31985R2110 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 2110/85 of 25 July 1985 amending the list in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 as regards arrangements for processing under customs control
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2110/85
of 25 July 1985
amending the list in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 as regards arrangements for processing under customs control
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 of 26 September 1983 on arrangements permitting goods to be processed under customs control before being put into free circulation (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 630/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas certain processing operations which, before the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83, could be carried out on the basis of equivalent national arrangements, are not included in the Annex to the said Regulation; whereas the operations concerned involve the processing of certain petroleum products into products which may be given favourable tariff treatment within the meaning of Commission Regulations (EEC) No 1535/77 (3) and (EEC) No 1775/77 (4), and the processing of dichromium trioxide into chromium;
Whereas there exists an economic need for these kinds of processing operations to be allowed to continue under the arrangements for processing under customs control because the Community industry concerned has invested considerable sums in such operations; whereas, in the case of dichromium trioxide, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient supply of chromium for Community industry, notably the aircraft industry;
Whereas it is necessary to maintain the competitiveness of the industries concerned in relation to processing firms in non-member countries in order to avoid the danger of cessation of these economic activities within the Community;
Whereas a need has arisen, furthermore, to include under the arrangements for processing under customs control the usual forms of handling which may be carried out in a customs warehouse or a free zone, in accordance with Directive 71/235/EEC (5);
Whereas therefore the list in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 should be supplemented by including in it the operations referred to in the temporary measures adopted by means of Commission Regulations (EEC) No 283/85 (6) and (EEC) No 630/85, which were valid for six months only;
Whereas it is also necessary to make certain clarifications to the abovementioned list,
The list annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2763/83 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In columns I and II, the second to last entry concerning processing operations for tobaccos, is replaced as follows:
1.2 // // // Column I // Column II // // // 'Raw or unmanufactured tobacco falling within heading No 24.01 of the Common Customs Tariff // Processing into tobaccos partially or totally stripped falling within heading No 24.01 of the Common Customs Tariff and into tobacco refuse, falling within OJ No L 30, 2. 2. 1985, p. 5.
2. The following shall be added to columns I and II:
1.2 // // // Column I // Column II // // // 'Products falling within subheadings 27.07 B, 27.07 G, 27.10 A, 27.10 B, 27.10 C I, 27.10 C II and 27. 10 C III of the Common Customs Tariff // Processing into products falling within subheading 27.10 C II a) or 27.10 C II b) of the Common Customs Tariff // Crude oils falling within subheading 27.07 A of the Common Customs Tariff // Processing into products falling within subheading 27.07 B II and 29.01 D I b) of the Common Customs Tariff // Dichromium trioxide falling within heading No 28.21 of the Common Customs Tariff // Processing into chromium falling within subheading 81.04 D I b) of the Common Customs Tariff // Goods of any kind // Usual forms of handling permitted in customs warehouses or in free zones in accordance with Directive 71/235/EEC.' // //
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1985.

(3) 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 (3) now provides the legal basis for all measures relating to TSEs in animals. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1492/2004 amended Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 to clarify the specific TSE-related requirements for trade in semen, ova and embryos of the ovine and caprine species and to provide derogations for semen and embryos from animals of certain genotypes.
(4) It is therefore necessary to align the animal health model certificates in Annexes I and II to Decision 95/388/EC with the updated rules.
(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,
1. Annex I to Decision 95/388/EC is replaced by Annex I to this Decision.

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 16 September 1982, 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 - Oma 2 System', ordered on 13 December 1979 and intended to be used for the examination of the spectra of short-lived intermediate products resulting from laser photolysis, 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 1 March 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 a multichannel analyzer;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision in the spectral field of the action, 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 - Oma 2 System', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 16 September 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 of 18 May 1982 laying down special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3127/86 (2), and in particular Article 4a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas the present monetary situation, which features major rapid changes in certain Community currencies, and the fact that there is no monetary adjustment system mean that peas, field beans and sweet lupins, harvested in the Community cannot be disposed of under normal conditions; whereas those difficulties should be forestalled by introducing a system of differential amounts to be charged or granted in respect of the products used; whereas the said differential amounts should take into account the incidence of the actual exchange rates on the prices of the products in question in the various Member States;
Whereas adjustments should be provided for only in cases where the monetary gaps give rise to trade flows which disrupt or threaten to disrupt the market; whereas provision should therefore be made for a neutral margin when applying the differential amounts, and to amend therefore Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3527/86 (5),
AE
The following Article is hereby inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82:
'Article 12a
1. The aid referred to in Article 3 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 shall be increased or reduced by a differential amount calculated in accordance with the following paragraphs.
2. The differential amounts shall be calculated in the light of the incidence on prices:
(a) in the case Member States whose currencies are maintained as between themselves within a spread at any given moment of a maximum of 2,25 %, of the percentage difference between:
- the conversion rate used under the common agricultural policy,
and
- the conversion rate deriving from the central rate to which the coefficient specified in Article 6 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture
(b) in the case of Member States other than those referred to in (a), of the average of the percentage differences between:
- the relationship between the conversion rate used under the common agricultural policy for the currency of the Member State concerned and the central rate of each of the currencies of the Member States referred to in (a), to which the coefficient referred to in (a) has been applied, and
- the spot market rate for the currency of the Member State in question in relation to each of the currencies of the Member States referred to in (a), as recorded over a period to be determined.
However, for the purpose of calculating differential amounts, a neutral margin of five points may be applied to the monetary gaps referred to above.
3. The differential amounts shall be fixed by the Commission. They shall be altered whenever the gaps referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article differ by one point or more from the percentage used for the previous fixing.
4. The detailed rules for the application of this Article, including, those in respect of the fixing of the neutral margin applicable, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78.
AE
Any transitional measures which are required in order to facilitate the changeover from the arrangements at present in force to those provided for in this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78. Their period of application shall not extend beyond that which is strictly necessary in order to facilitate the changeover to the new arrangements.

(1) Article 2 of Commission Decision 2002/79/EC(2), as amended by Decision 2002/233/EC(3), provides for a review of that Decision before 1 May 2002 in order to assess whether the special conditions set out in that Decision provide a sufficient level of protection of public health within the Community and whether there is a continuing need for the sampling and analysis of each consignment by the competent authority of the importing Member State.
(2) The results of the sampling and analysis of each consignment of peanuts originating in or consigned from China demonstrate that there is a no longer need for the sampling and analysis of each consignment by the competent authority of the importing Member State and that an at random sampling and analysis will provide a sufficient level of protection of public health within the Community.
(3) In order to ensure that the random sampling and analysis of consignments of peanuts and certain products derived of peanuts originating in or consigned from China are performed in a harmonised manner throughout the Community, it is therefore appropriate to fix an approximate frequency for the at random sampling and analysis.
(4) It is necessary to update the list of points of entry for Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Ireland and Sweden through which the products concerned by Decision 2002/79/EC may be imported.
(5) Decision 2002/79/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision 2002/79/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is amended as follows:
(a) The following sentence is added to paragraph 3: "Each individual bag (or other packaging form) of the consignment shall be identified with that code. This requirement shall be applicable to the consignments, which have left China after 1 September 2002."
(b) Paragraph 5 is replaced by the following: "5. Member States shall undertake at random sampling and analysis of consignments of peanuts and certain products derived from peanuts originating in or consigned from China for aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin before release onto the market from the point of entry into the Community and shall inform the Commission of the results."
(c) The following paragraph 6 is added: "6. The random sampling and analysis referred to in paragraph 5 shall be carried out on approximately 10 % of consignments of products for each category of the products referred to in paragraph 1.
Any consignment, to be subjected to sampling and analysis, shall be detained before release onto the market from the point of entry into the Community for a maximum of 10 working days. In this event, the competent authorities in the Member States shall issue an accompanying official document establishing that the consignment has been subjected to official sampling and analysis and indicating the result of analysis."
2. Article 2 is replaced by the following: "Article 2
This Decision shall be kept under review in the light of information and guarantees provided by the competent authorities of China and on the basis of the results of the tests carried out by Member States.
This Decision shall be reviewed by 31 December 2002 at the latest, in order to assess whether the special conditions, referred to in Article 1, provide a sufficient level of protection of public health within the Community. The review shall also assess whether there is a continuing need for the special conditions."
3. Annex II is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Whereas light carcases and unseparated hindquarters of adult male bovine animals are often presented with certain offal attached; whereas the latter does not qualify for the purposes of refunds granted; whereas provision should therefore be made for the weight of such carcases and hinquarters to be corrected where the liver and/or kidneys are attached;

of 30 May 2005

(notified under document number C(2005) 1550)
(2005/413/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 24(5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2004/696/EC of 14 October 2004 on the list of programmes for the eradication and the monitoring of certain TSEs qualifying for a financial contribution from the Community in 2005 (2) sets out the list of such programmes, as well as the proposed rate and amount of the contribution for each programme.
(2) Commission Decision 2004/863/EC of 30 November 2004 approving the TSE eradication and monitoring programmes of certain Member States for 2005 and fixing the level of the Community’s financial contribution (3).
(3) On 28 January 2005, a Community expert panel, chaired by the Community Reference laboratory for TSEs (CRL), confirmed the detection of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in a goat slaughtered in France. It was the first case of BSE in a small ruminant under natural conditions.
(4) In its statement of 28 January 2005, the Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) stressed that the significance of that single case of BSE infection in a goat in France is yet to be assessed. In order to do so, the EFSA indicated that the results of an increased monitoring of TSEs in goats are essential.
(5) In response to that statement, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (4), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 214/2005 (5), introduced a new programme for the monitoring of TSE in caprine animals starting from 11 February 2005. Under that new monitoring programme, the numbers of healthy slaughter and dead-on-farm caprine animals to be tested have been substantially increased.
(6) Due to the particularities of the goat meat sector, the limited value of goats above 18 months of age for slaughter purposes, and in the light of the importance of an effective implementation of the increased monitoring to assess the prevalence of BSE in caprine animals, it is appropriate to increase the amount per test to be reimbursed to the Member States by the Community up to a maximum amount of EUR 30 per rapid test performed in caprine animals.
(7) In addition, Regulation (EC) 999/2001, as amended Commission Regulation (EC) No 36/2005 (6) sets out the compulsory systematic discriminatory testing to differentiate BSE from scrapie in all TSE cases detected in ovine and caprine animals to apply from 14 January 2005. That measure should be considered as eligible for the Community’s financial contribution to the TSE monitoring and eradication programmes in the Member States.
(8) In the light of the importance to assess the prevalence of BSE in small ruminants for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of public and animal health it is appropriate to reimburse 100% of the costs paid by the Member States for the primary molecular tests to differentiate BSE from scrapie.
(9) Therefore, it is necessary to revise the maximum amount of financial participation by the Community for each programme, as set out in Decisions 2004/696/EC and 2004/863/EC.
(10) Decision 2004/863/EC sets out the conditions for the Community’s financial contribution, including the forwarding of a monthly report to the Commission by the concerned Member States on the progress of the TSE monitoring programmes and the cost paid. The Annex to that sets out the costs to be paid. That Annex should be amended to take account of amendments to Annexes III and X to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 36/2005 and No 214/2005.
(11) Decisions 2004/696/EC and 2004/863/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2004/696/EC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision.
Decision 2004/863/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 1(2), ‘EUR 3 550 000’ is replaced by ‘EUR 3 586 000’;
2. in Article 2(2), ‘EUR 1 700 000’ is replaced by ‘EUR 1 736 000’;
3. in Article 3(2), ‘EUR 2 375 000’ is replaced by ‘EUR 2 426 000’;

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 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 of 28 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 regarding imports of bananas into the Community(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2598/2000(4), provides for the possibility of fixing an indicative quantity, expressed as a set percentage of the quantities available for each origin mentioned in Annex I to that Regulation, for the issuing of import licences for each of the first three quarters of the year.
(2) An analysis of the data on quantities of bananas marketed in the Community in 2000, and in particular on actual imports during the first quarter of that year, and on the outlook for supply and consumption on the Community market during the first quarter of 2001 indicates that, with a view to satisfactory supplies for the Community as a whole, an indicative quantity of 26 % of the quantity allocated to that origin in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 should be fixed.
(3) The same data indicate that the maximum quantity for which each operator may submit licence applications for the first quarter of 2001 should be fixed pursuant to Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98.
(4) In accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2374/2000 of 26 October 2000 on imports of bananas under the tariff quotas and of traditional ACP bananas for 2001(5), the quantities for which traditional operators registered in respect of 1999 may submit applications for import licences for a given quarter of 2001 are to be determined on the basis of the reference quantity fixed for 1999 by the competent national authority and notified to them. In the case of newcomer operators, that maximum quantity is to be determined by applying the set percentage to the annual allocation determined by the competent national authority in accordance with the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2598/2000 and notified to each operator concerned.
(5) This Regulation must enter into force without delay, and in any case before the start of the period for the submission of licence applications for the first quarter of 2001.
(6) This Regulation seeks to ensure uninterrupted supplies to the market in the first quarter of 2001 and continued trade with supplier countries but is without prejudice to any measures that the Council or the Commission may subsequently adopt, in particular to comply with international commitments entered into by the Community within the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and cannot be invoked by operators as grounds for legitimate expectations regarding the extension of the import arrangements.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
For the first quarter of 2001 the indicative quantity referred to in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2362/98 for imports of bananas under the tariff quotas or as part of the quantity of traditional ACP bananas provided for in Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 shall amount to 26 % of the quantities laid down for each origin mentioned in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2362/98.

Whereas compensatory payments as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 must be restricted to certain specified areas; whereas in particular one application for compensatory payment only should be permitted for any piece of land for any marketing year and on condition that no other application for a per hectare aid under the common organization of a market has been made for the same piece of land; whereas, however, compensatory payments may be granted on land that is aided under a scheme falling within the structural or environmental policies;
Whereas the planting of areas for the sole purpose of receiving a compensatory payment should be prevented; whereas to this end pieces of land in respect of which a compensatory payment is applied for must be cultivated normally;
Whereas in view of the special treatment afforded to durum wheat under Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 specific rules are required for this cereal; whereas in this connection and in order not to destabilize durum wheat production in the traditional regions the conditions to be met when entitlement to the supplement to the compensatory payment referred to in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is transferred should be laid down;
Whereas pieces of land sown to mixtures of cereals with oil seeds and protein crops are eligible for compensatory payments; whereas the compensatory payment for such areas should be based on the payment applicable to cereals;
Whereas, in order to prevent an excessive increase in maize growing for silage in certain parts of the Community, Member States should be authorized to make compensatory payments for areas sown to this crop at the rate applicable for another feed cereal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 (1) and (EEC) No 2295/92 (2), the compensatory payments referred to in Title I of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall be granted on the conditions laid down in this Regulation.

For the purposes of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 the definitions of permanent pasture and permanent crops set out in the Annex hereto shall apply. Land on which aid has been granted under Title I of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 (2) or under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3766/91 (3) shall remain eligible.
1. For the purposes of Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 an area of cereals must be fully sown in line with locally recognized standards and maintained until at least the beginning of flowering in normal growth conditions.
2. Where application for compensatory payment is made for an area containing trees, the size of the area must be adjusted in line with the number of trees according to the customary rules of the Member State concerned.
3. Compensatory payment as provided for in Articles 4 (1) and 8 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall be granted on areas applied for of a minimum of 0,3 ha, each separate piece of which is larger than the minimum size set by the Member State for the region in question.
If a producer's eligible areas are located in several production regions the amount to be paid shall be determined by the location of each area included in his application.
TITLE II Durum wheat
1. For the purposes of Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 producers must choose the marketing year to be used before a date to be set by the Member State. The latest date that may be set shall be the date for submission of applications for the compensatory payment for the 1993/94 marketing year.
2. Member States shall assign to each producer entitlement to the supplement for, at most, the number of hectares for which the aid has been paid or the area actually indicated by a check made in respect of the marketing year chosen.
On this basis the Member State shall draw up a register.
3. Transfer of entitlement to the supplement for durum wheat must be accompanied by transfer of entitlement to work the same number of hectares of eligible land.
4. The register referred to in paragraph 2 shall be amended when entitlements are transferred or eligible land is permanently withdrawn from agricultural use.
1. Applications for the supplement shall be conditional on an application for compensatory payment for the same number of hectares of durum wheat.
2. The supplement shall be paid at the same time as the compensatory payment.
3. The varieties excluded from the durum wheat production aid scheme for the 1992/93 marketing year shall also be excluded for the purposes of this Article for 1993/94.
TITLE III Special provisions
Where cereals are mixed with products listed under headings II and III of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 the compensatory payment shall be that set for cereals.
Member States treating maize separately in a region where maize is grown principally for silage are authorized to apply the yield for another feed cereal to all maize areas in that region.
0
The conversion rate to be used for all compensatory payments shall be that valid for cereals on 1 July of the marketing year.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3488/89 of 21 November 1989 laying down the method of decision for certain provisions laid down for agricultural products in the framework of Mediterranean agreements (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the agreements concluded with various Mediterranean third countries, the Community may decide that the entry prices for certain fruit and vegetables originating in such countries should vary, taking account of the annual reviews of trade flows by product and country pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February 1989 concerning the procedure to be applied to certain agricultural products originating in various Mediterranean third countries (2);
Whereas an examination of the outlook for export flows from Mediterranean third countries in the light of the overall trend on the Community market points to the need for the entry prices for oranges, clementines, mandarins and other similar citrus hybrids, lemons and tomatoes to vary;
Whereas the variation in the entry price must, for each product concerned, relate to the amount to be deducted as customs duties from the representative prices recorded in the Community for the calculation of the entry price referred to in Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3669/93 (4); whereas, depending on the product and origin, reductions, as appropriate, of two-thirds or five-sixths during trading periods will enable the desired objective to be attained; whereas such reductions must apply within the quantitative limits determined, in accordance with the Mediterranean agreements;
Whereas this variation in the entry prices is to apply in respect of specific quantities which must be entered in the accounts during the periods laid down in the agreements; whereas such entry in the accounts must take place through the statistical monitoring introduced for the administration of quotas;
Whereas the Commission must inform the Member States as soon as the quantities laid down in the Mediterranean agreements and quoted in this Regulation have been reached;
Whereas, as a result of the agriculture agreement concluded in the Uruguay Round negotiations, the variation in entry prices should not be applied until that agreement enters into force;
Whereas, however, the elements relating to the periods covered by entry in the accounts should be retained in the Annex to the extent that, pursuant to this egulation, their only purpose is to define the period of application of the variation in entry prices;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the purpose of calculating the entry prices referred to in Article 24 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 for products originating in the Mediterranean countries mentioned in the Annex hereto, the amount to be deducted as customs duties from the recorded representative prices shall be reduced by the percentage indicated in the Annex during the periods and subject to the maximum quantities specified therein.
1. Deductions shall be made from the specified quantities when products are presented to the customs authorities for release for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Goods may be deducted from the specified quantity only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which these preferential arrangements cease to apply.
The extent to which a specified quantity is used up shall be determined at Comunity level on the basis of the imports deducted from it as specified in the first and second subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 2, of imports effected in accordance with the rules set out above.
2. With respect to imports effected, Member States shall send the Commission statements of the deducted quantities every 10 days, to be forwarded within five days from the end of each 10-day period.
3. As soon as the quantities specified in the Annex have been reached, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date from which these preferential arrangements shall cease to apply.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely with a view to implementing this Regulation and in particular, where the need arises, to coordinating the system for administering the tariff quotas.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1993.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2008/119/EC
of 18 December 2008
laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves
(Codified version)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 91/629/EEC of 19 November 1991 laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) Most Member States have ratified the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes. The Community has also approved this Convention, by Council Decision 78/923/EEC (5).
(3) Calves, being live animals, are included in the list of products set out in Annex I to the Treaty.
(4) The keeping of calves is an integral part of agriculture. It constitutes a source of revenue for part of the agricultural population.
(5) Differences which may distort conditions of competition interfere with the smooth running of the organisation of the common market in calves and calf products.
(6) There is therefore a need to establish common minimum standards for the protection of rearing calves or calves for fattening in order to ensure rational development of production.
(7) It is recognised scientifically that calves should benefit from an environment corresponding to their needs as a herd-living species. For that reason, they should be reared in groups. Calves, both group-housed and individually penned, should have sufficient space for exercise, for contact with other cattle and for normal movements when standing up or lying down.
(8) It is necessary for official services, producers, consumers and others to be kept informed of developments in this field. The Commission should therefore, on the basis of an opinion from the European Food Safety Authority, pursue actively scientific research into the most efficient stock-farming system(s) from the point of view of the well-being of calves. Provision should accordingly be made for an interim period to enable the Commission to complete this task successfully.
(9) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6).
(10) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,
This Directive lays down the minimum standards for the protection of calves confined for rearing and fattening.
For the purposes of this Directive, the following definitions shall apply:
1. ‘calf’ means a bovine animal up to six months old;
2. ‘competent authority’ means the competent authority as defined in Article 2(6) of Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (7).
1. From 1 January 1998, the following provisions shall apply on all newly built or rebuilt holdings and on all those brought into use after that date:
(a) no calf shall be confined in an individual pen after the age of eight weeks, unless a veterinarian certifies that its health or behaviour requires it to be isolated in order to receive treatment. The width of any individual pen for a calf shall be at least equal to the height of the calf at the withers, measured in the standing position, and the length shall be at least equal to the body length of the calf, measured from the tip of the nose to the caudal edge of the tuber ischii (pin bone), multiplied by 1,1.
(b) for calves kept in groups, the unobstructed space allowance available to each calf shall be at least equal to 1,5 m2 for each calf of a live weight of less than 150 kilograms, at least equal to 1,7 m2 for each calf of a live weight of 150 kilograms or more but less than 220 kilograms, and at least equal to 1,8 m2 for each calf of a live weight of 220 kilograms or more.
However, the provisions of the first subparagraph shall not apply to:
(a) holdings with fewer than six calves;
(b) calves kept with their mothers for suckling.
2. From 31 December 2006, the provisions provided for in paragraph 1 shall apply to all holdings.
Member States shall ensure that the conditions for rearing calves comply with the general provisions laid down in Annex I.
The general provisions in Annex I may be amended in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(2) in order to take account of scientific progress.
By 1 January 2006, the Commission shall submit to the Council a report, drawn up on the basis of an opinion from the European Food Safety Authority, on the intensive farming system(s) which comply with the requirements of the well-being of calves from the pathological, zootechnical, physiological and behavioural point of view, as well as the socioeconomic implications of different systems, together with proposals relevant to the report’s conclusions.
1. Member States shall ensure that inspections are carried out under the responsibility of the competent authority in order to check that the provisions of this Directive are complied with.
These inspections, which may be carried out on the occasion of checks made for other purposes, shall each year cover a statistically representative sample of the different farming systems used in each Member State.
2. The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(2), draw up a code of rules to be applied in carrying out the inspections provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article.
3. Every two years, by the last working day in April and for the first time by 30 April 1996, Member States shall inform the Commission of the results of the inspections carried out during the previous two years in accordance with this Article, including the number of inspections carried out in relation to the number of holdings in their territory.
In order to be imported into the Community, animals coming from a third country must be accompanied by a certificate issued by the competent authority of that country, certifying that they have received treatment at least equivalent to that granted to animals of Community origin as provided for by this Directive.
Veterinary experts from the Commission may, where necessary for the uniform application of this Directive, carry out on-the-spot checks in cooperation with the competent authorities. The persons carrying out these checks shall implement the special personal hygiene measures necessary to exclude any risk of transmission of disease.
The Member State in the territory of which a check is being carried out shall give all necessary assistance to the experts in carrying out their duties. The Commission shall inform the competent authority of the Member State concerned of the results of the checks.
The competent authority of the Member State concerned shall take any measures which may prove necessary to take account of the results of the checks.
With regard to relations with third countries, the provisions of Chapter III of Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries (8) shall apply.
General rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(2) of this Directive.

1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health set up pursuant to Article 58 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (9).
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 84 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (STM) (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 2a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1258/86 (3), specifies the notion 'any party' in the case of applications for STM licences for cheese; whereas the number of applications is, however, still unusually high; whereas, therefore, on the one hand, only undertakings which are involved in the export or import of cheese should have access to the mechanism and, on the other hand, applicants for STM licences should be compelled to indicate the name of the holder and the latter should not be able to transfer rights deriving from the said licences; whereas, lastly and for the same reasons, the amount of the security for cheese should be increased;
Whereas, if the rights deriving from licences may no longer be transferred in the future, the 10 % limit in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 is no longer warranted;
Whereas, in order to facilitate trade, the category 'Edam' should be better defined;
Whereas, in order to satisfy the demand for certain quantities of cheeses, such as Cheddar, Chester and soft-ripened cheeses, a specific category should be instituted for these types of cheeses;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2a of the abovementioned Regulation, undertakings concerned must be entered in a commercial register of a Member State; whereas account should be taken of the fact that, in certain national laws recognized status as a trader may be acquired without any corresponding entry in a commercial register;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1 (a), '2,5 kg' is replaced by '3 litres';
(b) in the second subparagraph of paragraph 3, '6. Havarti, 7. Edam, Gouda' and '8. Other' is replaced by the following:
1.2 // '6. Havarti, fat content 60 % // 900 tonnes // 7. Edam in balls, Gouda // 4 600 tonnes // 8. Soft ripened cow's milk cheeses // 850 tonnes // 9. Cheddar, Chester // 120 tonnes // 10. Other // 2 260 tonnes';
(c) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
'4. Applications for STM licences for cheeses must state, for each quantity, the category and, where appropriate, the type of cheese in question.'

'Article 2a
In the case of cheese falling within heading No 04.04 of the Common Customs Tariff, only undertakings that have acquired recognized status as traders in the Member State in which they are established and that have been involved for at least 12 months in external trade in cheese may apply for an STM licence.'
3. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
'Article 3
1. The quantities covered by STM licence applications may not exceed quantities available nor be less than:
- 100 tonnes for products falling within heading No 04.01 other than in packings of a net capacity of 3 litres or less,
- 10 tonnes for products falling within heading No 04.01 in packings of a net capacity of 3 litres or less,
- 1 tonne for products falling within heading Nos 04.02, 04.03 and 04.04.
2. Where quantities covered by STM licence applications exceed the quantities available to the extent that they lead to an imbalance in traditional patterns of trade in milk products, the Commission may reject all the applications.
3. The term of validity of STM licences shall not extend beyond the end of the month following that in which the licence application was lodged.
4. By way of derogation from Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/86, rights deriving from STM licences shall not be transferable during their term of validity.'
4. In the fourth indent of Article 4, '15 ECU' is replaced by '25 ECU'.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 22 of Directive 97/78/EC, the necessary measures must be adoped as regards the import of certain products from third countries where any cause likely to constitute a serious danger for animal or human health appears or is spreading.
(2) A Community inspection to Peru has shown serious deficiencies with regard to hygiene in bivalve mollusc production areas, and has demonstrated that there are insufficient guarantees about the efficiency of the controls carried out by the competent authorities.
Nevertheless, the Community inspection team has identified that the controls on eviscerated Pectinidae harvested from certain aquaculture areas and on the adductor muscles of non-aquaculture Pectinidae completely separated from the viscera and gonads, are sufficient to assure the safety of these products. There is a risk for public health with regard to the imports of bivalve molluscs from or originating in Peru, and it is thus appropriate to suspend them with immediate effect, with the exception of the Pectinidae products, under certain conditions.
(3) Considering the seriousness of the shortcomings identified during the inspection, the provisions of this Decision must be also applied to the products which have been dispatched to the Community before the entry into force of this Decision and presented for importation into the Community after its entry into force.
Furthermore, Pectinidae harvested form certain aquaculture areas and eviscerated and, the adductor muscles of non-aquaculture Pectinidae completely separated from the viscera and gonads, dispatched to the Community before the entry into force of this Decision and presented for importation into the Community after its entry into force, should be checked in order to demonstrate the absence of marine biotoxins.
(4) This Decision will be reviewed in the light of the guarantees offered by the Peruvian authorities and on the basis of the results of a further Community inspection on the spot.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
This Decision shall apply to bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods coming from or originating in Peru.
1. Member States shall prohibit the introduction on their territory of products referred to in Article 1.
2. By derogation to the above prohibition, Member States shall accept the following products:
(a) Pectinidae harvested in the aquaculture areas of Pucusana (001) and Guaynuna (002), provided that they are eviscerated;
(b) adductor muscles of Pectinidae, provided that the viscera and the gonads have been completely removed.
1. The provisions of Article 2(1) shall apply to consignments dispatched to the Community prior to the entry into force of this Decision and which are presented at the Community border inspection post for importation after its entry into force.
2. Consignments of products referred to in Article 2(2), dispatched to the Community prior to the entry into force of this Decision and which are presented at the Community border inspection post for importation after its entry into force shall be checked in order to ensure that the products concerned do not present a hazard to human health. This test must be carried out, in particular, with a view to detecting the presence of ASP, DSP and PSP.
All expenditures incurred by the application of this Decision shall be charged to the consignor, the consignee or their agent.
Member States shall modify the measures they apply to trade to bring them into line with this Decision. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall be reviewed on the basis of the guarantees provided by the Peruvian competent authorities and on the basis of the results of a Community inspection on the spot.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1992 on the regionalization plan submitted by Portugal under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic)
(93/121/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas on 31 July 1992 Portugal submitted a regionalization plan to the Commission in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas, at the Commission's request, that plan has been revised by Portugal; whereas a new plan was forwarded to the Commission on 30 September;
Whereas an examination of the revised plan shows that the criteria adopted by Portugal result in the allocation of a specific yield to each holding on the basis of the soil found thereon in regions in the southern part of the country in accordance with a pre-established national classification of soils; whereas, in addition, that plan distinguishes between yields depending on the irrigation technique used; whereas as a consequence the plan does not result in the establishment of distinctive homogeneous production zones of a minimum size and a single yield for irrigated land in the regions in question; whereas it therefore does not meet the criteria laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas by taking into account the situation of the various holdings, the plan is likely to facilitate the adaptation of Portuguese agriculture to the situation arising from the reform of the common agricultural policy; whereas its application for the 1993/94 marketing year should therefore be permitted;
Whereas the other aspects of the plan do not at this stage call for special remarks;
Whereas the joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
1. By way of a transitional measure, for the 1993/94 marketing year Portugal may treat as a homogeneous production zone holdings in the southern regions of Portugal whose specific structural characteristics are defined on the basis of a pre-established national classification of soils as provided for in the plan notified to the Commission on 30 September 1992.
2. For the 1994/95 marketing year the Portuguese Republic shall submit before 30 April 1993 a plan revising the methods provided for in paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.
The Community shall not be liable financially where expenditure exceeds that arising from the application of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4) in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Protocol 3 to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part (1) (‘the Agreement’), concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation (‘Protocol 3’).
(2) The Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin (2) (‘the Convention’) lays down provisions on the origin of goods traded under relevant agreements concluded between the contracting parties. Montenegro and other participants to the Stabilisation and Association Process from the Western Balkans were invited to join the system of pan-European diagonal cumulation of origin in the Thessaloniki agenda, endorsed by the European Council of June 2003. They were invited to join the Convention by a decision of the Euro-Mediterranean Ministerial Conference of October 2007.
(3) The Union and Montenegro signed the Convention on 15 June 2011.
(4) The Union and Montenegro deposited their instruments of acceptance with the depositary of the Convention on 26 March 2012 and 2 July 2012, respectively. As a consequence, in application of Article 10(3) of the Convention, the Convention entered into force in relation to the Union and Montenegro on 1 May 2012 and on 1 September 2012, respectively.
(5) Article 6 of the Convention provides that each contracting party is to take appropriate measures to ensure that the Convention is effectively applied. To that effect, the Stabilisation and Association Council established by the Agreement should adopt a decision replacing Protocol 3 by a new protocol which, with regard to the rules of origin, refers to the Convention.
(6) The position of the Union within the Stabilisation and Association Council should therefore be based on the attached draft decision,
The position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union within the Stabilisation and Association Council established by the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part, as regards the replacement of Protocol 3 to that Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation, by a new protocol which, as regards the rules of origin, refers to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin, shall be based on the draft decision of the Stabilisation and Association Council attached to this Decision.
Minor changes to the draft decision of the Stabilisation and Association Council may be agreed to by the representatives of the Union in the Stabilisation and Association Council without further decision of the Council.
The decision of the Stabilisation and Association Council shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption. | 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 Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 implements the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure (PIC procedure) for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and pesticides in International Trade, signed on 11 September 1998 and approved by the Community by Council Decision 2003/106/EC(2).
(2) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 consists of three parts containing, respectively, the list of chemicals subject to the export notification procedure, the list of chemicals qualifying for PIC notification and the list of chemicals subject to the PIC procedure in accordance with the Rotterdam Convention.
(3) In the light of Commission Decisions 2004/141/EC(3), 2004/248/EC(4), 2004/140/EC(5) and 2004/247/EC(6), taken within the framework of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(7), which ban or severely restrict the chemicals amitraz, atrazine, fenthion and simazine respectively, these chemicals should be added to the lists of chemicals contained in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003.
(4) The chemicals nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylate are severely restricted for industrial use by Directive 2003/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2003 relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations(8). Furthermore, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2002 of 20 November 2002 extending the time period referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to that Directive and the withdrawal of authorisation for plant protection products containing these substances(9), nonylphenol ethoxylate has been excluded from Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and authorisations for plant protection products containing it were to be withdrawn by 25 July 2003. Accordingly, both chemicals should be added to the list of chemicals contained in Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003.
(5) At its 10th session from 17 to 21 November 2003, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) for the Convention decided that the chemicals DNOC and the asbestos fibres amosite, antophyllite, actinolite and tremolite should also be subject to the interim PIC procedure. Accordingly, these substances should be added to the list of chemicals contained in Part 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 and the existing entries in Parts 1 and 2 should be amended.
(6) At the same session, the INC decided that the dustable powder formulations containing a combination of benomyl at or above 7 per cent, carbofuran at or above 10 per cent and thiram at or above 15 per cent should also become subject to the interim PIC procedure. Accordingly such formulations should also be added to the list of chemicals contained in Parts 1 and 3 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003.
(7) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up pursuant to Article 29 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC(10),
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 304/2003 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

| Commission Decision
of 18 March 2004
suspending the anti-dumping duty imposed by Decision No 2730/2000/ECSC on imports of coke of coal in pieces with a diameter of more than 80 mm originating in the People's Republic of China
(2004/264/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1)(the basic Regulation), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1972/2002(2), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) The Commission, by Decision No 2730/2000/ECSC(3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of coke of coal in pieces with a diameter of more than 80 mm originating in the People's Republic of China (PRC), falling under CN code ex 2704 00 19 (the product concerned). The amount of the anti-dumping duty is equal to the fixed amount of EUR 32.6 per tonne of dry net weight.
(2) In view of the expiry of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community on 23 July 2002, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 963/2002(4), Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/2002(5), decided that anti-dumping proceedings initiated pursuant to Commission Decision No 2277/96/ECSC(6), Decision as last amended by Decision No 435/2001/ECSC(7), and still in force shall be continued and be governed by the provisions of the basic Regulation with effect from 24 July 2002. Likewise, any anti-dumping measures resulting from pending anti-dumping investigations shall be governed by the provisions of the basic Regulation from 24 July 2002.
(3) In December 2002, the Commission initiated an interim review at the request of Eucoke-EEIG (the applicant), lodged on behalf of producers representing a major proportion of the total Community production of coke of coal in pieces with a diameter of more than 80 mm, in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.
(4) After the applicant had withdrawn the complaint, the Commission has proposed to the Council that the interim review should be terminated.
(5) However, during the investigation of the interim review concerning the period from 1 October 2001 to 30 September 2002 (the investigation period), information on a change of market conditions occurred after the investigation period (i.e. from 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2003) which might justify the suspension of the measures currently in force, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, was provided to the Commission. Consequently, the Commission examined whether such suspension was warranted.
B. GROUNDS
(6) Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation provides that, in the Community interest, anti-dumping measures may be suspended on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such suspension, provided that the Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and these comments have been taken into account. Article 14(4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable.
(7) During the interim review investigation, a number of interested parties have alleged that in the time since the investigation period, the market situation has changed dramatically. The allegations were based on a shortage of supply of the product concerned and the high level of prices charged by the traders on the Community market.
(8) In view of the seriousness of these allegations, the Commission has carried out a further investigation to assess the recent evolution of volumes and prices of the product concerned for the period between 1 October 2002 and 30 September 2003. All parties concerned were given an opportunity to present their views. All interested parties cooperated with the new investigation, the users to a somewhat lesser extent.
(9) With regard to the information provided by a cooperating importer and confirmed by the users, an increase ranging from 20 % to 50 % in the price of the product concerned imported from the PRC has been reported for the period examined. This price trend was also confirmed by the Community industry. The steel industry, which is not an interested party in this proceeding, also reported an increase of 76 % in prices of all types of coke.
(10) Considering that the Community users do not buy the product concerned directly from the PRC but from traders which do not make an accurate distinction according to the origin of the product, the information on the volume of the product concerned was based on the findings of a specialised magazine called The Coke Market Report, recognised as a reliable source of information for the coke market. This publication reported a decrease of imports from PRC from 15,5 million tonnes for all types of coke in 2002 to 12 million tonnes in 2003, i.e. a decrease of 23 %. This decrease is mainly the result of a recent change in the policy of the Chinese authorities which have decided to direct the Chinese production to the domestic market in order to meet an increasing domestic demand, by reducing the number of export licences granted to the Chinese exporters. A further decrease in imports from PRC of 6,5 million tonnes is expected for the year 2004, although this information has not yet been confirmed as the Chinese authorities have still to issue the licenses. In view of the decreasing number of export licenses issued by the Chinese authorities, a further increase of 19 % in the price of the product concerned is expected in 2004. Since the significant change in supplies of the product concerned is the result of a change in the policy applied by the Chinese authorities, there is no information which would allow the Commission to assume that these changes are of a lasting nature.
(11) With regard to the Community industry, it is to be noted that since the imposition of the measures in 2000, the situation of the Community industry has improved. The sales and production volumes decreased slightly as did the Community consumption, but sales prices increased significantly. Investments increased by a third and employment by 10 %. Only the market share remained stable (33 %) but this was due to the emergence of new exporting countries such as the Czech Republic and Poland, while the Chinese market share decreased by more than 10 percentage points and represented 9 % of the Community market in the investigation period. The profit situation also improved, although it has not yet achieved the 10,5 % profit targeted by Decision No 2730/2000/ECSC. The Community industry has, however, gained 17 percentage points since the year 2000 and became profitable during the investigation period. Furthermore, as to the situation after the investigation period (i.e. from 1 October 2002 to 30 September 2003), it is worth noting that, although the Community producers have reported an increase in production and sales on the Community market of 20 % and 40 % respectively, bearing in mind that the Community producers only produce one third of the Community market demand for the product concerned, the imports from the PRC remain vital to supply the Community market.
C. CONCLUSION
(12) In conclusion, given the temporary change in market conditions, and in particular the high level of prices of the product concerned practised on the Community market, which is far above the injurious level found in the original investigation, together with the alleged shortage of supply of the product concerned, it is considered that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC is unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension which would be in the interest of the Community. It is therefore proposed to suspend the measures in force for a period of nine months in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation.
(13) Pursuant to Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has informed the Community industry of its intention to suspend the anti-dumping measures in force. The Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment. The Community industry did not oppose the suspension of the anti-dumping measures in force.
(14) The Commission therefore considers that all requirements for suspending the anti-dumping duty imposed on the product concerned are met, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Decision No 2730/2000/ECSC should be suspended for a period of nine months.
(15) The Commission will continue to monitor the development of imports and the prices of the product concerned. Should a situation arise at any time in which increased volumes at dumped prices of the product concerned from the PRC resume and consequently cause injury to the Community industry, the Commission will reinstate the anti-dumping duty by repealing the present suspension,
The definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Decision No 2730/2000/ECSC on imports of coke of coal in pieces larger than 80 mm in maximum diameter, falling within CN code ex 2704 00 19 (TARIC code 2704 00 19 10 ), and originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby suspended for a period of nine months.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 3 (3) and Article 7 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 of 25 August 1970 on the procedure for granting the premium for leaf tobacco (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 408/76 (4), instituted a system of administrative supervision of the processing of tobacco in respect of which a premium has been applied for ; whereas the purpose of such supervision is to assess whether a given quantity of baled tobacco corresponds to the quantity of leaf tobacco from which it was obtained, having regard to the weight losses which occur during first processing and market preparation and which are considered to be normal;
Whereas losses result mainly from a decrease in moisture content and from losses of matter which take place during first processing and market preparation ; whereas those weight losses differ according to variety, and in particular according to the methods of drying and preparing the leaves;
Whereas these losses must also be assessed for the purpose of supervision of leaf tobacco which has been bought in by intervention agencies and which has undergone first processing and marketing preparation under contracts, the detailed rules whereof are laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2603/71 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 773/75 (6);
Whereas these weight losses must be assessed on the basis of the net weight of leaf tobacco and of baled tobacco as defined in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 and in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70 of 25 August 1970 on intervention procedure for raw tobacco (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 408/76;
Whereas, to ensure the uniform application of the provisions relating to first processing and market preparation, a maximum permissible weight loss during such operations should be fixed for each variety of Community tobacco;
Whereas, in view of the additional losses caused by stripping, this maximum loss should be increased by a suitable amount for tobacco which has been stripped;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Raw Tobacco,
1. When checking whether the quantities of tobacco released from the supervision provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 correspond with the quantities which came under supervision the maximum permissible weight losses expressed as percentages of the net weight of leaf tobacco which came under supervision, shall be those shown in column 3 of the Annex hereto.
2. Weight losses shall be determined by reference to the net weight of leaf tobacco and baled tobacco as defined in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 and in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1727/70.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/502/EC (2) requires Member States to take measures to ensure that only lighters which are child-resistant are placed on the market and to prohibit the placing on the market of novelty lighters.
(2) Decision 2006/502/EC applies only for 12 months from the date of notification. The Decision may however be confirmed for additional periods in accordance with Article 13(2) of Directive 2001/95/EC.
(3) In the light of the experience acquired so far and the absence of a permanent Community act on the safety of lighters, it is necessary to confirm the validity of the Decision for a further 12 months.
(4) Decision 2006/502/EC bans the placing on the market of non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters as of 11 March 2007. After that date, however, non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters may still be supplied to consumers until stocks are exhausted. Since non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters pose a serious risk, the supply of such lighters to consumers should be prohibited.
(5) The shortest possible transitional periods should be allowed for the application of the measures established by this Decision, consistent with the need to prevent further accidents while taking into account technical constraints and ensuring proportionality. Transitional periods are also required for the Member States to ensure that the measures are efficiently applied. Consequently, the ban on supplying non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters to consumers should apply one year after the date of application of the ban on placing such products on the market.
(6) It is therefore necessary to amend Decision 2006/502/EC accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Directive 2001/95/EC,
Decision 2006/502/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 2 the following paragraphs 3 and 4 are added:
2. In Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision by 11 May 2007 at the latest and shall publish those measures. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

(1) Article 13 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence; whereas, in this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 602/2001(4), allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the products listed in Article 1(1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92; that corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the corrective amount according to destination.
(4) The corrective amount must be fixed at the same time as the refund and according to the same procedure; it may be altered in the period between fixings.
(5) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 1(1) (a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance except for malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 which provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Swedish Government submitted to the Commission on 25 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for certain parts of Örebro, Värmland and Västra Götaland Counties fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF).
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Articles 7(7) and 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 December 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the Västra region, covering certain parts of Örebro, Värmland and Västra Götaland Counties fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b in Sweden, for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State, their specific quantified targets, the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Sweden.
The priorities are as follows:
1. Development of industry and business climate
2. Knowledge and skills
3. Technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying, for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5b and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) ex ante verification and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the single programming document.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 272476471 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 124500000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 147976471 from the public sector and EUR 158263969 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 124500000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30000000, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 2211/2002
of 12 December 2002
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1472/2002(4), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(6), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(8), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 December 2002.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 17 December 2012
on a third Union financial contribution pursuant to Council Directive 2000/29/EC for 2006 and 2007 to cover expenditure incurred by Portugal for the purpose of combating Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (pinewood nematode)
(notified under document C(2012) 9356)

(2012/796/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 23(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/923/EC (2) approved a financial contribution from the Union for a programme of measures introduced by Portugal aiming in 2006 and 2007 at controlling the spread of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (pinewood nematode) to other Member States. The measures included the creation of a barrier free from all host trees of the pinewood nematode vector, hereinafter the ‘clear cut belt’.
(2) The financial contribution granted by Decision 2006/923/EC was based on the programme for further actions for pinewood nematode (hereinafter: PWN) and the budget estimation referring to this programme as submitted by Portugal to the Commission on 28 July 2006.
(3) The final payments to Portugal connected to the actions laid down in Decision 2006/923/EC occurred in June 2008.
(4) By Commission Implementing Decision 2011/851/EU (3), an additional Union co-financing of EUR 3 986 138,36 was granted to Portugal to cover eligible expenditure in excess to the initial estimate of July 2006.
(5) At the time of that additional Union co-financing, the claim submitted by Portugal did not include all the bills related to the creation of the clear cut belt.
(6) By letter of 5 December 2011, the Portuguese authorities introduced a revised claim of EUR 15 000 932,08. That claim included EUR 4 915 405,87 that had not been paid at the time of the previous audit of July 2010 (audit SANCO/10/2010) and could not be declared eligible for co-financing at that time. The rest of that new claim is composed of costs for felling an increased number of large coniferous trees and of a separate expenditure for the elimination of small coniferous trees.
(7) In March 2012, the Commission carried out an audit on the information communicated by Portugal on 5 December 2011. After examination of all supporting documents for the additional claim, and based on the report of that audit, the Commission concluded that an eligible amount of only EUR 5 044 839,72 of paid invoices (including coordination costs) could be taken into consideration. The rest of the claimed expenditure has not been found eligible for co-financing because it concerns expenditure already co-financed by Implementing Decision 2011/851/EU (EUR 2 024 128,16) and expenditure of EUR 7 931 964,20 related to small trees, the necessity of which has not been sufficiently justified by Portugal.
(8) As the measures included in that additional claim are of the same nature, and target the same purpose as the measures of Decision 2006/923/EC, it is appropriate to allocate the same Union financial contribution rate as in that decision, namely a rate of 75 %.
(9) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), plant-health measures are financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For the purpose of financial control of these measures, Articles 9, 36 and 37 of the above Regulation should apply.
(10) In accordance with Article 75 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (5) and Article 90(1) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (6), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated, setting out the essential elements of the action involving the expenditure.
(11) The present decision constitutes a financing decision for the expenditure provided in the co-financing request presented by Portugal.
(12) The measures provided in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Principle
The allocation of a third Union financial contribution to cover expenditure incurred by Portugal in 2006 and 2007 relating to the creation of a clear cut belt and taken for the purpose of combating pinewood nematode, is hereby approved.
Amount of Union financial contribution
The maximum Union financial contribution referred to in Article 1 is EUR 3 783 629,79.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) or in the overseas countries and (OCT) territories (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2484/94 (2), in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1084/94 (4), and in particular Article 15 (6) (b) (i) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products; whereas, however, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries;
Whereas the applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 May 1995, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Article 15 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80, do not exceed, in respect of products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia the quantities available from these States; whereas it is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities requested;
Whereas the quantities, in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 June 1995, should be fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52 100 tonnes;
Whereas it seems expedient to recall that this Decision is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (5), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
The following Member States shall issue on 21 May 1995 import licences concerning beef and veal products, expressed in terms of boned meat, originating from certain African, Caribbean and Pacific States, in respect of the quantities and the countries of origin stated:
Germany:
- 800,000 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 372,500 tonnes originating in Madagascar,

United Kingdom:
- 1 350,000 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 2 000,000 tonnes originating in Zimbabwe,
- 650,000 tonnes originating in Namibia.
Applications for licences may be submitted, in accordance with Article 15 (6) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 during the first 10 days of June 1995 in respect of the following quantities of boned beef and veal:
- Botswana: 14 182,936 tonnes,

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported into Spain from third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2093/2005 (2).
(2) Pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 (3) the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, may decide to fix maximum reduction in the import duty.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission decided on 16 May 2000 to reform the management of external aid programmes as part of the global reform of the Commission.
(2) The said Decision highlighted the lack of human resources at the disposal of the Commission to implement external aid.
(3) The elements of reform linked to human resources include reorganising the management of the project cycle and a major devolution of decision-making closer to the field and of activities to external Delegations. The objective is to improve the efficiency of aid management and the quality of operations, as well as to accelerate the programming, identification and implementation of programmes and projects.
(4) In this context it is necessary to strengthen both the human resources as well as the physical infrastructure of the Commission's external delegations.
(5) In this process the costs for these personnel will be borne by using a proportion of Part BA lines of expenditure in the budget relating to the programmes outside the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regions.
(6) During the period 2001-2002, thirteen of the Commission's ACP Delegations should be devolved.
(7) The new Internal Agreement on the financing and administration of Community Aid under the Financial Protocol to the Partnership Agreement between the ACP States and the European Community and its Member States, signed on 14 September 2000, hereinafter referred to as "the 9th EDF Internal Agreement", and in particular Article 1(3) and Articles 4 and 9 thereof, identifies financial resources likely to reinforce the administrative capacities of the Commission's Delegations for the implementation of the operations financed from the 9th EDF.
(8) Pending the entry into force of the 9th EDF, financial resources should be made available from interest accrued to the funds deposited by the EDFs and now held in the general treasury of the EDF, in accordance with the provisions of the 6th, 7th and 8th EDF Internal Agreements,
An amount of EUR 23000000 shall be reserved from interest accumulated on deposited European Development Fund (EDF) funds and held in the general treasury of the EDF, for the financing of costs linked to the implementation of the devolution exercise in ACP States, as specified in Article 2.
The resources referred to in Article 1 shall be used to finance the following types of expenditure:
(a) support expenses in relation to identification, preparation, management, follow-up, accounting, audit and control of the Commission's aid operations in ACP States, in particular costs linked to the recruitment and stationing in Delegations of experts and local agents that will assist in handling these "devolved" tasks and to the provision of technical support to the "devolution" of the Commission's computerised on-line accounting system (OLAS);
(b) administrative costs, provided these are directly linked to the efficient functioning of the experts and local agents recruited, including the purchase of equipment, the temporary renting of extra office space, related IT costs and others.

of 30 March 2004
concerning the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on intensifying and broadening the Agreement on customs cooperation and mutual assistance in customs matters to include cooperation on container security and related matters
(2004/634/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof, in conjunction with Article 300(2), first sentence thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on customs cooperation and mutual assistance in customs matters (1) (CMAA) provides for the possibility of its expansion with a view to increasing the levels of customs cooperation and supplementing them by means of agreements on specific sectors or matters.
(2) The Commission has negotiated on behalf of the Community an agreement with the United States of America intensifying and broadening the CMAA to include cooperation on container security and related matters (the Agreement).
(3) The Agreement expands the customs cooperation between the Community and the United States of America to cover container security and related matters. It envisages the prompt and successful expansion of the Container Security Initiative to all ports in the Community that meet relevant requirements. The Agreement also sets out a work programme for further implementation measures, including the development of standards for risk management techniques, information required to identify high-risk shipments imported into the Parties, and industry partnership programmes.
(4) The external coordination of customs control standards with the United States of America is necessary to ensure supply chain security while guaranteeing the continued flow of legitimate trade in containers. In particular, it is essential to ensure that all Community ports can participate in the Container Security Initiative on the basis of uniform principles and that comparable standards are promoted in United States (US) ports. Thus, the direct aim and content of the Agreement concerns the facilitation of legitimate trade between the Community and the United States of America while ensuring on a reciprocal basis a high level of security by allowing for cooperation in developing actions in specific control areas in respect of which the Community has competence.
(5) Member States should have the possibility to expand the Container Security Initiative to all Community ports through arrangements with the United States of America identifying Community ports that participate in the Container Security Initiative and providing for the stationing of US customs officials therein or to maintain any such existing declarations of principles to that end, provided these arrangements are in conformity with the Treaty and compatible with the CMAA as expanded by the Agreement.
(6) It is necessary to ensure close cooperation between the Member States and the Community institutions for the purpose of further intensification and broadening of the customs cooperation under the CMAA as expanded.
(7) To that end a consultation procedure should be established whereby Member States envisaging to negotiate arrangements with the United States of America on matters covered by the CMAA as expanded would immediately notify such intention and provide the relevant information. If so requested by a Member State or the Commission within short time limits the information should be the subject of consultations between the Member States and the Commission.
(8) The main purpose of the consultations should be to facilitate the exchange of information and to ensure that the arrangements are consistent with the Treaty and with common policies, in particular the common framework of cooperation with the United States of America set out in the CMAA as expanded.
(9) Where the Commission considers that an arrangement that a Member State wishes to implement with the United States of America is incompatible with the CMAA as expanded or that the subject matter should be addressed in the framework of the CMAA as expanded, it should inform the Member State accordingly.
(10) The consultation procedure should be without prejudice to the respective competencies of the Member States and the Community to conclude the arrangements envisaged.
(11) The Agreement should be approved,
The Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on intensifying and broadening the Agreement on customs cooperation and mutual assistance in customs matters to include cooperation on container security and related matters (the Agreement) is hereby approved on behalf of the European Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to sign the Agreement in order to bind the Community.
1. Member States may maintain or conclude arrangements with the United States of America in order to include Community ports in the Container Security Initiative. Any such arrangement shall make reference to the CMAA as expanded and comply with the latter, including minimum standards once they are adopted.
The Commission and the Member States concerned may consult each other in order to ensure that such arrangements comply with the CMAA as expanded.
2. Before a Member State commences negotiations on arrangements with the United States of America relating to matters other than those referred to in paragraph 1 but covered by the CMAA as expanded, it shall notify the Commission and the other Member States and provide any relevant information with the notification.
3. Member States or the Commission may request, within eight working days of the receipt of the notification, consultations with the other Member States and the Commission. Such consultations shall take place within three weeks of the receipt of the notification. Where the matter is urgent, consultations shall take place without delay.
4. The Commission shall, no later than five days after the conclusion of the consultations, give its written opinion on the compatibility of the arrangements notified with the CMAA as expanded, including, where appropriate, the need to address the matter in the framework of that Agreement.
5. The consultations shall take place within the Committee established by Article 247 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).
6. Member States shall transmit to the Commission and to the other Member States a copy of the arrangements referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, as well as any denunciation of, or amendments thereto. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Article 63(7) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(3) limits the grant of export refunds for wine-sector products to the volumes and expenditure contained in the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/5/EC
of 17 January 2006
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include warfarin as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1) and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes warfarin.
(2) For warfarin the effects on human health and the environment has been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. By Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (3), Ireland was designated as Rapporteur Member State. Ireland submitted the relevant assessment report and recommendations to the Commission on 8 May 1996 in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(3) The assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 23 September 2005 in the format of the Commission review report for warfarin.
(4) The report on warfarin and further information were also submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants. The Committee was asked to comment on the acceptability of using clinical data generated following repeated warfarin use as an anti-coagulant in human medicine for establishing an acceptable daily intake (ADI) and an acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL). In its opinion (4), the Scientific Committee concluded that it is not necessary to allocate an ADI for warfarin. Furthermore, data available from the extensive clinical use of warfarin as an anticoagulant may confidently be expected to support the establishment of an ADI, should this be considered necessary. An AOEL can likewise be established based on human data, taking into account that in rats about 15 % of the applied dose is absorbed through the skin.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made, that plant protection products containing warfarin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include warfarin in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisation of plant protection products containing warfarin can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(6) Warfarin is used as a rodenticide. All other active substances used as rodenticides are covered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1112/2002 of 20 June 2002 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (5). Furthermore, the substance is currently subject to evaluation in the framework of 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 (6). As with all substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the status of warfarin could be reviewed under Article 5(5) of that Directive in the light of any new data becoming available, in particular from the assessment of similar substances or from the assessment of warfarin itself under Directive 98/8/EC.
(7) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties, it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing warfarin to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 March 2007, at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 April 2007.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing warfarin as an active substance by 31 March 2007. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive, relating to warfarin, are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13.
2. By derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing warfarin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 September 2006 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning warfarin.

of 7 May 1990
applying supplementary generalized tariff preferences in respect of certain industrial products originating in countries benefiting from generalized preferences and sold at the Berlin 'Partners in Progress' Fair
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the imports fair 'Partners in Progress' is organized every year in Berlin with a view to improving the access to world markets of products originating in countries benefiting from generalized preferences;
Whereas, in view of the specific features of the Berlin Fair and of the unique situation of Berlin, certain measures should be taken in the field of generalized preferences;
Whereas, in accordance with the offer made in the context of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Community opened generalized preferences commencing in 1971 and most recently under Regulations (EEC) No 3896/89 (1) and (EEC) No 3897/89 (2) and in particular in respect of finished and semi-finished industrial and textile products originating in developing countries;
Whereas, in the past, certain products covered by the system of quotas, ceilings or other tariff measures, being the subject of contracts for sale in the course of the Berlin Fair, have not been able to benefit from the preferences, the allocated tariff quotas or fixed duty-free amounts having been used up or the collection of customs duties having been re-established for products subject to ceiling limits before the opening date of the fair; whereas it is important to provide additional latitude to countries benefiting from generalized preferences to enable them to benefit from the generalized tariff preference for products being the subject of contracts for sale at the fair; whereas, however, this latitude should be limited to 6 % of the levels of the tariff measures applicable for each product or group of products under the abovementioned annual Regulations, and should be opened;
Whereas, without prejudice to the specific provisions of this Regulation, the application of the provisions of the annual Regulations regarding generalized tariff preferences and, in particular, in respect of the beneficiary countries and the concept of originating products should be applied to the supplementary preferences in question;
Whereas it is appropriate, however, to exclude from the scope of this Regulation certain products originating in particular beneficiary countries;
Whereas declarations of release into free circulation submitted with a view to the importation of the products in question should be accompanied by the certificate of origin and the contract concluded at the Berlin Fair, the latter certified by the competent German authorities;
Whereas the German authorities must ensure that certification of the contracts concluded at the Berlin Fair do not exceed the authorized supplementary quantities;
Whereas the method of administration adopted requires close cooperation between Member States and the Commission,
Whereas the generalized preferences have been suspended for products originating in the Republic of Korea by Regulations (EEC) No 3896/89 and (EEC) No 3897/89,
1. From 29 August 1990 to 31 December 1991, supplementary Community tariff preferences shall be opened, subject to Article 4, for the importation of products:
- mentioned in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3896/89, or
- mentioned in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89,
provided these products originate in one of the countries or territories benefiting from the preferences referred to in the Annexes to those Regulations and have been exhibited by the exporting countries at the Berlin 'Partners in Progress' Fair and they have been the subject of sales contracts, except for products originating in the Republic of Korea, for which the preferences are suspended.
2. The supplementary preferences referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 6 % of the quota, ceiling or fixed duty-free amounts fixed for each product or group of products in Regulations (EEC) No 3896/89 and (EEC) No 3897/89.
3. Within the framework of the supplementary preferences referred to in paragraph 1, the Common Customs Tariff duties shall be totally suspended. Application of the tariff preferences shall be subject to submission of a certificate of origin, Form A, and the contract.
4. Within the limits of the supplementary preferences referred to in paragraph 1, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties conforming to the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession, and the relevant Regulations.
1. Declarations of the release into free circulation of the products in question must be accompanied by the certificate of origin and by the contract concluded at the Berlin Fair, the latter certified by the competent German authorities.
2. The German authorities shall ensure that the total amount covered by certified contracts does not exceed the limit fixed in Article 1 (2).
Those provisions of Regulations (EEC) No 3896/89 and (EEC) No 3897/89 relating to the application of generalized tariff preferences which concern beneficiary countries and the concept of originating products shall be applicable.
This following shall be excluded from the benefits afforded by this Regulation:
- textile products falling within categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 appearing in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 and originating in countries subject to the Community tariff quotas allocated as indicated in the said Annex,
- products appearing in the Annex to this Regulation and originating in the countries indicated.
The German authorities shall forward to the Commission, not more than seven days after the end of the Berlin Fair, a list of certified contracts indicating the nature and value or the quantity, whichever is appropriate, of the goods in question and the names and addresses of the exporters and importers. The Commission shall send a copy of this list to the authorities of the other Member States.
Member States shall forward to the Commission, within two weeks following the end of each quarter, the list of the amounts charged during the reference quarter in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/50/EC
of 11 August 2005
on the reclassification of hip, knee and shoulder joint replacements in the framework of Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices (1), and in particular Article 13(1)(b) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by France and the United Kingdom,
Whereas:
(1) On the basis of the classification rules set out in Annex IX to Directive 93/42/EEC, total joint replacements are class IIb medical devices.
(2) France and the United Kingdom requested the classification of total joint replacements as class III medical devices by way of derogation from the provisions of Annex IX to Directive 93/42/EEC, in order to ensure an appropriate conformity assessment of total joint replacements before their placing on the market.
(3) Conformity assessment is based on a number of elements such as a proper classification, the designation and monitoring of the notified bodies and the proper implementation of the conformity assessment modules as described in Directive 93/42/EEC.
(4) Reclassification by derogation to the classification rules set out in Annex IX to Directive 93/42/EEC is indicated where the shortcomings identified due to the specific characteristics of a product will be more properly addressed under the conformity assessment procedures corresponding to the new category.
(5) Hip, knee and shoulder replacements should be distinguished from other total joint replacements, due to the particular complexity of the joint function to be restored and the consequent increased risk of failure due to the device itself.
(6) In particular, hip and knee replacements are weight-bearing and extremely sophisticated implants, for which the risk of revision surgery is significantly greater than for other joints.
(7) Shoulder implants are a more recent technique, which are subject to similar dynamic forces; their possible replacement is in principle connected with serious medical problems.
(8) Furthermore, hip, knee and shoulder replacement surgery is increasingly taking place on young people with a high life expectancy; consequently, the need for such implants to function properly over the life expectancy of the patients and to reduce revision surgery and its risks has been increased.
(9) Specific clinical data, including long term performance data are not always available for hip, knee and shoulder replacements before they are placed on the market and put into service; consequently, conclusions on clinical data collected by the manufacturer in the framework of the evaluation of the conformity of these products with the requirements concerning their characteristics and performance referred to in Sections 1 and 3 of Annex I to Directive 93/42/EEC should be subject to particular attention and examination in order to verify the appropriateness of the clinical data available.
(10) Total joint replacements can be subject to multiple modifications following their introduction into clinical use and placing on the market, as shown by hip and knee replacements on the market. However, experience has shown that what appear at first sight to be minor post-marketing changes to the design of previously trouble-free replacements can lead to serious problems due to unintended consequences, which may lead to early failure and major safety concerns.
(11) In order to achieve the optimal level of safety and health protection and to reduce the design related problems to the lowest level, the design dossier of hip, knee and shoulder replacements, including the clinical data used by the manufacturer to support the claimed performance and the subsequent post-marketing design and manufacturing changes should be examined in detail by the notified body before these devices are introduced in general clinical use.
(12) Consequently, the notified body should, under the full quality assurance system, effectively carry out an examination of the design dossier and of the changes to the approved design in accordance with point 4 of Annex II to Directive 93/42/EEC.
(13) For these reasons, it is necessary to proceed to the reclassification of hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements as class III medical devices.
(14) It is necessary to provide for an adequate transitional period for hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements already assessed as class IIb medical devices under the full quality assurance system of Annex II to Directive 93/42/EEC, allowing for their complementary assessment under point 4 of Annex II to the Directive.
(15) Hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements already certified following the procedure relating to the EC type examination set out in Annex III to Directive 93/42/EEC, coupled with the procedure relating to the EC verification set out in Annex IV or the procedure relating to the EC declaration of conformity set out in Annex V to that Directive, are not affected by the present Directive as these certification schemes are the same for both class IIb and class III medical devices.
(16) It is necessary to provide for an adequate transitional period for hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements that have already been subject to the procedure relating to the EC type examination under Annex III to Directive 93/42/EEC coupled with the procedure relating to the EC declaration of conformity set out in Annex VI to that Directive, allowing for their assessment under Annex IV or Annex V to Directive 93/42/EEC.
(17) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Medical Devices set up by Article 6(2) of Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable medical devices (2),
By way of derogation from the rules set out in Annex IX to Directive 93/42/EEC, hip, knee and shoulder replacements shall be reclassified as medical devices falling within class III.
For the purpose of this Directive, a hip, knee or shoulder replacement means an implantable component part of a total joint replacement system which is intended to provide a function similar to that of either a natural hip joint, a natural knee joint or a natural shoulder joint. Ancillary components (screws, wedges, plates and instruments) are excluded from this definition.
1. Hip, knee and shoulder replacements that have been subject to a conformity assessment procedure pursuant to Article 11(3)(a) of Directive 93/42/EEC before 1 September 2007 shall be subject to a complementary conformity assessment under point 4 of Annex II to Directive 93/42/EEC leading to an EC design examination certificate before 1 September 2009. This provision does not preclude a manufacturer from submitting an application for conformity assessment based on Article 11(1)(b) of Directive 93/42/EEC.
2. Hip, knee and shoulder replacements that have been subject to a conformity assessment procedure pursuant to Article 11(3)(b)(iii) of Directive 93/42/EEC before 1 September 2007 may be subject to a conformity assessment as class III medical devices pursuant to Article 11(1)(b)(i) or (ii) before 1 September 2010. This provision does not preclude a manufacturer from submitting an application for conformity assessment based on Article 11(1)(a) of Directive 93/42/EEC.
3. Member States shall accept until 1 September 2009 the placing on the market and the putting into service of hip, knee and shoulder replacements covered by a Decision in accordance with Article 11(3)(a) of Directive 93/42/EEC issued before 1 September 2007.
4. Member States shall accept until 1 September 2010 the placing on the market of hip, knee and shoulder replacements which are covered by a Decision in accordance with Articles 11(3)(b)(iii) of Directive 93/42/EEC issued before 1 September 2007 and permit such total joint replacements to be put into service beyond that date.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 March 2007. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference at the time of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such a reference is to be made.
Member States shall apply those provisions from 1 September 2007.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

,
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), and in particular Articles 3 and 9d(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The applications for authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.
(5) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 74 252) was provisionally authorised for the first time for turkeys for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 937/2001 (3). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in the Annex, should be authorised without a time-limit.
(6) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced from Penicillium funiculosum (IMI SD101) was provisionally authorised for the first time for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 418/2001 (4). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that enzyme preparation.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 53(1) and Article 62 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides a modern, risk-based system for the regulation and supervision of insurance and reinsurance undertakings of the Union. That system is essential in order to ensure a safe and solid insurance sector that can provide sustainable insurance products and support the real economy by encouraging long-term investments and additional stability.
(2) Directive 2011/89/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) makes certain amendments to Articles 212 to 262 of Directive 2009/138/EC, which are to be applicable from 10 June 2013.
(3) Directive 2012/23/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) amends Directive 2009/138/EC by postponing the date for transposition from 31 October 2012 to 30 June 2013, the date of application from 1 November 2012 to 1 January 2014 and the date of repeal of the existing insurance and reinsurance Directives (5) (collectively referred to as ‘Solvency I’) from 1 November 2012 to 1 January 2014.
(4) On 19 January 2011, the Commission adopted a proposal (the ‘Omnibus II proposal’) to amend, inter alia, Directive 2009/138/EC in order to take into account the new supervisory architecture for insurance, namely the setting-up of the European Supervisory Authority (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority) (EIOPA). The Omnibus II proposal also includes provisions to postpone the date for transposition and the date of application of Directive 2009/138/EC, and the date of repeal of Solvency I, and serves as a means to adapt Directive 2009/138/EC to the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union by converting the provisions empowering the Commission to adopt implementing measures into provisions empowering the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts.
(5) Given the complexity of the Omnibus II proposal, there is a risk that it will not have entered into force before the date for transposition and the date of application of Directive 2009/138/EC. Leaving those dates unchanged would result in Directive 2009/138/EC being implemented before the entry into force of the transitional rules and of relevant adaptations, including further clarification of delegated and implementing act empowerments, provided for by the Omnibus II proposal.
(6) In order to avoid overly burdensome legislative obligations for Member States under Directive 2009/138/EC and later under the new supervisory architecture envisaged by the Omnibus II proposal, it is therefore appropriate to postpone the date for transposition and the date of application of Directive 2009/138/EC, allowing supervisors and insurance and reinsurance undertakings sufficient time to prepare for the application of that new architecture.
(7) It is evident from the chronological order of events that the postponed date for transposition and date of application of Directive 2009/138/EC should also apply to the amendments thereto which were made by Directive 2011/89/EC.
(8) For reasons of legal certainty, the date of repeal of Solvency I should be postponed accordingly.
(9) Given the very short period of time before the relevant dates laid down in Directive 2009/138/EC, this Directive should enter into force without delay.
(10) Consequently, it is justified to apply the exception for urgent cases provided for in Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the role of national parliaments in the European Union in this case as regards the transmission to national parliaments of the proposal for this Directive,
Directive 2009/138/EC is amended as follows:
