THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the import of products in the sugar sector other than molasses(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 624/98(4), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 stipulates that the cif import price for raw sugar and white sugar, hereinafter known as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/68(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 260/96(6). That price should be fixed for the standard qualities defined in Annex I, point I and II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) When the representative prices are being fixed, the Commission must take account of all available information on offers on the world market, on quotations on the exchanges which are important for world trade in sugar, on prices recorded on important third-country markets, and on sales concluded in international trade of which it has knowledge either directly or through the agency of the Member States. However, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 784/68, the Commission must disregard information if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in an offer relates to a small quantity which is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be assumed not to be representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(3) If information on sugar of the standard quality is to be comparable, the price increases or reductions fixed pursuant to Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 784/68 must be added to or deducted from the offers taken into consideration in the case of white sugar. In the case of raw sugar, the corrective factors provided for in Article 5(1)(b) must be applied.
(4) The representative price is modified only if the variation in the elements used to calculate it would entail an increase or a reduction of not less than 1,20 EUR/100 kilograms in relation to the representative price previously fixed.
(5) 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 1423/95.
(6) It follows from applying these provisions that the representative prices and additional import duties for the products in question should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and additional duties applicable to the import of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1182/2007 of 26 September 2007 laying down specific rules as regards the fruit and vegetable sector amending Directives 2001/112/EC and 2001/113/EC and Regulations (EEC) No 827/68, (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96, (EC) No 2826/2000, (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 318/2006 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 (1), and in particular Article 42(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 (2) provides in particular for a reduction in the minimum size from 1 June 2008 in order to be consistent with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe standard for apples UNECE-FFV-50. However, that standard has been amended and sizing provisions should be updated accordingly.
(2) In order to avoid any conflict with commercial law, any mention of the trade names should be deleted from the list of apple varieties set out in the Appendix to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 85/2004.
(3) It is also necessary to revise that list of varieties, in order to facilitate inspections. Consequently, the synonym ‘Renetta del Canada’ for the variety ‘Reinette blanche du Canada’ should be added and the apple variety ‘Zarja Alatau’ should be included in the same list.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 85/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

(2) The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by specifying the production method, labelling, and adjustments to the rules in force, in particular with regard to monitoring,
(3) The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified.

Whereas, in order to take account of the existing import arrangements in the cereals sector and those resulting from the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the form of exemptions from the import levy on certain dog and cat food falling within CN code 2309 10 11 and certain fish food falling within CN code ex 2309 90 41, originating in, and coming from, the Faroe Islands;

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2006/91/EC
of 7 November 2006
on control of San José Scale
(Codified version)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 94 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 69/466/EEC of 8 December 1969 on control of San José Scale (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified.
(2) The production of woody dicotyledonous plants and their fruit occupies an important place in Community agriculture.
(3) The yield of that production is constantly threatened by harmful organisms.
(4) Through the protection of such plants against such harmful organisms, not only should productive capacity be maintained but also agricultural productivity increased.
(5) Protective measures to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms into individual Member States would have only a limited effect if such organisms were not controlled simultaneously and methodically throughout the Community and were not prevented from spreading.
(6) One of the organisms most harmful to woody dicotyledonous plants is San José Scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comst.).
(7) This pest has occurred in several Member States and there are contaminated areas within the Community.
(8) There is a permanent risk to the cultivation of woody dicotyledonous plants throughout the Community if effective measures are not taken to control this pest and prevent it from spreading.
(9) To eradicate this pest, minimum provisions should be adopted for the Community. Member States should be able to adopt additional or stricter provisions where necessary.
(10) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the timelimits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B,
This Directive concerns the minimum measures to be taken within the Member States to control San José Scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comst.) and to prevent it from spreading.
For the purposes of this Directive, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘plants’ means live plants and live parts of plants with the exception of fruit and seeds;
(b) ‘contaminated plants or fruit’ means plants or fruit on which one or more San José Scale insects are found, unless it is confirmed that they are dead;
(c) ‘San José Scale host plants’ means plants of the genera Acer L., Cotoneaster Ehrh., Crataegus L., Cydonia Mill., Euonymus L., Fagus L., Juglans L., Ligustrum L., Malus Mill., Populus L., Prunus L., Pyrus L., Ribes L., Rosa L., Salix L., Sorbus L., Syringa L., Tilia L., Ulmus L., Vitis L.;
(d) ‘nurseries’ means plantations in which plants intended for transplanting, multiplying or distributing as individually rooted plants are grown.
When an occurrence of San José Scale is recorded, Member States shall demarcate the contaminated area and a safety zone large enough to ensure the protection of the surrounding areas.
The Member States shall provide that, in contaminated areas and safety zones, San José Scale host plants shall be appropriately treated to control this pest and prevent it from spreading.
The Member States shall provide that:
(a) all contaminated plants in nurseries shall be destroyed;
(b) all other plants which are contaminated or suspected of being contaminated and which are growing in a contaminated area shall be treated in such a way that those plants and the fresh fruit therefrom are no longer contaminated when moved;
(c) all rooted San José Scale host plants growing within a contaminated area, and parts of such plants which are intended for multiplication and are produced within that area, may be replanted within the contaminated area or transported away from it only if they have not been found to be contaminated and if they have been treated in such a way that any San José Scale insects which might still be present are destroyed.
The Member States shall ensure that in the safety zones San José Scale host plants are subjected to official supervision and are inspected at least once a year in order to detect any occurrence of San José Scale.
1. The Member States shall provide that in any batch of plants (other than those that are rooted in the ground) and of fresh fruit within which contamination has been found, the contaminated plants and fruit shall be destroyed and the other plants and fruit in the batch treated or processed in such a way that any San José Scale insects which might still be present are destroyed.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to slightly contaminated batches of fresh fruit.
The Member States shall revoke the measures taken to control San José Scale or to prevent it from spreading only if San José Scale is no longer found to be present.
The Member States shall prohibit the holding of San José Scale.
0
1. Member States may authorise:
(a) derogations from the measures referred to in Articles 4 and 5, Article 7(1) and Article 9 for scientific and phytosanitary purposes, tests and selection work;
(b) by way of derogation from point (b) of Article 5 and Article 7(1), the immediate processing of contaminated fresh fruit;
(c) by way of derogation from point (b) of Article 5 and Article 7(1), the movement of contaminated fresh fruit within the contaminated area.
2. The Member States shall ensure that the authorisations provided for in paragraph 1 are granted only where adequate controls guarantee that they do not prejudice the control of San José Scale and create no risk of the spread of this pest.
1
Member States may adopt such additional or stricter provisions as may be required to control San José Scale or to prevent it from spreading.
2
Directive 69/466/EEC is hereby repealed, without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex I, Part B.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. That coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question. In view of the information provided by the United Kingdom on the period 1 January to 31 December 1999, the average ageing period in 1999 was seven years for Scotch whisky. The coefficients for the period 1 July 2000 to 30 September 2001 should be fixed.
(2) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area(3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Therefore, pursuant to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 2000/2001.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 2000 to 30 September 2001, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in the United Kingdom for manufacturing Scotch whisky shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(3) Whereas a reliable information infrastructure must be organised by means of individual statistical actions;
(4) Whereas Council Decision 93/464/EEC of 22 July 1993 on a framework programme for priority actions in the field of statistical information 1993 to 1997(2) specified that the audiovisual sector should be regarded as one of the priority service sectors at Community level and provided for the establishment of a new information system based on the "enterprise" approach and functional statistics;
(5) Whereas Annex I, Title III of the Community Statistical Programme 1998 to 2002(3) refers to the carrying out of user requirement analyses, source assessment, data collection and testing of methods by pilot studies in the audiovisual sector;
(6) Whereas these pilot studies should be reviewed to ensure they meet user requirements; whereas this should be undertaken within two and a half years; whereas the results of this review should be communicated to the European Parliament and the Council; whereas at all stages additional burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should be minimised;
(7) Whereas individual statistical actions are governed by Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics(4);
(8) Whereas, by virtue of the principle of subsidiarity, the objective of the proposed individual statistical actions can be achieved only by a Community legal instrument, as only the Commission is in a position to coordinate the requisite harmonisation of information at Community level;
(9) Whereas, within the framework of the Council of Europe, the European Audiovisual Observatory, of which the Commission is a member, constitutes inter alia an important source of information for its members and their professionals and whereas it is necessary to ensure complementarity between the work undertaken under this Decision and the work of the Observatory;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the competent authorities in Belgium have submitted to the Commission on 25 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Meuse-Vesdre; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas certain measures planned under this Single Programming Document include the part-financing of aid schemes which have not yet been approved by the Commission; whereas the financial commitments should be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the authorities of Belgium has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Meuse-Vesdre (Liège) concerned by Objective 2 in Belgium, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Belgium;
the main priorities are:
1. encouragement and diversification of the industrial base;
2. promotion of technological innovation;
3. increasing attractiveness;
4. sustaining employment growth;
5. technical assistance;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the financial implementation provisions,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the Single Programming Document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 88,5 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 138 million for the public sector and ECU 88 milion for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 75,338 million,
- ESF:ECU 13,162 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 18,349 million,
- ESF:ECU 4,193 million.
In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 7, these commitments do not include the amounts relating to the aid schemes not yet approved by the Commission. The corresponding commitments will be made after the approval of the aid schemes concerned.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the Single Programming Document and on progress in its implementation.
3. The financial contribution will be suspended after the payment of the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 until such time as the Commission has verified the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measure 1.1 'Aid to productive investment` and 1.2 'Increase in risk capital`. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission and hence the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

of 22 August 2002
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 August 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1121/89 of 27 April 1989 on the introduction of an intervention threshold for apples and cauliflowers (5), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Article 16 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 defines the criteria for fixing the intervention threshold for nectarines; whereas it is for the Commission to fix this intervention threshold by applying the percentage defined in paragraph 2 of the said Article to the average production intended for fresh consumption over the last five marketing years for which data are available;
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2240/88 defines the criteria for fixing the intervention thresholds for peaches and lemons; whereas it is for the Commission to fix these intervention thresholds by applying the percentages defined in paragraphs 1 and 2 of the said Article to the average production intended for fresh consumption in the last five marketing years for which data are available; whereas, however, pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1199/90 of 7 May 1990 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons and amending the rules for applying the intervention threshold for lemons (6), the threshold for lemons thus calculated must be increased by a quantity equal to the average quantities of lemons delivered for processing during the 1984/85 to 1988/89 marketing years and paid for at a price at least equal to the minimum price;
Whereas Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1121/89 define the criteria for fixing the intervention thresholds for apples and cauliflowers; whereas it is for the Commission to fix these intervention thresholds by applying the percentages defined in paragraphs 1 of the said Articles to the average production intended for fresh consumption in the last five marketing years for which data are available;
Whereas it is necessary to determine the period of twelve consecutive months on the basis of which the overrun of intervention thresholds for cauliflowers and lemons pursuant to Article 16 (b) (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is calculated;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 18 (b) (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, the production harvested in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic up to the end of the 1991/92 marketing year should not be taken into consideration for establishing the intervention thresholds;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
Article 1
The level of intervention thresholds for cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines, lemons and apples for the 1991/92 marketing year is fixed as follows:

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3975/88 (4), recognizes the equivalence with Community certificates of attestations accompanying hops imported from certain non-member countries, and contains a list of the bodies in those countries authorized to issue attestations of equivalence;
Whereas, since that time, the body authorized by the German Democratic Republic to issue attestations of equivalence, as set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78, has ceased to exist; whereas another body has therefore been authorized to issue these attestations as of 1 July 1990; whereas the respective entry in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 should be therefore amended;
Whereas, due to the accession of the German Democratic Republic to the Federal Republic of Germany, the territory of the German Democratic Republic becomes part of the Community and will no longer be considered a third country; whereas the issuing of attestations of equivalence will no longer be required; whereas the respective entry in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3077/78 should be therefore deleted on the date of the German unification;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1113/2009
of 19 November 2009
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 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 164(2), in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(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 20 November 2009.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 of 18 December 1989 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1990 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3211/90 (2), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 12 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 suspension of customs duties in the context of preferential tariff ceilings is granted within the limits of the individual ceilings set out in column 8 of Annex I to that Regulation in respect of each of the categories of product under consideration; whereas as provided for in the third paragraph of Article 12 of the said Regulation, the Commission may, after 31 December 1990, take measures to stop quantities being charged against any particular preferential tariff limit if these limits were exceeded particularly as a result of regularizations of imports actually made during the preferential tariff period;
Whereas, in respect of the products of category 28 (order No 40.0280) originating in Thailand and Pakistan, and of category 97 (order No 40.0970) originating in China, the relevant ceilings were fixed at 104 000 pieces and four tonnes, respectively; whereas on 1 January 1991, the sum of the quantities charged during the 1990 preferential period has exceeded the ceilings in question;
Whereas it appears desirable to take measures to stop quantities being charged against the said ceilings in respect of Thailand and Pakistan for category 28, and in respect of China for category 97;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3891/90 of 21 December 1990 reintroducing the levying of the customs duties applicable to the products of category No 28 (order No 40.0280) originating in Thailand and Pakistan, to which the preferential tariff arrangements of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 apply (3) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3892/90 of 21 December 1990 reintroducing the levying of the customs duties applicable to the products of category No 97 (order No 40.0970) originating in China, to which the preferential tariff arrangements of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 apply (4) serve no purpose because of a delay in their publication; whereas they should consequently be repealed,
The quantities charged against the tariff ceilings opened by Regulation (EEC) No 3897/89 relating to the products and origins indicated in the table below, shall cease to be allowed from 1 January 1991.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, during the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade negotiations on the introduction of the harmonized system, the customs duty on the import of seaweeds was increased;
Whereas this increase in the customs duty is proving disadvantageous to economic operators; whereas it is therefoe expedient to apply the customs duty in force prior to the negotiations;
Whereas the balance of concessions and obligations under the General Agreement should not, however, be called into question;
Whereas it is expedient to amend the autonomous customs duty applied to seaweeds; whereas, therefore, Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 (1) should be amended accordingly,
The combined nomenclature appearing in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1992.

of 7 April 2015
amending the Annexes to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU as regards the equivalence between officially tuberculosis-free bovine herds in Member States and in New Zealand and the information in the model animal health certificate on the quantity of semen
(notified under document C(2015) 2187)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular Article 8(1), the first subparagraph of Article 10(2), Article 10(3) and Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Commission Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU (2) sets out a list of third countries or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species (‘semen’). New Zealand is included in that list. In addition, in Section A of Part 1 of Annex II to that Implementing Decision the model animal health certificate for imports into and transits through the Union of semen dispatched from the semen collection centre where the semen was collected is set out.
(2) Council Directive 64/432/EEC (3) lays down rules for intra-Union trade in bovine animals and provides for the monitoring and eradication programmes for certain diseases affecting those animals, including tuberculosis. New Zealand has requested for the recognition of its bovine tuberculosis control programme as being equivalent to the monitoring and eradication programmes for bovine tuberculosis that are implemented by the Member States in accordance with the conditions set out in Annex A.I to Directive 64/432/EEC. The information provided by New Zealand on its bovine tuberculosis control programme demonstrates that the bovine tuberculosis status of a bovine herd classified as ‘C2’, under the National Pest Management Strategy for bovine tuberculosis of New Zealand, is equivalent to the bovine tuberculosis status of a bovine herd that is recognised in a Member State as being an ‘officially tuberculosis-free bovine herd’ in accordance with the conditions set out in Annex A.I to Directive 64/432/EEC.
(3) Therefore, the list of third countries or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise imports of semen set out in Annex I and the model animal health certificate set out in Section A of Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU should be amended in order to reflect the special conditions by which the Union recognises the equivalence of the classification of bovine herds as ‘C2’ within the framework of the bovine tuberculosis control programme implemented in New Zealand with the conditions set out in Annex A.I to Directive 64/432/EEC for a bovine herd in a Member State recognised as being an ‘officially tuberculosis-free bovine herd’.
(4) To further reduce administrative burdens for the centre veterinarian and for the official veterinarian, it is appropriate to remove information on the total quantity of the straws of semen in the consignment from point I.28. of the model animal health certificate set out in Section A of Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU as this information is already stated in point I.20. of that model animal health certificate.
(5) In addition, it is necessary to insert in the table in point I.28. of the model animal health certificate set out in Section A of Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU a column where information can be specified as regards the quantity of straws of semen collected on a particular date from an identified donor bull complying with particular conditions for bluetongue and epizootic haemorrhagic disease.
(6) Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) To avoid any disruption of imports into the Union of consignments of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species, the use of animal health certificates issued in accordance with Section A of Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU in their version before the entry into force of this Decision should be authorised during a transitional period subject to certain conditions.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
The Annexes to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
For a transitional period until 30 June 2015, consignments of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species accompanied by the appropriate animal health certificate issued no later than 1 June 2015 in accordance with the model animal health certificate set out in Section A of Part 1 of Annex II to Implementing Decision 2011/630/EU in its version before the entry into force of this Decision, may continue to be introduced into the Union.
This Decision 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 |

| Council Regulation (EC) No 2448/2000
of 7 November 2000
opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products
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) Community supplies of certain fishery products currently depend on imports from third countries. It is in the Community's interest to suspend in part or in whole the customs duties for the products in question, within Community tariff quotas of an appropriate volume. In order not to jeopardise the development prospects of this production in the Community and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to open those quotas, applying customs duties varied accordingly to sensitivity of the different products on the Community market.
(2) It is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up.
(3) The decision for the opening of autonomous tariff quotas should be taken by the Community. To ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorising the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports. However, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly.
(4) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(1), has codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations.
(5) Examination of the situation as regards supplies of tropical shrimps and prawns from South and Central America (shrimp and prawns of the genus Penaeus, except the species Penaeus monodon and Penaeus japonicus) to the Community market has shown that, mainly due to the "white spot syndrome" affecting the species, the user industries are temporarily no longer receiving sufficient supplies. An autonomous tariff quota for a limited quantity and of limited duration should therefore be opened,
1. The import duties on the goods listed in the Annex shall be suspended at the indicated duty rate for the periods considered and in the amounts indicated therein.
2. Imports of the products in question shall not be covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier price, which is determined by the Member States in accordance with Article 22 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(2), is at least equal to the reference price fixed, or to be frixed, by the Community for the products under consideration of the categories of the products concerned.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a to 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
The Member States and the Commission shall co-operate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 November 2000.

Article 6 of that Regulation provides that in the light of the tenders received in response to each special invitation to tender, a maximum amount of aid is to be fixed for concentrated butter with a minimum fat content of 96 % or a decision is to be taken to make no award; the end-use security must be fixed accordingly.
(2) In the light of the tenders received, the maximum aid should be fixed at the level specified below and the end-use security determined accordingly.
(3) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

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, swine, ovine, and caprine animals, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 96/91/EC (2), and in particular Articles 21 (a) and 22 thereof,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC (1), and in particular Article 67 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2003/85/EC sets out minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and certain preventive measures aimed at increasing the awareness and preparedness of the competent authorities and the farming community concerning that disease.
(2) Those preventive measures include an obligation on Member States to ensure that the handling of live foot-and-mouth disease virus for research and diagnosis is carried out only in the approved laboratories listed in Part A and the manufacturing of either inactivated antigens for the production of vaccines or vaccines and related research is carried out only in the approved establishments and laboratories listed in Part B of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC.
(3) Bulgaria has officially informed the Commission that following the checks carried out in accordance with Article 66 of Directive 2003/85/EC, their national reference laboratory is no longer considered to meet the bio-security standards provided for in Article 65(d) of Directive 2003/85/EC.
(4) The Netherlands have officially informed the Commission of certain changes relating to the name of a laboratory listed in Part B of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC situated in the Netherlands.
(5) For security reasons, it is important to keep the list of laboratories set out in Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC updated.
(6) Accordingly, it is necessary to delete the entry for Bulgaria in the list of laboratories set out in Part A and to replace the entry for the Netherlands in the list of laboratories set out in Part B of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC. Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Part A, the entry for Bulgaria is deleted;
2. in Part B, the entry for the Netherlands is replaced by the following:

Having regard to Council Directive 93/75/EEC of 13 September 1993 concerning minimum requirements for vessels bound for or leaving Community ports and carrying dangerous or polluting goods, and in particular Article 5 (4) thereof (1),
Whereas, in order to limit the risks of serious accidents at sea and to reduce the resulting damage, Article 5 of Directive 93/75/EEC provides that the operators of the vessels covered by the Directive shall notify the information listed in Annex I to the said Directive to the competent authorities of the Member State concerned; whereas Article 5 (4) authorizes the Member States to exempt regular scheduled services of less than one hour's crossing time from that notification requirement and allows the Commission to agree to a reasonable extension of this period at the request of a Member State;
Whereas, in a request submitted on 12 July 1995 and amended by letter dated 29 March 1996, France asked the Commission to agree to an extension of this period for the scheduled services between Brest and Le Conquet (crossing time: 2 hours) and between Le Coquet and Ouessant (crossing time: 2 hours 30 minutes);
Whereas the ecological importance and hazards to shipping of the area concerned have led the French authorities to take appropriate measures to ensure a high level of safety for shipping in that area;
Whereas the measures consist of the buoyage of the area and information to sailors by means of appropriate nautical documentation; whereas in addition the Corsen-Ouessant maritime traffic service provides continuous surveillance of shipping in the area by radar and regular radio broadcasts of nautical information for sailors;
Whereas the risk of accident is limited owing to the scarce maritime traffic in the area and measures have been taken to keep vessels carrying dangerous or polluting cargoes away from the coastal navigation area;
Whereas the service in question provides local services between the islands and the mainland; whereas the quantities of pollutant goods on board are small;
Whereas the information required by Annex I to the Directive is available at any time from the operators or captains;
Whereas, in the circumstances, it is justified to accept France's request for exemption of the scheduled services referred to above from the application of Article 5 (2) and (3) of Directive 93/75/EEC,
France is hereby authorized to exempt the scheduled services between Brest and Le Conquet and between Le Conquet and Ouessant from the application of Article 5 (2) and (3) of Directive 93/75/EEC, subject to the following conditions:
- the waters in which the services covered by this Decision operate are duly buoyed and are drawn to the attention of sailors in appropriate nautical documents,
- compliance with the local navigation rules is assured,
- constant contact is maintained, in particular by radio links, with the competent maritime traffic service,
- only small quantities of dangerous or polluting goods, within the meaning of Directive 93/75/EEC, are carried on board,
- the information referred to in Annex I to Directive 93/75/EEC is available from the operators and captains throughout the crossing and can at any time be provided to the authorities of the Member State on request.

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2004.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 15(2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the export refund applicable to cereals on the day on which application for an export licence is made must be applied on request to exports to be effected during the period of validity of the export licence. In this case, a corrective amount may be applied to the refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2) allows for the fixing of a corrective amount for the malt referred to in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (3). That corrective amount must be calculated taking account of the factors referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(3) It follows from applying the provisions set out above that the corrective amount must be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The corrective amount referred to in Article 15(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 which is applicable to export refunds fixed in advance in respect of malt shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 (2), which applies from 1 January 2005, establishes a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States.
(2) In order to align it with the transmission period for aggregated data on intra-Community trade, the transmission period for external trade data should be reduced from 6 weeks to 40 days.
(3) As stated regularly by the Council, the monitoring of the Economic and Monetary Union requires fast delivery of trade statistics.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade (3) should therefore be amended accordingly.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 (2) certain international standards and interpretations that were in existence at 15 October 2008 were adopted.
(2) On 28 January 2010, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published an amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 1 Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time adopters, hereinafter ‘amendment to IFRS 1’. Realising that the relief regarding restatement of comparative disclosures in IFRS 7 concerning fair value measurements and liquidity risk if those comparative periods end before 31 December 2009 is not available to entities that apply IFRS for the first time, the aim of the amendment to IFRS 1 is to provide for an optional relief for those entities.
(3) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that the amendment to IFRS 1 meets the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/505/EC of 14 July 2006 setting up a Standards Advice Review Group to advise the Commission on the objectivity and neutrality of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group's (EFRAG’s) opinions (3), the Standards Advice Review Group considered EFRAG's opinion on endorsement and advised the Commission that it is well-balanced and objective.
(4) The adoption of the amendment to IFRS 1 implies, by way of consequence, amendments to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 7 in order to ensure consistency between international accounting standards.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 is amended as follows:
1. International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 1 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation;
2. IFRS 7 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Each company shall apply the amendments to IFRS 1 and IFRS 7, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation, at the latest, as from the commencement date of its first financial year starting after 30 June 2010.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 39(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) With a view to supplying Community refineries, Article 39(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides for imports of raw cane sugar at a reduced rate of duty in accordance with the agreements concluded with certain supplier countries and subject to the conditions laid down therein. These sugars are called "special preferential sugar".
(2) The quantities imported under these conditions are intended to cover the Member States' presumed maximum supply needs, as fixed in Article 39(2), that cannot be met by alternative supplies of raw sugar for refining.
(3) A forecast supply balance for the 2001/02 marketing year indicates such a need that is not covered. This supply shortfall is being felt notably in the Member States listed in the said Article 39(2) and in which sugar refinery activity depends to a great extent on imports of these special preferential sugars. In view of the staggered production of other available sugars and the fixing of contracts relating thereto, an alternative source of supply is not feasible. In the absence of an agreement with the ACP countries, a break in supply to these Member States is thus inevitable.
(4) The agreements on imports of special preferential cane sugar, applicable in the 1995/96 to 2000/01 marketing years, expired on 30 June 2001. Negotiation of the agreements to cover the period referred to in Article 38(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 has not yet begun. In order to avoid a break in supply to refineries in certain Community regions, in accordance with the Council invitation and having consulted the supplier countries concerned, imports of cane sugar should be authorised under the conditions applying until 30 June 2001 in those Community regions where a supply need has been noted in the forecast supply balance. This measure should cover the supply needs of Portugal and Finland for three months. So as not to prejudice the negotiations mentioned above, provision should currently be made only for sugar of ACP origin.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 407/2001 of 28 February 2001 opening a preferential tariff quota in respect of imports of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States for supply to refineries in the period 1 March to 30 June 2001(2) should apply for the purposes of fixing the import duty and the minimum purchase price.
(6) The rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 of 2 August 1995 laying down detailed rules for application for the importation under preferential agreements on tariff quotas of raw cane sugar for refining(3) should apply to the tariff quota opened by this Decision.
(7) This measure adopted by this Decision applies irrespective of any decisions taken subsequently by the Council as regards the agreements covering the period 2001-06, including any adjustments applicable from 1 July 2001.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Portugal and Finland are hereby authorised to import respectively 60000 and 30000 tonnes of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States listed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 in the first three months of the 2001/02 marketing year.
This tariff quota shall bear the serial number 09.4097.
2. The import duty and the minimum purchase price applicable under the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 407/2001. The relevant provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 shall apply.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Portugal and the Republic of Finland. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

amending Decision 2005/880/EC granting a derogation requested by the Netherlands pursuant to Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources
(notified under document C(2010) 606)
(Only the Dutch version is authentic)
(2010/65/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) If the amount of manure that a Member State intends to apply per hectare each year is different from the one specified in the first sentence of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III to Directive 91/676/EEC and in point (a) thereof, that amount has to be fixed so as not to prejudice the achievement of the objectives specified in Article 1 of that Directive and has to be justified on the basis of objective criteria, such as, in the present case, long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake. On 8 December 2005, the Commission adopted Decision 2005/880/EC (2) allowing the Netherlands the application of 250 kg nitrogen per hectare per year from livestock manure in farms with at least 70 % grassland.
(2) The derogation thus granted concerned approximately 25 000 farms in the Netherlands and approximately 900 000 hectares and applied to the period 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2009. The derogation was granted because:
(a) the Dutch legislation implementing Directive 91/676/EEC included application standards both for nitrogen and phosphate and application standards related to phosphate aimed to achieve an equilibrium in phosphate fertilisation by 2015;
(b) the Netherlands addressed the issue of nutrient surplus from manure and mineral fertilisers through several policy instruments and in the period 1992 to 2002 decreased cattle numbers by 17 %, pigs by 14 % and sheep and goats by 21 %. Nitrogen and phosphorus in manure decreased respectively by 29 and 34 % in the period 1985 to 2002. Nitrogen and phosphorus surpluses decreased respectively by 25 and 37 %, in the period 1992 to 2002;
(c) the available water quality data showed a downwards trend in groundwater nitrate concentration and in nutrient concentration (including phosphorus) in surface water;
(d) the technical and scientific documents presented in the Dutch notification showed that the proposed amount of 250 kg per hectare per year nitrogen from cattle manure in farms with at least 70 % grassland was compatible with the achievement of the level of 11,3 mg/l N (corresponding to 50 mg/l NO3) in water in all soil types, and to approximately a zero phosphorus surplus, under conditions of optimal management;
(e) the technical and scientific documents presented showed that the proposed amount of 250 kg per hectare per year nitrogen from cattle manure in farms with at least 70 % grassland was justified on the basis of objective criteria such as long growing season and crops with high nitrogen uptake.
(3) The Commission considered therefore that the amount of manure requested by the Netherlands would not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of Directive 91/676/EEC, subject to certain strict conditions being met. These conditions included the establishment of fertiliser plans on a farm by farm basis, the recording of fertiliser practices through fertiliser accounts, periodic soil analysis, green cover in winter after maize, specific provisions on grass ploughing, no manure application before grass ploughing and adjustment of fertilisation to take into account the contribution of leguminous crops. These provisions were aimed at ensuring fertilisation based on crop needs and reduction and prevention of nitrogen losses to water.
(4) In order to avoid that the application of the 2006-2009 derogation granted by Decision 2005/880/EC would lead to intensification, the competent authorities were compelled to ensure that manure production both in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus would not increase beyond the level of the year 2002 in accordance with the Dutch third national action programme.
(5) The Netherlands have communicated the maps and reports referred to in Article 8 and Article 10 of Decision 2005/880/EC in time.
(6) On 14 July 2009 the Netherlands submitted to the Commission a request for an extension of the derogation. The request referred to a detailed justification and to the approval of fourth Nitrates Action Programme (2010-2013) by the Dutch House of Representatives. This fourth action programme indicates the (considerable) progress made in line with the conditions of the 2006-2009 derogation and the challenges ahead. It builds further on the third action programme and contains reinforced measures including stricter nitrogen application standards on sandy soils; stricter phosphorus application standards based on the soil phosphorus status and longer closed periods for land application of fertilisers (3). These legal measures aim at a further reduction of nutrient surplus and further improvement of water quality, if need be by further reinforced action beyond the period 2010-2013.
(7) Water quality shows a further downward trend in groundwater nitrate concentration and in nutrient concentration (including phosphorus) in surface water with main effects of the third action programme still to be expected in the upcoming years.
(8) Results of monitoring and controls show that, in the period 2006-2009 approximately 24 000 grassland farms corresponding to approximately 830 000 ha of cultivated land were encompassed by the derogation.
(9) In order to avoid that the application of the requested derogation leads to intensification, the competent authorities should continue to ensure that manure production both in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus does not increase the level of the year 2002.
(10) The results achieved so far by the Netherlands are in line with the conditions set out in Decision 2005/880/EC.
(11) The necessary legal framework for implementing Directive 91/676/EEC and executing the fourth action programme has been adopted and applies equally to the requested derogation.
(12) Given the measures the Netherlands have committed themselves to in the action programme for the period 2010-2013 the Commission considers that the amount of manure requested by the Netherlands for the period 2010-2013 would not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of Directive 91/676/EEC if the same strict conditions established by Decision 2005/880/EC are met.
(13) Decision 2005/880/EC expires on 31 December 2009.
(14) For the purpose of ensuring that the cattle farms concerned may continue to benefit from a derogation, it is appropriate to extend the validity of Decision 2005/880/EC to 31 December 2013 under the same conditions as those set out in articles 4 to 10 of Decision 2005/880/EC.
(15) The deadline for reporting to the Commission, set by Article 10 of Decision 2005/880/EC, should however be adapted and aligned with the deadline for reporting obligations under article 8 of Decision 2005/880/EC.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Nitrates Committee set up pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 91/676/EEC,
Decision 2005/880/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. Article 10, paragraph 1, second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
3. Article 11 is replaced by the following:

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 European Parliament and Council Directive 96/79/EC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) (c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by Germany on 12 February 1997, which was received by the Commission on 17 February 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle;
Whereas the information provided by Germany shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge lamp and these new types of headlamp meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulations Nos 8, 98 and 99; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the three items covered by the request for exemption, i.e. the types of gas discharge lamp, the types of headlamp fitted with these types of lamp and the type of motor vehicle, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval on condition that the type of vehicle concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit;
Whereas the Community directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology, headlamps fitted with such lamps and motor vehicles equipped with such headlamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Germany for an exemption concerning two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle is hereby approved on condition that the vehicle type concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 16 November 2012
adopting a first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region
(notified under document C(2012) 8234)
(2013/30/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1) and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Black Sea biogeographical region referred to in Article 1(c)(iii) of Directive 92/43/EEC comprises parts of the Union territories of Bulgaria and Romania, as specified in the biogeographical map approved on 20 April 2005 by the Committee set up by Article 20 of that Directive, hereinafter the ‘Habitats Committee’.
(2) It is necessary in the context of a process which was initiated in 1995 to make further progress in the actual establishment of the Natura 2000 network, which is an essential element of the protection of biodiversity in the Union.
(3) The initial list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region, within the meaning of Directive 92/43/EEC, was adopted by Commission Decision 2009/92/EC (2). On the basis of Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC, the Member State concerned has to designate the sites included in the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region as special areas of conservation as soon as possible and within six years at most, establishing conservation priorities and the necessary conservation measures.
(4) In the context of a dynamic adaptation of the Natura 2000 network, the lists of sites of Community importance are reviewed. An update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region is therefore necessary.
(5) On the one hand, the update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region is necessary in order to include additional sites that have been proposed since 2010 by Member States as sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC. For these additional sites, the obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC should apply as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of this Decision.
(6) On the other hand, the update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region is necessary in order to reflect any changes in site-related information submitted by Member States following the adoption of the initial Union list. In that sense, this updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region constitutes a consolidated version of the list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region. It should be stressed that, for any site included in this Decision, the obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC should apply as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of the list of sites of Community importance in which the site was included for the first time.
(7) For the Black Sea biogeographical region, lists of sites proposed as sites of Community importance within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC were transmitted to the Commission between March 2007 and October 2011, in accordance with Article 4(1) of that Directive 92/43/EEC.
(8) The lists of proposed sites were accompanied by information on each site, supplied in the format established by Commission Decision 97/266/EC of 18 December 1996 concerning a site information format for proposed Natura 2000 sites (3).
(9) That information includes the map of the site transmitted by the Member States concerned, name, location and extent of the site, and the data yielded by application of the criteria specified in Annex III to Directive 92/43/EEC.
(10) On the basis of the draft list drawn up by the Commission in agreement with each of the Member States concerned, which also identifies sites hosting priority natural habitat types or priority species, an updated list of sites selected as sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region should be adopted.
(11) Knowledge of the existence and distribution of the natural habitat types and species is constantly evolving as a result of the surveillance undertaken in accordance with Article 11 of Directive 92/43/EEC. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of sites at Union level was done using the best available information at present.
(12) Certain Member States concerned have not proposed sufficient sites to meet the requirements of Directive 92/43/EEC for certain habitat types and species. For those habitat types and species it can therefore not be concluded that the Natura 2000 network is complete. Taking into account the delay in receiving the information and reaching agreement with the Member States, it is necessary to adopt an updated list of sites, which will need to be reviewed in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.
(13) Given that knowledge on the existence and distribution of some of the natural habitat types of Annex I and species of Annex II to Directive 92/43/EEC remains incomplete, it should not be concluded that the network is either complete or incomplete. The list should be reviewed, if necessary, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.
(14) In the interests of clarity and transparency, Decision 2009/92/EC should be repealed.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Habitats Committee,
The first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC is set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Decision 2009/92/EC is repealed.
This Decision 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 Community support framework for Community structural assistance in the Spanish regions concerned by Objective 1, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1999 is hereby approved.
The Commission declares that it intends to contribute to the implementation of this Community support framework in accordance with the detailed provisions thereof and in compliance with the rules and guidelines for the Structural Funds and other existing financial instruments.
1. The Community support framework includes the following essential information:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Spain;
the main priorities are:
1. Opening-up of the regions;
2. Development of the industrial base;
3. Tourism;
4. Agriculture and Rural Development;
5. Fisheries;
6. Infrastructure to support economic activity;
7. Development of human resources;
8. Technical assistance, monitoring and information;
(b) an outline of the operations to be implemented, particularly their specific objectives and the main types of measures involved;

2. The indicative financing plan, not giving rise to indexation, specifies the total cost of the priorities adopted for joint action by the Community and the Member State concerned, that is ECU 48 905 million for the whole period, and the financial arrangements envisaged for budgetary assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG, that is ECU 26 300 million.
The resulting national financial contribution, approximately ECU 12 751 million for the public sector and ECU 9 853 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other types of loans. In indicative terms, EIB loans could reach ECU 9 000 million.
In indicative terms also, the amount of assistance from the Cohesion financial instrument in addition to the assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG, is situated between ECU 7 516 and 8 384 million for the period 1994 to 1999. This sum will be divided between Objective 1 and other regions in the light of circumstances at the time.
1. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG is as follows:
"ECU million (1994 prices) "" ID="1">1994 > ID="2">3 609 "> ID="1">1995 > ID="2">3 904 "> ID="1">1996 > ID="2">4 185 "> ID="1">1997 > ID="2">4 175 "> ID="1">1998 > ID="2">4 864 "> ID="1">1999 > ID="2">5 263 "> ID="1">Total > ID="2">26 300 ">
2. For guidance, the initial forecast breakdown of the total Community assistance available between the Structural Funds and the FIFG is as follows:
"" ID="1">ERDF > ID="2">60,6 % "> ID="1">ESF > ID="2">23,0 % "> ID="1">EAGGF, Guidance Section > ID="2">12,6 % "> ID="1">FIFG > ID="2">3,8 % "> ID="1">Total > ID="2">100,0 %">

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) No 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2001 (1), and in particular Article 145(c), (m) and (n) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 44(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 provided that farmers had to keep at their disposal for a period of at least 10 months the parcels corresponding to the eligible hectares. Council Regulation (EC) No 146/2008 of 14 February 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), amended Article 44(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 to empower the Member States to set the date when the parcels should be at the farmers’ disposal. Following this change, the detailed provisions contained in Article 24(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 (2) on the implementation of the requirement for farmers to keep the parcels at their disposal for at least 10 months are no longer needed. Article 24(2) of that Regulation should therefore be deleted. In addition, Article 26(2) of that Regulation needs to be adapted accordingly.
(2) Furthermore, following the amendments of the rules of cross-compliance introduced by Articles 1(1) and 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 146/2008, Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 (3) needs to be adapted.
(3) Rules which in certain cases require a follow up by the competent authority that a remedial action has been taken by the farmers have been introduced. In order to avoid any weakening of the control system, in particular as to the samples for on-the-spot checks, it should be clarified that such follow up cases should not be taken into account when establishing the minimum control sample.
(4) Furthermore, where the possibility not to apply any reduction for minor non-compliances or not to apply reductions amounting to EUR 100 or less, as provided for in Articles 6(3) or 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, is applied by a Member State, rules should be established where farmers fail to undertake the remedial action required from them.
(5) Regulations (EC) No 795/2004 and (EC) No 796/2004 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The introduction of the possibility not to apply any reduction for minor non-compliances or not to apply reductions amounting to EUR 100 or less is applicable as of 1 January 2008. Hence, amendments provided for in this Regulation should concern aid applications relating to years or premium periods starting as of 1 January 2008. This Regulation should therefore apply as of 1 January 2008. However, the new provisions concerning the liability of farmers in respect of non-compliance in case of transfer of land apply from 1 April 2008. Therefore, the corresponding amendment of Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 should also apply from that date.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1975/2006 of 7 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, as regards the implementation of control procedures as well as cross-compliance in respect of rural development support measures (4) contains a reference to a provision of Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 which should be deleted by the present Regulation. For the sake of legal certainty, it is appropriate to clarify that the said provision remains valid for the purposes of applying Regulation (EC) No 1975/2006, until a later decision is taken through the appropriate legislative procedure.
(8) The Management Committee for Direct Payments has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 24, paragraph 2 is deleted.
2. In Article 26(2), the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:
Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 44, the following paragraph 1a is inserted:
2. In Article 48, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
3. In Article 65, paragraph 2 is deleted, subject to Article 3 of this Regulation.
4. In Article 66, the following paragraphs 2a and 2b are inserted:
5. In Article 74, paragraph 7 is deleted.
Article 65(2) of Regulation (EC) No 796/2004, as laid down before its deletion by Article 2, point (3) of this Regulation, remains valid for the purposes of application of Article 22(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1975/2006.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to aid applications relating to years or premium periods starting from 1 January 2008.
However, point (3) of Article 2 shall apply as of 1 April 2008.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90 provides that the supplementary trade mechanism is to apply during the second stage in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 250, 251 and 252 of the Act of Accession; whereas, in the case of the products covered by CN codes 1001 90 99, 1003 00 90 and 1005 90 00, that mechanism is to apply during periods which are sensitive as regards the marketing of Portuguese production; whereas those periods must be determined for each of the cereals in question taking account of the period of harvest;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1367/91 of 24 May 1991 laying down detailed rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to imports of cereals into Portugal (3) provides for that mechanism to apply to imports of barley into Portugal during the period 1 June to 30 November;
Whereas of Portuguese barley production from the 1991/92 marketing year may be considered disposed of; whereas, under these circumstances, imports of barley into Portugal should not continue to be subject to the supplementary trade mechanism from 1 November 1991;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1367/91, the supplementary trade mechanism shall not apply to imports of barley into Portugal during the period 1 November to 30 November 1991.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 November 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 of 7 December 2011 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3) opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Implementing Regulation.
(2) October is the only subperiod for the quota with order number 09.4138 provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011. This quota comprises the balance of the unused quantities from the quotas with order numbers 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4130 in the previous subperiod. October is the last subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b) and (e) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011, which comprise the balance of the unused quantities from the previous subperiod.
(3) The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quota with order number 09.4138, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2012 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantity requested under the quota concerned.
(4) The notifications also show that, for the quota with order number 09.4148, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2012 under Article 4(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.
(5) The final percentage take-up for 2012 of each quota provided for by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 should also be made known.
(6) In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,
1. For import licence applications for rice under the quota with order number 09.4138 referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 lodged in the first 10 working days of October 2012, licences shall be issued for the quantity requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficient set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The final percentage take-up for 2012 of each quota provided for by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 is given in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/93 (4), lays down in particular detailed rules on invitations to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 of 28 November 1990 on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 879/95 (6), lays down in particular the minimum quantities in respect of which a tender may be submitted;
Whereas the application of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 may result in the opening of invitations to tender for private storage aid; whereas, in view of the market situation in the Community, it has been judged opportune to initiate such a procedure;
Whereas that Article provides for the application of these measures on the basis of the situation of each quotation zone; whereas it is appropriate to open the tender only in Ireland, taking into account the particularly difficult market situation in this Member State for one type of product corresponding to carcases derived from animals at least twelve months old; whereas it is therefore necessary, for that reason, to derogate from the provisions of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
An invitation to tender is hereby opened in Ireland for an aid to private storage for carcases and half-carcases derived from young ovines more than twelve months old (hoggets).
Subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 tenders may be submitted to the intervention agencies of the Member States concerned.
By derogation from the provisions of Article 2 (2) and of Article 3 (3a) and (4a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90:
- private storage aid may be granted only for carcases of young ovines (hoggets) more than twelve months old and cuts thereof, produced in accordance with Article 3 (1) (A) (a) to (e) of Council Directive 64/433/EEC (7), of sound and fair merchantable quality coming from animals raised in the Community for at least the previous two months and slaughtered not more than ten days before the date on which the products are placed in storage as referred to in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90,
- the declaration and the obligations provided for in Article 3 of this Regulation are referring to the abovementioned product.
Tenders must be submitted not later than 2 p.m. on 17 May 1995 to the relevant intervention agency.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 as regards histamine in fishery products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 4(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 of 15 November 2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs (2) lays down microbiological criteria for certain micro-organisms and the implementing rules that are to be complied with by food business operators when implementing the general and specific hygiene measures referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. In particular, it provides for food safety criteria for histamine and sampling plans for fishery products from fish species associated with high amount of histidine.
(2) Fish sauce produced by fermentation is a liquid fishery product. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (3) has fixed new recommended maximum levels of histamine in such fish sauce which are different from the ones set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005. That recommendation is in line with the information on consumer exposure data presented by the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) in its Scientific Opinion on risk based control of biogenic amine formation in fermented foods (4).
(3) Since fish sauce is a liquid fishery product histamine can be expected to be evenly distributed. The sampling plan can therefore be more simple than for fishery products occurring in another form.
(4) It is appropriate to establish a separate food safety criterion for fish sauce produced by fermentation of fishery products in order to align the criterion with the new Codex Alimentarius standard and the EFSA opinion. Footnote 2 should also be amended.
(5) The normal sampling plan for histamine from fishery products consists of nine samples which require much sample material. Footnote 18 to food safety criterion 1.26 for fishery products states that single samples may be taken at retail level. In such cases the whole batch should not be deemed unsafe based only on the result of one sample. However, if one of nine samples analysed is found to be above M the whole batch shall be deemed unsafe. This should also be the case when single samples are found to be above M. Consequently, is is appropriate to amend footnote 18. Footnote 18 should also be applied to both food safety criteria 1.26 and 1.27.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 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.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 8 July 2008
in accordance with Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the adoption by Slovakia of the single currency on 1 January 2009
(2008/608/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 122(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the report from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the report from the European Central Bank (2),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the discussion of the Council, meeting in the composition of Heads of State or Government,
Whereas:
(1) The third stage of economic and monetary union (hereinafter referred to as ‘EMU’) started on 1 January 1999. By Decision 98/317/EC (4), the Council, meeting in Brussels on 3 May 1998 in the composition of Heads of State or Government, found that Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland fulfilled the necessary conditions for adopting the single currency on 1 January 1999.
(2) By Decision 2000/427/EC (5) the Council decided that Greece fulfilled the necessary conditions for adopting the single currency on 1 January 2001. By Decision 2006/495/EC (6) the Council decided that Slovenia fulfilled the necessary conditions for adopting the single currency on 1 January 2007. By Decisions 2007/503/EC (7) and 2007/504/EC (8) the Council decided that Cyprus and Malta fulfilled the necessary conditions for adopting the single currency on 1 January 2008.
(3) In accordance with paragraph 1 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland annexed to the Treaty, the United Kingdom notified the Council that it did not intend to move to the third stage of EMU on 1 January 1999. This notification has not been changed. In accordance with paragraph 1 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to Denmark annexed to the Treaty and the Decision taken by the Heads of State or Government in Edinburgh in December 1992, Denmark has notified the Council that it will not participate in the third stage of EMU. Denmark has not requested that the procedure referred to in Article 122(2) of the Treaty be initiated.
(4) By virtue of Decision 98/317/EC Sweden has a derogation as defined in Article 122 of the Treaty. In accordance with Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have a derogation as defined in Article 122 of the Treaty. In accordance with Article 5 of the 2005 Act of Accession, Bulgaria and Romania have a derogation as defined in Article 122 of the Treaty.
(5) The European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as ‘ECB’) was established on 1 July 1998. The European Monetary System has been replaced by an exchange-rate mechanism, the setting-up of which was agreed by a resolution of the European Council on the establishment of an exchange-rate mechanism in the third stage of economic and monetary union of 16 June 1997 (9). The procedures for an exchange-rate mechanism in stage three of economic and monetary union (ERM II) were laid down in the Agreement of 16 March 2006 between the ECB and the national central banks of the Member States outside the euro area laying down the operating procedures for an exchange-rate mechanism in stage three of economic and monetary union (10).
(6) Article 122(2) of the Treaty lays down the procedures for abrogation of the derogation of the Member States concerned. According to that Article at least once every two years, or at the request of a Member State with a derogation, the Commission and the ECB are to report to the Council in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 121(1) of the Treaty. The most recent Commission and ECB regular Convergence Reports were adopted in May 2008. Slovakia submitted a formal request for a convergence assessment on 4 April 2008.
(7) National legislation in the Member States including the statutes of national central banks is to be adapted as necessary with a view to ensuring compatibility with Articles 108 and 109 of the Treaty and the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as ‘Statute of the ESCB’). The reports of the Commission and the ECB provide a detailed assessment of the compatibility of the legislation of Slovakia with Articles 108 and 109 of the Treaty and the Statute of the ESCB.
(8) According to Article 1 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria referred to in Article 121 of the Treaty, the criterion concerning price stability referred to in the first indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that a Member State has a price performance that is sustainable and an average rate of inflation, observed over a period of one year before the examination, that does not exceed by more than one and a half percentage points that of, at most, the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability. For the purpose of the criterion concerning price stability, inflation is measured by the harmonised indices of consumer prices (HICPs) defined in Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 of 23 October 1995 concerning harmonised indices of consumer prices (11). In order to assess the price stability criterion a Member State’s inflation is measured by the percentage change in the arithmetic average of 12 monthly indices relative to the arithmetic average of 12 monthly indices of the previous period. In the one-year period ending in March 2008, the three best-performing Member States in terms of price stability were Malta, the Netherlands and Denmark, with inflation rates of, respectively 1,5 percent, 1,7 percent and 2,0 percent. A reference value calculated as the simple arithmetic average of the inflation rates of the three best-performing Member States in terms of price stability plus 1,5 percentage points was considered in the reports of the Commission and the ECB. On this basis, the reference value in the one-year period ending in March 2008 was 3,2 percent.
(9) According to Article 2 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria referred to in Article 121 of the Treaty, the criterion concerning the government budgetary position referred to in the second indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that at the time of the examination the Member State is not the subject of a Council Decision under Article 104(6) of the Treaty that an excessive deficit exists.
(10) According to Article 3 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria referred to in Article 121 of the Treaty, the criterion concerning participation in the exchange-rate mechanism of the European Monetary System referred to in the third indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that a Member State has respected the normal fluctuation margins provided for by the exchange-rate mechanism of the European Monetary System without severe tensions for at least the last two years before the examination. In particular, the Member State must not have devalued its currency’s bilateral central rate against any other Member State’s currency on its own initiative for the same period. Since 1 January 1999 the ERM II provides the framework for assessing the fulfilment of the exchange-rate criterion. In assessing the fulfilment of this criterion in their reports, the Commission and the ECB have examined the two-year period ending on 18 April 2008.
(11) According to Article 4 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria referred to in Article 121 of the Treaty, the criterion concerning the convergence of interest rates referred to in the fourth indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that, observed over a period of one year before the examination, a Member State has had an average nominal long-term interest rate that does not exceed by more than two percentage points that of, at most, the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability. For the purpose of the criteria concerning the convergence of interest rates, comparable interest rates on 10-year benchmark government bonds were used. In order to assess the fulfilment of the interest-rate criterion a reference value calculated as the simple arithmetic average of the nominal long-term interest rates of the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability plus two percentage points was considered in the reports of the Commission and the ECB. On this basis, the reference value in the one-year period ending in March 2008 was 6,5 percent.
(12) In accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria referred to in Article 121 of the Treaty, the data used in the current assessment of the fulfilment of the convergence criteria are to be provided by the Commission. For the preparation of this decision the Commission provided data. Budgetary data were provided by the Commission after reporting by the Member States by 1 April 2008 in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (12).
(13) On the basis of reports presented by the Commission and the ECB on the progress made in the fulfilment by Slovakia of its obligations regarding the achievement of economic and monetary union, the Commission concluded that:
— in Slovakia, national legislation, including the Statute of the national central bank, is compatible with Articles 108 and 109 of the Treaty and the Statute of the ESCB,
— regarding the fulfilment by Slovakia of the convergence criteria mentioned in the four indents of Article 121(1) of the Treaty:
— the average inflation rate in Slovakia in the year ending March 2008 stood at 2,2 percent, which is well below the reference value, and it is likely to remain below the reference value in the months ahead, albeit with a narrowing margin,
— the budget deficit in Slovakia has seen a credible and sustainable reduction to below 3 percent of GDP; the Commission therefore recommended to the Council to abrogate Decision 2005/182/EC of 5 July 2004 on the existence of an excessive deficit for Slovakia (13),
— Slovakia has been a member of ERM II since 28 November 2005; in the two-year period ending 18 April 2008, the Slovak koruna (SKK) has not been subject to severe tensions and Slovakia has not devalued, on its own initiative, the SKK bilateral central rate against the euro,
— in the year ending March 2008, the long-term interest rate in Slovakia was, on average, 4,5 percent which is below the reference value.
(14) By Decision 2008/562/EC (14) the Council, acting on a recommendation from the Commission, abrogated Decision 2005/182/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Slovakia.
(15) According to Article 122(2) of the Treaty the Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal by the Commission, is to decide which Member States with a derogation fulfil the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency and abrogate the derogations of the Member States concerned,
Slovakia fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency. The derogation in favour of Slovakia referred to in Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession shall be abrogated with effect from 1 January 2009.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 108 (3) thereof,
Whereas the Italian Government decided, pursuant to Article 109 of the EEC Treaty, to introduce, as from 28 May 1981, a requirement that certain purchases of foreign currency should be subject to the establishment at an authorized bank of a non-interest-bearing deposit frozen for 90 days, of an amount in Italian lire equivalent to 30 % of the lire value of the transaction, and that the period of application of the measure concerned would expire on 30 September 1981;
Whereas, on 1 July 1981, the Commission addressed a recommendation to the Italian Government pursuant to Article 108 (1) of the EEC Treaty ; whereas it recommended the Italian Republic to take urgently certain economic policy measures;
Whereas the Italian Government, by its letters of 31 August and 5 September 1981, informed the Commission of the first measures taken in application of that recommendation and expressed its intention of introducing, in the near future, the measures required to meet the aims of a policy of economic recovery;
Whereas the Italian Government is of the opinion that the complete abolition of the deposit requirement would be likely to cause disturbances in internal and external monetary flows ; whereas the Italian Government therefore proposes to maintain this measure in force, except in respect of steel products, whilst reducing gradually the percentage of the deposit ; whereas the deposit would be reduced to 25 % as from 1 October 1981, to 20 % as from 1 January 1982, to 15 % as from 1 March 1982, and would then expire on 1 April 1982;
Whereas mutual assistance has not been granted pursuant to Article 108 (2) of the EEC Treaty;
Whereas the abrogation of the measure in question on the date originally laid down would tend to aggravate the current account deficit at a critical moment in its seasonal cycle or to cause liquidity to swell;
Whereas authorization for the Italian Government to maintain the measures relating to the compulsory deposit in force, for a limited period and subject to certain conditions, is therefore justified ; whereas extending the period during which the deposit is required is likely, however, to cause disturbances in trade in certain categories of goods ; whereas, therefore, the period of validity of this measure should be limited to five months and agricultural produce and non-ferrous metals excluded from the scope thereof with effect from 1 October 1981,
The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to maintain in force the measures provided for by the decrees of 27 May and 24 July 1981 issued by the Ministry of External Trade concerning the system of obligatory deposits, subject to the following conditions: (a) the obligation to establish the deposit shall cease with effect from 1 March 1982;
(b) the percentage applicable to those transactions subject to a deposit shall be reduced to 25 % on 1 October 1981, to 20 % on 1 January 1982 and to 15 % on 1 February 1982;
(c) the list of transactions exempt from the obligation to provide a deposit shall include, with effect from 1 October 1981, imports of: - agricultural products listed in Annex II to the Treaty, with the exception of these referred to in the Annex to this Decision, and products falling within the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80,
and
- non-ferrous metals (Chapters 74 to 81 of the Common Customs Tariff).
The Commission shall supervise the application of this Decision and reserves the right to modify the conditions relating thereto.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 395/97 of 20 December 1996 allocating, for 1997, Community catch quotas in Greenland waters (3), provides for northern deepwater prawns quotas for 1997;
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;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 87/480/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by the Kingdom of Belgium and the French Republic,
Whereas in Belgium and France the production of seed of field pea of a type with white flowers, a low tannin content and a low anti-trypsic factor, suitable for the production of grain (harvested dry, for combining) used for inclusion in animal feed, and which satisfies the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC, was insufficient in 1987 and is not adequate to supply the needs of those countries;
Whereas it has not been possible to cover those needs satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Belgium and France should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas other Member States which are able to supply Belgium and France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed, provided that it is intended for Belgium or France;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Kingdom of Belgium and the French Republic are hereby authorized to permit, until 30 April 1988, the marketing in their territories of, in the case of Belgium, a maximum of 1 000 tonnes and, in the case of France, a maximum of 12 250 tonnes, of seed of field pea (Pisum sativum L. partim) of a type with white flowers, a low tannin content and a low anti-trypsic factor, suitable for the production of grain (harvested dry, for combining) used for inclusion in animal feed, and of the category 'certified seed', which does not satisfy the requirements relating to minimum germination capacity laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity shall be at least 75 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- 'Minimum germination capacity 75 %',
- 'Intended exclusively for Belgium', or 'Intended exclusively for France', as the case may be.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territories of a maximum of 13 250 tonnes of field pea seed, provided that it is intended exclusively for Belgium or France.
The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (b).
The Member States shall notify the Commission before 30 June 1988 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territories pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

(1) The Union is a Contracting Party to the Convention on Temporary Admission concluded in Istanbul on 26 June 1990 (hereafter ‘the Istanbul Convention’). Annex B.3 to the Istanbul Convention contains provisions concerning containers, pallets, packings, samples and other goods imported in connection with a commercial operation. The Administrative Committee for the Convention on Temporary Admission recommended at its 12th meeting on 25 March 2013 an amendment to Appendix II to Annex B.3 to the Istanbul Convention containing provisions concerning the marking of containers. The amendment came into force on 4 November 2014.
(2) The Istanbul Convention is not directly applicable in the Union. Its amendment should therefore be incorporated into Union law in order to ensure that the Union complies with its international obligations.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Article 557 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:
(1) in paragraph 1, the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) 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 (2), stipulates that the cif import price for molasses established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (3), is to be considered the representative price. That price is fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(2) For the purpose of fixing the representative prices, account must be taken of all the information provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, except in the cases provided for in Article 4 of that Regulation and those prices should be fixed, where appropriate, in accordance with the method provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation.
(3) Prices not referring to the standard quality should be adjusted upwards or downwards, according to the quality of the molasses offered, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(4) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product concerned and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the terms laid down 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.
(5) The representative prices and additional import duties for the products concerned should be fixed in accordance with Articles 1(2) and 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95.
(6) 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.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland (1), signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972, does not provide for the prohibition of quantitative restrictions affecting exports and measures having equivalent effect;
Whereas it is in the interest of the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland to promote the free circulation of raw materials and goods by abolishing any such restrictions and measures and by preventing the creation of new restrictions or measures affecting their mutual trade;
Whereas it is necessary both to make arrangements for a phased abolition of current restrictions affecting certain products or measures having equivalent effect and to provide for safeguard measures in the event either of re-export towards third countries against which the exporting Contracting Party maintains restrictions or measures having equivalent effect or in the event of serious shortage of a particular product;
Whereas under Article 33 (1) of the Agreement, the Contracting Parties may, in the interest of their economies, develop the relations established by the Agreement by extending it to fields not covered thereby;
Whereas the Commission has held negotiations with the Republic of Iceland, which have resulted in a Protocol,
The Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland concerning the elimination of existing and prevention of new quantitative restrictions affecting exports or measures having equivalent effect is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 833/2003(4), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(6), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(8), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 18 March 1991 on batteries and accumulators containing certain dangerous substances (91/157/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas any disparity between the laws or administrative measures adopted by the Member States on the disposal of batteries and accumulators could create barriers to trade and distort competition in the Community and may thereby have a direct impact on the establishment and functioning of the internal market; whereas it therefore appears necessary to approximate the laws in the field;
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC of 15 July 1975 on waste (4), as amended by Directive 91/156/EEC (5), provides that specific rules for particular instances or supplementing those of the said Directive in order to regulate the management of particular categories of waste shall be laid down by means of individual Directives;
Whereas the objectives and principles of the Community's environment policy, as set out in the European Community action programmes on the environment on the basis of the principles enshrined in Article 130r (1) and (2) of the EEC Treaty, aim in particular at preventing, reducing and as far as possible eliminating pollution and ensuring sound management of raw materials resources, on the basis also of the 'polluter pays' principle;
Whereas, in order to achieve these objectives, the marketing of certain batteries and accumulators should be prohibited, in view of the amount of dangerous substances they contain;
Whereas, to ensure that spent batteries and accumulators are recovered and disposed of in a controlled manner, Member States must take measures to ensure that they are marked and collected separately;
Whereas collection and recycling of spent batteries and accumulators can help avoid unnecessary use of raw materials;
Whereas appliances containing non-removable batteries or accumulators may represent an environmental hazard when they are disposed of; whereas Member States should therefore take appropriate measures;
Whereas programmes should be set up in the Member States to achieve the various objectives set out above; whereas the Commission should be informed of these programmes and of the specific measures taken;
Whereas recourse to economic instruments such as the setting up of a deposit system may encourage the separate collection and recycling of spent batteries and accumulators;
Whereas provision should be made for consumer information in this field;
Whereas provision should be made for appropriate procedures to implement the provisions of this Directive, particularly the making system, and to ensure that the Directive can be easily adapted to scientific and technical progress; whereas the committee referred to in Article 18 of Directive 75/442/EEC should be instructed to assist the Commission in these tasks,
The aim of this Directive is to approximate the laws of the Member States on the recovery and controlled disposal of those spent batteries and accumulators containing dangerous substances in accordance with Annex I.
For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) 'battery or accumulator' means a source of electrical energy generated by direct conversion of chemical energy and consisting of one or more primary (non-rechargeable) batteries or secondary (rechargeable) cells, as listed in Annex I;
(b) 'spent battery or accumulator' means a battery or accumulator which is not re-usable and is intended for recovery or disposal;
(c) 'disposal' means any operation, provided that it is applicable to batteries and accumulators, included in Annex II A to Directive 75/442/EEC;
(d) 'recovery' means any operation, provided that it is applicable to batteries and accumulators, included in Annex II B to Directive 75/442/EEC;
(e) 'collection' means the gathering, sorting and/or grouping together of spent batteries and accumulators;
(f) 'deposit system' means a system under which the buyer, upon purchase of batteries or accumulators, pays the seller a sum of money which is refunded when the spent batteries or accumulators are returned.
1. Member States shall prohibit, as from 1 January 1993, the marketing of:
- alkaline manganese batteries for prolonged use in extreme conditions (e.g. temperatures below 0° C or above 50° C, exposed to shocks) containing more than 0,05 % of mercury by weight,
- all other alkaline manganese batteries containing more than 0,025 % of mercury by weight.
Alkaline manganese button cells and batteries composed of button cells shall be exempted from this prohibition.
2. Paragraph 1 shall be inserted in Annex I to Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (6), as last amended by Directive 85/610/EEC (7).
1. In the context of the programmes referred to in Article 6, Member States shall take appropriate steps to ensure that spent batteries and accumulators are collected separately with a view to their recovery or disposal.
2. To this end, Member States shall ensure that batteries and accumulators and, where appropriate, appliances into which they are incorporated are marked in the appropriate manner.
The marking must include indications as to the following points:
- separate collection,
- where appropriate, recycling,
- the heavy-metal content.
3. The Commission shall draw up, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10, the detailed arrangements for the marking system. These arrangements shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Member States shall take measures to ensure that batteries and accumulators cannot be incorporated into appliances unless they can be readily removed, when spent, by the consumer.
These measures shall enter into force on 1 January 1994.
This Article shall not apply to the categories of appliance included in Annex II.
Member States shall draw up programmes in order to achieve the following objectives:
- reduction of the heavy-metal content of batteries and accumulators,
- promotion of marketing of batteries and accumulators containing smaller quantities of dangerous substances and/or less polluting substances,
- gradual reduction, in household waste, of spent batteries and accumulators covered by Annex I,
- promotion of research aimed at reducing the dangerous-substance content and favouring the use of less polluting substitute substances in batteries and accumulators, and research into methods of recycling,
- separate disposal of spent batteries and accumulators covered by Annex I.
The first programmes shall cover a four-year period starting on 18 March 1993. They shall be communicated to the Commission by 17 September 1992 at the latest.
The programmes shall be reviewed and updated regularly, at least every four years, in the light in particular of technical progress and of the economic and environmental situation. Amended programmes shall be communicated to the Commission in good time.
1. Member States shall ensure the efficient organization of separate collection and, where appropriate, the setting up of a deposit system. Furthermore, Member States may introduce measures such as economic instruments in order to encourage recycling. These measures must be introduced after consultation with the parties concerned, be based on valid ecological and economic criteria and avoid distortions of competition.
2. When notifying the programmes to which Article 6 refers, Member States shall inform the Commission of the measures they have taken pursuant to paragraph 1.
In the context of the programmes referred to in Article 6, Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure that consumers are fully informed of:
(a) the dangers of uncontrolled disposal of spent batteries and accumulators;
(b) the marking of batteries, accumulators and appliances with permanently incorporated batteries and accumulators;
(c) the method of removing batteries and accumulators which are permanently incorporated into appliances.
Member States may not impede, prohibit or restrict the marketing of batteries and accumulators covered by this Directive and conforming to the provisions laid down herein.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 839/2012
of 18 September 2012
concerning the authorisation of urea as a feed additive for ruminants
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of products authorised pursuant to Council Directive 82/471/EEC of 30 June 1982 concerning certain products used in animal nutrition (2).
(2) Urea was authorised without a time limit by Directive 82/471/EEC. That product was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of urea as a feed additive for ruminants, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 7 March 2012 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, urea does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it provides non-protein nitrogen for microbial protein synthesis in the rumen. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of urea shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) Since modifications to the conditions of authorisation of urea are introduced and as there are no direct immediate effects on safety, a reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before authorisation in order to allow the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. In addition, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of urea, as authorised by Directive 82/471/EEC, and of feed containing urea.
(7) It is disproportionately complex for operators to adapt repeatedly and from one day to the other labels of feed containing different additives which have been successively authorised according to the procedure laid down in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and for which new labelling rules are to be complied with. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the administrative burden on the operators by providing a period of time allowing a smooth conversion of labelling.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Authorisation
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘urea and its derivatives’ is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Labelling requirements
Feed containing urea shall be labelled in accordance with this Regulation at the latest by 19 May 2013.
However, feed containing urea which has been labelled in accordance with Directive 82/471/EEC before 19 May 2013 may continue to be placed on the market until stocks are exhausted.
Transitional measures
Existing stocks of urea and of feed containing urea at the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market and used under the conditions of Directive 82/471/EEC until they are exhausted.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 November 2012.
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 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1239/2001(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 449/2001 of 2 March 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards the aid scheme for products processed from fruit and vegetables(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1343/2001(4), stipulates that the Commission is to publish the amount of the aid for peaches and pears after verification of compliance with the thresholds fixed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2201/96.
(2) The average quantity of peaches processed under the aid scheme during the three previous marketing years is lower than the Community threshold. The aid to be applied for the 2002/03 marketing year in each Member State concerned is the amount fixed in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96.
(3) The average quantity of pears processed under the aid scheme during the three previous marketing years is higher than the Community threshold. The aid to be applied for the 2002/03 marketing year is the amount fixed in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 in the Member States in which the threshold was not exceeded and, for the other Member States concerned, that amount less the overrun of the threshold in each of them, after allocation of the quantities not processed in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) of that Regulation.
(4) 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 2002/03 marketing year, the aid referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be:
(a) for peaches: EUR 47,70/tonne;
(b) for pears:
- EUR 54,27 tonne in Greece,
- EUR 161,70 tonne in Spain,
- EUR 135,59 tonne in France,
- EUR 151,52 tonne in Italy,
- EUR 157,56 tonne in the Netherlands,
- EUR 161,70 tonne in Austria,
- EUR 161,70 tonne in Portugal.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to the 2002/03 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
