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

fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 33(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.
(3) The second subparagraph of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3), and of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).
(5) Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 of 20 July 1982 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5), the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 838/2007 (6) should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 shall be granted on the products and for the amount set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 must meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and 853/2004, notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by 7 EUR/100 kg.
Regulation (EC) No 838/2007 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 October 2007.

Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (3), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Commission adopted, on 30 July 1997, Decision 97/534/EC on the prohibition of the use of material presenting risks as regards transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (4); whereas that Decision applies from 1 April 1998;
Whereas the Standing Veterinary Committee has not given a favourable opinion on the initial proposal for measures from the Commission; whereas the Commission has consequently proposed measures for the Council to take in accordance with Article 17 of Directive 89/662/EEC, the Council being obliged to adopt measures within 15 days;
Whereas, however, in view of developments since the adoption of Decision 97/534/EC, a new detailed examination of the content of the measures laid down by that Decision has proved necessary and therefore the date of its application should be postponed,
In Article 10 of Decision 97/534/EC, the date of '1 April 1998` shall be replaced by that of '1 January 1999`.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1273/88 of 29 April 1988 laying down criteria for delimiting the regions or areas which may be exempted from the schemes for the set-aside of arable land, extensification and conversion of production (3),
Whereas Italy has submitted an application to be exempted from the scheme for the set-aside of arable land in respect of the autonomus province of Trento; whereas this area accounts for 0,05 % of the arable land in Italy;
Whereas in view of the high risk of depopulation the area in question meets the criteria laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1273/88;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
Italy is authorized under Article 32a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 not to apply in the autonomous province of Trento the scheme for the set-aside of arable land provided in Title 01 of the said Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2634/97 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 260/98 (4), provides that export licences must be issued for all products exported from 2 January 1998;
Whereas Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1404/97 (6), provides that no export licence is required for products where no refund is applied for and in quantities such that the security for any licence would have been ECU 5 or less;
Whereas, in the case of beef and veal, that limit of ECU 5 corresponds to one head of livestock or 200 kilograms of meat; whereas that limit has proved much too low, in particular for certain traditional transborder trade flows; whereas a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 should accordingly be provided for to increase that amount to ECU 60;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
The following paragraph is hereby added to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95:
'However, notwithstanding the fourth indent of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, no export licence shall be required for products covered by the second indent of Article 8(2) in quantities such that the security for any licence would have been ECU 60 or less. If the licence is issued per head and if the amount of ECU 60 does not correspond to a whole number of head, the security shall be deemed to correspond to that for the next higher whole number of head.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 of June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 331/2000(2), and in particular Article 13, second indent thereof,
Whereas:
(1) There is a need to extend in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 the possible use of micro-organisms for compost activation to cover also the use of such organisms for improving the overall condition of the soil and the availability of nutrients in the soil or crops. It is also necessary to exclude any genetically modified micro-organisms for such uses, and to bring the provisions concerning the use of livestock manure in line with the provisions related thereto in part B, section 7 of this Annex.
(2) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, certain Member States have submitted information in view of the inclusion of certain products in Annex II or in view of amending certain provisions in this Annex.
(3) The amendments of Annex II concern products which were in common use before the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 according to the codes of practice on organic farming followed in the Community and, therefore, are in accordance with the provisions of Article 7(1a) of that Regulation. The amendments for certain of these products are urgent in the light of the upcoming agricultural season.
(4) It appeared that "glycerol", "silicon dioxide" and "isopropanol" are essential for the preparation of certain foodstuffs. These products can therefore be included in Annex VI taking into account the requirements of Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 207/93(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 345/97(4), defining the content of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.
(5) It is necessary to clarify in the "General principles" of Annex VI that the practice of smoking is accepted in the preparation of foodstuffs from organic production.
(6) It is necessary to bring the provisions in Annex VI, with regard to genetically modified organisms and products derived from such organisms, in line with the overall prohibition accepted in the context of Council Regulation (EC) No 1804/1999(5).
(7) It is appropriate to introduce for certain products minor technical or editorial amendments. It is also necessary to introduce certain editorial amendments to take into account amendments of Regulation (EC) No 1804/1999.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Annexes I, II and VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply forthwith. However, the provisions of Annex I, part headed "A. PLANT AND PLANT PRODUCTS", points 2.1 and 2.2, to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, shall apply from 24 August 2000.
The product "animal charcoal" listed in Annex II, part A, of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be used under the previously applicable conditions until existing stocks are exhausted but not later than 30 September 2000.
The product "calcium carbonates" listed in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, under more restrictive conditions than those before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be used under the previously applicable conditions until existing stocks are exhausted but not later than 30 September 2000.

on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the September 2011 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX to that Regulation.
(2) September is the fourth subperiod for the quotas laid down in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98, the third subperiod for the quotas laid down in Article 1(1)(d) and the first subperiod for the quota laid down in Article 1(1)(e).
(3) The notifications presented under Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 show that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4112 – 09.4168, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of September 2011 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quotas in question.
(4) It is also clear from the notifications that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 – 09.4129 – 09.4130 – 09.4116 – 09.4117 – 09.4118, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of September 2011 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity less than that available.
(5) The quantities not used for the September subperiod of the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 – 09.4128 – 09.4129 – 09.4130 are transferred to the quota bearing the order number 09.4138 for the following subperiod under Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.
(6) The total quantities available for the following subperiod should therefore be fixed for the quotas with order numbers 09.4138 and 09.4168, in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.
(7) In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, the present Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,
1. For import licence applications for rice under the quotas with order numbers 09.4112 – 09.4168 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 lodged in the first ten working days of September 2011, licences shall be issued for the quantities requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The total quantities available under the quotas with order numbers 09.4138 and 09.4168 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 327/98 for the following subperiod are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

of 18 July 2006
amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on persistent organic pollutants
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 (1), and in particular Article 7(4)(a) and Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission conducted a study on the implementation of waste-related provisions of Regulation (EC) No 850/2004.
(2) The proposed concentration limits in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 are considered the most appropriate to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment in view of the destruction or irreversible transformation of the persistent organic pollutants.
(3) For toxaphene, a mixture of over 670 substances, no agreed and relevant analytical methodology to determine the total concentration is available. However, the above mentioned study did not identify any stocks consisting of, containing or contaminated with toxaphene in the European Union. In addition, the study demonstrated that, whenever any persistent organic pollutant pesticides were detected in wastes, their concentrations were usually high when compared with the proposed concentration limits. For the time being, the available analytical methodologies for the determination of toxaphene may be considered adequate for the purposes of this Regulation.
(4) The concentration limit for PCDF/PCDD is expressed in toxic equivalent concentration (‘TEQ’), using the 1998 World Health Organisation toxic equivalency factors (‘TEFs’). Available data on dioxin-like PCBs are not sufficient to include these compounds in the TEQ.
(5) Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) is the name of a technical mixture of various isomers. The effort to completely analyse them would be disproportionate. Only alpha-, beta- and gamma-HCH is of toxicological relevance. Therefore, the concentration limit exclusively refers to them. Most commercially available analytical standard mixtures for the analysis of this compound class only identify these isomers.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The Committee provided for in Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 has not delivered an opinion on the measures laid down in this Regulation, following its consultation, on 25 January 2006, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17(2) of that Regulation,
The Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 shall be replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Community has undertaken, within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community tariff quota at a rate of duty of 20 % for 2 250 tonnes of frozen buffalo meat falling within subheading 02.01 A II b) 4 bb) 33 of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas this quota should thereof be opened for 1986;
Whereas there should be a guarantee of equal and continuing access by all interested traders within the Community to the said quota and of uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota, to all imports of the product in question, in all the Member States, up to the limit of the volume of the quota; whereas it seems appropriate, to this end, to set up a system of use of the Community tariff quota, based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the nature of the product, where it is imported from and its origin;
Whereas the detailed rules to implement these provisions should be drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 856/84 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 (3) provides that private storage aid may be granted for certain long-keeping cheeses where there is a serious imbalance of the market which may be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas, in view of price trends and of the increase in stocks of Emmentaler and Gruyère cheeses, provision should be made for recourse to such storage during the coming months;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of this measure should essentially be the same as those laid down for a similar measure during previous milk years, and in particular 1983/84 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1402/83 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 14/84 (5);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of Emmentaler and Gruyère cheeses manufactured in the Community which satisfy the requirements of Articles 2 and 3 hereof.
1. The intervention agency may conclude storage contracts only if the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the batch of cheeses to which a contract relates must comprise at least five tonnes;
(b) the cheeses shall be indelibly marked with an indication (which may take the form of a number) of the undertaking in which they were manufactured and of the day and month of manufacture;
(c) the cheeses must have been manufactured at least 10 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage;
(d) the cheeses must have undergone quality tests which established that their classification after maturing could be expected to be:
- 'class A' in France,
- 'Markenkaese' or 'Klasse Fein' in Germany,
- '1st quality' in Denmark,
- 'Special Grade' in Ireland;
(e) the storer shall undertake:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is as indicated under paragraph 2,
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorization from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorize an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorization of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration,
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer.
- to keep stock records and to inform the intervention agency each week of the cheeses put into and withdrawn from storage during the previous week.
2. The maximum temperature in the storage premises shall be +6 °C for Emmentaler and +10 °C for Gruyère. In the case of Emmentaler which has already been matured, Member States may permit a maximum temperature of +10 °C.
3. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this date may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date when storage by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for such cheeses as are put into storage during the storing period. This period shall begin on 15 May 1984 and end on or before 30 September of the same year.
2. Stored cheese may be withdrawn from storage only during the period for withdrawal. This period shall begin on 1 October 1984 and end on 31 March of the following year.
1. The amount of the aid shall be 2,32 ECU per tonne per day.
Conversion into national currency shall be carried out using the rate applicable on the day of withdrawal from storage.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 90 days. The maximum aid payable shall not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days' storage under contract.
By way of derogation from the second indent of Article 2 (1) (e), when the period of 90 days specified in the first subparagraph has elapsed and the period for withdrawal referred to in Article 3 (2) has begun, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to two tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove the batch of cheese covered by the contract, shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
The periods, dates and time limits referred to in this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 (1). Nevertheless, Article 3 (4) of that Regulation shall not apply in respect of the determination of the periods referred to in this Regulation.
The intervention agency shall take the measures necessary to ensure that checks are kept on the batches which are the subject of contracts. It shall, in particular, see that the cheeses comprised in those batches are marked.
The Member States shall communicate to the Commission on or before the Tuesday of each week particulars as to the following:
(a) the quantities of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded during the preceding week;
(b) any quantities in respect of which the authorization referred to in the second indent of Article 2 (1) (e) has been given.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 15 May 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(4) to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d)(f)(g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 2003.

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 Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(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 2884/2000(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 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), 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(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(7), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; 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 measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
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.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 934/86 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (5) and 28 (5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas under Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 it may be decided to grant production refunds on sugar, unprocessed isoglucose and syrups covered by that Regulation which are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 states that provision may be made for all or part of the financial losses resulting from the granting of any production refunds to be borne by the beet growers and the manufacturers; whereas use should be made of this possibility for the sugar used by the chemical industry over and above the usual quantities;
Whereas a system of production refunds should be introduced which will enable the outlets for sugar to expand beyond the usual quantities; whereas, to this end, the products in question should henceforth be made available to the chemical industry at a lower price level;
Whereas sugar can be used as a basic product by the chemical industry in the same way as starch products; whereas a harmonious development should therefore be assured for the use of these basic products; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for the application of a system of production refunds taking account of the price of sugar, the value of maize needed for the manufacture of the chemical products in question, the production refunds granted for starch products under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1009/86 of 25 March 1986 laying down general rules applicable to production refunds for cereals and rice (3) and the trend in world sugar prices; whereas in view of the links between the system of production refunds in the sugar sector and in the cereals sector, it should be laid down for the purposes of the system provided for in this Regulation that the marketing year is to be that defined by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (4) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1006/86 (5);
Whereas arrangements similar to those laid down for white sugar used by the chemical industry should be laid down for unprocessed isoglucose;
Whereas raw sugar and syrups with a high degree of purity, calculated in accordance with Article 1 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3819/85 (7), should also qualify for the production refunds if used in the chemical industry; whereas the production refund on these basic products should therefore be that for white sugar, adjusted by reference to yield or sucrose content as appropriate; whereas, as far as isoglucose is concerned, production refunds should be granted subject to the same conditions as the export refunds on that product;
Whereas, to prevent abuses, provision should be made for the production refund to be granted only if other uses are excluded by means of controls; whereas, if such controls are to be possible, the production refund should be paid only to the processor and on application by the processor;
Whereas controls may, in certain cases, be rendered more effective if provision is also made for an approval procedure; whereas the Member State in the territory of which processing takes place should therefore be free to decide whether or not processors must obtain such approval;
Whereas, to keep pace with technological developments in this sector, provision should be made for changes to the original list of the chemical products in question to be made in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81;
Whereas this Regulation is intended to repalce Council Regulation (EEC) No 1400/78 of 20 June 1978 laying down general rules for the production refund on sugar used in the chemical industry (1); whereas the latter Regulation should therefore be repealed,
1. As from the 1986/87 marketing year, as defined in paragraph 3, a production refund shall be granted subject to the conditions laid down in this Regulation on the products referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) and (f) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 and to the sucrose syrups referred to in Article 1 (1) (d) of the said Regulation and falling within subheading 17.02 D ex II of the Common Customs Tariff having a purity of at least 85 % (hereinafter called 'basic products') which are used in the manufacture of the products of the chemical industry listed in the Annex hereto (hereinafter called 'chemical products').
2. The production refund on the product referred to in Article 1 (1) (f) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be granted only in respect of a product:
(a) which has been obtained by isomerization of glucose;
(b) which has a content by weight in the dry state of at least 41 % fructose;
and
(c) of which the total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, including the di- or trisaccharides content, does not excedd 8,5 %.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation 'marketing year' shall mean the marketing year defined in the first subparagraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75.
4. The production refund shall be fixed periodically.
1. The production refund shall be granted by the Member State in the territory of which processing of the basic products takes place.
2. The Member State may grant the refund only if customs control, or administrative inspection affording equivalent guarantees, ensures that the basic products are used for the purpose specified in the application referred to in Article 3.
1. The production refund shall be granted only to processors who guarantee that the control provided for in Article 2 (2) can be carried out at any time and who have submitted an application specifying the chemical product in the manufacture of which the basic product is to be used.
2. The Member State concerned may make entitlement to the refund subject to prior approval of the processors referred to in paragraph 1, in particular for the application of paragraph 1.
1. Without prejudice to paragraphs 2 to 5, the amount of the production refund per 100 kilograms of white sugar shall be fixed taking into account the world market price for white sugar plus a standard amount of 7 ECU per 100 kilograms of white sugar, the price of glucose and the price of Community sugar.
2. For the 1986/87 and 1987/88 marketing years the price of sugar shall be equal to the price of glucose.
3. As from the 1988/89 marketing year the price of sugar shall be adjusted taking into account any difference between the world market price for white sugar and the price of glucose.
The adjustment referred to in the first subparagraph shall be as follows:
(a) for the 1988/89 marketing year, 25 % of the difference recorded;
(b) for the 1989/90 marketing year, 50 % of the difference recorded except where, during the preceding marketing year, owing to unforeseen circumstances, the aid for sugar was such as to disrupt the starch sector. In that event, the adjustment shall not be raised to 50 % and the details of these arrangements shall be reviewed.
4. For the purpose of implementing paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) world market price for sugar: the price of Community sugar less the average of the export refunds for white sugar recorded during the reference period in question, after deduction of a standard amount of 7 ECU per 100 kilograms;
(b) price of glucose: twice the price of maize as recorded on the Community market less twice the production refunds, per 100 kilograms of maize, applicable to starch products used for the manufacture of the products referred to in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1009/86;
(c) price of Community sugar: the intervention price for white sugar plus the storage levy.
5. The detailed rules referred to in (b) of the second subparagraph of paragraph 3 shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
6. Before the end of the 1989/90 marketing year the Commission shall report to the Council on the operation of the present arrangements and make appropriate proposals concerning future arrangements.
The amount of the production refund granted per 100 kilograms of raw sugar shall be equal to one hundredth of the amount applicable on the use of white sugar, multiplied by the yield of the raw sugar used, which yield shall be determined in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 431/68 (1).
The amount of the production refund granted per 100 kilograms of the sucrose syrups referred to in Article 1 shall be equal to one hundredth of the amount applicable on the use of white sugar, multiplied by:
(a) the sucrose content of the syrup used, where the purity of the latter is not less than 98 %;
or
(b) the extractable sugar content of the syrup used, determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 1 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82, where the purity of the syrup is at least 85 % but less than 98 %.
The amount of the production refund granted per 100 kilograms of dry matter of the basic product referred to in Article 1 (1) (f) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be equal to the amount of the production refund applicable on the use of white sugar.
The Annex to this Regulation shall be amended, if necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
When the total loss referred to in Article 28 (1) (e) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 is being established, the losses resulting from the granting of the production refunds referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation shall be taken into account in respect of eligible quantities exceeding in total 60 000 tonnes of white-sugar equivalent.

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 1 April 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has 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 "MKS sensor head, model 315 BHS, with electronics unit, model 170 M-6B, model 170 M-34B, readout unit, model 170 M-25C, temperature controller, model 170 M-39 and temperature compensation unit, model 170 M-35", to be used for the analysis of absorption and permeation of gases and vapours by means of polymer films for the clarification of transport mechanisms and for the structural examination of polymer substances, should be considered as 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 9 July 1981 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 manometer with electronic units;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus ; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as "MKS sensor head, model 315 BHS, with electronics unit, model 170 M-6B, model 170 M-34B, readout unit, model 170 M-25C, temperature controller, model 170 M-39 and temperature compensation unit, model 170 M-35" which is the subject of an application by Germany of 1 April 1981 may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2005/928/EC (2) harmonises the 169,4-169,8125 MHz frequency band in the Community.
(2) The frequency plan contained in the Annex to Decision 2005/928/EC describes the channel raster which the different applications operating under the conditions set in this Decision should adhere to. Such a channel raster aims at enabling compatibility and facilitating coexistence of the applications allowed in these bands.
(3) The frequency plan imposes a channel raster of 12,5 kHz in the 169,4000-169,4750 MHz band and a channel raster of 50 kHz in the 169,4875-169,5875 MHz band.
(4) Following the adoption of Decision 2005/928/EC further investigations of the technical parameters defined in this Decision revealed that the channel raster arrangements in the bands 169,4000-169,4750 MHz and 169,4875-169,5875 MHz are considered unduly restrictive given the technological development. Allowing several channel raster options will increase the flexibility for the users to choose the optimal bandwidth up to 50 kHz in accordance with quality requirements of the specific applications.
(5) The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) has confirmed that increasing the channel raster options in these bands can and should be allowed.
(6) Decision 2005/928/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. By amending this Decision channels up to 50 kHz will be possible in the 169,4000-169,4750 MHz and 169,4875-169,5875 MHz bands.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
Decision 2005/928/EC is amended as follows:
1. In the 4th row of the frequency plan in the Annex the channel raster (in kHz) figure ‘12,5’ for channels 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b is replaced by ‘up to 50 kHz’.
2. In the 4th row of the frequency plan in the Annex the channel raster (in kHz) figure ‘50’ for channels 4b + 5 + 6a and 6b + 7 + 8a is replaced by ‘up to 50 kHz’.
Article 1 shall apply from 31 October 2008.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate, CAS number 6487-39-4. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation lanthanum carbonate octahydrate CAS number 6487-39-4 as a feed additive for dogs, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for cats by Commission Regulation (EC) No 163/2008 (2).
(5) New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate, CAS number 6487-39-4, for dogs. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 6 March 2012 that, under the proposed conditions of use, lanthanum carbonate octahydrate does not have an adverse effect on the target species (3). It further concluded that lanthanum carbonate octahydrate has the potential to reduce the phosphorus bioavailability in adult dogs. It could not, however, comment on the long-term effects. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of lanthanum carbonate octahydrate, CAS number 6487-39-4, shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. It is appropriate to provide for post-market monitoring as regards long-term adverse effects.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 856/84 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, when surpluses build up or threaten to build up, measures other than those provided for in Articles 6 to 11 of that Regulation may be taken to facilitate the disposal of milk;
Whereas a major feature of the present situation on the market in milk products is the substantial rise in the quantity of milk collected and consequently the marked increase in milk-product surpluses ; whereas, this being the situation, it should also be made possible for aid to be granted for concentrated skimmed milk intended for use as feed for animals other than calves;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the purpose of this aid scheme, namely that the greatest possible quantity of concentrated skimmed milk be used as animal feed, is attained, payment of the aid should be made conditional on observance of a maximum price when the concentrated skimmed milk is sold by the undertaking that has denatured it;
Whereas, given the purpose of the aid scheme, measures should be taken to ensure that the said product is not deflected from its intended use;
Whereas control requirements indicate that the aid should be paid to the undertaking that denatures the product and that payment should be made conditional on production of evidence that the product has been denatured;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 of Council Directive 78/631/EEC of 26 June 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (pesticides) (1), Member States shall bring into force on 1 January 1981 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with that Directive;
Whereas Article 11 (1) of the said Directive provides that the list of active substances with indications of their conventional LD50 and LC50 values (Annex III) and the revised list of active substances in Annex II thereto shall be drawn up in accordance with the "committee procedure" referred to in Article 21 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2), as last amended by Directive 79/831/EEC (3);
Whereas, when Annex II was being revised and Annex III drawn up, it was ascertained that the number of chemical substances to be considered was considerably greater than envisaged and the study of the various dangerous characteristics of these substances would take longer than had originally been assumed;
Whereas, although work progressed smoothly, it proved impossible to complete it before 1 January 1981;
Whereas, as long as there is no Annex III to Directive 78/631/EEC, the Member States are unable to adopt the measures required to bring into force the entirety of the Directive ; whereas, similarly, as long as the list of active substances contained in Annex II has not been brought up to date, it is not appropriate to require the Member States to adopt the necessary measures to comply with the Directive;
Whereas, therefore, the date on which Member States are required to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 78/631/EEC must be postponed,
Article 12 (1) of Directive 78/631/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:

Having regard to the Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on coordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89(1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000(2) of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999(3) on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period, and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period, a programme for agriculture and rural development was approved by Commission Decision C(2000) 3329 final on 27 November 2000 for the Republic of Lithuania.
(2) The Government of the Republic of Lithuania and the Commission, acting on behalf of the European Community, signed on 5 March 2001 the Multiannual Financing Agreement laying down the technical, legal and administrative framework for the execution of the Sapard programme.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 provides that the ex ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 may be waived on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance. Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 provides for detailed rules for the carrying out of the said analysis. The competent authority of the Republic of Lithuania has appointed the National Paying Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture for the implementation of measures: "Investments in agricultural holdings", "Improving the processing and marketing of agricultural and fisheries products", "Development and diversification of economic activities providing for multiple activities and alternative income", "Improvement of rural infrastructure" and "Vocational Training", as defined in the programme for agriculture and rural development that was approved by Commission Decision C(2000) 3329 final on 27 November 2000 for the Republic of Lithuania. The National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance has been appointed for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme.
(4) On 16 November 2001 the Lithuanian authorities provided the revised list of eligible expenditure in conformity with Article 4(1), Section B of the Multiannual Financing Agreement. The Commission did not raise objectives to this list.
(5) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission has analysed the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance and has established that, for the implementation of the aforementioned measures, the Republic of Lithuania complies with the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 and of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, and with the minimum conditions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999.
(6) In particular, the National Paying Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture has implemented the following key accreditation criteria satisfactorily: written procedures, segregation of duties, pre-project approval and prepayment checks, payment procedures, accounting procedures, computer security, internal audit, and, where appropriate, public procurement provisions.
(7) The National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance has implemented the following criteria satisfactorily for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for the Republic of Lithuania: audit trail, treasury management, receipt of funds, disbursement to the National Paying Agency, computer security and internal audit.
(8) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and to confer on the National Paying Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and on the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance in the Republic of Lithuania the management of aid on a decentralised basis.
(9) However, since the verifications carried out by the Commission are based on an operational but not operating system it is therefore appropriate to confer the management of the Sapard programme on the National Paying Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and on the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance on a provisional basis.
(10) Full conferral of management of the Sapard programme is only envisaged after further verifications, in order to ensure that the system operates satisfactorily, have been carried out and after any recommendations the Commission may issue, with regard to the conferral of management of aid on the National Paying Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and on the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance have been implemented,
The requirement of ex ante approval by the Commission of project selection and contracting by the Republic of Lithuania is hereby waived.
Management of the Sapard programme is conferred on a provisional basis to:
1. the National Paying Agency (Nacionalné mokéjimo agentura) under the Ministry of Agriculture, Gedimino pr. 19, LT-2025 Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania, for the implementation of measures: "Investments in agricultural holdings", "Improving the processing and marketing of agricultural and fisheries products", "Development and diversification of economic activities providing for multiple activities and alternative income", "Improvement of rural infrastructure" and "Vocational training" as defined in the programme for agricultural and rural development that was approved by Commission Decision C(2000)3329 final on 27 November 2000; and
2. the National Fund under the Ministry of Finance, J. Tumo-Vaizganto 8A/2, LT-2600 Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania, for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for the Republic of Lithuania. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 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 Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 10 (4) thereof,
Whereas according to the second subparagraph of Article 9 (1) of Directive 89/662/EEC and the second subparagraph of Article 10 (1) of Directive 90/425/EEC, the Member State of origin or dispatch is required to implement on its territory the appropriate measures to prevent all situations likely to constitute a serious hazard to animals or to human health;
Whereas the plan for the control and eradication of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United Kingdom presented to the Commission by the United Kingdom on 3 June 1996, as amended on 19 June 1996, was approved by Commission Decision 96/385/EC (4);
Whereas the United Kingdom, in the abovementioned plan, proposed that the actions of the selective culling programme should consist in essence of:
(a) identifying cases of BSE in cattle born in the period from 1 July 1989 to June 1993;
(b) tracing all other cattle born on the same farms as those cattle in the same period (birth cohort) and slaughtering those animals;
Whereas in some instances calves are separated from their dams and moved from the herd in which they were born (natal herd) to rearing premises before they receive solid feed; whereas the most likely source of infection is contaminated feed; whereas, therefore, those calves, if they later contract bovine spongiform encephalopathy, are most likely to have become infected on the rearing premises and not in their natal herd;
Whereas an inspection mission on the assessment of the progress made in the implementation of the programme to eradicate BSE in the United Kingdom was conducted by the Food and Veterinary Office of the Commission from 3 to 6 March 1997 and from 9 to 13 June 1997; whereas it was observed that in Great Britain cohorts were only being generated from animals in the herds in which a BSE case was born; whereas it was, for epidemiological reasons, recommended that the generation of cohorts should not be limited to animals born in those natal herds but should be extended to other herds where the BSE case was first exposed to potentially contaminated feed and to animals which were moved into those natal herds;
Whereas Article 3 of Decision 96/385/EC requires the United Kingdom to notify the Commission of any intentions to modify the plan; whereas according to the same Article, that Decision should be re-examined as soon as possible following such notification;
Whereas the United Kingdom notified the Commission on 4 June 1997 of some operational changes which they proposed to make to the selective culling programme; whereas the United Kingdom on 17 October 1997 formally submitted to the Commission an amendment to insert the following new paragraph 10.10A in the selective culling programme:
'In some cases the BSE case received no solid feed in its natal herd. In operating the cull it will be assumed, unless there is strong evidence to the contrary, that infection took place on the first premises on which the BSE case received solid feed; and that other calves reared with it on those premises, irrespective of their herd of birth, may be exposed. A veterinary investigation will be carried out and a cohort will be formed by reference to the feeding, management and movement records at those premises;`
Whereas the proposed amendment will further reduce the number of BSE cases, and it should therefore be approved by means of an amendment to Decision 96/385/EC;
Whereas the Commission, in accordance with point 9 of the conclusions of the Council meeting of 1 to 3 April 1996, has adopted Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/96 (5), in order to provide market support;
Whereas further amendments to the programme to eradicate BSE in the United Kingdom are anticipated, in particular in the light of new scientific evidence on maternal transmission; whereas the United Kingdom submitted on 2 October 1997 a proposal with regard to the compulsory slaughter of all offspring of BSE cases born after 1 August 1996 in conjunction with a proposal for a date-based export scheme, to the Commission; whereas this proposal has been submitted to the appropriate scientific committee for evaluation;
Whereas, for the avoidance of doubt, it should be provided that animals that have been culled under a similar extension of the selective culling programme before this Decision takes effect are covered by the programme;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
In Article 1 of Decision 96/385/EC, the phrase 'as amended on 19 June 1996` is replaced by 'as last amended on 17 October 1997`.
Animals that have been culled after 1 February 1997 under a similar extension shall be covered by the eradication programme as approved by this Decision.
The United Kingdom shall alter the eradication measures it applies to eradicate BSE in order to bring them into line with the Decision. It shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 12 December 1994 accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of urea ammonium nitrate solution originating in Bulgaria and Poland (94/825/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) 1506/94 (3) (hereinafter referred to as the 'provisional duty Regulation'), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of urea-ammonium-nitrate solution ('UAN') originating in Bulgaria and Poland, and falling under CN code 3102 80 00. By Regulation (EC) No 2620/94 (4), the Council extended the validity of this duty for a period not exceeding two months.
(2) In the subsequent procedure it was established that definitive anti-dumping measures should be taken in order to eliminate injurious dumping. The findings and conclusions on all aspects of the investigation are set out in Council Regulation (EC) 3319/94 (5).
(3) Having been informed of those conclusions, the Bulgarian producer and exporter offered an undertaking with regard to the import prices to independent customers in the Community pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. According to this undertaking, import prices will be at a non-injurious level as established in the framework of the present anti-dumping proceeding.
(4) In addition, since the Bulgarian producer and eaxporter have undertaken to submit detailed and regular sales information to the Commission and not to enter into direct or indirect compensatory arrangements with their customers, it has been concluded that the correct observance of the undertaking can be effectively monitored by the Commission.
(5) In view of the provisions of Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the undertaking should enter into force on the same date as the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) 3319/94 in the present proceeding.
(6) In those circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigation can, therefore, be terminated with respect to the Bulgarian producer and exporter concerned.
(7) The producer and exporter concerned were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the definitive anti-dumping measures were proposed and have had the opportunity to comment on all aspects of the investigation. Accordingly should the undertaking be withdrawn or should the Commission have reason to believe that the undertaking has been violated, it may, where the interests of the Community so require, apply provisional anti-dumping duties forthwith under
Article 10
(6) of Regulation (EEC) 2423/88 and, subsequently definitive anti-dumping duties could be imposed by the Council.
(8) When the Advisory Committee was consulted on the acceptance of the undertakings offered, several Member States raised objections. Therefore, in accordance with Article 9 and 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Commission sent a report to the Council on the results of the consultations and a proposal that the investigation be terminated by the acceptance of undertakings. Consequently, in accordance with the said Articles 9 and 10 (1) this Decision will only take effect and be published if the Council does not decide otherwise within one month,
The undertaking offered by Agropolychim, Devnya and Chimimport Investment and Fertilizer Inc., Sofia in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of urea ammonium nitrate solution originating in Bulgaria and Poland and falling within CN code 3102 80 00 is hereby accepted. This acceptance shall take effect on the date of entry into force of Council Regulation (EC) No 3319/94.
The investigation in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated in respect of the companies named in that Article. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 24,255/kg.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 47/2003(2), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(4), lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(6). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, prices on the international market. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons, table grapes and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to proceed by an open invitation to tender and to set the indicative refund amount and the scheduled quantities for the period concerned.
(9) The Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
1. An invitation to tender for the allocation of A3 export licences is hereby opened. The products concerned, the tender submission period, the indicative refund rates and the scheduled quantities are laid down in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(7) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of the A3 licences shall be three months.

modifying Regulation (EC) No 323/2006 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 as regards the term of validity of export licences in the milk and milk products sector
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), and in particular Article 31(14) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products (2) lays down the term of validity of export licences.
(2) As a precautionary measure, with a view to protect the Community budget from unnecessary expenditures and to avoid a speculative application of the export refund regime in the dairy sector, Commission Regulation (EC) No 323/2006 (3) provided for that, by way of derogation from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, the term of validity of export licences for milk products for which an application has been lodged from 1 March 2006 on should be limited to 30 June 2006.
(3) A close monitoring of both the internal and the world market has shown a longer validity period of the licences may be progressively re-established without any risk of destabilisation of the proper functioning of the common market organisation. It is therefore appropriate to modify Regulation (EC) No 323/2006.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 323/2006 is replaced by the following:
‘By way of derogation from Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, the term of validity of export licences with advance fixing of the refund, which are applied for from 25 May 2006 until 15 June 2006 in respect of the products referred to in point (c) of that Article, shall expire on 30 June 2006.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 of 17 May 1977 introducing a system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds [1], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1365/80 [2], and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 [3], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1799/79 [4], it was possible to lodge applications for the non-marketing premium only up to 15 September 1980, although by virtue of Regulation (EEC) No 1365/80 the system of conversion premiums has been extended up to the end of the 1980/81 milk marketing year;
Whereas Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 provided beneficiaries of the conversion premium with the opportunity of opting subsequently for the non-marketing premium system; whereas, in that case, the situation of those concerned is adapted to that which would have been the case if they had applied at the outset for the non-marketing premium ;
Whereas, with regard to beneficiaries of the conversion premium who lodged their application as from 16 September 1980, it should be specified that, since the non-marketing premium system has been abolished with effect from that date, the option referred to above was not available to them since it would no longer have been possible for them to apply for the said premium at the outset;
Whereas, with regard to beneficiaries of the conversion premium who lodged their application before 16 September 1980, keeping the option available would be such as to circumvent the abolition of the nonmarketing system as from that date; whereas, in these circumstances, it should be laid down that, at the expiry of a transitional period, the said beneficiaries of the conversion premium can no longer exercise that opinion ;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The following paragraph 3 is hereby added to Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 :
"3. However, the declaration referred to in paragraph 1 may be presented to the competent authority only up to 31 December 1980 by beneficiaries of the conversion premium who lodged their application for the said premium before 16 September 1980."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 41 and Article 21 thereof in conjunction with point 4 of Section 3(a) of Annex V thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Section 2 of Chapter II of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1832/2006 (1) lays down provisions dealing with the determination and elimination of surplus quantities of sugar present in Bulgaria and Romania at the date of their accession to the European Union. In particular it sets deadlines for the determination of the surplus sugar quantities, for their elimination and for the proofs of elimination to be provided for by identified operators and/or Bulgaria and Romania. It also fixes reference periods to be used in the calculation of charges for Bulgaria and Romania if surplus quantities are not eliminated.
(2) Due to delays in obtaining the necessary information on the surplus quantities in Bulgaria and Romania, as well as the time required for thorough analysis of that information and discussion with the Member States concerned, it has not been possible for the Commission to determine the surplus quantities of sugar by 31 July 2007, as set out for by Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1832/2006.
(3) In order to ensure that Section 2 of Chapter II may be properly applied, the deadlines need to be prolonged.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1832/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EC) No 1832/2006 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 9(1), ‘31 July 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2008’;
2. Article 11 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, ‘30 April 2008’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2009’;

4. Article 13 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, ‘31 August 2008’ is replaced by ‘31 January 2010’;
(b) paragraph 2 is amended as follows:
(i) in the first subparagraph, ‘30 April 2008’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2009’;

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 4 February 2014
repealing Decision 2000/745/EC accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating, inter alia, in India
(2014/109/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic anti-subsidy Regulation’), and in particular Articles 13 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. EXISTING MEASURES
(1) Countervailing measures on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (‘PET’) originating in India have been in force since 2000 (2). These measures have been last maintained by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 (3), following an expiry review.
(2) Anti-dumping measures on imports of PET originating in India have been in force since 2000 (4). These measures have been last maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (5), following an expiry review. On 24 February 2012 the Commission initiated a subsequent expiry review. By Implementing Decision 2013/226/EU (6), the Council rejected the Commission’s proposal for a Council implementing regulation maintaining the anti-dumping duty on imports of PET originating in, inter alia, India and, thus, the anti-dumping measures expired.
(3) In 2000, by Decision 2000/745/EC (7) the Commission accepted price undertakings (‘the undertakings’), offered in connection with both the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings from, inter alia, the Indian companies: Pearl Engineering Polymers Limited (‘Pearl’) and Reliance Industries Limited (‘Reliance’). In 2005, by Decision 2005/697/EC (8) amending Decision 2000/745/EC, the Commission accepted an undertaking from the Indian company South ASEAN Petrochem Limited which as a result of a merger changed its name to Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Limited (‘Dhunseri’) (9).
B. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UNDERTAKINGS
(4) A change in the circumstances during the implementation of the undertakings may justify a decision of the Commission to exercise its power to withdraw the acceptance of the undertakings, as set out in Article 13(9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.
(5) The repeal of the anti-dumping measures and the maintenance of countervailing duties constitute a change in the circumstances under which the undertakings were accepted. The undertakings were accepted in the presence of both anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures. The core element of the undertakings, the Minimum Import Price (‘MIP’), reflects both the dumping and subsidy element. Currently, there is no dumping element. Therefore, the MIP is not at the appropriate level.
C. BREACHES OF THE UNDERTAKING
(6) In addition, one of the Indian companies, Pearl, did not respect its reporting obligation vis-à-vis the Commission. The company failed to submit quarterly sales reports. The Commission is thus unable to effectively monitor the undertaking.
(7) The provisions of the undertaking stipulate that failure to submit reports constitutes a breach of the undertaking. A recent ruling of the Court of Justice (10) also confirmed that reporting obligations must be regarded as primary obligations for the proper functioning of an undertaking.
(8) The acceptance of Pearl’s undertaking has to be withdrawn also on this basis.
D. WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS
(9) The three companies were granted the opportunity to be heard and make written submissions. Two Indian companies and the Committee of PET Manufacturers in Europe (CPME), representing the Union industry, commented.
1. Changed circumstances as a ground for withdrawing the acceptance of an undertaking
(10) One company claimed that the proposal to withdraw the acceptance of the undertaking lacked a legal basis. That party claimed that Article 13(9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation did not explicitly mention ‘changed circumstances’ and linked any possibility to withdraw the acceptance of the undertaking with instances of breach. This argument had to be rejected. Article 13(9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation indeed does not explicitly mention ‘change in circumstances’. However, it clearly does not limit the instances in which the Commission may withdraw the acceptance of an undertaking to instances of breach. It states that ‘[i]n case of breach or withdrawal of undertakings by any party to the undertaking, or in case of withdrawal of acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission [emphasis added], the acceptance of the undertaking shall, after consultation, be withdrawn…’. It therefore singles out the withdrawal of acceptance of an undertaking as a stand-alone basis for withdrawal.
(11) In fact, the Commission’s discretionary powers to accept or reject an undertaking offer have to be mirrored by the power to withdraw the acceptance of an undertaking, should the circumstances on the basis of which the undertaking offers were accepted change. According to the case-law of the Court, ‘it is for the institutions, in the exercise of their discretionary power, to determine whether […] undertakings are acceptable.’ (11). That discretionary power is in general wide in the sphere of measures to protect trade, because the Union Courts recognize that in that sphere, the Institutions have to examine complex economic, political and legal situations. More specifically, the Court held that the Commission, ‘when exercising the powers assigned to it in [the basic Regulation], has a very wide discretion to decide, in terms of the interests of the Community, any measures needed to deal with the situation which it has established.’ (12). Hence, the Commission, when accepting, rejecting or withdrawing an undertaking, enjoys the discretion necessary in order to be able to implement trade measures in the Union interest.
(12) The Commission therefore rejects the argument that a change in circumstances, as compared to those which prevailed at the time of the acceptance of the undertaking, cannot serve as a ground for withdrawal of that acceptance.
2. Consistency of the withdrawal with previous legal acts concerning the same proceeding
(13) One company claimed that Commission Decision 2013/223/EU (13) reconfirmed the acceptance of its undertaking. A related argument was that Article 2(2) of the Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 imposing a definitive countervailing duty constituted another recognition that the undertaking could remain in force after the expiry of the anti-dumping duties. Both arguments are misguided. By Decision 2013/223/EU, the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertakings of one Indonesian and one Indian company that violated their reporting obligations. A withdrawal for one company does not in any way preclude a subsequent decision of the Commission to withdraw acceptance of other undertakings should such action be warranted in light of circumstances of a particular case.
(14) Consequently, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013, published on 23 May 2013 reflected the amendment of Decision 2000/745/EC due to the adoption of Decision 2013/223/EU (withdrawal for one Indonesian and one Indian company). Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 imposing a definitive countervailing duty was published on the same day as Implementing Decision 2013/226/EU by which the Council repealed the anti-dumping duty. The consequences of the latter decision could only be assessed by the Commission after its adoption.
(15) The arguments of the party had to be thus rejected.
3. Mathematical adaptation of the MIP
(16) One company requested that the Commission should deduct from the MIP an amount corresponding to the fixed anti-dumping duty and thereby bring the MIP in compliance with the underlying measure — countervailing duty. Such an operation could not be performed. First and foremost, under the terms of the undertaking any revision of the scope and the minimum prices is only possible through an interim review in accordance with Article 19 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation. Secondly, the company requested a mere deduction from the current MIP of amounts corresponding to the amount of the fixed anti-dumping duty. In the current undertaking the MIP and the indexation mechanism are based either on the non-injurious price established for the Union market (target price) or on the normal value (depending on the company in question) as determined in 1999. In the latter case, since the anti-dumping duty expired the whole basis for the MIP is non-existent. Had the undertaking been assessed only with regard to the countervailing duty, the export price (increased by the amount of the fixed countervailing duty) could have become a benchmark for the MIP. In order to establish an appropriate MIP, the Commission would have to first identify export price that would serve as a benchmark. No such benchmark can be easily identified in the present case, not least because measures have been in force for a long time. Further, the indexation mechanism currently in place that relates to the non-injurious price (target price) or the normal value cannot be simply transposed to the export price. Any simple mathematical adaptation would have required that all elements necessary to calculate the MIP are easily identifiable and undisputable. Only then the Commission can guarantee the equivalence of the undertaking to the measure in force. This condition is not fulfilled in the present case. A simple mathematical operation as suggested by the applicant is therefore impossible.
(17) The Commission has to act timely with regard to the undertaking in force in order to follow the decision of the Council to repeal the anti-dumping duties in force. Therefore, any further delay has to be avoided. The withdrawal of the acceptance of the undertaking does not prejudice any possible future decision, should a company wish to submit an undertaking offer.
(18) Following the second disclosure of the Commission’s findings, one party reiterated that the minimum import price should be decreased by a simple mathematical operation. It contested the Commission’s reasoning in that regard as ‘misplaced and lacking any basis’. However, that position has not been substantiated any further and thus has to be rejected. In any case, the claim has been address in recital 16 above.
(19) Consequently, the claim to mathematically adjust the MIP had to be rejected.
4. Pending case T-422/13
(20) One company claimed that undertakings should remain in force pending the decision of the General Court in case T-422/13 CPME and Others v Council. According to that company, should the Union industry be successful in their challenge of Council Implementing Decision 2013/226/EU repealing the anti-dumping duties, the Commission would be under obligation to reinstate the undertaking. This argument is misguided. The Commission has to assess the current situation and act timely in order to follow the decision of the Council to repeal the anti-dumping measures. An anticipation of a possible outcome of a court case cannot guide Commission’s decisions in that regard. In view of this fact, the decision concerning the undertakings in force has to be taken in a timely manner.
5. Breaches of the undertaking
(21) One company claimed that breach of reporting obligations by one company should not have any consequences upon other companies. It is hereby confirmed that only the company Pearl was found in breach of its reporting obligations.
6. Possible review and undertakings
(22) Two Indian companies claimed that undertakings should remain in force pending the results of a possible interim review of the MIP. The Commission notes that because the anti-dumping duty expired the basis for the MIP has become non-existent (see recital 16 above). A decision to address the effects of this change has to be taken in a timely manner. In parallel, a company can request a review of the measure in place and in that context offer a new undertaking concerning only the anti-subsidy measures in force.
(23) Following the second disclosure of the Commission’s findings, one party reiterated that the Commission should have initiated an ex-officio interim review while the undertaking should remain in force pending the outcome of such review.
(24) The Commission notes first and foremost that the initiation of an anti-subsidy review investigation lies within its discretionary powers. However, in this particular case a review investigation is linked to the wish of an exporter to offer a new undertaking. Thus, the Commission has no reason to initiate a review without a new undertaking offer from the exporter concerned, in line with Article 13 of the basic Regulation.
(25) Further, as an equivalent form of measures, an undertaking has to correspond to the underlying measure imposed by the Council. This is no longer the case and thus has led the Commission to propose to withdraw the undertaking in force.
(26) Parties can indeed request an interim review based on the provisions of the basic anti-subsidy regulation and any possible new undertaking offer would be considered in the framework of any such review.
7. Anti-subsidy duty as a barrier to imports
(27) Following the second disclosure of the Commission’s findings, one party claimed that the withdrawal of the acceptance of the undertaking ‘rather than reducing the level of protection in line with the expiry of the anti-dumping measures, (…) [would] make it impossible for users of PET to import’. The Commission notes in that regard that in the absence of an undertaking, the minimum import price ceases to be a benchmark for an exporter. The party did not substantiate why the countervailing duty would prevent Indian exporters from importing. In any case, the purpose of imposing measures and accepting an undertaking, if appropriate, is not about the possibility of users to import. The purpose is establishing a level of protection, as the party notes. The interests of users have been assessed under the Union interest for imposing measures together with the interests of all other parties concerned. It has been concluded that the imposition of measures is not against the Union interest. The argument had to be therefore rejected.
8. Conclusion on submissions by parties
(28) None of the arguments raised by interested parties was such as to alter the Commission’s proposal to withdraw the acceptance of the undertaking.
E. REPEAL OF DECISION 2000/745/EC
(29) In view of the above, the acceptance of the undertakings should be withdrawn and Decision 2000/745/EC should be repealed. Accordingly, the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 should apply to imports of PET produced by the companies Dhunseri, Reliance and Pearl (TARIC additional code A585 for Dhunseri, TARIC additional code A181 for Reliance and TARIC additional code A182 for Pearl.),
Decision 2000/745/EC is repealed.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products falling within CN codes 1001 10 00, 1001 90 91, ex 1001 90 99 (high quality common wheat), 1002, ex 1005 other than hybrid seed, and ex 1007 other than hybrids for sowing, is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Ivermectin is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for all mammalian food producing species, applicable to fat, liver and kidney, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption.
(4) On 15 December 2010 the Commission requested that the European Medicines Agency issue a new opinion on the substance ivermectin to include the possibility of establishing a MRL for tissue muscle.
(5) On 9 June 2011 the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (‘CVMP’) adopted an opinion recommending the establishment of MRLs for ivermectin in tissues, including muscle, for all mammalian food producing species.
(6) On 25 October 2011 the Commission requested that the CVMP reconsider its opinion of 9 June 2011 and amend the part referring to residue levels at the injection site in the ‘Other provisions’ of Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010.
(7) On 12 September 2013, the CVMP adopted a revised opinion recommending the establishment of a MRL for ivermectin for all mammalian food producing species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver and kidney, excluding animals from which milk is produced for human consumption. The CVMP recommended in its revised opinion that, for the purpose of monitoring the residues of ivermectin that, where the entire carcass is available, fat, liver or kidney should be sampled in preference to muscle as residues in these tissues deplete more slowly than residues in muscle.
(8) The entry for ivermectin in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include MRLs for the pharmaceutical substance for all mammalian food producing species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver and kidney, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption.
(9) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 24 June 2014.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1241/2009
of 16 December 2009
continuing and updating the scope of prior surveillance of imports of certain iron and steel products originating in certain third countries
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 260/2009 of 26 February 2009 on common rules for imports (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 625/2009 of 7 July 2009 on common rules for imports from certain third countries (2) and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultations with the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 76/2002 (3), the Commission introduced prior Community surveillance of imports of certain iron and steel products originating in third countries.
(2) The Union’s external trade statistics are not available within the periods established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 (4).
(3) Although the situation has changed since the introduction of surveillance in 2002, developments in the world steel market continue to require a reliable and quick information system on the future imports of the Union.
(4) The trends of imports of the products currently under surveillance as well as stainless steel flat products and large welded tubes, currently not under the surveillance system, were examined. It was deemed necessary to examine trends for these additional products given the fact that they represent the most value-added products on the market.
(5) In the last years, imports into the EU of those steel products increased substantially (by 40 %) in absolute terms between 2005 and 2008. Even if imports started to decrease since the end of 2008, imports merely followed the drop in demand and, in terms relative to consumption, they remained significant.
(6) Worldwide steel production capacities have grown in 2006-2008 and are expected to continue to grow until 2010. Two-digit capacity growth in the next 2 years is expected in a variety of regions especially in China, India, Brazil and the Middle East. China, the most important country in terms of increasing capacity, represents today about 40 % of the world crude steel making capacity and about three times the EU’s yearly consumption of steel.
(7) Given the fact that the EU is an important market for steel in terms of size and price, especially in the context of a strong currency, it is likely that once the market recovers and the demand on the Union market improves, any excess in steel capacity would be re-directed to the EU. In comparison, access to third country markets has been reduced to a various extent recently as countries in several geographical areas (such as Americas, Asia, Middle East) have taken measures to protect or support their steel industry. These measures took different forms, including tariff increases, licensing requirement, buy local requirements, and concern markets with a significant share of the global consumption.
(8) The production of crude steel and stainless steel flat products in the EU reached the highest level in 2007 and 2006 respectively, and then started decreasing in 2008. During the first semester 2009 there was a contraction of 43,2 % compared to the first semester of 2008 as opposed to a contraction in world steel output of 22,4 % during the same period. The crisis has had an impact on all the largest steel producing countries of the EU, and as a reaction steel producers have reduced the number of days of production, thus increasing the idle capacity.
(9) All producers have significantly reduced employment. In June 2009 around 40 % of the work force in the EU steel sector was affected by the economic crises in the form of permanent or temporary lay-offs and short-time working.
(10) On the basis of recent trends in imports of steel products, of the current vulnerable situation of the EU industry, the continuing weak demand on the EU market and of the likelihood that current and future excess capacity would be re-directed to EU if demand would recover, a threat of injury to Union producers pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 260/2009 can therefore be deemed to exist.
(11) Thus, the Union interest requires that imports of certain steel products should continue to be subject to prior surveillance in order to provide advanced statistical information permitting rapid analysis of import trends. Rapid and anticipated trade data is necessary to deal with the vulnerability of the European steel market to sudden changes on world steel markets. This is particularly important in the present crisis situation marked by uncertainties as to whether the demand will structurally pick up and whether the EU industry will actually benefit from it.
(12) Furthermore, in view of the developments on the market of flat stainless steel products and large welded tubes and the situation of the industries at stake, and given that similar steel import monitoring systems include these products, it is appropriate that the scope of this system includes the products listed in Annex I.
(13) Taking into account the developments mentioned above, and taking into consideration that other major steel producing countries such as Canada and the United States of America have recently decided to extend their similar steel import monitoring systems (extended until 31 August 2011 and 21 March 2013, respectively), it is appropriate that this system should continue until 31 December 2012.
(14) In order to minimise unnecessary constraints and not disturb excessively the activities of companies close to the borders, the net weight of imports that are excluded from the application of this Regulation remains at 2 500 kilograms,
Regulation (EC) No 76/2002 is amended as follows:
1. the scope of the prior surveillance shall be extended to the products listed in Annex I;
2. in Article 6 delete ‘31 December 2009’ and substitute with ‘31 December 2012’;
3. the list of competent national authorities shall be replaced by the list in Annex II.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133, in conjunction with Article 300(2), subparagraph 1, first sentence, thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part(1) (hereinafter referred to as the Europe Agreement), provides for certain reciprocal trade concessions for certain agricultural products.
(2) Article 20(5) of the Europe Agreement provides that the Community and Poland shall examine product by product and on an orderly and reciprocal basis the possibilities of granting each other further concessions.
(3) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were provided for in the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take account of the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the outcome of the Uruguay Round negotiations on agriculture, including improvements to the existing preferential arrangements, approved by Council Decision 2002/63/EC(2).
(4) Improvements to the preferential arrangements were also provided for as a result of negotiations to liberalise agricultural trade concluded in 2000. On the Community side, these were implemented from 1 January 2001 by Regulation (EC) No 2851/2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Poland(3). This second adjustment of the preferential arrangements has not yet been incorporated in the Europe Agreement in the form of an Additional Protocol.
(5) Negotiations for further improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement were concluded on 23 December 2002.
(6) The new Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Poland, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as the Protocol) should be approved with a view to consolidating all concessions in agricultural trade between the two sides, including the results of the negotiations concluded in 2000 and 2002.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(4) has codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations. Certain tariff quotas under this Decision should therefore be administered in accordance with those rules.
(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).
(9) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation (EC) No 2851/2000 has effectively lost its substance and should therefore be repealed,
The attached Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The President of the Council is authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the Protocol on behalf of the Community and make the notification of approval provided for in Article 3 of the Protocol.
The Commission shall adopt rules for the application of the Protocol in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2).
The order numbers as attributed to the tariff quotas in the Annex to this Decision may be changed by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2). Tariff quotas with an order number above 09.5100 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee for Sugar instituted by Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001(6) or, where appropriate, by the committee instituted by the relevant provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
Regulation (EC) No 2851/2000 shall be repealed as from the entry into force of the Protocol. | 0 | 0.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 |

(84/477/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 65 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 74/77/ECSC of 22 January 1974 authorizing an agreement between British steelmaking undertakings for the establishment of a joint buying agency for ferrous scrap and other steelmaking materials (1) and to Commission Decision 77/437/ECSC (2) renewing that authorization,
Having regard to the application submitted on 18 June 1982, amended by letter of 9 March 1984, by Steelmaking Supplies Ltd, London,
Whereas:
(1) By its Decision 74/77/ECSC, the Commission authorized an agreement between certain steelmaking undertakings in the private sector of the United Kingdom steel industry to establish a joint buying and consultative agency for ferrous scrap and other steelmaking materials. The agreement was authorized for an initial period of three years until 1 January 1977.
(2) The agency in question was duly established under the name Steelmaking Supplies Ltd (SSL) in London.
(3) By its Decision 77/437/ECSC, the Commission renewed that authorization until 30 June 1982.
(4) By application dated 18 June 1982, amended by letter of 9 March 1984, SSL requested on behalf of the undertakings concerned the renewal of that authorization for a further five years.
(5) The undertakings concerned are the following:
- Barworth Flockton Ltd, Sheffield,
- Brymbo Steel Works Ltd, Brymbo,
- Rich. W. Carr & Co. Ltd, Sheffield,
- Manchester Steel Ltd, Manchester,
- F. M. Parkin Ltd, Sheffield,
- Sanderson Kayser Ltd, Sheffield,
- Sheerness Steel Co. Ltd, Sheerness,
- Spear and Jackson Ltd, Sheffield.
(6) The principal features of the agreement are:
(i) SSL may be employed by all or some of the parties to make joint purchases of scrap or other steelmaking materials as may be determined on their behalf by the management committee of SSL, when these purchases cannot be more satisfactorily achieved by the parties acting independently;
(ii) to determine the need for the employment of SSL, the parties regularly exchange information through SSL on the prices paid for scrap or such other steelmaking materials as may be agreed by them from time to time;
(iii) SSL may also be employed by the parties to further their studies of the direct reduction of iron ore for use as a steelmaking raw material and to make arrangements for the supply of such material;
(iv) each party to the agreement has the power to appoint a representative to the management committee of SSL.
(7) The agreement restricts normal competition within the common market in that the parties agree to allocate products and sources of supply through SSL and to exchange price information for this purpose. The agreement therefore falls within the prohibition in Article 65 (1).
(8) The agreement is, however, strictly analogous in nature and effect to a joint buying agreement and can therefore be authorized if it continues to meet the conditions set out in Article 65 (2) (a), (b) and (c).
(9) Since the last renewal of the authorization the parties have not used SSL for the joint buying of scrap or other steelmaking materials because of the low demand for scrap and other steelmaking materials. When the steel market recovers, however, and gives rise to a greater pressure of demand for scrap, the parties want to have the possibility of employing SSL to undertake joint purchases (including joint imports) of scrap and other steelmaking materials on their behalf. This will help the parties to combat the dominant buying position of the British Steel Corporation (BSC) in the British market for scrap and other steelmaking materials. This dominant position of the BSC has been strengthened in recent years through the setting-up of BSC/Private Sector joint ventures (Allied Steel and Wire, Sheffield Forgemasters), which has brought previously private sector undertakings (Guest Keen & Nettlefolds (GKN) (South Wales) and Firth Brown Ltd) under the joint control of BSC and has weakened to the same extent the SSL, of which GKN and Firth Brown Ltd were members. This evolution could make the agreement under certain circumstances even more necessary for the rest of its members.
(10) The exchange of information on the prices of scrap and other steelmaking materials is appropriate in so far as it enables the parties to ascertain whether joint buying would be advantageous.
(11) No new restrictions have been introduced into the agreement since the last renewal of the authorization. In particular, no restrictions have been introduced into any joint purchasing contract which would compel the parties to buy the materials in question only through SSL. The agreement is therefore no more restrictive than is necessary for its purpose, and it is essential for the required result - an improvement in supplies of steelmaking materials - taking into consideration the structure of the British market for steelmaking materials.
(12) There were 15 parties to the agreement when the first authorization was renewed in June 1977. This number has now been reduced to eight. Some of the original members have been deleted from the list as they no longer make steel (Duport Steels Ltd, Edgar Allen Balfour Steel Ltd, Dunford Hadfields Ltd, Lloyd Cooper Ltd, Neepsend Ltd, Osborn Steels Ltd, Patent Shaft Steel Works Ltd, Round Oak Steel Works Ltd, Spartan Redheugh Ltd, Wolsingham Steel Co Ltd) or because they have merged with certain BSC steel works and become BSC/Private Sector joint ventures; this is the case with GKN South Wales Ltd (now in Allied Steel and Wire (ASW)) and with Firth Brown Ltd (now in Sheffield Forgemasters).
Some new members have entered into the agreement (Rich. W. Carr & Co. Ltd, Barworth Flockton Ltd and F. M. Parkin Ltd).
(13) In the last three years (1981, 1982, 1983) private sector crude steel production in the UK was 1 852 000 tonnes, 1 579 000 tonnes and 1 353 000 tonnes respectively. This production represented 12,1 %, 11,8 %, and 9,17 % respectively of total British crude steel production. These figures show that the private sector share in crude steel production is declining while the BSC share is increasing (87,9 %, 88,2 %, 90,83 % respectively), not least because of the acquisition of joint control over the BSC/Private Sector joint ventures.
(14) The same trend can also be observed in the purchase of scrap and ferro-alloys and other alloying materials. The private sector scrap purchase for the years 1981 and 1982 was 1 220 000 tonnes and 1 123 000 tonnes respectively, representing 38 % and 34 % respectively of the total UK steel industry purchases, while the market share of the BSC increased to 62 % and 66 % respectively. As to the purchases of ferro-alloys and other alloying materials, the private sector purchase for the years 1981 and 1982 was 36 700 tonnes and 31 100 tonnes respectively, representing 18 % and 15 % of the total UK steel industry purchase respectively, while the share of the BSC increased to 82 % and 85 % respectively.
(15) The above figures show that, although the existing SSL members represent about 95 % of UK private sector steel production, their combined buying strength is much smaller than that of the BSC, which is the dominant buyer of scrap and other steelmaking materials in the UK. Another point to be taken into account is the fact that the British scrap market is characterized by a large surplus: of the total scrap supply of 11,4 million tonnes in 1982, 3,1 million tonnes were exported.
In these circumstances the agreement will not give the parties the power to determine the prices or to control or restrict the production or mar keting of the materials in question within the common market or to shield them against effective competition from other undertakings in the common market.
(16) In the circumstances the conditions set out in Article 65 (2) (a), (b) and (c) continue to be fulfilled, and this situation would not be altered if additional existing companies in the private sector of the UK steel industry were admitted into membership. Given the structure and developments in the UK steel industry and scrap sector, the Commission considers it appropriate to extend its authorization to cover the period ending on 31 December 1994,
The duration of the validity of Decision 74/77/ECSC is hereby extended until 31 December 1994.
The following undertakings may be parties to the agreement for so long, within the period of the authorization, as they have not effected a concentration with the British Steel Corporation within the meaning of Article 66 of the Treaty:
- Barworth Flockton Ltd, Sheffield,
- Brymbo Steel Works Ltd, Brymbo,
- Rich. W. Carr & Co. Ltd, Sheffield,
- Manchester Steel Ltd, Manchester,
- F. M. Parkin Ltd, Sheffield,
- Sanderson Kayser Ltd, Sheffield,
- Sheerness Steel Co. Ltd, Sheerness,
- Spear and Jackson Ltd, Sheffield.
1. Steelmaking Supplies Ltd shall inform the Commission of any proposed additions to its membership.
2. The admission of such new members shall not take effect until the Commission has declared that it is in conformity with this Decision or has authorized it under Article 65 (2) of the Treaty.
This Decision is effective as from 1 July 1982 and is addressed to the British Independent Steel Producers' Association, 5 Cromwell Road, London SW7 2HX. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(4) On 3 December 2002, the Council invited the Commission to take steps in order to transfer to the structures already established in the securities field the present functions and powers held by the UCITS (undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities) Contact Committee, set up by Council Directive 85/611/EEC of 20 December 1985 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS)(5), as last amended by Directive 2001/108/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(6).

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 19 June 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has 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 'Quanta Ray pulsed dye laser, model PDL-1, and Nd: YAG laboratory laser system, model DCR-1A', to be used for the study of vibration excited molecule reactions and in particular photolysis reactions in the UV region, 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 15 December 1981 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 laser; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the quality of the emissions 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'Laser Ă YAG 10Hz', manufactured by Quantel, 17, avenue de l'Atlantique, ZI 91400 Orsay, France,
The apparatus described as 'Quanta Ray pulsed dye laser, model PDL-1, and Nd: YAG laboratory laser system, model DCR-1A', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 19 June 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
