31982R0192 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 192/82 of 26 January 1982 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 192/82
of 26 January 1982
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 (2) affords sugar-producing undertakings the possibility of carrying forward sugar produced in a given marketing year to be treated as part of the following year's production; whereas that Article lays down for the sugar carried forward an obligatory storage period of 12 months beginning on 1 February of the marketing year in which the sugar was produced with, as a counterpart, the reimbursement of storage costs during that period; whereas only undertakings situated in the French departments of Guadeloupe and Martinique have a specific storage period corresponding to their sugar production period;
Whereas these mandatory dates fixed for the start of the storage period no longer correspond to the requirements of sugar production as it has evolved in the various regions of the Community; whereas, in order to avoid inequalities in treatment between producers in these regions, according to whether they begin their production earlier or later, and thus to allow the earlier producers to make use of the aforesaid possibility as soon as their production exceeds their A quotas, the dates on which the obligatory storage period starts should henceforth no longer be laid down in the said Article 27 but, without affecting the principles involved, in the relevant detailed rules of application;
Whereas, having regard to production in the 1981/82 marketing year and to the need felt by undertakings to carry sugar forward, it is now appropriate for the carry-forward to the 1982/83 marketing year to provide measures which will retroactively allow all Community sugar-producing undertakings to make arrangements in this respect,
Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the first and second subparagraphs of paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:
'2. Undertakings which take the decision referred to in paragraph 1 shall:
- inform the Member State concerned, before 1 February, of the quantity or quantities of sugar being carried forward, and
- undertake to store such quantity or quantities for a period of 12 consecutive months from a date to be determined. For this period storage costs, including those of any C sugar carried forward shall be reimbursed under Article 8.
For undertakings situated in the French departments of Guadeloupe and Martinique the date referred to in the first indent of the first subparagraph shall be 1 May.'
2. the following new paragraph 4 shall be added:
'4. In respect of sugar carried forward from the 1981/82 marketing year to the 1982/83 marketing year decisions by undertakings referred to in paragraph 1 shall, at the request of the undertakings concerned, be regarded as retroactive to the date on which the Member State concerned determined that the sugar covered by those decisions was produced.
In such cases the storage period referred to in the second indent of the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 shall begin on the date referred to in the preceding subparagraph.'
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. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas seeds are produced in the Community of varieties of rice (Oryza sativa) of both the indica type or profile and the japonica; whereas so that, if necessary, aid can be set at different levels for the two variety groups they should be distinguished; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 should therefore be amended,
In the third line of the column headed ´Description' in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 ´Oryza sativa L.' is replaced by:
´Oryza sativa L.

32001R1203 | 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
| 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
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 21 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3640/90 of 11 December 1990 determining the general rules of the system of accession compensatory amounts for milk and milk products during the second stage of the accession of Portugal (1), and in particular
Article 6
thereof,
Whereas Articles 310 (2) and 311 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal set rules for determining the accession compensatory amounts applicable in trade between the Community of Ten and Portugal; whereas in view of the market prices pertaining for products obtained exclusively from sheep and/or goat milk no amounts need be set for these products;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/90 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3677/91 (3), set the accession compensatory amounts applicable to milk products from 1 January 1991 in trade between the Community of Ten and Portugal and between Portugal and third countries;
Whereas the lower intervention price for skimmed milk powder in Portugal set by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1373/92 (4) with effect from the beginning of the 1992/93 milk year necessitates adjustment from the same date of the accession compensatory amounts applicable to milk products in Portugal;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3814/90 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3679/91 (6), set monetary compensatory amounts for trade between Spain and Portugal in milk and milk products; whereas since the common prices apply in Spain from 1 June 1992 such amounts are no longer needed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The accession compensatory amounts applicable in trade between Portugal and the other Member States of the Community and between Portugal and third countries in milk and milk proudcts as indicated in the Annex hereto shall be those shown in that Annex.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), as last amended by Directive 97/6/EC (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Directive 70/524/EEC stipulates that the contents of its Annexes are to be kept up to date with advances in scientific and technical knowledge; whereas the Annexes were consolidated by Commission Directive 91/248/EEC (3);
Whereas for an additive belonging to the group 'Antibiotics`, the details in the column 'Chemical formula, description` should be supplemented;
Whereas a new use of an additive belonging to the group 'Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances` and a new use of one belonging to the group 'Binders, anti-caking agents and coagulants` have been widely tested in certain Member States; whereas in the light of the experience gained and research carried out these new uses may be authorized throughout the Community;
Whereas the provisions of the Annexes on one additive of the group 'Emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents` require adjustment to the Community provisions adopted on this matter as regards foodstuffs;

Whereas the minimum authorized content of an additive of the 'Micro-organisms` group should be altered;
Whereas research into various additives in Annex II, use of which can accordingly be authorized nationally, has not yet been completed; whereas for each of these this option should therefore be extended by a set period;
Whereas Directive 97/6/EC prohibited use of the glycopeptide antibiotic avoparcin with effect from 1 April 1997 on the grounds that it could not be ruled out that its use in animal feed was liable to induce resistance to glycopeptides used in human medicine;
Whereas another glycopeptide, ardacin, was given provisional authorization by Commission Directive 94/77/EC of 20 December 1994 amending Council Directive 70/524/EEC concerning additives in feedingstuffs (4); whereas although this additive is not at present marketed, as a precautionary measure and in line with the Scientific Committee's recommendations, in the absence of results from the research still to be carried out on avoparcin, its authorization should not be prolonged;

of 11 July 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 July 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

of 13 September 2012
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EU) No 904/2010, as regards special schemes for non-established taxable persons supplying telecommunications, broadcasting or electronic services to non-taxable persons
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 of 7 October 2010 on administrative cooperation and combating fraud in the field of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 44(1), second subparagraph of Article 44(2), Article 45(1) and (2), and Article 51(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 lays down the rules for the administrative cooperation and the fight against fraud in the field of value added tax (VAT). Articles 44 and 45 of Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 specifically concern the exchange of information relating to the special schemes for telecommunications, broadcasting or electronic services provided for in Chapter 6 of Title XII of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2). Those special schemes involve a taxable person established outside the Member State of consumption declaring the VAT due on relevant sales in the Member State of consumption via an electronic interface in the Member State of identification (one-stop shop).
(2) Certain information relating to transactions carried out under those special schemes is to be collected and exchanged between Member States. Specifically, that relates to the exchange of identification and the collection and exchange of VAT return details, including corrections to those VAT returns, between Member States.
(3) To ensure that information is exchanged in a uniform manner, it is necessary to adopt the technical details for such exchange, including a common electronic message. This would also allow for the uniform development of the technical and functional specifications, as they would follow a regulated framework.
(4) Certain information relating to changes to the identification details such as the exclusion from the special schemes, the voluntary cessation or the change of Member State of identification should also be exchanged, without delay, in a uniform manner in order to allow Member States to monitor the correct application of the special schemes and to combat fraud. To that end, common arrangements for the electronic exchange of such information should be provided.
(5) In order to keep the administrative burden to a minimum, it is necessary to establish certain requirements for the electronic interface that facilitate submission of identification information and VAT returns by taxable persons. Member States should not be prevented from providing additional functionalities to further reduce administrative burdens.
(6) In order to ensure that the information relating to registration into the scheme, and VAT returns rendered under the scheme, can be transmitted and processed effectively Member States should develop their electronic interface in a uniform manner. It is therefore necessary to establish the common electronic message for the transmission of that information.
(7) It is necessary to clarify the information to be submitted in cases where no sales under the special schemes are made in a particular period in one or all Member States.
(8) With a view to enabling Member States and taxable persons to refer to the VAT returns in an unequivocal way in their subsequent communications, including on the payment of the tax, the Member State of identification should allocate a unique reference number to each VAT return.
(9) This Regulation should apply from the same day from which Articles 44 and 45 of Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 apply.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Administrative Cooperation,

Whereas, however, pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 16 (1) of Regulation (CEE) No 1035/72, no basic price or buying-in price need be fixed for the slack marketing periods at the beginning and at the end of the marketing year;
Whereas, when the basic prices and buying-in prices for fruit and vegetables are fixed, account should be taken of the aims of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the basic prices must be fixed by reference to the trend in the average prices recorded during the three preceding years on the most representative producer markets within the Community for a product with defined commercial characteristics, such as a variety or type, quality class, size and packaging; whereas the buying-in prices must be fixed by reference to the basic price in accordance with Article 16 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 of 19 June 1978 on producer groups and associations thereof (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (2), and in particular the second indent of Article 6 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2083/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 559/88 (4), lays down detailed rules of application concerning the economic activity of producer groups and associations thereof; whereas these rules must be supplemented following extension of the applicability of Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 to Portugal;
Whereas holdings in Portugal are, typically, small, fragmented and unspecialized, and have a low average productivity; whereas low minima should therefore be set for the dimensions of producer group operations; whereas turnover is a suitable criterion for judging the efficiency of associations of producer groups in certain sectors where, in view of the difficulties of exhaustive determination of specific minimum crop areas, a single basis of reference should be used; whereas the fact that 'alentejano de montado' pigs are extensively-reared makes estimating national production difficult and whereas the minimum share of national production volume required of associations in this sector should therefore not be set; whereas in order to guarantee that associations are of adequate economic size a minimum number of member groups should be set;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
Regulation (EEC) No 2083/80 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The final paragraph of Article 3 is replaced by the following:
'In the case of Spain and Portugal, by way of derogation from the above provisions of this Article, associations must account for a minium crop area, turnover and share of national production as indicated in Sections III and IV of the Annex. In the case of Spain, both where products listed in the Annex and other products are concerned, associations must consist of at least five recognized groups and cover the territory of at least one Autonomous Community. In the case of Portugal, associations must consist of at least the number of recognized groups indicated in Section IV of the Annex, and of at least three recognized groups for other products, and cover the territory of at least one "district".'

of 19 October 1992
on the approximation of the rates of excise duty on alcohol and alcoholic beverages
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty instituting the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 99 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 Directive 92/12/EEC (4) lays down provisions on the general arrangements for products subject to excise duties;
Whereas Directive 92/83/EEC (5) lays down provisions relating to the harmonization of the structures of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages;
Whereas Member States should apply minimum rates of excise duty on these products by 1 January 1993 if the internal market is to be achieved by that date;
Whereas the most appropriate basis for levying duty on ethyl alcohol is the volume of pure alcohol;
Whereas the most appropriate basis for levying duty on wine and intermediate products is the volume on the finished product;
Whereas the consumption pattern of sparkling wine differs from that of still wine; whereas, therefore, Member States may be allowed to charge differing rates of duty on the two products;
Whereas the methods of taxing beer within the Member States vary, and it is possible to permit this variation to continue, in particular by laying down a minimum rate expressed as a charge related both to the original gravity and to the alcoholic content of the product;
Whereas it is possible to permit certain Member States to apply reduced rates to products consumed within particular regions of their national territory;
Whereas it is necessary for the rates laid down in this Directive to be reviewed periodically on the basis of a Commission report taking account of all the appropriate factors;
Whereas a mechanism should be set up to enable specific amounts expressed in ecu to be converted into national currency,
Not later than 1 January 1993, Member States shall apply minimum rates of excise duty in accordance with the rules laid down in this Directive.
The products covered by this Directive are:
— alcohol and alcoholic beverages,
— intermediate products,
— wine,
— beer,
as defined in Directive 92/83/EEC.
1. As from 1 January 1993, the minimum rate of excise duty on alcohol and alcohol contained in beverages other than those referred to in Articles 4, 5 and 6 shall be fixed at ECU 550 per hectolitre of pure alcohol.
However, Member States which apply to alcohol and alcoholic beverages a rate of duty not exceeding ECU 1 000 per hectolitre of pure alcohol may not reduce their national rate. In addition Member States which apply to the said products a rate of duty exceeding ECU 1 000 per hectolitre of pure alcohol may not reduce their national rate below ECU 1 000.
2. The Kingdom of Denmark may, however, maintain its existing system of taxing alcohol and the alcohol contained in other products until 30 June 1996, provided that the application of that system never results in the application of a charge which falls below that which would arise from the application of paragraph 1 in accordance with the rules laid down in Directive 92/83/EEC.
3. The Italian Republik may, however, maintain its existing system of taxing alcohol and the alcohol contained in other products, which provides a reduced rate for some categories of alcohol, until 30 June 1996, provided that the application of that system never results in the application of a charge which falls below that which would arise from the application of paragraph 1 in accordance with the rules laid down in Council Directive 92/83/EEC.
As from 1 January 1993, the minimum rate of excise duty on intermediate products shall be fixed at ECU 45 per hectolitre of product.
As from 1 January 1993, the minimum rate of excise duty on wine shall be fixed:
— for still wine at ECU 0,
— for sparkling wine at ECU 0
per hectolitre of product.
As from 1 January 1993, the minimum rate of excise duty on beer shall be fixed:
— ECU 0,748 per hectolitre/degree Plato,
— ECU 1,87 per hectolitre/degree of alcohol
of finished product.
1. The Hellenic Republic may apply a reduced rate of excise duty to ethyl alcohol consumed in the departments of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, the Dodecanese and the Cyclades and on the following islands in the Aegean: Thasos, Northern Sporades, Samothrace and Skiros.
The reduced rate, which may fall below the minimum rate of duty, may not fall more than 50 % below the standard national rate of duty on ethyl alcohol.
2. The Italian Republic may continue to apply the exemptions and reduced rates of excise duty, which may fall below the minimum rates, which were applied on 1 January 1992 to alcohol and alcoholic drinks consumed in the regions of Gorizia and the Aosta valley.
3. The Portuguese Republik may continue to apply, in the autonomous regions of Madeira and the Azores, reduced rates of excise duty not falling more than 50 % below the national rates, on the following products:
(a) in Madeira
— wine obtained from the purely regional grape varieties specified in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 4252/88,
— rum as defined in Article 1 (4) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89 having the geographical characteristics set out in Article 5 (3) and Annex II, point 1, of that Regulation,
— liqueurs produced from sub-tropical fruit enriched with sugar cane eau-de-vie and having the characteristics and qualities defined in Article 5 (3) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89;

Every two years, and for the first time not later than 31 December 1994, the Council, acting on the basis of a report and, where appropriate, a proposal from the Commission, shall examine the rates of duty laid down herein and, acting unanimously after consulting the European Parliament, shall adopt the necessary measures. The report by the Commission and the consideration by the Council shall take into account the proper functioning of the internal market, competition between the different categories of alcoholic drinks, the real value of the rates of duty and the wider objectives of the Treaty.
1. The value of the ecu in national currencies to be applied to the value of specific excise duties shall be fixed once a year. The rates to be applied shall be those obtaining on the first working day of October and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities and shall have effect from 1 January of the following calendar year.
2. Member States may maintain the amounts of the excise duties in force at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 1 if the conversion of the amounts of the excise duties expressed in ecu would result in an increase of less than 5 % or less than ECU 5, whichever is the lower amount, in the excise duty expressed in national currency.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 87/231/EEC of 7 April 1987 amending, as regards certain measures relating to swine fever, Directives 64/432/EEC and 72/461/EEC (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
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, pursuant to Article 2 of Decision 87/230/EEC (5), the Council is to decide in particular on the necessary measures which must be implemented by the Member States in order to achieve the eradication of classical swine fever in the Community: whereas such measures are likely to have repercussions on the entire set of Community regulations adopted to date with regard to animal health policy problems in the trade of animals and meat; whereas in order to guarantee the effectiveness of these measures, the provisions of these regulations should be amended as appropriate;
Whereas Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (6) defined the conditions which must be satisfied as regards classical swine fever by live pigs intended for intra-Community trade;
Whereas Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (7) defines the conditions which must be satisfied as regards classical swine fever by fresh pigmeat intended for intra-Community trade;
Whereas, as a result of national programmes to eradicate classical swine fever introduced in the framework of a Community measure, some Member States have totally eradicated the disease and can claim to be officially free of classical swine fever; whereas they should therefore be given the possibility of maintaining the status they have acquired and preventing the reappearance of the disease on their territory by strengthening the safeguards which they enjoy as regards trade in the products concerned, in view of the adverse effects of this disease on the productivity of pig herds and on the income of those working in this sector,
Directive 64/432/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. At the end of Article 2 (p), second indent, and (q), second subparagraph, 'for at least the preceding 12 months' is added.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/95(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1006/2001(3), lays down the detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the arrangements provided for in the free trade agreements between the Community, of the one part, and Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, of the other part. Product group L1 was inserted in Annex I.A when the Regulation was amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2867/2000(4). That product group should therefore also be inserted in the first subparagraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2305/95. This Regulation must be corrected in consequence.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1098/88 (2), and in particular Articles 14 (4), 15 (3) and 20 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1058/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2550/83 (4), defined physico-chemical and organoleptic characteristics for products covered by the various customs subheadings used for olive oil; whereas it appears that certain virgin olive oils can contain tetrachloroethylene, an undesirable substance that does not occur in the normal olive oil production process; whereas this substance can be tolerated in lampante olive oil since that oil is for refining and not directly marketed; whereas the presence of this substance beyond insignificant levels should mean that the virgin oil concerned is automatically classed under the customs subheading for lampante virgin oil to be refined;
Whereas there must be a standard Community analysis method for the detection of tetrachloroethylene, in olive oil; whereas however different methods are in use in Member States; whereas the use of these methods should be permitted during a transitional period;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5) must be adapted as a consequence of the amendments made to Regulation (EEC) No 1058/77;
Whereas fixing a maximum tetrachloroethylene level in virgin oils other than lampante might create difficulties for the disposal of certain oils by producers in the current season; whereas consequently the measures in this Regulation relating to intervention buying should apply only from the start of the next season;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 1058/77 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The title is replaced by the following: 'Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1058/77 of 18 May 1977 concerning the characteristics of olive oil and certain products containing olive oil'.
2. The following paragraph 3 is added to Article 2:

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3477/93 of 17 December 1993 concerning the agricultural conversion rates to be applied in the tobacco sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 introduces new agrimonetary arrangements with effect from 1 January 1993; whereas, as part of these arrangements, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 on detailed rules for determining and applying the agricultural conversion rates (2), lays down the operative events for the agricultural conversion rates to be applied after the transitional measures provided for in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3820/92 (3), without prejudice to detailed rules or derogations to be provided for where necessary in the rules relating to the sectors concerned on the basis of the criteria indicated in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92;
Whereas, in accordance with the second subparagraph, second indent, of Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93, the provisions of that Regulation are to apply in the raw tobacco sector from 1 July 1993, subject to the derogations provided for in this Regulation which brings together, for reasons of clarity, the specific provisions applicable in the tobacco sector;
Whereas the premiums provided for in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (4), form a large part of the income of tobacco producers; whereas payment of the premium is not linked to compliance with a particular purchase price; whereas the amount of the premium must be paid to the producers by the first processors; whereas, therefore, dates should be set for the operative event which take into account the rate of deliveries subsequent to harvest, while simplifying first processors' administration; whereas the same operative event must apply to advances on the premium payment;
Whereas the specific aid referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 is a supplementary payment added to the premium which gives rise to a single payment after controls; whereas, therefore, the agricultural conversion rate must be the most recent conversion rate applicable to the premium;
Whereas the conversion aid provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3616/92 of 15 December 1992 adopting conversion measures for tobacco of the varieties Mavra, Tsebelia, Forchheimer Havanna II c and hybrids of Geudertheimer (5), gives rise to a single annual payment; whereas, therefore, a date sufficiently close to the start of the harvest concerned by conversion should be set for determination of the operative event;
Whereas the maximum amount of conversion aid for flue-cured tobacco in Greece provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 881/93, on a conversion programme for producers of flue-cured tobacco in Greece (6), must take into account the situation existing when this ceiling is established; whereas, therefore, the date to be used to determine the conversion rate should be 1 January 1993;
Whereas, under the arrangements provided for under Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 860/92 (8), the operative event for tobacco premiums occurs at the moment the tobacco leaves the place where it was under supervision, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 of 25 August 1970 on the procedure for granting the premium for leaf tobacco (9), as last amended bij Regulation (EEC) No 1197/92 (10); whereas that operative event does not meet the criteria laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 and must be amended at the end of the transitional period provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 3820/92; whereas, therefore, in order to avoid market distortion with the tobacco from the 1993 harvest, 1 July 1993 should be the date determining the operative event for the premium for tobacco from harvests prior to 1993 leaving supervision from that date;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
The agricultural conversion rate to be applied for conversion into national currency of the amount of the premium and the advance on the premium payment referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 shall be the rate valid on 1 August of the year of harvest, as regards deliveries up to 31 December of that year, and the rate valid on 1 January of the following year, as regards later deliveries.
The agricultural conversion rate to be applied for conversion into national currency of the amount of the specific aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 shall be the rate valid on 1 January of the year following the year of harvest.
The agricultural conversion rate to be applied for conversion into national currency of the conversion aid introduced pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 shall be the rate valid on 1 August of the year of harvest.
The agricultural conversion rate applicable to the calculation of the maximum amount provided for in the second indent to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 881/93 shall be the rate applicable on 1 January 1993.
For tobacco from harvests prior to the 1993 harvest, leadving supervision from 1 July 1993, the agricultural conversion rate for the premium provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shall be the rate applicable on 1 July 1993.
The following provisions are hereby repealed:
- the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70,
- the second subparagraph of Article 1 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70 (1),
- Article 5 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 (2),

| Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 19 July 2002
on the application of international accounting standards
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95(1) 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) The Lisbon European Council of 23 and 24 March 2000 emphasised the need to accelerate completion of the internal market for financial services, set the deadline of 2005 to implement the Commission's Financial Services Action Plan and urged that steps be taken to enhance the comparability of financial statements prepared by publicly traded companies.
(2) In order to contribute to a better functioning of the internal market, publicly traded companies must be required to apply a single set of high quality international accounting standards for the preparation of their consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, it is important that the financial reporting standards applied by Community companies participating in financial markets are accepted internationally and are truly global standards. This implies an increasing convergence of accounting standards currently used internationally with the ultimate objective of achieving a single set of global accounting standards.
(3) Council Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 on the annual accounts of certain types of companies(4), Council Directive 83/349/EEC of 13 June 1983 on consolidated accounts(5), Council Directive 86/635/EEC of 8 December 1986 on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of banks and other financial institutions(6) and Council Directive 91/674/EEC of 19 December 1991 on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of insurance companies(7) are also addressed to publicly traded Community companies. The reporting requirements set out in these Directives cannot ensure the high level of transparency and comparability of financial reporting from all publicly traded Community companies which is a necessary condition for building an integrated capital market which operates effectively, smoothly and efficiently. It is therefore necessary to supplement the legal framework applicable to publicly traded companies.
(4) This Regulation aims at contributing to the efficient and cost-effective functioning of the capital market. The protection of investors and the maintenance of confidence in the financial markets is also an important aspect of the completion of the internal market in this area. This Regulation reinforces the freedom of movement of capital in the internal market and helps to enable Community companies to compete on an equal footing for financial resources available in the Community capital markets, as well as in world capital markets.
(5) It is important for the competitiveness of Community capital markets to achieve convergence of the standards used in Europe for preparing financial statements, with international accounting standards that can be used globally, for cross-border transactions or listing anywhere in the world.
(6) On 13 June 2000, the Commission published its Communication on "EU Financial Reporting Strategy: the way forward" in which it was proposed that all publicly traded Community companies prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with one single set of accounting standards, namely International Accounting Standards (IAS), at the latest by 2005.
(7) International Accounting Standards (IASs) are developed by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), whose purpose is to develop a single set of global accounting standards. Further to the restructuring of the IASC, the new Board on 1 April 2001, as one of its first decisions, renamed the IASC as the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and, as far as future international accounting standards are concerned, renamed IAS as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These standards should, wherever possible and provided that they ensure a high degree of transparency and comparability for financial reporting in the Community, be made obligatory for use by all publicly traded Community companies.
(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(8) and with due regard to the declaration made by the Commission in the European Parliament on 5 February 2002 concerning the implementation of financial services legislation.
(9) To adopt an international accounting standard for application in the Community, it is necessary firstly that it meets the basic requirement of the aforementioned Council Directives, that is to say that its application results in a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of an enterprise - this principle being considered in the light of the said Council Directives without implying a strict conformity with each and every provision of those Directives; secondly that, in accordance with the conclusions of the Council of 17 July 2000, it is conducive to the European public good and lastly that it meets basic criteria as to the quality of information required for financial statements to be useful to users.
(10) An accounting technical committee should provide support and expertise to the Commission in the assessment of international accounting standards.
(11) The endorsement mechanism should act expeditiously on proposed international accounting standards and also be a means to deliberate, reflect and exchange information on international accounting standards among the main parties concerned, in particular national accounting standard setters, supervisors in the fields of securities, banking and insurance, central banks including the ECB, the accounting profession and users and preparers of accounts. The mechanism should be a means to foster common understanding of adopted international accounting standards in the Community.
(12) In accordance with the principle of proportionality, the measures provided for in this Regulation, in requiring that a single set of international accounting standards be applied to publicly traded companies, are necessary to achieve the objective of contributing to the efficient and cost-effective functioning of Community capital markets and thereby to the completion of the internal market.
(13) In accordance with the same principle, it is necessary, as regards annual accounts, to leave to Member States the option to permit or require publicly traded companies to prepare them in conformity with international accounting standards adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in this Regulation. Member States may decide as well to extend this permission or this requirement to other companies as regards the preparation of their consolidated accounts and/or their annual accounts.
(14) In order to facilitate an exchange of views and to allow Member States to coordinate their positions, the Commission should periodically inform the accounting regulatory committee about active projects, discussion papers, point outlines and exposure drafts issued by the IASB and about the consequential technical work of the accounting technical committee. It is also important that the accounting regulatory committee is informed at an early stage if the Commission intends not to propose to adopt an international accounting standard.
(15) In its deliberations on and in elaborating positions to be taken on documents and papers issued by the IASB in the process of developing international accounting standards (IFRS and SIC-IFRIC), the Commission should take into account the importance of avoiding competitive disadvantages for European companies operating in the global marketplace, and, to the maximum possible extent, the views expressed by the delegations in the Accounting Regulatory Committee. The Commission will be represented in constituent bodies of the IASB.
(16) A proper and rigorous enforcement regime is key to underpinning investors' confidence in financial markets. Member States, by virtue of Article 10 of the Treaty, are required to take appropriate measures to ensure compliance with international accounting standards. The Commission intends to liaise with Member States, notably through the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR), to develop a common approach to enforcement.
(17) Further, it is necessary to allow Member States to defer the application of certain provisions until 2007 for those companies publicly traded both in the Community and on a regulated third-country market which are already applying another set of internationally accepted standards as the primary basis for their consolidated accounts as well as for companies which have only publicly traded debt securities. It is nonetheless crucial that by 2007 at the latest a single set of global international accounting standards, the IAS, apply to all Community companies publicly traded on a Community regulated market.
(18) In order to allow Member States and companies to carry out the necessary adaptations to make the application of international accounting standards possible, it is necessary to apply certain provisions only in 2005. Appropriate provisions should be put in place for the first-time application of IAS by companies as a result of the entry into force of the present regulation. Such provisions should be drawn up at international level in order to ensure international recognition of the solutions adopted,
Aim
This Regulation has as its objective the adoption and use of international accounting standards in the Community with a view to harmonising the financial information presented by the companies referred to in Article 4 in order to ensure a high degree of transparency and comparability of financial statements and hence an efficient functioning of the Community capital market and of the Internal Market.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, "international accounting standards" shall mean International Accounting Standards (IAS), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and related Interpretations (SIC-IFRIC interpretations), subsequent amendments to those standards and related interpretations, future standards and related interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Adoption and use of international accounting standards
1. In accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6(2), the Commission shall decide on the applicability within the Community of international accounting standards.
2. The international accounting standards can only be adopted if:
- they are not contrary to the principle set out in Article 2(3) of Directive 78/660/EEC and in Article 16(3) of Directive 83/349/EEC and are conducive to the European public good and,
- they meet the criteria of understandability, relevance, reliability and comparability required of the financial information needed for making economic decisions and assessing the stewardship of management.
3. At the latest by 31 December 2002, the Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6(2), decide on the applicability within the Community of the international accounting standards in existence upon entry into force of this Regulation.

of 24 October 2013
approving benzoic acid as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 3 and 4
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
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 the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (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 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes benzoic acid.
(2) Benzoic acid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 3, veterinary hygiene biocidal products, and product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-types 3 and 4 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Germany was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority reports, together with recommendations, to the Commission on 3 February 2011 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(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 review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 27 September 2013, in two assessment reports.
(5) It appears from those reports that biocidal products used for product-types 3 and 4 and containing benzoic acid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve benzoic acid for use in biocidal products for product-types 3 and 4.
(7) Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not adress the incorporation of biocidal products containing benzoic acid in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.
(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Benzoic acid shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 3 and 4, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
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. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of barley to all third countries except for the United States of America and Canada was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1558/2001(5).
(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 24 to 30 May 2002, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1558/2001, the maximum refund on exportation of barley shall be EUR 5,00/t.

Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of that Regulation, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex C, other than those listed in column 4 of Annex A, within the framework of the preferential tariff ceiling fixed in column 9 of Annex A; whereas, as provided for in Article 11 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;
Whereas, in the case of certain paint and similar brushes falling within subheading 96.01 B ex III, the individual ceiling was fixed at 840 000 ECU; whereas, on 6 April 1984, imports of these products into the Community, originating in Hong Kong, reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst;
Whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Hong Kong,

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, within the framework of the Community scheme supporting the processing of citrus fruits, it appears that certain processing companies are experiencing financial difficulties in paying the minimum price to producers; whereas that situation should be taken into account when authorizing the Member States, in respect of the new marketing year 1995/96, to pay the financial compensation directly to producers under certain conditions;
Whereas using this possibility will prevent Member States from having recourse to the provisions for granting financial compensation as referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 (4),
Notwithstanding Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3119/93, Member States may pay financial compensation directly to producers for the quantities delivered by the latter under contracts as referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation. In that case, processors must pay to producers a price which is at least equal to the difference between the minimum price referred to in Article 3 and the financial compensation referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation.
The provisions of the first paragraph shall not apply to satsumas.
Where Article 1 is applied, the financial compensation shall be paid to the producer at his request when the control authorities in the Member States in which processing is carried out have established that the products which are covered by contracts have been delivered.
The decision of the Member State to apply Article 1 must concernall producers and processors on its territory.
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular with regard to the guarantee, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (5).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 92/91 (4), lays down in particular detailed rules for import licences; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 337/92 (6), lays down additional and exceptional detailed rules specific to the cereals sector;
Whereas, in order to take account of trade practices specific to the cereals sector, provision should be made for detailed rules supplementing or derogating from the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the forecast supply balance for cereal products for the Canary Islands should be drawn up; whereas the balance must allow for interchange of the quantities determined for certain products and, if necessary, adjustment during the year of the overall quantity determined, in line with regional requirements;
Whereas provision should be made for the Member State to designate the competent authority for issuing import licences and aid certificates, and for handling aid applications and payments;
Whereas a timetable for submitting licence and certificate applications should be set, and also admissibility requirements for applications, in particular as regards the lodging of securities; whereas, in addition, the period of validity of import licences and aid certificates should be fixed in accordance with supply needs and the requirements of sound administration by granting, in view of the situation of the Canary Islands, a longer period of validity for aid certificates;
Whereas provision should be made for the adjustment of the aid granted for the supply of cereal products originating in the Community on the basis of the difference in the threshold price of the product in question between the month of application for aid certificates and the month in which the certificates are used, in order to prevent, before the harvest, supply commitments which benefit from aid for the new marketing year, and to take account of practices in the cereals sector;
Whereas, to ensure the sound administration of the supply arrangements, additional requirements should be laid down for the release of the security;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 428/89
of 20 February 1989
concerning the export of certain chemical products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas, at the international conference on chemical weapons which took place in Paris from 7 to 11 January 1989, the Member States of the European Economic Community strongly condemned the use of chemical weapons and underlined their commitment to the early conclusion of a global, comprehensive and verifiable convention on the prohibition of the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and on their destruction;
Whereas discussions in the context of European Political Cooperation led notably on 14 February 1989 to a consensus that it is necessary to take urgent measures to control the export of certain chemical products which could be used for the production of such weapons;
Whereas the European Parliament adopted on 19 January 1989 a resolution on the proliferation of chemical weapons;
Whereas Article 30 (5) of the Single European Act laid down that the external policies of the European Community and the policies agreed in European Political Cooperation must be consistent;
Whereas the interests of the Member States and of the Community require that the export of certain chemical products which could be used for the production of chemical weapons be regulated by means of urgent, effective measures; whereas the Member States therefore decided to adopt a Council regulation pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and, in the light of the circumstances surrounding its adoption, to keep under review the scope for further action;
Whereas the list of chemical products annexed to this Regulation was agreed in the context of European Political Cooperation; whereas the content of the list may be re-examined in that forum;
Whereas
, in view of their nature and urgency, these measures are of paramount public importance and should accordingly be applied with immediate effect;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Exports of the products listed in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the issue by the competent authorities in the Member States of a prior export authorization, or to equivalent measures.
If there is reason to believe that products under consideration will be used for the development or production of chemical weapons or that there is a risk of their being delivered directly or indirectly to belligerent countries or to areas of serious international tension, no authorization shall be issued or exportation shall be prohibited by equivalent measures.
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. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the second indent of Article 6 (5) (b) of Directive 79/112/EEC, ingredients belonging to one of the categories listed in Annex II thereof must be designated in the list of ingredients by the name of that category, followed by their specific name or EEC number;
Whereas, as Community legislation currently stands, not all of the ingredients in question have been assigned an EEC number ; whereas full advantage cannot therefore be taken of the choice offered by the abovementioned labelling rule;
Whereas the Community is required to complete its rules relating to the categories of ingredients listed in Annex II to Directive 79/112/EEC ; whereas, as new Community provisions are adopted in these areas, EEC numbers that can be used in the labelling of foodstuffs will become available;
Whereas, as an interim measure aimed at facilitating the application of Directive 79/112/EEC, a temporary numbering system for those ingredients that have not yet received an EEC number should be made available to those responsible for labelling foodstuffs, pending the adoption of these new provisions;
Whereas a system of this kind is not intended to affect the provisions under which the use of the ingredients in question is authorized, prohibited or limited;
Whereas this Directive can relate only to ingredients belonging to the categories of use listed in Annex II to Directive 79/112/EEC ; whereas if, however, other categories were added to that Annex, it could also prove necessary to assign numbers to ingredients belonging to such categories;
Whereas, due to the scientific and technical developments in progress on artificial sweeteners, the ingredients in that category cannot yet all be enumerated and in view of this difficulty it is not yet appropriate to include these ingredients in the temporary arrangements introduced by this Directive;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) (a) of Directive 79/112/EEC, Member States may make it optional to designate the specific name or EEC number of (1) OJ No L 33, 8.2.1979, p. 1. ingredients belonging to one of the categories listed in Annex II thereof ; whereas this provision is not affected by this Directive;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Pending the implementation of Community provisions introducing new EEC numbers, the numbers listed in the Annex may, in accordance with the second indent of Article 6 (5) (b) of Directive 79/112/EEC, be used in place of the specific name to designate the corresponding ingredients where the latter's technological function classifies them in one or more of the categories listed in Annex II to Directive 79/112/EEC.
Member States shall make such amendments to their laws as may be necessary to comply with this Directive and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Without prejudice to the provisions under which the use of the corresponding ingredients is authorized, prohibited or limited, Member States shall, not later than 1 July 1984, allow the numbers listed in the Annex to be used.

Whereas, according to information provided by the Member States, intervention measures taken in the Community in respect of the 1995/96 marketing year involved, 85 733 tonnes of cauliflowers and 483 002 tonnes of lemons; whereas the Commission has recorded overruns in the intervention thresholds amounting to 21 933 tonnes of cauliflowers and 121 402 of lemons;

Whereas, under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2529/87 (3), France and Italy are, from 1 September 1987, authorized to collect the co-responsibility levy when the cereals are put on the market; whereas one of the consequences of the introduction of those new arrangements is the fact that the co-responsability levy applies in full to cereal seeds whereas under the previous arrangements those products were in practice granted partial exemption;
Whereas cereals seeds are produced under contracts which are concluded before sowing take place and whereas, in the case of the 1987/88 marketing year, the contracts were concluded before 1 September, the date when the new arrangement to Regulation (EEC) No 2529/87 should be introduced whereby the co-responsibility levy arrangements applicable to cereal seeds would be those in force prior to 1 September;
Whereas, moreover, Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2529/87 specifies the time-limit for the payment of the co-responsibility levy; whereas the period concerned begins when the products in question are put on the market; whereas, because of difficulties in determining that date in certain cases, in particular where there is no written sales contract, a provision should be introduced whereby the period in question should begin when the products are delivered or consigned;

2. The following indent is added to the second subparagraph of Article 2 (2):

3. Article 3 (1) is replaced by the following:
'1. Cereals introduced into one of the Member States specified in Article 1 from the other Member States, with the exception of Portugal during the first stage, shall be deemed to be put on the market when they are released for consumption, except in the case of certified and basic seeds.'
4. The introductory phrase of Article 3 (2) is replaced by the following:
'When cereals other than certified seeds are consigned from one of the Member States specified in Article 1 to anonther Member State, and when they are subsequently reconsigned, the document attesting the Community nature of the cereals shall bear one of the following entries, authenticated by the stamp of the customs office which issued the document:'.
5. The first subparagraph of Article 4 (1) is replaced by the following:
'The levy shall be collected by the purchasers, by the processing undertakings referred to in Article 2 (2) or, in the case referred to in Article 3 (1), by the consignees. However, in the cases referred to in the second and third indents of the second subparagraph of Article 2 (2) the levy shall be paid by the producer and, in the case referred to in the fourth indent of that subparagraph, by the exporter.'.

of 20 December 2006
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include sulfuryl fluoride as an active substance in Annex I thereto
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 sulfuryl fluoride.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003, sulfuryl fluoride 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, Sweden was designated as Rapporteur Member State. Sweden submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 19 April 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 8 September 2006, in an assessment report.
(5) The review of sulfuryl fluoride 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 sulfuryl fluoride 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 sulfuryl fluoride in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing sulfuryl fluoride 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 be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance sulfuryl fluoride 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 such products be authorised only for use by trained professionals, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(e) of Directive 98/8/EC, and that risk mitigation measures are designed to ensure the safety of operators and bystanders, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(f) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(9) In addition, it is appropriate to require continuous monitoring, as well as the provision of further information on certain specific points detailed in the assessment report, in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(f) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(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(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 sulfuryl fluoride 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 EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC (1), and in particular points (a) and (e) of Article 5(1), and Articles 11(3) and 12(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (2) establishes a Union list of monomers, other starting substances and additives which may be used in the manufacture of plastic materials and articles. Recently the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) issued favourable scientific evaluations for additional substances which should now be added to the current list.
(2) For certain other substances, the restrictions and/or specifications already established at the EU level should be amended on the basis of a new favourable scientific evaluation by the Authority.
(3) Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The substance with FCM Substance Number 257 and the name dipropyleneglycol is authorised to be used as an additive in plastics in Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 and listed with the CAS No 0000110-98-5. In Commission Directive 2002/72/EC of 6 August 2002 relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (3) this substance was referred to by CAS No 0025265-71-8. That reference was deleted upon the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, replacing Directive 2002/72/EC, because it was considered superfluous. However, taking into account that CAS No 0025265-71-8 refers to the commercially used mixture of isomers rather than to the pure substance, it should be reinserted in Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. CAS No 0000110-98-5 should remain in Table 1.
(5) Compliance Note No (4) in Table 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 gives an ambiguous reference to simulant D, where a reference to simulant D2 is intended. Therefore, Note No (4) should refer to simulant D2.
(6) Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 should therefore be corrected accordingly.
(7) In order to limit the administrative burden to business operators, plastic materials and articles which have been lawfully placed on the market based on the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 and which do not comply with this Regulation should be able to be placed on the market until one year after entry into force of this Regulation. They should be able to remain on the market until exhaustion of stocks.
(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, and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Plastic materials and articles which have been lawfully placed on the market before 1 January 2013 and which do not comply with this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market until 1 January 2014. Those plastic materials and articles may remain on the market until the exhaustion of stocks.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and the financial contribution provided for in the Agreement on cooperation in the sea fisheries sector between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania applies for the period 1 August 2001 to 31 July 2006 (2).
(2) In view of the scientific opinions on the state of resources in the Mauritanian EEZ and, in particular, the results of the fourth and fifth working groups of the Mauritanian Institute of Oceanographic Research and Fisheries (IMROP) and of the joint scientific working party, and in the light of the conclusions drawn from those results at the meetings of the Joint Committee held on 10 September and 15 and 16 December 2004, the two parties have decided to amend the existing fishing opportunities.
(3) The outcome of those amendments has been the subject of an Exchange of Letters and involves a temporary reduction in the fishing effort for cephalopods (category 5), the fixing of a second closed period of one month for demersal fishing, and an increase in the number of pole-and-line tuna vessels and surface longliners (category 8) and pelagic freezer trawlers (category 9).
(4) It is in the Community's interest to approve those amendments.
(5) The allocation of the new fishing opportunities among the Member States, as thus amended, should be confirmed,
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters concerning the provisional application of the Protocol amending the Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and the financial contribution provided for in the Agreement on cooperation in the sea fisheries sector between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania for the period 1 August 2001 to 31 July 2006 (3) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
Following the amendments set out in the Exchange of Letters, the new fishing opportunities for the ‘pole-and-line tuna vessel and surface longliner’ category (Datasheet No 8 of the Protocol) and for the ‘pelagic freezer trawler’ category (Datasheet No 9) shall be allocated among the Member States as follows:
Fishing category Member State Tonnage/number of vessels which may be used
Pole-and-line tuna vessels Spain 20 + 3 = 23
Portugal 3 + 0 = 3
France 8 + 1 = 9
Pelagic species (vessels) 15 + 10 = 25
The temporary suspension of five (5) fishing licences for the cephalopod fishing category shall take effect as from 1 January 2005. The future reactivation of those five (5) licences shall be decided by common accord in a Joint Committee meeting held between the Commission and the Mauritanian authorities on the basis of the state of resources.
If licence applications from Member States do not cover all the fishing opportunities laid down by the Protocol, the Commission may take into consideration licence applications from any other Member State.
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. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 stipulates for certain agricultural products, covered by that Regulation and originating in those countries, the progressive reduction, subject to reference quantities and a community surveillance in a set timetable of the customs duties;
Whereas, these duty reductions shall be phased in over the same periods and in accordance with the same timetable as those laid down in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal for the same products imported from these countries into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3593/91 of 11 December 1991 abolishing in two stages certain customs duties applicable in trade between the Community of Ten and Spain and Portugal as a result of the Mediterranean agreements (3) foresees that the residual customs duties applicable to products from Spain and Portugal for which the dismantling of tariffs continues after 1 January 1993 will be eliminated in two equal instalments on 1 January 1992 and 1 January 1993;

2. Quantities shall be charged against the reference quantities as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate. If the movement certificate is submitted a posteriori, the goods shall be charged against the corresponding reference quantity at the moment when the goods are entered for free circulation.
The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first subparagraph, as communicated to the Statistical Office of the European Communities in application of Regulations (EEC) No 2658/87 and (EEC) No 1736/75.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (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:
1. 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 3 May 2013 by Liaocheng City Zhonglian Industry Co. Ltd (the applicant), an exporting producer in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) of trichloroisocyanuric acid.
2. PRODUCT
(3) The product under review is trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof (TCCA), also referred to as ‘symclosene’ under the international non-proprietary name (INN), currently falling within CN codes ex 2933 69 80 and ex 3808 94 20 (TARIC codes 2933698070 and 3808942020), and originating in the People’s Republic of China.
3. EXISTING MEASURES
(4) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 (2), under which imports into the Union of the product under review originating in the PRC, including the product produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 42,6 % with the exception of several companies specially mentioned in Article 1(2) of that Regulation which are subject to individual duty rates.
4. 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 period of investigation 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.
5. PROCEDURE
(9) Union producers known to be concerned have been informed of the request for a review and have been given an opportunity to comment.
(10) 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 mentioned below under recital 15, it will be determined whether the applicant operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
(11) 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 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011.
(a) Questionnaires
(12) 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
(13) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence.
(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) In the event that 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, a duly substantiated claim must be submitted within the specific time limit set in Article 4(3) of this Regulation. The Commission will send claim forms to the applicant, as well as to the authorities of the PRC.
(d) Selection of the market economy country
(16) In the event that the applicant is not granted market economy treatment, an appropriate market economy country will be used for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the PRC in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation. The Commission envisages using Japan again for this purpose as was done in the investigation which led to the imposition of measures on imports of the product under review from the PRC. Interested parties are hereby invited to comment on the appropriateness of this choice within the specific time limit set in Article 4(2) of this Regulation.
(17) Furthermore, in the event that the applicant is granted market economy treatment, 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 PRC which are needed in establishing the normal value, if reliable required data are not available in the PRC. The Commission envisages using Japan also for this purpose.
6. 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 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.
7. TIME-LIMITS
(19) In the interest of sound administration, time-limits should be stated within which:
(20) 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,
(21) interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission,
(22) interested parties may comment on the appropriateness of Japan which, in the event that the applicant will not be granted market economy treatment, is envisaged as a market-economy country for the purpose of establishing normal value,
(23) the applicant should submit a duly substantiated claim for market economy treatment.
(24) 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 indicated in Article 4 of this Regulation.
8. NON-COOPERATION
(25) 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.
(26) 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.
(27) 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.
9. SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION
(28) 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.
10. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(29) 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 (3).

(30) 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.

of 27 June 2002

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 Regulation (EC) No 545/2002(2), and in particular Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 636/2002(4), 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) Tomatoes, lemons, oranges, table grapes, apples and peaches of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) 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.
(9) 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.
(10) 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.
(11) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7), as last 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.
(12) 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 A1, A2 and A3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.
(13) 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.
(14) It should be specified that Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof, are to apply to this invitation to tender.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The tender submission period, the indicative refund amounts and the scheduled quantities for A3 export licences for fruit and vegetables 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 A3 licences shall be three months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 June 2002.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 1331/90
of 14 May 1990
fixing, for the 1990 harvest, the norm and intervention prices and the premiums granted to purchasers of leaf tobacco, the derived intervention prices for baled tobacco, the reference qualities, the production areas and the guaranteed maximum quantities for the 1991 harvest and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1252/89
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)
N° 1329/90 (2), and in particular Article 2 (5), Article 4 (4) and (5) and Article 6 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas, when the prices for raw tobacco are fixed, account should be taken both of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community wishes to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the norm and intervention prices for leaf tobacco must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 in order, in particular, to encourage producers to convert to the cultivation of those varieties which are most in demand and most competitive as well as being the least harmful to health;
Whereas it is again desirable to fix, in respect of the 1990 harvest, derived intervention prices both for the varieties which, before the common organization of the market came into force or, in the case of varieties grown in Greece, Spain and Portugal, prior to accession, qualified for a price guarantee at the baled tobacco stage and for the varieties which are grown mainly in Germany, in order to take account of the marketing practices in that country;
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) N° 727/70 stipulates the fixing each year, for the following year's harvest and within an overall quantity for the Community, and in line with the criteria specified in that Article, of a maximum guaranteed quantity for each tobacco variety or group of varieties grown in the Community, any overrun of which leads to a proportional reduction in the norm and intervention prices and in the premiums; whereas these maximum guaranteed quantities must therefore be set for the 1991 harvest;
Whereas, when the provisions on the production quantity control arrangements are applied, account should be taken of the differences in quality depending on the characteristics of the soil and the climate; whereas those conditions are met for the varieties Badischer Burley and Paraguay; whereas maximum guaranteed quantities should consequently be fixed for specific production areas for these varieties;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 1252/89 (6) fixes in particular the maximum guaranteed quantities for each variety or group of varieties of tobacco from the 1990 harvest; whereas, however, in view of the major, unforeseen changes which have occurred in the supply of and demand for certain varieties, the maximum guaranteed quantities for certain varieties should be adjusted in the interest of the producers;
producers;
Whereas the premium granted to purchasers of Community tobacco is intended to enable them to pay producers of leaf tobacco a price which is at the level of the norm price, account being taken of the trend in world market prices, and the level of prices established by the interaction of supply and demand on the Community market;
Whereas the abovementioned prices and the amount of the amount of the premium must be fixed for each variety produced in recognized production areas and for a reference quality defined in such a way that as objective an assessment as possible can be made of the quality of the tobacco;
Whereas, for the 1990 harvest, the recognized production areas for each variety of tobacco should be specified and the definitions of the reference qualities should be those laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1252/89;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1179/90 (7) provides that a
new representative rate for tobacco is to apply from 14 May
1990 to the currencies of certain Member States;
whereasthat provision results, as from that date, in a
reduction in terms of national currency of premiums fixed in
ecus for a substantial part of the harvest in the Member
States where the representative rate is revalued; whereas the whole harvest in a year should be treated in the same way in view of the characteristics of the sector; whereas that aim may be achieved if the old rate of exchange in the Member States concerned is made applicable to premiums paid for the 1989 harvest,
For the 1990 harvest, the reference qualities and recognized production areas for each of the varieties of Community-produced leaf tobacco referred to in Article 2 (3) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) N° 727/70, shall be as set out respectively in Annexes I and III to this Regulation.
For the 1990 harvest, the reference qualities and recognized production areas referred to in Article 6 (3) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) N° 727/70, for each of the varieties of Community-produced baled tobacco in respect of which a derived intervention price is fixed, shall be as set out respectively in Annexes II and III to this Regulation.
1. For the 1990 harvest, the norm and intervention prices and the amounts of the premium granted to purchasers of leaf tobacco, referred to in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC)
No 727/70, and the derived intervention prices for baled tobacco referred to in Article 6 of the said Regulation, shall be as set out in Annex IV to this Regulation.
2. Without prejudice to Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, the prices and premiums shall apply only provided that each of the varieties was grown in the corresponding production areas as set out in Annex III to this Regulation.
3. For the 1991 harvest, the maximum guaranteed quantities of leaf tobacco provided for in Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shall be as set out in the second column of Annex V to this Regulation.
Annex V to Regulation (EEC) N° 1252/89 is hereby amended as set out in the first column of Annex V to this Regulation.
The conversion rate to be applied in Germany to the premiums applying to the 1989 tobacco harvest shall be the representative rate applying to the currency in question before 14 May 1990.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1697/86 (3), makes imports of certain textile products originating in certain non-member countries subject to Community surveillance;
Whereas Turkey has introduced administrative procedures to provide rapid information on the trend of trade in certain textile products;
Whereas a system of administrative cooperation has been established between the European Economic Community and Turkey with regard to trade in certain textile products referred in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas, in order to be effective, such administrative cooperation must have a consistent statistical basis;
Whereas it is appropriate that this Regulation should not apply in respect of those products referred to in the Annex to this Regulation, in so far as these originated in Turkey and have been introduced into the customs territory of the Community prior to its entry into force, but have not been released into free circulation in the Community,
Without prejudice to the other provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79, the import document referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation shall be issued or endorsed for the products listed in the Annex I only on presentation of an export information document corresponding to the specimen shown in Annex II or, where appropriate, of an export information document relating to cottage industry and folklore products corresponding to the specimen shown in Annex III.
The said export information documents shall be issued by the Istanbul, Izmir (Smyrna) and Cukurova ready-made garment exporters' associations.
Any export advice note should be presented to the competent authorities in the Member States within one month of its date of issue.
The import document referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 may be used for two months from the date of issue. In exceptional circumstances that period may be extended by a month.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 June 1986.
It shall not apply in respect of products originating in Turkey which have previously been introduced into the customs territory of the Community, but which have not been released into free circulation in the Community.
It shall apply until 31 December 1986.

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 1624/98(2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1098/94(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2528/98(4), lays down the regional base areas applicable under the support system for producers of certain arable crops;
(2) Whereas applications for conversion equivalent to 12979 ha have been submitted under Council Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 of 26 April 1994 concerning the conversion of land currently under arable crops to extensive livestock farming in Portugal(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1461/95(6); whereas the basic area should be adjusted accordingly;
(3) Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1098/94;
(4) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1098/94 the figures relating to the regions indicated in the sectors headed "Portugal" shall be replaced by the figures in the Annex to this Regulation.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 the Member States that avail themselves of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1117/89 (5), may not use the compensation possibilities of Article 4a of that Regulation; whereas the provisions relating to the temporary grant of reference quantities thus prove to be of use; whereas it is therefore appropriate to relax in this case the requirements relating to the date of execution of such grants during the 12-month period concerned; whereas temporary grants constitute an exception within the framework of the arrangements; whereas the authorization laid down in this Regulation should be limited to the eighth 12-month period;
Whereas Article 5c (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 763/89 (7), fixes for each Member State the total quantity of milk and milk equivalent delivered to undertakings treating or processing milk or other milk products in respect of the eight consecutive periods of the additional levy arrangements;

Whereas an examination of the way the additional levy system operates has shown that the situation of certain categories of producers continues to cause concern and the trend in their production for forthcoming years requires further quantities to be found by means of an increase in
the Community reserve; whereas in order to achieve the objective of production control, it is consequently necessary to reduce the guaranteed total quantities of each Member State as from the sixth period of application of the arrangements,
Article 5 (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following subparagraph is added to paragraph 1a:
´By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the Member States that apply Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 may, for the eighth period of 12 months, authorize and record temporary grants up to 31 December 1991 at the latest';
2. the introductory sentence in paragraph 3 (c) is replaced by the following:

31989D0247 | 89/247/EEC: Commission Decision of 28 March 1989 authorizing certain Member States to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Council Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of isolated bark of conifers originating in California (USA) (Only the Danish, German, French and Dutch texts are authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION
of 28 March 1989
authorizing certain Member States to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Council Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of isolated bark of conifers originating in California (USA)
(Only the Danish, German, French and Dutch texts are authentic)
(89/247/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Directive 89/83/EEC (2), and in particular Article 14 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by the Member States concerned,
Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, isolated bark of conifers originating in non-European countries may in principle not be introduced into the Community because of the risk of introducing harmful organisms;
Whereas, however, Article 14 (3) of the abovementioned Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas it has appeared that coniferous bark originating in California of the quality available there is particularly appropriate as a growing medium or part of a growing medium for orchid plants, thus reducing the number of transplanting or repotting operations necessary in the process of orchid growing;
Whereas the Commission has established on the basis of the information available at present that the risk of spreading harmful organisms, in particular Scolytidae and Bursaphelencus xylophilus through the introduction of coniferous bark originating in California for the aforementioned purpose is obviated provided that certain technical conditions are satisfied; whereas this Decision might be revised in the light of the effectiveness of certain fumigation schedules on the control of Bursaphelencus xylophilus;
Whereas the Member States concerned should therefore be authorized to provide for derogations in respect of coniferous bark originating in California under those technical conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. Belgium, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are hereby authorized to provide, under the conditions laid down in paragraph 2, for derogations from Article 4 (1) of Directive 77/93/EEC, with regard to the prohibition referred to in Part A (5) of Annex III thereto, for coniferous bark, originating in California (USA) provided that it is intended as a growing medium for orchid plants.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the following conditions shall be satisfied:
(a) The bark shall be stored in heaps on hard standing in the open and subsequently, within two weeks prior to dispatch and under a gas-proof cover, undergo fumigation with methylbromide which is carried out at a minmum rate of 32 g/m3 of total volume for at least 72 hours at an initial temperature of + 10 °C. It may be decided, on the basis of scientific evidence and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16 of Directive 77/93/EEC, that other schedules shall or may be used.
(b) The fumigation procedures as described in (a) shall be carried out by officially licensed fumigation operatives using proper fumigation facilities and qualified staff to requisite standards. The operatives shall be informed of the details of the procedure required for bark fumigation.
(c) The individual fumigation procedure shall systematically be supervised at the fumigation site directly by officials of the official plant protection organization of the USA or by cooperating State officials in such a way as to guarantee compliance with the requirements laid down in (a) and (b).
(d) The bark shall be consigned in bags or other containers which habe been closed, sealed and labelled with the indication 'fumigated' immediately after fumigation under the supervision of the official plant protection organization of the USA.
(e) The bark shall be accompanied by an official plant health certificate issued by the official plant protection organization of the USA after finalization of fumigation, closing and sealing.
(f) Without prejudice to the information required under the section relating to disinfestation and/or disinfection treatment, the certificate shall bear the following additional declaration:
'It is hereby certified that the bark shipped under this certificate been fumigated by . . . . . . (licensed fumigation operative) . . . . . . . at . . . . . . (fumigation site) . . . . . . in accordance with Commission Decision 89/247/EEC.'
(g) The importing Member States shall draw representative samples from each consignment for official examination in respect of the presence of harmful organisms and the effectiveness of fumigation.
The authorization granted in Article 1 shall expire on 31 December 1991. It shall be revoked in so far as it is established that the conditions laid down therein are not sufficient to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms or have not been complied with.
Member States shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of the provisions under which they make use of the authorization granted in Article 1. They shall provide the Commission and the other Member States, before 1 March of each year, with the information on amounts imported pursuant to this Decision and with a detailed technical report of the official examination referred to in Article 1 (2) (g); copies of each plant health certificate shall be transmitted to the Commission.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Fedeal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31993L0098 | Council Directive 93/98/EEC of 29 October 1993 harmonizing the term of protection of copyright and certain related rights
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/98/EEC of 29 October 1993 harmonizing the term of protection of copyright and certain related rights
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 57 (2), 66 and 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),
(1) Whereas the Berne Convention for the protection of literary and artistic works and the International Convention for the protection of performers, producers of phonograms and broadcasting organizations (Rome Convention) lay down only minimum terms of protection of the rights they refer to, leaving the Contracting States free to grant longer terms; whereas certain Member States have exercised this entitlement; whereas in addition certain Member States have not become party to the Rome Convention;
(2) Whereas there are consequently differences between the national laws governing the terms of protection of copyright and related rights, which are liable to impede the free movement of goods and freedom to provide services, and to distort competition in the common market; whereas therefore with a view to the smooth operation of the internal market, the laws of the Member States should be harmonized so as to make terms of protection identical throughout the Community;
(3) Whereas harmonization must cover not only the terms of protection as such, but also certain implementing arrangements such as the date from which each term of protection is calculated;
(4) Whereas the provisions of this Directive do not affect the application by the Member States of the provisions of Article 14a (2) (b), (c) and (d) and (3) of the Berne Convention;
(5) Whereas the minimum term of protection laid down by the Berne Convention, namely the life of the author and 50 years after his death, was intended to provide protection for the author and the first two generations of his descendants; whereas the average lifespan in the Community has grown longer, to the point where this term is no longer sufficient to cover two generations;
(6) Whereas certain Member States have granted a term longer than 50 years after the death of the author in order to offset the effects of the world wars on the exploitation of authors' works;
(7) Whereas for the protection of related rights certain Member States have introduced a term of 50 years after lawful publication or lawful communication to the public;
(8) Whereas under the Community position adopted for the Uruguay Round negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) the term of protection for producers of phonograms should be 50 years after first publication;
(9) Whereas due regard for established rights is one of the general principles of law protected by the Community legal order; whereas, therefore, a harmonization of the terms of protection of copyright and related rights cannot have the effect of reducing the protection currently enjoyed by rightholders in the Community; whereas in order to keep the effects of transitional measures to a minimum and to allow the internal market to operate in practice, the harmonization of the term of protection should take place on a long term basis;
(10) Whereas in its communication of 17 January 1991 'Follow-up to the Green Paper - Working programme of the Commission in the field of copyright and neighbouring rights' the Commission stresses the need to harmonize copyright and neighbouring rights at a high level of protection since these rights are fundamental to intellectual creation and stresses that their protection ensures the maintenance and development of creativity in the interest of authors, cultural industries, consumers and society as a whole;
(11) Whereas in order to establish a high level of protection which at the same time meets the requirements of the internal market and the need to establish a legal environment conducive to the harmonious development of literary and artistic creation in the Community, the term of protection for copyright should be harmonized at 70 years after the death of the author or 70 years after the work is lawfully made available to the public, and for related rights at 50 years after the event which sets the term running;
(12) Whereas collections are protected according to Article 2 (5) of the Berne Convention when, by reason of the selection and arrangement of their content, they constitute intellectual creations; whereas those works are protected as such, without prejudice to the copyright in each of the works forming part of such collections, whereas in consequence specific terms of protection may apply to works included in collections;
(13) Whereas in all cases where one or more physical persons are identified as authors the term of protection should be calculated after their death; whereas the question of authorship in the whole or a part of a work is a question of fact which the national courts may have to decide;
(14) Whereas terms of protection should be calculated from the first day of January of the year following the relevant event, as they are in the Berne and Rome Conventions;
(15) Whereas Article 1 of Council Directive 91/250/EEC of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs (4) provides that Member States are to protect computer programs, by copyright, as literary works within the meaning of the Berne Convention; whereas this Directive harmonizes the term of protection of literary works in the Community; whereas Article 8 of Directive 91/250/EEC, which merely makes provisional arrangements governing the term of protection of computer programs, should accordingly be repealed;
(16) Whereas Articles 11 and 12 of Council Directive 92/100/EEC of 19 November 1992 on rental right and lending right and on certain rights related to copyright in the field of intellectual property (5) make provision for minimum terms of protection only, subject to any further harmonization; whereas this Directive provides such further harmonization; whereas these Articles should accordingly be repealed;
(17) Whereas the protection of photographs in the Member States is the subject of varying regimes; whereas in order to achieve a sufficient harmonization of the term of protection of photographic works, in particular of those which, due to their artistic or professional character, are of importance within the internal market, it is necessary to define the level of originality required in this Directive; whereas a photographic work within the meaning of the Berne Convention is to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account; whereas the protection of other photographs should be left to national law;
(18) Whereas, in order to avoid differences in the term of protection as regards related rights it is necessary to provide the same starting point for the calculation of the term throughout the Community; whereas the performance, fixation, transmission, lawful publication, and lawful communication to the public, that is to say the means of making a subject of a related right perceptible in all appropriate ways to persons in general, should be taken into account for the calculation of the term of protection regardless of the country where this performance, fixation, transmission, lawful publication, or lawful communication to the public takes place;
(19) Whereas the rights of broadcasting organizations in their broadcasts, whether these broadcasts are transmitted by wire or over the air, including by cable or satellite, should not be perpetual; whereas it is therefore necessary to have the term of protection running from the first transmission of a particular broadcast only; whereas this provision is understood to avoid a new term running in cases where a broadcast is identical to a previous one;
(20) Whereas the Member States should remain free to maintain or introduce other rights related to copyright in particular in relation to the protection of critical and scientific publications; whereas, in order to ensure transparency at Community level, it is however necessary for Member States which introduce new related rights to notify the Commission;
(21) Whereas it is useful to make clear that the harmonization brought about by this Directive does not apply to moral rights;
(22) Whereas, for works whose country of origin within the meaning of the Berne Convention is a third country and whose author is not a Community national, comparison of terms of protection should be applied, provided that the term accorded in the Community does not exceed the term laid down in this Directive;
(23) Whereas where a rightholder who is not a Community national qualifies for protection under an international agreement the term of protection of related rights should be the same as that laid down in this Directive, except that it should not exceed that fixed in the country of which the rightholder is a national;
(24) Whereas comparison of terms should not result in Member States being brought into conflict with their international obligations;
(25) Whereas, for the smooth functioning of the internal market this Directive should be applied as from 1 July 1995;
(26) Whereas Member States should remain free to adopt provisions on the interpretation, adaptation and further execution of contracts on the exploitation of protected works and other subject matter which were concluded before the extension of the term of protection resulting from this Directive;
(27) Whereas respect of acquired rights and legitimate expectations is part of the Community legal order; whereas Member States may provide in particular that in certain circumstances the copyright and related rights which are revived pursuant to this Directive may not give rise to payments by persons who undertook in good faith the exploitation of the works at the time when such works lay within the public domain,
Duration of authors' rights
1. The rights of an author of a literary or artistic work within the meaning of Article 2 of the Berne Convention shall run for the life of the author and for 70 years after his death, irrespective of the date when the work is lawfully made available to the public.
2. In the case of a work of joint authorship the term referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated from the death of the last surviving author.
3. In the case of anonymous or pseudonymous works, the term of protection shall run for seventy years after the work is lawfully made available to the public. However, when the pseudonym adopted by the author leaves no doubt as to his identity, or if the author discloses his identity during the period referred to in the first sentence, the term of protection applicable shall be that laid down in paragraph 1.
4. Where a Member State provides for particular provisions on copyright in respect of collective works or for a legal person to be designated as the rightholder, the term of protection shall be calculated according to the provisions of paragraph 3, except if the natural persons who have created the work as such are identified as such in the versions of the work which are made available to the public. This paragraph is without prejudice to the rights of identified authors whose identifiable contributions are included in such works, to which contributions paragraph 1 or 2 shall apply.
5. Where a work is published in volumes, parts, instalments, issues or episodes and the term of protection runs from the time when the work was lawfully made available to the public, the term of protection shall run for each such item separately.
6. In the case of works for which the term of protection is not calculated from the death of the author or authors and which have not been lawfully made available to the public within seventy years from their creation, the protection shall terminate.
Cinematographic or audiovisual works
1. The principal director of a cinematographic or audiovisual work shall be considered as its author or one of its authors. Member States shall be free to designate other co-authors.
2. The term of protection of cinematographic or audiovisual works shall expire 70 years after the death of the last of the following persons to survive, whether or not these persons are designated as co-authors: the principal director, the author of the screenplay, the author of the dialogue and the composer of music specifically created for use in the cinematographic or audiovisual work.
Duration of related rights
1. The rights of performers shall expire 50 years after the date of the performance. However, if a fixation of the performance is lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public within this period, the rights shall expire 50 years from the date of the first such publication or the first such communication to the public, whichever is the earlier.
2. The rights of producers of phonograms shall expire 50 years after the fixation is made. However, if the phonogram is lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public during this period, the rights shall expire 50 years from the date of the first such publication or the first such communication to the public, whichever is the earlier.
3. The rights of producers of the first fixation of a film shall expire 50 years after the fixation is made. However, if the film is lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public during this period, the rights shall expire 50 years from the date of the first such publication or the first such communication to the public, whichever is the earlier. The term 'film' shall designate a cinematographic or audiovisual work or moving images, whether or not accompanied by sound.
4. The rights of broadcasting organizations shall expire 50 years after the first transmission of a broadcast, whether this broadcast is transmitted by wire or over the air, including by cable or satellite.
Protection of previously unpublished works
Any person who, after the expiry of copyright protection, for the first time lawfully publishes or lawfully communicates to the public a previously unpublished work, shall benefit from a protection equivalent to the economic rights of the author. The term of protection of such rights shall be 25 years from the time when the work was first lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public.
Critical and scientific publications
Member States may protect critical and scientific publications of works which have come into the public domain. The maximum term of protection of such rights shall be 30 years from the time when the publication was first lawfully published.
Protection of photographs
Photographs which are original in the sense that they are the author's own intellectual creation shall be protected in accordance with Article 1. No other criteria shall be applied to determine their eligibility for protection. Member States may provide for the protection of other photographs.
Protection vis-Ă -vis third countries
1. Where the country of origin of a work, within the meaning of the Berne Convention, is a third country, and the author of the work is not a Community national, the term of protection granted by the Member States shall expire on the date of expiry of the protection granted in the country of origin of the work, but may not exceed the term laid down in Article 1.
2. The terms of protection laid down in Article 3 shall also apply in the case of rightholders who are not Community nationals, provided Member States grant them protection. However, without prejudice to the international obligations of the Member States, the term of protection granted by Member States shall expire no later than the date of expiry of the protection granted in the country of which the rightholder is a national and may not exceed the term laid down in Article 3.
3. Member States which, at the date of adoption of this Directive, in particular pursuant to their international obligations, granted a longer term of protection than that which would result from the provisions, referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may maintain this protection until the conclusion of international agreements on the term of protection by copyright or related rights.
Calculation of terms
The terms laid down in this Directive are calculated from the first day of January of the year following the event which gives rise to them.
Moral rights
This Directive shall be without prejudice to the provisions of the Member States regulating moral rights.

2. The terms of protection provided for in this Directive shall apply to all works and subject matter which are protected in at least one Member State, on the date referred to in Article 13 (1), pursuant to national provisions on copyright or related rights or which meet the criteria for protection under Directive 92/100/EEC.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Chronic wasting disease has been reported in farmed and wild deer and elk in Canada and the United States of America. So far, no native cases of the disease have been confirmed elsewhere.
(2) In its opinion of 6 and 7 March 2003 the Scientific Steering Committee recommended reinforced protection of animal and public health in the Community from the risk posed by chronic wasting disease in cervids in Canada and the United States of America.
(3) As Canada and the United States of America do not appear on the list of third counties approved to export non-domestic ruminant animals to the Community laid down in Council Decision 79/542/EEC 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), the export of live cervids from these countries to the Community is already precluded.
(4) Council Directive 92/65/EEC 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(1) to Directive 90/425/EEC (3) specifies that only semen, ova and embryos of certain named species may be imported into the Community. Cervid species are not included. Therefore the import of semen, embryos and ova of cervid animals to the Community is already precluded.
(5) Measures should be introduced to minimise the potential public and animal health risk posed by the importation of fresh meat, meat products and meat preparations of farmed and wild cervids.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 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,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 organisation of the market in bananas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2587/2001(2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 12(6) and Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, compensatory aid to Community producers for any loss of income is calculated on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income and the average production income from bananas produced and marketed in the Community during the year in question.
(2) Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 of 9 July 1993 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 471/2001(4), fixes the flat-rate reference income at EUR 64,03 per 100 kilograms net weight of green bananas ex-packing shed.
(3) In 2002, the average production income, calculated on the basis of the average of the prices for bananas marketed outside the producer regions at the stage of delivery at first port of unloading (goods not unloaded), on the one hand, and the selling prices on local markets for bananas marketed in their producer region, on the other, less the flat-rate amounts laid down in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, was less than the flat-rate reference income fixed for 2002. The compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 2002 should be fixed accordingly.
(4) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, supplementary aid is granted in one or more producer regions where the average income from production is significantly lower than the average for the Community.
(5) The annual average production income from the marketing of bananas produced in Martinique and Guadeloupe has proved to be significantly lower than the Community average during 2002. As a result, supplementary aid should be granted in the producer regions of Martinique and Guadeloupe, in accordance with the practice followed in recent years. Supplementary aid covering a percentage of the difference between the average income in the Community and the average income recorded on selling products in those regions should be fixed, using a degressive calculation method in which the first 10 % of this difference is not compensated for.
(6) The unit amount of the advances and the amount of the relevant security are established, in accordance with Article 4(2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, on the basis of the aid fixed for the preceding year.
(7) Given that not all the necessary data were available, it has not hitherto been possible to determine the compensatory aid for 2002. Provision should be made for the balance of the aid for 2002 and of the advances for bananas marketed during January and February 2003 to be paid within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 459/80 (2), and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 17 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, where the free-at-frontier offer price for a wine plus customs duties is lower than the reference price for that product, imports of that wine and of wines treated on the same basis shall be subject to a countervailing charge equal to the difference between the reference price and the free-at-frontier offer price plus customs duties;
Whereas the aforesaid countervailing charge is not, however, levied with regard to third countries which are prepared to guarantee, and are in a position to do so, that, on imports of products originating in and coming from their territory, the price applied will not be less than the reference price less customs duties and that any deflection of trade will be avoided;
Whereas the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic has indicated by letter dated 7 February 1980, that it is prepared to give such a guarantee in respect of exports of certain wines to the Community;
Whereas wine originating in and coming from Czechoslovakia is exported to the Community by the State-trading undertaking "Koospol", being the sole exporter ; whereas the competent authorities of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic have the duty of ensuring that the aforesaid guarantee is respected and will authorize only exports in respect of which they are satisfied that the Community free-at-frontier offer price is not lower than the reference price less customs duties;
Whereas the competent authorities of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic will ensure that any deflection of trade is avoided ; whereas, to this end, they will take all necessary steps to prevent any measures being taken which are likely to result indirectly in prices lower than the reference prices less customs duties, such as the taking-over of marketing costs, the conclusion of arrangements linking the exports concerned to other transactions or any measure having similar effect;
Whereas they undertake to communicate periodically to the Commission details concerning exports of wines to the Community and to enable the Commission to monitor continuously the effectiveness of the measures taken;
Whereas the problems relating to the respecting of the aforesaid guarantee declaration have been discussed in detail with the competent Czech authorities ; whereas, following those discussions, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic may be considered as being in a position to respect its guarantee declaration ; whereas, consequently, there is no need to levy a countervailing charge with regard to the aforesaid products, originating in and coming from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic ; whereas it is necessary, therefore, to supplement Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2223/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 993/78 (4);

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2598/95 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (3), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2537/95 (4), and in particular Articles 14 (4) and 24 (6) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 provides for specific measures to promote livestock farming in the archipelagoes of the Azores and Madeira; whereas these measures include, in the beef and veal sector, a supplement to the special premium for male bovine animals and to the premium for maintaining suckler cows as provided for in Articles 4b and 4d respectively of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2417/95 (6); whereas provision should be made for these supplements to be granted under the rules applicable to those premium schemes;
Whereas the measures to promote beef and veal production in the Azores seek to bolster traditional economic activities vital to the Azores archipelago; whereas one such traditional activity in the beef and veal sector consists of the production of animals for fattening in other regions of the Community; whereas provision should therefore be made in order that the supplement to the special premium may also be paid to the Azores livestock producer prior to shipment of the animals;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 provides for specific measures to promote livestock farming in the French overseas departments; whereas these measures include, in the beef and veal sector, derogations from the premium schemes provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, and a supplement to the special premium for male bovine animals and to the premium for maintaining suckler cows; whereas provisions should be made therefore for the basic premium and the supplement to be granted in the French overseas departments under the rules applicable to those premium schemes, and, where necessary, for the derogations provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91;
Whereas Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 provides for the freezing, within the French regional limit, of the number of animals in respect of which the special premium has been granted in the overseas departments; whereas it is appropriate to take as the reference year 1994 which is the year in which producers still qualified for the French common ceiling and which precedes the establishment of the special quantity of 10 000 male bovine animals allocated to the overseas departments;
Whereas, in order to meet the requirements of the development of livestock farming in the French overseas departments, a specific reserve of rights to the suckler cow premium applicable in those territories should be established; whereas, in view of the specific nature of the territories, the task of laying down the conditions for allocating or reallocating rights under that reserve should be entrusted to the competent authorities, which must first notify them to the Commission; whereas, however, the legitimate interests of producers to whom individual rights to the premium have already been granted pursuant to Article 4d of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 must be preserved;
Whereas a large proportion of the applications for premiums in the overseas departments had already been submitted on the date of application of this Regulation; whereas the annual nature of the administration of the premium schemes means that different arrangements cannot be adopted which would apply only at the end of the year; whereas consequently the derogations provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, in particular the non-application of the stocking density requirements requirements in the territory, should be extended to all eligible applications submitted for 1995;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 24 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1850/95 (2), applications for the suckler cow premium may be submitted within an overall period of six months during a calendar year; whereas, in order to enable producers in the overseas territories to qualify under Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, it is necessary to derogate from that provision;
Whereas, in order to attain the objectives set for the territories in question and to take account of the specific needs of the different regions concerned, the authorities of the Member States should be permitted to adopt additional administrative provisions for the grant of these aids;
Whereas, as a result of the changes in respect of the French overseas departments and in the interests of legal certainty, Regulation (EEC) No 231/93 (3) should be repealed and the arrangements applicable to the Azores and Madeira incorporated in this Regulation;
Whereas, in order to enable Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 to be applied forthwith, it is essential that this Regulation enter into force at the earliest opportunity;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Measures to promote cattle farming in the Azores and Madeira
1. The supplement to the special premium for the fattening of male bovine animals, provided for in Articles 14 (2) and 24 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 for Madeira and the Azores respectively, shall be granted on the basis of the provisions applicable to applications under the scheme for the special premium for beef and veal producers provided for in Article 4b of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68.

The supplement shall in such circumstances be granted when the animal leaves the Azores, upon application by the producer who has most recently undertaken the raising of the animals concerned over a minimum period of two months. Each application shall include:
- the identification numbers of the animals,
- a declaration by the producer that the animal is over three months and under eight months of age, and

4. The Portuguese authorities may adopt, as necessary, additional provisions for the grant of the supplements referred to in this Article. They shall inform the Commission of such action forthwith. They shall in addition notify the Commission each year, by 31 March at the latest, of the number of animals in respect of which the supplement has been applied for and granted, specifying the number of animals in respect of which the supplement referred to in paragraph 2 has been paid.
Measures to promote cattle farming in the French overseas departments
1. The basic premium and the supplement to the special premium for the fattening of male bovine animals provided for in respect of the French overseas departments in Article 4b of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 and Article 5 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 respectively shall be granted on the basis of the provisions applicable to applications under the scheme for the special premium for beef and veal producers and of those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91.
2. For the purpose of calculating the freezing of the number of animals within the regional ceiling referred to in Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, account shall be taken of the number of animals in respect of which the first tranche of the special premium was paid for 1994. The freezing of the number of animals shall apply from 1995.
3. The basic premium and the supplement to the premium for maintaining suckler cows provided for in respect of the French overseas departments in Article 4d of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 and Article 5 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 respectively shall be granted on the basis of the provisions applicable to applications under the scheme for the premium for maintaining suckler cows and of those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91.
4.

The competent authorities shall lay down special conditions for allocating or reallocating these rights. They shall present the conditions to the Commission for consideration prior to implementation.
5. The French authorities shall adopt the provisions necessary to ensure, where necessary, compliance with the individual ceilings allocated already to producers pursuant to Article 4d of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68. They shall notify the Commission of the measures taken at the earliest opportunity.
6. The derogations provided for in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 shall apply also to applications for the special premium and/or the suckler cow premium which, on the date of entry into force of this Regulation, have been submitted already in respect of 1995 and which meet the eligibility requirements for those premiums.
7. For 1995, notwithstanding Article 24 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92, in the case of applications for the suckler cow premium submitted in the overseas departments, France may determine a new period in excess of the total six-month period. In that event it shall adopt additional control measures to prevent the premium being granted twice for a single animal.
8. The French authorities may adopt, as necessary, additional provisions for the grant of the supplements referred to in this Article. They shall present these provisions to the Commission for consideration prior to implementation. They shall furthermore notify the Commission each year, by 31 March at the latest, of the number of animals in respect of which the supplement has been applied for and granted.

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 Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas;
A. Procedure
1. In October 1985 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Confederation of European Typewriter Manufacturers (CETMA) on behalf of German and Italian producers of electronic typewriters representing substantially all Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the opening of the proceeding which was accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2). The proceeding concerned all kinds of electronic typewriters falling within Common Customs Tariff subheadings ex 84.51 A or ex 84.52 B, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 84.51 ex 12, ex 14, ex 19 and ex 20, and 84.52 ex 95, originating in Taiwan.
2. The Commission officially so advised the exporter and import known to be concerned and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
3. One producer/exporter made its views known in writing.
4. No submissions were made by Community purchasers of the product in question.
5. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out an investigation at the premises of Brother International Europe Ltd, Manchester, United Kingdom.
6. The investigation of dumping covered the period 1 January to 31 December 1985.
B. Result of the investigation
7. The investigation has established that, during the period investigated, imports of the product in question were declared, for customs purposes as being of Taiwanese origin and were sold in the Community on this basis.
8. Although the electronic typewriters referred to above were shipped from Taiwan to the Community, it was ascertained during the investigation that the operation carried out in Taiwan were not sufficient to confer Taiwanese origin on the products within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (3); the cost of these operations was found to be less than that which would constitute the last major transformation required by Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 to confer Taiwanese origin on the goods in question.
9. In the absence therefore of imports of electronic typewriters of Taiwanese origin during the period under investigation, the proceeding should be terminated,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of electronic typewriters falling within Common Customs Tariff subheadings ex 84.51 A or ex 84.52 B, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 84.51 ex 12, ex 14, ex 19 and ex 20, and 84.52 ex 95, originating in Taiwan, is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the rice in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 14 April 1983, the Federal Republic of Germany requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'PAR - Optical Multichannel Analyzer OMA2, model 1215/1216/1252 B', ordered on 24 June 1980 and intended to be used for the two-dimensional scanning of a streak camera tube for obtaining time - and spectrum - resolved intensity profiles, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 23 September 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an optical analyzer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the answer of the spectrum and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'PAR - Optical Multichannel Analyzer OMA2, model 1215/1216/1252 B', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 14 April 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas:
(1) Following the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia, and Slovakia to the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation agreed at the bilateral Summit on 19 May 2004 on the principle that the trade flows in accordance with the preferences granted previously under the bilateral arrangements between the new Member States and Switzerland should be maintained after the enlargement of the European Union. Parties therefore agreed to proceed with the adaptation of tariff concessions within the framework of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (1) (hereinafter called the Agreement), which entered into force on 1 June 2002. The adaptation of these concessions, which are listed in Annexes 1 and 2 of the Agreement, include notably the opening of a Community tariff quota for the import of live bovine animals of a weight exceeding 160 kg.
(2) It has been agreed with the Swiss Confederation that there should be no trade discontinuity. The procedures for adopting bilaterally a decision to amend Annexes 1 and 2 of the Agreement will not be completed immediately. In order to ensure that quota benefit is available until the entry into force of the said decision and for reasons of simplification, it is appropriate to open this tariff-quota concession on an autonomous and transitional basis.
(3) Detailed rules for the implementation of this Regulation and, in particular, the provisions required for quota management should be adopted in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 32 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (2).

1. A duty-free Community tariff quota is hereby opened on an autonomous and transitional basis for the period from the date of the entry into force of this Regulation until 30 June 2005 for the import of 4 600 heads of any live bovine animal originating in Switzerland weighing more than 160 kg, falling within CN code 0102 90 41, 0102 90 49, 0102 90 51, 0102 90 59, 0102 90 61, 0102 90 69, 0102 90 71 or 0102 90 79.
2. The rules of origin applicable to the products referred to in the first paragraph shall be those provided for in Article 4 of the Agreement.

It also notified a series of Acts on the basis of which these courses had already been set up before 1 January 1973. 1. Basic course for persons engaged in agriculture who commence training after attaining age 23 and had not previously acquired sufficient basic training (Stage 1 and Stage 2).
2. Other courses for trainees who have received basic training in agriculture or are aged at least 25 and have at least five years' relevant practical farming experience. (a) Craft courses in Northern Ireland, each of 8-80 hours, on modernization and development matters. Only persons completing successive modules exceeding 100 hours satisfy the Directive.
(b) Group training on the farm averaging 184 hours given by specialist and highly qualified instructors in Great Britain.
(c) Supervision and management courses, throughout the UK, taking the form of a combination of modules totalling at least 40 hours, part-time training totalling at least 120 hours or full-time training totalling 300, 600 or 900 hours. For this type of training only, trainees must be aged at least 25 and have attended course 1 stage 1 or 2 above to be eligible for financial assistance from the Community.
(d) Development courses throughout the UK of 100-900 hours taking the form of full-time training or part-time training spread over three years. The need to encourage the vocational advancement and adaptation of farmers and workers beyond the level of normal vocational training has long been recognized in the UK and the provision of these development courses therefore anticipated the arrangements envisaged in Article 5 (1) of the Directive;
Whereas, under Article 11 (3) of Directive 72/161/EEC, the Commission must decide whether, having regard to the objectives of the said Directive and to the need for a proper connection between the various measures, the provisions forwarded comply with the said Directive and thus satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community;
Whereas it is the basic aim of Title II of Directive 72/161/EEC to enable persons aged 18 or over engaged in agriculture to acquire new agricultural skills, or to improve those which they already possess, so that they can integrate into modern agriculture;
Whereas, to that end, the Member States are therefore required under Article 5 (1) and Article 6 (1) of Directive 72/161/EEC to set up schemes in addition to the existing normal agricultural courses of study in their countries, whereby farmers and hired and family farm workers may receive further training of a general, technical and economic nature;
Whereas, according to the third indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive 72/161/EEC, the Guidance Section of the EAGGF shall refund to Member States 25 % of the expenditure incurred in setting up the measures referred to, up to an overall amount of 1 500 units of (1)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 15.
account for each farmer or agricultural worker having completed a course of vocational training or advanced vocational training;
Whereas the abovementioned training courses correspond to the aim of Title II of the Directive referred to above and satisfy the requirements for full training courses for the general improvement of occupational skills for the acquisition of new skills by persons engaged in agriculture;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the provisions of this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,
1. The courses of basic and further training notified by the Government of the United Kingdom on 18 September 1975 for persons engaged in agriculture satisfy the conditions for a financial contribution from the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 8 of Directive 72/161/EEC.
2. The financial contribution by the Community shall be limited to eligible expenditure which has been incurred in respect of the courses referred to in paragraph 1 above since 1 January 1973.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 10(2), Article 11(2) and the second paragraph of Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 2003/43/EC (2) amended Directive 88/407/EEC, which made it necessary to recast Commission Decisions relating to the animal health conditions for imports into the Community of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species.
(2) The Commission therefore adopted Decision 2004/639/EC of 6 September 2004 laying down the importation conditions of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (3), which brought together the rules on imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species within a single act.
(3) However, problems have arisen with imports of bovine semen from third countries owing to missing or incorrect information in Annex B to Directive 88/407/EEC and in Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC, which should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) In order to enable economic operators to adapt to the new conditions set out in this Decision, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period in which under certain conditions semen of domestic animals of the bovine species complying with the conditions set out in the model veterinary certificate applicable before the date of application of this Decision may be imported into the Community.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex B to Directive 88/407/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision.
Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC is replaced by Annex II to this Decision.
For a transitional period ending 31 March 2006, Member States shall authorise the importation of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species provided that such semen:
(a) complies with the conditions set out in the model veterinary certificate in Annex II to Decision 2004/639/EC that was applicable before the date of application of the present Decision; and
(b) is accompanied by such a certificate duly completed.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2006.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2385/91 of 6 August 1991 laying down detailed rules for certain special cases regarding the definition of sheepmeat and goatmeat producers and producer groups
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/91 (2), and in particular Article 5 (9) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the grant of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers (3), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 (4),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 establishes, in particular, the definitions of sheepmeat and/or goatmeat producer and producer group; whereas, furthermore, that Regulation lays down that the Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, is to lay down detailed rules for the application of those definitions and in particular special cases arising from contractual forms provided for in agricultural law or covered by national customs and practices under which the farmer, while assuming the risks and/or organization of the rearing, is not the owner of all or part of the flock, and detailed rules for the application of the limits provided for in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 concerning producer groups;
Whereas, as regards the abovementioned contractual forms, provisions should be laid down in particular to cover cases of shared ownership, livestock lease and placing of ewes in agistment and certain situations where the shepherd of a flock is also owner of part of the latter; whereas, however, as regards livestock leases, special provisions must be laid down in the United Kingdom for the National Trust where it is the lessor in the Lake District area, since the said lessor imposes particularly strict conditions on lessees in order to ensure that the environment is protected;
Whereas the limits provided for in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 may, in the case of producer groups, be applied correctly using a single premium declaration signed by all the members and by means of certain provisions on penalties intended to ensure that the group assumes liability for declarations submitted;
Whereas, for the purposes of applying the abovementioned limits, rules should also be laid down for apportioning livestock in the case of groups where the animals belonging to each member cannot be identified; whereas the formula for apportionment applicable, in the case of disbanding, to the group's assets is suitable for the purpose;
Whereas, in order to prevent the limits in question from being circumvented, the concept of group should exclude any form of association featuring a lack of independence of or real participation by the members;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 lays down the conditions under which farmers practising transhumance are to be considered producers in less-favoured areas; whereas that Regulation lays down in particular that, to that end, on farmers whose holdings are located in geographical areas to be determined according to certain criteria and in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 are to be taken into account; whereas those criteria lead to the determination of the areas given in the Annex hereto;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Save as otherwise provided for in paragraph 4, in cases other than those referred to in Article 2 (1) where ownership of a flock of sheep and/or goats on the same farm is shared between two or more natural or legal persons, the producer within the meaning of point 1 of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3439/90 shall be deemed to be the person who has the greatest share of the sale of products from the flock in question.
The limits referred to in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall apply to the whole flock.
2. Where the owner of a flock of sheep and/or goats places the flock in agistment, the farmer in question shall remain the producer within the meaning of point 1 of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90. He shall identify the agister's holding in his premium application.
3. Where a flock of ewes and/or she-goats is held, in part or in whole, under a livestock lease and the lessee receives the product of the sale of the livestock products, the lessee shall be deemed to be the producer, with regard to the part in question, within the meaning of point 1 of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90.
The limits referred to in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/80 shall apply to the whole of the flock belonging to the lessor, on the one hand, and to the whole of the flock held by the lessee, on the other hand.
To this end, the lessor shall indicate - if appropriate in his premium application - the identification of the lessee's holding and the number of ewes leased to the latter; the lessee shall indicate in his premium application the identification of the lessor's holding and the number of ewes leased from him.
However, in the case of the Lake District area of the United Kingdom, the third subparagraph shall not apply to the National Trust where it is the lessor; in such event, the limits referred to shall apply to each lessee concerned.
4. Where the shepherd of a flock of sheep and/or goats is an employee of a producer within the meaning of point 1 of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 and at the same time is himself a producer within the meaning of the same Article with regard to a part of the flock:
- the limits referred to in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall apply to the whole of the flock belonging to the two producers,
- the producers shall be jointly and severally liable where the penalties provided for in Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 (4) are applied in the event of the two parts of the flock not being identified separately.
The premium application submitted by each producer must specify the employer-employee relationship and identify the other producer.
1. Where a premium application is submitted by a producer group within the meaning of point 2 of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90, the producer group must submit a single premium application, which must be signed by all the producers within the meaning of point 1 of the said Article; such producers shall remain subject to the obligations imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84. The premium shall be paid directly to the group.
The rules on penalties referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 shall apply to the group as such. However, the penalty provided for in Article 6 (6) of that Regulation shall apply to those members who, while remaining producers in the following year, no longer form part of the group.
2. Premium applications must state the number of animals brought to the group by each producer.
However, where the nature of the group is such that ownership of individual animals cannot be assigned to each producer, the articles of association or the rules of procedure of the group must necessarily give a formula for apportioning the sheep and/or goat flock between the various producers concerned within the meaning of point 1 of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90. That formula must correspond to the way the group's assets would be apportioned were the group to be disbanded. Except in the case of a substantial change in the membership of the group which has been notified to the competent authority for granting the premium, this apportionment shall remain unaltered in the following marketing years. The annual premium application must specify the number of ewes attributed to each producer on the basis of the said formula.
3. The following may not be deemed to constitute producers who are members of producer groups eligible for the application of the limits referred to in Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89:
(a) producer members having an employer-employee relationship with another producer member;
(b) producer members who do not contribute to the capital and labour of the enterprise and have no corresponding share in the profits.
1. The geographical areas referred to in the second indent of Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
2. Premium applications submitted by producers the registered addresses of whose farms are in one of the areas referred to in paragraph 1 and who wish to qualify under the provisions of Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 must indicate:
- the place or places where transhumance is to be carried out for the current marketing year,
- the period of at least 90 days referred to in the said paragraph and laid down for the current marketing year.
3. Premium applications from producers as referred to in paragraph 2 must be accompanied by documents certifying that transhumance has actually been carried out, except in cases of force majeure or duly justified natural circumstances, during two previous marketing years and in particular by an attestation from the local or regional authority at the place of transhumance certifying that the latter has actually taken place during at least 90 consecutive days.
4. In order to facilitate checks, the authority receiving the premium applicaitons shall notify the authority responsible for verification of the place of transhumance.
5. The Member States shall monitor the application of the provisions of this Article in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84. In addition, when carrying out administrative checks on applications, they shall ensure that the place of transhumance specified in the premium application is actually within one of the areas defined in Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Council Directive 75/268/EEC (5).
6. Member States shall notify the Commission of the premium applications as referred to in paragraph 2, received for the current marketing year, broken down according to the list of regions referred to in Article 3 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 at the same time as the communication required in that Article.
This Regulation shall apply to premium declarations submitted in respect of the 1992 and subsequent marketing years; however, the following shall apply from the 1991 marketing year:
- the second subparagraph of Article 2 (2) in the case of producer groups qualifying under Article 5 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89; however, in that case and for the 1991 marketing year, the formula for apportionment contained in the group's articles of association or rules of procedure and the number of ewes assigned to each producer shall be notified before 31 August 1991 to the competent authority,
- Article 2 (3),
- Article 3; however, as regards applications submitted in respect of the 1991 marketing year, the particulars and documents referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article shall be forwarded by 30 November 1991; furthermore, and by way of derogation for the said marketing year, the documents referred to in paragraph 3 shall relate to the 1990 marketing year only.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
