THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 28 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Midi-Pyrénées; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Single Programming Document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Midi-Pyrénées concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in France;
the main priorities are:
1. strengthening of the business fabric;
2. strengthening of technological innovation;
3. rehabilitation of the area;
4. economic diversification;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:

- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the Single Programming Document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 42,6 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 66 million for the public sector and ECU 42 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 34,6 million,
- ESF:ECU 8,0 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 10,998 million,
- ESF:ECU 2,543 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the Single Programming Document and on progress in its implementation.
3. The financial contribution will be suspended after the payment of the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 until such time as the Commission has verified the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52, 59, 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

31979R0357 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vines
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979 on statistical surveys of areas under vines
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Commission, in order to fulfil its obligations under the Treaty and the Community provisions on the common organization of the market in wine, requires accurate up to date data on the production potential of the areas under vines in the Community and on medium-term trends in production and supply;
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation No 24 on the progressive establishment of a common organization of the market in wine (3) provided that Member States should, not later than 31 December 1964, prepare a viticultural land register which should thereafter be kept up to date;
Whereas Commission Regulation No 26/64/EEC of 28 February 1964 laying down additional provisions for the preparation of the viticultural land register, for its management and for keeping it up to date (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1456/76 (5), provides that the complete revision of the Community viticultural land register referred to in Article 3 (1) should take place every 10 years, beginning in 1979;
Whereas a land register in the strict sense involves major administrative work on the establishment, processing and constant updating of a list or register containing information on the owners and on all parcels of land under vines with sufficient details for their identification ; whereas viticultural land registers in this sense have been established only by some Member States, which have moreover been able to update them only partially and at irregular intervals ; whereas the surveys on the areas under vines carried out by certain Member States have different reference years ; whereas these national land registers and surveys do not therefore permit precise uniform synchronized observation of production potential and supply on the Community vine markets;
Whereas, in order to assess the Community wine market situation and developments therein, every 10 years basic statistical surveys covering the total areas under vines should be conducted in vine-growing holdings and, in between the basic surveys, smaller statistical surveys should be conducted only on the area under vines of wine grape varieties;
Whereas, for economic and technical reasons and in view of their limited significance on the Community wine market, vines cultivated in the open air in Member States with a total area under vines of less than 500 hectares, vines cultivated under glass and vines produced on very small areas solely for home consumption by the growers should all be excluded from the surveys;
Whereas detailed information is necessary on the use of the area under vines for the production of wine grapes, table grapes and material for vegetative propagation of vines, as well as on the varieties and the age of the vines ; whereas the overproduction of table wine in particular can create serious difficulties in the wine economies of certain producer countries ; whereas it is therefore necessary to record separately the area under vines intended for the production of quality wines psr and of table wines;
Whereas, in order to keep the development of wine production potential under constant observation, there should be annual intermediate surveys of any changes by way of grubbing, new planting or replanting in the area under vines of wine grape varieties;
Whereas the results of both the basic and the intermediate surveys should be forwarded to the Commission as quickly as possible; (1)OJ No C 276, 20.11.1978, p. 1. (2)OJ No C 296, 11.12.1978, p. 58. (3)OJ No 30, 20.4.1962, p. 989/62. (4)OJ No 48, 19.3.1964, p. 753/64. (5)OJ No L 163, 24.6.1976, p. 13.
Whereas consideration should also be given to statistics resulting from the application of other Community provisions laying down measures for reorganizing Community wine production;
Whereas, since sample survey methods can produce accurate results at moderate cost over large areas under vines, Member States should be allowed to conduct the surveys either exhaustively or by sample, provided that standards of statistical reliability are laid down;
Whereas, in order to be able to assess the production of wine in the Community, information is required each year on yields per hectare and on the mean natural alcoholic strength of fresh grapes, of grape must and of wine ; whereas, in view of the existence of areas with widely differing yields, the area under vines of wine grape varieties should be subdivided into yield classes;
Whereas the Commission must submit reports in order to enable the Council to examine the extent to which the surveys carried out and the information communicated can help achieve the objectives of this Regulation ; whereas, where appropriate, it must propose the harmonization of the methods used;
Whereas Member States and the Commission must cooperate as fully as possible when applying this Regulation ; whereas the implementing rules must be laid down after consultation with the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics, set up by Decision 72/279/EEC (1);
Whereas the procedure to be followed by the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics must be laid down;
Whereas statistical surveys allow production potential to be adjusted to market demand in good time ; whereas such adjustment can considerably reduce the ever-increasing costs of managing the wine market ; whereas the Community should therefore be made financially responsible with regard to the expenses incurred by the Member States concerned in connection with the first basic survey under this Regulation;
Whereas the establishment of the survey system under this Regulation requires the consequent amendment of certain Community provisions in the wine sector,
1. Member States on whose territory the total area of vines cultivated in the open air is not less than 500 hectares shall carry out: - every 10 years basic surveys on the area under vines ; the first basic survey shall be carried out in 1979, or before 1 April 1980 at the latest, and shall relate to the situation after grubbing and planting in the 1978/79 wine-growing year,
- annually from the second year after the basic surveys, intermediate surveys on the changes taking place in the areas under vines of wine grape varieties ; the first intermediate survey shall be carried out in 1981 and shall relate to changes during the two wine-growing years 1979/80 and 1980/81.
2. The wine-growing year shall be that fixed on the basis of Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.
1. The basic surveys shall cover all holdings having a cultivated area under vines normally intended for the production for sale of grapes, grape must, wine or vegetative propagation material for vines.
2. During the basic surveys, the following particulars shall be recorded for each holding referred to in paragraph 1: A. agricultural area in use;
B. area under vines cultivated.
The area under vines cultivated is to be broken down according to its normal production use into: (a) the area under wine grape varieties, further broken down into: - quality wines psr,
- other wines: - including wine compulsorily intended for the manufacture of certain potable spirits obtained from wine with a registered designation of origin;
(b) the area under table grape varieties;
(c) the area planted with root-stock for future grafting; (1)OJ No L 179, 7.8.1972, p. 1.
(d) the area cultivated solely for the production of vegetative propagation material for vines subdivided into: - nurseries,
- parent vines for root-stock.
Varieties which are classified simultaneously as wine grape varieties and table grape varieties shall be recorded according to their predominant use in the geographical units concerned.
3. During the basic surveys, the following particulars shall be recorded for the area under wine grape varieties: A. Vine varieties
In the Member States concerned, a separate record shall be made for each geographical unit referred to in Article 4 (3) of those vine varieties which together constitute at least 70 % of the total area under wine grape varieties, and, in any case, of those varieties which constitute 3 % or more of the said area. The remaining varieties may be grouped together according to the colour of the grapes.
B. Age of the vines
The age of the vines shall be calculated from the wine-growing year in which they were planted or grafted. The age groups shall be established for each Member State concerned in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8.
4. This Regulation shall not affect any provisions in the Member States providing for surveys of the areas under vines which include, together with the information referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, additional information obtained, for example, as a result of a wider field of enquiry than that referred to in paragraph 1 or from a more detailed specification of the particulars of the areas under vines and the holdings concerned. Such additional results must also be forwarded to the Commission.
1. The Member States concerned shall submit to the Commission before 30 September of the preceding year a detailed description of the methods to be used for the basic surveys and, where appropriate, of the sampling plan.
2. The Member States concerned shall take suitable measures to limit and, where necessary, to estimate errors of observation for the total area under vines cultivated for each type of production use referred to in Article 2 (2) (B).
3. The basic surveys may either be exhaustive, or based on random sampling. As regards the results of the basic surveys carried out by random sampling, the Member States shall take all the necessary measures to ensure that the sampling error at the 68 % confidence level shall be of the order of 1 % at most for the survey particulars referred to in Article 2 (2) (B) within the geographical units concerned. The samples shall include holdings of all sizes.
1. The Member States concerned shall notify the Commission of the results of the basic surveys as soon as possible but not later than 15 months after completion of the field work.
2. The results of the basic surveys shall be submitted by geographical unit in the form of a schedule of tables to be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8.
3. The geographical units referred to in paragraph 2, in Article 2 (2) (B) and (3) (A) and in Article 3 (3) shall be as follows: - in the Federal Republic of Germany : the wine-growing regions defined in accordance with Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 338/79 of 5 February 1979 laying down special provisions relating to quality wines produced in specified regions (1),
- in France : the departments or groups of departments listed in the Annex hereto,
- in Italy : the provinces,
- in the other Member States concerned : their entire national territory.
4. Member States which process their basic survey results electronically shall submit these results in a machine-readable form, to be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8.
1. The intermediate surveys shall cover the area under vines of wine grape varieties in the holdings referred to in Article 2 (1) and shall relate to changes which have taken place in that area during the preceding wine-growing year ; however, the first intermediate surveys following the basic surveys shall relate to the changes during the previous two wine-growing years.
2. During the intermediate surveys the areas under vines which: (1)See page 48 of this Official Journal. - have been grubbed or are no longer cultivated,
- have been planted or replanted,
shall be recorded for the areas normally used for the production of: - quality wines psr,
- other wines: - including wines compulsorily intended for the manufacture of certain potable spirits obtained from wine with a registered designation of origin,
by the vine variety and at least by the yield classes referred to in Article 6 (2). Any figures relating to the grubbing and planting of vines obtained as a result of the implementation of other Community provisions shall be taken into consideration.
3. The intermediate surveys may be either exhaustive or based on random sampling. As regards the results of the intermediate surveys carried out by random sampling, the Member States concerned shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the sampling error at the 68 % confidence level shall be of the order of 3 % at most for the whole of the cultivated area under vines normally intended for the production of wine grapes in the geographical units concerned.
4. The Member States concerned shall submit to the Commission before 30 June 1980 a detailed description of the methods to be used for the intermediate surveys ; advance notice shall be given of any change in such methods.
5. The Member States concerned shall submit the results of the intermediate surveys to the Commission before 1 May of the year following the wine-growing years concerned. They shall be broken down into the geographical units set out in Article 4 (3) in the form of a schedule of tables to be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8.
6. Member States which process their intermediate survey results electronically shall submit the results referred to in paragraph 5 in a machine-readable form, to be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8.

Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 5(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society Services (2),
Whereas:
(1) The standard EN 10080:2005 ‘Steel for the reinforcement of concrete — Weldable reinforcing steel — General’ was established by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 21 April 2005. The reference of that standard was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article 7(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC, first on 14 December 2005 (3) and again on 8 June 2006 (4).
(2) Italy and the Commission have raised formal objections in respect of standard EN 10080:2005.
(3) The Italian formal objection was lodged on the grounds that EN 10080:2005 does not satisfy the essential requirement of mechanical resistance and stability in Annex I to Directive 89/106/EEC as it does not differentiate clearly the intended use of the reinforcing steels, i.e. the reinforcing steel with specific performance required for use in seismic areas which is an important safety issue of works regulated in Italy.
(4) The Commission’s formal objection was lodged on the grounds that the Annex ZA to EN 10080:2005 foresees the indication of the performance characteristics according to technical classes, while the standard itself neither defines the technical classes nor the corresponding technical performance characteristics.
(5) In the light of the results of the examination of the objections raised against the reference of standard EN 10080:2005 ‘Steel for the reinforcement of concrete — Weldable reinforcing steel — General’, the reference of standard EN 10080:2005 should be withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union with the result that compliance with relevant national standards transposing the harmonised standard EN 10080:2005 no longer confers the presumption of fitness for use and of conformity to the relevant provisions of Directive 89/106/EEC,
The reference of standard EN 10080:2005 ‘Steel for the reinforcement of concrete — Weldable reinforcing steel — General’, is withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 lays down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption. It provides that animal by-products that may be used as feed material have to be processed in accordance with the requirements laid down in that Regulation.
(2) Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 sets out specific hygiene requirements for the processing and placing on the market of processed animal protein and other processed products that could be used as feed material. In particular, Chapter V of that Annex provides for specific requirements for the processing of milk, milk products and colostrum.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 the provisions applicable to the importation of products referred to in Annexes VII and VIII to that Regulation from non-member countries are not to be more favourable or less favourable than those applicable to the production and marketing of those products in the Community. Chapter V of Annex VII to that Regulation should therefore be amended, in order to introduce certain technical amendments, to harmonise the processing standards for milk and milk products and to clarify the import requirements applicable to them.
(4) Following the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, adopted on 29 March 2006, related to the animal health risks of feeding animals with ready-to-use dairy products without further treatment (2), it is appropriate to amend the specific hygiene requirements for milk, milk-based products and colostrums. Account should also be taken of the methods for the inactivation of possible foot-and-mouth disease virus in milk described in the 1999 Report of the Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare on a Strategy for Emergency Vaccination against Foot-and-Mouth Disease (3) and of Appendix 3.6.2 of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (4), 2005 edition, of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
(5) Taking account of the amended specific hygiene requirements in Chapter V of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, it is appropriate to replace the model health certificates in Chapters 2(A), 2(B) and 2(C) of Annex X to that Regulation by a single model certificate for the importation from third countries of milk and milk products not intended for human consumption.
(6) It is necessary to update the reference to the specific health certificate in Part I of Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 setting out lists of third countries from which Member States may authorise imports of animal by-products not intended for human consumption.
(7) Annexes VII, X and XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annexes VII, X and XI to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be applicable from 1 May 2008.
Consignments for which veterinary certificates were issued before 1 November 2008 in accordance with the models established by Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 before its amendment by the present Regulation, shall be accepted for import into the Community until 1 February 2009.

fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 July 2003.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 94/32/EC (2), and in particular Article 6 (1) (g) thereof,
Whereas there is a need to specify the criteria and conditions under which a manufacturer may, for reasons of trade secrecy, apply not to include one or more ingredients on the minimum list of ingredients which must be included on the packaging of cosmetic products, or, where this is impossible for practical reasons, on an enclosed leaflet, label, tape or card;
Whereas approval of confidentiality should not, however, impinge on the other obligations pursuant to Directive 76/768/EEC and the responsibilities arising from the Articles concerning the cosmetic product's safety, from the Annexes, and from the provisions as to the information necessary for appropriate medical treatment and the case-file to which the national monitoring authorities must have access;
Whereas approval of confidentiality should not be prejudicial to consumer safety;
Whereas the request for confidentiality must be submitted in the Member State of manufacture or initial importation into the Community market, which must also have access to the information referred to in Article 7a of Directive 76/768/EEC, as amended by Directive 93/35/EEC (3), for control purposes;
Whereas to be adequately assessed and monitored the request must include all the particulars necessary for identifying the applicants, for the identification and human health assessment of the ingredient as used in the cosmetic product(s) and for determining the intended use of the ingredient concerned, as well as the grounds for confidentiality and the name(s) of the product containing the ingredient;
Whereas for economic reasons and in deference to his rights the competent authority should inform the applicant, within a brief period of not more than four months, other than in exceptional cases, of the ruling in this case; whereas any refusal to grant confidentiality should be duly reasoned and the means of appeal and time limits clearly indicated;
Whereas in the interests of transparency and monitoring, the competent authority should allocate a registration number to each request it approves; whereas this number should replace the ingredient in the list of ingredients referred to in Article 6 (1) (g) of Directive 76/768/EEC;
Whereas all amendments to the particulars contained in the initial request must be communicated by the applicant to the competent authority, which may then withdraw its approval of confidentiality in view of those modifications, or if new information makes such a measure necessary for compelling public health reasons;
Whereas the duration of the right to confidentiality should not exceed five years, subject to the option, in exceptional circumstances, of an extension for a further three years at the most;
Whereas, in the interests of monitoring product safety and proper enforcement of the Directive, the Commission and the other Member States should be adequately informed of the decisions taken by the competent authority; whereas, on the other hand, such decisions should be recognized throughout the Community territory, except for exceptional reasons;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives on the Removal of Technical Barriers to Trade in the Cosmetics Products Sector,
This Directive shall apply without prejudice to the other obligations arising from Directive 76/768/EEC and the responsibilities arising therefrom, in particular from Articles 2, 4, 5, 7 (3) and 7a thereof.
Any manufacturer or his agent or person on whose account a cosmetic product is manufactured, or any person responsible for placing an imported cosmetic product on the Community market, who, for reasons of trade secrecy, wishes not to include one or more ingredients of a cosmetic product on the list referred to in Article 6 (1) (g) of Directive 76/768/EEC, shall submit a request to that effect to the competent authority referred to in Article 10 of this Directive of the Member State of the place of manufacture or initial importation, prior to placing the product on the Community market.
The request referred to in Article 2 must include the following particulars:
(a) name or style and address or head office of the applicant;
(b) precise identification of the ingredient for which confidentiality is requested, namely:
- the CAS, Einecs and colour index numbers, the chemical name, the Iupac name, the INCI (1) name, the European Pharmacopoeia name, the international non-proprietary name recommended by the World Health Organization, and the common nomenclature name referred to in Article 7 (2) of Directive 76/768/EEC, where they exist,
- the Elincs name and the official number allocated to it if it has been notified pursuant to Council Directive 67/548/EEC (2) and indication of approval or refusal to approve a request for confidentiality pursuant to Article 19 of that Directive,
- where the names or numbers referred to in the first and second indents do not exist, as in the case of certain ingredients of natural origin, the name of the base material, the name of the part of the plant or animal used, and the names of the ingredient's components, such as solvents;
(c) the evaluation of the safety for human health of the ingredient as used in the finished product(s), taking into account the ingredient's toxicological profile, chemical structure and the level of exposure, as specified in Article 7a (1) (d) and (e) and Article 7a (2) of Directive 76/768/EEC;
(d) the envisaged use of the ingredient and in particular the different categories of products in which it will be used;
(e) a detailed justification of why, by way of exception, confidentiality is sought; for example:
- the fact that the identity of the ingredient or its function in the cosmetic product to be marketed has not been described in the literature and is unknown to others in the trade,
- the fact that the information is not yet in the public domain, even though a patent application has been lodged for the ingredient or its use,
- the fact that if the information were known it would be easily reproducible, to the detriment of the applicant;
(f) if known, the name of each product which is to contain the ingredient(s), and if different names are to be used in the Community market, precise details on each one of them.
If the name of a product is not yet known, it may be communicated at a later date, but at least 15 days before placing the product on the market.
If the ingredient is used in several products, one request shall suffice, provided that the products are clearly indicated to the competent authority;
(g) a statement setting out whether a request has been submitted to the competent authority of any other Member State in respect of the ingredient for which confidentiality is sought, and particulars on the outcome of any such request.
1. After receipt of the request for confidentiality in accordance with Article 3 the competent authority shall, within a period not exceeding four months, examine the request and inform the applicant in writing of its decision. In the event of approval, the authority shall also communicate the registration number it has allocated to the product in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Annex. However, if there are exceptional reasons, the competent authority may inform the applicant in writing that an additional period of two months will be required for the examination of the request.
2. Any refusal to grant a request for confidentiality must include a statement of reasons; appeal procedures, together with their time limits, must be clearly explained to the applicant.
The registration number referred to in Article 4 (1) shall replace the ingredient in question in the list referred to in Article 6 (1) (g) of Directive 76/768/EEC.
1. All amendments to the information provided pursuant to Article 3 must be communicated as rapidly as possible to the competent authority that has granted the request for confidentiality. All changes to the names of cosmetic products containing the ingredient must be communicated to the competent authority at least 15 days before those products are placed on the market under their new name.
2. Taking into consideration the amendments referred to in paragraph 1, or if new information makes it imperative to do so, particularly for compelling reasons of public health, the competent authority may withdraw its approval. In this event it shall inform the applicant of its new decision within the time limits and in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 4.
The decision granting the right to confidentiality shall be valid for a period of five years.
If the beneficiary of this decision considers that there are exceptional reasons justifying an extension of this period, he may submit a reasoned request to the competent authority which initially granted the request for confidentiality.
The competent authority shall decide on this new request within the time limits and under the conditions referred to in Article 4.
The confidentiality period shall not be extended by more than three years.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of their decisions to grant requests for confidentiality or to extend such approval, indicating the name or style and address or head office of the applicants, the names of the cosmetic products containing the ingredient in respect of which the request for confidentiality has been granted, and the registration number referred to in Article 4 (1).
The Commission and the other Member States may obtain, on request, a copy of the case file containing the request for confidentiality together with the decision of the competent authority. Particularly in this framework the competent authorities of the Member States and the Commission shall make arrangements to ensure proper cooperation.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of their reasoned decisions to refuse or to withdraw approval of confidentiality or to refuse to extend the confidentiality period.
3. Member States and the Commission shall take the necessary measures to ensure that confidential data made known to them is not improperly disclosed.
Member States shall recognize the decisions taken by a competent authority as to the approval of confidentiality or extension of the confidentiality period.
However, if, after having been informed or after having received a copy of the case file in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 (1), a Member State challenges a decision taken by the competent authority of another Member State, it may ask the Commission to take a decision pursuant to the procedure referred to in Article 10 of Directive 76/768/EEC.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 18(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC, the placing on the market of a product containing or consisting of a genetically modified organism or a combination of genetically modified organisms is subject to written consent being granted by the competent authority of the Member State that received the notification for the placing on the market of that product, in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Directive.
(2) A notification concerning the placing on the market of a genetically modified carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12) was submitted by Florigene Ltd, Melbourne, Australia, to the competent authority of the Netherlands in March 2007.
(3) The notification covers import, distribution and retailing of Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12 as for any other carnation.
(4) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 14 of Directive 2001/18/EC, the competent authority of the Netherlands prepared an assessment report, which was submitted to the Commission and the competent authorities of the other Member States. That assessment report concludes that no reasons have emerged on the basis of which consent for the placing on the market of cut flowers of the genetically modified carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12) for ornamental use should be withheld, if specific conditions are fulfilled.
(5) The competent authorities of other Member States raised objections to the placing on the market of the product.
(6) The opinion adopted on 12 March 2008 (published 26 March 2008) (2) by the European Food Safety Authority (hereafter EFSA), concluded, from all evidence provided, that cut flowers of the genetically modified carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12) are unlikely to have an adverse effect on human and animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed ornamental use. EFSA also found that the scope of the monitoring plan provided by the notifier is in line with the intended use of the carnation.
(7) An examination of the full notification, additional information provided by the notifier, specific objections raised by the Member States and the opinion of EFSA, discloses no reason to believe that the placing on the market of cut flowers of the genetically modified carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12) will adversely affect human or animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed ornamental use.
(8) A unique identifier has been assigned to the genetically modified carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12) for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(9) In light of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, it is not necessary to establish specific conditions for the intended use with regard to the handling or packaging of the product and the protection of particular ecosystems, environments or geographical areas.
(10) Proposed labelling, on a label or in an accompanying document, should include wording to inform operators and final users that the cut flowers of Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12 can not be used for human or animal consumption nor for cultivation.
(11) A detection method as required by Annex III B.D.12 to Directive 2001/18/EC, was verified, tested and single-laboratory validated for the Dianthus caryophyllus L., line 123.8.12 in January 2008 by the Community Reference Laboratory established by Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
(12) The Committee under Directive 2001/18/EC did not deliver an opinion on the draft measures submitted by the Commission. The Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. Since on the expiry of the period laid down in Article 30(2) of Directive 2001/18/EC, the Council had neither adopted the proposed measures nor indicated its opposition to them, in accordance with Article 5(6) of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6), the measures should be adopted by the Commission,

In the event of a dispute, the analysis results shall be forwarded electronically to the Commission.
1. The successful tenderer must accept the lot as established if the final result of the sample analyses indicates a quality:
(a) higher than that specified in the notice of invitation to tender;
(b) higher than the minimum characteristics laid down for intervention but below the quality described in the notice of invitation to tender, providing that the differences having regard to those criteria do not exceed the following limits:
— one kilogram per hectolitre as regards specific weight, which must not, however, be less than 75 kg/hl,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Article 12 (3) (d) of Directive 77/388/EEC (3) lays down that the rules concerning the taxation of agricultural outputs other than those falling within category 1 of Annex H are to be decided unanimously by the Council before 31 December 1994 on a proposal from the Commission; whereas, until that date, those Member States which had already been applying a reduced rate might continue to do so while those applying a standard rate could not apply a reduced rate; whereas that allowed a two-year postponement in the application of the standard rate;
Whereas experience has shown that the structural imbalance in the VAT rates applicable by Member States to agricultural outputs of the floricultural and horticultural sectors has led to reported cases of fraudulent activities; whereas that structural imbalance is a direct result of the application of Article 12 (3) (d) and should be redressed accordingly;
Whereas the most appropriate solution would be to extend to all Member States, on a transitional basis, the option of applying a reduced rate to supplies of agricultural outputs of the floricultural and horticultural sectors and of wood used as firewood,
Directive 77/388/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 12 (3) (d) shall be deleted;
2. the following shall be inserted in Article 28 (2):
'(i) Member States may apply a reduced rate to supplies of live plants (including bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and ornamental foliage) and wood for use as firewood.`
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in that Directive;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has forwarded a list of the establishments authorized to export to the Community;
Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission, it appears that the animal health situation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia compares favourably with that in Community countries particularly as regards disease transmissible through meat;
Whereas Community on-the-spot inspections have shown that the hygiene standards of these establishments are sufficient and they may therefore be entered on a first list of establishments, drawn up in accordance with Article 4 (1) of that Directive, from which imports of fresh meat may be authorized;
Whereas imports of fresh meat from the establishments on the list in the Annex hereto continue to be subject to provisions already laid down, the general provisions of the Treaty and in particular the other Community veterinary regulations, particularly as regards health protection;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 989/86 (6) lays down detailed rules for applying processing aid; whereas, since it is impossible to establish in sufficient time the average of the quantities of lemons processed during the three marketing year preceding that in respect of which the aid is to be fixed because processing takes place throughout the marketing year, the three marketing years prior to the marketing year which precedes that in respect of which the aid is to be fixed should be taken as the reference period for lemons;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 934/95 of 10 April 1995 establishing tariff ceilings and a Community statistical surveillance in the framework of reference quantities for a certain number of products originating in Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Tunisia, Syria, Malta, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 553/97 (2), and in particular Articles 3 and 4 thereof,
Whereas the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (3), enters into force on 1 March 1998; whereas this agreement provides that certain products originating in Tunisia can benefit from tariff concessions within the framework of reference quantities, when imported into the Community and are subject to a Community statistical surveillance; whereas the agreement provides that the volumes of the reference quantities for these products are increased, between 1 January 1997 and 1 January 2000, in four yearly and equal steps, representing 3 % of these volumes; whereas the increases provided by the agreement for implementation in 1997 could not take place because of the entry into force of the agreement on 1 March 1998 and, consequently, the volumes of the reference quantities applicable in 1998 take account of two increases; whereas the new agreement provides a tariff concession for new potatoes from 1 January to 31 March, in the framework of a community tariff quota, but due to the entry into force of the agreement on 1 March 1998, it seems desirable to maintain for January and February 1998 the current concession for these products in the framework of a reference quantity;
Whereas, as a means of implementing the new concessions provided in the above mentioned agreement, Regulation (EC) No 934/95 should be amended; whereas, for all the products listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 934/95, this amendment must also take account of the necessary technical adjustments resulting from amendments of the Combined Nomenclature and of TARIC subdivisions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 934/95 shall be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1998, except for the reference quantities with order numbers 18.0110, 18.0125 and 18.0145, which shall apply from 1 March 1998.

of 7 June 2012
amending Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the requirements for imports of animals susceptible to bluetongue
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (1), and in particular Article 6(1), Article 7(e), and Article 13(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (2) lays down the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which live ungulate animals, including those susceptible to bluetongue, may be introduced into the Union and the veterinary certification requirements for such introduction.
(2) In particular, with regard to animals susceptible to bluetongue, certificates BOV-X, BOV-Y, OVI-X, OVI-Y and RUM set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 include inter alia the requirement that the animals come from a territory which, at the date of issue of the certificate accompanying them had been free from bluetongue for a period of twelve months.
(3) As a result of new technical developments, "inactivated vaccines" against bluetongue have become available which do not pose the risk of undesired local circulation of the vaccine virus to unvaccinated cattle, sheep and goats. It is now widely accepted that vaccination with inactivated vaccines is the preferred tool for the control of bluetongue and for the prevention of clinical disease in such animals in the Union.
(4) To ensure better control of the spread of the bluetongue virus and to reduce the burden on the agricultural sector posed by that disease, the rules on vaccination laid down in Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (3) were recently amended by Directive 2012/5/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) to take account of the recent technological developments in vaccine production.
(5) Accordingly, Directive 2000/75/EC now provides for the use of inactivated vaccines in all parts of the EU.
(6) As a result of the evolving epidemiological situation as regards bluetongue, and to align with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) standards, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 of 26 October 2007 on implementing rules for Council Directive 2000/75/EC as regards the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of certain animals of susceptible species in relation to bluetongue (5) was amended recently. The EU standards require the absence of virus circulation for a minimum period of two years in order to consider a territory free from bluetongue. The period of twelve months referred to in the relevant certificates set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) Directive 2000/75/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 apply to intra-Union movements of live ungulates of species susceptible to bluetongue. It is appropriate that the models of veterinary certificates BOV-X, BOV-Y, OVI-X, OVI-Y and RUM set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 be amended to align the animal health requirements for imports into the Union, as regards bluetongue, to the requirements for intra-Union movement in animals susceptible to that disease.
(8) Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
For a transitional period until 30 June 2012, consignments of live ungulates accompanied by a certificate issued before the date of entry into force of this Regulation in accordance with the models BOV-X, BOV-Y, OVI-X, OVI-Y or RUM set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 before the amendments introduced by this Regulation may continue to be introduced into the Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 10 and 11 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for in the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) In September 1989, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the International Association of Users of Yarn of Man-made Fabrics and of Natural Silk (Aiuffass) on behalf of Spinnhuette GmbH & Co., KG Seidentechnik, a company representing the entire Community production of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics.
The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of resulting material injury, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics, falling within CN codes ex 5007 10 00, ex 5007 20 10, and ex 5007 20 21 and originating in the People's Republic of China, and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant. It sent questionnaires to the parties directly concerned and also gave them the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
(3) All of the known interested parties, the Community producer, an independent importer and the exporter, returned the questionnaire duly completed to the Commission. The exporter and the importer also made known their views in writing. The exporter requested and was granted a hearing.
(4) The Commission verified the information received to the extent it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:
(a) Community producer:
Spinnhuette GmbH & Co., KG Seidentechnik, Celle, Germany;
(b) Community importer:
H. Delacamp GmbH & Co., KG, Hamburg, Germany.
(5) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January 1989 to 30 September 1989.
B. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION
(6) The product subject to investigation is a plain woven silk fabric made out of raw silk of a weight of 40 g/m2 or more but not exceeding 50 g/m2. The product is used by the office supplies industry for inking and for the further manufacture of typewriter ribbon spools.
(7) With respect to the physical and technical characteristics, the uses and the markets for this product, the Commission has concluded that the Chinese imports are like products to those produced in the Community, within the meaning of Article 2 (12) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
C. DUMPING
(8) In order to establish whether the imports originating in the People's Republic of China were dumped, the Commission had to take account of the fact that this country does not have a market economy and the Commission therefore had to base its determination on the normal value in a market economy country.
(9) The complainant had claimed that the Community producer and the Chinese producer are the only producers of the product in question in the world. This information has not been contested by any interested party during the investigation and so the normal value was determined, in accordance with Article 2 (5) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, by reference to the prices actually paid or payable in the Community, duly adjusted to include a profit margin of 5 %, considered to be reasonable for this product.
(10) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
(11) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability. Such as physical characteristics, payment terms, transport and insurance costs. All comparisons were trade at an ex-works level.
(12) The examination of the facts shows that imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics originating in the People's Republic of China were being dumped, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community. The weighted average dumping margin for the exporter, as a percentage of the cif price of the product at the Community frontier, was 47,2 %.
D. INJURY
(a) Volume and price of imports
(13) With regard to the injury, the Commission has established that imports into the Community from the People's Republic of China of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics, in volume terms, fell during the period 1986 to 1988 but that in the first nine months of 1989 the level of imports was equivalent to that for all the preceeding year 1988. As a result, the market share of the exporter, which had remained almost constant during 1986 to 1988, increased in absolute terms by 6 % during the first nine months of 1989. These products are imported into the Federal Republic of Germany by an importer, who subsequently re-sells throughout the Community, although the Federal Republic of Germany is the main market for these products, representing over 80 % of total Community consumption.
(14) The weighted average resale prices of these imports undercut the prices of the Community producer during the investigation period by between 10 to 15 % and were lower than those required to cover the costs of the Community producer and to provide a reasonable profit. The level of the import prices also deprived the Community producer of price increases which normally would have occurred during this same time period from the increasing costs of its raw materials.
(b) Impact on the Community industry
(15) Over the period from 1986 to 1988, production, capacity utilization and sales declined for the Community industry although market share remained stable. However, for the first nine months of 1989, there was a significant deterioration in all these factors with a reduction of market share of 6 %. The Community producer, which had operated with reasonable profit margins in 1987 and 1988, began to generate financial losses in 1989 and had therefore to reduce its level of employment with the introduction of short time working for its remaining employees.
(c) Causality
(16) Given the development of the increase in volume and the gain of market share of the dumped imports, the decline in sales and loss of market share of the Community industry during the first nine months of 1989 and the fact that prices of the dumped imports have undercut and suppressed the prices of the Community industry, the Commission has concluded that the injury suffered by the Community industry was caused by the effect of dumped imports, originating in the People's Republic of China, into the Community.
(17) The Commisson examined whether other factors might have been responsible for the injury to the Community industry. There are no imports originating in other third countries. Consumption in the Community of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics has been falling steadily in the Community by approximately 10 % per annum. Whereas this trend in consumption can explain the decrease in sales of the Community producer during the period in which injury has been examined, it cannot explain the significant loss of market share in the first nine months of 1989, which is clearly paralleled by an increase in market share by the exporter. Equally the Community producer was profitable in the years 1987 and 1988 when consumption was also declining, and therefore the Commission does not consider that falling consumption has contributed to the injury found.
(d) Conclusion
(18) In these circumstances, the Commission has concluded that the volume of Chinese dumped imports, and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the Community, taken in isolation, have to be considered as causing material injury to the Community industry concerned.
E. COMMUNITY INTEREST
(19) Although the requirements of the Community for silk typewriter ribbon are not great and are diminishing, there is and will continue to be a demand for this product in the Community. It would not be in the Community's interest for there to be a sole supplier of this product. The material injury caused to the Community producer by the dumped imports puts its survival at risk. Any protective measures should not however lead to the withdrawal of Chinese imports from the market or eliminate competition between these imports and Community production. The Community producer is in the weaker competitive position, quite apart from the fact that it is suffering from the dumping from China, since it is dependent on China for its supplies of raw silk. The Commission considers that the Community interest would best be protected by the imposition of a provisional anti-dumping duty and the acceptance of a price undertaking which should ensure the maintenance of effective competition between the two suppliers.
(20) The Commission considers that the situation warrants the imposition of provisional measures at this stage of the proceeding in order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding.
F. MEASURES
Price undertaking
(21) The only known exporter of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics, China National Silk Import and Export Corporation - Zhejiang Branch, requested and was informed of the main conclusions of the investigation; it submitted its comments and subsequently offered a price undertaking.
(22) This undertaking has the effect of raising prices by an amount which in no case exceeds the dumping margin established but which is sufficient to remove the injury caused to the Community industry, since the price of the imports plus the importer's costs and profit is thereby raised to the level of a selling price at which the Community producer can make a reasonable profit. It is, moreover, possible to monitor and control that this undertaking is respected. Under these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigations can be terminated for the exporter concerned without imposing an anti-dumping duty.
In addition, where there is reason to believe that the undertaking has been violated, provisional and definitive duties may be imposed based on the facts established before the acceptance of the undertaking.
This solution met with no objection within the Advisory Committee.
Duty
(23) On the basis of the information available, the Commission believes that the exporter, who has offered an undertaking, currently represents all Chinese exports of the pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics to the Community. However, in order to safeguard the effectiveness of the undertaking and to prevent possible circumvention by the appearance of other exporters in the future, a provisional anti-dumping duty should be imposed.
(24) The Commission considered that this duty should be based on the facts established in the investigation period for the exporter who fully cooperated in the investigation. Consequently, having regard to the extent of the injury caused, the rate of such a duty should be less than the dumping margin provisionally established but adequate to remove the injury caused. Having taken into account the selling price needed to provide an adequate profit (5 % margin on the sales price for this product) for the Community producer and the purchase price of the Community importer and their costs and profit margin, the Commission determined the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury to be 24,6 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price, not cleared through customs. The Commission considered that, to ensure the effectiveness of the protective measures and to facilitate customs clearance, the provisional duty should take the form of an ad valorem duty.
G. TIME LIMIT
(25) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, a period should be fixed within which the interested parties may make their views known and apply to be heard orally by the Commission.
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics falling within CN codes ex 5007 10 00 (Taric code: 5007 10 00 91), ex 5007 20 10 (Taric code: 5007 20 10 91) and ex 5007 20 21 (Taric code: 5007 20 21 91) and originating in the People's Republic of China.
2. The rate of duty shall be 24,6 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price, not cleared through customs (Taric additional code: 8466).
3. The duty shall not apply to the products referred to in paragraph 1, produced and exported by China National Silk Import & Export Corporation - Zhejiang Branch (Taric additional code: 8465). 4. For the purposes of this Regulation, a pure silk typewriter ribbon fabric means a plain woven silk fabric made out of raw silk of a weight of 40 g/m2 or more but not exceeding 50 g/m2.
5. The provisions in force with regard to customs duties shall apply.
6. The release for free circulation in the Community of the product originating in the People's Republic of China referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provision of a security equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.
The undertaking offered by China National Silk Import and Export Corporation - Zhejiang Branch, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics fallen within CN codes ex 5007 10 00 ex 5007 20 10 and ex 5007 20 21 and originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby accepted.
The investigation in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding referred to in Article 2 is hereby terminated in respect of the Company China National Silk Import & Export Corporation - Zhejiang Branch.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the parties concerned may make their views known in writing and request a hearing from the Commission within one month from the entry into force of this Regulation.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 228/85
of 29 January 1985
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of oxalic acid originating in Brazil
THE COUNCIL 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 12 thereof,
Having regard to the Commission proposal submitted after consultations within the Advisory Committee established by the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional action
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2553/84 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of oxalic acid originating in Brazil. By the same Regulation an undertaking offered by the German Democratic Republic exporter was accepted by the Commission and the proceeding as it concerned Spain was terminated.
B. Subsequent procedure
(2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, a Brazilian exporter concerned made written submissions making known its views on the duty.
This exporter also requested to be informed of certain facts and essential considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to recommend definitive action, and this request was granted.
C. Dumping
(3) No new evidence on dumping has been received since the imposition of the provisional duty. The Commission, therefore, considers its findings on dumping as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 2553/84 to be definitive.
D. Injury
(4) Although the abovementioned Brazilian exporter alleged that the Community industry was not being injured by the dumped imports, no fresh evidence regarding injury to the Community industry has been submitted.
The Commission has therefore confirmed the conclusions on injury reached in Regulation (EEC) No 2553/84.
(5) In the Commission's view, therefore, the facts as finally determined show that the injury being caused by dumped imports of oxalic acid originating in Brazil, taken in isolation from that caused by other factors, has to be considered as material.
E. Community interest
(6) No information has been submitted regarding Community interests subsequent to the imposition of the provisional duty and the Commission's conclusions on Community interest in Regulation (EEC) No 2553/84 therefore remain unchanged.
In these circumstances, protection of the Community's interest calls for the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of oxalic acid originating in Brazil.
F. Definitive duty
(7) In the light of the above determinations and since the Commission's conclusions on the rate of the provisional anti-dumping duty as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 2553/84 have remained unchanged, the amount of the definitive anti-dumping duty should be the same as the amount of the provisional anti-dumping duty.
G. Undertaking
(8) The only Brazilian exporter to cooperate in the investigation, IndĂşstrias Qumicas e Explosivos SA, having been informed that the main findings of the preliminary investigation had been confirmed, offered an undertaking which the Commission considered would eliminate the injury caused by the dumped imports and which was therefore considered acceptable,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of oxalic acid falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 29.15 A I, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 29.15-11, originating in Brazil.
2. The amount of the duty shall be 17,6 % of the price per tonne net, free-at-Community-frontier, before duty. The free-at-Community-frontier prices shall be net if the conditions of sale provide for payment within 30 days from the date of shipment; they shall be increased or reduced by 1 % for each increase or decrease of one month in the period for payment.
3. The duty shall not apply to oxalic acid exported by IndĂşstrias Qumicas e Explosivos SA, Lorena, Brazil.
4. The provisions in force with regard to customs duties shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 31,982/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2003.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 of 28 June 1968 on the Common Customs Tariff (3), repealed by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, established the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff on the basis of the Convention of 15 December 1950 on nomenclature for the classification of goods in customs tariffs;
Whereas the Commission has adopted a number of Regulations concerning the classification of goods in the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff on the basis of Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of the Council of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (4), repealed by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a goods nomenclature called the combined nomenclature, which simultaneously meets the requirements of the Common Customs Tariff and of the external trade statistics of the Community, and is based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, replacing the Convention of 25 December 1950;
Whereas Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 lays down that the codes and descriptions of goods established on the basis of the combined nomenclature are to replace those established on the basis of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff in force on 31 December 1987;
Whereas those Regulations which are still of practical significance and whose transposition will involve no changes of substance should be amended accordingly and so to complement an initial series of Regulations which has been adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 646/89 (5) and Regulation (EEC) No 2723/90 (6),

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1325/90 (2), and in particular Article 42 (6) thereof,
Whereas the measures implemented to support the wine market have not fully produced the results expected; whereas, therefore, the first condition laid down in Article 42 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the adoption of additional measures applicable to holders of long-term storage contracts is satisfied; whereas the second condition, namely that the representative price should remain lower than the activating price for three consecutive weeks, is likely to be fulfilled for table wine of types A I, A II, R I and R II during the reference period;
Whereas, in view of the market situation, distillation as provided for in Article 42 (2) should be opened for a quantity enabling at the same time stocks to be reduced and sound conditions to be restored on the market, both of which are vital for proper management; whereas, to the same end, the storage of the wine in question as provided for in that Article should be permitted for a period of four months;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 51/90 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application of voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2270/90 (5) fixes the prices and the aid applicable to distillation as provided for in Article 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 for the 1990/91 wine year;
Whereas storage contracts must be concluded in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 of 29 April 1983 on storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2753/89 (7); whereas, in order to be able to take account of changes in the market situation, provision should be made for the possibility of terminating contracts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. The additional measures provided for in Article 42 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall apply for the 1989/90 wine year.
2. Holders of long-term storage contracts for the 1989/90 wine year for table wine of types A I, A II, R I and R II may, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88:
(a) undertake distillation of a quantity of table wine covered by a contract of up to 3 % of the total quantity of table wine which they produced in the 1989/90 wine year;
(b) conclude one or more storage contracts for a period of four months under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 for all or part of the quantity of table wine covered by a contract exceeding 3 % of the total quantity of table wine which they produced during the 1989/90 wine year.
1. Contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b) shall be concluded not later than 15 January 1991.
If a holder of a long-term storage contract decides to take advantage of the possibility laid down in Article 1 (2) (b) in respect of all the wine covered by a long-term storage contract, the intervention agency may extend the old contract for the new period by altering the relevant wording.
2. In the case of storage contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b), the amount of the aid shall be that laid down for long-term storage contracts for the 1989/90 wine year.
3. Storage contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b) shall be terminated at the request of the producers concerned.
In that case:
- the storage aid shall remain payable for the period during which the wine was placed under such a contract,
- wine covered by the contract may not be distilled as provided for in Article 1 (2) (a).
The amounts referred to in Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 2484/89 shall be converted into national currency using the agricultural conversion rate applicable for wine on 31 August 1990.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 16 September 1990.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (2) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.
(2) Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should be amended accordingly.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 25 January 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'USC - Du Bois Object Analyzer, model 404', ordered on 1 April 1980 and to be used for the study of the composition of old porcelain for its classification in terms of its place and period of origin, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 8 June 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an analyzer; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'USC - Du Bois Object Analyzer, model 404', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 25 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas the compensation referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 is granted, under certain conditions, to Community tuna producers' organizations in respect of quantities of tuna delivered to the canning industry, during the calendar quarter for which prices were recorded, where the average quarterly price recorded on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price, plus, if necessary, the countervailing charge, are both lower than 93 % of the Community producer price for the product in question;
Whereas examination of the situation of the Community market has shown that for two species of the product in question, for the period 1 October to 31 December 1992, both the average quarterly market price and the free-at-frontier price referred to in
Article 18
of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 were lower than 93 % of the Community producer price in force as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3570/91 of 28 November 1991 fixing, in respect of the 1992 fishing year, the Community producer price for tuna intended for the industrial manufacture of products falling within CN code 1604 (3);
Whereas the quantities eligible for compensation, within the meaning of Article 18 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, shall not under any circumstances exceed, for the quarter concerned, the limits laid down in paragrph 4 of that Article;
Whereas during the quarter concerned the quantities sold and delivered to canning industries established in Community customs territory are, in the case of two presentations of yellowfin tuna, higher than those sold and delivered during the same quarter of the last three fishing years; whereas these quantities exceed the limits set in the first indent of Article 18 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92, the total quantities of these products should therefore be limited to those eligible for compensation and the quantities granted to each producers' organization concerned should be determined in accordance with their respective output during the same quarter of the 1984 to 1986 fishing years;

| COMMISSION DECISION of 9 December 1991 establishing the conditions governing the notification of chemical substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the inventory provided for in Article 13 of Directive 67/548/EEC (Only the German text is authentic) (92/3/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/660/EEC of 4 December 1990 on the transitional measures applicable in Germany with regard to certain Community provisions relating to the protection of the environment, in connection with the internal market (1),
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Directive 90/660/EEC provides that the Federal Republic of Germany shall take the measures necessary to ensure that substances and preparations which do not comply with Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2), as last amended by Directive 90/517/EEC (3), are not placed on the territory of the Community other than the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas any substance which does not appear on the inventory provided for in Article 13 of Directive 67/548/EEC (European inventory of existing commercial chemical substances - Einecs (4)) must be notified in accordance with the provisions of that Directive; whereas the conditions governing the notification of substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the inventory shall be laid down by the Commission;
Whereas any derogations from Community law provided for in connection with regard to the specific situation existing in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic must be temporary and cause the least possible disturbance to the functioning of the common market and must also reflect the high standard of protection for man and the environment achieved in the Community;
Whereas it seems, therefore, to be appropriate to subject chemical substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the inventory to a simplified notification procedure with certain minimum requirements, similar to Article 6 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC,
This Decision concerns the conditions governing the notification of substances existing on the market of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981 which do not appear on the inventory provided for in Article 13 of Directive 67/548/EEC.
Substances covered by this Decision are those which do not appear on the inventory provided for in Article 13 of Directive 67/548/EEC for which proof can be furnished to the satisfaction of the German competent authorities established pursuant to Article 7 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC, that they existed on the market in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic prior to 18 September 1981.
For all substances defined in Article 2 the provisions of Directive 67/548/EEC are applicable unless otherwise specified.
1. Manufacturers or importers of substances defined in Article 2, which are situated in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and have to notify the substance, have to submit to the German competent authorities a provisional notification as soon as possible, but not later than 31 March 1992. The provisional notification shall include:
(a) a declaration concerning the unfavourable effects of the substance in terms of the various foreseeable uses;
(b) the proposed classification and labelling of the substance in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC;
(c) proposals for any recommended precautions relating to the safe use of the substance;
(d) a technical dossier supplying the information necessary for evaluating the foreseeable risks, whether immediate or delayed, which the substance may entail for man and the environment, and containing all available relevant data for this purpose.
2. The technical dossier referred to in Article 4 (1) (d) shall contain as a minimum the information and results of the studies referred to in Annex VII, Section 1 and 2, Section 3 points 3.1, 3.2, 3.6, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10, and Section 4 points 4.1.1, 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 of Directive 67/548/EEC; in addition, it shall contain a mutagenicity test, in which the substance should be examined in a bacteriological (reverse mutation) test with and without metabolic activation. Where information and results of studies additional to these minimal requirements are available they shall also be submitted; this includes also studies referred to in Annex VIII of Directive 67/548/EEC. The results of studies shall be submitted together with a detailed and full description of the studies conducted and of the methods used or a bibliographical reference to them. Studies which have been initiated before 3 October 1990 and which have not been carried out in accordance with the methods laid down in Annex V of Directive 67/548/EEC and the principles of good laboratory practice provided for in Directive 87/18/EEC (5), may be accepted, if the data are adequate for the purpose of risk assessment.
3. Substances defined in Article 2 which have not been provisionally notified according to paragraph 1 and 2 may not be placed on the market in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic after 31 March 1992.
The German competent authorities shall examine the conformity of the data submitted in provisional notifications in order to assess compliance with the requirements of Article 4 (1) and (2). They shall send without delay copies of the provisional notification dossiers or summaries thereof to the Commission, which the Commission shall forward to the other Member States. The information will be exchanged according to Article 10 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC.
1. The German competent authorities shall evaluate the data submitted in provisional notifications and examined in accordance with Article 5, and shall where necessary decide, on a case by case basis and in consultation with the Commission, what additional data are required to complete the notification dossier.
2. The decision on additional data requirements has to be taken in view of the overall aim of Directive 67/548/EEC to assess the potential risks to man and the environment of chemical substances. It has to take into account in particular the available data, the intended use, and the tonnages of the substance to be marketed. The additional data shall not exceed those required pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC.
3. Decisions on additional information and testing requirements shall be communicated to the notifiers without undue delay.
4. The data required additionally have to be submitted to the German competent authorities by a date to be determined by them on a case by case basis, but not later than 12 months after the date on which the additional information and testing requirements were communicated to the notifier.
1. Upon receipt of the additional data submitted in conformity with Article 6 the German competent authorities shall decide in consultation with the Commission whether the notification is finally accepted and communicate their decision to the notifier.
2. After a decision has been taken to accept a notification, the German competent authorities shall send without delay copies of the completed notification dossiers or summaries thereof to the Commission, which the Commission shall forward to the other Member States. The information shall be exchanged according to Article 10 of Directive 67/548/EEC.
1. Substances which have been provisionally notified in accordance with Article 4 (1) and (2) and have been examined in accordance with Article 5 may be placed on the market of the Community, provided their label bears, in addition to the provisional label derived from the classification based on the tests already carried out, the warning: 'Caution - substance not yet fully tested'.
2. Substances shall no longer be placed on the market of the Community according to paragraph 1, if:
(a) additional data required according to Article 6 have not been submitted within the deadline; or
(b) the German competent authorities have decided not to accept the notification dossier according to Article 7 (1) and have communicated this decision to the notifier.
Substances for which the notification dossier has been accepted in accordance with Article 7 (1) of this Decision will be considered as notified pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC. These substances shall be subject to the same obligations as other substances notified pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Directive 67/548/EEC, particularly with respect to additional information or studies.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 30 April 1975 on the reform of agricultural structures in the Kingdom of Denmark in implementation of Title II of Directive No 72/161/EEC (Only the Danish text is authentic) (75/314/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Directive No 72/161/EEC (1) of 17 April 1972 concerning the provision of socio-economic guidance for and the acquisition of occupational skills by persons engaged in agriculture, and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof;
Whereas on 8 January 1974, 6 November 1974 and 21 January 1975 the Government of Denmark, acting in pursuance of the second indent of Article 10 (1) of Directive No 72/161/EEC, forwarded the text of the following provisions for the implementation of Title II of that Directive (on the acquisition of occupational skills by persons engaged in agriculture): - Law No 259 of 4 June 1970 on adult education colleges, agricultural colleges, domestic science colleges and continuation schools;
- Order No 271 of 2 June 1971 under the Law relating to the vocational training of semi-skilled workers etc. and to retraining;
- Order No 388 of 17 August 1972 under the Law on spare-time education etc.;
- Law No 29 of 3 February 1960 on state aids for agricultural training courses;
- Order of the Ministry of Education of 7 October 1974 on theoretical basic training for farmers who have not attended an agricultural college but who possess several years' practical experience of farming;
Whereas on 8 January 1974 and 21 January 1975 the Government of Denmark also forwarded additional information and documentation regarding courses of training and further training in agriculture already in existence under the above laws;
Whereas, under Article 11 (3) of Directive No 72/161/EEC, the Commission must decide whether, having regard to the objectives of the Directive and to the need for a proper connection between the various measures, the provisions forwarded comply with the Directive and thus satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community;
Whereas it is a basic aim of Title II of Directive No 72/161/EEC to enable persons aged 18 or over engaged in agriculture to have the opportunity of acquiring new agricultural skills, or of improving those which they already possess, so that they are in a position to be able to integrate into modern agriculture;
Whereas, to that end, the Member States are therefore required under Articles 5 (1) and 6 (1) of Directive No 72/161/EEC to introduce, in addition to the normal agricultural training provided in their country, measures designed to give farmers and hired and family agricultural workers further training of a general, technical and economic nature; (1)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 15.
Whereas under the third indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive No 72/161/EEC the Guidance Section of the EAGGF is to refund to Member States 25 % of the expenditure incurred in respect of such measures, up to a maximum of 1 500 units of account for each person engaged in agriculture having completed a course of basic or advanced vocational training;
Whereas the theoretical courses of basic training for farmers who have not attended an agricultural college but who possess several years' practical experience of farming which already exist under Law No 259 of 4 June 1970 and the Order of 7 October 1974 satisfy the requirements imposed in respect of complete courses designed to enable persons engaged in agriculture generally to improve their occupational skills or to acquire new ones;
Whereas the courses of advanced training for established farmers, horticulturalists and fruit growers and the agricultural training courses for semi-skilled workers which already exist under Orders No 259 of 4 June 1970, No 388 of 17 August 1972 and No 271 of 2 June 1971 may be regarded in principle as courses of advanced training within the meaning of Article 5 (1) and the third indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive No 72/161/EEC ; whereas, however, mere attendance at one only of the above courses cannot, because of their shortness, be regarded as completion of a course of advanced vocational training within the meaning of the third indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive No 72/161/EEC;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the Opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
1. The courses of theoretical basic training for farmers who have not attended an agricultural college but who possess several years' practical experience of farming which already exist under Law No 259 of 4 June 1970 as notified by the Government of Denmark on 8 January 1974 and under the Order of the Ministry of Education of 7 October 1974 as notified on 6 November 1974 satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 8 of Directive No 72/161/EEC.
2. The courses of advanced training for established farmers, horticulturalists and fruit growers and the agricultural training courses for semi-skilled workers which already exist under Orders No 259 of 4 June 1970, No 388 of 17 August 1972 and No 271 of 2 June 1971 as notified by the Government of Denmark satisfy the conditions for a financial contribution from the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 8 of Directive No 72/161/EEC. However, the Guidance Section of the EAGGF shall refund expenditure incurred, as provided in the third indent of Article 12 (2) of Directive No 72/161/EEC, only in respect of those farmers who have attended more than one of the said courses.
The financial contribution by the Community shall be in respect only of reimbursable expenditure incurred in connection with courses beginning after 1 January 1975.

renewing the approval of the active substance Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 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 20(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The approval of the active substance Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97, previously referred to as ‘Paecilomyces fumosoroseus Apopka strain 97, PFR 97 or CG 170, ATCC20874’, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2), expires on 31 December 2015.
(2) An application for the renewal of the inclusion of Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 (4) within the time period provided for in that Article.
(3) The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.
(4) The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal 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 3 June 2013.
(5) The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.
(6) On 28 April 2014 (5) the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion on whether Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft review report for Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 12 December 2014.
(7) It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied.
(8) The Commission further considered that Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 is a low-risk active substance pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 is not a substance of concern and fulfils the conditions set in Annex II point 5 to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 is a micro-organism for which following the assessment by the Rapporteur Member State and the Authority taking into account the intended uses is expected to pose a low risk for humans, animals and the environment. Firstly no mycotoxins are detected and the substances produced by the strain are clearly identified and are not of toxicological concern. Therefore the risk for operators, workers consumers and the environment is considered to be low. Secondly the strain has a low viability in an aquatic environment and is not related to any known fish or daphnid pathogenes. Therefore the risk for aquatic non-target organisms is considered to be low. Finally taking into account the intended uses, no concentrated quantities of the microorganisms are released in the sewages and this indicates a low risk to biological methods of sewage treatment.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97 and to include it in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 as a low-risk active substance.
(10) In accordance with Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, low risk substances are to be listed separately in the Regulation referred to in Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. It is therefore appropriate to add a Part D in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011. That Regulation should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) This Regulation should apply from the day after the date of expiry of the approval of the active substance Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Renewal of the approval of active substance
The approval of the active substance Isaria fumosorosea strain Apopka 97, as specified in Annex I, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
1. In Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 the second paragraph is replaced by the following paragraph:
‘The active substances approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are as set out in Part B of the Annex to this Regulation. The basic substances approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are as set out in Part C of the Annex to this Regulation. The low-risk active substances approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are as set out in Part D of the Annex to this Regulation.’
2. The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 of 22 December 1986 on common rules for imports of certain products originating in third countries (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 2) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in Indonesia have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article 11;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 on 23 June 1987 Indonesia was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested Indonesia for a provisional period of three months to limit exports to France of products falling within category 2 to 472 tonnes with effect from the date of notification of the request for consultations; whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations a quantitative limit identical to that requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas an outbreak of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia has occurred in October 1990 in the territory of Italy, and additionally the exact distribution of the disease has not been clearly established;
Whereas the appearance of this epizootic disease may constitute a danger to cattle in other Member States;
Whereas a significant risk may be considered to exist in respect of certain categories of live cattle;
Whereas a Community mission has recently visited Italy to examine and report on the situation;
Whereas the Italian authorities have undertaken to implement national measures that are necessary to guarantee the efficient implementation of this Decision;
Whereas it is necessary to amend the health certificate for trade between Member States of the EEC in relation to bovine animals for breeding or production;
Whereas the conditions under which intra-Community trade in bovines intended for breeding and production may be carried out are laid down in this Decision;
Whereas the Commission will follow developments in the situation; whereas this Decision may be amended in the light of such developments;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Article 1
1. Italy shall not send to other Member States live cattle from the geographical area mentioned in the Annex until such time as all of the bovine animals over 12 months of age within that area have passed three clear tests for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia carried out at intervals of not less than three weeks.
2. Once the testing requirements referred to in paragraph 1 have been satisfied, live cattle sent from this area to other Member States must comply with the conditions laid down in Articles 2 and 3. Article 2
Italy shall not send to other Member States live cattle for breeding and production coming from those parts of its territory outside those listed in the Annex unless:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 63(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 63(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, to the extent necessary to enable the products listed in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of that Regulation to be exported on the basis of the prices for those products on the world market and within the limits of the Agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, the difference between those prices and the prices in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Export refunds may be set to cover the competitive gap between Community and third country's exports. Community exports to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2001 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2744/95
of 27 November 1995
on statistics on the structure and distribution of earnings
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks assigned to it, the Commission must be kept informed of the position and trend of earnings in the Member States of the Community with regard, on the one hand, to their variations in terms of the structure of the labour force and, on the other hand, to the distribution of employees according to earnings level;
Whereas the development of the Community and the operation of the internal market increase the need for comparable data on the structure of earnings, particularly as a means of analysing the progress of economic and social cohesion and for establishing reliable comparisons between the Member States and the regions of the Community;
Whereas the best method of assessing the situation as regards the structure and distribution of earnings is to produce Community statistics of the structure of earnings using harmonized methods and definitions, as was done in 1966, 1972, 1974 and 1978 pursuant to Regulations No 188/64/EECC (1), (EEC) No 2395/71 (2), (EEC) No 178/74 (3), and (EEC) No 495/78 (4) respectively;
Whereas, owing to the changes which occur in the structure of the labour force and in the distribution of earnings, particularly as regards economic activities, the results of the earlier surveys are no longer up to date and do not cover all the Member States;
Whereas the data currently available for the Member States as a whole supply only averages and are not therefore likely to provide any indication either of the relationship between earnings and the individual characteristics of wage earners (particularly age, sex, professional status, length of service) or of the spread of earnings;
Whereas statistical information in this field is available only in certain Member States and valid comparisons cannot therefore be made; whereas the statistics of the structure of earnings must consequently be carried out on the basis of common definitions and harmonized methodologies;
Whereas, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the creation of common statistical standards enabling harmonized information to be produced is action which can be effectively undertaken only at Community level; whereas these standards will be implemented in each Member State on the authority of the agencies and institutions appointed to compile official statistics;
Whereas, pursuant to Decision 93/464/EEC (5), the production of Community statistics on the structure of earnings is one of the priority actions in the Statistical Programme 1993 to 1997;
Whereas it seems appropriate to make provisions for exceptions for certain Member States, in order to take account of particular technical difficulties encountered by such States in the collection of certain types of information, provided that the quality of the statistical information is not affected;
Whereas the Statistical Programme Committee established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (6), has reached a favourable conclusion on the Commission proposal,
General provisions
The Member States and the Commission, within their respective fields of competences, shall produce Community statistics on the structure and distribution of all employees' earnings in the sections of economic activities defined in Article 3.
Reference period
The statistics shall be produced on the basis of statistical information for the financial year of 1995 and for a corresponding representative month, subject to the special provisions mentioned in the Annex.
Scope
The statistics shall cover all activities defined in sections C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K of the Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community, hereinafter referred to as ‘NACE Rev. 1’ established by Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 (7), subject to the special provisions mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation.
Statistical Units
Collection of data and compilation of statistics on the structure and distribution of earnings shall be based on any of the statistical units defined in Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 (8) and shall provide information for employees in local units of 10 and more employees classified by size and principal activity.
Characteristics of the required information
Data shall be collected on:
1. the local unit to which the sampled employees are attached, as follows:
2. each employee in the sample, as follows:
(a) gross earnings for a complete pay period for the representative month, including the various bonuses regularly paid, additional payments for overtime, shift work, night work, weekend work and commissions; likewise included are remuneration for periods of absence (leave or sickness) entirely paid by the employer and family allowances and other benefits laid down by collective agreements or voluntarily within the local unit; total earnings related to overtime and special payments for shift work, night work or weekend work must be specified separately;
(b) annual gross earnings in the relevant financial year, i.e. the gross earnings as defined in 2 (a) referred to an annual basis, plus occasional bonuses (such as holiday bonuses, 13th month and profit sharing); the amount of occasional bonuses must be specified separately;
(c) the number of hours paid or the number of hours in a standard working week or month for which payment is made, the number of paid overtime hours in the pay period and the number of holidays, excluding public holidays per year;
(d) the sex, age and occupation classified according to the International Standard Classification of Occupations, level of education and training, length of service in the enterprise, working arrangements, i.e. full-time or part-time and type of employment contract.
Data collection
1. A survey shall be carried out through the appropriate statistical services of the Member States, which shall draw up the appropriate methods for collecting the information.
2. For some characteristics, such a level of education and training, as well as type of employment contract, the Member States are allowed to carry out trailer surveys in a sub-sample of employees drawn on the main survey.
3. Persons required to supply information shall reply to the questions truthfully, completely and within the time limits set. The Member States shall take appropriate measures to avoid any infringement of the obligation to supply the information referred to in Article 5.
4. The survey need not be carried out if the Member States have information from other appropriate sources which is at least equivalent as regards accuracy, quality and timeliness.
5. The Member States shall forward to the Commission (Eurostat) at its request all information, particularly concerning methodologies, needed for the application of this Regulation.
Representativeness
The reliability and comparability on a high quality level shall be attained by the use of sampling sizes allowing that the relative standard error for the variable average gross hourly earnings by section or subsection, where it exists, of NACE Rev. 1 at NUTS 1 level does not exceed 3%.
Processing of results
The statistical services of the Member States shall process the replies to the questions referred to in Article 6 (3) or the information from other sources, as referred to in Article 6 (4), so as to obtain comparable results.
Forwarding of results
The results shall be forwarded within a period of 18 months from the end of the calendar year of the reference period, including data declared confidential by the Member States pursuant to domestic legislation or practice concerning statistical confidentiality, in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 of 11 June 1990 on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities (10).

Whereas Article 2 (3) of Commission Regulation No 2681/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1685/90 (4), defines 'incorporation' for the purposes of qualifying for payment of production aid; whereas aid is payable when oil seeds are incorporated, that is, processed and mixed to form an animal feedingstuff without extraction of oil; whereas the present language versions lack clarity as regards the minimum number of products with which the oil seeds must be mixed in order to qualify for production aid; whereas this should be clarified; whereas it should be made clear that eligibility for payment of the aid is dependent on the products being irreversibly processed and rendered ineligible for further aid applications;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2681/83 is hereby replaced by the following:
'3. 'Incorporation' means the mixing with at leat one other product to form an animal feedingstuff, of the oil seeds which are crushed or milled before or after this operation without extraction of oil.

Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3, 9d(1) and 9e(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2) Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The applications for the authorisation of the additives listed in the Annexes to this Regulation were submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.
(5) The use of the micro-organism preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 was provisionally authorised for the first time for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 866/1999 (3). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that micro-organism preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that micro-organism preparation, as specified in Annex I, should be authorised without a time-limit.
(6) The use of the enzyme preparation of 3-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 528.94) was provisionally authorised for the first time for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 418/2001 (4). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time-limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex II, should be authorised without a time-limit.
(7) The use of the enzyme preparation of 3-phytase produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 528.94) was provisionally authorised for the first time for sows and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 358/2005 (5). It was authorised without a time-limit for pigs for fattening and piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 (6). New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to laying hens. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this additional animal category. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex III, should be provisionally authorised for four years.
(8) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2106) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105) was authorised without a time-limit for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 833/2005 (7). New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to piglets. The EFSA has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this additional animal category. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex III, should be provisionally authorised for four years.
(9) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,3(4)-beta-glucanase produced by Aspergillus aculeatus (CBS 589.94), endo-1,4-beta-glucanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CBS 592.94), alpha-amylase produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (DSM 9553), bacillolysin produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (DSM 9554) and endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma viride (NIBH FERM BP 4842) was provisionally authorised for the first time for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2437/2000 (8). It was authorised without a time-limit for chickens for fattening by Regulation (EC) No 358/2005. New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use of this enzyme preparation to turkeys for fattening. The EFSA has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for this additional animal category. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC for an authorisation of that preparation for that use are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex III, should be provisionally authorised for four years.
(10) The assessment of these applications shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annexes. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (9).
(11) 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 belonging to the group ‘Micro-organisms’, as specified in Annex I, is authorised without a time-limit as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 2158/2004
of 16 December 2004
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
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 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 December 2004.
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 |

| COMMISSION DECISION of 6 February 1991 on financial aid by the Federal Republic of Germany to the coal industry in 1990 and supplementary aid to the coal industry for 1989 (only the German text is authentic) (91/406/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),
Whereas:
I
In its letters of 3 January and 8 October 1990, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of the financial measures it intends to take in order to support the coal industry in 1990.
In its letter of 8 October 1990, the German Government also informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (3), of a supplementary measure it intends to take in support of the coal industry with regard to 1989.
Pursuant to the above Decision, the Commission must give a ruling on the following financial measures submitted to it for approval:
- aid totalling DM 3 550 million to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry in 1990,
- aid totalling DM 152 million under a scheme for maintaining the underground labour force in deep mines (Bergmannspraemie) for 1990,
- aid totalling DM 20 million for special depreciation in 1990,
- aid totalling DM 306 million to finance social benefit schemes in the coal industry in 1990, corresponding to the difference between actual and standard social charges,
- supplementary aid totalling DM 982 million to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry in 1989.
The measures which the German Government intends to take to support the coal industry comply with the provisions of Article 1 (1) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC. The Commission must therefore give a ruling under Article 10 of the Decision as to whether they comply with the objectives and criteria set out in that Decision and whether they are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
II
In accordance with Articles 4 and 12 of the Decision, coal undertakings are authorized, where necessary, to grant rebates on their list prices or production costs for deliveries to the Community iron and steel industry under long-term contract of coking coal, blast furnace coke and coal for injection into blast furnaces. These rebates must not cause the delivered prices of Community coal and coke to work out lower than those which would be charged for coal from non-member countries and coke made from non-member country coking coal.
Since 1 January 1989, the German Government's policy on aid to sales of coal and coke to the Community steel industry has been based on the principle of placing a ceiling on the amount of such aid for the years 1989, 1990 and 1991. The overall amount of aid planned for the period from 1 January 1989 to 31 December 1991 amounts to DM 10 960 million, while the total quantities eligible for this aid are expected to be 69,8 million tonnes.
On 28 February 1990, the Commission adopted Decision No 90/199/ECSC (2) on aid from the Federal Republic of Germany to the coal industry in 1989. This Decision authorized the German Government to grant aid of DM 2 865 million under the new system to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry. The Commission had noted in its Decision that the amount of aid, which corresponded to the budgetary resources available for the year 1989, would not cover the full amount necessary course of that year to cover an estimated quantity of 24,5 million tonnes of coal and coke.
By its letter of 8 October 1990, the German Government informed the Commission of the adjustment it intended to make to the amount authorized by the Decision. Compared with this amount, the additional sum for 1989 will be DM 982 million, bringing the total amount of aid to sales of coal and coke for 1989 to DM 3 847 million.
The German Government also plans to pay coal producers, within the framework of the budgetary resources available, a sum of DM 3 550 million for 1990, in respect of production of 23,8 million tonnes of coal and coke.
In view of the notification, the Commission feels that the progressive reduction in aid which is one of the objectives of the new scheme is beginning to take effect. It notes in the light of the information supplied by the German Government that this downward trend should become more marked in the course of 1991.
The Commission welcomes both the principle of placing a ceiling on aid and its progressive reduction, which should help speed up restructuring of the coal industry and hence improve its competitiveness in conformity with the first indent of Article 2 (1) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC.
Moreover, this aid is compatible with the provisions of Articles 4 and 12 of the Decision, as it does not lead to delivered prices lower than those which would be charged for coal from non-member countries.
It will also be necessary, pursuant to Article 11 (1) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, to ensure that this aid does not lead to discrimination within the meaning of the ECSC Treaty, as between Community buyers or users of coal or coke.
The German Government is to communicate at the end of 1990 any changes with regard to sales and information relating to production costs and the guide price, in order to enable the Commission to ensure that all the abovementioned provisions are complied with.
III
The aid of DM 152 million to finance mineworkers' bonuses (Bergmannspraemie) of DM 10 for every shift worked underground enables the undertakings to maintain a skilled underground workforce. This type of aid, which helps to increase productivity, is specifically provided for in Article 6 of the Decision and contributes to an improvement of the competitiveness of the industry in accordance with the first indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.
The aid covering special depreciation improves the competitiveness of the coal industry in that it enables restructuring to be speeded-up.
Since, at 0,1 % of the production cost, it is very low, this aid will not give the German coal undertakings a significant competitive advantage over other Community coal producers, especially since the returns do not cover the production costs. In view of its purpose, this measure conforms to the objective specified in the first indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.
The information supplied to the Commission regarding aid to finance social benefit schemes in the coal industry shows that the aid which the German Government intends to grant for these purposes makes the ratio between the burden per mineworker in employment and the benefits per person in receipt of benefit lower than the corresponding ratio in other industries. The difference between actual and standard charges in 1990 amounts to DM 306 million. Since the limits set in Article 7 of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC have thereby been exceeded, this must be considered as indirect aid to current production and must be examined on the basis of Article 10 (2) of the Decision. The reduction of about 1 % in production costs which it entails will not give the German coal industry a significant competitive advantage over other Community coal producers. Since this measure reduces the industry's operating costs, it helps solve the social and regional problems relating to developments in the coal industry by permitting a better phasing of restructuring and rationalization measures. It thus helps to achieve the objective referred to in the third indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.
IV
Consequently, the aid measures referred to in this Decision are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
This Decision does not prejudge the compatibility with Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of the amounts of aid scheduled by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany for the years following 1990 under the system it has established for aid to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry,
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to grant aid of DM 4 028 million to the German coal industry for the 1990 calendar year. The total amount shall be made up of the following aid:
1. aid totalling DM 3 550 million to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry;
2. aid totalling DM 152 million under a scheme for maintaining the underground labour force in deep mines (Bergmannspraemie);
3. aid totalling DM 20 million for special depreciation;
4. aid totalling DM 306 million to finance social benefit schemes in the coal industry, corresponding to the difference between actual and standard social charges.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized to grant supplementary aid of DM 982 million to sales of coal and coke to the Community iron and steel industry for 1989, bringing the total amount of aid under this measure to DM 3 847 million for 1989.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany shall notify the Commission by 30 June 1991 of the total amounts of aid paid in 1990.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second indent of Article 67(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) Under the Treaty of Amsterdam the European Community acquired the power to adopt measures in the field of visas, asylum, immigration and other policies relating to the free movement of persons, as laid down in Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community (hereinafter ‘the Treaty’).
(2) Under Article 67 of the Treaty, as introduced by the Treaty of Amsterdam, most of those measures were to be adopted by the Council acting unanimously after consulting the European Parliament.
(3) Under the second indent of paragraph 2, of the same Article 67, the Council, acting unanimously after consulting the European Parliament, shall take a decision, after a transitional period of five years following the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam, with a view to providing for all or parts of the areas covered by Title IV to be governed by the procedure referred to in Article 251 thereof.
(4) Pursuant to Article 67(5) of the Treaty which was added by the Treaty of Nice the Council shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251, adopt the asylum-related measures provided for in Article 63(1) and (2)(a) provided that the Council has, unanimously and after consultation of the European Parliament, adopted Community legislation defining the common rules and basic principles governing those issues, as well as the measures on judicial cooperation in civil matters provided for in Article 65 with the exception of aspects relating to family law; those provisions are not affected by this Decision.
(5) Moreover, pursuant to the Protocol on Article 67 of the Treaty, annexed to that Treaty by the Treaty of Nice, as from 1 May 2004 the Council shall act by a qualified majority, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, when adopting the measures referred to in Article 66 of the Treaty; that Protocol is not affected by this Decision.
(6) In addition to that which follows from the Treaty of Nice, when approving ‘the Hague Programme’: ‘Strengthening Freedom, Security and Justice in the European Union’ at its meeting on 4 and 5 November 2004 the European Council asked the Council to adopt a decision based on Article 67(2) of the Treaty no later than 1 April 2005 to the effect that the Council is required to act in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 when adopting, in conformity with the case law of the Court of Justice relating to the choice of legal basis for Community acts, the measures referred to in Article 62(1), (2)(a) and (3) and Article 63(2)(b) and 3(b) of the Treaty.
(7) However, the European Council took the view that, pending the entry into force of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, the Council should continue to act unanimously after consulting the European Parliament when adopting measures in the field of the legal migration of third-country nationals to and between Member States referred to in Article 63(3)(a) and (4) of the Treaty.
(8) The transition to co-decision procedures for the adoption of measures referred to in Article 62(1) of the Treaty is without prejudice to the requirement for the Council to act unanimously when taking the decisions referred to in Article 3(2) of the Act of Accession of 2003, Article 15(1) of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the, implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (1), Article 4 of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on the European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union and any future accession treaty.
(9) The transition to codecision procedures for the adoption of measures referred to in Article 62(2)(a) of the Treaty is without prejudice to the competence of the Member States concerning the geographical demarcation of their borders, in accordance with international law.
(10) Incentive measures to support the action of Member States regarding the integration of third country nationals residing legally in their territories might be adopted by the Council acting in accordance with the appropriate legal basis provided for in the Treaty.
(11) As a consequence of the transition to co-decision procedures for the adoption of measures referred to in Articles 62(2) and (3) of the Treaty, the Regulations reserving to the Council implementing powers with regard to certain detailed provisions and practical procedures for examining visa applications and for carrying out border checks and surveillance should be amended so as to require the Council to act by qualified majority in those cases.
(12) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark does not take part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
(13) In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, those Member States have notified their wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Decision,
1. As from 1 January 2005 the Council shall act in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty when adopting measures referred to in Article 62(1), (2)(a) and (3) of the Treaty.
