mail Specifications should define four types of messages which may be used from the start of operations of VIS until the date referred to in Article 46 of the VIS Regulation. These should include messages related to consular cooperation (Article 16(3) of the VIS Regulation), messages related to the transmission of requests to the competent visa authority to forward copies of travel documents and other documents supporting the application and to the transmission of electronic copies of those documents (Article 16(3) of the VIS Regulation), messages that data processed in the VIS are inaccurate or that data were processed in the VIS contrary to the provisions of the VIS Regulation (Article 24(2) of the VIS Regulation) and messages that an applicant has acquired the nationality of a Member State (Article 25(2) of the VIS Regulation).(3) In accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, on 13 October 2008 Denmark decided to implement Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 in Danish law. Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 is thus binding upon Denmark in international law. Denmark has therefore an obligation under international law to implement this Decision.(4) In accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (2), the United Kingdom has not taken part in the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 and is not bound by it or subject to its application as it constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis. The United Kingdom is therefore not an addressee of this Commission Decision.(5) In accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland’s request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (3), Ireland has not taken part in the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 and is not bound by it or subject to its application as it constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis. Ireland is therefore not an addressee of this Commission Decision.(6) This Decision constitutes an act building on the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession and Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession.(7) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters’ association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (4), which falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5).(8) As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed by the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the latter’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis which falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (6) on the conclusion of that Agreement on behalf of the European Community.(9) As regards Liechtenstein, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis which falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point B of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/261/EC of 28 February 2008 on the signature, on behalf of the European Community, and on the provisional application of certain provisions of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (7).(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 51 of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (8),. The implementing measures for the consultation mechanism and the other procedures referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 for the phase from the start of operations of VIS until the date referred to in Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 shall be as set out in the Annex. This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Republic, Romania, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden..

The VIS Mail mechanism, including the central mail relay and the national mail servers, needs to be in place in case at least one Member State intends to use the mechanism in Phase 1 to ensure that this Member State is able to transmit such messages (2). During Phase 1 of the VIS Mail operation, VISION shall be used in parallel.In Phase 2, when all the Schengen visa issuing posts are connected to VIS, the VIS Mail mechanism shall replace the Schengen Consultation Network from the date determined in accordance with Article 46 of the VIS Regulation. As from this date all types of messages shall be exchanged via the VIS infrastructure by means of the VIS Mail mechanism.2.   SMTP Mail Exchange InfrastructureThe SMTP mail exchange shall use the VIS infrastructure, which includes national interfaces and the sTESTA network, and shall be based on national mail servers exchanging messages via a central mail relay infrastructure.The central SMTP mail relay infrastructure shall be developed and installed in the VIS Central Unit and Back-up Central Unit sites. The management and monitoring of the mail relay including logging shall be provided by the Management Authority.The national SMTP mail server infrastructure shall be prepared by the Member States. The national mail server infrastructure needs to be protected against unauthorised access to the messages.3.   Application SolutionThe VIS Mail operations shall start in Phase 1 with business processes developed taking into account the technical solution of VISION to ensure a smooth switch-over between Phases 1 and 2 when VIS Mail will replace VISION.Technical specifications describing the functionalities of the VIS Mail mechanism shall be without prejudice to the legal aspects of consular cooperation and visa procedures.(1)  This network is used for consultations between Member States, including representation, and for the exchange of information that a visa with limited territorial validity (VLTV) has been issued.(2)  The fact that the VIS Mail mechanism may be used concerns the optional use of the mechanism itself, not the availability of the tool, which is then obligatory.

2373,"83/298/EEC: Council Decision of 16 May 1983 concerning a Community loan in favour of the French Republic. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 of 16 March 1981 adjusting the Community loan mechanism designed to support the balance of payments of Member States (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission which has for this purpose consulted the Monetary Committee,Whereas the French authorities have decided to put into effect an economic policy programme whose nature is such as to reduce the rate of inflation, to re-establish a sustainable balance of payments position and to ensure a better convergence of economic policies within the Community while respecting the obligations which flow from the Treaty; whereas they have presented this programme by way of support for their request;Whereas this programme includes in particular the following measures:1. Reduction of the public deficits, notably by setting a limit of 3 % of GDP to the budget deficits of 1983 and 1984, the re-establishment and preservation of equilibrium in the accounts of social security and unemployment insurance in 1983 and 1984 and a reduction in the deficits of the large national enterprises.2. Reduction of the target for the rate of growth of the money supply for 1983 from 10 to 9 %, which will result in a marked reduction in the rate of domestic credit expansion.3. Encouragement for the development of savings.4. Perseverance with efforts to elimininate indexation both of costs and prices throughout the economy;Whereas, without prejudice to the question of their compatibility with Community rules, the restrictions on the allocation of foreign currency for tourist purposes decided upon on 28 March 1983 will be abolished by 31 December 1983 at the latest in accordance with the programme presented by the French authorities;Whereas the implementation of this programme is accompanied by long-term measures which seek to strengthen the competitiveness of firms and to create conditions which will favour a recovery of investment in the sectors subject to international competition;Whereas a Community loan will assist in the adjustment of the French economy;Whereas greater efforts to secure convergence within the Community would help to reinforce the cohesion and the stability of the European Monetary System,. The Community shall grant to the French Republic, under Regulation (EEC) No 682/81, a loan of 4 000 million ECU or the equivalent amount in other currencies. The loan will be made in one amount. It will be made available to the French Republic as soon as the borrowing operations are completed.

The new value should therefore be determined by taking into account only those mass values that it has been possible to verify by the manufacturers concerned, whilst excluding values from the calculation that were obviously incorrect, i.e. values exceeding 2 840 kg or lower than 500 kg as well as values relating to vehicles that did not fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. The new value is moreover based on the weighted average taking into account the number of new registrations in each of the reference years.(4) Against that background, the M0 value to be applied from 1 January 2016 should be increased by 20,4 kg from 1 372,0 to 1 392,4,.

680,"87/303/EEC: Commission Decision of 14 January 1987 on an FIM (Industrial Modernization Fund) loan to a brewery (Only the French text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments in accordance with the above provision, and having regard to those comments,Whereas:IOn 30 April 1985 the French Government informed the Commission that in 1984 it had granted aid to a brewery.The aid had been awarded in the form of an FIM (Industrial Modernization Fund) loan of FF 40 million towards an investment of FF 181 million which the recipient had undertaken in 1984 and 1985 with a view mainly to modernizing its brewhouse and installing outdoor tanks.By Decision 85/378/EEC (1) the Commission had made clear to the French authorities that the granting of FIM loans constituted aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and made the granting of such loans subject to the obligation to notify to it in advance all significant awards and to inform it also of significant awards made before that Decision was adopted. It had added that the latter type of award constituted unlawful aid which might have to be recovered.At that time such loans were granted at a rate of 9,25 % over a maximum period of 10 years, with a principal repayment holiday of up to two years. They were intended to support projects of an innovative nature including those for the installation of high-technology machinery and equipment and the development of office technology and biotechnology.IIAfter scrutinizing the aid on the basis of an analysis of the market in the products concerned and the information furnished by the French authorities, the Commission decided, on 18 December 1985, to open the procedure provided for in Article 93 (2) of the Treaty in respect of the aid consisting of the FF 40 million FIM loan to the brewery on grounds of the effect the aid would have on trade between Member States and on competition between the recipient and its rivals in the Community.As part of that procedure, the Commission gave the French Government, the other Member States and interested parties, other than Member States, notice to submit their comments.On 22 May 1986 the French Government answered the Commission's letter of 29 January 1986 which had informed it of the opening of the Article 93 (2) procedure.It stated that the FIM was concerned only with those investments undertaken by the brewery which were truly innovative. The purpose of the investments was to introduce innovative techniques into the brewery's production process. This was especially the case with the following:- the brewery process, in which a fully automated brewhouse incorporating advanced technology was added on to an existing brewhouse: the two could be operated either simultaneously or separately by a single person; a steam condenser made it possible to recover 54 % of the energy used in boiling,- the high-speed bottling process featuring a new pallet unloader which removed bottles under vacuum and coordination of the various bottle conveyors according to the output of each of the machines on the line and the delivery rate of each of the conveyors, thereby ensuring optimum throughput overall.The innovations involved in the brewery's investment programme were process innovations. The technological equity loan which was helping to finance them was therefore entirely consistent with the object of the FIM as notified to the Commission.Account also had to be taken of the prospective energy savings.In short, the award of the FIM loan to the brewery would not distort competition between Member States but would, on the contrary, contribute to the development of economic activities in a manner in keeping with the European interest.IIIThe FIM loan granted by the French Government comprises elements of aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty because it relieves the recipient, through State resources, of part of the cost of the investment which it would normally have to bear.Between 1975 and 1985 the annual consumption of beer per head either stagnated or fell in all Member States except Italy. In Germany and the United Kingdom, where some 65 % of the Community's beer is produced, consumption fell from 147,8 and 117,6 litres per head respectively in 1975 to 145,8 and 108,9 litres in 1985. Over the same period beer sales in the EEC (minus Greece), after having risen slightly in 1980 to 232 million hectolitres, fell back in 1985 to the 1975 level of 228 million hectolitres. In terms of volume, external trade between Member States (minus Greece) accounts for about 4 % of sales and, with seasonal variations, changed very little between 1975 and 1985.In France, between 1975 and 1985, beer sales remained fairly static at around 21 to 23 million hectolitres, although in 1985 they fell to 19,3 million hectolitres. This market accounts for approximately 9 % of all sales in the Community (minus Greece). Annual consumption per head, which is considerably lower than the Community average (84 litres), was down to 38,2 litres in 1985 compared with 44,9 litres in 1975. France traditionally imports just over 10 % of its requirements from the other Member States. In volume terms, these imports have varied little during the past 10 years, at between 2 and 2,5 million hectolitres. French exports to other Member States declined over the same period and represent about 1,5 % of French production.The brewery in receipt of the FIM loan is wholly owned by a French group whose beer production accounts for over 50 % of total French production and which participates in intra-Community trade in beer. The brewery itself holds about 20 % of the French market and in 1984 and 1985 it suffered a drop in sales revenue compared with 1983.This seems to be due above all to the fact that the consumption of table beer is steadily declining in France and that such beer accounts for a large proportion of its sales.IVIn view of the above considerations, the situation in the relevant market and the position occupied by the brewery in that market, the aid awarded by the French Government is likely to affect trade between Member States and distort competition within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the Treaty by favouring the brewery and the production of French beer.Where financial assistance from the State strengthens the position of certain firms compared with that of others competing with them in the Community, it must be deemed to affect those other firms.Article 92 (1) provides that aid having the features set out therein is in principle incompatible with the common market. As far as the exceptions to this principle are concerned, those provided for in Article 92 (2) of the Treaty are inapplicable in this case owing to the nature and objectives of the aid.Article 92 (3) of the Treaty provides that aid which may be considered compatible with the common market must be viewed in the context of the Community as a whole and not in that of a single Member State. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the common market and take into account the principles laid down in Article 3 (f) of the Treaty, the exceptions to the principle of Article 92 (1) set out in paragraph 3 of that Article must be strictly construed in examining any aid scheme or any individual aid award.In particular, they may be applied only where the Commission establishes that, without the aid, the free play of market forces would not by itself induce potential recipients to act in such a manner as to contribute to the attainment of one of the objectives sought.To apply the exceptions to cases which do not contribute to the attainment of such an objective, or where the aid is not essential to that end, would be tantamount to granting undue advantages to the industries or firms of certain Member States, the financial position of which would be artificially bolstered, and might affect trade between Member States and distort competition without this being justified in any way by the common interest referred to in Article 92 (3). In view of the above, the aid in question does not fall within any of the categories of exception provided for in Article 92 (3). As to the exceptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) concerning aid to promote or facilitate the development of certain areas, the standard of living is abnormally low in none of the areas where the investments are to be carried out and there is no serious under employment there within the meaning ot the exception provided for in subparagraph (a).As far as the exception in subparagraph (c) is concerned, the aid granted by the French Government is not likely to facilitate the development of certain economic areas within the meaning of that provision.FIM loans are not as a rule granted to firms doing business in areas determined in advance.They are not, therefore, designed to further the development of certain areas. In the present case, the French Government has in any case not put forward such a reason to justify the award of the FF 40 million loan to the brewery.As to the exceptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (b), it is clear that the aid is intended neither to promote the execution of an important project of common European interest nor to remedy a serious disturbance in the French economy.Lastly, as to the exception provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) in favour of aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities, the FIM loan in question is chiefly aimed at modernizing and extending production plant.In its reply to the Commission's letter of 29 January 1986, the French Government stated that the FIM loan recipient had in fact carried out investments in 1984 and 1985 totalling FF 690 million. Of that figure, the FIM had subsidized only investments of an innovative nature costing FF 181 million. The brewery had, moreover, totally automated two brewhouses enabling them to be operated by a single person, and the high-speed operation of the bottling plant helped achieve an optimum throughput.Even if the Commission were to acknowledge that such investments are innovative, it would still have to point out that they form only a small part of the total investment of FF 181 million. The outdoor tanks element alone - which the French Government does not claim to be innovative - accounts for more than FF 100 million, whereas the brewhouse investment respresents only FF 34 million.What is more, automated brewing processes have already been installated in rival breweries in other Member States without government support. The same applies to the bottling plant.As part of a drive to modernize its plants, the brewery in question has closed three facilities with a capacity in excess of one million hectolitres. At the same time, the capacity of the main plant is being increased by one million hectolitres. It stands to reason that, when installing this new capacity, the brewery will not resort to outdated technology but will try to acquire machinery and equipment incorporating the latest technology. This technology is by no means so innovative that it justifies the granting of aid.On the question of the energy savings achieved as a result of the abovementioned investments by the French brewery, it should be noted first of all that use of the most efficient technology and materials leads almost inevitably to reduced energy consumption. Secondly, from such data as are available on their operations, it is apparent that the brewery's competitors conduct research into energy savings on a regular basis and put the results of this research to good use when the opportunitity arises, without the help of State aid.To agree to the FF 40 million FIM loan being granted to the French brewery would be to inflict a disadvantage on its competitors which might take the form of an unjustified fall in their sales.Consequently, aid for the modernization and extension of the plants concerned does not satisfy the requirements of development of the industry without affecting trade to an extent contrary to the common interest within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (c) of the Treaty.In Decision 85/378/EEC, the Commission drew the attention of the French authorities to the fact that aid granted in the form of FIM loans prior to that Decision had to be considered illegal and that it might be recovered in significant cases. The FF 40 million FIM loan granted to a brewery must be considered a significant case having regard to the thresholds laid down in Article 2 of the said Decision. The French Government's intention of granting it to the recipient ought therefore to have been notified to the Commission in advance in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the Treaty. By not informing the Commission until 30 April 1985 of the actual grant of the FIM loan, the French authorities have failed to fulfil their obligation to notify this significant case at the proposal stage and have thus infringed the procedural rules laid down in Article 93 (3). Moreover, the aid is incompatible with the common market for the reasons set out above,.

However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.(6) Aluminium salicylate, basic and omeprazole should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(7) In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, tulathromycin and fenvalerate should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(8) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC(3) of the European Parliament and of the Council to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,.

40919,"Commission Directive 2012/2/EU of 9 February 2012 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide and basic copper carbonate as active substances in Annex I thereto  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide and basic copper carbonate for use in product type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide and basic copper carbonate have been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product type 8.(3) France was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority reports, together with recommendations, to the Commission in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 on 10 May 2007 for copper (II) oxide, on 19 February 2008 for copper (II) hydroxide, and on 10 May 2007 and 19 February 2008 for basic copper carbonate.(4) The competent authority reports were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the reviews were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 September 2011, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide or basic copper carbonate may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide and basic copper carbonate in Annex I to that Directive.(6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at Union level. It is therefore appropriate to require that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to human populations and to environmental compartments that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.(7) In view of the risks identified for human health, it is appropriate to require that safe operational procedures are established for products containing copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide or basic copper carbonate and authorised for industrial use, and that those products are used with appropriate personal protective equipment, unless it can be demonstrated in the application for product authorisation that risks to industrial users can be reduced to an acceptable level by other means.(8) Copper (II) hydroxide and basic copper carbonate were also evaluated for application by dipping, and should, in view of the risks identified for human health, not be authorised for that use, unless data is submitted to demonstrate that the product will meet the requirements of Article 5 and Annex VI, if necessary by the application of appropriate mitigation measures. For copper (II) oxide, application by dipping was not assessed, and it follows from the requirement referred to in recital 6 that products cannot be authorised for such application unless the authorising Member State assesses it.(9) Unacceptable risks for the environment were identified in the case of wood treated with copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide or basic copper carbonate and used for outdoor constructions near or above water (the ‘bridge’ scenario in use class 3, as defined by OECD (3)). For basic copper carbonate and copper (II) oxide, unacceptable risks were also found for in-service use of treated wood in contact with fresh water (use class 4b as defined by OECD). It is therefore appropriate to require that products are not authorised for the treatment of wood intended for those uses, unless data is submitted demonstrating that the product will meet the requirements of both Article 5 of and Annex VI to Directive 98/8/EC, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures. For copper (II) hydroxide, wood in contact with fresh water was not assessed, and it follows from the requirement referred to in recital 6 above that products cannot be authorised for that use unless the authorising Member State assesses it.(10) In view of the risks identified for the aquatic and soil compartments, it is appropriate to require that freshly treated timber is stored after treatment under shelter or on impermeable hard standing, or both, and that any losses from the application of products used as wood preservatives and containing copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide or basic copper carbonate are collected for reuse or disposal.(11) The provisions of this Directive should be applied at the same time in all Member States in order to ensure equal treatment on the Union market of biocidal products containing the active substances copper (II) oxide, copper (II) hydroxide and basic copper carbonate, and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(12) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(13) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(14) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(15) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 January 2013 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 February 2014.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.

39060,"2011/95/EU: Commission Decision of 11 February 2011 authorising a method for grading pig carcasses in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (notified under document C(2011) 750). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43, point (m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) Point B.IV, paragraph 1, of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that, for the classification of pig carcasses, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means grading methods authorised by the Commission, which methods may only be 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 is defined in Article 23(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (2).(2) The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is of the opinion that the update of the national formula is absolutely necessary in order to take into account the breeding progress during the past 20 years. The last update of the lean meat equation of the grading instrument (HGP-2) dates back to 1989 and was authorised by Commission Decision 89/51/EEC (3).(3) The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has therefore asked the Commission to authorise one method for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which this method is based, the results of its dissection trial and the equation used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008.(4) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled. This grading method should therefore be authorised in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.(5) No modification of the apparatus or grading method may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.(6) Decision 89/51/EEC should therefore be repealed. However, in view of technical circumstances while introducing new devices and new equation the method for grading pig carcasses authorised under Decision 89/51/EEC should continue to apply up to 28 February 2011.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,. The use of the following method is hereby authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to point B.IV, paragraph 1, of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’ and the assessment method related thereto, details of which are given in the Annex. Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment method shall not be authorised. Decision 89/51/EEC is repealed.However, up to 28 February 2011, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg may continue to apply the method for grading pig carcasses authorised under Decision 89/51/EEC.

Grading of pig carcases shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’.2. The apparatus shall be equipped with a probe of 5,95 millimetres diameter (and of 6,3 millimetres at the blade on top of the probe) containing a photodiode (Siemens LED of the type LYU 260-EO) and photodetector of the type Silonex SLCD-61N1 and having an operating distance of between 0 and 120 millimetres. The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimated lean meat content by means of the HGP 4 itself or a computer linked to it.3. The lean meat content of the carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:4. where:LMP = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,F = the thickness of back-fat (including rind) in millimetres, measured at 7 centimetres off the midline of the split carcass, between the second and third last ribs,M = the thickness of the dorsal muscle in millimetres, measured at the same time and in the same place as F.

36930,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 94/2009 of 30 January 2009 adopting temporary exceptional support measure for the pigmeat and beef market in form of a disposal scheme in Ireland. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 191, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) The situation of the pigmeat market in Ireland is particularly critical taken into account the recent findings of elevated levels of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in pigmeat originating in Ireland. The competent authorities have taken various measures to address the situation.(2) Contaminated animal feed was delivered to pig and cattle farms in Ireland. The affected pig farms constitute 7 % of the total pig production in Ireland. The contaminated feed constitutes a very large portion of the pig diet resulting in elevated levels of dioxins in meat from pigs from the affected farms. Given the difficulties in tracing back the pigmeat to farms and given the elevated levels of dioxin found in the affected pigmeat, the Irish authorities decided to recall, as a precautionary measure, all pigmeat and pigmeat products from the market.(3) Given the exceptional circumstances and the practical difficulties that the pigmeat market in Ireland is experiencing, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008 of 17 December 2008 adopting emergency support measures for the pigmeat market in form of private storage aid in Ireland (2).(4) The dioxin contamination and the application of the precautionary measure to recall all pigmeat and pigmeat products is causing very serious disturbance of the pigmeat market in Ireland. This situation is directly linked to a loss of consumer confidence arising from potential risks to public health. In addition, some cattle remained on farms where samples from other cattle had shown elevated levels of dioxin. Therefore, the Irish authorities have requested the Commission to provide further emergency support measures for the pigmeat and beef market in Ireland.(5) The European Council of 11 and 12 December 2008 invited the Commission to support farmers and slaughterhouses in Ireland by way of co-financed measures to remove relevant animals and products from the market.(6) Section I of Chapter II of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for exceptional support measures. In particular Article 44 thereof provides that the Commission may adopt exceptional market support measures in case of animal diseases and Article 45 provides that, with regard to the poultrymeat and eggs sectors, the Commission may adopt exceptional market support measures in order to take account of serious market disturbances directly attributed to a loss in consumer confidence due to public health, or animal health risks. In order to resolve the practical problems arising from the current situation of the pigmeat and beef market in Ireland, it is appropriate to take a temporary exceptional measure to support that market, similar to those laid down in Section I.(7) That exceptional market support measure should be in the form of a disposal scheme of certain pigs and cattle that come from farms that have used contaminated feed. Furthermore, it is appropriate to provide for a disposal scheme of pigmeat products that are blocked in or under the responsibility and control of slaughterhouses in Ireland, and for which it is uncertain to what extent these products have come from pigs that came from farms that used contaminated feed. The measure should remove the possibility that products from animals that may contain elevated levels of contamination enter the food or feed chain.(8) That exceptional market support measure should be partly financed by the Community. The contribution of the Community in the compensation should be expressed as maximum average amounts per animal or tonne of pigmeat, for a limited quantity of the products concerned, while the Irish authorities should be required to determine the compensation price and thus the amount of the part-financing based on the market value of the animals and the products compensated for within specified limits.(9) The competent Irish authorities should apply all controls and surveillance measures required for the proper application of the exceptional measure provided for in this Regulation and inform the Commission accordingly.(10) Given that for reasons of animal welfare, public health and market supply, the Irish authorities had to start the disposal of the animals as well as of the products concerned as of 13 December 2008, it is necessary to provide that this Regulation should apply as of that date.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. ScopeAn exceptional market support measure for Ireland is hereby introduced in the form of a disposal scheme for:(a) pigs that had been on farms that used contaminated animal feed between 1 September 2008 and 6 December 2008;(b) cattle that remain on farms where samples from other cattle have tested positive for elevated levels of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs);(c) fresh, chilled or frozen pigmeat which is coming from animals that had been slaughtered no later than 6 December 2008 in Ireland and which is stored in Ireland:(i) in the slaughterhouse; or(ii) outside the slaughterhouse, under the responsibility and the control of the slaughterhouse, subject to the slaughterhouse demonstrating to the satisfaction of the competent Irish authorities. Disposal of animals and meat1.   Ireland is authorised to compensate for the disposal of the animals and the meat referred to in Article 1, with a view to the slaughtering and full destruction of these animals and their relevant by-products and the destruction of the meat in compliance with the relevant veterinary legislation.The destruction of live animals shall be accomplished by delivery to a slaughterhouse followed, after counting and weighing, by transport of all carcases to a rendering plant, where all materials shall be rendered.Where animals are unfit for transport to a slaughterhouse, the animals may be killed on farm.Destruction of meat will be effected after weighing and transport to a rendering plant, where all materials shall be rendered.These operations shall be carried out under the permanent supervision of the competent Irish authorities, using standardised checklists incorporating weighing and counting sheets.2.   The compensation to be paid by the competent Irish authorities for the disposal of the animals referred to in points (a) and (b) of Article 1 and of the products referred to in point (c) of that Article shall not exceed the market value of the animals and products concerned at the moment prior to the decision of the Irish authorities to recall, as a precautionary measure, all pigmeat and pigmeat products from the market.In order to avoid any over-compensation, the compensation paid by the competent Irish authorities shall take into account any other type of compensation to which the suppliers of animals or slaughterhouses may be entitled to.3.   The compensation for the products to be disposed of under this Regulation shall be paid by the competent Irish authorities after the reception of the products by the rendering plant and after controls in accordance with Article 4(1)(c). Compensation paid under this Regulation by the competent Irish authorities shall be eligible for Community part-financing after the full destruction of the products concerned has been established on the basis of all necessary documentary and physical checks.Point (a) of the third subparagraph of Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.Only expenditure declared in respect of July 2009 at the latest shall be eligible for Community part financing. Financing1.   For each fully destroyed animal and meat, the Community shall provide part-financing equivalent to 50 % of the expenditure incurred under Article 2(1).

However, Annex II in principle only takes into account adaptations to acts adopted before the cut-off date for the accession negotiations, i.e. 1 November 2002.(2) It is however necessary to make additional adaptations to the acquis, in particular to acts adopted after that date as well as to acts which could not be included in Annex II or which, because of changed circumstances, require new adaptations.(3) Commission Directive 2001/32/EC of 8 May 2001 recognising certain protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community and repealing Directive 92/76/EC (2), was amended on several occasions after 1 November 2002 in respect of certain provisions that were adapted by the Act of Accession of 2003.(4) In the interest of clarity it is appropriate to establish an updated complete list of such zones. Directive 2001/32/EC should, therefore, be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. Directive 2001/32/EC is amended as follows:1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:2. The Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision. This Decision shall apply subject to and as from the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia.

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should be amended in order to bring it into conformity with the international obligations of the European Union under the GATT 1994. The required amendments are in accordance with Council Decision 97/359/EC of 24 March 1997 concerning the elimination of duties on information technology products (3), which approved the ITA.(2) Following the WTO Panel Report, digital copying should not constitute photocopying under the GATT 1994 and copying speed should not be the sole classification criterion. Subheading 8443 31 of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 and the corresponding duty rate should therefore be amended accordingly.(3) The wording of subheading 8528 71 15 of the CN (previously 8528 71 13) should be amended in order to include set-top boxes which, besides the function of communication, may be capable of performing the additional functions of recording or reproducing, provided that, as a result, they do not lose the essential character of a set-top box which has a communication function.(4) This regulation should enter into force on 1 July 2011 at the end of the reasonable period of time agreed by the European Union with the complaining parties for the European Union to bring itself into conformity with its WTO obligations.(5) As recommendations in reports adopted by the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body only have prospective effect, this regulation should not have retroactive effects nor provide interpretative guidance on a retroactive basis. Since it cannot operate to provide interpretative guidance for classification of goods which have been released for free circulation prior to 1 July 2011 it should not serve as a basis for the reimbursement of any duties paid prior to that date.(6) The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,. Part Two, Section XVI of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2011.It shall have neither retroactive effect nor provide interpretative guidance on a retroactive basis.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

35703,"Council Regulation (EC) No 380/2008 of 18 April 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1030/2002 laying down a uniform format for residence permits for third-country nationals. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 63(3)(a) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Whereas:(1) The Amsterdam Treaty aims to establish progressively an area of freedom, security and justice and confers the right of initiative on the Commission in order to take the relevant measures on a harmonised immigration policy.(2) It is essential that the uniform format for residence permits should contain all the necessary information and meet very high technical standards, in particular as regards safeguards against counterfeiting and falsification. This will contribute to the objective of preventing and fighting against illegal immigration and illegal residence. It must also be suited to use by all the Member States.(3) The integration of biometric identifiers is an important step towards the use of new elements, which establish a more reliable link between the holder and the residence permit as an important contribution to ensuring that it is protected against fraudulent use. The specifications set out in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) document No 9303 Part 3 on Size 1 and 2 machine readable official documents should be taken into account.(4) Furthermore, the vast majority of Member States apply the principle of one person one document, which enhances security even further. It should be examined whether this principle should be rendered mandatory.(5) At its meeting in Thessaloniki on 19 and 20 June 2003, the European Council stressed that a coherent approach was needed in the EU on biometric identifiers or biometric data, which would result in harmonised solutions for documents for third country nationals, EU citizens’ passports and information systems.(6) The use of new technologies such as e-government and digital signature for access to e-services should be facilitated by giving Member States the possibility to use the storage medium used for the incorporation of biometric identifiers or an additional storage medium for that purpose in residence permits.(7) The purpose of this Regulation is solely to set the security features and biometric identifiers to be used by the Member States in a uniform format of residence permit for third-country nationals.(8) This Regulation only lays down specifications that are not secret; these specifications need to be supplemented by further specifications which may remain secret in order to prevent counterfeiting and falsifications and which may not include personal data or references to such data. Powers to adopt such supplementary specifications should be conferred on the Commission, which should be assisted by the Committee established by Article 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1683/95 of 29 May 1995 laying down a uniform format for visas (2).(9) With regard to the personal data to be processed in the context of the uniform format for residence permits, Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (3) applies. It must be ensured that no further information is stored on the uniform format for residence permits unless provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1030/2002 (4), its Annex or unless it is mentioned in the relevant travel document.(10) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic objective of introducing biometric identifiers in interoperable formats to lay down rules for all Member States implementing the Schengen Convention. This Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty.(11) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark does not take part in the adoption of this Regulation, and is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Regulation builds upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark should, in accordance with Article 5 of that Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the adoption of this Regulation, whether it will implement it in its national law.(12) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point C of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (6) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement.(13) In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, the United Kingdom gave notice, by letter of 29 December 2003, of its wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Regulation.(14) In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland gave notice, by letter of 19 December 2003, of its wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Regulation.(15) As regards Switzerland, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed by the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the latter's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point C of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 4(1) of Council Decision 2004/860/EC (7),.

33547,"2007/490/EC: Council Decision of 5 June 2007 abrogating Decision 2003/89/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(12) thereof,Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,Whereas:(1) By Council Decision 2003/89/EC (1), following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Germany. The Council noted that the general government deficit was 3,7 % of GDP in 2002, significantly exceeding the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value, while general government gross debt was expected to reach 60,9 % of GDP, slightly above the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value.(2) On 21 January 2003, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (2), the Council addressed a recommendation to Germany with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end as rapidly as possible and by 2004 at the latest. The recommendation was made public. In view of the unique circumstances created by the Council conclusions of 25 November 2003 and of the ruling of the European Court of Justice of 13 July 2004 (3), the year 2005 should be considered to be the relevant deadline for the correction of the excessive deficit.(3) In accordance with the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of the Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (4).(4) Following a provisional notification by Germany in February 2006, actual data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) indicated that the excessive deficit had not been corrected by 2005. Acting in accordance with Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, and based on a recommendation from the Commission, the Council on 14 March 2006 immediately took a Decision under Article 104(9) of the Treaty giving notice to Germany to take measures for the deficit reduction judged necessary in order to remedy the situation of excessive deficit as rapidly as possible and at the latest by 2007 (5). Specifically, the Council decided that in 2006 and 2007 Germany should ensure a cumulative improvement in its cyclically-adjusted balance net of one-off and temporary measures by at least one percentage point.(5) In accordance with Article 104(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.(6) Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 8g(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 following the notification by Germany before 1 April 2007 and on the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, the following conclusions are warranted:— the general government deficit, after rising from 3,7 % of GDP in 2002 to 4,0 % of GDP in 2003, was reduced to 3,7 % of GDP in 2004, to 3,2 % of GDP in 2005, and finally to 1,7 % of GDP in 2006. This is lower than the target of 3,3 % of GDP set in the February 2006 update of the stability programme and well below the 3 % of GDP deficit reference value one year before the time limit set by the Council,— in previous years of favourable cyclical conditions, Germany had not created enough budgetary leeway to accommodate the extended slow growth period between 2002 and 2005 with average real GDP growth at 0,5 % per year. A series of tax cuts, carried out until 2005, burdened the budget further, while offsetting measures on the expenditure side were implemented only with some delay. Consolidation measures included restraint in public sector wages, accompanied by a reduction in staff levels, the reform of the public health system in 2004, a reduction of subsidies and public investment, but also the fact that low wage growth in the private sector dampened pension outlays. Furthermore, in 2006, direct taxes, especially those related to profits, yielded stronger revenues than economic developments would have suggested. The cyclically-adjusted balance improved from 2002 onwards, without recourse to significant one-off measures. Particularly in 2006, the estimated structural balance, excluding one-off and other temporary measures, as a percentage of GDP improved by close to one percentage point,— for 2007, the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast projects that the deficit will be reduced further to 0,6 % of GDP, driven by continuing high GDP growth and, in particular, the increase in the standard VAT rate from 16 % to 19 % as of January 2007. No one-offs are envisaged. In the spring 2007 notification, the German authorities estimated the 2007 deficit at 1,2 % of GDP. Moreover, the Commission services project an improvement in the structural balance as a percentage of GDP amounting to  percentage point in 2007. Thus, Germany appears to comply with the recommended improvement in the structural balance of at least one percentage point in 2006 and 2007 in cumulative terms. For 2008, the spring forecast projects, with unchanged policies, a further decline in the deficit to 0,3 % of GDP. This indicates that the deficit has been brought below the 3 % of GDP ceiling in a credible and sustainable manner. With unchanged policies, the structural deficit is expected to decline only marginally in 2008. This should be seen against the need to make progress towards the medium-term objective for the budgetary position, which for Germany is a balanced budget in structural terms,— after rising from 60,3 % of GDP in 2002 to a peak of 67,9 % of GDP in 2005, the debt ratio stabilised in 2006 and is projected to decline to 65,4 % of GDP in 2007 and to about 63 % by 2008 on a no-policy change basis according to the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, thus coming closer to the reference value more rapidly than projected in the most recent update of the stability programme.(7) In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in Germany has been corrected and Decision 2003/89/EC should therefore be abrogated,. From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Germany has been corrected. Decision 2003/89/EC is hereby abrogated.

4689,"2008/837/EC: Commission Decision of 29 October 2008 authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified LLCotton25 (ACS-GHØØ1-3) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2008) 6204) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 7(3) and 19(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) On 3 March 2005, Bayer CropScience AG submitted to the competent authority of the Netherlands an application, in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from LLCotton25 (the application).(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of other products containing or consisting of LLCotton25 for the same uses as any other cotton with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 5(5) and 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC.(3) On 16 April 2007, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from LLCotton25 as described in the application (the products) will have any adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment in the context of their intended uses (3). In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of that Regulation.(4) In particular, EFSA concluded that the comparative compositional analysis and agronomic analyses show that LLCottton25 is substantially equivalent to its non-genetically modified counterpart and, as a consequence, that no additional safety studies with laboratory animals (e.g. a 90-day toxicity study in rats) are needed.(5) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products. However, due to the physical characteristics of cotton seeds and methods of transportation, EFSA recommended that, within general surveillance, specific measures are introduced to actively monitor the occurrence of feral cotton plants in areas where seed spillage is likely to occur.(6) The monitoring plan submitted by the applicant has been modified to comply with this EFSA recommendation.(7) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.(8) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).(9) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for the foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from LLCotton25. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and other products than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.(10) Similarly, the EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Articles 6(5) and 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.(11) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.(12) Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements for products consisting or containing GMOs.(13) This decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Articles 9(1) and 15(2)(c), of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (6).(14) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman; the Commission has therefore submitted a proposal to the Council on 30 April 2008 in accordance with Article 5 of the Council Decision 1999/468/EC (7), the Council being required to act within three months.(15) However, the Council has not acted within the required time limit; a Decision should now be adopted by the Commission,. Genetically modified organism and unique identifierGenetically modified cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) LLCotton25, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier ACS-GHØØ1-3, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004. AuthorisationThe following products are authorised for the purposes of Articles 4(2) and 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 in accordance with the conditions set out in this Decision:(a) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from ACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton;(b) feed containing, consisting of, or produced from ACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton;(c) products other than food and feed containing or consisting of ACS-GHØØ1-3 cotton for the same uses as any other cotton with the exception of cultivation.

12356,"94/445/EC: Council Decision of 11 July 1994 on inter- administration telematic networks for statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States (Edicom). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas completing the internal market depends on the elimination of physical frontiers between Member States; whereas a satisfactory level of information on the trading of goods between Member States must therefore be ensured by means other than those  involving, checks, even indirect ones, at internal frontiers;Whereas it will consequently be necessary to collect directly from consignors and consignees the data necessary to compile statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States, using methods and techniques which will ensure that they are  exhaustive, reliable and up-to-date, without giving rise for the parties concerned, in particular for small and medium-sized businesses, to a burden out of proportion to the results which users of the said statistics can reasonably expect;Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 of 7 November 1991 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States (4) provides that the conditions should be created for increased use of automatic data processing and electronic data  transmission for the purpose of facilitating the task of the parties responsible for providing information;Whereas it is necessary to ease the burden which statistical returns place on businesses, while at the same time improving the circulation of statistical information with a view to the creation of the European information market;Whereas an essential objective of the future Council Decision adopting a multiannual Community programme to support the implementation of trans-European information networks for the interchange of data between administrations (IDA) is to carry out  feasibility studies, including validation schemes; whereas that Decision should be supplemented by measures of an operational character, particularly in the statistical sphere;Whereas the compilation of harmonized statistics, in particular with a link between statistics on trade and other economic statistics, should be ensured in order to contribute to market transparency and to the evaluation of the competitiveness of  businesses;Whereas the promotion of the use of harmonized standards and concepts at European level will ultimately lead to the elimination of duplication and to economies of scale, while facilitating the emergence of new services in the field of statistical  telematics;Whereas standardization carried out at international level in the sphere of electronic data interchange (EDI) contributes to facilitating international trade and to simplifying relations between undertakings and administrative authorities;Whereas the establishment of common statistical standards for the production of harmonized information is an activity which can be carried out effectively only at Community level, in collaboration with the Member States; whereas such standards will be  implemented in each Member State under the authority of the bodies and institutions responsible for the compilation and dissemination of official statistics;Whereas the Treaty does not provide for powers other than those in Article 235 for the adoption of this Decision,. A set of measures, hereinafter referred to as 'Edicom' (Electronic Data Interchange on Commerce), shall be implemented to facilitate the conversion of regional, national and Community sytems towards interoperable systems at European level, as  a first stage, for the collection of returns on the trading of goods between Member States from businesses, the validation and pre-processing of such returns and the dissemination of the statistics derived therefrom.These systems shall be based on distributed information systems at regional, national and Community levels, the interoperability of which shall be guaranteed by the development and use of harmonized standards and communication procedures.These systems shall be based in particular on the use of electronic data interchange (EDI) for the transmission of statistical returns. Computerized procedures may be made available to the competent national and Community authorities and to the parties  responsible for providing statistical information by agreement with the competent national authorities.These systems shall be developed in a way which takes account of the requirements associated with compiling statistics on internal trade. 1. Edicom shall run for five years from 11 July 1994.2. The Commission shall, in the framework of the interim report referred to in the first indent of Article 9, and on the basis of a report by experts, evaluate the application of Edicom and, if appropriate, propose amendments to this Decision. Measures shall be undertaken only where a clear need for Community action has been established, in accordance with the principle of subsidiary and the principles set out in Article 8 (3). Edicom may, by agreement with the competent  authorities to the Member States and bearing in mind the preferential use of existing technologies and products, comprise in particular:- the design, development and promotion of software for the collection, validation and transmission of statistical information, and assistance to Member States in making that software available to businesses,- the design, development and promotion of software for the acceptance, validation, processing and dissemination of data, providing assistance for, and making that software available to the regional, national and Community bodies responsible for  collecting statistical information, and where necessary the upgrading of equipment,- the design, development and promotion of formats for the exchange of information, on the basis of European and international standards, and making them available,- the design, documentation and promotion of the methods, procedures and agreements to be used in the exchange of information,- making software and services suppliers aware of the requirements of national and Community statistics. In implementing the measures, the following general aims shall be taken into account:- to facilitate the introduction and use of these systems, by means of promotion and awareness campaigns aimed mainly at businesses and users, conducted by the competent Community bodies by agreement with national and regional bodies,- to undertake special measures for the benefit of less-developed regional and national bodies to enable them to take part in these systems,- to promote the use of the most appropriate telematic technologies and tools to meet the needs of the statistical system, and their incorporation into the various computer environments of the authorities concerned. 1. The Commission shall be responsible for the implementation of Edicom. It shall be assisted by:(a) the Committee on the Statistical Programme of the European Communities, established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (5), in drawing up, quantifying and approving the annual work programme, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6;(b) the Committee on statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States, set up by Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91:- for the approval of calls for tenders and the evaluation of projects and measures of a total value of more than ECU 200 000, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6,- for measures to implement Edicom other than those referred to in the first indent of this point, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7.2.

3283,"2003/133/EC: Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 2002 on the mobilisation of the flexibility instrument according to point 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999. ,Having regard 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(1), and in particular point 24 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) Following the non-renewal of the fisheries agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco, a specific action for the conversion of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets was decided for an amount of EUR 197 million. Of this total the budgetary authority agreed on 21 and 22 November 2001 at the conciliation meeting between the Council and a delegation of the European Parliament, with the participation of the Commission, to enter EUR 27 million in the 2003 budget.(2) The actions for the conversion of Spanish and Portuguese fleets fall under heading 2 ""structural measures"", sub-heading ""Structural Funds"" of the financial perspectives.(3) In accordance with point 12, paragraph 2 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure, the appropriations foreseen for actions covered by heading 2 ""structural measures"" of the financial perspectives do not leave any margin under the ceiling.(4) At the conciliation meeting on 25 November 2002, the European Parliament and the Council have accepted transfer No 51/2002 which provides EUR 14991760 from unused appropriations in the 2002 budget onto the line B2-2 0 0. They have also agreed to inscribe the remaining EUR 12008240 on B2-2 0 0 for the budget year 2003. This amount will be beyond the ceiling of heading 2 for 2003 and has therefore to be financed from the flexibility instrument.(5) In particular, for the action of conversion of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets, it is then appropriate to make an exception to the general rule of the Interinstitutional Agreement, providing that: ""the flexibility instrument should not, as a rule, be used to cover the same needs two years running."",. For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2003 (hereinafter ""the 2003 budget""), the flexibility instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 12008240 in commitment appropriations.This amount shall be used for the financing of the targeted measure for the promotion of the conversion of vessels and of fishermen who were, until 1999, dependent on the fisheries agreement with Morocco, covered by the ""structural measures"" heading of the financial perspectives, under line B2-2 0 0 of the 2003 budget. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities at the same time as the 2003 budget..

4164,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1757/2005 of 27 October 2005 amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 on special market support measures in the beef sector. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 38(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 (2) provides for a purchase scheme of carcases from certain categories of animals over 30 months of age. After taking over the carcases, the Member State concerned can, amongst other things, eliminate the products. In case of elimination, Article 7 of that Regulation stipulates that the competent authority has to take all necessary measures to ensure that all the meat concerned is processed through rendering and that the products subsequently obtained cannot be used for food or feed purposes. Since March 2002 no further purchases were made under this special market support measure.(2) Experience shows that for purchases under this scheme, in ultra-peripheral regions with difficult accessibility and with a complete lack of rendering facilities within a reasonable distance, it is impossible to eliminate the carcases in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001. Carcases purchased under Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 in ultra-peripheral regions were buried in 2001 and 2002. The burial happened in accordance with the relevant veterinary and environmental standards and was in accordance with the objective of elimination as set out in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001.(3) In view of the special conditions obtaining in the ultra-peripheral areas, Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 should be amended to allow for other forms of elimination of the carcases purchased under the scheme than processing through rendering.(4) It is furthermore appropriate, for the exceptional reasons set out above, to sanction the past instances of burial in ultra-peripheral regions compliant with the relevant veterinary and environmental standards. To this effect the amendment of the Regulation has to apply retroactively as of 1 July 2001.(5) Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. In Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001, the following paragraphs are added:‘However, the competent authority may decide that the carcases or half-carcases shall be disposed of by burning or by burial provided that the following conditions are met:(a) the animals concerned have been slaughtered in the framework of this Regulation in establishments located in an ultra-peripheral region that is difficult to access;(b) the required infrastructure for processing through rendering the carcases or half-carcases as referred to in the first paragraph is not available in that region.Burial as referred to in the second paragraph must be deep enough to prevent carnivorous animals from digging up the carcases or half-carcases and shall be in suitable ground so as to prevent contamination of water tables or any environmental nuisance. Before burial, the carcases or half-carcases shall be sprinkled as necessary with a suitable disinfectant authorised by the competent authority.’ This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 July 2001.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

39990,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 657/2011 of 7 July 2011 amending Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53 (1) (b)(ii) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Union emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.(2) Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan such as milk and spinach exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health in the Union and therefore Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station (2) was adopted.(3) On 14 June 2011, the Commission was informed of the finding of a high level of radioactive caesium in green tea leaves, originating in the Shizuoka prefecture. That was confirmed on 15 June 2011 by five other findings of high level of radioactive caesium in green tea leaves from Shizuoka prefecture. That prefecture is not among the prefectures of the affected zone, where a testing of all feed and food originating from those prefectures is required before export to the Union. Given these recent findings it is appropriate to add Shizuoka prefecture to the affected zone.(4) A significant number of samples taken by the Japanese authorities from food produced in Niigata and Yamagata prefectures show that the production of feed and food in those prefectures is only to a very limited extent affected by the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station as none of the samples had non-compliant levels of radioactivity, nearly all samples had non-detectable levels of radioactivity and only in few samples low levels of radioactivity were detected. Therefore, it is appropriate to remove those prefectures from the zone, where a testing of all feed and food originating from those prefectures is required before export to the Union.(5) It is therefore appropriate to amend Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 accordingly, whilst keeping the date of applicability of the Regulation unchanged.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 is amended as follows:(1) In Article 2, paragraphs 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:(a) the product has been harvested and/or processed before 11 March 2011, or(b) the product originates in and is consigned from a prefecture other than Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Nagano, Yamanashi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Shizuoka, or(c) the product is consigned from Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Nagano, Yamanashi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures, but does not originate in one of those prefectures and has not been exposed to radioactivity during transiting, or(d) where a product originates in Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Nagano, Yamanashi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Shizoka prefectures, the product does not contain levels of radionuclides iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137 above the maximum levels provided for in Annex II to this Regulation. That provision applies also to products caught or harvested in the coastal waters of those prefectures, irrespective of where such products are landed.(2) Annex I is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

113,"Council Directive 77/312/EEC of 29 March 1977 on biological screening of the population for lead. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),Whereas one of the essential tasks of the European Economic Community is to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities and a continuous and balanced expansion, neither of which can be achieved without combating pollution and nuisances and improving the quality of life and the protection of the environment;Whereas the various uses of lead are at present causing contamination of many areas of the environment by this substance;Whereas the many environmental sources of lead make it difficult to determine the total exposure of any one individual to this pollutant and therefore the protection of human health calls for the most accurate possible monitoring of the individual's total lead absorption;Whereas biological screening of the population for lead should be carried out and the results of this screening evaluated so that, where appropriate, new proposals may be drawn up;Whereas it is desirable to lay down the technical procedures and biological reference levels for such screening;Whereas measurement of blood lead level is currently the best means of assessing the quantity of lead recently received by an individual as a result of exposure to environmental lead ; whereas the enzymatic activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) may be used as an indicative or supplementary test for determining exposure to lead;Whereas the programme of action of the European Communities on the environment (3) provides for the coordination of national programmes having as their aim the improvement of the quality of life and for priority investigation into lead,. The Member States shall take the necessary steps to apply a common procedure for biological screening in order to assess the exposure of the population to lead outside the working environment. This common procedure, the application of which shall be restricted to four years, shall be based on the measurement of blood lead levels.As an indicative or supplementary test, the ALAD measurement may also be used in accordance with the procedures laid down in Annexes II and III.  (1)OJ No C 28, 9.2.1976, p. 31. (2)OJ No C 50, 4.3.1976, p. 9. (3)OJ No C 112, 20.12.1973, p. 3. 1. The conditions for biological screening shall be fixed by means of:    - sampling and analysis procedures,- frequency of sampling.2. Blood sampling shall be carried out on volunteers. Sampling shall be carried out on:    - groups of at least 100 persons in urban areas with more than 500 000 inhabitants,- groups of at least 100 persons, in so far as this is feasible, chosen from among people exposed to significant sources of lead pollution,- critical groups determined by the competent authorities in the Member States.In each Member State and during each campaign the number of analyses to be performed shall be 50 or more per million inhabitants. The sampling of the groups referred to in Article 4 shall be carried out during at least two campaigns in each area investigated during the period of operation of the programme, separated by at least 24 months. In the second campaign, samples shall not necessarily be taken from the same persons as in the first campaign. In assessing the results of the biological screening for the purposes of the action provided for in Article 8, the following blood lead levels, which take into account the relationships between dose and effect given in Annex I, shall be taken together as reference levels:    - a maximum of 20 ¶g of Pb/100 ml of blood for 50 % of the group of people examined,- a maximum of 30 ¶g of Pb/100 ml of blood for 90 % of the group of people examined,- a maximum of 35 ¶g of Pb/100 ml of blood for 98 % of the group of people examined. Blood lead levels shall be determined as follows:    - Member States shall inform the Commission of the names of the laboratories taking part in the biological screening programme and of the methods of analysis used,- the Commission, in conjunction with the Member States, shall organize inter-comparison programmes in which the abovementioned laboratories shall participate,- the Commission, in conjunction with the Member States, shall examine the results of these programmes with a view to improving the comparability of the methods of analysis. Where the results of the analyses indicate that the reference levels set out in Article 6 have been exceeded in one or more cases Member States shall:    - check the validity of the results,- take action to trace the exposure sources responsible for the levels being exceeded ; this shall also include action on all individuals with a blood lead level over 35 ¶g/100 ml,- take all appropriate measures at the discretion of their competent national authorities. 1. Within six months of notification of this Directive, the Member States shall designate the competent national authorities which shall forward to the Commission:    - the data relating to the biological screening of the population groups referred to in Article 4, together with details of the methods of analysis, the population groups examined and the areas in which samples have been taken ; complete anonymity shall be preserved as regards the persons examined ; the Commission and the Member States shall agree on the procedures and the method whereby these data shall be forwarded,- information on the causes or factors presumed to have resulted in the reference levels in Article 6 being exceeded.2. The competent national authority shall also notify the Commission of the measures taken pursuant to the third indent of Article 8. 0At least twice a year the Commission shall convene a meeting of representatives of the Governments of the Member States, which shall, in particular:    - ensure that implementation of the biological screening and in particular of the provisions of Articles 4 and 5 is harmonized,- see that the analyses carried out are comparable,- examine the information and facilitate the exchange of information between the Member States on the results of the biological screening and on the measures taken pursuant to Article 8. 1On the basis of the information collected pursuant to Article 9, the Commission shall draw up in cooperation with the competent national authorities:    - a collated annual report on the implementation of the programme, which shall be forwarded to the Member States, the Council and the European Parliament,- a general report at the end of the programme which will form the basis for drawing up any further proposals taking account of progress made in scientific and technical knowledge. 2Member States shall take the necessary measures to enable the procedure laid down by this Directive to enter into force within 12 months following its notification and shall immediately inform the Commission thereof. 3This Directive is addressed to the Member States.. Done at Brussels, 29 March 1977.For the CouncilThe PresidentT. BENNANNEX I RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DOSE AND EFFECTThe blood lead levels used in the assessment of the results of the biological screening are based on analysis of the scientific data concerning the various toxic effects of lead. With this analysis, which takes account of normal variations in biological values within the population, it is possible to establish quasi-quantitative relationships between dose and effect. The following relationships between dose and effect are used for references for the purposes of this Directive.A decrease in ALAD activity in the red corpuscles as a result of exposure to lead may be tolerated for the population, provided that it does not interfere with haematopoiesis. For blood lead levels below 15 to 20 ¶g/100 ml, a decrease in ALAD activity is not currently considered to interfere with haematopoiesis.An increase in the protoporphyrin content of erythrocytes in the blood (PPE) indicates interference with the body's use of iron and thus with synthesis of the haem. An increase in PPE has been found at blood lead levels over 20 to 30 ¶g/100 ml. An increase in PPE may however be due to other causes.Interference with the glutathione synthesis may be tolerated only for a small fraction of the population and only if it is slight and does not result in any other sub-clinical symptoms. This unacceptable interference with glutathione synthesis is not found at blood lead levels below 30 ¶g/100 ml.A significant increase in the excretion of delta-aminolevulinic acid in the urine (ALAU) is a significant sign of disturbance in the metabolism of porphyrins and thus a sign of health impairment. A statistically significant increase in ALAU begins to be found at blood levels above 35 ¶g/100 ml.ANNEX II CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN BLOOD LEAD LEVELS AND ENZYMATIC ACTIVITYFor the purposes of Article 2 of this Directive, the relationship between blood lead levels and ALAD enzymatic activity measured in accordance with the European standardized method (Annex III) shall be as follows: >PIC FILE= ""T0010805"">If the ALAD values measured are significantly higher than the above limits for the different sections of population, confirmatory blood lead measurements shall not be required.ANNEX III TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEASURING ALAD ACTIVITYEuropean standardized method for determining the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydrataseThe principle of the method adopted to determine the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase is well known. It is based on incubation of the enzyme with an excess of delta-aminolevulinic acid substrate. The porphobilinogen (PBG) which forms after a certain length of time is mixed with the modified Ehrlich reagent and the colour obtained is measured against white using a photometer. The quantity of porphobilinogen produced constitutes a measurement of ALAD activity.METHOD Effect of lightRecent experiments have shown that PBG in particular is very sensitive to light. The entire analysis should thus be conducted with no direct sunlight at all in the laboratory (and not simply excluded from the point at which the analysis is carried out).Phase one - Blood sampling and preservation before analysis    - Take a sample of 2 ml venous blood using a plastic syringe (not lead stabilized) in the presence of dried heparin (   - Prepare immediately and cool to 4 ºC four samples of 0 72 ml placed in plastic tubes (not lead stabilized). Graduated Marbourg-type pipettes should be used.- If the samples are analyzed within three hours, there is no need to chill them.- Samples should not be preserved at 4 ºC for longer than 24 hours.- Just before analysis, all samples should be placed in a bath of iced water for 10 minutes.Note : Plastics which may be used include, for example, polythene, polystyrene and polypropylene. The preservation period of 24 hours at 4 ºC is a cautious estimate. This interval is long enough for the sample to be removed for analysis from the point at which it was taken to a central laboratory. Three of the four blood samples are used to measure ALAD and the fourth as a blank.Phase two - Haematocrit readingThis reading must be taken:    - at the same time as the blood sample,- by a capillary method using two samples.The sample should be centrifuged, after closing one end of the tube, at speed of a least 30 000 rev/minute and for not less than five minutes.Note : This reading should preferably be taken at once, but in any case not later than 24 hours after the blood sample is taken. If possible a microhaematocrit centrifuge should be used.Phase three - Haemolysis    - Take three blood samples which have been ""thawed"" using 1 73 ml distilled water (preheated to 37 ºC) and haemolyse for 10 minutes at 37 ± 0 72 ºC.- Use, for preference, a 2 ml graduated pipette for adding the water and then mix thoroughly.- Do not shake the samples at this stage.Note : It has been decided that water should be used rather than Triton X 100 for the haemolysis. Haemolysis experiments using Triton X 100 resulted in a considerable slowing in ALAD activity which has not yet been accounted for and which might be an artifact.Phase four - Addition of the ALA solution to the haemolysate    - Prepare the ALA solution.- It should not be prepared more than five hours beforehand.- Heat this solution to 37 ºC for at least 10 minutes before adding it.- Add 1 ml of this solution to the haemolysate, preferably using a 1 ml volumetric pipette, and mix.Note : A pH value of 6 74 has been taken, since experiments have shown that it is at this pH that there is the best correlation between ALAD activity and blood lead level in normal populations. It is not necessary to obtain the maximum activity (which can be done by raising the pH), since the activities to be measured are already fairly high.Phase five - Preparation of the blank    - Take 0 72 ml of blood treated as when measuring ALAD up to the point where the ALA solution is added ; in place of this, add 1 ml of TCA-HgCl2 solution, 1 ml of ALA solution, and then proceed as when measuring ALAD (see below).- Add the solutions using volumetric pipettes.Note : Only one blank is compared against a series of three tests for each blood sample. If the OD obtained for the blank is very high, the operation should be repeated to check it.Phase six - Incubation    - 60 minutes at 37 ± 0 72 ºC in a water bath.- Incubation time runs from addition of the ALA solution.Note : The incubation period of 60 minutes was chosen in order to increase ALAD activity by natural means, given that no other phase leads to any artificial increase in activity. Experiments have shown that the incubation time/activity ratio is linear for intervals over two hours.The incubation temperature has been kept at 37 ºC for practical reasons.Phase seven - Halting the PBG reaction  - Add 1 ml of TCA-HgCl2 solution to the incubation mixture, preferably using a 1 ml volumetric pipette.Phase eight - Centrifugation and filtration    - 30 000 rev/minute.- Filtration using Whatman No 54 paper or equivalent (acid-resistant).Note : Centrifugation should last about 10 minutes. The filtration phase is included in order to avoid the transfer by pipette of small particles on to the surface of the supernatant liquid. These particles seem to produce a colour reaction with Ehrlich's reagent. A number of tests have shown that inclusion of the filtration phase leads to better reproducibility. This phase can if necessary be replaced by a second centrifugation.Phase nine - Reaction with Ehrlich's reagent    - Mix 1 ml supernatant liquid with 1 ml modified Ehrlich's reagent, using a 1 ml volumetric pipette.- Use a Vortex-type mixer to ensure that the mixture is homogeneous.- Allow the reaction to continue for five minutes before measuring extinction.Note : To obtain a homogeneous mixture it is very important to ensure that the filtered supernatant liquid is well mixed with the Ehrlich's reagent.Phase ten - Extinction measurement    - Calibrate the spectrophotometer using a phenolphthaline solution in a basic buffer.- Compare the extinction measurement of the sample with that of the blank at 555 nm in a 1 cm cell (or 2 cm if the absorption is very low).Phase eleven - Calculation of enzyme activity  - The equation for calculating enzyme activity is as follows: >PIC FILE= ""T0010806"">where:OD = extinction measured,60 = incubation time,35 = dilution factor,62 = molal extinction coefficient in cm2/¶mol,K = spectrophotometric correction coefficient.Note : The units proposed are consistent with the recommendations of the International Union of Biochemistry on enzyme nomenclature.SOLUTIONS1. Preparation of an ALA solutionSolution A:1 778 g Na2HPO4  7 2H2O dissolved in 100 ml distilled water (preferably deionized).Solution B:1 738 g NaH2PO4  7 1H2O dissolved in 100 ml distilled water.29 ml of solution A + 71 ml of solution B give a buffer of 0 71 M sodium phosphate at pH 6 74.This buffer strength is necessary to prevent any fluctuation of pH value in the solution undergoing the reaction.167 76 mg ALA-HCl are dissolved in solution B (which must always be acid) ; the pH is adjusted to 6 74 on the basis of solution A. The volume is then made up to 100 ml using the buffer solution of 0 71 M sodium phosphate at pH 6 74. This preparation gives a solution of 0 701 M ALA.2. TCA-HgCl2 solution1 735 g HgCl2 are dissolved in 100 ml 10 % trichloracetic acid.3. Ehrlich's reagent solutionReagents:2 75 g p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (pDMAB),0 725 g HgCl2 dissolved in 10 ml glacial acetic acid,perchloric acid SG 1 77,glacial acetic acid.Preparation:Dissolve the pDMAB in 50 ml acetic acid. Add 24 75 ml perchloric acid and 4 ml HgCl2 solution. Mix, cool and make up to 100 ml with the glacial acetic acid in a graduated flask (1). Store in a dark bottle.Calibration:Community-level calibration should be carried out every year by a laboratory jointly appointed by the Member States.

France indicated in particular in its statement of opposition that registration of the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ would prejudice the existence of products legally on the market whose registration as a protected geographical indication, i.e. ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ has been undergoing examination by the French authorities since 2000. The geographical area covered by this request for registration includes the historical region of Basse Navarre, an area also known as ‘Navarre française’ (French Navarre).(3) By way of a letter dated 22 May 2007 the Commission invited the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations with each other.(4) Given that no agreement was reached between Spain and France within a time frame of six months, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure outlined in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. In the light of the information provided by France, the Commission cannot conclude that registration of ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ would harm the rights of producers of ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’. It is impossible to tell from the statement of objection that the production of lamb in the historical area of Basse Navarre is marketed using the term ‘Navarre’.(5) In the light of this information, the designation ‘Cordero de Navarra’ or ‘Nafarroako Arkumea’ should be registered in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,.

whereas that Decision has prohibited the dispatch to the other Member States and to third countries, in particular, of bovine semen, and certain other products from the UK obtained from bovine animals slaughtered in the United Kingdom which are liable to enter the animal feed or human food chains and materials destined for use in medicinal products, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products;Whereas the Scientific Veterinary Committee was consulted on 18 April 1996 and on 26 April 1996; whereas in the opinion of this Committee, bovine semen is considered to be safe for animal health with respect to BSE;Whereas the Scientific Committee on Cosmetology was consulted on the safety of certain bovine products on 11 April 1996; whereas the Liaison Committee of European Associations of the Perfume, Cosmetics Products and Toiletries Industries (Colipa) recommended several years ago to its members not to use source materials from United Kingdom bovine animals; whereas this Committee has declared that its members follow this recommendation;Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food was consulted on the safety of certain bovine products on 15 April 1996;Whereas the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products was consulted on 16 April 1996; whereas the pharmaceutical sector had already introduced measures relating to the sourcing of materials and their treatment; whereas every medicinal product undergoes a pre-marketing approval before it is placed on the market, by virtue of which the treatment process of any raw material is evaluated; whereas at the request of the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, all Community marketing authorization holders, or applicants with a positive opinion from the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products or the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products, have confirmed that the products concerned do not contain bovine tissue of United Kingdom origin;Whereas subsequently, additional information has been made available in order to facilitate a more complete risk assessment; whereas, on this basis, the Scientific Veterinary Committee on 26 April 1996 concluded that a combination of appropriate sourcing of bovine materials used and the application of minimum processing standards which have been shown to effectively inactivate the BSE agent, together give good reassurances about the safety of these products for food or cosmetic use; whereas, consequently, the Scientific Veterinary Committee has recommended safety parameters for the production of these products which are therefore considered to be safe; whereas, furthermore, specific rules for the veterinary control of establishments should be put in place;Whereas, therefore, the Commission considers that the products covered by the Annex to this Decision (such as gelatin and tallow) are safe;Whereas these products and bovine semen may therefore be exempted from the prohibition provided for by Decision 96/239/EC;Whereas in 1988 the United Kingdom introduced a requirement for animals affected with BSE to be completely destroyed; whereas the Council, at its meeting on 1 to 3 April 1996, concluded that bovine animals over the age of 30 months shall not enter the human food or animal food chains or be used for cosmetic or pharmaceutical products; whereas such animals must not be used as source materials for certain bovine products as referred to above;Whereas furthermore, certain bovine tissues must not be used as source materials for these products;Whereas it is necessary to lay down appropriate guarantees for the dispatch from the United Kingdom of products obtained from bovine animals which were not slaughtered in the United Kingdom;Whereas the Commission should carry out Community inspections in the United Kingdom to verify the application of the measures provided for in this Decision;Whereas the United Kingdom has presented a proposal for measures to control and eradicate BSE in the United Kingdom, in particular selective compulsory slaughter of animals and/or herds identified as being most likely to have been exposed to infected meat- and bonemeal and an improved system of individual identification of bovine animals to ensure effective control of movements and traceability of animals (animal passport system);Whereas the Standing Veterinary Committee has not given an opinion; whereas the Commission has therefore proposed these measures to the Council on 23 May 1996 in accordance with Article 17 of Directive 89/662/EEC, the Council being required to adopt measures within 15 days;Whereas, however, the Council has not acted within the required time limit;

It is therefore appropriate to approve azoxystrobin.(9) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions not provided for in the first inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) Based on the review report, which points out that for the active substance azoxystrobin notified by the main data submitter the manufacturing impurity toluene is of toxicological concern, a maximum level of 2 g/kg should, however, be set for that impurity in the technical material.(11) From the new data submitted, it appears that azoxystrobin may cause risks for aquatic organisms. Without prejudice to the conclusion that azoxystrobin should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.(12) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(13) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing azoxystrobin. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(14) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(15) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.(16) In the interest of clarity, Commission Directive 2010/55/EU of 20 August 2010 amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC to renew the inclusion of azoxystrobin as active substance (8) should be repealed.(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,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance azoxystrobin, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing azoxystrobin as an active substance by 30 June 2012.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Article 13(1) to (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing azoxystrobin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product still satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing azoxystrobin as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing azoxystrobin as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.

4961,"Council Regulation (EC) No 913/2009 of 24 September 2009 terminating the new exporter review of Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China, re-imposing the duty with regard to imports from one exporter in this country and terminating the registration of these imports. ,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 Article 11(4) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:1.   MEASURES IN FORCE(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collected the provisional duty imposed on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China. For the four companies with individual duties, the duties in force range from 7,6 % to 39,9 %. The duty applicable to all other companies is 46,7 %. Regulation (EC) No 684/2008 (3) clarified the scope of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005.2.   CURRENT INVESTIGATION2.1.   Request for review(2) The Commission received a request for a new exporter review of Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, from one exporting producer of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China.(3) The request was lodged by Crown Equipment (Suzhou) Company Limited (Crown Suzhou or the applicant).(4) The applicant alleged that it operated under market economy conditions and that it did not export the product concerned to the European Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based i.e. from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004 (the original investigation period) and that it was not related to any of the exporting producers of the product concerned which are subject to the measures in force. Furthermore, it claimed that it had started to export hand pallet trucks and their essential parts to the Community after the end of the original investigation period.2.2.   Initiation of a new exporter review(5) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a new exporter review in accordance with Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Regulation (EC) No 52/2009 (4), a review of Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 with regard to the applicant (the review).(6) Pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 52/2009, the anti-dumping duty of 46,7 % imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts produced by the applicant was repealed. Simultaneously, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, customs authorities were directed to take appropriate steps to register such imports.2.3.   Product concerned(7) The product concerned is the same as that set out in Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 684/2008, being hand pallet trucks and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex 8427 90 00 and ex 8431 20 00. Hand pallet trucks are defined as trucks with wheels supporting lifting fork arms for handling pallets, designed to be manually pushed, pulled and steered, on smooth, level, hard surfaces, by a pedestrian operator using an articulated tiller. The hand pallet trucks are only designed to raise a load, by pumping the tiller, to a height sufficient for transporting and do not have any other additional functions or uses such as for example (i) to move and to lift the loads in order to place them higher or assist in storage of loads (highlifters); (ii) to stack one pallet above the other (stackers); (iii) to lift the load to a working level (scissor lifts); or (iv) to lift and to weigh the loads (weighing trucks).2.4.   Parties concerned(8) The Commission officially advised the applicant, representatives of the Community industry and the representatives of the exporting country of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in Regulation (EC) No 52/2009.(9) The Commission services also sent a market economy treatment (MET) claim form and a questionnaire to the applicant and received the replies within the deadlines set for that purpose.2.5.   Review investigation period(10) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008.3.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST FOR A NEW EXPORTER REVIEW(11) By letter to the Commission dated 22 May 2009, Crown Suzhou formally withdrew its request for a new exporter review under Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation.(12) It was considered whether it would be warranted to continue the investigation ex officio. The Commission considered that the termination of the investigation would not affect the anti-dumping measure in force, that the duty rate applicable to all other companies would be re-imposed retroactively on Crown Suzhou and that such termination would not be against the Community interest. On this basis, the investigation should be terminated.(13) Interested parties were informed of the intention to terminate the investigation and re-impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of the product concerned produced and sold for export to the Community by Crown Suzhou and were given the opportunity to comment. However, no comments which could alter this decision were received.(14) It was therefore concluded that imports into the Community of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex 8427 90 00 and ex 8431 20 00 and produced and sold for export to the Community by Crown Suzhou should be subject to the country-wide duty applicable to all other companies (46,7 %) imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 and that that rate of duty should therefore be re-imposed.4.   RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY(15) In the light of the above findings, the anti-dumping duty applicable to Crown Suzhou should be levied retroactively, from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 52/2009, on imports of the product concerned which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation.5.   DURATION OF THE MEASURES(16) The review does not affect the date on which the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,. 1.   The new exporter review initiated by Regulation (EC) No 52/2009 is hereby terminated and the anti-dumping duty applicable according to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 to all other companies (TARIC additional code A999) in the People’s Republic of China is hereby imposed on imports identified in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 52/2009.2.   The anti-dumping duty applicable according to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1174/2005 to all other companies in the People’s Republic of China is hereby levied with effect from23 January 2009 on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts which have been registered pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 52/2009.3.   The customs authorities are hereby directed to cease the registration of imports carried out pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 52/2009.4.   Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.

The Member States should retain their competence in the areas covered by the Convention which do not affect Community law.(5) Pursuant to the Convention, only sovereign States may be party to it. For that reason, the Community may not at present sign, ratify or accede to it.(6) The Council should therefore authorise the Member States, by way of exception, to sign the Convention in the interest of the Community, under the conditions set out in this Decision.(7) Taking account of Articles 23, 26 and 52 of the Convention, a Decision taken by a Member State on matters governed by the Convention may be recognised and enforced in another Member State in accordance with the relevant internal rules of Community law.(8) The United Kingdom and Ireland are taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision.(9) Denmark, in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is therefore not bound by it nor subject to its application,. 1.

When signing the Convention, Member States shall make the following declaration:""Articles 23, 26 and 52 of the Convention allow Contracting Parties a degree of flexibility in order to apply a simple and rapid regime for the recognition and enforcement of judgments. The Community rules provide for a system of recognition and enforcement which is at least as favourable as the rules laid down in the Convention. Accordingly, a judgment given in a Court of a Member State of the European Union, in respect of a matter relating to the Convention, shall be recognised and enforced in(3) by application of the relevant internal rules of Community law(4)."" Member States shall make the necessary arrangements for the Convention to be signed before 1 June 2003.

The objections were deemed admissible under points (a), (b), (c) and (d) the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) thereof.(3) By letter dated 14 March 2011, the Commission asked the Parties concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.(4) An agreement was reached between Thailand and France. Given that no agreement was reached within the designated timeframe of six months between Thailand and the Netherlands, and that only a partial agreement was reached within such timeframe between Thailand and Belgium, Italy and the United Kingdom, the Commission should adopt a decision.(5) With regard to the definition of the geographical area for production, processing and packaging, France pointed out an inconsistency between the Single Document and the national legislation of Thailand that allowed processing and packaging outside the geographical area of production. Thailand recognised the inconsistency and amended its national registration as well as the Single Document to clarify that there is only one single geographical area of production, processing and packaging.(6)(7)(8) With regard to the packaging requirement to take place in the area of production, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom objected as being not adequately justified or unnecessarily restricting. France and Thailand found an agreement after amendment of the Single Document by Thailand in order to explain better the reasons why packaging has to take place in the geographical area. No agreement on this issue was reached between Thailand and Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Thailand has then amended the Single Document and specification and included a justification more specific to the product.(9)(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,. The designation contained in Annex I to this Regulation shall be entered in the register. The updated Single Document is contained in Annex II to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed3.2.   Description of product to which the name in (1) appliesKhao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai is the rice produced in the Thung Kula Rong-Hai area, extending across five provinces of north-east Thailand. It is grown from Khao Dawk Mali (KDML 105) and RD 15 varieties and is a light-sensitive paddy rice. It can be brown or white (milled rice).Physical characteristicsRice hull: straw yellow colour.Long, slim, transparent and shiny.Silky smooth.Good smell like pandanus leaf.Physical characteristics Brown rice White riceLength (mm) > 7,0 > 7,0Shape (Length/Width) > 3,2 > 3,2Colour Yellowish brown WhiteChemical characteristicsMoisture content Not more than 14 %Contaminants Not more than 0,2 %Yellow grains Not more than 0,2 %Mixture of other rice varieties Not more than 8 %Amylose (%) 14-16 %Alkaline test 6-7Chemical characteristics (mean value (± 5 %)) Brown rice White riceProtein (%) 7,6 5,4Vitamin B1 (mg/100g) 0,34 0,18Vitamin B2 (mg/100g) 0,27 0,07Vitamin B3 (mg/100g) 5,0 1,2Iron (ppm) 28 16Other characteristics1.   Cooking characteristics (mean values)Cooking time 15-20 min.Rice:water ratio for cooking 1:1 or 1:1,252.   Aroma and flavourThe cooked rice smells liked pandanus leaf and tastes velvety, spongy and slightly sweet. It has a slight hint of the added condiments when cooked with other ingredients. Newly harvested KDML 105 and RD 15 rice grains have a creamy smooth texture when boiled.3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)The rice seeds used to produce Khao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai have to be grown in Thung Kula Rong-Hai.The seeds must be Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML 105) and Kor Khor or RD 15 breeds obtained from the Rice Department or rice-grain producers, i.e. farmers’ organisations or private organisations certified by the Rice Department based on the standards for rice grain production.3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)—3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the identified geographical areaThe whole of the production cycle must take place in the defined geographical area to ensure that it is conducted entirely under the geomorphological conditions specific to that area. Needless to say, given the growing conditions the entire biological cycle up to harvesting is carried out in the same place, i.e. where the rice was originally sown. Harvesting is governed by special rules which cover the dates, phonological stages and grain moisture to guarantee the hygiene and safety of the product and complete traceability of the rice to the region of origin and even, in many cases, to the original farmer. The processing shall take place in Roi Et, Surin, Sisaket, Mahasarakham, and Yasothon Provinces, which are the five provinces of the Thung Kula Rong-Hai area.3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.The packaging shall take place in Roi Et, Surin, Sisaket, Mahasarakham, and Yasothon Provinces, which are the five provinces of the Thung Kula Rong-Hai area. This is to give consumers an effective guarantee of the origin, the quality of the rice and in order to ensure the retention of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (0,1-0,2 micrograms at the growing field), unique to Khao Hom Mali grown within the identified geographical area. The repackaging is not allowed in order to minimise possible dilution in concentration, which would undermine its distinctive aroma and to prevent any possible contamination or alteration of the product.3.7.   Specific rules concerning labellingPackages must be labelled with the weight, the date of packing, the name of the mill or the name of the cooperative.Each package must bear the words ‘’ and/or ‘Khao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai’.The Thai GI logo plus the EU logo (after European registration) are also mandatory.4.   Concise definition of the geographical areaThe geographical area where all the operations take place (sowing, cultivation, harvesting, milling, packaging and labelling) is Roi-et, Mahasarakam, Surin, Yasothon and Srisaket.Due to the specific weather and soil conditions required the cultivation area lies in:— Roi Et province consisting of 986 807 rai (6,25 rai = 1 hectare) of land in tambons within the Thung Kula Rong-Hai Plain in Kaset Wisai, Suwannabhumi, Pratumrat and Phonsai districts and Nong Hee subdistrict.— Surin province consisting of 575 993 rai of land in tambons within the Thung Kula Rong-Hai Plain in Ta Tum and Chumpol Buri districts.— Sisaket province consisting of 287 000 rai of land in tambons within the Thung Kula Rong-Hai Plain in Rasi Salai district and Silalat subdistrict.— Maharasakham province consisting of 193 890 rai of land in tambons within the Thung Kula Rong-Hai Plain in Phayakaphum Pisai district.— Yasothon province consisting of 64 000 rai of land in tambons within the Thung Kula Rong-Hai Plain in Maha Chanachai and Kor Wang districts.5.   Link with the geographical area5.1.   Specificity of the geographical areaThe Thung Kula Rong-Hai Plain is a large plain in north-east Thailand, extending across five provinces, namely Roi Et, Mahasarakam, Surin, Yasothon and Srisaket. It covers a total of 2 107 690 rai and was formerly named Thung Mah Long or Thung Pu Pa Lan.Natural and human factors play an integral role in production and, in particular, cultivation of Khao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai rice. Human knowledge also plays a key role in production of this rice, from selecting quality seeds to following suitable cultivation methods, constructing bunds and segmenting the paddy field into sections to retain sufficient water for the rice to grow. Water is drained from the fields about 10 days before harvest, when the mature rice is cut and dried for 2 or 3 days to reduce moisture. These are the natural factors and local knowledge which determine the quality of Khao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai.5.2.   Specificity of the productKhao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai refers to paddy, brown and milled rice processed from the light-sensitive rice varieties Khao Dawk Mali 105 and Kor Khor or RD 15, grown in the rainy season in Thailand in the Thung Kula Rong-Hai area and exuding a natural aroma.The only rice eligible is the abovementioned variety from the defined geographical area, since only these conditions produce rice with low amylose content (14-16 %) and with an amylopectin content of 86-84 %. This allows the rice to absorb a low proportion of the water in which it is cooked and release flavours. These outstanding characteristics are possible only under the unique geomorphological conditions in the north-eastern part of Thailand (nature of the soil, quality of the water used, number of hours of sunshine, narrow range of temperatures, cool dry weather in the harvesting season, etc.).5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)‘Thung Kula Rong-Hai’ is derived from the legendary ‘Kula merchants’. According to the legend, because of the dry weather in the dry season, a group of native people called Kula who were merchants journeyed across this large plain to sell their wares. They travelled until they were exhausted, but were still unable to reach the other side. They then felt like crying (‘Rong-Hai’ in Thai), hence the name ‘Thung Kula Rong-Hai’ (‘plain of the crying Kula’).Cultivation of Hom Mali rice in Thung Kula Rong-Hai began after the government improved the Hom Mali rice variety and certified it in 1959 naming it ‘Khao Dawk Mali 105’. Cultivation became more widespread in 1979 when the rice seeds exchange project called for planting glutinous rice in the Thung Kula Rong-Hai area. Farmers were advised to change the new rice seeds every three years to maintain seed purity.Because the paddy depended on rain water, cultivation could be carried out only once a year. Harvesting takes place in the cold season when the weather is cold and dry (after the end of the rainy season). According to local knowledge, a flooded paddy field needs to be drained about 10 to 15 days before harvesting to obtain rice of good physical quality, with long, slim, clear and sturdy grains. The cooked rice should be soft and fragrant. This practice, coupled with good agricultural practice (GAP), gives Khao Hom Mali Thung Kula Rong-Hai its unique quality, distinctive from Hom Mali rice grown in other areas and recognised by traders and consumers both in the producing country itself and internationally.The slightly saline soil in northern Thailand, the coolness and dryness of the area, the specific rice varieties (KDML 105 and RD 15) used, the climate and the soil nutrients cause the paddy to become stressed and to produce the aromatic substance 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP), the same substance which produces the fragrance in pandanus leaves.

For the 2000/2001 and previous marketing years, the adjustment aid and additional aid were determined, inter alia, on the basis of the applicable storage levy. For the 2001/2002 marketing year, the compensation system for storage costs was abolished and the aid in question set on the assumption that the balance between the manufacturing margin and the refining margin has not been affected by the abolition of the aforementioned system and pending a study of economic developments in the two sectors to establish in particular whether the way in which the two margins have developed warrants continuation of the adjustment aid and additional aid.(3) The analyses carried out lead to the conclusion that the aid to the refining industry should continue to maintain balance with the manufacture of white beet sugar in the period for which prices in the sugar sector are set, i.e. for the 2002/2003 to 2005/2006 marketing years. The level of the aid set for the 2001/2002 marketing year is commensurate with developments in the situation in particular after the abolition of the compensation system for storage costs.(4) The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

That amount may be adjusted in accordance with Article 38(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 where the economic conditions, in particular the interest rate, prevailing prior to the beginning of one of the marketing years in question are significantly different from those existing when the amount was fixed for the first time.""

That objection is based on points (a), (c) and (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of that Regulation. In its statement of objection, Sweden took the view that the conditions for registration referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation are not met, that registration of the name in question is injurious to names, trade marks or existing goods and that the name in question is generic.(3) The Commission considered that objection to be admissible and, by letter of 4 August 2008, asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.(4) An agreement, notified to the Commission on 27 February 2009, was concluded between Finland and Sweden within six months. Under that agreement, Sweden does not have an objection to registration of the name ‘Lapin Poron liha’. It was agreed that the detailed rules for the labelling of reindeer meat or products based on reindeer meat originating in Swedish Lapland should be made in compliance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.(5) That agreement does not amend the information published pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The name ‘Lapin Poron liha’ should therefore be registered in accordance with Article 7(4) of that Regulation,. The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register. 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..

2355,"83/252/EEC: Commission Decision of 24 May 1983 relating to a proceeding under Article 85 of the EEC Treaty (IV/181 - Cematex) (Only the French, German, Italian, English and Dutch texts are authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962: First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Articles 6 and 8 thereof,Having regard to Decision 71/337/EEC (2) by which the Commission, pursuant to Article 85 (3), granted an exemption until 30 November 1982 in respect of the decision of the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers (Cematex) laying down rules for exhibiting at International Exhibitions of Textile Machinery (ITMA),Having regard to the application for renewal of the said Decision submitted by Cematex on 19 November 1981,Having regard to the summary of the rules for exhibiting at ITMA published, in accordance with Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17, in Official Journal of the European Communities No C 20 of 25 Janaury 1983,Having regard to the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,Whereas:I(1) Cematex is an association without legal personality formed in 1953. As part of its functions it is responsible for organizing an ITMA every four years. This is the role to which both the notification made on 25 October 1962 and the application for renewal of the exemption Decision adopted by the Commission under Article 85 (3) of the Treaty on 24 September 1971 relate.(2) The following national associations, which number among their members the majority of textile machinery manufacturers in their respective countries, belong to Cematex:- Fachgemeinschaft Textilmaschinen im Verein Deutscher Maschinenbau - Anstalten EV (VDMA)Lyoner Strasse, 18D-6000 Frankfurt am Main 71,- Syndicat des Constructeurs belges de Machines textiles (Symatex)21, rue des DrapiersB-1050 Bruxelles,- Union des Constructeurs de Matériel textile de France (UCMTF)10, avenue HocheF-75382 Paris - Cedex 08,- British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA)220/224 The Royal ExchangeUK-Manchester M2 7BX,- Associazione Costruttori Italiani di Macchinario per l'Industria Tessile (ACIMIT)Via Tevere, 1I-20123 Milano,- Groep Textielmachines (GTM) van de Vereniging voor de Metaal- en de Elektrotechnische Industrie FMEBredewater 20NL-2715 CA Zoetermeer,- Société Suisse des Constructeurs de Machines (VSM)Groupe 'Machines textiles'4, KirchenwegCH-8032 Zuerich.(3) Cematex's statutes have not been changed since Decision 71/337/EEC. The latter should therefore be referred to as far as the substance of the said statutes is concerned.(4) The substance of the rules for exhibiting at ITMA is currently as follows:(a) participants undertake to comply with the ITMA rules and with all subsequent decisions taken by the organizers on the grounds of order and safety;(b) the exhibition is open to machines for the textile industry, including hosiery and knitting machines, accessories for such machines, sewing machines and machines for the clothing industry, measuring and testing equipment and apparatus and electrical equipment and machines used in the textile or clothing industries;(c) only exhibitors' machines may be used to demonstrate accessories at the ITMA;(d) permission to exhibit is confined to those firms which perform at least two of the three operations of designing, manufacturing or selling and which comply with the following conditions:- in signing the application for admission to the ITMA, exhibitors undertake that, in the year of the ITMA and in the preceding year, they will not display, either directly or indirectly through the intermediary of any agent or other reseller, textile, hosiery or knitting machines or mock-ups or models which constitute a faithful reproduction of the aforesaid machines - with the exception of any other advertising material, the showing of which is henceforth entirely unrestricted - at any fair, exhibition, show or other national or international event in the countries covered by the rules (1),- manufacturers linked by a licensing agreement or by a technical cooperation agreement may all exhibit at the ITMA the machines or accessories covered by that agreement. However, if, in the year of the ITMA or in the preceding year, one of the parties displays one or more machines covered by the agreement at another fair, exhibition, show or event in one of the countries covered by the rules, the other party will also be debarred from exhibiting at the ITMA the whole of that part of his range covered by the agreement,- where multinational companies or companies in the same group exhibit at the ITMA, the above rules apply to all the companies in the group or which constitute the multinational company;(e) if a company fails to observe the above undertaking, it is automatically debarred from the current ITMA and forfeits the deposits paid or is debarred from the next ITMA;(f) in the year of the ITMA and the preceding year Cematex may, if requested, authorize textile machines to be made available to exhibitors at other fairs, exhibitions or shows held in one of the countries covered by the rules provided that:- those machines are used exclusively to demonstrate machines or equipment not admitted to the ITMA, have been manufactured for the previous two years and have already been shown at earlier exhibitions,- all identifying marks or signs are removed or concealed,- such machines are not the subject of any commercial activity (advertising, distribution of catalogues, offers, etc.) on site,- the presence of those machines at the abovementioned events is authorized by Cematex in advance, Cematex being free to refuse authorization if it can be used to circumvent the rules directly or indirectly,- authorization is requested solely by manufacturers who are ITMA exhibitors;(g) if requested, Cematex may authorize participation in a non-commercial exhibition whose sole purpose is:- presentation of a specific region or a historical display,- scientific or educational (e.g. conferences, universities),- the public interest (e.g. defence, safety at work, ergonomics, protection of the environment),the number and type of machines must correspond to the type of event;(h) fairs, exhibitions or shows shall not be taken to mean the display by a manufacturer, on his own premises or on those of his subsidiaries, of machines of his own manufacture, or the display by representatives, distributors, dealers or retailers, on their own premises or on those which they permanently use, of machines which they market;(i) the secretariat, the organizing committee and the national associations are empowered to check whether manufacturers taking part in the ITMA comply with the undertaking they have entered into;(j) if an exhibitor is debarred from or refused admission to an ITMA or is not allowed to participate in a particular event or fair (1), including participation for demonstration purposes, the Cematex secretariat will inform him thereof by registered letter, setting out the reasons for its decision; the exhibitor may, within a period of 14 days, oppose this decision by appealing either to an arbitration committee or to the court with jurisdiction over the place where the ITMA is held.(5) Since Decision 71/337/EEC, Cematex has sponsored two ITMA, one in Milan in 1975 and the other in Hannover in 1979. No application for admission to those ITMA which satisfied the conditions laid down in the rules was rejected. On the other hand, a number of applications which did not satisfy the conditions were rejected. In these circumstances, and in order to ensure the objective application of the ITMA rules, Cematex instituted, at the Commission's request, the appeal procedure mentioned above (cf. point I (4) (c)).(6) It has been established that the exhibitors of certain machines and plant not admitted to an ITMA require, in connection with their exhibitions, the presence of textile machines in order to demonstrate their machinery. At the Commission's request, Cematex amended its rules so that henceforth, in the year of the ITMA and the preceding year, the presence of textile machines at such exhibitions may be authorized (cf. point I (4) (g)).(7) In future, participation in exhibitions having scientific, educational or historical aims or which are held in the public interest may also be authorized at all times (cf. point I (4) (g)).(8) The display of his machines by a manufacturer or by his representatives on their respective premises is henceforth entirely unrestricted (cf. point I (4) (h)). The same applies to participation in exhibitions with advertising material such as photographs, catalogues, etc., excluding models faithfully representing the machines (cf. the first indent of point I (4) (d)).(9) It should be remembered that textile equipment and textile machinery in particular consists as a rule of heavy and complex units which must be shown in operation and whose removal and installation involves considerable expenditure and calls for technical and financial assistance on the part of manufacturers. This being so, the need to curb the trend towards a proliferation of exhibitions is felt particularly strongly in the sector in question.(10) Following publication of the notice pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17, the Commission has received no comments from third parties which might alter its assessment of the ITMA rules.II(11) For the reasons already outlined in Decision 71/337/EEC, to which reference should be made, the following measures adopted by Cematex concerning the ITMA rules constitute a decision by an association of associations of undertakings and are caught by the prohibition contained in Article 85 (1) of the Treaty:- the undertaking by exhibitors not to participate in the year of the ITMA and in the preceding year, either directly or indirectly through the intermediary of commercial agents or by displaying models, in any national or international event organized in the countries covered by the rules, except in certain cases authorized by Cematex,- the exclusion from the current ITMA, or the non-admission to the following one, of machines made by any manufacturer who has exhibited them or caused them to be exhibited, even by means of models, at other national or international events,- the exclusion from the ITMA of a manufacturer who is party to a licensing agreement or a technical cooperation agreement in respect of those machines or accessories which form the subject matter of the agreement, where the other party to the agreement displays, in the year of the ITMA or in the preceding year, one or more of those machines at other exhibitions in one of the countries covered by the rules,- the exclusion from the ITMA of all companies in the same group or of multinational companies where one of them has participated in the year of the ITMA or in the preceding year, in other exhibitions in one of the countries covered by the rules,- the ban on the use of machines other than those of exhibitors to demonstrate accessories at an ITMA,- the authorization needed from Cematex for textile machines to be made available to exhibitors at other fairs held in the countries covered by the rules in order to demonstrate machines or equipment not admitted to the ITMA provided, however, that such machines have been manufactured for the previous two years, have already been shown at earlier fairs and that their identifying mark is invisible.III(12) As a result of the many changes made by Cematex to the ITMA rules with a view to making them more flexible (cf. the first indent of point I (4) (d), point I (4) (f), (g) and (h)), those rules can now be applied more objectively and much less stringently.In these circumstances, the Decision which the Commission adopted on 24 September 1971 may be renewed under Article 8 (2) of Regulation No 17 since the tests for the application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty are still satisfied for the reasons already outlined in the said Decision. The concentration of events brought about by the ITMA rules allows, in particular, practically all available machines to be displayed at less cost, which has the effect of stimulating manufacturers, of better informing users by giving them a comprehensive view of the market while saving them from considerable travelling, and of improving distribution of the products. On the other hand, the ITMA rules, in the light inter alia of the improvements which have been made to them (cf. the first indent of point I (4) (d), point I (4) (f), (g) and (h)) do not contain restrictions which are not indispensable for the realization of the advantages flowing from the rationalization of fairs and exhibitions, and do not eliminate competition between the economic operators in question.The clauses set out in the second and third indents of point I (4) (d) fit, moreover, into the general context of the objective of the rules, namely the rationalization of textile machinery fairs and exhibitions. For reasons similar to those outlined in Decision 71/337/EEC, to which reference should be made, those clauses satisfy the conditions for the application of Article 85 (3).(13) Accordingly, Cematex's application for renewal of the Commission decision of 24 September 1971 may be granted. As ITMA are held every four years, that Decision may be renewed for a period expiring on 31 December 1995.(14) For reasons similar to those set out in Decision 71/337/EEC, obligations must be attached to this Decision,. The Decision adopted by the Commission on 24 September 1971 under Article 85 (3) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community exempting the Cematex decision laying down the rules for exhibiting at ITMA is hereby renewed until 31 December 1995. Cematex shall forthwith notify the Commission of all cases of exclusion from, or refusal to admit to, an ITMA, or of participation in a specific event or fair, together with the reasons therefor.

21209,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (Text with EEA relevance.). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,After consulting the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF),Whereas:(1) Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 provides that maximum levels must be set for certain contaminants in foodstuffs in order to protect public health. These maximum levels must be adopted in the form of a non-exhaustive Community list which may contain levels for the same contaminant in different foodstuffs. The sampling and analysis methods to be applied may be specified.(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 194/97 of 31 January 1997, setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1566/1999(3), has been amended substantially several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.(3) It is essential, in order to protect public health, to keep contaminants at levels which are toxicologically acceptable. The presence of contaminants must be reduced more thoroughly wherever possible by means of good manufacturing or agricultural practices, in order to achieve a higher level of health protection, especially for sensitive groups of the population.(4) In view of disparities between the laws of Member States in regard to the maximum levels for contaminants in certain foodstuffs and the consequent risk of distortion of competition, Community measures are necessary in order to ensure market unity while abiding by the principle of proportionality.(5) Member States must adopt appropriate surveillance measures regarding the presence of contaminants in foodstuffs.(6) So far, Community legislation does not set maximum levels for contaminants in food intended for infants and young children covered by Commission Directive 91/321/EEC(4), as last amended by Directive 1999/50/EC(5), and Commission Directive 96/5/EC(6), as last amended by Directive 1999/39/EC(7). After having consulted the SCF, specific maximum levels for those foodstuffs should be established as soon as possible. Until then the levels set in this Regulation should also apply to those foodstuffs in so far as no stricter level has been set by national legislation.(7) Food ingredients used for the production of compound foodstuffs should comply with the maximum levels set in this Regulation prior to addition to the said compound foodstuff in order to avoid dilution.(8) Vegetables are the major source of nitrates for human intake. The SCF in its opinion of 22 September 1995 stated that the total intake of nitrates is normally well below the acceptable daily intake. It recommended, however, continuation of efforts to reduce exposure to nitrates via food and water since nitrates can be converted into nitrites and nitrosamines, and urged that good agricultural practices are adopted to ensure nitrate levels are as low as reasonably achievable. The SCF emphasised that concern about the presence of nitrates should not discourage increase in the consumption of vegetables since vegetables have an essential nutritional function and play an important role in health protection.(9) Specific measures designed to provide better control of the sources of nitrates together with codes of good agricultural practice may help to reduce the nitrate levels in vegetables. However, climatic conditions also influence the levels of nitrates in certain vegetables. Different maximum nitrate levels should therefore be fixed for vegetables depending on the season. The climatic conditions vary widely in different parts of the Community. Therefore, Member States should be allowed, for a transitional period, to authorise the marketing of lettuces and spinach grown and intended for consumption in their territory with nitrate levels higher than those fixed in points 1.1 and 1.3 of Annex I, provided, that the quantities present remain acceptable from the point of view of public health.(10) Lettuce and spinach producers established in the Member States which have given the abovementioned authorisations should progressively modify their farming methods by applying the good agricultural practices recommended at national level, so as to comply with the maximum levels laid down at Community level at the end of the transitional period. It is desirable to achieve common values as soon as possible.(11) The levels set for lettuce and spinach should be reviewed and, if possible, reduced before 1 January 2002. This review will be based on monitoring carried out by the Member States and the application of codes of good agricultural practice in order to fix the maximum levels as low as reasonably achievable.(12) The monitoring of nitrate levels in lettuce and spinach and the application of good agricultural practices shall be carried out using means proportionate to the desired objective, the monitoring results obtained and, particularly, in the light of the risks and of experience gained. The application of codes of good agricultural practice in some Member States will be closely observed. It is therefore appropriate that each year Member States communicate the results of their monitoring and report on the measures taken and the progress with regard to the application of codes of good agricultural practice to reduce nitrate levels and that an exchange of views with the Member States on these reports will take place annually.(13) Lower limits are fixed for open-grown lettuce than for lettuce grown under glass, and in order to allow effective control the limits set for open-grown lettuce should apply also to lettuce grown under glass in the absence of precise labelling.(14) Aflatoxins are mycotoxins produced by certain species of Aspergillus, which develop at high temperatures and humidity levels. Aflatoxins are genotoxic carcinogenic substances and may be present in a large number of foods. For substances of this type there is no threshold below which no harmful effect is observed. No tolerable daily intake can therefore be set. Current scientific and technical knowledge and improvements in production and storage techniques do not prevent the development of these moulds and consequently do not enable the presence of the aflatoxins in food to be eliminated entirely. It is, therefore, advisable to set limits as low as reasonably achievable.(15) Efforts to improve production, harvesting and storage methods in order to reduce the development of moulds should be encouraged. The aflatoxins group includes a number of compounds of varying toxicity and frequency in food. Aflatoxin B1 is by far the most toxic compound. It is advisable, for safety reasons, to limit both the total aflatoxin content of food (compounds B1, B2, G1 and G2) and the aflatoxin B1 content. Aflatoxin M1 is a metabolic product of aflatoxin B1, and is present in milk and milk products from animals which have consumed contaminated feed. Even if aflatoxin M1 is regarded as a less dangerous genotoxic carcinogenic substance than aflatoxin B1, it is necessary to prevent the presence thereof in milk and milk products intended for human consumption and for young children in particular.(16) It is recognised that sorting or other physical treatment methods make it possible to reduce the aflatoxin content of groundnuts, nuts and dried fruit. In order to minimise the effects on trade, it is consequently advisable to admit higher aflatoxin content for those products which are not intended for direct human consumption or as an ingredient in foodstuffs. In these cases, the maximum limits for aflatoxins were fixed by taking into consideration at the same time the known possible effects of the above-mentioned treatments for groundnuts, nuts and dried fruit respectively and the need to comply after treatment with the maximum limits fixed for these products intended for direct human consumption or to be used as an ingredient in foodstuffs. In the case of cereals, it cannot be excluded that sorting methods or other physical treatments can reduce the level of contamination of aflatoxins. In order to be able to check the real effectiveness of these methods and, if necessary, to fix specific maximum limits for the unprocessed cereals, it is foreseen for a limited period to apply the maximum limits as laid down in Annex I only for cereals and processed products thereof intended for direct human consumption or as an ingredient in foodstuffs. In the absence of data justifying the fixing of a specific maximum limit for unprocessed cereals, after a well-defined period of time, the maximum limit laid down for cereals and the processed products thereof intended for direct human consumption or as an ingredient of food, will also apply to unprocessed cereals.(17) To allow effective control of the respect of the various limits fixed for the products in question, it is necessary to know the exact destination by means of suitable labelling. Products with levels of aflatoxin exceeding the maximum limit may not be brought into circulation, either as such, after mixture with other foodstuffs or as an ingredient in other foodstuffs. Under Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 315/93, Member States may maintain their national provisions concerning the maximum limits for aflatoxins in certain foodstuffs for which no Community provisions have been adopted.(18) Lead absorption may constitute a serious risk to public health. Lead may induce reduced cognitive development and intellectual performance in children and increased blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases in adults. Over the past decade the levels in food have decreased significantly owing to the awareness of lead as a health problem and source-related efforts to reduce the emission of lead and improvements in quality assurance of chemical analysis. The SCF concluded in its opinion of 19 June 1992 that the mean level of lead in foodstuffs does not seem to be a cause for alarm, however, longer-term action should follow with the objective of further lowering the mean levels of lead in foodstuffs. Therefore, the maximum levels should be as low as reasonably achievable.(19) Cadmium may accumulate in the human body and may induce kidney dysfunction, skeletal damage and reproductive deficiencies. It cannot be excluded that it acts as a human carcinogen. The SCF, in its opinion of 2 June 1995, recommended greater efforts to reduce dietary exposure to cadmium since foodstuffs are the main source of human intake of cadmium. Therefore, maximum levels should be set as low as reasonably achievable.(20) Methylmercury may induce alterations in the normal development of the brain of infants and at higher levels may induce neurological changes in adults. Mercury contaminates mostly fish and fishery products. To protect public health, maximum levels of mercury in fishery products are laid down by Commission Decision 93/351/EEC(8). For reasons of transparency, the relevant measures laid down by that Decision should be transferred to the present Regulation and updated. The levels should be as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account that for physiological reasons certain species concentrate mercury more easily in their tissues than others.(21) 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) is created during food processing under certain conditions. In particular, it may be produced during the manufacture of the savoury food ingredient ""hydrolysed vegetable protein"" that is produced through the acid hydrolysis method (acid-HVP). By adjusting production processes, a significant decrease of 3-MCPD in the abovementioned product has been achieved over the past years. Recently, several Member States have also reported high levels of 3-MCPD in certain samples of soy sauce. In order to enforce good manufacturing practice and to protect the health of consumers, maximum levels of 3-MCPD should be set. The SCF advised, in its opinion of 16 December 1994, which was confirmed on 12 June 1997, that 3-MCPD should be regarded as a genotoxic carcinogen and that residues of 3-MCPD in food products should be undetectable. Recently performed toxicological studies indicate that the substance acts as a non-genotoxic carcinogen in vivo.(22) The maximum levels set in Annex I for 3-MCPD are based on the SCF opinion. The SCF will reevaluate the toxicity of 3-MCPD in the light of new studies. The adequacy of the maximum levels should be reconsidered as soon as the new SCF opinion is available. Member States are requested to examine other foodstuffs for the occurrence of 3-MCPD in order to consider the need to set maximum levels for additional foodstuffs.(23) Any maximum level adopted at Community level will have to be reviewed regularly to take account of the advance of scientific and technical knowledge and improvements in manufacturing or agricultural practices with the objective of achieving steadily decreasing levels.(24) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,. 1. The foodstuffs indicated in Annex I must not, when placed on the market, contain higher contaminant levels than those specified in that Annex.2. The maximum levels specified in Annex I shall apply to the edible part of the foodstuffs mentioned.3. The sampling and analysis methods applied shall be those specified in Annex I. 1. In the case of products, other than those mentioned under Article 4(1), which are dried, diluted, processed or composed of more than one ingredient, the maximum level applicable shall be that laid down in Annex I, taking into account respectively:(a) changes of the concentration of the contaminant caused by drying or dilution processes,(b) changes of the concentration of the contaminant caused by processing,(c) the relative proportions of the ingredients in the product and(d) the analytical limit of quantification.The first subparagraph shall apply in so far as no specific maximum levels are fixed for these dried, diluted, processed or compound products.2. The maximum levels specified in Annex I shall apply also to food intended for infants and young children covered by Directive 91/321/EEC and Directive 96/5/EC in so far as no stricter level has been set by national legislation for the specified food products, taking into account respectively, the changes of the concentration of the contaminant caused by drying, dilution or processing and the relative concentrations of the ingredients in the product. Specific maximum levels of contaminants for those foodstuffs shall be established by 5 April 2004 at the latest.3. Without prejudice to Articles 3(1) and 4(3), it is prohibited to use products as food ingredients for the production of compound foodstuffs which do not comply with the maximum levels set in Annex I. 1. Member States may, where justified, authorise for a transitional period the placing on the market of fresh lettuces and fresh spinach, grown and intended for consumption in their territory, with nitrate levels higher than those set as maximum levels in points 1.1 and 1.3 of Annex I provided that codes of good agricultural practice are applied to achieve gradual progress towards the levels laid down in this Regulation.Member States shall inform the other Member States and the Commission each year of steps taken to implement the first subparagraph.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission by 30 June of each year, the results of their monitoring and report on the measures taken and the progress made with regard to the application and improvement of codes of good agricultural practice to reduce nitrate levels in lettuce and spinach. This information shall also contain the data on which their codes of good agricultural practice are based.3. The Member States, who do not apply paragraph 1, shall carry out the monitoring of nitrate levels in lettuce and spinach and apply good agricultural practices using means proportionate to the desired objective, the monitoring results obtained, particularly in the light of the risks and of experience gained. 1. The maximum limits of aflatoxins applicable to the products, as laid down in points 2.1.1.1 and 2.1.2.1 of Annex I shall also be applicable to processed products thereof in so far as no specific maximum limits are fixed for such processed products.2. With regard to aflatoxins in products mentioned in point 2.1 of Annex I, it is prohibited:(a) to mix products complying with the maximum levels laid down in Annex I with products exceeding these maximum levels or to mix products to be subjected to a sorting technique or physical treatment with products intended for direct human consumption or as an ingredient in foodstuffs,(b) to use products which do not comply with the maximum levels laid down in points 2.1.1.1, 2.1.2.1 and 2.1.3 of Annex I as an ingredient for the manufacture of other foodstuffs,(c) to detoxify products by chemical treatments.3. Groundnuts, nuts and dried fruit not complying with the maximum levels of aflatoxins laid down in point 2.1.1.1 of Annex I and cereals not complying with the maximum levels laid down in point 2.1.2.1 can be placed on the market provided that these products:(a) are not intended for direct human consumption or used as an ingredient in foodstuffs,(b) comply with the maximum levels laid down in point 2.1.1.2 of Annex I for groundnuts and point 2.1.1.3 of Annex I for nuts and dried fruit,(c) are subjected to a secondary treatment involving sorting or other physical treatments and that after this treatment the maximum limits laid down in points 2.1.1.1 and 2.1.2.1 of Annex I are not exceeded, and this treatment does not result in other harmful residues,(d) are labelled clearly showing their destination, and bearing the indication ""product must be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment to reduce aflatoxin contamination before human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs"". 1. On the basis of the results of controls carried out by the Member States to check compliance with the maximum levels of nitrates laid down in section 1 of Annex I, the reports with regard to the application and improvement of codes of good agricultural practice to reduce nitrate levels and the evaluation of the data on which the Member States have based their good agricultural practice, the Commission shall proceed, every five years, and before 1 January 2002 for the first time, to a review of the maximum levels with the overall objective of reducing the said levels.2. On the basis of new scientific data and the results of controls carried out by the Member States to check compliance with the maximum levels of heavy metals and 3-MCPD in sections 3 and 4 of Annex I, the Commission shall proceed, every five years, and before 5 April 2003 for the first time, to a review of the maximum levels with the overall objective of ensuring a high level of consumer health protection. Regulation (EC) No 194/97 shall be repealed with effect from 5 April 2002.References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

That date is 15 December of the year in which operational programmes or requests for amendments to operational programmes are submitted.(2) Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003, laying down transitional provisions, as corrected by Regulation (EC) No 1582/2003, lays down that producer organisations must submit requests for amendments needed to bring operational programmes into line with that Regulation on 15 October 2003 at the latest, rather than 15 September as initially laid down. As a result, the competent national authorities have only two months in which to undertake the checks laid down in Article 12 of that Regulation before taking the decisions provided for in Articles 13 and 14 thereof.(3) So as not to seriously undermine the effectiveness of the abovementioned checks and to give the competent national authorities a reasonable amount of time to draw up the programmes, for 2003 only the final deadline of 15 December should be waived and the Member States given until 31 January 2004 to take the decisions provided for in Articles 13 and 14 of the above Regulation.

23029,"2002/882/EC: Council Decision of 5 November 2002 providing further macro-financial assistance to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee(3),Whereas:(1) The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) authorities re-established links with international organisations and in particular made progress towards normalising the country's financial relations with multilateral creditors, including the European Investment Bank, and with official bilateral creditors.(2) Since October 2000, the FRY has achieved substantial progress in economic stabilisation and reform and has made important steps towards a well-functioning market economy.(3) Within the Stabilisation and Association process, which is the framework for the European Union's (EU) relations with the region, it is desirable to support efforts to sustain political and economic stabilisation in the FRY, with a view to evolving towards the development of a full cooperation relationship with the Community.(4) Financial assistance from the Community should be instrumental in bringing the FRY closer to the Community.(5) The Community already provided in 2001 macro-financial assistance of EUR 345 million to the FRY(4). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved in May 2002 a three-year ""Extended Arrangement"" for the FRY of about USD 829 million to support the authorities' economic programme in 2002 to 2005.(6) The World Bank decided in May 2001 to make available to the FRY on a temporary basis a package of concessional loans of USD 540 million over a three year period. So far, two structural adjustment credits of USD 70 million and of USD 85 million have been approved in January and May 2002, respectively, to support reforms in public finance as well as in the energy and social sector and to foster private sector development.(7) The Members of the Paris Club agreed in November 2001 on a substantial debt relief in favour of the FRY, already alleviating the balance of payments situation.(8) The authorities of the FRY have requested financial assistance from the international financial institutions, the Community, and other bilateral donors.(9) Over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, an important residual financing gap remains to be covered to support the policy objectives attached to the authorities' reform efforts.(10) Community macro-financial assistance to the FRY is an appropriate measure to help ease the country's external financial constraints, supporting the balance of payments and strengthening the reserve position.(11) Financial assistance from the Community in the form of a combination of a long-term loan and a straight grant is an appropriate measure to support the sustainability of the FRY's external financial position, given its limited borrowing capacity. This Community financial assistance should be effective and properly implemented.(12) The inclusion of a grant component in this assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the Community budgetary authority.(13) A new Constitutional Charter is presently in the process of parliamentary discussion. Upon its entry into force, the FRY would continue to exist under a new name. The pending name change does not affect this Decision.(14) Upon entry into force of the aforementioned Constitutional Charter, the National Bank of Yugoslavia may cease to exist. Therefore, after entry into force of the Constitutional Charter, the macro-financial assistance provided under this Decision will be paid to the institution or institutions designated to take on the responsibilities from the National Bank of Yugoslavia for receiving funds in the context of this Decision.(15) This assistance should be managed by the Commission, in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee.(16) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 308,. 1. The Community shall make available to the FRY further macro-financial assistance in the form of a long-term loan and a straight grant with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and strengthening the country's reserve position.2. The loan component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum principal of EUR 55 million with a maximum maturity of 15 years. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of the FRY in the form of a loan.3. The grant component of this assistance shall amount to a maximum of EUR 75 million.4. This Community financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with the agreements reached between the IMF and the FRY. 1. The Commission is empowered to agree with the authorities of the FRY, after consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to further Community macro-financial assistance. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1(4).2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Committee and in coordination with the IMF, that economic policies in the FRY are in accordance with the objectives of this macro-financial assistance and that its conditions are being fulfilled. 1. The loan and grant components of this assistance shall be made available to the FRY in at least two instalments. Subject to Article 2, the first instalment is to be released on the basis of satisfactory implementation of the adjustment and reform programme of the FRY under the present Extended Arrangement with the IMF.2. Subject to Article 2, the second and any further instalments shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory track record on the FRY's adjustment and reform programme, and not before one quarter after the release of the previous instalment.3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of the FRY, and after the entry into force of a new Constitutional Charter, to the institution or institutions designated to take on the responsibilities of the National Bank of Yugoslavia for receiving funds in the context of this Decision. 1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest rate risks, or in any other commercial risk.2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if the FRY so requests, to ensure that an early repayment clause is included in the loan terms and conditions and that it may be exercised.3. At the request of the FRY, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the loan's interest rate, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average maturity of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by the FRY, if appropriate.5. The Economic and Financial Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraph 2 and 3 at least once a year. At least once a year, and before September, the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, which will include an evaluation on the implementation of this Decision in the previous year.

37862,"2010/285/: Council Decision of 19 January 2010 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, in particular, Article 126(6) in conjunction with Article 126(13) and Article 136 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the observations made by Germany,Whereas:(1) According to Article 126(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Member States shall avoid excessive government deficits.(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 also establishes provisions for the implementation of Article 104 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, required the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considered that an excessive deficit in a Member State existed or might occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, which has become Article 126(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit existed in Germany. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Germany on 11 November 2009 (3).(6) Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Germany, this overall assessment leads to the conclusions set out in this Decision.(7) According to data notified by the German authorities in October 2009, the general government deficit in Germany is planned to reach 3,7 % of GDP in 2009, thus exceeding and not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value. The planned excess over the reference value can be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. According to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, real GDP in Germany is projected to contract sharply by 5 % in the year 2009. Furthermore, the planned excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary, since according to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, taking into account the measures adopted in the current year affecting the budget for 2010 and for 2011, the deficit would widen to 5,0 % of GDP in 2010 to fall down to 4,6 % of GDP in 2011 on a no-policy change basis. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.(8) According to data notified by the German authorities in October 2009, the general government gross debt (which has been above the 60 % of GDP reference value since 2002) is planned to stand at 74,2 % of GDP in 2009. According to the Commission services’ autumn 2009 forecast, the debt ratio is expected to rise further to 73,1 % of GDP in 2009 and reach 79,7 % of GDP in 2011. The debt ratio cannot be considered as diminishing sufficiently and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. The debt criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 126(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Germany, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,. From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Germany. This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany..

36922,"Council Regulation (EC) No 85/2009 of 19 January 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund concerning certain provisions relating to financial management. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 161 third subparagraph thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee,Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,Whereas:(1) The unprecedented crisis hitting international financial markets has brought about major challenges for the Community, which necessitates a rapid response in order to counter effects on the economy as a whole and, in particular, to support investments in order to promote growth and employment.(2) The regulatory framework for the 2007-2013 programming period has been adopted with a view to achieving further simplification in the programming and management of the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund, their effectiveness and subsidiarity in terms of their implementation.(3) The adaptation of certain provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund (1) is necessary in order to facilitate the mobilisation of Community financial resources for the start-up of operational programmes and assisted projects within the framework of these programmes in such a manner as to accelerate implementation and the impact of such investments on the economy.(4) It is necessary to strengthen the possibility of provision by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) of assistance to Member States in the preparation and implementation of operational programmes.(5) Taking account of the status of the EIB and EIF as financial entities recognised by the Treaty, when financial engineering operations are organised involving them as holding funds, it should be possible to directly award them a contract.(6) In order to facilitate the use of financial engineering instruments, notably within the field of sustainable urban development, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of in-kind contributions being considered as eligible expenditure in the constitution of, or contributions to, funds.(7) In order to support enterprises, and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, it is also necessary to make more flexible the conditions governing the payment of advances within the framework of State aids under Article 87 of the Treaty.(8) In order to accelerate the implementation of major projects, it is necessary to allow expenditures relating to major projects which have not yet been adopted by the Commission to be included in expenditure declarations.(9) To bolster the financial resources of Member States thus facilitating the rapid start-up of operational programmes in a crisis context, it is necessary to amend the provisions concerning pre-financing.(10) The payment of a payment on account at the beginning of operational programmes should allow a regular cash flow and facilitate payments to beneficiaries during programme implementation. For this reason provisions should be established for such payments on account for the Structural Funds: 7,5 % (for Member States of the European Union as constituted before 1 May 2004) and 9 % (for the Member States that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004) in order to accelerate the implementation of operational programmes.(11) By reason of the principles of equality of treatment and of legal security, the amendments relating to Articles 56(2) and 78(1) should apply during the whole 2007-2013 programming period. Retroactive application is therefore necessary with effect from 1 August 2006, the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 came into force. As the unprecedented crisis affecting international financial markets necessitates a rapid response in order to counter effects on the economy as a whole, other amendments should enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.(12) Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 should therefore be amended,. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 is hereby amended as follows:1. in Article 44, the second paragraph shall be amended as follows:(a) point (b) shall be replaced by the following:‘(b) when the agreement is not a public service contract within the meaning of applicable public procurement law, the award of a grant, defined for this purpose as a direct financial contribution by way of donation to a financial institution without a call for proposals, if this is in accordance with a national law compatible with the Treaty;’;(b) the following point (c) shall be added:‘(c) the award of a contract directly to the EIB or the EIF.’;2. in Article 46(1), the following second subparagraph shall be added:3. Article 56(2) shall be replaced by the following:(a) the eligibility rules drawn up on the basis of paragraph 4 foresee the eligibility of such expenditure;(b) the amount of the expenditure is duly justified by supporting documents having equivalent probative value to invoices, without prejudice to provisions set out in specific Regulations;(c) in the case of contributions in kind, the co-financing from the Funds does not exceed the total of eligible expenditure, excluding the value of such contributions.’;4. Article 78 shall be amended as follows:(a) the last sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 78(1) shall be replaced by the following:(b) in Article 78(2) point (b) shall be deleted;(c) Article 78(4) shall be replaced by the following:5. in Article 82(1), second subparagraph, points (a), (b) and (c) shall be replaced by the following:‘(a) for Member States of the European Union as constituted before 1 May 2004: in 2007 2 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme, in 2008 3 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme, and in 2009 2,5 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme;(b) for Member States that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004: in 2007 2 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme, in 2008 3 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme and in 2009 4 % of the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operational programme;(c) if the operational programme falls under the European territorial cooperation objective and at least one of the participants is a Member State that acceded to the European Union on or after 1 May 2004, in 2007 2 % of the contribution from the ERDF to the operational programme, in 2008 3 % of the contribution from the ERDF to the operational programme and in 2009 4 % of the contribution from the ERDF to the operational programme.’.

20778,"2001/333/EC: Commission Decision of 13 February 2001 on the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for essential uses in the Community in 2001 under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2000) 4153). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer(1), and in particular to Articles 3, 4 and 7 thereof,Whereas:(1) Because of concerns for the ozone layer, the Community has already phased out the production and consumption of certain controlled substances.(2) Essential uses have to be decided for chlorofluorocarbons; other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons; halons; carbon tetrachloride; 1,1,1 trichloroethane; and hydrobromofluorocarbons (Article 3.1 and Article 4.4).(3) The criteria used for assessing essential uses are in line with Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and are:I. That a use of a controlled substance should qualify as ""essential"" only if:A. it is necessary for the health, safety, or is critical for the functioning of society (encompassing cultural and intellectual aspects); andB. there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health.II. That production and consumption, if any, of a controlled substance for essential uses should be permitted only if:A. all economically feasible steps have been taken to minimise the essential use and any associated emission of the controlled substance; andB. the controlled substance is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled controlled substances, also bearing in mind the needs of developing countries for controlled substances.(4) Decision XI/14 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the levels of production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances for metered dose inhalers (MDIs) for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).(5) Decision XI/17 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties and in Decision VII/11.(6) The Montreal Protocol's Technology and Economic Assessment Panel noted in its April 2000 report that the European Community's stockpile of CFCs has increased and recommended that it be reduced as production of CFC-based MDIs declines.(7) The Commission has published a notice(2) to those companies in the European Community that use controlled substances which may be allowed for essential uses in the Community in 2001 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, and has thereby received applications for quantities of controlled substances for essential uses in 2001.(8) In the framework of the Montreal Protocol nomination and assessment procedures for essential uses, Parties are requested to identify the users who may take advantage of essential uses in 2001.(9) The Commission issues licenses to the users identified pursuant to Articles 3, 4 and 7 and in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000.(10) Within this framework, a producer may be authorised by the competent authority of the Member State in which its relevant production is situated to produce the controlled substances for the purposes of meeting the licensed demands presented by the identified users; the competent authority of the Member State concerned shall in turn notify the Commission well in advance of any such authorisation.(11) Pursuant to Decision XI/17 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, overall quantitative limits may be set for essential laboratory and analytical uses of controlled substances in the European Community during 2001.(12) The list of essential uses and the quantities of the controlled substances are hereby given in the Annex as information for producer and user industries.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000,. Companies which may take advantage of the essential uses for their own account during 2001 for the manufacture of metered dose inhalers and for the coating of cardiovascular surgical material are listed in Article 5. The total quantities of controlled substances permitted for essential uses during 2001 shall be as specified in the Annex. Within the overall limits set out in Part B of the Annex, the Commission shall issue licenses to acquire controlled substances from producers in the Community or by import for essential laboratory and analytical uses. This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2001. Companies which may take advantage of the essential uses for their own account during 2001 for the manufacture of metered dose inhalers and for the coating of cardiovascular surgical material are: 3M Health Care Ltd Mr Brian Edwards 3M HouseMorley StreetLoughborough LE11 1EP United Kingdom Aventis Mr Bob Netrefa London RoadHolmes ChapelCW4 8BE United Kingdom Bespak PLC Mr Chris Halley North Lynn Industrial EstateKing's LynnPE30 2JJ United Kingdom Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH J.

43770,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 25/2014 of 13 January 2014 amending Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 as regards the entry for Canada in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which certain aquatic animals may be imported into the Union  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 22 and Article 61(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 2006/88/EC lays down the animal health requirements to be applied for the placing on the market and the import and the transit through the Union of aquaculture animals and products thereof.(2) Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 (2) establishes a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments, from which it is permitted to introduce aquaculture animals.(3) In addition, the model animal health certificates set out in Parts A and B of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 contain animal health attestations with regard to the requirements for species susceptible to certain diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.(4) Certain provinces of Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut) are currently listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008. Imports of fish species susceptible to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia, as set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, from those provinces into the Union are therefore permitted.(5) Canada has requested that the province of Quebec should be added to the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008. According to the conclusions of an audit carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office in Canada in June 2012 concerning aquatic animal health, the competent authority of that third country can provide appropriate guarantees in relation to surveillance and monitoring of fish diseases, and a reliable certification system is in place for exports of fish and products thereof to the Union. In addition, the competent authority of Canada has submitted to the Commission detailed information with regard to a risk-based surveillance programme concerning viral haemorrhagic septicaemia carried out between 2007 and 2012 on wild fish originating from higher risk watersheds in the province of Quebec. From an analysis of the design and implementation of the surveillance programme it can be concluded that it is highly unlikely that the viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus circulated in susceptible wild fish populations in Quebec during those years. That provides further assurances in respect of the health status of fish species susceptible to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia, or products thereof, that may be exported to the Union from Quebec.(6) It is therefore appropriate to permit imports of fish species susceptible to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia, as set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, intended for farming, relaying areas, put and take fisheries, open and closed ornamental facilities, from Quebec into the Union.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) 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 1251/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

At the same time, the Commission accepted by its Decision 94/202/EC (3) an undertaking offered by the Government of Russia, in conjunction with V/O Stankoimport, Moscow, Russia. By Regulation (EC) No 1100/2000 (4), following the expiry review, the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports into the Community of silicon carbide (‘the product concerned’) originating in the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Russian Federation (Russia) and the Ukraine (Ukraine) and the Commission prolonged the undertaking accepted by Decision 94/202/EC for a Russian company ‘V/O Stankoimport’.(2) The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, is set at 23,3 % for imports of the product concerned originating in Russia.(3) The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, is set at 24 % for imports of the product concerned originating in Ukraine.2.   Investigation(4) On 20 March 2004 the Commission announced through the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (5) the initiation of a partial interim review of measures in force (‘measures’) pursuant to Article 11(3) and 22(c) of the basic Regulation.(5) The review was launched at the initiative of the Commission in order to examine whether, as a consequence of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘enlargement’) and bearing in mind the aspect of Community interest, there is a need to adapt the measures in order to avoid a sudden and excessively negative effect on all interested parties including users, distributors and consumers.3.   Parties concerned by the investigation(6) All interested parties known to Commission, including the Community industry, associations of producers or users in the Community, exporting producers in the country concerned, importers and their associations and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned as well as interested parties in the ten new Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘the EU10’) were advised of the initiation of the investigation and were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to submit information and to provide supporting evidence within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.(7) In this regard, the following interested parties made their views known:(a) Community producers Association:— European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC)(b) Exporting producer:— Zaporozhsky Abrasivny Combinat, Zaporozhye, Ukraine(c) Exporter:— V/O Stankoimport, Russia(d) Producer:— JSC Volzhsky Abrasive Works, RussiaB.   PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION(8) The product under consideration is the same as in the original investigation, falling within CN code 2849 20 00.(9) The production process of silicon carbide is such that output automatically comprises a variety of qualities of silicon carbide which can be segregated into two main grades: crystalline and metallurgical. The crystalline grade, which is further classified under the types black and green, is normally used in the manufacturing of abrasive tools, grinding wheels, high-quality refractory products, ceramics, plastic materials etc., while the metallurgical grade is normally used in foundry and blast furnace operations as a silicon carrier. As in the previous investigations, both grades have to be considered as forming one product for the purpose of this investigation.C.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONI.   REGARDING SILICON CARBIDE ORIGINATING IN RUSSIA1.   Claims made by interested parties(10) The Russian exporter subject to the undertaking submitted that the volume of imports to which the undertaking applies was established on the basis of its sales to the market of the EU15 and that, therefore, the undertaking should be revised in order to take due account of the market of the EU25. It claimed that such revision was essential in order to avoid discrimination in favour of the other exporters of the product concerned to the EU.2.   Comments received from Member States(11) The Member States have made their views known and the majority of them support adapting the measures in order to take account of the enlargement.3.   Assessment(12) An analysis was made of the available data and information which confirmed that the volume of imports of the product concerned from Russia into the EU10 was significant. Considering that the volume of imports subject to the undertaking currently in force was established on the basis of the imports into the EU15, it does not take into account the increased volume of imports to the EU25.4.   Conclusion(13) Considering the above, it is concluded that to take account of the enlargement it is appropriate to adapt the measures in order to cater for the additional volume of imports into the EU10 market.(14) The original volume of imports subject to the undertaking for the EU15 was calculated and established for each subsequent year in the second half of the current year as a proportion of the Community consumption on the basis of the year previous to the current. The amount of the increase of the volume of imports subject to the undertaking has been calculated following the same method of calculation.(15) Accordingly, it is considered appropriate that the Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking reflecting the situation after the enlargement and on the basis of the method described in recital (11).II.   REGARDING SILICON CARBIDE ORIGINATING IN UKRAINE1.   Submissions of interested parties in exporting countries(16) The Ukrainian authorities and Ukrainian exporting producer claimed that owing to the high level of the anti-dumping duties and as a consequence of the extension of the measures to the EU10, their traditional trade flows to the EU10 would be significantly disrupted.(17) In particular, they claimed that the sudden sharp price increases triggered by the high level of the anti-dumping duties rendered the product prohibitively expensive for the production of metallurgical briquettes.2.   Comments received from the Community industry(18) The Community industry stated that it would not oppose any proposals for intermediate measures to be taken over a transitional period which do not adversely affect its situation.3.   Comments received from Member States(19) The authorities of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovak Republic considered that special transitional arrangements should apply to imports of the product concerned from Ukraine following Enlargement. It was argued that the product concerned is of significant importance for industrial end-users in the EU10 since it is not produced in these countries.(20) Accordingly, certain of these authorities took the view that the anti-dumping duties should be suspended with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in Ukraine.4.   Assessment(21) On the basis of the available data and information, an analysis was made which confirmed that the import volumes of the product concerned coming from Ukraine into the EU10 were significant in 2003.(22) Considering that the product concerned is of significant importance for traditional industrial end-users in the EU10 and the relatively high level of anti-dumping duty, it was therefore concluded that it is in the Community interest to adapt gradually the measures currently in force in order to avoid a sudden and excessively negative effect on all interested parties.5.   Conclusion(23) All these various aspects and interests have been taken into account and considered as a whole. It emerges from this that the EU10 importers' and users' interests would be substantially negatively affected by the sudden application of the existing measures if they were not to be temporarily adapted.(24) However, by way of contrast, as the interest of the Community industry itself confirmed it, its interests would not be unduly negatively affected if the measures were to be temporarily adapted as they cannot currently fully satisfy the demands of customers in the EU10.(25) In such circumstances, it can reasonably be concluded that it is not in the Community interest to apply the existing measures without adaptation and that the temporary adaptation of the existing measures with regard to imports of the product concerned into the EU10 would not be such as to significantly undermine the desired level of trade defence.(26) To this end, different ways were examined on how to best protect the Community industry from injurious dumping whilst, at the same time, taking into account the Community interest aspects by lessening the economic shock of the anti-dumping duties to traditional buyers in the EU10 during the period of economic adjustment following the enlargement.(27) It was considered that this could be best achieved by allowing the traditional export volumes from Ukraine to the EU10 to be imported free of anti-dumping duties for a transitional period. In this context, any exports to the EU10 above these traditional export volumes would be subject to the normal anti-dumping duties, as would exports to the EU15.6.   Undertaking(28) Having assessed the different options on how best to allow these traditional export flows to the EU10 to continue, it was considered that the most appropriate means was through the acceptance of voluntary undertakings from the cooperating party with an element for quantitative ceilings. Therefore, in accordance with Article 8(2) of the basic Regulation, undertakings was suggested by the Commission to the exporting producer concerned and, as a result, an undertaking was subsequently offered by one exporting producer of the product concerned in Ukraine.(29) In this context, it should be noted that in accordance with Article 22(c) of the basic Regulation, the special circumstances of the enlargement were taken into account when the terms of the undertaking were established. They constitute a special measure in that they provide a temporary way of adapting existing measures for the EU25.(30) Import volumes (‘ceilings’) were therefore established for the exporting producer in Ukraine, using as a basis their traditional export volumes to EU10 in 2001, 2002 and 2003. It should be noted, however, that abnormal increases in export volumes to the EU10 observed in the last few months of 2003 and the first months of 2004 were deducted from its traditional volumes used for determining the ceilings.(31) When selling to the EU10 under the terms of their undertakings, the exporting producers concerned should agree to broadly respect their traditional selling patterns to individual customers in the EU10. The exporting producers should therefore be aware that any undertaking offer can only be considered as practicable, and therefore acceptable if, for sales covered by the undertakings, they would broadly maintain such traditional patterns of trade with their customers in the EU10.(32) The exporting producers should also be aware that, under the terms of the undertakings, if it is found that these sales patterns change significantly, or that the undertakings become in any way difficult or impossible to monitor, the Commission is entitled to withdraw acceptance of the company's undertaking resulting in definitive anti-dumping duties being imposed in its place at the level specified in Regulation (EC) No 1100/2000 or it may adjust the level of the ceiling, or it may take other remedial action.(33) Accordingly, any undertaking offers respecting the above conditions may be accepted by the Commission by Commission Regulation.D.   AMENDMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 1100/2000(34) In view of the above, it is necessary to provide, in the event of undertakings being accepted by the Commission in a subsequent Commission Regulation, for the possibility to exempt imports to the Community made under the terms of such undertakings from the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1100/2000 by amending that Regulation,. 1.   The Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking increasing the volume of imports subject to the undertaking accepted by its Decision 94/202/EC as regards imports of silicon carbide originating in Russia. Any such increase shall be calculated by using the same calculation method that was used when the original ceiling was calculated for the Community of 15 Member States. The original ceiling was calculated and established for each subsequent year in the second half of the current year as a proportion of the Community consumption on the basis of the year previous to the current year.2.   The Commission may modify the undertaking accordingly. Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2000 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:‘4.   Imports declared for release into free circulation shall be exempt from the anti-dumping duties imposed by Article 1, provided that they are produced by companies from which undertakings are accepted by the Commission and whose names are listed in the relevant Commission Regulation, as from time to time amended, and have been imported in conformity with the provisions of the same Commission Regulation. These imports shall be exempt from the anti-dumping duty on condition that:(a) the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the product described in Article 1,(b) a commercial invoice containing at least the elements listed in the Annex is presented to Member States' customs authorities upon presentation of the declaration for release into free circulation; and(c) the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the description on the commercial invoice.’ The text as set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be added to Regulation (EC) No 1100/2000.

32716,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1168/2006 of  31 July 2006  implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 as regards a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in laying hens of  Gallus gallus  and amending Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005   (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1) and, in particular Article 4(1) and Article 13 thereof,Whereas:(1) The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is to ensure that proper and effective measures are taken to detect and control salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health.(2) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides for a Community target is to be established for the reduction of the prevalence of all salmonella serotypes with public health significance in laying hens of Gallus gallus at the level of primary production. Such reduction is important in view of the strict measures which are to apply to infected flocks in accordance with that Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 from December 2009 on. In particular, eggs originating from flocks with unknown salmonella status, that are suspected of being infected or from infected flocks may be used for human consumption only if treated in a manner that guarantees the elimination of salmonella serotypes with public health significance in accordance with Community legislation on food hygiene.(3) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides that the Community target is to include a numerical expression of the maximum percentage of epidemiological units remaining positive and/or the minimum percentage of reduction in the number of epidemiological units remaining positive, the maximum time limit within which the target must be achieved and the definition of the testing schemes necessary to verify achievement of the target. It is also to include a definition, where relevant, of serotypes with public health significance.(4) In order to set the Community target, comparable data on the prevalence of the concerned salmonella serotypes in laying hens of Gallus gallus in Member States have been collected in accordance with Commission Decision 2004/665/EC of 22 September 2004 concerning a baseline study on the prevalence of salmonella in laying flocks of Gallus gallus (2).(5) Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides that for a transitional period of three years, the Community target for laying hens of Gallus gallus is to cover Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium.(6) In order to verify achievement of the Community target, it is necessary to organise repeated sampling of flocks.(7) In accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on the setting of the Community target for laying hens of Gallus gallus.(8) Since the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 as regards a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus and amending Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, alternative analysis methods have been developed and validated. In addition salmonella strains detected in breeding flocks should be stored for future phagetyping and anti-microbial susceptibility testing. Therefore Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 should be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Community target1.   The Community target referred to in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 for the reduction of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium in adult laying hens of Gallus gallus (Community target) shall be as follows:(a) An annual minimum percentage of reduction of positive flocks of adult laying hens equal to at least:(i) 10 % if the prevalence in the preceding year was less than 10 %;(ii) 20 % if the prevalence in the preceding year was between 10 and 19 %;(iii) 30 % if the prevalence in the preceding year was between 20 and 39 %;(iv) 40 % if the prevalence in the preceding year was 40 % or more;(b) a reduction of the maximum percentage to 2 % or less; however, for Member States with less than 50 flocks of adult laying hens, not more than one adult flock may remain positive.The first target should be achieved in 2008 based on the monitoring starting in the beginning of that year. With regard to the target in 2008, the results of the baseline study as carried out pursuant to Article 1(1) of Decision 2004/665/EC shall be used as reference referred to in this Article.2.   The testing scheme to verify the progress on the achievement of the Community target is set out in the Annex.The achievement shall be evaluated taking into account the results of three consecutive years.When not described in the Annex, the technical specifications referred to in Article 5 of Commission Decision 2004/665/EC shall be considered as recommendations for the implementation of this point in the national control programmes.3.   The Commission shall consider a review of the testing scheme in the Annex based on the experience gained during the first year of the control programme as referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 (the national control programme). Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005, the following points 3.4 and 3.5 are inserted:‘3.4.   Alternative methodsWith regard to samples taken at the initiative of the operator, the methods of analysis provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 (3), may be used instead of the methods for the preparation of samples, detection methods and serotyping provided for in point 3 of this Annex, if validated in accordance with EN/ISO 16140/2003.3.5.   Storage of strainsAt least the strains isolated as part of the official controls, shall be stored for future phagetyping or anti-microbial susceptibility testing, using the normal methods for culture collection, which must ensure the integrity of the strains for a minimum period of two years.

The first sampling shall take place at the age of 24 ± 2 weeks.Sampling by the competent authority shall take place at least:(a) in one flock per year per holding comprising at least 1 000 birds;(b) at the age of 24 ± 2 weeks in laying flocks housed in buildings where salmonella was detected in the preceding flock;(c) in any case of suspicion of Salmonella enteritidis or Salmonella typhimurium infection, as a result of the epidemiological investigation of food-borne outbreaks in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1);(d) in all other laying flocks on the holding in case Salmonella enteritidis or Salmonella typhimurium are detected in one laying flock on the holding;(e) in cases where the competent authority considers it appropriate.A sampling carried out by the competent authority may replace one sampling at the initiative of the operator.2.2.   Sampling protocolIn order to maximise sensitivity of sampling, both faecal material and the environment shall be sampled at least as provided for in (a) and (b):(a) In cage flocks, 2 × 150 grams of naturally pooled faeces shall be taken from all belts or scrapers in the house after running the manure removal system; however, in the case of step cage houses without scrapers or belts 2 × 150 grams of mixed fresh faeces must be collected from 60 different places beneath the cages in the dropping pits.(b) In barn or free-range houses, two pairs of boot swabs or socks be taken, without changing overboots between boot swabs.In the case of sampling by the competent authority, 250 ml containing at least 100 gram of dust shall be collected from prolific sources of dust throughout the house. If there is not sufficient dust, an additional sample of 150 grams naturally pooled faeces or an additional pair of boot swabs or socks shall be taken.In the case of sampling referred to in point 2.1(b), (c) and (d), the competent authority shall satisfy itself by conduction further tests as appropriate that the results of examinations for salmonella in birds are not affected by the use of antimicrobials in the flocks.Where the presence of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium is not detected but antimicrobials or bacterial growth inhibitory effect are it shall be accounted for as an infected laying flock for the purpose of the Community target referred to in Article 1(2).3.   EXAMINATION OF THE SAMPLES3.1.   Transport and preparation of the samplesSamples shall be sent by express mail or courier to the laboratories referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, on the day of collection. At the laboratory, samples shall be kept refrigerated until examination, which shall be carried out within 48 hours following receipt.3.1.1.   Boot swab samples(a) The two pairs of boot swabs (‘or socks’) shall be carefully unpacked to avoid dislodging adherent faecal material, pooled and placed in 225 ml Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) which has been pre-warmed to room temperature;(b) The sample shall be swirled to fully saturate it and culture shall be continued by using the detection method in 3.2.3.1.2.   Other faecal material and dust samples(a) The faeces samples shall be pooled and thoroughly mixed and a 25 gram sub-sample shall be collected for culture.(b) The 25 gram sub-sample shall be added to 225 ml of BPW which has been pre-warmed to room temperature.(c) Culture of the sample shall be continued by using the detection method in 3.2.If ISO standards on the preparation of faeces for the detection of salmonella are agreed on, they shall be applied and replace the above provisions on sampling preparation.3.2.   Detection methodThe method recommended by the Community Reference Laboratory (CRL) for Salmonella in Bilthoven, the Netherlands, for detection shall be used. This method is described in the current version of draft Annex D of ISO 6579 (2002): ‘Detection of Salmonella spp. in animal faeces and in samples of the primary production stage’. In this method, a semi-solid medium (modified semi-solid Rappaport-Vassiladis medium, MSRV) is used as the single selective enrichment medium.3.3.   SerotypingAt least one isolate from each positive sample shall be serotyped, following the Kaufmann-White scheme.3.4.   Alternative methodsWith regard to samples taken at the initiative of the operator, the methods of analysis provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 (2), may be used instead of the methods for the preparation of samples, detection methods and serotyping provided for in point 3 of this Annex, if validated in accordance with EN/ISO 16140/2003.3.5.   Storage of strainsAt least the strains isolated from samples collected by the competent authority, shall be stored for future phagetyping or anti-microbial susceptibility testing, using the normal methods for culture collection, which must ensure integrity of the strains for a minimum of two years.4.   RESULTS AND REPORTINGA laying flock shall be considered positive for the purpose of verifying the achievement of the Community target, where the presence of Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium (other than vaccine strains) was detected in one or more samples in the laying flock. Positive laying flocks shall be counted only once, irrespective of the number of sampling and testing operations and only be reported in the first year of detection.Reporting shall include:(a) the total number of flocks of laying hens tested and the number of laying flocks tested for each status of sampling referred to in point 2.1;(b) the total number of infected flocks and the results of the testing for each status of sampling referred to in point 2.1;(c) explanations on the results, in particular concerning exceptional cases.The results referred to in this point and any additional relevant information shall be reported as part of the report on trends and sources provided for in Article 9(1) of Directive 2003/99/EC.(1)  OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31.(2)  OJ L 191, 28.5.2004, p. 1.

36850,"Commission Directive 2009/135/EC of 3 November 2009 allowing temporary derogations to certain eligibility criteria for whole blood and blood components donors laid down in Annex III to Directive 2004/33/EC in the context of a risk of shortage caused by the Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 2002/98/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 January 2003 setting standards of quality and safety for the collection, testing, processing, storage and distribution of human blood and blood components and amending Directive 2001/83/EC (1), and in particular point (d) of the second paragraph of article 29 thereof,Whereas:(1) The ongoing pandemic, recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in accordance with the International Health Regulations (2005), of Influenza A(H1N1), as defined in Commission Decision 2000/96/EC (2) as amended by Commission Decision 2009/539/EC (3) may temporarily put at risk at short term the supply of blood and blood components in the Member States by affecting both donors and the staff of national blood services. Contingency plans may therefore be necessary to secure a continuous supply of blood and blood components. Those plans should combine operational, communication and regulatory instruments.(2) The available regulatory instruments consist in easing, on an exceptional and temporary basis, some of the eligibility criteria for donors laid down in Annex III to Commission Directive 2004/33/EC of 22 March 2004 implementing Directive 2002/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain technical requirements for blood and blood components (4) in order to increase the blood supply.(3) The relaxation of those criteria should be the last recourse measure after organisational measures to optimise the blood supply chain, communication campaigns towards donors and optimisation of the clinical use of blood reveal to be insufficient to compensate a blood shortage or to prevent such a shortage.(4) The WHO published on 11 October 2007 a recommendation on maintaining safe and adequate blood supply in the event of pandemic influenza (5), providing that any relaxation of eligibility criteria should be limited to pandemic period phase 6 according to the WHO's global influenza preparedness plan (6).(5) Haemoglobin thresholds of donors set out in point 1.2 of Annex III to Directive 2004/33/EC do not always reflect the actual iron stores of the donors and therefore are not always baseline reference values for diagnosis of anaemia. These are precautionary thresholds insofar as these reference values are lower in some Member States than in others, due to specific population related or regional circumstances As a result persons who could donate safely are discarded due to haemoglobin rates below the regulatory standard. Therefore, in the context of the ongoing Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic, those levels could be reduced by a maximum of 5g/l for both women and men without putting at risk the health of the donors. In any case, the eligibility of each donor is assessed by qualified health professionals in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2002/98/EC, who may, in appreciation of the effective risk situation, discard the donor concerned.(6) The European Commission asked the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) to perform a risk assessment of a temporary reduction of the deferral period of donors after recovery of a flu-like episode in the context of the Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic. The assessment delivered on 9 October 2009 concluded that the increased risk with respect to both donors and recipients, if the deferral period is reduced to 7 days, is very low and in any case should be out-weighted by the risk of blood shortage.(7) As a matter of urgency, the Member States should therefore be allowed to derogate exceptionally and temporarily from those eligibility criteria, provided that the conditions set out in this Directive are met.(8) Having regard to the imminent nature of the risk of shortage caused by the ongoing Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic, this Directive should enter into force immediately so as to enable the Member States to transpose it and to put in place the necessary measures within the shortest time possible.(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are designed to respond to a temporary situation related to the specific Influenza A(H1N1) virus. This Directive should therefore apply until 30 June 2010. By then, the 2009/2010 peak period of the Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic should have elapsed, the risks of shortage should thus have at least lessened, and more detailed data on the epidemiology of the disease and on vaccination will be available.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 28 of Directive 2002/98/EC,. Derogations to certain eligibility criteria for donors1.   Member States confronted with a serious risk of shortage or an actual shortage in the supply of blood and blood components directly due to the A(H1N1) Influenza pandemic, may, on a temporary basis:(a) by way of derogation from point 1.2 of Annex III to Directive 2004/33/EC, reduce the minimum haemoglobin levels in donors blood to no less than 120 g/l for females and 130 g/l for males;(b) by way of derogation from point 2.2.1 of Annex III to Directive 2004/33/EC, apply a deferral period of no less than 7 days after cessation of symptoms of a flu-like illness.2.   The implementation of the derogations referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the following conditions:(a) the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission without delay of the measures it intends to take or has taken pursuant to paragraph 1;(b) the Member State shall communicate to the Commission justifications as to the necessity of those measures, notably as to the extent of the risk of shortage, or of the actual shortage, of blood and blood components, including a description of the criteria and methodology used to assess that necessity;(c) as soon as, according to the same criteria and methodology referred to in point (b), the supply of blood and blood components comes back to a sufficient level, the Member State concerned shall terminate the implementation of the temporary derogations referred to in paragraph 1 and inform the Commission thereof. Transposition1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2009 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive. Entry into forceThis Directive shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply until 30 June 2010.

29560,"2005/626/EC: Commission Decision of 23 August 2005 on the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for essential uses in the Community in 2005 under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2005) 333)   (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) The Community has already phased out the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride,1,1,1-trichloroethane, hydrobromofluorocarbon and bromo-chloromethane.(2) Each year the Commission is required to determine essential uses for these controlled substances, the quantities that may be used and the companies that may use them.(3) Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, hereinafter ‘the Montreal Protocol’, sets out the criteria used by the Commission for determining any essential uses and authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances in each Party.(4) Decision XV/8 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances listed in Annexes A, B and C (Group II and III substances) of the Montreal Protocol for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties, Decision VII/11 and Decision XI/15 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol.(5) Pursuant to paragraph 3 of Decision XII/2 of the Twelfth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on measures to facilitate the transition to chlorofluorocarbon-free Metered-Dose Inhalers (MDIs), Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Norway, Portugal, The Netherlands, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom have notified the United Nations Environment Programme (2) that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are no longer essential for the manufacture of CFC-MDIs that contain active ingredients belonging to the therapeutic categories of ‘short-acting beta agonist bronchiodilators’, ‘inhaled steroids’ and ‘anticholinergic bronchiodilators’. Article 4(4)(i)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prevents CFCs from being used and placed on the market unless they are considered essential under the conditions described in Article 3(1) of that Regulation. These non-essentiality determinations have reduced the demand for CFCs in the Community. In addition, Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prevents CFC-MDI products being imported and placed on the market unless the CFCs in these products are considered essential under the conditions described in Article 3(1).(6) The Commission has published a Notice (3) on the 22 July 2004 to those companies in the Community of 25 Member States that request consideration by the Commission for the use of controlled substances for essential uses in the Community in 2005 and has received declarations on intended essential uses of controlled substances in 2005.(7) For the purpose of ensuring that interested companies and operators may continue to benefit in due time from the licensing system, it is appropriate that the present decision shall apply from 1 January 2005.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee established by Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000,. 1.   The quantity of controlled substances of Group I (chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 which may be used for essential medical uses in the Community in 2005 shall be 1 029 770,00 ODP (4) kilograms.2.   The quantity of controlled substances of Group I (chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115) and Group II (other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 which may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2005 shall be 63 081,71 ODP kilograms.3.   The quantity of controlled substances of Group III (halons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory use in the Community in 2005 shall be 70,705 ODP kilograms.4.   The quantity of controlled substances of Group IV (carbon tetrachloride) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2005 shall be 145 240,293 ODP kilograms.5.   The quantity of controlled substances of Group V (1,1,1-trichloroethane) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the European Union in 2005 shall be 815,30 ODP kilograms.6.   The quantity of controlled substances of Group VII (hydrobromofluorocarbons) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2005 shall be 3,04 ODP kilograms.7.   The quantity of controlled substances of group IX (bromochloromethane) subject to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 that may be used for essential laboratory uses in the Community in 2005 shall be 12,048 ODP kilograms. The chlorofluorocarbon metered-dose inhalers (CFC-MDIs) listed in Annex I shall not be placed on markets that have determined CFCs for these products to be non-essential. During the period 1 January to 31 December 2005 the following rules shall apply:1. The allocation of essential medical use quotas for chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 shall be to the companies indicated in Annex II.2.

29780,"Directive 2005/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of  14 December 2005  amending for the 22nd time Council Directive 76/769/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (phthalates in toys and childcare articles). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),Whereas:(1) Article 14 of the Treaty establishes an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured.(2) Work on the internal market should improve the quality of life, health protection and consumer safety. This Directive complies with the requirements of ensuring a high level of health protection and of consumer protection in the definition and implementation of all Community policies and activities.(3) The use of certain phthalates in toys and childcare articles made of plasticised material or including parts made of plasticised material should be prohibited as the presence of certain phthalates presents or could potentially present risks related to the health of children. Toys and childcare articles which, although not intended for that purpose, can be put in the mouth, may under certain circumstances present a risk to the health of small children if they are made of plasticised material, or include parts made of plasticised material, which contains certain phthalates.(4) The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the Environment (SCTEE), after being consulted by the Commission, has delivered opinions on the health risks raised by these phthalates.(5) Commission Recommendation 98/485/EC of 1 July 1998 on childcare articles and toys intended to be placed in the mouth by children of less than three years of age, made of soft PVC containing certain phthalates (4), invited Member States to take measures to ensure a high level of child health protection with regard to these products.(6) Since 1999, the use of six phthalates in toys and childcare articles intended to be placed in the mouth by children under the age of three is subject to a temporary ban at European Union level following the adoption of Commission Decision 1999/815/EC (5) in the framework of Council Directive 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety (6). This Decision is being renewed regularly.(7) Limitations already adopted by certain Member States on the placing on the market of toys and childcare articles because of their phthalate content directly affect the completion and functioning of the internal market. It is therefore necessary to approximate the laws of the Member States in this field and consequently to amend Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC (7).(8) The precautionary principle should be applied where scientific evaluation does not allow the risk to be determined with sufficient certainty in order to ensure a high level of protection of health, in particular for children.(9) Children as developing organisms are particularly vulnerable to reprotoxic substances. Therefore, the exposure of children to all practically avoidable sources of emissions of these substances, especially from articles which are put into the mouth by children, should be reduced as far as possible.(10) During risk assessments and/or within the framework of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (8), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) have been identified as reprotoxic substances and have therefore been classified as reprotoxic, category 2.(11) Scientific information regarding di-isononyl phthalate (DINP), di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP) is either lacking or conflictual, but it cannot be excluded that they pose a potential risk if used in toys and childcare articles, which are by definition produced for children.(12) The uncertainties in the evaluation of exposure to these phthalates, such as mouthing times and exposure to emissions from other sources, require that precautionary considerations be taken into account. Therefore, restrictions on the use of these phthalates for toys and childcare articles and on the placing on the market of such articles should be introduced. However, the restrictions for DINP, DIDP and DNOP should be less severe than the ones proposed for DEHP, DBP and BBP for reasons of proportionality.(13) The Commission should review other applications of articles made from plasticised material or including parts made from plasticised material which may expose people to risks, especially those used in medical devices.(14) In line with the Commission Communication on the Precautionary Principle, the measures based on this principle should be subject to review in the light of new scientific information.(15) The Commission, in cooperation with the Member State authorities responsible for market surveillance and enforcement for toys and childcare articles, and in consultation with the relevant organisations of producers and importers, should monitor the use of phthalates and other substances as plasticisers in toys and childcare articles.(16) For the purpose of Directive 76/769/EEC, the term ‘childcare article’ should be defined.(17) In accordance with paragraph 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-making (9), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interest of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public.(18) The Commission will review the use of the phthalates listed in Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC in other products when the risk evaluation under Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances (10) will have been concluded.(19) This Directive applies without prejudice to Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers contained in Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (11) and in individual directives based thereon, in particular Council Directive 90/394/EEC of 28 June 1990 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens at work (12) and Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on protection of health and safety of workers from the risk related to chemical agents at work (13),. Directive 76/769/EEC is amended as follows:1. the following point shall be added to Article 1(3):‘(c) “childcare article” means any product intended to facilitate sleep, relaxation, hygiene, the feeding of children or sucking on the part of children.’2. Annex I shall be amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. The Commission shall re-evaluate, by 16 January 2010 at the latest, the measures provided for in Directive 76/769/EEC as amended by this Directive in the light of new scientific information on substances described in the Annex to this Directive and their substitutes, and if justified, these measures shall be modified accordingly. 1.   By 16 July 2006 Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

26950,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 2044/2003 of 20 November 2003 establishing administrative procedures for the second tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 2(3) and (4), Article 6(3) and Articles 13, 23 and 24 thereof,Whereas:(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 427/2003(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1985/2003(4), sets forth annual quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China listed in Annex I to that Regulation. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas.(2) In view of the enlargement of the European Community on 1 May 2004, the quotas set forth in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 427/2003 have been increased by Council Regulation (EC) No 1985/2003.(3) Given that on 1 May 2004 the European Community will be enlarged, it is appropriate to allocate the 2004 quota in two tranches, the first one from January to April 2004 to importers in the current Member States and the second one from May to December 2004 to importers in all countries that will be Member States from May 2004 onwards.(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1351/2003(5) established administrative procedures for the first tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China.(5) This Regulation shall allocate the quotas relating to quantities for May to December 2004.(6) The Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96(7), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. These provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation.(7) Certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota period. It is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realisation of the planned imports. In order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the second tranche of the 2004 quotas should accordingly be adopted before May 2004.(8) After examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted. Under this method the quotas are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants.(9) This has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows.(10) The reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for the traditional importers in the Community in the previous Regulation on the administration of these quotas cannot be updated. The years 2000 and 2001 were characterised by certain distortions, in particular a more than twofold increase of applications from one Member State, which resulted in substantially reduced individual quota allocations to all non-traditional importers in all Member States. In 2002, there was a significant increase in applications by non-traditional importers from United Kingdom companies to other Member States suggesting an effort to circumvent the related-persons test. Also, investigations are ongoing into a number of 2002 and 2003 licence holders that may have breached the related-persons test. The years 1998 or 1999 are therefore the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question imported by the importers in the Community. Traditional importers in the Community must, therefore, prove that they have imported products originating in the People's Republic of China and covered by the quotas in question in the years 1998 or 1999. The years 2001 and 2002 are the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question imported by importers in the acceding States. Given that the large majority of importers in the acceding States were not subject to import restrictions and therefore were under no legal requirement to keep import documents for both 1998 and 1999, the provision of evidence concerning 1998 and 1999 would impose disproportionate burdens on them. Traditional importers in the acceding States must therefore prove that they have imported in 2001 or 2002 products originating in the People's Republic of China and covered by the quotas in question.(11) It has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers. Consequently, in accordance with Article 2(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.(12) The Commission considers it necessary that operators applying as non-traditional importers and falling under the definition of related persons within the meaning of Article 143 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) 2913/92(8) establishing the Community Customs Code, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 881/2003(9), may only submit a single licence application for each line of the quota set aside for non-traditional importers. In order to exclude speculative applications, the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume.(13) It is appropriate to set the quota share reserved to traditional importers at 75 % and the share of non-traditional importers at 25 %.(14) It also appears appropriate to transfer quantities not taken up by non-traditional importers to traditional importers, in order to ensure that these quantities can still be allocated in the year in which they were attributed.(15) For the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and non-traditional importers.(16) The Member States and acceding States shall inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. The information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question.(17) To enable traditional Community importers to continue their business practices of importing the entire amount of their guaranteed quantities early in the quota year and to ensure competitiveness with importers in acceding States who are not subject to licence requirements before 1 May 2004, licences issued by the competent national authorities in the Member States shall be issued as soon as possible after the adoption of the quantitative criteria by the Commission. They shall be valid from the date of issuance until 31 December 2004.(18) These measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up in accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,. This Regulation lays down specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1985/2003, amending Regulation (EC) No 427/2003 for the quotas relating to quantities for May to December 2004.Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation. 1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.2. The portions of each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and non-traditional importers for the second tranche of the 2004 quotas are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.3. (a) The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested. The volume requested by each applicant may not exceed that shown in Annex II.(b) Operators that are deemed to be related persons as defined by Article 143 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 may only submit a single licence application for the portion of the quota set aside for non-traditional importers regarding the goods described in the application. In addition to the statement required by Article 3(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 738/94, as amended by Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 983/96, the licence application for the non-traditional quota shall state that the applicant is not related to any other operator applying for the non-traditional quota line in question.(c) Those proportions of the quantities reserved for non-traditional importers and not allocated will be added to the quantities reserved for traditional importers. Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex III to this Regulation from the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, until 15.00 (Brussels time) on 31 December 2003. 1. For the purposes of allocating the portion of each quota set aside for the traditional importers, ""traditional"" importers shall mean:- operators established in the Community before 1 May 2004, who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar year 1998 or 1999 into the Community,- operators established in one of the acceding States before 1 May 2004 who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar year 2001 or 2002 into the acceding States.2. The supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall relate to the release for free circulation during either calendar year 1998 or 1999 for traditional importers established in the Community and either calendar year 2001 or 2002 for traditional importers established in the acceding States, as indicated by the importer, of products originating in the People's Republic of China which are covered by the quota in respect of which the application is made.3. Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national authorities on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during either the calendar year 1998 or 1999 (Community Member States) or the calendar year 2001 or 2002 (acceding States) carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over. Member States and acceding States shall inform the Commission no later than 10.00 (Brussels time) on 23 January 2004 of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4(1) of this Regulation. The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 10 February 2004. Import licences issued by the competent national authorities in acceding States shall be valid from 1 May 2004 to 31 December 2004. Import licences issued by the competent national authorities in the Member States shall be issued as soon as possible after the adoption of the quantitative criteria by the Commission. They shall be valid from the date of issuance until 31 December 2004.

The Commission has published in the Official Journal of the European Union successive lists of applicants (5) for which payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.(2) The Commission requested and received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests.

Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) is listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC as an exotic disease of certain susceptible species of fish.(3) Article 20(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 provides that for a transitional period until 31 December 2010, Member States may authorise the import of ornamental aquatic animals of species susceptible to EUS intended solely for closed ornamental facilities from third countries or territories that are members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).(4) Part II.2 of the model animal health certificate applicable to ornamental aquatic animals intended for closed facilities set out in Part B of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 sets out certain import requirements related to EUS. The second sub-paragraph of Article 20(5) of that Regulation provides that these requirements shall not apply during the transitional period referred to above.(5) Further studies are needed at present to assess more precisely the risks associated with the import into the Union of such ornamental aquatic animals. In order not to disrupt trade in those animals, it is appropriate to prolong until 31 December 2012 the period of application of the transitional measures currently laid down in Article 20(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008.(6) In addition, certain other transitional provisions currently laid down in Article 20 of that Regulation are no longer applicable. In the interests of conciseness and clarity of Union legislation, it is appropriate to delete those provisions.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 is replaced by the following:‘Article 20For a transitional period until 31 December 2012, Member States may authorise the import of ornamental aquatic animals of species susceptible to epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) intended solely for closed ornamental facilities from third countries or territories that are Members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).During that transitional period, the requirements concerning EUS set out in Part II.2 of the model animal health certificate set out in Part B of Annex IV, shall not apply to ornamental aquatic animals intended solely for closed ornamental facilities.’ In note (3) to Part II.2 of the model animal health certificate set out in Part B of Annex IV, the date ‘1 January 2011’ is replaced by ‘1 January 2013’.For a transitional period until 31 December 2012, consignments of ornamental aquatic animals accompanied by animal health certificates issued in accordance with Part B of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 before the amendments introduced by the present Regulation, may continue to be imported into or transited through the Union. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 January 2011.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

40516,"2012/69/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 3 February 2012 amending Decisions 2007/305/EC, 2007/306/EC and 2007/307/EC as regards the tolerance period for traces of Ms1xRf1 (ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ1-4) hybrid oilseed rape, Ms1xRf2 (ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ2-5) hybrid oilseed rape and Topas 19/2 (ACS-BNØØ7-1) oilseed rape, as well as of their derived products (notified under document C(2012) 518). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 8(6) and 20(6) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Decisions 2007/305/EC (2), 2007/306/EC (3) and 2007/307/EC (4) set out the rules for the withdrawal from the market of the following genetically modified material (‘the GM material’): Ms1xRf1 (ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ1-4) hybrid oilseed rape, Ms1xRf2 (ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ2-5) hybrid oilseed rape and Topas 19/2 (ACS-BNØØ7-1) oilseed rape, as well as their derived products. Those Decisions have been adopted after the notifier of the GM material had indicated to the Commission that it had no intention to submit an application for renewal of the authorisation of that material in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 8(4), Article 11, Article 20(4) and Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.(2) All three Decisions provide for a transitional period of time of 5 years, during which food and feed containing the GM material are allowed to be placed on the market, in accordance with Article 4(2) or Article 16(2) of the Regulation, subject to a number of conditions. The Decisions require in particular that the presence of the GM material in food and feed does not exceed a threshold of 0,9 % and that the presence of this GM material be adventitious or technically unavoidable. The purpose of the transitional period is to take into consideration the fact that minute traces of the GM material can be present in the food and feed chain some time after the notifier has decided to stop selling seeds derived from the GMO, even if the notifier has taken all measures to avoid that presence.(3) Decisions 2007/305/EC and 2007/306/EC also set out a series of measures that the notifier has to take to ensure the effective withdrawal from the market of Ms1xRf1 (ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ1-4) hybrid oilseed rape, Ms1xRf2 (ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ2-5) hybrid oilseed rape and their derived products. Similar measures were not considered necessary in Decision 2007/307/EC since the notifier had stopped selling seeds of oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ7-1 after the 2003 planting season and in light of the fact that stocks of products derived from ACS-BNØØ7-1 oilseed rape had been used up before 18 April 2007. However, given that minute traces of ACS-BNØØ7-1 oilseed rape might remain present in food or feed products for a certain period of time it was necessary to adopt Decision 2007/307/EC.(4) In the absence of experience or concrete data on the time needed to ensure a complete withdrawal from the market of the GM material, the tolerated level of presence of that material and the time needed to ensure total withdrawal from the food and feed chains provided for in Decisions 2007/305/EC, 2007/306/EC and 2007/307/EC were set on the basis of data available at this time and results of testing by stakeholders.(5) In accordance with the requirements of Decisions 2007/305/EC and 2007/306/EC, the authorisation holder submitted detailed reports in October 2007 and November 2011 on the implementation of discontinuation measures for the above GM oilseed rape events. These reports outline past and current measures which have been implemented by the authorisation holder in accordance with the abovementioned decisions to ensure the removal of this GM material from the market. These include, among others, steps taken to inform commercial operators in the EU of the discontinued status of this GM material, the implementation of a series of measures to ensure the recall and destruction of remaining commercial seed stock, the conclusion of agreements with all third parties involved in the commercialisation of this GM material to ensure that the seed from this GM material is either sent back to the authorisation holder or is effectively destroyed, the actions undertaken to ensure the deregistration of registered varieties of the event concerned from the national seed catalogue and the implementation of an in-house program based on a quality assurance process to avoid the presence of these GM events in breeding and seed production.(6) Recent test results notified by stakeholders to the Commission show that the measures undertaken by the authorisation holder have allowed the removal of nearly all the GM material from the market. However, these results also show that minute traces (< 0,1 %) of the GM material may still be present in the food or feed chain at the end of the transitional period set out in Decisions 2007/305/EC, 2007/306/EC and 2007/307/EC. The presence of remaining traces after the expiry date set out in these decisions, despite the measures undertaken by the notifier, can be explained by the biology of oilseed rape which can remain dormant for long periods as well as by the farm practices which have been employed to harvest the seed and resulting accidental spillage, the level of which was difficult to estimate at the date of adoption of the three abovementioned Decisions.(7) Against this background it is necessary to extend the current transitional period of time for another 5 years, that is until 31 December 2016. This supplementary transitional period should provide sufficient time to allow the total removal of the GM material from the food and feed chain, taking into account the abovementioned parameters linked to the biology of oilseed rape and the past farming practices used to harvest the crops.(8) In order to further contribute to the removal of oilseed rape ACS-BNØØ7-1 from the food and feed chains, it is also appropriate to provide in Decision 2007/307/EC that the notifier implements an in-house program to avoid the presence of this event in the breeding and seed production process.(9) By 1 January 2014, the notifier should submit a report to the Commission providing information on the implementation during the additional period of time granted by this decision of the measures set out in the Annex to Decisions 2007/305/EC and 2007/306/EC, as well as in Article 1(1) of Decision 2007/307/EC.(10) In view of the very low trace levels which have been reported, it is appropriate to reduce to 0,1 % the level of presence of the GM material that is tolerated in food and feed.(11) Decisions 2007/305/EC, 2007/306/EC and 2007/307/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. 1.   Decision 2007/305/EC is amended as follows:(a) the second paragraph of Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:(b) Article 2 shall be replaced by the following:(a) provided that this presence is adventitious or technically unavoidable; and(b) in a proportion no higher than 0,1 %.’;2.   Decision 2007/306/EC is amended as follows:(a) the second paragraph of Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:(b) Article 2 is replaced by the following:(a) provided that this presence is adventitious or technically unavoidable; and(b) in a proportion no higher than 0,1 %.’;3.   Article 1 of Decision 2007/307/EC is replaced by the following:‘Article 11.   The notifier shall implement an in-house program to avoid the presence of ACS-BNØØ7-1 oilseed rape in breeding and seed production and shall report to the Commission on the implementation of this measure by 1 January 2014.3.2.   The presence of material which contains, consists of or is produced from ACS-BNØØ7-1 oilseed rape in food or feed products notified under Article 8(1)(a) and Article 20(1) of the Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 shall be tolerated until 31 December 2016:(a) provided that this presence is adventitious or technically unavoidable; and(b) in a proportion no higher than 0,1 %.’ The entries in the Community Register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, regarding ACS-BNØØ4-7, ACS-BNØØ1-4 and the hybrid combination ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ1-4 oilseed rape, ACS-BNØØ4-7, ACS-BNØØ2-5 and the hybrid combination ACS-BNØØ4-7xACS-BNØØ2-5 oilseed rape, and ACS-BNØØ7-1 oilseed rape shall be modified in order to take account of this Decision.

42720,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2013 of 26 July 2013 concerning the authorisation of ammonium chloride as a feed additive for ruminants, cats and dogs (holder of the authorisation BASF SE)  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).(2) Ammonium chloride was authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive, without a time limit, for use on cats and dogs and with a time limit for all pets with the exception of cats and dogs by Commission Directive 86/525/EEC (3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of ammonium chloride as a feed additive for cats and dogs and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for ruminants, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 24 May 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the ammonium chloride does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. It recognised that the ammonium chloride is a potent urinary acidifier and a supplementation of feed for ruminants, cats and dogs results in a decrease of the urinary pH. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of the ammonium chloride shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. AuthorisationThe ammonium chloride specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Transitional measuresThe additive specified in the Annex for use for cats and dogs and feed containing that additive, which are produced and labelled before 16 August 2015 in accordance with the rules applicable before 16 August 2013 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

5587,"2014/34/EU: Decision of the European Central Bank of 31 December 2013 on the paying-up of capital, transfer of foreign reserve assets and contributions by Latvijas Banka to the European Central Bank’s reserves and provisions (ECB/2013/53). ,Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 30.1, 30.3, 48.1 and 48.2 thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 1 of Council Decision 2013/387/EU of 9 July 2013 on the adoption by Latvia of the euro on 1 January 2014 (1), in accordance with Article 140(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Latvia fulfils the necessary conditions for adoption of the euro and the derogation granted to it under Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (2) will be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2014.(2) Article 48.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) provides that the national central bank (NCB) of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must pay up its subscribed share of the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) to the same extent as the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. The weighting of Latvijas Banka in the ECB’s capital key is 0,2821 %, pursuant to Article 2 of Decision ECB/2013/28 of 29 August 2013 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s capital (3). Latvijas Banka has already paid up part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, pursuant to Article 1 of Decision ECB/2013/20 of 21 June 2013 on the paying-up of the European Central Bank’s capital by the non-euro area national central banks (4). The outstanding amount is therefore EUR 29 424 263,59, which results from multiplying the ECB’s subscribed capital (EUR 10 825 007 069,61) by the capital key weighting of Latvijas Banka (0,2821 %), minus the part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital that has already been paid up.(3) Article 48.1, in conjunction with Article 30.1, of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the NCB of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must also transfer foreign reserve assets to the ECB. Pursuant to Article 48.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, the sum to be transferred is determined by multiplying the euro value at current exchange rates of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, by the ratio between the number of shares subscribed by the NCB concerned and the number of shares already paid up by the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. When determining the ‘foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB in accordance with Article 30.1’, due account should be taken of previous capital key adjustments (5) pursuant to Article 29.3 of the Statute of the ESCB and the ECB capital key expansions pursuant to Article 48.3 of the Statute of the ESCB (6). As a result, pursuant to Decision ECB/2013/26 of 29 August 2013 laying down the measures necessary for the contribution to the European Central Bank’s accumulated equity value and for adjusting the national central banks’ claims equivalent to the transferred foreign reserve assets (7), the euro equivalent of the foreign reserve assets which have already been transferred to the ECB under Article 30.1 of the Statute of the ESCB is EUR 50 715 061 570,77.(4) The foreign reserve assets to be transferred by Latvijas Banka should be in or be denominated in Japanese Yen and gold.(5) Article 30.3 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the ECB must credit each NCB of a Member State whose currency is the euro with a claim equivalent to the foreign reserve assets that it has transferred to the ECB. The provisions regarding the denomination and remuneration of the claims that have already been credited to the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (8) should also apply to the denomination and remuneration of the claims of Latvijas Banka.(6) Article 48.2 of the Statute of the ESCB provides that the NCB of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must contribute to the ECB’s reserves, to those provisions equivalent to reserves, and to the amount still to be appropriated to the reserves and provisions corresponding to the balance of the profit and loss account as at 31 December of the year prior to the abrogation of the derogation. The amount of this contribution is determined in accordance with Article 48.2 of the Statute of the ESCB.(7) By analogy with Article 3.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank (9), the Governor of Latvijas Banka has had the opportunity to make observations on this Decision before its adoption,. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Decision:(a) ‘foreign reserve assets’ means gold or cash;(b) ‘gold’ means fine troy ounces of gold in the form of London Good Delivery bars, as specified by the London Bullion Market Association;(c) ‘cash’ means the lawful currency of Japan (Japanese yen). Extent and form of paid-up capital1.   With effect from 1 January 2014, Latvijas Banka shall pay up the remaining parts of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, which correspond to EUR 29 424 263,59.2.   Latvijas Banka shall pay the amount specified in paragraph 1 to the ECB on 2 January 2014 by means of a separate transfer via the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2).3.   Latvijas Banka shall pay to the ECB on 2 January 2014, by a separate TARGET2 transfer, the interest accrued on 1 January 2014 on the amount due to the ECB under paragraph 2. This interest shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its most recent main refinancing operation. Transfer of foreign reserve assets1.   Latvijas Banka shall transfer to the ECB, with effect from 1 January 2014 and in accordance with this Article and the arrangements taken pursuant to it, an amount of foreign reserve assets denominated in Japanese yen and gold that is equivalent to EUR 205 272 581,13 as follows:Euro-equivalent amount of Japanese yen in cash Euro-equivalent amount of gold Aggregate euro-equivalent amount174 481 693,96 30 790 887,17 205 272 581,132.   The euro-equivalent amount of foreign reserve assets to be transferred by Latvijas Banka under paragraph 1 shall be calculated on the basis of the exchange rates between the euro and the Japanese yen established as a result of the 24-hour written consultation procedure on 31 December 2013 between the Eurosystem and Latvijas Banka and, in the case of gold, on the basis of the US dollar price of gold per fine troy ounce established in the London gold fixing at 10.30 a.m., London time, on 31 December 2013.3.   The ECB shall confirm to Latvijas Banka as soon as possible the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 2.4.   Latvijas Banka shall transfer to the ECB Japanese yen in cash.5.   The transfer of cash shall take place to such accounts as are specified by the ECB. The settlement date for the cash to be transferred to the ECB shall be 6 January 2014. Latvijas Banka shall give instructions to execute such transfer to the ECB.6.   The value of the gold which Latvijas Banka transfers to the ECB in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be as close as possible to, but no more than, EUR 30 790 887,17.7.   Latvijas Banka shall transfer the gold referred to in paragraph 1 in uninvested form to such accounts and such locations as are specified by the ECB. The settlement date for the gold to be transferred to the ECB shall be 3 January 2014. Latvijas Banka shall give instructions to execute such transfer to the ECB.8.   If Latvijas Banka transfers gold to the ECB with a value of less than the amount specified in paragraph 1, then on 6 January 2014 it shall transfer an amount of Japanese yen cash equivalent to the shortfall to an account of the ECB as specified by the ECB. Any such Japanese yen cash shall not form part of the foreign reserve assets denominated in Japanese yen, which Latvijas Banka transfers to the ECB in accordance with the left column of the table included in paragraph 1.9.   The difference, if any, between the aggregate euro-equivalent amount mentioned in paragraph 1 and the amount mentioned in Article 4(1) shall be settled in accordance with the Agreement of 31 December 2013 between Latvijas Banka and the European Central Bank regarding the claim credited to Latvijas Banka by the European Central Bank under Article 30.3 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (10).

2755,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 312/2001 of 15 February 2001 laying down detailed rules of application for the importation of olive oil originating in Tunisia and derogating from certain provisions of Regulations (EC) No 1476/95 and (EC) No 1291/2000. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 2000/822/EC of 22 December 2000 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Republic of Tunisia concerning reciprocal liberalisation measures and amendment of the Agricultural Protocols to the EC/Tunisia Association Agreement(1),Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(3),Whereas:(1) Decision 2000/822/EC introduces a special scheme under Article 3 of Protocol 1 of the Agreement for the import into the Community, at a zero rate of duty, of a quota of olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 and 1510, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from there to the Community.(2) The supply of olive oil to the Community market allows the proposed quantity to be disposed of in principle without disturbing the market, provided that the imports are not concentrated in a short period of the marketing year but are instead staggered between January and October. Provision should be made for import licences to be issued in the period in question according to a monthly schedule.(3) For the sound management of the quantity in question, a mechanism must be created that encourages the operators to return immediately to the issuing agency licences that they will not use. It is also necessary to create a mechanism encouraging the operators to return the licences to the issuing agency after their date of expiry so that the unused quantities can be re-used.(4) Oil imported from Tunisia under the special scheme may not exceed a given quantity. Therefore, the tolerance laid down in Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(4) should not be applied.(5) Special detailed rules relating to the imports should be laid down. It is necessary in particular to fix the term of validity of the licences and the amount of the applicable security, notwithstanding Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1476/95(5).(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oil and Fats,. 1.

The import licences shall be issued up to the quota limit laid down for each year.2. For each year and without prejudice to the limit laid down for the tariff quota bearing the serial No 09.4032, licences may be issued in accordance with the conditions laid down in the first paragraph, up to a limit of:- 1000 tonnes for each month of January and February,- 4000 tonnes for the month of March,- 8000 tonnes for the month of April,- 10000 tonnes for each month from May to October.If one of the monthly quantities referred to in the preceding paragraph is not used entirely in the month in question, what remains of this quantity can be used the following month, once the quantity for that month has been exhausted, but may not be carried over thereafter.3. For the purposes of calculating the quantity authorised each month, where a week begins in one month and finishes in the following month, it must be considered part of the month in which the Thursday falls. 1. With a view to applying the exemption from customs duty referred to in Article 1, importers must submit an import licence application to the competent authorities of the Member States. Such applications must be accompanied by a copy of the purchase contract concluded with the Tunisian exporter.2. Import licence applications must be submitted on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week and the Member States shall notify the Commission the following working day of the information contained therein.3. The Commission shall draw up a weekly total of the quantities for which import licences have been submitted. Where there is a risk of the monthly quota being exhausted, the Commission shall limit the issue of licences in proportion to the quantity available and, if appropriate, shall inform the Member States that the maximum quantity laid down for the year has been reached.4. The licences shall be issued on the third working day following that of the notification referred to in paragraph 2, provided that the Commission has not taken any measures within that period. 1. Import licences as provided for in Article 1(1) shall be valid for 60 days from the date of issue within the meaning of Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000.2.

34717,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2007 of 9 October 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,Whereas:(1) In order to maintain the structural balance of the market, the Commission may decide to withdraw sugar from the market. In the case where a preventive withdrawal is decided, it is necessary to limit the scope of the obligation provided for in Article 6(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (1), so as to avoid imposing on sugar undertakings an obligation to pay the minimum price for quantities of beet corresponding to their entire quota, including those quantities which may be produced beyond the withdrawal threshold.(2) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the Commission is to decide by the end of February 2010 on carrying out a linear reduction of national and regional quotas, with a view to adjusting these quotas to a sustainable level after the expiry of the restructuring scheme established by Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community (2).(3) The outermost regions referred to in Article 299(2) of the Treaty do not fall under the scope of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006. Consequently those regions should be excluded from the final cut by which the Commission is entitled to adjust quotas after the expiry of the restructuring scheme.(4) Article 4a of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 provides the possibility for growers of beet and cane intended for quota production to submit a direct application for restructuring aid provided that they cease to deliver sugar to the undertakings to which they were bound by delivery contracts in the previous marketing year. As a result of the acceptance of such applications, Member States are to reduce the quota of the undertakings concerned within the limit of the 10 % referred to in the second indent of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006. It is in this context necessary to amend that Article, so as to allow for the definitive reduction of quotas allocated to the undertakings.(5) A sound management of sugar in public intervention means that sugar should be resold on the market as soon as market trends allow for it in order to avoid a long storage period with risks of deterioration of quality. It is considered appropriate to allow the possibility of resale as industrial sugar.(6) Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides the possibility to withdraw sugar from the market where it is necessary in order to maintain the structural level of the markets at a price level close to the reference price. The application of this measure is currently based on a percentage, common to all Member States and applicable to all production under quota. Recent experience has shown that such a linear application may be counterproductive, since producers are encouraged to produce above their contractual needs as a precaution against a possible compulsory storage of the quantities withdrawn.(7) It is considered that the objective of withdrawal will be better achieved if the withdrawal coefficient can be preventively fixed by mid March of the previous marketing year, since this will enable beet growers to adapt their sowings to the forecast balance sheet. Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 opens the possibility of renouncing quotas against payment of restructuring aid in two steps. The amounts that may be renounced in the second step cannot be taken into account for the fixing of the coefficient for the preventive withdrawal in respect of the marketing year 2008/2009 because the respective figures will only be known after 16 March 2008 which is the deadline for the fixing of the coefficient. It should therefore be clarified that that coefficient needs to be applied to the quotas still available at that moment.(8) In order to take into account updated market data on production, provision should be made for the preventive withdrawal coefficient fixed in March to be adjusted if necessary for the marketing year concerned.(9) Article 19(3) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that withdrawn quantities which are not marketed as industrial sugar or isoglucose are to be treated as the first quantities produced under quota for the following marketing year. This rule could mean that undertakings wishing to participate in the restructuring scheme in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 marketing years are prevented from benefiting fully from that scheme. In order to avoid hampering the restructuring of the sugar sector, it is considered necessary to provide for an exemption, at the request of the undertaking, from the withdrawal in the 2007/2008 marketing year or from a possible withdrawal in the 2008/2009 marketing year for those undertakings which in the marketing year of withdrawal concerned have successfully applied for restructuring aid under Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 and which as a result are going to renounce their total quota in the following marketing year.(10) In order to encourage an increased participation in the restructuring scheme, it is considered appropriate to provide for an increase of the coefficient in relation to the total renunciation of quota per Member State under the restructuring scheme.(11) Import licences under certain preferential arrangements are to be issued only to full-time refiners within the limit of the traditional supply need provided for in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006. This prerogative should not be reduced in relation to the application of a withdrawal, considering that refiners do not have the same possibility as sugar producers to adapt their production to the withdrawal thresholds.(12) Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down rules applicable to interprofessional agreements. In accordance with paragraph 6 of that Article, agreements within the trade may derogate from some of these rules. The possibility of derogating from the obligation for sugar undertakings which have not signed pre-sowing contracts for a quantity equivalent to their quota sugar to pay the minimum price for all beet processed into sugar should be provided for, as was the case until the application of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.(13) Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides for a yearly adjustment of the national and regional quotas set out in Annex III to that Regulation, as a result of the application of different mechanisms through which the quotas allocated to individual undertakings are either increased or reduced. Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 also refers to Articles 14 and 19 of that Regulation, which concern respectively the carry forward of surplus sugar and the withdrawal of sugar from the market. However, the application of those Articles does not result in either an increase or a reduction of quota. The reference in question should therefore be deleted.(14) Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(15) Account should be taken in this Regulation of the fact that the total quota for production of inulin syrup was renounced in the 2006/2007 marketing year under the restructuring scheme established by Regulation (EC) No 320/2006,. Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 is hereby amended as follows:1. in Article 6, paragraphs 5 and 6 shall be replaced by the following:2. Article 10 shall be replaced by the following:3. Article 11 shall be amended as follows:(a) the title shall be replaced by the following:(b) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:(c) the following paragraph shall be added:4. in Article 15(1), point (c) shall be replaced by the following:‘(c) sugar and isoglucose withdrawn from the market in accordance with Articles 19 and 19a and for which the obligations provided for in Article 19(3) are not met.’;5. in point a of Article 18(3), the following indent shall be added:— for industrial use referred to in Article 13.’;6.

whereas such imports are likely to greatly exceed the traditional annual level of  imports and the absorption capacity of the Community market; whereas, therefore, the beef and veal  market would be threatened with serious disturbance endangering, in particular, market prices and  producers' incomes and making public intervention more difficult;Whereas, however, it is necessary to take into account the application of the Agreement on  Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations; whereas the  management meausures provided for should therefore be restricted to products from the thrid  countries to which the Community grants preferential treatment and which have accepted that the  Community take measures to manage the importation of the animals in question;Whereas the total absorption capacity of the Community market in 1996 is estimated at 425  000 head  other than pure bred breedings animals; whereas, in view of imports planned under certain  preferential arrangements for 1996, i.e. 300  500 head under the quota established by the context  of the Uruguay Round concerning young male bovine animals weighing 300 kg or less and intended for  fattening and under the Europe Agreements concluded with the Republic of Poland, the Republic of  Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania and the Republic of Bulgaria and the  agreements on free trade and trade-related measures with the Baltic Republics, 124  500 head should  be admitted for import at the full rate of import duty in 1996;Whereas it is planned to extend the autonomous measures applied in 1995; whereas, pending the entry  into force of the extension of these autonomous measures, management measures should be taken and  only 50  % of the 124  500 head should be opened for the first half of 1996 with, as countries of  origin, the aforementioned countries;Whereas the Commission will closely monitor developments on the beef and veal market so as to be  able to react immediately to any changes in the relevant economic criteria;Whereas, in order to take account to the greatest extent of the traditional structure of the  Community veal market, imports should be restricted to animals weighing 80 kg or less;Whereas experience shows that limiting imports can give rise to speculative import applications;  whereas, in order to guarantee that the planned measures function correctly, most of the quantities  available should be reserved for so-called traditional importers of live bovine animals; whereas,  so as not to introduce rigidity into trade relations in the sector, a second allocation should be  made available for opertaors able to show that they are carrying out a genuine activity involving  trade in a significant number of animals; whereas in consideration of this and in order to ensure  efficient management, a minimum of 100 animals should be required to have been exported or imported  during 1995 by the operators concerned; whereas a batch of 100 animals in principle constitutes a  normal load and whereas experience has shown that the sale or purchase of a single batch is a  minimum requirement for a transaction to be considered real and viable; whereas verification of  those criteria requires that all applications from the same operator be submitted in the same  Member State;Whereas steps must be taken to ensure that importers in the new Member States falling within the  first category can participate fairly in the allocation of the quantities available; whereas for  those importers, therefore, imports carried out between 1 January 1993 and 31 December 1995 from  countries considered third countries depending on the year of importation should be taken into  account as reference quantities giving access to the quantities reserved for traditional  importers;Whereas, so as to avoid speculation, access to the quota should be denied to operators no longer  carrying out an activity in the beef and veal sector on 1 January 1996;Whereas the quota in question should be managed using import licences; whereas to this end rules  should be set on submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and  licences, by way of derogation, if necessary, from certain provisions of Commission Regulation  (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for application of the  system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products   (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2137/95  (2), and of Commission Regulation (EC) No  1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal  sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80  (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2856/95   (4), whereas it should moreover be stipulated that licences are to be issued following a reflection  period and where necessary with a flat-rate percentage reduction applied;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. Imports into the Community, at the full rate provided for in the  Common Customs Tariff of live bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102  90  05, 0102  90  21,  0102  90  29, 0102  90  41 and 0102  90  49, as referred to in Article 1  (1)  (a) of Council  Regulation (EEC) No 805/68  (5), originating in the third countries listed in Annex I, shall be  subject to the management measures laid down in this Regulation. 1.  Import licences for the first half of 1996 may be issued in respect of not more  than 62  250 animals falling within CN code 0102  90  05.2.  The quantity referred to in paragraph 1 shall be split into two parts, as follows:(a)  the first part equal to 70  %, i.e. 43  575 head, shall be allocated among:-  importers from the Community as constituted on 31 December 1994 who can furnish proof of having  imported animals falling within CN code 0102  90  05 during 1993, 1994 or 1995 and who are entered  in a VAT register of a Member State, and -  importers from the new Member States who can furnish proof of having imported animals falling  within the abovementioned CN code during 1993, 1994 and 1995 from countries which, depending on the  year of import, are for them third countries and who are entered in a VAT register of a Member  State;(b)  the second part, equal to 30  %, i.e. 18  675 head, shall be allocated among importers who can  furnish proof of having imported and/or exported during 1995 at least 100 live bovine animals  falling with CN code 0102  90 apart from those under (a), and who are entered in a VAT register of  a Member State.3.  The 43  575 head shall be allocated among the eligible importers in proportion to their imports  of animals within the meaning of Article 2  (2)  (a) during 1993, 1994 and 1995 proven in  accordance with paragraph 5.4.

Where the same applicant lodges more than one  application, all applications from that person shall be inadmissible. Applications may not concern  a quantity larger than the available quantity.After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by 26  January 1996 at the latest, the list of applications and the quantities requested.4.  All notification, including notifications of nil applications, shall be made by telex or fax,  drawn up on the basis of the models in Annexes II and III in the case where applications have been  lodged. 1.  The Commission shall decide to what extent applications may be accepted.2.

40014,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 702/2011 of 20 July 2011 approving the active substance prohexadione, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 of 27 June 2007 on laying down the procedure of the renewal of the inclusion of a first group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. Prohexadione (formerly prohexadione-calcium) is listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 737/2007.(2) The approval of prohexadione, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (4), expires on 31 December 2011. A notification was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 for the renewal of the inclusion of prohexadione in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within the time period provided for in that Article.(3) That notification was found to be admissible by Commission Decision 2008/656/EC of 28 July 2008 on the admissibility of the notifications concerning the renewal of the inclusion in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances azimsulfuron, azoxystrobin, fluroxypyr, imazalil, kresoxim-methyl, prohexadione and spiroxamine, and establishing the list of the notifiers concerned (5).(4) Within the time period provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007, the notifier submitted the data required in accordance with that Article together with an explanation as regards the relevance of each new study submitted.(5) The rapporteur Member State prepared an assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 5 June 2009. In addition to the assessment of the active substance, that report includes a list of the studies the rapporteur Member State relied on for its assessment.(6) The Authority communicated the assessment report to the notifier and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the assessment report available to the public.(7) At the request of the Commission, the assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the Authority. The Authority presented its conclusion on the peer review of the risk assessment of prohexadione (6) to the Commission on 12 March 2010. The assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for prohexadione.(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing prohexadione may be expected to continue to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve prohexadione.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(10) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing prohexadione. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(11) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(12) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.(13) In the interest of clarity, Commission Directive 2010/56/EU of 20 August 2010 amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC to renew the inclusion of prohexadione as active substance (8) should be repealed.(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance prohexadione, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing prohexadione as an active substance by 30 June 2012.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Article 13(1) to (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing prohexadione as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product still satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing prohexadione as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing prohexadione as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.

Geographical area: Situated in the western part of the province of Granada, in the lower alluvial plain of the Genil river, between the Subbetic chain to the north and the Penibetic chain to the south. Comprises the municipalities of Huétor-Tájar, Illora, Loja, Moraleda de Zafayona, Salar and Villanueva de Mesías. Covers a total of 78000 ha.4.4. Proof of origin: The seeds and seedlings are produced and selected by local farmers, in seedbeds registered with, and under the control of, the regulatory body and are kept in nurseries situated in the production area. The propagating material is produced under the control of the regulatory body. The asparagus fields are located in the production area and entered in a special register. Cultivation techniques, harvesting and transport to the packing stations are all under the control of the regulatory body, the latter also being responsible for supervising the packaging of fresh asparagus and the processing of processed asparagus.4.5. Method of production: After being selected by registered stations, shoots of native asparagus plants are packed in the fresh state in homogeneous bundles of 0,5, 1 or 2 kg and placed in suitable crates for transportation.When asparagus is intended for sale as a preserved product the shoots undergo an industrial process whereby: the stems are washed, cut according to the size of the container (about half-way up), cooked, cleaned, graded, and placed in containers; liquid is added, the containers are preheated and sealed, sterilised, refrigerated, etc. The entire process is under the control of the regulatory body.4.6. Link: Asparagus was first cultivated by the ancient Romans. Green wild asparagus is mentioned as a prized ingredient in recipes compiled by the Andalusian historian Ibu Bassal in various books on Al-Andalus cooking, and survived in that region until the end of the Narzarí dynasty late in the XIVth century.Asparagus (in essence wild asparagus) continued to be grown - for own consumption - on a small family farms in the plain of the Genil river, this region being a pioneer in the cultivation of the crop, stepping up production form 1930 onwards.A flat region with alluvial deposits and terracing where secondary and tertiary material come to the surface. Asparagus is grown at an altitude of 450 to 650 metres. The soil consists of heavy or medium or, in some cases, light loam, with a pH between 7,8 and 8,4 and a carbonate content, expressed in calcium carbonate, exceeding 40 %, a high potassium and magnesium content due to the dolomitic nature of the carbonates present, and low levels of assimilable phosphorus and organic matter. The high magnesium and low phosphorus content is conductive to strong pigmentation of the shoot, the stem being a deeper green and the head more purple. The high potassium content inhibits sprouting of the head. Continental Mediterranean climate with an average temperature of 16,3.oC, average annual rainfall of the order of 350 mm and light winds. The cultivation techniques, work carried out, and pest and disease control provide ideal conditions for growing asparagus with characteristics linked to its environment.4.7.

30613,"Regulation (EC) No 1161/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2005 on the compilation of quarterly non-financial accounts by institutional sector. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),Whereas:(1) The Action Plan on Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) Statistical Requirements endorsed by the Ecofin Council in September 2000 specifies that a limited set of quarterly sector accounts is urgently needed, and that these should be available within 90 days of the end of the quarter concerned.(2) The Joint Report of the Ecofin Council and the Commission to the European Council on Eurozone statistics and indicators, as adopted by the Ecofin Council on 18 February 2003, emphasises that high priority actions in several fields, including quarterly national accounts by institutional sector, should be fully implemented by 2005.(3) The analysis of cyclical movements in the European Union economy and the conduct of monetary policy within the EMU require macroeconomic statistics on the economic behaviour and the interrelationship of individual institutional sectors which are impossible to identify in data compiled at the level of the economy as a whole. There is, therefore, a need to produce quarterly accounts by institutional sector, for the European Union as a whole and for the euro area.(4) Production of these accounts is part of the overall aim to compile a system of annual and quarterly accounts for the European Union and for the euro area. The system includes the main macroeconomic aggregates and the financial and non-financial accounts by institutional sector. The aim is to achieve consistency across all these accounts and, with regard to the rest of the world accounts, between the balance of payments and the national accounts data.(5) The compilation of European accounts by institutional sector, in accordance with the principles of the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community as set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 (3), requires the transmission by Member States of quarterly national accounts by institutional sector. However, the European accounts must reflect the economy of the European area as a whole and may differ from the simple aggregation of Member States’ accounts. In particular, the objective is to take account of the transactions of the institutions and bodies of the European Union in the accounts of the area concerned (the European Union or the euro-zone, whichever is applicable).(6) The production of specific Community statistics is governed by the rules set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics (4).(7) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the compilation of quarterly non-financial accounts by institutional sector for the European Union and the euro area, cannot be achieved satisfactorily by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective. In particular, where Member States make a negligible contribution to the European totals, they should not be required to report the full detail of data.(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).(9) The Statistical Programme Committee set up by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (6) and the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics set up by Council Decision 91/115/EEC (7) have been consulted,. PurposeThis Regulation provides a common framework for the contributions of the Member States to the compilation of quarterly European non-financial accounts by institutional sector.

20344,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 of 24 July 2000 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences to take account of the special situation of Laos regarding certain exports of textiles to the Community. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 955/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 249 thereof,Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/1999(4), and in particular Article 76 thereof,Whereas:(1) By Council Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 of 21 December 1998 applying a multiannual scheme of generalised tariff preferences for the period 1 July 1999 to 31 December 2001(5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1310/2000(6), the Community gave such preferences to Laos.(2) Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establish the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of generalised tariff preferences. Article 76 of that Regulation provides, however, for derogations to those provisions in favour of least-developed GSP-beneficiary countries which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community.(3) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1537/1999(7), Laos obtained such a derogation for certain textiles, for the period from 15 July 1999 to 14 July 2000.(4) The request submitted by Laos satisfies the requirements of Article 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. In particular the introduction of quantitative conditions (on an annual basis) reflecting the Community market's capacity to absorb the Lao products, Laos's export-capacity and actual recorded trade flows, is such as to prevent injury to the corresponding branches of Community industry. The derogation should be adapted, however, with reference to the economic needs.(5) In order to encourage regional cooperation among beneficiary countries, it is desirable to provide that the raw materials to be used in Laos in the context of this derogation should originate in countries belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) (except Myanmar), to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement.(6) The open and effective administration of these measures should be ensured by applying the relevant provisions, for the management of tariff quotas, laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1427/97(8).(7) Any demand to extend application of the derogation beyond the quantities provided for must be considered in consultation with the Lao authorities.(8) To be fully effective, the derogation should be granted for a reasonable length of time, that is, until 31 December 2001 when Regulation (EC) No 2820/98 expires.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. 1. By way of derogation from Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, products listed in the Annex to this Regulation which are manufactured in Laos from woven fabric (woven items) or yarn (knitted items) imported into that country and originating in a country belonging to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) (except Myanmar), to the South Asian Assocation for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) or to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement shall be regarded as originating in Laos in accordance with the arrangements set out below.2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, products shall be considered as originating in ASEAN or SAARC when they are obtained in these countries according to the rules of origin provided for in Articles 67 to 97 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, or as originating in the beneficiary countries of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement when they are obtained in those countries according to the rules of origin provided in Protocol No 1 to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(9).3. The competent authorities of Laos shall undertake to take all of the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the provisions of paragraph 2. The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products transported directly from Laos and imported into the Community during the period from 15 July 2000 to 31 December 2001, up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product. The quantities referred to in Article 2 shall be managed by the Commission, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Articles 308a to 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. When drawings under Article 3 account for 80 % of the quantities shown in the Annex, the Commission, in consultation with the Lao authorities, shall consider whether it is necessary to extend application of the derogation beyond those quantities. The following shall be entered in box 4 of certificates of origin Form A issued by the competent authorities of Laos pursuant to this Regulation:""Derogation - Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000"". In case of doubt, the Member States may demand a copy of the document certifying the origin of the materials used in Laos under this derogation. Such a demand may be made at the time of entry into free circulation of the goods benefiting from this Regulation, or within the framework of the administrative cooperation for which provision is made in Article 94 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

It is therefore necessary to update the formula of one of the methods, to replace the three other methods, to add a new method, and to simplify the grading methods through the use of only one measurement point instead of the present two measurement points.(3) Hungary has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formula used in the ‘Fat-O-Meater FOM S70 and Fat-O-Meater FOM S71’, method of grading pig carcasses as well as to authorise four new methods for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which those methods are based, the results of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcases and the reporting of prices thereof (3).(4) Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled. Those grading methods should therefore be authorised in Hungary.(5) Decision 2005/382/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) Modifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Decision.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,. Decision 2005/382/EC is amended as follows:(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:(a) the “Fat-O-Meater FOM S70” and “Fat-O-Meater FOM S71” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part I of the Annex;(b) the “Ultra FOM 300” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part II of the Annex;(c) the “OptiScan-TP” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part III of the Annex;(d) the “IM-03” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part IV of the Annex;(e) the “OptiGrade-MCP” apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part V of the Annex.(2) the Annex is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

25539,"Council Regulation (EC) No 150/2003 of 21 January 2003 suspending import duties on certain weapons and military equipment. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and, in particular Article 26 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Whereas:(1) The Community is based upon a customs union, which requires the consistent application of the Common Customs Tariff on imports of products from third countries by all Member States unless specific Community measures provide otherwise.(2) It is in the interests of the Community as a whole that Member States are able to procure for their military forces the most technologically advanced and suitable weapons and military equipment. In view of the rapid technological developments in this industrial sector worldwide it is normal practice of the Member States authorities in charge of national defence to procure weapons and military materials from producers or other suppliers located in third countries. Given the security interest of the Member States it is compatible with the interests of the Community that certain of these weapons and equipment may be imported free of import duties.(3) In order to ensure consistent application of such duty suspension it is appropriate to establish a common list of weapons and military equipment eligible for the duty suspension. It is also appropriate in view of the specific nature of the products concerned that parts, components or subassemblies for incorporation in or fitting to goods included in the list or for the repair, refurbishment or maintenance of such goods as well as goods for use in training or testing of goods included in this list could be imported free of customs duties. Imports of military equipment, which are not covered by this Regulation, are subject to the appropriate duties in the Common Customs Tariff.(4) Given the different organisational structures of the competent authorities in the Member States it is necessary solely for customs-related purposes to define end uses for the imported materials in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(2) and its implementing regulations (herein after called the ""Customs Code""). In order to limit the administrative burden for the authorities concerned it is appropriate to set a time limit for the end use customs supervisions.(5) In order to take account of the protection of the military confidentiality of the Member States it is necessary to lay down specific administrative procedures for the granting of the benefit of the suspension of duties. A declaration by the competent authority of the Member State for whose forces the weapons or military equipment are destined, which could also be used as customs declaration as required by the Customs Code, would constitute an appropriate guarantee that these conditions are fulfilled. The declaration should be given in the form of a certificate. It is appropriate to specify the form, which such certificates must take and to allow also the use of means of data processing techniques for the declaration.(6) It is necessary to lay down rules for the Member States in order to provide information on the quantity, the value and the number of certificates issued and the procedures for the implementation of this Regulation,. This Regulation lays down the conditions for the autonomous suspension of import duties on certain weapons and military equipment imported by or on behalf of the authorities in charge of the military defence of the Member States from third countries. 1. The duties of the Common Customs Tariff applicable to imports of the goods listed in Annex 1 shall be totally suspended when they are used by, or on behalf of the military forces of a Member State, individually or in cooperation with other States, for defending the territorial integrity of the Member State or in participating in international peace keeping or support operations or for other military purposes like the protection of nationals of the European Union from social or military unrest.2. Such duties shall also be totally suspended for:(a) parts, components or subassemblies imported for incorporation in or fitting to goods included in the list in Annex I and II or parts, components or subassemblies thereof, or for the repair, refurbishment or maintenance of such goods;(b) goods imported for training or testing of goods included in the list at Annex I and II.3. The imported goods as defined in Annex I and in paragraph 2 of this Article shall be subject to end use conditions laid down in Articles 21 and 82 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 and its implementing legislation. Customs supervision of the end use shall end three years after the date of release for free circulation.4. The use of the goods listed in Annex I for training purposes or the temporary use of these goods in the customs territory of the Community by the military forces or other forces for civil purposes due to unforeseen or natural disasters shall not constitute a violation of the end use determined in paragraph 1. 1. The request for entry for free circulation of goods for which the benefit of a duty suspension under the provisions of Article 2 is claimed shall be accompanied by a certificate issued by the competent authority of the Member State for whose military forces the goods are destined. The certificate as set out in Annex III shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the importing Member State together with the goods to which it refers. It may replace the customs declaration required by Articles 59 to 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, for reasons of military confidentiality, the certificate and the imported goods may be submitted to other authorities designated by the importing Member State for this purpose. In such cases the competent authority issuing the certificate shall send before 31 January and 31 July of each year a summary report to the customs authorities of its Member State on such imports. The report shall cover a period of 6 months immediately preceding the month on which the report has to be submitted. It shall contain the number and issuing date of the certificates, the date of importation and the total value and gross weight of the products imported with the certificates.3. For the issuing and the presentation of the certificate to the customs authorities or to other authorities in charge of customs clearance data processing technique may be used in accordance with Article 292(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(3).4. This Article applies mutatis mutandis to imported goods listed in Annex II. Except in cases of Article 2(4) any diversion of goods listed in Annex 1 and Article 2(2) from the use specified in Article 2(1) within the period of customs supervision shall be notified by the competent authority issuing the certificate or using the goods to the customs authorities of its Member State in accordance with Article 21 and 87 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92. 1. Each Member State shall communicate to the Commission the names of the authorities, which are competent to issue the certificate referred to in Article 3(1) together with a specimen of the stamp used by the said authorities. Each Member State shall also forward to the Commission the name of the authority, which can release the imported goods in cases referred to in Article 3(2). The Commission shall forward this information to the customs authorities of the other Member States.2. Where the goods are entered for free circulation in a Member State other than that in which the certificate was issued, a copy of the certificate shall be forwarded by the customs authorities of the importing Member State to the customs administration of the Member State whose competent authority issued the certificate.Where goods have been released by other authorities in accordance with Article 3(2) in a Member State other than that in which the certificate was issued, a copy of the certificate shall be forwarded directly by these authorities to the authority issuing the certificate.3. The authority of each Member State authorised to issue the certificate referred to in Article 3(1) shall keep a copy of the certificates issued and the documentary evidence necessary to demonstrate the correct application of the suspension for a period of three years following the date of expiry of the customs supervision of the goods. The Commission shall inform Member States of any request lodged by a Member State in view of presenting a proposal to amend the lists in Annexes I and II. 1. Each Member State shall inform the Commission about the administrative implementation of this Regulation within six months after its entry into force.2. They shall also transmit to the Commission no later than three months after the end of each calendar year information on the total number of certificates issued together with the total value and gross weight of goods imported under the provisions of this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall apply as from 1 January 2003.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

4411,"Council Directive 86/217/EEC of 26 May 1986 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to tyre pressure gauges for motor vehicles. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas in several Member States the construction and the methods of control of pressure gauges intended to measure the inflation pressure of motor vehicle tyres are subject to mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another and consequently hinder trade in such instruments; whereas it is therefore necessary to approximate those provisions;Whereas Council Directive 71/316/EEC of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to commom provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control (4), as last amended by Directive 83/575/EEC (5), defined the EEC pattern approval and initial verification procedures; whereas, in accordance with that Directive, it is necessary to lay down the technical specifications in respect of manufacture and operation which tyre pressure gauges for motor vehicles must satisfy in order that they may be imported, marketed and used freely after they have undergone the controls and had affixed the marks and signs provided for,. This Directive shall apply to pressure gauges intended to measure the inflation pressure of motor-vehicle tyres, as defined in section 1 of the Annex. The tyre-inflation equipment eligible for EEC marks and signs is described in the Annex. It shall be subject to EEC pattern approval and EEC initial verification under the conditions laid down in the Annex. No Member State may refuse, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market and entry into service of tyre-inflation equipment on grounds relating to its metrological qualities if it bears the EEC pattern approval sign and the EEC initial verification mark. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive 18 months after notification of the Directive (6). This Directive is addressed to the Member States.. Done at Brussels, 26 May 1986.For the CouncilThe PresidentG. BRAKS(1)  OJ No C 356, 31. 12. 1980, p. 17.(2)  OJ No C 287, 9. 11. 1981, p. 135.(3)  OJ No C 189, 30. 7. 1981, p. 10.(4)  OJ No L 202, 6. 9. 1971, p. 1.(5)  OJ No L 332, 28. 11. 1983, p. 43.(6)  This Directive was notified to the Member States on 30 May 1986.ANNEX1.   ScopeFor the purposes of this Annex, ‘tyre pressure gauges’ are instruments not fitted with pre-setting devices used in fixed or mobile installations for inflating motor-vehicle tyres in which a mechanical measuring system transmits the elastic deformation of a sensing element to an indicating device.They indicate the pressure difference (Pe) between the air in the tyre and the atmosphere.They also include all those parts between the tyre and the sensing element.2.   Metrological requirements2.1.   Maximum permissible errorsThe maximum permissible positive or negative errors given in the table hereunder are defined as absolute values according to the measured pressure:Measured pressure Maximum permissible errorsnot exceeding 4 bar 0,08 barabove 4 bar but not exceeding 10 bar 0,16 barabove 10 bar 0,25 barThe maximum permissible errors must not be exceeded in the range 15 to 25 o C. This range is hereinafter termed the ‘temperature reference range’.2.2.   Variation due to temperatureThe variation in pressure-gauge readings at temperatures lying outside the reference range but between —10 oC and + 40 oC is given in the table hereunder:Measured pressure Maximum permissible variationnot exceeding 4 bar 0,1 % of 4 bar per degree Celsiusabove 4 bar but not exceeding 10 bar 0,05 % of 10 bar per degree Celsiusabove 10 bar 0,05 % of the upper scale limit per degree Celsius2.3.   Hysteresis errorHysteresis error in pressure gauges must not exceed the absolute value of the maximum permissible error, at any temperature within the temperature reference range. This temperature must remain constant throughout the test.For a given pressure, the value measured for increasing pressure must not exceed the value measured for decreasing pressures.2.4.   Return of the instrument's index to a predetermined markAt atmospheric pressure, the pressure gauge index must stop opposite the zero mark or opposite a predetermined mark clearly differentiated from the scale intervals, within the limits of the maximum permissible error. A pressure gauge may possess a stop at a distance corresponding to at least twice the value of the maximum permissible error below zero or below the predetermined mark.3.   Technical requirements3.1.   ConstructionPressure gauges must be robustly and carefully constructed to ensure that they retain their metrological characteristics.3.2.   Indicating device3.2.1. Indicating devices are graduated in bar, the value of the scale intervals being fixed at 0,1 bar.3.2.2. In the measurement range, the indicating device must make it possible to read off, directly and accurately, the value of the pressure measured. To this end, the thickness of the part of the index which covers the scale marks must not be greater than the thickness of the scale marks themselves. The index must be capable of covering approximately half the length of the shortest scale marks. The maximum distance between the index and the plane of the scale marks must not be greater than the length of the scale division and must in no case exceed 2 mm or 0,02 L + 1 mm in the case of circular-dial indicating devices (L being the distance between the axis of rotation of the pointer and its extremity).3.2.3. The scale intervals must be equal over the entire scale. The scale spacings, which must not be less than 1,25 mm, must be either virtually equal or show only slight variations. Variation of scale spacing is permitted if the difference between two consecutive scale spacings does not exceed 20 % of the largest value and if the difference between the smallest and largest scale spacings does not exceed 50 % of the largest value.4.   Inscriptions and marks4.1.   Inscriptions4.1.1.   Compulsory inscriptionsPressure gauges must bear the following inscriptions:(a) on the dial:— the symbol for the quantity measured, Pe,— the symbol for the unit of measurement, bar,— where necessary, a sign indicating the working position of the instrument;(b) on the dial, data plate or on the instrument itself:— manufacturer's identification particulars,— identification particulars of the instrument,— the EEC pattern approval mark.4.1.2.   Optional inscriptionsPressure gauges may also carry additional inscriptions authorized by the competent national authority, provided that they do not impede reading of the instrument indication.4.2.   Verification and sealing marksA suitable place must be provided for affixing the EEC initial verification marks.The pressure gauges must be capable of being sealed in such a way as to render it impossible to alter the characteristics of the instrument.5.   EEC pattern approvalEEC pattern approval of pressure gauges must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Directive 71/361/EEC.At least two pressure gauges must be submitted for examination when application is made for pattern approval. The competent national authority may ask for additional pressure gauges to be supplied, depending on the progress of the tests.5.1.   Verification of compliance with technical and metrological requirementsPressure gauges submitted for EEC pattern approval shall undergo an examination to ensure that they comply with the technical requirements set out in sections 2, 3 and 4.The examination comprises the following tests, which are performed by means of reference pressure gauges whose errors must not exceed one-quarter (1/4) of the maximum permissible errors for the pressure gauges tested.5.1.1.   Determination of instrument errorPressure-gauge readings are checked at not fewer than five points (including a point near the upper and lower limits of the measuring range) distributed evenly over the scale.5.1.2.   Determination of hysteresis errorThis test is to be performed only on instuments which, in normal use, are designed to measure decreasing pressures.The test consists in taking readings at not fewer than five points on the pressure gauge (including a point near the upper and lower limits of the measuring range) distributed evenly over the scale, at increasing and decreasing pressure values.In the case of decreasing values, the readings must be taken after the pressure gauge has been kept at a pressure equal to the upper limit of the measuring range for 20 minutes.5.1.3.   Examination of the stability of the properties of pressure gaugesThe tests consist in subjecting pressure gauges to:(a) a pressure exceeding the upper limit of the measuring range by 25 % for 15 minutes;(b) 1 000 pulses produced by a pressure varying from 0 to 90-95 % of the upper limit of the measuring range;(c) 10 000 cycles of a pressure varying slowly from approximately 20 % to approximately 75 % of the upper limit of the measuring range at a frequency not exceeding 60 cycles per minute;(d) an ambient temperature of — 20 oC for six hours and a temperature of + 50 oC for six hours.On completion of tests (a), (b) and (c) and after being left to stand for one hour, the pressure gauges must satisfy the requirements set out in sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4.On completion of the temperature test referred to in (d), the pressure gauges must be left to stand at a temperature in the temperature reference range for six hours. After this period, the pressure gauges must satisfy the requirements set out in sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4.5.1.4.   Variation due to temperatureThe test consists in determining the change in reading for a given pressure at temperatures of — 10 oC and + 40 oC compared with the reading in the temperature reference range.6.   EEC initial verificationEEC initial verification of pressure gauges is carried out in accordance with Directive 71/316/EEC.6.1.   Examination of conformityThis examination consists in checking the conformity of the pressure gauge with the approved pattern.6.2.   Verification testsThese tests are performed by means of reference pressure gauges whose errors must not exceed one-quarter (1/4) of the maximum permissible errors for the pressure gauges submitted for verification.6.2.1.   Determination of errorsPressure gauge readings are checked at not fewer than three points distributed evenly over the measuring range.6.2.2.   Determination of hysteresis errorHysteresis error must be checked only in the case of pressure gauges which can measure increasing and decreasing pressure pursuant to sector 2.3.The relevant test consists in taking readings at no fewer than three points on the pressure gauge, distributed evenly over the measuring range, for increasing and decreasing pressure values. The test must be performed under normal conditions of use.

41296,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 548/2012 of 25 June 2012 initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1458/2007 on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, and making such imports subject to registration. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 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 in accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,Whereas:A.   REQUEST(1) The European Commission (‧the Commission‧) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in the People's Republic of China and to make imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, subject to registration.(2) The request was lodged on 17 April 2012 by Société BIC, a Union producer of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters.B.   PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters currently falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 originating in the People’s Republic of China (‧the product concerned‧).(4) The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, currently falling within the same CN code as the product concerned (‧the product under investigation‧).C.   EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1458/2007 (2).(6) A circumvention investigation concerning imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters and of certain refillable pocket flint lighters was also carried out in 1998-1999 which led to the extension of the duty to imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain disposable refillable pocket flint lighters originating in the People's Republic of China or consigned from or originating in Taiwan and to imports of non-refillable lighters consigned from or originating in Taiwan (3).D.   GROUNDS(7) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of assembly operations in Vietnam.(8) The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows.(9) The request shows a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Vietnam to the Union has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, without sufficient due cause or justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.(10) This change appears to stem from assembly operations in Vietnam of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters.(11) Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.(12) 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 the product concerned.(13) Should circumvention practices via Vietnam covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than assembly operations, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.E.   PROCEDURE(14) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a)   Questionnaires(15) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Vietnam, to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China and Vietnam. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.(16) 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, and 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.(17) The authorities of the People's Republic of China and Vietnam will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.(b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings(18) 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(19) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.(20) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers in Vietnam of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters, that can show that they are not related (4) to any producer subject to the measures (5) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time-limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F.   REGISTRATION(21) 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 from the date on which registration of such imports consigned from Vietnam was imposed.G.   TIME-LIMITS(22) 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 Vietnam may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(23) 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(24) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time-limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(25) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.(26) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.I.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION(27) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.J.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(28) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (6).K.   HEARING OFFICER(29) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time-limits and requests by third parties to be heard.

An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters, consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, currently falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 (TARIC code 9613100012), are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1458/2007. The Customs authorities shall, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union 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 Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted. 1.   Questionnaires must be requested from the Commission within 15 days from 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 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.3.   Producers in Vietnam requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures must submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time-limit.4.   Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time-limit.5.   Interested parties are required to make all submissions and requests in electronic format (non-confidential submissions via e-mail, confidential ones on CD-R/DVD), and must indicate their name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers.

2784,"2001/58/ECSC: Commission Decision of 20 September 2000 authorising France to grant aid to the coal industry for 2000 (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2000) 2923). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Commission Decision 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry(1), in particular Article 2(1) and Article 9 thereof,Having regard to Commission Decision 95/465/ECSC of 19 July 1995 approving the French coal industry's plan for the reduction of activity(2),Whereas:I(1) By letter of 26 October 1999, France notified the Commission, in accordance with Article 9(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, of the financial aid it proposes to grant to the coal industry for 2000. By letter of 26 May 2000, France also notified the Commission of an adjustment to this financial aid.(2) In accordance with Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission is required to take a decision for 2000 on the following financial aid:- aid for the reduction of activity amounting to FRF 2381 million to cover operating losses for 2000,- aid for the reduction of activity amounting to FRF 220 million. This aid is intended to cover the interest due for 2000 on the part of the loan issue floated by Charbonnages de France in 1997, 1998 and 1999 to cover the balance of the operating losses for those years which are not covered by direct subsidies and capital injections,- aid to cover exceptional losses for 2000 amounting to FRF 4071 million.(3) The financial measures envisaged by France for its coal industry are covered by Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and must therefore be approved by the Commission in accordance with Article 9, which refers in particular to the general objectives and criteria laid down in Article 2 and the specific criteria set out in Articles 4 and 5 of the Decision. In its assessment, the Commission checks, in accordance with Article 9(6) of the Decision, whether the measures are in conformity with the plans for the reduction of activity which have been approved by the Commission.II(4) The sum of FRF 2381 million which France is proposing to grant to the coal industry under Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC is intended to cover the difference between the production cost and the selling price of coal freely agreed between the contracting parties in the light of the prevailing conditions on the world market for coal of similar quality from third countries. This aid forms part of the plan for the reduction of activity by the company, which plans to cease all mining activities in 2005. In view of the exceptional social and regional consequences of the reduction of activity by the company, the French Government, in agreement with the two sides of industry, has decided to stagger the closures up to 2005.(5) Although coal production has to be reduced from 3,673 million tce(3) in 1999 to 2,954 million tce in 2000, a reduction of about 20 % in one year, the Commission notes that the amount of aid has remained stable. The rise in the production costs from FRF 975 per tce in 1999 to an estimated FRF 1103 per tce in 2000 - has neutralised the effect of reducing the volume of production to the overall amount of aid. This trend in the cost of mining coal merely serves to confirm France's decision to cease all mining by 2005.(6) In accordance with Article 3(1) of the above Decision, the Commission has checked that, for the coal mining year 2000, the aid notified per tonne does not exceed for each production unit the difference between production costs and foreseeable revenue.(7) In accordance with Article 2(1), second indent, the aid helps to solve the social and regional problems created by total or partial reductions in the activity of production units. Furthermore, the Commission has checked that the aid meets the requirement of Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(8) Except for the sum of FRF 45 million, on the basis of the information provided by France, the aid proposed for 2000 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and the proper functioning of the common market. The Commission will decide on the balance of FRF 45 million at a later date, in particular in the light of France's replies to the questions in the Commission's letter of formal notice of 9 February 1999, in the context of complaint No 97/4717 of 26 August 1997 against Charbonnages de France, which has been lodged by five French companies, including Thion et Cie.(9) This decision is also without prejudice to the decision which the Commission will be required to take following consideration of the complaints against Charbonnages de France, in particular Cokes de Drocourt SA, in the context of the coke market.III(10) The sum of FRF 220 million which France is planning to grant to the coal industry under Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC is intended to cover the interest due for 2000 on the part of the loan issue floated by Charbonnages de France in 1997, 1998 and 1999 to cover the balance of the operating losses for those years which are not covered by direct subsidies and capital injections.(11) In its Decision authorising France to grant aid to the coal industry for 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Commission considered that the part of the loans covering the balance of the operating losses for those years was aid within the meaning of Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. Since the interest due for 2000 is accessory to the part of the loans covering the balance of the operating losses for 1997, 1998 and 1999, it must therefore be regarded as aid within the meaning of Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC in the same way as the principal sum.(12) This aid forms part of the plan for the reduction of activity by the company, which plans to cease all mining activities in 2005. The Commission has checked that the aid notified does not exceed the costs for 2000 for the part of the loans covering the balance of the operating losses for 1997, 1998 and 1999. The Commission therefore believes that the aid notified fulfils the requirements laid down in Article 3(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(13) In accordance with Article 2(1), second indent, the aid helps to solve the social and regional problems created by total or partial reductions in the activity of production units. By letter of 3 July 2000, the French authorities have also provided the Commission with proof that the interest due for 2000 is entered in the State budget for 1999. The Commission therefore considers that the sum of aid fulfils the requirement of Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(14) In the light of the above and on the basis of the information provided by France, the aid proposed for the year 2000 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.IV(15) The aid amounting to FRF 4071 million which France proposes to grant to its coal industry is intended to cover exceptional costs due to modernisation, rationalisation and the restructuring of the coal industry which are not related to current production (inherited liabilities).(16) In accordance with Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, this aid covers costs which are expressly referred to in the Annex to the Decision, namely:- FRF 870 million towards the cost of paying social-welfare benefits resulting from the pensioning-off of workers before they reach statutory retirement age,- FRF 70 million as other exceptional expenditure on workers losing their jobs as a result of restructuring and rationalisation,- FRF 83 million towards residual costs resulting from administrative, legal or tax provisions,- FRF 331 million towards additional work resulting from restructuring,- FRF 10 million towards mining damage attributable to pits previously in service,- FRF 45 million towards exceptional intrinsic depreciation in 1997, 1998 and 1999 resulting from the restructuring of the industry,- FRF 2662 million towards the increase in the contributions, outside the statutory system, to cover social security costs as a result of the drop, following restructuring, in the number of contributors.(17) In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, this aid may be regarded as compatible with the common market if it does not exceed the costs arising from or having arisen from the modernisation, rationalisation or restructuring of the coal industry which are not related to current production. Having checked the data communicated, the Commission concludes that this requirement has been fulfilled. In the light of the above and on the basis of the information provided by France, the aid planned for 2000 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.V(18) In accordance with the second indent of Article 3(1) and Article 9(2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission has to check that the aid authorised for current production is only for the purposes stipulated in Article 4 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amounts of such payments and the way they are broken down for 2000,. France is authorised to apply the following measures in favour of its coal industry for 2000:- aid for the reduction of activity, amounting to FRF 2336 million, intended to cover operating losses for 2000. The Commission will take a decision on a balance of FRF 45 million at a later date;- aid for the reduction of activity, amounting to FRF 220 million, intended to cover the interest due for 2000 on the part of the loan issue floated by Charbonnages de France in 1997, 1998, and 1999 to cover the balance of the operating losses for those years which are not covered by direct subsidies and capital injections.- aid to cover exceptional costs for 2000 amounting to FRF 4071 million. France shall communicate the amounts of aid actually paid under this Decision for 2000 to cover the operating losses for that year no later than 30 September 2001.

The coordinates for certain fisheries restrictive areas were inaccurately indicated in that Regulation and should be corrected.(5) Annex IA to Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 lays down the provisional catch limits for cod in International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) zones VIIb-k, VIII, IX and X and in EC waters of CECAF area 34.1.1. Following a new scientific assessment of the state of that stock by the ICES, it is important to set the final total allowable catch for that stock.(6) Certain quotas and footnotes were inaccurately indicated in that Regulation for certain species and should be corrected.(7) Pursuant to consultations between the Community and Iceland on 10 April 2008, an arrangement was reached on capelin quotas for Icelandic vessels to be fished from the Community quota allocated under its Agreement with the Government of Denmark and the local Government of Greenland before 30 April 2008, and on redfish quotas for Community vessels fishing for redfish in the Icelandic Exclusive Economic Zone to be fished between July and December. That arrangement should be implemented in Community law.(8) The Agreement established between the European Community, the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and the Russian Federation in Copenhagen on 13 and 14 February 2008 regarding the management of redfish in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters in the NEAFC Convention Area in 2008 should be implemented in Community law. As the Agreement is applicable for the whole of 2008, the measures adopted for its implementation should apply retroactively from 1 January 2008.(9) The conclusions of the EU-Greenland Joint Committee meeting in Nuuk on 27 November 2007 and the technical meeting in Copenhagen on 12 February 2008, as regards the EC share of redfish in Greenland waters of ICES zones V and XIV should be implemented in Community law. As the arrangement concluded with Greenland is connected to the NEAFC Agreement on management of redfish in the Irminger Sea, the measures adopted for the implementation of the conclusions of the EU-Greenland Joint Committee meeting should also apply retroactively from 1 January 2008.(10) In accordance with the Agreed Record of conclusions of fisheries consultations between the European Community and Norway of 26 November 2007, the Community is to undertake trials in 2008 on technical measures for towed gears to reduce the proportion, in number, of cod that is discarded to no more than 10 %. That arrangement should be implemented in Community law.(11) In order to ensure certainty for the fishermen concerned and to allow them to plan their activities for this fishing season as soon as possible, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in Title I, Article 3, of the Protocol on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on the European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities.(12) Regulations (EC) No 2015/2006 and (EC) No 40/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,.

Though information technology and computer networks facilitate international trade, they also require investments in automatic data transmission systems which may cause problems for economic operators in the short term. It is therefore appropriate to take such situations into account by providing that during a transitional period economic operators will be able, but will not be obliged, to lodge electronic entry and exit summary declarations in order to allow them to adjust their systems to the new legal requirements.(3) The introduction of a transitional period for electronic exit summary declarations justifies maintaining, for the same period, the facilitation which can be granted under Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to approved exporters benefiting from the local clearance procedure, provided that the customs office of exit is located in the same Member States as the customs office of export and receives the particulars necessary for the exit of the goods.(4) In cases where economic operators do not lodge electronic entry or exit summary declarations or where the local clearance procedure is used under Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the customs authorities will not be able to carry out risk analysis for safety and security purposes on the basis of the data laid down for entry and exit summary declarations in Annex 30A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. In those cases, the customs authorities should use for their risk analysis the information available, at the latest upon presentation of the goods entering or leaving the customs territory of the Community.(5) On the basis of the information available it may be assumed that a transitional period of 18 months is sufficient to permit economic operators to comply with all obligations laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The derogations provided for in this Regulation should therefore end on 31 December 2010. Accordingly after 31 December 2010 electronic entry and exit summary declarations with the data laid down in Annex 30A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should be lodged within the prescribed time limits for goods entering or leaving the customs territory of the Community, and the facilitation provided for in Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should no longer apply.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. From 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010 the lodging of the entry summary declaration referred to in Articles 1(17) and 183 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall not be mandatory.That entry summary declaration can be lodged on a voluntary basis.Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the entry summary declaration is not lodged, the risk analysis referred to in Article 184d of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall be carried out by the customs authorities at the latest upon presentation of the goods at arrival in the customs territory of the Community, where appropriate on the basis of the declaration for temporary storage or the customs declaration covering the goods or any other information available for these goods.Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the entry summary declaration is not lodged, the provisions regarding goods brought into the customs territory of the Community laid down in Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 and in Part I Title VI of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 as applicable on 30 June 2009 shall apply. From 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010 the lodging of the exit summary declaration referred to in Articles 592f (1), 842a and 842b of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall not be mandatory.That exit summary declaration can be lodged on a voluntary basis.Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the exit summary declaration is not lodged, the risk analysis referred to in Article 842d(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall be carried out by the customs authorities at the latest upon presentation of the goods at the customs office of exit, where appropriate on the basis of the information available for these goods.Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the exit summary declaration is not lodged, re-exportation shall be notified to the customs authorities in accordance with Article 182(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 as it applied on 30 June 2009. Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 may be applied until 31 December 2010 with regard to approved exporters benefiting from this facilitation at the date of entry into force of this Regulation, provided that the customs office of exit is located in the same Member State as the customs office of export and receives the particulars necessary for the exit of the goods. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

40545,"2012/141/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 6 March 2012 on the financing of emergency surveillance measures for rabies in northern Greece (notified under document C(2012) 1354). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision 2009/470/EC provides that where a Member State is directly threatened by the occurrence or the development, in the territory of a third country or Member State, of one of the diseases listed in Annex I to that Decision, it may be decided to adopt measures appropriate to the situation and to grant a Union financial contribution towards the measures deemed particularly necessary for the success of the actions undertaken.(2) Rabies is an animal disease that mainly affects wild and domestic carnivores and has serious public health implications. It is one of the diseases listed in Annex I to Decision 2009/470/EC.(3) No case of rabies has been detected in Greece since 1987. However, following recent detection of that disease in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, it is necessary that rabies surveillance in northern Greece is urgently reinforced in order to define whether that disease is spreading to the territory of that Member State and to which extent there is a need for oral immunisation of wild carnivores in order to stop the spread and eradicate that disease.(4) On 27 January 2012, Greece submitted to the Commission an emergency plan for the reinforced surveillance of rabies (‘the plan’). The Commission has assessed the plan and found it to be acceptable. It is therefore appropriate that certain measures under that plan receive a Union financial contribution.(5) Greece has informed the Commission of the lack of personnel in its national reference laboratory for rabies in order to carry out the increased number of tests required to implement the plan. Given the current unfavourable financial situation and the urgency to set up and implement the plan, it is appropriate that the cost for laboratory staff specifically hired for carrying laboratory tests under the plan should be included in the costs eligible for a Union financial contribution.(6) Taking into account the urgency to implement the plan, it is justified that the Union financial contribution is made available for measures taken from 27 January 2012 when the plan was submitted to the Commission for financing.(7) This Decision constitutes a financing Decision within the meaning of Article 75 of the Financial Regulation.(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,. The ‘Emergency plan for the surveillance of rabies’ submitted by Greece to the Commission on 27 January 2012 (‘the plan’) is hereby approved for the grant of a Union financial contribution for the period from 27 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 (‘the financial contribution’). 1.   The financial contribution shall not exceed, in total, EUR 60 000.2.   The financial contribution shall include a lump sum of EUR 5 per wild animal collected and sent for rabies investigation under the plan.3.   The financial contribution shall be at the rate of 75 % of the costs to be incurred under the plan for the laboratory tests for the detection of rabies infection and for the isolation and characterisation of rabies virus.Those costs shall include:(a) the costs paid for the purchase of test kits, reagents and all consumables used to carry out the laboratory tests;(b) overheads equal to 7 % of the total sum of the costs referred to in point (a).However, the maximum amount of the costs to be reimbursed for a fluorescent antibody test (FAT) shall not exceed, in total, EUR 12 per test.4.   The financial contribution shall be at the rate of 75 % of the costs for personnel specifically hired for carrying out the laboratory tests referred to in paragraph 3.Those costs shall include:(a) the fee paid for the personnel or their actual salaries plus social security charges and other statutory costs included in their remuneration;(b) overheads equal to 7 % of the total sum of the costs referred to in point (a).However, the maximum amount of the costs to be reimbursed for such personnel shall not exceed, in total, EUR 25 000. 1.   The financial contribution shall be granted provided that Greece:(a) implements the plan in accordance with the relevant provisions of Union law, including rules on competition, the award of public contracts and State aid;(b) submits interim technical reports to the Commission in accordance with Annex I by the latest on:(i) 31 May 2012, covering the period from 27 January 2012 to 30 April 2012;(ii) 30 September 2012, covering the period from 1 May 2012 to 31 August 2012;(c) submits a final technical report and a financial report in accordance with Annexes I and II, covering the period from 27 January 2012 to 31 December 2012, by the latest on 28 February 2013;(d) implements satisfactorily the measures foreseen in the plan.2.   In the event that Greece does not comply with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, the Commission shall reduce the financial contribution taking into account the nature and gravity of the non-compliance and the financial loss incurred by the Union. This Decision shall apply from 27 January 2012. This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic..

10489,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 of 30 June 1992 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas the requirements of environmental protection are an integral part of the common agricultural policy;Whereas measures to reduce agricultural production in the Community must have a beneficial impact on the environment;Whereas many factors affect the environment; whereas it is subject to very diverse pressures within the Community;Whereas an appropriate aid scheme would encourage farmers to serve society as a whole by introducing or continuing to use farming practices compatible with the increasing demands of protection of the environment and natural resources and upkeep of the  landscape and the countryside;Whereas the introduction of an aid scheme to encourage substantial reductions in the use of fertilizers and plant-protection products or the use of organic farming methods can help not only to reduce agricultural pollution but also to adapt a number of  sectors to market requirements by encouraging less intensive production methods;Whereas a reduction in farm livestock or in animal proportion per hectare can help to avert environmental damage due to pressure from excessive numbers of sheep and cattle; whereas, therefore, the extensification scheme for various products provided for  in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (4) should be incorporated in the scheme introduced under this Regulation;Whereas the production of products for non-food uses under a Community set-aside scheme must comply with the requirements of environmental protection; whereas, therefore, this scheme must not apply to such products;Whereas a scheme to encourage the introduction or maintenance of particular farming practices may help to solve specific problems related to protection of the environment or the countryside and thus contribute to environmental policy goals;Whereas many agricultural and rural areas in the Community are increasingly threatened by depopulation, soil erosion, flooding and forest fires; whereas the institution of special measures to encourage the upkeep of land can reduce such risks;Whereas because of the scale of the problems such schemes should be applicable to all farmers in the Community who undertake to use farming methods which will protect, maintain or improve the environment and the countryside and to refrain from further  intensification of agricultural production;Whereas the current set-aside scheme for arable land provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 has been replaced by provisions in the regulations covering the common organization of the markets; whereas it appears nonetheless appropriate  to introduce a scheme for long-term set-aside of agricultural land for environmental reasons and for the protection of natural resources;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation must encourage farmers to make undertakings regarding farming methods compatible with the requirements of environmental protection and maintenance of the countryside, and thereby to contribute to  balancing the market; whereas the measures must compensate farmers for any income losses caused by reductions in output and/or increases in costs and for the part they play in improving the environment;Whereas the introduction by the Member States of codes of good agricultural practice can also help to make farming practices more compatible with the requirements of environmental protection;Whereas the diversity of the environment, natural conditions and the structure of agriculture in the various parts of the Community call for the measures provided for to be adapted; whereas they should therefore be implemented within the framework of  zonal programmes for the management of agricultural or abandoned land and possibly as part of national regulations;Whereas both the Community and the Member States must increase their effort to educate farmers in, and inform them of, the introduction of agricultural and forestry production methods compatible with the environment, and in particular regarding the  application of a code of good farming practice and organic farming;Whereas, in order to guarantee the maximum effectiveness of such programmes, it is vital to ensure that the results are disseminated and monitored regularly;Whereas such measures must contribute towards certain specific environmental goals set out in Community legislation;Whereas, given that the Community is to contribute to the financing of the scheme, it must be able to ascertain that the implementing arrangements adopted by the Member States contribute towards the attainment of its objectives; whereas the structure of  cooperation between the Member States and the Commission introduced by Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988, laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of the activities of the  different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (5), should be used for this purpose;Whereas the resources available for implementing the measures provided for in this Regulation must be additional to those available for the implementation of measures under the rules governing the Structural Funds, and in particular for measures  applicable in regions covered by Objectives 1 and 5 (b) as defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 (6),. Purpose of the aid schemeA Community aid scheme part-financed by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) is hereby instituted in order to:- accompany the changes to be introduced under the market organization rules,- contribute to the achievement of the Community's policy objectives regarding agriculture and the environment,- contribute to providing an appropriate income for farmers.This Community aid scheme is intended to promote:(a) the use of farming practices which reduce the polluting effects of agriculture, a fact which also contributes, by reducing production, to an improved market balance;(b) an environmentally favourable extensification of crop farming, and sheep and cattle farming, including the conversion of arable land into extensive grassland;(c) ways of using agricultural land which are compatible with protection and improvement of the environment, the countryside, the landscape, natural resources, the soil and genetic diversity;(d) the upkeep of abandoned farmland and woodlands where this is necessary for environmental reasons or because of natural hazards and fire risks, and thereby avert the dangers associated with the depopulation of agricultural areas;(e) long-term set-aside of agricultural land for reasons connected with the environment;(f) land management for public access and leisure activities;(g) education and training for farmers in types of farming compatible with the requirements of environmental protection and upkeep of the countryside. Aid scheme1. Subject to positive effects on the environment and the countryside, the scheme may include aid for farmers who undertake:(a) to reduce substantially their use of fertilizers and/or plant protection products, or to keep to the reductions already made, or to introduce or continue with organic farming methods;(b) to change, by means other than those referred to in (a), to more extensive forms of crop, including forage, production, or to maintain extensive production methods introduced in the past, or to convert arable land into extensive grassland;(c) to reduce the proportion of sheep and cattle per forage area;(d) to use other farming practices compatible with the requirements of protection of the environment and natural resources, as well as maintenance of the countryside and the landscape, or to rear animals of local breeds in danger of extinction;(e) to ensure the upkeep of abandoned farmland or woodlands;(f) to set aside farmland for at least 20 years with a view to its use for purposes connected with the environment, in particular for the establishment of biotope reserves or natural parks or for the protection of hydrological systems;(g) to manage land for public access and leisure activities.2. In addition, the scheme may include measures to improve the training of farmers with regard to farming or forestry practices compatible with the environment. Aid programmes1. Member States shall implement, throughout their territories, and in accordance with their specific needs, the aid scheme provided for in Article 2 by means of multiannual zonal programmes covering the objectives referred to in Article 1. The  programmes shall reflect the diversity of environmental situations, natural conditions and agricultural structures and the main types of farming practised, and Community environment priorities.2. Each zonal programme shall cover an area which is homogeneous in terms of the environment and the countryside and shall include, in principle, all of the aids provided for in Article 2. However, where there is sufficient justification, programmes may  be restricted to aids which are in line with the specific characteristics of an area.3. Zonal programmes shall be drawn up for a minimum period of five years and must contain at least the following information:(a) a definition of the geographical area and, where applicable, the sub-areas concerned;(b) a description of the natural, environmental and structural characteristics of the area;(c) a description of the proposed objectives and their justification in view of the characteristics of the area, including an indication of the Community environment legislation the objectives of which the programme seeks to fulfil;(d) the conditions for the grant of aid, taking into account the problems encountered;(e) an estimate of annual expenditure for implementing the zonal programme;(f) the arrangements made to provide appropriate information for agricultural and rural operators.4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may establish a general regulatory framework providing for the horizontal application throughout their territory of one or more of the aids referred to in Article 2. That framework must  be defined and, where appropriate, supplemented by the zonal programmes referred to in paragraph 1. Nature and amounts of aid1. An annual premium per hectare or livestock unit removed from a herd shall be granted to farmers who give one or more of the undertakings referred to in Article 2 for at least five years, in accordance with the programme applicable in the zone  concerned. In the case of set-aside, the undertaking shall be for 20 years.2. The maximum eligible amount of the premium shall be:- ECU 150 per hectare for annual crops for which a premium per hectare is granted under the market regulations governing the crops in question,- ECU 250 per hectare for other annual crops and pasture,- ECU 210 for each sheep or cattle livestock unit by which a herd is reduced,- ECU 100 for each livestock unit of an endangered breed reared,- ECU 400 per hectare for specialized olive groves,- ECU 1 000 per hectare for citrus fruits,- ECU 700 per hectare for other perennial crops and wine,- ECU 250 per hectare for the upkeep of abandoned land,- ECU 600 per hectare for land set aside,- ECU 250 per hectare for the cultivation and propagation of useful plants adapted to local conditions and threatened by genetic erosion.The table for converting animals into livestock units is given in the Annex.3. The maximum eligible amount for annual crops and pasture shall be increased to ECU 350 per hectare if the farmer has, at the same time and for the same area, given one or more of the undertakings referred to in Article 2 (1) (a) and (b), together  with an undertaking as referred to in Article 2 (1) (d).4. Where a premium is granted for the reduction of the number of livestock units:- the aids provided for in Article 2 (1) (a) and (b) may not be granted for the forage area of the holding,- the maximum eligible amount of premium for forage areas under Article 2 (1) (d) shall be reduced by 50 %.5. Subject to conditions to be determined by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Community may also contribute to the premiums referred to in the preceding paragraphs which are  granted by Member States in order to compensate for income losses resulting from the mandatory application of the restrictions referred to in Article 2 in the context of measures implemented in the Member States pursuant to Community provisions.6. Member States may stipulate that a farmer's undertaking may be given in the context of an overall plan for the entire holding or for a part thereof.In such cases, the amount of the aid may be calculated as an overall figure taking account of the individual amounts and conditions in this Article and Article 5. Conditions of grant1. In order to achieve the objectives of this Regulation in the context of the general rules referred to in Article 3 (4) and/or the zonal programmes, Member States shall determine:(a) the conditions for granting aid;(b) the amount of aid to be paid, on the basis of the undertaking given by the beneficiary and of the loss of income and of the need to provide an incentive;(c) the terms on which the aid for the upkeep of abandoned land as referred to in Article 2 (1) (e) may be granted to persons other than farmers, where no farmers are available;(d) the conditions to be met by the beneficiary to ensure that compliance with the undertakings may be verified and monitored;(e) the terns on which the aid may be granted where the farmer personally is unable to give an undertaking for the minimum period required.2. No aid may be granted under this Regulation in respect of areas subject to the Community set-aside scheme which are being used for the production of non-food products.3. While ensuring that the incentive content of the measure is retained, Member Sates may restrict the aid to a maximum amount per holding and differentiate it according to holding size. Courses, traineeships and demonstration projects1. Where no financing is granted under Article 28 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91, Member States may introduce a separate aid scheme for training courses and traineeships concerned with agricultural and forestry production practices compatible with the  requirements of protection of the environment and natural resources and maintenance of the countryside and the landscape, and particularly with codes of good farming practice or good organic farming practice. The aid scheme shall include the grant of  aid:- for attendance of courses and traineeships,- for the organization and implementation of courses and traineeships.The expenditure incurred by the Member States in granting the aid referred to in the first subparagraph shall be eligible up to ECU 2 500 per person completing a full course or traineeship.The measure concerned by this Article shall not cover courses or traineeships which are part of normal programmes or curricula of secondary or higher agricultural education.2. The Community may contribute to demonstration projects concerning farming practices compatible with the requirements on environmental protection, and in particular the application of a code of good farming practice and organic farming practice.The Community contribution referred to in the first subparagraph may cover assistance for training and education initiatives (including materials) organized by local or non-governmental organizations competent in this field. Programme appraisal procedure1. Member States shall communicate to the Commission, by 30 July 1993 the draft general regulatory framework referred to in Article 3 (4) and the draft programmes referred to in Article 3 (1) and any existing or proposed laws, regulations or  administrative provisions by which they intend to apply this Regulation.2. The Commission shall examine the texts communicated in order to determine:- their compliance with this Regulation, taking account of its objectives and the links between the various measures,- the nature of the measures eligible for part-financing,- the total amount of expenditure eligible for part-financing.3. The Commission shall decide on the approval of the general regulatory framework and zonal programmes, on the basis of the factors listed in paragraph 2 and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.

EXISTING MEASURES(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88(2), which was further amended by Regulation (EC) No 1074/96(3) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyester textured filament yarn originating in Taiwan and Turkey.B. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW(2) A request for an interim review of Regulation (EC) No 1074/96 by which the Council further amended Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 was received from LeaLea Enterprise Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ""LeaLea""), a Taiwanese exporting producer of the product concerned subject to the anti-dumping measures in force.(3) This request pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the ""basic Regulation""), claimed a change in circumstances on the basis of which the measures in force were established to justify the initiation of a review. According to the request, a better production efficiency that led to a lasting drop in production costs reduced LeaLea's normal value. At the same time, LeaLea's export prices have increased. LeaLea claimed that, therefore, the existing measures should be repealed insofar as they apply to it.(4) As the request contained sufficient prima facie evidence, the Commission, after having consulted the Advisory Committee, decided to initiate an interim review(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1074/96.(5) This interim review was limited in scope to the examination of dumping of LeaLea.C. PROCEDURE(6) The period of investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 April 1998 to 31 March 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the ""investigation period"").(7) The Commission officially advised the representatives of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review and gave all the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.(8) A submission was received from The International Rayon and Synthetic Fibres Committee, i.e. the complainant in the original case.(9) The Commission services sent a questionnaire and received detailed information from LeaLea as well as from one of its related companies.(10) The Commission services sought and verified all information they deemed necessary for the purpose of a determination of dumping and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:- LeaLea Enterprise Co. Ltd., Taipei, Taiwan- Solelytex Industrial Corporation, Taipei, Taiwan, i.e. producer related to LeaLea.(11) The interested parties were informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend a further amendment of Regulation (EC) No 3905/88 and were given an opportunity to comment. No comment was received within the deadline set for that purpose.D. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION AND LIKE PRODUCT1. Product under consideration(12) The product under consideration is the same as in the previous investigation, i.e. polyester textured filament yarn (hereinafter referred to as ""PTY""). PTY is directly derived from partially oriented polyester yarn, and is used in both the weaving and the knitting sectors to make polyester or polyester/cotton fabrics. The product is currently classifiable within CN code 5402 33 00. It should be noted, however, that the Council Regulation imposing definitive measures refers to CN codes 5402 33 10 and 5402 33 90 which were applicable for the product classification at the time the Regulation was published.(13) There are different types of PTY, depending on the weight (""denier""), the number of filaments and the lustre. There are also different qualities, depending on the efficiency of the production process. However, no significant differences exist in the basic characteristics and uses of the different types and qualities of PTY. All types of PTY have been and are considered as one product for the purposes of this investigation.2. Like product(14) As in the previous investigation, this investigation has shown that the PTY produced in Taiwan by LeaLea and sold on the Taiwanese market or exported to the Community has the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and the same uses, and therefore, is to be considered a like product within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.E. DUMPING CALCULATION1. Normal value(15) As far as the determination of normal value is concerned, it was first established whether LeaLea's total domestic sales of the like product were representative in comparison with its total export sales to the Community. In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation this was found to be the case since the domestic sales volume of LeaLea was at least 5 % of its total sales volume to the Community.(16) For each of the types sold by LeaLea on its domestic market and found to be directly comparable to the types exported to the Community, it was examined whether domestic sales were sufficiently representative for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation. This was considered to be the case when, during the investigation period, the total domestic sales volume of a type represented 5 % or more of the total sales volume of the same type exported to the Community.(17) For the 10 product types meeting the 5 % test, an examination was also made as to whether the domestic sales of each type could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, by establishing the proportion of sales to independent customers of the type in question not made at a loss. In cases where sales of a type not made at a loss represented more than 80 % of the total domestic sales volume of that type, normal value was based on a weighted average price of all domestic sales made during the investigation period (i. e. four types). In cases where the volume of sales of a type not made at a loss represented at least 10 %, but not more than 80 % of the total domestic sales volume of that type, normal value was based on a weighted average price of the sales not made at a loss only (i. e. five types).(18) For the product types where the volume of domestic sales was lower than 5 % of the volume exported to the Community (i. e. four types), or where the volume of domestic sales not made at a loss was less than 10 % (i. e. one type), domestic sales of these product types were considered insufficient within the meaning of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation. For these types, normal value was constructed on the basis of the costs of manufacturing incurred by LeaLea for the exported product type in question plus a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative costs (""SG& A"") and profits in accordance with Article 2(3) and (6) of the basic Regulation. The SG& A were based on LeaLea's domestic sales of the like product. The profit margin was based on LeaLea's domestic sales of the like product made in the ordinary course of trade.2. Export price(19) Since all export sales of the product under consideration were made directly to independent customers in the Community, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, on the basis of prices paid or payable.3. Comparison(20) The comparison was made on an ex-factory basis and at the same level of trade. For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability, i.e. transport costs, insurance costs, handling, loading and ancillary costs, credit costs and commissions.4. Dumping margin(21) The comparison was made between the weighted average adjusted normal value per product type and the weighted average net ex-works export price for the same product type, in accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation.(22) The comparison as described above showed the existence of a de minimis dumping for LeaLea (i. e. a dumping margin of 0,3 %).F. LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES(23) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances could reasonably be said to be of a lasting nature. In this respect, it was found that LeaLea's output had considerably increased as compared to the original investigation period (i. e. 1 July 1993 until 30 June 1994) due to the setting up in 1997 of its own production facilities for both polymers and partially oriented yarn. The use of partially oriented yarn produced in-house led to a significant drop in production costs and a related fall in domestic prices of PTY which, together with an increase in export prices, can, at least partly, be considered as a lasting change.G. CONCLUSION(24) The investigation found that dumping during the investigation period has been reduced to a de minimis level due to a fall in the normal value and an increase in export prices. These changes are considered to be of a lasting nature. This is particularly the case in respect of the reduction in the normal value, which is due to a better production efficiency that led to a lasting drop in production costs.(25) In the light of the foregoing, the Council considers that the measures currently in force for LeaLea should be repealed.(26) Since the repeal of the measures concerns only LeaLea, and not Taiwan as a whole, LeaLea remains subject to the proceeding and may be reinvestigated in any subsequent review carried out for Taiwan pursuant to Article 11 of the basic Regulation,. Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 shall be replaced by the following:""Article 21. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of polyester textured filament yarn (PTY) falling within CN code 5402 33 00 originating in Taiwan and Turkey.2.

40620,"2012/270/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 16 May 2012 as regards emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) (notified under document C(2012) 3137). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the third sentence of Article 16(3), thereof,Whereas:(1) It appears from an assessment carried out by the Commission on the basis of a pest risk analysis produced by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation that Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) cause harmful effects to susceptible plants. They affect, in particular, tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., including those intended for planting, hereinafter ‘potato tubers’, which are produced in the whole Union. Those organisms are listed neither in Annex I nor in Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC.(2) Portugal has informed the Commission that Epitrix cucumeris (Harris) and Epitrix similaris (Gentner) are present in that Member State. A notification submitted by Spain on 8 September 2010 shows the first findings of Epitrix similaris (Gentner) in one region of that Member State. The available information also shows that Epitrix cucumeris (Harris) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) are present in a third country that currently exports potato tubers to the Union.(3) Measures should be provided for concerning the introduction into the Union of potato tubers from third countries where Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) or Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) is known to be present. Measures should also be provided for concerning the movement of potato tubers originating in areas of the Union where the presence of one or more of those organisms is confirmed.(4) Surveys concerning the presence of Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) should be carried out on potato tubers and potato fields in all Member States and the results notified. Member States may also choose to carry out surveys on other plants.(5) Measures should provide for Member States to establish demarcated areas in cases where the presence of Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) or Epitrix tuberis (Gentner) is confirmed in order to eradicate or at least contain the organisms concerned and to ensure intensive monitoring for their presence.(6) Member States should, if necessary, adapt their legislation in order to comply with this Decision.(7) This Decision should be in force until 30 September 2014 to allow time for the evaluation of its efficacy.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,.

The Commission authorizes Finland to grant within the limits and conditions set out in this decision:(a) the aids contained in the Annex I during the transitional period;(b) the aids contained in Annex II:- in the form they are provided for 1995,- in the form of area or headage/livestock unit for the following years of the transitional period. 1.

The Finnish authorities shall ensure respect of the provisions of Article 3 (2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 3095/94 (4). 1. For aids referred to in Article 1, point b), Finland shall notify the Commission before 1 November 1995 the conversion rates envisaged to set the amounts on an area or headage/livestock unit basis from 1996 to 1999. These conversion rates shall be the subject of a Commission decision taken no later than 1 January 1996.2. In order to verify respect of the provisions of Article 138 concerning the initial levels of aid related to horticultural products contained in the Annex, Finland shall provide data to the Commission on a quarterly basis which shows for the aids concerned the level of producer prices in 1995 on the domestic market. In the event that these prices are significantly higher than those used to determine the initial level of aid, the Commission may revise this Decision. Any such revision shall be reflected in the aid rates only for the remainder of the transitional period but ensure that over the entire transitional period there is no overcompensation.3. This Decision is without prejudice to decisions which may be taken for products not listed in the Annex and to the provisions of Article 138 (5) of the Act of Accession. The Finnish authorities shall communicate to the Commission annual reports on the application of this Decision which include, in particular, data concerning the development of production of and trade in the products subject to aid. These reports for each year shall be communicated no later than 30 April of the following year. This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Finland..

35079,"2008/361/EC: Commission Decision of 6 May 2008 on the financial contribution of the Community for the year 2008 for the computerisation of veterinary procedures, the Animal disease notification system, communication measures and studies and evaluations. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 17, 20, 37(2) and 37a(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing the Community's financial contribution towards specific veterinary measures, in particular as regards the information policy for animal health, animal welfare and food safety, technical and scientific measures and control.(2) Article 37a(1)(b) of Decision 90/424/EEC provides that a Community financial contribution may be granted for the computerisation of the veterinary procedures relating to hosting, management and maintenance of integrated computerised veterinary systems, including interfaces with national databases, where appropriate. A Community financial contribution should therefore be granted for the hosting, management and maintenance of the integrated computerised veterinary system TRACES (Trade Control and Expert System), introduced by Commission Decision 2003/24/EC of 30 December 2002 concerning the development of an integrated computerised veterinary system (2), in order to ensure that the system is available, secure and updated.(3) Article 37(1) of Decision 90/424/EEC provides that the introduction of systems for identifying animals and notifying diseases under legislation concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade in live animals, with a view to the completion of the internal market, may receive Community financial assistance. A Community financial contribution should therefore be granted in order to update the animal disease notification system (ADNS), based on Commission Decision 2005/176/EC of 1 March 2005 laying down the codified form and the codes for the notification of animal diseases pursuant to Council Directive 82/894/EEC (3), with the necessary technical improvements.(4) The Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new Animal Health Strategy for the European Union (2007-2013) where ‘Prevention is better than cure’ (4) (‘the Communication on a new animal health strategy’) provides that the Commission is committed to improve communication towards consumers and stakeholders.(5) Article 16 of Decision 90/424/EEC provides that the Community is to make a financial contribution to the establishment of an information policy in the field of animal health, animal welfare and food safety in products of animal origin.

As a consequence, a study addressing cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness issues related to the electronic identification of cattle is necessary before introducing new legislation in this field. In order to improve the role of the Community reference laboratories an evaluation of their functioning and performance is deemed necessary. The outcome of these studies and evaluations will be the basis for legislative review in this fields if deemed necessary. A Community financial contribution should therefore be granted to fund studies and evaluations in the areas of food safety, animal health and welfare and zootechnics.

8673,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 3568/90 of 4 December 1990 on the introduction of transitional tariff measures for Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia until 31 December 1992 to take account of German unification. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 28, 43 and 113 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),Whereas the Common Customs Tariff will be fully applicable to the territory of the former German Democratic Republic as from 3 October 1990, the date of German unification;Whereas the former German Democratic Republic had concluded numerous agreements with Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia which provided for a yearly exchange of specific goods in maximum quantities or to maximum  values at a zero rate of duty; whereas the former German Democratic Republic had concluded long-term cooperation and investment agreements with Czechoslovakia, Poland and the USSR which will give rise to reciprocal deliveries of goods at zero rates of  duty for many years to come;Whereas agreements of the first type will not be renewed after 31 December 1990 and agreements of the second type will be renegotiated at Community, German or private enterprise level, but whereas this process of renegotiation will take some time;Whereas the maximum quantities or values mentioned in these agreements do not entail legally binding obligations between the parties; whereas non-enforcement thereof cannot therefore give rise to any compensation by the Community;Whereas it is necessary, therefore, during a transitional period to attenuate the impact resulting from German unification on both types of agreement as otherwise serious repercussions on enterprises in the territory of the former German Democratic  Republic and in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia could result and indeed the stability of the economies of these countries might be adversely affected thereby;Whereas for these reasons it is appropriate to suspend temporarily the duties of the Common Customs Tariff for products originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia which are covered by the abovementioned  agreements betwen the former German Democratic Republic and these countries, up to the maximum quantities or values laid down therein;Whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy which are referred to in Article 39 of the Treaty permit the application of the principles pursued by this Regulation only to those products which are subject to a customs duty; whereas  Community systems of reference prices or minimum prices and agricultural levies and other import charges imposed by market organizations must continue to apply; whereas, in view of the sensitivity of the markets, no exemption for the beef sector is  possible;Whereas it is appropriate, in view of the special circumstances of German unification, for the said suspension of duties to be applicable to the products concerned only in so far as they are put into free circulation in the territory of the former  German Democratic Republic;Whereas it is necessary to make provision for determining the origin of the goods which will be covered by the said suspension of duties;Whereas, in view of the difficulties in applying these measures and the fact that some of their consequences are unforeseeable, it is appropriate to emphasize thetransitional character of these measures and restrict their duration to a two-year period up to 31 December 1992;Whereas it is appropriate to provide for special measures and a procedure to put them in place, in case the temporary suspension of duties causes or threatens to cause serious injury to a branch of Community industry,. 1.  From 3 October 1990, the date of German unification, to 31 December 1992 import duties within the meaning of Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2144/87 of13 July 1987 on customs debt(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4108/88(4), including the existing anti-dumping duties, shall be suspended for goods originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Yugoslavia covered by  the agreements listed in Annexes I and II concluded between those countries and the former German Democratic Republic - the essential elements of which shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities - up to the maximum quantities  or values established by the said agreements.However, as far as agricultural products which are referred to in Annex II to the Treaty are concerned, agricultural levies and other import charges imposed pursuant to the common agricultural policy will continue to be applied; where systems of  reference prices or minimum import prices exist, they must be adhered to in practice.The exemptions referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply to beef and veal or live animals other than purebred bovine breeding animals.2.  The provisions of paragraph 1 shall be applicable only if:the goods in question are released for free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and are consumed there or undergo processing conferring Community origin there(5),a licence issued by the relevant German authorities stating that the goods in question fall within the scope of the provisions contained in paragraph 1 is submitted in support of the declaration of entry for release for free circulation.3.  The Commission and the competent German authorities shall take whatever measures are needed to ensure that the final consumption of the products in question, of the processing by which they acquire Community origin, takes place in the territory of  the former German Democratic Republic. To determine the origin of the goods referred to in , Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1769/89(7), shall apply. 1.

33629,"2007/642/EC: Commission Decision of 4 October 2007 on emergency measures applying to fishery products imported from Albania and intended for human consumption (notified under document number C(2007) 4482) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b) thereof,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, the necessary measures must be adopted where it is evident that food imported from a third country is likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health or the environment and that such risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member State(s) concerned.(2) Under 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 (2), food business operators must ensure that the limits with regard to histamine in fishery products are not exceeded. Those limits, together with the sampling and analytical methods, were established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 of 15 November 2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs (3).(3) A recent Community inspection in Albania has revealed a limited capacity of the Albanian authorities to carry out the necessary checks, in particular to detect histamine in fish and fishery products.(4) Excessive levels of histamine in fishery products constitute a serious risk for human health.(5) It is appropriate to adopt at Community level measures applicable to imports of fishery products which might be contaminated to ensure effective and uniform protection in all the Member States.(6) Imports into the Community of fishery products from fish species associated with a high amount of histamine, should be authorised only if it can be shown that they have been subjected to a systematic check at origin to verify that their histamine levels do not exceed the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005.(7) However, it is appropriate to temporarily authorise, the import of consignments that are not accompanied by the results of checks at origin, provided that Member States ensure that those consignments undergo appropriate checks on arrival at the Community border to verify that their histamine levels do not exceed the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005. This temporary authorisation should be limited to the time that would allow the Albanian authorities to build their own check capacity.(8) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 sets up the rapid alert system for food and feed, which should be used to implement the mutual information requirement provided for in Article 22(2) of Council Directive 97/78/EC (4). In addition, the Member States should keep the Commission informed through periodical reports of all analytical results of official controls carried out in respect of consignments of fishery products from Albania.(9) This Decision should be reviewed in the light of the guarantees offered by Albania and on the basis of the results of the tests carried out by Member States.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. ScopeThis Decision shall apply to fishery products of fish belonging to the families Scombridae, Clupeidae, Coryfenidae, Pomatomidae and Scombresosidae imported from Albania and intended for human consumption. Analytical tests for histamine1.   Member States shall authorise the import into the Community of products referred to in Article 1 only if they are accompanied by the results of an analytical test for histamine carried out in Albania or a foreign accredited laboratory before consignment which reveals histamine levels below the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005. These tests must be carried out following the sampling and the analytical method referred in Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the import of products referred to in Article 1 that are not accompanied by the results of the analytical test as referred to in paragraph 1 provided that the importing Member State ensures that each consignment of those products undergoes tests to verify that the histamine levels are below the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005. These tests must be carried out following the sampling and the analytical method referred in Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005. The competent authority shall place the consignment concerned under official detention until it obtains a favourable result. ReportsMember States shall immediately inform the Commission if tests carried out pursuant to Article 2(2) reveal histamine levels exceeding the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 for fishery products.Member States shall submit to the Commission a report on all tests carried out pursuant to Article 2(2).Member States shall use the rapid alert system for food and feed set up by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 for the submission of that information and those reports. Charging of expenditureAll expenditure incurred in the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignor, the consignee or the agent of either. ComplianceMember States shall immediately inform the Commission of the measures they take to comply with this Decision.

Access is deemed to be unrestricted if the Member State has implemented and applied the relevant Community legislation opening a given sector or a part of it.(5) Since Italy has implemented and applied Directive 97/67/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 1997 on common rules for the development of the internal market of Community postal services and the improvement of quality of service (2), access to the market should be deemed not to be restricted in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(3) of Directive 2004/17/EC.(6) Direct exposure to competition in a particular market should be evaluated on the basis of various criteria, none of which are, per se, decisive. In respect of the markets concerned by this decision, the market share of the main players constitutes one criterion which should be taken into account. Another criterion is the degree of concentration.(7) This Decision is without prejudice to the application of the rules on competition.III.   ASSESSMENT(8) As a public enterprise within the meaning of Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2004/17/EC exercising several of the activities mentioned in Article 6 of that Directive, Poste Italiane, on whose behalf the request has been introduced, is a contracting entity for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC. According to the available information, it would seem to be the sole contracting entity operating in the markets concerned by this decision.(9) A number of companies are active in the provision of courier and express services in Italy, both for domestic as well as for international services. Whether seen alone or together with its wholly owned subsidiary, SDA Express Courier (SDA), Poste Italiane does not have the biggest market share in respect of either domestic or international express and courier services. In fact, for domestic express and courier services, its market share in 2006 amounted to 5,2 % (15,4 % including the 10,2 % share of SDA) and the aggregate market shares of its two largest competitors on this market amounted to 43,5 % in 2006. In respect of international express and courier services, Poste Italiane had a market share in 2006 of 2,7 % (3,4 % including the 0,7 % share of SDA) whereas the aggregate market shares of its two largest competitors in 2006 amounted to 61,7 %. These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition of express and courier services, domestic and international.IV.   CONCLUSIONS(10) In view of the factors examined in recitals (8) and (9), the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered to be met in Italy in respect of express and courier services, domestic and international.(11) Since the condition of unrestricted access to the market is deemed to be met, Directive 2004/17/EC should not apply when contracting entities award contracts intended to enable express and courier services, domestic and international, to be carried out in Italy, nor when design contests are organised for the pursuit of such an activity in Italy.(12) This Decision is based on the legal and factual situation as of January to February 2008 as it appears from the information submitted by the Italian Republic. It may be revised, should significant changes in the legal or factual situation mean that the conditions for the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are no longer met,. Directive 2004/17/EC shall not apply to contracts awarded by contracting entities and intended to enable express and courier services, domestic and international, to be carried out in Italy.

4460,"2007/475/EC: Commission Decision of 25 June 2007 on the compatibility with Community law of measures taken by Italy pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Council Directive 89/552/EEC on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 89/552/EEC on the coordination of certain provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities (1), and in particular Article 3a(2) thereof,Having regard to the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 23a of Directive 89/552/EEC,Whereas:(1) By letter of 10 May 1999, Italy notified to the Commission measures taken on 9 March 1999 pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC.(2) The Commission verified, within three months from this notification, whether such measures are compatible with Community law, in particular as regards the proportionality of the measures and the transparency of the national consultation procedure.(3) In its examination, the Commission took into consideration the available data on the Italian media landscape.(4) The list of events of major importance for society included in the Italian measures was drawn up in a clear and transparent manner.(5) The Commission was satisfied that the events listed in the Italian measures met at least two of the following criteria considered to be reliable indicators of the importance of events for society: (i) a special general resonance within the Member State, and not simply a significance to those who ordinarily follow the sport or activity concerned; (ii) a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the population in the Member State, in particular as a catalyst of cultural identity; (iii) involvement of the national team in the event concerned in the context of a competition or tournament of international importance; and (iv) the fact that the event has traditionally been broadcast on free television and has commanded large television audiences.(6) A significant number of the events listed in the Italian measures, including the summer and winter Olympic games, the World Cup and the European Championship football matches involving the Italian national team, as well as the finals of these tournaments, fall within the category of events traditionally considered to be of major importance for society, as referred to explicitly in recital 18 of Directive 97/36/EC. These events have a special general resonance in Italy, as they are particularly popular with the general public, not just with those who usually follow sport events. Moreover, they have a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Italian population, given their important contribution to understanding between peoples and the importance of sport for the Italian society as a whole and for the national pride, as they provide the occasion for top Italian sportsmen to succeed in these most important international competitions.(7) The other listed football events have a special general resonance in Italy and have a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for the Italian population, given the importance of football for the Italian society as a whole and for the national pride, as they provide the occasion for Italian teams to succeed in top-level football matches attracting international attention.(8) The Giro d’Italia has a special general resonance in Italy and a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance as a catalyst of national cultural identity, not only because of its importance as a highlevel sports event but also as an occasion to promote the country of Italy.(9) The special general resonance in Italy and the generally recognised, distinct cultural importance of the Formula One Italian Grand Prix for the Italian population results from the great success of Italian cars in Formula One races.(10) The San Remo Italian music festival has a special general resonance in Italy and has a generally recognised, distinct cultural importance for Italian cultural identity as a ‘popular culture’ event forming part of the Italian cultural tradition.(11) The Italian measures appear proportionate so as to justify a the derogation from the fundamental EC Treaty freedom to provide services on the basis of an overriding reason of public interest, which is to ensure wide public access to broadcasts of events of major importance for society.(12) The Italian measures are compatible with EC competition rules in that the definition of qualified broadcasters for the broadcasting of listed events is based on objective criteria which allow actual and potential competition for the acquisition of the rights to broadcast these events. In addition, the number of listed events is not disproportionate so as to distort competition on the downstream free television and pay-television markets.(13) After communication by the Commission to the other Member States of the Italian measures and consultation of the Committee established pursuant to Article 23a of Directive 89/552/EEC, the Director-General for Education and Culture informed Italy, by letter of 5 July 1999, that the European Commission did not intend to object to the measures notified.(14) On 7 September 1999, an amendment to the Italian measures was notified to the Commission. This amendment did not introduce any changes to the events listed.(15) The Italian measures were published in the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) in accordance with Article 3a(2) of Directive 89/552/EEC. The corrigendum to that publication was subsequently published in the C Series of the Official Journal of the European Communities (3).(16) It follows from the judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-33/01, Infront WM v Commission, that the declaration that measures taken pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC are compatible with Community law constitutes a decision within the meaning of Article 249 of the EC Treaty, which must therefore be adopted by the Commission. Accordingly, it is necessary to declare by this Decision that the measures notified by Italy are compatible with Community law. The measures, as set out in the Annex to this Decision, should be published in the Official Journal in accordance with Article 3a(2) of Directive 89/552/EEC,. The measures pursuant to Article 3a(1) of Directive 89/552/EEC notified by Italy to the Commission on 10 May 1999, as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 277 of 30 September 1999 (corrigendum in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 208 of 26 July 2001), are compatible with Community law. The measures, as set out in the Annex to this Decision, shall be published in the Official Journal in accordance with Article 3a(2) of Directive 89/552/EEC..

35431,"Commission Directive 2008/85/EC of 5 September 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include thiabendazole as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes thiabendazole.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, thiabendazole has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Spain was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 9 May 2006 in accordance with 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 February 2008, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing thiabendazole may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include thiabendazole in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing thiabendazole can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood exposed to weathering. Therefore, authorisations for these uses should not be granted unless data have been submitted in order to demonstrate that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing thiabendazole and used as wood preservatives to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments since unacceptable risks in these compartments have been identified during the evaluation and products intended for industrial and/or professional use should be used with appropriate protective equipment if the risk identified for industrial and/or professional users cannot be reduced by other means.(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance thiabendazole and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing thiabendazole to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

In particular, labels and/or safety data sheets of products authorised for industrial use shall indicate that freshly treated timber must be stored after treatment under shelter or on impermeable hard standing to prevent direct losses to soil or water and that any losses must be collected for reuse or disposal.Products shall not be authorised for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors or for wood that will be exposed to weathering, unless data is submitted to demonstrate that the product will meet the requirements of Article 5 and Annex VI, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures.’(1)  For the implementation of the common principles of Annex VI, the content and conclusions of assessment reports are available on the Commission website: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/environment/biocides/index.htm

5688,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 786/2013 of 16 August 2013 amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the permitted limits of yessotoxins in live bivalve molluscs  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)(d) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. That Regulation provides that food business operators are to ensure that live bivalve molluscs placed on the market for human consumption do not contain certain marine biotoxins in total quantities, measured in the whole body or any part edible separately, that exceed the limits set out in point 2 of Chapter V of Section VII of Annex III thereto. Point 2(d) of that Chapter sets out the maximum limit for yessotoxins at 1 milligram of yessotoxin equivalent per kilogram.(2) In December 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted an Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food chain on a request from the European Commission on marine biotoxins in shellfish — yessotoxin group (2). According to that Opinion, in a series of acute toxicity studies following oral administration of yessotoxins, no lethality and no clinical signs of toxicity were observed. In addition, EFSA concluded that a portion of shellfish should not contain more than 3,75 milligrams of yessotoxin equivalent per kilogram. That level is above the current limit set out in point 2(d) of Chapter V of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.(3) The 32nd Session of the CODEX Committee on Fish and Fishery Products (1-5 October 2012) confirmed the exclusion of yessotoxins from the list of marine biotoxins that should be tested at international level.(4) In the light of the EFSA Opinion and of the conclusions of the 32nd Session of the CODEX Committee on Fish and Fishery Products, it is appropriate to increase the current limit for yessotoxins to 3,75 milligrams yessotoxin equivalent per kilogram.(5) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) 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,. In Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, point 2(d) of Chapter V of Section VII is replaced by the following:‘(d) for yessotoxins, 3,75 milligrams of yessotoxin equivalent per kilogram;’. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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..

Cheeses3.2.   Description of product to which the name in (1) appliesCheese obtained by slow draining of the curds, following coagulation of unadulterated raw ewe’s milk obtained from Bordaleira Serra da Estrela and/or Churra Mondegueira ewes, using the cardoon flower (Cynara cardunculus, L) as rennet. The minimum ripening time for ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ cheese is 30 days. When the ripening time reaches a minimum of 120 days, the designation of origin ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ is qualified as ‘Velho’ (mature).The main characteristics of the product are as follows:‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’Shape and consistency Short (flat) regular cylinder with bulging sides and some bulging on the top and no defined edge Short (flat) regular cylinder, slight or no bulging on the sides and no spineRind Smooth and semi-soft Smooth to slightly wrinkled and hard to extra hard.Weight Between 0.5 and 1.7 kg 0.7 to 1.2 kgDiameter 9 to 20 cm 11 to 20 cmHeight 4 to 6 cm 3 to 6 cmTexture Closed, slightly buttery, loses its shape on cutting, well bound, creamy and smooth, with few or no eyes Closed or with some eyes, slightly dry crumbly body, smoothColour White or slightly sallow Yellowish to orange/light brown, becoming darker from the outside towards the centreSensory characteristics Smooth, clean and slightly acidic bouquet Pleasant, lingering, clean, strong to slightly strong and slightly spicy/salty bouquetProtein 26 to 33 % 36 to 43 %Fats 45 to 60 % > 60 %Humidity 61 to 69 % 49 to 56 %Ash 5 to 6.5 % 7 to 8 %3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)The raw materials used are exclusively as follows:— unadulterated raw ewe’s milk obtained from Bordaleira Serra da Estrela and/or Churra Mondegueira ewes in the defined geographical area. The rearing and feeding conditions of the animals are subject to specific rules;— edible salt;— the cardoon flower (Cynara cardunculus, L), a plant-based rennet.3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)Since open-air rearing is the most common technique, only extensive or semi-extensive production systems are permitted. The animals graze in an area with characteristically wild vegetation including pine forests, thickets and meadows. Transhumance, where the animals are moved to other zones (or pastures) located in the same geographical area (according to the time of the year and available feed) is practised regularly. Other pasture and fodder species are also usually grown in the region and are used as feed supplements for local sheep during periods in which feed is less available. However, and only in times of extreme climatic and soil conditions (snow or drought for instance), straight or compound feedstuffs may be used to strengthen animals’ diets, mainly at the start and end of the gestation period or at the height of the lactation period. The use of these feedstuffs must be authorised by the producer group and is controlled both quantitatively and qualitatively by the certification body.3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical areaGiven that the animals must be of certified genetic or territorial origin, that their diet is governed by strict rules in terms of pasture quality and quantity, that the natural surroundings are crucial for obtaining milk and cheese with the required characteristics, that of all the steps in production are regularly monitored both for product traceability and for the organoleptic qualities of the final product, and that the manufacture and ripening stages are delicate operations both in terms of traceability and the authenticity, hygiene and the sensory properties of the final product, all of the production steps of ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ must take place in the geographical area defined in point 4, from the birth of the animals to the packaging of the cheese, whatever commercial presentation is used.3.6.   Specific rules on slicing, grating, packaging, etc.Since ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ is a live product which continues to develop even after it is preserved, cut and packaged, these operations may only take place in the region of origin in view of the need to:— guarantee the product’s authenticity and the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics which define the special quality of these cheeses – attributes which only the producers, who live in the region and regularly consume these products, are capable of recognising;— assess the quality of each cheese individually before subjecting it to any of the above-mentioned operations;— ensure that the cheese, even when cut, remains characteristically creamy. To achieve that, it is imperative to select cheeses which are sufficiently mature when the relevant operation is carried out;— ensure that, for ‘queijo velho’, the slices have the required consistency, with crumbling. To achieve that, it is imperative to select cheeses with the appropriate bouquet and consistency during the ripening phase, which is an opportune time to cut the cheese;— guarantee the traditional reputation of the product is maintained and is not imitated and that the consumer is not misled;— guarantee that the health and hygiene conditions of the product are constantly maintained throughout the various operations;— make it possible to monitor the operations properly and in line with regulatory requirements;— guarantee that each unit or portion of cheese is traceable to its production facilities and its agricultural holding, thereby ensuring the geographical origin of the product.3.7.   Specific rules concerning labellingIn addition to the mandatory wording required by the law, the following are also mandatory:— the words ‘QUEIJO SERRA DA ESTRELA – Protected designation of origin’, supplemented by the qualifier ‘VELHO’ for cheeses whose ripening exceeds 120 days;— the certification mark bearing the name of the product, the name of the monitoring and certification body and a serial number rendering the product traceable.4.   Concise definition of the geographical areaThe geographical area is limited to the municipalities of Carregal do Sal, Celorico da Beira, Fornos de Algodres, Gouveia, Mangualde, Manteigas, Nelas, Oliveira do Hospital, Penalva do Castelo and Seia and to the parishes of Carapito, Cortiçada, Dornelas, Eirado, Forninhos, Penaverde and Valverde, to the municipality of Aguiar da Beira and the parishes of Anceriz, Barril do Alva, Cerdeira, Coja, Pomares and Vila Cova do Alva, to the municipality of Arganil and the parishes of Aldeia de Carvalho, Cortes do Meio, Erada, Paul, Sarzedo, Unhais da Serra and Verdelhos, to the municipality of Covilhã and the parishes of Aldeia Viçosa, Cavadoude, Corujeira, Fala, Famalicão, Fernão Joanes, Maçainhas de Baixo, Mizarela, Pero Soares, Porto da Carne, São Vicente, Sé Seixo Amarelo, Trinta, Vale de Estrelas, Valhelhas, Videmonte, Vila Cortez do Mondego and Vila Soeiro, to the municipality of Guarda and the parishes of Midões, Póvoa de Midões and Vila Nova de Oliveirinha, to the municipality of Tábua and the parishes of Canas de Santa Maria, Ferreirós do Dão, Lobão da Beira, Molelos, Mosteiro de Fráguas, Nandufe, Parada de Gonta, Sabugosa, São Miguel do Outeiro, Tonda and Tondela, to the municipality of Tondela and the parishes of Aldeia Nova, Carnicães, Feital, Fiães, Freches, Santa Maria, São Pedro, Tamanho, Torres, Vila Franca das Naves and Vilares, to the municipality of Trancoso and the parishes of Fragosela, Loureiro de Silgueiros, Povolide and São João de Lourosa and to the municipality of Viseu.5.   Link with the geographical area5.1.   Specificity of the geographical areaThe entire region is located on the Beira uplands, with agro-climactic conditions characterised by long, cold and rainy winters with occasional snow and hot, dry summers.On top of the tree cover mentioned previously, this region contains stretches of shrubs and herbs which make up the diet of the grazing animals. The herbs are mainly composed of brushwood [ericas, ulex (gorse bushes), cytisus (jennets) and genistas (wild jennets or genistas purgans)]. The natural pasture is made up of wild perennial grasses and the cultivated pasture is mainly composed of white clover and subterranean clover. As for the flowers, acidophilus species prevail and are mainly composed of grasses and leguminous plants which can withstand the cold, acidity and low soil fertility. The fodder crops most regularly used are essentially as follows: oats, rye, corn, fodder sorghum and marsh grass or yearly ray-grass.The region is home to two breeds used exclusively for producing this cheese: the ‘Bordaleira Serra da Estrela’ and the ‘Churra Mondegueira’. For centuries, animals have fully taken advantage of the rough pasture in this region.5.2.   Specificity of the productAs a result of the know-how of its producers, ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ is obtained exclusively from raw milk, using the cardoon flower as a natural rennet.‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ has distinctive characteristics due to the production conditions described above. It is commercialised as a flat regular cylinder with slightly bulging sides on its upper surface and no defined edge, with a smooth, semi-soft rind and a closed, slightly buttery texture which loses its shape on cutting. It is well-bound, creamy and smooth, sometimes containing a few white or sallow eyes. It has a smooth, clean and slightly acidic bouquet. These characteristics grow naturally stronger during the maturing process, leading to the production of ‘Queijo Serra da Estrela’ Velho, which can be described as follows: smooth to slightly rough rind, hard to extra hard consistency, closed texture or with a few eyes, body dry and slightly crumbly, smooth, dark yellow to orange getting darker from the outside towards the centre; pleasant, lingering, clean, strong to slightly strong and slightly spicy/salty bouquet.5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)The climate and soil conditions of the Serra da Estrela region have allowed agricultural and forestry activities to develop, one of the main ones being the rearing of sheep from the local ‘Bordaleira Serra da Estrela’ and ‘Churra Mondegueria’ breeds. The milk they produce is used to make the renowned cheeses and creamy cheeses (requeijäo) of Serra da Estrela, which have distinctive characteristics in terms of colour, fragrance, bouquet and texture.The region and the cheeses produced there were already mentioned in texts by Roman authors. The cheeses were also described as the food of choice on board ship during the Age of Discovery and were mentioned in sixteenth-century plays.Reference to publication of the specification[Article 5, paragraph 7, of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006]http://www.dgadr.pt/images/docs/val/dop_igp_etg/Valor/CE_QueijoSE_Versao_Comissao.pdf(1)  Replaced by Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs.

42976,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 1114/2013 of 7 November 2013 amending Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 as regards its period of application. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 108(4) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid (1),Having published a draft of this Regulation (2),After consulting the Advisory Committee on State Aid,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 (3) will expire on 31 December 2013.(2) In its Communication on EU State Aid Modernisation (4) of 8 May 2012 the Commission launched a wide review of State aid rules. In the context of that review, Regulation (EC) No 994/98 has already been amended by Council Regulation (EU) No 733/2013 (5). A number of other legislative instruments relevant for the assessment of State aid in the agricultural sector are still in the process of revision, in particular the future rules applicable to rural development, the new agricultural State aid guidelines, and the new general block exemption Regulation replacing Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/2008 (6). It will not be possible to finalise the adaptation of those instruments before Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 expires or they will not be fully applicable on 1 January 2014. In order to ensure a consistent approach across all State aid instruments, it is therefore appropriate to extend the period of application of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 until 30 June 2014.(3) Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(4) It is important to ensure continuity in implementing the rural development policy and a smooth passage from one programming period to the following. A period of overlapping application of rural development programmes and the corresponding legal provisions of the 2007-13 programming period and those of the programming period following it is inevitable. In this context, the Member States may, under certain conditions, continue to make commitments under Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (7) after the end of the programming period 2007-13 until 31 December 2015. Consequently, it is appropriate to clarify for the purposes of legal certainty that, where Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 refers to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, those criteria should continue to be applicable for the assessment of State aid under Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 during its extended period of application even after the entry into force of a new Regulation replacing Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.(5) In the light of the extension of the period of application of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, some Member States may wish to prolong measures on which summary information has been provided in accordance with Article 20 of that Regulation. In order to reduce the administrative burden, it is appropriate to lay down that summary information regarding the prolongation of those measures is to be deemed to have been communicated to the Commission, provided that no substantive amendment is made to the measures concerned.(6) This Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union in order to allow for the extension of the period of application of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 before it expires,. In Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:‘It shall apply from 1 January 2007 until 30 June 2014’. Where, as a consequence of the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, a Member State wishes to prolong measures in respect of which summary information was submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article 20 of that Regulation, summary information regarding the prolongation of those measures shall be deemed to have been communicated to the Commission, provided that no substantive amendment is made to the measures concerned. Where Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 refers to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, those criteria shall continue to be applicable for the assessment of State aid under Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 during its extended period of application even after the entry into force of a new Regulation replacing Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005. 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..

36021,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 875/2008 of 8 September 2008 repealing Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, and in particular Article 37 thereof,Whereas:(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 (1), the Commission imposed safeguard measures in respect to Bulgaria in the area of civil aviation pursuant to Article 37 of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria in order to address a serious breach of the functioning of the internal market for air transport, resulting from a failure to implement commitments undertaken by Bulgaria in the context of accession negotiations with regard to Community policy in the area of aviation safety concerning economic activities with cross border effects.(2) Following the imposition of the safeguard measures provided by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006, the competent authority for civil aviation of Bulgaria (hereinafter referred to as the Bulgarian CAA) proposed to and agreed with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) a plan of corrective measures designed to remedy the safety shortcomings identified during previous visits by EASA and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA).(3) The Commission requested on 6 September 2007 EASA to verify regulatory compliance of the Bulgarian Aviation Authorities in all aspects of safety affected by the safeguard measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006, i.e. to verify the implementation of the agreed corrective action plan and the capacity of the Bulgarian CAA to implement the rules and ensure that they are properly respected as part of its oversight obligations.(4) This inspection visit was carried out by EASA from 26 to 30 November 2007 in application of Articles 24(1) and (5) and 54 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (2) and in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 736/2006 of 16 May 2006 on working methods of the European Aviation Safety Agency for conducting standardisation inspections (3). Following this visit, EASA issued its report on 15 February 2008 (4).(5) In its report of the standardisation visit EASA noted a definitive improvement: all required Part M, Part 145, Part 147 approvals and all Part 66 licences have been issued. Also the Air Operator Certificates except for one have been issued according to European requirements. Hence, EASA was able to close 44 out of 45 findings in the area of airworthiness while it raised 12 new findings concerning processes of continuous oversight.(6) In its report, EASA also stated that since the previous inspection visit in November 2006, the Bulgarian CAA had taken drastic measures with regard to the airworthiness of all aircraft registered in Bulgaria.(7) Thus, the number of aircraft on the Bulgarian register had been reduced by nearly half due to the removal from the register of aircraft of former Soviet design falling under Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. Also, the Bulgarian CAA has taken actions to limit or revoke non-complying approvals and certificates. The number of inspectors for continued airworthiness has increased from eight to 12 (with, in addition, three new support staff). Furthermore, there has been a significant improvement in record keeping by the Bulgarian CAA over the last year, making the demonstration of the level of oversight clear to the inspectors of EASA. It was also noted that the Bulgarian CAA has put much effort into developing an Inspectors' Handbook covering the relevant requirements with associated check lists to be used by applicants for initial approvals or variation to existing approvals. Lastly, it was documented that comprehensive training has been carried out for both existing and new CAA staff, although certain areas such as approval of maintenance and reliability programmes, Reduced Visibility RVSM programmes were not particularly addressed.(8) At the same time, EASA concluded that further enhancements mainly in the area of airworthiness certification and continuous oversight were, however, still required to resolve the lack of assessment by the Bulgarian CAA of the effectiveness of the quality system common to operations, maintenance and flight crew licensing. In particular in this area, EASA raised one finding of non-compliance pursuant to Article 13(d) of Regulation (EC) No 736/2006 evidencing significant standardisation concerns of non-compliance in the area concerned and raising safety concerns if not promptly corrected. In parallel certain non-compliances observed in the undertakings visited during this visit to verify the effectiveness of the oversight exercised by the Bulgarian CAA, confirmed the necessity for these authorities to propose corrective actions for another 10 findings pursuant to Article 13(c) to resolve these matters within 14 days.(9) The Bulgarian CAA reacted timely and submitted corrective actions to EASA which were implemented with the agreement of EASA. In order to verify the effectiveness of implementation of these actions, EASA carried out a follow-up visit on 8 and 9 April 2008 and issued a statement of closure of findings pursuant to Article 12(b) of Regulation (EC) No 736/2006 on 24 April 2008. The statements presented therein were further amended in a final version drawn up by EASA on 21 May, which was transmitted to the Commission on 26 May 2008.(10) On 15 May 2008, Bulgaria formally requested the Commission to review and remove the safeguard measures pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 motivating its request by referring to the statement of closure of findings issued earlier by EASA.(11) Pursuant to Article 37 of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria to the European Union, the safeguard measures shall be maintained no longer than strictly necessary and, in any case, shall be lifted when the relevant commitment is implemented. Bulgaria's successful implementation of the agreed corrective actions is considered sufficient to guarantee the capacity of the Bulgarian CAA to ensure compliance with Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and its implementing regulations.(12) The Commission considers therefore, that the commitment of Bulgaria to fully apply the Community rules in the area of air transport is fulfilled and that the safeguard measures imposed by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 should be lifted.(13) Pursuant to Article 37 of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria to the European Union, the Commission shall inform the Council in good time before revoking the European regulations and decisions establishing the safeguard measures, and it shall take duly into account any observations of the Council in this respect. Accordingly, the Commission informed the Council on 22 July 2008.(14) The Council agreed on the proposed measures on 24 July 2008, without observations,. Regulation (EC) No 1962/2006 is repealed.

3424,"Commission Directive 2003/126/EC of 23 December 2003 on the analytical method for the determination of constituents of animal origin for the official control of feedingstuffs (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 70/373/EEC of 20 July 1970 on the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs(1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Directive 70/373/EEC, official controls of feedingstuffs, for the purpose of checking compliance with the requirements of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions governing their quality and composition, are to be carried out using Community sampling and analysis methods.(2) Provisions on the labelling of feedingstuffs and requirements prohibiting the use of certain types of animal proteins in feedingstuffs for certain categories of animals imply the need to provide for reliable analytical methods to establish their presence and, if appropriate, their percentage.(3) The method described in Commission Directive 98/88/EC of 13 November 1998 establishing guidelines for the microscopic identification and estimation of constituents of animal origin for the official control of feedingstuffs(2) is currently the only method validated to control the presence of animal proteins including these proteins treated at 133 °C/3 Bar/20', in feedingstuffs.(4) An intercomparison study for the determination of processed animal proteins recently demonstrated that the variation in the application of the microscopic tests laid down in Directive 98/88/EC resulted in significant differences in the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the method. In order to harmonise and improve determination of processed animal proteins the provisions concerning the microscopic method should be further specified and made mandatory. It is necessary to ensure that analysts performing the method are adequately trained since the performance depends on the skills of the analyst.(5) Directive 98/88/EC should therefore be replaced.(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Member States shall provide that where official analysis of feedingstuffs is carried out with a view to officially controlling the presence, identification and/or estimation of the amount of constituents of animal origin in feedingstuffs, in the framework of the coordinated inspection programme in the field of animal nutrition in accordance with Council Directive 95/53/EC(3), it shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall ensure that laboratories carrying out official controls on the presence of animal constituents in feedingstuffs participate periodically in proficiency testing on the analytical methods, and that laboratory personnel carrying out analyses receive adequate training. Directive 98/88/EC is repealed.References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive. 1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 July 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Directive as last amended by Directive 2001/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 234, 1.9.2001, p. 55).ANNEXConditions for the microscopic detection, identification or estimation of constituents of animal origin in feedingstuffs1. Objective and field of applicationThese conditions shall be used when detection of constituents of animal origin (defined as products from processing bodies and body parts of mammals, poultry and fish) in feedingstuffs is carried out by means of microscopic examination in the framework of the coordinated inspection programme in the field of animal nutrition in accordance with Council Directive 95/53/EC. Provided that the methods in this Annex are used in all official tests, a second test may also be carried out using variant or alternative methods, in order to improve the detection of certain types of animal constituents or to specify further the origin of the animal constituents. Furthermore, a variant protocol may be used when examining certain specific animal constituents such as plasma or bones in tallow (see also point 9), provided that these analyses are made in addition to the analyses foreseen in the coordinated inspection programme.2. SensitivityDependent on the nature of the constituents of animal origin, very small amounts (&lt;  0,1 %) in feedingstuffs can be detected.3. PrincipleA representative sample, taken in accordance with the provisions laid down in Commission Directive 76/371/EEC of 1 March 1976 establishing Community methods of sampling for the official control of feedingstuffs(1) which has undergone suitable preparation is used for the identification. The following protocol is fit for handling feed with low moisture content. Feed with an amount of moisture higher than 14 % shall be dried (condensed) prior to handling. Special feed or feed materials (e.g. fats, oils) need dedicated treatment (see point 9). The constituents of animal origin are identified on the basis of typical, microscopically identifiable characteristics (i.e. muscle fibres and other meat particles, cartilage, bones, horn, hair, bristles, blood, feathers, egg shells, fish bones, scales). The identification has to be done both on the sieve fraction (6.1) and the concentrated sediment (6.2) of the sample.4. Reagents4.1. Embedding agent4.1.1. Chloral hydrate (aqueous, 60 % w/v)4.1.2.

Standard laboratory glasswareAll equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned. Separation funnels and glassware need washing in a washing machine. Sieves need cleaning using a brush with stiff hairs.6. ProcedurePelleted feeds may be pre-sieved if both fractions are analysed as a separate sample.At least 50 g of the sample shall be treated (ground with care using the suitable grinding equipment (5.2) if necessary in order to achieve an appropriate structure). From the ground material two representative portions shall be taken, one for the sieve fraction (at least 5 g) (6.1) and one for the concentrated sediment (at least 5 g) (6.2). Colouring with staining reagents (6.3) can additionally be applied for the identification.In order to indicate the nature of the animal proteins and the origin of the particles, a decision support system such as Aries can be used and reference samples can be documented.6.1. Identification of constituents of animal origin in the sieve fractionsAt least 5 g of the sample is sieved through the sieve (5.3) in two fractions.The sieve fraction(s) with the large particles (or a representative part of the fraction) is applied as a thin layer to a suitable support and screened systematically under the stereomicroscope (5.5) at various magnifications for constituents of animal origin.Slides made with the sieve fraction(s) with the fine particles are screened systematically under the compound microscope (5.6) at various magnifications for constituents of animal origin.6.2. Identification of constituents of animal origin from the concentrated sedimentAt least 5 g (accurate to 0,01 g) of the sample shall be transferred into a separation funnel or conical bottomed settling beaker and treated with at least 50 ml of tetrachloroethylene (4.3.1). The mixture shall be shaken or stirred repeatedly.- If a closed separation funnel is used the sediment shall be left to stand for a sufficient time (at least three minutes) before the sediment is separated off. Shaking shall be repeated and the sediment shall be left to stand again at least three minutes. The sediment shall be separated off again.- If an open beaker is used, the sediment shall be left to stand for at least five minutes before the sediment is separated off.The total sediment shall be dried and subsequently weighed (accurate to 0,001 g). The weighing is only necessary in case an estimation is required. If the sediment consists of many large particles it may be sieved through a sieve (5.3) in two fractions. The dried sediment shall be examined for bone constituents under the stereomicroscope (5.5) and the compound microscope (5.6).6.3. Use of embedding agents and staining reagentsThe microscopic identification of the constituents of animal origin can be supported by the use of special embedding agents and staining reagents.>TABLE>6.4. Examination in feed possibly containing fishmealAt least one slide shall be examined from the fine sieve fraction and from the fine fraction of the sediment under the compound microscope (see sections 6.1 and 6.2).Where the label indicates that the ingredients include fishmeal, or if the presence of fishmeal is suspected or detected in the initial examination, at least two additional slides of the fine sieve fraction from the original sample, and the total sediment fraction shall be examined.7. Calculation and evaluationMember States shall ensure that the procedures described in this point are used where an official analysis is carried out with a view to estimating the amount (and not simply the presence) of animal constituents.The calculation can only be made if the constituents of animal origin contain bone fragments.Bone fragments of terrestrial warm-blooded species (i.e. mammals and birds) can be distinguished from the different types of fish bone on the microscopic slide by means of the typical lacunae. The proportion of constituents of animal origin in the sample material is estimated taking into consideration:- the estimated proportion (weight %) of bone fragments in the concentrated sediment and- the proportion (weight %) of bone in the constituents of animal origin.The estimate has to be based on at least three (if possible) slides and at least five fields per slide. In compound feedingstuffs, the concentrated sediment as a rule contains not only terrestrial animal bone and fish bone fragments, but also other particles of high specific weight, e.g. minerals, sand, lignified plant fragments and the like.7.1. Estimated value of the percentage of bone fragments% terrestrial bone fragments = (S × c)/W% fish bone and scale fragments = (S × d)/W(S = sediment weight (mg), c = correction factor (%) for the estimated portion of terrestrial animal bones in the sediment, d = correction factor (%) for the estimated portion of fish bones and scale fragments in the sediment, W = weight of the sample material for the sedimentation (mg)).7.2. Estimated value of constituents of animal originThe proportion of bone in animal products can vary greatly. (The percentage of bone in the case of bonemeals is of the order of 50 to 60 % and in the case of meat meals of the order of 20 to 30 %; in the case of fish meals bone and scale contents vary according to the category and origin of the fishmeal, normally in the order of 10 to 20 %).If the type of animal meal present in the sample is known, it is possible to estimate the content:Estimated content of constituents of terrestrial animal products (%) = (S × c)/(W × f) × 100Estimated content of constituents of fish products (%) = (S × d)/(W × f) × 100(S = sediment weight (mg), c = correction factor (%) for the estimated portion of terrestrial animal bone constituents in the sediment, d = correction factor (%) for the estimated portion of fish bones and scale fragments in the sediment, f = correction factor for the proportion of bone in the constituents of animal origin in the sample examined, W = weight of the sample material for the sedimentation (mg)).8. Expression of the result of the examinationThe report shall at least contain information on the presence of constituents derived from terrestrial animals and from fishmeal. The different cases shall be reported in the following way:8.1. With regard to the presence of constituents derived from terrestrial animals:- As far as was discernible using a microscope, no constituents derived from terrestrial animals were found in the submitted sample,or:- As far as was discernible using a microscope, constituents derived from terrestrial animals were found in the submitted sample.8.2. With regard to the presence of fishmeal:- As far as was discernible using a microscope, no constituents derived from fish were found in the submitted sample,or:- As far as was discernible using a microscope, constituents derived from fish were found in the submitted sample.In case constituents derived from fish or terrestrial animals are found, the report of the examination result, if required, can further indicate an estimation of the amount of constituents detected (x %, &lt;  0,1 %, 0,1-0,5 %, 0,5-5 % or  &gt; 5 %), further specification of the type of terrestrial animal if possible and the animal constituents identified (muscle fibres, cartilage, bones, horn, hair, bristles, feathers, blood, egg shells, fish bones, scales).For the case where the amount of animal ingredients is estimated the correction factor f used shall be mentioned.For the cases where bone constituents from terrestrial animals are identified, the report shall contain the additional clause:""The possibility that the above constituents are derived from mammals cannot be excluded.""This additional clause is not necessary in cases where the bone fragments from terrestrial animals have been specified as bone fragments from poultry or mammals.9. Optional protocol for analysing fat or oilThe following protocol may be used for the analysis of fat or oil:- If the fat is solid, it is warmed for example in a microwave oven until it is liquid.- Using a pipette, 40 ml of fat is transferred from the bottom of the sample to a centrifugation tube.- Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 4000 rpm.- If the fat is solid after centrifugation, it is warmed once more in an oven until it is liquid. Repeat the centrifugation for five minutes at 4000 rpm.- Using a small spoon or a spatula, one half of the decanted impurities is transferred to a small petri dish or a microscopic slide for microscopic identification of a possible content of animal constituents (meat fibres, feathers, bone fragments). As an embedding agent for microscopy, paraffin oil or glycerol is recommended.- The remaining impurities are used for sedimentation as described in point 6.2.(1) OJ L 102, 15.4.1976, p. 1.

5665,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 144/2013 of 19 February 2013 amending Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 as regards certain oenological practices and the applicable restrictions and Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 as regards the registering of these practices in the documents accompanying consignments of wine products and the wine sector registers to be kept. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular the third and fourth paragraphs of Article 121, Article 185a, Article 185c(3) and Article 192, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 of 10 July 2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions (2), authorised oenological practices are laid down in Annex I to that Regulation. The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) has amended the conditions of use of certain oenological practices already authorised in the European Union. In order to provide EU producers with the same possibilities as those available to third-country producers, the conditions of use of these oenological practices should be amended in the EU on the basis of the conditions of use defined by the OIV.(2) The OIV has adopted new oenological practices. In order to provide EU producers with the new possibilities available to third-country producers, these new oenological practices should be authorised in the EU under the conditions of use defined by the OIV.(3) Appendix 10 to Annex I A to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 contains requirements for the partial dealcoholisation of wine. The concept of partial dealcoholisation of wine has been replaced at the OIV by that of the correction of the alcohol content of wine. The text of the Appendix should therefore be amended. The Appendix also stipulates that Member States may provide that the partial dealcoholisation of wine be subject to notification to the competent authorities. In order to ensure efficient controls it should be specified that this is an advance notification before the implementation in practice of the dealcoholisation treatment.(4) Wines from Italy of the type ‘aleatico’ which have the right to the protected designation of origin ‘Pergola’ and to the traditional expression ‘passito’, and wines from Hungary with a protected designation of origin or protected geographical indication and having the right to the expression ‘jégbor’ have a very high sugar content and are produced in small quantities. In order to ensure the preservation of these wines, Italy and Hungary have requested a derogation from the maximum limit on sulphur dioxide content. Maximum limits on sulphur dioxide content of 350 mg/l for the Italian wines and 400 mg/l for the Hungarian wines should be authorised.(5) Carbon dioxide not originating from alcoholic fermentation of the cuvée may be present in sparkling wines as a result of gaseous exchanges taking place when carbon dioxide is used for transfer by counter-pressure. These gaseous exchanges do not increase the carbon dioxide pressure and therefore should not lead to the conclusion that these products have been aerated. It should be clarified that only gaseous exchanges with carbon dioxide from alcoholic fermentation of the cuvée which are inevitable as a result of transfer by counter-pressure must be accepted.(6) In accordance with Article 120g of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 provides for certain methods of analysis enabling the establishment of the composition of products in the wine sector and rules enabling it to be established whether these products have been subject to treatment in breach of authorised oenological practices, in the absence of methods or rules recommended and published by the OIV. The OIV has adopted certain specific methods to analyse grape sugar (rectified concentrated grape must). The corresponding methods currently included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 should be deleted.(7) Certain oenological practices are particularly exposed to the risk of fraudulent use and must be indicated in the registers and accompanying documents in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 of 26 May 2009 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the vineyard register, compulsory declarations and the gathering of information to monitor the wine market, the documents accompanying consignments of wine products and the wine sector registers to be kept (3). Requirements relating to practices such as correcting the alcohol content of wines, acidification treatment by cation exchanger and electro-membrane treatment specify that these practices should be entered in the registers referred to above. The rules regarding the registration provided for in Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 should be amended to take into account the amendments made to Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 by this Regulation.(8) Regulations (EC) No 606/2009 and (EC) No 436/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee established by Article 195(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 606/2009Regulation (EC) No 606/2009 is amended as follows:(1) Annex I A is amended in accordance with the text in Annex I to this Regulation;(2) Annex I B is amended in accordance with the text in Annex II to this Regulation;(3) Annex II is amended in accordance with the text in Annex III to this Regulation;(4) Annex IV is amended in accordance with the text in Annex IV to this Regulation. Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 436/2009Regulation (EC) No 436/2009 is amended as follows:(1) Article 41(1) is amended as follows:(a) point (p) is replaced by the following:‘(p) treatment by electrodialysis or by cation exchanger to ensure the tartaric stabilisation of the wine or acidification by cation exchanger treatment;’;(b) point (s) is replaced by the following:‘(s) correction of the alcohol content of wine;’;(c) the following point (v) is added:‘(v) acidification or deacidification by electro-membrane treatment.’;(2) Annex VI is amended in accordance with the text shown in Annex V to this Regulation.

Furthermore, certain establishments have ceased their activities.(3) A limited number of establishments have made considerable efforts to comply with structural requirements laid down by Community legislation. However these establishments are not in a position to finish their upgrading process by the prescribed deadline due to exceptional technical constraints. Therefore it is justified to allow them further time to complete the upgrading process.(4) The Annex to Decision 2004/459/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

The plan lays down in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.(2) Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 requires a revision of the annual plan when changes occurring during its implementation by the Member States concern 5 % or more of the quantities or values entered per product in the Community plan.(3) The under-utilisation of butter notified to the Commission concerns more than 5 % of the value of the total butter quantity in the annual plan 2007. Furthermore, certain cereals and sugar quantities are no longer required for the 2007 plan.(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the newly available resources should be allocated to other Member States on the basis of their applications.(5) During the withdrawal operations of rice held in Greek intervention, it was discovered that the available quantities were not sufficient to allow for the full implementation of the annual plan in Greece. It is therefore necessary to adapt the allocation of intervention products or grants for the purchase on the market of products temporarily unavailable in intervention stocks.(6) The first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 set the deadlines for withdrawal of the products from intervention stocks. As the modification of the plan allocates to Poland supplementary quantities of 203 tonnes of cereals and 3 224 tonnes of sugar and to Slovenia a supplementary quantity of 1 000 tonnes of cereals to be withdrawn from intervention stocks, it is appropriate to derogate from those deadlines as regards those quantities.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for cereals,. The annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the deadlines provided for in the first subparagraph and in the first and in the fourth sentences of the second subparagraph of that Article shall not apply for the supplementary quantities of 1 203 tonnes of cereals and 3 224 tonnes of sugar allocated pursuant to the Annex to this Regulation.

15629,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1489/96 of 23 July 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of synthetic fibres of polyesters originating in India and the Republic of Korea. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 7,2 % on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, commonly referred to as polyester synthetic fibres, currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00 and originating in India, with the exception of imports from five Indian exporters specifically mentioned which were either subject to a lesser rate of duty or no duty at all.B. PROCEDURE(2) The Commission received on application for a review of the measures currently in force from the Indian company Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd (hereinafter 'Bongaigaon` or 'the company`). Bongaigaon claimed that it was not related to any of the exporters or producers in India which are subject to the anti-dumping measures on the product, and that it had not exported the product during the period of investigation on which the measures are based. Furthermore, the company claimed that it had actually exported the product concerned to the Community and that it had also entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities to the Community.(3) Bongaigaon provided, on request, evidence which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`). By Regulation (EC) No 2566/95 (3), the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee, initiated a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to Bongaigaon and commenced its investigation.By Regulation (EC) No 2566/95, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to imports of the product concerned produced and exported to the Community by Bongaigaon and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.(4) The product concerned in this review is the same as the one under consideration in Regulation (EEC) No 54/93.(5) The Commission officially advised Bongaigaon and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing but did not receive any reaction in this respect.The Commission sent a questionnaire to Bongaigaon and received a proper and timely reply. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purposes of the procedure and carried out a verification visit at the premises of Bongaigaon, India.(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995.(7) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied where circumstances had not changed.C. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1. New exporter qualification(8) The investigation confirmed that Bongaigaon had not exported the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the measures subject to review are based, i.e. from 1 January 1990 to 31 August 1990. Exports of the product concerned to the Community started, in fact, only during the company's financial year 1993/1994.In addition, it was found that Bongaigaon had no links, either direct or indirect, with the exporters involved in the previous procedure.Accordingly, it is confirmed that the company should be considered as a new exporter in the sense of Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation and that its individual dumping margin should be determined.2. Dumping(i) Normal value(9) Although the company's total domestic sales of the like product constituted more than 5 % of the volume of export sales to the Community, it was found that for the product type sold to the Community the domestic sales volume for the corresponding type was below this threshold and the prices could not be considered representative for the market concerned.As the company has produced and sold on the domestic market, in the ordinary course of trade, other types of the like product than the one exported to the Community, normal value was constructed in accordance with Article 2 (3) and the first sentence of Article 2 (6) of the Basic Regulation. Consequently, normal value was calculated on the basis of all costs of production incurred by Bongaigaon when producing the product type in question plus a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses and profits, both established on the basis of the company's domestic sales of all types of the like product in the ordinary course of trade.(ii) Export price(10) Export sales of the product concerned were made directly to unrelated importers in the Community. Export prices were therefore determined on the basis of the prices actually paid by these unrelated importers, in accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation.(iii) Comparison(11) For the purpose of a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken of differences affecting price comparability as provided for in Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation, namely import charges and indirect taxes, discounts, transport and insurance expenses, commission and credit costs. The comparison was made at an ex-works level.(12) Bongaigaon requested that adjustments should be made for the following benefits received for its export performance but not granted in respect of its domestic sales:- reduction of corporate tax due to export sales based on the Indian Income Tax Act,- benefit for an export house,- market development assistance following the Federation of Indian Export Organizations Scheme.The claim was rejected as Bongaigaon could not demonstrate that these benefits, which accrued to the company only after the investigation period and which resulted in a reduction of its selling, general and administrative expenses, had any direct and measurable effect on prices and price comparability in the sense of Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation.(iv) Dumping margin(13) The comparison showed the existence of dumping with respect to the synthetic fibres of polyesters exported by Bongaigaon. The dumping margin, being equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeded the price for export to the Community, was established on the basis of a comparison of the constructed normal value as defined in recital 9 with the weighted average of prices for all export transactions of the product concerned to the Community during the period mentioned in recital 6. Expressed as a percentage of the free-at-Community-frontier price, the dumping margin amounted to 17,5 %.3. Injury(14) No request for a review of the findings on injury was made and there is no reason to doubt that the level of injury found in the original investigation has not decreased.D. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED(15) In accordance with Article 9 (4) of the Basic Regulation, the amount of the anti-dumping duty should not exceed the dumping margin established and should be less if a lesser duty would be adequate to remove the injury to the Community industry.(16) In the present case, the dumping margin established exceeds the injury margin. The latter was calculated by applying the same methodology as in the original investigation. This methodology is described in detail in recitals 50 to 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 1956/92 (4). The injury margin found amounted to 13 %. The anti-dumping duty to be imposed should therefore correspond to the injury margin established and Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 should be amended accordingly.E. RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY(17) As the review has resulted in a determination of dumping in respect of Bongaigaon, the anti-dumping duty applicable to this company shall also be levied retroactively up to the date of the initiation of the review against imports which, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2566/95, have been subject to registration.F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF MEASURES(18) Bongaigaon was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose the amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 and were given an opportunity to comment. The Commission also officially advised the complainants mentioned in the initial investigation.Bongaigaon made their views known in writing. They requested that the rate of profit should not be based on the domestic sales of all types of the like product made in the ordinary course of trade. They also repeated their claim for adjustments concerning:- the reduction of corporate tax due to export sales based on the Indian Income Tax Act, and- benefit for an export house.These requests had to be rejected for the reasons set out in recitals 9 and 12.(19) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 will expire pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,. Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 is hereby amended as follows: under (a) the following shall be added at the end of the text:'Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd13 % (Taric additional code 8873);`. The anti-dumping duty shall also be levied retroactively up to the date of the initiation of the review against those imports which, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2566/95, have been subject to registration.

37828,"2010/220/: Commission Decision of 16 April 2010 on emergency measures applicable to consignments of farmed fishery products imported from Indonesia and intended for human consumption (notified under document C(2010) 2358) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,Whereas:(1) The results of a Commission inspection to Indonesia in November 2009 have revealed shortcomings as regards the residue control system in aquaculture animals and farmed fishery products and a lack of appropriate laboratory facilities capacity for detecting residues of certain pharmacologically active substances in aquaculture animals and farmed fishery products as required by Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (2) and Commission Decision 2002/657/EC of 14 August 2002 implementing Council Directive 96/23/EC concerning the performance of analytical methods and the interpretation of results (3).(2) As a result there is a risk that farmed fishery products intended for human consumption imported from Indonesia contain residues of certain pharmacologically active substances used to combat diseases or to enhance production in aquaculture animals that are harmful to human health. These substances are in particular: chloramphenicol, nitrofurans, and tetracyclines. Measures should therefore be taken to mitigate that risk. The measures should be proportional and not restrict trade more than necessary in order to achieve a high level of consumer protection.(3) If a significant portion of the aquaculture products imported from Indonesia undergoes mandatory testing for relevant residues before they are placed on the market, this will reduce the risk that consignments containing residues are placed on the market, produce more precise information on the actual contamination of Indonesian fishery products with residues and will deter producers in Indonesia misuse of substances.(4) It is necessary to set uniform testing requirements for the importation of the consignments of farmed fishery products from Indonesia at a defined minimum level because the products may be imported via several Member States.(5) Member States are requested to report to the Commission the detection of the presence of pharmacologically active substances not authorised for use in food producing animals by Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) or residues of pharmacologically active substances of a levels that exceeds the maximum residue limits established according to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 via Rapid Alert System set up by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and regularly submit reports of all tests to provide the Commission with the necessary information to consider whether it is necessary to maintain or modify this interim measure in the light of the information provided.(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,. This Decision shall apply to the importation of consignments of farmed fishery products from Indonesia intended for human consumption. 1.   Member States shall, by using appropriate sampling plans, ensure that samples are taken from at least 20 % of the consignments referred to in Article 1 presented for import at Border Inspection Posts on their territory.2.   The samples taken pursuant to paragraph 1 shall undergo analytical tests for the detection of residues of pharmacologically active substances defined in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, and in particular of chloramphenicol, metabolites of nitrofurans and tetracyclines (at least tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline). The consignments from which samples have been taken pursuant to Article 2(1) shall be kept under official detention by the competent authority of the Member State concerned, until analytical tests have been completed. Those consignments may be placed on the market only if the results of the analytical tests confirm the compliance of the consignments with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009. 1.   Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the results of the analytical tests if those tests reveal:(a) the presence of any pharmacologically active substances classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 at a levels exceeding the maximum residue limit established pursuant to that Regulation; or(b) the presence of pharmacologically active substances not classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 except where a reference point for action has been set for that substance pursuant to this Regulation or Commission Decision 2002/657/EC of 12 August 2002 implementing Council Directive 96/23/EC concerning the performance of analytical methods and the interpretation of results (5) and the level of residues does not equal or exceed that reference point for action.The results of those tests shall be sent to the Commission via the rapid alert system set up by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.2.   Member States shall prepare every three months a report giving account of all the results of all analytical tests carried out in the previous three months on consignments of farmed fishery products from Indonesia intended for human consumption.Those reports shall be submitted to the Commission during the month following each period, in April, July, October, and January. All expenditure incurred in the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignor, the consignee or the agent of either. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

Paragraph 92 is included for reference only.Actuarial assumptions: salaries, benefits and medical costs…92 Some defined benefit plans require employees or third parties to contribute to the cost of the plan. Contributions by employees reduce the cost of the benefits to the entity. An entity considers whether third-party contributions reduce the cost of the benefits to the entity, or are a reimbursement right as described in paragraph 116. Contributions by employees or third parties are either set out in the formal terms of the plan (or arise from a constructive obligation that goes beyond those terms), or are discretionary. Discretionary contributions by employees or third parties reduce service cost upon payment of these contributions to the plan.93 Contributions from employees or third parties set out in the formal terms of the plan either reduce service cost (if they are linked to service), or affect remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) (if they are not linked to service). An example of contributions that are not linked to service is when (the contributions are required to reduce a deficit arising from losses on plan assets or from actuarial losses). If contributions from employees or third parties are linked to service, those contributions reduce the service cost as follows:(a) if the amount of the contributions is dependent on the number of years of service, an entity shall attribute the contributions to periods of service using the same attribution method required by paragraph 70 for the gross benefit (ie either using the plan's contribution formula or on a straight-line basis); or(b) if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, the entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered. Examples of contributions that are independent of the number of years of service include those that are a fixed percentage of the employee's salary, a fixed amount throughout the service period or dependent on the employee's age.94 For contributions from employees or third parties that are attributed to periods of service in accordance with paragraph 93(a), changes in the contributions result in:(a) current and past service cost (if those changes are not set out in the formal terms of a plan and do not arise from a constructive obligation); or(b) actuarial gains and losses (if those changes are set out in the formal terms of a plan, or arise from a constructive obligation).TRANSITION AND EFFECTIVE DATE…175 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments to IAS 19), issued in November 2013, amended paragraphs 93–94.

327,"83/320/EEC: Commission Decision of 8 February 1983 by virtue of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty in relation to a proposal for aids in the textile and clothing industry (undertakings 34 and 57) (Only the French and Dutch texts are authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments as provided for in Article 93, and having regard to those comments,IWhereas by its letter dated 14 May 1982 the Belgian Government notified the Commission of its intention to grant aid to two undertakings: one involved in combed wool spinning, the other producing carpets and floor coverings.Whereas the undertaking involved in combed wool spinning, which employs 109 persons, intends to use the aid to increase its production by 15 % within two years, of which 98,3 % is destined for the EEC market.Whereas the aid for this enterprise would amount to Bfrs 8 750 000, two-thirds of which would be used for replacement of machinery.Whereas the undertaking producing carpets and floor coverings, which employs 246 persons, intends to use the aid to increase its production by 5,4 % within two years, of which 83,44 % is destined for the EEC market.Whereas the aid for this undertaking would amount to Bfrs 8 180 000 and would be used for replacement of machinery, improvement of production control processes and changes in raw material.Whereas the Commission initiated on 12 August 1982 the procedure provided for in the first sentence of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the aids in question on the ground that such aids will affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest and that they will therefore be incompatible with the common market.Whereas the Commission also considered that the two aids were not in conformity with the conditions laid down in the sectoral aid scheme in favour of the textile and clothing industry approved by the Commission on 18 November 1981 and in force in Belgium since 1 January 1982.IIWhereas the Belgian Government, in submitting its comments ander the procedure provided for by Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty, confirmed the information of which the Commission was already aware and has not provided new facts justifying a change in the Commission's position. Whereas the comments of two Member States other than Belgium and two federations of firms in the sectors, submitted to the Commission under the procedure of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty, shared the Commission's opinion and underlined the problems of over-capacity which the subsector of combed wool spinning is facing and stressed the sensitivity of the subsector of carpet production because of the volume of trade and the degree of competition between Member States. The comments also underlined that the proposed aids would transfer the problems from the undertaking in question to its competitors.IIIWhereas the aids proposed by the Belgian Governments are likely to affect trade between Member States and distort competition by favouring the undertakings in question or the production of their goods within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty.Whereas the terms of the Treaty provide that aids fulfilling the criteria set out in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty shall be incompatible with the common market. The exemptions from this incompatibility set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty specify objectives to be pursued in the Community interest and not that of the individual recipient. These exemptions must be strictly construed in the examination both of regional or sectoral aid schemes and of individual cases of application of general aid systems. In particular, they may be granted only when the Commission can establish that this will contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the exemptions, which the recipient firms could not attain by their own actions under normal market conditions alone.Whereas to grant an exemption where there is no compensatory justification would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any resulting benefit in terms of the interest of the Community, while at the same time accepting that undue advantages should accrue to certain Member States.Whereas, when applying the principles set out above in its examination of individual cases, the Commission must be satisfied that there exists on the part of the particular recipient a specific compensatory justification in that the grant of aid is required to promote the attainment of one of the objectives set out in Article 92 (3). Where such evidence cannot be provided and, especially where the aided investment would at all events take place unmodified, it is clear that the aid does not contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the exemptions but serves to increase the financial strength of the undertaking in question.Whereas, in the cases in question, there does not appear to be such a compensatory justification on the part of the undertakings benefiting from the aid.Whereas on 18 November 1981 the Commission decided to raise no objection to the implementation of a sectoral aid scheme in favour of the textile and clothing industry in Belgium. Once the sectoral aid scheme was put into operation, undertakings in that sector in Belgium could benefit from no other specific, regional or general aid.Whereas an aid granted to an individual undertaking within the context of this sectoral aid scheme could benefit from the derogation of Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty only if all the conditions of the sectoral aid scheme as accepted by the Commission were satisfied. Of particular importance for the cases in question are the requirements to undertake significant efforts to restructure in order once again to become viable and the requirements as to capacity and production changes under the aid.Whereas the larger part of the aids would be used to cover the costs of replacing out-of-date machinery. Such a use does not provide adequate justification for the restructuring plans of the two enterprises to be considered compatible with the sectoral aid scheme in operation in Belgium, especially when the subsector of combed wool spinning, in the case of one undertaking, is facing severe over-capacity problems at Community level and when in the subsector of carpets and floor coverings the Belgian industry is already highly competitive as is the case of the other undertaking in question.Whereas by using the aid neither of the two undertakings will reduce its capacity; they will in fact increase production by 15 and 5,4 % respectively. As practically the entirety of the production of the first undertaking, involved in combed wool spinning, a subsector facing severe over-capacity problems in the Community, is destined for the Community market (81,2 % going to other Member States and 17,1 % to Belgium) it is evident that the aid in question will worsen the sectoral problems already existing at Community level while at the same time provoking their transfer from one Member State to the others. As in the case of the second undertaking involved in the production of carpets and floor coverings, a subsector in which Belgium is highly competitive at Community level, a very large part of the production of the undertaking, which is to be increased by using the aid, is destined for the Community market (68,11 % going to other Member States and 15,33 % to Belgium), the aid in question will affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.Whereas, in view of the above, the Belgian Government has not been able to provide, nor has the Commission found, any evidence which establishes that the proposed aids meet all the conditions in relation to the sectoral aid scheme in operation in Belgium necessary to benefit from the derogation of Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty.Whereas, furthermore, the proposed aids cannot benefit from the derogations set out in Article 92 (3) (a) and (b) of the EEC Treaty since the standard of living in the areas concerned is not abnormally low and there is no serious underemployment; whereas the aids do not promote the execution of important projects of common European interest or remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of Belgium,. The Kingdom of Belgium shall refrain from implementing the proposal, notified to the Commission by letter received on 17 May 1982, to grant aids to an undertaking involved in combed wool spinning and to an undertaking producing carpets and floor coverings. The Kingdom of Belgium shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measures taken to comply there-with. This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.. Done at Brussels, 8 February 1983.For the CommissionFrans ANDRIESSENMember of the Commission

11038,"93/379/EEC: Council Decision of 14 June 1993 on a multiannual programme of Community measures to intensify the priority areas and to ensure the continuity and consolidation of policy for enterprise, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),Whereas on 28 July 1989 the Council adopted Decision 89/490/EEC on the improvement of the business environment and the promotion of the development of enterprises, and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SHEs), in the Community (3), as  revised by Council Decision 91/319/EEC (4);Whereas in its resolution of 17 June 1992 on Community action to support enterprises, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, including craft-industry enterprises (5), the Council confirmed its undertaking to support the consolidation of the  action taken to help enterprises;Whereas the Council recommended in that resolution that the Commission should press ahead, having regard to the principle of subsidiary, with the action necessary to create an environment favourable to the competitiveness of enterprises, in particular  small and medium-sized enterprises, and to back up their integration into the internal market after 1992; whereas it also requested the Commission to submit before the end of 1992, in the light of the evaluations made, any proposals it deemed necessary  to ensure continuity of the policy towards enterprises;Whereas the opportunities afforded by the internal market will constitute the greatest business over the next few years, and SMEs must be provided with full information on this aspect of the Community;Whereas indpendent experts have carried out, pursuant to Article 3 of Decision 91/319/EEC, an evaluation of the results achieved from all aspects of the existing programme; whereas the Commission has submitted the report, together with its comments, to  the European Parliament and the Council;Whereas the report confirms the appositeness, importance and quality of the entreprises policy the Community has carried out thus far, but makes interesting suggestions concerning the direction of certain measures;Whereas the evolution of the economic situation calls for an initiative to relaunch growth, to the success of which SMEs have an essential contribution to make, and involves proposing the adoption of a programme of Community measures to assist SMEs  which takes full account of this new priority;Whereas the European Council meeting in Edinburgh on 11 and 12 December 1992 recognized 'the importance of SMEs for creating employment and stimulating growth'; whereas it agreed to reduce the burdens emanating from Community legislation, accelerate  Community actions in favour of SMEs which have proven their worth at the Community level and take measures that encourage private investment, particularly by SMEs;Whereas it is necessary to uphold the overall unity of enterprise policy by both strengthening its priority areas as part of the growth initiative and, at the same time, ensuring continuity in other aspects of enterprise policy;Whereas the Commission has put before the Council a communication on enterprise policy for the Community, entitled 'The enterprises dimension essential to Community growth';Whereas the Commission has submitted to the Council in the past two years a series of communications on measures for the benefit of SMEs (subcontracting, mutual guarantee systems, participation by SMEs in public contracts, etc.);Whereas this Decision appies to all forms of enterprise, regardless of sector, size, legal structure (including cooperatives, mutual societies, associations and foundations) and geographical location, but is especially directed at SMEs and enterprise  creators, including enterprises in commerce and the distributive trades, craft enterprises, family firms and young entrepreneurs;Whereas when defining SMEs it is necessary to follow the guidelines laid down in the Commission communication on SMEs definitions used in the framework of Community actions (SEC(92) 351 final of 29 April 1992);Whereas SMEs, particularly new enterprises, play an important role in economic activity in general and in regional development, and a fundamental role as regards dynamism, productivity, adaptability and innovation;Whereas the development of a Community enterprise policy based on real competition assumes particular importance as regards marking the Community economy more competitive and as regards employment growth, economic and social cohesion in the Community  and the continuation of the widening of the market after 1993;Whereas this policy primarly involves the improvement of the administrative, legal and fiscal environment of enterprises, the intensification and wider distribution of Community information for enterprises, the stimulation of cooperation and partnership  between enterprises, and the promotion and coordination of Community instruments to assist enterprises, particularly SMEs;Whereas the possibility offered to SMEs under the Structural Funds and Community research and development programmes and various other Community programmes such as those concerning public contracts should be improved and better used;Whereas the effectiveness of the action programme could be increased by regular contacts between the Commission and employers' organizations; whereas in this context SMEs should be encouraged to improve their representation at European level;Whereas, however, many measures to assist enterprises are carried out at Member State level, and Community measures should attempt to complement these;Whereas in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity the Community, in the context of the action programme, shall take action only if the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be  better achieved by the Community;Whereas the resources and measures implemented by the Community in the context of the action programme must be in proportion to the objective to be achieved;Whereas it is therefore necessary to adopt a programme for a period up to 31 December 1996 and to endow it with sufficient financial resources to atteint its objectives of growth stimulation, job creation and social and econmic cohesion in the  Community;Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those laid down in Article 235,.

22985,"2002/789/EC: Commission Decision of 10 October 2002 amending Decision 2001/751/EC as regards imports of live ratites and hatching eggs from Botswana (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2002) 3671). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of poultry and hatching eggs(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/867/EC(2), and in particular Article 21(1) and Article 23(1)b thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Decision 2001/751/EC(3) lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of live ratites and hatching eggs from third countries including animal health measures to be applied after such importation, and lists the third countries from where such imports may be authorised.(2) An inspection carried out by the Commission in Botswana in May 2001 has shown that sufficiently well-structured and organised veterinary services are in place in Botswana regarding the animal health status for ratites. However, the legislation in Botswana did not fully include the requirement for official notification of avian influenza.(3) Botswana has now amended its legislation to ensure that avian influenza is to be notified to the competent authority.(4) It is therefore appropriate to permit importation of live ratites and hatching eggs from Botswana.(5) Decision 2001/751/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(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,.

10071,"Council Directive 92/106/EEC of 7 December 1992 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined transport of goods between Member States. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 75 and 84 (2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas Council Directive 75/130/EEC of 17 February 1975 on the establishment of common rules for certain types of combined road/rail carriage of goods between Member States (4) has been amended several times; whereas on the occasion of further  amendments the Directive should be recast in the interests of clarity;Whereas the internal market is leading to an increase in traffic; whereas the Community must do what is necessary to ensure optimum management of its transport resources in the interest of all citizens, which means using combined transport;Whereas the increasing problems relating to road congestion, the environment and road safety call, in the public interest, for the further development of combined transport as an alternative to road transport;Whereas measures must be taken to make possible the development and further improvement of transport methods based on the intermodality of forms of transport and on the specific means and requirements of transport operators and users; whereas such  measures must cover combined forms of transport bringing together road and other modes of transport, such as rail, inland waterway and sea transport;Whereas greater recourse to combined transport will be encouraged by freedom from all quantitative restrictions and by the elimination of various administrative constraints which still exist in the field of road transport;Whereas for combined transport methods to result in a real reduction in road congestion, such liberalization should relate to road journeys of limited distance;Whereas the liberalization of the initial and final sections of a combined transport operation should be extended to combined transport operations using sea routes provided that the sea journey represents an important part of the combined transport  operation;Whereas the Commission should submit a report every two years, starting before 1 July 1995, on the application of this Directive;Whereas the development of combined transport would also be facilitated by stimulation measures and whereas it is therefore appropriate to reduce taxation on the use or possession of commercial vehicles to the exent that they are carried by rail and to  exempt initial and final road haulage legs from compulsory tariff regulations;Whereas access by own-account transport to combined transport should be facilitated;Whereas this Directive must not affect Member States' obligations regarding the time-limits for the transportation into national law and implementation of the Directives which make up the recast version,. 1. This Directive shall apply to combined transport operations, without prejudice to Regulation (EEC) No 881/92 (5).For the purposes of this Directive, 'combined transport' means the transport of goods between Member States where the lorry, trailer, semi-trailer, with or without tractor unit, swap body or container of 20 feet or more uses the road on the initial or  final leg of the journey and, on the other leg, rail or inland waterway or maritime services where this section exceeds 100 km as the crow flies and make the initial or final road transport leg of the journey;- between the point where the goods are loaded and the nearest suitable rail loading station for the initial leg, and between the nearest suitable rail unloading station and the point where the goods are unloaded for the final leg, or;- within a radius not exceeding 150 km as the crow flies from the inland waterway port or seaport of loading or unloading. Each of the Member States shall, by 1 July 1993, liberalize the combined transport operations referred to in Article 1 from all quota systems and systems of authorization. In the case of combined transport for hire or reward, a transport document which fulfils at least the requirements laid down in Article 6 of Council Regulation No 11 of 27 June 1960 concerning the abolition of discrimination in transport  rates and conditions, in implementation of Article 79 (3) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community (6), shall also specify the rail loading and unloading stations relating to the rail leg, or the inland waterway loading and unloading  ports relating to the inland waterway leg, or the maritime loading and unloading ports relating to the maritime section of the journey. These details shall be recorded before the transport operation is carried out and shall be confirmed by means of a  stamp affixed by the rail or port authorities in the railway stations or inland waterway or sea ports concerned when that part of the journey carried out by rail or inland waterway or by sea has been completed. All hauliers established in a Member State who meet the conditions of access to the occupation and access to the market for transport of goods between Member States shall have the right to carry out, in the context of a combined transport  operation between Member States, initial and/or final road haulage legs which form an integral part of the combined transport operation and which may or may not include the crossing of a frontier. 1. Every two years and in the first instance by 1 July 1995 the Commission shall draw up a report to the Council on:- the economic development of combined transport,- the application of Community law in this area,- the definition, where necessary, of further measures to promote combined transport operations.2. When drawing up the report referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall be assisted by representatives of the Member State to collect the information necessary for this purpose.The report shall analyze the information and statistics relating in particular to:- transport links used in combined transport operation,- the number of vehicles (a road train counting as a single vehicle), swap bodies and containers transported over the various transport links,- transported tonnages,- services carried out, in terms of tonnes/kilometres.The report shall, where appropriate, propose solutions for the subsequent improvement of such information and the situation in the combined transport sector. 1. Member States shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the taxes listed in paragraph 3 which are applicable to road vehicles (lorries, tractors, trailers or semi-trailers) when routed in combined transport are reduced or reimbursed  either by a standard amount, or in proportion to the journeys that such vehicles undertake by rail, within limits and in accordance with conditions and rules they fix after consultation with the Commission.The reductions of reimbursements referred to in the first paragraph shall be granted by the State in which the vehicles are registered, on the basis of the rail journeys effected within that State.Member States may, however, grant these reductions or reimbursements on the basis of the rail journeys which take place partially or wholly outside the Member State in which the vehicles are registered.2. Without prejudice to the provisions resulting from a possible reorganization of national taxation systems for commercial vehicles at Community level, vehicles used exclusively for road haulage in feeder or final delivery carriage by combined  transport may be exempted, if they are taxed separately, from the taxes listed in paragraph 3.3. The taxes referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are the following:- Belgium:taxe de circulation sur les véhicules automobiles/verkeersbelasting op de autovoertuigen;- Denmark:vaegtafgift af motorkoeretoejer mv.;- Germany:Kraftfahrzeugsteuer;- France:taxe spéciale sur certains véhicules routiers;- Greece:ôÝëç êõêëïoeïñssáò áõôïêéíÞôùí;- Spain:(a) impuesto sobre actividades económicas,(b) impuesto sobre vehículos de tracción mecánica;- Ireland:vehicle excise duties;- Italy:(a) tassa automobilistica,(b) addizionale del 5 % sulla tassa automobilistica;- Luxembourg:taxe sur les véhicules automoteurs;- Netherlands:motorrijtuigenbelasting;- Portugal:(a) imposto de camionagem,(b) imposto de circulaçao;- United Kingdom:vehicle excise duties. Where a trailer or semi-trailer belonging to an undertaking engaged in own-account transport is hauled on a final section by a tractor belonging to an undertaking engaged in transport for hire or reward, the transport operation so effected  shall be exempt from presentation of the document provided for in Article 3; however, another document shall be provided giving evidence of the journey covered or to be covered by rail, by inland waterway or by sea. Initial or final road haulage legs forming part of combined transport operations shall be exempted from compulsory tariff regulations. Where, as part of a combined transport operation, the dispatching undertaking carries out the initial road haulage leg for its own account within the meaning of the First Council Directive of 23 July 1962 on the establishment of common rules  for certain types of carriage of goods by road (7), the undertaking which is to receive the goods transported may, notwithstanding the definition given in the said Directive, carry out for its own account the final road haulage leg to transport the  goods to their destination using a tractor owned by it, bought by it on deferred terms or hired by it pursuant to Council Directive 84/647/EEC of 19 December 1984 on the use of vehicles hired without drivers for the carriage of goods by road (8), and  driven by its employees, even though the trailer or semi-trailer is registered or hired by the undertaking which dispatched the goods.The initial road haulage leg in a combined transport operation which the dispatching undertaking carries out using a tractor owned by it, bought by it on deferred terms or hired by it pursuant to Directive 86/647/EEC and which is driven by its  employees, whereas the trailer or semi-trailer is registered or hired by the undertaking which is to receive the goods transported, shall also, notwithstanding the Directive of 23 July 1962, be considered an own-account carriage operation if the final  road haulage leg is carried out for its own account in accordance with the latter Directive by the recipient undertaking. 01. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary in order to comply with this Directive by 1 July 1993. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.When these Member States adopt these provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member  States.2. Member States shall communicate the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive to the Commission. 11. Directive 75/130/EEC (9) is hereby repealed without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States regarding the time-limits for transposition and implementation set out in the Annex, part A.2.

36524,"2009/449/EC: Commission Decision of 13 May 2009 on the selection of operators of pan-European systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS) (notified under document number C(2009) 3746). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Decision No 626/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2008 on the selection and authorisation of systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS) (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,Whereas:(1) In order to facilitate the development of a competitive internal market for mobile satellite services (MSS) across the Community and to ensure gradual coverage in all Member States, Decision No 626/2008/EC creates a Community procedure for the common selection of operators of mobile satellite systems that use the 2 GHz frequency band in accordance with Commission Decision 2007/98/EC (2), comprising radio spectrum from 1 980 to 2 010 MHz for earth to space communications, and from 2 170 to 2 200 MHz for space to earth communications.(2) The Commission published a call for applications for pan-European systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS) (2008/C 201/03) on 7 August 2008 (3). The deadline of 7 October 2008 was set for the submission of applications.(3) Applications from ICO Satellite Limited, Inmarsat Ventures Limited, Solaris Mobile Limited and TerreStar Europe Limited were received within the deadline.(4) On 24 October 2008 requests for additional information regarding the fulfilment of admissibility requirements were sent to ICO Satellite Limited, Inmarsat Ventures Limited and TerreStar Europe Limited. All the three applicants responded by 7 November 2008.(5) By Decision C(2008) 8123 of 11 December 2008 on the admissibility of applications submitted in response to the call for applications for pan-European systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS) (2008/C 201/03) the Commission decided that the four applications submitted by, respectively, ICO Satellite Limited, Inmarsat Ventures Limited, Solaris Mobile Limited and TerreStar Europe Limited are admissible. The Decision was forthwith notified to the applicants, and the list of admissible applicants was published on the Commission website (4).(6) Information regarding the completion of the critical design review was provided, in addition to the application, by ICO Satellite Limited, Inmarsat Ventures Limited and TerreStar Europe Limited no later than 80 working days after the submission of their application (by 6 February 2009), in accordance with the Annex to Decision No 626/2008/EC.(7) Moreover, correspondence including additions to the technical or operational content of the application was provided by TerreStar Europe Limited and ICO Satellite Limited after the deadlines for submission of the application and for submission of information regarding the completion of the critical design review, and could therefore not be taken into account.(8) In the first selection phase the Commission should assess, within 40 working days following publication of the list of admissible applicants, whether applicants have demonstrated the required level of technical and commercial development of their respective mobile satellite systems. Such assessment should be based on the satisfactory completion of milestones one to five as set out in the Annex to Decision No 626/2008/EC. The credibility of applicants and the viability of the proposed mobile satellite systems should be taken into account throughout the first selection phase.(9) To facilitate the implementation of the comparative selection procedure, and in particular in order to assist the Commission in preparing decisions connected with the selection procedure, a working group of the Communications Committee on the comparative selection procedure for pan-European systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS) was established.(10) For the analysis and evaluation of applications in the first selection phase, the Commission sought the advice and assistance of external experts, selected through a competitive tendering procedure on the basis of their expertise and high level of independence and impartiality.(11) Following a detailed analysis, and comprehensive deliberations in meetings, a consolidated report including conclusions on the completion of the milestones was produced by the experts and communicated to the Commission.(12) The conclusions of the first-phase evaluation by the external experts were discussed by the experts of Member States in the framework of the working group of the Communications Committee on the comparative selection procedure for pan-European systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS). The outcome of these discussions was presented and discussed in the Communications Committee.(13) The Commission took into account the consolidated report of the external experts as well as the opinion of the Member States′ experts expressed in the working group on the comparative selection procedure for pan-European systems providing mobile satellite services (MSS) for the purposes of the first selection phase assessment.(14) The outcome of the Commission′s assessment is that Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited have demonstrated the required level of technical and commercial development of their respective mobile satellite systems and should be eligible applicants, while ICO Satellite Limited and TerreStar Europe Limited have not demonstrated the required level of technical and commercial development of their respective mobile satellite systems and should not be eligible applicants.(15) Milestone one is entitled ‘Submission of International Telecommunications Union (ITU) request for coordination’ and requires that the applicant provide clear evidence that the administration responsible for the ITU filing of a mobile satellite system to be used for the provision of commercial MSS within the territories of the Member States has submitted the relevant ITU Radio Regulations Appendix 4 information. All the four applications contained clear evidence in this regard, which led the Commission to consider that this milestone had been satisfactorily completed by all four applicants.(16) Milestone two is entitled ‘Satellite manufacturing’ and requires that the applicant provide clear evidence of a binding agreement for the manufacture of the satellites required for the provision of commercial MSS within the territories of the Member States. The document shall identify the construction milestones leading to the completion of manufacture of satellites required for the provision of commercial MSS. The document shall be signed by the applicant and the satellite manufacturing company. The applications of Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited were supported by clear evidence in this regard, which led the Commission to consider that this milestone had been satisfactorily completed by these applicants.(17) Milestone three is entitled ‘Satellite launch agreement’ and requires that the applicant provide clear evidence of a binding agreement to launch the minimum number of satellites required for the continuous provision of commercial MSS within the territories of the Member States. The document shall identify the launch dates and launch services and the contractual terms and conditions concerning indemnity. The document shall be signed by the mobile satellite system operator and the satellite launching company. All the four applications were supported by clear evidence in this regard, which led the Commission to consider that this milestone had been satisfactorily completed by all four applicants.(18) Milestone four is entitled ‘Gateway earth stations’ and requires that the applicant provide clear evidence of a binding agreement for the construction and installation of gateway earth stations that would be used for the provision of commercial MSS within the territories of the Member States. All the four applications were supported by clear evidence in this regard, which led the Commission to consider that this milestone had been satisfactorily completed by all four applicants.(19) Milestone five is entitled ‘Completion of the critical design review’. Critical design review is defined as ‘the stage in the spacecraft implementation process at which the design and development phase ends and the manufacturing phase starts’. The milestone requires that the applicant provide clear evidence of the completion, no later than 80 working days after the submission of the application, of the critical design review in accordance with the construction milestones indicated in the satellite manufacturing agreement. The relevant document shall be signed by the satellite manufacturing company and shall indicate the date of the completion of the critical design review. The applications of ICO Satellite Limited, Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited were supported by clear evidence in this regard, which led the Commission to consider that this milestone had been satisfactorily completed by these applicants.(20) As regards milestone two […] (5). […] (5) lack of contractual and up-to-date evidence for the construction milestones leading to the completion of manufacture of the satellites required for the provision of commercial MSS led the Commission to consider, in accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision No 626/2008/EC, that this milestone had not been satisfactorily completed by ICO Satellite Limited.(21) […] (5) The inconsistency between the information provided in the application and the information in relation to the critical design review provided subsequently, and the lack of clear evidence of the completion of the critical design review for the satellite referred to in the satellite manufacturing agreement as included in the application, led the Commission to consider, in accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision No 626/2008/EC, that milestone five in conjunction with milestone two had not been satisfactorily completed by TerreStar Europe Limited.(22) Inmarsat Ventures Limited requested in its application 15 MHz of spectrum for earth to space communications and 15 MHz of spectrum for space to earth communications. Solaris Mobile Limited requested in its application 15 MHz of spectrum for earth to space communications and 15 MHz of spectrum for space to earth communications.(23) Since the combined demand for radio spectrum requested by Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited does not exceed the amount of radio spectrum available identified in Article 1(1) of Decision No 626/2008/EC, the two applicants should be selected in accordance with Article 5(2) of Decision No 626/2008/EC.(24) Any selection decision adopted as a result of the first selection phase should identify the respective frequencies which each selected applicant shall be authorised to use, in each Member State, in accordance with Title III of Decision No 626/2008/EC.(25) The frequencies should be identified on the basis of objective, transparent, non-discriminatory, and proportionate criteria. In this regard, the principle of effective management of radio frequencies, as enshrined in Article 9 of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (6), should apply. In accordance with this principle, the two times 30 MHz to be used should be divided into contiguous sub-bands of equal bandwidth for both earth to space communications (the uplink) and space to earth communications (the downlink) in order to allow the most efficient use of the sub-bands. The lower pair of sub-bands should consist of 1 980-1 995 MHz for earth to space communications (the uplink) and of 2 170-2 185 MHz for space to earth communications (the downlink); the upper pair of sub-bands should consist of 1 995-2 010 MHz for the uplink and of 2 185-2 200 MHz for the downlink. As required in Section 4.4 of the call for applications 2008/C 201/03, the Commission has taken into account the indications of preferences of the eligible applicants as provided in their applications. […] (5).(26) Within 30 working days of the publication of the list of selected applicants, those applicants that intend not to use the radio frequencies should inform the Commission thereof in writing.(27) According to Article 7 of Decision No 626/2008/EC, Member States shall ensure that the selected applicants, in accordance with the time-frame and the service area to which the selected applicants have committed themselves, in accordance with Article 4(1)(c), and in accordance with national and Community law, have the right to use the specific radio frequency identified in the Commission decision adopted pursuant to Articles 5(2) or 6(3) and the right to operate a mobile satellite system. They shall inform selected applicants of those rights accordingly. Decision No 626/2008/EC also stipulates that the right to use the specific radio frequencies should be granted to the selected applicants as soon as possible after their selection, in accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive) (7).(28) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Communications Committee delivered on 2 April 2009,. ICO Satellite Limited and TerreStar Europe Limited are not eligible applicants as a result of the first selection phase of the comparative selection procedure provided in Title II of Decision No 626/2008/EC. Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited are eligible applicants as a result of the first selection phase of the comparative selection procedure provided in Title II of Decision No 626/2008/EC.As the combined demand for radio spectrum requested by the eligible applicants retained as a result of the first selection phase of the comparative selection procedure provided in Title II of Decision No 626/2008/EC does not exceed the amount of radio spectrum available identified in Article 1(1) of Decision No 626/2008/EC, Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited are selected. The frequencies which each selected applicant shall be authorised to use in each Member State in accordance with Title III of Decision No 626/2008/EC shall be the following:(a) Inmarsat Ventures Limited: from 1 980 to 1 995 MHz for earth to space communications and from 2 170 to 2 185 MHz for space to earth communications;(b) Solaris Mobile Limited: from 1 995 to 2 010 MHz for earth to space communications and from 2 185 to 2 200 MHz for space to earth communications. The selection of Inmarsat Ventures Limited and Solaris Mobile Limited and the identification to the selected applicants of the respective frequencies provided for by Articles 2 and 3 is conditional upon no information in writing being provided, within 30 working days of the publication of the list of selected applicants by the Commission, by the relevant selected applicant to the effect that the applicant intends not to use the radio frequencies identified.

41079,"Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 205/2012 of 6 January 2012 amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the data source and the data parameters to be reported by Member States  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(9) thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Articles 18 and 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (2), a manufacturer must ensure that each new light commercial vehicle placed on the market in the Union is accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity and a Member State may not register such a vehicle unless it is accompanied by such a certificate. In accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, data collected by a Member State to monitor the manufacturer’s compliance with Articles 4 and 11 of that Regulation are to be consistent with a certificate of conformity and based on this document only.(2) Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (3) requires the Member States to use the certificate of conformity as a data source but allows for the use of other documents providing equivalent accuracy for the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from passenger cars. In order to ensure cost-efficient and accurate monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions data for light commercial vehicles, it is appropriate in the short-term to allow Member States to use the same procedure and data sources for the monitoring and reporting under Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 as those used for reporting under Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should, where duly justified, allow for the use of other data sources providing equivalent accuracy for CO2 monitoring and reporting purposes. The Member States should put the necessary measures in place to ensure adequate accuracy in the monitoring procedure.(3) Based on the experience gained from the monitoring of CO2 emissions from passenger cars, it is appropriate, in order to improve the means for verifying the accuracy of the data, to add type-approval number as a detailed data parameter to be reported by Member States. It has also become evident that there is no need for the parameter ‘commercial name’ which therefore should be deleted from the detailed monitoring data.(4) In order to ensure clarity and precision in the monitoring and reporting by Member States, it is also necessary to ensure consistency between the different requirements specified in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. The detailed data requirements are specified in the reporting formats set out in Part C of Annex II. Parts A and B of that Annex should therefore be adjusted to reflect those detailed data requirements accurately.(5) Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,. Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

29437,"2005/363/EC: Commission Decision of 2 May 2005 concerning animal health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy (notified under document number C(2005) 1321)Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Decision 2003/514/EC of 10 July 2003 concerning health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy (4) was adopted in response to the presence of African swine fever in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy.(2) In 2004, a serious recrudescence of African swine fever occurred in Sardinia. African swine fever must still be considered an endemic disease in the domestic and feral pig population of the province of Nuoro. Some outbreaks of that disease in domestic pigs have, however, also been notified in other provinces of Sardinia.(3) The disease situation is liable to endanger the pig herds in other regions of Italy and in other Member States, in view of trade in live pigs, pig semen, ova and embryos and pig meat, pig meat products and other products containing pig meat.(4) Italy has taken measures to combat African swine fever in Sardinia within the framework of Council Directive 2002/60/EC of 27 June 2002 laying down specific provisions for the control of African swine fever and amending Directive 92/119/EEC as regards Teschen disease and African swine fever (5).(5) Italy has reviewed the measures taken so far to combat the disease in the light of the recrudescence of the disease in 2004.(6) Commission Decision 2005/362/EC of 2 May 2005 approving the plan for the eradication of African swine fever in feral pigs in Sardina, Italy (6) was adopted in order to approve the plan for the eradication of African swine fever in feral pigs submitted by Italy.(7) In the light of the current epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to apply further Community measures to the whole territory of Sardinia as regards the movement of live pigs and pig semen, ova and embryos and the dispatch of pig meat, pig meat products and products containing pig meat.(8) It is appropriate to provide for certain derogations from the measures provided for in this Decision for pig meat originating from pigs which have entered Sardinia as pigs for slaughter in accordance with Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (7) or Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (8) or Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (9) or that satisfies certain requirements of this Decision.(9) It is also appropriate to provide for certain derogations for pig meat products and other products containing pig meat obtained from meat that entered Sardinia as fresh pig meat in accordance with Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat (10) or in accordance with Directive 2002/99/EC or that comply with Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting the production and marketing of meat products and certain other products of animal origin (11) or that satisfy certain requirements of this Decision.(10) In order to ensure that pig meat, pig meat products and other products containing pig meat, not fulfilling certain animal health requirements are not dispatched from Sardinia and to ensure the traceability of such pig meat and products, the pig meat should be specially marked. These special marks must be such that they cannot be confused with the oval stamp for pig meat provided for in point 50 of Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC, or after its date of application the health mark in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (12), and with the oval stamp for pig meat products and other products containing pig meat provided for in point 4 of Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC, or after its date of application the identification mark in accordance with 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 (13).(11) Decision 2003/514/EC should therefore be repealed.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

36394,"2009/121/EC: Council Decision of 18 December 2008 rejecting the proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of antimicrobial substances to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 202 thereof,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 3(2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 as regards the use of antimicrobial substances to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses,Having regard to Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. It provides that food business operators are not to use any substance other than water to remove surface contamination from products of animal origin, unless the use of such substance has been approved in accordance with that Regulation.(2) A high level of protection of human health should be assured in the pursuit of Community policies. Measures adopted by the Community governing food and feed must be based on an appropriate assessment of the possible risks for human and animal health and must, taking into account existing scientific evidence, maintain, or if scientifically justified, increase the level of protection of human and animal health ensured in the Community. High hygiene standards throughout the food production chain and avoidance or prohibition on the use of substances which can potentially mask poor hygiene practices are a key priority in the Community.(3) In addition, a high level of protection of the environment should be ensured in the pursuit of Community policies, both by acts of environmental policy itself and by the integration of environmental policy requirements into the definition and implementation of other Community policies and activities.(4) The Commission proposal underlines that several antimicrobial substances such as chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite, trisodium phosphate or peroxyacids that are used to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses can pose a risk to the aquatic environment, the health of staff working in waste water systems and the operation and performance of sewerage systems and/or waste water treatment plants. The use of antimicrobial substances containing chlorine can also lead to the formation of chloroorganic compounds, several of which are persistent, bioaccumulable or carcinogenic. Phosphorus compounds are also one of the sources of the eutrophication of European regional seas, leading to mass growth algae and other undesirable disturbance of the aquatic environment.(5) The Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health (SCVPH) issued a report on 30 October 1998 on the ‘benefits and limitations of antimicrobial treatments for poultry carcasses’ and recommended that before any decontamination compound or decontamination technique is authorised for use, it should be fully assessed.(6) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted a scientific opinion on 14-15 December 2005‘on the evaluation of the efficacy of peroxyacids for use as an antimicrobial substance applied on poultry carcasses’. It concluded that the efficacy of peroxyacids was difficult to assess because the protocols submitted were not always clearly described, and, even if they were, would not be sufficient to demonstrate the efficacy of peroxyacids under commercial conditions.(7) The EFSA adopted a scientific opinion on 6 March 2008‘on the assessment of possible effect of the chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite, trisodium phosphate and peroxyacids on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance’. The findings led the EFSA to encourage further research on the likelihood of the emergence of susceptibility to these types of substances, and the possibility of their resistance to therapeutic antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents.(8) The Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) and the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) adopted a joint scientific opinion on 18 March 2008 and 2 April 2008 on the environmental impact and effect on the antimicrobial resistance of the four substances used for the removal of microbial surface contamination of poultry carcasses. They stated that ‘there is currently insufficient knowledge on the potential negative effects of using different biocides’ and concluded that there was not enough information available for producing comprehensive quantitative assessments. There were environmental concerns about the possibility to disseminate or select more resistant strains and in relation to the potential residues in the poultry carcasses.(9) Taking into account scientific information available, it cannot be excluded that the approval of theses substances may lead to an increased antimicrobial resistance in humans.(10) The emergence of antimicrobial resistance is also a major and permanent concern of international bodies involved in human medicine. The Commission has taken various important legislative initiatives aiming at reducing antimicrobial resistance linked to feed, veterinary treatment of animals and food.(11) Likewise the Council adopted, at its session of 9 and 10 June 2008, Council conclusions on antimicrobial resistance stressing that antimicrobial resistance is still a growing European and global health problem.(12) The European Parliament, in its resolution of 19 June 2008, voiced its disapproval of the Commission proposal for the reasons stated above and called on the Council to reject it.(13) The lack of scientific data in relation to hazards related to the use of these substances leads to the application of the precautionary principle as referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (3). According to this principle, in specific circumstances where, following an assessment of available information, the possibility of harmful effects on health is identified but scientific uncertainty persists, provisional risk management measures necessary to ensure the high level of health protection chosen in the Community may be adopted, pending further scientific information for a more comprehensive risk assessment.(14) Data collection by food business operators and research programmes should therefore be encouraged so that both the efficacy of these substances and the development of antimicrobial resistances as well as possible environmental impact could be fully assessed. For this purpose, the EFSA has published a joint AFC/BIOHAZ guidance document (4) on the submission of data for the evaluation of the safety and the efficacy of substances for the removal of microbial surface contamination of foods of animal origin. Pending the collection and evaluation of such data, the Council considers it necessary to await the outcome thereof and, in the meantime, to reject the Commission’s proposal,. The proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of antimicrobial substances to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses is rejected.

30123,"Council Regulation (EC) No 485/2005 of 16 March 2005 amending Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 as regards a specific action for transfers of vessels to countries hit by the tsunami in 2004. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 37 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Whereas:(1) On 26 December 2004, a strong tsunami in the Indian Ocean struck a number of third countries, ravaging their coasts and their industries and causing heavy loss of life. Many fishing vessels were wrecked at sea or destroyed in port.(2) Within the framework of the common fisheries policy, fishing vessels can be withdrawn from the Community fishing fleet with public aid only if they are scrapped or reassigned for non-profitable purposes other than fishing.(3) It is appropriate to extend the possibility of withdrawal of fishing vessels from the Community fishing fleet with public aid to vessels which are transferred to the countries affected by the tsunami for the benefit of the fishing communities concerned.(4) This would help those communities to rebuild their fishing fleets swiftly, taking into account local needs as recorded by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.(5) To meet the needs of those communities, only vessels which are fully seaworthy, suitable for fishing activity and of an overall length of less than 12 metres should be eligible for the measures provided for by this Regulation.(6) It is appropriate to provide for the grant of an additional premium to cover the expenses incurred by public or private organisations for the transport of the vessels to the third countries and to compensate owners for equipping their vessels and making them fully seaworthy.(7) A procedure for the transfer of vessels should be set up.(8) Reports on steps taken under this Regulation should be submitted by the Member States and by the Commission in order to guarantee transparency of the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (2).(9) It is particularly useful to assess the transfers to ensure that the measures are implemented to the benefit of the fishing communities concerned, to ensure consistency with the general principles of the common fisheries policy and promote long-term sustainability of fishing activities and to avoid negative effects on the local economy.(10) Given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of the national parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities.(11) Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly,. Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 7 shall be amended as follows:(a) paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:(b) the following point shall be added to paragraph 3:‘(d) until 30 June 2006, permanent transfer of the vessel to a third country hit by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in December 2004, provided that the following criteria are met:(i) the vessel has an overall length of less than 12 metres and is not more than 20 years old;(ii) the Member State which authorises the transfer ensures that the vessel is fully seaworthy and suitable for fishing activity, that it is transferred to a region affected by the tsunami for the benefit of the fishing communities having suffered the consequences thereof and that adverse effects on the fisheries resources and the local economy are avoided.(iii) the transfer meets the needs identified by the assessment of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and is in accordance with the third country’s requests.’;(c) the following paragraph shall be added:(i) for vessels of five to 15 years old, the premium referred to in paragraph 5(a)(i) shall apply and for vessels of 16 to 20 years old, the premium referred to in paragraph 5(a)(ii) shall apply;(ii) the premium referred to in paragraph 5(a) may be increased by up to 20 % for the following purposes:— to cover the expenses incurred by the public or private organisations designated by Member States to be responsible for the transfer of the vessel to the third country,— to compensate the vessel owner benefiting from the premium for equipping the vessel and making it fully seaworthy and suitable for fishing activity in the third countries concerned.2. the following sentence shall be added to Article 10(4):3. the following Articles shall be inserted: This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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..

21640,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1338/2001 of 28 June 2001 laying down measures necessary for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third sentence of Article 123(4) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank(3),Whereas:(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro(4), provides for euro notes to be put into circulation by the European Central Bank (ECB) and by the national central banks (NCB) of the participating Member States and for euro coins to be put into circulation by the participating Member States from 1 January 2002; a system for protecting the euro against counterfeiting must therefore be adopted rapidly so that it can be operational before euro notes and coins are put into circulation.(2) The arrangements put in place by the Council Act of 26 July 1995 drawing up the Convention on the establishment of a European Police Office (Europol Convention)(5) and by the Council Decision of 29 April 1999 extending Europol's mandate to deal with forgery of money and means of payment(6) are designed to combat counterfeiting in general.(3) In its framework Decision of 29 May 2000 on increasing protection by criminal penalties and other sanctions against counterfeiting in connection with the introduction of the euro(7), the Council adopted provisions to ensure that the euro is protected in an appropriate way by effective measures under criminal law.(4) Measures to protect the euro against counterfeiting concern the Community as part of its responsibility in respect of the single currency; the legal protection of the euro cannot be satisfactorily ensured by the individual Member States alone, since euro notes and coins will circulate beyond the territories of the participating Member States. It is therefore necessary to adopt Community legislation defining the measures necessary for euro notes and coins to circulate in the proper conditions to ensure the overall effective and consistent protection of the euro against activities likely to jeopardise its credibility, and thus to adopt appropriate measures so that everything is ready in good time before 1 January 2002.(5) For the purposes of applying this Regulation it is necessary to define or to take over the existing definitions of certain concepts such as euro counterfeiting, technical and statistical data and the national authorities competent for research inter alia with a view to the gathering and analysis of data concerning counterfeiting, including the central offices provided for in Article 12 of the Geneva Convention.(6) It should be ensured that the technical and statistical data collected by the competent national authorities regarding counterfeit euro notes and coins and as far as possible unauthorised notes are communicated to the ECB while allowing the competent national authorities and, in accordance with its responsibilities, the Commission, to have access to such data. It is also envisaged that Europol will have access to such data on the basis of an agreement between it and the ECB.(7) The counterfeiting analysis centre (CAC) established and managed under the auspices of the ECB, in accordance with its Guideline(8), centralises the classification and analysis of technical data relating to counterfeit notes.(8) The technical scheme for handling counterfeit euro coins which the Council accepted on 28 February 2000 makes reference to the systematic gathering of technical information on euro counterfeiting by the ECB, the establishment at European level of a European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC) for the technical analysis and the classification of counterfeit euro coins and at national level of coin national analysis centres (CNAC).(9) Provision has been made for the ETSC to be established on a temporary basis as a distinct and independent administrative entity within the Paris Mint on the basis of an Exchange of Letters between the President of the Council and the French Minister for Finance of 28 February and 9 June 2000; its tasks must be defined in this Regulation; the future status and the permanent headquarters of the ETSC will be decided by the Council in due course.(10) It is necessary to provide for counterfeit euro notes to be handed over for identification to the national analysis centres - NAC; counterfeit coins should be handed over to the CNAC.(11) It is necessary to provide that credit institutions and any other establishments involved in the sorting and distribution to the public of notes and coins as a professional activity, including those whose activity consists in exchanging notes or coins, such as bureaux de change, shall be under an obligation to withdraw from circulation euro notes and coins which they know or have sufficient reason to believe to be counterfeit and hand them over to the competent national authorities. In addition, it is necessary to provide for the Member States to take steps so that sanctions they consider appropriate are imposed in the event of non-compliance by the said establishments with their obligations.(12) Close and regular cooperation between the competent national authorities, the Commission and the ECB must be organised to ensure effective and consistent protection of the euro, in particular as regards exchanges of information with the exception of personal data, mutual cooperation and assistance between Community and national authorities, scientific support and vocational training. To this end, the Commission will continue, without prejudice to the role attributed to the ECB in protecting the euro against counterfeiting, on a regular basis, in an appropriate advisory committee, with the leading players in the fight against counterfeiting of the euro (including the ECB, the ETSC, Europol and Interpol), the consultations on improving the conditions for the overall protection of the euro on the basis of legislative initiatives to reinforce the prevention and combating of counterfeiting.(13) To ensure the exchange of full, up-to-date and comparable data, provision should be made for national centralisation of strategic and operational information and for the obligation to report data. To this end, provision should be made for Member States to take the necessary steps to enable central offices to fulfil their missions in accordance with the Geneva Convention in order to ensure the exchange of information between themselves and national Europol units.(14) The complementary nature of the tasks of the various Community partners, with the assistance Europol is able to provide in accordance with the Council Decision of 29 April 1999, must bring together all the tools required to protect the euro from the damaging consequences arising from illegal counterfeiting activities. Europol fulfils its functions without prejudice to the competence of the European Community; with strict regard to their respective competences, Europol and the European Community should establish forms of cooperation enabling them to perform their respective functions as effectively as possible; to this end, priority should be given to the organisation of close and regular cooperation on the basis of appropriate agreements to be concluded between Europol and the ECB, on the one hand, and between Europol and the Commission on the other hand in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Europol Convention.(15) Given that the euro will be used by non-member countries as a currency for international transactions, provision should be made for structured cooperation involving all the relevant players in the event of counterfeiting in non-member countries.(16) The measures provided for by this Regulation do not affect the power of the Member States to apply national criminal law for the purposes of protecting the euro against counterfeiting,.

Following the launch by the Republic of Cyprus of a debt management exercise involving its marketable debt instruments, the Governing Council decided that the adequacy as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus was negatively affected, and decided to repeal Decision ECB/2013/13 on 28 June 2013 (4).(4) Following completion of the debt management exercise and confirmation that the Republic of Cyprus is complying with the conditionality of the economic and financial adjustment programme applicable to it, the Governing Council has further assessed that marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus currently have a quality standard sufficient to warrant their eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations.(5) The Governing Council has therefore decided that the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus for Eurosystem monetary policy operations should again be restored, subject to applying specific haircuts to such instruments different from those provided for in Section 6.4.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.(6) Under Article 7 of Guideline ECB/2013/4, the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold does not apply to marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the central governments of euro area Member States under a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme, unless the Governing Council decides that the respective Member State does not comply with the conditionality of the financial support and/or the macroeconomic programme. However, under Article 1(3) of the same Guideline, for the purposes of its Article 5(1) and Article 7, only Ireland, the Hellenic Republic and Portugal are considered euro area Member States compliant with a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme. Therefore an additional Governing Council decision is required to waive the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold for marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus.(7) This exceptional measure will apply temporarily until the Governing Council considers that the normal application of the Eurosystem’s eligibility criteria and risk control framework for monetary policy operations can be reintroduced,. Suspension of certain provisions of Guideline ECB/2011/14 and eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus1.   The Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality, as specified in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework rules for certain marketable assets in Section 6.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall be suspended for marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus. Hence, for the purposes of Article 5(1) and Article 7 of Guideline ECB/2013/4, the Republic of Cyprus shall be considered a euro area Member State compliant with a European Union/International Monetary Fund programme.2.   Marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Republic of Cyprus shall be subject to the specific haircuts set out in the Annex to this Decision.3.   In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision, Guideline ECB/2011/14 and Guideline ECB/2013/4, in each case as implemented at national level by the NCBs, this Decision shall prevail.

It also imposes restrictions on the production of certain materials, for certain slaughter techniques, and on related imports. It is to be reviewed in the light of new scientific evidence.(2) In its opinion of 30 March 2001 on the Geographic BSE Risk of certain third countries, the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) concluded that, in addition to previously evaluated countries, the occurrence of BSE in native cattle is only highly unlikely in Brazil and Singapore. For all other countries for which the evaluation by the SSC has been finalised during this session, it concluded that the occurrence of BSE in native cattle is at best unlikely but no excluded.(3) Decision 2000/418/EC imposes restrictions on import from 31 March 2001. Therefore this Decision shall take effect from 1 April 2001.(4) Decision 2000/418/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,.

35387,"Commission Directive 2008/16/EC of 15 February 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include etofenprox as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 of 4 November 2003 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market and amending Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes etofenprox.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, etofenprox has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 11 October 2005 in accordance with Article 10(5) and (7) of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 21 June 2006, in an assessment report.(5) The review of etofenprox did not reveal any open questions or concerns to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks.(6) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing etofenprox may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. However, acceptable risks to human health were only identified for seasonal and intermittent (up to three months per year) use. It is therefore appropriate to include etofenprox in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing etofenprox can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC. Authorisations for products to be used year-round will require the submission of dermal absorption data in order to demonstrate that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to human health.(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, and in particular of the risk identified for workers, it is appropriate to require that products containing etofenprox and intended for industrial use as wood preservatives be used with appropriate protective equipment.(8) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the Community level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States pay particular attention to the risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Community level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to mitigate the identified risks to acceptable levels.(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance etofenprox and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product type 8 containing etofenprox to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

Consequently, equidae can only receive medical treatment with medicinal products containing pharmacologically active substances mentioned in Annexes I, II or III to that Regulation;(8) the Commission considers modifying Article 1 of Directive 81/851/EEC in order to introduce a definition of food-producing animals and to allow exemptions of certain groups of these species, if the animals included in such groups are sufficiently identified and controlled. Equidae clearly identified and specifically marked in their identification document as not intended for slaughter or intented for slaughter under controlled conditions in accordance with Community law qualify for such exemptions;(9) as its meeting of 9 to 11 November 1999 the Scientific Committee for Veterinary Medicinal products considered the Commission's request to indicate an appropriate general withdrawal period for substances not included in the annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and recommended that this withdrawal period shall be at least six months.(10) the provisions of Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat(8), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(9), apply to meat from solipeds. In accordance with that Directive animals for slaughter must be identified so as to enable the competent authorities to determine their origin. Article 7(3) of Directive 90//426/EEC requires the official veterinarian at the slaughterhouse to record the identification number or identification document number of the slaughtered equidae;(11) in accordance with Directive 64/433/EEC the official veterinarian must, during the ante-mortem health inspection, pay attention to any signs that the animals have had substances with pharmacological effects administered to them or have consumed any other substances which may make their meat harmful to human health. The check of the medication record in the identification document shall therefore be part of this assessment;(12) the conditions for imports of equidae should be those laid down in Directive 90/426/EEC and in particular in Commission Decisions 93/196/EEC(10) and 93/197/EEC(11);(13) it is necessary to modify the identification document of registered equidae accordingly;(14) it is furthermore necessary to establish the identification document for equidae for breeding and production based on the identification document for registered equidae;(15) in order to allow the Member States time for the implementation of the proposed measures a transitional period should be provided for;(16) the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics and the Standing Veterinary Committee,.

Section IX:Medicinal TreatmentPart I and Part II or Part III of this Section must be duly completed in accordance with the instructions provided for in this Section.""2. A new section is added in accordance with the Annex to the present Decision. 1. The identification number mentioned in Section II(1) of the identification document laid down by Decision 93/623/EEC shall be the life-number of the animal, which must be maintained or a reference to which must be established whenever the competent authorities modify registration details of the animal in question.2. The identification number referred to in paragraph 1 shall be the identification number referred to in Article 7(3) of Directive 90/426/EEC.

23944,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2002 of 26 June 2002 fixing export refunds on nuts. ,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), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 35(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3) lays down detailed rules on export refunds on fruit and vegetables.(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant quantities of the products listed in that Article to be exported, the difference between the international market prices for those products and their prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds.(3) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or the outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the costs referred to in Article 35(4)(b) of that Regulation and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.(4) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. International trade prices are to be established in the light of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.(7) Shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.(8) Compared with other fruit and vegetables, nuts are relatively easy to store. Export refunds can accordingly be fixed for longer periods with a view to rational management of the arrangements.(9) The application of the abovementioned rules to the present and forecast market situation, and in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and international trade, gives the refund rates set out in the Annex hereto.(10) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, the resources available should be used as efficiently as possible while avoiding discrimination between traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements. For those reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product.(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(5), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.(12) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(7), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.(13) Owing to the market situation, in order to make the most efficient use of the resources available and given the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and certain destinations and consequently refunds under the A 1, A 2 and A 3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.(14) The quantities laid down for the various products should be distributed in accordance with the different systems for the grant of the refund, taking account in particular of their perishability.(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,. 1. The export refunds on nuts shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.2. Quantities covered by licences issued for food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not count against the eligible quantities covered by the Annex.3. Without prejudice to the application of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of A 1 licences shall be three months. This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 June 2002.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

A reciprocal exchange of information and data from networks and individual stations measuring air pollution, hereinafter referred to as ""reciprocal exchange"", is hereby established. It shall apply to the individual results of measurements obtained by fixed stations which have been operating, or are planned to operate, continuously over a sufficiently representative period of time. 1. This Decision relates to the following pollutants to the extent that they are measured at stations in the Member States:    (a) sulphur compounds measured as:      - sulphur dioxide, or- strong acidity, expressed in accordance with Annex I, paragraph 1;(b) suspended particulates, expressed in accordance with Annex I, paragraph 1, measured as:      - suspended particulate matter, or- black smoke;(c) suspended particulates of heavy metals, e.g. lead, cadmium, etc.,(d) nitrogen oxides measured as:      - nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and- either total oxides of nitrogen (NOx)- or nitrogen monoxide (NO);(e) carbon monoxide;(f) ozone.2. The first data to be communicated shall be:    - for the pollutants in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) : those obtained from 1 January 1979 in order to maintain continuity with the data collected previously,- for the pollutants in paragraph 1 (c) and (d) : those obtained from 1 October 1980,- for the pollutants in paragraph 1 (e) and (f) : those obtained from 1 October 1982.3. Member States may include other pollutants after technical discussions with the Commission. Each Member State shall designate a National Coordinator and inform the Commission of the name of the person, or body, responsible for the selection of stations, the collection and transmission of information and data relating to the stations and pollutants as well as for liaison with the Commission in all related aspects. Until the Commission is advised otherwise, the person or body designated by each Member State under Article 4 (1) of Decision 75/441/EEC shall be deemed to be the National Coordinator. 1. The stations participating in the exchange of information procedure laid down in Decision 75/441/EEC shall be included in the system of reciprocal exchange. Member States shall select from the available stations those which may be added to this system and shall notify the Commission of their choice. Each station selected shall be representative, as far as possible, of the conditions obtaining around that sampling point for the pollutant being considered.2. In selecting stations, priority shall be given to those which utilize more than one sampling or analytical technique to measure a given pollutant so as to assist in the assessment of appropriate techniques and the comparability between them.3. The stations selected should reflect, where possible, the different types of urbanization, topography and climatology, as well as the different pollution levels prevailing upon the territory of the Member State concerned.4. Where a station selected under Decision 75/441/EEC has ceased, or ceases, to operate, the Member State concerned shall endeavour to select another suitable station and shall, if they are available, provide the relevant data for at least the two preceding years.5. All stations and pollutants which are added under this system of reciprocal exchange, all changes in the measurement techniques utilized and all other relevant changes shall be communicated to the Commission by means of the Description Form contained in Annex II. 1. The measurement results for each pollutant shall be expressed in accordance with Annex I and shall be transmitted to the Commission in a fixed and previously agreed format as quickly as possible and, at the latest, within six months of the end of the annual measurement period.2. The Commission shall insert all information and data received by Member States in the computer files and shall prepare tabular presentations for the use of the Member State concerned, if so requested.3. The data should normally be transmitted on magnetic tape, accompanied by an interpretative print-out which contains tape density, code, tape labels, headers, trailers and a few blocks of data. In this case, the data accepted into the computer files of the Commission will be considered as correct.Data which are transmitted on forms and then accepted into the computer files shall be considered as provisional until the Member State concerned notifies the Commission that these data are correct. 1. Member States shall endeavour to:    - inform the Commission of any known programmes or studies on the intercomparison of equipment, measurement methods or reference materials which are planned or being conducted on their territory,- make available to the Commission sufficient numbers of any relevant reports relating to such programmes or studies,- suggest any laboratories with the requisite experience or facilities to participate in intercomparison programmes.The Commission shall distribute such information to all Member States.2. On the basis of the information referred to in paragraph 1 and all other relevant information, the Commission shall examine, in consultation with the Member States, the need for and scope of all intercomparison programmes to be proposed by it. Such programmes, which are designed with a view to improving the comparability of data, may include, as appropriate, equipment and methods of sampling and analysis as well as the reference materials which are used for the relevant pollutants. The Commission shall prepare annual reports on the operation of this reciprocal exchange, in an appropriate presentation, defined in consultation with the National Coordinators, on the basis of the data referred to herein and all other relevant information made available to it. These reports shall be distributed to the Member States and then published by the Commission. Decision 75/441/EEC shall be repealed as from 1 October 1982.

42098,"2013/503/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 11 October 2013 recognising parts of the Union as free from varroosis in bees and establishing additional guarantees required in intra-Union trade and imports for the protection of their varroosis-free status (notified under document C(2013) 6599)  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Union of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to the animal health requirements laid down in the specific acts of the Union referred to in Annex F thereto.(2) Varroasis in bees is listed in Annex B to Directive 92/65/EEC. It is caused by ectoparasitic mites of the genus Varroa and has been reported worldwide.(3) Article 15 of Directive 92/65/EEC provides that, where a Member State considers that its territory or part of its territory is free from one of the diseases listed in in Annex B thereto, it is to submit to the Commission appropriate documentation, on the basis of which a Decision is to be adopted.(4) Varroasis spreads through movement of bee brood and direct contact between infested adult bees. The latter is only possible within the bee’s fly range. Consequently, only territories where the movement of bee hives and brood can be controlled and which are geographically isolated enough to prevent the migration of bees from the outside can be recognised as disease-free. Moreover, the competent authorities must prove through extended surveillance results that the region is indeed free from varroosis and that, to maintain the status, the introduction of live bees and brood is strictly controlled.(5) Finland has asked the Commission to recognise the Åland Islands as a part of its territory that is free from varroosis. Article 355(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that the provisions of the Treaties are to apply to the Åland Islands in accordance with the provisions set out in Protocol 2 to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden.(6) The Åland Islands are a group of islands situated between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Baltic Sea and they are therefore geographically sufficiently separated from potentially varroosis-infected areas.(7) Varroosis is a notifiable disease in the Åland Islands and no capped brood and hatched, adult live honey bees can be moved from mainland Finland to the Åland Islands. Finland has for several years observed the island’s bee population. On the basis of that surveillance Finland can now confirm the absence of the disease on the Åland Islands. As a result, that part of the Finnish territory can be considered free from that disease.(8) The additional guarantees required in trade should therefore be defined, taking into account the measures already put in place by Finland in its national legislation.(9) To establish the preconditions for the model health certificates for intra-Union movements of live bees between territories of the Union free of Varroa, an additional certification should be established in the health certificate set out in Part 2 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC. Moreover, the local veterinary unit of the varroosis-free area or areas should be identified with a TRACES Code in accordance with Commission Decision 2009/821/EC (2).(10) The introduction of live bees into the Union is only authorised under the conditions provided for in Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (3). In addition to the requirements laid down in that Regulation, in order to protect the varroosis-free status of the territories recognised as such, it is appropriate to prohibit the introduction of consignments of queen bees and their accompanying attendants into the Union, where the declared final destination of the consignments is a varroosis-free territory.(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,. The Member States or territories thereof listed in the third column of the table set out in the Annex are recognised as free from varroosis. 1.   The Member States listed in the Annex shall ensure that in the territories listed in the third column of the table set out in the Annex, the following conditions are complied with:(a) varroosis is compulsorily notifiable under national law;(b) regular surveillance is carried out to substantiate the absence of ectoparasitic mites of the genus Varroa.2.   The Member States listed in the Annex shall report the results of the surveillance referred to in paragraph 1(b) to the Commission by 31 May each year.3.   The Member States listed in the Annex shall notify, without delay, to the Commission and to the other Member States the detection of ectoparasitic mites of the genus Varroa in the territories listed in the third column of the table set out in the Annex. 1.   The introduction of consignments of the commodities listed in the fifth column of the table set out in the Annex into the territories listed in the third column of that table shall be prohibited.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the introduction of the commodities listed in the fifth column of the table in the Annex into the territories listed in the third column of that table shall be authorised where the following conditions are complied with:(a) the commodities originate in another Member State or territory thereof recognised as free from varroasis pursuant to Article 15(2) of Directive 92/65/EEC;(b) the consignments are accompanied by an health certificate drawn up in accordance with the health certificate set out in Part 2 of Annex E to Directive 92/65/EEC, in which the following information shall be added in Part II.2:(c) every precaution was taken to avoid contamination with varroosis of the consignments during transport. 1.   Member States shall not authorise the introduction of consignments of bees referred to in Article 7(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 206/2010 into the Union, where their final destination, as indicated in box references I.9, I.10 or I.12 of the health certificate accompanying the consignments, is a territory listed in the third column of the table set out in the Annex.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1 and subject to the health requirements for imports laid down in Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, Member States may authorise the introduction into the Union of the consignments referred to in paragraph 1, provided that their final destination is changed to a territory not listed in the third column of the table set out in the Annex.

32445,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/2006 of  30 May 2006  opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening ( 1 July 2006  to  30 June 2007 ). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) The WTO schedule CXL requires the Community to open an annual import tariff quota for 169 000 head of young male bovine animals for fattening. However, as a result of negotiations which led to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 (2), approved by Council Decision 2006/333/EC (3), the Community undertook to incorporate in its schedule for all Member States an adjustment of that import tariff quota.(2) It is appropriate to lay down in the detailed rules for the management of this tariff quota that for the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 the available quantity should be phased over the year in a suitable manner within the meaning of Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.(3) In view of the forthcoming entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, without prejudice to Article 39 of that Treaty, and in order to enable operators of those countries to benefit from this quota as of the date of their accession, the quota period should be divided into two sub-periods and the quantity available under this quota should be staggered over these periods, taking into account the traditional trade patterns between the Community and the supplier countries within this quota.(4) In order to provide a more equal access to the quota while ensuring a commercially viable number of animals per application, each application of import licences should respect a minimum and a maximum number of heads.(5) With a view to preventing speculation, the quantities available within the quota should be made accessible to operators able to show that they are genuinely engaged in import of a significant scale from third countries. In consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, the traders concerned should be required to have imported a minimum of 50 animals during the period from 1 May 2005 to 30 April 2006 given that a consignment of 50 animals may be considered to be a commercial viable consignment.(6) To enable such criteria to be checked, applications should be presented in the Member State where the importer is entered in a VAT register.(7) In order to prevent speculation, importers no longer involved in trade in live bovine animals at 1 January 2006 should be denied access to the quota and licences should not be transferable.(8) Provision should be made for quantities for which licence applications may be requested to be allocated after a period of consideration and, where appropriate, once a uniform allocation coefficient has been applied.(9) The arrangements should be managed using import licences. To this end, rules should be laid down on the submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, where necessary by addition to or by way of derogation from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4) and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5).(10) Experience shows that a proper management of the quota also requires that the titular holder of the licence is a genuine importer. Therefore, such importer should actively participate in the purchase, transport and import of the animals concerned. Presentation of proof of those activities should thus also be a primary requirement with regard to the licence security, within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products (6).(11) With a view to ensuring a strict statistical control of the animals imported under the quota, the tolerance referred to in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 should not apply.(12) The application of this tariff quota requires effective checks on the specific destination of the imported animals. The animals should therefore be fattened in the Member State which has issued the import licence.(13) A security should be lodged to ensure that the animals are fattened for at least 120 days in designated production units. The amount of the security should cover the difference between the Common Customs Tariff duty and the reduced duty applicable on the date of release for free circulation of the animals in question.(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. 1.   A tariff quota for 24 070 young male bovine animals falling within CN code 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49 and intended for fattening in the Community is hereby opened for the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007.This tariff quota shall have the order number 09.4005.2.   The customs import duty applicable under the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 16 % ad valorem plus EUR 582 per tonne net.The rate of duty provided for in the first subparagraph shall apply on condition that the imported animals are fattened for at least 120 days in the Member State which has issued the import licence.3.   The quantities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be staggered as follows:(a) 12 035 live bovine animals for the period from 1 July 2006 to 31 December 2006;(b) 12 035 live bovine animals for the period from 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007.4.   If, during the period mentioned in paragraph 3(a), the quantity covered by licence applications submitted is less than the quantity available for that period, the remaining quantity of that period will be added to the quantity available for the period mentioned in paragraph 3(b). 1.   To be eligible for the quota provided for in Article 1, applicants must be natural or legal persons and must prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, at the time they submit their applications for import licences, that they have imported at least 50 animals covered by CN code 0102 90 during the period from 1 May 2005 to 30 April 2006.Subject to the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007, operators in those countries may apply for import licences in relation to the quantity available for the second sub-period of this quota as referred to in Article 1(3)(b), provided they have imported at least 50 animals covered by CN code 0102 90 during the period from 1 May 2005 to 30 April 2006.Applicants must be listed in a national VAT register.2.   Proof of import shall be furnished exclusively by means of the customs document of release for free circulation, duly endorsed by the customs authorities and containing a reference to the applicant concerned as being the consignee.Member States may accept copies of the document referred to in the first subparagraph, duly certified by the competent authority. Where such copies are accepted, notification thereof shall be made in the communication from Member States referred to in Article 3(5) in respect of each applicant concerned.3.   Operators who at 1 January 2006 have ceased their activities in trade with third countries in the beef and veal sector shall not qualify for any application.4.   A company formed by the merger of companies each having reference imports complying with the minimum quantity referred to in paragraph 1 may use those reference imports as a basis for its application. 1.   Applications for import licences may be submitted only in the Member State in which the applicant is registered for VAT purposes.2.   Applications for import licences per each period referred to in Article 1(3):(a) must cover at least 50 animals;(b) may not cover more than 5 % of the quantity available.Where applications exceed the quantity referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph, the excess shall be disregarded.3.   Applications for import licences for the period referred to in Article 1(3)(a) shall be submitted during the 10 working days following the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.Applications for import licences for the period as referred to in Article 1(3)(b) shall be submitted during the first 10 working days of that period.4.   Applicants may lodge no more than one application each per period referred to in Article 1(3). Where the same applicant lodges more than one application, all applications from that applicant shall be inadmissible.5.   After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission, by the 5th working day following the end of the period for the submission of applications at the latest, the list of applicants and their addresses as well as the quantities applied for.All notifications, including ‘nil’ returns, shall be forwarded by fax or e-mail using the model form in Annex I in cases where applications have actually been submitted. 1.   Following the notification referred to in Article 3(5), the Commission shall decide as soon as possible to which extent the applications can be met.2.   If the quantities covered by applications as referred to in Article 3 exceed those available for the period in question, the Commission shall fix a single allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for.Where application of the allocation coefficient provided for in the first subparagraph gives a figure of less than 50 head per application, the quantity available shall be awarded by the Member States concerned by drawing lots for import rights covering 50 head each. Where the remainder lot is less than 50 head it shall be considered a single lot.3.   Licences shall be issued as soon as possible subject to the Commission's decision regarding acceptance of the applications. 1.   Import licences shall be issued on the name of the operator who submitted the application.2.   Licence applications and licences shall show the following:(a) in box 8, the country of origin;(b) in box 16, one or several of the following Combined Nomenclature code: 0102 90 05, 0102 90 29 or 0102 90 49;(c) in box 20, the order number of the quota (09.4005) and one of the endorsements provided for in Annex II. 1.   By way of derogation from Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation shall not be transferable and shall confer rights under the tariff quotas only if made out in the same name and address as the one entered as consignee in the customs declaration of release for free circulation accompanying them.2.   By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 import licences shall be valid for 180 days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 4(3) of this Regulation. No import licences shall be valid after 30 June 2007.3.   The security relating to the import licence shall be EUR 15 per head and shall be lodged by the applicant together with the licence application.4.   Licences issued shall be valid throughout the Community.5.   Pursuant to Article 50(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the full Common Customs Tariff duty applicable on the date of acceptance of the customs declaration for free circulation shall be collected in respect of all quantities imported in excess of those shown on the import licence.6.   By way of derogation from the provisions of Section 4 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the security shall not be released until proof has been produced that the titular holder of the licence has been commercially and logistically responsible for the purchase, transport and clearance for free circulation of the animals concerned. Such proof shall at least consist of:(a) the original commercial invoice or an authenticated copy made out in the name of the titular holder by the seller or his representative, both established in the third country of export, and proof of payment by the titular holder or the opening by the titular holder of an irrevocable documentary credit in favour of the seller;(b) the bill of lading or, where applicable, the road or air transport document, drawn up in the name of the titular holder, for the animals concerned;(c) proof that the goods have been declared for release for free circulation with the indication of the name and address of the titular holder as consignee. 1.   At the time of import, the importer shall provide proof that he has:(a) given a written undertaking to inform within one month the competent authority of the Member State of the farm or farms where the young bovine animals are to be fattened;(b) lodged a security of an amount as laid down for each eligible CN code in Annex III with the competent authority of the Member State. The fattening of the imported animals in that Member State for at least 120 days from the date of acceptance of the customs declaration of release for free circulation is a primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85.2.   Except in cases of force majeure, the security referred to paragraph 1(b) shall be released only if proof is furnished to the competent authority of the Member State that the young bovine animals:(a) have been fattened on the farm or farms indicated pursuant to paragraph 1;(b) have not been slaughtered before a period of 120 days from the date of import has elapsed; or(c) have been slaughtered for health reasons or have died as a result of sickness or accident before that period has elapsed.The security shall be released immediately after such proof has been furnished.However, where the time-limit referred to in paragraph 1(a) has not been observed, the security to be released shall be reduced by:— 15 %, and by— 2 % of the remaining amount for each day by which it has been exceeded.The amounts not released shall be forfeited and retained as customs duties.3.   If the proof referred to in paragraph 2 is not furnished within 180 days from the date of import, the security shall be forfeited and retained as customs duty.However, if such proof is not furnished within the period of 180 days provided for in the first subparagraph but is produced within six months following that period, the amount forfeited, less 15 % of the security, shall be repaid. Regulations (EC) No 1291/2000 and (EC) No 1445/95 shall apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation. 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..

It recommended that the Commission take further steps to control the use of hair dye substances.(2) The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products further recommended an overall safety assessment strategy for hair dye substances including the requirements for testing substances used in hair dye products for their potential genotoxicity/mutagenicity.(3) Following the opinions of the SCCP, the Commission, together with Member States and stakeholders, agreed on an overall strategy to regulate substances used in hair dye products, according to which the industry was required to submit files containing the scientific data on hair dye substances to be evaluated by the SCCP.(4) Substances for which no updated safety files are submitted allowing an adequate risk assessment should be included in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC.(5) Some hair dye substances have already been banned, either as a result of opinions by the SCCP or due to lack of safety data. The substances currently under consideration were carefully selected to be regulated together since they are listed in Annex IV. As no safety files on these substances for their use in hair dye products were submitted to the SCCP for a risk assessment by the agreed deadlines, there is no evidence that these substances, when used in hair dye products, can be considered safe for human health.(6) Substances without safety files 1-Hydroxy-2,4-diaminobenzene (2,4-Diaminophenol) and its dihydrochloride salt; 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene (Hydroquinone); [4-[[4-anilino-1-naphthyl][4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]methylene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]dimethylammoniumchloride (Basic Blue 26); Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulpho-nate (Ponceau SX) and 4-[(4-Aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-o-toluidine and its hydrochloride salt (Basic Violet 14), currently listed as colorants in Annex IV and as hair dye substances in Annex III, Part 1 and Part 2, shall be deleted from Annex III and banned for use in hair dye products in Annex II.(7) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,. Annexes II and III to Directive 76/768/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 14 February 2009 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 14 August 2009.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

The ESA of 1995 (ESA95), superseding two earlier systems of 1970 and 1979 respectively, was established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (3), and was set out in the Annex thereto. GNI, as used in ESA95, replaced GNP as a criterion for own resource purposes, with effect from budget year 2002.(2) Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) 1287/2003 lays down the procedures for the forwarding of GNI data by Member States and the procedures and checks on the calculation of GNI, and establishes the GNI Committee.(3) For the purpose of the definition of gross national income at market prices (GNI) pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003, it is necessary to clarify the ESA95 definition of economic territory.(4) For the purpose of implementation of Article 1 of Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom on the harmonisation of the compilation of gross national product at market prices (4), the economic territory of Member States is defined by Commission Decision 91/450/EEC, Euratom (5). The equivalent definition should now be provided in respect of GNI.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the GNI Committee.. For the purposes of Regulation (EC, Euratom) 1287/2003 the term ‘economic territory’ shall have the meaning attributed to it in paragraphs 2.05 and 2.06 of Annex A to Regulation (EC) 2223/96, the term ‘geographic territory’ as used in those paragraphs being understood to comprise the Member States’ territories as listed in the Annex to this Regulation.

24963,"2003/129/EC: Commission Decision of 25 February 2003 amending Decision 98/83/EC recognising certain third countries and certain areas of third countries as being free of Xanthomonas campestris (all strains pathogenic to Citrus), Cercospora angolensis Carv. et Mendes and Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus) (notified under document number C(2003) 600). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community(1), as last amended by Directive 2002/89/EC(2), and in particular point 16.2 of Part A of Annex IV thereto,Whereas:(1) Point 16.2 of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC lays down specific provisions as regards the import into the Community of fruits of Citrus L., Fortunella Swingle, Poncirus Raf., and their hybrids, originating in third countries where Xanthomonas campestris (all strains pathogenic to Citrus) (hereinafter: Xanthomonas campestris), is known to occur.(2) Commission Decision 98/83/EC of 8 January 1998 recognising certain third countries and certain areas of third countries as being free of Xanthomonas campestris (all strains pathogenic to Citrus), Cercospora angolensis Carv. et Mendes and Guignardia citricarpa Kiely (all strains pathogenic to Citrus)(3), as last amended by Decision 2001/440/EC(4), provides for certain areas of third countries to be recognised as being free of Xanthomonas campestris.(3) Decision 98/83/EC recognises certain States of Argentina as being free of Xanthomonas campestris. However, on the basis of information submitted by Argentina, a number of those States can no longer be recognised as being free of that harmful organism.(4) On the basis of information submitted by the United States of America, it appears that new infestations of Xanthomonas campestris have been detected in different counties in Florida. Therefore, Florida should no longer be recognised as being free of that harmful organism.(5) Specific arrangement should be made for citrus in transit for which the official statement laid down by point 16.2 of Section I of Part A of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC has been issued before the date of notification of this Decision to the competent authorities in Argentina and the United States of America.(6) Decision 98/83/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. In Decision 98/83/EC, Article 2 is amended as follows:(a) the first indent is deleted;(b) the fourth indent is replaced by the following:""- in the United States of America: Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, Louisiana, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Texas and the United States Virgin Islands,"".

4124,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1289/2005 of 4 August 2005 initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 408/2002 on imports of certain zinc oxides originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of certain zinc oxides consigned from Kazakhstan, whether declared as originating in Kazakhstan 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 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation) (1) and in particular Articles 13(3), 14(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 certain zinc oxides originating in the People's Republic of China.(2) The request has been lodged on 27 June 2005 by Eurometaux on behalf of producers representing more than 45 % of the Community production of certain zinc oxides.B.   PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is zinc oxide (chemical formula ZnO) with a purity of not less than 93 % zinc oxide originating in the People's Republic of China, normally declared under CN code 2817 00 00 (the product concerned). This code is given for information only.(4) The product under investigation is zinc oxide (chemical formula ZnO) with a purity of not less than 93 % zinc oxide consigned from Kazakhstan (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same codes as the product concerned.C.   EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are antidumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 408/2002 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1623/2003 (3).D.   GROUNDS(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence, that the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain zinc oxides originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via Kazakhstan of certain zinc oxides.(7) The evidence submitted is as follows:The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Kazakhstan to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, and that there is 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 certain zinc oxides originating in the People's Republic of China via Kazakhstan.Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of certain zinc oxides from Kazakhstan appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned.Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of certain zinc oxides are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for certain zinc oxides.Should circumvention practices via Kazakhstan 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 certain zinc oxides consigned from Kazakhstan, whether declared as originating in Kazakhstan 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 Kazakhstan, 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 co-operated in the investigation that led to the existing measures and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China and Kazakhstan 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 in order to 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 and Kazakhstan 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 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 Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.(14) In consideration of the fact that an exemption may only be granted to companies which can be treated individually, producers wishing to obtain an exemption should demonstrate that they meet the criteria for individual treatment indicated in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation. For this purpose, duly substantiated claims should be submitted on the basis of claim forms provided by the Commission, and within the specific time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.(15) As stated above, should circumvention practices via Kazakhstan 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. Insofar as assembly practices may be identified, it would be necessary, in making an examination of the assembly operation in accordance with the provisions of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation, to determine whether the company claiming the exemption operates under market economy conditions i.e. that they meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation. For this purpose, duly substantiated claims should be submitted on the basis of claim forms provided by the Commission, and within the specific time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F.   REGISTRATION(16) 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 certain zinc oxides consigned from Kazakhstan.G.   TIME LIMITS(17) 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 Kazakhstan may request exemption from registration of imports or measures, and submit duly substantiated claim forms for (i) individual treatment pursuant to Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and (ii) demonstrating that the company operates under market economy conditions, i.e. that they meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation. The latter claim form is only required to be submitted by companies involved in assembly operations,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(18) 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(19) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, 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.(20) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated,. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of certain zinc oxide (chemical formula: ZnO) with a purity of not less than 93 % zinc oxide, falling within CN code 2817 00 00 (TARIC code 2817000013) consigned from Kazakhstan whether declared as originating in Kazakhstan or not, are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 408/2002. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 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 or other claim forms should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from 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 Kazakhstan requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within 40 days of the date of publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Substantiated claims for individual treatment and, as appropriate, claims that the company operates under market economy conditions, should also be submitted within the same 40-day deadline.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 exemption 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 telephone 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’ (4) 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 CommissionDirectorate General for TradeDirectorate BOffice: J-79 5/16B-1049 BrusselsFax (+ 322) 295 65 05 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..

29402,"2005/259/: Council Decision of 14 March 2005 authorising the Republic of Cyprus to apply a measure derogating from Article 11 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax; uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) In a letter registered by the Commission’s Secretariat-General on 11 November 2004, the Republic of Cyprus sought authorisation for a measure in existence prior to accession to the European Union and which derogates from Article 11(A)(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC.(2) The measure requiring a derogation is intended to counter tax avoidance through the manipulation of the value of supplies subject to value added tax (VAT).(3) The measure should apply only in cases where the administration is able, based on the facts, to conclude that the determination of the taxable amount provided for in Article 11(A)(1)(a) of the said Directive is influenced by family, legal or business ties between the supplier and the recipient. In this matter the administration should not act on mere presumptions, and the parties concerned should be allowed to adduce evidence to the contrary where they dispute the level of the open market value established by the administration.(4) The measure is strictly targeted so that it can only be invoked when a series of conditions have been met and an absolute tax loss identified; and is therefore proportionate to the aim pursued.(5) Similar derogations have been granted to other Member States to counter tax avoidance and have been found to be effective.(6) This derogation will safeguard the amount of VAT due at the final consumption stage and has no negative impact on the Communities’ own resources from VAT,. By way of derogation from Article 11(A)(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Republic of Cyprus is hereby authorised to use the open market value as the taxable amount of a supply in the circumstances described in Article 2. The open market value may be applied only when all the following conditions are met:1. The consideration paid is less than the open market value of the supply;2. The recipient of the supply does not have a right to deduct in full;3. The person making the supply and the recipient are connected by family, business or legal ties, as defined in national legislation;4. A number of facts make it possible to conclude that these family, business or legal ties have influenced the determination of the taxable amount provided for in Article 11(A)(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC. The authorisation granted under Article 1 shall expire on the date of entry into force of a Directive rationalising the derogations pursuant to Article 27 of Directive 77/388/EEC which counter avoidance of VAT through the valuation of supplies between connected persons, or on the 1 June 2009, whichever is the earlier.

40016,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 704/2011 of 20 July 2011 approving the active substance azimsulfuron, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 of 27 June 2007 on laying down the procedure for the renewal of the inclusion of a first group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. Azimsulfuron is listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 737/2007.(2) The approval of azimsulfuron, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (4), expires on 31 December 2011. A notification was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 for the renewal of the inclusion of azimsulfuron in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within the time period provided for in that Article.(3) That notification was found to be admissible by Commission Decision 2008/656/EC of 28 July 2008 on the admissibility of the notifications concerning the renewal of the inclusion in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances azimsulfuron, azoxystrobin, fluroxypyr, imazalil, kresoxim-methyl, prohexadione and spiroxamine, and establishing the list of the notifiers concerned (5).(4) Within the time period provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007, the notifier submitted the data required in accordance with that Article together with an explanation as regards the relevance of each new study submitted.(5) The rapporteur Member State prepared an assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 1 June 2009. In addition to the assessment of the active substance, that report includes a list of the studies the rapporteur Member State relied on for its assessment.(6) The Authority communicated the assessment report to the notifier and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the assessment report available to the public.(7) At the request of the Commission, the assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the Authority. The Authority presented its conclusion on the peer review of the risk assessment of azimsulfuron (6) to the Commission on 12 March 2010. The assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for azimsulfuron.(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing azimsulfuron may be expected to continue to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve azimsulfuron.(9) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions not provided for in the first inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) Based on the review report, which points out that the manufacturing impurity phenol is of toxicological concern, a maximum level of 2 g/kg should, however, be set for that impurity in the technical material.(11) From the new data submitted, it appears that azimsulfuron and its degradation products in aqueous photolysis may cause risks for aquatic organisms. Without prejudice to the conclusion that azimsulfuron should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.(12) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(13) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing azimsulfuron. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(14) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(15) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.(16) In the interest of clarity, Commission Directive 2010/54/EU of 20 August 2010 amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC to renew the inclusion of azimsulfuron as active substance (8) should be repealed.(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,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance azimsulfuron, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing azimsulfuron as an active substance by 30 June 2012.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Article 13(1) to (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing azimsulfuron as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product still satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing azimsulfuron as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing azimsulfuron as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.

That Decision established certain additional disease control measures concerning that disease.(2) The classical swine fever situation in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has significantly improved. Therefore, the measures adopted by Decision 2003/526/EC in relation with North Rhine-Westphalia should no longer apply.(3) In Slovakia, a case of classical swine fever has recently been detected in feral pigs in the district of Veľký Krtíš, which previously was not concerned by the disease. Therefore, Decision 2003/526/EC should be amended to take account of the epidemiology situation in that Member State.(4) In the light of the overall disease situation in France, Germany and Luxembourg by classical swine fever, it is appropriate to extend the validity of Decision 2003/526/EC.(5) Decision 2003/526/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(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,.

4649,"2008/577/EC: Commission Decision of 4 July 2008 accepting the undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia and Ukraine. ,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 8 and 9 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   PROCEDURE(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2022/95 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia (the product concerned). Pursuant to a further investigation, which established that the duty was being absorbed, the measures were amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 663/98 (3). Following a request for an expiry and an interim review pursuant to Articles 11(2) and 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Council imposed by Regulation (EC) No 658/2002 (4) a definitive anti-dumping duty of EUR 47,07 per tonne on imports of ammonium nitrate falling within CN codes 3102 30 90 and 3102 40 90 and originating in Russia.(2) By Regulation (EC) No 132/2001 (5), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty of EUR 33,25 per tonne on imports of the product concerned originating in Ukraine. Following an expiry review initiated in January 2006, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 442/2007 (6), renewed these measures at their current level for two years.(3) By Regulation (EC) No 993/2004 (7), the Council provided for the exemption from the anti-dumping duties of imports into the new Member States that acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (the EU-10) made under the terms of special undertakings (enlargement undertakings), and authorised the Commission to accept those enlargement undertakings. On this basis, the Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1001/2004 (8), accepted three enlargement undertakings offered by the Russian exporting producers Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC) Mineral and Chemical Company ‘Eurochem’, member of the Eurochem group of companies, and JSC Acron and JSC Dorogobuzh, members of ‘Acron’ Holding Company ‘Acron’, and Ukrainian exporting producer, Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC) Azot Cherkassy ‘Cherkassy’.(4) By Regulation (EC) No 1996/2004 (9), the Commission accepted a new undertaking from the exporting producers mentioned above until 20 May 2005.(5) By Regulation (EC) No 945/2005 (10), following an interim review limited in scope to the definition of the product concerned, the Council decided that the definition of the product concerned should be clarified and that the measures in force should also apply to the product concerned when incorporated in other fertilizers, in proportion to their content of ammonium nitrate, together with other marginal substances and nutrients.(6) On 30 November 2005, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (11), the initiation of a partial interim review concerning imports into the Community of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia upon request of Eurochem.(7) On 19 December 2006, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (12), the initiation of a partial interim review concerning imports into the Community of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia upon the request of Acron.(8) On 19 December 2006, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (13), the initiation of a partial interim review concerning imports into the Community of ammonium nitrate originating in Ukraine upon the request of Cherkassy.(9) The definitive findings and conclusions of the partial interim review concerning Acron and Cherkassy are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 236/2008 (14) and Council Regulation (EC) No 237/2008 (15). During the interim reviews Acron and Cherkassy expressed an interest in offering a price undertaking but failed to submit a duly substantiated offer within the deadline as set out in Article 8(2) of the basic Regulation. However, as stated in the above mentioned Council Regulations, the Council considered that both companies should exceptionally be allowed to complete their undertaking offers within 10 calendar days from entry into force of that Regulation due to reasons set out in recitals 61 and 62 of Regulation (EC) No 236/2008 and recitals 46 and 47 of Regulation (EC) No 237/2008. Subsequent of the publication of the above mentioned Council Regulations and within the deadline as set out in those Regulations, Acron and Cherkassy submitted acceptable price undertakings in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.(10) The definitive findings and conclusions of the partial interim review concerning Eurochem are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 2008/661/EC (16) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia. During the course of the investigation Eurochem has submitted an acceptable price undertaking within the Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.(11) These measures were maintained by Regulation 2008/661/EC following an expiry review initiated on 14 April 2007 (17).B.   UNDERTAKINGS(12) In the framework of these partial interim reviews, the exporting producers offered undertakings in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation. In these undertakings, the exporting producers offered to sell the product concerned at or above price levels which eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. In addition, the offers made provide for the indexation of the minimum prices in accordance with public international quotations of the product concerned, given that the prices of the product concerned vary significantly. The exporting producers also offered to respect a certain quantitative ceiling in order to avoid that their imports could influence the prices in France or in the United Kingdom. Those prices serve as a basis for the indexation. The level of the quantitative ceilings is set in total around 12 % of the total Community consumption of the product concerned.(13) Moreover, the exporting producers — in order to reduce the risk of price violations by means of cross-compensation of the prices — offered not to sell the product covered by the undertakings to the same customers in the European Community to which they sell other products, with the exception of certain other products for which the exporting producers undertake to respect specific price regimes.(14) The exporting producers will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the Community, meaning that the undertakings can be monitored effectively by the Commission. Furthermore, the sales structures of the exporting producers are such that the Commission considers that the risk of circumventing the undertakings is limited.(15) Subsequent to the disclosure of the undertaking offers, the Community industry objected to these undertaking offers. The Community industry argued that the prices of the product concerned are volatile and that an indexation of the minimum import prices based on the quoted prices of the product concerned is not workable under all market conditions, in particular it would not be workable in a supply driven market. Therefore, the Community industry suggested to base the indexation of the minimum prices on the prices of natural gas as quoted at Waidhaus. However, in this regard it has to be noted that a natural gas price based indexation is not considered to be feasible in these cases due to the poor correlation of the product concerned and natural gas prices. As concerns the Community industry’s comments that on a supply driven market the current indexation formula will not be workable, it is noted that the Commission will monitor these undertakings and should prima facie evidence exist that these undertakings are no longer workable, the Commission should act expeditiously to remedy the situation, as set out in recital 19.(16) The Community industry further argued that the level of the quantitative ceilings would be too high and requested it to be set maximum at 4 % of total Community consumption. It claimed that the companies would be able to influence the prices on the Community market with the amounts mentioned in recital 12 and thus make the indexation of the minimum prices unworkable. In this respect it should be noted that the quantitative ceiling was established at a level which was considered to (i) satisfactorily limit the risk of companies influencing the prices on the UK and French market thus rendering the indexation formula unworkable (ii) be sufficiently high so that so that the undertakings remain practicable at the same time. Moreover, the Community industry failed to substantiate its argument as to how any quantity exceeding 4 % of the total Community consumption would be sufficient to have a detrimental impact on prices.(17) The Community industry proposed moreover the introduction of a ‘progressive quantitative ceiling’ whereby the quantitative ceiling of each exporting producer shall be increased on a yearly basis depending on them respecting the terms of the undertakings. This suggestion is however rejected because the sole aim of the quantitative ceilings is to limit the risk of influencing the prices on which the indexation of minimum price is based. It should also be noted that in case of a breach of the undertaking, the acceptance of the undertaking as such may be withdrawn.(18) Furthermore, the Community industry argued that because the exporting producers can sell other products together with the product covered by the undertaking to the same customers in the European Community, there is a high risk of cross-compensation, i.e. the products not covered by the undertaking may be sold at artificially low prices in order to compensate the minimum prices for the products covered by the undertaking. In this regard, it should be noted, as indicated in recital 13, the undertaking contains specific clauses in order to limit the risk of cross-compensation. Therefore, the concerns of the Community industry have been sufficiently addressed.(19) In view of the above, the undertakings offered by the Russian and Ukrainian exporting producers are acceptable.(20) However, due to the special elements of these undertakings (i.e. in particular the indexation formula) the Commission will assess the practicability of these undertakings regularly. For its practicability assessment, the Commission will take into account, but is not restricted to, the following criteria: the prices of the product concerned in the French and the UK market; the level of the coefficient of the indexation formula; the sales prices of the exporting producer as reported by them in their quarterly sales reports; profitability of the Community industry. In particular, should this practicability assessment show that the decrease of the profitability of the Community industry is attributable to the undertakings, the Commission endeavours to withdraw the acceptance of the undertakings expeditiously in accordance with Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation.(21) In order to enable the Commission to monitor effectively the companies’ compliance with the undertakings, when the request for release into free circulation is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the anti-dumping duty will be conditional on (i) the presentation of an undertaking invoice containing at least the elements listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2008/661/EC and in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 2008/662/EC (18); (ii) the fact that imported goods are manufactured, shipped and invoiced directly by the said companies to the first independent customer in the Community; and (iii) the fact that the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the description on the undertaking invoice. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty shall instead be payable.(22) To further ensure the respect of these undertakings, importers have been made aware by the Regulation (EC) No 2008/661/EC and by Regulation (EC) No 2008/662/EC that the non-fulfillment of the conditions provided for by those Regulations, or the withdrawal by the Commission of the acceptance of the undertaking, may lead to the customs debt being incurred for the relevant transactions.(23) In the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or in case of withdrawal of acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission, the anti-dumping duty imposed in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation shall automatically apply pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation,. The undertaking offered by the exporting producers mentioned below in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia and Ukraine are hereby accepted.Country Companies Taric additional codeRussia Produced by OJSC NAK Azot, Novomoskovsk, Russia, or OJSC Nevinnomyssky Azot, Nevinnomyssk, Russia, and either sold directly to the first independent customer in the Community or by Eurochem Trading GmbH, Zug, Switzerland or via Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC) Mineral and Chemical Company ‘Eurochem’, Moscow, Russia and Eurochem Trading GmbH, Zug, Switzerland, to the first independent customer in the Community A522Russia JSC Acron, Veliky Novgorod, Russia and JSC Dorogobuzh, Dorogobuzh, Russia, members of ‘Acron’ Holding Company A532Ukraine Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC) Azot Cherkassy, Ukraine A521 This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union..

5572,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 1149/2012 of 4 December 2012 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of extracts of rosemary (E 392) in fillings of stuffed dry pasta  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) and Article 30(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) That list may be amended in accordance with the procedure referred to in 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).(3) Pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Union list of food additives may be updated either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.(4) An application for authorisation of the use of extracts of rosemary (E 392) as an antioxidant in fillings of stuffed dry pasta was submitted and has been made available to the Member States.(5) Antioxidants are substances which protect food against deterioration caused by oxidation, such as fat rancidity and colour changes. Extracts of rosemary (E 392) used in fillings of stuffed dry pasta improve the stability of fats and oils in the recipe (e.g. vegetable oil, fat in meat, cheese and dairy ingredients) during the whole product shelf life. The taste of filled dry pasta is more stable without organoleptic defects and off-notes caused by the fat oxidation.(6) The European Food Safety Authority assessed the use of rosemary extracts as a food additive (3). Based on the margins of safety identified using the NOAELs (4) from the different studies, in which generally the NOAELs were the highest dose levels tested, and using the conservative dietary exposure estimates it was concluded that the use of the rosemary extracts described in the scientific opinion at the proposed uses and use levels would not be of safety concern. The additional intake based on the new use in fillings of stuffed dry pasta does not significantly contribute to the overall intake. It is therefore appropriate to allow the use of extracts of rosemary (E 392) as an antioxidant in fillings of stuffed dry pasta.(7) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where the update in question is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the authorisation of use of extracts of rosemary (E 392) as an antioxidant in fillings of stuffed dry pasta constitutes an update of that list which is not liable to have an effect on human health, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.(8) Pursuant to the transitional provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1129/2011 of 11 November 2011 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing a Union list of food additives (5), Annex II establishing the Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and conditions of use applies from 1 June 2013. In order to allow the use of extracts of rosemary (E 392) in fillings of stuffed dry pasta before that date, it is necessary to specify an earlier date of application with regard to this use of that food additive.(9) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should 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,. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.(6) Ceftiofur should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(7) Hydroxyethylsalicylate and Xylazine hydrochloride should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(8) An adequate period should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,.

For environmental reasons, the level of phosphorus in animal feed is restricted and the digestibility and bioavailability of phosphorus is improved by making use of an enzyme such as phytase. It is therefore no longer appropriate to establish the maximum level as per 1 % of phosphorus but to establish the maximum level for complementary feed relative to a feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %.(7) Directive 2002/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) 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 I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive twelve months after the entry into force at the latest.

974,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 176/89 of 23 January 1989 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria or the Soviet Union. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted after consultations within the Advisory Committee set up by that Regulation,Whereas:A. Procedure(1) In March 1984, the Commission opened an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria (2). In October 1984, the Commission accepted the undertaking offered by the Bulgarian firm Chimimport (3) and terminated the investigation in February 1985 (4).In August 1986 the Commission initiated a review of the anti-dumping measures which had been in force since 1983 (5), concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in the Soviet Union (6). In August 1987, the Commission accepted the price undertaking offered by the Soviet firm Sojuzchimexport, under the anti-dumping proceeding mentioned above (7) and terminated the investigation (8).In May 1988, the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (Cefic) submitted allegations to the Commission that these two undertakings were being breached. The Commission examined the information submitted to it and offered both exporters the opportunity to comment. No satisfactory explanation was given by either party. The Commission noted that the allegations against both exporters were supported by the official import statistics, and that neither of the exporters concerned contested these figures.(2) By Regulation (EEC) No 2386/88 (9), the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertakings offered by the Bulgarian firm Chimimport in October 1984 and by the Soviet firm Sojuzchimexport in August 1987 and, in the Community's interest, immediately imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria or the USSR.(3) At the same time, the Commission reopened the investigations concerning imports into the Community of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria or the Soviet Union (10).B. Further procedure(4) The Commission officially informed the exporters and importers known to be concerned and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(5) The Bulgarian firm Chimimport, the Soviet firm Sojuzchimexport and all the complainant Community manufacturers made known their views in writing.(6) The Commission collected and verified all the information it deemed necessary and carried out checks at the premises of the following firms:- La Cornubia SA, Bordeaux, France,- Manica SpA, Rovereto, Italy,- Quimigal, Lisbon, Portugal,- Industrias Químicas del Valles, Barcelona, Spain,- Incomet, Madrid, Spain.(7) The investigation into dumping covered the period from 1 July 1987 to 30 June 1988.C. Normal value(8) In seeking to establish once more whether imports of copper sulphate from Bulgaria and the Soviet Union were being dumped, the Commission had to take account of the fact that Bulgaria and the Soviet Union were not market economy countries, and it had therefore to base its calculations on the normal value of the product in a market economy country.(9) The Commission had initially decided to take Yugoslavia as the reference country in establishing normal value. However, the non-cooperation of the Yugoslav firm which was consulted made this solution impossible. In these circumstances, Cefic proposed Mexico as being an analogous country.(10) The Commission accepted Mexico as an analogous country since:- according to the facts available, there were no major differences in the technology and production processes for copper sulphate,- there was genuine competition in the manufacturing of copper sulphate, because there were at least five producers on the Mexican domestic market.(11) Normal value was calculated on the basis of prices charged on the Mexican domestic market. There was sufficient evidence to allow the Commission to establish that representative quantities of copper sulphate had been sold on the Mexican market during the reference period.D. Export prices(12) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.E. Comparison(13) For a valid comparison between normal value and export prices, the Commission took account where necessary of differences affecting price comparability where the existence of a direct link between the prices and sales in question was duly established. In particular, the Commission took account of differences in purity and copper content, in respect of which sufficient information was supplied by the Bulgarian and Soviet exporters. The Commission also took into account differences in credit, transport and insurance terms.(14) Normal value and export prices were compared at ex works level.F. Margins(15) This examination of the facts shows that imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria or the Soviet Union were being dumped. The dumping margins were calculated according to the difference between the normal value established and the price on export to the Community as a percentage of the total cif free-at-Community-frontier value, for each of the exporters. The resulting dumping margins are as follows:- Bulgaria: 81 %,- Soviet Union: 79 %.G. Injury(a) Volume and price of imports(16) As regards the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community of copper sulphate from Bulgaria and the Soviet Union rose between 1 July 1987 and 30 June 1988 by 229 % compared with the previous year. This increase brings their market share to 14,3 % over the reference period. This rise occurred despite the effect of the undertakings offered by the Bulgarian and Soviet exporters, acceptance of which was withdrawn by the Commission in Regulation (EEC) No 2386/88.(17) The prices of imports from both Bulgaria and the Soviet Union were lower than those charged by Community producers. Over the reference period, the prices charged by the two exporters concerned were on occasion below the price of copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME), yet the price of copper, the principal raw material, accounts for only about 70 % of the production cost of copper sulphate.(b) Impact on the Community industry(18) Over the period from 1 January to 30 June 1988 the Community industry's sales fell by approximately 10 % compared with the same period of the previous year, and its market share fell by about 15,5 %, leading to continued stagnation of capacity utilization at the low level of 64 %. In addition, the Community industry was unable to pass on in the price of copper sulphate the increase in the price of copper and in all the other production costs for the product, which have increased considerably, rising over the period from 1 January to 30 June 1988 by an average of 52 % compared with the same period in 1987. Prices have fallen to a level which does not allow the Community industry to cover its production costs. Its financial situation has therefore deteriorated and investment has suffered. During the reference period two Community manufacturers ceased production, partly as a result of the effects of the dumped imports. These closures led to a reduction in the workforce employed in copper sulphate production.(c) Causal link(19) The Community industry's difficulties coincided with the increase in imports from the countries concerned and the low price level of these imports on the Community market.(20) The Commission investigated whether the injury had been caused by other factors such as a fall in the complainants' sales in third countries, a fall in Community demand or an increase in imports from countries other than those concerned by this proceeding. A detailed analysis shows that these factors have had no effect on the injury caused to Community copper sulphate production, since Community exports and demand have remained at the same level and there has been no increase in imports from countries other than those concerned by this proceeding.(21) The Bulgarian exporter contended that its exports had not caused any injury to the Community industry, arguing that the ultimate destination of its exports to the Community was Africa and North America. This argument, which the Bulgarian exporter backed with statements from the Belgian and United Kingdom importers, was not accepted. According to official Community statistics and the information obtained by the Commission, 77 % of Bulgaria's total exports of copper sulphate during the period under investigation went to other Member States, namely Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, for which no evidence of re-export was produced.(d) Conclusion(22) It is clear from the above that despite the measures in force, the volume of dumped imports from the two countries concerned and the prices of these imports, taken in isolation, have caused material injury to the Community industry concerned.H. Community interest(23) In view of the serious difficulties facing the Community industry and the increase in imports from the countries concerned, and in particular the cessation of production by two Community producers during the reference period, there is a danger that failure to adopt effective protective measures against the dumping in question would lead to continued undermining of the Community industry's position and would threaten its long-term viability. In these circumstances, the Commission has concluded that the Community interest requires the imposition of definitive anti-dumping measures concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria or the Soviet Union.I. Definitive duty(a) Rate of duty(24) In determining the rate of the duty, the Commission has taken account of the dumping margins and the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury. To this end, the Commission has determined the weighted average production costs of the Community manufacturers, and has added a reasonable margin for profit.The profit margin taken into account was 5 % of the production costs. It emerged from the investigation, and from previous investigations, that this margin was necessary to allow a copper sulphate producer to operate a plant under reasonable, modern technical conditions.Production costs, plus this profit margin, were compared with free-at-Community-frontier export prices, plus customs duties and a profit margin for the importer. The difference between the two was taken as the level of injury to be removed.As in the case of both the exporters concerned the level of injury was lower than the dumping margins established, the amount of definitive duties to be imposed should be the amount required to remove the injury.(b) Form(25) The Commission considered that, to ensure the effectiveness of the protective measures and to facilitate customs clearance, the definitive duty should take the form of an ad valorem duty.J. Definitive collection of the provisional duty(26) Because of the size of the dumping margins established and the serious nature of the injury caused to the Community industry, the Council considers it necessary to collect definitively the amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty, either in full or up to the amount of the definitive duty imposed where the latter is lower than the provisional duty,. 1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of copper sulphate originating in Bulgaria or the Soviet Union, falling within CN code 2833 25 00.2. The rate of the duty shall be equal to the percentages indicated below of the free-at-Community-frontier price for each country:- Bulgaria: 58 %,- Soviet Union: 56 %.3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply. The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duties under Regulation (EEC) No 2386/88 shall be definitively collected up to the rate of the definitive duty, where the latter is less than the rate of the provisional anti-dumping duty, or at the rate of the provisional duty in other cases. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

2669,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 2508/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down the detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards operational programmes in the fisheries sector. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products(1), and in particular Article 9(5) and Article 10(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires producer organisations to submit an operational programme for planning supply and regulate in advance the deliveries from their members at the beginning of each fishing year.(2) The content of the operational programme needs to be defined for producer organisations to meet their obligations. It is therefore necessary to stipulate what is required in the marketing strategy, the catch plan, and the production plan for both fishing and aquaculture producer organisations.(3) Producer organisations need to ensure internal discipline in order to ensure that the operational programme can be enforced. The penalties must be in proportion to the infringement and must be made known to the members in advance.(4) The timetable for submission by the producer organisations and approval by the competent national authorities of the operational programmes should be established to ensure an effective operation of the arrangements.(5) An advance should be granted to producer organisations in order to cover some of the financial costs incurred in establishing operational programmes.(6) It is appropriate to provide for a report to be submitted on the implementation of the operational programme at the end of the fishing year to enable the producer organisation to assess the effectiveness of its programme and to enable the national authorities to establish whether the financial compensation should be granted.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,. CHAPTER IMarketing strategy and catch plan for fishing producer organisations For the species in Annexes I and IV to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the marketing strategy referred to in Article 9(1)(a) of that Regulation shall include the following:(a) the number of registered members of the producer organisation on the first day of the fishing year as defined in Article 9(1) of this Regulation;(b) the number and type of fishing vessels that are members of the producer organisation on the first day of the fishing year;(c) the volume of production and intervention operations by species in the previous fishing year;(d) the aggregate turnover of the producer organisation in the previous fishing year;(e) the quota allocated to the producer organisation by species;(f) the percentage of fish sold through auctions or by other means in the previous fishing year;(g) the strategy to improve or maintain the quality of the products disposed of through the producer organisation or its members;(h) voluntary product labelling or other promotional activities;(i) proposed new outlets or other commercial opportunities. 1. The species that represent a significant share of the landings of a producer organisation shall be taken as those species which contribute:(a) at least 5 % of the total production of the producer organisation during the previous fishing year by volume or by value for species which are covered by catch quotas as set in accordance with Article 8(4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92(2); or(b) at least 10 % of the total production of the producer organisation during the previous fishing year by volume or by value for species not covered by catch quotas referred to in (a).2. For the species referred to in Article 9(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 that meet the requirements of paragraph 1 of this Article, the catch plan shall include an indicative supply schedule set out across the fishing year and based on seasonal trends (price, production and demand) in the market.3. The catch plan may be simplified where there are no market difficulties, particularly withdrawals.4. Where there are catch plans set up within a Member State at a different level to the producer organisations, the producer organisation may make reference to those plans.However, the existence of such plans does not exonerate the producer organisation from setting out further measures to regulate the supply of its members, as indicated in Article 5.CHAPTER IIMarketing strategy and production plan for aquaculture producer organisations For the species referred to in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the marketing strategy referred to in Article 9(1)(a) of that Regulation shall include:(a) the number of registered members of the producer organisation on the first day of the fishing year, as defined in Article 9(1) of this Regulation;(b) the volume of species harvested in the previous fishing year;(c) the average sale price of the species concerned in the previous fishing year;(d) the aggregate turnover of the producer organisation in the previous fishing year;(e) the rearing method used;(f) the peak seasons for production and for sales;(g) the strategy to improve or maintain the quality of the products disposed of through the producer organisation or its members;(h) voluntary product labelling or other promotional activities;(i) market assessment including proposed new outlets or other commercial opportunities. The production plan referred to in the second indent of Article 9(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall comprise an indicative supply schedule for the fishing year based on seasonal production factors and anticipated trends in the market.CHAPTER IIIMeasures applicable to species in Annexes I, IV and V to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 The operational programme referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall state the reasons for any habitual market difficulties experienced in recent fishing years and shall specify the anticipatory measures taken to adjust the supply. 1. The producer organisation shall take all the necessary steps to try to remedy the situation where the market conditions change so that:(a) withdrawals as a percentage of the quantities put up for sale in any month increase by 5 percentage points compared to the average percentage of withdrawals of the previous three months; or(b) any other serious market difficulties arise.Products withdrawn for carryover aid as referred to in Articles 23 and 24(4) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall not be taken into account as withdrawals for the purposes of this paragraph.2. The producer organisation shall inform the competent authorities of the Member State of any steps taken in accordance with paragraph 1. A revision to the operational programme shall not be necessary unless so required by the competent authorities of the Member State. A list of the penalties referred to in Article 9(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be established by the producer organisation and shall be made available to all its members.The penalties shall be proportionate to the infringement. The unforeseen circumstances referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be events which are independent of the actions of the producer organisation and affect the market for the species concerned.CHAPTER IVProcedural aspects 1.

Therefore, metconazole was included in Annex I to that Directive with the specific provisions that Member States may only authorise uses as fungicide.(3) In addition to the control of fungi in certain agricultural uses, the notifier now has applied for an amendment to those specific provisions as regards the use as a plant growth regulator. In order to support such an extension of the use, the notifier submitted additional information.(4) Belgium evaluated the information and data submitted by the notifier. It informed the Commission in October 2007 that it concluded that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for metconazole in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. This is particularly the case since the extension covers applications at rates that are lower than those necessary for a use as fungicide while the other application parameters as set out in the specific provisions of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC remain unchanged.(5) Therefore it is justified to modify the specific provisions for metconazole.(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC 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 I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 5 August 2008 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 6 August 2008.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication.

In order to assess whether the Community market in one or more of the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 is, by reason of imports or exports, experiencing or threatened with serious disturbances which might endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty, particular account shall be taken of:    (a) the volume of imports or exports effected or foreseen;  (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal.(b) the quantities of products available on the Community market;(c) the prices for Community products on the Community market or the foreseeable trend of these prices and in particular any excessive upward or downward trend thereof in relation to prices in the years immediately preceding;(d) where the abovementioned situation arises as a result of imports, the prices obtaining on the Community market, at a comparable stage, for products from third countries, and in particular any excessive downward trend in these prices. 1. Should the situation referred to in Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 arise, the measures which may be taken under paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article shall be:    (a) for products subject to the system of import certificates:      - the total or partial discontinuation of the issue of certificates, as a result of which new applications will not be accepted,- the rejection of all or some of the applications for the issue of certificates which are being examined;(b) for products not subject to the system of import certificates : total and partial suspension of imports;(c) for all products:      - the introduction of arrangements under which, if the price for an imported product falls below a certain minimum, a condition may be imposed whereby that product may be imported only at a price which is at least equal to such minimum,- the total or partial suspension of exports.2. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 may be taken only to such extent and for such length of time as is strictly necessary. They shall take account of the special situation of products which are already on their way to the Community. They may not extend to products other than those imported from or intended for third countries. They may be restricted to products imported from or originating in particular countries, to exports to particular countries or to particular qualities or types of presentation. They may be restricted to imports intended for particular regions of the Community or to exports from such regions.3. The rejection referred to in the second indent of paragraph 1 (a), shall apply to applications made during the period in which the suspension referred to in Article 4 is applied. The application of this Regulation shall respect the Community's obligations under international agreements. 1. A Member State may take one or more interim protective measures if, subsequent to an assessment based on the factors set out in Article 1, it considers that the situation referred to in Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 has arisen on its territory. Article 2 (2) shall apply. The interim protective measures shall be as follows:    (a) for products subject to the system of import certificates, the total or partial suspension of the issue of certificates;(b) for products not subject to the certificate system, the total or partial suspension of imports;(c) for all products, the total or partial suspension of exports.2.

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.(6) All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.B.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING(7) By letter of 26 January 2012 to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.(8) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.(9) The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Union interest.(10) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in Belarus should be terminated,.

The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and other participants to the Stabilisation and Association Process from the Western Balkans were invited to join the system of pan-European diagonal cumulation of origin in the Thessaloniki agenda, endorsed by the European Council of June 2003. They were invited to join the Convention by a decision of the Euro-Mediterranean Ministerial Conference of October 2007.(3) The Union and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia signed the Convention on 15 June 2011.(4) The Union and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia deposited their instruments of acceptance with the depositary of the Convention on 26 March 2012 and 14 June 2012 respectively. As a consequence, in application of Article 10(3) of the Convention, the Convention entered into force in relation to the Union and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on 1 May 2012 and on 1 August 2012 respectively.(5) Article 6 of the Convention provides that each contracting party to the Convention is to take appropriate measures to ensure that the Convention is effectively applied.

In particular, Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 allows bovine animals originating in third countries and intended for on-site fattening and consumption in the French overseas departments to be imported duty free. Under Article 12(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001, customs duties are not to be levied on imports into Madeira of bovine animals originating in third countries and intended for on-site fattening and consumption in the islands. In addition, under Article 12(1)(b) of that Regulation, aid is to be granted for the supply of bovine animals originating in the Community. The minimum duration of the fattening period of animals imported or delivered under these arrangements, in particular, should be laid down.(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 of 28 December 2001 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the outermost regions under Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 158/2002(5), repealed Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92(6) and (EEC) No 2255/92(7) laying down detailed rules for applying the specific supply of live bovine animals to the French overseas departments and Madeira, respectively. New detailed rules for applying the scheme should therefore be laid down.(3) Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 incorrectly refers to the Combined Nomenclature code for live pure-bred breeding bovines as referred to in Annexes II and III (part 8), and should be corrected.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 provides for the supply to the Canary Islands of products falling within CN codes 1701 and 1702 in the sugar sector, with the exception of glucose and isoglucose. In cases where such supply involves sugar falling within CN codes 1701 91 00 and 1701 99 90, the method for calculating the aid applicable to such sugar should be laid down, as it is in the case of white sugar, raw sugar and sucrose syrups.(5) The arrangements for using certain products included in the supply balance for milk and milk products for the Canary Islands should be simplified. In addition, the aid for products falling within CN codes 1901 90 99 and 2106 90 92 should be reintroduced. For the purpose of setting the aid for supply to Madeira and the Canary Islands and in the interests of simplification, there should be a permanent reference to the Regulations fixing the export refund for similar products whenever such refunds are granted.(6) The CN code for breeding rabbits changed on 1 January 2002. The CN code for breeding rabbits should therefore be changed accordingly in Annex I(8) and Annex III(11). The supply to the Canary Islands of young breeding chickens weighing 2000 g or less (Annex III, part 11, CN code 0105 92 00 ) does not correspond to the real needs in the Canary Islands. Instead, grand-parents and parents of female chicks weighing less than 185 grammes (CN code ex 0105 11 ) should be supplied. Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 contains an incorrect CN code for frozen cuts of chicken (Annex III, part 11), which should be corrected.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees for beef and veal, sugar, milk and milk products, poultrymeat and eggs and fresh fruit and vegetables,.

From 1 January 1996 to 31 December 1998 importation into the  Community of the textile products falling under the categories listed in Annex I shall be governed  by the provisions of this Regulation.2. Classification shall be based on the combined nomenclature (CN).3. Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, importation into the Community of the textile  products referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be subject to quantitative restrictions or to  measures having equivalent effect. 1. In 1996, 1997, and 1998, importation into the Community of textile products listed  in Annex II and originating in Taiwan shall be effected within the limits of quantitative Community  limits laid down in the said Annex.2. For the purposes of the application of this Regulation, the concept of originating products, as  well as the means of monitoring their origin, shall be those defined by the relevant Community  rules in force.3. Subject to the other provisions of this Article, the release for free circulation in the  Community of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the presentation of an  import authorization issued by the Member States' authorities at the importer's request, on  presentation by the said importer of an export document conforming to the model in Annex III,  issued by the Taiwan Textile Federation.4. The authorities of the Member State of import shall issue the import authorization in conformity  with the rules and procedures established in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 of 12 October 1993  on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries (1).Imports authorized in accordance with the provisions of the first subparagraph shall be set off  against the quantitative limits established for the year in which the products were shipped in  Taiwan.For the purposes of this Regulation, shipment of the goods is considered to have taken place on the  date of their loading on the exporting aircraft, vehicle or vessel.5. The release after 1 January 1996 for free circulation in the Community of the products covered  by this Regulation shall be subject to the import arrangements which were in force before that  date, provided that the products were loaded on board in Taiwan before 1 January 1996.6. Should it appear that additional supplies of a product listed in Annex II are required in the  Community, importation of amounts greater than those mentioned in Annex II may be authorized in  accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9.7. The definition of quantitative limits laid down in Annex II and of the categories of products to  which they apply shall be adapted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9, where  this proves necessary to ensure that any subsequent amendment to the combined nomenclature or a  decision amending the classification of such products does not result in a reduction of such  quantitative limits. 1. Imports of textile products of the categories to which this Regulation applies,  originating in Taiwan and not listed in Annex II, may be made subject to quantitative limits where  the level of those imports exceeds the level of the total imports in the Community of the same  products in the preceding year by the following percentages:- for the categories of products in Group I: 0,4 %,- for the categories of products in Group II: 2 %,- for the categories of products in Group III: 6 %.2. Such limits may not be set at an annual level lower than 106 % of the volume of the imports  during the year preceding that in which imports exceeded the threshold established in accordance  with paragraph 1, nor lower than the level established under paragraph 1, nor lower than the 1985  volume of imports of the category of products in question originating in Taiwan.3. The limits referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be introduced in accordance with the  procedure referred to in Article 9.4. The provisions for the administration of the quantitative limits described in Articles 2, 4, 6,  7 and 8, shall apply to quantitative limits established under this Article, save for any different  provisions adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 9. 1. According to the procedure envisaged in Article 9, imports in excess of the  quantitative limits laid down in Article 2, may be authorized either by carrying over unused  quantities from the quantitative limits of the preceding year or by advance drawing on the  quantitative limits for the following year, provided that such carry-over and advance drawing does  not exceed respectively 7 and 5 % of the quantitative limit to be increased.2. According to the procedure envisaged in Article 9, the Community may authorize the transfer of  unused quantities from one quantitative limit to another quantitative limit within the following  limits only:- between categories 2 and 3 of Group I: 4 % of the quantitative limit to which the transfer is  made,- between categories 4 to 8 of Group I: 4 % of the quantitative limit to which the transfer is  made,- from the categories in Groups I, II and III to categories in Groups II and III: 5 % of the  quantitative limit to which the transfer is made.The table of equivalences applying to the transfers referred to in the first subparagraph is given  in Annex I.3. The cumulative application of the flexibility arrangements set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 may not  exceed, with regard to each quantitative limit, 12 %. Where the Commission finds that products originating in Taiwan which are subject to  quantitative limits established under this Regulation have been transshipped, rerouted or otherwise  imported into the Community in circumvention of this Regulation and where there is clear proof of  such circumvention, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9, amounts shall be  deducted from the quantitative limits established under this Regulation equivalent to the amount of  the products concerned originating in Taiwan. Specific limits for products resulting from economic outward processing operations  fulfilling the conditions set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94 of 8 December 1994  establishing economic outward processing arrangements applicable to certain textiles and clothing  products reimported into the Community after working or processing in certain third countries (1)  may be established, in accordance with the procedure described in Article 9, in respect of the  products listed in Annex II or subject to quantitative limits under Article 3. Products referred to in Article 1 which are brought into the customs territory of the  Community under inward processing arrangements or under other temporary admission arrangements and  re-exported from that territory in an unaltered state or after processing shall not be charged  against the quantitative limits referred to in Articles 2 and 3. 1.

The United Kingdom provided additional information and clarifications on 3 June and 17 September 2014.(2) In those areas, the prices of gas oil and unleaded petrol, supplied as motor fuel to road vehicles, are higher than the average prices in the rest of the territory of the United Kingdom, placing local fuel consumers at a disadvantage. The price difference is due to additional per unit costs induced by the geographic location of those areas, their low population numbers and the delivery of relatively low volumes of fuel.(3) The reduced rates of taxation should be above the minimum rates laid down in Article 7 of Directive 2003/96/EC.(4) In view of the specific nature of the areas to which it applies and the moderate reduction in the rate, which reduction only partially alleviates the higher costs incurred in the geographical areas in question, the measure is not expected to give rise to any movement for the purpose of supply of fuel.(5) Consequently, the measure is acceptable from the point of view of the proper functioning of the internal market and of the need to ensure fair competition, and it is compatible with the Union's health, environment, energy and transport policies.(6) In accordance with Article 19(2) of Directive 2003/96/EC each authorisation granted under that Article is to be strictly limited in time. In order to provide the businesses and consumers concerned with a sufficient degree of certainty, the authorisation should be granted for a period of six years. However, in order not to undermine future general developments in the existing legal framework, it is appropriate to provide that, should the Council, acting on the basis of Article 113 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), introduce a modified general system for the taxation of energy products with which the authorisation granted in this Decision would not be compatible, this Decision should expire on the day on which the rules of that modified system become applicable.(7) This Decision is without prejudice to the application of Union rules regarding State aid,. 1.   The United Kingdom is hereby authorised to apply a reduced rate of excise duty on gas oil and unleaded petrol, supplied as motor fuel to road vehicles, in the geographical areas covered, on the date of the notification of this Decision, by the postcode districts of IV54 (Highland, Scotland), IV26 (Highland, Scotland), IV27 (Highland, Scotland), NE48 (Northumberland, England), PH41 (Highland, Scotland), KW12 (Highland, Scotland), PA80 (Argyll and Bute, Scotland), PH36 (Highland, Scotland), IV22 (Highland, Scotland), PA38 (Argyll and Bute, Scotland), PH23 (Highland, Scotland), PH19 (Highland, Scotland), IV21 (Highland, Scotland), LA17 (Cumbria, England), EX35 (Devon, England), IV14 (Highland, Scotland) and in the geographical area covered, on the date of the notification of this Decision, by the post town of Hawes (North Yorkshire, England).In order to avoid any overcompensation, the reduction of the standard national rate of taxation for gas oil or unleaded petrol respectively shall be no greater than the additional cost of retail sales in those geographical areas, compared with the average cost of retail sales incurred in the United Kingdom and the reduction shall be no more than GBP 50 (EUR 64) per 1 000 litres of product.2.   The reduced rates shall comply with the requirements of Directive 2003/96/EC, and in particular with the minimum rates laid down in Article 7 thereof. This Decision shall take effect on the date of its notification.It shall expire six years thereafter. However, should the Council, acting on the basis of Article 113 of the TFEU, introduce a modified general system for the taxation of energy products with which the authorisation granted under Article 1 of this Decision would not be compatible, this Decision shall expire on the day on which the rules of that modified system become applicable.

In particular bluetongue serotype 8 occurred for the first time in Austria and Sweden. New outbreaks of bluetongue serotype 8 were identified in Denmark and Spain. In addition, bluetongue serotype 1 further spread in France, Spain and Portugal.(3) As the outbreaks in Austria and Sweden occurred after publication of Decision 2008/655/EC, these two Member States submitted their vaccination plans too late to meet the deadline set in Article 4(2) of that Decision. Therefore provisions related to the intermediate reports, including those relating to the reduction of the contribution from the Community should not apply to those Member States.(4) The Member States concerned have informed the Commission and the other Member States of the occurrence of the disease. Those Member States have presented their new or amended plans for emergency vaccination indicating the approximate number of vaccine doses to be used in 2007 and 2008 and the estimated costs of carrying out those vaccinations. The Commission has assessed the new plans submitted by Austria and Sweden and the amended plans submitted by Denmark, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal from both the veterinary and the financial point of view and the plans were found to comply with relevant Community veterinary legislation. The vaccination of animals against bluetongue in the Member States concerned should therefore be approved in accordance with Article 9(2) of Directive 2000/75/EC.(5) The eligibility of expenditure is currently restricted to costs paid in the period 1 November 2007 to 31 December 2008. However, the emergency vaccination plans run until the end of 2008. Therefore, the operative event of carrying out vaccination should determine the eligibility of expenditure. Measures with an operative event falling within the above mentioned period are eligible for co-financing.(6) Decision 2008/655/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Decision 2008/655/EC is amended as follows:1. in Article 1, the first subparagraph is replaced by following:2. in Article 2(1), the first subparagraph is replaced by following:3. in Article 4(1), the letter (d) is replaced by the following:‘(d) a final financial report, in computerized form in accordance with the Annex, on the costs incurred by the Member State during the period 1 November 2007 to 31 December 2008 and paid before the submission of the report;’;4. in Article 4(1), the following subparagraph is added: AddresseesThis Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Portuguese Republic and the Kingdom of Sweden..

39029,"2011/32/EU: Commission Decision of 19 January 2011 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of purified terephthalic acid and its salts originating in Thailand. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 9 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:1.   PROCEDURE1.1.   Initiation(1) On 22 December 2009, the European Commission (the ‘Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2) (Notice of initiation), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of purified terephthalic acid and its salts (PTA) originating in Thailand (the country concerned).(2) The anti-dumping proceeding was initiated following a complaint lodged on 13 November 2009 by BP Aromatics Limited NV and CEPSA Quimica S.A. (the complainants) representing a major proportion, in this case more than 50 %, of the total Union production of PTA. The complaint contained prima facie evidence of dumping of the product concerned originating in the country concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the opening of a proceeding.(3) On the same day, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3), the initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding with regard to imports into the Union of PTA originating in Thailand. This investigation has been terminated by means of Commission Decision 2011/31/EU (4).1.2.   Parties concerned by the proceeding(4) The Commission officially advised the complainants, other known producers in the Union, the known exporting producers in Thailand, the representatives of the exporting country concerned and known importers and users of the initiation of the proceeding. 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. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.(5) The Commission sent questionnaires to the complainants, other known producers in the Union, the known exporting producers in Thailand and to the known importers and users of the product concerned and to all other parties that requested a questionnaire within the deadlines set out in the Notice of initiation.(6) Questionnaire replies were received from the three known Thai exporting producers, from three Union producers, from one Union importer and from five Union users.(7) The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for the determination of dumping, resulting injury and Union interest. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following companies:(a) Union producers:— BP Aromatics Limited NV, Geel, Belgium— CEPSA Química, S.A., Madrid, Spain— Lotte Chemical UK Ltd (formerly Artenius), Wilton, Redcar, United Kingdom(b) Union importers:— Mitsui & Co. Benelux NV, Brussels, Belgium(c) Union users:— DSM Powder Coating Resins BV, Zwolle, Holland— M&G Polimeri Italia SpA, Patrica (Frosinone), Italy— NOVAPET S.A., Barbastro (Huesca), Spain— UAB NEO Group, Klaipeda, Lithuania(d) Exporting producers in Thailand:— TPT Petrochemicals Public Company Ltd, Bangkok, Thailand (hereinafter ‘TPT’)— Indorama Petrochem Ltd, Bangkok, Thailand (hereinafter ‘Indorama’)— Siam Mitsui PTA Company Ltd, Bangkok, Thailand (hereinafter ‘SMPC’)(e) Related exporter:— Mitsui Chemicals Inc, Tokyo, Japan (hereinafter ‘MCI’) — export sales representative and shareholder of SMPC.(8) Given that both TPT and Indorama are owned by the same holding company, they will be referred to in this document as the ‘Indorama group’.1.3.   Investigation period and period considered(9) The investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 December 2008 to 30 November 2009 (the ‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’). The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2006 to the end of the investigation period (the period considered).2.   PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT2.1.   Product concerned(10) The product concerned is terephthalic acid and its salts of a purity by weight of 99,5 % or more, currently falling within CN code ex 2917 36 00 (the product concerned).(11) PTA is obtained by the purification of crude terephthalic acid, which is a result of making paraxylene (PX) react with a solvent and a catalyst solution.2.2.   Like product(12) The product concerned and the PTA produced and sold on the domestic market of Thailand, as well as the PTA produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry were found to have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and uses. They were therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.3.   DUMPING3.1.   Preliminary remarks(13) All three Thai exporting producers named in the complaint submitted questionnaires responses. The investigation revealed that no other Thai exporting producers of PTA exist and that the responses covered 100 % of Thai exports to the EU market.(14) The three companies requested dumping calculations to be performed on the basis of monthly data on the grounds that costs of the main raw material and consequently prices for the product concerned varied significantly through the IP. For the reasons shown in recital 26 below, the use of the requested methodology was not considered warranted.(15) It should be noted that sales on the domestic and EU markets were based on either spot prices or contracts based on the PX cost (the main raw material) or a formula based on a PTA pricing index in China. In the latter case, there was a significant time lag in a number of instances after which the final index was available. In order to implement the formula, an invoicing arrangement had to be operated whereby the final price could be settled some months after the initial provisional invoice was issued. Debit/credit notes were issued to correct the final price agreed in the contract.(16) The general methodology set out below has been applied to all the cooperating exporting producers in Thailand.3.2.   Normal value(17) In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first established whether the domestic sales of the Thai producers were sufficiently representative, i.e. whether the total volume of such sales represented at least 5 % of their total volume of export sales of the product concerned to the Union. The domestic sales of the Thai producers were considered sufficiently representative during the investigation period.(18) The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of the like product could be regarded as being sold in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. This was done by establishing for the like product sold on the domestic market the proportion of profitable domestic sales to independent customers during the IP.(19) Since the volume of profitable sales of the like product represented more than 80 % of the total domestic sales volume of the like product for all 3 producers, normal value was based on the actual domestic price, calculated as a weighted average of all domestic sales.3.3.   Export price(20) This investigation showed that one of the cooperating exporting producers (SMPC) sold to the EU market via its largest shareholder (MCI, a company located in Japan), which then resold to a series of Japanese traders, which ultimately sold to parties on the EU market. It was investigated whether MCI and the largest Japanese trader were related and if such a relationship had an impact on prices.(21) It was found that the most important relationship concerned common shareholdings at a very low percentage held by Japanese banks on behalf of numerous trustees. It was, therefore, established that the relationship was not of such a nature to impact price levels. Indeed, given (i) the pricing/contractual arrangements outlined above which are typical for this industry and (ii) the nature of the relationship between the companies described above, prices are at arm’s length. It was therefore determined that the export price of the product concerned could be established on the basis of MCI’s sales to the Japanese traders.(22) A letter was sent to MCI informing it of the consequences of non-cooperation because during the verification in Tokyo the case handlers involved were not granted full access to accounting information relating to certain allowances.(23) It was therefore decided to calculate the allowances on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation. As a result the following methodology was used. For freight costs the allowance was adjusted upwards on the basis of information gathered on spot. For the remaining allowances the amounts reported as well as the net sales prices were also checked by reference to other independent sources, in this case information established for the other two Thai exporting producers and were found to be in line for the same type of sales. An alternative method of using Eurostat prices as a substitute was considered but not used because for this product the value in Eurostat was the cif price at the date of importation and not the adjusted final price established in accordance with the sales contract and the invoicing systems outlined above. This approach was exceptionally appropriate given the structure of the market as explained in recital 15 above. Note that the vast majority of allowances had already been verified in Thailand.3.4.   Comparison(24) The comparison between normal value and export price was made on an ex-works basis.(25) For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences affecting prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation. On this basis, adjustments for differences in transport, insurance, packing, credit, handling and commission costs were made where applicable and justified.(26) The comparison between export price and normal value was made on an annual basis. The request of the exporting producers to make comparisons on a monthly basis was considered but not pursued since it was obvious that it would not have changed the overall conclusion with respect to dumping, i.e. the countrywide de minimis dumping.3.5.   Dumping margin(27) Pursuant to Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin for the cooperating exporting producers in Thailand were established on the basis of a comparison of a weighted average normal value with a weighted average export price as established above.(28) On the basis of the above methodology the dumping margins, expressed as a percentage of the cif Union frontier price, duty unpaid, were set as follows:Dumping MarginIndorama group 3,7 %SMPC No dumping(29) The three exporting producers (the two of the Indorama group and SMPC) represent the entirety of exports originating in Thailand when compared to the Eurostat data. In order to assess whether, on a countrywide basis, the dumping margin was below de minimis, a weighted average countrywide dumping margin was established. It was found that this margin was below de minimis, i.e. 1,8 %.(30) In view of the countrywide de minimis dumping margin, provisional measures on imports of PTA originating in Thailand should not be imposed.4.   INJURY, CAUSATION AND UNION INTEREST(31) In view of the above findings with respect to dumping it is not considered necessary to present any analysis on injury, causation and Union interest.5.   TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING(32) The proceeding should therefore be terminated as the dumping margin determined for Thailand is less than 2 %. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment.(33) As to dumping issues, comments were received from one of the complainants which considered that the Commission should have imputed to SMPC the dumping margin established for the other two exporting producers (3,7 %) as a consequence of facts available. In such a case it was argued that there would have been a de minimis dumping margin. This had to be rejected. The Commission did apply facts available with respect to the Japanese related company by using the company’s available data, adjusting it upwards and comparing it to other verifiable sources. To impute in these circumstances the dumping margin of the other exporters would not have been in line with the provisions of Article 18.(34) The same complainant also argued that other governments take a different view on investigations concerning PTA for a similar IP. This had to be rejected. In this respect it is noted that the evidence provided by the party refers to an anti-dumping duty imposed by the People’s Republic of China on imports of PTA from Korea and Thailand. The information provided cannot corroborate the party’s claim since no evidence exists on how normal value and export price were established in this Chinese anti-dumping investigation. Furthermore, in the investigation by the Chinese authorities, the IP runs from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008, while the IP used in the current EU investigation runs from 1 December 2008 to 30 November 2009. Therefore the periods taken into consideration in the EU and the Chinese investigations were very different.(35) As far as injury aspects are concerned no representations were submitted by any interested party.(36) In conclusion, no comments from any interested party undermine the finding that protective measures are unnecessary.(37) In light of all the above, the Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of purified terephthalic acid and its salts originating in Thailand should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures,. The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of terephthalic acid and its salts of a purity by weight of 99,5 % or more, currently falling within CN code ex 2917 36 00, originating in Thailand, is hereby terminated..

35426,"Commission Directive 2008/79/EC of 28 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include IPBC as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes IPBC.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, IPBC has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Denmark was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 29 September 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 February 2008, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing IPBC may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include IPBC in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing IPBC can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing IPBC and used as wood preservatives to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto. In particular, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments after application of the products since unacceptable risks in these compartments have been identified during the evaluation and products intended for industrial and/or professional use should be used with appropriate protective equipment if the risk identified for industrial and/or professional users cannot be reduced by other means.(7) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance IPBC and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(9) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing IPBC to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(10) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

The aim of these measures is to make a distinction between traditional importers and new importers in the new Member States, and to adjust the quantities to which licence applications presented by traditional importers from the new Member States can relate so that these importers can benefit from this system.(3) To ensure uninterrupted supplies to the enlarged Community market while taking account of the economic supply conditions in the new Member States prior to accession, an autonomous and temporary import tariff quota should be opened for preserved mushrooms of the genus Agaricus falling within CN codes 0711 51 00, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30. This new tariff quota is in addition to the one opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1076/2004 of 7 June 2004 opening and providing for the administration of an autonomous tariff quota for preserved mushrooms (3).(4) This new quota must be transitional and may not prejudge the outcome of the negotiations under way in the context of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as a result of the accession of new members.(5) The Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,. 1.   An autonomous tariff quota of 1 200 tonnes (drained net weight), bearing serial number 09.4110, hereinafter the ‘autonomous quota’, shall be opened from 1 September 2004 for Community imports of preserved mushrooms of the genus Agaricus spp. falling within CN codes 0711 51 00, 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30.2.   The ad valorem duty applicable to products imported under the autonomous quota shall be 12 % for products falling within CN code 0711 51 00 and 23 % for products falling within CN codes 2003 10 20 and 2003 10 30. Regulations (EC) No 2125/95 and (EC) No 359/2004 shall apply to the management of the autonomous quota, subject to the provisions of this Regulation.However, Articles 1, 2(2) and 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 shall not apply to the management of the autonomous quota. Import licences issued under the autonomous quota, hereinafter ‘licences’, shall be valid until 31 March 2005.Box 24 of the licences shall show one of the entries listed in Annex I. 1.   Importers may submit licence applications to the competent authorities of the Member States in the five working days following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.Box 20 of the licences shall show one of the entries listed in Annex II.2.   Licence applications submitted by a single traditional importer may not relate to a quantity exceeding 9 % of the autonomous quota.3.   Licence applications submitted by a single new importer may not relate to a quantity exceeding 1 % of the autonomous quota. The autonomous quota shall be allocated as follows:— 95 % to traditional importers,— 5 % to new importers.If the quantity allocated to one of the categories of importers is not used in full, the balance may be allocated to the other category. 1.   The Member States shall notify the Commission, on the seventh working day following the entry into force of this Regulation, of the quantities for which licence applications have been made.2.   Licences shall be issued on the 12th working day following the entry into force of this Regulation, unless the Commission has taken special measures under paragraph 3 of this Article.3.   Where the Commission finds, on the basis of the information notified under paragraph 1 of this Article, that licence applications exceed the quantities available for a category of importers under Article 5 of this Regulation, it shall adopt, by means of a regulation, a single reduction percentage for the applications in question. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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..

11163,"93/588/EEC: Council Decision of 29 October 1993 on the adoption of a programme of Community action on the subject of the vocational training of indirect taxation officials (Matthaeus-Tax). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas in a single market without internal frontiers, indirect taxation officials will play an essential part in ensuring the proper operation of the internal market;Whereas it must be ensured that the abolition of controls at internal borders does not give rise to distortions in competition, deflection of trade or increased risk of fraud and tax evasion; whereas it is consequently necessary to stimulate intensive  and ongoing cooperation at all levels in the indirect taxation administrations to ensure that they work together to complete the internal market;Whereas this will be achieved through optimizing the use of human resources in Member States and therefore through suitable vocational training;Whereas the measures taken in this sphere by each of the national administrations are not in themselves sufficient to achieve the objective being pursued; whereas it is consequently essential to reinforce national efforts through joint action to  increase the awareness of indirect taxation officials of the increasing Community dimension of their tasks and of the need to cooperate more closely together;Whereas only a better mutual knowledge of the organization, methods and procedures applied in the different Member States can ensure the climate of mutual confidence necessary for a proper functioning of the internal market;Whereas the experience acquired by the Community from the organization of the Matthaeus programme, intended for the customs officials of the Member States, showed the benefit of training activities, supplementing those organized at the national level,  in developing a Community spirit of the officials working in the internal market; whereas this experience must, mutatis mutandis, be spread to the indirect taxation area;Whereas, in these conditions, the implementation of a training programme at a Community level for indirect taxation officials (Matthaeus-Tax) constitutes one of the most appropriate ways to achieve this result;Whereas the Commission adopted a pilot project for 1991 and 1992 based on the exchange of indirect taxation officials between national administrations and training seminars; whereas the aim of this pilot project was to collect useful information to  allow the implementation of a more ambitious training programme extending over several years and supplemented by other training measures;Whereas the experience acquired during the pilot project indicated that there was an advantage in exchange officials having an involvement in the day-to-day activities of the host service; whereas this requirement will be met most effectively if the  exchange officials have sufficient knowledge of the language of the host country; whereas, for this purpose, it is essential that the national administrations organize language courses for their officials so they can participate more effectively in the  programme; whereas these courses must be of an ongoing nature and must cover, as far as possible, all the official languages of the Community;Whereas the legal status of exchange officials will be the same as that of national officials where, in performing their duties, their civil liability is put at issue by a third part and they will be informed about the civil liability rules applicable  to them in the host country;Whereas exchange officials will be bound by the same rules of professional secrecy as national officials, given that exchange officials will take part in the day-to-day work of the host administration;Whereas the number of officials undergoing an exchange should, as far as possible, amount to some 100 each year and be increased to the extent that budgetary, training and admission capacities permit;Whereas training measures supplementary to the exchange of officials between national administrations are essential to the achievement of the objective sought; whereas these measures may involve training seminars and the establishment of common training  programmes to be taught in Member States' schools;Whereas seminars form an ideal forum for the exchange of ideas between indirect taxation officials in the Community; whereas in these seminars, suggestions may emerge which could improve the legal instruments in force and facilitate cooperation between  the administrations concerned;Whereas the said seminars should concern those indirect taxation officials who belong, as necessary, to all categories and especially trainers in national administrations' schools, officials responsible for implementing indirect taxation law, especially  where it relates to the control of transactions involving other Member States, and officials responsible for combating all types of fiscal fraud;Whereas the setting up of common training programmes, in so far as necessary, constitutes a suitable means of making comparable training available to officials throughout the Community; whereas these programmes should include the teaching of Community  law as well as the study of Community institutions and their foundations, since indirect taxation officials will increasingly have to integrate these Community aspects;Whereas the implementation of these common programmes can be accomplished only if Member States provide the necessary facilities; whereas consideration should also be given to creating a joint training centre for indirect taxation officials which should  be located at the Joint Training Centre for customs officials of the Community referred to in Decision 91/341/EEC (4);Whereas, for the implementation of the Matthaeus-Tax programme, the sharing of expenses under the programme between the Community and the Member States should be determined; whereas, consequently, expenses could be shared by assigning those relating to  the language training of their officials to Member States and the travel and subsistence expenses of officials participating in the programme in another Member State as well as the costs relating to the organization of the seminars to the Community;Whereas there are reasons to anticipate a programme lasting for four years;Whereas it is necessary to ensure the uniform application of this Decision and, for that purpose, to provide for a Community procedure for the enactment of implementing rules; whereas a committee should be set up to provide a forum for close and  effective cooperation between Member States and the Commission in this field,. A Community action programme is hereby established for the vocational training of indirect taxation officials of national administrations (Matthaeus-Tax). For the purposes of this Decision:(a) 'indirect taxation' shall mean only those indirect taxes which are the subject of Community legislation;(b) 'exchange official' shall mean an official of a Member State required to visit another Member State within the context of this Decision;(c) 'host service' shall mean the taxation service in which the exchange official is required to perform his duties;(d) 'donor service' shall mean the taxation service in which the exchange official normally performs his duties. The objectives of the programme shall be:(a) to prepare indirect taxation officials of Member States for the implications arising out of the creation of the internal market and the development of administrative cooperation, and thus ensure a better application of Community law;(b) to make national officials aware of the Community dimension of their work and to build mutual confidence between the indirect taxation administrations of Member States;(c) to provide supplementary, adapted vocational training to indirect taxation officials;(d) to utilize to the maximum advantage the knowledge of the indirect taxation services in the Community through greater mobility of staff and thus improve the management and the effectiveness of the internal market;(e) to stimulate intensive and continuous cooperation at all levels of the relevant administrations with a view to them working together within the context of the internal market. The programme shall consist of the following training measures:(a) exchanges of indirect taxation officials between national administrations, in accordance with Article 5;(b) training seminars for officials, particularly trainers in training schools, officials responsible for administrative cooperation as well as officials responsible for indirect taxation controls and the fight against fraud and tax evasion;(c) the coordinated implementation of vocational training programmes in the training schools of Member States;(d) the organization in Member States of language training courses for officials likely to participate in exchanges, in accordance with Article 6. 1. Member States shall take the necessary steps to enable exchange officials to play an effective part in the host service's activities and to this end such officials shall be authorized to carry out the tasks relating to the duties entrusted  to them by the host service in accordance with its legal system.2. During the exchange, the civil liability of the exchange official in the performance of his duties shall be treated in the same way as that of the national officials in the host service.3. Exchange officials shall be bound by the same rules of professional secrecy as national officials. Member States shall provide the necessary language training for those of their officials who are likely to participate in the programme. 1. The expenses arising from the measures set out in Article 4 shall be shared between the Community and the Member States as provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3.2. The Community shall pay the travel and subsistence expenses for exchanges of officials between national administrations as provided for in Article 4 (a).The Community shall also pay the travel and subsistence expenses of officials participating, in another Member State, in the seminars referred to in Article 4 (b), as well as the costs relating to the organization of these seminars.3. Member States shall pay the expenses relating to the language training of their staff as provided for in Article 6. The annual budget appropriations for the measures provided for in the programme shall be adopted in the context of the budgetary procedure and in compliance with the relevant financial perspective. The arrangements necessary for the application of this Decision are decided by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10. 01. In carrying out its tasks, the Commission shall be assisted by a committee composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission.2. The Commission representative shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the Chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The  opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the  Committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The Chairman shall not vote.3. (a) The Commission shall adopt measures which shall apply immediately.(b) However, if these measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the committee, they shall be communicated by the Commission to the Council forthwith.In that event, the Commission may defer application of the measures which it has decided for a period of not more than one month from the date of such communication.The Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within the time limit referred to in the preceding subparagraph. 11. The programme will last for four years, starting from 1 July 1993.2.

37805,"2010/177/: Commission Decision of 23 March 2010 amending Decision 2006/109/EC by accepting three offers to join the joint price undertaking accepted in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain castings originating in the People’s Republic of China. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 8 and 11(3) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   PROCEDURE(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 (2) (the definitive Regulation), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain castings originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This Regulation was last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 500/2009 (3).(2) The Commission, by Decision 2006/109/EC (4) accepted a joint price undertaking from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronics Products (CCCME) together with 20 cooperating Chinese companies or cooperating groups of companies. This Decision was amended by Commission Decision 2008/437/EC (5).(3) The definitive Regulation gives the possibility to new Chinese exporting producers to be granted the same treatment as the cooperating companies in the original investigation, on the condition that these producers have been granted the new exporting producer treatment (NEPT) in accordance with Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005.(4) Following three requests for NEPT based on Article 1(4) of the definitive Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 426/2008 (6) amended the definitive Regulation and assigned an individual duty rate of 28,6 % to the exporting producers HanDan County Yan Yuan Smelting and Casting Co., Ltd (HanDan), XianXian Guozhuang Precision Casting Co., Ltd (XianXian) and Wuxi Norlong Foundry Co., Ltd (Norlong).(5) Following a request for NEPT based on Article 1(4) of the definitive Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 282/2009 (7) amended the definitive Regulation and assigned and individual duty rate of 28,6 % to the exporting producer Weifang Stable Casting Co., Ltd (Weifang).(6) It is recalled that all four exporting producers received individual treatment (IT) during the NEPT investigation.(7) Two of the four above-mentioned exporting producers granted NEPT (XianXian and Weifang) submitted together with the CCCME formal offers to join the joint liability undertaking accepted by the Commission.(8) On 10 June 2009, the Commission, by a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (8), initiated a partial interim review of the definitive measures. The review is limited in scope to the examination of the form of the measures and in particular to the examination of the acceptability and workability of undertakings offered by exporting producers in the PRC.(9) After the initiation of the partial interim review of the measures, yet another exporting producer granted NEPT, HanDan, submitted within the deadline, together with the CCCME a formal offer to join the joint liability undertaking accepted by the Commission.(10) Another exporting producer granted NEPT, Norlong, submitted that it does not wish to adhere to the joint undertaking accepted by the Commission, but offered, within the deadline, a separate undertaking.(11) On 15 December 2009, the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to accept the offers to join the joint price undertaking submitted by CCCME and HanDan, by CCCME and XianXian and by CCCME and Weifang and to reject the undertaking offered by Norlong were disclosed to interested parties. They were given the opportunity to comment. Their comments have been assessed before taking a final decision.B.   UNDERTAKING OFFERS(12) With regard to the undertaking offer submitted by CCCME together with Handan, XianXian and Weifang, it is noted that they are identical to the collective undertaking offer accepted by Decision 2006/109/EC and thus the CCCME and the three exporting producers undertake to ensure that the product concerned is exported at or above a minimum import price (MIP) set at a level that eliminates the injurious effect of dumping. It is recalled that the undertaking includes the indexation of the minimum import price of the product concerned in accordance with public international quotations for its main raw material, i.e. pig iron, given that casting prices vary significantly depending on the prices of pig iron.(13) In addition, a further investigation showed that there are no company specific reasons that would call for a refusal of the offer submitted by CCCME together with HanDan, XianXian and Weifang. In view of the foregoing, and as the companies received an individual duty rate, the Commission considers that it can accept the undertaking offer made by CCCME and the exporting producers.(14) Moreover, the regular and detailed reports which the CCCME and the companies undertake to provide to the Commission will allow effective monitoring. It is, therefore, considered that the risk of circumventing the undertaking is limited.(15) With regard to the separate undertaking offered by Norlong, it should be recalled that the original undertaking accepted by Decision 2006/109/EC was a joint liability undertaking of 20 companies together with the CCCME. The fact that it was offered as a joint undertaking contributed in a decisive manner to its acceptability by the Commission given that it increased the practicability and improved the control of the respect of the obligations deriving from the undertaking, all of this being necessary in view of the great number of exporting producers involved.(16) Norlong argued that the Commission had already accepted in the past at least one individual undertaking from a company which had not been granted market economy treatment (MET) but only individual treatment (9), as is the case of Norlong. However, it should be emphasized that the situation in the case referred to by Norlong is different from the situation in the original undertaking accepted by Decision 2006/109/EC: in the case referred to by Norlong, only one undertaking offer of one exporting producer was finally accepted. It should also be recalled that that undertaking was subsequently withdrawn by the Commission because of numerous breaches found, including cross-compensation schemes (10).(17) In the case of the undertaking accepted by Decision 2006/109/EC, the specificity of the situation, i.e. the great number of companies which exceeds 20, requires a particular set-up for a special control and monitoring. Norlong did not bring forward any relevant argument suggesting that it was in a different situation as the other companies part of the joint undertaking or justifying that the Commission should treat Norlong in a different way than the other companies that are part to the joint undertaking. Moreover, Norlong’s offer would imply a duplication of efforts of the Commission’s control and monitoring system. Since it would not be practicable and cost-effective for the Commission to control the respect of the obligations deriving from Norlong’s individual undertaking offer, the Commission considers that it cannot accept the separate undertaking offer made by Norlong.(18) The Union industry objected to the undertaking offer submitted by CCCME together with HanDan, XianXian and Weifang, arguing that the MIP would be too low to protect the European industry from the effect of dumped imports and that the Union industry is suffering further injury. As regards the level of the MIP, it should be noted that anti-dumping duties were imposed at the level of the dumping margins found which were lower than the injury margins. Therefore, the MIP was also set on the normal value and thus eliminates merely the dumping established, in conformity with the principle of the lesser duty rule set out in Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.(19) The Union industry further argued that, despite the imposition of anti-dumping measures, the market share of Chinese exporters increased since the original investigation period (11). The Union industry claimed that this was due to an increase in exports from China combined with a sharp drop in Union consumption. However, no conclusive evidence with regard to the alleged sharp drop in consumption was submitted. Moreover, from the statistics available (12), it appears that dumped imports have decreased by 14 % since the original investigation period.(20) In view of the above, none of the reasons put forward by the Union industry could alter the conclusion that the undertaking offer submitted by CCCME together with HanDan, Weifang and XianXian should be accepted.(21) In order to enable the Commission to monitor effectively the companies’ compliance with the undertaking, when the request for release into free circulation is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the anti-dumping duty will be conditional upon (i) the presentation of an undertaking invoice containing at least the elements listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 268/2006 (13); (ii) the fact that imported goods are manufactured, shipped and invoiced directly by the said company to the first independent customer in the Union; and (iii) the fact that the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the description on the undertaking invoice. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty shall instead be payable.(22) To further ensure the respect of the undertaking, importers have been made aware by Regulation (EC) No 268/2006 that the non-fulfilment of the conditions provided for by that Regulation, or the withdrawal by the Commission of the acceptance of the undertaking, may lead to a customs debt being incurred for the relevant transactions.(23) In the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or in case of withdrawal of acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission, the anti-dumping duty imposed in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation shall automatically apply pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation.(24) In view of the above, the undertaking offered by Norlong should be rejected. The offer submitted by CCCME and HanDan, by CCCME and XianXian and by CCCME and Weifang to join the joint price undertaking as accepted by Decision 2006/109/EC should be accepted, and Article 1 of Decision 2006/109/EC should be amended accordingly,. The undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain castings originating in the People’s Republic of China by: (i) the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronics Products (CCCME) and HanDan County Yan Yuan Smelting and Casting Co., Ltd; (ii) CCCME and XianXian Guozhuang Precision Casting Co. Ltd; and (iii) CCCME and Weifang Stable Casting Co., Ltd is hereby accepted.

vocational training policy (1),Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),Whereas the fundamental objectives of the common vocational training policy set down in the second principle of Decision 63/266/EEC aim in particular at enabling every person to reach the highest possible level of vocational training which is necessary for his professional activity, and refer also to broadening vocational training to meet requirements arising from technical progress, linking the different forms of vocational training to social and economic developments;Whereas on the basis of the sixth principle of that Decision it is the Commission's responsibility to encourage direct exchanges of vocational training specialists in order to enable them to acquaint themselves with and study the achievements and new developments in the other countries of the Community;Whereas the action programme in the field of education contained in the resolution of the Council and Ministers of Education, meeting within the Council, of 9 February 1976 (5) enable the Commission to implement initial measures for the promotion of university cooperation in the Community;Whereas the Council and Ministers of Education meeting within the Council confirmed on 3 June 1985 the importance which they attached to promoting an intensification of inter-university cooperation in the Community and noted with satisfaction the Commission's intention to submit proposals in this regard before the end of 1985;Whereas the Council has adopted measures with a view to strengthening technological cooperation at Community level and providing the necessary human resources for this purpose, notably through the programme on cooperation between universities and enterprises regarding training in the field of technology (COMETT) (6);Whereas the European Parliament on 13 March 1984 adopted a resolution on higher education and the development of cooperation between higher education establishments (7);Whereas the European Parliament on 14 March 1984 adopted a resolution on the academic recognition of diplomas and of periods of study (8);Whereas the European Council, at its meeting on 28 and 29 June 1985, approved the report of the ad hoc Committee on a People's Europe and mandated the Council and the Commission, acting within their respective powers, to ensure the implementation of the proposals contained therein;Whereas the Commission, in following up the People's Europe initiative of the European Council, has attached the highest priority to university cooperation;Whereas, in following up the European Council meeting in June 1984, the Commission has drawn up a

The Community will introduce a European network for university cooperation designed to stimulate Community-wide exchanges of students.The European university network will be composed of those universities which, in the framework of the ERASMUS programme, have concluded agreements for exchanges of students and teachers with universities of other Member States and which recognize study periods thus accomplished outside the home university.Each inter-university agreement will aim to give the students of one university the opportunity to undertake a fully recognized period of study in at least one other Member State, as an integral part of their diploma or academic qualification. These joint programmes may also include exchanges among teachers as well as cooperation among them in order to prepare the conditions necessary for the exchange of students and for the mutual recognition of periods of study accomplished abroad.2. Priority will be given to programmes involving an integrated and fully recognized period of study in another Member State. For each joint programme, the participating universities will be able to receive annual support at an average rate of 10 000 ECU with a ceiling of 25 000 ECU; the amount granted will be calculated on the basis of an assessment of the detalied estimate submitted by the universities concerned.3. The Community will also provide support for teaching staff and university administrators to visit other Member States, to enable them to prepare programmes of integrated study with universities of these Member States, and to exchange experience on the latest developments in their area of expertise.4. Support will be provided to encourage greater mobility of teaching staff in the Community so as to assist in the development of integrated courses and to enable teaching staff to teach in the universities of the different Member States, within the framework of the European network.ACTION 2ERASMUS student grants scheme1. The Community will introduce a scheme for the direct financial support of students at universities as defined in Article 1 (2) carrying out a period of study in another Member State. In determining the fair balance of grants available under Actions 1 and 2, the Community will have regard to the number of students to be exchanged within the European university network as it develops and will assume an average student grant of 2 000 ECU per year.2. The Community grants will be administered through the competent authorities in Member States. Having regard to the need to ensure a balanced participation of all Member States in the ERASMUS programme and having regard to the development of the European university network, the allocation of the amount to each Member State will be based on the total number of students at universities as defined in Article 1 (2), as well as on the total number of 18 to 25 year-olds in each Member State.3. The competent authorities in Member States will issue grants up to a maximum of 5 000 ECU to each student, on the basis of a stay of one year, subject to the following conditions:(a) the grants will support mobility costs, that is travel costs, foreign language preparation as necessary and higher cost of living in the host country (including, where appropriate, the extra cost of living away from the student's home country);(b) priority will be given to students on courses which are part of the European university network under Action 1, but grants may also be provided for students or groups of students on courses for which special arrangements are made outside the network in another Member State;(c) grants will only be awarded in cases where the period of study to be spent in another Member State will be granted full recognition by the student's home university; (d) no tuition fees will be charged by the host university and, where appropriate, grant holders will continue to pay tuition fees at their home university;(e) grants will normally be awarded for periods of study in another Member State for a minimum of one term or semester and a maximum of one year. They will not normally be awarded for the first year of university study;(f) maintenance grants available to a student in his own country will continue to be paid to ERASMUS students during their period of study at the host university.ACTION 3Measures to promote mobility through the academic recognition of diplomas and periods of studyThe Community will undertake, through cooperation with the competent authorities in the Member States, the following actions in order to promote mobility through the academic recognition of diplomas and periods of study acquired in another Member State:1. measures to promote the European Community Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS) on an experimental and voluntary basis in order to provide a means by which students undergoing or having completed higher education and training may receive credit for such training carried out at universities in other Member States. A limited number of grants of up to 20 000 ECU per year will be awarded to the universities participating in the pilot system;2. further development of the European Community Network of National Academic Recognition Information Centres; grants of up to 20 000 ECU per year will be awarded to the centres to facilitate exchange of information, in particular by means of a computerized system for data exchange;3. measures to promote, on a voluntary basis, joint curriculum development between universities in different Member States as a means of facilitating academic recognition and of contributing by means of an exchange of experience and expertise to the process of innovation and improvement of courses on a Community-wide basis. Grants of up to 20 000 ECU per year will be awarded to each project involved.ACTION 4Complementary measures to promote student mobility in the Community1. Grants of 20 000 ECU will be awarded to universities organizing intensive programmes of short duration, involving students from several Member States. In addition, grants will be provided to enable top-level experts to conduct a series of specialized lectures in several different Member States.2. To provide informational support for ERASMUS and to increase mutual awareness of university systems in the Community, ERASMUS will provide for:- support to university associations and consortia acting on a European basis, in particular with a view to making innovative initiatives in specific fields better known throughout the Community,- publications designed to enhance awareness of study and teaching opportunities in the other Member States, to draw attention to important developments and innovative models for university cooperation throughout the Community;- ERASMUS prizes to be awarded to students and staff members who have made an outstanding contribution to the development of inter-university cooperation within the Community.3. After the first year, the cost of measures under Actions 3 and 4 will not exceed 10 % of the annual appropriation for the ERASMUS programme.

The epidemiological investigations undertaken in 2009 suggested that a newly described strain of ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1), namely OsHV-1 μνar, played a major role in the increased mortality.(3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 175/2010 of 2 March 2010 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards measures to control increased mortality in oysters of the species Crassostrea gigas in connection with the detection of Ostreid herpesvirus 1 μνar (OsHV-1 μνar) (4) was adopted with the aim of preventing the further spread of OsHV-1 μνar. It introduced measures to control the spread of that disease and it applies until 30 April 2011.(4) Decision 2010/221/EU, as recently amended by Commission Decision 2011/187/EU (5), allows the Member States listed in Annex III thereto to impose placing on the market requirements on the movement of Pacific oysters into areas covered by approved surveillance programmes, in order to prevent the introduction of OsHV-1 μνar into those areas. In the interests of clarity and simplification of Union legislation, the respective placing on the market requirements should be laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008.(5) In order to prevent the introduction of OsHV-1 μνar into Member States or parts thereof listed in Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU, consignments of Pacific oysters intended for farming or relaying areas, and for dispatch centres, purification centres or similar businesses before human consumption, introduced into such Member States or parts thereof, should originate from an area with an equivalent health status.(6) To ensure that those requirements are complied with, such consignments should be accompanied by an animal health certificate providing the necessary attestations.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) It is appropriate to provide for transitional measures to allow Member States and the industry to take the necessary measures to comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.(9) To avoid the further spread of OsHV-1 μνar, this Regulation should apply immediately following the date of expiry of Regulation (EU) No 175/2010.(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,. Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 is amended as follows:(1) in Article 1, point (b)(ii) is replaced by the following:‘(ii) aquaculture animals intended for farming, relaying areas, put and take fisheries, open ornamental facilities and restocking, and for dispatch centres, purification centres and similar businesses before human consumption in Member States and parts thereof with national measures approved by Commission Decision 2010/221/EU (6);(2) in Article 8a(1)(a), the following point (iii) is added:‘(iii) Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU as subject to a surveillance programme for one or more of the diseases listed in the first column of that table;’;(3) the following Article 8b is inserted:(a) are introduced into Member States or parts thereof listed in the second and fourth column of the table set out in Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU as subject to a surveillance programme for one or more of the diseases listed in the first column of that table;(b) are of species which are listed in Part C of Annex II as species susceptible to the disease(s), for which a surveillance programme applies in accordance with Decision 2010/221/EU, as referred to in point (a).(a) inactivates enveloped viruses; or(b) reduces the risk of transmitting diseases to the natural waters to an acceptable level.’;(4) Annex II is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation. 1.   For a transitional period until 15 May 2011, consignments of Pacific oysters accompanied by animal health certificates issued in accordance with Part A or B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 before the amendments introduced by the present Regulation, and an animal health certificate issued in accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 175/2010 may be placed on the market provided that they reach their place of final destination before that date.2.   For a transitional period until 1 July 2012, consignments of aquaculture animals accompanied by animal health certificates issued in accordance with Part A or B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 before the amendments introduced by the present Regulation, may continue to be placed on the market provided that the animal health attestations as regards OsHV-1 μνar set out in Part II of those certificates are not applicable and they reach their place of final destination before that date.

39039,"2011/48/EU: Commission Decision of 24 January 2011 concerning the placing on the market for essential use of biocidal products containing temephos in the French overseas departments (notified under document C(2011) 167). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1) and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) The first subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that the Commission shall commence a 14-year work programme for the systematic examination of all active substances already on the market on 14 May 2000 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the review programme’).(2) Temephos was identified as available on the market before 14 May 2000 as an active substance of biocidal products for purposes other than those referred to in Article 2(2)(c) and (d) of Directive 98/8/EC. No dossier was submitted in support of the inclusion of temephos in Annex I, IA or IB to that Directive within the prescribed deadline.(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 (3), Member States had to cancel existing authorisations or registrations for biocidal products containing temephos with effect from 1 September 2006. Pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, biocidal products containing temephos shall no longer be placed on the market.(4) Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 lays down the conditions under which Member States may apply to the Commission for derogation from the provision laid down in Article 4(1) of that Regulation and the conditions for granting such derogation.(5) By Commission Decision 2007/226/EC (4), the Commission granted such derogation for biocidal products containing temephos used for vector mosquito control in the French overseas departments until 14 May 2009. By Commission Decision 2009/395/EC (5), the derogation was prolonged until 14 May 2010. On 4 March 2010, France submitted a report to the Commission relating to the use of temephos.(6) France has submitted an application to the Commission for extension of the derogation until 14 May 2014. The application contains information relating to recent important outbreaks of mosquito-spread epidemics in the French overseas departments. It explains the need for a range of insecticides to combat the epidemics and details the actions taken to substitute temephos, as well as the ongoing research on alternative methods subsidised by the French authorities. The Commission made the French application publicly available by electronic means on 1 August 2010 for a 60-day public consultation. No objection against the derogation sought was expressed during this period.(7) Given the magnitude of the outbreaks of mosquito-spread diseases in the French overseas departments, it is appropriate to allow the continued use of temephos. A further extension of the phase-out period for this substance is, therefore, necessary. The extension should take effect when the previous derogation ended,. By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, France may allow the placing on the market of biocidal products containing Temephos (EC No 222-191-1; CAS No 3383-96-8), for vector mosquito control in the French overseas departments until 14 May 2014. 1.   When allowing the placing on the market of biocidal products containing temephos in accordance with Article 1, France shall ensure that the following conditions are complied with:(a) continued use is only possible under the conditions that biocidal products containing temephos are approved for the intended essential use;(b) the continued use is only accepted so far as it has no unacceptable effect on human or animal health or on the environment;(c) all appropriate risk reduction measures are imposed when granting approval;(d) such biocidal products remaining on the market after 1 September 2006 are relabelled in order to match the restricted use conditions;(e) where appropriate, alternatives for such uses are being sought by the holders of the approvals or by France.2.   France shall inform the Commission annually on the application of paragraph 1 and in particular on the actions taken pursuant to point (e) of that paragraph. This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. This Decision shall take effect from 15 May 2010..

4802,"Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 on the banning of exports of metallic mercury and certain mercury compounds and mixtures and the safe storage of metallic mercury (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof and, in relation to Article 1 of this Regulation, Article 133 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),After consulting the Committee of the Regions,Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),Whereas:(1) Mercury releases are recognised as a global threat that warrants action at local, regional, national and global level.(2) In accordance with the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament entitled ‘Community Strategy Concerning Mercury’, the Council conclusions of 24 June 2005 and the European Parliament's resolution of 14 March 2006 (3) on the aforementioned strategy, it is necessary to reduce the risk of exposure to mercury for humans and the environment.(3) Measures taken at Community level must be seen as part of a global effort to reduce the risk of exposure to mercury, in particular in the framework of the Mercury Programme under the United Nations Environment Programme.(4) Environmental and social problems arise from the closure of mercury mines in the Community. The support of projects and other initiatives from the available funding mechanism should continue in order to allow the areas affected to find viable solutions for local environment, employment and economic activities.(5) The export of metallic mercury, cinnabar ore, mercury (I) chloride, mercury (II) oxide and mixtures of metallic mercury with other substances, including alloys of mercury, with a mercury concentration of at least 95 % weight by weight from the Community should be banned in order to significantly reduce the global mercury supply.(6) The export ban will result in considerable amounts of surplus mercury in the Community that should be prevented from re-entering the market. Therefore, the safe storage within the Community of this mercury should be ensured.(7) In order to provide for possibilities of safe storage of metallic mercury that is considered as waste, it is appropriate to derogate from Article 5(3)(a) of Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste (4) for certain types of landfill, and to declare the criteria set out in section 2.4 of the Annex to Council Decision 2003/33/EC of 19 December 2002 establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/31/EC (5) inapplicable for retrievable temporary storage of metallic mercury for more than one year in above-ground facilities dedicated to and equipped for this purpose.(8) The other provisions of Directive 1999/31/EC should apply to all storage facilities for metallic mercury that is considered as waste. This includes the requirement, set out in Article 8(a)(iv) of that Directive, that the applicant for a permit make adequate provision, by way of a financial security or any other equivalent, to ensure that the obligations (including after-care provision) arising under the permit are discharged and that the closure procedures are followed. Furthermore, Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage (6) applies to such storage facilities.(9) For temporary storage of metallic mercury for more than one year in above-ground facilities dedicated to and equipped for this purpose, Council Directive 96/82/EC of 9 December 1996 on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances (7) should apply.(10) This Regulation should be without prejudice to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (8). Nevertheless, in order to allow appropriate disposal of metallic mercury in the Community, the competent authorities of destination and dispatch are encouraged to avoid raising objections to shipments of metallic mercury that is considered as waste based on Article 11(1)(a) of that Regulation. It is noted that, according to Article 11(3) thereof, in the case of hazardous waste produced in a Member State of dispatch in such a small quantity overall per year that the provision of new specialised disposal installations within that Member State would be uneconomic, Article 11(1)(a) thereof shall not apply.(11) In order to ensure storage that is safe for human health and the environment, the safety assessment required for underground storage under Decision 2003/33/EC should be complemented by specific requirements and should also be made applicable to non-underground storage. No final disposal operation should be permitted until the special requirements and acceptance criteria are adopted. The storage conditions in a salt mine or in deep underground, hard rock formations, adapted for the disposal of metallic mercury, should notably meet the principles of protection of groundwater against mercury, prevention of vapour emissions of mercury, impermeability to gas and liquids of the surroundings and — in case of permanent storage — of firmly encapsulating the wastes at the end of the mines' deformation process. Those criteria should be introduced in the annexes to Directive 1999/31/EC, when they are amended for the purpose of this Regulation.(12) The above-ground storage conditions should notably meet the principles of reversibility of storage, protection of mercury against meteoric water, impermeability towards soils and prevention of vapour emissions of mercury. Those criteria should be introduced in the annexes to Directive 1999/31/EC when they are amended for the purpose of this Regulation. The above-ground storage of metallic mercury should be considered as a temporary solution.(13) The chlor-alkali industry should send all relevant data related to the decommissioning of mercury cells in their plants to the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned to facilitate enforcement of this Regulation. The industry sectors that gain mercury from the cleaning of natural gas or as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations should also provide the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned with relevant data. The Commission should make this information publicly available.(14) Member States should submit information on permits issued for storage facilities as well as on the application and the market effects of this Regulation, in order to allow for an assessment thereof in due time. Importers, exporters and operators should submit information on movements and use of metallic mercury, cinnabar ore, mercury (I) chloride, mercury (II) oxide and mixtures of metallic mercury with other substances, including alloys of mercury, with a mercury concentration of at least 95 % weight by weight.(15) Member States should determine the penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation to be imposed on natural and legal persons. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.(16) It is appropriate to organise an exchange of information with relevant stakeholders in order to assess the potential need for supplementary measures related to export, import and storage of mercury and to mercury compounds and products containing mercury without prejudice to the competition rules of the Treaty, in particular Article 81 thereof.(17) The Commission and the Member States should encourage the provision of technical assistance to developing countries and countries with economies in transition, especially assistance which facilitates the shift towards alternative mercury-free technologies and the eventual phase-out of uses and releases of mercury and mercury compounds.(18) Research is ongoing on the safe disposal of mercury, including the different techniques for stabilisation or other ways of immobilising mercury. The Commission should, as a matter of priority, keep this research under review and submit a report as soon as possible. This information is important as it will provide a sound basis for a review of this Regulation in order to achieve its objective.(19) The Commission should take this information into account when submitting an assessment report in order to identify possible needs for amending this Regulation.(20) The Commission should also follow international developments concerning mercury supply and demand, in particular multilateral negotiations, and report on these in order to enable the consistency of the overall approach to be assessed.(21) The measures necessary for the application of this Regulation concerning temporary storage of metallic mercury in certain facilities referred to herein should be adopted in accordance with Directive 1999/31/EC taking into account the direct link between this Regulation and that Directive.(22) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to reduce of exposure to mercury by means of an export ban and a storage obligation, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, and can therefore, by reason of the impact on the movement of goods and the functioning of the internal market as well as the trans-boundary nature of mercury pollution, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,. 1.   The export of metallic mercury (Hg, CAS RN 7439-97-6), cinnabar ore, mercury (I) chloride (Hg2Cl2, CAS RN 10112-91-1), mercury (II) oxide (HgO, CAS RN 21908-53-2) and mixtures of metallic mercury with other substances, including alloys of mercury, with a mercury concentration of at least 95 % weight by weight from the Community shall be prohibited from 15 March 2011.2.   The prohibition shall not apply to exports of compounds referred to in paragraph 1 for research and development, medical or analysis purposes.3.   The mixing of metallic mercury with other substances for the sole purpose of export of metallic mercury shall be prohibited from 15 March 2011.

This Directive derogates from the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Chapter IV of the Annex to Directive 93/43/EEC and lays down equivalent conditions to ensure the protection of public health and the safety and wholesomeness of the foodstuffs concerned. 1. The bulk transport in sea-going vessels of liquid oils or fats which are to be processed, and which are intended for or likely to be used for human consumption, is permitted in tanks that are not exclusively reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, subject to the following conditions:(a) that, where the oil or fat is transported in a stainless steel tank, or tank lined with epoxy resin or technical equivalent, the immediately previous cargo transported in the tank shall have been a foodstuff, or a cargo from the list of acceptable previous cargoes set out in the Annex;(b) that, where the oil or fat is transported in a tank of materials other than those in point (a), the three previous cargoes transported in the tanks shall have been foodstuffs, or from the list of acceptable previous cargoes set out in the Annex.2. The bulk transport in sea-going vessels of liquid oils or fats which are not to be further processed, and which are intended for or likely to be used for human consumption, is permitted in tanks that are not exclusively reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, subject to the following conditions:(a) that the tank shall be of stainless steel or lined with epoxy resin or technical equivalent;(b) that the three previous cargoes transported in the tank shall have been foodstuffs. 1. The captain of the sea-going vessel transporting, in tanks, bulk liquid oils and fats intended for or likely to be used for human consumption shall keep accurate documentary evidence relating to the three previous cargoes carried in the tanks concerned, and the effectiveness of the cleaning process applied between these cargoes.2.

27301,"2004/226/EC: Commission Decision of 4 March 2004 approving tests for the detection of antibodies against bovine brucellosis within the framework of Council Directive 64/432/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2004) 654). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), and in particular Article 6(2)(b) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Decision 2000/330/EC of 18 April 2000 approving tests for the detection of antibodies against bovine brucellosis within the framework of Council Directive 64/432/EEC(2) has been substantially amended(3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.(2) Bovine animals intended for intra-Community trade must, with regard to bovine brucellosis, come from a holding officially free of bovine brucellosis and, in addition, be tested within 30 days of dispatch by use of either a serum-agglutination test or any other test approved by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health procedure following the adoption of the relevant protocols.(3) In accordance with Article 16 of Directive 64/432/EEC, the Commission, in accordance with the procedures of Article 17 and on the basis of the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health, is to update and if necessary amend Annexes B, C and D (Chapter II) to adapt them to scientific developments.(4) The Commission has received the final report of the Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare on the modification of the technical Annexes to Directive 64/432/EEC to take account of scientific developments regarding tuberculosis, brucellosis and enzootic bovine leucosis(4).(5) In that report the Scientific Committee recommended the preferential use of ELISA tests, the complement fixation test and the buffered brucella antigen tests for the detection of antibodies against bovine brucellosis, carried out, inter alia, on samples of blood taken from individual bovine animals. The recommended procedures are in line with the internationally recognised standards set out by the Manual of standards for diagnostic tests and vaccines, third edition, 1996, of the Office International des Epizooties (OIE).(6) In August 2001 the OIE published the fourth edition 2000 of the said manual, including certain modifications in the description of tests for brucellosis.(7) It was therefore necessary to amend Annex C to Directive 64/432/EEC so as to lay down test procedures applicable for surveillance and trade purposes within the Community which reflect as much as possible the OIE standards but take also into account the advice of the Scientific Committee and of the national reference laboratories in the Member States cooperating within the framework of the European Union network of national reference laboratories for brucellosis.(8) It appears appropriate to recognise for certification purposes the brucellosis test results produced by use of ELISA tests, the complement fixation test and the buffered brucella antigen tests, if the tests were carried out in accordance with the approved protocols on samples of blood taken from individually identified bovine animals within the 30 days prior to certification of the tested animals for intra-Community trade.(9) Therefore, pending the update of the technical Annex D (Chapter II) in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 64/432/EEC, the ELISA tests, as specified in the report of the Scientific Committee, and the complement fixation test and the buffered brucella antigen tests, as specified in Annex C to that Directive, should be approved for brucellosis testing for certification purposes as provided for in Article 6(2)(b) and the animal health certificate in Annex F, model 1.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The complement fixation test, the buffered brucella antigen tests and the ELISA tests carried out in accordance with the provisions in Annex C to Directive 64/432/EEC are hereby approved for certification purposes. Where, for the purposes referred to in Article 6(2)(b) of Directive 64/432/EEC, a test referred to in Article 1 of this Decision is used, the test shall be specified in the column ""Test"" of the tables in point 3, second indent, and in point 5 of Section A in Annex F, Model 1 (health certificate) to Directive 64/432/EEC.

39066,"2011/104/EU: Commission Decision of 15 February 2011 on the clearance of the accounts of a paying agency in Italy concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) for the 2008 financial year (notified under document C(2011) 757). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 30 and Article 32(8) thereof,After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,Whereas:(1) Commission Decisions 2009/367/EC (2) and 2010/56/EU (3) cleared, for the 2008 financial year, the accounts of all the paying agencies except for the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’ and the Greek paying agency ‘OPEKEPE’.(2) Following the transmission of new information and after additional checks, the Commission can now take a decision on the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted by the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’.(3) The first subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (4) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) of the said Regulation, shall be determined by deducting the monthly payments in respect of the financial year in question, i.e. 2008, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with paragraph 1. The Commission shall deduct that amount from, or add it to, the monthly payment relating to the expenditure effected in the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.(4) Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the EU budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 885/2006. Annex III to the said Regulation provides the model table that had to be provided in 2009 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than 4 or 8 years respectively. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.(5) Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the EU budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the EU budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation.(6) In clearing the accounts of the paying agencies concerned, the Commission must take account of the amounts already withheld from the Member States concerned on the basis of Decisions 2009/367/EC and 2010/56/EU.(7) In accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, this Decision does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from EU financing expenditure not effected in accordance with EU rules,. The accounts of the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’ concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), in respect of the 2008 financial year, are hereby cleared.The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State concerned pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in Annex.

36456,"2009/333/EC: Commission Decision of 20 April 2009 on the financial contribution of the Community for the year 2009 for the computerisation of veterinary procedures, the system of notification of animal diseases, communication measures and studies and evaluations and on a direct grant to the OIE based on Article 168(1)(c) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 17, 20, 37(2) and 37a(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing the Community’s financial contribution towards specific veterinary measures, in particular as regards the information policy for animal health, animal welfare and food safety, technical and scientific measures and control.(2) Pursuant to Article 16 of Decision 90/424/EEC, the Community shall make a financial contribution to the establishment of an information policy in the field of animal health, animal welfare and food safety in products of animal origin, including the performance of studies necessary for the preparation and development of legislation in the field of animal welfare.(3) It is therefore appropriate for the Community to fund for the year 2009, studies, impact assessments, evaluations, and information policy covering the areas of food safety, animal health and welfare and zootechnics. The maximum amount to be allocated to these actions should be specified.(4) A feasibility study concerning the general revision of the Community farm animal welfare legislation and the integration of farm animal welfare indicators in the legislation should be performed. Furthermore, an impact assessment study concerning the animal welfare at transport and slaughter of farmed fish should be conducted. These studies will support the actions identified in the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010.(5) The Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010 (2) in particular foresees an evaluation of the progress as well as follow-up programming beyond 2010. There is therefore a need for a global evaluation of the Community policy on animal welfare before 2010.(6) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new Animal Health Strategy for the European Union (2007-2013) where ‘Prevention is better than cure’ (3) foresees the development of an EU Animal Health General Law and a harmonised EU framework of the criteria for responsibility and cost sharing schemes. Therefore, a study to support the Impact Assessment of the Animal Health General Law and a feasibility study for the revision of Decision 90/424/EEC should be conducted.(7) All the studies except for the feasibility study for the revision of Decision 90/424/EEC are subject to specific contracts under the DG SANCO Framework Contract on Evaluation, Impact Assessment and related services Lot 3 (Food Chain) (for which a call for tender was launched in 2004. Those specific contracts are to be signed between the Commission and the selected contractor as defined in the framework contract. A call for tender is to be launched in 2009 for carrying out the feasibility study for the revision of Decision 90/424/EEC.(8) Article 37a(1)(b) of Decision 90/424/EEC provides that a Community financial contribution may be granted for the computerisation of the veterinary procedures relating to hosting, management and maintenance of integrated computerised veterinary systems, including interfaces with national databases, where appropriate. A Community financial contribution should therefore be granted for the hosting, management and maintenance of the integrated computerised veterinary system Traces (Trade Control and Expert System), introduced by Commission Decision 2003/24/EC of 30 December 2002 concerning the development of an integrated computerised veterinary system (4), in order to ensure that the system is available, secure and updated.(9) Article 37(1) of Decision 90/424/EEC provides that the introduction of systems for identifying animals and notifying diseases under legislation concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade in live animals, with a view to the completion of the internal market, may receive Community financial assistance. A Community financial contribution should therefore be granted in order to update the animal disease notification system (ADNS), based on Commission Decision 2005/176/EC of 1 March 2005 laying down the codified form and the codes for the notification of animal diseases pursuant to Council Directive 82/894/EEC (5), with the necessary technical improvements.(10) The Communication on a new Animal Health Strategy for the European Union (2007-2013) acknowledges the importance of dialogue between citizens, civil society associations and the EC institutions (particularly the Commission). An effective communication strategy is therefore needed to promote animal health issues and the Animal Health Strategy principles to stakeholders, organisations and society as a whole.(11) Pursuant to Article 19 of Decision 90/424/EEC, the Community may undertake, or assist the Member States or international organisations in undertaking, the technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of Community veterinary legislation and for the development of veterinary education or training.(12) The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) is the intergovernmental organisation responsible for improving animal health worldwide. It is recognised as a reference organisation by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) for setting standards for international trade of animals and their products.(13) The OIE is planning an International Conference on Foot and Mouth Disease. This conference will support the actions identified in the Communication on a new Animal Health Strategy for the European Union (2007-2013). Therefore it is appropriate for the Community to contribute to this initiative in order to achieve a better protection from this disease. Therefore, the Community should support this OIE initiative.(14) The OIE has a de facto monopoly in its sector, as mentioned in Article 168(1)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (6); hence a call for proposals is not required in order for the Community to contribute to the organisation and hosting of an International Conference on Foot and Mouth Disease.(15) The present Decision constitutes a financing decision within the meaning of Article 75 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7) and Article 90 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002.(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ""cereal products"", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ""other cereals"", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

44087,"Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 547/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 amending Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 322 thereof,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a 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 Court of Auditors (1),Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),Whereas:(1) Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) was adopted on 25 October 2012 and was accompanied by a joint statement of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreeing to revise that Regulation in order to take into account the outcome of the negotiations on the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020.(2) Following the adoption of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (4) and Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), and in line with the joint statement, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 to include the carry-over rules for the Emergency Aid Reserve and for projects financed under the Connecting Europe Facility.(3) As regards the Emergency Aid Reserve, the corresponding appropriations are entered in Title ‘Reserves’ of the general budget of the Union. Therefore, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 in order to provide for the carry-over to year n+1 of the appropriations placed in reserve and not used in year n.(4) Due to their nature, projects financed under the Connecting Europe Facility will in many cases require complex contracting procedures. Therefore, even limited delays in the completion of such projects may result in a loss of annual commitment appropriations and undermine the viability of those projects and thus of the Union’s political determination to modernise its transport, energy and telecommunications networks and infrastructure. To prevent this, Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 should allow for the carry-over to the following financial year of commitment appropriations not used by the end of each of financial years 2014, 2015 and 2016 for projects financed under the Connecting Europe Facility. The carry-over should be submitted for approval to the European Parliament and the Council.(5) Following the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 in order to make decommitted appropriations available again for the purposes of the implementation of the performance reserve and the uncapped guarantee and securitisation financial instruments in favour of small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’),. Amendments to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 is hereby amended as follows:(1) Article 13 is amended as follows:(a) Paragraph 2 is amended as follows:(i) the following point is added:‘(c) amounts corresponding to commitment appropriations for the Emergency Aid Reserve;’;(ii) the following subparagraph is added:(b) Paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:(2) The title of Title II of Part Two is replaced by the following:(3) In Article 178, the following paragraph is added:(a) the decommitment of appropriations from a programme under the arrangements for the implementation of the performance reserve established in Article 20 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7);(b) the decommitment of appropriations from a programme dedicated to a specific financial instrument in favour of SMEs following the discontinuance of the participation of a Member State in the financial instrument, as referred to in the seventh subparagraph of Article 39(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.(4) The following article is inserted:(a) the European Parliament and the Council approve it;(b) either the European Parliament or the Council approves it and the other institution refrains from acting;(c) the European Parliament and the Council refrain from acting or do not take a decision to refuse it.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agree that in order for the Joint Undertakings to benefit from simplified financial rules better adapted to their public-private nature, they should be set up under Article 209 of the Financial Regulation.— In view of the specific nature and the current status of the Joint Undertakings, and in order to ensure continuity with the 7th Framework Programme, the Joint Undertakings should continue to be subject to a separate discharge to be given by the European Parliament upon recommendation of the Council. For this reason, specific derogations from Article 209 of the Financial Regulation shall be introduced in the constituent acts of the Joint Undertakings to be set up under Horizon 2020 Programme. Those derogations will refer to the separate discharge and will include any additional necessary adaptations.— In order to allow the Joint Undertakings to benefit immediately from the simplifications introduced in the new financial framework, it is necessary that the Commission delegated regulation of 30 September 2013 on the model financial regulation for PPP bodies under Article 209 of the Financial Regulation enters into force.2. The European Parliament and the Council take note that the Commission:— will ensure that the financial rules of the Joint Undertakings include derogations from the Model Financial Regulation for PPP bodies to reflect the introduction of the separate discharge in their constituent acts;— intends to propose relevant modifications to Articles 209 and 60(7) of the Financial Regulation in the framework of the future revision of the Financial Regulation.

In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

44748,"Council Directive (EU) 2015/2060 of 10 November 2015 repealing Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 115 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,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee,Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,Whereas:(1) Building on the consensus reached at the European Council of 20 June 2000 that relevant information should be exchanged for tax purposes on as wide a basis as possible, Council Directive 2003/48/EC (1) has been applied in the Member States since 1 July 2005 with the aim of enabling savings income in the form of interest payments made in one Member State to beneficial owners who are individuals resident in another Member State to be made subject to effective taxation in accordance with the laws of the latter Member State, thus eliminating distortions in capital movements between Member States, which would be incompatible with the internal market.(2) The worldwide aspect of the challenges posed by cross-border tax fraud and evasion is a major concern at a global level and within the Union. Unreported and untaxed income considerably reduces national tax revenues. On 22 May 2013, the European Council welcomed ongoing efforts made in the G8, G20 and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to develop a global standard.(3) Council Directive 2011/16/EU (2) provides for the mandatory automatic exchange of certain information between Member States. It also provides for the step-by-step extension of its scope into new categories of income and capital, for the purpose of combating cross-border tax fraud and evasion.(4) On 9 December 2014, the Council adopted Directive 2014/107/EU (3) which amended Directive 2011/16/EU to extend the mandatory automatic exchange of information to a wider range of income in accordance with the Global Standard released by the OECD Council in July 2014 and ensured a coherent, consistent and comprehensive Union-wide approach to the automatic exchange of financial account information in the internal market.(5) Directive 2014/107/EU is generally broader in scope than Directive 2003/48/EC and provides that in cases of overlap of scope, Directive 2014/107/EU is to prevail. There are still residual cases in which only Directive 2003/48/EC applies. Those residual cases are the consequence of slight differences in approach between the two Directives and of different specific exemptions. In those limited instances, the application of Directive 2003/48/EC would result in dual reporting standards within the Union. The minor benefits of retaining such dual reporting would be outweighed by the costs.(6) On 21 March 2014, the European Council invited the Council to ensure that relevant Union law is fully aligned with the new single Global Standard of automatic exchange of information developed by the OECD. In addition, when adopting Directive 2014/107/EU, the Council invited the Commission to present a proposal to repeal Directive 2003/48/EC and to coordinate the repeal of that Directive with the date of application set down in Directive 2014/107/EU, having regard to the derogation provided therein for Austria. Therefore, Directive 2003/48/EC should continue to apply to Austria for an additional one-year period. In the light of the position taken by the Council, the repeal of Directive 2003/48/EC is needed in order to avoid dual reporting obligations and to save costs both for tax authorities and economic operators.(7) Under Council Directive 2014/48/EU (4), Member States are to adopt and publish, by 1 January 2016, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that Directive. Member States are to apply those provisions as of 1 January 2017. With the repeal of Directive 2003/48/EC, Directive 2014/48/EU would no longer have to be transposed.(8) To ensure the seamless continuation of automatic reporting of financial account information, the repeal of Directive 2003/48/EC should apply on the same day as the date of application of the measures set down in Directive 2014/107/EU.(9) Notwithstanding the repeal of Directive 2003/48/EC, information gathered by paying agents, economic operators and by Member States before the date of the repeal should be processed and transferred as originally envisaged, and obligations arising before that date should be met.(10) In relation to withholding tax levied under the transitional period referred to in Directive 2003/48/EC, in order to protect the acquired rights of beneficial owners, Member States should continue to give credit or refunds as originally envisaged and should issue certificates on request to enable beneficial owners to ensure that withholding tax is not levied.(11) Account should be taken of the fact that, in view of structural differences, Austria has been allowed a derogation under Directive 2014/107/EU which allows it to delay the application of that Directive by one year until 1 January 2017. However, on the adoption of Directive 2014/107/EU, Austria announced that it would not make full use of the derogation. Instead, Austria is to exchange information by September 2017, albeit on a limited set of accounts, while retaining the derogation in other cases. Therefore, specific provision should be made to ensure that Austria, and the paying agents and economic operators established therein, continue to apply the provisions of Directive 2003/48/EC during the period of derogation, except for those accounts to which Directive 2014/107/EU applies.(12) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles which are recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, including the right to the protection of personal data, and nothing in this Directive shall reduce or eliminate those rights.(13) Since the objective of this Directive, namely the repeal of Directive 2003/48/EC with the temporary exceptions necessary to protect the acquired rights and to take account of the derogation allowed to Austria under Directive 2014/107/EU, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the uniformity and effectiveness required, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.(14) Directive 2003/48/EC should therefore be repealed,. 1.   Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3, Directive 2003/48/EC is repealed with effect from 1 January 2016.2.   Without prejudice to paragraph 3, the following obligations of Directive 2003/48/EC, as amended by Council Directive 2006/98/EC (5), shall continue to apply:(a) the obligations of Member States and economic operators established therein under the second subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 2003/48/EC shall continue to apply until 5 October 2016 or until those obligations have been fulfilled;(b) the obligations of paying agents under Article 8 of Directive 2003/48/EC and of Member States of paying agents under Article 9 of Directive 2003/48/EC shall continue to apply until 5 October 2016 or until those obligations have been fulfilled;(c) the obligations of Member States of residence for tax purposes of the beneficial owners under Article 13(2) of Directive 2003/48/EC shall continue to apply until 31 December 2016;(d) the obligations of Member States of residence for tax purposes of the beneficial owners under Article 14 of Directive 2003/48/EC, with regard to withholding tax levied during 2016 and previous years, shall continue to apply until those obligations have been fulfilled.3.   Directive 2003/48/EC, as amended by Directive 2006/98/EC, shall continue to apply with regard to Austria until 31 December 2016, with the exception of the following obligations:(a) the obligations of Austria and the underlying obligations of the paying agents and economic operators established therein under Article 12 of Directive 2003/48/EC, which shall continue to apply until 30 June 2017 or until those obligations have been fulfilled;(b) the obligations of Austria and economic operators established therein under the second subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 2003/48/EC, which shall continue to apply until 30 June 2017 or until those obligations have been fulfilled;(c) any obligations of Austria and the underlying obligations of the paying agents established therein arising directly or indirectly from the procedures referred to in Article 13 of Directive 2003/48/EC, which shall continue to apply until 30 June 2017 or until those obligations have been fulfilled.Notwithstanding the first subparagraph, Directive 2003/48/EC, as amended by Directive 2006/98/EC, shall not apply after 1 October 2016 to interest payments with regard to accounts for which the reporting and due diligence obligations included in Annexes I and II to Directive 2011/16/EU have been fulfilled and for which Austria has communicated by automatic exchange the information referred to in Article 8(3a) of Directive 2011/16/EU within the deadline laid down in point (b) of Article 8(6) of Directive 2011/16/EU.

43776,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 32/2014 of 14 January 2014 initiating a ‘new exporter’ review of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China as amended by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013, repealing the duty with regard to imports of one exporter in this country and making such imports subject to registration. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (‘the basic Regulation’) (1) and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,After having consulted the Advisory Committee in accordance with Articles 11(4) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,Whereas:A.   REQUEST(1) The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request for a ‘new exporter’ review under Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation.(2) The request was lodged on 3 May 2013 by Ningbo Logitrans Handling Equipment Co., Ltd (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts in the People’s Republic of China (‘the country concerned’).B.   PRODUCT(3) The product under review is hand pallet trucks and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, currently falling within CN codes ex 8427 90 00 (TARIC codes 8427900011 and 8427900019) and ex 8431 20 00 (TARIC codes 8431200011 and 8431200019) and originating in the People’s Republic of China.C.   EXISTING MEASURES(4) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 (2) as amended by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013 (3), under which imports into the Union of the product under review, including the product produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 70,8 %. The measures are also applicable to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts consigned from Thailand whether declared as originating in Thailand or not pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 499/2009 (4).D.   GROUNDS(5) The applicant claims that it operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.(6) It further claims that it did not export the product under review to the Union during the investigation period on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004 (‘the original investigation period’).(7) Furthermore, the applicant claims that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product under review which are subject to the above-mentioned anti-dumping measures.(8) The applicant further claims that it has begun exporting the product under review to the Union after the end of the original investigation period.E.   PROCEDURE(9) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine the applicant’s individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which its imports of the product under review into the Union shall be subject. Upon receipt of the claim for market economy treatment, it will be determined whether the applicant operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.(10) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable under Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013.(a)   Questionnaires(11) In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.(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.(13) Union producers known to be concerned have been informed of the request for a review and have been given an opportunity to comment.(14) Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(c)   Market economy treatment(15) If the applicant provides sufficient evidence that it operates under market economy conditions, i.e. that it meets the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, normal value will be determined in accordance with Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation. For this purpose, duly substantiated claims must be submitted within the specific time limit set in Article 4 of this Regulation. The Commission will send a claim form to the applicant, as well as to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China.(d)   Selection of the market economy country(16) If the applicant is not granted market economy treatment, an appropriate market economy country will be used for the purpose of establishing normal value for the People’s Republic of China in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation. The Commission envisages using Brazil for this purpose as was done in the investigation which led to the imposition of measures on imports from the People’s Republic of China. Interested parties are invited to comment on the appropriateness of this choice within the specific time limit set in Article 4 of this Regulation.(17) If the applicant is granted market economy treatment but reliable required data are not available in the People’s Republic of China, the Commission may, if necessary, also use findings concerning the normal value established in an appropriate market-economy country, e.g. for the purpose of replacing any unreliable cost or price elements in the People’s Republic of China which are needed in establishing the normal value. The Commission envisages using Brazil also for this purpose.F.   REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS(18) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product under review which are produced and sold for export to the Union by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied from the date of the registration of these imports. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the investigation.G.   TIME LIMITS(19) 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 any information to be taken into account during the investigation,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission,— interested parties may comment on the appropriateness of the use of Brazil as explained in recitals 16 and 17 above,— the applicant should submit a duly substantiated claim for market economy treatment.(20) 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 indicated in Article 4 of this Regulation.H.   NON-COOPERATION(21) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(22) If an interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.(23) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.(24) Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.I.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION(25) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 11(5) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.J.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(26) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).K.   HEARING OFFICER(27) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services.

The anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013 is hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1 of the present Regulation. The Customs authorities shall, pursuant to Article 11(4) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation. 1.   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 a reply to the questionnaire indicated in recital (12) of this Regulation or any information to be taken into account within 37 days from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, unless otherwise specified.2.   Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time-limit.3.   A duly substantiated claim for market economy treatment must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of the entry into force of this Regulation.4.   Parties to the investigation wanting to comment on the appropriateness of Brazil, which is envisaged as a market economy third country, must submit their comments within 10 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.5.   All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, completed questionnaires and correspondence provided by interested parties for which confidential treatment is requested shall be labelled ‘Limited’ (6).6.   Interested parties providing ‘Limited’ information are required to furnish non-confidential summaries of it pursuant to Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.

The value of such supplies usually does not exceed EUR 10 000 per consignment and 89 % of those goods have the status of goods in free circulation on the territory of Croatia.(4) Article 43 of the Act concerning the conditions of accession provides that the Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, is to define the terms under which the requirement for an entry or exit summary declaration may be waived as regards Union goods that are moved across the Neum Corridor.(5) According to Articles 36a, 36b, 182a and 182b of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1) (‘the Community Customs Code’), goods brought into or leaving the customs territory of the Union shall be covered, in advance, by a summary declaration submitted electronically which contains the particulars necessary for the performance of risk analysis.(6) Given the specific characteristics of the local economy it is appropriate to provide for waivers from the obligation to lodge entry and exit summary declarations for Union goods moved across the Neum Corridor.(7) Customs authorities should perform risk analysis and customs security checks on the basis of the data present on the invoice and transport documents accompanying the goods.(8) The current arrangements derogate from the principle of electronic pre-departure and pre-arrival submission of safety and security data set up under the Community Customs Code. In order to ensure effective and efficient risk analysis and controls for the purposes of safety and security, Croatia should ensure that the border crossing points at the Neum Corridor have the necessary human resources, equipment and control.(9) Where a consignment is found not to fulfil the requirements of this Regulation, the consignment in question should not be allowed to re-enter the territory of Croatia unless an assessment of the risk involved has been carried out and effective and targeted measures based upon a risk analysis have been adopted.(10) In addition to the exchange of information for the purposes of safety and security as provided for under Article 4g(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), Croatia should regularly inform the Commission under the procedures of the Common Risk Management Framework of any irregularities found and, where applicable, of measures subsequently adopted with regard to the movement of goods across the Neum Corridor.(11) An assessment for the purposes of verifying the proper application of this Regulation should be carried out by the Commission not later than two years after the date of Croatia’s accession,. Subject matter and scopeThis Regulation lays down the rules under which:(a) the requirement for an exit summary declaration is waived for Union goods exiting the territory of Croatia to be moved across the Neum corridor;(b) the requirement for an entry summary declaration is waived for Union goods when they re-enter the territory of Croatia after having moved across the Neum corridor. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:(1) ‘Union goods’ means the goods defined in Article 4(7) of the Community Customs Code;(2) ‘Area of Dubrovnik’ means Dubrovnik and its surrounding area in the territory of Croatia which is separated by the Neum corridor from the mainland territory of Croatia;(3) ‘Mainland territory of Croatia’ means the territory of Croatia except for the area of Dubrovnik;(4) ‘Neum Corridor’ means the area which is a part of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina that separates the area of Dubrovnik from the mainland territory of Croatia;(5) ‘Customs authorities’ means the customs authorities of Croatia at the exit and re-entry border crossing points at the Neum Corridor;(6) ‘Exit’ means the exit of goods, either from the area of Dubrovnik into the mainland territory of Croatia through the Neum Corridor, or from the mainland territory of Croatia into the area of Dubrovnik through the Neum Corridor;(7) ‘Re-entry’ means the entry of goods into the area of Dubrovnik from the mainland territory of Croatia through the Neum Corridor, or into the mainland territory of Croatia from the area of Dubrovnik through the Neum Corridor. Waiver from the requirement to submit an exit or an entry summary declaration1.   No exit summary declaration shall be required for Union goods upon their exit.2.   No entry summary declaration shall be required for Union goods upon their re-entry. Conditions for the application of the waiver shall apply where the following conditions are met:(a) the total value of each consignment of Union goods moved across the Neum Corridor does not exceed EUR 10 000 or its equivalency in local currency;(b) the goods referred to under point (a) of this Article are accompanied by invoices or transport documents which:(i) include at least the particulars referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 317(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, as well as the total value of the goods;(ii) are endorsed with official markings by the customs authorities upon exit;(iii) are presented for verification to the customs authorities upon re-entry.

InformationCroatia shall inform the Commission about any irregularities found as regards the application of this Regulation as well as concrete measures that have been taken in order to remedy those irregularities at any time but no later than 1 March 2014.

38279,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2010 of 26 February 2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs as regards aflatoxins (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 of 19 December 2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (2) sets maximum levels for aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin total (aflatoxin B1 + G1 + B2 + G2) in a range of foodstuffs.(2) It is necessary to amend certain maximum levels for aflatoxins in certain foodstuffs to take into account developments in Codex Alimentarius and new information contained in recent scientific advice.(3) Codex Alimentarius established a level of 15 μg/kg aflatoxin total in almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios intended for further processing and a level of 10 μg/kg aflatoxin total in almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios ‘ready-to-eat’ (3).(4) The Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (Contam Panel) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted on 25 January 2007 an opinion on the potential increase of consumer health risk by a possible increase of the existing maximum levels for aflatoxins in almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios and derived products (4). The Contam Panel concluded that changing the maximum levels for total aflatoxins from 4 to 8 or 10 μg/kg in almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios would have minor effects on the estimates of dietary exposure, cancer risk and the calculated margins of exposure (MOEs). The Panel furthermore concluded that exposure to aflatoxins from all sources should be as low as reasonably achievable, because aflatoxins are genotoxic and carcinogenic. The data indicate that reduction of total dietary exposure to aflatoxins could be achieved by reducing the number of highly contaminated foods reaching the market through more effective enforcement and reducing exposure from food sources other than almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios.(5) The Contam Panel adopted on 16 June 2009 a statement on the effects on public health of an increase of the levels for aflatoxin total from 4 μg/kg to 10 μg/kg for tree nuts other than almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios (5). The Panel concluded that based on the information which was available in 2007 public health would not be adversely affected by increasing the levels for total aflatoxins from 4 μg/kg to 10 μg/kg for other tree nuts, including Brazil nuts. Given the current discussions in Codex Alimentarius on the maximum levels for aflatoxins in Brazil nuts, it is appropriate to align the level for aflatoxins in Brazil nuts with the Codex level for almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios.(6) Codex Alimentarius established only a maximum level for aflatoxin total. The corresponding aflatoxin B1 level was determined by making use of the database on occurrence of aflatoxins in food used by EFSA for the exposure assessment.(7) In the EFSA opinion on aflatoxins it is observed that oilseeds and derived products are an important contributor to the human aflatoxin exposure. EFSA concluded that exposure to aflatoxins from all sources should be as low as reasonably achievable. Furthermore, notifications in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) indicate high levels of aflatoxins in oilseeds such as sunflower seeds, melon seeds etc. It is therefore proposed to also set a maximum level for oilseeds other than groundnuts (peanuts), in line with the existing maximum levels for groundnuts (peanuts). However, as aflatoxins are nearly completely removed by the process for producing refined vegetable oils, it is appropriate to exclude oilseeds, including groundnuts (peanuts), intended for crushing for refined vegetable oil and refined vegetable oil.(8) A maximum level of 2 μg/kg for aflatoxin B1 and 4 μg/kg aflatoxin total has been established in all cereals and all products derived from cereals with the exception of maize to be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment before human consumption for which a maximum level of 5 μg/kg for aflatoxin B1 and 10 μg/kg for aflatoxin total has been established. Rice in husk regularly contains levels of aflatoxins slightly above the maximum levels. After milling, a process which removes the husk, the levels of aflatoxins in the white milled rice are below the maximum levels. It is therefore appropriate to apply the same approach for rice as the existing approach for maize, and to set a higher maximum level of aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin total for rice to be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment before human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs.(9) The maximum levels refer to the edible part of the tree nuts. However, recent scientific evidence has demonstrated that a part of the aflatoxin contamination can be found on the shell of Brazil nuts. Therefore, it is appropriate to modify the footnote in the Annex, indicating the procedure to be followed in case tree nuts ‘in shell’ are analysed, to take into account this recent scientific information.(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,. Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is amended as follows:1. Article 4 is replaced by the following:(a) are not intended for direct human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs;(b) comply with the appropriate maximum levels laid down in points 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.9 and 2.1.12 of the Annex;(c) are subjected to a treatment involving sorting or other physical treatment and that after this treatment the maximum levels laid down in points 2.1.5, 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 2.1.10 and 2.1.11 of the Annex are not exceeded, and this treatment does not result in other harmful residues;(d) are labelled clearly showing their use, and bearing the indication “product shall be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment to reduce aflatoxin contamination before human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs”. The indication shall be included on the label of each individual bag, box etc. and on the original accompanying document. The consignment/batch identification code shall be indelibly marked on each individual bag, box etc. of the consignment and on the original accompanying document.’;2. Article 5 is replaced by the following:3. the Annex is amended as follows:(a) subsection 2.1 (Aflatoxins) is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation;(b) footnote 5 is replaced by the following:‘(5) The maximum levels refer to the edible part of groundnuts (peanuts) and tree nuts. If groundnuts (peanuts) and tree nuts “in shell” are analysed, it is assumed when calculating the aflatoxin content all the contamination is on the edible part, except in the case of Brazil nuts.’;(c) the following footnotes are added:‘(40) Oilseeds falling under codes CN 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205, 1206, 1207 and derived products CN 1208; melon seeds fall under code ex 1207 99.(41) In case derived/processed products thereof are derived/processed solely or almost solely from the tree nuts concerned, the maximum levels as established for the corresponding tree nuts apply also to the derived/processed products. In other cases, Article 2(1) and 2(2) apply for the derived/processed products.’ This Regulation shall not apply to apricot kernels, oilseeds, other than groundnuts (peanuts) and processed products thereof, which were placed on the market at a date prior to the date of application in conformity with the provisions applicable at such date.The burden of proving when the products were placed on the market shall be borne by the food business operator.

34894,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1529/2007 of 21 December 2007 opening and providing for the administration in 2008 and 2009 of import quotas for rice originating in the ACP States which are part of the Cariforum region and the overseas countries and territories (OCTs). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (1), and in particular the seventh subparagraph of Article 6(5) of Annex III thereto,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for goods originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (2), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (3), and in particular Articles 10(2) and 13(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 applies the trading arrangements for goods originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) provided for in the agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic and Partnership Agreements (EPA). Under Article 6 of that Regulation, in 2008 and 2009 import quotas for rice originating in the states listed in Annex I thereto which form part of the Cariforum region are to be opened at zero duty for products of tariff heading 1006, with the exception of subheading 1006 10 10 for which imports are completely exempt from duties as of 1 January 2008.(2) Under Article 6 of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, ACP/OCTs cumulation of origin is allowed for a total annual quantity of 160 000 tonnes in husked-rice equivalent, for products falling within tariff heading 1006. Of that total quantity, an initial issue of import licences for 35 000 tonnes of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (hereinafter 'OCTs) is made each year and, within this quantity, import licences for 10 000 tonnes are issued for imports originating in the least-developed OCTs. All other import licences are issued for imports originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. These quantities may be increased if the ACP States do not actually use their direct export options under the 125 000 tonne tariff quota provided for in the Cotonou agreement.(3) Given that, from 1 January 2008, the trading arrangements of the Cotonou agreement no longer apply and the tariff quota for rice provided for therein is replaced by the preferential arrangements provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, it should be laid down that the quota of 35 000 tonnes reserved for the OCTs may be increased if imports of rice into the Community under the preferential arrangements provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 do not reach 125 000 tonnes.(4) To ensure that the import arrangements for rice provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 and by Decision 2001/822/EC are properly managed, the detailed rules for issuing import licences for rice originating in the Cariforum states and the OCTs in 2008 and 2009 should be laid down in a single text. Commission Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 of 22 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of import quotas for rice originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and the overseas countries and territories (OCTs) should therefore be repealed (4).(5) Without prejudice to the additional conditions or relevant derogations laid down for the management of these import arrangements, account should be taken of the provisions of the horizontal or sectoral implementing regulations, that is, Commission Regulations (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5), (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (6), and (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (7).(6) To ensure balanced market management, the issue of import licences relating to the above import quotas is to be staggered over the year in several specific subperiods and the period of validity of the licences should be laid down.(7) Quantities of rice at stages of processing other than husked rice shall be converted at the rates laid down in Article 1 of Commission Regulation No 467/67/EEC (8). Provision should also be made for the conversion of quantities of broken rice.(8) In order to ensure proper administration of the quotas provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 and Decision 2001/822/EC, a security should be lodged in conjunction with an import licence application at a level commensurate with the risks involved.(9) Imports from the OCTs must be covered by import licences issued on the basis of an export licence issued by bodies authorised by the OCTs.(10) Licences not used to import rice originating in the least-developed OCTs should be made available for the import of rice originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, without precluding the possibility of carrying quantities forward to subsequent subperiods in the year.(11) As the agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements enter into force from 1 January 2008, the measures provided for in this Regulation should apply from the same date.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,. 1.   Zero-duty annual import tariff quotas are hereby opened on 1 January for products falling within CN code 1006, with the exception of CN code 1006 10 10, originating in the states which are part of the Cariforum region, as referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, under the following references:(a) 187 000 tonnes under serial number 09.4219 for 2008;(b) 250 000 tonnes under serial number 09.4220 for 2009.2.   Zero-duty annual import tariff quotas for a total quantity of 35 000 tonnes of rice originating in the OCTs or with ACP/OCTs cumulation of origin are hereby opened on 1 January 2008 and 2009 for products falling within CN code 1006 in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 6(5) of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, under the following references:(a) 25 000 tonnes under serial number 09.4189 for the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba;(b) 10 000 tonnes under serial number 09.4190 for the least-developed OCTs referred to in Annex I B to Decision 2001/822/EC.3.   The import tariff quotas referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be divided into subperiods in accordance with Annex I hereto.4.   The quotas referred to in paragraph 2 may be increased depending on the circumstances and within the limits provided for in Article 10(1) and (2) of this Regulation.5.   Unless otherwise specified, the quantities indicated in this Regulation shall be expressed in husked-rice equivalent.Quantities of rice at stages of processing other than husked rice shall be converted at the rates laid down in Article 1 of Regulation No 467/67/EEC.For the purposes of this Regulation, quantities of broken rice shall be converted into quantities of husked rice on the basis of product weight.6.   Regulations (EC) Nos 1291/2000, 1342/2003 and 1301/2006 shall apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.CHAPTER IICOMMON IMPLEMENTING RULES 1.   Import licence applications required pursuant to Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 shall be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States in the first seven days of each subperiod.2.   The quantity applied for in respect of each subperiod and quota serial number concerned shall not exceed 5 000 tonnes.

5219,"2011/502/EU: Commission Decision of 10 August 2011 on setting up the Group of Experts on Trafficking in Human Beings and repealing Decision 2007/675/EC. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Whereas:(1) Article 67(3) of the Treaty assigned the European Union the task of ensuring a high level of security within the area of freedom, security and justice. That objective is to be achieved by preventing and combating crime, organised and other, including trafficking in human beings and crimes against children.(2) According to Article 5(3) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, trafficking in human beings is prohibited.(3) Trafficking in human beings, as defined in Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2002/629/JHA (1), is a serious crime comprising violations of fundamental human rights and human dignity and requiring a multi-disciplinary approach across the entire trafficking chain, encompassing countries of origin, transit and destination alike.(4) On 25 March 2003, by Decision 2003/209/EC (2), the Commission decided to set up a consultative group known as the ‘Experts Group on Trafficking in Human Beings’. By Decision 2007/675/EC (3), the Commission repealed the Decision of 25 March 2003 and set up a new consultative group, the Group of Experts on Trafficking in Human Beings, which has contributed substantively to the prevention of and the fight against trafficking in human beings and enabled the Commission to gather opinions about initiatives relating to trafficking in human beings. Following the expiry of the 3-year period of validity of Decision 2007/675/EC, it has to be repealed and replaced.(5) In the light of the valuable work carried out by both expert groups since 2003 that has enabled the Commission to further develop its policy in this area, and taking into account the increasing importance at global level of the policy on trafficking in human beings, there is a continuing need for a group of experts.(6) A new group of experts should continue to advise the Commission, taking into account recent developments at EU level. These include, the adoption of Directive 2011/36/EU; the appointment of the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator; the Action-Oriented Paper on strengthening the EU external dimension on action against trafficking in human beings, of 30 November 2009.(7) The group should be composed of 15 members representing a wide range of expertise in all the aspects of anti-trafficking policies and also a balanced representation in terms of institutional background and geographic regions.(8) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the group should be laid down.(9) Personal data relating to members of the group should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (4).(10) The term of office of the members should be 4 years and should be renewable.(11) It is appropriate to fix a period for the application of this Decision. The Commission will in due time consider the advisability of an extension.(12) Decision 2007/675/EC should be repealed,. Subject matterThe Group of Experts on Trafficking in Human Beings, hereinafter referred to as ‘the group’, is hereby established.

25307,"2003/811/EC: Commission Decision of 17 November 2003 establishing a project for standard sera for the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease and the financial contribution by the Community for the year 2003. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 19 of Decision 90/424/EEC requires the Community to undertake the technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of veterinary legislation.(2) Since 1992, the Community has followed a strict policy of prohibiting prophylactic vaccination with regard to foot-and-mouth disease. Therefore, livestock in the Community are highly receptive to the foot-and-mouth disease virus. The epidemiological situation in some third countries neighbouring or trading with the Community makes it necessary to provide for measures allowing rapid diagnosis of the disease, emergency vaccination and subsequent testing of vaccinated animals to identify infected herds.(3) To carry out serological tests, it is necessary to make available standard reference sera to be used in laboratory tests for the detection of antibodies to both structural and non-structural proteins of the foot-and-mouth disease virus.(4) In accordance with Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease(3) repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC, serological surveillance carried out in the aftermath of an outbreak is a precondition for the withdrawal of restrictions imposed on trade in live animals of susceptible species and their products. Making standard sera available may consequently contribute to the development of Community legislation on foot-and-mouth disease.(5) The financial resources necessary for the Community contribution to the production, storage and distribution of a first batch of standard sera for the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease in 2003 should therefore be engaged.(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,. The Community shall finance a project for the production, storage and distribution of a first batch of standard sera to be used in assays for the detection of antibodies against structural and non-structural proteins of different serotypes of the foot-and-mouth disease virus in different species of livestock susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease. The measures provided for in Article 1 shall be carried out by the body or institution designated by the Commission to coordinate the scientific and technical collaboration of laboratories and institutions. The maximum amount of Community financing for the project provided for in Article 1 shall not exceed EUR 800000. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

The duty rates ranged from 7,3 % to 42,6 %.2.   Request for a review(2) In 2009, the Commission received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The request, limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was lodged by a Chinese exporting producer Heze Huayi Chemical Co., Ltd (‘Heze’ or ‘the applicant’). The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant is 14,1 %.(3) In its request, the applicant claimed that the circumstances on the basis of which measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. The applicant provided prima facie evidence that the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to offset dumping.(4) In particular, the request was based on the claim that the TCCA unit cost of the applicant have significantly decreased since the original investigation as:— the applicant produces the main raw material needed to produce the product under investigation; and,— the applicant has increased its production capacity,3.   Initiation of a review(5) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a review, the Commission, on 2 July 2009, initiated an investigation (3) pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping in respect of the applicant.4.   Product concerned and like product(6) The product concerned by the current review is the same as that described in the original Regulation, trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof, also referred to as ‘symclosene’ under the international non-proprietary name (INN), originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the product concerned’), currently falling within CN codes ex 2933 69 80 and ex 3808 94 20.(7) The product produced and sold on the Chinese domestic market and that exported to the Union have the same basic physical, technical and chemical characteristics and uses and are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.5.   Parties concerned(8) The Commission officially advised the applicant, the Union industry, as well as the representatives of the government of the exporting country, of the initiation of the review.(9) Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the Notice of Initiation.(10) In order to obtain the information deemed necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a market economy treatment (MET) claim form and a questionnaire to the applicant and received replies within the deadlines set for that purpose. The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping, and a verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant.6.   Investigation period(11) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009 (‘IP’).B.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1.   Market economy treatment (‘MET’)(12) Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of Article 2 of the basic Regulation for those exporting producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, i.e. where it is shown that market economy conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product. These criteria are set out in summarised form below:— business decisions are made in response to market signals, without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values,— firms have one clear set of accounting records which are independently audited in line with international accounting standards (IAS) and applied for all purposes,— there are no significant distortions carried over from a former non-market economy system,— bankruptcy and property laws guarantee stability and legal certainty,— currency exchanges are carried out at market rate.(13) The investigation found that the applicant met all five MET criteria. It was found that during the IP, Heze made its business decisions without any State interference or distortions related to non-market economy conditions. Heze is subject to Chinese bankruptcy and property laws without any derogation. The company has one set of independently audited accounting records and accounting system and its practice was found to be in line with internationally accepted general accounting principles and IAS. Costs and prices were found to reflect market values and exchange rate conversions were carried out at market rates.(14) Based on the above facts and considerations, the applicant could be granted MET.2.   Normal value(15) For the determination of normal value it was first established whether Heze’s total volume of domestic sales of the like product was representative in comparison with its total volume of export sales to the Union. In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, domestic sales are considered representative when the total domestic sales volume is at least 5 % of the total volume of corresponding export sales to the Union. The Commission established that TCCA was sold domestically by the applicant in overall representative volumes.(16) Subsequently, those types of the like product sold on the domestic market by the applicant that were identical and directly comparable to the types sold for export to the Union, were identified.(17) For each type sold by Heze on the domestic market and found to be directly comparable with the type sold for export to the Union, it was established whether domestic sales were sold in representative volume for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation. Domestic sales of a particular type were considered sufficiently representative when the total domestic sales volume of that type during the IP represented 5 % or more of the total sales volume of the comparable type exported to the Union.(18) It was also examined whether the domestic sales of each type could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. This was done by establishing the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers on the domestic market of each exported type of the product concerned during the IP.(19) Where the sales volume of a product type, sold at a net sales price equal to or above the calculated cost of production, represented more than 80 % of the total sales volume of that type, and where the weighted average price of that type was equal to or above the unit cost of production, normal value was based on the actual domestic price. This price was calculated as a weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales of that type made during the IP, irrespective of whether these sales were profitable or not.(20) Where the volume of profitable sales of a product type represented 80 % or less of the total sales volume of that type, or where the weighted average price of that type was below the unit cost of production, normal value was based on the actual domestic price, which was calculated as the weighted average price of only the profitable domestic sales of the type in question made during the IP.(21) Wherever domestic prices of a particular product type sold by Heze could not be used in order to establish the normal value, another method had to be applied. In this regard, the Commission used constructed normal value. In accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation, normal value was constructed by adding to the manufacturing costs of the exported types a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses (‘SG&A’) and a reasonable margin of profit. Pursuant to Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation, the amounts for SG&A and profit margin were based on the average SG&A and profit margin of Heze sales in the ordinary course of trade of the like product.(22) In line with the methodology used in the original investigation, the cost of manufacturing was calculated for two types of products. Taking into account the information provided by the applicant, one cost of manufacturing was calculated for granules and tablets and a second one for powder.3.   Export price(23) As the product concerned was exported directly to independent customers in the Union, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, i.e. on the basis of export prices actually paid or payable for the product when sold for export to the Union.4.   Comparison(24) The average normal value and the average export price for each type of the product concerned were compared on an ex-works basis and at the same level of trade. In order to ensure a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. For this purpose, adjustments for transport costs, ocean freight and insurance costs, handling, credit costs, and bank charges were made where applicable and justified. Furthermore, it was found that VAT was partially refunded when the product concerned was sold for export to the Union. Consequently, the VAT payable on domestic sales was adjusted accordingly pursuant to Article 2(10)(b) of the basic Regulation.(25) With regard to the packing cost allowance, the applicant claimed an allowance in respect of packing expenses for sales in both the Chinese and the Union markets. The verification showed that those costs were equally included in the cost of production of the product regardless of whether it was to be sold domestically or for export. Therefore, the allowance claimed was not accepted either in the domestic or in the export market.5.   Dumping Margin(26) As provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by type was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison showed the existence of dumping.(27) The dumping margin of Heze expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Union-frontier price was found to be 3,2 %.C.   LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES(28) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances which were found to exist could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature.(29) The applicant provided full cooperation in this interim review and the data collected and verified allowed for the establishment of a dumping margin based on its individual export prices to the Union. The result of this calculation indicates that the continued application of the measure at its current level is no longer justified.(30) Evidence obtained and verified during the investigation showed a reduction in the level of dumping explained by the reduction of the company cost structure. The main factors to trigger the reduction in the applicant’s cost structure are the in-house production of the main raw material and the expansion in the applicant’s production capacity.(31) It was also found that since the original investigation, Heze’s export prices to all markets increased. In particular, export prices to the Union are in line with the company’s export prices to other third countries. Evidence collected on spot showed that the company has many Union customers with similar price levels. The consistent market behaviour of the applicant shows that the changes in circumstances are of a lasting nature.(32) In the light of the above, it is therefore considered that the circumstances that led to the initiation of this review are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future in a manner that would affect the findings of the current review. Therefore it is concluded that the changes are considered to be of a lasting nature and that the application of the measure at its current level is no longer justified.D.   ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES(33) In the light of the results of this review investigation, it is considered appropriate to amend the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of the product concerned from Heze to 3,2 %,. The entry concerning Heze Huayi Chemical Co. Limited, in the table in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1631/2005, shall be replaced by the following:‘PRC Heze Huayi Chemical Co.

7099,"89/471/EEC: Commission Decision of 14 July 1989 authorizing methods for grading pig carcases in Germany (Only the German text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (4), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases 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 carcase; whereas the authorization of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; whereas this tolerance has been defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (5);Whereas the Commission, by its Decision 87/43/EEC (6), has authorized methods for grading pig carcases in Germany;Whereas their application has shown that the results of the three authorized methods are difficult to compare;Whereas with a view to improving the transparency of the market, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to authorize the use of one main method on its territory consisting in the fixing of measuring points and of a single estimation formula for the lean meat content and has submitted for this purpose the information required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85; whereas an examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorizing the said grading methods are fulfilled;Whereas, however, the method to be thus authorized concerning the taking of measurements is based on the use of the apparatus 'Ultrasound-Scanner' ('SSD 256') the use of which in the abattoirs in general does not seem to be possible in practice; whereas as a consequence it is appropriate, subject to supervision by the Commission, to authorize the use of other apparatus for the grading of pig carcases after they have passed a calibration test by giving equivalent results concerning the values of assessment measurements of the percentage of lean meat to those obtained by the use of the 'Ultrasound-Scanner' ('SSD 256');Whereas it is necessary, in addition, to maintain a simple method for small abattoirs which are not in a position to bear investment costs engendered by the method mentioned above; whereas for this reason it is appropriate for the moment to continue the use of the method known as 'Zwei-Punkt-Messverfahren' but to limit its use to abattoirs which do not exceed a fixed amount of slaughterings;Whereas a new decision should be adopted for the sake of clarity to include the two methods mentioned above; whereas, as a consequence, Decision 87/43/EEC should be repealed;Whereas no modification of apparatus or grading method may be authorized except by means of a new Commission decision adopted in the light of experience gained; whereas, for this reason, the present authorization may be revoked;Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. 1. As a method for grading of pig carcases the assessment method for lean meat based on the use of the apparatus 'Ultrasound-Scanner' ('SSD 256'), details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex, is hereby authorized.2. The use of all other apparatus for grading pig carcases is subject to the requirement for ensuring that the values of the measurements and assessed results are equivalent to the method mentioned in paragraph 1.To this end the apparatus must satisfy a calibration procedure carried out by the competent German authorities concerning the proof of exactitude of the values of the measurements x1 and x2 as indicated in the Annex.3. When a pig grading apparatus has satisfied the calibration procedure mentioned in paragraph 2, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany shall inform the Commission before the first use of the apparatus by supplying all necessary particulars.In this case the procedure laid down in Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be applied. The use of the method termed 'Zwei-Punkt-Messverfahren' ('ZP'), details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex, is hereby authorized.However, this method shall only be authorized for abattoirs which do not exceed a weekly slaughtering of 200 pigs as a yearly average. Any modification of the apparatus or of the assessment methods (measurement sites and formulae) shall not be authorized. Decision 87/43/EEC is hereby repealed.However, until 30 June 1990, the Federal Republic of Germany may continue to apply the scale for grading pig carcases laid down in Decision 87/431/EEC instead of the scale determined in this Decision.

The assessment method provided for in paragraph 2 is to be used as a method for the grading of pig carcases established on the basis of the values of the measurements obtained by the apparatus known as 'Ultrasound-Scanner' ('SSD 256').Every apparatus used in the abattoir must be calibrated and must give values of the measurements equivalent to those of the Ultrasound-Scanner (SSD 256).2. The lean meat content of the carcase is calculated on the basis of the following formula:1.2 // y   // = 54,456 - 0,75027 x1 + 0,21181 x2where:1.2 // y   // = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcase,   // x1   // = the thickness of backfat (including rind) in millimetres, measured at 7 cm off the midline of the split carcase, between the second and third last ribs,   // x2  // = the thickness of the muscle in millimetres, measured at the same time and in the same place as x1.The formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms.PART IIZwei-Punkt-Messverfahren (ZP)1. Grading pig carcases may be carried out by use of the method terms 'Zwei-Punkt-Messverfahren' ('ZP').2. The lean meat content of the carcase shall be calculated according to the following formula:1.2.3.4 // y   // = 47,978 + 26,0429   // S F   // + 4,5154 ยง F - 2,5018 log S - 8,4212 ยง S.where:1.2,4 // y   // = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcase,   // S   // = the minimum thickness of visible fat (including rind) on the midline of the split carcase in millimetres, covering the lumbar muscle (M. glutaeus medius),  // F   // = the visible thickness of the lumbar muscle on the midline of the split carcase in millimetres, measured at the shortest connection between the front (cranial) end of the lumbar muscle and the upper (dorsal) edge of the vertebral canal.The formula shall be valid for carcases weighing between 50 and 120 kilograms.

43935,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 298/2014 of 21 March 2014 amending Annex II 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 Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate for use as raising agent and acidity regulator  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) 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.(3) The Union list 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(4) An application for authorisation of the use of Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate as a raising agent and acidity regulator in certain food categories was submitted on 7 April 2011 and was made available to the Member States.(5) Phosphoric acid - phosphates - di - tri- and polyphosphates (E 338 -452) are authorised for use in fine bakery ware as raising agents. Diphosphates (E 450), specified in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012, may be used as an alternative to Sodium aluminium phosphate (E541) thus reducing the aluminium content of processed foods. The currently specified diphosphates have an astringent aftertaste (‘pyro-taste’) and may contribute to the total sodium content of food.(6) Specifications for Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate should be set out in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012, since the substance could be used as an alternative to the other diphosphates in order to reduce the ‘pyro-taste’ and to avoid increasing the sodium level of a food. Therefore, the use of Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphatese should be authorized in the categories 6.2.1: Flours, only self-raising flour; 6.5: Noodles; 6.6: Batters; 7.1: Bread and rolls and 7.2: Fine bakery wares. The number E 450 (ix) should be assigned to Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate.(7) Similar substances, with equal or higher magnesium content compared to Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate, the mono- and dibasic magnesium salts of orthophosphoric acid (E343i; E343ii) are already authorised for use in the same food categories. The inclusion of Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate as an alternative diphosphate in the annex of Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 and its subsequent use in foodstuffs will not result in an increase of phosphorous or magnesium intake. Therefore, the establishment of the specification and the specific authorisation of the use of Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate (E 450 (ix)) as a raising agent and acidity regulator is not considered of safety concern.(8) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where the update in question is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the inclusion of Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate in the annex of EC regulation 231/2012 and the authorisation of the use of Magnesium dihydrogen diphosphate (E 450 (ix)) as a raising agent is not considered of safety concern it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.(9) Regulations (EC) No 1333/2008 and (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,. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation. The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

10955,"93/259/ECSC: Commission Decision of 24 March 1993 authorizing additional aid by Germany to the coal industry for 1992 (Only the German text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),Whereas:I  In a letter dated 10 February 1993, the German Government informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (3) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of an additional financial measure which it intends to implement retroactively for 1992 in order to support the  coal industry, concerning deliveries of coal and coke to the Community steel industry.On 30 September 1992 the Commission adopted Decision 92/506/ECSC (2) ruling on financial aid by Germany to the coal industry in 1992.As stated in that Decision, the German Government intended to grant in 1992, pursuant to Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, a total of DM 3 293 million under the system of aid to deliveries of coking coal, coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces in the  Community steel industry.In Decision 92/506/ECSC the Commission noted that the amount of aid under the system was linked to available budgetary resources; accordingly the German Government was required to communicate any changes in the amount authorized by the Commission for  1992.The German Government has informed the Commission that the amount of aid laid down in Decision 92/506/ECSC for the supply of coal and coke to the steel industry is insufficient. The increase necessary for 1992 over the amount authorized by the  Commission is DM 330,579 million, which brings the total aid for the supply of coal and coke in 1992 to DM 3 623,579 million.The reason for the increase in aid is that the gap between the world market price for coking coal and German production costs has proved wider than originally foreseen, on account of the drop in prices on the world market and the development of the US  dollar-German Mark exchange rate.The figure of DM 3 623,579 million for this aid is compatible with Article 4 of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, since it serves to bridge the gap observed in 1992 between the world market price and the production costs for a volume of 20,7 million tonnes, in  accordance with the conditions set out in Article 12 of that Decision.The contribution of the planned measure to the restructuring and rationalization of the coal industry and to solving social and regional problems in phasing the closure of loss-making installations satisfies the criteria and objectives of Article 2,  first and third indents, of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.Consequently, the aid referred to in this Decision is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.This Decision does not produce any legal effects beyond the date of expiry of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.II  The Commission will have to ensure, pursuant to Article 11 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, that the direct aid authorized for current production is intended solely for the purposes set out in Articles 3 to 6 of that Decision. To this end it must be  informed of the amounts of payments and how they are allocated,. Germany is hereby authorized to grant, for 1992, additional aid amounting to DM 330 579 000 for the supply of coking coal, coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces in the Community steel industry, which brings the total aid for this  purpose in 1992 to DM 3 623 579 000. Germany shall notify the Commission by 30 June 1993 of the amount of aid actually paid in 1992. This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany..

With a view to eradicate bluetongue as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. Article 3(6) first indent of that Decision identifies the percentage of Union financial contributions can be paid to compensate the costs incurred by the Member States.(3) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2) sets rules on the expenditure eligible for Union financial support.(4) Commission Decision 2008/444/EC of 5 June 2008 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures to combat bluetongue in Germany in 2007 (3) provided for a financial contribution by the Union towards emergency measures to combat bluetongue in Germany in 2007.(5) Germany submitted an official request for reimbursement on 6 June 2008 as set out in Article 7(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(6) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 makes the payment of that financial contribution from the Union subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines.(7) Decision 2008/444/EC provided that a first tranche of EUR 950 000,00 should be paid as part of the Union’s financial contribution.(8) An audit according to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 carried out by the Commission’s services did reveal only minor financial issues.(9) Germany has thus to this point complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Article 3(4) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(10) In view of the above considerations, a second tranche of the financial support from the Union to the eligible expenditure incurred in association with the eradication of bluetongue in Germany in 2007 should now be fixed.(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,.

It is therefore necessary to align the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 (4) with Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 as amended.(2) Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 437/2010 (5) provides for eligibility of housing interventions in favour of marginalised communities. It is therefore necessary to align the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 with Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 as amended.(3) It is necessary to clarify that the implementation of financial engineering also covers funds or other incentive schemes for energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in buildings, including existing housing.(4) It is necessary to define the conditions for eligible housing interventions in favour of marginalised communities in the context of an integrated approach, with particular regard to the desegregation measures.(5) In order to facilitate the provision of data by Member States and the processing of data by the Commission, it is necessary to simplify the requirements on financial information to be provided in the annual and final reports on the implementation of an operational programme.(6) The threshold for projects to be considered major projects has been raised to EUR 50 million. In order to ensure appropriate monitoring of environmental projects with total investment costs between EUR 25 and 50 million, it is necessary to provide for an obligation to include information on those projects in the annual and final reports on implementation of an operational programme.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 now allows a major project to cover more than one operational programme. It is therefore necessary to update the type of structured data to be provided on major projects and to update the forms for requests for assistance for major projects.(8) Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) For reasons of coherence it is appropriate that the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 apply from the same date as Regulation (EU) No 539/2010 and Regulation (EU) No 437/2010.(10) It is necessary that all the advantages to beneficiaries which result from Regulation (EU) No 539/2010 and Regulation (EU) No 437/2010 apply as soon as possible.

42455,"Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 305/2013 of 26 November 2012 supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2010 on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,Whereas:(1) Directive 2010/40/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards specifications necessary to ensure the compatibility, interoperability and continuity for the deployment and operational use of intelligent transport systems (ITS).(2) According to Article 3(d) of Directive 2010/40/EU, the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall service shall constitute a priority action. The Commission should, therefore, adopt the necessary specifications in this field.(3) Article 26 of Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (Universal Service Directive) (2) requires that calls to the single European emergency call number 112 are answered appropriately and handled in a manner that is best suited to the national organisation of emergency systems, including the emergency call response centres (public safety answering points).(4) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions ‘eCall: Time for deployment’ (3), envisages new regulatory measures to speed up the deployment of an in-vehicle emergency call service in the Union. One of the proposed measures is to make the necessary upgrading of the public safety answering point (PSAP) infrastructure required for proper receipt and handling of eCalls mandatory.(5) Commission Recommendation 2011/750/EU (4) on support for an EU-wide eCall service in electronic communication networks for the transmission of in-vehicle emergency calls based on 112 (‘eCalls’) advises Member States to indicate the eCall PSAP to route eCalls and to ensure that mobile network operators handle eCalls properly.(6) It is expected that, by reducing the response time of the emergency services, the interoperable EU-wide eCall will reduce the number of fatalities in the Union as well as the severity of injuries caused by road accidents.(7) The interoperable EU-wide eCall is also expected to bring savings to society by improving incident management and by reducing road congestion and secondary accidents.(8) The processing of personal data in the context of the handling of eCalls by the PSAPs, the emergency services and service partners is performed in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (5) and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) (6). Member States shall ensure that this compliance is demonstrated, with national data protection authorities, either during a priori control procedures, such as prior notifications or a posteriori checks, such as in the course of complaints and investigations.(9) The interoperable EU-wide eCall service follows the recommendations made by the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party and contained in the ‘Working document on data protection and privacy implications in eCall initiative’, adopted on 26 September 2006 (1609/06/EN — WP 125). Vehicles equipped with eCall in-vehicle equipment shall not be traceable in their normal operational status. The minimum set of data sent by the eCall in-vehicle equipment (i.e. when triggered) shall include the minimum information required for the appropriate handling of emergency calls.(10) Without prejudice to Directive 95/46/EC, Member States shall take into account, when deploying the eCall PSAPs infrastructure, the ‘Working document on data protection and privacy implications in eCall initiative’ adopted by the Article 29 Working Party on 26 September 2006 (1609/06/EN — WP 125).(11) It is important that all Member States should develop common technical solutions and practices for the provision of emergency call services. The development of common technical solutions should be pursued in particular through the European standardisation organisations, in order to facilitate the introduction of the eCall service, ensure the interoperability and continuity of the service throughout the Union, and reduce the costs of implementation for the Union as a whole.(12) The European Standardisation Organisations, ETSI and CEN, have developed common standards for the deployment of a pan-European eCall service, which the present Regulation makes the reference to.(13) Infrastructures already deployed should be granted sufficient time to upgrade, therefore the Regulation should apply to them 12 months after entry into force,. Subject matter and scopeThis Regulation establishes the specifications for the upgrading of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) infrastructure required for the proper receipt and handling of eCalls, in order to ensure the compatibility, interoperability and continuity of the harmonised EU-wide eCall service. DefinitionsThe following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this Regulation:(a) ‘emergency service’ means a service, recognised as such by the Member State, that provides immediate and rapid assistance in situations where there is, in particular, a direct risk to life or limb, to individual or public health or safety, to private or public property, or to the environment, in accordance with national legislation;(b) ‘public safety answering point’ (PSAP) means a physical location where emergency calls are first received under the responsibility of a public authority or a private organisation recognised by the Member State;(c) ‘most appropriate PSAP’ means a PSAP defined beforehand by responsible authorities to cover emergency calls from a certain area or for emergency calls of a certain type;(d) ‘eCall PSAP’ means a most appropriate PSAP defined beforehand by the authorities to first receive and handle the eCalls;(e) ‘eCall PSAP operator’ means a person in the eCall PSAP receiving and/or handling the emergency calls;(f) ‘service partner’ means a public or private organisation recognised by national authorities, that has a role in the handling of incidents related to an eCall (e.g. road operator, assistance service);(g) ‘in-vehicle equipment’ means equipment within the vehicle that provides or has access to the in-vehicle data required to perform the eCall transaction via a public mobile wireless communications network;(h) ‘eCall’ (referred to in Directive 2010/40/EU as ‘interoperable EU-wide eCall’) means an in-vehicle emergency call to 112, made either automatically by means of the activation of in-vehicle sensors or manually, which carries a standardised minimum set of data and establishes an audio channel between the vehicle and the eCall PSAP via public mobile wireless communications networks;(i) ‘eCall transaction’ means the establishment of a mobile wireless communications session across a public wireless communications network and the transmission of a minimum set of data from a vehicle to an eCall PSAP and the establishment of an audio channel between the vehicle and the same eCall PSAP;(j) ‘minimum set of data’ (MSD) means the information defined by the standard ‘Road transport and traffic telematics — eSafety — eCall minimum set of data (MSD)’ (EN 15722) which is sent to the eCall PSAP;(k) ‘Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)’ means the alphanumeric code assigned to a vehicle by the manufacturer in order to ensure proper identification of every vehicle, as described in ISO standard 3779;(l) ‘mobile wireless communications network’ means wireless communications network with homogeneous handover between network access points;(m) ‘public mobile wireless communications network’ means mobile wireless communications network available to the public in accordance with Directive 2002/22/EC and with Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7);(n) ‘emergency control centre’ means a facility used by one or more emergency services to handle emergency calls;(o) ‘raw MSD’ means a representation of the transmitted minimum set of data before being presented in an intelligible way to the eCall PSAP operator. eCall PSAP requirements1.   Member States shall ensure that any eCall PSAP is equipped to handle eCalls and receive the MSD originating from the in-vehicle equipment according to the standards ‘Intelligent transport system — eSafety — PanEuropean eCall-Operating requirements’ (EN 16072) and ‘Intelligent transport systems — eSafety — eCall High Level Application Requirements (HLAP)’ (EN 16062).2.   The eCall PSAP shall handle eCalls as expeditiously and effectively as any other call made to the single European emergency number 112. The eCall PSAP shall process eCalls in line with the requirements of national regulations for emergency call processing.3.   The eCall PSAP shall be able to receive the data contents of the MSD and present them to the eCall PSAP operator clearly and understandably.4.   The eCall PSAP shall have access to an appropriate Geographical Information System (GIS) or an equivalent system allowing the eCall PSAP operator to identify the position and heading of the vehicle to a minimum degree of accuracy as defined in EN 15722 for the MSD coordinates.5.   The abovementioned requirements shall enable the eCall PSAP to provide location, type of eCall activation (manual or automatic) and other relevant data to the appropriate emergency service(s) or service partner(s).6.   The eCall PSAP (initially receiving the eCall) shall establish audio communication with the vehicle and handle the eCall data; if necessary, the eCall PSAP may reroute the call and MSD data to another PSAP, emergency control centre or service partner according to national procedures determined by the national authority. Rerouting may be done via data or audio connection, or, preferably, both.7.   When appropriate, and depending on national procedures and legislation, the eCall PSAP and appropriate emergency service(s) or service partner(s) may be granted access to the characteristics of the vehicle contained in national databases and/or other relevant resources, in order to obtain information that is necessary for dealing with an eCall, notably to allow the interpretation of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the presentation of additional relevant information, particularly vehicle type and model. Conformity assessmentMember States shall designate the authorities that are competent for assessing the conformity of the operations of the eCall PSAPs with the requirements listed in Article 3 and shall notify them to the Commission. Conformity assessment shall be based on the part of the standard ‘Intelligent transport systems — eSafety — eCall end to end conformance testing’ (EN 16454) that relates to PSAPs conformance to pan-European eCall. Obligations linked to the deployment of the eCall PSAPs infrastructureMember States shall ensure that this Regulation is applied when the eCall PSAPs infrastructure for the handling of the interoperable EU-wide eCall is deployed, in accordance with the principles for specifications and deployment laid down in Annex II to Directive 2010/40/EU. This is without prejudice to the right of each Member State to decide on the deployment of the eCall PSAPs infrastructure for the handling of the interoperable EU-wide eCall on its territory. This right is without prejudice to any legislative act adopted under the second subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Directive 2010/40/EU. Rules on privacy and data protection1.   The PSAPs, including eCall PSAPs, shall be regarded as data controllers within the meaning of Article 2(d) of Directive 95/46/EC. Where the eCall data is to be sent to other emergency control centres or service partners pursuant to Article 3(5), the latter shall also be considered as data controllers. Member States shall ensure that the processing of personal data in the context of the handling of the eCalls by the PSAPs, the emergency services and service partners is carried out in accordance with Directives 95/46/EC and 2002/58/EC, and that this compliance is demonstrated to the national data protection authorities.2.   In particular, Member States shall ensure that personal data are protected against misuse, including unlawful access, alteration or loss, and that protocols concerning personal data storage, retention duration, processing and protection are established at the appropriate level and properly observed. Rules on liability1.   The eCall PSAPs must be able to demonstrate to the competent authorities that they meet all specified conformance requirements of the eCall standards listed in Article 3(1) in respect of the part(s) of the system under their design and/or control. They shall be liable only for that part of the eCalls for which they are responsible, which starts at the time the eCalls reach the eCall PSAP, in accordance with national procedures.2.   To that end, and in addition to other existing measures related to the handling of 112 calls in particular, both the raw MSD received with the eCall and the MSD contents presented to the eCall operator shall be retained for a determined period of time, in accordance with national regulations. Such data shall be stored in accordance with Articles 6, 13 and 17 of Directive 95/46/EC.

23331,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 263/2002 of 13 February 2002 amending Regulation (EC) No 2550/2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat as regards premium schemes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(2), and in particular Article 4(6), Article 5(4) and Article 11(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2550/2001(3) lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat as regards premium schemes, but does not define how the conversion of the premiums and payments into the national currency in the Member States not having adopted the euro should be carried out. For that reason there is a need to define the method of conversion into national currencies and in particular the operative event and the exchange rate applicable.(2) As to the operative event, for applying the criteria set forth in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, it is appropriate to define it as the first day of the calendar year for which the premia are paid. As to the exchange rate to apply, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2452/2000(5), lays down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture. Article 1 of this Regulation states that the exchange rate to be used shall be the rate most recently fixed by the European Central Bank (ECB) prior to the operative event.(3) However, for the purposes of attaining the goals of the sheep and goat common market organisation, the rate applicable on the date of the operative event should be fixed in such a way as to ensure in principle that such aids, premiums and amounts do not undergo any sharp fluctuations on conversion into national currency due to the exchange rate on a single date. To this end, the best solution appears to be an average of the exchange rates applicable during the month preceding the year in respect of which the premium is granted, calculated pro rata temporis.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Sheep and Goats Management Committee,. The following Article is hereby added to Regulation (EC) No 2550/2001: ""CHAPTER IIIaGENERAL PROVISIONS 8aConversion into national currencyThe operative event for the exchange rate to be applied to the amount of the premiums and payments referred to in Articles 4, 5 and 11 of Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 shall be the commencement of the calendar year in respect of which the premium or payment is granted.The exchange rate to be used shall be the average of the exchange rates applicable in the month of December preceding the date of the operative event, calculated pro rata temporis. It shall be fixed by the Commission during the month following the date of the operative event.""

33918,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 141/2007 of 14 February 2007 concerning a requirement for approval in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council for feed business establishments manufacturing or placing on the market feed additives of the category coccidiostats and histomonostats (Text with EEA relevance ). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 January 2005 laying down requirements for feed hygiene (1), and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 provides for the approval of certain feed business establishments. The principal objective of the approval system set up by Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 is to subject establishments manufacturing and/or placing on the market products deemed sensitive to the relevant hygiene requirements laid down in that Regulation. That Regulation provides for a possibility to extend the scope of the approval requirement.(2) ‘Coccidiostats and histomonostats’ are one of the categories of feed additives referred to in Article 6(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2). This category of feed additives is deemed to be equally sensitive as the categories for which an approval requirement is provided for in Regulation (EC) No 183/2005.(3) Therefore, establishments manufacturing and/or placing on the market feed additives belonging to the category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’ should equally be subject to the same approval requisites.(4) Transitional measures should be provided for as regards establishments manufacturing and/or placing on the market feed additives of the category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’ which were not required to be approved under national legislation. Establishments approved under Council Directive 95/69/EC (3) are already covered by Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 183/2005.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Feed business operators shall ensure that establishments under their control and covered by Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 are approved by the competent authority, where such establishments manufacture and/or place on the market feed additives of the category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’. The approval shall be carried out in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 183/2005. Establishments manufacturing and/or placing on the market feed additives of the category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’ and which on the date of entry into force of this Regulation were not required by national legislation to be approved for this category of feed additives, may continue their activities until a decision has been taken on their application for approval, on condition that they submit that application to the competent authority in whose area their establishment is located by 7 June 2007. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 7 April 2007.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

36678,"2009/812/EC: Commission Decision of 26 October 2009 granting a derogation requested by France pursuant to Decision 2006/771/EC on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices (notified under document C(2009) 8041). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,Having regard to Commission Decision 2006/771/EC of 9 November 2006 on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,Having regard to the request made by France on 29 June 2009,Whereas:(1) Decision 2006/771/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2009/381/EC (3), provides that Member States must designate the frequency band 2 400-2 483,5 MHz for wideband data transmission systems and radio determination applications and make it available on a non-exclusive, non-interference and non-protected basis, subject to specific conditions, by 1 November 2009.(2) Article 3(2) of Decision 2006/771/EC states that, by way of derogation, Member States may request transitional periods and/or radio spectrum-sharing arrangements, pursuant to Article 4(5) of Decision No 676/2002/EC.(3) France has informed the Commission that the 2 454-2 483,5 MHz sub-band is currently used by military systems, and that it cannot therefore meet the requirements laid down in Decision 2006/771/EC in time.(4) France has indicated that the Ministry of Defence has started implementing a plan to replace the equipment used at present. From 1 July 2012, the frequency band 2 400-2 483,5 MHz will be made available entirely for wideband data transmission systems and radio determination applications, in accordance with Decision 2006/771/EC.(5) By letter of 29 June 2009, France officially asked the Commission for a transitional period during which wideband data transmission systems and radio determination applications could be used in the 2 454-2 483,5 MHz sub-band on its territory solely subject to the following conditions. Outside buildings, these devices may only be used with a power limited to 10 mW. However, inside buildings, they may be used with the maximum power authorised by Decision 2006/771/EC, as amended by Decision 2009/381/EC, that is to say 100 mW e.i.r.p. for wideband data transmission systems and 25 mW e.i.r.p. for radio determination applications. Wideband data transmission systems and radio determination applications may be used in the 2 400-2 454 MHz sub-band subject to the conditions laid down in Decision 2006/771/EC.(6) In support of its request, France has provided sufficient information and technical justifications demonstrating that there is a risk of interference with military equipment.(7) A report on the development of the situation in France would be beneficial for the smooth progress of the transitional period.(8) The members of the Radio Spectrum Committee indicated at their meeting on 8 July 2009 that they did not object to this transitional derogation.(9) The derogation requested would not unduly delay implementation of Commission Decision 2006/771/EC, as amended by Decision 2009/381/EC, or create disproportionate differences between Member States in terms of competition or regulation. There is sufficient justification for this derogation in view of the special situation in France, and full implementation of Decision 2006/771/EC should be facilitated there,. France is hereby authorised to derogate from its obligations under Commission Decision 2006/771/EC, subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision. Until 30 June 2012, France is hereby authorised to limit the power of wideband data transmission systems and radio determination applications in the 2 454-2 483,5 MHz sub-band in metropolitan France to 10 mW e.i.r.p. where the devices in question are used outside buildings, including places assimilated thereto such as an aircraft, in which the shielding will typically provide the necessary attenuation to facilitate sharing with other services. By 31 December 2010, France shall submit a report to the Commission on the implementation of this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the French Republic..

14759,"96/72/EC: Commission Decision of 16 January 1996 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into certain regions of Germany of Portland cement originating in Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped and subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. PROCEDURE(1) In July 1993, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Bundesverband der Deutschen Zement Industrie on behalf of German producers of Portland cement representing almost the totality of Portland cement production in the following regions of Germany: Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen, Bayern and Baden-Württemberg, (hereafter referred to as the 'regional market`).The complaint contained evidence of dumping with regard to imports into the regional market of Portland cement originating in Poland and the Czech and Slovak Republics and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.(2) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding (5) concerning imports of Portland cement originating in Poland and the Czech and Slovak Republics into the regional market and commenced an investigation. Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 applies in this proceeding opened before 1 September 1994.(3) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned as well as the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant of the initiation of the proceeding and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing or to request a hearing(4) Several parties, including the Polish authorities made their views known in writing and requested a hearing; all such requests were granted.(5) The Commission sought and verified all information deemed to be necessary for the purpose of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of 11 Community producers representing 91 % of the total production in the regional market; 11 Polish producers, eight Czech producers and six Slovak producers, which represented, taken together, the totality of exports to the regional market, and three of the nine importers in the regional market which responded to the notice of initiation within the time limits laid down and replied to the Commission's questionnaires.(6) The period used for the investigation of dumping was 1 April 1993 to 31 March 1994. In view of the important number of parties involved in the proceeding, the investigation exceeded the normal period of one year.B. REGIONAL MARKET(7) The Commission established that the Community producers in the regional market sold 96 % of their total production of the product in question in that market. Furthermore, only 5 % of the total demand in the regional market was supplied by producers located elsewhere in the Community. The Commission also established that 99 % of the imports into the Community from the countries concerned were concentrated in the same market. Therefore, the complaining and cooperating producers in the regional market which represented 91 % of the total output could be considered as constituting a Community industry pursuant to Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.C. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION(8) The product concerned is Portland cement, other than white cement, whether or not artificially coloured. The product can be sold loose or in bags and is used in the building industry. It is produced in different types which range from PZ 25 to PZ 55. However the most common types are PZ 35 and PZ 45, which have been the object of the proceeding. The product falls under CN code 2523 29 00.D. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING(9) In the course of the investigation, the Bundesverband der Deutschen Zement Industrie informed the Commission, by letter of 16 October 1995, that it formally withdrew its complaint.(10) The decision of the complainant, which had received beforehand all necessary information from the Commission on the circumstances of the anti-dumping proceeding, is a sufficient ground to terminate the proceeding unless it is established that such termination would be contrary to the interest of the Community.The Commission has neither received nor is it aware of any indications in the present case that the termination of this proceeding would be against the interest of the Community.(11) In these circumstances, it is considered that protective measures are unnecessary and, that accordingly, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of Portland cement originating in Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics should be terminated with the imposition of such measures,. The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into certain regions of Germany of Portland cement originating in Poland, the Czech and Slovak Republics is hereby terminated..

However, the commitments under the Agreed Minutes, notably the commitment of ensuring an effective price surveillance mechanism, have not been effectively implemented by the Korean side and therefore a satisfactory result has still not been obtained.(2) As an exceptional and temporary measure, and in order to assist Community shipyards in those segments that have suffered adverse effects in the form of material injury and serious prejudice caused by unfair Korean competition, a temporary defensive mechanism to shipbuilding was established by Regulation (EC) No 1177/2002(2) for limited market segments and for a short and limited period only. In particular, the temporary defensive mechanism was only authorised after the Community initiated dispute settlement proceedings against the Republic of Korea and could no longer be authorised if these dispute settlement proceedings were resolved or suspended.(3) On 8 October 2002, as set out in Decision 2002/818/EC(3) the Community initiated dispute settlement proceedings against the Republic of Korea, by requesting consultations, in accordance with the World Trade Organisation's Understanding on the rules and procedures for the settlement of disputes.(4) The consultations which were held between the Republic of Korea and the Community, as envisaged in the WTO Agreement, did not reach any satisfactory solution. On 11 June 2003, the Community requested the WTO Dispute Settlement Body to set up a panel over the unfair Korean shipbuilding practices.(5) Regulation (EC) No 1177/2002 expires on 31 March 2004. The Republic of Korea has still not effectively implemented its commitments under the agreed minutes and the WTO disputes settlement proceedings are not expected to have been resolved by that date. It is therefore needed to prolong the temporary defensive mechanism,.

21570,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1240/2001 of 25 June 2001 initiating a ""new exporter"" review of Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in India, repealing the duty with regard to imports from one exporting producer and making these 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""), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2338/2000(2), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW(1) The Commission has received an application for a ""new exporter"" review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by Futura Polymers Ltd (""the applicant""), an exporting producer in India (""the country concerned"").B. PRODUCT(2) The product under investigation is polyethylene terephthalate (""PET"") with a coefficient of viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to DIN (Deutsche Industrienorm) 53728, as described in Article 1 of the Council Regulation imposing the existing measures, originating in India (""the product concerned""). It is currently classifiable within CN codes 3907 60 20 and ex 3907 60 80 (TARIC code 3907 60 80 10.) These CN codes are given for information only.C. EXISTING MEASURES(3) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000(3) (""the Regulation"") under which imports into the Community of the product concerned are subject to a definitive duty in the form of a specific amount per tonne of EUR 181,7/t, with the exception of imports from several companies specifically mentioned, which are subject to individual duties. The imports of the product concerned produced by the applicant are subject to a definitive individual duty of EUR 223,0/t.D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW(4) The applicant had co-operated in an anti-subsidy proceeding run in parallel with the investigation that led to the existing measures, but not in the anti-dumping proceeding leading to the existing measures, since it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the existing measures were based, i.e. 1 October 1998 to 30 September 1999 (""the original investigation period""). Therefore no individual margin could be established at that time and he was attributed the residual duty. The Regulation stated explicitly that the applicant was entitled to request a new exporter review, when they had exported to the Community or when they could demonstrate that they had entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities to the Community.(5) The applicant alleges that, while it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the original investigation period, it has begun to do so thereafter, and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product concerned which are subject to the above-mentioned anti-dumping measures.E. PROCEDURE(6) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation with a view to determining the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of duty to which its imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.(7) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.(a) QuestionnairesIn order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings.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.F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS(8) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in India, which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicants' possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.G. TIME LIMIT(9) 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 the reply to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 7(a) of this Regulation or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.H. NON-COOPERATION(10) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide, necessary information within the relevant time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(11) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of the facts available,. A review of Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation in order to determine if and to what extent imports of polyethylene terephthalate with a coefficient of viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to DIN (Deutsche Industrienorm) 53728, falling within 3907 60 20 and ex 3907 60 80 (TARIC code 3907 60 80 10 ) originating in India, produced and sold for export to the Community by Futura Polymers Ltd, should be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000. The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 is hereby repealed with regard to imports of the product identified in Article 1 of this Regulation (TARIC additional code: A184). The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.

1485,"93/500/EEC: Council Decision of 13 September 1993 concerning the promotion of renewable energy sources in the Community (Altener programme). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 130s and 235 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas, at their meeting on 29 October 1990, the Council (Environment and Energy Ministers) agreed that the Community and Member States, assuming that other leading countries would enter into similar commitments, and acknowledging the targets  identified by a number of Member States for stabilizing or reducing emissions by different dates, were willing to take action aimed at reaching stabilization of the total CO2 emissions by 2000 at the 1990 level in the Community as a whole and that  Member States which start from relatively low levels of energy consumption and therefore low emissions measured on a per capita or other appropriate basis are entitled to have CO2 targets and/or strategies corresponding to their economic and social  development, while continuing to improve the energy efficiency of their economic activities;Whereas, in its communication to the Council concerning a Community strategy to limit carbon dioxide emissions and to improve energy efficiency, the Commission indicated the action the Community should take to limit CO2 emissions;Whereas, at its meeting on 13 December 1991, the Council invited the Commission to put forward formal proposals for the adoption of measures as part of a Community strategy;Whereas a significant increase in the use of renewable energy sources will contribute towards achieving the objective of stabilizing CO2 emissions;Whereas, pursuant to Article 130r of the Treaty, action by the Community relating to the environment should improve the quality of the environment and ensure a prudent and rational utilization of natural resources, objectives which are furthered by the  use of renewable energy sources;Whereas the development of renewable energy sources can make a significant contribution to the reduction of polluting emissions arising from the consumption of fossil fuels;Whereas the development of renewable energy sources will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and the danger of global warming; whereas wide-ranging international cooperation is therefore desirable in order to obtain significant results;Whereas, since the Treaty does not provide for other powers to cover the energy aspects of the programme referred to in Article 2, Article 235 should also be invoked;Whereas the Council resolution of 16 September 1986 concerning new Community energy policy objectives for 1995 and convergence of the policies of the Member States (4) states that the contribution of new and renewable energy sources to the replacement  of traditional fuels should increase substantially, so that those energy sources can play a significant part in the overall energy balance sheet;Whereas some renewable energy sources today occupy only a few market slots; whereas, if they are not yet competitive, this is to be explained in part by the fact that the present pricing system does not always take into account fully the ecological cost  of the principal traditional sources of energy; whereas, in order to strengthen the future contribution of renewable energy sources to energy supplies, the Member States will have to avoid such distortions;Whereas, by its recommendation of 9 June 1988 on developing the exploitation of renewable energy sources in the Community (5), the Council confirmed in detail its desire to pursue a policy of developing renewable energy sources;Whereas, when reviewing the progress made towards achieving the energy objectives for 1995 provided for in its resolution of 16 September 1986, the Council stated in its conclusions of 8 November 1988 that it attributed particular importance to  renewable energy sources for future energy supplies;Whereas the development of renewable energy sources and in particular the exploitation of biomass offer secondary economic advantages in terms of employment and keeping local populations in situ;Whereas the promotion and wider use of renewable energy sources throughout the Community are likely to strengthen its economic and social cohesion, as called for by Article 130a of the Treaty;Whereas, to this end, it is appropriate to take account of the Community's indicative objectives and make provision for resources to further the attainment of those objectives, taking into consideration the particular conditions in each Member State;Whereas provision should be made for a five-year programme;Whereas ECU 40 million is the amount estimated as necessary in order to implement the multiannual programme; whereas this amount is intended to fund the programme for the period 1993 to 1997 provided it is consistent with the Community's medium-term  financial perspective in force as from 1 January 1993,. Member States shall endeavour to contribute in their energy policies to the limitation of carbon dioxide emissions by taking account of the Community's indicative objectives relating to the renewable energy sources which are set out in Annex  I. 1. The Community shall support a series of actions to promote renewable energy sources within the context of the Altener programme (specific actions for greater penetration of renewable energy sources), hereinafter referred to as 'the  programme'.2.

34703,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1242/2007 of 24 October 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (1), and in particular Article 25 thereof,Whereas:(1) In the light of the experience gained from the application of Commission Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 (2) it appears that some provisions of that Regulation need to be adapted.(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3) provides for the issuing and use of certificates using computerised systems; references to this possibility should be integrated in Regulation (EC) No 793/2006.(3) The first indent of Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 includes only the specific supply arrangements which are to be paid at any time of the year. Additional measures should be added in order to ensure the proper functioning and the efficiency of the programme. It should therefore be made possible to make payments at any time of the year for import and supply of live animals as well as for the measures referred to in Article 50 of that Regulation.(4) The procedures for amendments to programmes provided for in Article 49 of Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 need to be more precise. It is appropriate to specify the rules for the submission of the requests for amendments to the overall programmes and for their approval by the Commission, as well as the timing for their application. Due to budgetary rules, the approved amendments should be implemented as from 1 January of the year following the request for amendment. Moreover, there should be a distinction between major amendments requiring approval by a Commission Decision and minor amendments that should only be notified to the Commission for information.(5) The current wording of Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 needs to be clarified in a more precise way with reference to the relating Article of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006.(6) In order to ensure a smooth transition from the previous arrangements applying until 2006 as regards the possibility to make use of electronic certificates for the purposes of aid under the Specific Supply Arrangements and as regards the possibility to make payments throughout the year for the import and supply of live animals as well as for the measures referred to in Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 793/2006, the amendments to Articles 5(2), 7(2) and 29 should be applicable as from the date on which the Commission has notified its approval of the relevant Member State's overall programme in accordance with Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006.(7) Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,. Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 is amended as follows:1. In Article 5(2), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:2. In Article 7(2), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:3. In Article 29, the first indent is replaced by the following:‘— in the case of the specific supply arrangements, of the measures of import and supply of live animals and of the measures referred to in Article 50, throughout the year,’;4. Article 49 is replaced by the following:(a) the reasons and any implementation problem justifying amendment of the overall programme;(b) the expected effects of the amendment;(c) the implications for financing and verification of commitments.(a) the introduction of new measures or aid schemes into the overall programme; and(b) the increase of the unit level of support already approved for each existing measure or aid scheme by more than 50 % of the amount applicable at the time when the request for amendment is presented.(a) in the case of forecast supply balances, changes in the individual level of aid up to 20 % or changes in the quantities of the products concerned covered by the supply arrangements and, consequently, the global amount of aid allocated to support each line of products; and(b) in the case of Community support programmes for local production, adjustments up to 20 % of the financial allocation for each individual measure or adjustments up to 20 % of the unit amount of aid above or below the amounts applicable at the time when the request for amendment is presented;(c) amendments following amendments to codes and descriptions laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (4) used to identify the products benefiting from aid, as long as those amendments do not entail a change of the products themselves.5. Article 50 is replaced by the following: This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.However, Articles 1(1), 1(2) and 1(3) shall apply for each Member State concerned as from the date on which the Commission has notified its approval of the relevant Member State's overall programme in accordance with Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

This change should also open up the way for new commercial applications and facilitate the development of more efficient and environmentally-sound manufacturing methods. At the same time it should be made clear that the approval of processing undertakings remains subject to the condition that they are capable of producing dried fodder in accordance with the terms of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003.(3) For the same reason, the obligations concerning the manufacture of fodder laid down in Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 382/2005 (3) are also no longer necessary; this should lead to a reduction in administrative and control costs.(4) To make on-the-spot checks on processing undertakings more efficient, it should be made clear that certain information must be made available to the competent authorities and that the control reports must make it possible to review the documents examined.(5) An additional parameter should be added in order to round out the information relating to the record of energy used in the production of dehydrated fodder.(6) Regulation (EC) No 382/2005 should be amended accordingly.(7) Given that the 2007/08 marketing year is already in progress, and in order to prevent operators in the sector from being treated differently depending on the time at which they submit their applications, this Regulation should not apply until the 2008/09 marketing year.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,. Regulation (EC) No 382/2005 is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:1. “dried fodder” means the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003;2. “similar fodder products” means all artificially heat-dried herbage fodder products falling within CN code 1214 90 90 and in particular:— herbage legumes,— herbage grasses,— whole plants, harvested green with unripe grain, of the cereals listed in point I of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003;3. “processing undertaking” means the dried fodder processing undertaking referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003, duly approved by the Member State in which it is located;4. “purchaser of fodder for drying and/or grinding” means the natural or legal persons referred to in Article 10(c)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003, duly approved by the Member State where they are established, who purchase fresh fodder from producers in order to deliver it to processing undertakings;5. “lot” means a specific quantity of fodder of uniform quality as regards composition, moisture content and protein content, leaving a processing undertaking at the same time;6. “mixture” means an animal feed product containing dried fodder which has been dried and/or ground by the processing undertaking, and additives.7. “agricultural parcels” means the parcels identified in accordance with the identification system for agricultural parcels in the integrated administration and control system referred to in Articles 18 and 20 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and in Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 (4);8. “single aid application” means the aid application referred to in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Articles 12 and 14 of Regulation (EC) No 796/2004;9. “final consignee of a lot of dried fodder” means the last person to have received that lot in the form in which it left the processing undertaking, with a view to processing the dried fodder or using it in animal feed.2. Article 3 is replaced by the following:3. In Article 5, point (a)(ii) is replaced by the following:‘(ii) a description of the technical installations, and in particular the artificial heat-drying installations and grinding units, with details of hourly evaporation capacity and operating temperature, and weighing equipment, producing a final product which complies with the moisture content and minimum protein content referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003;’4.

34564,"Commission Regulation (EC) Νo 1053/2007 of 13 September 2007 fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.(3) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

10485,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 2072/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the target price for milk and the intervention prices for butter, skimmed-milk powder and Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses for two annual periods from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1995. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article  234 (3) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1).Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2).Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas the policy adopted by the Community since accession as regards prices and, in particular, the introduction of the system of agricultural stabilizers and the new guidelines for the common agricultural policy cannot bring about, in the manner  provided for in Article 285 of the Act of Accession, the process of alignment of the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal on the common price; whereas the common price was fixed for the 1992/93 marketing year at ECU 172,43/100 kg and the Portuguese  prices for the same period at ECU 207/100 kg; whereas in order that the existing gap between these prices should not be widened but, on the contrary, closed, the relevant arrangements in the Act of Accession should be adapted; whereas the principle  should be adopted of aligning the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal on the common price in stages;Whereas, given the pressing need to improve the balance between supply and demand, the Council decided as from April 1993 to extend the additional levy scheme instituted in the milk and milk-products sector and reduce the guaranteed total quantities  fixed under that scheme, without prejudice to a review in the light of the market situation; whereas, given the foreseeable reduction in milk production costs following the fall in the prices of cereals and concentrates, the target price for milk should  be reduced in order to improve the competitive position of milk products; whereas, therefore, the target price for milk must be reduced in relation to other agricultural products;Whereas it is, moreover, necessary to take into consideration the long-term balance between supply and demand on the milk market, account being taken of external trade, and accordingly to fix the target price for milk in a multiannual framework, without  prejudice to subsequent adjustments necessitated by the market trend;Whereas the intervention prices for butter and for skimmed-milk powder are intended to contribute to the achievement of the target price for milk; whereas it is necessary to determine their levels in the light of the overall supply and demand situation  on the Community milk market and the opportunities for disposal of butter and skimmed-milk powder on the Community and world markets; whereas the competitive position of butter necessitates a reduction only in the intervention price for butter, whilst  the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder remains unchanged;Whereas it is appropriate that the gap between the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal and the common prices be closed in three stages corresponding to each of the annual periods covered by the multiannual framework in which the target price for  milk is fixed; whereas it has been observed that the level of the market prices obtaining in Portugal for skimmed-milk powder is such that alignment effected in this way is not likely to have a negative effect on the said product;Whereas the intervention prices for Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in  milk and milk products (4),. The gap between the prices of skimmed-milk powder in Portugal and the common price shall be eliminated by an alignment in three stages between the Portuguese prices and the common prices.The first alignment shall take place on 1 July 1993.The common price shall be applied in Portugal on 1 July 1995.

22699,"2002/265/EC: Council Decision of 25 March 2002 authorising Italy to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to fuels containing biodiesel in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils(1), and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) As part of a pilot project covering the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 2001, Italy conducted a trial on the conditions for the use of biodiesel. Exemption from excise duty was granted for a maximum of 125000 tonnes of biodiesel per year. By letter of 23 April 2001, the Italian authorities applied to the Commission for a derogation allowing them to apply an exemption from excise duty on biodiesel and other biofuels in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, for a period of three years from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2004. In order to obtain the information it required to evaluate the request, the Commission sent additional questions by letters dated 16 May and 8 August 2001, to which the Italian authorities replied on 17 July and 28 September 2001 respectively. A meeting was held between Commission representatives and the Italian authorities on 15 October 2001. A letter from the Italian authorities on 22 October 2001 enabled the Commission to finalise its evaluation of the application for a derogation. Pending approval by the Council of the requested exemption, Italy has suspended the tax reduction scheme.(2) Italy has applied for a differentiated rate of excise duty to be authorised on biodiesel used as an additive to diesel in quantities of less than 5 % and as a motor fuel mixed with diesel in a proportion of approximately 25 %, mainly for the use of urban service vehicle fleets. In the latter case, in view of the high percentage contained in the mixture, checks should be carried out on the adjustment of engines to the fuel to avoid excessive emission of pollutants.(3) The other Member States have been notified of this request.(4) The development of renewable energies and biofuels in particular has been encouraged since 1985 by the Community. Council Directive 85/536/EEC of 5 December 1985 on crude oil savings through the use of substitute fuel components in petrol(2) stresses the role of biofuels in reducing Member States' dependence on oil imports and authorises the incorporation into petrol of up to 5 % of ethanol by volume and up to 15 % of ETBE by volume. Under Council Decisions 93/500/EEC(3) and 98/352/EC(4) and Decision 646/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5), the Altener programme on promoting renewable energies in the Community was adopted with the aim of securing a market share for biofuels of 5 % of total motor vehicle fuel consumption by 2005. The 1997 White Paper on renewable sources of energy further recommended setting an objective of the production of 18 million tonnes of liquid biofuels by 2010 as part of an overall goal of doubling the share of renewables in EU energy consumption by the same year. The Commission's Green Paper ""Towards a European strategy for energy supply security"" stresses the key role of tax instruments in achieving these aims by reducing the difference in cost price between biofuels and competing products. Lastly, on 7 November 2001, the Commission adopted an action plan and two proposals for directives on encouraging the use of substitute fuels in the transport sector, starting with regulatory and tax measures designed to promote biofuels.(5) The derogations requested by the Italian authorities are therefore in line with the Community's policy of developing the biofuel sector, in the interests of protecting the environment and ensuring security of energy supply.(6) The reductions in excise duty proposed by Italy are proportional to the percentage of biofuel contained in the final product. Moreover, the effective rates of excise duty are higher than the applicable Community minimum rates, in accordance with Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(6):>TABLE>(7) The Italian programme is of a limited duration of three years. An annual quota of 300000 tonnes of biodiesel will be eligible for the differentiated rate of excise duty.(8) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they do not distort competition or hinder the operation of the internal market and are not incompatible with Community policy on protection of the environment, energy and transport,. 1. Italy is authorised to apply differentiated rates of excise duty on mixtures used as motor fuels containing 5 % or 25 % of biodiesel until 30 June 2004.2. The reduction in excise duty may not be greater than the amount of excise duty payable on the volume of biofuels present in the products eligible for the reduction.3. The rates of duty applicable to the mixtures referred to in paragraph 1 must comply with the terms of Directive 92/82/EEC, and in particular the minimum rate laid down in Article 5 thereof. The reduction in excise duty shall be adjusted to take account of changes in the price of raw materials to avoid over-compensating for the extra costs involved in the manufacture of biofuels. This Decision shall expire on 30 June 2004. This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.. Done at Brussels, 25 March 2002.For the CouncilThe PresidentA. M.

29556,"2005/620/EC: Commission Decision of 18 August 2005 amending Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC as regards imports of fresh meat from Argentina and Russia (notified under document number C(2005) 3147)   (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 8(1) and (4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Part 1 of Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1979 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) sets out a list of third countries and parts of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import certain live animals and their fresh meat.(2) The territory of AR-4 in Argentina is free from foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination. That is correctly reflected under the specific conditions listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC under which the use of veterinary certificates BOV, OVI, RUW and RUF is authorised for that territory. However, the list of third countries and parts thereof in Part 1 of Annex II to that Decision as shown in the row relevant to the territory of AR-4 is not consistent with that. Therefore RUW and RUF should be inserted in that row for clarity and consistency.(3) The date of application relevant to the geographic and timing restrictions concerning the territory of AR-8 has been incorrectly stated and may lead to confusion. For the sake of clarity the date of application in the specific conditions table for the unauthorised period should be corrected to 17 March 2005.(4) The Murmansk region of Russia is authorised for importation to the Community meat of farmed non-domestic animals other than suidae and solipeds. Russia has asked the Commission to include the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous area in the list of third countries or parts thereof from which the fresh meat of farmed reindeer may be imported into the Community.(5) Following that request a mission was carried out in the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous area by the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) from 22 to 26 November 2004. The conclusion of that mission is that the animal health situation in the area is satisfactory and that the competent veterinary authority provides appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Community legislation, in particular the items mentioned in Article 8 paragraph 1 of Directive 2002/99/EC. Furthermore, Russia provided an action plan addressing all the recommendations of the mission report in a satisfactory way.(6) It is therefore appropriate to list the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous area as being authorised to import into the Community the fresh meat of farmed non-domestic animals other than suidae and solipeds.(7) Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC should be amended accordingly.(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,. Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

225,"Regulation (EEC) No 327/71 of the Council of 15 February 1971 laying down certain general rules relating to contracts for first processing and market preparation, to storage contracts and to disposal of tobacco held by intervention agencies. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 1 of 21 April 1970 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco, and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof;Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;Whereas, in pursuance of the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 the intervention agencies may conclude contracts for first processing and market preparation and for storage ; whereas intervention agencies generally have neither the equipment needed for these operations nor the requisite facilities for storing tobacco ; whereas, therefore, general rules should be laid down on the conclusion of such contracts;Whereas contracts for first processing and market preparation should be put out to tender ; whereas, in view of the different methods of handling different varieties of tobacco, it is necessary to ensure that tenderers possess suitable technical equipment ; whereas it should be possible to vary the form of the tendering procedure in the interests of the proper functioning of intervention;Whereas, in pursuance of Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1467/70 2 of 20 July 1970 laying down certain general rules governing intervention on the market in raw tobacco, the place chosen for processing is also determined in the light of transport costs from the place where the goods are taken over ; whereas such transport costs should therefore be taken into account in the conclusion of first processing and market preparation contracts;Whereas, in order to avoid any disturbance of the common organisation of the market, provision should be made for fixing maximum amounts for contracts;Whereas the opportunity of concluding a storage contract with the intervention agency should be open to any interested party capable of fulfilling the terms laid down;Whereas certain general rules concerning the disposal of tobacco held by intervention agencies should be adopted ; whereas criteria should be laid down for fixing the selling prices of such tobacco so as to take into account the provisions of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 72//70;Whereas it must be possible to distinguish during first processing and market preparation, between intervention tobacco and tobacco for which the premium is granted;. 1. First processing and market preparation contracts provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shall be concluded by means of an invitation to tender.2.

18479,"1999/58/EC: Commission Decision of 11 January 1999 allocating import quotas for the fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, hydrobromofluorocarbons and methyl bromide for the period 1 January to 31 December 1999, and in addition, allocating placing on the market quotas for hydrochlorofluorocarbons for the period 1 January to 31 December 1999 (notified under document number C(1998) 4563) (Only the Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish texts are authentic) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 of 15 December 1994 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular Article 4(8) and Article 7(2) thereof,Whereas Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 states that without prejudice to Article 4(8) and unless the substances are intended for destruction by a technology approved by the Parties, for feedstock use in the manufacture of other chemicals or for quarantine and pre-shipment, the release for free circulation in the Community of controlled substances imported from third countries shall be subject to quantitative limits;Whereas the quantitative limits for the release into free circulation in the Community of controlled substances are set out in Annex II and Article 4(8) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94; whereas these limits may be modified pursuant to Article 7(3);Whereas any modification of these quantitative limits may not lead to Community consumption of controlled substances exceeding the quantitative limits established according to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer;Whereas Article 4(8) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 defines the total calculated level of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) which producers and importers may place on the market or use for their own account in the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 and in each 12-month period thereafter; whereas this corresponds to a quantity of 8 079 ODP tonnes;Whereas the Commission is required, under Article 4(8), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16, to assign a quota to each producer or importer when the total quantity of HCFCs which producers and importers place on the market or use for their own account reaches 80 % of the quantitative limit established or at the latest on 1 January 2000, whichever comes first;Whereas the 80 % threshold has been reached in the year 1997; whereas it is likely that this will also be the case in 1998 making it necessary to assign placing on the market quotas for HCFCs for 1999;Whereas the Commission is required under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 to allocate quotas for controlled substances to undertakings each year in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 16;Whereas the Commission has published a notice to importers in the European Community of controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer (2) and has thereby received applications for import quotas;Whereas the applications for import quotas of the chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 and halons exceed the import quotas available under Article 7(2); therefore the Commission cannot satisfy the applications;Whereas some of the applications from the producers of ODS in the Community have been made for specific contingency purposes of possible breakdown of production, technical failure and non-availability of the substances in the Community; whereas requests by a producer to import under a contingency quota can only be considered following interruption to normal supply and non-availability of the substances within the Community;Whereas the allocation of individual quotas to producers and importers is based on the principles of continuity, equality and proportionality; whereas, in establishing quotas, the Commission has been guided by the need to reduce further the production, import and use of substances which damage the ozone layer while interfering in the market as little as possible;Whereas for methyl bromide the import quotas are allocated to the primary importers, considered by the Commission to be the importers who deal directly by way of invoicing with the producers outside the Community; whereas a reserve of 100,6 ODP tonnes of methyl bromide is retained for allocation during 1999 in accordance with the Article 16 procedure;Whereas it is appropriate to retain part of the total HCFC placing on the market quota for allocation to importers in the Community who are not engaged in the production of HCFCs; whereas, in 1998, the level of imports is 4 % of the total quota available; whereas it is appropriate in 1999 to retain 4 % of the total quota for allocation to importers who are not engaged in the production of HCFCs; whereas this corresponds to a quantity of 323 ODP tonnes;Whereas the HCFC placing on the market quota for each producer in the Community in 1999 shall reflect the market share which that producer reached in 1996, calculated in ODP tonnes; whereas it is appropriate to retain 1996 as a base-year; whereas it is considered appropriate to allocate the total available HCFC quantity of 7 756 ODP tonnes between producers without leaving a reserve;Whereas import licences shall be issued by the Commission in accordance with Article 6 of the aforesaid Regulation, after verification of compliance by the importer with Articles 7, 8 and 12;Whereas the release for free circulation in the Community of chlorofluorocarbons 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and hydrobromofluorocarbons imported from any State not party is prohibited in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94;Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established by Article 16 of the same Regulation,. 1.

1990,"96/598/EC: Commission Decision of 14 October 1996 on the list of programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases qualifying for a financial contribution from the Community in 1997. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended by Decision 94/370/EEC (2), and in particular Article 24 (5) thereof,Whereas in drawing up the list of programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases qualifying for a financial contribution from the Community for 1997, and the proposed rate and amount of the contribution for each programme, both the interest of each programme for the Community and the volume of available appropriations must be taken into account;Whereas the Commission has examined each of the programmes submitted by the Member States from both the veterinary and the financial point of view;Whereas the programmes on the list set out in this Decision will have to be approved individually at a later date;Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,. 1.

5439,"2012/317/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 18 June 2012 approving restrictions of authorisations of biocidal products containing difethialone notified by Germany in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2012) 4026). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC contains the list of active substances approved at Union level for inclusion in biocidal products. The active substance difethialone was approved for inclusion in products belonging to product-type 14, rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC, by Commission Directive 2007/69/EC of 29 November 2007 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include difethialone as an active substance in Annex I thereto (2).(2) Difethialone is an anticoagulant rodenticide known to pose risks of accidental incidents with children, as well as risks for animals and the environment. It has been identified as potentially persistent, liable to bioaccumulate and toxic (‘PBT’), or very persistent and very liable to bioaccumulate (‘vPvB’).(3) For reasons of public health and hygiene, it was nevertheless found to be justified to include difethialone and other anticoagulant rodenticides in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC, thus allowing Member States to authorise difethialone-based products. However, Directive 2007/69/EC obliges Member States to ensure, when granting authorisation of products containing difethialone, that primary as well as secondary exposure of humans, non-target animals and the environment is minimised, by considering and applying all appropriate and available risk mitigation measures.(4) The scientific evaluation leading to the adoption of Directive 2007/69/EC concluded that the most significant reductions in exposure to and risks posed by difethialone are achieved by restricting its use to treatment campaigns of limited duration, limiting access of non-target animals to the bait and removing unused bait and dead and moribund rodents during a baiting campaign in order to minimise the opportunity of primary or secondary exposure of non-target animals. The evaluation also concluded that only professional users are expected to follow such instructions. The risk mitigation measures mentioned in Directive 2007/69/EC therefore include restriction to professional use only.(5) The company LiphaTech S.A.S. (‘the applicant’) has, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, submitted an application to the United Kingdom for authorisation of six rodenticides containing difethialone (‘the products’). The products’ names and reference numbers in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘R4BP’) are indicated in the Annex to this Decision.(6) The United Kingdom granted the authorisations on 20 April 2011 (Generation Pat’), on 26 April 2011 (Generation Block, Generation B’Block and Generation S’Block) and on 27 April 2011 (Generation Grain’Tech and Rodilon Trio) (‘the first authorisations’). The products were authorised with restrictions to ensure the conditions of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC were met in the United Kingdom. Those restrictions did not include restriction to trained or licensed professional users.(7) On 6 November 2009, the applicant submitted a complete application to Germany for mutual recognition of the first authorisations in respect of the products.(8) On 22 November 2011, Germany notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant of its proposal to restrict the first authorisations in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany proposed to impose a restriction on the products to use by trained or licensed professionals.(9) The Commission invited the other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notification in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. Only the applicant submitted comments within that deadline. The notification was also discussed between Commission representatives, representatives of Member States’ Competent Authorities for biocidal products and the applicant in the meeting of the Product Authorisation and Mutual Recognition Facilitation Group of 6-7 December 2011, in which the applicant participated, and in the meeting of the Competent Authorities for Biocidal Products of 29 February to 2 March 2012.(10) The applicant has argued that the restriction to use by trained or licensed professionals is unjustified and should not be accepted, since its products are also suitable for rodent control by non-trained professionals and non-professionals. Furthermore, the applicant has put forward the arguments that the products are ready-to-use products; that the active ingredient content in the products is low; that an antidote exists; that the products can easily be kept out of the reach of children and non-target animals; that non-professional users are likely to remove dead rodents; and that non-professional users can be trained.(11) The Commission notes that, in accordance with Directive 2007/69/EC, authorisations of biocidal products containing difethialone are to be subject to all appropriate and available risk mitigation measures, including the restriction to professional use only. The scientific evaluation leading to the adoption of Directive 2007/69/EC concluded that only professional users could be expected to follow the instructions leading to the most significant reductions in exposure and risk. A restriction to professional users should therefore in principle be considered to be an appropriate risk mitigation measure. The arguments put forward by the applicant do not undermine that conclusion.(12) In the absence of any indication to the contrary, the Commission therefore considers that restriction to professional users is an appropriate and available risk mitigation measure for the authorisation of products containing difethialone in Germany. The fact that the United Kingdom did not consider such a restriction to be appropriate and available for an authorisation in its territory is immaterial for that conclusion. The decision of the United Kingdom to authorise non-professional use was based in particular on the risk of a delay in treatment of household infestations due to the costs involved in hiring trained professionals, and the associated risks to public hygiene. Germany, however, has explained that that risk is less prevalent in Germany thanks to Germany’s well functioning infrastructure of trained pest control operators and licensed professionals, such as farmers, gardeners and foresters, together with the availability of alternative methods for pest control within buildings, especially for control of mice.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Germany may restrict the authorisations granted in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 98/8/EC for the products mentioned in the Annex to this Decision to use by trained or licensed professionals.

As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation re-establishing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duty applicable to third countries.4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities charged against the preceding month no later than the 15th day of each month. At the Commission's request, they shall send statements of the quantities charged for period of 10 days, to be forwarded within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.

23104,"Directive 2002/14/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2002 establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Community - Joint declaration of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on employee representation. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 137(2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions(3),Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251(4), and in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on 23 January 2002,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 136 of the Treaty, a particular objective of the Community and the Member States is to promote social dialogue between management and labour.(2) Point 17 of the Community Charter of Fundamental Social Rights of Workers provides, inter alia, that information, consultation and participation for workers must be developed along appropriate lines, taking account of the practices in force in different Member States.(3) The Commission consulted management and labour at Community level on the possible direction of Community action on the information and consultation of employees in undertakings within the Community.(4) Following this consultation, the Commission considered that Community action was advisable and again consulted management and labour on the contents of the planned proposal; management and labour have presented their opinions to the Commission.(5) Having completed this second stage of consultation, management and labour have not informed the Commission of their wish to initiate the process potentially leading to the conclusion of an agreement.(6) The existence of legal frameworks at national and Community level intended to ensure that employees are involved in the affairs of the undertaking employing them and in decisions which affect them has not always prevented serious decisions affecting employees from being taken and made public without adequate procedures having been implemented beforehand to inform and consult them.(7) There is a need to strengthen dialogue and promote mutual trust within undertakings in order to improve risk anticipation, make work organisation more flexible and facilitate employee access to training within the undertaking while maintaining security, make employees aware of adaptation needs, increase employees' availability to undertake measures and activities to increase their employability, promote employee involvement in the operation and future of the undertaking and increase its competitiveness.(8) There is a need, in particular, to promote and enhance information and consultation on the situation and likely development of employment within the undertaking and, where the employer's evaluation suggests that employment within the undertaking may be under threat, the possible anticipatory measures envisaged, in particular in terms of employee training and skill development, with a view to offsetting the negative developments or their consequences and increasing the employability and adaptability of the employees likely to be affected.(9) Timely information and consultation is a prerequisite for the success of the restructuring and adaptation of undertakings to the new conditions created by globalisation of the economy, particularly through the development of new forms of organisation of work.(10) The Community has drawn up and implemented an employment strategy based on the concepts of ""anticipation"", ""prevention"" and ""employability"", which are to be incorporated as key elements into all public policies likely to benefit employment, including the policies of individual undertakings, by strengthening the social dialogue with a view to promoting change compatible with preserving the priority objective of employment.(11) Further development of the internal market must be properly balanced, maintaining the essential values on which our societies are based and ensuring that all citizens benefit from economic development.(12) Entry into the third stage of economic and monetary union has extended and accelerated the competitive pressures at European level. This means that more supportive measures are needed at national level.(13) The existing legal frameworks for employee information and consultation at Community and national level tend to adopt an excessively a posteriori approach to the process of change, neglect the economic aspects of decisions taken and do not contribute either to genuine anticipation of employment developments within the undertaking or to risk prevention.(14) All of these political, economic, social and legal developments call for changes to the existing legal framework providing for the legal and practical instruments enabling the right to be informed and consulted to be exercised.(15) This Directive is without prejudice to national systems regarding the exercise of this right in practice where those entitled to exercise it are required to indicate their wishes collectively.(16) This Directive is without prejudice to those systems which provide for the direct involvement of employees, as long as they are always free to exercise the right to be informed and consulted through their representatives.(17) Since the objectives of the proposed action, as outlined above, cannot be adequately achieved by the Member States, in that the object is to establish a framework for employee information and consultation appropriate for the new European context described above, and can therefore, in view of the scale and impact of the proposed action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve these objectives.(18) The purpose of this general framework is to establish minimum requirements applicable throughout the Community while not preventing Member States from laying down provisions more favourable to employees.(19) The purpose of this general framework is also to avoid any administrative, financial or legal constraints which would hinder the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings. To this end, the scope of this Directive should be restricted, according to the choice made by Member States, to undertakings with at least 50 employees or establishments employing at least 20 employees.(20) This takes into account and is without prejudice to other national measures and practices aimed at fostering social dialogue within companies not covered by this Directive and within public administrations.(21) However, on a transitional basis, Member States in which there is no established statutory system of information and consultation of employees or employee representation should have the possibility of further restricting the scope of the Directive as regards the numbers of employees.(22) A Community framework for informing and consulting employees should keep to a minimum the burden on undertakings or establishments while ensuring the effective exercise of the rights granted.(23) The objective of this Directive is to be achieved through the establishment of a general framework comprising the principles, definitions and arrangements for information and consultation, which it will be for the Member States to comply with and adapt to their own national situation, ensuring, where appropriate, that management and labour have a leading role by allowing them to define freely, by agreement, the arrangements for informing and consulting employees which they consider to be best suited to their needs and wishes.(24) Care should be taken to avoid affecting some specific rules in the field of employee information and consultation existing in some national laws, addressed to undertakings or establishments which pursue political, professional, organisational, religious, charitable, educational, scientific or artistic aims, as well as aims involving information and the expression of opinions.(25) Undertakings and establishments should be protected against disclosure of certain particularly sensitive information.(26) The employer should be allowed not to inform and consult where this would seriously damage the undertaking or the establishment or where he has to comply immediately with an order issued to him by a regulatory or supervisory body.(27) Information and consultation imply both rights and obligations for management and labour at undertaking or establishment level.(28) Administrative or judicial procedures, as well as sanctions that are effective, dissuasive and proportionate in relation to the seriousness of the offence, should be applicable in cases of infringement of the obligations based on this Directive.(29) This Directive should not affect the provisions, where these are more specific, of Council Directive 98/59/EC of 20 July 1998 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies(5) and of Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses(6).(30) Other rights of information and consultation, including those arising from Council Directive 94/45/EEC of 22 September 1994 on the establishment of a European Works Council or a procedure in Community-scale undertakings and Community-scale groups of undertakings for the purposes of informing and consulting employees(7), should not be affected by this Directive.(31) Implementation of this Directive should not be sufficient grounds for a reduction in the general level of protection of workers in the areas to which it applies,. Object and principles1.

41406,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 701/2012 of 30 July 2012 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 103h, 127(c) and 143 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishes a common organisation of agricultural markets which includes the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors. Pursuant to Article 103c of that Regulation, operational programmes in the fruit and vegetables sector may include crisis prevention and management measures, aimed at avoiding and dealing with crises on the fruit and vegetable markets.(2) In accordance with Article 79(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (2), Annex XI to that Implementing Regulation sets out the maximum amounts of support for market withdrawals for the products listed therein. Those amounts should be fixed so as to avoid that withdrawals become a permanent alternative outlet for products compared to placing them on the market and to ensure, at the same time, that withdrawals remain an effective instrument for crisis prevention and management.(3) In order to ensure that withdrawals remain an effective instrument for crisis prevention and management, the maximum amounts of support for market withdrawals should be increased for those fruit and vegetables where current support levels are particularly low compared to the average producer prices in the Union. This is the case for tomatoes, grapes, apricots, pears, aubergines and melons. In addition, in order to avoid overcompensation of withdrawals of lower-priced tomatoes intended for processing, a differentiated amount should be introduced for tomatoes produced from 1 June to 31 October, which is the period in which tomatoes intended for processing may be withdrawn.(4) In order to encourage the free distribution of withdrawn fruit and vegetables within the meaning of Article 103d(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and any other equivalent destinations approved by the Member States, a higher maximum amount of aid should be fixed than for other destinations, if the difference between the average producer price in the Union and the current maximum support levels allows this without creating an alternative outlet for the products compared to placing them on the market. This is the case for cauliflowers, tomatoes, apples, grapes, apricots, pears, aubergines, melons, watermelons, clementines and lemons.(5) In order to facilitiate the distribution of withdrawn products by charitable organisations and institutions, those organisations and institutions should only be obliged to keep financial accounts for the operation in question if they have requested and obtained the authorisation from the competent authorities of the Member State to ask a symbolic financial contribution from the final recipients. The possibility to request such a contribution should also be extended to fresh products.(6) In order to take past experiences in applying crisis prevention and management measures into account, it is appropriate to clarify the definitions of green harvesting and non-harvesting and the situations in which green harvesting and non-harvesting measures may be undertaken. In addition, so as to align the various crisis prevention and management measures and to increase their effectiveness, it is appropriate to delete the specific obligation provided for in Article 85(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 to include a compulsory market analysis in the first notification of each intended green harvesting operation.(7) In order to react to a sudden crisis situation, green harvesting and non-harvesting should be possible for fruit and vegetables with a longer harvesting period, although the normal harvest has already begun or commercial production has already been taken from the area in question, subject to restrictions to be decided by Member States. In such cases, only the production to be harvested in the six weeks following the operation should be compensated. As plants bearing fruit and vegetables with a longer harvesting period often bear both ripe and unripe products at the same time, it is appropriate to derogate from the general rule opposing the application of green harvesting and non-harvesting measures for the same product and the same given area in any given year.(8) In order to ensure that the obligation to demonstrate that each lot was disposed of in accordance with the relevant conditions is fulfilled and to allow for effective customs controls based on risk analysis, detailed rules should be set out as regards the obligation to make available to the customs authorities certain documents relevant for the controls to be undertaken.(9) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) It is appropriate to apply the new amounts of support for market withdrawals retroactively as from 1 July 2012 when the summer marketing season starts. In order to give time to importers to adapt to the new rules concerning the entry price system, those rules should apply from 1 September 2012.(11) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,. Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 is amended as follows:(1) In Article 80(2), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:(2) In Article 83(1), point (b) is replaced by the following:‘(b) keep separate stock records for the operations in question;’(3) In Article 84(1), points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:‘(a) “green harvesting” means the total harvesting of unripe non-marketable products on a given area. The products concerned shall not have been damaged prior to the green harvesting, whether due to climatic reasons or disease or otherwise;(b) “non-harvesting” means the termination of the current production cycle from the area concerned where the product is well developed and is of sound, fair and marketable quality. Destruction of products due to a climatic event or disease shall not be considered as non-harvesting.’(4) Article 85 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 2, the second subparagraph is deleted;(b) paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:(c) in paragraph 4, point (b) is replaced by the following:‘(b) at a level to cover not more than 90 % of the maximum support level for market withdrawals applicable to withdrawals for destinations other than free distribution as referred to in Article 103d(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.’(5) In Article 109(5), point (a) is replaced by the following:‘(a) a sample check on the stock records to be kept by recipients and on the financial accounts of the charitable organisations and institutions concerned where the second subparagraph of Article 80(2) applies;’(6) Article 110 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 1, the second subparagraph is deleted;(b) in paragraph 2, the following third subparagraph is added:(c) the following paragraph 2a is inserted:(7) Article 121 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 1, point (a) is deleted;(b) in paragraph 2, the following subparagraph is added:(8) In Article 137(4), the following fourth and fifth subparagraphs are added:(9) Annex XI is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

5530,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 900/2012 of 2 October 2012 entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Agneau de lait des Pyrénées (PGI)). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 7(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, France’s application of 10 December 2007 to register the name ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ as a protected geographical indication (PGI) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).(2) Spain submitted an objection to such registration under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objection was deemed admissible under points (a) and (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) thereof.(3) By letter dated 8 November 2010, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.(4) Given that no agreement was reached between Spain and France within the designated timeframe, the Commission should adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.(5) The objection of Spain focused in particular on the alleged incorrect delimitation of the geographical area and on the alleged absence of a specific link between the characteristics of the product concerned and the Pyrenees massif. Yet, the Commission has neither identified any obvious error related to these elements in the application submitted, nor spotted any inconsistency between the said application and the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.(6) Spain further considered in its objection that registering the name ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ is likely to create confusion regarding its actual origin, considering that the Pyrenees is not an exclusively French massif and considering that products similar to those covered by the application are traditionally elaborated in the Spanish part of the Pyrenees massif, including the already protected geographical indication ‘Cordero de Navarra’.(7) If no agreement is reached following an objection, the Commission shall take a decision in line with the third subparagraph of Article 7(5) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The term ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ used in translation, and in particular in Spanish language, could lead to confusion of consumers with respect to the true origin of the product. While there is no reason not to register the term ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’, it is necessary to avoid such confusion and ensure fair usage. Therefore, the geographical component of the designation ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ should not be translated into other languages when marketing the product corresponding to the specification for ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’. This would thus apply both for use of such translation on the label as well as in presentations or advertising of the product. Furthermore, with respect to labels, the country of origin should be indicated in the same field of vision as the term ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’, in letters of the same size as those used for that term.(8) In the light of the above, the name ‘Agneau de lait des Pyrénées’ should be entered in the Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,. The designation contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall be entered in the register. References to the term ‘Pyrénées’ shall not be translated when marketing products conforming to the specification of the designation contained in the Annex to this Regulation.Labels containing the designation contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall indicate the country of origin in the same field of vision, in letters of the same size as those of the designation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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..

33416,"2007/228/EC: Commission Decision of 11 April 2007 laying down transitional measures for the system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in Romania provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 (notified under document number C(2007) 1527) (Text with EEA relevance ). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,Whereas:(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 of 17 December 2003 establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Directives 92/102/EEC and 64/432/EEC (1) provides that all animals on a holding born after 9 July 2005, or as regards Bulgaria and Romania, animals born following the date of their Accession, are to be identified within a period not exceeding six months from the date of birth of the animal and, in any case, before the animal leaves the holding of birth.(2) Pursuant to that Regulation animals are to be identified by an eartag and by a second means of identification approved by the competent authority and conforming to certain technical characteristics.(3) By letter of 22 January 2007, Romania requested transitional measures for a period of one year for the identification of ovine and caprine animals in that Member State, during which time the animals will only be identified by means of a single eartag.(4) Romania has given appropriate assurances that animals entering into intra-Community trade or intended for export to third countries will be identified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004.(5) In order to allow Romania to continue with its identification system for one year but also to ensure that animals for intra-Community trade and export are identified by two means of identification, such animals should be identified in accordance with Community rules, except that the means of identification, provided for in Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, may be applied on the holding from which the animals are dispatched.(6) In order to facilitate the transition from the existing regime in Romania to that under Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, it is appropriate to lay down transitional measures for the identification of ovine and caprine animals in that Member State.(7) It is necessary for this Decision to apply from 1 January 2007 to ensure continuity in the application of the existing identification system for national movements.(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,. Identification of animals in RomaniaAnimals of the ovine and caprine species kept on holdings situated in Romania (‘the animals’) shall be identified by at least one single eartag bearing an individual code for each animal in accordance with national rules by the date the animal leaves the holding of birth or within a period of six months from the date of birth, whichever is the earlier. Identification of animals intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countriesAll animals intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countries shall be identified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, where applicable, in addition to the eartag applied in accordance with Article 1 of this Decision.By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, the means of identification referred to in that provision may be applied in the holding of origin, as defined in Article 2(b)(8) of Council Directive 91/68/EEC (2). Movement document requirementThe movement document accompanying an animal whenever it is moved within the national territory between two separate holdings, as provided for in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, shall contain the individual codes for each animal as provided for in Article 1 of this Decision.

40942,"Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU of 20 December 2012 laying down measures to facilitate the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in another Member State  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare (1), and in particular points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 11(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU, the Commission has an obligation to adopt measures to facilitate the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in a Member State other than the Member State where the prescriptions are dispensed.(2) Pursuant to point (a) of Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU, the Commission is to adopt a non-exhaustive list of elements to be included in those prescriptions. That list should enable the dispensing health professional to verify the authenticity of the prescription and whether it was issued by a member of a regulated health profession who is legally entitled to do so.(3) The elements to be included in the prescriptions should facilitate the correct identification of medicinal products or medical devices as referred to in point (c) of Article 11 (2) of Directive 2011/24/EU.(4) Medicinal products should therefore be indicated using the common name in order to facilitate the correct identification of products which are marketed under different brand names across the Union and of products that are not marketed in all Member States. That common name to be used should be either the International Non-proprietary name recommended by the World Health Organisation or, if such name does not exist, the usual common name. In contrast, the brand name of a medicinal product should only be used to ensure clear identification of biological medicinal products as defined in point 3.2.1.1.(b) of Annex I to Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community Code relating to medicinal products for human use (2), because of the special characteristics of those products, or of other medicinal products in cases where the prescribing professional considers it medically necessary.(5) Medical devices do not have common names as medicinal products. Therefore the prescription should also include direct contact details of the prescriber which enable the dispensing professional, where necessary, to enquire about the prescribed medical device and correctly identify it.(6) The non-exhaustive list of elements to appear on the prescriptions should facilitate the comprehensibility of the information to patients concerning the prescription and the instructions included on the use of the product, as referred to in point (d) of Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU. The Commission will regularly review the situation in order to assess whether additional measures are necessary to help patients understand the instructions concerning the use of the product.(7) To enable patients to request appropriate prescriptions, it is important that national contact points referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2011/24/EU provide patients with adequate information on the content and purpose of the non-exhaustive list of elements that should appear in those prescriptions.(8) As the overall impact of cross-border healthcare is limited, the non-exhaustive list of elements should apply only to prescriptions intended to be used in another Member State.(9) As the principle of mutual recognition of prescriptions derives from Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, this Directive does not preclude the Member States from applying the principle of mutual recognition to prescriptions that do not contain the elements set out in the non-exhaustive list. At the same time, nothing in this Directive prevents the Member States from providing that prescriptions drafted on their territory, with a view to be used in another Member State, contain additional elements that are provided for under the rules applicable on their territory, as long as these rules are compatible with Union law.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 16(1) of Directive 2011/24/EU. Subject matterThis Directive lays down measures for the uniform implementation of Article 11(1) of Directive 2011/24/EU concerning the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in another Member State. ScopeThis Directive shall apply to prescriptions, as defined in point (k) of Article 3 of Directive 2011/24/EU, which are issued further to a request of a patient who intends to use them in another Member State. Content of prescriptionsMember States shall ensure that prescriptions contain at least the elements set out in the Annex. Information requirementsMember States shall ensure that the national contact points referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2011/24/EU inform patients about the elements to be included, pursuant to this Directive, in prescriptions issued in a Member State other than the Member State where they are dispensed. Transposition1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 25 October 2013 at the latest.

It applies in respect of activities and persons to which Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 applies.(3) Article 7(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (3) provides for a derogation from the requirements for fish oil for human consumption laid down in Part E of Chapter III of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 for food business operators so that they may continue, until 31 October 2007, to import fish oil from establishments in third countries that were approved for that purpose before the date of the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1664/2006 (4).(4) In addition, Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 provides for a derogation from Annex VI to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down implementing measures for certain products under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and for the organisation of official controls under Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, derogating from Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (5), for fish oil for which a certificate has been issued in accordance with national rules applicable before the date of the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005, duly completed and signed prior to 31 October 2007, which may be imported into the Community until 31 December 2007.(5) It now appears that third countries will be unable to comply with the requirements for fish oil for human consumption laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 by 31 October 2007. In particular, third countries are experiencing practical difficulties in adjusting the processing conditions in fish oil producing establishments in order to comply with those requirements. As the importation of fish oil on the basis of the existing requirements does not pose any additional risk for human health, and in order to avoid any disruption in trade, it is appropriate to extend by one year the period of the derogation. The derogation provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should therefore be extended until 31 October 2008.(6) The derogation provided for in Article 7(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should also be extended until 31 December 2008 for imports into the Community of fish oil accompanied by the relevant certificate. In addition, such certificates should be duly completed and signed prior to 31 October 2008.(7) Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 is amended as follows:1. In paragraph 3, the date of ‘31 October 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 October 2008’.2. In paragraph 4, point (b) is amended as follows:(a) the date of ‘31 October 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 October 2008’;(b) the date of ‘31 December 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2008’.

40585,"2012/210/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 23 April 2012 on recognition of the ‘Ensus voluntary scheme under RED for Ensus bioethanol production’ for demonstrating compliance with the sustainability criteria under Directives 2009/28/EC and 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (1), and in particular Article 18(6) thereof,Having regard to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels (2), as amended by Directive 2009/30/EC (3), and in particular Article 7c(6) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee established by Article 25, paragraph 2 of Directive 2009/28/EC,Whereas:(1) Directives 2009/28/EC and 2009/30/EC both lay down sustainability criteria for biofuels. When reference is made to the provisions of Articles 17, 18 and Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC this should be construed as the reference also to the similar provisions of Articles 7b, 7c and Annex IV to Directive 98/70/EC.(2) Where biofuels and bioliquids are to be taken into account for the purposes referred to in Article 17(1), points (a), (b) and (c), Member States shall require economic operators to show the compliance of biofuels and bioliquids with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(2) to (5) by Directive 2009/28/EC.(3) Recital 76 of Directive 2009/28/EC states that the imposition of an unreasonable burden on industry should be avoided and voluntary schemes can help create efficient solutions for proving compliance with these sustainability criteria.(4) The Commission may decide that a voluntary national or international scheme demonstrates that consignments of biofuel comply with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(3) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC or that a voluntary national or international scheme to measure greenhouse gas emission savings contains accurate data for the purposes of Article 17(2) of this Directive.(5) The Commission may recognise such a voluntary scheme for a period of five years.(6) When an economic operator provides proof or data obtained in accordance with a scheme that has been recognised by the Commission, to the extent covered by that recognition decision, a Member State shall not require the supplier to provide further evidence of compliance with the sustainability criteria.(7) The ‘Ensus voluntary scheme under RED for Ensus bioethanol production’ (hereafter ‘Ensus scheme’) was submitted on 21 November 2011 to the Commission with the request for recognition. This scheme covers bioethanol from EU feed wheat produced by the Ensus One plant. The recognised scheme will be made available at the transparency platform established under Directive 2009/28/EC. The Commission will take into account considerations of commercial sensitivity and may decide to only partially publish the scheme.(8) Assessment of the Ensus scheme found it to adequately cover the sustainability criteria of Directive 2009/28/EC, as well as applying a mass balance methodology in line with the requirements of Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC.(9) The evaluation of the Ensus scheme found that it meets adequate standards of reliability, transparency and independent auditing and also complies with the methodological requirements in Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC,. The voluntary scheme ‘Ensus voluntary scheme under RED for Ensus bioethanol production’ for which the request for recognition was submitted to the Commission on 21 November 2011 demonstrates that consignments of biofuels comply with the sustainability criteria as laid down in Article 17(3), 17(4) and 17(5) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(3), 7b(4) and 7b(5) of Directive 98/70/EC. The scheme also contains accurate data for purposes of Article 17(2) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(2) of Directive 98/70/EC.Furthermore, it may be used for demonstrating compliance with Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC and of Article 7c(1) of Directive 98/70/EC. 1.   The Decision is valid for a period of five years after it enters into force. If the scheme, after adoption of the Commission decision, undergoes changes to its contents in a way that might affect the basis of this Decision, such changes shall be notified to the Commission without delay. The Commission will assess the notified changes with a view to establish whether the scheme is still adequately covering the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.2.   If it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be decisive for this Decision and if a severe and structural breach of those elements has taken place, the Commission may revoke its Decision. This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union..

37997,"2010/584/EU: Council Implementing Decision of 27 September 2010 authorising the Republic of Latvia to apply a measure derogating from Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 291(2) thereof,Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1) (‘the VAT Directive’), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Whereas:(1) By letter registered with the Secretariat General of the Commission on 17 February 2010, Latvia requested authorisation for a measure derogating from Article 287(10) of the VAT Directive in order to exempt taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 50 000 (‘the measure’). The measure would release those taxable persons from certain or all of the value added tax (‘VAT’) obligations referred to in Chapters 2 to 6 of Title XI of the VAT Directive.(2) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 395(2) of the VAT Directive, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 4 May 2010 of the request made by Latvia. By letter dated 7 May 2010, the Commission notified Latvia that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.(3) A special scheme for small enterprises is an option which is already available to Member States under Title XII of the VAT Directive. The measure derogates from Title XII of the VAT Directive only insofar as the taxable person’s annual turnover threshold for the special scheme is higher than that currently allowed for Latvia under Article 287(10) of the VAT Directive, which is EUR 17 200.(4) A higher threshold for the special scheme may significantly reduce the VAT obligations of the smallest businesses, whilst that special scheme is optional for taxable persons and allows businesses to opt for the normal VAT arrangements.(5) In its proposal for a Directive simplifying value added tax obligations of 29 October 2004 (2), the Commission included provisions aimed at allowing Member States to set the annual turnover ceiling for the VAT exemption scheme at up to EUR 100 000 or the equivalent in national currency, with the possibility of updating this amount each year. The request submitted by Latvia is in line with this proposal.(6) The derogation will have no impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from value added tax,. By way of derogation from Article 287(10) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Republic of Latvia is authorised to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than the equivalent in national currency of EUR 50 000 at the conversion rate on the day of its accession to the European Union. This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.It shall expire on either the date of entry into force of a Directive amending the amounts of the annual turnover ceilings below which taxable persons may qualify for VAT exemption or on 31 December 2013, whichever date is earlier.

Article 16 of that Regulation provides that Union financial measures in the area of basic data collection are not to exceed 50 % of the costs incurred by Member States in carrying out the programme of collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector.(9) This Decision constitutes the financing decision within the meaning of Article 84(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (5).(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,.

5040,"2010/381/: Commission Decision of 8 July 2010 on emergency measures applicable to consignments of aquaculture products imported from India and intended for human consumption (notified under document C(2010) 4563)  (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 lays down the general principles governing food and feed in general, and food and feed safety in particular, at Union and national level. It provides for emergency measures where it is evident that food or feed imported from a third country is likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health or the environment, and that such risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member State(s) concerned.(2) Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products (2) provides that the production process of animals and primary products of animal origin is to be monitored for the purpose of detecting the presence of certain residues and substances in live animals, their excrements and body fluids and in tissue, animal products, animal feed and drinking water.(3) Commission Decision 2002/657/EC of 12 August 2002 implementing Council Directive 96/23/EC concerning the performance of analytical methods and the interpretation of results (3) provides rules for the analytical methods to be used in the testing of official samples taken pursuant to Directive 96/23/EC and specifies common criteria for the interpretation of analytical results of official control laboratories for such samples.(4) Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin (4) lays down rules and procedures for the classification of pharmacologically active substances and for establishing the maximum concentration of residues of such substances which may be permitted in food of animal origin.(5) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 lays down rules and procedures in order to establish the level of residues of a pharmacologically active substance for control reasons in the case of certain substances for which a maximum residue limit has not been laid down in accordance with that Regulation.(6) The results of a Commission inspection to India in September 2009 have revealed shortcomings as regards the residue control system in aquaculture products and a lack of appropriate laboratory capacity for detecting certain pharmacologically active substances in such products, as required by Directive 96/23/EC and by Decision 2002/657/EC.(7) Following that inspection, India has submitted an action plan and guarantees addressing the recommendations in the inspection report. Pending the full implementation of that plan and of those guarantees, the risk remains that aquaculture products originating from India contain residues of certain pharmacologically active substances. Further measures are therefore required at Union level to minimise that risk.(8) Commission Decision 2009/727/EC of 30 September 2009 on emergency measures applicable to crustaceans imported from India and intended for human consumption or animal feed (5) already provides that consignments of crustaceans of aquaculture origin introduced from India and intended for human consumption or animal feed are to be tested for the presence of nitrofurans or their metabolites before they are imported into the Union. In addition, in aquaculture products other than crustaceans, chloramphenicol and tetracyclines are also known to be used in India.(9) Since the adoption of Decision 2009/727/EC, the number of positive findings of nitrofurans or their metabolites in crustaceans reported by the Member States has decreased. Therefore, it is appropriate to adopt measures similar to those laid down in that Decision in respect of all aquaculture products imported from India and intended for human consumption.(10) In addition a significant proportion of the aquaculture products imported from India should undergo mandatory testing by the Member States for the detection of pharmacology active substances as defined in Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 before those products are placed on the market. The results of that mandatory testing should provide more accurate information on the actual contamination of aquaculture products originating from India with those residues. The testing should also deter producers in India from misusing those substances.(11) It is appropriate that Member States notify the Commission of the results of the tests performed, where the presence of the concerned pharmacologically active substances not authorised for use in food producing animals, or exceeding the maximum residue limits laid down in Union law, is revealed. Member States should also regularly submit reports on all the tests carried out by them.(12) The scope of this Decision also includes crustaceans of aquaculture origin currently covered by Decision 2009/727/EC. Accordingly, in the interest of clarity and consistency of Union legislation, that Decision should be repealed.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. This Decision shall apply to the importation of consignments of aquaculture products from India intended for human consumption (‘consignments’). 1.   Member States shall authorise the importation into the Union of consignments provided that they are accompanied by the results of an analytical test carried out at the place of origin to ensure that they do not present a danger to human health.The analytical test must have been carried out on an official sample, in particular with a view to detecting the presence of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline and of metabolites of nitrofurans.Those samples must have been analysed using analytical methods in conformity with Articles 3 and 4 of Decision 2002/657/EC.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of consignments that are not accompanied by the results of an analytical test provided that the importing Member State ensures that each consignment undergoes such analytical tests for the detection of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and of metabolites of nitrofurans on arrival. 1.   Member States shall, by using appropriate sampling plans, ensure that official samples are taken from at least 20 % of consignments presented for import at border inspection posts on their territory.2.   The official samples taken pursuant to paragraph 1 shall undergo analytical tests for the detection of residues of pharmacologically active substances as defined in Article 2(a) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, and in particular of chloramphenicol, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and of metabolites of nitrofurans. The consignments from which official samples have been taken pursuant to Articles 2(2) and 3(1) shall be kept under official detention by the competent authority of the Member State concerned, until the analytical tests have been completed.Those consignments may be placed on the market only if the results of the analytical tests confirm that they comply with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009. 1.   Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the results of the analytical tests if those tests reveal the presence of residues of any pharmacologically active substance:(a) classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 at a level exceeding the maximum residue limit established pursuant to that Regulation; or(b) not classified in accordance with Article 14(2)(a), (b) or (c) of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009; however, the Member State concerned is not required to immediately inform the Commission of the results of such tests where the level of residues is lower than:(i) the reference point for action established for that substance pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009; or(ii) the minimum required performance limit established for that substance pursuant to Decision 2002/657/EC.The results of those analytical tests shall be notified to the Commission under the rapid alert system established pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.2.   Every three months Member States shall submit to the Commission a report on all the results of the analytical tests carried out on the consignments in the previous three months.The first report shall be submitted to the Commission by 1 October 2010. All expenditure incurred in the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignor, the consignee or the agent of either the consignor or the consignee. Decision 2009/727/EC is repealed.

20057,"Directive 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on energy efficiency requirements for ballasts for fluorescent lighting. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 95 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),Whereas:(1) It is important to promote measures aimed at ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market which, at the same time, promote energy-saving, environmental protection and consumer protection.(2) Fluorescent lighting accounts for a significant share of electricity consumption in the Community and thus of total energy consumption. The various models of ballasts for fluorescent lighting available on the Community market have very different levels of consumption for a given type of lamp, i.e. extremely variable energy efficiency.(3) This Directive aims at reducing energy consumption for ballasts for fluorescent lighting by moving gradually away from the less efficient ballasts, and towards the more efficient ballasts which may also offer extensive energy-saving features.(4) Some Member States are on the point of adopting provisions relating to the efficiency of ballasts for fluorescent lighting, which might create barriers to trade in these products in the Community.(5) It is appropriate to take as a base a high level of protection in proposals for the approximation of the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in Member States concerning health, safety, environmental protection and consumer protection. This Directive ensures a high level of protection for both the environment and the consumer, in aiming at a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of ballasts.(6) In accordance with the subsidiarity and proportionality principles laid down by Article 5 of the Treaty, as the objectives of this action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, they can, by reason of the scale and effects of the proposed action, be better achieved by the Community. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.(7) An effective enforcement system is necessary to ensure that this Directive is implemented properly, guarantees fair conditions of competition for producers and protects consumer rights.(8) Council Decision 93/465/EEC of 22 July 1993 concerning the modules for the various phases of the conformity assessment procedures and the rules for the affixing and use of the CE conformity marking, which are intended to be used in the technical harmonisation directives(4), applies, except as regards marking and withdrawal from the market, where departure to a limited extent from the Decision is justified by the type of product and the specific market situation.(9) In the interest of international trade, international standards should be used wherever appropriate. The electricity consumption of a ballast is defined by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation Standard EN 50294 of December 1998, which is based on international standards.(10) Ballasts for fluorescent lighting complying with the energy efficiency requirements of this Directive must bear the ""CE"" marking and associated information, in order to enable them to move freely.(11) This Directive is confined to ballasts for fluorescent lighting, supplied by mains electricity,. 1. This Directive shall apply to electric mains-operated ballasts for fluorescent lighting sources as defined in European Standard EN 50294 of December 1998, point 3.4, and referred to hereinafter as ""ballasts"".2. The following types of ballasts are excluded from this Directive:- ballasts integrated in lamps,- ballasts designed specifically for luminaires to be mounted in furniture and which form a non-replaceable part of the luminaire which cannot be tested separately from the luminaire (according to European Standard EN 60920, clause 2.1.3), and- ballasts to be exported from the Community, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires.3. Ballasts shall be classified in accordance with Annex I. 1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that, during a first phase, ballasts may be placed on the market, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, only if the power consumption of the ballast in question is less than, or equal to, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuits as defined in Annexes I, II and III for each ballast category.2. The manufacturer of a ballast, its or his authorised representative established in the Community or the person responsible for placing the ballast, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, on the market shall be responsible for ensuring that each ballast placed on the market, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, conforms with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1. 1. Member States may not prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market in their territory of ballasts, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, which bear the ""CE"" marking attesting to their conformity with the provisions of this Directive.2. Unless they have evidence to the contrary, Member States shall presume that ballasts, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, bearing the ""CE"" marking required under Article 5 comply with the provisions of this Directive. 1. Without prejudice to Articles 5 and 6, the procedures for conformity assessment of ballasts as single components or incorporated in luminaires and the rules for the affixing and use of the CE conformity marking shall be in accordance with Module A of Council Decision 93/465/EEC and with the criteria set out in that Decision and in the general guidelines in the Annex thereto.2. The period referred to in paragraph 2 of Module A of Council Decision 93/465/EEC shall be 3 years for the purposes of this Directive.3. (a) The content of the technical documentation referred to in paragraph 3 of Module A of Council Decision 93/465/EEC shall comprise:(i) the name and address of the manufacturer;(ii) a general description of the model sufficient for unambiguous identification;(iii) information, including drawings as relevant, on the main design features of the model and in particular on items which appreciably affect its electricity consumption;(iv) the operating instructions;(v) the results of power consumption measurements carried out as required by subparagraph c;(vi) details of the conformity of these measurements as compared with the energy consumption requirements set out in Annex I.(b) Technical documentation established for other Community legislation may be used in so far as it meets these requirements.(c) Manufacturers of ballast shall be responsible for establishing the power consumption of each ballast according to the procedures specified in European Standard EN 50294 of December 1998, as well as the appliance's conformity with the requirements of Articles 2 and 9. When ballasts are placed on the market, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, they shall bear the ""CE"" marking, which shall consist of the initials ""CE"". The ""CE"" marking shall be affixed visibly, legibly and indelibly to ballasts and their packaging. Where ballasts are placed on the market incorporated in luminaires, the ""CE"" marking shall be affixed to the luminaires and their packaging. 1. Where a Member State establishes that the ""CE"" marking has been affixed improperly, the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community shall be obliged to bring the ballasts into conformity with this Directive and to end the infringement in accordance with the conditions imposed by the Member State. Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the Community, the person responsible for placing the ballasts on the market, as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, shall assume these obligations.2. Where the ballasts are not in conformity with this Directive, the Member State shall take all necessary measures pursuant to Article 7 to prohibit the placing on the market and the sales of the ballasts in question. 1. Any measure taken by a Member State pursuant to this Directive which contains a prohibition on the placing on the market or the sales of ballasts, as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, shall state the precise grounds on which it is based. The manufacturer, his authorised representative established in the Community or the person responsible for placing the ballasts on the market shall be notified without delay of the measure and shall be informed at the same time of the possibilities and time limits regarding the legal remedies available to it under the laws in force in the Member State in question.2. The Member State concerned shall immediately inform the Commission of any such measure, indicating the reasons for its decision. The Commission shall make this information known to the other Member States. 1. Member States shall bring into force and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within one year of its entry into force. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.Member States shall apply these measures on the expiry of a period of 18 months from the date of entry into force of this Directive.When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.3. During a period of 18 months following entry into force of this Directive, Member States shall permit the placing on the market of ballasts, either as a single component or incorporated in luminaires, which comply with the same conditions as those which were applied on their territory at the date of entry into force of this Directive. 1. Five years after the entry into force of this Directive, i.e. during a second phase, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuits shall be in accordance with Annex IV, in particular in connection with Article 2.2. By 31 December 2005, the Commission shall forward an assessment to the European Parliament and the Council of the results obtained as compared with those expected. With a view to achieving a third phase in energy efficiency improvement, the Commission shall then, in consultation with the interested parties, present proposals, if appropriate, regarding further improvement in energy efficiency of ballasts. The maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuits and the date of its entry into force shall be based on levels which can be economically and technically justified in the light of the circumstances at the time. Any other measure judged appropriate to improve the inherent energy efficiency of ballasts and to encourage the use of energy-saving lighting controls systems should be considered. 0This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. 1This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

This is a function of the lamp power and of the type of ballast; for this reason, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuits of a given ballast is defined as the maximum ballast-lamp circuit power, with different levels for each lamp power and ballast type.The terms used in this Annex correspond to the definitions in European Standard EN 50294 of December 1998 laid down by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation.ANNEX IIIFIRST PHASEThe maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuits expressed in W is defined by the following table:>TABLE>Whenever a ballast is designed for a lamp which falls between two values indicated in the above table, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuit is calculated by linear interpolation between the two values of maximum input power for the two closest lamps power indicated in the table.For example if a ballast in lamp category 1 is rated for a 48 W lamp at 50 Hz, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuit is calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>ANNEX IVSECOND PHASEThe maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuits expressed in W is defined by the following table:>TABLE>Whenever a ballast is designed for a lamp which falls between two values indicated in the above table, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuit is calculated by linear interpolation between the two values of maximum input power for the two closest lamps power indicated in the table.For example if a ballast in lamp category 1 is rated for a 48 W lamp at 50 Hz, the maximum input power of ballast-lamp circuit is calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>Joint declarations by the European Parliament, the Council and the CommissionThe Commission shall also assess the share of Community production of ballasts exported outside the Community market either as a single component or incorporated into luminaires. The Commission shall further assess the possibility of applying the flexibility mechanisms defined under the Kyoto Protocol. The Commission shall promote in the appropriate fora international standards based on the principles of this Directive.Proposals for a third phase as referred to in Article 9(2) might be necessary if, before the assessment is completed on 31 december 2005, the results achieved are not those expected, the expectation in question being that the average market share, at EU level, of ballasts meeting the energy efficiency standards of CELMA type A would be greater than 55 %.

12803,"Council Regulation (EC) No 398/94 of 21 February 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand and authorizing the definitive collection of a provisional anti-dumping duty. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,Having regard to the Commission proposal, submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the aforementioned Regulation,Whereas,A. Provisional measures  (1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of  Korea and Thailand. The Commission, by Decision 91/604/EEC (3), accepted an undertaking offered by Thai Merry Co. Ltd, a Thai producer, the imports of which were consequently excluded from the payment of anti-dumping duties.(2) Thai Merry Co. Ltd has, by correspondence dated 18 August 1993, withdrawn its undertaking. Subsequently the Commission imposed, by Regulation (EEC) No 2957/93 (4), a provisional duty on imports into the Community of gas-fuelled, non-refillable  pocket flint lighters, falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 (Taric code 9613 10 00 * 10), originating in Thailand, and produced by Thai Merry Co. Ltd, (Taric additional code: 8740).B. Subsequent Procedure  (3) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the Community industry requested, and was granted, an opportunity to be heard by the Commission and made its views knows.(4) No new arguments were put forward in connection with the withdrawal of the undertaking by Thai Merry Co. Ltd. The findings of Regulation (EEC) No 2957/93 in this respect are therefore confirmed by the Council.Furthermore, the Council has no reason to believe that the definitive findings made during the investigation leading to the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 require modification. No arguments were presented by any interested party in this  respect.C. Duties  (5) Since the general country-wide duty established by Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 was based on the situation of Thai Merry Co. Ltd, the only amendment to that Regulation which is necessary is to remove the exemption of Thai Merry Co. Ltd  from this duty.D. Collection of provisional duty  (6) By virtue of the extent of the dumping margin established and the seriousness of the injury caused to the Community producers, it is also necessary to collect definitively and in their entirety the amounts secured  by way of provisional anti-dumping duty,. Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 shall be deleted. The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2957/93 shall be definitively collected. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

4490,"Commission Directive 2007/20/EC of 3 April 2007 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include dichlofluanid as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance ). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 16(2) second subparagraph thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 of 4 November 2003 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes dichlofluanid.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, dichlofluanid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) In accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, the United Kingdom was designated as Rapporteur Member State. The United Kingdom submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 13 September 2005 in accordance with Article 10(5) and (7) of that Regulation.(4) The competent authority report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 28 November 2006, in an assessment report.(5) The review of dichlofluanid did not reveal any open questions or concerns to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER).(6) It appears from the various examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing dichlofluanid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the assessment report. It is therefore appropriate to include dichlofluanid in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing dichlofluanid can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(7) It is important that the provisions of this Directive should be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance dichlofluanid and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that products authorised for industrial use must be used with appropriate personal protective equipment and that instructions are provided to indicate that treated timber must be stored after treatment on impermeable hard standing to prevent direct losses to soil and allow losses to be collected for re-use or disposal, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(d) of Directive 98/8/EC.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing dichlofluanid to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 29 February 2008 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 March 2009.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Before the activated alumina is used for the treatment of water it shall be subjected to an initialisation procedure which includes the use of acidic or alkaline chemicals to remove any residues and a backwash treatment to remove fine particles.2. A regeneration procedure shall be applied at intervals ranging from one to four weeks depending on the water quality and throughput. It shall include the use of appropriate chemicals to remove the adsorbed ions in order to restore the adsorption capacity of the activated alumina, and to remove any possibly formed biofilms. This procedure shall be done in the following three stages:— Treatment with sodium hydroxide to remove fluoride ions and replace them with hydroxide ions.— Treatment with an acid to remove residual sodium hydroxide and activate the medium.— Rinsing with drinking or demineralised water and conditioning with the water as the final step in order to ensure that the filter has no impact on the overall mineral content of the treated water.3. The chemicals and reagents used for the initialisation and regeneration procedures shall comply with the relevant European standards (1) or applicable national standards relating to the purity of the chemical reagents used for treatment of water intended for human consumption.4. The activated alumina shall comply with the European standard for leaching tests (EN 12902) (2) to ensure that no residues are released into the water resulting in concentrations exceeding the limits set in Directive 2003/40/EC or in the absence of limits in that Directive, the limits set in Directive 98/83/EC or in applicable national legislation. The total amount of aluminium ions in the treated water as it results after the release of aluminium, the main component of activated alumina, shall not exceed 200microg/L, as established in Directive 98/83/EC. This amount shall be checked regularly in accordance with the Council Directive.5. The processing steps shall be subject to good manufacturing practices and HACCP principles set out in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on food hygiene (3).6.

36337,"2009/4/EC: Commission Decision of 18 December 2008 amending Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC as regards the entry for Botswana and Brazil in the list of third countries or parts thereof from which imports into the Community of certain fresh meat are authorised (notified under document number C(2008) 8516) Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) and Article 8(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) establishes the sanitary conditions for the importation into the Community of live animals excluding equidae, and the importation of fresh meat of such animals, including equidae, but excluding meat preparations.(2) Decision 79/542/EEC provides that imports of fresh meat intended for human consumption are only allowed if such meat comes from a territory of a third country or a part thereof listed in Part 1 of Annex II to that Decision, and the fresh meat meets the requirements set out in the appropriate veterinary certificate for that meat in accordance with the models set out in Part 2 of that Annex, taking into account any specific conditions or supplementary guarantees required for the meat.(3) Botswana is listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC and has been divided into different territories, mainly according to their animal health status. Those territories are authorised to export to the Community de-boned and matured fresh meat of domestic bovine animals, of domestic sheep and goats, and of certain farmed and wild non-domestic animals (fresh meat).(4) On 20 October 2008, an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was suspected in a farm located in the district of Ghanzi, situated in the veterinary disease control zone 12 of Botswana. That veterinary disease control zone is at present authorised to export fresh meat to the Community. As soon as the outbreak was confirmed, the competent authority in Botswana suspended exports of fresh meat to the Community.(5) In view of these circumstances, imports into the Community of fresh meat from the veterinary disease control zone 12 of Botswana should no longer be authorised. Considering that the competent authority in Botswana has provided sufficient guarantees regarding the measures put in place to control the spread of the disease and considering that the affected areas are completely fenced it is appropriate to limit that restriction to veterinary disease control zone 12 only.(6) The description of the territory BR-1 of Brazil excludes from the territories authorised to export fresh de-boned and matured bovine meat into the Community an area called the ‘high surveillance zone’. This consists of a strip of 15 km along the border with Paraguay that covers a number of municipalities, including Caracol and Antônio João that were not included. It is therefore opportune to add these two municipalities to the description of the ‘high surveillance zone’ in the territory BR-1.(7) Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.(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,. Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision. This Decision shall apply from 20 December 2008. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ""cereal products"", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ""other cereals"", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) The application concerns the authorisation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae DSM 14223 as a feed additive for salmonids, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.(4) Its use was also provisionally authorised for salmonids by Commission Regulation (EC) No 521/2005 (2).(5) New data were submitted in support of the application for the authorisation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Aspergillus oryzae DSM 14223 for salmonids.

1479,"Commission Decision of 19 July 1993 on a procedure for the application of the second paragraph of Article 53 of the EAEC Treaty (Only the Portuguese text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the second paragraph of Article 53 thereof,Having regard to the letter of 21 December 1990 from the Empresa Nacional de Urânio SA, a company constituted under Portuguese law, to the Commission,Whereas:I. THE FACTS  (1) The Empresa Nacional de Urânio SA, a company constituted under Portuguese law, hereinafter referred to as ENU, is a mining company which produces natural uranium concentrates in Portugal and which is encountering serious difficulties  following the non-renewal of a long-term contract which covers practically three-quarters of its productions.(2) The ENU approached the Euratom Supply Agency requesting it to resolve the problem of the disposal of the Portuguese output and to exercise its right of option pursuant to Article 57 of the EAEC Treaty on its output. The Agency tried unsuccessfully  to find users prepared to take supplies from the ENU.By letter of 8 December 1989, the Member States of the Commission responsible for energy and the Euratom Supply Agency indicated that the Agency's supply policy should in his view include a 'special course of action' to enable the Portuguese problem to  be resolved. The Agency has continued to try to find buyers for the production among Community users but always without success, as the prices asked by the ENU are not competitive in market terms.(3) On 21 December 1990 the ENU formally requested that the Commission, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 53 and Article 148 of the EAEC Treaty, direct the Agency to restore the machinery established by Chapter VI of the Treaty, to undertake  an investigation into the provision of supplies to users from outside the Community, to discuss compensation to the ENU and to require the Agency to adopt a 'special course of action':'(a) to order the Agency pursuant to Article 53 of the Treaty . . . to restore the proper functioning of the machinery established by the Treaty under Chapter VI, requiring compliance with the provisions concerning the common supply policy, etc.;(b) that the Commission immediately undertake an investigation and thereafter take action accordingly - to determine how it was possibile that, without any check by it under Article 66 of the Treaty, the Community users freely obtain supplies of uranium  on foreign markets, despite the availability at a reasonable price of the entire output of the ENU . . . and that the Commission, either directly or through the Agency, warn the offending undertakings that it will take action against them if they effect  further imports whilst the ENU output remains on sale;(c) that the Commission discuss . . . with the ENU the amount of the fair compensation which must be paid to the ENU for the damage caused to it by the unlawful failure on the part of the Commission and the Supply Agency to exercise their Community  powers;(d) to require compliance with the Commission's decision, which was not complied with by the Supply Agency, and to direct that the Agency urgently adopt a ""special course of action"" so as to achieve an immediate resolution of the problem regarding the  disposal of the ENU's uranium and to support it in that regard;(e) that the Commission therefore direct the Agency to implement the Decision which it addressed to it, by finding a satisfactory solution to the problem of the ENU, without prejudice to the application of the provisions of the Treaty, in a manner which  will make it possible to lessen the effects of any future difficulties.'(4) By written application addressed to the Registrar on 3 April 1991 (1), the ENU brought proceedings pursuant to Article 148 of the EAEC Treaty for failure to act (Case C-107/91), claiming that the Court should declare:'that the Commission has failed to take and address to it the Decision which it had requested of it pursuant to Article 53 of the EAEC Treaty.'(5) In its judgment of 16 February 1993 (2) the Court found that:'The Commission has failed, contrary to the second paragraph of Article 53 of the EAEC Treaty, to give a decision in respect of the request submitted to it by the applicant under that provision.'II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT  (6) Pursuant to Article 149 of the EAEC Treaty, the Commission is required to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the Court.(a) Point (a) of the ENU's application(7) The machinery established by Chapter VI of the EAEC Treaty, such as the European Supply Agency's right of option and its exclusive right to conclude supply contracts, has never been repealed. The procedure provided for in the rules of the Euratom  Supply Agency of 5 May 1960 determining the manner in which demand is to be balanced against the supply of ores, source materials and special fissile materials (3), as amended by the Regulation of the Euratom Supply Agency of 15 July 1975 (4), adopted  under the sixth paragraph of Article 60 of the EAEC Treaty, provides a mechanism for balancing supply and demand. These rules take account of the prevailing conditions of supply and provide for the Agency to exercise its rights to conclude contracts and  its right of option by signing contracts negotiated directly between users and producers.It is therefore necessary to state in reply to point (a) of the ENU's application that the proper functioning of the machinery established by Chapter VI of the EAEC Treaty is ensured by the abovementioned rules of the Euratom Supply Agency.(b) Point (b) of the ENU's application(8) Article 5a of the rules of the Euratom Supply Agency of 5 May 1960 authorizes Community users to negotiate with the producers of their choice, both within the Community and outside, without the EAEC Treaty or the abovementioned rules laying down a  'Community preference'.(9) Article 66 of the EAEC Treaty does not apply in the present case. It covers only crisis situations in which the Agency is not in a position to supply users except at excessively high prices, with the consequence that users may, under certain  conditions, be granted the right to obtain supplies from outside the Community without any intervention whatsoever for the Agency.It should be noted that the ENU's tenders were at prices which were too high to be competitive and that no Community user accepted them.(10) No action should therefore be taken against Community users who obtain supplies from outside the Community and submit their contracts to the Agency for signature for the purpose of their conclusion.(c) Point (c) of the ENU's application(11) A claim for damages is the subject of an action for compensation which was brought before the Court by a written application to the Registrar on 20 October 1992 (Case C-380/92) (5), pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 188 and Article 151 of  the EAEC Treaty and which is pending.(d) Points (d) and (e) of the ENU's application(12) Points (d) and (e) of the ENU's application both concern the 'special course of action' for the disposal of the Portuguese production and should be dealt with jointly.The 'special course of action' which, according to the letter of 8 December 1989 from the Member of the Commission responsible for the Supply Agency, should be included in the common supply policy for nuclear fuels should form part of the framework of  the EAEC Treaty and the applicable rules. As stated above, the applicable rules authorize Community users to negotiate with the producers of their choice. Neither the EAEC Treaty nor the secondary legislation provide for 'Community preference', and the  Agency is therefore not required to order Community users to obtain supplies from Community producers before they can conclude supply contracts with non-Community suppliers.Against this background, the 'special course of action' can only consist of serious and sustained efforts on the part of the Supply Agency to encourage Community users to obtain supplies from the ENU. The Agency has undeniably been doing this since  1987,. The requests submitted by the Empresa Nacional de Urânio in its letter of 21 December 1990 are rejected.

16042,"97/209/EC: Council Decision of 17 March 1997 authorizing the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 9 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;Whereas, by letter to the Commission registered on 30 September 1996, the Kingdom of the Netherlands requested authorization to introduce a measure derogating from Article 9 of Directive 77/388/EEC;Whereas the other Member States were informed on 20 December 1996 of the request made by the Kingdom of the Netherlands;Whereas the measure is necessary to counter the tax avoidance effects that have led a growing number of Community taxable and non-taxable persons to purchase telecommunications services outside the Community in order to avoid payment of VAT; whereas the measure is furthermore necessary to discourage suppliers of telecommunications services established in a Member State from establishing themselves outside the Community;Whereas the measure is also necessary to simplify the procedure for charging the tax insofar as it provides the same tax obligations for customers of telecommunications services regardless of whether these services are performed by suppliers established inside or outside the Community;Whereas the derogations will not affect, except to a negligible extent, the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage and will not therefore have an adverse effect on the European Communities' own resources arising from value-added tax;Whereas it is necessary to grant this measure from 1 January 1997 in order to remedy as quickly as possible a situation undermining the competitiveness of European telecommunications companies; whereas from 1 January 1997 the customers and the suppliers of telecommunications services had no longer a legitimate confidence in the continuation of the legislation in force at that date;Whereas it is desirable that the derogation should be granted until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date, in order to allow the Council to adopt a general Community solution based on the Commission proposal,. By way of derogation from Article 9 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is authorized to include, within Article 9 (2) (e) of the Directive, telecommunications services. In the case of a Member State making use of this facility, the provisions of Article 9 (3) (b) of the Directive shall also apply to these services.Telecommunications services shall be deemed to be services relating to the transmission, emission or reception of signals, writing, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems, including the transfer or assignment of the right to use capacity for such transmission, emission or reception. This Decision may be applied to telecommunications services in respect of which the chargeable event took place from 1 January 1997. It will also apply to prepayments made in respect of telecommunications services paid for before the date of implementation of this Decision by the Member State insofar as these prepayments cover supplies of telecommunications services which are performed after the date of implementation. The authorization specified in this Decision shall apply until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date.

17361,"98/194/EC: Commission Decision of 1 October 1997 concerning the extension of the 8 % investment premium for investment projects in the new Länder pursuant to the Finance Law 1996 (Only the German text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular to Articles 92 and 93 thereof,Having given the other Member States and interested parties, pursuant to Article 93(2) of the EC Treaty, a period in which to submit their comments,Having regard to the comments submitted,Whereas:IBy decision dated 11 November 1992 (1), the Commission authorized an 8 % investment premium for investment projects in the new Länder begun before 1 July 1994 and completed before the end of 1996. The aid intensity of 8 % gross (approximately 5,2 % net) relates exclusively to the cost of acquiring assets for fixed investment.The investment premium is granted direct by Federal law, so that every undertaking which fulfils the statutory requirements can claim the premium without the authorities having to take a discretionary decision. The premium consists of a reduction of corporation tax and can result in a negative tax claim by the State, so that instead of a tax reduction the recipient undertaking receives a sum of money.Article 3 of the Investment Premium Law 1993 (InvZulG) was amended by Article 18(1) of the Finance Law 1996 (2) to the effect that the 8 % premium is now granted to investments which were begun after 31 December 1992 but before 1 July 1994 and which will be concluded before 1 January 1999. This extended the time-limit for the implementation of assisted investment projects by two years, but did not change the provisions governing the start of the investment. The Finance Law 1996 came into force on 1 January 1996. By letter dated 17 November 1995, the Federal Ministry of Finance informed the Länder tax authorities that the said provision must not be applied before the Commission has approved the aid pursuant to Articles 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty. The letter was published in the Federal Tax Gazette (Bundessteuerblatt) 1996, Series I, No 1.IIThe Commission was informed of the amendment to the Investment Premium Law in a communication dated 19 December 1995, i.e. six working days before the entry into force of the Finance Law 1996; the amendment was therefore registered as a non-notified aid (NN 6/96).On 3 July 1996 the Commission decided, because the period in which the 8 % investment premium may be claimed was being extended, to initiate the procedure under Article 93(2) of the EC Treaty. Its reason for so doing was that the extension constituted additional State aid for investment projects which were begun before 1 July 1994 and which will be completed in 1997 and 1998, since no extra investment compared with the original situation was being promoted. The measure would therefore not assist any new investment projects which could contribute to the regional economic development of the former GDR.Consequently, the aid would only boost the equity of the undertakings which before July 1994 had begun to invest in the new Länder; it would accordingly have to be regarded as operating aid, which, as the Commission has consistently held, is compatible with the common market only if certain conditions are met and the aid serves exclusively to assist the economic development of areas in accordance with Article 92(3)(a) of the EC Treaty. The Commission took the view, however, that the aid could also stimulate economic development outside these assisted areas, with the result that the question was whether the aid could exceptionally be declared compatible with the common market.Germany was informed by letter dated 31 July 1996 (3) of the initiation of the procedure and, like the other Member States and interested parties, was invited by publication of that letter in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4) to submit its comments.Germany submitted its comments by letter dated 9 September 1996, and the French undertaking Elf Aquitaine SA (Elf) by letter dated 29 October 1996. On 30 October 1996, the French Government gave its views making reference to Elf's submission. It is clear from Elf's comments that the measure in question relates to investment by the Elf subsidiary Mitteldeutsche Erdöl-Raffinerie (MIDER), which is building a new refinery at Leuna in Saxony-Anhalt. As a result of unforeseen technical difficulties, which the undertaking says it is not responsible for, the investment has been delayed. Without the proposed extension of the time-limit, the investment premium for the entire project could not be claimed, which would put MIDER at a considerable economic disadvantage.The letters from Elf and the French Government were forwarded for comment to the Federal Republic of Germany by letter dated 26 November 1996.Between December 1996 and July 1997 the matter was discussed at several meetings between the German authorities and the Commission's departments.IIIIn Germany's view, the extension of the time-limit for investment projects for which the 8 % investment premium can be claimed is compatible with the common market. The extension will avert a reduction of investment aid for large projects where delays have occurred on account of the particular circumstances in eastern Germany. In this way, the equity of undertakings investing in the new Länder will be increased, thus contributing to their economic stability. According to Germany, it is not known how many cases are affected by the general extension of the time-limit for claiming the investment premium. Basically, the extension applies to all investment projects which were begun after 31 December 1992 and before 1 July 1994 and which had not been completed by the end of 1996.In the MIDER/Leuna 2000 case, which the competent authorities had in mind when they proposed the said provision, the undertaking could not conclude the investment project in time by the end of 1996 on account of unforeseeable technical and administrative problems for which the undertaking could not be held responsible. The total aid package for the Leuna 2000 refinery would have been some DEM 360 million lower than had been accepted when the privatisation agreement was concluded. For legal reasons, it was not possible to pass a Federal law just for the MIDER case. The Federal Government, however, declared its readiness to apply the Investment Premium Law as amended by the Finance Law 1996 to MIDER only and to notify individually any further cases to which the amendment would apply.IVThe investment premium is State aid within the meaning of Article 92(1) of the EC Treaty and Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.The extension of the time-limit for investment projects in respect of which an 8 % premium can be requested from 2 >NUM>1/>DEN>2to 4 years to 4 >NUM>1/>DEN>2to 6 years constitutes additional State aid.How many investment projects might be covered by the general extension of the time-limit is not known. Basically, the new time-limits apply to all investment projects which were begun after 31 December 1992 and before 1 July 1994 and which had not been concluded by the end of 1996.Undertakings which began investment projects between January 1993 and June 1994 took their decision in the full knowledge that projects which were not completed by the end of 1996 either would not qualify at all for the investment premium, since the finished part would not be regarded as a complete but smaller than planned investment, or, if the part completed in time is treated as a full investment, albeit smaller than planned, would qualify only to a certain extent. The particular problems which prevent the swift implementation of complex investment projects on the territory of the former GDR, such as organisational difficulties of regional and local authorities, possible environmental burdens and problems arising from the rules on the restitution of immovable property in the new Länder, were known and were the subject of comprehensive discussions before July 1994. Investment projects which were begun in the full knowledge that they could not be concluded in time and in respect of which the investment premium cannot therefore be claimed would nevertheless now be eligible for assistance, thus generating a windfall profit for undertakings which had originally calculated their investment in such a way that it would have been profitable even without such aid.Undertakings which have taken investment decisions regarding the 8 % investment premium without allowing time for investment-related risks have accepted investment aid which turns out to be potentially lower than if they had met the requirements laid down in the Investment Premium Law 1993, and despite those risks have regarded their investment as profitable. The extension of the time-limit does not generate any extra investment and will probably have no effect on the termination of investment projects already begun.Aid which does not stimulate any additional investment cannot be regarded as investment aid. State aid which, accordingly, constitutes only an additional payment that should not have been taken into account or which, according to the rules on regional investment aid applying at the time of the investment decision, was uncertain is to be regarded as operating aid for increasing the equity of the undertaking concerned, as was already explained by Germany before the initiation of the procedure in its communication of 19 December 1995.In its Communication on the method for the application of Article 92(3)(a) and (c) of the EC Treaty to regional aid (5), the Commission explained that operating aid, despite the fact that it is such as seriously to distort competition, may exceptionally be regarded in assisted areas as compatible with the common market in accordance with Article 92(3)(a), if it is necessary for the maintenance of the operation of existing plant. These considerations, however, do not apply to those undertakings which would benefit from the measure in question. Such undertakings decided before July 1994, with regard to the regional investment aid available under the law applicable at the time, to invest in the new Länder. Their investments were calculated in such a way that they would be achievable and show a steady profit without operating aid. There are therefore no extraordinary circumstances which would justify de facto operating aid in the form of an extension of the time-limit for claiming the 8 % investment premium as a contribution to the regional development of the disadvantaged regions.This de facto operating aid would, moreover, not only stimulate the economy in eastern Germany. Undertakings which meet the conditions may also maintain plant elsewhere and could thus use the aid to finance activities outside eastern Germany.The aid in question does not contribute, therefore, to the achievement of one of the objectives referred to in Article 92(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty, which the recipient undertakings under normal market conditions could not achieve either by their own efforts or with the help of existing approved State aid. The investment decisions were taken in the knowledge that the aid in question cannot be claimed if the time-limits are not observed. Aid which does not contribute to the achievement of one of the objectives recognised as justification for the exceptional approval of measures which distort competition cannot be regarded as compatible with the proper functioning of the common market (6).The Federal Government's proposal to apply the amendment of the Investment Premium Law 1993 made by the Finance Law 1996 only to MIDER/Elf Aquitaine and to notify further cases individually in advance does not alter the assessment. The Finance Law is a law passed by the Bundestag which may be relied on directly by any undertaking which meets the general assistance conditions. The number of potential recipients cannot be determined with certainty.The scope of the relevant provision of the Finance Law 1996 is not limited to the case of MIDER/Elf Aquitaine. There is no provision stating that it is up to the authorities to decide whether the premium will be granted. The commitment offered by Germany cannot effectively be made, since the Federal Government cannot declare a law passed by the Bundestag to be inapplicable or applicable on certain conditions. The authorities do not have the power to apply the relevant provision only in individual cases where it seems reasonable to them to do so. The relevant provision is therefore to be assessed with regard to all potential cases of application and not just to the MIDER case.The above comments, however, are without prejudice to a possible individual notification by Germany of particular measures modifying the aid package for MIDER's investment in eastern Germany. Such an amendment would be examined by the Commission with regard to the special circumstances of this particular investment and the positive decision of the Commission on this project (7).VIn conclusion, therefore, the Commission finds that the aid in question does not contribute to the promotion of additional investment in the new Länder and is not necessary for the maintenance of existing economic activities in them. As a result, the aid does not contribute to the achievement of one of the objectives referred to in Article 92(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty and is not compatible therefore with the proper functioning of the common market.The aid scheme was wrongly brought into force on 1 January 1996 without prior approval by the Commission. The Commission has noted that Germany has instructed the authorities in the new Länder to apply the Law only after it has been approved by the Commission. This communication, however, cannot be opposed to the direct application of a Federal law which gives all potential recipients who meet the conditions a legal claim, without a discretionary decision by the authorities being necessary,. Article 18(1) of the Finance Law 1996, which amends Article 3 of the Investment Premium Law 1993 to the effect that the 8 % investment premium is now granted for investment projects which were begun after 31 December 1992 and before 1 July 1994 and are completed before 1 January 1999 (instead of before 1 January 1997), introduces new, additional State aid for undertakings which have made investments in the new Länder. This aid is unlawful, since it was put into effect in disregard of Article 93(3) of the EC Treaty. The aid is incompatible with the common market, since it does not contribute to the achievement of one of the objectives referred to in Article 92(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty. Article 18(1) of the Finance Law 1996 shall be repealed. Germany shall recover all aid which was granted pursuant to this provision. The aid shall be repaid in accordance with the procedures and provisions of German law with interest running from the date of grant of the aid calculated on the basis of the rate serving as the reference interest rate used in assessing regional aid programmes. Germany shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measures it has taken to comply herewith. This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany..

5642,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 255/2013 of 20 March 2013 amending, for the purposes of adaptation to scientific and technical progress, Annexes IC, VII and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on shipments of waste  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (1), and in particular Article 58(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 specifies under which conditions the shipment of wastes listed in either Annex IIIA or IIIB to that Regulation is subject to the procedure of prior written notification and consent. The submission of a notification requires completion of the notification and movement documents as set out in Annexes IA and IB to that Regulation. Wastes listed in Annex IIIA, IIIB or IVA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 can be identified in Block 14 of Annex IA or Annex IB, under subheading (vi) ‘Other (specify)’. Annex IC to that Regulation, providing specific instructions for completing either Annex IA or IB needs to be amended in order to clarify how those wastes should be indicated in Annex IA or IB.(2) Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 also specifies under which conditions wastes listed in Annexes IIIA and IIIB to that Regulation need to be accompanied by the document contained in Annex VII to that Regulation when these wastes are intended for shipment. As Block 10 of Annex VII does not provide the option to identify wastes listed in Annexes IIIA and IIIB, such wastes cannot be properly identified in Annex VII. The inclusion of wastes in Annexes IIIA and IIIB necessitates the expansion of the options listed in Block 10 of Annex VII.(3) At the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal which took place from 17 to 21 October 2011, technical guidelines and guidance documents on environmentally sound management were adopted. Following their adoptions, Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 needs to be updated accordingly.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (2),. Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 is amended as follows:(1) Annex IC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;(2) Annex VII is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation;(3) Annex VIII is replaced by the text set out in Annex III to this Regulation.

5177,"87/443/EEC: Commission Decision of 30 July 1987 amending an undertaking and accepting an undertaking given in connection with the anti-dumping review investigation concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Poland and the USSR respectively, and terminating the investigation as it concerns these countries. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Articles 10 and 14 thereof,After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,Whereas:A. Procedure(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2786/83 (3) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia and the USSR and, by Decision 83/502/EEC (4), the Commission accepted an undertaking from on Czech exporter of copper sulphate. This undertaking was subsequently amended and accepted by Decision 84/408/EEC (5).Subsequently the Commission accepted, by Regulation (EEC) No 2908/84 (6), an undertaking offered inter alia by the Hungarian exporter of copper sulphate and, by Decision 85/104/EEC (7), an undertaking offered by the Polish exporter of that product.(2) In 1986, the Commission received a request for review of the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR lodged by the European Federation of Chemical Manufacturers Associations representing a major proportion of Community output of copper sulphate. This review request contained evidence of changed circumstances sufficient to justify the need for review and accordingly the Commission announced, by a Notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (8), the opening of a review investigation concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR, falling wihtin subheading ex 28.38 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, and corresponding to NIMEXE code 28.38-27.(3) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, and the Community producers, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.Most exporters concerned, some importers and all complainant Community producers made their views known in writing and requested and were granted hearings.No submissions were made by or on behalf of Community purchasers or processors of the product.(4) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:- EEC producers:- La Cornubia, SA, Bordeaux, France,- NV Metallo-chimique, Beerse, Belgium,- Manica Spa, Rovereto, Italy.The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from all complainant Community producers, most exporters and some importers, and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary.The investigation of dumping covered the period January to July 1986 inclusive.B. Nomal Value(5) In order to establish whether there was renewed dumping of imports of copper sulphate form Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR, the Commission had to take account of the fact that these countries do not have market economies and the Commission therefore had to base its determinations on the normal value in a market-economy country. In this connection, the Community industry had suggested the United States of America as an appropriate analogue market. All United States producers of copper sulphate known to the Commission were, however, unwilling to cooperate in the investigation. Some of the exporters concerned had objected to the use of the United States market, and one had suggested Thailand as being a more appropriate choice. Other exporters objected to the choice of Thailand arguing that the relatively small quantites produced in Thailand would result in high unit costs and commensurately higher prices. One exporter suggested the price acutally paid in the Community as an alternative basis for determining normal value.(6) Following enquiries by the Commission, however, the results of which were substantiated by investigation at the permises of two Thai producers of copper sulphate, it was established that there were no extraordinary differences between Thai production processes and those of the exporting countries concerned. In addition, price levels in Thailand were somewhat lower than those in the Community and those alleged to exist in the United States, and, despite the relatively low quantites produced, were in reasonable proportion to production costs.The Commission therefore concluded that it would be appropriate and not unreasonable to determine normal value on the basis of domestic prices in Thailand. Indeed, if Thailand cannot be ruled out as an analogue country then it is not legally appropriate to use Community prices as the basis for normal value.The normal value thus established for the reference period was higher than that established during the previous investigations relating to the exporting countries concerned, the most significant factor having been the effect on prices of an increase in the cost of copper, which comprises the major element in the production costs of copper sulphate. This increase, together with increases in the Community producers' fixed costs, considerably outweighed the beneficial effects on these producer's costs of a reduction in the cost of energy.C. Export price(7) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.D. Comparison(8) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability. In particular, account was taken of differences in purity and copper content, sufficient evidence of which was supplied by the Polish and USSR exporters.In all comparisons, account was taken of differences in conditions and terms of payment, and adjustment was made, where appropriate, to allow export prices and normal values to be on a comparable basis in this respect.E. Margins(9) The above preliminary examination of the facts showed the existence of dumping in respect of imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeded the prices for export to the Community. These margins varied according to the exporter concerned and, expressed as a percentage of total cif values for each of the exporters investigated, were as follows:- Czechoslovakia: 25,6 %,- Hungary: 45,5 %,- Poland: 44,1 %,- USSR: 47,9 %.F. Injury(10) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community from Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR of copper sulphate have, on a cumulative basis, remained relatively stable between 1982 and 1986 and have accordingly retained a share of around 16 % of a market in which consumption in the Community has also been fairly stable.(11) This situation should be considered in the light of the effect of the anti-dumping measures imposed between 1983 and 1985 on imports of copper sulphate originating in, inter alia, the four countries concerned in this proceeding. The evidence available to the Commission indicated that, while the imposition of anti-dumping measures may have had an initial downward effect on the sales volumes in the Community of the individual country or countries concerned, these volumes had, at least to some degree, recovered by the reference period.(12) In addition, since the imposition of the existing anti-dumping measures relating to imports from the countries concerned, costs in the Community, particularly for copper, have increased significantly (see point 6). Thus, despite the imposition of these measures, the exporters concerned have been able to undercut significantly the prices of the Community producers. During the reference period, this undercutting reached levels of around 25 % after anti-dumping duty, and involved prices which were lower than those required to cover the costs of Community producers and provide a reasonable profit.(13) The consequent impact on the Community industry has been that its sales in the Community have remained at approximately the same level from 1982 to 1986. This has meant a continuation of low capacity utilization levels which remained, on average, at 40 % during this period. The resultant high unit costs, combined with the depressive effect of the prices of the dumped imports, have led, for the complainant producers, to continued losses or the inability to obtain a reasonable return on sales in the Community market, which accounts for almost 90 % of their total sales of copper sulphate.Furthermore, two Community producers have ceased production of copper sulphate since 1983, at least partially as a result of the impact of the dumped imports. These closures have led to a reduction in employment in the manufacture of copper sulphate in the Community.(14) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as reduction in the complainant's sales to third countries, a fall in demand in the Community, or an increase in imports originating in countries other than those concerned in the present proceeding.The complainant's sales to third countries remained stable between 1982 and 1986 at around 10 % of total sales. Community consumption has also remained relatively stable during this period. As regards imports from countries other than the four concerned, anti-dumping measures were taken in 1984 (1) concerning Bulgarian copper sulphate and, concerning the Yugoslav product, most recently in 1985 (2). Since these measures were taken, the volumes imported from these countries have fallen and imports from other countries have remained, as a whole, at approximately the same levels.Thus, the volume of dumped imports from the four countries concerned and the prices at which they were sold in the Community during the reference period has led the Commission to determine that the effects of the dumped imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR, taken in isolation, have to be considered as causing material injury to the Community industry concerned.G. Community interest(15) In view of the serious difficulties facing the Community industry, and in particular the fact that two Community producers have ceased production since 1983, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken.H. Undertakings and termination(16) The Polish and USSR exporters concerned, having been informed of the main findings of the review investigation, offered undertakings, amended in the case of the Polish exporter, concerning their exports of copper sulphate to the Community. The effect of the said undertakings will be to increase export prices to the Community to the level which the Commission, having taken into account, on the one hand, the selling price necessary to provide anadequate return to Community producers and, on the other hand, the purchase price to the Community importers and their costs and profit margin, considers necessary to eliminate injury. This increase does not exceed in either instance the dumping margin found in the investigation for each of the exporting countries concerned.In these circumstances, the amended Polish undertaking and the USSR undertaking offered are considered acceptable and the investigation may, therefore, be terminated as regards imports form these countries without imposition of anti-dumping duties.I. Duty(17) The Czech and Hungarian exporters concerned, having been informed of the main findings of the review investigation, did not offer to amend undertakings in a manner which would eliminate the injury caused by the dumped imports. Accordingly, the Commission hereby withdraws its acceptance of these two undertakings and the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 2512/87 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities of even date with the publication hereof (1), has imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia and Hungary.No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,. 1. The amended undertaking offered by Ciech Import and Export of Chemicals Ltd, Warsaw, and the undertaking offered by Sojuzchimexport, Moscow, in connection with the anti-dumping review investigation concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the USSR, falling wihin subheading ex 28.38 A II of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 28.38-27, are hereby accepted.2. The acceptance of the undertakings offered by Chemapol Foreign Trade Company Ltd, Prague, and Chemolimpex, Budapest referred to in Decision 84/408/EEC and Decision 104/85/EEC respectively, is hereby withdrawn. The anti-dumping review investigation referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated in so far as it concerns imports of copper sulphate originating in Poland and the USSR..

15430,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 899/96 of 20 May 1996 establishing the quantities to be allocated to importers from the Community quantitative quotas redistributed by Regulation (EC) No 612/96. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/96 of 3 April 1996 redistributing the unused portions of the 1995 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China (3), and in particular Article 6 thereof,Whereas Regulation (EC) No 612/96 established the portion of each of the quotas concerned reserved for traditional and other importers and the conditions and methods for participating in the allocation of the quantities available; whereas importers lodged applications for import licences with the competent national authorities between 5 April and 3 p. m., Brussels time, on 26 April 1996, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 612/96;Whereas the Commission has received from the Member States under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 612/96 particulars of the numbers and aggregate volume of import licence applications submitted and the total volume imported by traditional importers in 1992 and 1994, the reference years;Whereas the Commission is now able, on the basis of that information, to establish uniform quantitative criteria by which the competent national authorities may satisfy licence applications submitted by importers in the Member States for the quantitative quotas redistributed by Regulation (EC) No 612/96;Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 725/96 of 22 April 1996, amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 519/94 on common rules for imports from certain third countries (4), repealed the quantitative quotas for gloves falling within HS/CN codes 4203 29 91 and 4203 29 99 and for car radios falling within HS/CN codes 8527 21 and 8527 29; whereas the allocation in respect of those products is therefore no longer necessary;Whereas Regulation (EC) No 752/96 also combined in a single quota the three quotas for toys falling within HS/CN codes 9503 41, 9503 49 and 9503 90 respectively; whereas temporarily, however, for reasons of administrative simplification, it is appropriate to establish separately, for each of the three categories of toys, uniform quantitative criteria by which licence applications may be satisfied; whereas each licence issued for one of these three categories of toys may also be used for the other categories;Whereas examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by traditional importers for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them; whereas the applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex I to the average, expressed in value or volume terms, of each importer's imports over the reference period;Whereas examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by non-traditional importers for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them; whereas the applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex II to the amounts requested by each importer, as limited by Regulation (EC) No 612/96;Whereas examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the total applications submitted by non-traditional importers for products listed in Annex III to this Regulation amount to less than the portion of the quota set aside for them; whereas those applications should therefore be met in full, up to the maximum amount that can be requested by each importer under Regulation (EC) No 612/96,. In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex I duly submitted by traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to this average imports for 1992 and 1994 adjusted by the rate of reduction/increase specified in the said Annex for each quota.Where the use of this quantitative criterion would entail allocating an amount greater than that applied for, the quantity or value allocated shall be limited to that specified in the application. In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex II duly submitted by non-traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to the amount requested within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 612/96, adjusted by the rate of reduction specified in the said Annex for each quota. Licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex III duly submitted by non-traditional importers shall be met in full by the competent national authorities, within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 612/96.

40017,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 705/2011 of 20 July 2011 approving the active substance imazalil, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 of 27 June 2007 on laying down the procedure of the renewal of the inclusion of a first group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. Imazalil is listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 737/2007.(2) The approval of imazalil, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (4), expires on 31 December 2011. A notification was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 for the renewal of the inclusion of imazalil in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within the time period provided for in that Article.(3) That notification was found to be admissible by Commission Decision 2008/656/EC of 28 July 2008 on the admissibility of the notifications concerning the renewal of the inclusion in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances azimsulfuron, azoxystrobin, fluroxypyr, imazalil, kresoxim-methyl, prohexadione and spiroxamine, and establishing the list of the notifiers concerned (5).(4) Within the time period provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007, the notifier submitted the data required in accordance with that Article together with an explanation as regards the relevance of each new study submitted.(5) The rapporteur Member State prepared an assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 9 June 2009. In addition to the assessment of the active substance, that report includes a list of the studies the rapporteur Member State relied on for its assessment.(6) The Authority communicated the assessment report to the notifier and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the assessment report available to the public.(7) At the request of the Commission, the assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the Authority. The Authority presented its conclusion on the peer review of the risk assessment of imazalil (6) to the Commission on 4 March 2010. The assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for imazalil.(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing imazalil may be expected to continue to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve imazalil.(9) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions not provided for in the first inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) Based on the review report which supports a lower level of purity compared to that set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, and taking into account that no toxicologically or ecotoxicologically significant impurities are present, the purity level should be modified.(11) From the new data submitted, it appears that imazalil and its degradation products in soil and surface water systems may cause risks for soil micro-organisms and aquatic organisms; negligible groundwater exposure needs to be confirmed; further investigation is needed on the nature of residues in processed commodities. Without prejudice to the conclusion that imazalil should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.(12) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(13) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing imazalil. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(14) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(15) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.(16) In the interest of clarity, Commission Directive 2010/57/EU of 26 August 2010 amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC to renew the inclusion of imazalil as active substance (8) should be repealed.(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,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance imazalil, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing imazalil as an active substance by 30 June 2012.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing imazalil as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing imazalil as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing imazalil as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest. Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

PREVIOUS PROCEDURE(1) On 19 November 1998, an anti-dumping proceeding was initiated by the Commission(2) on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel (""the product concerned"") originating, inter alia, in Ukraine.(2) This proceeding resulted in an anti-dumping duty being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 348/2000(3) in February 2000 in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.(3) In parallel, by Decision 2000/137/EC(4), the Commission accepted a joint price undertaking up to a certain volume threshold incorporating measures aimed at monitoring the undertaking from three Ukrainian exporting producers, Dnepropetrovsk Tube Works (""DTW""), Nikopol Pivdennotrubny Works (transferred later to Nikopolsky Seamless Tube Plant, ""Niko Tube""(5)) and Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant (""NTRP""). Accordingly, imports of the product concerned from these exporting producers were exempted from the said anti-dumping duty.B.

2656,"2000/91/EC: Council Decision of 24 January 2000 authorising the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Sweden to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 of the Sixth Council Directive (77/338/EEC) on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1997 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) under Article 27(1) of Directive 77/388/EEC the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce or extend special measures derogating from the provisions of the Directive to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;(2) the Governments of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Sweden have requested authorisation to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 of Directive 77/388/EEC;(3) the other Member States were informed of the requests from the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Sweden on 3 September 1999;(4) these requests relate to the VAT arrangements applying to the operation of the Öresund fixed link between Denmark and Sweden, and in particular to the recovery of VAT paid on tolls for the use of the link. Under the rules of territoriality, part of the VAT on tolls is payable to the Kingdom of Denmark and part to the Kingdom of Sweden;(5) in derogation from the provisions of Article 17, as amended by Article 28f, requiring taxable persons to exercise their right to deduct or obtain a refund of VAT in the Member State where it was paid, the Swedish and Danish authorities intend to introduce a special measure enabling taxpayers to recover VAT from a single administration;(6) the intended measure fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 27 of Directive 77/388/EEC by virtue of its limited scope and the fact that it is intended to simplify matters;(7) on 17 June 1998 the Commission presented a proposal for a Council Directive(2) amending Directive 77/388/EEC as regards the rules governing the right to deduct value added tax, adoption of which would render the special measures unnecessary in the majority of cases, which involve taxable persons established in the Community;(8) authorisation should therefore be granted until the new Directive enters into force. However, the authorisation shall expire on 31 December 2002 at the latest if the Directive has not entered into force on that date, thereby enabling the need for the derogation to be reviewed at that time in the light of the Council's discussions on the said proposal for a Directive;(9) the derogation does not adversely affect the own resources derived by the European Communities from value added tax,. By way of derogation from Article 17(2), (3) and (4) of the Directive 77/388/EEC, as amended by Article 28f thereof, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Denmark are hereby authorised to apply the following procedure for the recovery of VAT on tolls paid for the use of the Öresund fixed link between the two countries:- taxable persons established in Denmark may exercise their right to deduct that VAT paid when using the part of the link located on Swedish territory by entering it in the periodic returns to be lodged in Denmark;- taxable persons established in Sweden may exercise their right to deduct the VAT paid when using the part of the link located on Danish territory by entring it in the periodic returns to be loged in Sweden;- taxable persons who are not established in either of the above Member States must apply to the Swedish authorities to obtain refunds of the VAT on tolls, including that paid for using the section of the link located on Danish territory under the procedure laid down in Directive 79/1072/EEC or Directive 86/650/EEC. This authorisation shall expire on the date of entry into force of Community rules determining the expenditure not eligible for the deduction of value added tax, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 17(6) of Directive 77/388/EEC, and by 31 December 2002 at the latest.

19665,"2000/150/EC: Commission Decision of 22 February 2000 amending Decision 1999/788/EC on protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins of certain products of porcine and poultry origin intended for human or animal consumption (notified under document number C(2000) 490) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) The restrictions laid down by Commission Decision 1999/788/EC of 3 December 1999 on protective measures with regard to contamination by dioxins of cetain products of porcine and poultry origin intended for human or animal consumption(4) are not to apply to products which have been shown by analyses not to be contaminated by dioxins or which have been derived from animals slaughtered after 20 September 1999 or from eggs laid after that date.(2) The Belgian authorities have informed the Commission that, following the completion of an analytical programme, all Belgian poultry holdings are now certified by the Belgian authorities as not being contaminated by dioxins or PCB's. In addition, the eggs laid before 20 September 1999 and all the products derived therefrom have been identified and have been subjected to appropriate investigation, including analysis. Those investigations have been carried out with negative results since July 1999. Furthermore, the Belgian authorities have continued to carry out a number of surveillance programmes on the feed sector. The results of those programmes have not shown positive results linked to PCB and dioxin contamination in certain feed ingredients and compound feedingstuffs produced after 2 April 1999. The identification and investigation of all the stock of pigmeat, poultrymeat, and derived products derived from animals slaughtered before 20 September 1999 has not yet been completed.(3) In the light of the foregoing, it is appropriate to lift the restrictions on eggs and products derived thereform and on rendered fats, processed animal proteins, compound feedingstuffs and pre-mixtures. Decision 1999/788/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,. Decision 1999/788/EC is amended as follows.1. In Article 1(1), points (g) to (k) and point (m) are deleted.2. In Article 1(2)(b), the words ""or from eggs laid after that date"" are deleted.3. In Article 4(1), the words ""or from eggs laid before that date"" are deleted.4.

The criteria referred to in Article 6 of Regulations (EC) No 3281/94 and (EC) No 1256/96 are as follows:— a per capita gross national product exceeding US $ 8 210 for 1995 in accordance with the most recent World Bank figures,— a development index, calculated in accordance with the formula and on the basis of the figures given in Part 2 of Annex II to Regulations (EC) No 3281/94 and (EC) No 1256/96, greater than -1.These criteria shall be applicable cumulatively. The withdrawal of one country or territory from the list of countries and territories benefiting from generalized preferences by virtue of the criteria set out in Article 1 shall not affect the possibility of using products originating in that country under the regional cumulation mechanism applicable to regional groupings referred to in Article 72 (3) of Commission Regulation (EC) 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 (5), provided that the country has been a member of the regional grouping since the multiannual system of preferences applicable to the product concerned entered into force and is not considered to be the country of origin of the final product within the meaning of Article 72a of Regulation (EC) No 2454/93. Under the criteria listed in Article 1, the following countries and territory shall be withdrawn from the list of countries and territories benefiting from the generalized preferences set out in Annex III to Regulations (EC) No 3281/94 and (EC) No 1256/96:— Hong Kong,— Singapore,— South Korea.

With a view to eradicate avian influenza as rapidly as possible the Union should contribute financially to eligible expenditure borne by the Member States. Article 4(3), first and second indents, of that Decision identifies the percentage of Union financial contributions that can be paid to compensate the costs incurred by the Member States.(3) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2) sets rules on the expenditure eligible for Union financial support.(4) Commission Decision 2010/148/EU of 5 March 2010 on a financial contribution from the Union towards emergency measures to combat avian influenza in the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France and Italy in 2009 (3) provided for a financial contribution by the Union towards emergency measures to combat avian influenza, amongst others, in Spain in 2009.(5) Spain submitted an official request for reimbursement on 3 May 2010 as set out in Article 7(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(6) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 makes the payment of that financial contribution from the Union subject to the condition that the planned activities were actually implemented and that the authorities provided all the necessary information within the set deadlines.(7) An audit according to Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 carried out by the Commission’s services did reveal only minor financial issues.(8) Spain has thus to this point complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Article 3(4) of Decision 2009/470/EC and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(9) In view of the above considerations, a first tranche of the financial support from the Union to Spain to the eligible expenditure incurred in association with the eradication of avian influenza in 2009 should now be fixed.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/28/EC (OJ L 90, 8.4.2003, p. 45).ANNEX IANNEX IIINFRINGEMENTSFor the purposes of this Directive, the following non-exhaustive list, classified into three risk categories (Category I being the most serious), gives a guideline on what is to be regarded as infringement.The determination of the appropriate risk category must take account of the particular circumstances and be left to the discretion of the enforcing body/officer at the roadside.Failures that are not listed under the risk categories shall be classified according to the descriptions of the categories.In the event there are several infringements per transport unit, only the most serious risk category (as indicated under item 39 in Annex I to this Directive) shall be applied for reporting purposes (Annex III to this Directive).1.   Risk Category IWhere failure to comply with relevant ADR provisions creates a high-level risk of death, serious personal injury or significant damage to the environment such failures would normally lead to taking immediate and appropriate corrective measures such as immobilisation of the vehicle.Failures are:1. The dangerous goods being carried are prohibited for transport2. Leakage of dangerous substances3. Carriage by a prohibited mode or an inappropriate means of transport4. Carriage in bulk in a container which is not structurally serviceable5. Carriage in a vehicle without an appropriate certificate of approval6. Vehicle no longer complies with the approval standards and presents an immediate danger (otherwise it goes in risk category II)7. Non-approved packaging is used8. Packaging does not conform to the applicable packing instruction9. The special provisions for mixed packing have not been complied with10. The rules governing the securing and stowage of the load have not been complied with11. The rules governing mixed loading of packages have not been complied with12. The permissible degrees of filling of tanks or packages have not been complied with13. The provisions limiting the quantities carried in one transport unit have not been complied with14. Carriage of dangerous goods without any indication of their presence (e.g. documents, marking and labelling on the packages, placarding and marking on the vehicle)15. Carriage without any placarding and marking on the vehicle16. Information relevant to the substance being carried enabling determination of a risk category I offence is missing (e.g. UN number, proper shipping name, packing group)17. Driver does not hold a valid vocational training certificate18. Fire or an unprotected light is being used19. The ban on smoking is not being observed.2.   Risk Category IIWhere failure to comply with relevant ADR provisions creates a risk of personal injury or damage to the environment such failures would normally lead to taking appropriate corrective measures such as requiring rectification at the site of control if possible and appropriate, but at the completion of the current transport movement at the latest.Failures are:1. The transport unit comprises more than one trailer/semi-trailer2. Vehicle no longer complies with the approval standards but does not present an immediate danger3. The vehicle is not carrying operational fire extinguishers as required; a fire extinguisher can still be deemed operational if only the prescribed seal and/or the expiry date are missing; however, this does not apply if the fire extinguisher is visibly no longer operational, e.g. pressure gauge at 04. The vehicle does not carry the equipment required in the ADR or in the instructions in writing5. Test and inspection dates and use periods of packaging, IBCs or large packaging have not been complied with6. Packages with damaged packaging, IBCs or large packaging or damaged uncleaned empty packaging are being carried7. Carriage of packaged goods in a container which is not structurally serviceable8. Tanks/tank containers (including ones that are empty and uncleaned) have not been closed properly9. Carriage of a combination packaging with an outer packaging which is not closed properly10. Incorrect labelling, marking or placarding11. There are no instructions in writing conforming to the ADR, or the instructions in writing are not relevant to the goods carried12. The vehicle is not properly supervised or parked.3.   Risk Category IIIWhere failure to comply with relevant provisions result in a low level of risk of personal injury or damage to the environment and where appropriate corrective measures do not need to be taken at the roadside but can be addressed at a later date at the undertaking.Failures are:1. The size of placards or labels or the size of letters, figures or symbols on placards or labels does not comply with the regulations2. Information in the transport documentation other than that in risk category I/(16) is not available3. The training certificate is not on board the vehicle but there is evidence that the driver holds it.ANNEX IIIMODEL STANDARD FORM FOR THE REPORT TO BE SENT TO THE COMMISSION CONCERNING INFRINGEMENTS AND PENALTIES

36090,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 972/2008 of 3 October 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas and introducing a system of import licences and certificates of origin for garlic and certain other agricultural products imported from third countries. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 134 and 148 thereof in conjunction with Article 4,Whereas:(1) In accordance with Chapter II of Commission Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 (2), applications for ‘A’ licence have to be submitted in April, July, October and January of each year, and ‘A’ licences are only valid for the subperiod for which they have been issued.(2) According to an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Argentine Republic pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 for the modification of concessions with respect to garlic provided for in Schedule CXL annexed to the GATT (3), approved by Council Decision 2001/404/EC (4), the import tariff quota period for garlic should be divided into four subperiods.(3) In order to provide importers with more flexibility, the period in which they may lodge applications for ‘A’ licences should begin six weeks earlier.(4) In order to ensure that as much unused or partly used import licences as possible may be reallocated, the quantities, including nil returns, covered by unused or partly used import licences and corresponding to the difference between the quantities entered on the back of the import licences and the quantities for which they were issued should be notified by the end of November for the information available at that time. Later notifications only serve statistical purposes, so a single notification at the end of July would be sufficient for such quantities.(5) Under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1084/95 of 15 May 1995 abolishing the protective measure applicable to imports of garlic originating in Taiwan and replacing it with a certificate of origin (5) a certificate of origin is required for the import of garlic from Taiwan. It provides for a regime similar to that laid down in Chapter IV of Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 for garlic of certain other origins. In the interests of legislative simplification and readability, it is appropriate to list all countries to which an origin certificate for garlic is needed in one place. Taiwan should therefore be added to the list of countries in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 to which Chapter IV of that Regulation is applied. Regulation (EC) No 1084/95 should therefore be repealed.(6) Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 is amended as follows:1. paragraph 1 of Article 10 is replaced by the following:2. in Article 12(1), the first and the second subparagraphs are replaced by the following:(a) the end of November for the quantities on which information is available by that date, and(b) the end of July for the remainder of the quantities for the import tariff quota period in question.’;3. Annex IV is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1084/95 is hereby repealed. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 15 November 2008.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

35423,"Commission Directive 2008/75/EC of 24 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include carbon dioxide as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes carbon dioxide.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, carbon dioxide has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 14, rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) France was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 15 May 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 21 June 2007, in an assessment report, with a proposal to include carbon dioxide in Annex IA to Directive 98/8/EC, only for use in ready-for-use gas canisters functioning together with a trapping device.(5) An active substance listed in Annex IA should normally also be listed in Annex I. Inclusion in Annex I would cover those uses for which products may be expected to satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, but not those of low-risk products. Such is the case of certain biocidal products used as rodenticides and containing carbon dioxide. It is therefore appropriate to include carbon dioxide in Annex I for product-type 14, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as rodenticides and containing carbon dioxide can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) The assessment report was modified accordingly, and was reviewed by the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 29 November 2007.(7) The review of carbon dioxide did not reveal any open questions or concerns to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks.(8) The evaluation at the Community level was carried out for one specific use. In addition, in accordance with Article 8(5) of the Directive, some information was not submitted, and thus not assessed. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Community level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to mitigate the identified risks to acceptable levels.(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance carbon dioxide and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 14 containing carbon dioxide to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

The delegated act should notably establish rules for fixing the threshold values delimiting the field of survey, for establishing plans for the selection of holdings, for fixing the reference period for the standard outputs, for determining the general and principle types of farming and for determining the main groups of data on farm returns to be collected as well as the general rules to be followed in this respect.(3) The threshold values delimiting the field of survey should allow representative results for the field of survey to be obtained. The threshold values should maximise the benefit/cost ratio and be determined with the aim of including in the field of survey holdings that represent the largest possible share of agricultural output, agricultural area and farm labour, of those holdings which are run with a market orientation.(4) The selection plan should include a minimum number of elements which demonstrate how a representative sample is selected, thereby allowing the survey to meet the objectives of the farm accountancy data network.(5) The standard outputs are based on average data over a certain reference period. Their values should regularly be updated to take account of economic trends so that the typology may continue to be meaningfully applied. The frequency of the update should be linked to the years in which Union farm structure surveys are carried out.(6) The general and principal types of farming need to be arranged so as to enable homogeneous groups of holdings to be assembled in a greater or lesser degree of aggregation and that comparisons of the situation of groups of holdings can be made.(7) The data reported in the farm returns should make it possible to obtain a view of the returning holdings as regards the factors of production, to assess the level of farming income, and to reflect technical, economic and social conditions on the holdings involved. The main groups of accountancy data to be collected and the general rules for data collection should be determined for that purpose.(8) The rules provided for in this Regulation should apply as from the accounting year 2015 for the Farm Accountancy Data Network and for the Union farm structure surveys as of the 2016 survey,. Scope of applicationThis Regulation lays down rules supplementing certain non-essential elements of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 for the purpose of an annual determination of incomes and a business analysis of agricultural holdings by means of the Union farm accountancy data network. Those rules relate to:(a) the threshold referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009;(b) the plan referred to in Article 5a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009;(c) the ‘reference period’ referred to in Article 5b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009;(d) the types of farming referred to in Article 5b(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009;(e) the collection of accountancy data referred to in Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009. ThresholdThe threshold referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 shall ensure that the field of the survey represents the largest possible share of agricultural output, agricultural area and farm labour, of holdings run with a market orientation. Selection planThe plan for the selection of returning holdings to be drawn up by each Member State as referred to in Article 5a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, shall include elements to ensure that a representative accounting sample of the field of survey is obtained. In particular, the plan shall:(a) be based on the most recent statistical reference sources;(b) explain the procedure for stratifying the field of survey in accordance with the divisions listed in the Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 as well as in accordance with the types of farming and economic size classes as referred to in Article 5b(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009;(c) provide a breakdown of holdings in the field of survey by types of farming and economic size classes as referred to in Article 5b(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 which corresponds at least to the principal types;(d) indicate the statistical methods for determining the selection rate chosen for each stratum, the procedures for the selection of returning holdings, and the number of returning holdings to be selected for each of the strata adopted. Reference period for the standard outputFor the purposes of calculating standard outputs for the Union farm structure survey for year N, as referred to in Article 5b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, the reference period consists of the five successive years from year N-5 to year N-1.The standard outputs shall be determined using average basic data calculated over the reference period laid down in the first paragraph and commonly referred to as ‘N-3 standard outputs’. These N-3 standard outputs shall be updated to take account of economic trends at least each time a Union farm structure survey is carried out. General and principal types of farmingThe general and principal types of farming and the correspondence between them, referred to in Article 5b(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, are specified in Annex I to this Regulation. Farm returnThe main groups of accountancy data to be collected and the general rules for data collection referred to in Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 are specified in Annex II to this Regulation. RepealsRegulations (EC) No 1242/2008, (EU) No 1291/2009, and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 385/2012 are repealed with effect from 1 January 2015.However, for the Farm Accountancy Data Network, the Regulations referred to in the first paragraph shall continue to apply to accounting years preceding the accounting year 2015.Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 shall continue to apply to the Union farm structure surveys until the 2013 survey. Entry into forceThis Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from the accounting year 2015 for the Farm Accountancy Data Network and for the Union farm structure surveys as of the 2016 survey.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The device shall not increase the overall width of the vehicle and the main part of its outer surface shall not be more than 120 mm inboard from the outermost plane (maximum width) of the vehicle. Its forward end may be turned inwards on some vehicles in accordance with points 2.4.2 and 2.4.3. Its rearward end shall not be more than 30 mm inboard from the outermost edge of the rear tyres (excluding any bulging of the tyres close to the ground) over at least the rearmost 250 mm.2.2. The outer surface of the device shall be smooth, substantially flat or horizontally corrugated and so far as possible continuous from front to rear; adjacent parts may however overlap, provided that the overlapping edge faces rearwards or downwards, or a gap of not more than 25 mm measured longitudinally may be left, provided that the rearward part does not protrude outboard of the forward part; domed heads of bolts or rivets may protrude beyond the surface to a distance not exceeding 10 mm and other parts may protrude to the same extent provided that they are smooth and similarly rounded; all external edges and corners shall be rounded with a radius not less than 2,5 mm (tested as prescribed in Directive 74/483/EEC (2)).2.3. The device may consist of a continuous flat surface, or of one or more horizontal rails, or a combination of surface and rails; when rails are used, they shall be not more than 300 mm apart and not less than:— 50 mm high in the case of category N2 and O3 vehicles,— 100 mm high and essentially flat in the case of N3 and O4 vehicles. Combinations of surfaces and rails shall form a continuous side guard subject, however, to the provisions of point 2.2.2.4. The forward edge of the side guard shall be constructed as follows:2.4.1. Its position shall be:2.4.1.1. on a motor vehicle: not more than 300 mm to the rear of the transverse vertical plane tangential to the rearmost part of the tyre on the wheel immediately forward of the guard;2.4.1.2. on a drawbar trailer: not more than 500 mm to the rear of the plane defined in point 2.4.1.1;2.4.1.3. on a semi-trailer: not more than 250 mm to the rear of the transverse median plane of the support legs, if support legs are fitted, but in any case the distance of the front edge to the transverse plane passing through the centre of the kingpin in its rearmost position may not exceed 2,7 m.2.4.2. Where the forward edge lies in otherwise open space, the edge shall consist of a continuous vertical member extending over the whole height of the guard; the outer and forward faces of this member shall measure at least 50 mm rearward and be turned 100 mm inwards in the case of N2 and O3 and at least 100 mm rearwards and be turned 100 mm inwards in the case of N3 and O4.2.4.3. On a motor vehicle where the 300 mm-dimension referred to in point 2.4.1.1 falls within the cab, the guard shall be so constructed as to meet the cab panels and if necessary be turned in through an angle not exceeding 45o. A longitudinal gap of 100 mm shall be permitted between the forward edge and the cab panels in the case of suspended or tilt cabs. In this case, the provisions of point 2.4.2 are not applicable.2.4.4. On a motor vehicle where the 300 mm dimension referred to in point 2.4.1.1 falls behind the cab and the side guard is extended forward as indicated in point 2.4.3. as an option to the manufacturer, the provisions of point 2.4.3 must be met.2.5. The rearward edge of the side guard shall not be more than 300 mm forward of the transverse vertical plane tangential to the foremost part of the tyre on the wheel immediately to the rear; a continuous vertical member is not required on the rear edge.2.6. The lower edge of the side guard shall at no point be more than 550 mm above the ground.2.7. The upper edge of the guard shall not be more than 350 mm below that part of the structure of the vehicle, cut or contacted by a vertical plane tangential to the outer surface of the tyres, excluding any bulging close to the ground, except in the following cases:2.7.1. where the plane in point 2.7 does not cut the structure of the vehicle, the upper edge shall be level with the surface of the load-carrying platform, of 950 mm from the ground, whichever is the less;2.7.2. where the plane in point 2.7 cuts the structure of the vehicle at a level more than 1.3 m above the ground, then the upper edge of the side guard shall not be less than 950 mm above the ground;2.7.3. on a vehicle specially designed and constructed, and not merely adapted, for the carriage of a container or demountable body, the upper edge of the guard may be determined in accordance with points 2.7.1 and 2.7.2, the container or body being considered as part of the vehicle.2.8. Side guards shall be essentially rigid, securely mounted (they shall not be liable to loosening due to vibration in normal use of the vehicle) and, except as regards the parts listed in point 2.9, made of metal or any other suitable material.— 30 mm over the rearmost 250 mm of the guard, and— 150 mm over the remainder of the guard.2.8.1. The above requirement may be checked by means of calculations.2.9. Components permanently fixed to the vehicle, e.g. battery box, air tanks, fuel tanks, lamps, reflectors, spare wheels and tool boxes, may be incorporated in the side guard, provided that they meet the dimensional requirements of the Directive. As regards gaps, the requirements set out in point 2.2 shall apply.2.10. The side guard may not be used for the attachment of brake, air or hydraulic pipes.3.   By derogation from the above provisions, vehicles of the following types need comply only as indicated in each case:3.1.

38152,"Commission Directive 2010/50/EU of 10 August 2010 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include dazomet as an active substance in Annex I thereto  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes dazomet.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, dazomet has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.(3) Belgium was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission by 16 April 2007 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 11 March 2010, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing dazomet may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include dazomet in Annex I to that Directive.(6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at EU level. The EU level risk assessment addresses only professional use outdoors for the remedial treatment of wooden poles, such as transmission poles, by insertion of granules. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the EU level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing dazomet and used as wood preservatives to ensure that risks are reduced to an acceptable level in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto.(8) In particular, it is appropriate to require that products intended for industrial or professional use be used with appropriate personal protective equipment, unless it can be demonstrated that risks for industrial or professional users can be reduced by other means.(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance dazomet and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. Transposition1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 July 2011 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 August 2012.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.

In view of the disparities between Member States and the consequent risk of distortion of competition, Community measures are necessary in order to ensure market unity whilst abiding by the principle of proportionality.(5) The Scientific Committee on Food concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2001 that levels of inorganic tin of 150 mg/kg in canned beverages and 250 mg/kg in other canned foods may cause gastric irritation in some individuals. Information is not available to indicate whether or not infants and young children might be at greater risk.(6) To protect public health from this acute health risk it is necessary to set maximum levels for inorganic tin in canned foods and canned beverages. Until data becomes available on the sensitivity of infants and young children to inorganic tin in foods, it is necessary on a precautionary basis to protect the health of this vulnerable population group. Lower maximum levels are necessary, which are achievable through the strictly controlled manufacturing and packaging of infant formulae, follow-on formulae, baby foods and processed cereal-based foods for infants and young children.(7) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should be amended accordingly.(8) 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 I to Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation. The Commission shall review the maximum levels for inorganic tin as set in points 1 and 2 of the Annex to this Regulation by 1 January 2006 taking into account the progress in scientific and technological knowledge.

44131,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 643/2014 of 16 June 2014 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the reporting of national provisions of prudential nature relevant to the field of occupational pension schemes according to Directive 2003/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2003/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 June 2003 on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision (1) and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 20(11) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 2003/41/EC requires Member States to report to the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) their national provisions of prudential nature relevant to the field of occupational pension schemes which are not covered by the reference to national social and labour law in Article 20(1) of that Directive (hereinafter ‘national prudential provisions’). The requirements laid down in this Regulation do not affect Member State competences as provided for in Directive 2003/41/EC with regard to the national social and labour law applicable to institutions for occupational retirement provision.(2) It is appropriate for EIOPA to make the information reported under this Regulation available on its website to create a centralised source of information at Union level on national prudential provisions.(3) It is acknowledged that Member States can have provisions applicable to occupational pension schemes in areas such as company law, trust law and insolvency law that extend beyond national prudential provisions. The reporting obligation under this Regulation is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all the legal and regulatory rules under which occupational pension schemes operate.(4) In accordance with Article 4 of Directive 2003/41/EC, Member States may choose to apply the provisions of Articles 9 to 16 and Articles 18, 19 and 20 of that Directive to the business of occupational retirement provision of insurance undertakings which are covered by Directive 2002/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Member States that availed themselves of this option apply a range of national prudential provisions to insurance undertakings that is different from those applicable to occupational pension schemes. For the Member States that follow this option, the reporting obligation should also include information regarding the assets and liablilities referred to in the second paragraph of Article 7 of Directive 2003/41/EC.(5) In order to ensure uniform reporting, a template should be provided for competent authorities to use when transmitting the requested information to EIOPA. To enable ease of access and comparability of the information transmitted, the template list should correspond to the relevant provisions of Directive 2003/41/EC. The template should also facilitate the reporting of national prudential provisions which are not covered in the list, being of a prudential nature but not directly linked to the transposition of Directive 2003/41/EC.(6) Given the fact that Union law does not harmonise the structures of institutions for occupational retirement provision, there are numerous structures in which retirement provision is organised across the Member States. Competent authorities should report the names of those institutions and indicate the national prudential provisions applicable to the different structural types, where relevant.(7) The reporting obligation imposed on competent authorities as regards solvency margins and the guarantee fund as laid down in Articles 17a to 17d of Directive 2003/41/EC, is accommodated in the reporting template through Article 17(2) of that Directive.(8) In some Member States, national prudential provisions do not apply to the whole territory of the relevant Member State. Therefore, competent authorities should indicate in the template whether their national prudential provisions apply to different territories within their Member State, and the territorial scope of the reported provisions.(9) Information on national prudential provisions needs to be kept up to date without imposing a disproportionate burden on competent authorities. Therefore, the reporting should be limited to once a year. To increase the consistency of the disclosure of the information, the date to which the reporting refers and the date for the transmission of the information to EIOPA should be fixed. Competent authorities should be able to update that information between reporting dates on a voluntary basis.(10) To ensure that information on national prudential provisions is available shortly after the entry into force of this Regulation, the first transmission of information should take place within six months from its entry into force.(11) As specified in Recital 32 of Directive 2010/78/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the technical standards drafted by EIOPA should be without prejudice to the competences of Member States with regard to prudential requirements on such institutions as provided for in Directive 2003/41/EC.(12) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by EIOPA to the Commission.(13) EIOPA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Occupational Pensions Stakeholder Group established by Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),. Reporting procedures1.   Competent authorities shall transmit the information on national prudential provisions to EIOPA for the first time within six months from the entry into force of this Regulation and then annually, by 30 June of each calendar year subsequent to the year in which that six month period ends.2.   The first transmission shall relate to national prudential provisions which are in force on the date this Regulation enters into force. The annual transmissions shall relate to national prudential provisions which are in force on 1 March of the relevant calendar year.3.   Competent authorities may transmit updated information on their national prudential provisions to EIOPA at any time on a voluntary basis.

37272,"Council Regulation (EC) No 626/2009 of 13 July 2009 concluding the partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of the anti-dumping duty on imports of certain graphite electrode systems originating in India. ,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 9 and 11(3) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:1.   EXISTING MEASURES(1) Following an investigation (‘the original investigation’), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1629/2004 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain graphite electrode systems originating in India.1.1.   Initiation of an interim review(2) On the request of Hindustan Electro Graphite Limited (‘HEG’ or ‘the company’), an Indian exporting producer subject to the anti-dumping measures in force, a partial interim review of the above-mentioned Regulation was initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.(3) This partial interim review was initiated based on prima facie evidence provided by the company that, as far as they were concerned, the circumstances on the basis of which measures were established had changed and that these changes were of a lasting nature.(4) The request alleged that the cost of production of the product concerned had reduced due to production efficiencies since the original investigation, and that the company had been able to significantly increase their export prices. They claimed therefore that the continued imposition of measures at the existing level, which were based on the level of dumping previously established, was no longer necessary to offset dumping.(5) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission published a notice (‘Notice of Initiation’) (3) and commenced an investigation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping.1.2.   Parties concerned by the investigation(6) The Commission officially advised HEG, as well as the representatives of the exporting country and the Community industry, of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.(7) The Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadlines set for that purpose. The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping and carried out a verification visit at the premises of HEG in Bhopal, India.1.3.   Review investigation period(8) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 (‘the review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).2.   PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT2.1.   Product concerned(9) The product concerned by the current review is the same as that in the original investigation, i.e. graphite electrodes of a kind used for electric furnaces, with an apparent density of 1.65 g/cm3 or more and an electrical resistance of 6.0 μΩ.m or less, falling within CN code ex 8545 11 00 and nipples used for such electrodes, falling within CN code ex 8545 90 90 whether imported together or separately, originating in India.2.2.   Like product(10) The current review has shown that the graphite electrode systems produced by HEG and sold on the Indian domestic market are similar to those exported to the Community and therefore could be considered to be like product to the product concerned.3.   DUMPING3.1.   Normal value(11) In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the domestic sales of the product concerned to independent customers were representative, i.e. whether the total volume of such sales was equal to or greater than 5 % of the total volume of the corresponding export sales to the Community. The domestic sales of HEG were found to be representative during the investigation period.(12) The Commission then identified those product types sold domestically by that company which were identical or directly comparable with the types sold for export to the Community.(13) Domestic sales of a particular product type were considered as sufficiently representative when the volume of that product type sold on the domestic market to independent customers during the investigation period represented 5 % or more of the total volume of the comparable product type sold for export to the Community.(14) The Commission then examined whether the domestic sales of each type of graphite electrode system sold domestically in representative quantities could be considered as being made in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. This was done by establishing the proportion of profitable domestic sales to independent customers, of each exported product type, on the domestic market during the investigation period.(15) For those domestic sales of each type of graphite electrode system sold domestically in representative quantities where the sales were over 80 % profitable by volume, normal value was therefore based on the actual domestic price of all transactions during the investigation period.(16) For all other exported types also sold on the domestic market, where the sales were less than 80 % profitable by volume, normal value was based on the domestic sales price of the profitable transactions during the investigation period.(17) Wherever domestic prices of a particular product type could not be used in order to establish normal value, another method had to be applied. In accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation the Commission instead calculated a constructed normal value, as follows.(18) Normal value was constructed by adding to the exporter’s manufacturing costs of the exported types, a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses (‘SG&A expenses’) and a reasonable margin of profit.(19) In all cases SG&A expenses and profit were established pursuant to the methods set out in Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation. To this end, the Commission examined whether the SG&A expenses incurred and the profit realised by the exporting producer on sales on the domestic market of the like product constituted reliable data and in this case determined that it was suitable to be used to construct normal value.3.2.   Export price(20) All export sales of the product concerned by HEG were made directly to independent customers in the Community, and therefore the export price was established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned in the RIP in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation.3.3.   Comparison(21) The comparison between the normal value and the export price was made on an ex-factory basis and at the same level of trade. In order to ensure a fair comparison, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. On this basis, allowances, where applicable and justified, were made for differences in rebates, transport costs, insurance, handling charges, packaging, credit costs and import duties.3.4.   Dumping margin(22) As provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by type was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned.(23) HEG’s dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, duty unpaid, was found to be de minimis in the sense of Article 9(3) of the basic Regulation.4.   LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES(24) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances could reasonably be said to be of a lasting nature.(25) Whereas the cost of production of the company had not significantly decreased since the original investigation, the export price of the product concerned had increased substantially during the RIP, thereby removing the dumping findings of the original investigation.(26) Latest available data collected for the period after the RIP showed the import prices from HEG to have remained both high and stable, thereby confirming that the company continued with its non-dumping behaviour after the RIP.(27) It was also found that, during the RIP, exports by HEG to markets other than the EU were made at prices above prices on the Indian domestic market.(28) In these circumstances, the findings from the RIP can be considered to be lasting.5.   ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES(29) As stated above, HEG was found to be dumping at a de minimis level during the RIP. It is however noted that, while the dumping margin established for the company concerned in the original investigation was 22,4 %, the anti-dumping duty presently in force against this company is 0 % (4). This results from the fact that there are parallel countervailing duties in force on imports of the product concerned. In these circumstances, the finding of de minimis dumping has no immediate impact on the level of the measures currently in force (5).6.   DISCLOSURE(30) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts, considerations and findings of the investigation and were given an opportunity to comment. No comments were received,. The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain graphite electrode systems originating in India, initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 is hereby concluded without amending the level of the anti-dumping measure in force.

43580,"2014/771/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 31 October 2014 on the identification of Universal Business Language version 2.1 for referencing in public procurement  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 13(1) thereof,After consulting the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation and sectoral experts,Whereas:(1) Standardisation plays an important role in supporting the Europe 2020 strategy, as set out in the Communication from the Commission entitled ‘Europe 2020: A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’ (2). Several flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 strategy underline the importance of voluntary standardisation in product or services markets to assure the compatibility and interoperability between products and services, foster technological development and support innovation.(2) In the digital society standardisation deliverables become indispensable to ensure the interoperability between devices, applications, data repositories, services and networks. The Communication from the Commission entitled ‘A strategic vision for European standards: moving forward to enhance and accelerate the sustainable growth of the European economy by 2020’ (3) recognises the specificity of information and communication technologies (ICT) standardisation where ICT solutions, applications and services are often developed by global ICT Fora and Consortia that have emerged as leading ICT standards development organisations.(3) Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 aims at modernising and improving the European standardisation framework. It establishes a system whereby the Commission may decide to identify the most relevant and most widely accepted ICT technical specifications issued by organisations that are not European, international or national standardisation organisations. The possibility to use the full range of ICT technical specifications when procuring hardware, software and information technology services will enable interoperability, will help avoid lock-in for public administrations and will encourage competition in the supply of interoperable ICT solutions.(4) The ICT technical specifications that may be eligible for referencing in public procurement must comply with the requirements set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. Compliance with those requirements guarantees the public authorities that the ICT technical specifications are established in accordance with the principles of openness, fairness, objectivity and non-discrimination that are recognised by the World Trade organisation (WTO) in the field of standardisation.(5) The decision to identify the ICT specification is to be adopted after consultation of the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation set up by Commission Decision (4) complemented by other forms of consultation of sectoral experts.(6) On 22 May 2014, the European multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation evaluated Universal Business Language version 2.1 (UBL 2.1) against the requirements set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and gave a positive advice on its identification for referencing in public procurement. The evaluation of UBL 2.1 was subsequently submitted to consultation of sectoral experts that also gave a positive advice on its identification.(7) UBL 2.1 developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards is a royalty-free library of standard electronic Extensible Markup Language (XML) business documents. It is designed to plug directly into existing business, legal, auditing, and records management practices, and to operate within a standard business framework such as ISO 15000 (ebXML) to provide a complete, standards-based infrastructure that can extend the benefits of existing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems to businesses of all sizes,. Universal Business Language version 2.1 developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards is eligible for referencing in public procurement. This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union..

43111,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 1356/2013 of 17 December 2013 initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011 on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of certain slightly modified open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China, and making such imports subject to registration. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 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 in accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,Whereas:A.   REQUEST(1) The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of slightly modified open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China, and to make such imports subject to registration.(2) The request was lodged on 6 November 2013 by Saint-Gobain Adfors CZ s.r.o., Tolnatext Fonalfeldolgozo, Valmieras ‘Stikla Skiedra’ AS and Vitrulan Technical Textiles GmbH, four Union producers of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres.B.   PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2, excluding glass fibre discs, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex 7019 51 00 and ex 7019 59 00 (‘the product concerned’).(4) The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but currently falling within CN code ex 7019 40 00 and originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the product under investigation’).C.   EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011 (2).D.   GROUNDS(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of a slight modification of the product concerned to make it fall under customs codes which are normally not subject to the measures, and that the modification does not alter the essential characteristics of the product concerned. The slight modification consists of increasing the proportion of glass fibre rovings in the open mesh, so that they predominate by weight in the product under investigation which is therefore to be classified under CN code 7019 40 00 as woven glass fibre fabrics of rovings.(7) The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows:(8) The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People’s Republic of China to the Union has taken place following the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty on the product concerned imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011, without sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.(9) This change appears to stem from the importation of the product under investigation into the Union. The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the product under investigation has the same essential characteristics and uses as the product concerned.(10) Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient prima facie evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.(11) 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 the product concerned.(12) Should circumvention practices covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than the one mentioned above, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.E.   PROCEDURE(13) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a)   Questionnaires(14) In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People’s Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.(15) 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, and 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.(16) The authorities of the People’s Republic of China will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.(b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings(17) 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 from registration of imports or measures(18) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.(19) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product under investigation in the People’s Republic of China that can show that they are not related (3) to any producer subject to the existing measures (4) 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 limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F.   REGISTRATION(20) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation shall 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 from the date on which registration of such imports was imposed.G.   TIME LIMITS(21) 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 the People’s Republic of China may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(22) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party making itself known within the time limits laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation.H.   NON-COOPERATION(23) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(24) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.(25) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.I.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION(26) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.J.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(27) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).K.   HEARING OFFICER(28) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer for the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties’ rights of defence are being fully exercised.(29) A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.(30) For further information and contact details, interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on the Directorate-General for Trade’s website (http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/degucht/contact/hearing-officer/),. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2, excluding fibreglass discs, currently falling within CN code ex 7019 40 00 (TARIC code 7019400011, 7019400021 and 7019400050), originating in the People’s Republic of China, are circumventing the measures imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 791/2011. The Customs authorities shall, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union 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 Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption from registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted. 1.   Questionnaires must be requested from the Commission within 15 days from 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 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.3.   Producers in the People’s Republic of China requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures must submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time limit.4.   Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time limit.5.   Interested parties are required to make all submissions and requests in electronic format (non-confidential submissions via e-mail, confidential ones on CD-R/DVD), and must indicate their name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers.

The objective of this Directive is the harmonization of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the maximum tar yield of cigarettes, taking as a basis a high level of public health protection by the reduction of the health damage caused by tar. 1. For the purposes of this Directive, 'tar' means the raw anhydrous nicotine-free condensate of smoke.2. The tar yield of cigarettes marketed in the Member States shall not be greater than:- 15 mg per cigarette as from 31 December 1992, and- 12 mg per cigarette as from 31 December 1997.3.

The undertakings of the Iron and Steel industry which sell iron and steel products in the Common Market under Article 81 of the ECSC Treaty to destinations which involve carriage by sea are required to publish sea-freight schedules for their main trade routes.The undertakings may satisfy this obligation by publishing schedules of transport charges from basing point to sea-port of unloading. 1. The sea freight schedules shall include handling charges in the port of loading, sea freight, port dues  in the ports of loading and unloading, and insurance.If the schedules published contain other factors these must be specified.2. If the undertakings choose to publish sea-freight schedules from basing point to the sea-port of unloading, these schedules shall include, in addition to the factors mentioned in paragraph 1 of this Article, the transport charges up to the port of loading.3. The schedules may relate to a specific sea-port or to various sea-ports grouped in a limited geographical area having special characteristics.4. The freight schedules may be drawn up by main categories of products and by tonnage groups.5. The undertakings must ensure that the schedules which they publish reflect as exactly as possible the real costs involved.

The assessment reports should be derived from the original competent authority report as amended in the light of all the documents, comments and information taken into account during the evaluation process.(2) In order to increase legal certainty, provision should be made for the phasing-out, after 1 September 2006, of biocidal products containing notified active substances for which a decision has been taken not to include them, for certain or all of their notified product-types, in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC, either because they were withdrawn from the review programme or because they were found not acceptable after evaluation.(3) In accordance with Article 4b of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 (2), the Member States have examined dossiers requesting an extension of the period for the placing on the market of biocidal products containing specific active substances and have accepted those which were complete. It is therefore appropriate to allow the substances covered by the accepted dossiers to remain on the market after 1 September 2006, until they are assessed under the 10-year review programme.(4) For a number of notified existing active substances or product type combinations, the participants have either withdrawn their notifications or failed to comply with their obligations, while no other economic operator or Member State has expressed an interest in obtaining the status of participant within the given deadlines. Annexes II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) In the case of one of the substances listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 under the EC number 404-690-8, two product-types have been omitted, although they were notified within the time limits laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 of 7 September 2000 on the first phase of the programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on biocidal products (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) 1687/2002 of 25 September 2002 on an additional period for notification of certain active substances already on the market for biocidal use as established in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 (4). Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The names of certain substances covered by the BKC and DDAC entries listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 also appear in Annex III to that Regulation. The respective entries should therefore be deleted from Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003.(7) Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 is amended as follows:1. In Article 4(2), the following subparagraph is added:2. In Article 11, the following paragraph 4 is added:3.

4634,"2008/415/EC: Commission Decision of 28 May 2008 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures to combat avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2007 (notified under document number C(2008) 2169). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 3(3) and 3a(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing the Community’s financial contribution towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. Pursuant to Article 3a of that Decision, Member States may obtain a Community financial contribution towards the costs of certain measures to eradicate avian influenza.(2) Article 3a(3) of Decision 90/424/EEC lays down rules on the percentage of the costs incurred by Member States that may be covered by the Community’s financial contribution.(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2), following the amendment of Decision 90/424/EEC by Decision 2006/53/EC (3), no longer covers avian influenza. It is therefore necessary to expressly provide in the present Decision that the granting of a financial contribution to the United Kingdom is subject to compliance with certain rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(4) Outbreaks of avian influenza occurred in the United Kingdom in 2007. The emergence of that disease represents a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population. The United Kingdom took measures, as referred to in Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC, to combat those outbreaks.(5) The United Kingdom has fully complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Articles 3(3) and 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC and Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(6) The United Kingdom submitted to the Commission information on the costs incurred on 13 December 2007, and has continued to provide all necessary information on costs of compensation and operational expenditure.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Financial contribution from the Community to the United Kingdom1.   A financial contribution from the Community may be granted to the United Kingdom towards the costs incurred by that Member State in taking the measures referred to in Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC to combat avian influenza in 2007.2.   For the purposes of this Decision, Articles 2 to 5, Articles 7 and 8 and Article 9(2), (3) and (4) and Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

1772,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81 of 1 January 1981 fixing, in respect of fruit and vegetables the general rules for implementing the 1979 Act of Accession. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 72 (1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, pursuant to Article 74 of the Act of Accession the basic price for fruit and vegetables is to be fixed in Greece, at the time of accession, taking into account the difference between the average producer prices in Greece and the Community of Nine recorded over a reference period, to be determined ; whereas that reference period must be representative of real market trends ; whereas the past three marketing years should be taken for this purpose, excluding periods during which prices underwent abnormal fluctuations;Whereas the same criteria should be used to determine the difference in prices referred to in Article 67 of the Act of Accession and for calculating the minimum price applicable in Greece, referred to in Article 77 of that Act;Whereas Article 75 of the said Act introduced a compensatory mechanism for imports into the Community of Nine of fruit and vegetables coming from Greece for which an institutional price is fixed ; whereas the detailed rules for implementing the said mechanism should be determined;Whereas, where the prices paid in Greece under the previous national system for citrus fruit for processing would result in fixing a minimum price higher than the common minimum price, it is appropriate to adopt the common price definitively for Greece, as provided for in Article 77 (3) of the Act of Accession,. Where, for calculating reference prices or fixing export refunds, the difference in prices is taken into account pursuant to Article 67 of the Act of Accession, the procedure shall be as follows:    (1) for price fixings relating to the period from 1 January 1981 to the end of the current marketing year, this difference shall be the difference between average producer prices in Greece and in the Community of Nine recorded during the marketing years 1977/78, 1978/79 and 1979/80, to the exclusion of years or parts of years during which abnormal prices obtained;(2) for subsequent price fixings, this difference shall be that referred to in paragraph 1 phased down as provided for in Article 59 of the Act. The reference period referred to in the second paragraph of Article 74 (2) of the Act of Accession shall be the marketing years 1977/78, 1978/79 and 1979/80, to the exclusion of years or parts of years during which abnormal prices obtained. The prices taken for the purposes of calculating the producer prices referred to in Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession shall be those recorded for a home-grown product, defined as to commercial characteristics, on the representative market or markets located in the production areas in which the prices are lowest, for products or varieties representing a large proportion of production marketed throughout or during part of the year and which correspond to quality Class I and meet specific conditions with regard to packaging.For each representative market, the average price calculated shall exclude price data which may be regarded as excessively high or low in terms of normal fluctuations on this market. The ""representative"" prices of the Greek product, referred to in Article 75 (2) (b) of the Act of Accession shall be    - the prices for Class I products, provided that the quantities in this class represent at least 50 % of the total quantities marketed,- the prices for Class I products, supplemented, where products in this class represent less than 50 % of the total quantities, by the prices, unchanged, of Class II products for quantities enabling 50 % of total quantities marketed to be covered,-  the prices, unchanged, of Class II products, where there are no Class I products, unless it is decided to apply a conversion factor if, because of production conditions in Greece, these products are not, by reason of their qualitative characteristics, normally and traditionally marketed in Class I. 1. The ""daily offer price"" of the Community product referred to in Article 75 (2) (c) of the Act shall be    - for products covered both by a Community offer price and a basic price, for the period of application of the latter, the mathematical average of the prices plus packaging costs, which the Member States shall notify to the Commission in accordance with Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (1),- for products which are the subject only of a Community offer price, and outside the period of application of the basic price, for the products referred to in the first indent, the mathematical average of the producer prices recorded on the representative markets for home-grown products having the same characteristics as those referred to for fixing the Community offer price.The amount defined in paragraph 2 shall be added to the mathematical averages thus determined.However, where, for a given market, the prices recorded refer to products grown by methods differing from those taken for the fixing of Community offer prices, coefficients laid down for the calculation of the Greek offer price for this type of product shall be applied to these prices for the purposes of calculating the daily offer price.These coefficients shall be applied to the prices, including packaging costs and the amount defined in paragraph 2.2. The amount referred to in paragraph 1, which may be calculated at a standard rate, shall be fixed on the basis of transport costs borne by the products from the growing areas to the representative consumption centres of the Community. It shall be the same as that to be taken in respect of transport costs referred to in Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession. 1. The corrective amount referred to in Article 75 (2) (c) of the Act of Accession shall be introduced:    (a) whenever the offer price for the Greek product remains for two consecutive marketing days at a level at least 0 76 ECU below that of the relevant Community offer price ; or(b) whenever, during a period of five to seven consecutive market days, Greek offer prices are alternately above and below the relevant Community offer price, even when such higher or lower Greek entry prices are above or below the Community offer price for two consecutive market days,without this situation having led to no application of the provision referred to in (a).In the latter case, the corrective amount shall, however, be introduced only when- at least three Greek offer prices have been recorded below the relevant Community offer price,and- provided that one of these Greek offer prices is at least 0 76 ECU below that of the relevant Community offer price.2. The corrective amount shall be equal to:    (a) in the case referred to in paragraph 1 (a), the difference between, as appropriate,      - the Community offer price defined in Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act and the mathematical average of the two last Greek offer prices available,- the mathematical average of the two last relevant Community offer prices and the mathematical average of the two last available Greek offer prices,(b) in the case referred to in paragraph 1 (b), the difference between the relevant Community offer price and the last available Greek offer price at least 0 76 ECU below the relevant Community offer price. 1. The corrective amount introduced pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) shall not be changed until variations in the components referred to for its calculation entail, from the date of its effective application and during three consecutive market days, a change in this amount of more than 1 72 ECU.A decision to discontinue the corrective amount shall be taken whenever Greek offer prices for two consecutive market days from the time of effective application of the amount at least match the relevant Community offer price. Such a decision shall also be taken whenever, for Greek products, no prices are recorded for six consecutive working days or where application of the first subparagraph entails a corrective amount of zero.2. Corrective amounts introduced pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) shall be applied for six days.Such an amount may be discontinued before the end of this period only    - if application of Article 6 (1) (a) entails the establishment of a higher amount, or- if, from the time of effective application of the corrective amount, the Greek offer prices are, for three consecutive market days, at a level at least equal to the relevant Community offer price.(1) OJ No L 118, 20.5.1972, p. 1. 1. The minimum price referred to in Article 77 (1) of the Act shall be established on the basis of the prices paid to Greek producers during the marketing years 1977/78, 1978/79 and 1979/80, to the exclusion of years of parts of years during which abnormal prices have obtained.2. Where the prices recorded in Greece result in a minimum price level in excess of the common minimum price, the latter price shall be definitively adopted for Greece. 1. The following shall be determined according to the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72    - implementing procedures for this Regulation,- the Community offer price referred to in Article 75 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession,- the minimum price and the financial compensation referred to in Article 77 of the Act of Accession.2. The Commission shall decide when the corrective amount is to be introduced, amended or discontinued. 0This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1981.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The related detailed rules should therefore be adopted. Those detailed rules should follow the same lines as those already laid down in Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 with regard to olive oil, tobacco, cotton and hops.(4) The application of Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 to all sectors included in the single payment scheme after the first year of application may lead to the situation that the amounts that remain in the national reserve after allocation of reference amounts from that national reserve in the cases provided for in that Article are not needed anymore to cover any further cases. In that case the Member States should be authorised to increase proportionally the unit value of all payment entitlements.(5) Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 provides for the detailed rules for farmers who made investments in production capacity or who leased parcels on a long-term basis. Those provisions need to be adapted in order to take into account the special situation of farmers in the sugar sector who made such investments or entered into such long-term lease-contracts before the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (3).(6) Experience shows that there is a need for clarification of the dates at which a farmer applying for aid under the single payment scheme has to hold the payment entitlements.(7) The rules in case of transfers of payment entitlements should be clarified in order to enable a transfer to take place on the date foreseen in the communication of the transfer to the competent authority, unless the competent authority objects to the transfer and notifies the transferor thereof within the time period established by the Member State.(8) Article 48c of Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 needs to be adapted in respect of Member States which already started to apply the single payment scheme in 2005.(9) The integration of the sugar reference amounts into the single payment scheme was decided by Council Regulation (EC) No 319/2006 of 20 February 2006 amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers. Member States therefore only have very short time-limits to take the necessary steps to comply with that integration. Measures should be taken to ensure a smooth transition from the old sugar-related schemes to the integration into the single payment scheme. In particular, it should be ensured that farmers may make use of their rights within reasonable time-limits. Where that possibility is at jeopardy, Member States should have to provide for a prolongation of the application time-limits fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.(10) In order to avoid that the sugar sector is submitted to a second linear percentage reduction of the reference amounts in case of overshoot of the national ceilings referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, it is appropriate to clarify the application of Article 41(2) of that Regulation.(11) In accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, the national reserve has to be replenished by a linear reduction of all the reference amounts. Rules need to be established to clarify how Member States who already applied the single payment scheme in 2005 have to proceed with regard to the integration of the reference amount for sugar beet, cane and chicory into the replenishment of the national reserve.(12) The specific rules provided for in Article 48d of Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 need to be extended to include sugar beet, cane and chicory support.(13) A further time-limit concerning the dates provided for in Article 49a of Regulation (EC) No 795/2004, by which Member States have to communicate certain information to the Commission, needs to be granted with regard to the integration of sugar beet, cane and chicory support.(14) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 fixes the date from which the growing of secondary crops may be temporarily allowed in regions where cereals are usually harvested sooner for climatic reasons as referred to in Article 51(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. At the request of Greece, that date should be fixed for that Member State.(15) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 fixed the average number of hectares referred to in Article 60(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 on the basis of the data communicated to the Commission by the Member States concerned. Finland has communicated the relevant data. It is therefore appropriate to fix also the number of hectares for that Member State.(16) Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.(17) Due to the fact that the transfer of entitlements may start as from 1 January 2006, it is appropriate to provide that this Regulation applies retroactively from that date.(18) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,. Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 is amended as follows:1. in Article 4, the following paragraph is added:2.

Article 48e is amended as follows:(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:(b) in paragraph 2, points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:‘(a) the corresponding part of the increase of the regional ceiling divided by the total number of payment entitlements established in the region at the date for lodging an application for the single payment scheme at the latest;(b) the reference amount corresponding for each farmer to the remaining part of the increase of the regional ceiling divided by the number of payment entitlements that the farmer owns by the date for lodging an application for the single payment scheme in 2006 at the latest.’;9. Article 49a is amended as follows:(a) The title is replaced by the following:(b) the following subparagraph is added to paragraph 1:(c) in paragraph 2, the following subparagraph is added:10.

16947,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1484/97 of 22 July 1997 on aid for population policies and programmes in the developing countries. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130w thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty (2),(1) Whereas the capacity of most developing countries to achieve sustainable human development is hampered by many obstacles, one of them being the high rate of population growth; whereas these countries have adopted national population programmes;(2) Whereas the International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994 adopted a programme of action;(3) Whereas the Council, in its resolution of 11 November 1986 concerning population and development and that of 18 November 1992 concerning family planning and cooperation with the developing countries, recognized the urgent need to satisfy unmet demand for family-planning services, at the same time stressing the need to help the developing countries implement broad-based population programmes encompassing all the different factors determining control over fertility;(4) Whereas the European Parliament hearing of 25 November 1993 highlighted the complex relationship between population and development; whereas, up to a point, population growth may promote economic development; whereas, however, the very high rates of growth observed in a number of developing countries make it impossible to satisfy the needs thus generated and to open up prospects for sustainable development, notably as far as the environment is concerned;(5) Whereas a more moderate demographic development would be promoted through the following:- a fairer distribution of income among different groups in a society,- an economic policy which makes it possible for poor women and men to develop a diversified livelihood,- investments in infrastructure with importance to people's health, such as clean water, improved sewerage systems and acceptable housing,- a health policy which improves the access to health services for the poor, and- improved access and quality for general education and training for women and girls;(6) Whereas a number of developing countries have entered a phase of demographic transition characterized by a significant reduction in the fertility rate, which points at a change in attitude conducive to a reduction in family size; whereas other developing countries have not entered this phase and should therefore receive special assistance;(7) Whereas individual freedom of choice for women, men and, in particular, adolescents through adequate access to information and services in matters concerning their reproductive rights is a significant element of progress and development;(8) Whereas the Community has been helping to finance specific measures and pilot schemes in pursuit of these objectives since 1990; whereas it is time for the Community to step up its cooperation in this particular area, in accordance with the programme of action of the said Cairo International Conference;(9) Whereas the Community upholds the right of individuals to decide on the number and spacing of their children; whereas it denounces any violation of human rights in the form of compulsory abortion, compulsory sterilization, infanticide, rejection, abandonment and abuse inflicted on unwanted children as a means of curbing population growth;(10) Whereas no support is to be given under this Regulation to incentives to encourage sterilization or abortion nor to the improper testing of contraception methods in developing countries;(11) Whereas the Community has undertaken to follow up the aforementioned Cairo International Conference, notably by increasing its financial support for population programmes in the developing countries;(12) Whereas, when cooperation measures are implemented, the decision adopted at the Cairo International Conference, according to which abortion can never be promoted as a family-planning method, has to be rigorously observed;(13) Whereas the recipient countries must be helped to introduce population programmes that are compatible with sustainable development and to develop strategies aimed at giving women the power to decide and achieving equality between women and men, which are determining factors in enabling women to exercise choice over child-bearing, uptake of family planning and control over their own reproductive health, through measures in a variety of social, economic and cultural sectors, and in particular the key sectors of education and health;(14) Whereas, to be truly effective, such population programmes must be part of an overall policy to combat poverty and counter the threats on the environment;(15) Whereas new operations of this kind will be effective only if they are accompanied by sustainable development enabling the harmonious and progressive integration of the developing countries into the world economy;(16) Whereas non-governmental organizations and private operators can play an essential role in ensuring the success of health, education and family-planning policies, in particular among women, who are central to any sustainable human development policy, and adolescents;(17) Whereas the measures taken under this Regulation are to be funded by grants from the general budget of the European Communities;(18) Whereas a financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 2 of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995, 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;(19) Whereas administrative rules and procedures must be laid down for cooperation in this field,. The Community shall conduct cooperation in support of population policies and programmes in the developing countries. Measures taken under this Regulation shall be directed primarily at those countries which are furthest away from the criteria defined by the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development, at the poorest and least developed countries and at the most disadvantaged sections of the population of developing countries. The assistance provided under this Regulation shall complement and reinforce assistance provided under other instruments of development cooperation in the education and health sectors with a view to taking population issues fully into account and to integrating them in Community programmes. 1. In operations funded in the course of the cooperation referred to in Article 1, account shall be taken of the following priority objectives:- enabling women, men and adolescents to make a free and informed choice about the number and spacing of their children,- contributing to the creation of a socio-cultural, economic and educational environment conducive to the full exercise of that choice, especially for women and adolescents, and in particular through the condemnation and eradication of all forms of sexual violence, mutilation and abuse which affect their dignity and health,- helping develop or reform health systems in order to improve the accessibility and quality of reproductive health care for women and men including adolescents, thereby appreciably reducing the risks to the health of women and children.2. Community aid may be granted to projects involving activities in the following areas:- support for the establishment, development and increased availability of reproductive health care services as part of policies and programmes implemented by governments, international bodies, NGOs and private operators, particularly targeting groups for whom the issue is especially important, such as adolescents, pregnant women and other groups as locally determined,- help with the drafting, application or financing of policies which contribute to the better reproductive health of women and girls,- the improvement of reproductive health care services, encompassing safe pregnancies, perinatal care, family planning, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS, in terms of infrastructure, equipment, supplies, training or research,- support for information, education and awareness campaigns aimed at promoting better reproductive health and an understanding of population issues, including the wider social benefits of speeding up the demographic transition,- family-planning policy and services including information on safe and effective family-planning methods,- the development of grassroots structures, the voluntary sector, local NGOs and south-south cooperation for the implementation of programmes, the exchange of experience and support for cooperation networks between partners. The cooperation partners eligible for financial support under this Regulation shall be regional and international organizations, local and Member State based NGOs, national, provincial and local government departments and agencies, community-based organizations including women's organizations, institutes and public and private operators. Cooperation initiatives shall be implemented on the basis of dialogue with the national, regional and local authorities concerned so as to avoid programmes which are coercive, discriminatory or prejudicial to fundamental human rights. Account shall be taken of the economic, social and cultural background of the sections of population concerned, respecting universal human rights.Women in particular shall be invited to take part in the design, planning, implementation and evaluation of all population projects and programmes. 1. The instruments to be employed in the course of operations effected pursuant to Article 2 shall include studies, technical assistance, training or other services, supplies and works, along with audits and evaluation and monitoring missions.2. According to the needs of the operations concerned, Community financing may cover both capital investment, other than the purchase of real estate, and operating costs in foreign or local currency. However, with the exception of training programmes, operating costs may normally be covered only during the start-up phase and on a degressive basis.3. A financial contribution from the partners defined in Article 5 shall be sought for each cooperation operation. Their contribution shall be requested within the limits of the possibilities available to the parties concerned and depending on the nature of the operation concerned.4. A financial contribution from the local partners, particularly in respect of operating costs, shall be sought as a matter of priority in the case of projects intended to launch long-term activities, so as to ensure the viability of such projects once Community funding comes to an end.5. Opportunities may be sought for cofinancing with other fund providers, and especially with Member States.6. The Commission shall ensure that the Community character of the aid provided under this Regulation is highlighted.7. In order to achieve the objectives of consistency and complementarity referred to in the Treaty and with the aim of guaranteeing optimum effectiveness of all the operations concerned, the Commission may take all necessary coordination measures, including in particular:(a) the establishment of a system for the systematic exchange and analysis of information on operations financed and those which the Community and the Member States propose to finance;(b) on-the-spot coordination of the implementation of operations through regular meetings and exchange of information between representatives of the Commission and of the Member States in the beneficiary country.8. In order to obtain the greatest possible impact globally and nationally, the Commission, in liaison with the Member States, shall take any initiative necessary for ensuring proper coordination and close collaboration with the beneficiary countries and the providers of funds and other international agencies involved, in particular those forming part of the United Nations system, and more specifically the United Nations Population Fund. Financial support under this Regulation shall take the form of grants. The financial reference amount for the implementation of this programme for the period 1998-2002 shall be ECU 35 million.The annual appropriations shall be authorized by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective. 01. The Commission shall be responsible for appraising, approving and managing operations covered by this Regulation in accordance with the budgetary and other procedures in force, and in particular those laid down in the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 (3) applicable to the general budget of the European Communities.2. Projects and programme appraisal shall take into account the following factors:- effectiveness and viability of operations,- cultural, social, gender and environmental aspects,- institutional development necessary to achieve project goals,- experience gained from operations of the same kind.3. Decisions relating to grants of more than ECU 2 million for individual operations financed under this Regulation and any changes resulting in an increase of more than 20 % in the sum initially approved for such an operation shall be adopted under the procedure laid down in Article 11.The Commission shall inform the Committee referred to in Article 11 succinctly of the financing decisions which it intends to take with regard to projects and programmes of less than ECU 2 million in value. The information shall be made available not later than one week before the decision is taken.4. The Commission shall be authorized to approve, without recourse to the opinion of the Committee provided for in Article 11, any supplementary commitments needed for covering expected or real cost overruns in connection with the operations, where the overrun or additional requirement is less than, or equal to, 20 % of the initial commitment fixed by the financing decision.5. All financing agreements or contracts concluded under this Regulation shall provide for the Commission and the Court of Auditors to conduct on-the-spot checks according to the usual procedures laid down by the Commission under the rules in force, and in particular those of the Regulation referred to in paragraph 1.6. Where operations are the subject of financing agreements between the Community and the recipient country, such agreement shall stipulate that the payment of taxes, duties or any other charges is not to be covered by the Community.7. Participation in invitations to tender and the award of contracts shall be open on equal terms to natural and legal persons of the Member States and of the recipient country. It may be extended to other developing countries.8. Supplies shall originate in the Member States, the recipient country or other developing countries. In exceptional cases, where circumstances so warrant, supplies may originate elsewhere.9. Particular attention shall be given to:- the pursuit of cost-effectiveness and sustainable impact in project design,- the clear definition and monitoring of objective and indications of achievement for all projects. 11. The Commission shall be assisted by the geographically-determined committee competent for development.2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The Chairman shall not vote.The Commission shall adopt the measures envisaged if they are in accordance with the opinion of the committee.If the measures envisaged are not in accordance with the opinion of the committee, or if no opinion is delivered, the Commission shall without delay submit to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken. The Council shall act by a qualified majority.If, on the expiry of a period of three months from the date of referral to the Council, the Council has not acted, the proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.3. An exchange of views shall take place once a year on the basis of a presentation by the representative of the Commission of the general guidelines for the operations to be carried out in the year ahead, in the framework of a joint meeting of the committees pursuant to paragraph 1. 21. At the end of each budget year, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council comprising a summary of the operations financed in the course of that year and evaluating the implementation of this Regulation over that period.The summary shall in particular contain information on those with whom contracts have been concluded.2. The Commission shall regularly assess operations financed by the Community with a view to establishing whether the objectives aimed at by such operations have been achieved and to provide guidelines for improving the effectiveness of future operations. The Commission shall submit to the committee referred to in Article 11 a summary of the assessments made which, if appropriate, may be examined by the committee. The assessment reports shall be made available to any Member States requesting them.3. The Commission shall inform the Member States, at the latest one month after its decision, of the operations and projects approved, stating their cost and nature, the recipient country and partners. 31. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall be applicable until 31 December 2002.2. Three years after this Regulation enters into force, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council an overall assessment of operations financed by the Community under this Regulation, which may include suggestions regarding the future of this Regulation and, where necessary, proposals for amending or prolonging it.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.(5) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.(8) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

The Commission shall then inform Member States so that they can advise their customs services. This information shall also be published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities. 1.   The Commission shall take all administrative action it deems advisable for efficient management of the quotas referred to in Article 1.2.   When an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry for free circulation including an application for the benefit of the tariff quota for a product covered by this Regulation the Member State shall, if the declaration has been accepted by the customs authorities, notify the Commission of its wish to draw the amount it needs from the quota volume.Applications to draw showing the date of acceptance of declarations shall be sent to the Commission without delay.Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in order of date of acceptance of declarations of entry for free circulation by the Member States' customs authorities provided that the available balance permits.3.   If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return them to the quota balance as soon as possible.4.   If the quantities applied for are greater than the quota balance, allocation shall be made pro rata to applications.

3775,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 of 22 September 2004 laying down rules for the transition from the optional modulation system established by Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 to the mandatory modulation system established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) No 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular Article 155 thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 (2) as from 1 May 2004. Member States may continue to apply the voluntary modulation provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 until 31 December 2004. A system of compulsory modulation introduced under the new scheme starts to apply in 2005.(2) The rate of compulsory modulation under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 will, at the initial stage, be lower than the rate of optional modulation under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 for certain Member States. This could create a deficit as regards the funding of accompanying measures under national or regional rural development programmes which are being financed by additional Community support as presently provided for in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999.(3) The Member States concerned should thus be allowed to continue to apply optional modulation after 31 December 2004, in so far as this is necessary to cover the financial needs arising from accompanying measures approved before 1 January 2006.(4) Transitional rules are therefore required to facilitate the transition from optional to compulsory modulation.(5) For the purpose of a harmonious transition between programming periods, the time limits for the availability of amounts resulting from optional modulation should be extended to the end of the fourth financial year following that during which the amounts are withheld. In this context it is appropriate, for reasons of legal clarity, to amend Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 963/2001 of 17 May 2001 on detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 as regards the additional Community support and the transmission of information to the Commission (3).(6) Taking into account the amendment to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 963/2001, it is also necessary to amend Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (4) concerning data to be transmitted by the Member States and the monthly booking of expenditure financed under the Guarantee Section of the EAGGF, in order to ensure the full application of this Article to funds resulting from optional modulation.(7) Regulations (EC) No 963/2001 and (EC) No 296/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) To ensure traceability, the financing source of each multiannual action should remain the same until the action expires. However, where the funds resulting from optional modulation are exhausted, the Member State must be allowed to finance multiannual actions which are still running by other funds.(9) In order to ensure that the funds resulting from optional modulation are properly managed and supervised, the Member States should keep a separate account for the amounts withheld and their use, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 296/96.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,. 1.   The Member States which have applied reductions of direct payments as provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 may, in addition to the reductions under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, apply an additional reduction up to the rate estimated each year to be required to cover the difference between the amount available as a result of the reductions under that Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and the amount necessary to finance the expenditure for accompanying measures under Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 (5), for which the allocation and use of additional Community support have been approved until 31 December 2005.2.   The overall reduction of support to a farmer in respect of a given calendar year, resulting from the application of paragraph 1, shall not exceed 20 % of the total amount which would, but for that paragraph and Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, be granted to the farmer in respect of the calendar year concerned.3.   The accompanying measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be measures under Articles 10 to 12 (early retirement), Articles 13 to 21 (less-favoured areas and areas with environmental restrictions), Articles 21a to 21d (meeting standards), Articles 22 to 24 (agri-environment and animal welfare), Articles 24a to 24d (food quality) and Article 31 (afforestation) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.4.   The additional reduction provided for in paragraph 1 may be applied at regional level.5.   The provisions set out in Article 48(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 817/2004 (6) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, for the approval of the allocation and use of amounts withheld in accordance with paragraph 1. Without prejudice to Article 77 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 (7), the amount of the additional reduction provided for in Article 1 shall be calculated on the basis of the amounts of direct payments to which a farmer would be entitled before any reductions or exclusions are applied under Articles 6 and 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 or, in the case of aid schemes listed in Annex I of that Regulation but not falling under titles III and IV of that Regulation, under the specific legislation applicable thereto. 1.   Amounts withheld in accordance with Article 1 of this Regulation and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 shall be used for the payment of additional Community support at the latest by the end of the fourth financial year following that during which they are withheld.2.   The percentage of Community contribution to measures financed by amounts withheld in accordance with Article 1 shall be the same as that provided in the rural development programming document for the measure concerned.3.   A multiannual action shall not be alternately funded one year by the Community support referred to in Article 48(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 817/2004 and another year by funds resulting from the additional reduction under this Regulation.However, where the funds resulting from reduction under this Regulation are exhausted, the Member State may finance the multiannual action until it expires under the EAGGF ‘Guarantee’ Section according to Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999. The provisions laid down in Articles 2 and 3(6a)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 296/96 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the accounting of amounts withheld and expenditure generated under this Regulation. Member States shall, by 30 September each year, submit to the Commission an update of the allocation of amounts withheld in accordance with Article 1 together with the statement of expenditure referred to in Article 55 of Regulation (EC) No 817/2004. Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 963/2001 is replaced by the following‘1.   Amounts withheld in accordance with Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 shall be used for the payment of additional Community support provided for in Article 5(2) of that Regulation at the latest by the end of the third financial year following that during which they are withheld.’. Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 296/96 is replaced by the following:‘Article 6Amounts withheld in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 or Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 (8) and the possible interest thereon which have not been paid pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 963/2001 or Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1655/2004 shall be deducted from the advances related to the expenditure of October of the financial year concerned. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 January 2005.

5479,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 66/2012 of 25 January 2012 amending Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 laying down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Community and the quarantine conditions thereof  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17(3)(a) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 (2) lays down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Union. It provides that the birds covered by it are to be imported into the Union only if they originate from third countries or parts thereof referred to in Annex I thereto.(2) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 refers to the third countries or parts thereof which are listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Commission Decision 2006/696/EC (3) and from which imports of breeding or productive poultry other than ratites is permitted.(3) Decision 2006/696/EC was repealed and replaced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (4). The references to that Decision in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be replaced by references to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.(4) In addition, Argentina has requested the Commission to authorise imports into the Union of certain captive bred birds pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007. An inspection carried out by the Commission’s Food and Veterinary Office in Argentina including the follow-up actions undertaken by that third country demonstrated that Argentina provides appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Union rules required for imports into the Union of such birds.(5) Argentina is currently listed in the table set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008. However, imports of breeding or productive poultry other than ratites from that third country are not permitted. Argentina should therefore be included as a separate entry in the list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

whereas one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; whereas the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(4), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/98(5); whereas, however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community;(7) Whereas the level of refund for cheeses is calculated for products intended for direct consumption; whereas the cheese rinds and cheese wastes are not products intended for this purpose; whereas, to avoid any confusion in interpretation, it should be specified that there will be no refund for cheeses of a free-at-frontier value less than EUR 230,00 per 100 kilograms;(8) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(7), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another;

41375,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 653/2012 of 17 July 2012 initiating a 'new exporter' review of Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Taiwan, repealing the duty with regard to imports from one exporter in this country and making these imports subject to registration. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (""the basic Regulation"") (1) and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,After having consulted the Advisory Committee in accordance with Articles 11(4) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,Whereas:A.   REQUEST(1) The European Commission (""Commission"") has received a request for a ‧new exporter‧ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation.(2) The request was lodged on 27 April 2012 by Lealea Enterprise Co., Ltd. (""the applicant""), an exporting producer in Taiwan (""the country concerned"") of certain polyethylene terephthalate.B.   PRODUCT(3) The product under review is polyethylene terephthalate having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, according to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard 1628-5, originating, inter alia, in Taiwan (""the product under review""), currently falling within CN code 3907 60 20.C.   EXISTING MEASURES(4) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (2) under which imports into the Union of the product under review originating in Taiwan, including the product produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 143,4% with the exception of two companies specially mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates. In February 2012, the Commission initiated an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand (3), i.e. inter alia in Taiwan. Pending the completion of the expiry review investigation, the measures continue to be in force.D.   GROUNDS(5) The applicant claims that it did not export the product under review to the Union during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 October 1998 to 30 September 1999 (""the original investigation period"").(6) Furthermore, the applicant claims that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product under review which are subject to the above-mentioned anti-dumping measures.(7) The applicant further claims that it has begun exporting the product under review to the Union after the end of the original investigation period.E.   PROCEDURE(8) Union producers known to be concerned have been informed of the request for a review and have been given an opportunity to comment.(9) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‧new exporter‧ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which its imports of the product under review into the Union shall be subject.(10) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product under review from companies not individually mentioned in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007.(a)   Questionnaires(11) In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.(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.(13) Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.F.   REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS(14) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product under review which are produced and sold for export to the Union by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively to the date of the initiation of the review. The amount of the applicant's possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.G.   TIME-LIMITS(15) In the interest of sound administration, time-limits should be stated within which:(16) interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit any information to be taken into account during the investigation,(17) interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(18) 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 indicated in Article 3 of this Regulation.H.   NON-COOPERATION(19) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time-limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(20) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.(21) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.I.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION(22) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 11(5) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.J.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(23) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (4).K.   HEARING OFFICER(24) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time-limits and requests by third parties to be heard.

1946,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 240/95 of 7 February 1995 adopting further transitional measures relating to the detailed rules for the application of the support system for producers of oil seeds. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3116/94 (2), and in particular Articles 12 and 16 thereof,Whereas Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides for the payment of an advance to producers applying for an oil seeds compensation payment; whereas that payment should be made once entitlement thereto has been established by the Member States;Whereas Article 11 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 states that in order to qualify for the abovementioned advance payment, producers must fulfil certain obligations, including submitting an application with a detailed cultivation plan for the holding showing areas sown to oil seeds; whereas the Commission has adopted Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (3), providing for an integrated administration and control system with a single aid application; whereas payments should be made as early as possible to producers of winter rape meeting the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;Whereas only producers not opting for the simplified scheme referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 are entitled to apply for the oil seeds compensation payment provided for in Article 5 of that Regulation and accordingly to receive advances on that payment; whereas such producers are accordingly required to set aside part of the land of their holdings;Whereas the Commission cannot at this stage of the marketing year fix for 1995/96 the projected regional reference amount referred to in Article 5 (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas this situation should not, however, be allowed to affect the interests of rape seed producers sowing in 1994 with a view to a harvest in 1995, and in particular their possible entitlement to payment of advances;Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides for specific measures to facilitate the transition to the support system established by that Regulation, in particular where these will prevent difficulties in respect of certain products; whereas the compensatory payment for cereals increases annually until the end of the 1995/96 marketing year, whilst that for oil seeds does not; whereas during this transitional period an undue transfer of land from oil seed cultivation to cereal cultivation could occur which could cause difficulties in respect of both types of crops; whereas the payment of the advance in respect of winter rapeseed at the earliest possible date could help to maintain the level of oil seed cultivation and minimize such transfer of land; whereas to facilitate payment at the earliest possible date it is necessary to allow producers to establish their entitlement to receive the advance, in the first instance, on the basis of minimum details, namely the total area of winter rape together with an undertaking to provide any other information required in due time;Whereas any change in the area sown to winter rape would give rise to a disproportionate number of specific checks to ascertain that entitlement to payment of the advance continues to apply; whereas such changes should therefore be limited to those made inevitable by a failure to plant the crop on account of agronomical factors or weather conditions; whereas in that case only new sowing of oil seeds enables the abovementioned difficulties to be avoided;Whereas the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. 1. By way of a transitional measure, for the 1995/96 marketing year, and without prejudice to Article 2 (1) (c) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 (4), the Member States may set a closing date for producers sowing winter rape to submit applications for advances on compensatory payments for oil seeds.2. The closing date referred to in paragraph 1 above may not be later than the date for the submission of applications for compensatory payments referred to in Article 2 (1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92. Where Article 1 applies, the payment of the advance provided for in Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall be subject to a written declaration by the producer including at least a statement of:(a) the total area sown to winter rape for which they apply for an advance payment;(b) their irrevocable commitment to:- submit an application for the compensatory payment in due time in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92,- meet their obligation to set aside land and all the requirements laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92,- forego the option of the simplified scheme open to small producers,- not resow as a main crop the corresponding areas for that marketing year, except for agronomical or climatic reasons duly recognized by the competent authority of the Member State. In the latter case, the producer must resow an oil seed. Where Article 2 applies, the Member States shall be authorized to pay producers meeting the requirements laid down an advance equal to 45 % of the projected regional reference amount, calculated on the basis of figures forwarded to the Commission with their regionalization plans as they stand at the date referred to in Article 1 (1). 1. No advances shall be paid to producers excluded from the arable crop producers' support scheme in 1994/95, pursuant to the provisions of the third paragraph of Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92.2. The Member States shall conduct the necessary administrative checks before paying any advances. 1. The Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that producers' undertakings as set out in Article 2 above are met and to prevent areas for which the advance payment provided for in this Regulation is requested from receiving compensatory payments in respect of any other crop during the 1995/96 marketing year.2. The Member States shall notify the Commission of measures taken pursuant to this Regulation, and in particular those referred to in paragraph 1, no later than 30 days after the closing date for the submission of applications for advances.

39687,"Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 205/2011 of 28 February 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’), and in particular Article 9(4) and Article 11(3), (5) and (6) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘the Commission’) after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   PROCEDURE1.   Previous investigation and existing anti-dumping measures(1) In August 2001, by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating, inter alia, in India. The measures consisted of an ad valorem anti-dumping duty ranging between 0 % and 62,6 % imposed on imports from individually named exporting producers, with a residual duty rate of 53,3 % on imports from all other companies.(2) In March 2006, by Regulation (EC) No 366/2006 (3), the Council amended the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001. The anti-dumping duty imposed ranged between 0 % and 18 %, taking into account the findings of the expiry review of the definitive countervailing duties which are detailed in Regulation (EC) No 367/2006 (4).(3) In August 2006, by Regulation (EC) No 1288/2006 (5), the Council, following an interim review concerning the subsidisation of an Indian PET film producer, amended the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on that producer by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001.(4) In September 2006, by Regulation (EC) No 1424/2006 (6), the Council, following a new exporting producer request, amended Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 in respect of an Indian PET film producer. The amended Regulation established a dumping margin of 15,5 % and an anti-dumping duty rate of 3,5 % for the company concerned taking into account the company’s export subsidy margin as ascertained in the anti-subsidy investigation which led to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 367/2006. Since the company did not have an individual countervailing duty, the rate established for all other companies was applied.(5) In November 2007, by Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 (7), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of PET film originating in India following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation. By the same Regulation a partial interim review, pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, limited to one Indian exporting producer was terminated.(6) In January 2009, by Regulation (EC) No 15/2009 (8), the Council, following a partial interim review initiated by the Commission on its own initiative concerning the subsidisation of five Indian PET film producers, amended the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on these companies by Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 and the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 367/2006.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 also maintained the extension of the measures to Brazil and Israel with certain companies being exempted. The last amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 in this regard was made by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 806/2010 of 13 September 2010 amending Regulations (EC) No 1292/2007 and (EC) No 367/2006 as regards the granting of an exemption from the measures imposed under those Regulations to one Israeli exporter of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India and terminating the registration of imports from that exporter (9).(8) It should be noted that Vacmet India Limited is subject to a residual anti-dumping duty of 17,3 % on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007.2.   Existing countervailing measures(9) It should also be noted that Vacmet India Limited is subject to a countervailing duty of 19,1 % on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 367/2006.3.   Request for a partial interim review(10) On 7 August 2009, the Commission received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The request, limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was lodged by Vacmet India Limited, an exporting producer from India (‘the applicant’). In its request, the applicant claimed that the circumstances on the basis of which measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. The applicant provided prima facie evidence that the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to offset dumping.4.   Initiation of a review(11) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission announced on 14 January 2010, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (10) (‘notice of initiation’), the initiation of a partial interim review, in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping in respect of the applicant.(12) The partial interim review investigation was also to assess the need, depending on the review findings, to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from exporting producers in the country concerned not individually mentioned in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007, i.e. the anti-dumping duty rate as applying to ‘all other companies’ in India.(13) On 14 January 2010, the Commission also announced, by a notice of initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Union (11), the initiation of a partial interim review of the countervailing measures limited in scope to the examination of subsidisation as far as the applicant is concerned.5.   Investigation(14) The investigation of the level of dumping covered the period from 1 January to 31 December 2009 (‘review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).(15) The Commission officially informed the applicant, and the authorities of the exporting country and the Union industry, of the initiation of the partial interim review investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to be heard.(16) In order to obtain the information necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadline set for that purpose.(17) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant.B.   PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT1.   Product concerned(18) The product concerned by this review is the same as that defined in the Regulation imposing the measures in force (Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007), namely polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, originating in India, currently falling within CN codes ex 3920 62 19 and ex 3920 62 90.2.   Like product(19) As in previous investigations, this investigation has shown that PET film produced in India and exported to the EU and the PET film produced and sold domestically on the Indian market, as well as the PET film produced and sold in the EU by the Union producers have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and the same basic uses.(20) These products are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.C.   DUMPING(a)   Normal Value(21) In order to establish normal value, it was first determined whether the total volume of domestic sales of the like product was representative in accordance of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, namely whether these sales represented 5 % of the sales volume of the product concerned exported to the EU. The Commission established that the like product was sold domestically by the applicant in overall representative volumes. This representativity test was then carried out on a type-by-type basis. It was found that two types were not sold domestically at all.(22) The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of the like product could be regarded as being sold in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. This was done by establishing, for the like product sold on the Indian market, the proportion of profitable domestic sales to independent customers during the RIP. It was found that more than 90 % of the domestic sales were profitable.(23) For the product types sold domestically and which passed the representativity test mentioned in recital 21 above, it was established that for one product type, all domestic transactions were not profitable and thus were not made in the ordinary course of trade in accordance with Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.(24) For the product types which were sold in sufficient quantities and sold in the ordinary course of trade in India, normal value was established on the basis of prices paid or payable by unrelated customers pursuant to Article 2(1) of the basic Regulation. For the other types, namely the type mentioned in recital 23 above and the types not sold domestically, normal value was constructed on the basis of the costs of manufacturing incurred by the applicant for the exported model in question plus a reasonable amount for sales, general and administrative (SG&A) costs and for profit in accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation.(25) Given the high level of profitable domestic sales made in the ordinary course of trade, the SG&A costs and the profit were based on all domestic sales of the like product on the domestic market.(b)   Export price(26) In all cases where PET film was directly exported to independent customers in the EU, the export prices were established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of prices actually paid or payable.(27) For the export sales to the EU made through a related company, the export price was established on the basis of prices at which the imported products were first resold to an independent buyer in accordance with Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation.(28) For this purpose, adjustments were made for all costs incurred between importation and resale to the first independent customer in the Union market. A reasonable margin for SG&A costs and profit was also deducted for these sales. The percentages used to calculate the profit and the SG&A costs were in line with those reported in the Profit and Loss account of the related company.(c)   Comparison(29) The comparison between the weighted average normal value and the weighted average export price was made on an ex-works basis and at the same level of trade. In order to ensure a fair comparison between normal value and the export price, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. For this purpose, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences in transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs, commissions, financial costs and packing costs paid by the applicant where applicable and justified.(d)   Dumping margin(30) As provided for pursuant to Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by type was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison did not show the existence of dumping.D.   LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES(31) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances alleged by the applicant could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature.(32) The investigation showed that the indicative dumping margin calculated for the export sales of the applicant to third countries in the RIP was also negative. In terms of volume, these sales were several times higher than the export sales to the EU.(33) It was also found that the applicant made significant investments as from 2007 to improve its production process and to produce the basic raw material which is necessary for the production of the product concerned. These changes have resulted in, in particular, a reduction of costs and have thus explained the direct impact on the Company dumping margin. This change in circumstances can be considered to be of a lasting nature.(34) It was therefore considered that the circumstances that led to the initiation of this interim review are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future in a manner that would affect the findings of the present interim review. Hence, it was concluded that the changed circumstances are of a lasting nature and that the application of the anti-dumping measure at its current level is no longer justified.E.   ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES(35) In the light of the results of this review investigation, it is considered appropriate to amend the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of the product concerned from the applicant to 0 %.(36) Pursuant to Article 14(1) of the basic Regulation and Article 24(1), second subparagraph, of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (12), no product shall be subject to both anti-dumping and countervailing duties for the purpose of dealing with one and the same situation arising from dumping or from export subsidisation. As mentioned in recital 9 above, the applicant is subject to a countervailing duty. Since the anti-dumping duty established for the applicant is 0 % with regard to the product concerned, this situation does not arise in the present case.(37) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose to amend the duty rate applicable to the applicant and were given an opportunity to comment.(38) The oral and written comments submitted by the parties were considered and, where appropriate, the definitive findings have been modified accordingly,.

For the 2000/01 marketing year that quota is limited to 200000 tonnes. That quantity is to be imported between 1 January and 30 June 2001.(2) To ensure that imports of the cereals sector products covered by that tariff quota are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. The licences will be issued, within the quantities set, at the request of the interested parties after a period of reflection and subject, where appropriate, to the fixing of a reduction coefficient in respect of the quantities applied for.(3) To ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for lodging licence applications should be laid down and, notwithstanding Articles 8 and 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(2), the information to be included in the application and licences should be specified.(4) To take account of delivery conditions, the import licences should be valid from the day of their issue until the end of the month following that in which they are issued.(5) To ensure efficient management of the quota, the import licences should not be transferable and the import licence security should be fixed at a relatively high level, notwithstanding Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2110/2000(4).(6) For the same reasons rapid two-way communication must be established between the Commission and the Member States regarding the quantities applied for and imported.(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2809/2000(5) laying down detailed rules for the application of imports under the tariff quotas for products originating in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Romania lays down such provisions.

The finding of the novel A/H1N1 influenza virus in a swine herd in Canada is the first reported possible case of human-to-animal transmission of this particular new virus subtype. However, the importance of these findings is still to be fully understood and assessed by the scientific community once sufficient scientific data are made available.(5) The investigation of infection dynamics, pathogenesis, host susceptibility and transmissibility of the current novel A/H1N1 influenza virus in different animal species, and in particular in pigs is essential for providing the necessary scientific evidence for a veterinary risk assessment. A key output from the study will be the development of a ‘toolkit’ of reagents and materials for laboratory diagnosis.(6) These investigations should be incorporated into the 2009 annual work programme of the CRL for avian influenza which has already developed models for studying infection parameters and performed some testing with influenza viruses from a variety of sources. Complementary investigations will utilise pigs, and, through a combination of multi-factorial measurements will aim at providing evidence for susceptibility and potential consequences of infection of pigs with the novel A/H1N1 influenza virus. All experiments (both on animals and in laboratory) will be carried under strict respect of biosafety and biocontainment conditions already applied at the CRL for avian influenza.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1754/2006 provides that the financial assistance from the Community is to be granted if the approved work programmes are efficiently carried out and the beneficiaries supply all the necessary information within certain time limits.(8) The Commission has assessed the amended complementary work programme and corresponding amended budget estimates submitted by the CRL for avian influenza.(9) Accordingly, an additional Community financial assistance should be granted to the CRL for avian influenza to carry out the complementary investigations on the novel A/H1N1 influenza virus.(10) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (5), animal disease eradication and control programmes (veterinary measures) shall be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF). Furthermore, Article 13, second paragraph of that Regulation foresees that in duly justified exceptional cases, for measures and programmes covered by Council Decision 90/424/EEC (6), expenditure relating to administrative and personnel costs incurred by Member States and beneficiaries of aid from the EAGF shall be borne by the Fund and in this case the expenditure proposed qualifies as justified. For financial control purposes, Articles 9, 36 and 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 are to apply.(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,.

37927,"2010/389/: Commission Decision of 13 July 2010 repealing Decision 2006/109/EC accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain castings originating in the People’s Republic of China. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 8 and 9 thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 (2), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports into the Union of certain castings originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘the product concerned’). This Regulation was last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 500/2009 (3).(2) The Commission, by Decision 2006/109/EC (4) accepted a joint price undertaking (‘the undertaking’) from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronics Products (‘CCCME’) together with 20 cooperating Chinese companies or cooperating groups of companies (‘the companies’). This Decision was last amended by Commission Decision 2010/177/EU (5).(3) In the framework of the undertaking, the companies agreed, inter alia, not to sell the product concerned to the first independent customer in the European Union (‘EU’) below a certain minimum import price (‘MIP’) laid down in the undertaking.(4) The companies also agreed not to circumvent the undertaking by, inter alia, making compensatory arrangements with their customers and by making misleading declarations regarding the origin of the product concerned or the identity of the exporter.(5) The terms of the undertaking also oblige the companies to provide the European Commission (‘the Commission’) with regular and detailed information, in the form of a quarterly report of all their export sales of the product concerned to the EU. Unless otherwise indicated, it is assumed that the data submitted in these sales reports are complete, exhaustive and correct in all particulars and that the transactions fully comply with the terms of the undertaking.(6) For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the undertaking, the companies also undertook to allow on-spot verification visits at their premises in order to verify the accuracy and veracity of data submitted in the said quarterly reports and to provide all information considered necessary by the Commission.(7) Furthermore, and as further stipulated in the undertaking, the acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission is based on trust and any action which would harm the relationship of trust established with the Commission shall justify the immediate withdrawal of the undertaking.(8) In addition, Decision 2006/109/EC stipulates that a breach by any of the companies or the CCCME shall be considered as a breach of the undertaking by all signatories. The undertaking further stipulates that any breach or suspected breach of any provision of the undertaking shall lead to acceptance of the undertaking being withdrawn for all companies, regardless of the level of materiality of the breach.(9) A verification visit was carried out in 2010 at the premises of one of the co-signatories of the undertaking, Hebei Jize Xian Ma Gang Cast Factory (‘Ma Gang’) in the People’s Republic of China.(10) During the verification visit Ma Gang declared neither to be related to any other producer of the product concerned nor to sell the product concerned from any other producer under the terms of the undertaking.(11) Subsequent to the verification visit and in cooperation with the Italian customs authorities, the Commission’s services received information showing clearly that Ma Gang’s has been circumventing the terms of the undertaking in several ways since the acceptance of the undertaking.(12) It was found that Ma Gang set up a compensatory arrangement with at least one customer in the EU whereby an official invoice price at or above the MIP and a ‘real’ sales price below the MIP were agreed and the difference was re-transferred to the customer in the EU as ‘refund’.(13) Several e-mail exchanges from 2007 and 2008 between Ma Gang and a customer in the EU detail the compensatory arrangement, including calculation of the amount to be refunded and means to avoid traceability in the accounts of Ma Gang. Furthermore, a note of 2008 refers to the refund relating to two specific invoices (A714/TPL07002 and A714/TPL070921).(14) In was also found that Ma Gang offered to compensate the invoice price for product concerned by artificially lowering the sales price of a product not covered by anti-dumping measures.(15) There is evidence that Ma Gang provided misleading information during the verification visit in several regards.(16) Firstly, it was found that there is a relationship between Ma Gang and another Chinese producer of the product concerned (‘other company’) since in a number of e-mails reference is made to the fact that the owner of Ma Gang is the father of the owner of the other company. In addition, a high ranking manager of Ma Gang was at least until the end of 2008 working for the other company since the correspondence between the customer in the EU and Ma Gang was frequently made under the e-mail address and the fax number of the other company.(17) Secondly, there is evidence that Ma Gang breached its undertaking obligations by selling the product concerned produced by the other company under the terms of the undertaking, therefore making misleading declarations regarding the identity of the exporter. This practice allowed at least one customer in the EU to avoid payment of the residual anti-dumping duty rate of 47,8 % applicable to the other company.(18) Moreover, in 2006, Ma Gang has offered via an e-mail to tranship the product concerned via Korea. A contract issued by a company in Korea was attached to the offer.(19) From the facts set out in recitals 12 to 18 it is concluded that Ma Gang breached the undertaking in several regards.(20) Ma Gang continuously breached the MIP by means of a compensatory arrangement with at least one customer in the EU. Ma Gang has also made misleading declarations regarding the identity of the exporter by issuing undertaking invoices for sales of the product concerned produced by the other company not subject to the undertaking. Furthermore, Ma Gang has offered to issue misleading declarations regarding the origin of the product concerned. Moreover, giving incorrect information during the verification visit in January 2010 is considered as another breach of the undertaking.(21) Finally, the continuous and numerous breaches of the undertaking harmed the relationship of trust which formed the basis for the acceptance of the undertaking.(22) The company and CCCME were informed in writing of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the acceptance of the joint undertaking should be withdrawn and the definitive anti-dumping duties should apply.(23) Written submissions were made by CCCME within the time limits and a hearing was also requested and granted.(24) Ma Gang confirmed that a high ranking manager indeed violated the obligations of the undertaking as described above, but pointed out that this person acted without the knowledge of Ma Gang and was dismissed immediately. Ma Gang has also confirmed that they were related to the other company (the owners were father and son), albeit they operated independently. Finally, Ma Gang confirmed that they offered to tranship the product concerned via Korea but that this transhipment has never actually taken place.(25) CCCME did not contest that one co-signatory breached the undertaking. However, it submitted that a withdrawal for all co-signatories could be regarded as undue punishment for all other companies strictly abiding by the terms of the undertaking since its entry into force in 2006, in particular since numerous verification visits and intense monitoring activities had not brought to light any major implementation problem. CCCME also stressed that it had continuously worked on improving the implementation together with the companies concerned and that the indexed MIP had provided for an effective anti-dumping measure.(26) Moreover, CCCME submitted a draft agreement signed shortly after disclosure of the findings between CCCME and the all co-signatories except Ma Gang, in order to strengthen the monitoring responsibilities of CCCME even further, notably strengthening CCCME’s rights vis-à-vis every co-signatory.(27) In response to these submissions it should be stressed that the joint liability which was accepted by all co-signatories of the undertaking was an indispensable condition for the acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission. Therefore, and in view of the serious and continued breaches of the undertaking, the Commission has a duty to withdraw its acceptance immediately.(28) In view of the above, the acceptance of the undertaking should be withdrawn and Decision 2006/109/EC should be repealed. Accordingly, the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1212/2005 on imports of the product concerned produced by the companies should apply,. Decision 2006/109/EC is hereby repealed. This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union..

37977,"2010/476/EU: Commission Decision of 30 August 2010 amending Decision 2006/593/EC fixing an indicative allocation by Member State of the commitment appropriations for the Regional competitiveness and employment objective for the period 2007-2013 as regards the Czech Republic and Slovakia (notified under document C(2010) 5818). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions for the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (1), and in particular Article 18(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) By Decision 2006/593/EC (2), the Commission fixed an indicative allocation by Member State of the commitment appropriations for the Regional competitiveness and employment objective for the period 2007 to 2013.(2) In accordance with paragraph 10 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, in 2010 it has been established that the cumulated GDP for the years 2007 to 2009 in the Czech Republic, in Poland and in Slovakia has each diverged by more than ± 5 % from the cumulated GDP estimated in accordance with paragraph 9 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, including as a consequence of exchange rate changes. The amounts allocated for the period 2011 to 2013 to the Czech Republic and Slovakia should therefore be adjusted accordingly.(3) In accordance with points 16 and 17 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (3) on 16 April 2010 the Commission adopted the Communication on the technical adjustment of the financial framework for 2011 in line with movements in GNI, including the adjustment of amounts allocated from funds supporting cohesion to the Member States concerned by divergence between estimated and actual GDP for the period 2007-2009 (4), by which it informed that a positive adjustment is necessary for the Czech Republic of EUR 237 045 801 and for Slovakia of EUR 137 711 534, to be shared in equal amounts in 2011, 2012 and 2013.(4) In order to establish the amounts allocated to the Member States concerned, it is necessary to take into account the pro-rata allocation between the Convergence and Regional competitiveness and employment objectives in the current programming period 2007-2013 for each of the Member States concerned and the need to make the most efficient use of the allocation of the funds to projects currently being implemented. Therefore, this Decision should allocate only the part of the overall positive adjustments concerning the Regional competitiveness and employment objective.(5) Decision 2006/593/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,.

In order to avoid that these reference quantities are calculated on the basis of historic data which no longer reflect a genuine economic activity, it is appropriate to provide that the reference quantity should be the average of the quantities of garlic actually imported by a traditional importer during the three years which preceded the related import tariff quota period.(5) In order to ensure efficient market management, it is appropriate to provide for a time period during which applications for ‘A’ licences may be lodged which would be chronologically close to the subperiod for which the applications are lodged.(6) For the purpose of improving control and in order to allow a rapid reaction from the competent authorities in case of errors or malfunctioning of the system, the Member States should notify the Commission of the quantities for which licence applications have been lodged for the relevant subperiod.(7) The reference to working days when calculating the time periods could lead to different situations among the Member States. It is therefore appropriate to use calendar days instead.(8) Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) This Regulation should apply from 1 May 2010. However, in order to ensure that importers have sufficient time to adapt themselves to the new legal framework, the new provisions concerning the calculation of the reference period and the submission of proof of the actually imported garlic should only apply from 1 February 2011.(10) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

The current situation as regards implementation of the balance shows that the quantities laid down for supplying the two departments are insufficient to cover their needs.(3) By letter dated 6 June 2003, the French authorities therefore submitted a request for an amendment to the balance for Martinique and French Guiana in order to satisfy the supply needs of the two departments.(4) In the light of the supporting documentation provided, the quantities of cereals provided for in the forecast supply balance should be increased.(5) Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 contains a technical error concerning the quantities of products processed from fruit and vegetables falling within CN code 2008 intended for processing or packing in the Canary Islands. That error in the forecast supply balance for the Canary Islands should consequently be corrected.(6) Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 should therefore be amended and corrected.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committee for Cereals and the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,.

35255,"2008/745/EC: Commission Decision of 18 September 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of cyanamide 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) 5087) (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 to 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 cyanamide.(3) For cyanamide 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 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For cyanamide the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 3 January 2006.(4) The Commission examined cyanamide in accordance with Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. A draft review report for that substance was 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.(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, it was concluded, taking into account comments received from Member States, that there are clear indications that it may be expected that it has harmful effects on human health and in particular on operators, because the exposure is greater than 100 % of the AOEL. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member States in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of cyanamide 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 forwards by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing cyanamide satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(7) Cyanamide 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 cyanamide 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 cyanamide 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 cyanamide remain available for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for cyanamide in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), 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,. Cyanamide shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Member States shall ensure that:(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing cyanamide are withdrawn by 18 March 2009;(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing cyanamide 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 18 March 2010 at the latest.

The provisional Agreement applies from 1 January 2004.(2) The provisional Agreement will replace the relevant provisions in the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt signed on 18 January 1977 (2) and in the Agreement between the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt signed in Brussels on 18 January 1977 (3).(3) In the provisional Agreement, for Community imports of certain agricultural products originating in Egypt tariff concessions are granted at a zero-rate of customs duty within the framework of tariff quotas.(4) For certain agricultural products for which the tariff concessions under the Cooperation Agreement have applied within reference quantities, the provisional Agreement provides for the exemption of customs duties within tariff quotas or for the exemption of customs duties for unlimited volumes.(5) To implement the tariff concessions provided for in the provisional Agreement, it is necessary to replace the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 relating to tariff quotas and reference quantities for products originating in Egypt.(6) In accordance with the provisional Agreement, the volumes of the tariff quotas for certain products should, from the second year of application, be increased annually by 3 % of the volume of the previous year, and the volumes for the tariff quotas for other products should be fixed specifically for the first to the third and following years of application.(7) Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) For the purpose of the calculation of the tariff quotas for the first year of application, it is appropriate to provide, in accordance with the provisional Agreement, that the volumes of the tariff quotas for which the quota period starts before the date of entry into force of the provisional Agreement, should be reduced by a proportion relative to that part of the period which has elapsed before that date.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation. For the first year of application, the volumes of the Community tariff quotas with order numbers 09.1704, 09.1706, 09.1707, 09.1711, 09.1713, 09.1714, 09.1717, 09.1721 and 09.1725, for which the quota period starts before the date of entry into force of the provisional Agreement, shall be reduced by a proportion relative to that part of the period which has elapsed before that date. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 January 2004.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

These reviews were concluded by Council Regulation (EC) No 2496/97 (4). As a result of these reviews, measures were maintained but it was considered more appropriate to change the form of the measures from a fixed duty to an ad valorem duty. The duty rate amounted to 49 % of the cif price of the imports in question. In accordance with the lesser duty rule, this rate corresponded to the injury margin.(4) Following an expiry review, the Council concluded by Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 (5) that the anti-dumping duty should be maintained.2.   Request(5) On 6 March 2006, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate the alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of silicon, classifiable within CN code 2804 69 00 (silicon content less than 99,99 % by weight) originating in China. The request was submitted by Euroalliages (Liaison Committee of the Ferro-Alloy Industry) (the applicant) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, namely 100 %, of the Community production of silicon. The request alleged that the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of silicon originating in China were being circumvented by means of transhipment via the Republic of Korea (Korea).(6) The request further alleged that there was insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of anti-dumping measures for such change in the pattern of trade and that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures were being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of silicon from Korea appeared to have replaced imports of silicon from China. In addition, there was sufficient evidence that these imports were made at prices below the cost of production and reasonable profit established for the Community industry in the investigation that led to the existing measures.(7) Finally, the applicants alleged that the prices of silicon consigned from Korea were dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for silicon originating in China.3.   Initiation(8) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient prima facie evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation, the Commission initiated an investigation by Regulation (EC) No 607/2006 (6) (the initiating Regulation). Pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission, by the initiating Regulation, also directed the customs authorities to register imports of silicon consigned from Korea, whether declared as originating in Korea or not.4.   Investigation(9) The Commission officially advised the authorities of China and Korea, the producers/exporters and the importers in the Community known to be concerned as well as the applicant Community industry of the initiation of the investigation. Questionnaires were sent to the producers/exporters in Korea and to the Chinese and Korean authorities. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the initiating Regulation. All parties were informed that non-cooperation might lead to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation and to findings being made on the basis of the facts available.(10) No questionnaire replies were received from exporters/producers in China, nor did the Commission receive any comments from the Chinese authorities.(11) Two Korean companies offered to cooperate in the investigation. Only one of these imported silicon from China into Korea, but did not export it to the Community. The second cooperating Korean company neither produced nor imported silicon at all.5.   Investigation Period(12) The investigation period covered the period from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006 (the IP). Data was collected from 2001 up to the end of the IP to investigate the alleged change in the pattern of trade.B.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1.   General considerations/degree of cooperation(13) As mentioned in recital 10, no producers/exporters of silicon in China cooperated in the investigation nor did any Community importer submit information relevant for the investigation. As mentioned in recital 11, only two companies in Korea cooperated but they did not export silicon to the Community during the period considered. Accordingly, findings in respect of silicon consigned from Korea to the Community had to be made on the basis of the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.2.   Product concerned and like product(14) The product concerned is the same as in the original investigation, i.e. silicon originating in China classifiable within CN code 2804 69 00 (silicon content less than 99,99 % by weight). It is recalled that silicon with a higher purity, that is containing by weight not less than 99,99 % of silicon, used mostly in the electronic semi-conductor industry, falls under a different CN code and is not covered by this proceeding.(15) From the information received from the two cooperating Korean companies as well as information available in the request submitted by the applicant, it was concluded that silicon exported to the Community from China and silicon consigned from Korea to the Community have the same basic physical characteristics and the same uses. Therefore, they are considered as like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation. No submissions to the contrary were made during the investigation.3.   Change in the pattern of trade between third countries and the Community(16) As stated above, the change in the pattern of the trade was alleged to stem from transhipment via Korea.(17) Due to the absence of cooperation from Korean exporting companies, the volume and value of Korean exports of the product concerned to the Community were determined on the basis of the information available, which in this case was Eurostat import statistics.(18) The change in the pattern of trade is based on data from the first table reproduced below. Large volumes of silicon started to be imported from Korea into the Community in 2002 and 2003, and continued at a high level until the IP. The significant volumes of imports consigned from Korea between, in particular, 2003 and the IP, while fluctuating during this period, coincided with a substantial and continuing reduction (more than 50 %) of imports from China.Country 2002 2003 2004 2005 IP (April 2005-March 2006)China 39 705 56 226 55 939 30 346 22 358Korea 1 070 5 540 2 340 4 380 3 658Source: Eurostat.4.   Circumvention process found and insufficient due cause or economic justification(19) Since no Korean company which exported silicon to the EU cooperated in the present investigation, the assessment of circumvention was based on information available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, including information provided in the complaint. The investigation did not reveal information suggesting that that silicon was produced in Korea. On the contrary, both Korean cooperating companies confirmed that no production of silicon exists in Korea.(20) It is therefore concluded that, in the absence of any other sufficient due cause or economic justification within the meaning of the second sentence of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the change in the pattern of trade stemmed from the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of silicon originating in China and must be assumed, as the complainant states, to consist in transhipment through Korea.5.   Undermining of the remedial effects of the duty in terms of the prices and/or the quantities of the like product(21) It is evident from the data mentioned in recital 18 that a quantitative change in the pattern of Community imports of the product concerned occurred and that Chinese imports into the Community decreased significantly in 2005, while at the same time there was a surge of exports of the product concerned to the Community from Korea, a country where there is no production of silicon. It is therefore clear that the marked change in trade flows undermined the remedial effects of the measures in terms of the quantities imported into the Community market even if the imports from Korea during the IP amounted to significantly less than the reduction of imports from China between 2004 and the IP.(22) With regard to prices of silicon consigned from Korea, in the absence of cooperation, it was necessary to refer to Eurostat data. It was found that the average export prices from Korea to the Community were far below the sale prices and the costs of the Community industry as established in the investigation which led to the imposition of the current measures.Country 2002 2003 2004 2005 IP (April 2005-March 2006)China 1 063 1 000 1 026 964 1 001Korea 1 031 912 961 1 039 1 061Source: Eurostat.(23) It is therefore concluded that the imports of the product concerned from Korea undermine the remedial effects of the duty both in terms of quantities and prices.6.   Evidence of dumping in relation to the normal value previously established for the like product(24) As explained in recitals 10 and 11, given the absence of cooperation and in order to determine whether evidence of dumping could be found with respect to the exports of the product concerned to the Community from Korea during the IP, Eurostat data at CN level were used pursuant to Article 18 of the basic Regulation as the basis for establishing export prices to the EU.(25) In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, these export prices were compared with the normal value previously established, in this case the normal value established in the most recent expiry review.(26) In accordance with Article 2(11) and 2(12) of the basic Regulation, a comparison of the weighted average normal value as established during the expiry review investigation and the weighted average of export prices during this investigation’s IP, expressed as a percentage of cif price at the Community frontier duty unpaid, confirmed significant dumping.C.   MEASURES(27) In view of the findings above it is found that circumvention has taken place within the meaning of the second sentence of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation. In accordance with the first sentence of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned originating in China, should be extended to imports of the same product consigned from Korea, whether declared as originating in Korea or not.(28) The measures to be extended should be the ones established in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 398/2004, which are a definitive anti-dumping duty of 49 % applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before customs duty.(29) In accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, which provides that any extended measure should apply to imports which entered the Community under registration imposed by the initiating Regulation, duties should be collected on those registered imports of silicon consigned from Korea.D.   REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION(30) Although during this investigation no genuine producer/exporter of silicon to the Community was found to exist in Korea or made itself known to the Commission, any exporters concerned which consider lodging a request for an exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty pursuant to Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation will be required to complete a questionnaire in order to enable the Commission to determine whether an exemption may be warranted. Such exemption may be granted after the assessment of the market situation of the product concerned, production capacity and capacity utilisation, procurement and sales and the likelihood of continuation of practices for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification and the evidence of dumping. The Commission would normally also carry out an on the spot verification visit. The request should be addressed to the Commission forthwith, with all relevant information, in particular any modification in the company’s activities linked to production and sales.(31) Where an exemption is warranted, the Commission will, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, propose the amendment of this Regulation accordingly. Subsequently, any exemption granted will be monitored to ensure compliance with the conditions set therein.E.   PROCEDURE(32) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Council intended to extend the definitive anti-dumping duty in force and were given the opportunity to comment and to be heard. No comments which were of a nature to change the above conclusions were received,. 1.   The definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 on imports of silicon falling within CN code 2804 69 00 originating in the People’s Republic of China is hereby extended to imports of silicon, falling within CN code ex 2804 69 00 (TARIC code 2804690010), consigned from the Republic of Korea whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not.2.   The duties extended by paragraph 1 of this Article shall be collected on imports registered in accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 607/2006 and Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96.3.   The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply. 1.   Requests for exemption from the duty extended by Article 1 shall be made in writing in one of the official languages of the Community and must be signed by a person authorised to represent the applicant.

12317,"94/333/ECSC: Commission Decision of 29 March 1994 authorizing the grant by the United Kingdom of aid to the coal industry (Only the English 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 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),Whereas:I  In its letter of 17 February 1994 the United Kingdom notified the Commission, in conformity with Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of a financial measure it proposes to take in respect of the coal industry for the 1993 financial year, which  ends on 31 March 1994.The following aid is submitted for the approval of the Commission pursuant to Decision No 2064/86/ECSC:- aid for the constitution of a provision, for the 1993 financial year, totalling £120 million to cover operating losses incurred by underground coal-mining undertakings.The measure planned by the United Kingdom to support the coal industry complies with Article 1 (1) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC. Consequently, under Article 10 thereof the Commission must determine whether the measure is compatible with the objectives  and criteria laid down in the Decision and with the proper functioning of the common market.II  By Decisions 90/634/ECSC (2) and 91/221/ECSC (3) the Commission authorized aid to the United Kingdom coal industry for the financial years 1987, 1988 and 1989 totalling £6 153 million. Apart from covering operating losses, this aid served to write  off the losses in the value of fixed assets and to constitute provisions to cover compensation for hearing loss and for concessionary supplies of coal, smokeless fuel or, in certain cases, a payment in kind to mineworkers on retirement.Authorization was given in view of the fact that these measures facilitated the process of restructuring, rationalization and modernizing the United Kingdom coal industry in conformity with the objectives specified in Article 2 (1) of Decision No  2064/86/ECSC. The measures helped to improve the competitiveness of the industry through the closure of production capacity that offered no prospects of long-term economic viability and through the introduction of new production techniques or new  equipment for capacity offering prospects of long-term economic viability.On 25 March 1993, the United Kingdom published a White Paper on the prospects for coal. This document stresses the Government's commitment to make the United Kingdom coal industry fully competitive with imported coal and to privatize British Coal in the  near future.The reduction in world market prices coupled with the absence of outlets for this coal in the European Union has resulted in the process of restructuring of the United Kingdom coal industry being intensified. A large number of underground mines have  therefore had to be closed, or production in them has been stopped and the installations have been mothballed.To enable the restructuring process to form part of a rational coal-mining policy allowing certain pits the time necessary to increase their productivity and, from that position, to become competitive, the United Kingdom Government proposes to  constitute a provision not exceeding a total of £120 million to cover the operating losses of those pits.This aid should temporarily enable these pits to find a market among power stations for the disposal of their production. In the absence of this aid, these pits would be condemned to closing in the short term, which would increase the severity of the  social and regional problems related to the decline of this industry.III  The aid to cover the operating losses must be considered with regard to the objectives of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, in particular those specified in Article 2 (1). The fact that the aid forms part of a clearly defined restructuring plan aimed at  closing down production units that offer no prospects of economic viability or rationalizing installations to make them competitive in terms of production with imported coal and the temporary nature of the aid means that it is compatible with the  provisions of the Decision.The aid planned will not, according to the United Kingdom's notification, exceed the difference, for any quantity contracted, between the foreseeable average cost and the foreseeable average return per tonne and therefore complies with Article 3 (1) of  the Decision.The Commission is taking account, as provided for in Article 10 (4) of the Decision, in its assessment of the measure and the restructuring programme submitted to it, of the special situation of the United Kingdom coal industry as regards the objective  of making the industry competitive with imported coal.This aid will help to improve the competitiveness of the Community coal industry and to resolve the social and regional problems related to its development in conformity with the first and third indents of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.The United Kingdom will ensure that the aid does not lead to any discrimination, within the meaning of Article 4 (b) of the ECSC Treaty, between producers, between purchasers or between consumers.With regard to the constitution of a provision, the United Kingdom will inform the Commission each month, for monitoring purposes, of the amounts actually paid, the quantities covered and the beneficiary undertakings.IV  In the light of the above, and on the basis of the information supplied by the United Kingdom, the aid planned for the current production of the coal industry is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC and with the proper  functioning of the common market.This Decision covers the period until 31 December 1993, in conformity with Decision No 2064/86/ECSC. Should the United Kingdom decide to grant aid after this date, it shall notify this to the Commission in accordance with Commission Decision No  3632/93/ECSC (4).This Decision does not prejudice the compatibility of any contracts which might be concluded between coal and electricity producers, with the provisions of the Treaties,. The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to constitute a provision for the year 1993 of £120 million to cover operating losses of underground coal-mining undertakings. The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission each month of the payments actually made to beneficiaries from the provision authorized under Article 1 of this Decision and the quantities of coal covered.

8093,"90/627/EEC: Commission Decision of 4 July 1990 on loans granted by the Belgian authorities to two shipowners for the purchase of a 34 000 m³ LPG ship and two refrigerator ships (Only the French and Dutch texts are authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,Having regard to Council Directive 87/167/EEC of 26 January 1987 on aid to shipbuilding (1), and in particular Articles 3 and 4 (1), in conjunction with Article 4 (4) thereof,Having given notice to the parties concerned in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) and having regard to their comments,Whereas:IAs a result of information provided by an association of shipbuilders, the Commission's departments learned that the Boelwerf shipyard received orders for a 34 000 m3 LPG ship for Fertex, a shipping company, and for two refrigerator ships for another  shipping company, Europese Transport Maatschappij Crystal Prince. An 18-year loan at 2 % interest with a three-year grace period was granted under the Law of 23 August 1948 on shipping credit in respect of 85 % of the contract price in each case.In the first case, by letters dated 6 May 1989, the Commission asked the Belgian authorities to confirm the information. The Belgian authorities replied by letter dated 5 June 1989 that the contract was covered by financing repayable over 15 years,  starting three years after the delivery of the ship, without specifying the interest rate, and they stated that in any case the terms of the loan were in line with Directive 87/167/EEC. In addition, the Belgian authorities reminded the Commission of a  memorandum sent previously in which they stressed that shipping credit was directed at two objectives, i. e. shipbuilding on the one hand and the high operating costs of ships flying the Belgian flag on the other. Lastly, they stated that they could not  follow the Commission departments' calculation of the grant equivalent specified in the Commission's letter of 27 February 1989 terminating Article 93 (2) proceedings in respect of certain measures relating to the shipping sector in Belgium.Although incomplete, the information was deemed sufficient by the Commission to justify the initiation, on 25 October 1989, of proceedings under Article 93 (2). By letter dated 30 November 1989, the Commission informed the Belgian Government  accordingly, inviting it to submit its comments, and the other Member States and parties concerned were informed by means of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2).In the second case, the Belgian Government replied by letter dated 17 November 1989, confirming that the loan relating to the two ships covered 85 % of the price and was for 15 years at a 2 % interest rate, and that repayment was to commence only 36  months after the date of delivery.The Commission consequently initiated the procedure laid down in Article 93 (2) on 10 January 1990 and informed the Belgian Government accordingly by letter dated 3 April 1990. The other Member States and other parties concerned were informed by means  of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3).IIIn letters dated 6 February and 15 May 1990, in which it submitted its comments in response to the initiation of proceedings, the Belgian Government began by arguing that the contracts had been signed when the Belgian aid system had just been placed  under the authority of the Executive of the Flemish Region and that the latter had merely been applying the rules on the granting of loans in the same way as when the system was administered by the national authorities.It went on to reiterate that the Belgian scheme was made up solely of facilities granted to shipowners in the form of the advance of funds at a reduced interest rate, the provision of a guarantee and an interest rate subsidy, that the combined  application of these measures involved the simultaneous granting of production aid and operating aid and that a memorandum setting out this interpretation had already been sent to the Commission when the aid scheme was examined in the light of Directive  87/167/EEC.Since the Belgian Government granted interest rate subsidies on loans entered into by Belgian shipowners for the purchase of ships in third countries, it took the view that this involved only aid for the operation of ships and that accordingly this part  of the aid scheme established under the Law of 23 August 1948, where applied to contracts for ships built in Belgium, should not be included in the ceiling laid down in Article 4 (1) of Directive 87/167/EEC. It concluded its argument by stating that the  Flemish Executive had acted in good faith on the basis of an approach deriving from a misunderstanding which had arisen in the past between the Belgian Central Government and the Commission.IIIThe Belgian aid scheme falling under Articles 3 and 4 of Directive 87/167/EEC, as notified to the Commission by letter dated 15 January 1988, is governed by the Law of 23 August 1948, as amended on several occasions and most recently on 30 December  1980, and is intended to ensure the maintenance and development of the merchant fleet and sea fishing and for this purpose sets up a fund for shipping and shipbuilding.Article 1 (a) of the Law provides that the fund may grant advances covering up to 70 % of the value of a new ship. Article 1 (b) provides for a State guarantee in respect of supplementary loans contracted at market rates, and Article 1 (c) grants an  interest subsidy amounting to half of the interest rate on such loans, but not exceeding 3 %. However, the total amount of the advances and loans provided for in Article 1 (a) and (c) may not exceed 85 % of the price of the ship.The Law does not, however, stipulate at what rate or over what period the advance provided for in Article 1 (a) must be repaid. During the preparatory work on Directive 87/167/EEC, the Belgian Government informed the Commission of the rules for  repayment of advances granted under Article 1 (a) of the Law of 23 August 1948, stating that such advances covered a 15-year period. With a two-year grace period, and an interest rate of 4 to 5 %. These terms confirmed by the Belgian Government by  letter dated 21 March 1988 within the framework of the examination of all shipbuilding aid in Belgium under Article 10 of Directive 87/167/EEC.IVOn the basis of the terms for granting advances, guarantees and interest subsidies as notified to the Commission, and taking account of a market interest rate which at the time the contracts were concluded was 8,25 % in respect of the 34 000 m3 LPG ship  and the refrigerator ships, the grant equivalent of the advances granted by the Belgian Government under the Law of 23 August 1948, the calculation of which was duly explained to its authorities, should have been 20,5 %.VThe contracts in question were in fact accompanied by loans equivalent to 85 % of the price of the ship at a 2 % interest rate for a term of 15 years, with repayment starting only 36 months after the delivery of the ship. These terms mean that the loans  granted by the Belgian Government are equivalent to 35 %.VISince responsibility for administration of the fund set up under the Belgian Law of 23 August 1948 has devolved to the Executive of the Flemish Region, the latter body was responsible for the decisions taken as from 1 January 1989 in accordance with the  amendments made to the Belgian Constitution in 1988. This transfer of responsibility does not, however, excuse the Belgian Government or allow it to argue that the Executive of the Flemish Region was simply acting in good faith in maintaining continuity  in the application of the aid scheme, since Article 5 of the Treaty stipulates clearly that Member States shall take all appropriate measures, whether general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of the Treaty or resulting  from action taken by the institutions of the Community.Nor does the fact that the Belgian Government sent the Commission a memorandum stating that the Belgian aid scheme was partly intended to support shipyards and partly to support the operation of sea transport under the Belgian flag provide any  justification for the terms of the loan granted. The arguments set out in the memorandum merely reiterated the points which had been thoroughly discussed with the experts of the Member States during the preparatory work on Directive 81/363/EEC (4), and  it was advisedly, in order to ensure full transparency, that the Council of Ministers, with the backing of the Belgian Government, finally decided in adopting Directive 87/167/EEC to include all aid to shipowners, where such aid is linked to the  purchase of a ship in the Member States, in the ceiling provided for in Article 4 (1).It was therefore in full knowledge of the facts that the Belgian Government granted the loan in the case in point, and the fact of granting aid to shipowners in respect of ships built in third countries, under whatever pretext, does not in any way  justify the grant equivalent of such aid being deducted where aid is granted in respect of ships built in Belgium.VIIThe aid granted to shipowners in Belgium is aid within the meaning of Article 3 (1) and (2) of Directive 87/167/EEC, which stipulates that all forms of aid to shipowners or to third parties actually used for the building or conversion of ships in  Community shipyards (including credit facilities, guarantees and tax concessions) is subject in full to the rules set out in Article 4 of the Directive.Article 4 (1) states that production aid in favour of shipbuilding may be considered compatible with the common market provided that the total amount of aid granted in support of any individual contract does not exceed, in grant equivalent, a common  maximum ceiling which, as stipulated in Article 4 (2), is fixed by the Commission. Article 4 (4) further stipulates that the ceiling applies to aid falling within Article 3 (2).Since the ceiling was fixed for 1989 at 26 % and since the loan granted by the Belgian Government amounts to a grant equivalent of 35 %, it is clear that the Belgian Government has not complied with the rules laid down in Directive 87/167/EEC and hence  with the rules laid down in the Treaty,. The loans having a grant equivalent of 35 % granted by the Belgian Government to the shipping companies Fertex and Europese Transport Maatschappij Crystal Prince for the building, respectively, of a 35 000 m3 LPG ship and two refrigerator  ships in the Boelwerf shipyard are incompatible with the common market. Pursuant to Article 93 (2) of the Treaty, the Belgian Government shall revise the terms of the loans so as to reduce them to a maximum level of 26 % in grant equivalent terms, in line with the ceiling fixed by the Commission for 1989 in  accordance with Article 4 (2) of Directive 87/167/EEC. The Belgian Government shall inform the Commission of the measures which it has taken in order to comply with this Decision within two months of being notified of it. This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.. Done at Brussels, 4 July 1990.

The finalisation and adoption of those implementing measures will not be completed by 31 May 2001. Certain Council provisions repealed by Article 81 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 should accordingly be allowed to stand for a short additional period.(2) The extra transitional period does not affect the implementation of the bulk of the reform of the common organisation of the market in wine on the date set by the Council since the main points concerning the areas covered by those Regulations have been settled in Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 or in the implementing regulations already adopted.(3) Less progress has been made in adopting implementing measures in certain areas than in others, for example regarding the description, designation, presentation and protection of certain wine products, because of the complexity and sensitivity of the issues the Council has to deal with and the direct impact of any measures adopted on operators in the Community and in non-member countries. Provision should therefore be made for an extra transitional period in order to allow in-depth discussions to be held.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,.

That programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the expected deliverables, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost with a view to a possible Union financial contribution. The measures provided for in that programme fulfill the requirements of Decision 2007/609/EC. The Commission therefore considers that the requirements of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006, have been met.(3) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), the Union’s financial contributions to plant-health measures are to be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For the purposes of financial control of those measures Articles 9, 36 and 37 of that Regulation apply.(4) In accordance with Article 75 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (4) and Article 90(1) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (5), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated, setting out the essential elements of the action involving the expenditure.(5) The present decision constitutes a financing decision for the expenditure provided in the co-financing requests presented by Member States.(6) The measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,.

3266,"Council Regulation (EC) No 2370/2002 of 20 December 2002 establishing an emergency Community measure for scrapping fishing vessels. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 36 and 37 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Whereas:(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector (3) has afforded decommissioning incentives as a way of bringing about a balanced ratio of fleet capacity to available resources in the long term.(2) Several stocks of major importance to Community fisheries are now seriously depleted. The owners of fishing vessels whose fishing opportunities have been severely reduced as a result of a recovery plan adopted by the Council should therefore be offered additional decommissioning incentives on top of those already provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999. Sufficient additional funds should be made available to Member States for this purpose.(3) Only those vessel owners who are severely affected by a recovery plan should be afforded access to additional decommissioning incentives for the scrapping of fishing vessels defined by this Regulation. A reduction of 25 % or more in the fishing opportunities of the vessel concerned should be regarded as an objective indicator of severe impact.(4) The maximum amounts for the scrapping premiums laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 are insufficient to enable the higher premiums to be paid.(5) For conservation reasons the Community measure should be established as soon as possible and should be limited in time to ensure that suitable restructuring of the fleet can proceed without delay.(6) It is necessary to ensure adequate flexibility of the distribution of the additional scrapping funds to allow them to be directed to those Member States most in need.(7) The roles of all parties involved in the implementation of the financial measure should be clearly defined and steps taken to guarantee the transparency and equity of the procedures for the management and monitoring of the measure.(8) Rules on the financial contributions made under this Regulation should be defined by reference to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999.(9) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4).(10) It is necessary and appropriate for the achievement of the basic objective of this Regulation, namely the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources, to lay down rules on the scrapping of fishing vessels. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,. TITLE I   SUBJECT MATTER AND ELIGIBILITY Subject matterAn emergency Community measure to assist Member States to achieve additional reductions in fishing effort resulting from recovery plans adopted by the Council is hereby instituted for the period from 2003 to 2006. The measure shall consist of a special incentive to provide Member States with funds to co-finance their additional needs to scrap fishing vessels affected by recovery plans. EligibilityAny fishing vessel covered by a recovery plan adopted by the Council shall be eligible for an increased scrapping premium in accordance with Article 3 provided that:(a) the fishing vessel is also eligible for scrapping premiums under Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999,(b) its fishing effort has had to be reduced by 25 % or more as a consequence of a recovery plan. Maximum amount of increased scrapping premiumOwners of fishing vessels may be granted public aid in respect of eligible fishing vessels within the meaning of Article 2 on the basis of the scales referred to in point (a) of Article 7(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, increased by 20 %.TITLE II   YEAR 2003 Financial contribution from the CommunityThe Community may grant Member States, for the year 2003, a financial contribution (hereinafter ‘financial contribution’) for their expenditure incurred under Article 3. The financial contribution shall be calculated in accordance with the rates set out in Table 3, Group 1 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999. Forecast programmes of annual expenditureMember States wishing to receive a financial contribution shall present to the Commission by 30 June 2003 a plan of their proposed decommissioning expenditure for the year 2003, under this emergency Community measure. The Commission shall proceed with the commitment of the global annual amount available in the budget for this emergency Community measure. Procedure1.   Member States shall submit their applications for the payment of the expenditure by 30 June 2004. On the basis of the applications, and the situation of each Member State in respect of the impact of recovery plans, the Commission shall decide on the financial contribution to be paid to each Member State. The Commission shall pay up to 50 % of the assistance on receipt of the application and the balance after certification by the authorities referred to in paragraph 2.2.   The authorities responsible for the implementation of this emergency Community measure shall be the managing and paying authorities involved in structural fund measures concerning fisheries in the relevant Member State. They shall perform the functions assigned to them by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the structural funds (5).3.   Except in the case of contrary provisions arising form this Regulation, the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular Articles 33 to 39, as well as derived legislation, shall apply.TITLE III   PERIOD 2004-2006 For the period 2004-2006 the necessary funds for financing the emergency Community measure for scrapping fishing vessels shall be made available by reprogramming of the Structural Funds provided for in Articles 41 and 44 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and be programmed within the existing Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance programmes.TITLE IV   IMPLEMENTATION AND ENTRY INTO FORCE ImplementationThe detailed rules for the implementation of this Regulation shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (6).

16205,"97/471/EC: Council Decision of 22 July 1997 providing macro-financial assistance for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,Having regard to the proposal of the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Whereas the Commission has consulted the Monetary Committee before submitting its proposal;Whereas the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and is making substantial efforts to establish an open market economy;Whereas the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the European Community have signed a Cooperation Agreement and an Agreement in the field of transport which will help the development of a full cooperation relationship;Whereas the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a comprehensive set of stabilization and policy reform measures to be supported by a loan under the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF);Whereas the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has agreed with the World Bank on a comprehensive set of structural adjustment measures to be backed by a Structural Adjustment Loan and Credit;Whereas the authorities of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have requested financial assistance from the international financial institutions, the Community and other bilateral donors; whereas, over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, an important residual financing gap remains to be covered in the remainder of 1997 in order to strengthen the country's reserve position and support the policy objectives attached to the government's reform effort;Whereas the authorities of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have committed themselves to fully discharge their outstanding financial obligations towards the European Community and the European Investment Bank;Whereas a Community long-term loan to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is an appropriate measure to help ease the country's external financial constraints, supporting the balance of payments and strengthening the reserve position;Whereas the Community loan should be managed by the Commission;Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,. 1. The Community shall make available to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia a long-term loan facility of a maximum principal amount of ECU 40 million with a maximum maturity of fifteen years, with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and strengthening the country's reserve position.2. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the European Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the form of a loan.3. This loan will be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Monetary Committee and in a manner consistent with any agreement reached between the IMF and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. 1. The Commission is empowered to agree with the authorities of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, after consultation with the Monetary Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the loan. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1 (3).2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee and in coordination with the IMF, that the economic policy in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is in accordance with the objectives of this loan and that its conditions are being fulfilled. 1. The loan shall be made available to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in two tranches. The first tranche is to be released subject to the provisions of Article 2 and after the full settlement of all due financial obligations of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia towards the Community and the European Investment Bank.2. Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the second tranche shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory track record in the implementation of the ESAF programme and not before three months after the release of the first tranche.3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. 1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest rate risk, or in any other commercial risk.2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia so requests, to ensure that an early repayment clause is included in the loan terms and conditions and that it may be exercised.3. At the request of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate on the loans, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average maturity of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.4.

2705,"84/224/EEC: Commission Decision of 11 January 1984 on the aid provided for in Campania to support the production of apricots (Only the Italian text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3284/83 (2), and in particular Article 31 thereof,After having given notice, pursuant to the provisions of the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty, to those concerned to submit their observations (3),IWhereas by letter dated 28 March 1983 the Italian Government, pursuant to Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, notified the draft Law of the region of Campania laying down provisions for rationalizing the cultivation of apricots;Whereas the measure provides for the grant, in 1982, of Lit 1 000 million to apricot producers; whereas this amount is payable in the form of a subsidy of Lit 200 000 per hectare, which may be increased to Lit 700 000 per hectare in areas especially suited to the cultivation of apricots;Whereas the Commission, after having examined the aid, informed the Italian Government by letter dated 3 June 1983 that the subsidy, granted by reference to areas cultivated and reserved on a priority basis for producers who, in absence of suitable cultivation techniques, encountered marketing difficulties during the 1980/81 marketing year, constituted an infringement of the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables; whereas, for these reasons and in view of the fact that the measure cannot be justified in the light of the provisions of Article 92 of the EEC Treaty, the Commission initiated the procedure laid down in Article 93 (2) of the Treaty and gave the Italian Government notice to submit its comments;Whereas in accordance with that procedure the Commission gave the other Member States and interested parties other than Member States notice to submit their comments;Whereas by letter No 6772 of 2 August 1983 the Italian Government replied to the Commission's letter of 3 June 1983, drawing its attention to the fact that the measures complained of should be considered in the light of Council Directive 72/159/EEC;Whereas the text of the draft Law contains nothing from which it can be inferred that the aid provided for is governed by Directive 72/159/EEC; whereas an aid granted per hectare that is not conditional on the making of investments and is not calculated in relation to investments made or to be made constitutes an income subsidy and is not to be considered in the light of the said Directive; whereas the Italian Government's reply has no foundation, therefore, in the draft Law for the region;IIWhereas the subsidy in question artificially promotes the increase or - at least - the maintenance at current levels of apricot production in Campania; whereas it can reasonably be assumed, moreover, that this aid may in practice result in the product being supplied at prices lower than those which would have to be charged in the absence of such assistance from the public authorities;Whereas the payment of a price supplement ensuring a guaranteed price to apricot producers constitutes a national intervention measure which affects the income of those producers; whereas it is therefore an infringement of the provisions governing the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables;Whereas there are limitations on the power of Member States to intervene directly in the operation of the common organization of markets that include a common price system, which henceforth fall within the Community's exclusive competence; whereas this principle is based on the established case law of the Court of Justice; notably on the judgment delivered on 23 January 1975 in Case 51/74 (1); whereas that judgment stresses in general, as stated by the Advocate-General in his opinion in Case 10/79, that once the Community has legislated for establishment of a common organization of the market in a given sector, Member States are under an obligation to refrain from taking any measure which might undermine it or create exceptions to it; whereas in doing so they must have regard not only to its express provisions but also to its aims and objectives;Whereas the granting of the aid referred to fails to recognize the principle that Member States are no longer empowered to legislate unilaterally on farmers' incomes, where there is a common organization of the market, by granting aids of this type.IIIWhereas the measures are liable to affect intra-Community trade and disturb competition by favouring Italian producers at the expense of producers in other Member States who are called upon to sell the same product on the Community market but are not in receipt of comparable aids;Whereas the measures in question consequently satisfy the criteria of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty; whereas that Article provides that aids which satisfy the criteria which it sets out are incompatible, as a matter of principle, with the common market;Whereas the measure is not one which will encourage the economic development of regions where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious under-employment, nor is it a measure intended to promote an important project of common European interest, or to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of the Member State in question, and accordingly Article 92 (3) (a) and (b) of the EEC Treaty is inapplicable;Whereas, moreover, the exceptional subsidy for the income of farmers concerned is an operating aid for the recipient farms of a purely protective nature; whereas, in general, the Commission has always been opposed to such aids, since they are not likely to facilitate in a lasting manner the development of activities in the sector concerned;Whereas, moreover, in view of the comparable economic situation facing farmers in all the Member States, with stagnating or falling incomes and sharply rising production costs, and taking into account the appreciable or even keen intra-Community competition in most agricultural products, this aid is likely to affect the conditions of trade to an extent contrary to the common interest;Whereas, accordingly, there is no factor which would enable the Commission to declare that the measure under consideration is not incompatible, by invoking the exception provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty;Whereas, therefore, the Italian Government's aid measure does not fulfil the conditions required for eligibility for one of the exceptions under Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty;Whereas, moreover, even if it had been possible to envisage an exception under Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the fact that the aid, in respect of the product concerned, infringes the market organization in question makes it impossible to apply any such exception,. The subsidy of Lit 200 000 per hectare, which is increased to Lit 700 000 per hectare in areas that are especially suited to the production of apricots, provided for in the draft Law of the region of Campania laying down provisions for rationalizing the cultivation of apricots is incompatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92 of the EEC Treaty.Consequently, the draft Law may not be adopted and the aid referred to above may not be granted. Italy shall take the measures necessary to ensure compliance with this Decision. It shall inform the Commission thereof within one month from notification of this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic..

35427,"Commission Directive 2008/80/EC of 28 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include cyclohexylhydroxydiazene 1-oxide, potassium salt (K-HDO) as an active substance in Annex I thereto (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes cyclohexylhydroxydiazene 1-oxide, potassium salt (K-HDO).(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, K-HDO has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 22 March 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 22 February 2008, in an assessment report.(5) Although the risk assessment was limited to very specific application systems, it appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing K-HDO may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include K-HDO in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing K-HDO can be granted, modified or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the Community level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States pay particular attention to the risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Community level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to mitigate the identified risks to acceptable levels.(7) In particular, in view of the possible risks for the environment and workers, authorisations for products to be used in other systems than industrial, fully automated and closed ones should not be granted unless the application for product authorisation demonstrates that risks can be reduced to acceptable levels in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC and Annex VI thereto.(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that products containing K-HDO be used with appropriate protective equipment. In view of the risks identified for infants, it is also appropriate to require that K-HDO not be used for the treatment of wood that may come in direct contact with infants.(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance K-HDO and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing K-HDO to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

4693,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 165/2008 of 22 February 2008 concerning the authorisation of a new use of 3-phytase (Natuphos) as a feed additive (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) The application concerns authorisation of a new use of the enzyme preparation 3-phytase (Natuphos 5000, Natuphos 5000 G, Natuphos 5000 L, Natuphos 10000 G and Natuphos 10000 L) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 101.672) as a feed additive for ducks, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.(4) The use of that preparation was authorised for weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 243/2007 (2) and for laying hens and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1142/2007 (3).(5) New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation for ducks. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinions of 18 September 2007 that the enzyme preparation 3-phytase (Natuphos 5000, Natuphos 5000 G, Natuphos 5000 L, Natuphos 10000 G and Natuphos 10000 L) produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 101.672) does not have an adverse effect on consumers, users or the environment (4). According to that opinion, the use of that preparation does not have an adverse effect on this additional animal category and it is efficacious in improving digestibility of feedingstuffs. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(6) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

24895,"2003/3/EC: Commission Decision of 17 December 2002 on a request from Greece for authorisation to use heavy fuel oils with a maximum sulphur content of 3 % by mass in part of its territory (notified under document number C(2002) 2475). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 1999/32/EC of 26 April 1999 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels and amending Directive 93/12/EC(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 3(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 3(1) of Directive 1999/32/EC Member States are required to take all necessary steps to ensure that as from 1 January 2003 within their territory heavy fuel oils are not used if their sulphur content exceeds 1 % by mass.(2) Pursuant to Article 3(2), of that directive a Member State may, under certain conditions, authorise heavy fuel oils with a sulphur content of between 1 % and 3 % by mass to be used in part or the whole of its territory.(3) Greece applied on 17 December 2001 for the Commission's approval for the authorisation of the use of heavy fuel oil with a maximum sulphur content of 3 % by mass in the whole of its territory, except for the Attica Basin. Greece states that a maximum sulphur content of 3 % by mass is 10 % lower than that of the heavy fuel oil currently in use.(4) The Commission requested additional information from the Greek authorities on 23 January 2002. Greece submitted this information on 19 February 2002 and subsequently revised its request on 4 June 2002 to seek a time-limited derogation until 2008 with a review for the remaining period.(5) Greece provided data stating that the relevant Community ambient air quality standards for sulphur dioxide set down in Council Directive 80/779/EEC of 15 July 1980 on air quality limit values and guide values for sulphur dioxide and suspended particulates(2) and Council Directive 1999/30/EC of 22 April 1999 relating to limit values for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and lead in ambient air(3), as amended by Commission Decision 2001/744/EC(4), are complied with. In addition, on the basis of indicative measurements taken at three representative points, which coincide with ecosystem zones, concentrations for sulphur dioxide in ambient air are below the 20 Îźg/m3-limit value for the protection of ecosystems set out in Directive 1999/30/EC. Greece states that in general concentrations of sulphur dioxides in ambient air within its territory are low, nevertheless, in areas surrounding major thermal stations powered with lignite concentrations are higher. However, measurements provided by Greece, from monitoring stations several kilometres from the lignite-powered stations are within the relevant limit values set out in Directive 80/779/EEC as amended by Directive 89/427/EEC(5).(6) Greece states that emissions of sulphur dioxide presently amount to approximately 483000 tonnes per annum. However, the level of emissions is expected to fall to 300000 tonnes per annum due to increasing use of natural gas in the thermal power generation sector and due to measures that will be required to comply with Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants(6).(7) Greece states that while it makes virtually no contribution to the deposition of sulphur or the critical loads for acidity being exceeded in other Member States, it acknowledges that it contributes 1 % of the sulphur deposition in Italy.(8) The Commission requested the help of the cooperative programme for monitoring and evaluation of the long range transmission of air pollutants in Europe (EMEP), which conducted a more detailed analysis of the Greek contribution to sulphur deposition, in particular in Italy, where critical loads for acidity are exceeded in 5 % of the ecosystems that are sensitive to acidification.(9) The results of this analysis by EMEP, contained in reports of 22 February and 22 March 2002 show that approximately 57 % of the Greek sulphur dioxide emissions originate outside the Attica Basin and that the geographical area affected by these emissions extends over the whole of Europe as a consequence of the long range transport.(10) In the case of Italy, the EMEP analysis shows that Greek emissions contribute to critical loads for acidity being exceeded in at least six grid squares where exceedances of critical loads were established. In those grid squares the contribution from Greece does not exceed 0,5 %. EMEP concludes that this analysis is in agreement with calculations that assign 1 % of the total sulphur deposition in Italy to Greece.(11) On 5 July 2002, the Greek authorities announced that the already submitted notification was incomplete and that additional information would be submitted by the end of July. By letter of 15 July 2002, the Commission took note of the above and requested the Greek authorities to provide the announced information as soon as possible, indicating that the period of six months set up in Article 3(5) of the Directive would start to run when such information was received.(12) On 30 July 2002 the Greek authorities submitted data on sulphur dioxide emissions in Greece for the year 2000 and suggested that the Greek request should be examined on the basis of this data. On 3 October 2002, they also submitted a recent assessment of the protection level of ecosystems in Italy with a view to the Greek contribution to exceedance of critical loads for acidity.(13) The Commission requested EMEP to evaluate the additional information provided by Greece on 30 July and 3 October 2002, respectively. Supported by the Coordination Centre for Effects on Mapping of Critical Levels and Loads (CCE) EMEP confirmed the former conclusion that Greek emissions of sulphur dioxide as reported by Greece for the year 2000 contribute to the exceedance of critical loads for acidity in Italy. The results are summarised in a report of 19 November 2002, according to which it is substantiated beyond any reasonable doubt that Greek emissions do contribute to excess deposition above the critical loads for acidification in other Member States, particularly Italy.(14) In light of the information provided by Greece on ambient air quality and the analysis conducted by EMEP supported by CCE on the Greek contribution to critical loads being exceeded, the Commission considers that the condition, as adopted by the Council, regarding critical load exceedance, that must be complied with for a Member State to be permitted to authorise the use of heavy fuel oils with a sulphur content of between 1 % and 3 % by mass in part or the whole of its territory, is not met and therefore the Commission cannot grant the derogation requested by Greece.(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 9 of Directive 1999/32/EC,. The request by Greece to authorise the use of heavy fuel oils with maximum sulphur content of between 1 % and 3 % by mass in part of its territory from 1 January 2003 is denied.

Therefore, fosthiazate was included in Annex I to that Directive with the specific provisions that Member States may only authorise uses as nematicide.(3) In addition to the control of nematodes in certain agricultural uses, the notifier now has applied for an amendment to those specific provisions as regards the control of insects. In order to support such an extension of the use, the notifier submitted additional information.(4) The Netherlands and the United Kingdom evaluated the information and data submitted by the company. They informed the Commission in May and November 2006, respectively, that they conclude that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for fosthiazate in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. This is particularly the case since the extension only concerns the organisms controlled, but not the application parameters as set out in the specific provisions of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(5) Therefore it is justified to modify the specific provisions for fosthiazate.(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC 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 I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

The maturing process lasts for at least 10 days.4.6.   LinkThis Touraine goat’s cheese has been distinct from those in neighbouring regions since the 18th century, having adopted an original shape, which, according to tradition, is modelled on that of the Pouligny church tower. It very quickly became renowned for its authenticity, something which was confirmed when it was awarded a prize in the 1901 Paris competition. At a very early stage, the producers' group took steps to maintain the specific nature of the cheese, and in 1976 achieved recognition in the form of designation of origin status being granted.The area in question enjoys reliable conditions with regard to climate (warmer and drier weather than in surrounding areas), geology (low quality soil with a high clay and sand content) and flora which encourages the rearing of goats and has therefore resulted in the traditional production of this cheese.4.7.   Inspection bodyName: Institut national de l’origine et de la qualité (INAO)Address: 51 rue d’Anjou, 75008 Paris, FRANCETel. + 33 153898000Fax + 33 153898060E-mail: info@inao.gouv.frThe Institut National des Appellations d’Origine is a public administrative body with legal personality and reports to the French Ministry of Agriculture.It is responsible for monitoring the production conditions for products with a designation of origin.Name: Direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des fraudes (DGCCRF)Address: 59, boulevard Vincent Auriol, 75703 Paris Cédex 13, FRANCETel. +33 144871717Fax +33 144973037The DGCCRF is a department of the French Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industry.4.8.   LabellingThe labelling for the cheese must contain the name of the designation of origin (Pouligny-Saint-Pierre) in characters at least two-thirds the size of the largest characters on the label.

The Community will further develop the European University Network established within the Erasmus programme and designed to stimulate Community-wide exchange of students.The European University Network will be composed of those universities which, in the framework of the Erasmus programme, have concluded agreements and organize programmes providing for exchanges of students and teachers with universities of other Member  States and ensuring full recognition of study periods thus accomplished outside the home university.The main aim of inter-university agreements is to give the students of one university the opportunity to undertake a fully recognized period of study in at least one other Member State, as an integral part of their diploma or academic qualification.  These joint programmes could include as necessary an integrated period of foreign language preparation as well as cooperation among teachers and administrative staff in order to prepare the conditions necessary for the exchange of students and for the  mutual recognition of periods of study accomplished abroad. Wherever possible, the preparation in the foreign language should be commenced in the country of origin before departure.Priority will be given to programmes involving an integrated and fully recognized period of study in another Member State. For each joint programme, each participating university will receive support of up to an annual ceiling of ECU 25 000 for a  maximum period of three years in the first instance subject to periodic review.2.  Support will also be provided for exchanges of teaching staff for the purpose of carrying out integrated teaching assignments in other Member States.3.  Support will also be provided for joint curriculum development projects between universities in different Member States as a means of facilitating academic recognition and of contributing by means of an exchange of experience to the process of  innovation and improvement of courses on a Community-wide basis.4.  In addition, grants of up to ECU 20 000 will be provided to universities organizing intensive teaching programmes of short duration involving students from several different Member States. This action will be of a complementary nature.5.  The Community will also provide support for teaching staff and university administrators to carry out visits to other Member States, to enable them to prepare programmes of integrated study with universities of these Member States and to increase  their mutual understanding of the training aspects of the higher education systems of other Member States. Grants will also be provided to allow teaching staff to conduct a series of specialized lectures in several Member States.ACTION 2  Erasmus student grants scheme1.  The Community will further develop a scheme for the direct financial support of students at universities as defined in Article 1 (2) carrying out a period of study in another Member State. In determining the total expenditure for Actions 1 and 2  respectively, the Community will have regard to the number of students to be exchanged within the European University Network as it develops.2.  The Erasmus student grants are administered through the competent authorities of the Member States. In view of the development of the European university network, the Member States shall each be paid a minimum of ECU 200 000 (the equivalent of  approximately 100 grants); the remainder shall be allocated to each Member State on the basis of the total number of students at universities as defined in Article 1 (2), as well as on the totalnumber of 18 to 25-year-olds in each Member State, the average cost of the journey between the country of the university of the student's country of origin and that of the host university as well as on the difference between the cost of living in the  country of the home university and that of the host university.Moreover, the Commission will take the necessary steps to ensure balanced participation across the various subjects, to take account of the demand for programmes and of student flow and to deal with certain specific problems, in particular the financing  of certain grants which, because of the structure of the exceptional programmes concerned, cannot be administered by national agencies. The proportion available for such measures shall not exceed 5 % of the total annual student grants budget.3.  The grant-awarding authorities of the Member States will issue grants up to a maximum of ECU 5 000 per student for a stay of one year, subject to the following conditions:(a)  the grants are intended to offset the additional costs of mobility, that is travel costs, foreign language preparation as necessary and higher cost of living in the host country (including, where appropriate, the extra cost of living away from the  student's home country). They do not aim to cover the full cost of study abroad;(b)  priority will be given to students on courses which are part of the European University Network under Action 1 as well as to those students participating in the European Community Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS) pursuant to Action 3. Grants  may also be provided for other students on courses for whom special arrangements are made outside the network in another Member State provided they fulfil the eligibility criteria;(c)grants will be awarded only in cases where the period of study spent in another Member State will be granted full recognition by the student's home university. However, grants may be awarded exceptionally in cases where the period of study to be spent  in another Member State will be granted full recognition by the degree-awarding university in that Member State, provided that this arrangement forms part of an inter-university agreement supported pursuant to Action 1;(d)no tuition fees will be charged by the host university to incoming students; where appropriate, grantholders will continue to pay tuition fees at their home university;(e)grants will be awarded for a significant period of academic study in another Member State of three months to a full academic year, or to more than 12 months in the case of highly integrated programmes. Grants will not normally be awarded for the first  year of university study;(f)any grants or loans available to students in their own country will continue to be paid in full during their period of study at the host university for which they are receiving an Erasmus grant.ACTION 3  Measures to promote mobility through the academic recognition of diplomas and periods of studyThe Community will undertake, through cooperation with the competent authorities in the Member States, the following actions in order to promote mobility through the academic recognition of diplomas and periods of study acquired in another Member State:1.  measures to promote the European Community Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS) on an experimental and voluntary basis in order to provide a means by which students undergoing or having completed higher education and training may receive credit for  such training carried out at universities in other Member States. A limited number of grants of up to ECU 20 000 per year will be awarded to the universities participating in the pilot system;2.  measures to promote the Community-wide exchange of information on the academic recognition of diplomas acquired and periods of study spent in another Member State, notably by means of the further development of the European Community Network of  national academic recognition information centres; annual grants of up to ECU 20 000 will be awarded to the centres to facilitate exchange of information, in particular by means of a computerized system for data exchange.ACTION 4  Complementary measures to promote student mobility in the Community1.  The complementary measures are intended to finance:- support to association and consortia of universities, teaching staff, administrators or students acting on a European basis, in particular with a view to making initiatives in specific fields of training better known throughout the Community;- publications designed to enhance awareness of study and teaching opportunities in the other Member States or to draw attention to important developments and innovative models for university cooperation throughout the Community;- other initiatives designed to promote inter-university cooperation in the field of vocational training within the Community;- measures facilitating the dissemination of information on the Erasmus programme;- Erasmus prizes of the European Community to be awarded to students, staff members, universities or Erasmus projects which have made an outstanding contribution to the development of inter-university cooperation within the Community.2.  The cost of measures under Action 4 will not exceed 5 % of the annual appropriations for the Erasmus programme.'

INTRODUCTIONTHE REASON FOR HAVING A LOGO?The logo will allow producers of food products to increase awareness of their products among consumers in the European Union. It is applied on products whose name has been registered in the context of a Community system to protect and enhance geographical designations, established by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.In order to be registered under this Regulation, a designation must meet the criteria for a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Above all there must be a link between the product and the geographical area where it is produced. There categories, are differentiated only by the nature of the link, the protection afforded by the Regulation being identical for both.The Community register links the geographical name to a particular set of specifications. Controls organised by Member States ensure the protection of the consumer by guaranteeing respect for the designation of origin and the specifications.There is already a Community logo which guarantees the traditional specific character of certain products independently of their place of production; the new logo has been created on this model. Furthermore, the design is for the two classifications (PDO and PGI). This allows a synergy between the different graphic representations of the European systems and avoids a proliferation of symbols in the market place.The presence of this logo is a genuine guarantee for all European consumers, making it clear that the special nature of this product lies in its geographical origin. Because of this, products will inspire more confidence.As producers, the logo provides you which a marketing tool. You will be able to put the logo on the labels or packaging of your products, and also use it in your advertising.This graphic manual is meant to act as a guide for you in reproducing the logo.

PLACEMENT OF THE LOGO ON PACKAGING AND LABELSThe use of the PDO and PGI logos serves to confer a specific value on the products on which they are used, and to make them stand out from others. The most effective application of the logos is therefore in colour, since they will thus have greater presence and be recognised more easily and quickly by the consumer.The use of the PDO and PGI logos using a single colour or in negative is only recommended in cases where technical difficulties make their application in colour impossible.3. SPECIFIC USE3.1. IN THE MEDIAFor advertising purposes (press campaigns, magazines, posters, TV, audio-visual media, direct marketing etc.) the logos must appear in colour.3.2. OTHER USESWhen the logos are used in other settings, such as on vehicles or in shop windows, etc., the guidelines for the use of colour set out above should be followed as far as possible.4.

The aim of the amendments to IFRIC 14 is to remove an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14 in cases where an entity subject to a minimum funding requirement makes an early payment of contributions where under certain circumstances the entity making such a prepayment would be required to recognise an expense. In the case where a defined benefit plan is subject to a minimum funding requirement the amendment to IFRIC 14 prescribes to treat this prepayment, like any other prepayment, as an asset.(3) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that amendments to IFRIC 14 meets the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/505/EC of 14 July 2006 setting up a Standards Advice Review Group to advise the Commission on the objectivity and neutrality of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group's (EFRAG’s) opinions (3), the Standards Advice Review Group considered EFRAG's opinion on endorsement and advised the Commission that it is well-balanced and objective.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,. In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee's (IFRIC) Interpretation 14 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation. Each company shall apply the amendments to IFRIC 14, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation, at the latest, as from the commencement date of its first financial year starting after 31 December 2010. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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..

Further information can be obtained from the IASB at www.iasb.org’AMENDMENTS TO IFRIC 14Paragraphs 16-18 and 20-22 are amendedParagraphs 3A, 27B and 29 are added.BACKGROUND3A In November 2009 the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRIC 14 to remove an unintended consequence arising from the treatment of prepayments of future contributions in some circumstances when there is a minimum funding requirement.CONSENSUSThe economic benefit available as a contribution reduction16 If there is no minimum funding requirement for contributions relating to future service, the economic benefit available as a reduction in future contributions is(a) [deleted](b) the future service cost to the entity for each period over the shorter of the expected life of the plan and the expected life of the entity. The future service cost to the entity excludes amounts that will be borne by employees.17 An entity shall determine the future service costs using assumptions consistent with those used to determine the defined benefit obligation and with the situation that exists at the end of the reporting period as determined by IAS 19. Therefore, an entity shall assume no change to the benefits to be provided by a plan in the future until the plan is amended and shall assume a stable workforce in the future unless the entity is demonstrably committed at the end of the reporting period to make a reduction in the number of employees covered by the plan. In the latter case, the assumption about the future workforce shall include the reduction.The effect of a minimum funding requirement on the economic benefit available as a reduction in future contributions18 An entity shall analyse any minimum funding requirement at a given date into contributions that are required to cover (a) any existing shortfall for past service on the minimum funding basis and (b) future service.20 If there is a minimum funding requirement for contributions relating to future service, the economic benefit available as a reduction in future contributions is the sum of:(a) any amount that reduces future minimum funding requirement contributions for future service because the entity made a prepayment (ie paid the amount before being required to do so); and(b) the estimated future service cost in each period in accordance with paragraphs 16 and 17, less the estimated minimum funding requirement contributions that would be required for future service in those periods if there were no prepayment as described in (a).21 An entity shall estimate the future minimum funding requirement contributions for future service taking into account the effect of any existing surplus determined using the minimum funding basis but excluding the prepayment described in paragraph 20(a). An entity shall use assumptions consistent with the minimum funding basis and, for any factors not specified by that basis, assumptions consistent with those used to determine the defined benefit obligation and with the situation that exists at the end of the reporting period as determined by IAS 19. The estimate shall include any changes expected as a result of the entity paying the minimum contributions when they are due. However, the estimate shall not include the effect of expected changes in the terms and conditions of the minimum funding basis that are not substantively enacted or contractually agreed at the end of the reporting period.22 When an entity determines the amount described in paragraph 20(b), if the future minimum funding requirement contributions for future service exceed the future IAS 19 service cost in any given period, that excess reduces the amount of the economic benefit available as a reduction in future contributions However, the amount described in paragraph 20(b) can never be less than zero.EFFECTIVE DATE27B Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement added paragraph 3A and amended paragraphs 16-18 and 20-22. An entity shall apply those amendments for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. Earlier application is permitted. If an entity applies the amendments for an earlier period, it shall disclose that fact.TRANSITION29 An entity shall apply the amendments in paragraphs 3A, 16–18 and 20–22 from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the first financial statements in which the entity applies this Interpretation. If the entity had previously applied this Interpretation before it applies the amendments, it shall recognise the adjustment resulting from the application of the amendments in retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.

If lesions giving rise to a suspicion of tuberculosis are found at the post-mortem examination or slaughtering, the competent authorities shall submit such lesions to laboratory examination.5. The officially tuberculosis free status of the herds of origin and transit of the suspected bovine animals shall be suspended and the period of suspension shall continue until clinical or laboratory examinations or tuberculin tests have ruled out the presence of bovine tuberculosis.6. If the suspicion of tuberculosis is confirmed, either by tuberculin tests or by clinical or laboratory examinations, the officially tuberculosis free status of the herds of origin and transit shall be withdrawn. The status of official tuberculosis freedom shall remain withdrawn until such time as:    - all the animals that have been deemed to be infected have been removed from the herd,- disinfection of premises and utensils has taken place,- all the remaining bovine animals over six weeks of age have reacted negatively to at least two official intradermal tuberculin tests in accordance with Annex B of Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964, the first one carried out at least six months after the infected animal has left the herd and the second one at least six months after the first. The number of breakdown herds will be communicated to the Commission on an annual basis ; it being understood that a breakdown herd is a herd of origin or transit which has contained a bovine animal that has proved positive for the presence of Mycobacterium bovis.

2078,"96/274/ECSC: Commission Decision of 7 February 1996 concerning additional financial aid by the United Kingdom in respect of the coal industry in the 1995/96 financial year (Only the English text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,Having regard to Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),Having regard to Decision 94/995/ECSC of 3 November 1994 ruling on financial measures by the United Kingdom in respect of the coal industry in the 1994/95 and 1995/96 financial years (2),Whereas:IIn a letter dated 7 November 1995 the United Kingdom notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, of further financial aid which it intends to grant to the coal industry in the 1995/96 financial year in addition to the aid authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC, and of a technical change concerning the allocation of one of the forms of aid authorized by the same Decision.The measures which the United Kingdom intends to take in respect of the coal industry fall within the scope of Article 1 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. The Commission must therefore give a ruling pursuant to Article 9 (4) of the Decision on whether they comply with the objectives and criteria set out in the Decision and are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.IIBy Decision 94/995/ECSC the Commission, applying the criteria set out in Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, authorized the United Kingdom to grant various aids for the 1995/96 financial year, notably:- aid not exceeding £ 130 million to the Coal Authority, a public-sector body, to cover liabilities for environmental and physical damage caused by coal production activities before the privatization of the British Coal Corporation,- aid not exceeding £ 30 million for the 1995/96 financial year to cover compensation for industrial injury and damage to health suffered by workers and former workers of the British Coal Corporation during that part of their employment in the Corporation between 1947 and the date of privatization of the Corporation,- aid not exceeding £ 1 million for the 1995/96 financial year for concessionary fuel entitlement to coal or smokeless fuel or, in certain cases, cash-in-lieu to British Coal Corporation workers who have retired or been made redundant as a result of the restructuring, rationalization and modernization of the coal industry in the United Kingdom, and their dependants, for that part of their employment in the Corporation falling between 31 March 1990 and the date of privatization of the Corporation.IIIThe notification of 7 November 1995 advised that certain aid authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC for payment in 1994/95 had been transferred to 1995/96; this transfer requires no further authorization.The notification also indicated that, in the case of two of the three abovementioned measures, further aid in addition to the aid authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC was planned in the 1995/96 financial year and that, out of concern for efficient technical management, one of the other forms of aid needed to be reallocated. The Commission must therefore give a ruling on these three changes.The additional aid for the 1995/96 financial year consists on the one hand of a further £ 16 million, in addition to the £ 30 million already authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC, to cover compensation for industrial injury and damage to health suffered by former workers of the British Coal Corporation, of which £ 14 million is to be allocated to the British Coal Corporation and £ 2 million directly to employees of the private undertakings in respect of claims arising from the period before privatization, and on the other hand, of a further £ 95 million, in addition to the £ 1 million already authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC, for concessionary fuel entitlement to coal or smokeless fuel, or, in certain cases, cash-in-lieu to British Coal Corporation workers who have retired or have been made redundant as a result of the modernization, rationalization and restructuring of the coal industry in the United Kingdom, and their dependants, for that part of their employment in the Corporation up to 31 March 1990.The technical change concerning reallocation for the 1995/96 financial year concerns the aid to cover environmental damage, where the total is to remain limited to £ 110 million, but will no longer all be paid to the Coal Authority. Instead, the Coal Authority will receive only £ 57 million and the British Coal Corporation the remaining £ 53 million.IVThe additional aid not exceeding £ 16 million to cover compensation for former workers of the British Coal Corporation, in addition to £ 30 million already authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC, is designed to cover compensation for industrial injury and damage to health during their employment in the Corporation before privatization. The companies succeeding the British Coal Corporation have assumed all the liabilities relating to industrial injury and damage to health suffered by their workers during the part of their employment falling after privatization.To compensate former workers of the British Coal Corporation for industrial injury and damage to health arising from employment between 1947 and privatization of the Corporation, the United Kingdom proposes to pay aid not exceeding £ 46 million for the 1995/96 financial year instead of £ 30 million initially authorized in Decision 94/995/ECSC. The £ 16 million increase, compared with the amount authorized, can be attributed partly to the fact that the average compensation costs are markedly higher than the amount on which the initial estimates were based due, essentially, to unforeseen claims resulting from the inclusion of claims and insurance previously excluded and partly to the acceptance of the costs for administering the compensation files which were not foreseen.This additional aid is therefore intended to cover the actual costs arising from the modernization, rationalization or restructuring of the coal industry which are not related to current production (inherited liabilities). In accordance with Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, this aid, which is explicitly mentioned in the Annex to the Decision, namely residual costs to cover former miners' health insurance, can be considered compatible with the common market in that the amount paid does not exceed the costs.VDecision 94/995/ECSC expressly provided that the aid to cover liabilities for the environmental damage caused by underground production activities before privatization of the British Coal Corporation would be granted to the Coal Authority. After privatization the Coal Authority was expected to assume all British Coal Corporation's relevant liabilities. In practice, for technical and efficiency reasons, these functions have been transferred from the British Coal Corporation to the Coal Authority more slowly than originally foreseen. Consequently, in the 1995/96 financial year some of these tasks will still be performed by the remaining departments of the British Coal Corporation. Although the nature of the aid remains unchanged, the amount proposed has been divided between the Coal Authority and the remaining departments of the British Coal Corporation. The notification from the United Kingdom Government indicates that the aid provided to the British Coal Corporation will be used only for the purposes specified. This simple technical change to Article 2 of Decision 94/995/ECSC makes no difference to the compatibility of this measure with the objectives and criteria set out in Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.VICommission Decision 90/634/ECSC (3) authorized aid totalling £ 2 000 million to the British Coal Corporation for the constitution of a provision for concessionary supplies of coal, smokeless fuel or in certain cases a payment in kind to mineworkers on retirement, former mineworkers or their beneficiaries in respect of production activities prior to 1990/91. In March 1995 the liability in respect of former British Coal employees and their beneficiaries was transferred from the British Coal Corporation to the United Kingdom Government; the corresponding provision within British Coal's accounts was reserved, and the authorization of £ 2 000 million under Decision 90/634/ECSC accordingly lapsed. It is therefore necessary to re-authorize the expenditure expected to be incurred under this heading in 1995/96; this amounts to £ 95 million, and is in addition to the sum not exceeding £ 1 million authorized to be granted to the coal industry under Article 2 of Decision 94/995/ECSC in respect of the concessionary fuel entitlement to former British Coal Corporation workers and their dependants for that part of their employment in the Corporation running from 31 March 1990 to the date of privatization of the Corporation.VIIIn the light of the foregoing and based on the information supplied by the United Kingdom Government, the aid measures referred to in this Decision satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC since the objective is to cover the costs of modernization, rationalization and restructuring of the coal industry which are not related to current production (inherited liabilities). These measures are therefore compatible with the proper functioning of the common market,. The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to grant to the British Coal Corporation for the 1995/96 financial year further aid not exceeding £ 14 million, in addition to the aid authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC, to cover compensation for former workers for industrial injury and damage to health and to grant additional aid not exceeding £ 2 million to cover the same compensation for the 1995/96 financial year direct to former miners transferred to the private undertakings for claims arising from the period before privatization. The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to grand aid not exceeding £ 53 million for the financial year 1995/96, out of the total amount of aid authorized by Decision 94/995/ECSC, to the British Coal Corporation to cover environmental damage. The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to grant aid for the 1995/96 financial year not exceeding £ 95 million for concessionary fuel entitlement to coal or smokeless fuel, or, in certain cases, cash-in-lieu to British Coal Corporation workers who have retired or have been made redundant as a result of the modernization, rationalization and restructuring of the coal industry in the United Kingdom, and their dependants, for that part of their employment in the Corporation up to 31 March 1990. The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission of the actual payments made for each category of the aid covered by this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom..

It is appropriate that this Regulation be as neutral as possible from the point of view of competition, socially equitable and sustainable.(2) The further development of the worldwide market for advanced technologies aimed at improving the efficiency of passenger cars is in line with the Commission’s Communication of 21 January 2011 entitled: ‘A resource-efficient Europe — Flagship initiative under the Europe 2020 strategy’, which supports the shift to a resource-efficient, low-carbon economy for achieving sustainable growth.(3) It is appropriate to clarify that, for the purpose of verifying compliance with the target of 95 g CO2/km, CO2 emissions should continue to be measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and its implementing measures and innovative technologies.(4) High fossil fuel prices have a negative impact on economic recovery and on energy security and affordability in the Union. Increasing, therefore, the efficiency and sustainability of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, thus reducing the dependency on oil, is a priority.(5) In recognition of the high research and development and unit production costs of early generations of ultra-low emission vehicles, it is appropriate to accelerate and facilitate, on an interim basis and to a limited extent, the process of their introduction into the Union market at their initial stages of commercialisation. Actors at different levels should give appropriate attention to identifying and disseminating best practices for stimulating demand for ultra-low emission vehicles.(6) The lack of alternative fuel infrastructure and of common technical specifications for the vehicle-infrastructure interface could be an obstacle to the market uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles. Ensuring the building-up of such infrastructure in the Union could facilitate the work of market forces and contribute to economic growth in Europe.(7) In recognition of the disproportionate impact on the smallest manufacturers resulting from compliance with specific emissions targets defined on the basis of the utility of the vehicle, the high administrative burden of the derogation procedure, and the marginal resulting benefit in terms of CO2 emissions reduction from the vehicles sold by those manufacturers, manufacturers responsible for fewer than 1 000 new passenger cars registered in the Union annually should be excluded from the scope of the specific emissions target and the excess emissions premium. In order to ensure from the earliest point legal certainty for those manufacturers, it is essential that this derogation apply from 1 January 2012.(8) The procedure for granting a derogation to small-volume manufacturers should be simplified to allow for more flexibility in terms of when an application for a derogation is to be submitted by such manufacturers and when the Commission is to grant such a derogation.(9) The procedure for granting derogations to niche manufacturers should continue beyond 2020. However, in order to ensure that the reduction effort required by niche manufacturers is consistent with that of large volume manufacturers, a target 45 % lower than the average specific emissions of niche manufacturers in 2007 should therefore apply from 2020.(10) To enable the automotive industry to engage in long-term investment and innovation, it is desirable to provide indications as to how Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should be amended for the period beyond 2020. Those indications should be based on an assessment of the necessary rate of reduction in line with the Union’s long-term climate goals and the implications for the development of cost effective CO2-reducing technology for cars. The Commission should, by 2015, review such aspects and submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on its findings. That report should include, where appropriate, proposals for amending Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 with a view to establishing CO2 emission targets for new passenger cars beyond 2020, including the possible setting of a realistic and achievable target for 2025, based on a comprehensive impact assessment that will consider the continued competitiveness of the car industry and its dependent industries, while maintaining a clear emissions-reduction trajectory comparable to that achieved in the period up to 2020. When developing such proposals, the Commission should ensure they are as neutral as possible from the point of view of competition and are socially equitable and sustainable.(11) Under Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, the Commission is required to carry out an impact assessment in order to review the test procedures with a view to reflecting adequately the real CO2 emissions behaviour of cars. There is a need to amend the currently used ‘New European Driving Cycle’ (NEDC), to ensure its representativeness regarding real driving conditions and to avoid the underestimation of real CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. A new, more realistic and reliable test procedure should be agreed as soon as feasible. Work in this direction is proceeding through the development of a Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) in the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe but has not yet been completed. In order to ensure that specific CO2 emissions quoted for new passenger cars are brought more closely into line with the emissions actually generated during normal conditions of use, the WLTP should be applied at the earliest opportunity. In view of that context, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 establishes emission limits for 2020 as measured in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Annex XII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (5). When the test procedures are amended, the limits set in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should be adjusted to ensure comparable stringency for manufacturers and classes of vehicles. Accordingly, the Commission should carry out a robust correlation study between the NEDC and the new WLTP test cycles to ensure its representativeness regarding real driving conditions.(12) With a view to ensuring that real world emissions are adequately reflected, and measured CO2 values are strictly comparable, the Commission should ensure that those elements in the testing procedure that have a significant influence on measured CO2 emissions are strictly defined in order to prevent the utilisation of test cycle flexibilities by manufacturers. The deviations between type-approval CO2 emission values and emissions derived from vehicles offered for sale should be addressed, including by considering an in-service conformity test procedure that should ensure independent testing of a representative sample of vehicles for sale, as well as ways of addressing cases of demonstrated substantial divergence between survey and initial type-approval CO2 emissions.(13) The wording of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should be adjusted to ensure that the concept of connected undertakings is in line with Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (6) as well as with Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7).(14) Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 confers powers on the Commission to implement some of its provisions in accordance with the procedures laid down in Council Decision 1999/468/EC (8). As a consequence of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, those powers need to be aligned to Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).(15) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9).(16) The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in order to amend Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 as regards data requirements and data parameters; supplement the rules on the interpretation of the eligibility criteria for derogations from the specific emissions targets, on the content of applications for a derogation and on the content and assessment of programmes for the reduction of specific emissions of CO2; adjust the figure of M0, referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, to the average mass of new passenger cars in the previous three calendar years; and adapt the formulae in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.(17) It is appropriate to retain the approach of setting the target based on a linear relationship between the utility of the car and its target CO2 emissions as expressed by the formulae set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, since this allows the diversity of the passenger car market and the ability of manufacturers to address different consumer needs to be maintained, thus avoiding any unjustified distortion of competition.(18) In its impact assessment, the Commission assessed the availability of footprint data and the use of footprint as the utility parameter in the formulae set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. On the basis of that assessment, the Commission has concluded that the utility parameter used in the formula for 2020 should be mass. Nevertheless, the lower cost and merits of a change to footprint as the utility parameter should be considered in the future review.(19) Greenhouse gas emissions related to energy supply and vehicle manufacturing and disposal are significant components of the current overall road transport carbon footprint and are likely to significantly increase in importance in the future. Policy action should therefore be taken to guide manufacturers towards optimal solutions taking account of, in particular, greenhouse gas emissions associated with the generation of energy supplied to vehicles such as electricity and alternative fuels, and to ensure that those upstream emissions do not erode the benefits related to the improved operational energy use of vehicles aimed for under Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.(20) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to define the modalities for reaching the 2020 target to reduce CO2 emissions from new passenger cars, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.(21) Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,. Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 is amended as follows:(1) in Article 1, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:(2) in Article 2, the following paragraph is added:(3) in point (a) of Article 3(2), the first indent is replaced by the following:‘— the power to exercise more than half the voting rights, or’;(4) in Article 4, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:— 65 % in 2012,— 75 % in 2013,— 80 % in 2014,— 100 % from 2015 to 2019,— 95 % in 2020,— 100 % by the end of 2020 onwards.’;(5) the following Article is inserted:— 2 passenger cars in 2020,— 1,67 passenger cars in 2021,— 1,33 passenger cars in 2022,— 1 passenger car from 2023,(6) in Article 8, paragraph 9 is replaced by the following:(7) in Article 9, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:(8) Article 11 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 3, the last sentence is deleted;(b) in paragraph 4, point (b) of the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:‘(b) if the application is in relation to points (a) and (b) of point 1 of Annex I, a target which is a 25 % reduction on the average specific emissions of CO2 in 2007 or, where a single application is made in respect of a number of connected undertakings, a 25 % reduction on the average of those undertakings’ average specific emissions of CO2 in 2007.’;(c) in paragraph 4, second subparagraph, the following point is added:‘(c) if the application is in relation to point (c) of point 1 of Annex I, a target which is a 45 % reduction on the average specific emissions of CO2 in 2007 or, where a single application is made in respect of a number of connected undertakings, a 45 % reduction on the average of those undertakings’ average specific emissions of CO2 in 2007.’;(d) paragraph 8 is replaced by the following:(9) Article 12 is amended as follows:(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:(b) in paragraph 2, the first sentence is replaced by the following:(c) paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:(10) Article 13 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 2, the third subparagraph is replaced by the following:(b) the second subparagraph of paragraph 3 is deleted;(c) paragraph 5 is replaced by the following:(d) paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:(11) Article 14 is replaced by the following:(12) the following Article is inserted:(13) in point 1 of Annex I, the following point is added:‘(c) From 2020:(14) Annex II is amended as follows:(a) in point 1 of Part A, the following point is added:‘(n) maximum net power.’;(b) in the table ‘Detailed data specified in point 1 of Part A’, the following column is added: This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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..

39537,"Commission Directive 2011/69/EU of 1 July 2011 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include imidacloprid as an active substance in Annex I thereto  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes imidacloprid.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, imidacloprid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.(3) Germany was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 15 September 2008 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 16 December 2010, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods and containing imidacloprid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include imidacloprid in Annex I to that Directive.(6) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at Union level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to human populations and to environmental compartments that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.(7) In view of the risks identified for the aquatic compartment, it is appropriate to require that products are not authorised for uses in animal housings where emission to a sewage treatment plant or direct emission to surface water cannot be prevented, unless data is submitted demonstrating that the product will meet the requirements of both Article 5 of and Annex VI to Directive 98/8/EC, if necessary by the application of appropriate risk mitigation measures.(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level. In particular, in the light of the possible risk for non-professionals, appropriate risk mitigation measures should be taken to minimise the potential exposure of infants and children.(9) In the light of the findings relating to possible indirect human exposure via consumption of food, it is appropriate to require, where relevant, verification of the need to set new or amended existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) according to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (4). Measures should be adopted ensuring that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.(10) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance imidacloprid and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(11) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(12) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(13) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

As part of the enhanced pre-accession strategy, Accession Partnerships shall be established for the applicant States of central and eastern Europe. Each Accession Partnership shall provide a single framework covering:— the priorities, as defined in the analysis of the situation in each State, on which preparations for accession must concentrate in view of the political and economic criteria and the obligations incumbent upon a Member State of the European Union as defined by the European Council,— the financial resources for assisting each applicant State to implement the priorities identified during the pre-accession period. Following a proposal by the Commission, the Council shall decide by qualified majority on the principles, priorities, intermediate objectives and conditions contained in the individual Accession Partnerships, as they will be submitted to each applicant State, as well as on subsequent significant adjustments applicable to them. This Regulation shall have no financial implications. Under the pre-accession strategy, the Community assistance shall be the assistance provided for in the programmes adopted in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty.On the basis of decisions taken by the Council pursuant to Article 2, the programming of the financial resources of the assistance granted in the framework of the Accession Partnerships shall be established in accordance with the procedures set out in the Regulations relating to the corresponding financial instruments or programmes.

3401,"2003/547/EC: Commission Decision of 22 July 2003 on temporary measures to prevent the transmission of foot-and-mouth disease from certain North African countries to the territory of the European Union (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2003) 2611). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Foot-and-mouth-disease is one of the most contagious viral diseases of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs and the causative virus can persist in a contaminated environment outside the host animal for several weeks depending, amongst others, of climatic factors.(2) On 18 June 2003, Libya notified to the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) the confirmation of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle caused by serotype SAT 2. This is the first reported outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in this country since 1994 and the first ever in relation to the serotype of the virus identified in the OIE Reference Laboratory for Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Pirbright, United Kingdom.(3) The competent authorities in Libya have taken measures to contain the disease by the stamping out of infected animals, isolation of herds, movement restrictions and surveillance.(4) The Community does not allow imports of live animals of susceptible species or their products from Libya. Importation of animals to the Community primarily relates to re-entry of registered horses in accordance with Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(3).(5) However, transport vehicles used for transport of animals on arrival from Libya to the European Union may cause a potential risk of harbouring virus. It is therefore necessary to rapidly adopt certain protection measures at Community level which take into account the survival of the foot-and-mouth disease virus in the environment and potential routes of virus transmission.(6) Consequently, the presence of foot-and-mouth disease in Libya is liable to constitute a serious risk to the susceptible livestock population of the Community.(7) Proper cleansing and disinfection of animal transport vehicles is the most appropriate way to reduce the risk of rapid virus transmission over large distances.(8) Taking into account the significant delay between the first suspect on 1 May 2003 and the confirmation of the disease, a spread of the disease to neighbouring countries cannot be fully excluded and may require an extension of the geographical scope of this Decision.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. For the purpose of this Decision ""livestock vehicle"" means any motor vehicle being used or which has been used for transport of animals. 1. Member States shall ensure that the operator of an empty livestock vehicle on arrival from a third country, or part of a third country regionalised in accordance with Community legislation, mentioned in Annex I at the point of entry to the territory of the European Union provides documentation which indicates that the vehicle has been cleansed and disinfected. The documentation shall provide information on cleansing and disinfection equivalent to that shown in Annex II to this Decision.2. In the event the measures referred to in paragraph 1 have been implemented inappropriately, the Member State concerned may reject the livestock vehicle or subject the vehicle to proper cleansing and disinfection at a designated place as close as possible to the point of entry. Livestock vehicles carrying equidae from a third country, or part of a third country regionalised in accordance with Community legislation, mentioned in Annex I, being imported in accordance with provisions of Directive 90/426/EEC, shall be subject to cleansing and disinfection on arrival at the border inspection post. The mentioned cleansing and disinfection shall be carried out at a place as close as possible to the border inspection post, designated by the official veterinarian. The measures of this Decision shall apply until 31 October 2003. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

30917,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1573/2005 of 28 September 2005 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of rye held by the German intervention agency for processing into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2) provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at a selling price which is not below the price recorded on the market at the place of storage or, failing that, on the nearest market, account being taken of transport costs, for an equivalent quality and for a representative quantity preventing market disturbance.(2) The increased use of biofuels in Community transport forms part of a raft of measures designed to meet the Community’s environmental commitments. Promoting the use of biofuels may open up a new market for the agricultural products of the Member States.(3) Germany has significant intervention stocks of rye for which it is proving difficult to find markets and which should therefore be disposed of. To this end, sales on the Community market may be organised by tendering procedure with a view to processing the rye into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community, within the meaning of Directive 2003/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 May 2003 on the promotion of the use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transport (3).(4) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.(5) It is also important for the German intervention agency’s notification to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.(6) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.(7) To enable checks on the particular destination of the stocks covered by tendering procedures, provision should be made for specific monitoring of, on the one hand, the delivery of the rye and its processing into bioethanol and, on the other hand, its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community. To permit this monitoring, application of the procedures laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (4) and Council Directive 92/12/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duty and on the holding, movement and monitoring of such products (5) respectively should be made compulsory.(8) To guarantee proper performance, tenderers should be asked to lodge a security which, in view of the nature of the operations concerned, should be fixed by derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, in particular as regards the conditions for its release.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman,. The German intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 200 000 tonnes of rye held by it, for processing into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community within the meaning of Article 2(1)(a) of Directive 2003/30/EC. The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.However, notwithstanding:(a) Article 13(1) of that Regulation, tenders shall be drawn up by reference to the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;(b) the second paragraph of Article 10 of that Regulation, the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market. Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:(a) proof that the tenderer has lodged a security which, notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 13(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, is set at EUR 10 per tonne;(b) the tenderer’s written undertaking to use the rye for processing within the Community into bioethanol and its subsequent use for the production of biofuel in the Community before 30 August 2006 and to lodge a security of EUR 40 within two working days of the day on which the notice of award of contract is received;(c) an undertaking to keep stock records so that checks may be carried out to ensure that the quantities of rye awarded have been processed on Community territory into bioethanol and that this ethanol has been used for the production of biofuel in the Community.The holding and movement of ethanol is subject to Directive 92/12/EEC for the purposes of the production of biofuels. 1.   The first partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 5 October 2005.The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 15.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of 2 November 2005, 28 December 2005, 12 April 2006, 24 May 2006 and 14 June 2006, i.e. weeks when no invitation to tender shall be made.The last partial invitation to tender shall expire at 15.00 (Brussels time) on 28 June 2006.2.   Tenders must be lodged with the German intervention agency at the following address:Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung (BLE)Deichmannsaue 29D-53179 BonnFax: (49-228) 6845 3985(49-228) 6845 3276.

This notification shall be made by e-mail, using the form in Annex I hereto. Under the procedure laid down in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 the Commission shall set the minimum selling price or decide not to award any quantities. In the event that tenders are submitted for the same lot and for a quantity larger than that available, the Commission may fix this price separately for each lot.Where tenders are offering the minimum selling price, the Commission may fix an award coefficient for the quantities offered at the same time as it fixes the minimum selling price. 1.   The security referred to in Article 3(a) shall be released in full in respect of quantities for which:(a) no award is made;(b) payment of the selling price is made within the period set and the security referred to in Article 3(b) has been lodged.2.   The security referred to in Article 3(b) shall be released in proportion to the quantities of rye used by 30 August 2006 for the production of bioethanol in the Community and subject to the bioethanol being placed under the tax warehouse system provided for in Directive 92/12/EEC and specifying the end use of the bioethanol as biofuel in the Community. 1.   Proof that the undertakings referred to in Article 3(b) have been met shall be supplied in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 and Directive 92/12/EEC.2.   In addition to the particulars provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, box 104 of the control copy T5 shall refer to the undertaking provided for in Article 3(b) and (c) and contain one or more of the entries shown in Annex II.3.   Notwithstanding Article 7(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, proof that the rye has been properly used shall be provided where it is stored in a bioethanol processing undertaking and the biofuel producer shows, by submitting supporting documents, that the bioethanol produced from rye purchased in accordance with this Regulation has been processed into biofuel.

That list includes propiconazole.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, propiconazole has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) Finland was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 5 April 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 29 November 2007, in an assessment report.(5) The review of propiconazole did not reveal any open questions or concerns to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks.(6) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing propiconazole may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include propiconazole in Annex I for product type 8, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing propiconazole can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC. However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood exposed to weathering. Authorisation of these uses will require the submission of data demonstrating that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.(7) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that products containing propiconazole and used as wood preservatives must be used with appropriate personal protective equipment, that risk mitigation measures are applied to protect the soil and aquatic compartments and that related instructions are provided, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(d) of Directive 98/8/EC.(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance propiconazole and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product type 8 containing propiconazole to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

The application of the text has revealed a need for some clarification of the description of the products or the parts of the product to which the maximum level apply.(3) Available data indicate that free range and semi-intensive eggs may contain higher levels of dioxin than battery eggs. Measures have to be taken to ensure that dioxin levels in free range and semi-intensive eggs are reduced and a transition period for the application of the levels was foreseen until 1 January 2004. It now appears that more time is needed for the investigations to define possible measures to reduce the dioxin levels in free range and semi-intensive eggs and for implementing these measures. It is therefore appropriate to extend the transition period for one year.(4) In the meantime, Commission Directive 2002/69/EC of 30 July 2002 laying down the sampling methods and the methods of analysis for the official control of dioxins and the determination of dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs(3) has been adopted.(5) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

21439,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1066/2001 of 31 May 2001 determining, for the 2001 marketing year, the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of premium payable per ewe and per female goat and fixing the first advance payment for this premium and an advance payment of the specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1669/2000(2), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(4) and in particular Article 13 thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 5(1) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 provides for the grant of a premium to compensate for any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat. Those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999 of 21 December 1999 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat is granted(5).(2) Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers, the foreseeable loss of income should be estimated in the light of the foreseeable trend in market prices.(3) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the amount of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of that Article by a coefficient expressing the annual average production of heavy lamb meat per ewe producing these lambs expressed per 100 kg of carcase weight. The coefficient for 2001 has not yet been fixed in view of the lack of full Community statistics. Pending the fixing of that coefficient, a provisional coefficient should be used. Article 5(3) of that Regulation also fixes the amount per ewe for producers of light lambs and per female of the caprine species at 80 % of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs.(4) Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basic price of the coefficient provided for in paragraph 2 of that Article. That coefficient is fixed by Article 13(4) at 7 %.(5) In accordance with Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the half-yearly advance payment is fixed at 30 % of the expected premium. In accordance with Article 4(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93(6) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 394/2001(7), the advance payment is to be paid only if it is equal to or greater than EUR 1.(6) Under Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 193/98(9), the Council instituted specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community. It lays down that the aid is to be granted under the same conditions as those for the grant of the premium for producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat. In view of the present uncertainty of the market situation in certain Member States, the Member States should be authorised, for the 2001 marketing year, to pay immediately an amount equal to 90 % of the aid.(7) Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the application of specific measures relating to agricultural production in the Canary Islands. Those measures entail the grant of a supplement to the ewe premium payable to producers of light lambs and she-goats on the same conditions as those governing the grant of the premium referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98. Those conditions provide that Spain is authorised to pay an advance on the said supplementary premium.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,. The difference, which is hereby estimated between the basic price, reduced by the impact of the coefficient laid down in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, and the foreseeable market price for 2001, is EUR 83,785 per 100 kg. The estimated amount of the premium payable in respect of the 2001 marketing year shall be as follows:- EUR 13,129 per ewe in case of producers of heavy lambs,- EUR 10,503 per ewe in case of producers of light lambs,- EUR 10,503 per she-goat in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999. Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the first advance that the Member States are authorised to pay to producers shall be as follows:- EUR 3,939 per ewe in case of producers of heavy lambs.- EUR 3,151 per ewe in case of producers of light lambs.- EUR 3,151 per she-goat in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999. The advance of the specific aid which the Member States are authorised to pay to producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat in less-favoured areas pursuant to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90, within the meaning of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/99(10), shall be as follows:- EUR 5,977 per ewe in case of producers of heavy lambs,- EUR 5,397 per ewe in case of producers of light lambs,- EUR 5,379 per she-goat in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999. Pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 the first advance on the supplementary premium for the 2001 marketing year for producers of light lambs and she-goats in the Canary Islands within the limits provided for in Article 1(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90(11) shall be EUR 1,386 per ewe and/or she-goat.

Without prejudice to other Community legislation and subject to the conditions outlined in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4, consent shall be given by the authorities of the Netherlands for the placing on the market of the following product, notified by Bejo-Zaden BV (Ref. C/NL/94/25), under Article 13 of Directive 90/220/EEC.The product consists of seeds and plants derived from chicory (Cichorium intybus L. subspecies radicchio rosso) lines (RM3-3, RM3-4 and RM3-6) which have been transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens disarmed Ti-plasmid containing between the T-DNA borders:(i) the barnase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (a ribonuclease) with the promoter PTA29 from Nicotiana tabacum and the terminator of the nopaline synthase gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens;(ii) the bar gene from Streptomyces hygroscopicus (a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase) with the promoter PSsuAra-tp from Arabidopsis thaliana and the TL-DNA gene 7 terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens;(iii) the neo gene from Escherichia coli (a neomycin phosphotransferase II) with the promoter of the nopaline synthase gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the octopine synthase gene terminator from Agrobacterium tumefaciens.2. This consent covers any progeny derived from crosses of this product with any traditionally bred chicory.3. The present consent covers the use of the product for breeding activities.4. Without prejudice to labelling required by other Community legislation, it shall be indicated on the label of each package of seeds that the product:- is to be used for breeding activities,- and may be tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium.

2514,"1999/196/ECSC: Commission Decision of 14 July 1998 on guarantees granted to Eisen- und Stahlwalzwerke Rötzel GmbH (notified under document number C(1998) 2369) (Only the German text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular point (c) of Article 4 thereof,Having regard to Commission Decision No 2496/96/ECSC of 18 December 1996 establishing Community rules for State aid to the steel industry (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,After giving notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments,Whereas:IBy letter dated 12 August 1997, the Commission informed the German Government of its decision to initiate the procedure under Article 6(5) of Decision No 2496/96/ECSC (hereinafter referred to as the 'Steel Aid Code`) in respect of an 80 % deficiency guarantee granted by the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia to Eisen- und Stahlwalzwerke Rötzel GmbH ('Rötzel`).On 25 April 1995 the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia granted an 80 % deficiency guarantee to Rötzel to cover a bank credit amounting to DEM 15 million. The guarantee was granted on the basis of an approved guarantee scheme of the Land (N 155/88; letter of 9 June 1988, SG(88) D/6814). Approval was given only under the EC Treaty and not under the ECSC Treaty. It was also conditional in the sense that individual cases in sensitive sectors such as steel had to be notified individually. No notification of aid was made in this case.The credit and the deficiency guarantee were designed to support the restructuring plan of the company. Rötzel manufactures hot-rolled strip, cold-rolled strip and some profiled/alloyed products as its plant in Nettetal. Its hot-rolling production capacity is 54 000 t/year. The company produces some 50 000 t/year of steel products in total, of which 30 000 t are hot-rolled and 20 000 t cold-rolled products. Approximately half of its hot-rolled production is consumed internally. Rötzel employs 170 people, of whom 95 are engaged in the production of cold-rolled products and 35 in the production of hot-rolled products.In the period 1950-1993 the company also operated a plant in Dinslaken with a hot-rolling capacity of 264 000 t/year. On account of market conditions the annual production of hot-rolled products decreased in the period 1976-1994, and Rötzel expanded its cold-rolling facilities in Nettetal, at an investment cost of some DEM 20 million. In the 1990s the situation worsened and Rötzel decided to close its plant in Dinslaken. The German Government puts the costs of closure at DEM 10,5 million. The production capacity of 264 000 t/year of hot-rolled products was dismantled. The closure of such a large part of the company prompted some restructuring that led to the reopening of hot-rolling mill No IV in Nettetal.The restructuring costs of the company following the closure of Dinslaken necessitated the sale of real estate and required in its last phase the abovementioned bank credit of DEM 15 million. The credit was secured for an amount of DEM 5 million by the two shareholders and as to 80 % by the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia in the form of a deficiency guarantee. According to the German Government, the investments did not concern the hot-rolling facilities in Nettetal.Rötzel's products are covered by two different Treaties, the EC Treaty and the ECSC Treaty. Its hot-rolled products fall under the ECSC Treaty. When initiating the procedure, the Commission argued that, since Rötzel is an undertaking engaged in production in the steel industry, it is caught by Article 80 of the ECSC Treaty and by the State aid rules set out in that Treaty. Although the aforementioned guarantee might have been granted only in respect of a bank credit for investment in the cold-rolling production facilities, as is claimed by the German Government, the restructuring of Rötzel, of which the investment formed part, also entailed the reopening of hot-rolled production facilities. Furthermore, there is a risk that the effects of the guarantee may spill over to the ECSC steel-making sector since the degree of integration of the cold-rolling activities with the ECSC activities is significant as both activities are combined in a single company.Since, the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia undertook a degree of risk in guaranteeing the bank credit without charging a risk premium, the Commission considered that it was not acting in accordance with the private-investor principle. Consequently, it regarded the guarantee as State aid.Point (c) of Article 4 of the ECSC Treaty recognises as incompatible with the common market subsidies or aids granted by States in any form whatsoever. Exceptions to this rule are to be found in the Steel Aid Code, adopted on the basis of Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty.When initiating the procedure, the Commission had serious doubts whether the State aid was compatible with the common market since none of the exemptions laid down in the Steel Aid Code seemed to apply. It took the view, therefore, that the guarantee was caught by the prohibition laid down in Article 4(c) of the ECSC Treaty.Accordingly, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 6(5) of the Steel Aid Code.IIThe Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2). It called on other Member States and interested parties to submit their comments on the matter.The UK Steel Association submitted its comments on 18 November 1997, stating that, although it disagreed with the view that all State aid paid to a company involved in either ECSC or non-ECSC activities should automatically be subject to ECSC rules regardless of the use to which the aid was put, the fact that Rötzel's activities are fully integrated at a single site justifies the approach adopted by the Commission in this case. The Commission communicated the Association's comments to the German Government by letter dated 10 December 1997 so as to give it the opportunity to reply.By letter dated 24 February 1998, the German Government gave its reaction to the opening of the procedure and to the comments made by the UK Steel Association. It confirmed that on 18 May 1995 a deficiency guarantee had been granted to Rötzel fpr 80 % of a bank credit of DEM 15 million comprising:(a) a DEM 2,5 million redeemable loan for investment purposes(b) a DEM 4,5 million redeemable loan for operating purposes(c) a DEM 8 million credit line for operating purposes.The guarantee has been taken up, since Rötzel has now gone into liquidation. The Land authorities have already managed to reduce some of their loss, although at this stage the future situation regarding the guarantee cannot be determined since the bankruptcy proceedings will be completed by the end of 1998 at the earliest.IIIPoint (c) of Article 4 of the ECSC Treaty states that subsidies or aids granted by States are recognised as incompatible with the common market and must accordingly be abolished and prohibited within the Community. The only exemptions from this prohibition are spelt out in the Steel Aid Code. They are:(a) aid for research and development(b) aid for environmental protection(c) aid for closures.Germany has not relied on any of these exemptions in this case.Nor has Germany contested the argument rehearsed in the decision initiating the procedure, to the effect that the guarantee constitutes State aid since the Land authorities assumed a risk without charging a risk premium. The Commission takes the view that the State aid involved is equivalent to the full amount guaranteed. The closure of the Dinslaken plant and the continuing need to restructure the Nettetal facilities indicate that Rötzel was already encountering difficulties when the guarantee was granted. The DEM 15 million credit was necessary for the restructuring of Rötzel and, to that extent, was of vital importance to the company. Given the difficulties facing the company, it is extremely unlikely that the credit would have been granted without a State guarantee. Thus, the State aid involved amounts to DEM 12 million (80 % of DEM 15 million).In addition, the Commission considers that, in view of the degree of integration between ECSC and non-ECSC activities, the guarantee must be assessed in accordance with the provisions of the ECSC Treaty and the Steel Aid Code. The German authorities have not provided any information that would permit a breakdown of the costs by sector of activity. The Commission possesses information indicating that the restructuring led to the reopening of a hot-rolling facility which falls within the scope of the ECSC Treaty. It also notes that the bank credit in fact covers DEM 12,5 million for operating purposes and only DEM 2,5 million for investment purposes. Since it is impossible to distinguish clearly between the operating costs arising in the production sectors covered by the two Treaties, the Commission is obliged to examine the guarantee in the light of the ECSC Treaty. The UK Steel Association supports this view and the German authorities have not contested the approach in the course of the procedure.The Commission, therefore, concludes that the guarantee constitutes State aid which falls under the ECSC Treaty and is in breach of point (c) of Article 4 of that Treaty. For the rest, none of the exemeptions laid down in the Steel Aid Code is applicable in this case,. The aid in the form of an 80 % guarantee granted by the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia in respect of a bank credit of DEM 15 million for Eisen- und Stahlwalzwerke Rötzel GmbH in Nettetal is unlawful since it was not notified in advance. Furthermore, it is incompatible with the common market for coal and steel under point (c) of Article 4 of the ECSC Treaty. Germany shall, in accordance with the provisions of German law relating to the recovery of amounts owed to the State, recover the DEM 12 million which is the full amount guaranteed in favour of Eisen- und Stahlwalzwerke Rötzel GmbH in Nettetal. In order to nullify the effects of the aid, interest shall be charged on that amount from the date on which the aid was granted to the date on which it is repaid.

12948,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1093/94 of 6 May 1994 setting the terms under which fishing vessels of a third country may land directly and market their catches at Community ports. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),Whereas, as far as the Treaty is concerned, the authority of the coastal State as regards access by third country vessels to internal waters and ports is exercised by the Member State; whereas, however, as regards access to such ports by fishing vessels  for direct landing and marketing of their catches, it is necessary to enact additional uniform measures at Community level so that such operations are effected in a manner not liable to affect operation of the common fisheries policy, including health  and marketing standards which are applicable to Community production, and so lead to a situation in which competition is distorted to the detriment of Community production and having regard to imports consigned by other means of transport;Whereas, in particular, landing should be permitted only at ports where health and veterinary checking facilities are available, and masters of the fishing vessels concerned should be required to produce a specific landing statement;Whereas the access for direct landing by fishing vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, a third country must not impair the market balance sought for certain products by means of the price mechanisms introduced as part of the market organization;  whereas sales of these products must therefore respect price levels set by the Community;Whereas, moreover, the common organization of the market of these products rests to a large extent on the capacity of producers' organizations to promote price regularization, by imposing on their members compliance with the rules they adopt, in order,  in accordance with the objectives of the Treaty, to ensure in particular that fishermen enjoy a fair standard of living; whereas the advantage linked to the direct landing by the vessels concerned should not lead, in the areas of activities of  producers' organizations, to any jeopardizing of the effectiveness of the measures adopted and implemented by these organizations in the application of the mechanisms of the common organization of the markets; whereas therefore, except where products  are intended for processing, it is necessary to make the marketing of catches by fishing vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, a third country subject to such measures;Whereas the application of this Regulation will require adequate provision of information at ports where direct landing and marketing by vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, a third country are permitted;Whereas after a certain time it will be necessary to examine the results of the application of this Regulation,. On the terms set out in this Regulation, fishing vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, a third country are authorized to land their fishery products directly at ports of Community Member States, for release for free circulation and  marketing. For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:1. fishery products: all products brought directly from the catch location, possibly after transhipment at sea from another vessel, and covered by Chapter 3 of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical  nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (4);2. fishing vessel:- a vessel, whatever its dimensions, used primarily or secondarily to take fishery products;- a vessel that, even if not itself used to make catches by its own means, takes the fishery products referred to in Article 1 by transhipment from other vessels;- a vessel aboard which fishery products referred to in Article 1 are subject to one or more of the following operations prior to packaging: filleting or slicing, skinning, mincing, freezing and/or processing. 1. Without prejudice to Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (5) and Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991  laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products (6), fishing vessels mentioned in Article 1 may not land their catches for release for free circulation and marketing except at ports designated by  the Member States. The latter shall ensure that all the health and veterinary checks provided for by the rules in force for the fishery products referred to in Article 1 are carried out at those ports.2. Before the date on which this Regulation becomes applicable, Member States shall send the Commission a list of the ports referred to in paragraph 1. They shall notify the Commission of any subsequent changes to that list.The Commission shall publish the list of ports and charges thereto in the 'C' series of the Official Journal of the European Communities. 1. Without prejudice to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (7), the master of a fishing vessel referred to in Article 1 must draw up and deliver to  the competent authorities of the Member State where he wishes to use landing facilities a statement specifying, for all the products which he intends to land:- the origin and, where applicable, the vessel or vessels from which those products have been transhipped,- the quantities, broken down by species,- the intended method of marketing.2. The fishery products referred to in Article 1 landed by a fishing vessels referred to in Article 1 may not be released for free circulation until the statement referred to in paragraph 1 has been lodged with the competent authorities. 1. The marketing of fishery products landed directly from a fishing vessel referred to in Article 1 which are not intended for processing shall be subject to the following conditions:- where the products are listed in Annexes I or VI to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organization of the market in fishery and aquaculture products (8) and are marketed within the area of activity for which a  producers' organization is recognized, they may be marketed only in compliance with the rules set by that producers' organization on withdrawal or selling price, on quality or, for the purpose of regulating supply;Where the release for free circulation takes place outside such an area, products listed in Annex I.A, D or E to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 may not be sold at a free-at-frontier price below the Community withdrawal or selling price set for the current  marketing year under Articles 11 or 13 of that Regulation;- where the products are listed in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, they may not be released for free circulation at a free-at-frontier price below the threshold price set by Article 16 (2) of that Regulation for triggering private storage aid;- where the products are listed in Annexes IV.B or V to Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, they may not be released for free circulation at a free-at-frontier price below the price set under Article 22 (1) of that Regulation.2.

43576,"2014/757/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 29 October 2014 concerning restrictions of the authorisation of a biocidal product containing IPBC notified by Germany in accordance with Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2014) 7914)  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 36(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) contained the list of active substances approved at Union level for inclusion in biocidal products. Commission Directive 2008/79/EC (3) added the active substance IPBC for use in products belonging to product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC. By virtue of Article 86 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, this substance is therefore an approved active substance included in the list referred to in Article 9(2) of that Regulation.(2) In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, the company ISP Cologne Holding GmbH submitted on 22 December 2010 an application to Denmark for authorisation of a wood preservative biocidal product containing IPBC (‘the contested product’). Denmark authorised the contested product on 19 December 2011 for Use classes 2 and 3 of the treated wood, as described in the Technical Notes for Guidance on Product Evaluation (4). The product authorisation covers different application methods, including automated dipping for professional use. Two Member States have subsequently authorised the contested product through mutual recognition.(3) ISP Cologne Holding GmbH (‘the applicant’) submitted on 20 February 2012 a complete application to Germany for mutual recognition of the authorisation of the contested product granted by Denmark.(4) Germany has notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant on 30 August 2013 of its proposal to restrict the authorisation in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany considers that the contested product does not meet the requirements of Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to the human health and the environment.(5) According to Germany, the assessment performed by Denmark did not appropriately address the environmental concerns raised by the contested product. The environmental risk assessment performed by Germany of the service life of treated wood under Use Class 3 conditions concluded in an unacceptable risk for the soil compartment at day 30 (‘time 1’) regardless of the application method. As a result, Germany proposes not to authorise the use of wood treated with the contested product under Use class 3 conditions.(6) Germany also considers that the application by automated dipping should be limited to systems with a sufficiently high degree of automation due to unacceptable risks on the human health of professional users.(7) The Commission invited the other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notification in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. Comments were submitted within that deadline by Germany, Denmark and the applicant. The notification was also discussed between the Commission and Member States' Competent Authorities for biocidal products on 24 September 2013 in the meeting of the coordination group established under Article 35 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.(8) With regard to the risks for the environment, from those discussions and comments it follows that the evaluation carried out by Denmark is compatible with current guidance (5). Where a risk is identified at time 1 as a result of a worst-case assumption, safe use of treated wood under Use classes 2 and 3 conditions can be assumed when the risk for the environment at the end of the service life is deemed acceptable.(9) The Commission also notes that cases where an unacceptable risk is identified at time 1 are currently under discussion at Union level in order to establish a harmonised approach. Against this background the Commission considers that, until such an approach is formally adopted, the conclusions of the assessment of the contested product by the Denmark should be considered as valid until the renewal of the product authorisation.(10) In the light of those comments, the Commission supports the conclusions of the evaluation carried out by Denmark and the other Member States having approved the product through mutual recognition, considering that the contested product fulfils the requirements set by Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to the environment. The Commission therefore considers that the request by Germany to restrict the authorisation cannot be justified on the grounds put forward.(11) With regard to the application by automated dipping, the Commission considers that the contested product should be subject to the provisions established by a previous Commission Decision (6) addressing the protection of the health of professional users when applying IPBC containing products by this application method. Consequently, the contested product should be authorised subject to instructions on the label restricting the use to fully automated dipping processes and the product authorisation should be amended accordingly.(12) Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 applies to the contested product in accordance with the provisions of Article 92(2) of that Regulation. Since the legal basis for this Decision is Article 36(3) of that Regulation, this decision should be addressed to all Member States by virtue of Article 36(4) of that Regulation.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. This Decision applies to products identified by the following application reference number in the Reference Member State, as provided for by the Register for Biocidal Products:2010/5411/6906/DK/AA/8325 The proposal by Germany to restrict the authorisation granted by Denmark on 19 December 2011 of the products referred to in the Article 1, is rejected. Where used for automated dipping, authorisations of biocidal products identified by the application reference number listed in Article 1 shall include a condition that the label of the products contains the following instruction:‘Product (insert name of the product) must only be used in fully automated dipping processes where all steps in the treatment and drying process are mechanised and no manual handling takes place, including when the treated articles are transported through the dip tank to the draining/drying and storage (if not already surface dry before moving to storage). Where appropriate, the wooden articles to be treated must be fully secured (e.g. via tension belts or clamping devices) prior to treatment and during the dipping process, and must not be manually handled until after the treated articles are surface dry.’ This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

39507,"Commission Directive 2011/19/EU of 2 March 2011 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include tau-fluvalinate as active substance and amending Decision 2008/934/EC  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,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 Article 6(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) 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 included tau-fluvalinate.(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within two months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of tau-fluvalinate.(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).(4) The application was submitted to Denmark, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(5) Denmark evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 1 October 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on tau-fluvalinate to the Commission on 17 June 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for tau-fluvalinate.(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing tau-fluvalinate may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include tau-fluvalinate in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information confirming the results of the risk assessment on the basis of most recent scientific knowledge, as regards the risk to aquatic organisms, the risk to non-target arthropods and on the possible impact on the environment of the potential enantio-selective degradation in environmental matrices.(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing tau-fluvalinate to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of tau-fluvalinate and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning tau-fluvalinate in the Annex to that Decision.(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.(14) 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 I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. The line concerning tau-fluvalinate in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing tau-fluvalinate as an active substance by 30 November 2011.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to tau-fluvalinate are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing tau-fluvalinate as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning tau-fluvalinate. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing tau-fluvalinate as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing tau-fluvalinate as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

According to the request, the aforementioned anti-dumping duty is allegedly circumvented by:(i) imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China which have been transhipped via Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan respectively;(ii) imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China which, after having been the subject of slight modifications, are declared as refillable and/or reflintable lighters although, in practical terms, they are not.Furthermore, a request was made to make these imports subject to registration by the customs authorities pursuant to Article 14(5) of the Basic Regulation and where justified, to extend the above anti-dumping duty to them.(b) APPLICANT(2) The request was lodged by the European Lighters Manufacturers' Federation on 24 March 1998 on behalf of the following Community producers:- Bic SA, Clichy Cedex, France,- Flamagas SA, Barcelona, Spain,- Tokai Seiki GmbH, Mรถnchengladbach, Germany.According to the request, these companies are all manufacturers of disposable lighters and their collective output represents approximately 60 % of the total Community production of the like product.(c) PRODUCT(3) The product concerned in the original investigation and in the review investigation (hereinafter 'the previous investigation`), which resulted in an amendment of the anti-dumping duty in force by Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/95 (5), was gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters or disposable lighters. Disposable lighters are currently classifiable under CN code ex 9613 10 00. This CN code is given for information only.As described in more detail below, the request to initiate the current investigation alleges, inter alia, that the existing measures are being circumvented by altering disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China and the only purpose of these alterations is to cause custom authorities to classify such imported lighters under a customs tariff heading different from that covering disposable lighters.(d) REGISTRATION(4) In view of the fact that circumvention is alleged to take place, inter alia, by imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China which are declared as refillable and/or reflintable lighters although in practical terms, they are not, registration of imports falling within CN code ex 9613 20 90 (refillable lighters) should be limited to lighters with an average free-at-Community-frontier, duty unpaid value per piece of less than ECU 0,5 (low-value lighters). This limitation of registration appears reasonable since it can be assumed that lighters with a price per piece of ECU 0,5 and more are non-disposable.Registration should also cover imports into the Community of disposable lighters from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.The purpose of registration is to ensure that, should the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China be extended to imports of altered low-value lighters declared as non-disposable and originating in the People's Republic of China and/or to disposable lighters consigned from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it may be collected from the date of such registration.(e) EVIDENCE(5) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence, in accordance with the requirements of Article 13 of the Basic Regulation, to indicate that the anti-dumping duty on imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China is being circumvented.(6) The evidence submitted is as follows:A. With regard to imports of disposable lighters allegedly originating in the People's Republic of China which have been transhipped via Hong Kong, Macao or Taiwan:(i) According to the request, there has been a change in the pattern of trade between third countries and the Community resulting from a practice for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping duty.The request contains evidence, based on Eurostat figures, that direct imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China have decreased by more than 70 % between 1994 and 1997 (first nine months of 1997 extrapolated to an annual basis), i.e. after initiation of the previous investigation. These imports appear to have been partially replaced by imports of lighters from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan which have more than trebled over the same period.Allegedly, these latter imports are of Chinese origin and are simply transhipped through Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan respectively. This allegation is strengthened by the coincidence in time between the substantial decrease of imports directly from the People's Republic of China and the increase of imports, apparently, from three new origins.(ii) Furthermore, the applicant provided evidence that the disposable lighters imported from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan respectively are sold at lower prices than those exported from the People's Republic of China to the Community during the investigation period concerning the previous investigation. Therefore, it is alleged that dumping is taking place at an even higher level than was found in the previous investigation and that the remedial effects of the anti-dumping duty are being undermined in terms of prices and quantities of the disposable lighters imported via Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan respectively.B. With regard to alterations in the disposable lighters which causes them to be classified under a different customs tariff heading(i) The request contains evidence that part of the change in the pattern of trade results from the fact that imports of Chinese disposable lighters have been replaced to a large extent by lighters which have been modified in such a way that they appear to be classifiable under the Tariff heading for non-disposable lighters. Imports of so-called non-disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China have increased significantly (by more than 400 %) over the period 1994 to 1997 (first nine months of 1997 extrapolated to an annual basis).The complaint alleges that, in fact, the disposable lighters have been simply altered by the addition of a valve, which should allow for the product to be refilled and, therefore, re-used. However, technical tests show that it is neither practical nor economically viable to refill and re-use these altered lighters. Finally, Community importers do not advertise such lighters as refillable to their buyers.According to the request, under these circumstances, there is no economic justification for the process of adding a valve to the lighter. The only reason for altering the lighters would be the existence of an anti-dumping duty on imports of disposable lighters originating in the People's Republic of China.(ii) Furthermore, the request contains evidence that the remedial effects of the anti-dumping duty are being undermined, in terms of prices and quantities, by imports of the so-called non-disposable lighters, i.e. altered as described above, originating in the People's Republic of China, and that there is dumping in relation to the normal value established in the previous investigation. Indeed, the applicant provided evidence that the so-called non-disposable lighters are sold to the Community at lower prices than the normal values established in the previous investigation. This is despite the addition of a valve which should normally increase production costs and prices.(f) PROCEDURE(7) In the light of the evidence contained in the request, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the Basic Regulation, and to make imports of the lighters mentioned in recital 4 subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the said Regulation.(i) Questionnaires(8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters and the producer mentioned in the request, and the two exporters as well as the producer in the People's Republic of China who participated in the previous investigation. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from Community producers and importers.(9) Other interested parties which can show that they are likely to be affected by the outcome of the investigation, should request a questionnaire from the Commission within 15 days of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Any request for questionnaires must be made in writing to the address mentioned in Article 3(3), and should indicate the name, address, telephone and fax numbers of the requesting party.The authorities of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will be notified of the initiation of the investigation and provided with a copy of the questionnaire and the request.(ii) Certificates of non-circumvention(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the Basic Regulation, certificates, exempting the imports of the product concerned from registration or measures, may be issued by the customs authorities to importers when the importation does not constitute circumvention.Since the issue of this certificate requires the prior authorisation of the Community institutions, requests for such authorisations should be addressed to the Commission as early as possible in the course of the investigation so that they may be considered on the basis of a thorough appraisal of their merits.(g) TIME LIMIT(11) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigation, may make their views known in writing. A period should also be fixed within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(h) NON-COOPERATION(12) Furthermore, it should be stated that, in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limit, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the Basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available,. An investigation, pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, is hereby initiated concerning imports into the Community of(a) refillable pocket flint lighters falling within CN code ex 9613 20 90 originating in the People's Republic of China; and(b) gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 consigned from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. 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 of(a) refillable pocket flint lighters with a free-at-Community-frontier, duty unpaid value per piece of less than ECU 0,5 falling within CN code ex 9613 20 90 (TARIC code 9613 20 90 10) and originating in the People's Republic of China; and(b) gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 (TARIC code 9613 10 00 10) consigned from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.Imports shall not be subject to registration where they are accompanied by a customs certificate issued in accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96. 1. All interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known, present their views in writing, submit information and apply to be heard by the Commission within 40 days from the date of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This time limit applies to all interested parties, including the parties not named in the request, and it is consequently in the interest of these parties to contact the Commission without delay.2. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities.3.

18119,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1555/98 of 17 July 1998 establishing administrative procedures for the 1999 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96 (2), and in particular Articles 2(3) and (4), 13 and 24 thereof,Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1138/98 (4), introduced annual quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China listed in Annex II to that Regulation; whereas the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas;Whereas the Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96 (6), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94; whereas these provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation;Whereas certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota year; whereas it is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realization of the planned imports; whereas in order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the 1999 quotas should accordingly be adopted before the start of the quota year;Whereas after examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted; whereas under this method the quotas are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants;Whereas this has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows;Whereas, however, the introduction of a Community system must ensure progressive access by non-traditional importers; whereas in the light of all these factors a balance must therefore be sought in determining the portions to be allocated to the two categories of importers; whereas, to this end, it is appropriate that the portion set aside for non-traditional importers should be increased as compared to 1998;Whereas the reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for traditional importers in earlier Regulations on the administration of these quotas should be updated to ensure open access to the quotas; whereas in order to allow a greater flexibility to the benefit of traditional importers it is considered appropriate to allow them to set their reference period as either 1996 or 1997, which are the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question; whereas traditional importers must therefore prove that they have imported products originating in China and covered by the quotas in question in the year 1996 or 1997;Whereas it has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers; whereas, consequently, in accordance with Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;Whereas in order to ensure that the quotas can be efficiently allocated and used, any speculative applications should be excluded, and it is furthermore necessary to allocate economically significant quantities; whereas to this end the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume or value;Whereas for the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and other importers;Whereas the Member States must inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94; whereas the information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question;Whereas in view of the special nature of transactions concerning products subject to quota, and in particular the time needed for transport, the import licences should expire on 31 December 1999;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee for the administration of quotas set up pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,. This Regulation lays down for 1999 specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94.Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation. 1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.2. The portions of each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and other importers are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.3. The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested; the volume requested by a single importer may not exceed that shown in Annex II. Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex III to this Regulation from the day following the day of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities until 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 11 September 1998. 1. For the purposes of allocating the portion of each quota set aside for traditional importers, 'traditional` importers shall mean importers who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar year 1996 or 1997.2. The supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall relate to the release for free circulation during either calendar year 1996 or 1997, as indicated by the importer, of products originating in the People's Republic of China which are covered by the quota in respect of which the application is made.3. Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national authorities on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during the calendar year 1996 or 1997 carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over.4. Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (7) shall apply where supporting documents are expressed in national currencies. Member States shall inform the Commission no later than 25 September 1998 at 10 a.m., Brussels time, of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4(1) of this Regulation. The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 14 October 1998. Import licences shall be valid for one year, starting on 1 January 1999.

5675,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 2253/87 of 23 July 1987 terminating the review proceeding and repealing the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of urea and ammonium nitrate in liquid solution originating in the United States of America. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidzed imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 14 and 15 thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee set up by the abovementioned Regulation,Whereas:A. Procedure(1) In February 1986 the Commission received a request for a review of the anti-dumping measures, and in particular those provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 349/81 (2), concerning imports of urea and ammonium nitrate in liquid solution (hereafter referred to as UAN) originating in the United States of America.(2) The request for a review, lodged by the Common Market Committee of the Nitrogenous and Phosphatic Fertilizers Industry (CMC-Engrais) on behalf of manufacturers accounting for almost all of Community production of the product in question, contained evidence of renewed dumping and of injury caused thereby which was considered sufficient to justify review of the abovementioned measures.The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice in Official Journal of the European Communities, (3) the initiation of a review of anti-dumping measures concerning imports into the Community of UAN falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 31.02 C and corresponding to NIMEXE code 31.02-90, originating in the United States of America.(3) The Commission officially advised the producers/exporters and importers known to be concerned and the complainant and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(4) No submissions were made on behalf of Community buyers of the product in question.(5) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of establishing the facts and carried out inspections at the premises of the following:Producers/exporters- Agrico Chemical Company, Tulsa Oklahoma,- Arcadian Corporation, Parsipanny, New Jersey,- CF Industries Inc., Long Grove, Illinois,- Kaichem International Inc., Savannah, Georgia,- Nitron International Corporation, Greenwich, Connecticut.Importer- Kaichem International BV Breda, Netherlands.(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986.B. Dumping(a) Export price(7) As a general rule, export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid for the products sold for export to the Community.(8) In the case of exports to subsidiaries established in the Community, export prices were reconstructed on the basis of the price at which the imported product was first resold to an independent buyer, suitably adjusted to take account of all costs incurred between importation and resale, including customs duties and a 2 % profit margin. This profit margin was considered reasonable in the light of the profit margins of independent importers of the product in question.(b) Normal value(9) For each of the producers/exporters concerned the normal value was established on the basis of the weighted average of comparable domestic selling prices actually paid or payable to these producers/exporters in the ordinary course of trade for like products intended for domestic consumption.(c) Comprarison(10) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability, such as discounts and quantity rebates, commissions, credit terms, transport and insurance, handling, packing and related costs, salesmen's salaries, physical characteristics. Due allowance for such differences was made where claims in these areas could be satisfactorily substantiated.(11) All comparisons were made at the same level of trade - at the ex-producer/exporter level.(d) Dumping margin(12) A comparison between the normal value and export prices showed that the exports in question were not being dumped, except for exports by Kaichem International, for which the weighted average margin amounts to less than 1 %, that is to say an insignificant level which does not justify the adoption of protective measures.C. Injury(13) In view of the above findings concerning dumping, the Commission found that continuing the investigation into alleged injury concerning the imports in question was not justified, given that anti-dumping measures can be imposed only if an investigation proves, during the period covered by the investigation, the existence of more than minimal dumping and that, in the interest of the Community, measures should be taken.D. Termination of review proceeding and repal of anti-dumping measures(14) In these circumstances, therefore, the review proceeding should be terminated without the imposition of further protective measures and the anti-dumping measures currently in force concerning imports of the product originating in the United States of America should be repealed.(15) No objections to this course were raised in the Advisory Committee.(16) The complainant was informed of the considerations and main facts on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding. 1. The review procedure of the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of UAN falling within subheading 31.02 C of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 31.02-90, originating in the United States of America, is hereby terminated.2. The anti-dumping measures currently in force concerning imports of the product referred to in paragraph 1 are hereby repealed with effect from 1 July 1985. National customs authorities shall take the necessary measures entailed by this repeal.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

43624,"2014/843/EU, Euratom: Commission Implementing Decision of 26 November 2014 amending Implementing Decision 2013/747/EU, Euratom authorising the United Kingdom to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base (notified under document C(2014) 8924). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 6(3) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,Whereas:(1) Under Article 371 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), the United Kingdom may continue to exempt the transactions referred to in Annex X, Part B to that Directive, if it exempted those transactions at 1 January 1978; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.(2) In its response of 22 April to the letter of 4 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), the United Kingdom requested authorisation from the Commission to use fixed percentages of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in points 7 and 9 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. The United Kingdom has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. The United Kingdom should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using fixed percentages in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Implementing Decision 2013/747/EU, Euratom (4) accordingly,.

By Commission Decision (2001/381/EC) of 16 May 2001 (3), an undertaking was accepted for a Russian exporting producer ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’.(2) The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, was set at 14,9 % for imports of the product concerned from Russia by Regulation (EC) No 950/2001.2.   Investigation(3) On 20 March 2004 the Commission announced through the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (4), the initiation of a number of partial interim reviews of anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain products originating in the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 22 (c) of the basic Regulation. The anti-dumping measure imposed on imports of certain aluminium foil originating in Russia is one of the measures on which the review was initiated (‘the measures’).(4) The review was launched at the initiative of the Commission in order to examine whether, as a consequence of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘enlargement’), it would be appropriate to adapt the measures.(5) Since a certain quantity of the imports of the product concerned originating in Russia is currently subject to a price undertaking for a specific volume, the review of the measures was initiated in order to examine whether this undertaking, which was drawn up on the basis of data for a Community of 15 Member States, should be adapted to take account of the enlargement.3.   Parties concerned by the investigation(6) All interested parties known to the Commission, including the Community industry, associations of producers or users in the Community, exporters/producers in the countries concerned, importers and their associations and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned as well as interested parties in the ten new Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘the EU10’) were informed of the initiation of the investigation and were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to submit information and to provide supporting evidence within the time-limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.(7) In this regard, the following interested parties made their views known:(a) Community Producers Association:— Eurometaux, Brussels, Belgium(b) Exporting producers:— JSC ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’, Moscow, Russia.B.   PRODUCT CONCERNED(8) The product concerned is aluminium foil of a thickness of 0,009 mm or more up to not more than 0,018 mm, not backed, not further worked than rolled, presented in reels of a width not exceeding 650 mm, currently classifiable within CN code ex 7607 11 10. The product concerned is commonly known as aluminium household foil (‘AHF’).(9) AHF is manufactured by rolling aluminium ingots or foil-stock up to the desired thickness. Once rolled, the foil is annealed by a thermal process to make it pliable. Once rolled and annealed the AHF is presented on reels of a width not exceeding 650 mm. The dimension of the reel is determinant for its use, since the users of this product (‘spoolers’ or ‘rewinders’) will mount the AHF onto small end-rolls destined for retail sale. The AHF rewound onto smaller rolls is then used for multi-purpose short-life wrapping (mostly in households, catering and food and floristry retail business).C.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1.   Claims made by interested parties(10) The Russian exporting producer subject to the price undertaking submitted that the volume of imports to which the price undertaking applies was established on the basis of its sales to the market of the EU15 and that, therefore, the undertaking should be revised in order to take due account of the market of the EU25. It claimed that such revision was essential in order to avoid discrimination in favour of the other exporters of the product concerned to the EU.2.   Comments received from Member States(11) The Member States have made their views known and the majority of them support adapting the measures in order to take account of the enlargement.3.   Assessment(12) An analysis was made of the available data and information which confirmed that the import volumes of the product concerned from Russia into the EU10 were significant. Considering that the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking currently in force was established on the basis of the imports into the Community of 15 Member States, it does not take into account the effect of the increase of the market following the enlargement.4.   Conclusion(13) Considering the above, it is concluded that to take account of the enlargement it is appropriate to adapt the measures in order to cater for the additional volume of imports into the EU10 market.(14) The original volume of imports subject to the price undertaking for the EU15 was calculated on the basis of the exports to the Community during the original investigation period of the Russian producer for whom an undertaking has been accepted. The amount of the increase of the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking has been calculated following the same calculation method.(15) Accordingly, it is considered appropriate that the Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking reflecting the situation after the enlargement and on the basis of the method described in recital 14,. The Commission may accept a proposal for a modified undertaking increasing the volume of imports subject to the price undertaking accepted by Decision 2001/381/EC as regards imports of certain aluminium foil originating in Russia. The increase shall be calculated by using the same calculation method that was used when the original price undertaking was established for the Community of 15 Member States, that is on the basis of the exports to the Community of the Russian producer for whom an undertaking has been accepted. 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..

3342,"Commission Directive 2003/14/EC of 10 February 2003 amending Directive 91/321/EEC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses(1), as last amended by Directive 1999/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,Having regard to the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Food,Whereas:(1) Article 6 of Commission Directive 91/321/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 1999/50/EC(4), stipulates that infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children.(2) On the basis of opinions given by the Scientific Committee on Food on 19 September 1997 and 4 June 1998, Directive 91/321/EEC established a general maximum residue level of 0,01 mg/kg for any individual pesticide in infant formulae and follow-on formulae.(3) In the case of a small number of pesticides or metabolites of pesticides even a maximum residue level of 0,01 mg/kg might, under worst-case intake conditions, allow infants and young children to exceed the acceptable daily intake. This is the case for pesticides or metabolites of pesticides with an acceptable daily intake lower than 0,0005 mg/kg body weight.(4) Directive 91/321/EEC establishes the principle of the prohibition of the use of these pesticides in the production of agricultural products intended for infant formulae and follow-on formulae. The pesticides in question should be listed in Annex IX to Directive 91/321/EEC. However, this prohibition does not necessarily guarantee that products are free from such pesticides, since some pesticides contaminate the environment and their residues may be found in the products concerned.(5) The health of infants and young children can be better protected by applying additional requirements which can be enforced by analysis regardless of a product's origin.(6) Most of the pesticides which have acceptable daily intake values lower than 0,0005 mg/kg body weight are already prohibited in the Community or will be prohibited by July 2003. The prohibited pesticides should not be detectable in infant formulae and follow-on formulae by state of the art analytical methods. However, some pesticides degrade slowly and still contaminate the environment. They might be present in infant formulae and follow-on formulae even if they have not been used. For the purposes of control, a harmonised approach has to be followed.(7) Pending Commission decisions on whether they satisfy the safety requirements of Article 5 of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(5), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/5/EC(6), the continued use of authorised pesticides should be permitted as long as their residues comply with the maximum residue levels established in the present Directive. The latter should be set at levels ensuring that their respective acceptable daily intake values are not exceeded by infants and young children under worst-case intake conditions.(8) Directive 91/321/EEC should be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Directive 91/321/EEC is amended as follows:1. Article 6 is amended as follows:- Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:""1. Infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children. Necessary maximum levels for substances other than those referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be established without delay.""- Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:""3. (a) Those pesticides listed in Annex IX shall not be used in agricultural products intended for the production of infant formulae and follow-on formulae. However, for the purpose of control:(i) pesticides listed in Table 1 of Annex IX are considered not to have been used if their residues do not exceed a level of 0,003 mg/kg. This level which is considered to be the limit of quantification of the analytical methods shall be kept under regular review in the light of technical progress;(ii) pesticides listed in Table 2 of Annex IX are considered not to have been used if their residues do not exceed a level of 0,003 mg/kg. This level shall be kept under regular review in the light of data on environmental contamination.(b) By derogation of paragraph 2, for the pesticides listed in Annex X, the maximum residue levels specified therein shall apply.For pesticides listed in Annex X, where a decision concerning the non-inclusion of an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is taken, Annex IX and Annex X to this Directive shall be amended accordingly.(c) The levels referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) shall apply to the products as proposed ready for consumption or as reconstituted according to the instructions of the manufacturers.""2. Annex IX is replaced by Annex I to this Directive.3. Annex II to this Directive is added as Annex X. 1. The Member States shall authorise trade in products which comply with Article 6(3) of Directive 91/321/EEC by 6 March 2004 at the latest.2. The Member States shall prohibit trade in products which do not comply with Article 6(3) of Directive 91/321/EEC by 6 March 2005.

5426,"2012/76/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 9 February 2012 on the recognition of Uruguay pursuant to Directive 2008/106/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the systems for the training and certification of seafarers (notified under document C(2012) 619)  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2008/106/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on the minimum level of training of seafarers (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 19(3) thereof,Having regard to the request from Spain on 14 February 2006,Whereas:(1) According to Directive 2008/106/EC Member States may decide to endorse seafarers’ appropriate certificates issued by third countries, provided that the third country concerned is recognised by the Commission. Those third countries have to meet all the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW Convention) (2), as revised in 1995.(2) The request for the recognition of Uruguay was submitted by Spain by letter of 14 February 2006. Following this request, the Commission assessed the training and certification system in Uruguay in order to verify whether Uruguay meets all the requirements of the STCW Convention and whether the appropriate measures have been taken to prevent fraud involving certificates. That assessment was based on the results of an inspection carried out by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency in June 2007. During that inspection certain deficiencies in the training and certification systems were identified.(3) The Commission provided the Member States with a report on the results of the assessment.(4) By letters of 16 February 2009 and 8 December 2010, the Commission requested Uruguay to provide evidence demonstrating that the deficiencies identified had been corrected.(5) By letters of 30 April 2009 and 18 March 2011, Uruguay provided the requested information and evidence concerning the implementation of appropriate and sufficient corrective action to address most of the deficiencies identified during the assessment of compliance.(6) Two shortcomings remain. The first refers to the fact that the quality standards system does not cover some of the activities of the administration, such as the approval of training programmes. The other shortcoming relates to the format of certificates. Uruguay has therefore been invited to implement further corrective actions in this respect. However, these shortcomings do not warrant calling into question the overall level of compliance of Uruguay with STCW requirements on training and certification of seafarers.(7) The outcome of the assessment of compliance and the evaluation of the information provided by Uruguay demonstrates that Uruguay complies with the relevant requirements of the STCW Convention, while this country has taken appropriate measures to prevent fraud involving certificates.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,. For the purposes of Article 19 of Directive 2008/106/EC, Uruguay is recognised as regards the systems for the training and certification of seafarers.

233,"81/492/ECSC: Commission Decision of 18 June 1981 authorizing the joint creation of the undertaking Roheisengesellschaft Saar mbH ('Rogesa') by AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke and Stahlwerke Röchling-Burbach GmbH (Only the German text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 66 thereof,Having regard to High Authority Decision No 24/54 of 6 May 1954 laying down, in implementation of Article 66 (1) of the Treaty, a Regulation on what constitutes control of an undertaking (1),Having regard to the applications by Stahlwerke Röchling-Burbach GmbH, dated 14 May 1980 and 24 February 1981, and the application by AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke dated 2 April 1981,Having regard to Commission Decision 78/538/ECSC of 6 June 1978, authorizing Arbed to acquire the whole of the capital of Neunkircher Eisenwerk AG, 25 709 % of the capital of SA Métallurgique et Minière de Rodange-Athus, and to take over the management of the latter company (2),Having obtained the comments of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany,Whereas:I.    1. Aktien-Gesellschaft der Dillinger Hüttenwerke, Dillingen, Saar (""Dillingen""), is an undertaking engaged in steel production within the meaning of Article 80 of the Treaty, with a capital of DM 157 500 000.2. Société Financière Sidérurgique, Paris (""SFS""), is a financial holding company which owns a majority of the shares in and is in a position to control, within the meaning of Article 66, Sacilor-Aciéries et Laminoirs de Lorraine, Hayange (""Sacilor""), a steelproducing undertaking which is also in a position to control certain other steel-producing undertakings in the SFS/Sacilor group.3. The financial structure of Dillingen is currently being reorganized, as a result of which Dillingen, with its capital increased to DM 178 500 000, will be controlled by the SFS/Sacilor group.4. Stahlwerke Röchling-Burbach GmbH (""Röchling-Burbach"") is a steel-producing undertaking with a capital of DM 330 000 000, which is controlled, within the meaning of Article 66, together with certain other steel-producing undertakings, by Arbed SA, Luxembourg, in the Arbed group.5. Dillingen and Röchling-Burbach intend to set up jointly the Roheisengesellschaft Saar mbH, Dillingen (""Rogesa""), with the object of producing pig iron and supplying it to the partners (""Gesellschafter"") on a non-profit basis.6. The founding partners will each subscribe half the capital of Rogesa and will be represented equally on its supervisory board (""Beirat""), to which inter alia §§ 5 to 8 of the Iron and Steel Co-determination Act (""Gesetz über die Mitbestimmung der Arbeitnehmer in den Aufsichtsräten und Vorständen der Unternehmer des Bergbaues und der Eisen und Stahl erzeugenden Industrie"") will be applied by the parties. The supervisory board will appoint the directorate (""Geschäftsführung"") comprising up to four members.7. In these circumstances Dillingen and Röchling-Burbach will be in a position to exercise joint control over Rogesa. The proposed transaction will bring about a concentration within the meaning of Article 66 (1) between Rogesa, Dillingen and the rest of the SFS/Sacilor group on the one hand, and between Rogesa, Röchling-Burbach and the rest of the Arbed group on the other, without leading, however, to a concentration between SFS/Sacilor and Arbed.II.     8. The Rogesa project is an important part of the restructuring plans for the steel industry in the Saarland. The pig iron capacity in the iron and steel works of the Saar totalled about 7 79 million tonnes in 1980 and was distributed among 17 blast furnaces in four different locations - the Dillingen works and the   (1) Official Journal of the ECSC, 11.5.1954, p. 345.  (2) OJ No L 164, 21.6.1978, p. 14.   Völklingen, Burbach and Neunkirchen works of Röchling-Burbach. Most of these blast furnaces are small and relatively inefficient by modern technical standards. Only at Dillingen is there a blast furnace with a 10-m hearth diameter and two others with diameters exceeding eight metres. The ore preparation plants too are scattered and rather small with eight sinter plants spread over four locations. The purpose of Rogesa is to concentrate all sinter and pig iron production in the Saarland on one site - Dillingen - by increasing the efficiency of the largest of the existing blast furnaces and building two new blast furnaces in stages with 11 70-m and 11 75-m hearth diameters. By 1988, after closure of the other blast furnace plants in Völklingen, Burbach and Neunkirchen, pig iron capacity in the Saar will be centred on three modern and efficient production units with a reduced total capacity of about 6 72 million tonnes a year. Hot metal will be supplied direct from the blast furnaces to the steelworks in Dillingen and by rail in torpedo wagons to the steelworks of Röchling-Burbach. Supporting the new blast furnace complex there will be three new sinter plants with a combined capacity of 9 75 million tonnes compared with 7 79 million tonnes at present. The resulting higher proportion of sinter in the burden will increase the productivity of the blast furnaces. Coupled with the scheme is the construction of a harbour, which depends in turn on the canalization of the Saar river, which will yield further useful cost reductions in ore transport costs. Overall the project is expected to produce considerable improvements in efficiency and to provide a valuable contribution towards restoring the competitiveness of the Saarland steel industry.9. In addition there is a plan for the construction of a central coke oven plant at Dillingen, to be controlled jointly by Dillingen, Röchling-Burbach and the Saarbergwerke AG, which will be the subject of a separate application under Article 66 on behalf of the three parties concerned.10. Rogesa will essentially be a producers' cooperative supplying its members at cost price with one of the two main raw materials for steelmaking, namely pig iron (the other being scrap). Rogesa will not normally itself operate on the market as a supplier to third parties outside the Sacilor and Arbed groups. The market for steelmaking pig iron, whether in the form of cold iron or of hot metal, is nowadays very limited and in any case will not be affected by the transaction, since third parties have not been supplied hitherto by the participating groups.11. So far as the market for steel products is concerned, the project will improve the efficiency of the parties by improving their cost base, but it will not affect competition between the parties to a perceptible extent, because the joint production of a raw material can only have a marginal effect on the play of competition between the partners so far as their final products are concerned and in the present case, these are, in any event, different products. In fact Dillingen is interested in the production and sale of flat products (plates and sheets - the latter hire-rolled elsewhere in the Sacilor group), while Röchling-Burbach is interested in the production and sale of long products, in particular wire rods, bars and sections. It is true that the Arbed group is concerned with the production of flat products elsewhere in the Community, particularly at Sidmar in Belgium, but the position of Sidmar will not be affected by the project, which involves the supply of hot metal, necessarily over relatively short distances.12. So far as access to supplies is concerned, the transaction will not place Dillingen and Röchling-Burbach in an artificially privileged position or give them any substantial advantage. The project provides for the supply of up to 2 74 million tonnes a year of pig iron to Dillingen and up to 3 72 million tonnes a year to Röchling-Burbach. If the two partners maintain their present share of German and Community pig iron production, which will depend upon being able to retain their share of steel production and the steel market, the output of Rogesa will represent about 12 % of German pig iron production and 4 % of Community pig iron production. The whole Sacilor group including Dillingen represents 8 76 % and the whole Arbed group including Röchling-Burbach represents 8 77 % of Community production of pig iron (1979 figures). In view of the geographical limitations on the movement of hot metal and the different product and market interests of the two groups, there are no grounds for aggregating the shares of the two groups in order to measure the actual or potential restrictions on competition arising from the transaction. The project needs to be regarded rather as an indispensable means of helping to assure that the two Saarland partners will be able to continue to compete against the various like undertakings in the Community with works more favourably located on coastal sites, on larger waterways or nearer to principal markets.13. Under these circumstances, and taking into account the arguments mentioned above under point 11, it seems fully justified to accept the joint production of a raw material for steelmaking by two important steel groups of the Community. It is essential, however, that Arbed and Sacilor - who are two such  steel groups of considerable importance - should remain autonomous and independent of each other in the production and distribution of steel products, apart from permanent-way material for which joint control and management in the Société des Laminoirs de Villerupt (""Villerupt"") (1) has already been authorized by the Commission.14. Accordingly no manager or member of a managing or supervisory body in the Dillingen/SFS/Sacilor group should exercise any such functions in the Röchling-Burbach/Arbed group or vice versa, except in Rogesa (or in undertakings concerned with the preparatory stages of iron-making) and in Villerupt.15. Finally it is necessary to emphasize that if Rogesa were to be used as a forum for concerted practices or agreements influencing the mutual independence of the two groups beyond the stage at which pig iron is produced and supplied to steelworks, such practices or agreements would fall under the prohibition of Article 65 (1).16. Having regard to the circumstances described in points 8 to 13 above, and if the requirements described in points 14 and 15 are met, the proposed transaction will not give the undertakings concerned the power to determine prices, to control or restrict production or distribution or to hinder the maintenance of effective competition in the common market, or to evade the rules of competition instituted under the Treaty, in particular by establishing an artificially privileged position involving a substantial advantage in access to supplies or markets.17. The proposed transaction accordingly meets the requirements for authorization laid down in Article 66 (2) and may therefore be authorized,. The joint creation of the undertaking Roheisengesellschaft Saar mbH (""Rogesa"") by AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke and Stahlwerke Röchling-Burbach GmbH is hereby authorized. The following obligation is attached to the authorization:No manager or member of a managing or supervisory body in the Dillingen/SFS/Sacilor group shall exercise any such functions in the Röchling-Burbach/Arbed group or vice versa. This obligation does not apply to any undertaking authorized to be controlled jointly by the two groups. If special circumstances so justify, the Commission may, in response to a reasoned request, authorize exceptions from this obligation.

15560,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1285/96 of 3 July 1996 initiating a 'new exporter' review of Council Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 concerning the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of synthetic fibres of polyester originating, inter alia, in India, repealing the duty with regard to imports from an exporter in this country and making these 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), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,After consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. Request for a review(1) The Commission has received an application for a 'new exporter` review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`). The application was lodged on 15 January 1996 by Vital Filaments Limited, India, an exporter in India which claims it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based with regard to the determination of dumping, i.e. the period from 1 January to 31 August 1990 (hereinafter referred to as 'the original investigation period`).B. Product(2) The product concerned is synthetic staple fibres of polyester, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, commonly referred to as synthetic fibres of polyester and currently classifiable within CN code 5503 20 00. This code is given for information only and has no binding effect on the classification of the product.C. Existing measures(3) By Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 (2), the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 7,2 % on imports of the product concerned originating in India, with the exception of several companies especially mentioned which are subject to a lesser duty.D. Grounds for the review(4) The applicant, Viral Filaments Limited, India, has shown that it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in India which are subject to the aforementioned anti-dumping measures on the product concerned, and that it actually started exporting to the Community after the original investigation period. The applicant has further shown that it entered into a long-term contract to export a significant quantity of the product concerned to the Community.(5) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment.(6) In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation with a view to determine the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of duty to which its imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.E. Repeal of the duty in force and registration of imports(7) Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force shall be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in India which are produced and exported by the applicant. At the same time, such imports shall be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14 (5) of that Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a determination of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively to the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant's possible future liability is not susceptible to estimation at this stage of the proceeding.F. Time limit(8) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided that they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigation, may make their views known in writing and provide supporting evidence. A period should also be fixed, within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing, giving particular reasons why they should be heard. Furthermore, it should be noted that in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the relevant time limits, 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,. Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 is hereby initiated in order to determine if and to what extent imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyester, not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning (synthetic fibres of polyester) falling within CN code 5503 20 00, originating in India, produced and exported by Viral Filaments Limited, Abhishek, Irla Bridge, SV Road, Andheri (West), Bombay 400 058, India, shall be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93. The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 is hereby repealed with regard to imports of the product identified in Article 1 (Taric additional code: 8897). The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1. Registration shall expire nine months following from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known, present their views in writing and submit information within 37 days from the date of transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same time limit. The transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country shall be deemed to have taken place on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.Any information relating to the matter and any request for a hearing should be sent to the following address:European Commission,Directorate-General for External Economic RelationsCort 100 4/30Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200,B-1049 Brussels (3).

5512,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 468/2012 of 1 June 2012 amending Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 laying down requirements for the certification for imports into and transit through the Union of certain composite products  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 8(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 (2) lays down rules on the certification of consignments of certain composite products introduced into the Union from third countries, including composite products containing processed egg products.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012, consignments of composite products introduced into or transited through the Union are to be accompanied by a health certificate in accordance with the models set out in Annexes I and II thereto and comply with the conditions established in that certificate.(3) The model certificates set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 do not currently include detailed conditions as regards processed egg products contained in composite products which are being introduced into or transited through the Union.(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (3) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, through the Union of certain commodities, including egg products. It provides that commodities imported into or transited through the Union are to be accompanied by a veterinary certificate for the commodity concerned and comply with the conditions set out therein.(5) Processed egg products present a potential risk for animal health, also when they are used to manufacture certain composite products. It is therefore appropriate that the same conditions which must be complied with by egg products pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, when those products are introduced into or transited through the Union, apply also to processed egg products used to manufacture composite products.(6) The model certificates set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 include the condition that the country of origin of meat or milk products used to manufacture composite products imported into or transited through the Union is authorised by relevant Union legislation to export meat or milk products into the Union. In addition, those model certificates include the condition that the country of origin of the meat or milk products be the same as the country of export of the composite products.(7) Those two conditions ensure that meat and milk products originating from third countries and used to manufacture composite products comply with Union rules for human and animal health. However, the condition that the country of origin and the country of export be the same does not allow for the import into and transit through the Union of composite products exported from a third country but which contain meat and milk products originating in the Union.(8) Meat and milk products originating in the Union are in compliance with the human and animal health conditions laid down in Union legislation. It is therefore appropriate to amend the conditions included in the model certificates set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 to allow the use of meat and milk products originating in the Union to manufacture composite products in third countries authorised to export composite products to the Union.(9) Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries (4) provides that Member States are to authorise imports into the Union of certain meat products that comply with the conditions concerning origin and treatment set out in Annex II thereto. That Annex sets out rules on a non-specific treatment (treatment A) to which the imported products are to be subjected when they originate in third countries where the animal health status does not present a risk for the animal health status in the Union. Since those products may be directly imported into the Union, it is appropriate to amend the conditions included in the model certificates set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 to allow the use of such meat products to manufacture composite products in third countries authorised to export composite products to the Union, provided that the third country exporting the composite products ensures that those meat products comply with the health and origin requirements foreseen in Union legislation and that it is authorised to export itself the same meat products to the Union under the same conditions.(10) Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 of 2 July 2010 laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions for the introduction into the European Union of raw milk and dairy products intended for human consumption (5) provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of consignments of raw milk and dairy products from the third countries or parts thereof listed in column A of Annex I thereto. In addition, Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of consignments of certain dairy products from the third countries or parts thereof not at risk from foot-and-mouth disease listed in column B of Annex I thereto, provided that such dairy products have undergone, or been produced from raw milk which has undergone a pasteurisation treatment involving a single heat treatment as laid down in that Regulation. Since those dairy products may be directly imported into the Union, it is appropriate to amend the conditions included in the model certificates set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 to allow the use of such dairy products to manufacture composite products in third countries authorised to export composite products to the Union, provided that the third country exporting the composite products ensures that those milk products comply with the health and origin requirements foreseen in Union legislation and that it is authorised to export itself the same dairy products to the Union under the same conditions.(11) Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) To avoid any disruption of trade, the use of certificates issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 prior to the entry into force of this Regulation should be authorised for a transitional period.(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation. For a transitional period until 31 December 2012, consignments of composite products accompanied by certificates issued before 1 October 2012 in accordance with the models set out in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 28/2012 before the amendments introduced by this Regulation may continue to be introduced into the Union.

The Annex to that Decision demarcates and lists certain areas differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.(2) Since the beginning of August 2014, several new outbreaks in domestic pigs were reported near the Latvian border with third countries as well as near the border with Estonia. Cases in feral pigs were found in Latvia in areas currently outside the scope of Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU. In addition, since the beginning of August 2014, several new outbreaks occurred in domestic pigs in Lithuania and in Poland. The number, the size and the location of the outbreaks reveal a change in the distribution of the disease.(3) The evolution of the current epidemiological situation should be considered in the assessment of the risk represented by the animal health situation in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and in neighbouring third countries. In order to focus animal health control measures and to prevent the spread of African swine fever as well as to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures provided for in Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU should be amended to take into account the current animal health situation as regards that disease in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland and in neighbouring third countries.(4) It is therefore necessary to replace the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU to include the relevant areas of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.(5) Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,.

4420,"2007/271/EC: Commission Decision of 23 April 2007 concerning the financial contribution by the Community for the OIE Conference in 2007 Towards the elimination of rabies in Eurasia. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing financial contributions from the Community towards specific veterinary measures, including technical and scientific measures. More particularly, the Community is to undertake, or assist the Member States or international organisations in undertaking, the technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of Community veterinary legislation and for the development of veterinary education or training.(2) The Office International des Epizooties (OIE) has taken the initiative of organising a large scale conference ‘Towards the elimination of rabies in Eurasia’ to be held in May 2007 in Paris (‘the OIE conference’). Because the aim of the OIE Conference is to further elaborate the recommendations of the conference held by OIE in Kiev in 2005, the OIE has a de facto monopoly as mentioned in Article 168(c) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the financial regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (2); hence a call for proposals is not required.(3) Rabies has been present for many years in several Member States in wildlife that serve as a reservoir for infections in other animals and thereby represent a serious health risk for humans. Those Member States have implemented eradication and oral vaccination programmes in wildlife. As a result of those measures, the disease has been eradicated in certain Member States but is still present in others where eradication programmes started more recently.(4) Those programmes need to be maintained until the complete eradication of rabies is achieved. Furthermore, programmes will need to be maintained in those Member States bordering third countries where rabies is still present in wildlife.(5) In the interests of animal health, any action which could facilitate policy decisions in favour of rabies control and eradication in countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia should be encouraged.(6) The OIE conference could result in improvements in the veterinary legislation in force and in development in veterinary education and training of the participating countries.(7) It is therefore appropriate to make a Community financial contribution to the OIE conference. The maximum amount and rate of such contribution should be specified. The Community financial contribution shall be from budget line 17 04 02 01.(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,. A Community financial contribution, as provided for in Article 19 of Decision 90/424/EEC, at a maximum rate of 25 % of eligible costs up to a maximum amount of EUR 50 000 is awarded to the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) for the technical and scientific materials related to the conference: ‘Towards the elimination of Rabies in Eurasia’, to be held in Paris in May 2007..

1574,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 2455/93 of 2 September 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1798/90 in respect of the definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of monosodium glutamate originating in Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,Whereas:A. Previous procedure  (1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1798/80 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of monosodium glutamate (hereafter referred to as 'MSG') falling within CN code ex 2922 42 00 (originating in Indonesia, the  Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, with the exception of imports from certain producers in these countries from which the Commission accepted undertakings under Regulation (EEC) No 547/90 (3) and Decision 92/493/EEC (4).B. Review  (i) General(2) By a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5), the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee and in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, initiated a review of the Regulations  and Decision which imposed the anti-dumping measures currently in force and re-opened the investigation. The review was limited to an examination of changed circumstances in injury, in particular the question whether the price undertakings accepted by  the Commission had been rendered insufficient to eliminate the injurious effects suffered by the Community industry.(ii) Injury(3) As far as the dumped imports are concerned, the Commission found that, between 1989 and the first nine months of 1992, imports from the countries concerned increased from 3 800 tonnes to 9 696 tonnes, representing an increase in market share from  8,7 to 26,1 %. The prices of these imports were, in US dollar terms, in line with the prices set in the undertakings accepted by the Commission while in ECU terms they were lower by up to 20 % over the period examined.(4) As far as the situation of the Community industry is concerned, the volume of sales of MSG in the Community by that industry increased by 13 % between 1989 and the first nine months of 1992 extrapolated on an annual basis, although the market share  held by that industry decreased by 4,5 % during the same period. The prices charged by the Community industry were, given the highly price sensitive nature of MSG, in line with those of the imports concerned, which, as stated above, were somewhat lower  than the prices set in the undertakings. Consequently, the Community industry was prevented from further increasing its prices to a level adequate to remove the injury sustained.(5) The Commission also found that while the trend in costs and prices had brought the Community industry back into profit during the first nine months of 1992, these profits were totally insufficient to ensure the viability of the business. This lack  of adequate profit furthermore threatens the industry's investment programme and thus its competitiveness.(6) The Commission concluded, therefore, that material injury is still being suffered by the Community industry despite certain positive effects of the anti-dumping measures currently in force. It was found that the remaining injury was caused by the  continued low prices of the imports concerned in spite of the measures in force, and a subsequent increase in the volume of these imports.(iii) Community interest(7) The Commission considered that, given the small impact of the increase envisaged in the level of the measures on the users of MSG and the requirement that the Community industry be allowed to make a return on the substantial investments recently  made, it was in the interest of the Community that the anti-dumping measures remain in force, duly amended to remove any remaining material injury.(iv) Undertakings(8) Having completed its investigation, the Commission disclosed its findings to the producers in the exporting countries concerned from which undertakings had been accepted before the initiation of the review. New price undertakings were subsequently  offered by these producers with the exception of one company in Thailand which ceased exporting to the Community prior to 1992. Following consultations with the Advisory Committee, one Member State raised objections to the acceptance of the new  undertakings. The Commission, by Decision 93/479/EEC (6), subsequently accepted the new undertakings.(v) Definitive duties(9) The Commission also considered the situation of those producers in each of the countries concerned which had not made themselves known during the proceeding and were subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty. In this respect, Recital 32 of Decision  93/479/EEC established that, since the dumping situation had not been investigated in the framework of the review, it was considered appropriate that the level of the definitive duties applicable to these producers should remain unchanged.As to the company in Thailand which ceased exporting to the Community before 1992 and which did not offer a new undertaking, Recital 33 of Decision 93/479/EEC established that no individual anti-dumping measures should be maintained for this company.  Consequently, if this company should, in the future, resume exporting to the Community, it would receive the usual treatment given to any other exporter in Thailand which had not offered an undertaking.C. Amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/90 following the results of the review  (10) The Council considers it appropriate in view of the foregoing findings to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1798/90 to include within the scope of the definitive anti-dumping  duty applicable to imports of MSG originating in Thailand, future imports from that company which ceased exporting to the Community before 1992.(11) The Community industry concerned was informed of the main facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to recommend the further amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/90 and did not object,. Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/90 is hereby replaced by the following:'Article 11. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of monosodium glutamate falling within CN code ex 2922 42 00 (Taric code 2922 42 00 * 10) originating in Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.2. The amount of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before customs duty, shall be as follows:the following companies, which shall be excluded from the duties: This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

14440,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of  the markets in the sugar sector  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1101/95  (2), and in  particular Article 17 (15) thereof;Whereas the Agreement on Agriculture reached during the Uruguay Round multilateral trade  negotiations, hereinafter referred to as the 'Agreement`, requires in particular that the  regulations applicable to exports of sugar be adapted; whereas Title II (Trade with third  countries) of the basic Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 was revised as a result of that Agreement by  Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94  (3); whereas, consequently, the detailed rules of application  for granting export refunds on sugar laid down by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 394/70  (4), as  last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2529/94  (5), and (EEC) No 1469/77  (6), as amended by  Regulation (EEC) No 1714/88  (7), should also be reviewed, the Regulations being repealed while  those provisions still relevant to the application of the refund system are carried over;Whereas candy sugar, which is manufactured from white sugar or refined raw sugar, very often has a  degree of polarization of less than 99,5  %; whereas, in view of the high degree of purity of the  raw material used, the refund on candy sugar should be as close as possible to the refund on white  sugar; whereas a precise definition of candy sugar should be laid down;Whereas the intervention prices for white sugar and raw sugar are fixed without taking account of  the storage levy provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81; whereas, however,  account should be taken of the impact of that levy on sugar prices and the export refunds should be  determined accordingly;Whereas, in order to ensure equal treatment of all parties concerned in the Community, a standard  method for determining the sucrose content of certain products should be laid down; whereas special  provisions must be laid down to cover cases where that method does not allow the total sucrose  content to be determined;Whereas, in the case of syrups with a relatively low degree of purity, the sucrose content should  be fixed at a flat rate on the basis of the extractable sugar content;Whereas exports of white sugar to third countries are more and more frequently preceded by storage  in bulk in port warehouses or silos, bagging being carried out at the last minute when the ship is  ready to be loaded or on board the vessel itself; whereas, as a result, such operations imply the  shared use at the port concerned of a silo in which sugar from various sugar companies is stored  and therefore mixed; whereas, as the regulations now stand, in order to qualify for advance payment  of refunds, since sugar must be stored under conditions permitting it to be identified physically,  mixing with other sugar is not permitted; whereas this situation thus prevents a major percentage  of Community sugar exported to third countries from qualifying for advance payment of export  refunds;Whereas, furthermore, the special features of white sugar, namely its high degree of technical and  commercial homogeneity, make it possible to relax the regulatory constraints on that product while  still ensuring that the product is actually exported after payment of the refund; whereas, under  these circumstances, mixing white sugar from various sources at one place of storage should under  certain conditions (in particular subject to controls) be permitted for the purposes of the advance  payment of export refunds, by amending the relevant provisions on the sugar sector;Whereas, with a view to granting export refunds on isoglucose and inulin syrup, limits should be  laid down as regards the fructose and polysaccharide content in order to ensure that the refund is  granted only on the true product as such; whereas, as regards inulin syrup, the production quotas  and production levies are established at the same level as for sugar and isoglucose by applying a  coefficient of 1,9; whereas, as a result, the refund on inulin syrup should be established using  that coefficient; whereas the export refund on isoglucose and inulin syrup should be fixed each  month in line with the monthly fixing of other refunds in the sugar sector;Whereas it is economically desirable to provide for the possibility of refunds being adjusted in  cases where changes occur in the intervention prices and the price for molasses between the time  they are fixed and actual export;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Sugar,. For the purposes of Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, 'candy  sugar` means sugar which:(a)  comprises large crystals at least 5 mm in length, obtained by cooling and slow crystallization  of a sufficiently concentrated sugar solution,and (b)  contains 96  % or more sucrose by weight in the dry state, determined in accordance with the  polarimetric method. For the purposes of Articles 17a (2) (b) and 17c of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, the  export refund shall be fixed taking account of the storage levy referred to in Article 8 of  Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 which is fixed for the marketing year in question. 1.  The export refund per 100 kg of products listed in Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation  (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be equal to a basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content of the product  in question as determined plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars calculated in sucrose  equivalent.2.  Without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4, the sucrose content plus, where applicable, the  content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be the total sugar content resulting from  application of the Lane and Eynon method (copper reduction method) to the inverted solution in  accordance with Clerger-Herzfeld. The total sugar content determined in accordance with that method  shall be converted into sucrose by multiplying it by a coefficient of 0,95.3.  In the case of syrups of a purity of not less than 85  % but less than 94,5  %, the sucrose  content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall be fixed at  a flat rate of 73  % by weight in the dry state. The percentage purity of syrups shall be  calculated by dividing the total sugar content by the dry matter content and multiplying the result  by 100. The total sugar content shall be determined in accordance with the method referred to in  paragraph 2 and the dry matter content in accordance with the areometric method.4.  In the case of caramel obtained exclusively from non-denatured sugar covered by CN code 1701,  the surcrose content plus, where applicable, the content of other sugars expressed as sucrose shall  be determined on the basis of the dry matter content. The dry matter content shall be determined on  the basis of the density of the diluted solution in a weighted ratio of one to one. The result of  the determination of the dry matter content shall be expressed as sucrose by multiplying it by a  coefficient of one.However, on request, to take account of caramel as referred to above, the actual amount used of  sucrose plus, where applicable, of other sugars expressed as sucrose may be determined where the  candy has been manufactured under a customs warehousing or free zone procedure providing equivalent  guarantees.5.  The basic amount referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to syrups with a purity of less  than 85  %. Where white sugar covered by CN code 1701  99  10 and produced from beet or cane  harvested in the Community or from raw sugar imported into the Community under preferential  arrangements is stored in bulk under a customs warehousing or free zone procedure laid down for  advance payment of the refund as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80  (1), the sugar may,  in addition to the operations provided for in Article 28 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No  3665/87  (2), be mixed at the same place of storage with other white sugar also covered by CN code  1701  99  10, of the same origin as referred to above, of the same commercial quality and with  equivalent technical characteristics. Export refunds may only be granted on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (f) and (g)  of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 where the products:-  are obtained by isomerization of glucose,-  have a fructose content by weight in the dry state of not less than 41  %,and -  have a total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides,  including di- and trisaccharides, of not more than 8,5  %.The dry matter content of isoglucose shall be determined on the basis of the density of the diluted  solution in a proportion by weight of one to one or, in the case of products with a very high  consistency, by drying. The refund shall be fixed each month. Export refunds may only be granted on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (h) of  Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 where the products:-  are obtained immediately after hydrolysis of inulin or oligofructose,-  have a fructose content by weight in the dry state of at least 80  %,and -  have a total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides,  including di- and trisaccharides, of not more than 8,5  %.The export refund on the products listed in Article 1 (1) (h) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall  be equal, per 100 kg of dry matter, to the export refund fixed for the product referred to in  Article 1 (1) (f) of that Regulation multiplied by a coefficient of 1,9. The refund shall be fixed  each month. If, during the period between:-  the day of lodging of the application for an export licence where the refund is fixed  periodically, or -  the closing date for the submission of tenders where the refund is fixed by invitation to tender and the day of export, there is a change in the prices of sugar or molasses fixed pursuant to  Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, provision may be made for the refund to be adjusted. Regulations (EEC) No 394/70 and (EEC) No 1469/77 are hereby repealed.

Crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is hereby opened for a maximum of 370 000 hectolitres of table wines and 130 000 hectolitres of quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr) in Greece, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 concerning this type of distillation.

Article 9 of that Directive lays down criteria for the approval of compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease. In addition, Article 10 of that Directive provides that where a Member State considers its territory or part thereof to be free of such diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission.(2) Commission Decision 2008/185/EC of 21 February 2008 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease and criteria to provide information on this disease (2) lays down the additional guarantees for movements of pigs between Member States.

This aggravation is the consequence of both a continuous increase of feed prices due to the combined effects of adverse climatic conditions affecting some of the most important Union and world suppliers of grains, and of the decrease of prices resulting from the reduction of the internal demand in the context of the economic crisis affecting Portugal. The increase of the feed prices which represent a significant part of the production costs has immediate consequences on the Portuguese dairy sector in particular by squeezing the margins and putting holdings in financial difficulties at the end of the year 2012. This in turn has led to an emergency for the dairy sector, resulting in serious practical and specific problems for farmers of dairy cows that could not have been foreseen at the time when decisions, for the year 2012, for support pursuant to Article 68 of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 could be reviewed in accordance with Article 68(8) of that Regulation.(2) Portugal wishes to increase the level of support foreseen in the framework of the dairy specific support measure currently implemented under Article 68(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in order to help farmers concerned to face this situation in the short term. Accordingly, Portugal has requested to be authorised to revise its decision on the implementation of specific support for 2012 in view of introducing support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in substitution to support currently implemented under Article 68(1)(a)(i) of that Regulation. Portugal intends to use the resulting available amounts for increasing the level of support to dairy farmers within the measure implemented under Article 68(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.(3) Therefore, and given that a review of the decision on the implementation of specific support for 2012 is no longer possible under Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, it is appropriate to derogate from that provision to allow Portugal to amend the scheme implemented for that year.(4) For the same reasons, it is appropriate to derogate from the deadline laid down in Article 50(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (2) for notification of such a review to the Commission.(5) According to Article 44 of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, Article 27(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 of 15 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (3) applies mutatis mutandis to support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006, in conjunction with Annex IV of that Regulation, sets out the criteria for determining the threshold of loss to farming of local breeds indigenous to the area and in danger of being lost to farming.(6) According to Portugal, there is a decline in the population of the bovine breeds ‘Alentejena’ and ‘Mertolenga’, of the sheep breeds ‘Serra de Estrela’ and ‘Churros’ and of the ‘Serrana’ goat breed due to the increasing trend in crossing or substituting local breeds with exotic breeds, putting them under threat of being lost for farming. Even so, given their great capacity of adaptation to the environment without producing an excessive pressure on the natural resources, those local breeds are part of agricultural and pasture systems with high natural value. For the purpose of granting support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in view of maintaining the population of such animals at an appropriate level for preserving the genetic heritage they represent, while protecting the legitimate expectations of farmers having applied for support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) for the year 2012, it is necessary to derogate from Article 44(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 as regards the criteria for determining the threshold of loss to farming of local breeds indigenous to the area and in danger of being lost to farming.(7) Pursuant to Article 12(1)(a) and (e) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards cross-compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system, under the direct support schemes for farmers provided for that Regulation, as well as for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards cross-compliance under the support scheme provided for the wine sector (4), the single application is to contain all information necessary to establish eligibility for the aid, in particular the aid scheme concerned and a statement by the farmer that he is aware of the conditions pertaining to the aid scheme in question.(8) Given that specific support under Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 consists of several measures with different eligibility conditions, farmers are required to indicate in the single application for which specific measure they apply. In order to address the situation in the dairy sector still in 2012, Portugal intends to consider applications lodged in the calendar year 2012 for support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as applications for the envisaged support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of that Regulation for the same calendar year, taking into account the legitimate expectations of farmers concerned. In this respect, it is therefore appropriate to derogate from Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009.(9) As the derogations concern the year 2012, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,. Derogation from Regulation (EC) No 73/2009By way of derogation from Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Portugal may, by [the day after the day of publication in the OJ, Office of Publications please insert the date], review the decision taken pursuant to Article 69(1) of that Regulation and modify, with effect for the year 2012, the specific support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) and Article 68(1)(a)(v) of that Regulation. Derogations from Regulation (EC) No 1120/20091.   By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 50(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, Portugal shall inform the Commission by [the fifth working day after the day of publication in the OJ, Office of Publications please insert the date] of the specific support measure they intend to apply under Article 68(1)(a)(v) pursuant to Article 1 of this Regulation.2.   By way of derogation from Article 44(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, the thresholds referred to in Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 shall not apply for the year 2012 in relation to support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for the cattle breeds ‘Alentejana’ and ‘Mertolenga’, the sheep breeds ‘Serra de Estrela’ and ‘Churros’ and the goat breed ‘Serrana’. Derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009By way of derogation from Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1122/2009, applications lodged in the calendar year 2012 for support under Article 68(1)(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in respect of the breeds referred to in Article 2(2) may be considered as applications for support under Article 68(1)(a)(v) of the Regulation for the same calendar year.

It considered that this conclusion cannot, however, be drawn for the whole lactation period. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of the preparation of alpha-amylase produced by Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 21564) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. AuthorisationThe preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

35096,"2008/400/EC: Commission Decision of 11 March 2008 concerning State aid C 28/07 (ex NN 33/07) where Italy Intends the prolongation of eligible investment expenditure until 2008 (notified under document number C(2008) 831) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to those provisions (1) and having regard to their comments,Whereas:I.   PROCEDURE(1) On 26 February 2007 Italy adopted the Law No 17/2007 (2), including Article 4-bis which prolongs the application of a regional aid scheme providing automatic tax credits for new investments in the assisted areas of Italy, which had been approved in 2001 and 2002 by the Commission (3) and which expired on 31 December 2006.(2) By letter dated 7 March 2007 (D/50987) the Commission requested the Italian authorities to submit information on Article 4-bis of the Law No 17/2007. The Italian authorities replied by letter, registered at the Commission on 19 March 2007 (A/32387).(3) By letter of 10 July 2007 (4), the Commission informed Italy of its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the measure created by Article 4-bis of the Law No 17/2007.(4) The Commission Decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (5). The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments on the aid.(5) The Commission received no comments from interested parties.(6) By letter dated 24 July 2007, registered at the Commission on 25 July 2007, the Commission was informed of the intention of the Italian authorities to repeal the measure. By e-mail of 9 October 2007, the Italian authorities confirmed their intention and submitted a draft legal provision repealing the measure.(7) On 23 November 2007 the Commission asked the Italian authorities to submit the adopted final legal provision, which repealed the measure in question.(8) The Italian authorities submitted the adopted final legal provision to repeal Article 4-bis of Law No 17/2007 by letter registered at the Commission on 15 January 2008.II.   DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE(9) The measure aimed at prolonging the period during which the investment expenditure under an approved regional aid scheme, which expired on 31 December 2006, could have been incurred.(10) Under the regional aid scheme (N 646/A/2000), which aimed at promoting regional development in the Italian regions eligible for regional aid under the regional aid map 2000-2006 (6) and which expired on 31 December 2006, a beneficiary obtained the legal right to a tax credit by carrying out a positive net investment that was established on the basis of an accountancy/balance sheet approach for eligible expenses to be incurred before 2007. The original scheme was amended in 2002 with the introduction of a budgetary-cap mechanism requiring the beneficiary to apply for a reservation of funds to the fiscal authorities. The amendment did not change the expiry date for the scheme, nor its limitation to expenditure incurred before 2007.(11) By adopting Article 4-bis of the law No 17 of 26 February 2007, the Italian authorities extended the period during which expenditure could have been incurred until 2008.III.   GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE(12) The Commission refers to sections 4.1 and 4.2 of its Decision to open the formal investigation procedure.IV.   COMMENTS FROM ITALY(13) On 24 July 2007 the Italian authorities informed the Commission of their intention to repeal the measure.(14) On 9 October 2007 the Italian authorities reassured the Commission that the measure would be repealed by Article 3, comma 18 of the 2008 Finance Bill (d.d.l. Finanziaria 2008), approved by the Council of Ministers on 28 September 2007.(15) Following the Commission's request to submit the adopted definite legal provision repealing the measure, the Italian authorities submitted to the Commission the text of Article 1, comma 65 of the Budget Law 2008 (7) (Legge finanziaria) on 15 January 2008 which includes the relevant legal provisions which repeal Article 4-bis of the law No 17 of 26 February 2007.V.   ASSESSMENT(16) Article 1, comma 65 of the Budget Law 2008 stipulates that the amendment to the original legal scheme adopted by Article 4-bis of Law No 17/2007, i.e. the possibility to prolong the eligible investment expenditure until 2008, is repealed. Further, Article 2, comma 65 of the Budget Law 2008 also foresees the reallocation of the budgetary appropriations of the measure (8).(17) Since the tax credit accrued with reference to the eligible costs incurred in 2007 can only be claimed definitively at the moment of the 2007 fiscal declaration, in 2008, at the time this tax declaration has to be submitted to the fiscal agency, no legal basis or budget for the tax credit exist.(18) The measure has therefore become nil and void, and no tax credits can be granted for expenditure incurred after 2006 on the basis of the legal provision adopted by Article 4-bis of L. 17/2007.VI.   CONCLUSIONIn view of the foregoing, the Commission considers that the formal investigation procedure initiated under Article 88(2) of the Treaty as regards the prolongation of the eligible investment expenditures until 2008 is without object,. Due to the repeal of the measure by Italy, the present procedure has become without object and is hereby closed. This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic..

35253,"2008/743/EC: Commission Decision of 18 September 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of diniconazole-M 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) 5068) (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 to 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 diniconazole-M.(3) For diniconazole-M 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 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For diniconazole-M the rapporteur Member State was France and all relevant information was submitted on 31 May 2007.(4) The Commission examined diniconazole-M in accordance with Article 11a of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. A draft review report for that substance was 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.(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, taking into account comments received from Member States, it was concluded that there are clear indications that it may be expected that it has harmful effects on human health and in particular on operators, because the exposure is greater than 100 % of the AOEL. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member State in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of diniconazole-M 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 forwards by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing diniconazole-M satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(7) Diniconazole-M 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 diniconazole-M 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 diniconazole-M 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 diniconazole-M remain available for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for diniconazole-M in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), 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,. Diniconazole-M shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Member States shall ensure that:(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing diniconazole-M are withdrawn by 18 March 2009;(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing diniconazole-M 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 18 March 2010 at the latest.

16041,"97/206/EC: Council Decision of 17 March 1997 authorizing Ireland to apply a measure derogating from Article 9 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;Whereas, by letter to the Commission registered on 6 December 1996, Ireland requested authorization to introduce a measure derogating from Article 9 of Directive 77/388/EEC;Whereas the other Member States were informed on 20 December 1996 of the request made by Ireland;Whereas the measure is necessary to counter the tax avoidance effects that have led a growing number of Community taxable and non-taxable persons to purchase telecommunications services outside the Community in order to avoid payment of VAT; whereas the measure is furthermore necessary to discourage suppliers of telecommunications services established in a Member State from establishing themselves outside the Community;Whereas the measure is also necessary to simplify the procedure for charging the tax insofar as it provides the same tax obligations for customers of telecommunications services regardless of whether these services are performed by suppliers established inside or outside the Community;Whereas the derogations will not affect, except to a negligible extent, the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage and will not therefore have an adverse effect on the European Communities' own resources arising from value-added tax;Whereas it is necessary to grant this measure from 1 January 1997 in order to remedy as quickly as possible a situation undermining the competitiveness of European telecommunications companies; whereas from 1 January 1997 the customers and the suppliers of telecommunications services had no longer a legitimate confidence in the continuation of the legislation in force at that date;Whereas it is desirable that the derogation should be granted until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date, in order to allow the Council to adopt a general Community solution based on the Commission proposal,. By way of derogation from Article 9 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, Ireland is authorized to include, within Article 9 (2) (e) of the Directive, telecommunications services. In the case of a Member State making use of this facility, the provisions of Article 9 (3) (b) of the Directive shall also apply to these services.Telecommunications services shall be deemed to be services relating to the transmission, emission or reception of signals, writing, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems, including the transfer or assignment of the right to use capacity for such transmission, emission or reception. This Decision may be applied to telecommunications services in respect of which the chargeable event took place from 1 January 1997. It will also apply to prepayments made in respect of telecommunications services paid for before the date of implementation of this Decision by the Member State insofar as these prepayments cover supplies of telecommunications services which are performed after the date of implementation. The authorization specified in this Decision shall apply until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date.

Having examined the available data on the residue studies for poultry, the CVMP concluded that there is no need to establish maximum residue limits (hereinafter ‘MRLs’) for tiludronic acid in the form of disodium salt for poultry.(4) However, given the fact that residue studies were conducted only after subcutaneous administration and taking into account that with 12 to 24 hours after administration residues intake from tissues, including injection site would represent 88 % of the estimated acceptable daily intake, the CVMP concluded that the extension was possible only for parenteral use and for use in laying and breeder birds. Therefore, the current entry in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for tiludronic acid in the form of disodium salt should be amended so that this substance could be used for parenteral use in poultry species (laying and breeder birds).(5) The substance iron fumarate is currently not included in the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(6) The CVMP has received an application to consider whether the substance iron fumarate should be covered by assessments performed for other iron salts with existing entries in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, for use in all food producing species.(7) Having examined the assessments performed and considering that fumaric acid is a permitted food additive under European Parliament and Council Directive 95/2/EC (2), the CVMP concluded that the assessments performed for the substances with existing entries in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, should also apply to iron fumarate. The CVMP considered that no further assessment for iron fumarate is necessary and that there is no need to establish MRLs for iron fumarate. It recommended the inclusion of that substance in Annex II for all food producing species. Therefore this substance should be inserted in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 for all food producing species.(8) Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) An adequate period should be allowed before the applicability of this Regulation in order to enable Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary in the light of this Regulation to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (3).(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,.

The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’).(3) The Authority concluded in its opinion of 11 December 2012 (4) that, under the new proposed conditions of use, the preparation concerned shows some potential to improve performance at the requested minimum dose of 2,5 × 108 CFU/kg on chickens for fattening and minor avian species (excluding laying birds). The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4) The conditions provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 are satisfied.(5) Regulation (EC) No 903/2009 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 373/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.
