Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(1), as last amended by Directive 2000/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 8(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The request for exemption submitted by Italy on 18 December 2000, which reached the Commission on 21 December 2000, contained the information required by Article 8(2)(c) of Directive 70/156/EEC. The request concerns the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements for two class M1 types of compressed natural gas fuelled vehicle.
(2) The reasons given in the request, according to which such vehicle types meet the requirements of Annex IV to Directive 70/156/EEC, apart from Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/102/EC(4), are well founded.
(3) Article 2(3) of Directive 98/69/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5), specifies that the requirements of the latter Directive take effect on 1 January 2001 for new vehicles in category M accompanied by a certificate of conformity.

(5) The validity of the approvals granted pursuant to this Decision should not be extended beyond the date of entry into application of the requirements of Directive 2001/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(6) with regard to new vehicles in category M accompanied by a certificate of conformity.
(6) The measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Italy for an exemption concerning the production and placing on the market of two class M1 types of vehicle powered by compressed natural gas, with regard to their OBD requirements, is hereby approved.
The validity of the approvals granted in accordance with this Decision shall take effect on 1 January 2001 and shall expire on 31 December 2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 75/91 of 11 January 1991 laying down the procedures and conditions for the disposal of paddy rice held by intervention agencies(3) provides among other things that rice held by intervention agencies is to be sold by tendering procedure at prices that allow market disturbances to be avoided.
(2) Italy has intervention stocks of paddy rice from harvests earlier than 1999 whose quality is in danger of deteriorating as a result of prolonged storage.
(3) Disposing of this rice on traditional markets inside the Community would inevitably trigger off, in the present production situation and when concessions for rice imports are being granted under international agreements, the placing of an equivalent quantity in intervention, which must be avoided.
(4) This rice could be disposed of in the animal feed sector, on special conditions.
(5) The undertakings given by tenderers are regarded as primary requirements within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999(5).
(6) In order to ensure that the rice is used for the purpose specified, provision should be made for special monitoring and for the successful tenderer to provide a security, the conditions for the release of which should be laid down.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(7), lays down common detailed rules for verifying the use of products from intervention. Procedures should also be laid down to ensure the traceability of the products used for animal feed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The Italian intervention agency shall offer for sale by standing invitation to tender on the Community internal market some 39000 tonnes of rice as referred to in Annex I from the 1997 and 1998 harvests, for use in preparations of a kind used in animal feeding (products falling within CN code 2309 ).
1. The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 75/91.
However, notwithstanding Article 5 of that Regulation:
(a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
(b) the minimum sale price shall be set at a level that does not disturb the market for cereals within the Community.
2. Tenderers shall give an undertaking:
(a) to use in animal feed, within three months of the date of the award of the contract, rice for which they are declared the successful tenderer, save in cases of force majeure;
(b) to carry out immediately, under the supervision of the competent authorities at a place determined by agreement with them, the treatments described in Annex II, designed to ensure verification of the use made of the rice and the traceability of the products;
(c) to bear the costs of the processing referred to in Annex II;
(d) to keep stock records so that checks may be made that they have respected their undertakings.
1. A notice of invitation to tender shall be published by the Italian intervention agency at least eight days before the final day of the first period for the submission of tenders, a notice of invitation to tender.

1. Tenders shall be valid only if they are accompanied by:
(a) evidence that the tenderer has lodged a security of EUR 15 per tonne;
(b) a written undertaking by the tenderer that the rice for which he is the successful tenderer will be processed into compound feed at his premises within three months of the date of the award of the contract;
(c) evidence that the tenderer is an animal feed manufacturer;
(d) a written undertaking by the tenderer to lodge a security for an amount equivalent to the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice applicable on the tender date plus EUR 15 and the price tendered per tonne of rice not later than two working days after the date of receipt of the notice of award of contract.
2. Once submitted, a tender may not be altered or withdrawn.
1. The closing date for the submission of tenders for the first partial invitation to tender shall be 17 October 2001 at 12.00 (Brussels time).
2. The closing dates for the submission of tenders for subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be each Wednesday at 12.00 (Brussels time), with the exception of Wednesday, 31 October 2001.

The intervention agency shall immediately notify all tenderers of the outcome of their participation in the tendering procedure.
Within three working days of the notification referred to in the first paragraph, it shall send notices of award of contract to successful tenderers by registered letter or written telecommunication.
Successful tenderers shall pay for the rice before it is removed, and at the latest within one month of the date of dispatch of the notice referred to in the second paragraph of Article 8. The risks and costs of storing rice that is not removed within the payment period shall be borne by the successful tenderers.
Following the expiry of the payment period, rice for which a contract is awarded and which is not removed shall be regarded for all purposes as having been removed from storage.
Where a successful tenderer fails to pay for the rice within the period referred to in the first paragraph, the contract shall be terminated by the intervention agency, where appropriate in respect of the quantity not paid for.

(2) There is interest in the multiplication, in the Republic of Chile, of plants of Fragaria L., intended for planting, other than seeds, from plants supplied by a Member State, in order to prolong the producing season of the plants. The plants produced are afterwards exported to the Community to be planted for fruit production.
(3) For the 2001 season, by Commission Decision 2000/700/EC(3), derogations from certain provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC in respect of plants of Fragaria L., intended for planting, other than seeds, originating in the Republic of Chile have been authorised subject to specific conditions.
(4) The circumstances justifying those derogations are still valid. There is no new information giving cause for revision of the specific conditions.
(5) A derogation should therefore be authorised for a limited period, subject to specific conditions.
(6) The authorisation pursuant to this Decision shall be terminated if it is established that the specific conditions laid down in the Annex thereof are not sufficient to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms or have not been complied with.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The Member States are hereby authorised to provide for derogations from Article 4(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC, with regard to the prohibitions referred to in Annex III, part A, point 18 to that Directive for plants of strawberry (Fragaria L.), intended for planting, other than seeds, originating in the Republic of Chile.

Member States shall provide the Commission and the other Member States, before 30 November 2002, with the information on quantities imported pursuant to this Decision and with a detailed technical report of the official examination referred to in point 5 of the Annex.
Any Member State in which the plants are planted, after the import, shall also provide the Commission and the other Member States, before 31 January 2003, with a detailed technical report of the official examination referred to in point 8 of the Annex.
Member States shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of all cases of consignments introduced into their territory pursuant to this Decision which were subsequently found not to comply with the conditions laid down herein.

Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/160/EEC of 17 April 1972 concerning measures to encourage the cessation of farming and the reallocation of utilized agricultural area for the purposes of structural improvement (3), and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/161/EEC of 17 April 1972 concerning the provision of socio-economic guidance for and the acquisition of occupational skills by persons engaged in agriculture (4), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Whereas on 14 May 1975 the Government of Italy notified, pursuant to Article 17 (4) of Directive 72/159/EEC, Article 8 (4) of Directive 72/160/EEC and Article 10 (4) of Directive 72/161/EEC, Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 implementing the Directives of the Council of the European Communities on agricultural reform;
Whereas the Government of Italy pursuant to Article 17 (4) of Directive 72/159/EEC, further notified the following legal and administrative provisions up to 10 February 1976: - Ministerial Decree of 7 November 1975 fixing the interest rates pursuant to Articles 18 and 19 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975;
- two Ministerial Decrees of 7 November 1975 fixing different interest rates for farm credit on immovable property and short-term loans;
- Circular No 6 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of 7 March 1975 concerning provisions governing agricultural credit;
- Circular No 24 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of 10 December 1975 concerning Law No 153 of 9 May 1975; (1)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 9. (4)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 15.
- Circular No 4 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of 5 February 1976 concerning Law No 153 of 9 May 1975;
- Letter of 31 January 1976 fixing the comparable income pursuant to Article 17 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975;
Whereas under Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC, Article 9 (3) of Directive 72/160/EEC and Article 11 (3) of Directive 72/161/EEC the Commission has to decide whether, having regard to the compatibility of the legal and administrative provisions notified with the abovementioned Council Directives, and taking into account the aims of those Directives and the necessary connection between the various measures, the conditions for financial contribution to the common measures referred to in Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC, Article 6 of Directive 72/160/EEC and Article 8 of Directive 72/161/EEC are satisfied;
Whereas the basic aim of Directive 72/159/EEC is to encourage the formation and development of farms which are capable, through the use of rational methods of production, of affording persons employed by them a fair income comparable with that from non-agricultural occupations and satisfactory working conditions;
Whereas to that end Directive 72/159/EEC requires the Member States to introduce a system of selective incentives for farmers who can prove, by submitting a development plan, that upon completion of the plan their farm will attain, in respect of at least one man-work unit, a level of earned income from agriculture comparable with that received for non-agricultural work;
Whereas the measures provided for in Articles 11 to 31 of the abovementioned Law No 153 of 9 May 1975, the abovementioned Ministerial Decrees of 7 November 1975, the Circulars of 7 March 1975, 10 December 1975 and 5 February 1976 and the Letter of 31 January 1976 all entail the introduction of a system of selective incentives within the meaning of Directive 72/159/EEC;
Whereas the Commission took the following factors into consideration when reaching its decision: - the comparable income for 1976 fixed in the Letter of 31 January 1976 is, pursuant to the provisions of Article 17 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 and the third indent of Article 4 (4) (a) of Directive 72/159/EEC, determined with regard to the period covered by an approved development plan;
- when approving interest rate subsidies to the Ministerial Decrees of 7 November 1975 for farms which are not implementing a development plan, the regions comply with Article 31 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975, and hence with Article 14 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC;
Whereas no system of selective incentives for farms within the meaning of the second alternative in Article 2 (2) of Directive 72/159/EEC, whose present structure is such as to jeopardize the maintenance of the earned income at a comparable level has yet been introduced pursuant to Article 25 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 in conjunction with the abovementioned Ministerial Decrees of 7 November 1975;
Whereas Article 18 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 fixes the investment volume qualifying for assistance on a farm with an approved development plan at Lit 25 million for each man-work unit ; whereas, however, Article 8 (2) of Directive 72/159/EEC provides that the interest rate subsidy is not to apply to any part of the loan exceeding 40 908 units of account or Lit 35 million per man-work unit ; whereas the aid fixed in Articles 23, 29 and 30 pursuant to Articles 10, 11 and 12 of Directive 72/159/EEC is also too low;
Whereas the abovementioned provisions could be such as to considerably limit the field of application of the system of selective incentives provided for in the Directive, or to limit the effectives of the aids provided for in the Directive, and this could in the long run jeopardize the attainment of the objectives of Directive 72/159/EEC ; whereas it is therefore necessary to bring the abovementioned provisions within the suitable period of 15 months into line with the provisions of the Directive;
Whereas, however, in view of the above decision that the proposed measures all make provision for the introduction of a system of selective incentives within the meaning of Directive 72/159/EEC, the provisions for implementing Directive 72/159/EEC may already be considered to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community, at least for the abovementioned period;
Whereas, however, the above decision cannot become affective until the Council, pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Directive 72/159/ EEC, has authorized Italy to grant the aid mentioned in Article 18 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 and the Ministerial Decree of 7 November 1975 concerning Law No 153;
Whereas the basic aim of Directive 72/160/EEC is to make sufficient vacant land available for the creation of farms of suitable size and structure as specified in Article 4 of Council Directive 72/159/EEC on the modernization of farms;
Whereas to that end the Member States are therefore required: - under Article 2 (1) (a) of Directive 72/160/EEC to grant annuities to farmers aged between 55 and 65 practising farming as their main occupation who leave agriculture;
- under Article 2 (1) (b) of Directive 72/160/EEC to grant farmers a premium, which is not to be eligible for assistance and is to be calculated by reference to the utilized agricultural area released;
- under Article 2 (1) (c) of Directive No 72/160/EEC to grant annuities to permanently hired or family workers aged between 55 and 65 who are employed on farms where the farmer benefits from any measure provided for in Article 2 (1) (a) or (b) of the Directive;
Whereas the grant of an annuity or premium is subject to the condition that the recipients cease working in agriculture and, if the recipient is a farmer, that he either sells or leases at least 85 % of his land to farms which are undergoing modernization pursuant to Directive 72/159/EEC, withdraws it from agricultural use, or sells or leases it to a land agency which must put the land to one of the abovementioned uses;
Whereas Member States may, on the ground of the age/or means of the prospective beneficiary, vary the amount of an annuity or premium or refuse to grant the same ; whereas they may reduce the annuity granted to permanently hired or family workers by the amount of any unemployment benefit which the beneficiary receives;
Whereas Articles 32 to 47 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 are consistent with the aim of Directive 72/160/EEC;
Whereas the basic aim of Title I of Directive 72/161/EEC is to enable those engaged in agriculture, and in particular persons who must fundamentally alter the nature of their activity, to take decisions on their future occupations and those of their children with full knowledge of the opportunities available and of the consequences of their choice;
Whereas to that end the Member States are therefore required: - under Articles 2 (1) and 3 of Directive 72/161/EEC to create and develop services providing socio-economic guidance, such services being either public or expressly appointed and approved for that purpose by the Member States, or to create and develop within services already existing departments for the provision of such guidance;
- under Articles 2 (2) and 4 to introduce appropriate basic and advanced training programmes for socio-economic counsellors and to bear the cost of training such counsellors;
Whereas under the first indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive 72/161/EEC, the Guidance Section of the EAGGF refunds to Member States 25 % of a standard amount of 7 500 units of account in respect of each counsellor providing socio-economic guidance, within the meaning of Article 3 of the Directive, beginning his duties for the first time;
Whereas under the second indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive 72/161/EEC, the Guidance Section of the EAGGF refunds to Member States 25 % of the cost of training, within the meaning of Article 4 of the Directive, up to an overall amount of 4 500 units of account for each counsellor trained to provide socio-economic guidance within the meaning of Article 3 of the Directive;
Whereas the measures provided for in Articles 48 to 54 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 are consistent with the aim of Title I of Directive 72/161/EEC;
Whereas the basic aim of Title II of Directive 72/161/EEC is to give persons aged 18 or over engaged on agriculture the opportunity to acquire new agricultural skills, or to improve those which they already possess, so that they are in a position to integrate into modern agriculture;
Whereas to that end the Member States are therefore required under Articles 5 (1) and 6 (1) of Directive 72/161/EEC to introduce, in addition to the normal agricultural training provided in their country, measures designed to give farmers and hired and family agricultural workers further training of a general, technical and economic nature;
Whereas under the third indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive 72/161/EEC, the Guidance Section of the EAGGF refunds to Member States 25 % of the expenditure incurred in respect of such measures, up to a maximum of 1 500 units of account for each person engaged in agriculture having completed a course of basic or advanced vocational training;
Whereas the measures provided for in Articles 55 to 61 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975 are consistent with aim of Title II of Directive 72/161/EEC;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,
1. Articles 11 to 31 of Law No 153 of 9 May 1975, notified by the Government of Italy, the Ministerial Decrees of 7 November 1975 and the Circulars of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry listed in the preamble, satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC, subject to authorization from the Council pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of that Directive.
2. Articles 32 to 47 of Law 153 of 9 May 1975, notified by the Government of Italy, satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 6 of Directive 72/160/EEC.

of 5 December 2008
concerning the non-inclusion of sulphuric acid in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2008) 7612)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/937/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (2) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes sulphuric acid.
(3) For sulphuric acid the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 and (EC) No 2229/2004 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. For sulphuric acid the rapporteur Member State was France and all relevant information was submitted in October 2007.
(4) The Commission examined sulphuric acid in accordance with Article 24a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 September 2008 in the format of the Commission review report.
(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, it was concluded, taking into account comments received from Member States, that the existing evidence is not sufficient to finalise the consumer risk assessment and to set a reliable Acceptable Operator Exposure Level (AOEL) and such value is necessary to conduct the operator risk assessment. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member State in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing sulphuric acid satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Sulphuric acid should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing sulphuric acid are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing sulphuric acid should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing sulphuric acid remain available to farmers for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.
(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for sulphuric acid in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Sulphuric acid shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing sulphuric acid are withdrawn by 5 June 2009;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing sulphuric acid are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 5 June 2010 at the latest.

(2) Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that export refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Export refunds for the Dominican Republic have been differentiated to take into account the reduced custom duties applied on imports under the import tariff quota under the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2), approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3). Due to a changed market situation in the Dominican Republic, characterised by increased competition for milk powder, the quota is no longer fully used. In order to maximise the use of the quota, the differentiation of export refunds for the Dominican Republic should be abolished.
(5) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation, subject to the conditions provided for in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 (4).
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 November 2009.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 of 22 July 1993 laying down Community procedures for the authorization and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (1), and in particular Articles 15 (4) and 37 (4) thereof,
Whereas, appropriate provisions should be adopted for the examination of variations to the terms of a marketing authorization of medicinal products which have been authorized in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93;
Whereas, it is appropriate to include a notification system or administrative procedures concernng minor variations for which it is necessary to precisely define minor variations;
Whereas, moreover, it is necessary to distinguish from amongst those variations which do not qualify as minor variations, those which must be considered to so fundamentally alter the marketing authorization, particularly form the point of view of the quality, safety or efficacy of a medicinal product, that a new application for a marketing authorization would be required;
Whereas, the provisions of this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use and the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Scope and definitions
1. This Regulation lays down the procedure for the examination of applications for variations to the terms of a marketing authorization granted in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93.
2. This Regulation does not impede the marketing authorization holder from taking provisional urgent safety restrictions in the event of risk to public or animal health. The holder shall forthwith inform the Agency. If the Agency has not raised any objections within 24 hours, the urgent safety restrictions may be introduced and the corresponding application for this variation shall be submitted without delay to the Agency for the application of the procedures set out in Articles 6 and 7 of this Regulation.
For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply;
1. 'variation to the terms of a marketing authorization': an amendment to the contents of the documents referred to in Article 6 (1) and (2) or Article 28 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 such as they existed at the moment the decision on the marketing authorization has been adopted in accordance with Article 10 or Article 32 of that Regulation or after approval of any previous variations, except where a new application for a marketing authorization must be presented pursuant to Annex II to this Regulation.
2. 'Urgent safety restriction': an interim change to product information by the marketing authorization holder restricting the indication(s), and/or dosage, and/or target species of the medicinal product; or adding a contra-indication, and/or warning due to new information having a bearing on the safe use of the product.
1. (a) A 'minor variation' (type I) means a variation as defined in Article 2 and listed in Annex I to this Regulation, provided the conditions for such variation laid down in the said Annex are met.
(b) A 'major variation' (type II) means a variation as defined in Article 2 which cannot be deemed to be a type I variation within the meaning of the preceding paragraph.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, transfer of marketing authorization to a new holder, except for the situations covered by the point 3 of Annex I to this Regulation, and changes to the maximum residue limit (MRL) shall not be considered as a variation in the meaning of Article 2 (1).
Notification procedure for minor variations
1. To obtain a type I variation, the holder of the marketing authorization shall submit to the Agency an application, accompanied by documents demonstrating that the conditions laid down in Annex I to this Regulation for the requested variation are met, and all documents amended as a result of the application.
2. An application within the meaning of paragraph 1 shall not concern more than one variation in the marketing authorization. Where several variations are to be made to a single marketing authorization, an application shall be submitted within the meaning of paragraph 1 in respect of each variation sought; each such application shall contain a reference to the other application(s).
3. By derogation from paragraph 2, where a variation in the marketing authorization entails one or more further changes, a single application may cover all such consequential variations. The single application shall describe the relation between the main variation and its consequential variations.
4. To be valid an application within the meaning of paragraph 1 shall be consistent with the provisions of this Article and accompanied by the relevant fee provided for in the applicable Community regulation.
1. If, within 30 days of receipt of a valid application as provided for in Article 4, the Agency has not sent the holder of the marketing authorization the notification provided for in paragraph 4, the variation applied for shall be deemed to have been accepted.
2. The Agency shall inform the Commission within the period referred to in the preceding paragraph of the variation to be made to the terms of the marketing authorization. The Commission shall, where necessary, amend the decision taken pursuant to
0
or Article 32 of Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93. The decision thus amended shall take effect retroactively from the day following the end of the period referred to in paragraph 1.
3. The Community Register of Medicinal Products provided for in Articles 12 and 34 of Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 shall be updated as necessary.
4. Where the Agency is of the opinion that the application cannot be accepted, it shall send a notification to that effect to the holder of the marketing authorization within the period referred to in paragraph 1, stating the objective grounds on which its opinion is based:
(a) within 30 days of receipt of the said notification, the marketing authorization holder may amend the application in a way which takes due account of the grounds set out in the notification. In that case the provisions of paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall apply to the amended application.
(b) if the marketing authorization holder does not amend the application as provided for in (a) above, this application shall be deemed to have been rejected.
Approval procedure for major variations
1. To obtain a type II variation, the holder of the marketing authorization shall send the Agency an application accompanied by the relevant particulars and supporting documents referred to in Article 2 (1) of this Regulation.
The application must also be accompanied by:
- the supporting data relating to the variation applied for,
- all documents amended as a result of the application,
- an Addendum to or updating of existing expert report(s) to take account of the variation applied for.
2. An application within the meaning of paragraph 1 shall not concern more than one variation in the marketing authorization.

2. Within that period, the competent Committee may send the marketing authorization holder a single request for information supplementary to that already supplied pursuant to Article 6. In this case, the period shall be extended by a further 60 days. This period may be extended, for a period to be determined by the competent Committee, on its own initiative or at the request of the marketing authorization holder.
1. Where the competent Committee delivers a favourable opinion, the Agency shall so inform the marketing authorization holder and the Commission forthwith and shall send to the Commission the amendments to be made to the terms of the marketing authorization accompanied by the documents set out in Article 9 (3) and Article 31 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93.
2. Where the competent Committee delivers an unfavourable opinion, the appeal procedure provided for in Article 9 (1) and (2) or Article 31 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93 shall apply.

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 as regards the periods during which tenders may be submitted in response to the second and subsequent partial invitations to tender for the 2011/2012 marketing year for imports of sugar at a reduced customs duty
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), and in particular Article 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 (2) opened a standing invitation to tender for the 2011/2012 marketing year for imports of sugar of CN code 1701 at a reduced customs duty.
(2) As the availability of supply on the Union sugar market has improved, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 57/2012 (3) suspended the submission of tenders for the partial invitation to tender ending on 25 January 2012, 1 February 2012 and 15 February 2012.
(3) Constant monitoring of the market revealed that availability of sugar supply in the Union has improved only moderately. Despite the increasing imports in January 2012 the pace of imports from African, Caribbean and Pacific States and Least Developed Countries decreased considerably since mid-February 2012. This analysis was confirmed by a large majority of Member States in the Management Committee of 8 March 2012 who considered that there were still supply problems that would get worse in the course of the marketing year. This could concern especially small and medium Enterprises and customers with fixed quantities in long term contracts.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to advance the periods of submission of tenders and their ending dates which Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 scheduled for 6 June 2012, 27 June 2012 and 11 July 2012.
(5) Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to give a rapid signal to the market and to ensure efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
In Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
"2. The periods during which tenders may be submitted in response to the second and subsequent partial invitations shall begin on the first working day following the end of the preceding period. They shall end at 12 noon, Brussels time, on 2 May 2012, 23 May 2012 and 6 June 2012."

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001(2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/45/EC of 16 June 1992 on public health and animal health problems relating to the killing of wild game and the placing on the market of wild game meat(3), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC(4), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC(5), as last amended by Commission Decision 2003/42/EC(6), and in particular Article 10,
Whereas:
(1) The animal health and veterinary certification conditions for imports of fresh meat from certain African countries are laid down by Decision 1999/283/EC(7), as last amended by Decision 2002/646/EC(8).
(2) The animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions for import of wild and farmed game meat and rabbit meat from third countries are laid down by Decision 2000/585/EC(9), as last amended by Decision 2002/646/EC.
(3) An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was confirmed in Botswana in the approved EC zone number 6 on 7 January 2003, with the initial infection on the holding detected on 23 December 2002, and the competent veterinary authority of Botswana immediately suspended exports of de-boned fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine species and farmed and wild ungulates to the Community from the whole of the country.
(4) The Botswanan authorities are carrying out emergency vaccination and investigations on the outbreak in order to assess the situation in the country. However, while the outcome of this assessment is not available it is not possible to regionalise Botswana to allow importation of de-boned fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine species and farmed and wild ungulates.
(5) In this situation, the importation of fresh meat from Botswana may constitute a risk of introducing foot-and-mouth disease in the territory of the Community. In consequence importation of de-boned fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine species and farmed and wild ungulates should be temporarily suspended from the previously approved zones of Botswana.
(6) However, the Botswanan authorities have provided detailed information on en route consignments of fresh meat sent to the Community, with guarantees that those consignments were produced before the date of infection. Therefore, these consignments and consignments obtained from animals slaughtered before the date of infection should be authorised for importation into the territory of the European Union.
(7) The provisions of this Decision shall be reviewed within three months in particular in the light of the disease evolution and further information received from the authorities of Botswana.
(8) Decisions 1999/283/EC and 2000/585/EC must be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Annex II to Decision 1999/283/EC is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Decision.
2. In Annex III to Decision 1999/283/EC, footnote 5 of the health attestation in model A is deleted.
1. Annex II to Decision 2000/585/EC is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Decision.
2.

This Decision shall be reviewed within three months in the light of the evolution of the foot-and-mouth disease situation in Botswana.
This Decision shall apply from 7 February 2003.

The basis for calculating the refund is laid down in Article 3 of that Regulation. The refund thus calculated, differentiated where necessary for potato starch, must be fixed once a month and may be amended if the price of maize and/or wheat changes significantly.
(2) The production refunds fixed in this Regulation should be adjusted by the coefficients listed in the Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 to establish the exact amount to be paid.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional measures
(1) The Commission by Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of certain thermal paper originating in Japan and falling within CN codes ex 3703 90 90 (Taric code: 3703 90 90 * 10) and ex 4810 11 90 (Taric code: 4810 11 90 * 10). Council Regulation (EEC) No 103/92 (3) extended the duty for a period not exceeding two months.
B. Subsequent procedure
(2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the interested parties who so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. They also made written submissions making known their views on the findings.
(3) Parties were informed in writing of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive duties and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of a provisional duty. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure.
(4) The oral and written comments submitted by the parties were considered and where appropriate, the Commission findings were modified to take account of them.
C. Product
(5) In view of observations made by the Customs administrations of certain Member States concerning problems at import clearance, the Commission re-examined the product description given in recital 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91. It was found that the expression 'thermal paper. . . destined to be used in machines . . . which print facsimiles . . .' was inadequate and should be replaced by the term 'telefax paper'. The Council supports the Commission's view.
(6) One Japanese producer reiterated the points it made prior to the imposition of provisional duties, namely that telefax paper presented in jumbo reels or coils constitutes two separate products and that its exports of coils were not causing injury to the Community industry. The Council, however, supports the Commission's view that telefax paper in the form of jumbo reels and coils constitutes one single category of product and it confirms the conclusions of recitals 10 to 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91.
(7) During the Commission's investigation, it was found that, apart from the CN codes indicated in the notice of initiation of the proceeding (4), several other codes were also being used for imports into the Community of the product concerned.
Accordingly, the Commission services published a notice (5) advising the parties known to be concerned of the inclusion of these other CN codes in the proceeding.
There was no reaction from interested parties to this notice.
As a result also of the discussions held subsequent to the initiation of this proceeding at the level of the Customs Cooperation Council (CCC) concerning the correct classification of telefax paper, the Council of the European Communities confirms the Commission's view that measures should also apply to all CN codes under which the product under consideration can, within the framework of existing customs legislation, be imported.
The Commission has therefore concluded that the information that it possesses and has verified constitutes a valid basis for the establishment of dumping margins, the assessment of injury and the calculation of appropriate duties for the product falling under all the CN codes concerned.
D. Dumping
(8) In the light of its own overall net profit, one Japanese company claimed that the reasonable profit of 18 % on cost of production used for constructing normal value was too high. The profit margin for this company's profitable sales, calculated in accordance with Article 2 (B) (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, was indeed found to be less than the 18 % margin used. Accordingly, the percentage of profit used for constructing normal value for this company has, where necessary, been reduced.
For the remaining companies, the Council considers that, in view of their profitability during the investigation period, 18 % is a reasonable profit margin for constructing normal value and confirms the conclusions set out in recitals 13 to 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91.
No further information was received, and the Council therefore confirms that the definitive weighted average dumping margins expressed as a percentage of the cif value for each of the companies concerned are as follows:
- Jujo Paper Co., Ltd, Tokyo: 0,0 %,
- Kanzaki Paper Manufacturing Co., Ltd, Tokyo: 10,3 %,
- Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd, Tokyo: 15,5 %,
- Tomoegawa Paper Co., Ltd, Tokyo: 24,8 %.
The Council confirms the Commission's findings with regard to the 55,3 % dumping margin calculated for the purposes of the residual duty.
E. Injury and cause of injury
(9) No new elements concerning injury were submitted to the Commission following the publication of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91. The Council therefore confirms the conclusions set out in recital 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91.
(10) As far as cause of injury is concerned, one Japanese producer claimed that the impact of its sales to the Community should be examined in isolation and deemed not to have caused injury, as the volume of its exports was small.
(11) The Commission, in accordance with the findings of the Court of Justice, considers that the Community authorities should examine the impact on the Community industry of all dumped imports taken together, even if the export volume of an individual company is relatively low.
The Council therefore confirms the Commission's view that, for the purpose of determining injury, the exports of this company should not be treated separately from those of the other Japanese companies.
F. Community interest
(12) No new arguments concerning Community interest were brought forward, and the Council therefore confirms the Commission findings set out in Section F of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91 and considers that it is in the Community's interest to impose anti-dumping measures to eliminate the injurious effects of dumped imports originating in Japan.
G. Duty
(13) With regard to the calculation to determine the duty rate necessary to eliminate the injury being suffered by Community industry, the Commission considers that the difference between the actual selling price in the Community of the Japanese product and a sales price which enables Community industry to achieve an 18 % profit on turnover, should be removed.
(14) For the reasons given in recital 46 of Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91, an 18 % profit margin is the minimum necessary to render possible additional investments in manufacturing facilities and research and development. Taking into account the fast changing nature of the industry concerned and the continual need to adapt paper to suit new hardware, the Commission is of the opinion that, without this profit margin, the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry would inevitably be exacerbated and the injury caused by dumping would remain.
(15) The Council therefore confirms the Commission findings with regard to the injury threshold established in Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91; however, as the injury correction figures calculated for the cooperating companies are higher than the dumping margins established, it is the latter which are to be the basis for applying the duty. With regard to the residual duty, the injury correction figure was less than the dumping margin and the former will therefore be taken into account.
(16) On the basis of calculations of dumping and injury described in Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91 and the submissions subsequently received, the Council therefore concludes that duties should be imposed to eliminate the level of dumping found for Kanzaki Paper Manufacturing Co., Ltd, Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd and Tomoegawa Paper Co., Ltd. No duty should be applied to Jujo Paper Co., Ltd, which was found not to be dumping.
(17) As far as the other companies are concerned, the Council, for the reasons given in recital 49 of Regulation 2805/91, confirms that, as provided for in Article 7 (7) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the duty to be imposed on these companies should be based on the facts available.
(18) The Commission has noted a continuing decline in import prices and therefore considers anti-dumping duty in ad-valorem form to be inappropriate to remedy the injury caused to the Community industry. The Council agrees and concludes that a specific duty, calculated and applied on a weight basis, would be more appropriate.
(19) Accordingly, the amount of anti-dumping duty for the product under consideration shall be ECU 1 275,15 per tonne (net weight), except when manufactured by the following companies, for whom the amount of anti-dumping duty is set out below:
- Kanzaki Paper Manufacturing Co., Ltd: ECU 211,55 per tonne (net weight),
- Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd: ECU 395,00 per tonne (net weight),
- Tomoegawa Paper Co., Ltd: ECU 563,75 per tonne (net weight).
No anti-dumping duties should apply to goods manufactured by Jujo Paper Co., Ltd.
H. Undertaking
(20) One Japanese producer, Tomoegawa Paper Co. Ltd has offered an undertaking which is considered acceptable. The undertaking will increase the price of the products in question to a level sufficient to eliminate the dumping established by the Commission.
Following consultations with the Member States, the undertaking was accepted by Commission Decision 92/177/EEC (6).
I. Collection of the provisional duties
(21) In view of the size of the dumping margins established and of the serious nature of the injury caused to the Community industry, the Council considers it necessary that the amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty for all companies should be collected definitively to the extent of the amount of the definitive duty imposed,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of telefax paper originating in Japan and falling within CN codes:
- ex 3703 10 00 (Taric code 3703 10 00 * 10),

- ex 4823 59 90 (Taric code 4823 59 90 * 10).
2. The amount of anti-dumping duty for the product specified in paragraph 1 shall be ECU 1 275,15 per tonne (net weight) (Taric additional code 8602), except when manufactured by the following companies for whom the amount of anti-dumping duty is set out below:
- Kanzaki Paper Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Tokyo (Taric additional code 8598) ECU 211,55 per tonne (net weight) (Taric additional code 8598);
- Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd, Tokyo (Taric additional code 8599) ECU 395,00 per tonne (net weight).
3. No anti-dumping duties shall apply to goods manufactured by Jujo Paper Co., Ltd, Tokyo (Taric additional code 8601) or Tomoegawa Paper Co., Ltd, Tokyo (Taric additional code 8600).
4. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed under Regulation (EEC) No 2805/91 shall be definitively collected to the extent of the amounts secured and to the extent of the amounts resulting from the application of the definitive duty as fixed in Article 1 (2).
Secured amounts in excess of these amounts will be released.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas to compensate for the lower farm incomes resulting from reductions in prices expressed in national currency brought about in Germany by the adaptation of agricultural conversion rates, Council Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 of 21 March 1984 on the calculation and dismantlement of the monetary compensatory amounts applying to certain agricultural products (4), provided that, subject to certain specified conditions, a special national aid granted through the value added tax (VAT) system was compatible with the common market; whereas the aid provisions laid down in that Regulation are not limited in time; whereas Twentieth Council Directive 85/361/EEC of 16 July 1985 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax; derogations in connection with the special aids granted to certain farmers to compensate for the dismantlement of monetary compensatory amounts applying to certain agricultural products (5), laid down the conditions under which VAT could be used for the grant of this special aid;
Whereas the Council, when adopting Directive 85/361/EEC, noted that the consequences of the dismantlement of monetary compensatory amounts are temporary and degressive; whereas farm incomes in Germany have recently developed in an unsatisfactory manner; whereas the said Directive expired on 31 December 1991; whereas it is therefore appropriate to provide for an income support benefit for the farm sector in Germany in 1992;
Whereas the mechanism for granting aid as laid down in Directive 85/361/EEC is production-linked; whereas the need to support incomes for 1992 temporarily could be met more appropriately by national farm support measures; whereas due account should be taken of the farm structure in the Laender of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas the aid provided for in Council Decision 88/402/EEC of 30 June 1988 on aid to farmers in the Federal Republic of Germany (6) should be granted notwithstanding this Decision,
Without prejudice to Decision 88/402/EEC, Germany is hereby authorized to grant to farmers, from 1 January 1992 until 31 December 1992, special national aid which is not linked to prices or to production, under the following conditions:
1. Individual farmers shall qualify for aid per hectare of utilized agricultural area of their holdings; however, the aid per holding shall not be less than DM 1 500 and shall not exceed DM 16 000 per year. This aid shall be paid on a one-off basis.
2. Germany may lay down that farmers who cooperatively work the same holding on 1 January 1992 receive the aid specified in point 1. The ceiling on area and maximum amount shall be multiplied by the number of farmers in the cooperative.
3. In principle, only farmers who are members of the German farm retirement pension scheme (GAL) may qualify for this scheme;
4. Derogations from point 1 except as regards the one-off payment and from point 3 shall be applied to the extent necessary to take account of the farm structure in the new Laender.
5. Germany shall fix the unit amount referred to at point 1, the conditions of point 4, and all other implementing details in such a way as to ensure that the overall volume of the special aid does not exceed DM 2 200 million.
1. Germany shall notify to the Commission drafts of detailed provisions and of any further amendments relating to the implementation of the aid scheme referred to in Article 1.
At the request of the Commission, it shall provide further guidance information.
2. Germany may not implement the relevant provisions before such time as the Commission has ascertained their compatibility with the stipulations set out in Article 1.
The Commission shall decide on whether to approve the draft provisions within two months from the date of receiving them.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1991/92 of 13 July 1992 establishing a special scheme for raspberries intended for processing
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the situation with regard to Community production of raspberries for processing has worsened; whereas this is the result not only of a growth in competition from third countries but also, to a large extent, of structural deficiencies in production and marketing in regions where such production plays an important role;
Whereas the formation of producers' organizations and the definition of their role must be a prior condition for any measures to overcome deficiencies in production and marketing; whereas recognition must be subject to compliance with certain special rules intended to reinforce their stability and increase their role; whereas, after recognition, such organizations can make an effective contribution to the adjustment of the sector by submitting a programme of various measures; whereas the drafting of such programmes involves considerable expenditure; whereas, therefore, a special one-off grant should be provided for the said organizations;
Whereas, to ensure the effectiveness of the measures provided for, a minimum threshold of production marketable by each producers' organization should be laid down;
Whereas the objectives of the programme, known as the programme 'to improve the competitiveness of the sector producing raspberries for processing', are to promote the disposal of production and reduce production costs; whereas, in order to achieve these objectives, individual measures to be implemented by each producers' organization and other measures to be implemented by the producers' organization(s) in a single production zone should be laid down and at the same time cooperation with competent technical or scientific institutes and/or bodies or with processors should be provided for;
Whereas the programme is to be approved, with the agreement of the Commission, by the national authorities for a maximum period which is equal to a normal planting cycle of eight years and its implementation is to be facilitated by the grant of joint financial assistance from the Member States concerned and the Commission; whereas, however, the amount of such aid should be limited for certain measures;
Whereas this Regulation is intended to safeguard the interests of producers in a sector facing difficulties and to maintain or increase their market access; whereas, therefore, the measures laid down should be considered as intervention intended to stabilize the market,
The measures provided for in this Regulation shall apply to Community producers of raspberries falling within CN code ex 0810 20 10 intended for processing.
1. Producers' organizations involved in the production and marketing of raspberries as referred to in Article 1 which comply with rules to be laid down intended to reinforce their stability and increase their role shall be recognized by the competent authorities of the Member States under this Regulation provided that their members produce more than 1 000 tonnes in the marketing year preceding the application for recognition.
The marketing year shall run from 1 June to 31 May.
Application for recognition shall be made to the competent national authorities within a time limit to be determined from the entry into force of this Regulation.
2. Member States shall pay a one-off flat-rate grant to recognized producers' organizations which have submitted, pursuant to this Regulation, a programme to improve the competitiveness of the sector producing raspberries for processing which is approved by the competent national authorities.
3. The grant provided for in paragraph 2 shall be fixed at ECU 50 per tonne of raspberries marketed for processing by the producers' organization, normally during the first marketing year following special recognition. A total of 50 % of the aid granted shall be reimbursed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section.
4. Member States shall notify the Commission of producers' organizations recognized pursuant to paragraph 1, the size of their membership and the volume of produce marketed by each organization during the first marketing year following recognition.
1. The programme to improve the competitiveness of the sector producing raspberries for processing, presented by the recognized producers' organizations, must be designed to improve the disposal of raspberries for processing and to reduce production costs.
2. The programme must be submitted within 12 months following the date of recognition of the producers' organizations at the latest.
1. To achieve these objectives, the programme shall include:
(a) measures to be submitted and implemented by each producers' organization;
and
(b) measures to be submitted and implemented jointly by producers' organizations representing at least producers in a single production zone.
2. The measures referred to in 1 (b) may also be submitted and implemented by a single producers' organization where the producers in a single production zone are represented by a single organization.
1. The measures referred to in Article 4 (1) (a) shall be as follows:
(a) measures intended to mechanize the harvest;
(b) measures relating to existing plantations with a view to cultivation and/or varietal improvement;
(c) measures providing technical advice for the implementation of the above measures.
2. The measures referred to in Article 4 (1) (b) shall be as follows:
(a) measures for the scientific preparation and dissemination of measures to overcome weaknesses in production structures through varietal improvement, disease control, the suitability of harvested products for processing and the tailoring of their characteristics to the needs of the processing industry.
These measures shall be submitted and implemented in cooperation with competent institutes and bodies;
(b) measures for the development of new products and/or new uses for processed products.
These measures shall be submitted and implemented in cooperation with one or more processors;
(c) the carrying-out of an economic study into the development potential of the market for fresh raspberry products with the aim of examining the possibilities of redirecting a proportion of the region's production of raspberries towards the fresh fruit market.
3. The programme shall include at least two of the measures referred to in paragraph 1 or, where appropriate, two of the measures referred to in paragraph 1 and two of the measures referred to in paragraph 2.
1. The programme shall run for a maximum period of eight years from the 1992/93 marketing year.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission of the programmes submitted to them by producers' organizations. The Commission may, within 60 days, request amendments or reject the plans.
3. Programmes accepted or amended by the Commission shall be approved by the competent authority of the Member State. Programmes approved shall be granted Community aid of 40 % of the expenditure incurred provided that producers' organizations and the Member State finance 35 % and 25 % respectively of the said expenditure.
Member State and Community aid shall be limited to ECU 1 100 per hectare per year in total over three years from the year of implementation for measures relating to plantations with a view to cultivation and/or varietal improvement.
The aid provided for in this Regulation shall be considered as intervention intended to stabilize the agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3). It shall be financed by the EAGGF, Guarantee Section.
The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for application of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4). The rules shall include appropriate measures to ensure control of the use of Community financial assistance and special provisions to guarantee the correct functioning of producers' organizations.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 202/2001
of 31 January 2001
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation 1527/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2001.

of 17 October 2014
correcting Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 as regards the notification of significant net short positions in sovereign debt
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 on short selling and certain aspects of credit default swaps (1), and in particular Article 3(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 (2) specifies, according to the empowerment provided in Article 3(7)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, the method of calculating positions for legal entities within a group that have long or short positions in relation to a particular issuer. Article 13 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 provides the method of calculating positions both for issued share capital and issued sovereign debt. However, Article 13(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 currently only refers to the notification threshold of Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, on significant net short positions in shares, while it should also refer to the notification threshold of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 on significant net short positions in sovereign debt.
(2) To avoid legal uncertainty, Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012 should therefore be corrected accordingly,
In Article 13(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 918/2012, the first sentence is replaced by the following:
‘3. When a net short position reaches or crosses the notification threshold in accordance with Articles 5 and 7 or the disclosure threshold in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012, a legal entity within the group shall report and disclose in accordance with Articles 5 to 11 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2012 the net short position in a particular issuer calculated according to paragraph 1 provided that no net short position at group level calculated according to paragraph 2 reaches or crosses a notification or disclosure threshold.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 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 Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food(1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 194/97 of 31 January 1997 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1566/1999(3), establishes maximum levels for aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin total in certain foodstuffs. Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs(4), as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2375/2001(5), will repeal and replace Regulation (EC) No 194/97 with effect from 5 April 2002.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 194/97 provided that the maximum levels for nuts and dried fruit to be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment before human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs were to be reconsidered before 1 July 2001 in the light of advances in scientific and technological knowledge, in particular regarding the effectiveness of sorting or other treatments in reducing the aflatoxin content.
(3) In that connection, only data with regard to almonds have been submitted. The data demonstrated that through the various sorting and physical treatments the aflatoxin content of unprocessed almonds was significantly reduced in the final consumer product. However, given the variability of the data, it is difficult to assess to what extent the reduction takes place. It is appropriate therefore to maintain the current maximum levels, it being understood that they are subject to review.
(4) With regard to cereals to be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment before human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs, Regulation (EC) No 194/97 provided that in so far as no specific level were fixed before 1 July 2001, the levels established for cereals intended for direct consumption would apply thereafter. The reason for this was that, in the case of cereals, it cannot be excluded that sorting methods or other physical treatments can reduce the level of contamination of aflatoxins but the real effectiveness of these methods remains to be demonstrated. It was also provided that, in the absence of data justifying the fixing of a specific maximum level for unprocessed cereals, the levels of 2 Îźg/kg aflatoxin B1 and 4 Îźg/kg aflatoxin total were to apply.
(5) In that connection, only data with regard to maize have been submitted. Although continuous monitoring was performed for more than two years, only a limited number of lots were found to be contaminated. Consequently, the possibility of demonstrating the effectiveness of sorting, cleaning and other physical treatments was limited. On the basis of these limited data, it is evident that through the various sorting and physical treatments the aflatoxin content of unprocessed maize can be significantly reduced after cleaning in the final consumer product (flaking grits, other grits). The aflatoxin contamination was mainly concentrated in the screenings (waste) and to a lesser extent in maize germ, bran meal and broken maize (products for animal feed). Since the data are limited and variable, it is not possible to assess quantitatively and with certainty to what extent this reduction can be achieved. As more data are needed before drawing final conclusions, it is appropriate to extend for maize, and this for the last time, the period for which no level is set.
(6) For raw cereals other than maize, no data have been submitted and therefore the maximum levels established for cereals intended for direct human consumption should apply as from 1 July 2001 also to cereals to be subjected to sorting or other physical treatment before human consumption or use as an ingredient in foodstuffs.
(7) It is important that these maximum levels enter into force as soon as possible, and remain in force after Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 has replaced Regulation (EC) No 194/97. Both these Regulations should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Point 2.1. Aflatoxins of heading I of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 194/97 is amended as follows:
1. Points 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 are replaced by: ">TABLE>"
2. Footnote 5 is deleted.
3. Footnote 6 is deleted

1. Points 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 are replaced by: ">TABLE>"
2. Footnote 8 is deleted.
3. Footnote 9 is replaced by: "(9) If no specific level is fixed before 1 July 2003, the levels laid down in point 2.1.2.1 of the table will apply thereafter to maize referred to in this point."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Articles 1 and 3 shall apply from the day following such publication. Article 2 shall apply from 5 April 2002.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (1), and in particular the first sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 17(3),
Whereas:
(1) On 12 November 2012, the French authorities have submitted to the Commission a programme for 2013 providing for plant health measures in the French overseas departments. That programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the expected deliverables, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost with a view to a possible Union financial contribution.
(2) The measures provided for in that programme fulfil the requirements of Commission Decision 2007/609/EC of 10 September 2007 on the definition of the measures eligible for Community financing in the programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments, in the Azores and in Madeira (2).
(3) The measures laid down in the programme have been assessed by the Commission and discussed in the Standing Committee on Plant Health of 22-23 November 2012. A revised financial table was provided on 15 February 2013. As a result thereof, the Commission considers that that programme and its objectives meet the requirements of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006.
(4) In accordance with Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006, an appropriate maximum to the Union financial contribution should be set, and payment should be made on the basis of documentation provided by France.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), Union financial contributions to plant-health measures are to be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For the purposes of financial control of those measures Articles 9, 36 and 37 of that Regulation apply.
(6) In accordance with Article 75 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (4) and Article 90(1) of Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (5), the commitment of expenditure from the Union budget shall be preceded by a financing decision adopted by the institution or the authorities to which powers have been delegated, setting out the essential elements of the action involving the expenditure.
(7) The programme submitted by the French authorities on 12 November 2012 and the measures provided for concern the calendar year 2013. Article 112 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 provides that a grant may be awarded for an action which has already begun only where the applicant can demonstrate the need to start the action before the grant is awarded. France has demonstrated the necessity to start this programme as from the beginning of 2013 allowing proper financing and start of execution of these measures before the Union financial contribution laid down in the current Decision is awarded.
(8) This decision constitutes a financing decision within the meaning of Article 75 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 for the maximum amounts authorised of expenditure provided in the co-financing request, as laid down in the programme submitted by France.
(9) The measures provided for in this decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
A Union financial contribution is awarded to France for the implementation of the official programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments for 2013, as specified in Part A of the Annex.
That financial contribution shall be limited to a maximum of 60 % of the total eligible expenditure, as specified in Part B of the Annex, with a maximum of EUR 219 000 (VAT excluded).
1. An advance of EUR 100 000 shall be paid within 60 days after receipt of a request for payment by France.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of, firstly, the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year, secondly, the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetables sector, and thirdly, the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses, including supply of the processing industry;
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers and the difference between the cost of the raw material in the Community and in the major competing third countries;
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 provides for the establishment of a system of monetary adjustment with the aim of correcting production aid by the impact, on the minimum price minus the aid, of the differences between the agricultural conversion rate and the average of the market exchange rates during a period to be determined; whereas, in view of the current market situation and in order to ensure normal competition with third countries, such a system of adjustment should be implemented by applying a coefficient to the aid;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1994/95 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 to be paid to producers for peaches;
and
(b) the production aid referred to in Article 5 of the same Regulation for peaches in syrup and/or natural fruit juice,
shall be as set out in Annex I.
1. A coefficient equal to the impact on the cost price of the difference between the average market exchange rate and the agricultural conversion rate applicable at the beginning of the marketing year shall be applied to production aid.
2. For the application of paragraph 1:
- 'cost price' means the minimum price payable to the producer less the aid,
- 'average market exchange rate' means the average of the rates of the ecu published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, C series, during the first quarter of the year during which the marketing year in question starts, multiplied by the correction factor referred to in Article 1 (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92.
3. The coefficients calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be as set out in Annex II.
Where processing takes place outside the Member State in which the produce was grown, such Member State shall furnish proof to the Member State paying the production aid that the minimum price payable to the producer has been paid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks which are assigned to it by the Treaty, and in particular by Articles 2, 92, 117, 118, 122 and 123 thereof, the Commission must be acquainted with the situation and developments in employment and unemployment;
Whereas the statistical information available in each of the Member States does not provide a suitable basis for comparison, particularly because of the differences between the laws, rules and administrative practices of the Member States on which those statistics are based;
Whereas the best method of ascertaining the level and the structure of employment and unemployment consists in carrying out a harmonized and synchronized Community labour force sample survey, as has been done regularly in the past;
Whereas, in a period of continuing and increasing difficulties on the labour market and of structural changes in the employment sector, annually up-dated information must be made available;
Whereas the information needs arising from the single market will require further development of the surveys;
Whereas the quality and reliability of survey results at regional level need to be imported in view of their application to the objectives of the structural funds,
In the spring of 1990 and 1991, the Statistical Office of the European Communities shall conduct a labour force sample survey for the Commission based on a sample of households in each of the Member States.
The survey shall be carried out in each of the Member States in a sample of households of persons having their residence in the territory of those States at the time of the survey. Member States shall use their best endeavours to prevent double counting of persons with more than one residence.
The information shall be collected for each member of the households included in the sample. In cases where one member of a household provides information for other members, this shall be clarly indicated.
The sample shall comprise between 60 000 and 100 000 households in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain, between 30 000 and 50 000 in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Greece and Portugal, between 15 000 and 30 000 in Denmark and approximately 10 000 in Luxembourg.
The survey shall cover:
(a) the individual characteristics of all members of the household questioned, namely: sex, age, marital status, nationality, type of household in which the person is living and surveyed, type of family relationship within the household. The members of one household shall be identified by a joint serial number and a code designating the State and region in which the household is questioned;
(b) situation with regard to economic activity of these persons at the time of the survey and characteristics of their work as follows: occupation, occupational or professional status, economic activity, number of hours usually and actually worked and reasons for any difference between the two; full or part-time work, permanent or temporary work and any paid second job;
(c) attempts to find work, with, in particular the following information: the type and extent of the work sought, the conditions and reasons, methods and length of time spent seeking work, whether unemployment benefit or aid is being received, the situation directly preceding the start of the search for work and the availability for work or the reasons for not being available;
(d) the highest level of education or training completed: the type and purpose of educational and training courses in which persons aged from 14 to 49 have recently taken part;
(e) work experience of persons of working age without work, including the characteristics of the last job and the time of, and reasons for, its coming to an end; (f) the situation of the members of the household one year before the present survey, including: country and region of residence, position with regard to economic activity and, if employed, economic activity and occupational status of the job held.
The information shall be gathered by the statistical services of the Member States on the basis of questions drawn up by the Commission in cooperation with the competent services of the Member States.
The Commission shall determine, in collaboration with the Member States, the details of the survey, in particular the starting and closing dates and the deadlines for transmission of the results. The statistical services of the Member States shall see to it that the nature of the sample is representative according to practice in the Member States, which may, in certain cases, make the provision of replies compulsory. They shall take the necessary measures to see that at least a quarter of the survey units are taken from the preceding survey and that a proportion of at least a quarter may form part of a subsequent survey. These two groups shall be identified by a code.
Member States shall endeavour to ensure that the information requested is furnished truthfully and in its entirety within the period specified. They shall ensure that the survey provides a reliable foundation for a comparative analysis at Community level as well as at the level of the Member States and certain regions. The statistical services of the Member States shall forward to the Statistical Office of the European Communities the results of the survey, duly checked, for each person questioned, without any indication of name of address.
The Statistical Office of the European Communities is to be responsible for the processing, analysis and dissemination of the survey results.
Items of information relating to individuals provided in the context of the survey may be used for statistical purposes only. They may not be used for fiscal or other purposes and may not be communicated to third parties.
The Member States and the Commission shall take the requisite steps to penalize any infringement of the obligation under the first subparagraph to preserve the confidentiality of the information gathered.
The Statistical Office of the European Communities and the Member States shall jointly prepare the necessary methodological and logistical changes to the survey in order to respond to the new information needs at national and regional level arising from the single market.
For carrying out the survey, the Member States shall receive payment comprising a fixed sum plus a contribution based on the number of households having participated.
The necessary resources for the development and management of the labour force surveys shall be allocated to the Commission.
These monies are to be paid from the funds provided for this purpose in the general budget of the European Communities.

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 Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 47(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 provides for a ceiling for the expenditure to be financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (‘the Union contribution’) in relation to the aid referred to in Article 103a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and sets up a notification system, under which the Member States concerned inform the Commission of the financial implications of provisionally accepted recognition plans.
(2) The second subparagraph of Article 47(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 requires the Commission to set allocation coefficients on the basis of notifications made by the Member State in accordance with Article 38(4) of that Implementing Regulation and to establish the total available Union contribution per Member State per year.
(3) By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 780/2012 (3) the amounts available for 2012 and 2013 have been fully allocated, and the amounts for 2014 to 2017 have been partially allocated.
(4) On the basis of the information notified by some Member States referred to in Article 125e of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 by 1 July 2013, in accordance with Article 38(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, it appears that, for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, the total amount of the Union contribution claimed has exceeded the maximum amount laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 47(4) of that Implementing Regulation and that, for the years 2017 and 2018, the total amount claimed has not reached that maximum amount. Accordingly, in relation to those Member States an allocation coefficient lower than 100 % has to be set for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 and an allocation coefficient of 100 % for the years 2017 and 2018.
(5) In order to ensure the efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
On the basis of the notifications made by the relevant Member States by 1 July 2013 in accordance with Article 38(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, the allocation coefficients and the resulting total available Union contribution per Member State for the years 2013 to 2018 shall be as 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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3921/92 of 20 December 1992 allocating, for 1993, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (3), provides for 'other species' quotas for 1993;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of 'other species' in the waters of ICES division IV (Norwegian waters south of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1993; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 10 October 1993; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of 'other species' in the waters of ICES division IV (Norwegian waters south of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Belgium for 1993.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1),
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 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opens and provides 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 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2008, which opens a specific subperiod in February 2008 for the import tariff quota for wholly milled and semi-milled rice originating in the United States of America (3).
(2) The February subperiod is the second subperiod in 2008 for the quota with the number 09.4127 provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.
(3) The notification sent in accordance with Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 shows that, for the quota with serial number 09.4127, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of February 2008 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity less than (or equal to) that available.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Articles 5(2)(g) and 6(2)(i) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down rules concerning means of disposal of and ways of using animal by-products. It also provides for the possibility of additional means of disposal of and other ways of using animal by-products, to be approved following consultation of the appropriate scientific committee.
(2) On the basis of opinions issued by the Scientific Steering Committee and of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), to date six processes have been approved as alternative means of disposal of or ways of using animal by-products under Commission Regulation (EC) No 92/2005 of 19 January 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards means of disposal or uses of animal by-products and amending its Annex VI as regards biogas transformation and processing of rendering fats (2).
(3) On the basis of a further application, the EFSA issued an opinion on 13 July 2006 on the safety of a thermo-mechanical process for biofuel production. The conditions under which that process was considered as a safe means of disposal for manure and digestive tract content and Category 3 material should therefore be taken into account by amending Regulation (EC) No 92/2005.
(4) Upon reconsideration of the risks to public and animal health, Category 2 material resulting from the approved biodiesel production process should be permitted for certain technical uses or for transformation into biogas.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 92/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 92/2005 is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
(a) alkaline hydrolysis process as defined in Annex I;
(b) high pressure high temperature hydrolysis process as defined in Annex II;
(c) high pressure hydrolysis biogas process as defined in Annex III;

(e) Brookes gasification process as defined in Annex V; and
(f) combustion of animal fat in a thermal boiler process as defined in Annex VI.
(a) the biodiesel production process as defined in Annex IV, point 1(b)(i); and
(b) the process of combustion of animal fat in a thermal boiler as defined in Annex VI, point 1(c)(i).’;
2. in the title and in the first sentence of Article 3, ‘Annexes I to VI’ is replaced by ‘the Annexes’;
3. Article 4 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 2, the following subparagraph is added:
(b) in paragraph 3, the following point (d) is added:

of 6 December 2013
amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum levels for arsenic, cadmium, lead, nitrites, volatile mustard oil and harmful botanical impurities
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I to that Directive is prohibited.
(2) Certain long-term supply formulations of complementary feed for particular nutritional purposes with a high concentration of trace elements unavoidably contain amounts of arsenic, cadmium or lead exceeding the maximum levels established for these heavy metals in complementary feed. Higher maximum levels for these heavy metals in long-term supply formulations do not, however, entail a risk for animal or public health or the environment as the exposure of the animals to the heavy metals by making use of these specific long-term supply formulations is significantly lower than in the case of other complementary feeds containing trace elements. Therefore it is appropriate to establish higher maximum levels for those heavy metals for such long-term supply formulations, containing high levels of trace elements.
(3) Data have been received indicating that the level of arsenic in the feed additive ferrous carbonate following change of area of production exceeds in certain cases the current maximum level. In order to guarantee the supply of ferrous carbonate on the European market it is appropriate to increase the maximum level of arsenic in ferrous carbonate. This increase does not adversely affect the animal and public health or the environment as the maximum level established for arsenic in complementary feed and complete feed remain unchanged.
(4) Recently, a significant difference has been identified by the European Union Reference Laboratory for heavy metals in feed and food (EURL–HM) between the analytical results obtained by the application of different extraction methods currently used for the determination of lead in kaolinitic clay and feed containing kaolinitic clay (2). Before, no significant differences were observed between the levels of heavy metals in mineral feed by the application of different extraction methods (3). The maximum levels of heavy metals in feed relate ‘to an analytical determination of lead, whereby extraction is performed in nitric acid (5 % w/w) for 30 minutes at boiling temperature’. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the use of that method of extraction for the determination of lead in kaolinitic clay.
(5) As regards nitrite, for products and by-products from sugar beet and sugarcane and from the starch production no maximum level applies for the time being. In the light of developments in scientific and technical knowledge the same should apply to products and by-products from alcoholic drink production.
(6) In the light of developments in scientific and technical knowledge it is appropriate to establish the maximum level for volatile mustard oil in Camelina sativa and derived products to the same level as the maximum level for rapeseed cakes.
(7) The Brassica species have been listed under harmful botanical impurities because of their high volatile mustard oil (expressed as allyl isothiocyanates) content. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its opinion on glucosinolates (allyl isothiocyanates) as undesirable substances in animal feed (4) that adverse effects in animals have been generally correlated to the amount of total glucosinolates in the diet. If the amount of total glucosinolates is measured, impurities caused by the presence of products from Brassica juncea ssp., Brassica nigra and Brassica carinata, would be detected as well. It is therefore appropriate to delete the products, with the exception of the seeds, of these species from Section VI of Annex I on harmful botanical impurities and to establish for feed materials derived from these Brassica species the same maximum level for volatile mustard oil as the maximum level for rapeseed cakes.
(8) It is appropriate to use the denomination for feed materials as provided for in Commission Regulation (EU) No 68/2013 of 16 January 2013 on the catalogue of feed materials (5).
(9) Directive 2002/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/40/EC of 19 July 1995 amending Directive 92/76/EEC recognizing protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 95/4/EC (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 2 (1) (h) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Directive 92/76/EEC of 6 October 1992 recognizing protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community (3), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas under Commission Directive 92/76/EEC certain zones in the Community were recognized as 'protected zones` in respect of certain harmful organisms for a period expiring on 1 July 1995;
Whereas, based on recent new information provided by Greece, Italy and France, it appears that it is no longer appropriate to maintain the 'protected zones` recognized for these countries in respect of, for Greece, Ips sexdentatus Boerner, for Italy, Anthonomus grandis (Boh.) and Glomerella gossypii Edgerton, and for France, Cephalcia lariciphila (Klug.) and Gilpinia hercyniae (Hartig), because these organisms seem to be present locally;
Whereas, also from new information provided by France and Portugal, it appears that the extent of the 'protected zones` recognized for these countries should be amended in respect of, for France, Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al., and for Portugal, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations), because these organisms now seem to be present in parts of the relevant designated 'protected zone`; whereas also the extent of the protected zones recognized for the United Kingdom in respect of Cephalcia lariciphila (Klug.), Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, Gilpinia hercyniae (Hartig), Gremmeniella abietina (Lag.) Morelet, Hypoxylon mammatum (Wahl.) J. Miller and Pissodes spp. (European) and for Portugal in respect of Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, Ips amitinus Eichhof, Ips cembrae Heer, Ips duplicatus Sahlberg and Ips typographus Heer should be modified to take account of the concern in relation to the relevant host plants of these organisms;
Whereas from new information supplied by Sweden and Finland the area of protected zone recognized for Sweden in respect of Leptionotarsa decemlineata Say should be extended and a protected zone should be recognized for Finland in respect of Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say;
Whereas furthermore the recognition of 'protected zones` was provisional until the results of appropriate surveys monitored by Commission experts confirmed that one or more of the harmful organisms in respect of which the zones were recognized as protected zones were not endemic or established in those zones in accordance with Article 2 (1) (h) of Council Directive 77/93/EEC;
Whereas for certain protected zones further developments on the harmful organisms concerned and their respective surveys have occurred; whereas it is, therefore, appropriate to extend the provisional recognition for a further period to enable information on the developments to be evaluated by the said Commission experts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Article 1 of Directive 92/76/EEC is hereby replaced as follows:
'Article 1
The zones in the Community listed in the Annex are hereby recognized as "protected zones" referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 2 (1) (b) of Directive 77/93/EEC, in respect of harmful organism(s) listed against their names in the Annex; in the case of points (a), 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 11, 14, 15 and 17, (b) 1, 2 and 3, (c) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and (d) 1, 3 and 4 the said zones are recognized for a period expiring on 1 April 1996.
In the case of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden, the said zones shall be recognized until 31 December 1996.`
The Annex to Directive 92/76/EEC is hereby amended as indicated in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive with effect from 1 July 1995. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The procedure for such a reference shall be adopted by Member States.
2. Member States shall immediately communicate to the Commission the essential provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87(1) established a nomenclature of goods called the "Combined Nomenclature", which provides for an exemption from tariff duties for rubber condoms, which fall under Chapter 40.
(2) Polyurethane condoms fall under Chapter 39 and are therefore subject to a customs duty of 6,5 %.
(3) On public health grounds, it is in the interest of the Community autonomously to extend this exemption from customs duties to polyurethane condoms. The Combined Nomenclature and the law referring to it should therefore be amended accordingly,
A reference to a footnote 2 is hereby added to column 3 for CN code 3926 90 99 in Chapter 39, Section VII of Part Two, "Schedule of Customs Duties" of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87. The text of footnote 2 is as follows: "Customs duty is autonomously suspended, for an indefinite period, for sheath contraceptives of polyurethane (TARIC code 3926 90 99 60)".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the application of Directive 75/130/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 82/603/EEC (5), has led to positive results;
Whereas the development of combined transport is in the general interest;
Whereas the continuing development of combined transport over the last few years requires the present Community rules to be amended in order better to exploit the possibilities afforded by the various techniques;
Whereas access by own-account transport to combined transport should be facilitated,
Directive 75/130/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) the third indent of Article 1 (1) shall be replaced by the following:
'- combined transport by inland waterway means the transport of lorries, trailers, semi-trailers with or without tractor, swap bodies and containers of 20 feet or more by inland waterway between Member States, including initial and final sections of road transport runs within a radius of 50 km as the crow flies from the inland-waterway port of loading or unloading.';
(2) Article 4 (1) shall be replaced by the following:
'1. When a frontier is crossed on the road journey before the journey by rail or inland waterway, Member States may require the operator to prove by means of an appropriate document that a reservation has been made for the transport by rail or by inland waterway of the tractor unit, lorry, trailer, semi-trailer, or the swap bodies thereof, and of the container of 20 feet or more.';
(3) Article 9 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 9
Where a trailer or semi-trailer belonging to an undertaking engaged in own-account combined transport is hauled on a final section by a tractor belonging to an
undertaking engaged in transport for hire or reward, the transport operation so effected shall be exempt from presentation of the document provided for in Article 3, but another document shall be provided giving evidence of the journey covered or to be covered by rail or by inland waterway.'.
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 July 1987. They shall inform the Commission thereof.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 192/98 (2), and in particular Article 8(b) thereof,
Whereas the conditions for the taking over of paddy rice by the intervention agencies are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 708/98 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1307/98 (4); whereas Article 6(1) of that Regulation provides that delivery must be effected no later than 31 August of the current marketing year;
Whereas during the 1997/98 marketing year the intervention agencies encountered difficulties in setting up a good system for the storage, checking and reception of goods; whereas these difficulties delayed the acceptance of offers made and the taking over of deliveries; whereas, for the 1997/98 marketing year, these difficulties justify a derogation from the time limit set in the abovementioned provisions for delivery to the intervention agency;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 708/98, delivery of paddy rice for taking over by the intervention agency in respect of the 1997/98 marketing year must be effected no later than 30 September 1998.
