Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of L-isoleucine produced by Escherichia coli (FERM ABP-10641) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 9 December 2009 (2) that L-isoleucine does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that this preparation can be considered a source of available isoleucine for all animal species. The Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. 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 L-isoleucine shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 934/86 (2), and in particular Article 5 (5) and the third subparagraph of Article 28 (5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 28 (3) and (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the losses resulting from the obligation to export surpluses of Community sugar are to be covered by production levies on the production of A and B sugar and of A and B isoglucose, within certain limits; whereas the third subparagraph of Article 28 (5) of the same Regulation allows, with effect from the 1986/87 marketing year, for the upper limit applicable to the B levy to be increased to a maximum of 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar;
Whereas the estimates for the 1986/87 marketing year indicate that the sum of the levies to be paid will not be sufficient to cover completely the total loss resulting from those obligations;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to increase, for the 1986/87 marketing year, the maximum amount of the B levy to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar and also to adjust accordingly the minimum price for B beet fixed for that marketing year by Regulation (EEC) No 1453/86 (3);
Whereas the minimum prices of B beet applicable in Spain and Portugal must similarly be increased in such a manner that the financial burden resulting from the production levy is shared between beet producers and sugar manufacturers in the same way as it is in the other regions of the Community,
1. For the 1986/87 marketing year, the maximum amount referred to in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 28 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar.
2. For the 1986/87 marketing year, the minimum price for B beet referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be equal to 60,5 % of the basic price for beet.
Regulation (EEC) No 1453/86 is amended as follows:
1. the text of Article 3 (2) is replaced by the following:
'2. The minimum price for B beet applicable in the Community with the exception of Spain and Portugal shall be 24,74 ECU per tonne.';
2. the text of Article 4 (1) is replaced by the following:
'1. The sugar prices to be applied in Spain and Portugal shall be as follows:
(a) Spain:
(aa) the intervention price for white sugar shall be 62,78 ECU per 100 kilograms;
(bb) the prices for beet shall be:
- 47,98 ECU per tonne for the basic price,
- 47,16 ECU per tonne for the minimum price for A beet,
- 31,83 ECU per tonne for the minimum price for B beet;
(b) Portugal:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(2), and in particular Article 7(4) thereof,
Having consulted the Fund Committee,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 and Article 8(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section(3) provide that the Commission is to carry out the necessary checks, forward its findings to the Member States, consider any comments from the latter, enter into bilateral discussions with a view to reaching an agreement with the Member States concerned and formally communicate its conclusions to them, referring to Commission Decision 94/442/EC of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section(4).
(2) The Member States have had an opportunity to request that a conciliation procedure be initiated. That procedure has been applied in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been examined by the Commission.
(3) Under Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999, only refunds on exports to third countries and intervention to stabilise agricultural markets, respectively granted and undertaken according to Community rules within the framework of the common organisation of the agricultural markets, may be financed.
(4) In the light of the checks carried out, the outcome of the bilateral discussions and the conciliation procedures, part of the expenditure declared by the Member States does not fulfil these requirements and cannot, therefore, be financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
(5) The amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section should be indicated. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commission's written notification of the results of the checks to the Member States.
(6) As regards the cases covered by this Decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with Community rules was notified by the Commission to the Member States in a summary report on the subject.
(7) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 30 October 2003 and relating to its content,
The expenditure itemised in the Annex hereto that has been incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGGF Guarantee Section shall be excluded from Community financing because it does not comply with Community rules.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Finland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, on account of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease in a production region in the Netherlands, exceptional measures to support the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3460/92 (4);
Whereas it proved necessary to increase the amounts of aid introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 to ensure the effectiveness of the measure through a large participation on the part of producers and operators by adopting Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3252/92 (5);
Whereas a very small number of operators found themselves unable to fulfil their contractual obligations in view of the unwillingness of producers to sell pigs coming from the area directly affected, during the period concerned, given the possibility of a lifting of the restrictive measures introduced by Commission Decision 92/478/EEC (6);
Whereas the rules normally applicable in this situation, as laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for pigmeat (7), should not ber applied in order to avoid a disproportionate penalization of operators in the light of the very exceptional circumstances referred to above;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Securities lodged in respect of applications for private storage aid pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3062/92 with a view to the conclusion of private storage contracts for which the primary requirements under the terms of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 have not been met, shall be released for quantities not actually stored.
Notwithstanding Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90, if the quantity actually stored during the contractual storage period is less than the contractual quantity, the aid shall be paid in respect of the quantity actually stored.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1336/86 of 6 May 1986 fixing compensation for the definitive discontinuation of milk production (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 841/88 (4), provides that where the reference quantities for the producers as a whole are reduced to the quantities set out in Annex I thereto, compensation is to be paid for the reduction; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 775/87 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1111/88 (6), provides in addition for the temporary withdrawal of a uniform proportion of the reference quantities of producers; whereas that suspension is to be offset by the grant of compensation; whereas the funds for that compensation must be paid directly to each milk producer in Greece;
Whereas a feature of milk production in Greece is the large number of small producers and, as a result of this in particular, it faces major difficulties in reaching sufficiently high quality standards; whereas the administrative task involved in the direct payment of the abovementioned individual compensatory amounts appears out of proportion to the benefit to producers; whereas it is more effective and more in the interests of producers to authorize the Hellenic Republic to invest the sums concerned in programmes to improve the quality of milk,
The following is hereby inserted in Regulation (EEC) No 775/87:
'Article 4a
By way of derogation from Article 2 of this Regulation and the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1336/86, the Hellenic Republic shall use the funds available to finance programmes to improve the quality of milk for the benefit of the producers concerned.
Those programmes:
- shall be notified to the Commission before 1 September 1988 for the use of the funds for the fourth and fifth periods of application of the additional levy arrangements and before the beginning of each period of application from the sixth period,
- shall be approved beforehand by the Commission, in particular as regards the rules and time limits for the utilization of the funds.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the fourth period of application of the additional levy arrangements.
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 |

31986L0378 | Council Directive 86/378/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in occupational social security schemes
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 24 July 1986
on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in occupational social security schemes
(86/378/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 100 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Treaty provides that each Member State shall ensure the application of the principle that men and women should receive equal pay for equal work; whereas 'pay' should be taken to mean the ordinary basic or minimum wage or salary and any other consideration, whether in cash or in kind, which the worker receives, directly of indirectly, from his employer in respect of his employment;
Whereas, although the principle of equal pay does indeed apply directly in cases where discrimination can be determined solely on the basis of the criteria of equal treatment and equal pay, there are also situations in which implementation of this principle implies the adoption of additional measures which more clearly define its scope;
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Council Directive 76/207/EEC of 9 February 1976 on the implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women as regards access to employment, vocational training and promotion, and working conditions (4) provides that, with a view to ensuring the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment in matters of social security, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, will adopt provisions defining its substance, its scope and the arrangements for its application; whereas the Council adopted to this end Directive 79/7/EEC of 19 December 1978 on the progressive implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women in matters of social security (5);
Whereas Article 3 (3) of Directive 79/7/EEC provides that, with a view to ensuring implementation of the principle of equal treatment in occupational schemes, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission, will adopt provisions defining its substance, its scope and the arrangements for its application;
Whereas the principle of equal treatment should be implemented in occupational social security schemes which provide protection against the risks specified in Article 3 (1) of Directive 79/7/EEC as well as those which provide employees with any other consideration in cash or in kind within the meaning of the Treaty;
Whereas implementation of the principle of equal treatment does not prejudice the provisions relating to the protection of women by reason of maternity,
The object of this Directive is to implement, in occupational social security schemes, the principle of equal treatment for men and women, hereinafter referred to as 'the principle of equal treatment'.
1. 'Occupational social security schemes' means schemes not governed by Directive 79/7/EEC whose purpose is to provide workers, whether employees or self-employed, in an undertaking or group of undertakings, area of economic activity or occupational sector or group of such sectors with benefits intended to supplement the benefits provided by statutory social security schemes or to replace them, whether membership of such schemes is compulsory or optional.
2. This Directive does not apply to:
(a) individual contracts,
(b) schemes having only one member,
(c) in the case of salaried workers, insurance schemes offered to participants individually to guarantee them:
- either additional benefits, or
- a choice of date on which the normal benefits will start, or a choice between several benefits.
This Directive shall apply to members of the working population including self-employed persons, persons whose activity is interrupted by illness, matrnity, accident or involuntary unemployment and persons seeking employment, and to retired and disabled workers.
This Directive shall apply to:
(a) occupational schemes which provide protection against the following risks:
- sickness,
- invalidity,
- old age, including early retirement,
- industrial accidents and occupational diseases,
- unemployment;
(b) occupational schemes which provide for other social benefits, in cash or in kind, and in particular survivors' benefits and family allowances, if such benefits are accorded to employed persons and thus constitute a consideration paid by the employer to the worker by reason of the latter's employment.
1. Unter the conditions laid down in the following provisions, the principle of equal treatment implies that there shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex, either directly or indirectly, by reference in particular to marital or family status, especially as regards:
- the scope of the schemes and the conditions of access to them;
- the obligation to contribute and the calculation of contributions;
- the calculation of benefits, including supplementary benefits due in respect of a spouse or dependants, and the conditions governing the duration and retention of entitlement to benefits.
2. The principle of equal treatment shall not prejudice the provisions relating to the protection of women by reason of maternity.
1. Provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment shall include those based on sex, either directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to marital or family for:
(a) determining the persons who may participate in an occupational scheme;
(b) fixing the compulsory or optional nature of participation in an occupational scheme;
(c) laying down different rules as regards the age of entry into the scheme or the minimum period of employment or membership of the scheme required to obtain the benefits thereof;
(d) laying down different rules, except as provided for in subparagraphs (h) and (i), for the reimbursement of contributions where a worker leaves a scheme without having fulfilled the conditions guaranteeing him a deferred right to long-term benefits;
(e) setting different conditions for the granting of benefits of restricting such benefits to workers of one or other of the sexes;
(f) fixing different retirement ages;
(g) suspending the retention or acquisition of rights during periods of maternity leave or leave for family reasons which are granted by law or agreement and are paid by the employer;
(h) setting different levels of benefit, except insofar as may be necessary to take account of actuarial calculation factors which differ according to sex in the case of benefits designated as contribution-defined; (i) setting different levels of worker contribution;
setting different levels of employer contribution in the case of benefits designated as contribution-defined, except with a view to making the amount of those benefits more nearly equal;
(j) laying down different standards or standards applicable only to workers of a specified sex, except as provided for in subparagraphs (h) and (i), as regards the guarantee or retention of entitlement to deferred benefits when a worker leaves a scheme.
2. Where the granting of benefits within the scope of this Directive is left to the discretion of the scheme's management bodies, the latter must take account of the principle of equal treatment.
Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that:
(a) provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment in legally compulsory collective agreements, staff rules of undertakings or any other arrangements relating to occupational schemes are null and void, or may be declared null and void or amended;
(b) schemes containing such provisions may not be approved or extended by administrative measures.
1. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the provisions of occupational schemes contrary to the principle of equal treatment are revised by 1 January 1993.
2. This Directive shall not preclude rights and obligations relating to a period of membership of an occupational scheme prior to revision of that scheme from remaining subject to the provisions of the scheme in force during that period.
Member States may defer compulsory application of the principle of equal treatment with regard to:
(a) determination of pensionable age for the purposes of granting old-age or retirement pensions, and the possible implications for other benefits:
- either until the date on which such equality is achieved in statutory schemes,
- or, at the latest, until such equality is required by a directive.
(b) survivors' pensions until a directive requires the principle of equal treatment in statutory social security schemes in that regard;
(c) the application of the first subparagraph of Article 6 (1) (i) to take account of the different actuarial calculation factors, at the latest until the expiry of a thirteen-year period as from the notification of this Directive.
0
Member States shall introduce into their national legal systems such measures as are necessary to enable all persons who consider themselves injured by failure to apply the principle of equal treatment to pursue their claims before the courts, possibly after bringing the matters before other competent authorities.
1
Member States shall take all the necessary steps to protect worker against dismissal where this constitutes a response on the part of the employer to a complaint made at undertaking level or to the institution of legal proceedings aimed at enforcing compliance with the principle of equal treatment.
2
1. Member States shall bring into force such laws, regulations and administrative provisions as are necessary in order to comply with this Directive at the latest three years after notification thereof (1). They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission at the latest five years after notification of this Directive all information necessary to enable the Commission to draw up a report on the application of this Directive for submission to the Council.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (4), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase; whereas the authorization of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; whereas this tolerance has been defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (5);
Whereas the French Government has requested the Commission to authorize the use of five methods for grading pig carcases on its territory and has submitted the information required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85; whereas an examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorizing the said grading methods are fulfilled;
Whereas no modification of the apparatus or grading method may be authorized except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained; whereas, for this reason, the present authorization may be revoked;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the following methods is hereby authorized for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in France:
- the apparatus termed 'Fat-O-Meater' and having an 8 mm diameter probe ('FOM-8') and the assessment method related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,
- the apparatus termed 'Fat-O-Meater' and having a 6 mm diameter probe ('FOM-6'), and the assessment method related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex,

of 23 September 2004
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 September 2004.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 5 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) and (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for the granting of a premium to compensate for any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat; whereas those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 of 11 April 1986 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat is granted (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3519/86 (4); whereas Article 5
(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for the possibility of granting premiums to producers holding females of the ovine species of certain mountain breeds other than eligible ewes, in certain areas; whereas those sheep and those areas are defined in the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 of 31 March 1984 laying down the general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat producers (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1970/87 (6);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the Member States were authorized by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1847/90 (7) to pay an initial advance and by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2758/90 (8) to pay a second advance to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers; whereas those advances were paid during the 1990 marketing year in certain Member States; whereas the balance to be paid to producers in those Member States should therefore be fixed;
Whereas, under Article 22 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the amount of the premium per ewe and per region is obtained transitionally for the 1990 marketing year by multiplying the loss of income referred to in paragraph 4 of that Article by a coefficient expressing for each region the annual average production of lamb meat per ewe expressed per 100 kilograms carcase weight; whereas the coefficient for 1990 has not yet been fixed in view of the lack of comprehensive Community statistics; whereas, pending the fixing of that coefficient, it was agreed to use provisionally the coefficients for 1989, adjusted in accordance with the rules on transition; whereas, for region 1, the loss of income must be reduced by the weighted average of the variable premiums actually granted and the foreseeable premiums for the remainder of the 1990 marketing year, such average being obtained in accordance with Article 24 (4) of that Regulation; whereas Article 22 (5) of that Regulation also fixes for the 1990 marketing year the premium per female of the caprine species and per female of the ovine species other than eligible ewes at 80 % of the premium per ewe; whereas those statistics are now available; whereas the coefficient should therefore be fixed;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 24 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the losses of income in Great Britain on the one hand (impact of the non-deducted variable premium) and in Ireland and Northern Ireland on the other hand, and the coefficients expressing the annual average production of lamb meat per ewe are to be gradually merged into a single income loss and single coefficients in proportion to the actual dismantling of the variable slaughter premium during each marketing year;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 of 26 October 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium for producers of sheepmeat (9), as last amended Regulation (EEC) No 288/91 (10), the premium payable per eligible animal is only to be paid where the amount fixed per ewe is equal to or greater than ECU 1; whereas those provisions result in the premium payable in region 3 not being paid; whereas those provisions are without prejudice to the application of Article 22 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 22 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, for the 1990 marketing year where a premium per ewe is granted for region 2 on application by the parties concerned, a premium per ewe of an amount equal to the premium payable per ewe in region 2 may be granted in region 3 instead of the premium payable in that region where the recipients have shown, to the satisfaction of the competent authority, that lambs from ewes which they hold have not been slaughtered before two months of age; whereas that paragraph also provides, for the 1990 marketing year, that a premium per female goat equal to 80 % of the premium payable per ewe in region 2 may be granted in the areas in region 3 referred to in Article 5 (5) of that Regulation instead of the premium payable in that region where the recipients have shown, to the satisfaction of the competent authority, that the kids from female goats which they hold have not been slaughtered before two months of age;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 22 (8) of that Regulation, the Member States comprising regions 3 and 4 which, to the satisfaction of the Commission, have from the 1990 marketing year introduced a system enabling producers of heavy lambs to be distinguished from producers of light lambs are to qualify in respect of that mar year, in the case of producers of heavy lambs, for the premium paid in region 2, and, in the case of producers of light lambs, for a premium corresponding to 70 % of the premium for producers of heavy lambs, that premium also applying to female goats; whereas the two Member States comprising region 4 have introduced such a system for the 1990 marketing year;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basic price of the coefficient provided for in Article 8 (2) of that Regulation; whereas that coefficient was fixed provisionally by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3618/89 of 1 December 1989 on the application of the guarantee limitation arrangements for sheepmeat and goatmeat for the 1990 marketing year (11); whereas that coefficient was subsequently corrected by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 905/91 (12);
Whereas in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic the unit amount of the premium to be granted must be calculated pro rata temporis on the basis of the period of the 1990 marketing year when that territory formed part of the Community;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Article 1
A difference is hereby ascertained between the basic price and the market price during the 1990 marketing year for the following regions:
(in ecu/100 kg)

(in kg)
Region 1. 15,5 2. 17,5 - Ireland and Northern Ireland 16,5 3. 7,0

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Transitional measures should be adopted to allow producers and processors in Bulgaria and Romania to benefit from the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products (1).
(2) Under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003 of 29 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards the aid scheme for products processed from fruit and vegetables (2), contracts for tomatoes must be signed, by 15 February, by processors approved by the competent authorities and producer organisations granted recognition or preliminary recognition. A derogation, for the 2007/08 marketing year only, should be made from the timetable for signing contracts laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003. Otherwise, and particularly in the case of tomatoes, the parties concerned would be unable to benefit from the aid scheme provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 during the marketing year in progress.

Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, it is desirable to adopt provisions concerning the classification of a product having the appearance of a fine powder and consisting of a mixture of manganous oxide (MnO - about 70 %) and other substances (notably the oxides of iron, silicon and aluminium), obtained from pyrolusite (manganese dioxide) by crushing, subjecting it to thermal reduction with fuel oil and recrushing the final product;
Whereas heading No 38.19 of the Common Customs Tariff, annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (4) refers inter alia to chemical products and chemical properties of the chemical and allied industries not elsewhere specified or included;
Whereas, the product in question, by reference to Note 1 to Chapter 25 and Note 2 to Chapter 26 cannot be classified under heading No 25.32 nor under heading No 26.01;
Whereas, moreover, having been obtained without undergoing a chemical process to isolate the manganous oxide, this product cannot be considered to be a separate chemically defined compound; whereas, since the product does not comply with the provisions of Note 1 to Chapter 28, heading No 28.22 cannot be taken into consideration;
Whereas, in the absence of a more specific heading, this product must therefore be regarded as a 'chemical product or a preparation of the chemical or allied industries not elsewhere specified or included', falling within heading No 38.19; whereas, within that heading, it is desirable to choose subheading 38.19 X;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
The product having the appearance of a fine powder and consisting of a mixture of manganous oxide (MnO - about 70 %) and other substances (notably the oxides of iron, silicon and aluminium), obtained from pyrolusite (manganese dioxide) by crushing this one, subjecting it to thermal reduction with fuel oil and recrushing the final product, shall fall within Common Customs Tariff subheading:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of footwear known as 'espadrilles' having uppers of fabric and the outer sole of hemp rope, whose
(a) front, middle and back, or
(b) front (including the ball of the foot) and back
have a covering of rubber or artificial plastic material (over a minimum of 35 % of the total surface of the outer sole);
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1018/84 (3), refers under heading No 64.02 to 'footwear with outer soles of leather or composition leather; footwear (other than footwear falling within heading No 64.01) with outer soles of rubber or artificial plastic material' and under heading No 64.04 to 'footwear with outer soles of other materials'; whereas, for the classification of the goods in question, the abovementioned headings can be considered;
Whereas the difference between the products falling in each of these headings lies, essentially, in the characteristics of the outer soles; whereas the parts of the soles most subject to wear have a covering of rubber or artificial plastic material; whereas the soles thereby acquire the character of rubber or artificial plastic soles since, in terms of their use, they have comparable strength and durability;
Whereas footwear as described of the 'espadrilles' type must therefore fall within heading 64.02, in subheading 64.02 B, pursuant to Rule 3 (b) for the interpretation of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
Footwear known as 'espadrilles' having uppers of fabric and the outer sole of hemp rope, whose
(a) front, middle and back, or
(b) front (including the ball of the foot) and back
have a covering of rubber or artificial plastic material (over a minimum of 35 % of the total surface of the outer sole) shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff as follows:

(2009/585/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2), and in particular Article 32(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 31(1) of Decision 2009/470/EC Community reference laboratories in the field of animal health and live animals may be granted Community aid.
(2) Commission Decision 2008/965/EC (3) granted Community financial assistance up to a maximum of EUR 400 000 at the rate of 100 % of the eligible costs as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1754/2006 of 28 November 2006 laying down detailed rules for the granting of Community financial assistance to Community reference laboratories for feed and food and the animal health sector (4) to be incurred by the Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA), New Haw, Weybridge, United Kingdom, the Community Reference Laboratory (CRL) for avian influenza, for the work programme to be implemented in the period from 1 January to 31 December 2009.
(3) The approved work programme of the CRL for avian influenza foresees that, in the light of the occurrence of influenza in birds and other animals, it is necessary to keep under review the possible zoonotic impact arising from the risk of these influenza viruses.
(4) The novel A/H1N1 influenza virus recently reported in humans in Mexico, USA and then elsewhere in the world contains genetic material of pig, bird and human influenza viruses but it appears to be distinct from other H1N1 viruses known to occur in pigs. The finding of the novel A/H1N1 influenza virus in a swine herd in Canada is the first reported possible case of human-to-animal transmission of this particular new virus subtype. However, the importance of these findings is still to be fully understood and assessed by the scientific community once sufficient scientific data are made available.
(5) The investigation of infection dynamics, pathogenesis, host susceptibility and transmissibility of the current novel A/H1N1 influenza virus in different animal species, and in particular in pigs is essential for providing the necessary scientific evidence for a veterinary risk assessment. A key output from the study will be the development of a ‘toolkit’ of reagents and materials for laboratory diagnosis.
(6) These investigations should be incorporated into the 2009 annual work programme of the CRL for avian influenza which has already developed models for studying infection parameters and performed some testing with influenza viruses from a variety of sources. Complementary investigations will utilise pigs, and, through a combination of multi-factorial measurements will aim at providing evidence for susceptibility and potential consequences of infection of pigs with the novel A/H1N1 influenza virus. All experiments (both on animals and in laboratory) will be carried under strict respect of biosafety and biocontainment conditions already applied at the CRL for avian influenza.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1754/2006 provides that the financial assistance from the Community is to be granted if the approved work programmes are efficiently carried out and the beneficiaries supply all the necessary information within certain time limits.
(8) The Commission has assessed the amended complementary work programme and corresponding amended budget estimates submitted by the CRL for avian influenza.
(9) Accordingly, an additional Community financial assistance should be granted to the CRL for avian influenza to carry out the complementary investigations on the novel A/H1N1 influenza virus.
(10) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (5), animal disease eradication and control programmes (veterinary measures) shall be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF). Furthermore, Article 13, second paragraph of that Regulation foresees that in duly justified exceptional cases, for measures and programmes covered by Council Decision 90/424/EEC (6), expenditure relating to administrative and personnel costs incurred by Member States and beneficiaries of aid from the EAGF shall be borne by the Fund and in this case the expenditure proposed qualifies as justified. For financial control purposes, Articles 9, 36 and 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 are to apply.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In the second paragraph of Article 13 of Decision 2008/965/EC ‘EUR 400 000’ is replaced by ‘EUR 530 000’.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 94/2009
of 30 January 2009
adopting temporary exceptional support measure for the pigmeat and beef market in form of a disposal scheme in Ireland
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 191, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The situation of the pigmeat market in Ireland is particularly critical taken into account the recent findings of elevated levels of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in pigmeat originating in Ireland. The competent authorities have taken various measures to address the situation.
(2) Contaminated animal feed was delivered to pig and cattle farms in Ireland. The affected pig farms constitute 7 % of the total pig production in Ireland. The contaminated feed constitutes a very large portion of the pig diet resulting in elevated levels of dioxins in meat from pigs from the affected farms. Given the difficulties in tracing back the pigmeat to farms and given the elevated levels of dioxin found in the affected pigmeat, the Irish authorities decided to recall, as a precautionary measure, all pigmeat and pigmeat products from the market.
(3) Given the exceptional circumstances and the practical difficulties that the pigmeat market in Ireland is experiencing, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008 of 17 December 2008 adopting emergency support measures for the pigmeat market in form of private storage aid in Ireland (2).
(4) The dioxin contamination and the application of the precautionary measure to recall all pigmeat and pigmeat products is causing very serious disturbance of the pigmeat market in Ireland. This situation is directly linked to a loss of consumer confidence arising from potential risks to public health. In addition, some cattle remained on farms where samples from other cattle had shown elevated levels of dioxin. Therefore, the Irish authorities have requested the Commission to provide further emergency support measures for the pigmeat and beef market in Ireland.
(5) The European Council of 11 and 12 December 2008 invited the Commission to support farmers and slaughterhouses in Ireland by way of co-financed measures to remove relevant animals and products from the market.
(6) Section I of Chapter II of Part II of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for exceptional support measures. In particular Article 44 thereof provides that the Commission may adopt exceptional market support measures in case of animal diseases and Article 45 provides that, with regard to the poultrymeat and eggs sectors, the Commission may adopt exceptional market support measures in order to take account of serious market disturbances directly attributed to a loss in consumer confidence due to public health, or animal health risks. In order to resolve the practical problems arising from the current situation of the pigmeat and beef market in Ireland, it is appropriate to take a temporary exceptional measure to support that market, similar to those laid down in Section I.
(7) That exceptional market support measure should be in the form of a disposal scheme of certain pigs and cattle that come from farms that have used contaminated feed. Furthermore, it is appropriate to provide for a disposal scheme of pigmeat products that are blocked in or under the responsibility and control of slaughterhouses in Ireland, and for which it is uncertain to what extent these products have come from pigs that came from farms that used contaminated feed. The measure should remove the possibility that products from animals that may contain elevated levels of contamination enter the food or feed chain.
(8) That exceptional market support measure should be partly financed by the Community. The contribution of the Community in the compensation should be expressed as maximum average amounts per animal or tonne of pigmeat, for a limited quantity of the products concerned, while the Irish authorities should be required to determine the compensation price and thus the amount of the part-financing based on the market value of the animals and the products compensated for within specified limits.
(9) The competent Irish authorities should apply all controls and surveillance measures required for the proper application of the exceptional measure provided for in this Regulation and inform the Commission accordingly.
(10) Given that for reasons of animal welfare, public health and market supply, the Irish authorities had to start the disposal of the animals as well as of the products concerned as of 13 December 2008, it is necessary to provide that this Regulation should apply as of that date.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Scope
An exceptional market support measure for Ireland is hereby introduced in the form of a disposal scheme for:
(a) pigs that had been on farms that used contaminated animal feed between 1 September 2008 and 6 December 2008;
(b) cattle that remain on farms where samples from other cattle have tested positive for elevated levels of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs);
(c) fresh, chilled or frozen pigmeat which is coming from animals that had been slaughtered no later than 6 December 2008 in Ireland and which is stored in Ireland:
(i) in the slaughterhouse; or
(ii) outside the slaughterhouse, under the responsibility and the control of the slaughterhouse, subject to the slaughterhouse demonstrating to the satisfaction of the competent Irish authorities.
Disposal of animals and meat
1. Ireland is authorised to compensate for the disposal of the animals and the meat referred to in Article 1, with a view to the slaughtering and full destruction of these animals and their relevant by-products and the destruction of the meat in compliance with the relevant veterinary legislation.
The destruction of live animals shall be accomplished by delivery to a slaughterhouse followed, after counting and weighing, by transport of all carcases to a rendering plant, where all materials shall be rendered.
Where animals are unfit for transport to a slaughterhouse, the animals may be killed on farm.
Destruction of meat will be effected after weighing and transport to a rendering plant, where all materials shall be rendered.
These operations shall be carried out under the permanent supervision of the competent Irish authorities, using standardised checklists incorporating weighing and counting sheets.
2. The compensation to be paid by the competent Irish authorities for the disposal of the animals referred to in points (a) and (b) of Article 1 and of the products referred to in point (c) of that Article shall not exceed the market value of the animals and products concerned at the moment prior to the decision of the Irish authorities to recall, as a precautionary measure, all pigmeat and pigmeat products from the market.
In order to avoid any over-compensation, the compensation paid by the competent Irish authorities shall take into account any other type of compensation to which the suppliers of animals or slaughterhouses may be entitled to.
3. The compensation for the products to be disposed of under this Regulation shall be paid by the competent Irish authorities after the reception of the products by the rendering plant and after controls in accordance with Article 4(1)(c). Compensation paid under this Regulation by the competent Irish authorities shall be eligible for Community part-financing after the full destruction of the products concerned has been established on the basis of all necessary documentary and physical checks.
Point (a) of the third subparagraph of Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
Only expenditure declared in respect of July 2009 at the latest shall be eligible for Community part financing.
Financing
1. For each fully destroyed animal and meat, the Community shall provide part-financing equivalent to 50 % of the expenditure incurred under Article 2(1). That part-financing shall be equivalent to not more than a maximum average amount of:
(a) EUR 54,77 per head for not more than 130 000 pigs;
(b) EUR 468,62 per head for not more than 7 000 cattle;
(c) EUR 1 133,50 per tonne of pigmeat for not more than 9 050 tonnes of pigmeat.
2. The competent Irish authorities shall determine the amount of the part-financing per animal and meat product compensated based on the market value referred to in Article 2(2) and respecting the maximum average amounts set out in paragraph 1 of this Article.
3. No later than 31 August 2009, Ireland shall notify the Commission the total compensatory expenditures, by indicating the number and categories of pigs and cattle as well the volume and types of pigmeat that has been disposed of under this Regulation.
4. Ιf it is established that the beneficiary of the amount paid under Article 2(3) has also received compensation under an insurance policy or compensation paid by a third party, Ireland shall recover that amount and credit 50 % of it to the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund as a deduction of the corresponding expenditure. If the amount paid under Article 2(3) was higher than the compensation received, Ireland shall recover an amount equal to that compensation.
Controls and communication
1. Ireland shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure proper application of this Regulation, in particular by:
(a) ensuring that none of the products compensated for under Article 2 enter the food or feed chain by envisaging appropriate on-the-spot supervision, denaturing agents as appropriate and seals on transports;
(b) performing at least once per calendar month, administrative and accounting controls at each participating rendering plant to ensure that all carcases and pigmeat delivered since the beginning of the scheme or since the last such control have been rendered;
(c) in respect of fresh, chilled or frozen pigmeat stored at locations other than slaughterhouses, as referred to in Article 1(c)(ii), performing an on-the-spot inventory control to establish the pigmeat quantity deriving from animals slaughtered no later than 6 December 2008, ensuring that such pigmeat is secure, easily identifiable and kept apart physically from other stocks, and that removal operations are subject to the necessary identification and weighing controls;
(d) providing for on-the-spot controls and detailed reports on those controls indicating in particular:
(i) the age-span, classification and total number of animals transported from the farm, the date and time of their transport to and arrival at a slaughterhouse;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organisation of the market in sugar (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/98 (2), and in particular Articles 14(2) and 37(6) thereof,
Whereas Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that, during the marketing years 1995/96 to 2000/01 and in order to ensure adequate supplies to Community refineries, a special reduced duty is to be levied on imports of raw cane sugar originating in States with which the Community has concluded supply arrangements on preferential terms; whereas at present such agreements have been concluded by Council Decision 95/284/EC (3) only with the ACP States party to Protocol 8 on ACP sugar annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC Lomé Convention, and with the Republic of India;
Whereas the quantities of special preferential sugar to be imported are calculated in accordance with the said Article 37 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance; whereas the balance has indicated the need to import raw sugar and to open at this stage for the 1998/99 marketing year a tariff quota at the special reduced rate of duty as provided for in the abovementioned agreements so that the Community refineries' supply need can be met for part of the year; whereas tariff quotas have in this way been opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1375/98 (4) for the period 1 July 1998 to 28 February 1999; whereas the production forecasts for raw cane sugar are now available for the 1998/99 marketing year; whereas the necessary tariff quotas should consequently be opened for the second part of the marketing year; whereas, because of the presumed maximum refining needs fixed by Member States and the shortfall resulting from the forecast supply balance, provision should be made to authorise imports for each refining Member State, for the period 1 March to 30 June 1999;
Whereas the above agreements lay down that the refiners in question must pay a minimum purchase price equal to the guaranteed price for raw sugar, minus the adjustment aid fixed for the marketing year in question; whereas this minimum price must therefore be fixed by taking account of the factors applying in the 1998/99 marketing year;
Whereas in order to avoid a rupture of supplies, provision should be made in respect of the quantities to be imported under Regulation (EC) No 1375/98 for which the licences have not been requested up to 28 February 1999, for the Member States concerned to be authorised to issue the said licences after that date during the 1998/99 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
A tariff quota is hereby opened for the period 1 March to 30 June 1999 under Decision 95/284/EC, in respect of imports of raw cane sugar for refining, amounting to 69 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the ACP States covered by that Decision.
This tariff quota shall bear the serial number 09.4097.
1. A special reduced duty of EUR 5,41 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar shall apply to imports of the quantity referred to in Article 1.
2. Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1916/95 (5) notwithstanding, the minimum purchase price to be paid by the Community refiners shall be fixed for the period referred to in Article 1 at EUR 49,68 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar.
The following Member States are hereby authorised to import under the quota referred to in Article 1 and on the terms laid down in Article 2(1) the following shortfall expressed as white sugar:
(a) Finland: 15 000 tonnes,
(b) metropolitan France: 39 500 tonnes,
(c) mainland Portugal: 14 500 tonnes,
(d) United Kingdom: 0 tonnes.
The Member States referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1375/98 are authorised, for the quantities in the said Article for which the applications for import licences have not been lodged before 1 March 1999, to issue such licences to allow import and refining to take place until 30 June 1999.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 1999.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.
(3) Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.
(4) It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 234/79 of 5 February 1979 on the procedure for adjusting the Common Customs Tariff nomenclature used for agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2) contains the combined nomenclature currently in force.
(2) In accordance with the outcome of the negotiations with the United States of America concluded in 1995, certain blends of residues from the manufacture of starch from maize with certain other types of residue, in particular screenings from maize and residues of maize steep-water used for the manufacture of alcohol or of other starch derived products imported into the Community were exempted from customs duty. Council Regulation (EC) No 344/96 (3) consequently incorporated into the Combined Nomenclature a subheading 2309 90 20 to classify this product separately.
(3) As the result of an omission, Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (4) was not adapted accordingly. This adaptation must therefore be made, with effect from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, by incorporating code CN 2309 90 20 into the list of products included in Annex I to that Regulation.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for cereals,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

(2) Whereas the accounts of three paying agencies in Spain concerning expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section for the 1997 financial year which could not be cleared by Decision 98/324/EC (5) were disjoined from that Decision; for those paying agencies, the annual accounts and the accompanying documents now permit the Commission to take a decision on the veracity, completences, and accuracy of the accounts submitted;
(3) Whereas a reduction for Greece for milk levies not yet repaid to the Fund, made as part of the reductions and suspensions of advances for the 1997 financial year, was not taken into account in Decision 98/324/EC; whereas that omission now needs to be rectified in order to prevent any prejudice to the Fund;
(4) Whereas a reduction was made in Decision 98/324/EC for Spain for transport costs in the food aid programme; whereas following receipt of further justification, that amount can now be accepted for funding;

of 23 April 2004
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include quinoxyfen as active substance
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/82/EC (2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 1 August 1995 an application from Dow Elanco Europe (now Dow Agro Sciences), for the inclusion of the active substance quinoxyfen in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 96/457/EEC (3) confirmed that the dossier was‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The nominated rapporteur Member State, submitted a draft assessment report concerning the substance to the Commission on 11 October 1996.
(3) The draft assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 28 November 2003 in the format of the Commission review report for quinoxyfen.
(4) The documents and information were also submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants for separate consultation. The Committee was asked to comment on the accumulation of the substance in soil and on its potential environmental impact. In its opinion (4), the Committee noted that the available studies and the field study on organic matter degradation (litter bag study) in particular did not convincingly demonstrate an acceptable impact on the environment, mainly due to insufficient statistical power of the experimental design. The Committee further noted that a fraction of the applied quinoxyfen may volatilise after application to a crop. Although available results indicate a rapid decomposition of the substance in air, the Committee suggested that measurements of the half-life should be repeated after appropriate schemes have been developed for assessing the environmental risks of atmospheric transport of plant protection products. This recommendation of the Committee was taken into account in the review report of the active substance.
(5) In accordance with Article 6(4) of Directive 91/414/EEC and in view of a possible unfavourable decision for quinoxyfen the Commission organised a tripartite meeting with the main data submitter and the rapporteur Member State on 13 February 2003. The main data submitter provided further data in order to meet the initial concerns.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing quinoxyfen may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include quinoxyfen in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) The Commission review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review report, except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC, should be kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.
(8) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant protection products containing quinoxyfen and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, by the end of this period at the latest, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish, by 28 February 2005 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 March 2005.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant protection product containing quinoxyfen to ensure that the conditions relating to this active substance set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC before 28 February 2005.
2. Member States shall, for each authorised plant protection product containing quinoxyfen as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 August 2004, re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Where necessary and by 28 February 2006 at the latest, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation for each such plant protection product.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 September 2004.

(1) Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 (2) lays down that intervention butter placed on sale must have entered into storage before 1 September 1999.
(2) Given the situation on the butter market and the quantities of butter in intervention storage and considering that the reduction in the intervention price for butter as from 1 July 2004 should be reflected in reduced market prices it is appropriate that butter in storage before 1 April 2002 should be available for sale.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

of 30 September 1987
amending Regulation No 282/67/EEC on detailed rules for intervention for oil seeds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1915/87 (2), and in particular Article 26 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 26 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that rape and sunflower seed may be bought in by an intervention agency, in particular where the Community market price for such seeds is lower than the buying-in price; whereas Article 2 of Commission Regulation No 282/67/EEC (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2709/87 (4), must specify the conditions under which intervention buying is to be authorized or suspended and the components to be taken into account for determining the Community market prices;
Whereas recourse to intervention on the slightest movement of prices must be avoided; whereas intervention purchasing should be triggered off only if market prices persistently remain below the intervention price; whereas a period of at least two weeks during which market prices are lower than the intervention price, should be required;
Whereas market prices recorded at locations outside production areas must be corrected by an amount representing the costs of movement between the main production areas and these locations; whereas this must be a fixed amount set on the basis of the different forms of transport used and of the distances between the production areas and these locations;
Whereas if the intervention arrangements are to run satisfactorily the number of locations at which prices are recorded must be kept to a strict minimum;
Whereas it is necessary for the Commission to obtain information on seed market prices in the Community;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 605/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down transitional arrangements relating to the detailed rules for the buying in of oil seeds by intervention agencies in Spain and Portugal (5) stipulates that during the period 1 November to 31 December 1987 the minimum quantities of oil seeds that may be offered for intervention in Spain and in Portugal are 60 and 30 tonnes respectively; whereas this provision will remain applicable after this Regulation enters into force;
Whereas under the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal prices and aid in these countries for certain oil and fat sector products differ from those applicable in the rest of the Community and the market in these products in the two countries, particularly in oil seeds, is subject to trade restrictions until 31 December 1990; whereas consequently the markets in both countries present special characteristics requiring specific arrangements for reporting market prices in connection with the triggering off and termination of intervention purchasing;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Article 2 of Regulation No 282/67/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 2
1. Without prejudice to Regulation (EEC) No 605/86, any holder of uniform batches of at least 100 tonnes of either rape or sunflower seed harvested within the Community shall be entitled to offer that seed to the intervention agency on the terms laid down in this Regulation.
2. Intervention purchasing during the period indicated in Article 26 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be decided on, by the procedure laid down in Article 38 of that Regulation, if for a period of two consecutive weeks the market price for the week, recorded as provided for in paragraph 6, remains below the intervention price applicable for the week.
3. Intervention purchasing shall be terminated, by the procedure indicated in paragraph 2, if the market price recorded as provided for in paragraph 6 remains for three consecutive weeks at a level no lower than the intervention price applicable during that period.
Offers made before the decision terminating intervention purchasing shall, however, remain valid.
4. Market prices as mentioned in Article 26 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall mean the wholesale prices for a product delivered to store but not unloaded at the centres indicated in this paragraph and in paragraph 7.
The prices shall be for seed produced in the Member State in which the price is being recorded and shall be adjusted to discount the difference between the seed in question and standard quality seed.
The centres used shall be
- for rape seed: Dieppe, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Liverpool,
- for sunflower seed: Bordeaux and Ancona.
5. Member States in which the price recording centres are located shall notify the Commission, by Wednesday of each week at the latest, of prices recorded at the said centres since Wednesday of the previous week and of all factors entering into the formation of these prices.
6. The prices indicated in paragraph 5 shall be reduced by 0,7 ECU per 100 kilograms.
The market price to be used for the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be determined from the prices notified for each centre reduced by the abovementioned amount.
7. In the cases of Spain and of Portugal, intervention purchasing shall be decided on if the prices recorded, as provided for in the previous paragraphs, for Seville and for Lisbon respectively fall below the intervention price applicable for the Member State. However in the case of prices recorded at Seville the amount to be deducted shall be 0,5 ECU per 100 kilograms.
A decision to terminate intervention purchasing shall be taken if the situation described in paragraph 3 pertains at the centre.'

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas in order to carry out the tasks which are assigned to it by the Treaty, and in particular by Articles 2, 92, 117, 118, 122 and 123 thereof, the Commission must be acquainted with the situation and developments in employment and unemployment;
Whereas the statistical information available in each of the Member States does not provide a suitable basis for comparison, particularly because of the differences between the laws, rules and administrative practices of the Member States on which those statistics are based;
Whereas the best method of ascertaining the level and the structure of employment and unemployment consists in carrying out harmonized and synchronized Community labour force sample survey, as has been done regularly in the past;
Whereas in a period of continuing and increasing difficulties on the labour market and of structural changes in the employment sector, fully up-to-date information must be made available;
Whereas only the repetition in 1988 of the survey carried out in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 will enable this information to be obtained.
In the Spring of 1988 the Statistical Office of the European Communities shall conduct a labour force sample survey for the Commission based on a sample of households in each of the Member States.
The survey shall be carried out in each of the Member States in a sample of households having their residence in the territory of those States at the time of the survey. The Member States shall take measures to prevent double counting of persons with more than one residence.
The information shall be collected for each member of the households included in the sample. In cases where one member of a household provides information for other members, this shall be clearly indicated.
The sample shall compromise between 60 000 and 100 000 households in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain, between 30 000 and 50 000 in Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Greece and Portugal, between 15 000 and 30 000 in Denmark and approximately 10 000 in Luxembourg.
The survey shall cover:
(a) the individual characteristics of all members of the household questioned, namely: sex, age, marital status, nationality, type of household in which the person is living and surveyed, type of family relationship within the household. The members of one household shall be identified by a joint serial number and a code designating the State and region in which the household is questioned;
(b) situation with regard to economic activity of these persons at the time of the survey and characteristics of their work as follows: occupation, status, economic activity, number of hours usually and actually worked and reasons for any difference between the two; full or part-time work, permanent or temporary work and any paid second job;
(c) attempts to find work, with, in particular the following information: the type and extent of the work sought, the conditions and reasons, methods and length of time spent seeking work, whether unemployment benefit or aid is being received, the situation directly preceding the start of the search for work and the availability for work or the reasons for not being available;
(d) the highest level of education or training completed: the type and purpose of educational and training courses in which persons aged from 14 to 49 have recently taken part;
(e) work experience of persons of working age without work including the characteristics of the last job and the time of, and reasons for, its coming to an end;
(f) the situation of the members of the household one year before the present survey, including: country and region of residence, position with regard to economic activity and, if employed, economic activity and occupational status of the job held. Article 5
The information shall be gathered by the statistical services of the Member States on the basis of the list of questions drawn up by the Commission in cooperation with the competent services of the Member States.
The Commission shall determine, in collaboration with the Member States, the details of the survey, in particular the starting and closing dates and the deadlines for transmission of the results. The statistical services of the Member States shall ensure the representative nature of the sample according to practice in the Member States, which may, in certain cases, make the provision of replies compulsory. They shall also ensure that at least a quarter of the survey units are taken from the 1987 survey and that a proportion of at least a quarter may form part of a subsequent survey. These two groups shall be identified by a code.
The Member States shall endeavour to ensure that the information requested is furnished truthfully and in its entirety within the period specified. They shall ensure that the survey provides a reliable foundation for a comparative analysis at Community level as well as at the level of the Member States and certain regions. The statistical services of the Member States shall forward to the Statistical Office of the European Communities the results of the survey, duly checked, for each person questioned, without any indication of name or address.
Items of information relating to individuals provided in the context of the survey may be used for statistical purposes only. They may not be used for fiscal or other purposes and may not be communicated to third parties.
The Member States and the Commission shall take the requisite steps to penalize any infringement of the obligation under the first paragraph to preserve the confidentiality of the information gathered.
The Member States shall receive a contribution towards the conduct of the survey. The amount of the contribution shall be set off against the appropriations provided for this purpose in the budget of the European Communities.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas milk and milk products are included on the list of products in Annex II to the Treaty; whereas production of and trade in such milk and products constitute an important source of income for the farming population;
Whereas, in order to ensure the rational development of this sector, to increase its productivity and progressively to establish the conditions for an internal market, health rules applying to production and placing on the market have been laid down at Community level by Directive 92/46/EEC (4)
Whereas it is possible that, because of particular circumstances, some establishments will be unable, by the date of application of the said Directive, to comply with all of the specific rules laid down; whereas, in order to take account of local situations and to prevent abrupt closures of establishments, arrangements should be made for temporary and limited derogations to be granted for establishments in operation before 1 January 1993;
Whereas the granting of derogations from specific Community health rules to certain establishments must be without prejudice to the requirement that all operations connected with production and placing on the market conform to the hygiene rules laid down by the aforesaid Directive;
Whereas, to forestall any risk of abuse, these derogations must be strictly controlled by the Commission; whereas to this end there should be a procedure for close and effective cooperation between the Commission and the Member States within the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Article 1
Member States shall ensure that from 1 January 1998:
- all establishments fulfil the requirements of Directive 92/46/EEC,
- drinking milk and milk-based products from such establishments bear the health mark specified in Annex C, Chapter IV.A.3 of Directive 92/46/EEC.
1. Member States may, until 31 December 1997, authorize establishments which, on the date on which this Directive is notified, have not been judged to comply with the requirements laid down by Directive 92/46/EEC for their approval, to derogate from some of the requirements laid down in Chapters I and V of Annex B to that Directive if drinking milk and milk-based products from such establishments do not bear the health mark specified in Annex C, Chapter IV.A.3 of the said Directive and are not intended for trade.
2. Derogations as referred to in paragraph 1 may be granted only to establishments which have, before 1 April 1993, submitted an application for a derogation to the competent national authority.
This application must be accompanied by a work plan and programme indicating the period within which it would be possible for the establishment to comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1.
Where financial assistance is requested from the Community, only applications complying with the requirements of Directive 92/46/EEC can be accepted.
Member States shall submit to the Commission before 1 July 1993 a list of the establishments for which it is proposed to grant a derogation. This list shall, for each individual establishment, specify the type and duration of the derogations envisaged, the nature of the products manufactured, the checks to be made on products from the establishment in question and the staff responsible for carrying out those checks.
Establishments which have not submitted applications for a derogation by the date referred to in the first subparagraph or whose applications have been refused by the Member State concerned shall cease to be authorized to place drinking milk or milk-based products on the market until they have been judged to comply with the conditions of approval referred to in paragraph 1. This measure may apply to only part of the establishment and the products concerned.
On receipt of the list submitted by a Member State in accordance with the fourth subparagraph, the Commission shall have two months within which to examine that list and to submit it, if necessary after amendment, to the Standing Veterinary Committee, which shall decide in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 4.
3. The list of establishments which have been granted derogations shall be published by the Commission.

Member States may, until 31 December 1997, authorize establishments which are unable to obtain supplies of milk which meets the conditions laid down in Annex A, Chapter IV, of Directive 92/46/EEC to place drinking milk or milk-based products on the national market if such milk or milk-based products do not bear the health mark provided for in Annex C, Chapter IV.A.3 of that Directive and are not intended for trade.
2. Establishments approved in accordance with Article 10 or Article 11 of Directive 92/46/EEC may receive the authorization provided for in paragraph 1 for part of their production under the following conditions:
- the operator or manager of the establishment must take all necessary measures, under the supervision of the competent authority, to ensure that raw milk or milk-based products which do not meet the requirements of Annex A, Chapter IV, of Directive 92/46/EEC are treated or processed in a clearly separated place or at a completely different time from milk and products which do meet these requirements and are intended for trade,
- the operator or manager of the establishment must show to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the measures taken to keep a constant check on the use of the health mark ensure that it cannot be mistakenly applied to the products referred to in paragraph 1, and must keep at the disposal of the competent authority a record of raw materials and finished products which will allow the two separate circuits to be verified.
Where reference is made to the procedure provided for in this Article, the rules applicable shall be those set out in Article 31 of Directive 92/46/EEC.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Article 2 (2) before 1 January 1993 and with the other provisions of this Directive before 1 January 1994. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 10 December 2007
providing Community macro-financial assistance to Lebanon
(2007/860/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
After consulting the Economic and Financial Committee,
Whereas:
(1) On 4 January 2007 the authorities of Lebanon adopted a comprehensive programme of socio-economic reforms, which simultaneously embraces fiscal, structural and social measures, setting medium-term priorities for government action.
(2) Lebanon, on the one hand, and the European Community and its Member States on the other hand, have signed an Association Agreement (1), which entered into force on 1 April 2006.
(3) The authorities of Lebanon are committed to economic stabilisation and structural reforms, supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) through a programme under the Emergency Post-Conflict Arrangement (EPCA) which was approved on 9 April 2007.
(4) Relations between Lebanon and the European Union are developing within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy, which is expected to lead to deeper economic integration. The EU and Lebanon have agreed on a European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan identifying medium-term priorities in EU-Lebanon relations and related policies.
(5) Lebanon faces substantial financing needs arising from the mounting financial constraints of the public sector, including a high level of public debt, aggravated by the July-August 2006 military conflict and a projected deterioration of the balance of payments in 2007.
(6) The Lebanese authorities have requested financial assistance on a concessional basis from the International Financial Institutions, the Community and other bilateral donors. Over and above the financing from the IMF and the World Bank, a substantial residual financing gap remains to be covered to relieve the country’s balance of payments, public finances and public debt and support the policy objectives attached to the authorities’ reform efforts.
(7) Lebanon is one of the most indebted countries in the world facing a heavy debt overhang. In these circumstances, the Community assistance to Lebanon should be made available in the form of a combination of a grant and loan, as an appropriate measure to help the beneficiary country at this critical juncture.
(8) In order to ensure efficient protection of the Community’s financial interests linked to the present financial assistance, it is necessary to provide for appropriate measures by Lebanon related to the prevention of, and to the fight against, fraud, corruption and any other irregularities linked to this assistance, as well as for controls by the Commission and audits by the Court of Auditors.
(9) The release of the Community financial assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.
(10) This assistance should be managed by the Commission in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee,
1. The Community shall make available to Lebanon financial assistance amounting to a maximum of EUR 80 million, with a view to supporting Lebanon’s domestic efforts of post-war reconstruction and sustainable economic recovery, and in this way, alleviating the financial constraints on the implementation of the government’s economic programme.
Given Lebanon’s high level of indebtedness the Community financial assistance shall consist of EUR 50 million in loans and up to EUR 30 million in grants.
2. The Community financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with the agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and Lebanon.
3. The Community financial assistance shall be made available for two years starting from the first day after the date on which this Decision takes effect. However, if circumstances so require, the Commission, after consultation of the Economic and Financial Committee, may decide to extend the availability period by a maximum of one year.
1. The Commission is hereby empowered to agree with the authorities of Lebanon, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy and financial conditions attached to the Community financial assistance, to be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding and a Grant and a Loan Agreements. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements or understandings referred to in Article 1(2).
2. During the implementation of the Community financial assistance, the Commission shall monitor the soundness of Lebanon’s financial arrangements, administrative procedures, internal and external control mechanisms which are relevant to such assistance.
3. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals that economic policy in Lebanon is in accordance with the objectives of the Community financial assistance and that the agreed economic policy and financial conditions are being satisfactorily fulfilled. In doing so, the Commission shall coordinate closely with the Bretton Woods Institutions, and, when required, with the Economic and Financial Committee.
1. The Community financial assistance shall be made available by the Commission to Lebanon in a maximum of three instalments.
2. The disbursement of each instalment shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory implementation of the economic programme supported by the IMF.
3. In addition, the second and third instalments shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory implementation of the economic programme supported by the IMF and of the EU-Lebanon European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan and any other measures agreed with the Commission as set out in Article 2(1), and not before one quarter after the release of the previous instalment.
4. The funds shall be paid to the Banque du Liban exclusively in support of Lebanon’s financing needs.
The Community financial assistance shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (2) and its implementing rules. In particular, the Memorandum of Understanding and the Grant/Loan Agreements with the authorities of Lebanon shall provide for appropriate measures by Lebanon related to the prevention of, and the fight against, fraud, corruption and other irregularities affecting the assistance. They shall also provide for controls by the Commission, including the European Anti-Fraud Office, with the right to perform on-the-spot checks and inspections, and for audits by the Court of Auditors, where appropriate, to be carried out on the spot.
By 31 August of each year the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, including an evaluation of the implementation of this Decision in the preceding year. The report shall indicate the connection between the policy conditions set out in Article 2(1), Lebanon’s ongoing economic and fiscal performance, and the Commission’s decision to release the instalments of the assistance.

Having regard to Council Directive 76/756/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 76/756/EEC is one of the separate Directives in the context of the EC type-approval procedure established by Directive 70/156/EEC. The provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to Directive 76/756/EEC.
(2) In order to increase road safety by improving the conspicuity of large trucks and their trailers the obligation for fitting retro reflective marking on these vehicles should be introduced into Directive 76/756/EEC.
(3) In order to take into account further amendments to UN/ECE Regulation No 48 (3) on which the Community has already voted upon, it is appropriate to adapt Directive 76/756/EEC to technical progress by aligning it to the technical requirements of this UN/ECE Regulation. In the interest of clarity Annex II to Directive 76/756/EEC should be replaced.
(4) Directive 76/756/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress,
Annex II to Directive 76/756/EEC is replaced by the Annex to this Directive.
With effect from 10 July 2011, if the requirements laid down in Directive 76/756/EEC, as amended by this Directive, are not complied with, Member States, on grounds related to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices, shall consider Certificates of Conformity which accompany new vehicles in accordance with the provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 7(1) of that Directive.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 40(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 of 16 March 2007 establishing, for the 2007/08 marketing year, the percentage provided for in Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (2) fixed the withdrawal percentage for that marketing year at 13,5 %.
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 adjusted the traditional supply needs for refining sugar under Article 29(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 by applying to them a reduction equal to the withdrawal percentage, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, in the version in force at the time of the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 290/2007. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2007 (3), the said needs should not be adjusted by a withdrawal applied to sugar and isoglucose production under quotas. The reduction should therefore no longer be applied to the said needs.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 290/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (2), in particular Article 23 thereof, which provides that Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (4), shall continue to apply to proceedings in relation to which an investigation pending on 1 September 1994 had not been concluded by the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 3283/94,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, and in particular Articles 10 (6) and 14 thereof,
After consultation with the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
I. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1798/90 (5), as amended by Regulations (EEC) No 2966/92 (6) and (EEC) No 2455/93 (7), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of monosodium glutamate originating in Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand with the exception of imports from certain producers in these countries from which the Commission accepted undertakings by Regulation (EEC) No 547/90 (8) and Decisions 92/493/EEC (9) and 93/479/EEC (10).
(2) During the review concluded by Regulation (EEC) No 2455/93 and Decision 93/479/EEC, all the companies were informed of the essential facts and considerations on which it was intended to amend the measures and were given the opportunity to make their views known. The Commission subsequently accepted price undertakings from all known exporters. Exports from these countries made by other exporters, which in this case were negligible, continued to be subject to anti-dumping duty.
(3) By a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (11), the Commission, after consultation with the Advisory Committee and in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`), initiated a review of the anti-dumping measures in force, following receipt of an application lodged by the Community industry. The application alleged, inter alia, that the monosodium glutamate originating in the countries concerned had been imported into the Community at prices lower than those required by the existing price undertakings and, therefore, that the price undertakings are not suitable measures in this proceeding. It should be noted that, with two exceptions, all exporters from which undertakings have been accepted cooperated in this review. The following exporters cooperated in this review:
Indonesia:
- PT Indomiwon Citra Inti,
- PT Jico Argung (related selling company of PT Indomiwon Citra Inti);
Republic of Korea:
- Cheil Foods & Chemicals Inc.,
- Miwon Co. Ltd,
- Miwon Trading & Shipping Co., Ltd (related selling company of Miwon Co. Ltd);
Taiwan:
- Ve Wong Corporation,
- Tung Hai Fermentation Ind. Corp.;
Thailand:
- Thai Fermentation Industry Corporation.
(4) The product covered by the application and for which the review investigation was initiated is monosodium glutamate produced in the form of crystals of various sizes and falling within CN code ex 2922 42 10. It is mainly used as a flavour enhancer in soups, broths, fish and meat dishes and ready made foods. The product is the same as that in the Regulation under review.
II. REASONS TO BELIEVE THAT UNDERTAKINGS HAD BEEN VIOLATED
(5) The application giving rise to the abovementioned review, alleged, inter alia, that price undertakings had been violated. While this review is still in progress and any conclusions on this issue are therefore necessarily provisional, an examination of the allegation that price undertakings had been violated led to the following results:
The Commission requested information on resale prices for the product concerned from all importers having purchased monosodium glutamate from those exporters which cooperated in the abovementioned review. The period for which such information was requested, i.e. 1 May 1993 to 30 April 1994, corresponded to the investigation period of the review.
Information was received from independent importers relating to resale prices in the Community of approximately 21 % of all the cooperating exporters' sales to the European Community. It covered resales of the product concerned purchased from the aforementioned Indonesian, Korean and Taiwanese exporters.
In spite of the fact that the Commission could only investigate resale prices from those importers who agreed to cooperate, it found clear indications that the price undertakings were being violated by the aforementioned Indonesian, Korean and Taiwanese exporters, as the great majority of resales of the product concerned originating from each of them were made at prices which could not cover the importers' purchase prices (i.e. set at the undertaking level) plus a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses, profit and, where appropriate, customs duty. The resale prices of this sample of transactions reflected the general situation on the Community market, as described by the applicant.
Even if the export prices, taken at their face value did correspond to the terms of the undertakings, the level of the resale prices of the merchandise in the Community nevertheless constitutes a strong indication that compensation, in whatever form, was granted by the exporters to their customers in the Community. This would constitute a violation of the undertakings.
(6) In addition, two exporters refused to cooperate properly in the abovementioned review.
One of these exporters made some exports of the product concerned to a non-cooperating importer located in Germany. The exporter concerned did not disclose fully its relationship with the German importer, while the Commission had strong reasons to believe that these two companies were related.
The other exporter submitted a response to the questionnaire which was issued in the course of the abovementioned review, but it refused to cooperate in the verification of the information contained therein.
(7) Taking into consideration all the facts set out in recitals 5 and 6, the Commission concluded that, in accordance with Article 10 (6) of the Basic Regulation, there were reasons to believe that the price undertakings accepted by the Commission from the abovementioned exporters had been violated. In these circumstances, the price undertakings concerned should be withdrawn and replaced by a provisional anti-dumping duty based on the facts established before the acceptance of these price undertakings.
III. COMMUNITY INTEREST
(8) The Council, in Regulation (EEC) No 2455/93, concluded that it was in the Community interest that measures be imposed on imports of monosodium glutamate from the four countries concerned.
(9) It has been provisionally found that the conclusions on Community interest as set out in the above Regulation are still valid and should remain unchanged. Moreover, it is in the fundamental interest of the Community to take action in cases where undertakings are violated, as such violation constitutes a circumvention of measures that have been duly adopted and should therefore be remedied.
(10) In the light of the above, it was considered to be in the interest of the Community that the acceptance by the Commission of the price undertakings from the abovementioned companies be withdrawn and replaced by a provisional anti-dumping duty.
IV. EXPORTERS' COMMENTS
(11) In accordance with Article 10 (6) of the Basic Regulation, the exporters concerned were given the opportunity of expressing their views on the Commission's observations and its intention to impose provisional anti-dumping duties. Their comments were taken into account as appropriate.
V. PROVISIONAL DUTIES
(12) In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that, pursuant to Article 10 (6) of the Basic Regulation, provisional duties should be calculated on the basis of the facts established before the undertakings were accepted. The rate of duty corresponding to the injury margin necessary to eliminate injurious dumping was established during the earlier investigation for each exporter as an alternative to the price undertakings accepted by Decision 93/479/EEC. The amounts of these duties were disclosed to the exporters concerned and were not disputed by them.
VI. FINAL PROVISION
(13) In the interests of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which the parties concerned may make their views known in writing and request a hearing. Furthermore, it should be stated that all findings made for the purpose of this Regulation are provisional and may be reconsidered for the purpose of any definitive duty which the Commission may propose,
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of monosodium glutamate, falling within CN code 2922 42 10, originating in the countries and produced by the companies listed hereafter.
2. The rate of duty applicable to the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, shall be as follows:
>TABLE>
3. The release for free circulation in the Community of the product referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provision of a security equivalent to the provisional duty.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the parties concerned may make their views known in writing and request a hearing by the Commission within one month of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

The aim of the Community cooperation programme, entitled the "European Programme for Reconstruction and Development in South Africa" (EPRD), shall be to contribute to South Africa's harmonious and sustainable economic and social development, through programmes and measures designed to reduce poverty and encourage economic growth which benefits the poor, and to its continued integration into the world economy, and to consolidate the foundations laid for a democratic society and a State governed by the rule of law in which human rights and fundamental freedoms are fully respected.
This will be achieved through support for international targets and policies for sustainable development based on UN conventions and resolutions, thereby contributing to the target of reducing by at least one half the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015.
Areas of cooperation
1. Programmes shall focus on the fight against poverty, take into account the needs of the previously disadvantaged communities and integrate gender and environmental dimensions of development. In all these programmes special attention shall be paid to the strengthening of institutional capacities.
2. Development cooperation to be carried out under this Regulation will focus mainly on:
(a) support for policies, instruments and programmes aiming at the continued integration of the South African economy into the world economy and trade, for employment creation, development of the private sector, regional cooperation and integration. In this latter context, special attention will be given to providing support for the adjustment efforts occasioned in the region by the establishment of the free-trade area under the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement, especially in the Southern African Customs Union. Promotion of mutual general interest cooperation between the European Union and South African businesses may also be considered;
(b) improvement of living conditions and delivery of basic social services;
(c) support to democratisation, the protection of human rights, sound public management, the strengthening of local governments and the involvement of civil society in the development process.
3. Dialogue and partnership between public authorities and non-governmental development partners and actors will be promoted.
Eligibility of cooperation partners
Cooperation partners eligible for financial assistance under this Regulation shall be national, provincial and local authorities and public bodies, non-governmental organisations and community-based organisations, regional and international organisations, institutions and public or private operators. Any other body may be eligible if so designated by both parties.
Means, expenses, information on the programme and coordination
1. The means that may be deployed under the cooperation operations referred to in Article 2 shall include in particular studies, technical assistance, training or other services, supplies and works, and also evaluation and monitoring audits and missions.
2. Community financing in local or foreign currency, depending on the needs and nature of the operation, may cover:
(a) government budget expenditures to support reforms and policy implementation in the priority sectors identified through a policy dialogue, using the most appropriate instruments including the form of direct targeted budget support in specific sectors where appropriate conditions (e.g. accountability for, and transparency of, the government budget, sound procurement procedures) are met;
(b) investment and equipment;
(c) in duly justified cases, and in particular where a programme is implemented by a non-government partner, taking into account the fact that the programme has to aim as much as possible at long term sustainability, recurrent expenditure (including administrative, maintenance and operating costs).
Part of the financing may be channelled towards targeted final beneficiaries (e.g. emerging entrepreneurs) through specialised financial institutions, including the European Investment Bank, in the form of risk capital or other instruments. The resources made available under this Regulation shall not be used in a manner that will permit unfair competition.
3. A financial contribution from the partners referred to in Article 3 shall in principle be required for each cooperation operation. That contribution will be requested in accordance with the possibilities of the partners concerned and depending on the nature of each operation. It shall be sought in particular in cases where a project is designed as a start-up for an open-ended activity, in order to ensure the sustainability of such projects after Community funding has ceased. It may be in kind. In specific cases where the partner is either a non-governmental organisation or a community-based organisation, the contribution may not be required.
4. The Commission may take any appropriate step to ensure that the Community character of aid provided under this Regulation is made known.
5. Opportunities may be sought for potential co-financing and parallel financing with other donors, particularly the Member States.
6. In order to achieve the objectives of coherence and complementarity referred to in the Treaty and with the aim of guaranteeing optimal effectiveness of the aid, the Commission shall take all necessary coordination measures, notably:
(a) the establishment of a system for the systematic exchange of information on actions financed or planned to be financed by the Community, the Member States and the EIB;
(b) on-the-spot coordination of these actions by means of regular meetings and exchange of information between the representatives of the Commission and the Member States in the beneficiary country.
7. The Commission, in liaison with the Member States, will seek to take any steps necessary to ensure adequate coordination with other donors concerned and to encourage an increasingly active role of the beneficiary country in the aid coordination process.
Form of financial support
Financial support under this Regulation shall take the form of grants.
Programming
1. Triennial indicative programming shall be carried out in the context of close contacts with the South African Government and taking account of the results of the coordination referred to in Article 4(6) and (7). The indicative programming process will fully respect the principle of recipient-led programming.
2. In order to prepare for each programming exercise, in the context of increased coordination with the Member States, including on the spot, the Commission shall draw up a Country Strategy Paper in dialogue with the South African government. This Country Strategy Paper shall take into account the results of the most recent overall evaluation of operations financed under Regulation (EC) No 2259/96 and under this Regulation and of other regular evaluations of operations. It will be linked to a problem-oriented analysis, and integrate cross-cutting issues such as poverty reduction, gender equality, environment and sustainability. A draft of the Triennial Indicative Programme will be annexed to the Country Strategy Paper. A limited number of sectors of cooperation based on the areas identified in Article 2 of this Regulation will be selected. For these sectors, modalities and accompanying measures will be set out. As far as possible performance indicators will be developed in order to facilitate the implementation of the objectives and its evaluation of impact.
The Country Strategy Paper and the draft Triennial Indicative Programme will be examined by the Committee referred to in Article 8(1), hereafter referred to as the "Committee".
The Committee shall give its opinion in accordance with the procedure in Article 8(2).
3. The Triennial Indicative Programme, will be negotiated and signed by the Commission and the South African Government. The final result of the negotiations will be sent to the Committee for information. If requested by one or more Committee members, this document will be discussed by the Committee.
4. The Committee shall once a year review the functioning, results and continued relevance of the Country Strategy Paper and the Triennial Indicative Programme. If evaluations or other relevant developments so indicate, the Committee may invite the Commission to negotiate with the South African Government amendments to the Triennial Indicative Programme.
5. The Committee shall once a year, on the basis of a presentation by the Commission, discuss the general guidelines for the operations to be carried out in the year ahead.

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 to the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are fixed as shown 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 Regulations (EC) No 2290/2000(1), (EC) No 2433/2000(2), (EC) No 2434/2000(3) and (EC) No 2435/2000(4) establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements with the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Romania respectively, and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Regulations (EC) No 2290/2000, (EC) No 2433/2000, (EC) No 2434/2000 and (EC) No 2435/2000, the European Community has undertaken to establish for each marketing year from 1 July 2000 import tariff quotas at a reduced or zero rate of duty for 2750 tonnes of common wheat (serial No 09.4663) and 1750 tonnes of millet (serial No 09.4664) originating in the Republic of Bulgaria, 34250 tonnes of barley for the production of malt (serial No 09.4617), 16875 tonnes of wheat flour (serial No 09.4618) and 45250 tonnes of malt, not roasted, other than of wheat (serial No 09.4619) originating in the Czech Republic, 17000 tonnes of barley for the production of malt (serial No 09.4617), 16875 tonnes of wheat flour (serial No 09.4618) and 18125 tonnes of malt, not roasted, other than of wheat (serial No 09.4619) originating in the Slovak Republic, and 25000 tonnes of common wheat (serial No 09.4759) originating in Romania respectively.
(2) Regulations (EC) No 2290/2000, (EC) No 2433/2000, (EC) No 2434/2000 and (EC) No 2435/2000 lay down that some of these quotas are to be administered in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of 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(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1602/2000(6). In the interest of simplification and taking into account the small volume of quotas for products originating in the Republic of Bulgaria, the above provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should also be applied to these quotas.
(3) To ensure that imports of the cereals sector products covered by the Czech, Slovak and Romanian tariff quotas are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. The licences will be issued, within the quantities set, at the request of the interested parties after a period of reflection and subject, where appropriate, to the fixing of a reduction coefficient in respect of the quantities applied for.
(4) To ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for lodging licence applications should be laid down and, notwithstanding Articles 8 and 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(7), the information to be included in the applications and licences should be specified.
(5) To take account of delivery conditions, the import licences should be valid from the day of their issue until the end of the month following that in which they are issued.
(6) To ensure efficient management of the quota, the import licences should not be transferable and the import licence security should be fixed at a relatively high level, notwithstanding Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2110/2000(9).
(7) For the same reasons rapid two-way communication must be established between the Commission and the Member States regarding the quantities applied for and imported.
(8) The import duties on products falling within CN codes 1107 10 19 and 1001 90 99 (serial No 09.4619 for the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic and serial No 09.4759 for Romania) listed in points II, III and VI of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1218/96(10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2511/2000(11), as worded before the entry into force of this Regulation and imported under licences applied for on or after 1 July 2000 are reimbursed in accordance with Articles 878 to 898 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1218/96 lays down detailed rules applying to the import of certain cereals originating in the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and Romania under quotas opened by Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95(12), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2435/98(13). As these provisions are no longer necessary, Regulation (EC) No 1218/96 should be amended to delete them.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Imports of common wheat falling within CN code 1001 90 99 (serial No 09.4663) and of millet falling within CN code 1008 20 00 (serial No 09.4664) originating in the Republic of Bulgaria shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
Imports of the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation originating in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic and the Republic of Romania and qualifying for partial or total exemption from import duty for the quantity and at the rate of reduction or duty level specified therein shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence issued in accordance with this Regulation.
The products referred to in Articles 1 and 2 shall be released into free circulation upon presentation of an EUR.1 movement certificate issued by the exporting country in accordance with Protocol 4 of the Europe Agreement concluded with that country, or alternatively a declaration on the invoice provided by the exporter in accordance with that Protocol.
1. Applications for import licences for the products referred to in Article 2 shall be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States no later than 1 p.m. Brussels time on the second Monday of each month. Each licence application must be for a quantity not exceeding the quantity available for the import of the relevant product in the marketing year concerned.
2. No later than 6 p.m. Brussels time on the same day, the competent authorities shall fax the Commission (fax No (32-2) 295 25 15), in accordance with the model in Annex II hereto, the total quantity resulting from the sum of the quantities indicated on the import licence applications.
This information shall be notified separately from that relating to other applications for cereal import licences and must quote the number and title of this Regulation, in accordance with the model shown in Annex II.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The active substances clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fipronil and imidacloprid were included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by Commission Directives 2006/41/EC (2), 2007/6/EC (3), 2007/52/EC (4) and 2008/116/EC (5) respectively.
(2) Accidental releases of those active substances recently reported by several Member States have resulted in substantial losses of honey bee colonies. As a consequence, the Member States concerned have taken precautionary measures to temporarily suspend the placing on the market of plant protection products containing those substances.
(3) Clothianidin, thiamethoxam, and imidacloprid may only be authorised for uses as insecticide, including the use as seed treatment. Fipronil, however, may only be authorised for uses as insecticide for use as seed treatment. The accidents reported by Member States concern the inappropriate use of those active substances to treat seeds.
(4) To avoid future accidents, additional provisions, including appropriate risk mitigation measures, should be laid down for clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fipronil and imidacloprid.
(5) Directive 91/414/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measure provided for in this Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 October 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 November 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fipronil and imidacloprid as active substances by 31 October 2010.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), extended for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 provides that preferential tariff treatment shall be accorded for 1993 for each category of products subjected in Annexes I and II thereto to individual ceilings, within the limits of the quantities specified in column 8 of Annex I and column 7 of Annex II, in respect of certain or each of the countries or territories of origin referred to in column 5 of the same Annexes;
Whereas Article 11 of the abovementioned Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties may be re-established at any time in respect of imports of the products in question once the relevant individual ceilings have been reached at Community level;
Whereas, in respect of products of category 74 (order No 40.0740), originating in Pakistan, the relevant ceiling amounts to 67 000 pieces;
Whereas on 29 March 1993 imports of the products in question into the Community, originating in Pakistan, countries covered by preferential tariff arrangements, reached and were charged against that ceiling;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties for the products in question with regard to Pakistan,

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 30 November 1970 concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in the wholesale coal trade and activities of intermediaries in the coal trade (ISIC ex Group 6112) (70/522/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 54 (2) and (3) and Article 63 (2) and (3) thereof;
Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment (1), and in particular Title IV D thereof;
Having regard to the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom to provide services (2), and in particular Title V C thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (3);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4);
Whereas the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community contains no provisions regarding freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services ; whereas, therefore, liberalisation of the activities covered by this Directive comes entirely under the provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Whereas activities in wholesale trade and the activities of intermediaries in commerce, industry and small craft industries are already governed by two Council Directives of 25 February 1964 (5) ; whereas the coal trade is excluded from the scope of these Directives ; whereas the purpose of this Directive is to liberalise trade activities in that sector;
Whereas, moreover, the present Directive affects the selling activities of producers, since Article 2 (3) of the Council Directive of 7 July 1964 (6) concerning the attainment of freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services in respect of activities of self-employed persons in mining and quarrying (ISIC Major Groups 11-19) restricts the rights of a producer who establishes himself as such in another Member State and sells his own products in that State to selling in a single establishment in the country of production, until such time as trade in the products in question has been liberalised by other Directives;
Whereas the present Directive liberalises the wholesale coal trade ; whereas retail trade has already been liberalised by the Council Directive of 15 October 1968 (7) ; whereas therefore the restriction to selling in a single establishment in the country of production no longer applies to such products;
whereas the producer who, on the basis of the Council Directive of 7 July 1964 referred to above, establishes himself as such in another Member State is, in pursuance of that Directive, henceforth authorised to sell his own products in one or more undertakings in that Member State;
Whereas the present Directive must also enable a producer to establish himself in another Member State not as a producer but in order to sell his own products in that State, on a wholesale basis, in one or more undertakings; (1)OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 36/62. (2)OJ No 2, 15.1.1962, p. 32/62. (3)OJ No C 51, 29.4.1970, p. 4. (4)OJ No C 108, 26.8.1970, p. 20. (5)OJ No 56, 4.4.1964, p. 863/64 and 869/64. (6)OJ No 117, 23.7.1964, p. 1871/64. (7)OJ No L 260, 22.10.1968, p. 1.
Whereas the restrictions on freedom to provide services in respect of intermediaries in the employment of one or more industrial or commercial undertakings should be abolished under this Directive ; whereas it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between activities of employed intermediaries and those of self-employed agents because the legal distinction between the two is not the same in all six countries ; whereas the activities of employed intermediaries fall within the same economic category as those of self-employed agents and it would be neither convenient nor useful to split up the liberalisation of this very special form of provision of services into a series of measures of partial liberalisation, effected as and when the activities of the employers are liberalised;
Whereas the General Programme for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment provides that restrictions on the right to join professional or trade organisations must be abolished where the professional activities of the person concerned necessarily involve the exercise of that right;
Whereas the position of paid employees accompanying the person providing services or acting on his behalf will be governed by the provisions laid down in pursuance of Articles 48 and 49 of the Treaty;
Whereas separate Directives, applicable to all activities of self-employed persons, concerning provisions relating to the movement and residence of beneficiaries, and where necessary Directives on the co-ordination of the safeguards required by Member States of companies or firms for the protection of the interests of members and of others, have been or will be adopted;
Whereas, moreover, in some Member States the wholesale coal trade is governed by rules relating to the taking up of that trade ; whereas, therefore, certain transitional measures, the purpose of which is to make it easier for nationals of other Member States to take up and pursue activities in wholesale trade, are the subject of a separate Directive;
Member States shall abolish, in respect of the natural persons and companies or firms covered by Title I of the General Programmes for the abolition of restrictions on freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services (hereinafter called "beneficiaries"), the restrictions referred to in Title III of those General Programmes affecting the right to take up and pursue the activities specified in Articles 2 and 3 of this Directive.
1. The provisions of this Directive shall apply to activities of self-employed persons in the wholesale coal trade (ISIC ex Group 6112) (1);
2. For the purposes of this Directive, "activities in the wholesale coal trade" means activities pursued by any natural person or company or firm who habitually and by way of trade buys coal in his own name and on his own account and resells such coal to other wholesale or retail traders, or to processors, or to professional, trade or large-scale users.
The coal may be resold either in the unaltered state or after such processing, treatment or preparation for sale as is customary in wholesale trade.
Activities in wholesale coal trade may be carried on by way of domestic, export, import or transit trade.
3. The provisions of this Directive shall apply also to wholesale selling by coal-producing undertakings.
The provisions of this Directive shall also apply to the following activities in the coal trade: 1. the following activities of self-employed persons: (a) professional activities of an intermediary who is empowered and instructed by one or more persons to negotiate or enter into commercial transactions in the name of and on behalf of those persons;
(b) professional activities of an intermediary who, while not being permanently so instructed, brings together persons wishing to contract directly with one another, or arranges their commercial transactions or assists in the completion thereof;
(c) professional activities of an intermediary who enters into commercial transactions in his own name on behalf of others;
2. provisions of services, by way of professional activities, by an intermediary in the employment of one or more commercial, industrial or small craft undertakings. Both such intermediary and the (1)International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (Statistical Office of the United Nations, Statistical Papers, Series M No 4, Rev. 1, New York 1958).
undertakings employing him must reside or be established in a Member State other than that in which the services are carried out.
The activities referred to in paragraph 1 shall include those of intermediaries who go from door to door seeking orders.
1. Member States shall in particular abolish the following restrictions: (a) those which prevent beneficiaries from establishing themselves or providing services in the host country under the same conditions and with the same rights as nationals of that country;
(b) those existing by reason of administrative practices which result in treatment being applied to beneficiaries that is discriminatory by comparison with that applied to nationals.
2. The restrictions to be abolished shall include in particular those arising out of measures which prevent or limit establishment or provision of services by beneficiaries by the following means: (a) in Belgium - the obligation to hold a carte professionnelle (Article 1 of the Law of 19 February 1965);
(b) in France - the obligation to hold a carte d'identité d'étranger commerçant (Décret-loi of 12 November 1938, Décret of 2 February 1939 as amended by Décret of 27 October 1969, Law of 8 October 1940, Law of 10 April 1954, Décret No 59-852 of 9 July 1959);
- exclusion from the right to renew commercial leases (Article 38 of Décret of 30 September 1953);
(c) in Luxembourg - the limited period of validity of authorisations granted to foreign nationals (Article 21 of the Law of 2 June 1962).
1. Member States shall ensure that beneficiaries have the right to join professional or trade organisations under the same conditions and with the same rights and obligations as their own nationals.
2. In the case of establishment, the right to join professional or trade organisations shall entail eligibility for election or appointment to high office in such organisations. However, such posts may be reserved for nationals where, in pursuance of any provision laid down by law or regulation, the organisation concerned is connected with the exercise of official authority.
3. In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, membership of the Chambre de commerce or of the Chambre des métiers shall not give beneficiaries the right to take part in the election of the administrative organs of those Chambers.
No Member State shall grant to any of its nationals who go to another Member State for the purpose of pursuing any activity referred to in Article 2 or in Article 3 any aid liable to distort the conditions of establishment.
1. Where a host Member State requires of its nationals wishing to take up any activity referred to in Article 2 or in Article 3 proof of good repute and proof that they have not previously been declared bankrupt, or proof of either one of these, that State shall accept as sufficient evidence, in respect of nationals of other Member States, the production of an extract from the "judicial record" or, failing this, of an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the country of origin or the country whence the foreign national comes, showing that these requirements have been met.
Nevertheless, in the case of intermediaries who go from door to door seeking orders, facts other than those which may be given in the document referred to in the preceding subparagraph may also be taken into consideration where such facts have been officially certified and clearly show that the person concerned does not satisfy all the conditions as to good repute which persons wishing to pursue that activity are required to satisfy. However, this check shall not be carried out as a matter of regular routine.
2. Where the country of origin or the country whence the foreign national comes does not issue such documentary proof of no previous bankruptcy, such proof may be replaced by a declaration on oath made by the person concerned before a judicial or administrative authority, a notary, or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country whence that person comes.
3. Documents issued in accordance with paragraph 1 or with paragraph 2 may not be produced more than three months after their date of issue.
4. Member States shall, within the time limit laid down in Article 9, designate the authorities and bodies competent to issue these documents and shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof.
Those Member States where the taking up of the activities in question is conditional upon the taking of an oath shall ensure that the current form of the oath is such that it can also be sworn by foreign nationals. Where this is not the case, Member States shall provide for a suitable and equivalent form.
Member States shall adopt the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within six months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC and Article 9 (3) of Directive 72/160/EEC, the Commission has to decide whether, having regard to the compatibility of the legal and administrative provisions forwarded with the said Directives and with Titles III and IV of Directive 75/268/EEC and having regard to the objectives of those Directives and to the need for a proper connection between the various measures, the provisions existing in France, which were the subject of the Commission Decision of 2 March 1977 (1), continue to satisfy the conditions for a financial contribution by the Community taking into account the abovementioned laws and administrative provisions;
Whereas the provisions listed under (a) (1) above provide for aid and for conditions for the granting of certain aid which fundamentally fail to satisfy the conditions of Directives 72/159/EEC and 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the provisions listed under (a) (3) above which repeal or amend the abovementioned provisions satisfy the conditions and are compatible with the objectives of the abovementioned Directives;

imposing special conditions governing the import of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine due to contamination risks by mineral oil
(notified under document number C(2008) 2709)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/433/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(2), second subparagraph, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) has been notified on 23 April 2008 that sunflower oil originating from Ukraine was found contaminated with high levels of mineral oil. This contamination by mineral oil was later confirmed in several consignments of crude sunflower oil originating from Ukraine imported in recent months in the Community. Sunflower oil containing high levels of mineral oil is unfit for human consumption and therefore deemed to be unsafe. The source of contamination is not yet known.
(2) The European Commission has repeatedly urged the Ukrainian authorities to provide information on the origin of the contamination and on the measures taken to prevent it in future. Assurances were also sought from the Ukrainian authorities as to the establishment of effective measures aimed at guaranteeing the appropriate sampling and analysis on the presence of mineral oil in consignments of sunflower oil leaving Ukraine with destination the European Community.
(3) Investigations aimed at identifying the source of contamination are ongoing in Ukraine. The Ukrainian authorities also committed to the establishment of an appropriate control system that will ensure that all consignments of sunflower oil to be exported to the European Union are certified as not containing levels of mineral oil making the sunflower oil unfit for human consumption. However, the details of this control system have still to be provided to the Commission. The Commission should assess the control and certification system in order to verify the accuracy and the reliability to guarantee that the sunflower oil exported to the Community does not contain levels of mineral oil, making the sunflower oil unfit for human consumption. It has to be ensured that no exports of sunflower oil to the Community will take place until such control and certification system is put in place and assessed and accepted by the Commission. The assessment of the control and certification system will be performed on the basis of detailed information provided by the Ukrainian authorities.
(4) After a request from the European Commission for an assessment of the risks related to the contamination of sunflower oil with mineral oil, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a statement on the contamination of sunflower oil with mineral oil exported from Ukraine. The statement refers to assessments performed by the joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) indicating the different level of toxicity depending of the type of mineral oil. EFSA concluded that the available analytical data for the contaminated sunflower oil from Ukraine indicated that the mineral oil present was of high viscosity. Based upon exposure estimates, EFSA concluded that the exposure of sunflower oil contaminated with high viscosity mineral oil, although being undesirable for human consumption, would not be of public health concern in this case. Given that the source of contamination has not yet been identified with certainty, there is the presumption of risk attached to the presence of unacceptable high levels of mineral oil in sunflower oil.
(5) Given the level of risk, even once the control and certification system will be accepted by the Commission, Member States should control the consignments of sunflower oil in order to verify that such consignments contain a level of mineral oil conform to what it is declared in the certificate. This system of double control is necessary and justified in order to provide additional guarantees for the accuracy and reliability of the control and certification system put in place by the Ukrainian authorities. The costs incurred for carrying out these controls are to be borne by the operators responsible for the import. Member States should inform the Commission of unfavourable results through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed. Favourable results shall be reported to the Commission on a three-monthly basis. This obligation of information is necessary for the measures to be reassessed.
(6) Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Community emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect human health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.
(7) Pending the assessment and acceptance of the control and certification system to be put in place by the Ukrainian authorities, no imports of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine should take place due to the risk of contamination with mineral oil.
(8) Member States have been informed of the contamination incident and have taken the appropriate measures to withdraw the contaminated sunflower oil and food products containing contaminated sunflower oil already placed on the market, as recommended by the European Commission via the RASFF.
(9) Given the urgency, pending the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, and after having informed the authorities of Ukraine, the Commission adopted Decision 2008/388/EC on 23 May 2008 imposing special conditions governing the import of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine due to contamination risks by mineral oil (2), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 53(2), first subparagraph of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
(10) Those measures should be confirmed and amended as regards the costs of the controls, performed by the competent authorities of the Member States.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to repeal and replace Decision 2008/388/EC.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Member States shall prohibit the import of sunflower oil, falling within CN codes 1512 11 91 or 1512199010, originating in or consigned from Ukraine (hereafter referred to as sunflower oil), unless the consignment of sunflower oil is accompanied by a valid certificate, certifying the absence of unacceptable levels of mineral oil and the results of sampling and analysis for the presence of mineral oil.
2. The certificate provided for in paragraph 1 shall only be valid for imports of consignments of sunflower oil into the Community if the sampling and analysis of the consignment and the issuance of the certificate have taken place after the European Commission has assessed and formally accepted the control and certification system put in place by the Ukrainian authorities.
3. Member States will be informed of the details of the control and certification system put in place by the Ukrainian authorities and of the formal acceptance of it by the Commission through the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
4. Member States shall take the appropriate measures to sample and analyse each consignment of sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine, accompanied by a valid certificate, presented for import to ensure that the consignments contain a level of mineral oil conform to what it is declared in the certificate.
They shall inform the Commission of unfavourable results through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed. Favourable results shall be reported to the Commission on a three-monthly basis.
5. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the sunflower oil originating in or consigned from Ukraine, not complying with the provisions of this Decision, is not placed on the market for feed or food use.
6. Member States shall ensure that the costs incurred in the implementation of points 4 and 5 are borne by the operators responsible for the import.
Decision 2008/388/EC is repealed.

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.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of propionic acid, sodium propionate and ammonium propionate. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of propionic acid, sodium propionate and ammonium propionate as feed additives for all animal species to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’, functional group ‘silage additives’. The application includes also other uses of the same substances for which no decision has yet been taken.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 16 November 2011 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, propionic acid, sodium propionate and ammonium propionate do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. It was also concluded that the substances improve the aerobic stability of easy to ensile materials. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the substances concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The substances specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, are authorised as additives in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market 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.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 July 2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) 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 Articles 144(1) and 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 297/2003 of 17 February 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of the tariff quota for beef and veal originating in Chile (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) The Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (4), provides in Article 71(5) that, as from 1 February 2003, a tariff quota of 1 000 tonnes of beef and veal shall be opened and shall be increased annually by 100 tonnes.
(3) The quotas concerned should be managed through the use of import licences. To this end, 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 (5), Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 382/2008 of 21 April 2008 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (7) are applicable subject to certain derogations.
(4) Chile has undertaken to issue certificates of authenticity for the products in question attesting that the goods originate in Chile. The specimen and the rules for the use of the certificate of authenticity need to be laid down.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 810/2008 of 11 August 2008 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas for high-quality fresh, chilled and frozen beef and for frozen buffalo meat (8) provides for certificates of authenticity for periods of 12 months starting on 1 July of one year for a number of beef quotas and veal quotas. To ensure that all imports are managed in a uniform manner, similar implementing rules should be laid down for the quotas for beef and veal originating in Chile.
(6) In order to ensure proper management of imports of the products concerned, import licences should be issued subject to verification, in particular of the entries on the certificates of authenticity.
(7) The reimbursement in full of import duty as a result of the exemption from the duty that is applicable from 1 February 2003 is applied in accordance with Article 236 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (9), and with Articles 878 and following of 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 (10).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

3. Certificates of authenticity shall bear an individual serial number allocated by the issuing authorities referred to in Article 8. The copies shall bear the same serial number as the original.
4. The original and copies of the certificate of authenticity may be typed or hand-written. In the latter case, they must be filled out in black ink and in block capitals.
5. Certificates of authenticity shall be valid only if they are duly filled out and endorsed by the issuing authority referred to in Article 8.
Certificates of authenticity shall be deemed to have been duly endorsed if they state the date and place of issue and if they bear the stamp of the issuing authority and the signature of the person or persons authorised to sign them.
The stamp may be replaced by a printed seal on the original of the certificate of authenticity and any copies thereof.
1. The body authorised by Chile to issue certificates of authenticity (hereinafter referred to as ‘the issuing authority’), which is set out in Annex IV, must:
(a) undertake to verify the entries on the certificates of authenticity;
(b) undertake to supply the Commission, at least once a week, with any information it may need to verify the entries on the certificates of authenticity.
2. Annex IV may be revised by the Commission if the issuing authority is no longer recognised, if it fails to perform one of its undertakings or if a new issuing authority is appointed.
The Commission shall pass on to the competent authorities in the Member States the specimen of the stamp imprints used by the issuing authority and the names and signatures of the persons authorised to sign the certificates of authenticity that are communicated to it by the authority in Chile.

of 4 December 2006
laying down rules for the management and distribution of textile quotas established for the year 2007 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), and in particular Article 17(3) and (6) and Article 21(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries to be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
(2) Under that Regulation it is possible, in certain circumstances, to use other allocation methods, to divide quotas into tranches, or to reserve a proportion of a specific quantitative limit exclusively for applications which are supported by evidence of the results of past import performance.
(3) Rules for management of the quotas established for 2007 should be adopted before the quota year begins so that the continuity of trade flows is not affected unduly.
(4) The measures adopted in previous years, such as those in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2038/2005 of 14 December 2005 laying down rules for the management and distribution of textile quotas established for the year 2006 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 (2), proved to be satisfactory and it is therefore appropriate to adopt similar rules for 2007.
(5) In order to satisfy the greatest possible number of operators it is appropriate to make the ‘first come, first served’ allocation method more flexible by placing a ceiling on the quantities which can be allocated to each operator by that method.
(6) To guarantee a degree of continuity in trade and efficient quota administration, operators should be allowed to make their initial import authorisation application for 2007 equivalent to the quantity which they imported in 2006.
(7) To achieve optimum use of the quantities, an operator who has used up at least one half of the amount already authorised should be permitted to apply for a further amount, provided that quantities are available in the quotas.
(8) For the sake of sound administration, import authorisations should be valid for nine months from the date of issue but only until the end of the year at the latest. Member States should issue licences only after being notified by the Commission that quantities are available and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and can certify, in the absence of a specific provision to the contrary, that he has not already been allocated a Community import authorisation under this Regulation for the categories and countries concerned. The competent national authorities should, however, be authorised, in response to importers' applications, to extend by three months and up to 31 March 2008 licences of which at least one half has been used by the application date.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
The purpose of this Regulation is to lay down rules on the management of quantitative quotas for imports of certain textile products set out in Annexes III B and IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 for the year 2007.
The quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated according to the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of Member States' notifications of applications from individual operators, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities per operator set out in Annex I.
The maximum quantities shall not, however, apply to operators able to prove to the competent national authorities, when making their first application for 2007, that, in respect of given categories and given third countries, they imported more than the maximum quantities specified for each category pursuant to import licences granted to them for 2006.
In the case of such operators, the competent authorities may authorise imports not exceeding the quantities imported in 2006 from given third countries and in given categories, provided that enough quota capacity is available.
Any importer who has already used up 50 % or more of the amount allocated to him under this Regulation may make a further application, in respect of the same category and country of origin, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities laid down in Annex I.
1. The competent national authorities listed in Annex II may, from 10 a.m. on 4 January 2007, notify the Commission of the amounts covered by requests for import authorisations.
The time fixed in the first subparagraph shall be understood as Brussels time.
2. The competent national authorities shall issue authorisations only after being notified by the Commission pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 that quantities are available for importation.
They shall issue authorisations only if an operator:
(a) proves the existence of a contract relating to the provision of the goods and,
(b) certifies in writing that, in respect of the categories and countries concerned:
(i) he has not already been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation; or
(ii) he has been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation but has used up at least 50 % of it.
3. Import authorisations shall be valid for nine months from the date of issue, but until 31 December 2007 at the latest.
The competent national authorities may, however, at the importer's request, grant a three-month extension for authorisations which are at least 50 % used up at the time of the request. Such extension shall in no circumstances expire later than 31 March 2008.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant-protection on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/414/EEC provides for the development of a Community list of active substances authorised for incorporation in plant protection products.
(2) A dossier for the active substance Pseudomonas sp. strain DSMZ 13134 was submitted by Sourcon-Padena GmbH&Co. KG to the authorities of the Netherlands on 28 August 2007 with an application to obtain its inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) The authorities of the Netherlands have indicated to the Commission that, on preliminary examination, the dossier for the active substance concerned appears to satisfy the data and information requirements set out in Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC. The dossier submitted appears also to satisfy the data and information requirements set out in Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC in respect of one plant protection product containing the active substance concerned. In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the dossier was subsequently forwarded by the applicant to the Commission and other Member States, and was referred to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(4) By this Decision it should be formally confirmed at Community level that the dossier is considered as satisfying in principle the data and information requirements set out in Annex II and, for at least one plant protection product containing the active substance concerned, the requirements set out in Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) This Decision should not prejudice the right of the Commission to request the applicant to submit further data or information in order to clarify certain points in the dossier.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Without prejudice to Article 6(4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the dossier concerning the active substance identified in the Annex to this Decision, which was submitted to the Commission and the Member States with a view to obtaining the inclusion of that substance in Annex I to that Directive, satisfy in principle the data and information requirements set out in Annex II to that Directive.
The dossier also satisfies the data and information requirements set out in Annex III to that Directive in respect of one plant protection product containing the active substance, taking into account the uses proposed.
The rapporteur Member State shall pursue the detailed examination for the dossier referred to in Article 1 and shall communicate to the Commission the conclusions of its examination accompanied by a recommendation on the inclusion or non-inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substance referred to in Article 1 and any conditions for that inclusion as soon as possible and at the latest within a period of one year from the date of publication of this Decision in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of mackerel in Faroese waters by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark have reached the quota allocated for 1995; whereas Denmark has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 23 March 1995; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of mackerel in Faroese waters by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Denmark for 1995.
Fishing for mackerel in Faroese waters by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

concerning the application submitted by Vita-tex Ltd, Slough, United Kingdom, for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of polyester yarn originating in the United States of America

(87/232/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 3439/80 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2585 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyester yarn originating in the United States of America.
(2) On 23 November 1984 Vita-tex Ltd, Slough, United Kingdom, an importer of polyester yarn from the United States, submitted an application to the United Kingdom authorities for a refund of an amount totalling £ . . . (4) sterling which it had definitively paid in anti-dumping duties on its imports of polyester yarn from the USA. The United Kingdom authorities forwarded the application to the Commission.
(3) The Commission examined the application and informed the applicant of the preliminary result of this examination and gave it an opportunity to comment. The comments made were taken into consideration prior to this Decision.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. The Commission altered its opinion following new representations made and information supplied by the applicant and the United Kingdom authorities. The Member States were informed of the Commission's revised opinion. None of the Member States disagreed with the revised opinion of the Commission.
B. Argument of the applicant
(5) The applicant has based its application on a comparison between the export prices concerned and the prices of goods sold in the United States of America.
C. Admissibility
(6) Initially the Commission informed the applicant and the Member States that it considered the application inadmissible as it appeared to have been submitted outside the time limit specified in Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. Following further representations made by the applicant and the United Kingdom authorities the
Commission now accepts that the application was submitted in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular those concerning time limits.
D. Merits of the claim
(7) The applicant included in its application detailed information on the normal values in the United States at the time the imports concerned in the application took place. The Commission is satisfied with the representativeness and completeness of the information presented and therefore the normal values submitted by the applicant have been accepted.
(8) A comparison of the normal values mentioned in paragraph 7 above with the export prices concerned shows that the application is justified.
E. Amount of refund
(9) The amount to be refunded should be equal to the amount by which the duty collected exceeded the difference between the normal values and the export prices. The total difference for the shipments in question amounts to £ . . ..
The refund application for a total of £ . . . submitted by Vita-Tex Ltd, Slough, United Kingdom, is hereby granted.
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the authorities of the United Kingdom.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom and to Vita-Tex Ltd, Slough, United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

approving the active substance azimsulfuron, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 of 27 June 2007 on laying down the procedure for the renewal of the inclusion of a first group of active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and establishing the list of those substances (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. Azimsulfuron is listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 737/2007.
(2) The approval of azimsulfuron, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (4), expires on 31 December 2011. A notification was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007 for the renewal of the inclusion of azimsulfuron in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within the time period provided for in that Article.
(3) That notification was found to be admissible by Commission Decision 2008/656/EC of 28 July 2008 on the admissibility of the notifications concerning the renewal of the inclusion in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances azimsulfuron, azoxystrobin, fluroxypyr, imazalil, kresoxim-methyl, prohexadione and spiroxamine, and establishing the list of the notifiers concerned (5).
(4) Within the time period provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 737/2007, the notifier submitted the data required in accordance with that Article together with an explanation as regards the relevance of each new study submitted.
(5) The rapporteur Member State prepared an assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 1 June 2009. In addition to the assessment of the active substance, that report includes a list of the studies the rapporteur Member State relied on for its assessment.
(6) The Authority communicated the assessment report to the notifier and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the assessment report available to the public.
(7) At the request of the Commission, the assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the Authority. The Authority presented its conclusion on the peer review of the risk assessment of azimsulfuron (6) to the Commission on 12 March 2010. The assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for azimsulfuron.
(8) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing azimsulfuron may be expected to continue to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve azimsulfuron.
(9) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions not provided for in the first inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) Based on the review report, which points out that the manufacturing impurity phenol is of toxicological concern, a maximum level of 2 g/kg should, however, be set for that impurity in the technical material.
(11) From the new data submitted, it appears that azimsulfuron and its degradation products in aqueous photolysis may cause risks for aquatic organisms. Without prejudice to the conclusion that azimsulfuron should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(12) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(13) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing azimsulfuron. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(14) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(15) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.
(16) In the interest of clarity, Commission Directive 2010/54/EU of 20 August 2010 amending Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC to renew the inclusion of azimsulfuron as active substance (8) should be repealed.
(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance azimsulfuron, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing azimsulfuron as an active substance by 30 June 2012.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Article 13(1) to (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing azimsulfuron as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product still satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing azimsulfuron as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing azimsulfuron as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Repeal
Directive 2010/54/EU is repealed.
