Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 89 (1) and 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3920/90 (2), and in particular Article 16 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price are to be fixed for each marketing year for each of the products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas tomatoes harvested in a given growing season are marketed from January to December of each year; whereas, however, in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, no basic price or buying-in price should be fixed during the slack marketing period at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas, in order to ensure that intervention is possible for tomatoes from 11 June 1991, it is necessary to fix the basic price and the buying-in price for this product for the period 11 June to 16 June 1991, pending a decision for the 1991/92 marketing year;
Whereas the application of Articles 148 (1) and 285 (1) of the Act of Accession to Spain and Portugal respectively results in price levels differing from those of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Articles 149 and 285 of the said Act, the Spanish and Portuguese prices should be aligned on the common prices at the beginning of the marketing year; whereas the criteria laid down for that alignment result in the basic price and the buying-in price applicable in those two Member States being fixed at the levels given below,
Article 1
For the period 11 June to 16 June 1991, the basic price and the buying-in price for tomatoes, expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net, shall be as follows:

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1168/95 of 22 May 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyester yarns (man-made staple fibres) with regard to those originating in Indonesia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyester yarns falling within CN codes 5509 21 10, 5509 21 90, 5509 22 10, 5509 22 90, 5509 51 00 and 5509 53 00, and originating in Indonesia and several other countries, with the exception of goods produced and sold for export to the Community by one Indonesian producer for which the anti-dumping duty does not apply.
B. REVIEW
(2) Six Indonesian companies, PT Bitratex Industrial Corp., PT Elegant Textile Industry, PT Gokak Indonesia, PT Indorama Synthetics, PT Lotus Indah Textile Industries, PT Sunrise Bumi Textiles claimed that their export ex-works price was higher than their domestic ex-works price, that their domestic selling prices were profitable, and that in consequence they were no longer dumping.
(3) Two other Indonesian companies, PT Kanindo Success Textile Industries and PT Sulindafin Permai Spinning Mills (PT Sulindamills) claimed that they did not export the products concerned during the period covered by the previous investigation and only started doing so after that period and that they were not related to any company subject to the previous investigation. Therefore, they requested that a newcomer review be opened.
(4) Those companies provided evidence of the facts they alleged, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with the provisions of Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. By a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee, initiated a review of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 with regard to the eight companies cited above and commenced its investigation. The review was limited to an examination of changed circumstances in dumping.
It should be noted that the exports of these companies represent 35 % of total exports of mixed yarn to the European Community by Indonesian exporters.
(5) The Commission sent questionnaires to the parties concerned and gave them the opportunity to make their views known. The Commission sought and verified all information it considered necessary and inspected the information submitted in the premises of all the companies abovementioned. The Commission also received information from the complainant in the original investigation.
(6) The investigation covered the period 1 January 1993 to 31 December 1993 (investigation period).
C. RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
1. Normal value (7) Domestic sales of the producers under consideration were used where they exceeded 5 % of sales of the type concerned, therefore represented a volume sufficient to constitute a representative market and an adequate basis for calculating the normal value. Normal value was therefore calculated, by type, on the basis of the weighted average domestic prices in the domestic market at prices actually paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade, in accordance with Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
The prices were net of all discounts and rebates directly linked to the sales under consideration.
(8) Constructed value was used where domestic prices did not permit recovery of all costs in the normal course of trade, or where the sales in the Indonesian market of the similar type did not exist. In accordance with Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the normal value was determined, by type, by adding costs, both fixed and variable, of raw materials and manufacture, plus a reasonable amount for selling, administrative and other general expenses and a reasonable profit margin.
The profit margin used was based on the weighted average profit realized by the producer on all profitable sales of the same type of the like product or when there were no sales of the same type, it was based on the profitable sales of the like product of the Indonesian producer concerned.
2. Export price (9) Where sales were made to independent importers in the Community, export price was determined on the basis of the price actually paid or payable for the product sold for export to the Community, in accordance with Article 2 (8) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
As far as the two newcomers are concerned, the investigation showed that they had exported the product concerned to the Community during the investigation period. Therefore the Commission was able to calculate the dumping.
3. Comparison (10) For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken of differences directly affecting price comparability, such as commissions, credit terms, transport, insurance, handling, packing and technical assistance, in accordance with Article 2 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
Export prices were compared, on a transaction by transaction basis, with normal value at ex-works level.
(11) The Indonesian producers claimed an adjustment for the salaries paid to salesmen. However, the investigation showed that the so-called salesmen were all employed at management level as shown by their position in the organigram of the companies and the corresponding salaries. Therefore, it was considered that these companies failed to prove that this personnel was wholly engaged in direct selling activities. In these circumstances, the adjustment was not granted.
(12) The Indonesian producers also claimed that normal value should be reduced by an allowance corresponding to import charges borne by materials physically incorporated in the like product when destined for domestic consumption and refunded when exported to the Community. After examining the evidence submitted by the claimants in this context, the adjustment was duly allowed pursuant to Article 2 (10) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
4. Dumping margin (13) The examination of the facts showed the existence of dumping with respect to the product concerned. The margins of dumping, being equal to the amount by which normal value exceded the price for export to the Community, expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, customs duty unpaid, were as follows:
>TABLE>
Except for PT Kanindo Success Textile Industries and PT Lotus Indah Textile Industries for which no dumping was found, the dumping margins of the other companies are to be considered as de minimis.
(14) As far as PT Gokak Indonesia is concerned, it was found that this company did not export the product under consideration to the Community during the investigation period. Therefore, as no new calculation concerning the dumping margin could be made, it was proposed by the company that either a variable duty be imposed on the basis of the minimum export prices, or the weighted average dumping margin found for the other companies involved in the review be used.
The on-the-spot investigation showed that all its domestic sales were made at a loss and there was every indication that its exports to third countries were dumped.
In the light of the above the Commission services have considered that, for this company, the conditions under which the duty would be withdrawn were not fulfilled, contrary to the other companies involved in the review.
In these circumstances, taking into consideration the fact that the large variety of types of yarns concerned makes it impossible to impose a minimum price based on the constructed normal value, it is proposed to maintain the anti-dumping duty imposed in the original investigation, i.e. 11,9 %, bearing in mind that this company exported the product concerned to third countries at dumped prices and that there is nothing to suggest that it might behave differently regarding exports to the Community.
D. INJURY AND COMMUNITY INTEREST
(15) No request for review of the findings on injury and Community interest was made and there is no reason to doubt the validity of the injury findings in the original investigation.
E. AMENDMENT OF THE REVIEWED MEASURES
(16) In the present case, since, for seven Indonesian producers, there is either no dumping, or the dumping margins found are de minimus, the Commission considers that Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 should be amended and that the anti-dumping duty be withdrawn for these companies.
(17) The duty of 11,9 % imposed in the original investigation is to be maintained for PT Gokak Indonesia.
(18) The companies concerned and the complainant in the original investigation have been informed of these findings.
(19) In accordance with Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the duration of validity of the measures imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 is not affected by this Regulation which neither modifies nor confirms these measures,
Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 830/92 shall be replaced by the following:
'3. None of the duties shall apply to imports of the products specified in paragraph 1 produced by PT Kewalram Indonesia, Bandung, Indonesia, PT Bitratex Industrial Corp., Jakarta Selatam, PT Elegant Textile Industry, Jakarta, PT Kanindo Success Textile Industries, Jakarta, PT Indorama Synthetics, Jakarta, PT Lotus Indah Textile Industries, Surabaya, PT Sulindafin Permai Spinning Mills (PT Sulindamills), Jakarta, PT Sunrise Bumi Textiles, Jakarta (Taric additional code: 8595) and Guangying Spinning Co., Ltd, Guangzhou, People's Republic of China (Taric additional code: 8596).`

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production of the products referred to in this Regulation is at present inadequate or non-existent within the Community and producers are thus unable to meet the needs of user industries in the Community;
Whereas it is in the Community's interest in certain cases to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties only partially, particularly because of the existence of Community production, and in other cases to suspend them completely;
Whereas the decision for the suspension of these autonomous duties should be taken by the Community;
Whereas, taking account of the difficulties involved in accurately assessing the development of the economic situation in the sectors concerned in the near future, these suspension measures should be taken only temporarily, by fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of Community production,
The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the Annex shall be suspended at the level indicated in respect of each of them.
These suspensions shall apply from 1 January to 30 June 1995.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1995.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1443/2006
of 29 September 2006
concerning the permanent authorisations of certain additives in feedingstuffs and an authorisation for 10 years for a coccidiostat
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3, 9 and 9d(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) Data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of the enzyme preparation of 3-phytase produced by Hansenula polymorpha (DSM 15087) for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, piglets, pigs for fattening and sows. On 7 March 2006 the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) delivered its opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for the consumer, the user, the animal category targeted or the environment. 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 I to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time limit.
(6) The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (ATCC 2105) was provisionally authorised for the first time for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1411/1999 (3). 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 I to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time limit.
(7) The use of the coccidiostat preparation of semduramicin sodium (AVIAX 5 %) was provisionally authorised for the first time for chickens for fattening, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1041/2002 (4). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for 10 years of that coccidiostat. 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 substance, as specified in the Annex II, should be authorised for 10 years.
(8) Data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, belonging to the group ‘Vitamins, provitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect’ for chickens for fattening, laying hens and turkeys. On 26 May 2005 the Authority has delivered an opinion on the use of this preparation which concludes that it does not present a risk for the consumer, the user, the animal category targeted or the environment. 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 vitamin preparation, as specified in Annex III, should be authorised without time limit.
(9) 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 (5).
(10) 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 preparations belonging to the group ‘Enzymes’, as specified in Annex I, are authorised without a time limit as additives in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The preparation belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostat and other medicinal substances’, as specified in Annex II, is authorised for 10 years as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
The preparation belonging to the group ‘Vitamins, provitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect’, as specified in Annex III, is authorised without a time limit as additive in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2535/95(2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 267/96(4), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 7(1) thereof,
(1) Whereas, by Decision 98/657/EC(5), the Commission adopted a plan allocating resources to the Member States for the 1999 financial year; whereas that plan specifies the financial resources available for its implementation in 1999 in the participating Member States and lays down the quantities of each type of product to be withdrawn from intervention stocks within the limit of those financial resources; whereas the plan should be adopted to take account, on the one hand, of the correction to the intervention price used for determining the quantities of olive oil made available to the Member States requesting that product and, on the other hand, of the available budget resources allocated for the operation; whereas account should also be taken of underconsumption observed when the annual plan was implemented so that appropriations not utilised can be allocated to those Member States wishing to use them; whereas, with a view to the utilisation of those quantities of products, intra-Community transfers should also be authorised in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92;
(2) Whereas, since the quantity of beef that can be made available to Finland is less than 60 tonnes and the product must, where appropriate, be transferred from another Member State, Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 must be applied to Finland and a sum made available so it can mobilise the product on the market;
(3) Whereas, for the sake of clarity, Annex I to Decision 98/657/EC must be replaced;
(4) Whereas this amendment to the plan for 1999 is being made at a time when its implementation is drawing to a close; whereas the extra supplies must be secured urgently and this can only be achieved in time through the organisation, by way of an exception, of restricted invitations to tender; whereas specific provisions must accordingly be laid down for the end of the 1999 financial year;
(5) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinions of all the Management Committees concerned,
Decision 98/657/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Annex I is replaced by Annex I hereto.
2. Annex II hereto is added to the Decision as Annex III thereto.
Notwithstanding Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3149/92, the Member States may secure the extra supplies of products required under this Decision by organising, or seeing to the organisation of, restricted invitations to tender involving competition among at least three tenderers, selected without discrimination as to nationality or place of establishment.
The intra-Community transfers listed in Annex II are hereby authorised.

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1) and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8 and point 4 of Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1) and 24(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (3) lays down rules on imports into the Union and the transit and storage in the Union of consignments of meat products, and of consignments of treated stomachs, bladders and intestines, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (4).
(2) Decision 2007/777/EC also lays down lists of third countries and parts thereof from which such imports and transit and storage are to be authorised, sets out the model public and animal health certificates, and the rules on the origin and treatments required for those imported products.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (5) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, including storage during transit, through the Union of poultry, hatching eggs, day-old chicks, specified pathogen-free eggs, meat, minced meat and mechanically separated meat of poultry, including ratites and wild game birds, eggs and egg products. That Regulation provides that those commodities are only to be imported into the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.
(4) Due to recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in South Africa, Decision 2007/777/EC and Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 were amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 536/2011 (6), in order to prescribe specific treatments for imports from South Africa of meat products, treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption obtained from meat of farmed ratites and of biltong/jerky and pasteurised meat products consisting of, or containing meat of farmed feathered game, ratites and wild game birds which are sufficient to eliminate animal health risks linked to these commodities and to prohibit imports of breeding and productive ratites and of day-old chicks, hatching eggs and meat of ratites. from the whole territory of South Africa covered by Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.
(5) South Africa has submitted information to the Commission on the control measures taken in relation to the recent HPAI outbreaks. The Commission has evaluated that information and the epidemiological situation following those outbreaks in South Africa.
(6) In addition, the Union’s Veterinary Emergency Team carried out a mission to South Africa to assess the situation and give recommendations to improve disease control.
(7) South Africa has implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control the disease and limit its spread. South Africa is carrying out surveillance activities for avian influenza which appear to meet the requirements laid down in Part II of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.
(8) The positive outcome of the evaluation of the disease situation and the epidemiological investigations carried out by South Africa allow limiting the restrictions on imports of ratite meat into the Union to the disease-affected part of the territory of South Africa, placed under restrictions by South Africa. However, the restrictions on imports of live ratites and their hatching eggs should be maintained for the whole territory of South Africa owing to the higher risk for a possible virus introduction into the Union.
(9) With respect to the treatments laid down in Decision 2007/777/EC for imports of certain meat products, treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption as well as for biltong/jerky and pasteurised meat products, the treatments applied before the occurrence of the HPAI outbreaks should again be applied for those commodities originating from the disease-free part of the territory of South Africa.
(10) Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC lists the territories or parts of territories of third countries to which regionalisation for animal health reasons applies. South Africa’s entry should be amended to take account of the new disease situation as regards HPAI in that third country and the resulting consequences for the restrictions on imports of affected commodities into the Union.
(11) Decision 2007/777/EC and Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) 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 II to Decision 2007/777/EC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COUNCIL DECISION
of 10 November 2014
on the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union within the International Maritime Organization during the 94th session of the Maritime Safety Committee on the adoption of amendments to the 2011 Enhanced Survey Programme Code
(2014/826/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 100(2) and 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Action by the European Union in the sector of maritime transport should aim to improve maritime safety.
(2) The IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) meeting at its 93rd session approved amendments to the 2011 Enhanced Survey Programme (ESP) Code. Those amendments are expected to be adopted at the 94th session of the MSC, to be held in November 2014.
(3) The amendments to the 2011 ESP Code bring it in line with the practices of classification societies and also allow, under certain conditions, hydrostatic testing of cargo tanks by the ship's crew, under the direction of the master, in lieu of carrying out such testing in the presence of a surveyor.
(4) Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) No 530/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) provide for the mandatory application of the IMO's Condition Assessment Scheme (CAS). The CAS is complemented by the 2011 ESP Code, adopted by the IMO Assembly by Resolution A.1049(27). Annex B, part B, of the 2011 ESP Code concerns inspections during surveys of oil tankers other than double-hull oil tankers and specifies how to undertake the intensified assessment. As a consequence, any changes to the 2011 ESP Code, as far as single-hull oil tankers above 15 years of age are concerned, will automatically be applicable through Regulation (EU) No 530/2012.
(5) The Union is neither a member of the IMO nor a contracting party to the conventions and codes concerned. It is therefore necessary for the Council to authorise the Member States to express the position of the Union and express their consent to be bound by the amendments to the 2011 ESP Code,
1. The position of the Union at the 94th session of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee shall be to agree to the adoption of the amendments to the 2011 ESP Code, as laid down in Annex 22, Annex B, part B, of the IMO document MSC 93/22/Add.3, for the purposes referred to in Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) No 530/2012.
2. The position of the Union as set out in paragraph 1 shall be expressed by the Member States, which are members of IMO, acting jointly in the interest of the Union.
3. Formal and minor changes to this position may be agreed without requiring that position to be amended.
Member States are hereby authorised to give their consent to be bound, in the interest of the Union, by the amendments referred to in Article 1(1).
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the securities against import licences for live animals and meat are not consistent in the various regulations; whereas they should be updated and harmonised;

Having regard to Commission Decisions 75/578/EEC of 30 June 1975 (3), 76/221/EEC of 30 December 1975 (4), 77/145/EEC of 29 December 1976 (5) and 78/124/EEC of 28 December 1977 (6), authorizing the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to restrict the marketing of seed or propagating material of certain varieties of agricultural plant species, and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 (1) of the abovementioned Directive, seed or propagating material of these varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially approved in at least one of the Member States and which also fulfil the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, after the expiry of a given period, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety within the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the abovementioned Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized upon application to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas, with the abovementioned Decisions, the Commission has authorized the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to prohibit the marketing of seed of durum wheat and also of certain types of varieties of oats (winter oats) and of maize (late varieties) because it was well known that the varieties of these species or types have not yet been suitable for cultivation in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Article 15 (3) (c), second case, of the abovementioned Directive);
Whereas, meanwhile, varieties of winter oats have been under test in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for a possible cultivation of this species in that country;
Whereas because of the results of this possible cultivation it can no longer be maintained that varieties of this species are not suitable for cultivation in any part of the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg;
Whereas, therefore, the conditions of Article 15 (3) (c), second case, of the abovementioned Directive are no longer satisfied in the case of varieties of winter oats;
Whereas for the species durum wheat and maize the user information system in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been set up in such a way as to permit the Grand Duchy to give up its prohibitions on marketing;
Whereas, therefore, the authorization based on these conditions should be withdrawn for these three species;
Whereas it should be possible for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to request at a later date, if necessary, a new authorization for any of the varieties of winter oats where growing trials show that these varieties, because of their qualities, do not produce results, in any part of its territory, which correspond to those obtained from other comparable varieties (Article 15 (3) (c), first case, of the abovementioned Directive);
Whereas, therefore, the period for granting an authorization should be extended appropriately for all varieties concerned from this species;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry, (1)OJ No L 225, 12.10.1970, p. 1.

The period provided for in Article 15 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC shall be extended for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg beyond 31 December 1983, for the varieties of winter oats referred to in Commission Decisions 75/578/EEC, 76/221/EEC and 78/124/EEC where such period concerns authorization pursuant to Article 15 (2) of the abovementioned Directive.

| COUNCIL DECISION of 18 July 1989 establishing a medium-term Community action programme concerning the economic and social integration of the economically and socially less privileged groups in society (89/457/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, under Article 2 of the Treaty, the task of the Community is to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion, an increase in stability, an accelerated raising of the standard of living and closer relations between the States belonging to it;
Whereas by its Decision 85/8/EEC of 19 December 1985 (4) the Council authorized the Commission to implement specific Community action to combat poverty which came to an end on 31 December 1988; whereas this action should be continued and broadened;
Whereas in order to attain the abovementioned goal the improvement of standards of living in each Member State should be shared by the economically and socially less privileged in each Member State;
Whereas insecurity in relation to employment, a phenomenon which has grown in recent years, is also incompatible with this goal;
Whereas national economic and social policies and Community action in the field of employment can, by attacking the structural causes of this economic and social exclusion, make an effective contribution to the fight against it;
Whereas, irrespective of the measures which may be taken under the various Community policies to foster the economic and social integration of groups in society at risk of becoming economically and socially less privileged, there is a need for more specific action to attain the abovementioned goal;
Whereas it is necessary, in order to ensure economic and social cohesion, to take preventive measures against any short-term negative effects of completion of the large market on the social groups most at risk and to optimize corrective measures for the groups already marginalized;
Whereas exchanges of information and experience and consultation between the Member States and the Commission on action to combat the exclusion of the least privileged members of society are essential to this economic and social cohesion of the Community;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide for the action concerned, powers other than those of Article 235,
A medium-term Community action programme concerning the economic and social integration of the economically and socially less privileged groups in society is hereby established for the period from 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1994.
The aims of the programme shall be to:
(a) ensure overall coherence between all Community operations having an impact on the economically and socially less privileged groups in society, whilst adhering to the respective rules applicable to those operations;
(b) contribute to the development of preventive measures to assist groups in society at risk of becoming economically and socially less privileged and of corrective measures to meet the needs of the very poor;
meet the needs of the very poor;
(c) produce, from a multidimensional viewpoint, innovatory organizational models for the integration of the economically and socially less privileged members of society, involving all economic and social agents;
(d) conduct an information, coordination, assessment and exchange of experience operation at Community level;
(e) continue to study the characteristics of the economically and socially less privileged members of society.
With a view to achieving the aims referred to in Article 2, the Commission may promote and/or financially support:
(a) the carrying-out of pilot projects which are integrated into the fabric of local society and aimed at fostering the economic and social integration of the economically and socially less privileged groups in society by coordinating local initiatives with national or regional policies.
These pilot projects must correspond to the actual needs of the economically and socially less privileged and must allow them to play an active role so that they can become genuinely integrated into society;
(b) innovatory measures to foster the economic and social integration of certain groups of people who suffer from specific forms of isolation, in particular those measures undertaken by non-governmental organizations;
(c) the assessment of schemes, the intra-Community exchange of knowledge and the transfer of methods, to be carried out by a network of research and development units whose members shall be appointed by the Commission in consultation with the Member States concerned;
(d) the exchange on a regular basis of comparable data on the economically and socially less privileged groups in society and the improvement of knowledge of the phenomenon.

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 24,109/100 kg.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (3), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The following active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: pyrimethanil, pethoxamid, bifenazate and rimsulfuron by Commission Directives 2006/74/EC (4), 2006/41/EC (5), 2005/58/EC (6), and 2006/39/EC (7) respectively.
(2) The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed use. Information relating to that use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of that Directive. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.
(3) Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing these active substances may be authorised.
(4) Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number of Codex MRLs for bifenazate. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs have been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers. No risk was established when using the toxicological end points based on the studies available to the Commission.
(5) The Commission review reports which were prepared for the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, fixed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and, if necessary, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) for those substances. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substance concerned has been assessed in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (8) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (9) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs or ARfD being exceeded.
(6) In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues resulting from unauthorised uses of plant protection products, provisional MRLs should be set for the relevant product/pesticide combinations at the lower limit of analytical determination.
(7) The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for the substances concerned in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI to that Directive. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRLs should then become definitive.
(8) It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC and 90/642/EEC, to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer.
(9) Directives 86/362/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Directive 86/362/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Directive.
Annex II to Directive 90/642/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish, by 5 April 2008 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 6 April 2008.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 13 January 2009
concerning the non-inclusion of flurprimidol in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2008) 8967)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/28/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I to that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes flurprimidol.
(3) For flurprimidol the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For flurprimidol the rapporteur Member State was Finland and all relevant information was submitted on 20 April 2007.
(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 31 July 2008 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance flurprimidol (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 September 2008 in the format of the Commission review report for flurprimidol.
(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns have been identified. In particular, based on the available information, the operator and worker exposure exceed the AOEL (acceptable operator exposure level) in all evaluated scenarios and conditions of use. Moreover, no data was available on the impurity profile of batches used in toxicological studies. Consequently, it was not possible to conclude on the basis of the information available that flurprimidol met the criteria for inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing flurprimidol satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Flurprimidol should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions must be laid down concerning the tariff classification of mixtures of peat (containing not less than 75 % turf by weight) and other substances such as lime, sand, rotted leaf mould, marl, farmyard manure and small quantities of other fertilizers, with a total content of potassium (calculated as K2O), nitrogen, phosphorus (calculated as P2O5) not exceeding 3 % by weight;
Whereas heading No 27.03 of the Common Customs Tariff refers to peat (including peat litter), whether or not agglomerated; whereas fertilizers other than those set out under headings No 31.01 to No 31.04 are referred to under heading No 31.05;
Whereas the goods in question, by virtue of their characteristics, cannot be regarded as goods falling within heading No 31.05;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the guide price for soya beans is fixed on an annual basis, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community and to ensure that supplies are available and reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 provides more specifically that this price shall be fixed at a fair level for producers, having regard to the supply requirements of the Community; whereas, to this end, a balanced relationship should be maintained between this price and the price of other oil seeds;
Whereas, in accordance with those criteria, the guide price should be set at the levels indicated below;
Whereas the guide price must be set for a standard quality to be determined by reference to the average quality of beans harvested in the Community; whereas the quality laid down for the 1987/88 marketing year meets this requirement and can accordingly be used for the next marketing year;
Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession, prices in Spain were set at levels differing from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, the Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices each year at the beginning of the marketing year; whereas the rules laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below,
For the 1988/89 marketing year, the guide price for soya beans shall be:
(a) 44,35 ECU per 100 kilograms for Spain;
(b) 55,85 ECU per 100 kilograms for the other Member States.
The price referred to in Article 1 shall relate to beans:
- in bulk, of sound, genuine, and merchantable quality, and - with an impurity content of 2 % and, for beans as such, humidity and oil contents of 14 % and 18 % respectively.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 September 1988.

of 28 July 2014
on a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 as regards the rules of origin under the scheme of generalised tariff preferences in respect of bicycles produced in Cambodia regarding the use under cumulation of bicycle parts originating in Malaysia
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), and in particular Article 89(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences from 1 January 2014, the Union granted generalised tariff preferences to Cambodia.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (4) establishes the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purpose of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences (‘GSP’). That Regulation provides for the possibility to grant, in certain precisely defined circumstances, derogations from that definition in favour of GSP beneficiary countries. The regional cumulation provisions under Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 were amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 530/2013, which clarified that regional cumulation can only apply in the same regional group to countries which, at the time of exportation to the Union, are beneficiaries of the GSP. These amendments by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 530/2013 apply from 1 January 2014.
(3) On 15 May 2013, Cambodia submitted a request for a transition period according to which the Cambodian bicycle industry would continue to be entitled, for the purpose of determining the origin of bicycles of HS heading 8712 Cambodia exports to the Union, to consider parts originating in Malaysia and Singapore as materials originating in Cambodia by virtue of regional cumulation under the GSP scheme as of 1 January 2014, the date the amended regional cumulation provisions apply.
(4) Cambodia has a growing bicycle industry, but the industry remains weak and has been relying heavily on the supply of parts originating in neighbouring countries that used to be GSP beneficiary countries and belonged to the same regional cumulation group, in particular Singapore and Malaysia.
(5) By letter of 9 August 2013 the Commission requested Cambodia to submit further information. On 26 September 2013 Cambodia transmitted its answer to that request, as a result of which its application was considered as complete.
(6) As of 1 January 2014, Singapore is no longer a GSP eligible nor GSP beneficiary country and thus the possibility of cumulation with the other countries of the regional cumulation Group I ceases to exist. As of 1 January 2014, Malaysia is no longer a GSP beneficiary country but remains on the list of GSP eligible countries.
(7) As a consequence, from 1 January 2014, bicycle parts originating in Singapore and Malaysia cannot be considered as originating in Cambodia under regional cumulation, which prevents Cambodia from meeting the rule of origin applicable to least-developed countries for this product (HS heading 8712). Indeed, even though that rule allows for the use of up to 70 % of non-originating materials, the share of non-originating materials in certain bicycles assembled in Cambodia would exceed that limit.
(8) Cambodia has presented in its submission to the Commission plans for encouraging bicycle part manufacturers to invest in the country over the next three years with a view to adapting its industry towards a greater independence in its supplies and the building-up of a local industry supplying originating materials for the manufacture of bicycles. Meanwhile, according to Cambodia, in order for the industry to remain viable in the short term, Cambodian manufacturers still need to rely on using bicycle parts under the rules on regional cumulation, for the purposes of exports to the Union under the GSP scheme.
(9) Therefore, Cambodia requests a three-year derogation to give it sufficient time to prepare itself to comply with the rules for the acquisition of origin.
(10) In the light of the explanations given by Cambodia, to allow it to genuinely consolidate a bicycle parts industry it is considered that an unlimited derogation is not necessary for Cambodia. A limitation of the quantities of bicycles originating in and exported from Cambodia under this derogation should thus be provided for, in the form of a quota whose quantities should decrease over the three years during which that derogation will be applicable. The quantities have been established on the basis of the models of bicycles for which the country needs the derogation for meeting the abovementioned 70 % threshold and should be managed in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(11) In order to allow efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, it is necessary to lay down the obligation for the authorities of Cambodia to communicate regularly to the Commission details of the certificates of origin Form A which have been issued within the framework of the derogation.
(12) The derogation should concern products of HS heading 8714 originating in Malaysia.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
1. By way of derogation from point (i) of Article 86(2)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, Cambodia shall be entitled to use parts of bicycles of HS heading 8714 originating in Malaysia in accordance with the rules of origin in Part I, title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, under cumulation of origin for the production of bicycles of HS heading 8712.
2. The proofs of origin for these parts shall be drawn up in the same way as provided for in Part I, title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to bicycles of HS heading 8712 exported from Cambodia and declared for release for free circulation in the Union during the period from 29 July 2014 until 31 December 2016, up to the quantities listed in the Annex.
The quantities set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
Box 4 of certificates of origin Form A issued by the competent authorities of Cambodia pursuant to this Regulation shall bear the following endorsements:
‘Derogation — Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 822/2014’
The competent authorities of Cambodia shall forward to the Commission, by the end of the month following each civil quarter, a quarterly statement of the quantities in respect of which certificates of origin Form A have been issued pursuant to this Regulation and the serial numbers of those certificates.
The competent authorities of Cambodia shall undertake to take all the necessary measures to ensure compliance with Articles 1 and 4 of this Regulation and to put in place and maintain any administrative structures and systems to ensure the correct implementation of this derogation and administrative cooperation, both with Malaysian authorities and Member States, as specified in Part I, title IV, Chapter 2, Section 1A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2332/92 (4) provides that Member States may exceptionally permit, until 31 December 1995, that the production process of quality sparkling wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr) may involve adding to the cuvée one or more wine-sector products which do not originate in the specified region whose name the wine bears; whereas that period has proved too short to allow operators in certain specified regions to adapt to the technical requirements laid down; whereas it should accordingly be extended; whereas, since this exception covers specific cases only, provision should be made for the names of those quality sparkling wines psr to be indicated in a list and published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities;
Whereas pursuant to Article 17 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2332/92 the Council may alter the duration of fermentation intended to make the cuvée sparkling and of presence on the less as set out in paragraph 2 of that Article in line with current scientific knowledge and technological progress;
Whereas, in the light of the experience gained regarding the various types of sparkling wines and according to the results of scientific research and technological progress to date, the fixing of different periods of fermentation and of presence of the cuvée on the lees for the various fermentation methods used is not warranted except where fermentation takes place in containers with stirrers; whereas accordingly, this is the only method which needs to be singled out,
Regulation (EEC) No 2332/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The second subparagraph of Article 4 (2) shall be replaced by the following:
'The addition of tirage liqueur may not cause an increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvée of more than 1,5 % vol. This increase shall be measured by calculating the difference between the total alcoholic strength by volume of the cuvée and the total alcoholic strength by volume of the sparkling wine before any expedition liqueur is added.`
2. Article 9 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 9
The tirage liqueur for sparkling wines may contain only:
- grape must,
- grape must in fermentation,
- concentrated grape must,
- rectified concentrated grape must
or
- sucrose and wine.`
3. In Article 14 (2):
(a) the introductory passage shall be replaced by the following:

Notwithstanding the first indent of paragraph 1, and without prejudice of Article 18, a producer Member State may, until 31 August 2003 at the latest, by means of express authorizations and subject to suitable controls, permit that a quality sparkling wine psr be obtained by adding to the basic product from which the wine is made one or more wine-sector products which do not originate in the specified region whose name the wine bears, provided that:`;
(b) the following subparagraph shall be inserted:
'The exception referred to in the first subparagraph shall be applicable provided that such an arrangement was allowed for by the provisions of the producer Member State concerned before 31 December 1995.
Member States shall draw up a list of the names of the quality sparkling wines psr referred to in this paragraph and shall forward it to the Commission, which shall publish it in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities.`
4. Article 15 (1) shall be replaced by the following:
'1. The tirage liqueur for quality sparkling wines may contain only:
- sucrose,
- concentrated grape must,
- rectified concentrated grape must,
and
- grape must or grape must in fermentation from which a wine suitable for yielding a table wine can be obtained,
- wine suitable for yielding a table wine,
- table wines,
or
- quality wines psr.
The tirage liqueur for quality sparkling wines psr may contain only:
- sucrose,
- concentrated grape must,
- rectified concentrated grape must,
and
- grape must,
- grape must in fermentation,
- wine,
- quality wine psr,
suitable for yielding the same quality sparkling wine psr as that to which the tirage liqueur is added.`
5. In Article 17:
(a) paragraph (2) shall be replaced by the following:
'2. The duration of the fermentation process designed to make the cuvée sparkling and the duration of the presence of the cuvée on the less shall not be lees than:
- 90 days,
- 30 days if the fermentation takes place in containers with stirrers.`;
(b) paragraph 3 shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products (2), and in particular Article 184 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 2014/492/EU authorised the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part (the Agreement) (3).

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 83 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68 of the Council of 19 July 1968 applying rules of competition to transport by rail, road and inland waterway (3) has been substantially amended several times (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) Rules of competition for transport by rail, road and inland waterway are part of the common transport policy and of general economic policy.
(3) Rules of competition for those sectors should take account of the distinctive features of transport.
(4) Since the rules of competition for transport derogate from the general rules of competition, it should be made possible for undertakings to ascertain what rules apply in any particular case.
(5) The system of rules on competition for transport should apply equally to the joint financing or acquisition of transport equipment for the joint operation of services by certain groupings of undertakings, and also to certain operations in connection with transport by rail, road or inland waterway of providers of services ancillary to transport.
(6) In order to ensure that trade between Member States is not affected or competition within the internal market distorted, it is necessary to prohibit in principle for the three modes of transport specified above all agreements between undertakings, decisions of associations of undertakings and concerted practices between undertakings and all instances of abuse of a dominant position within the internal market which could have such effects.
(7) Certain types of agreement, decision and concerted practice in the transport sector the object and effect of which is merely to apply technical improvements or to achieve technical cooperation may be exempted from the prohibition on restrictive agreements since they contribute to improving productivity. In the light of experience following application of this Regulation, the Council may, on a proposal from the Commission, amend the list of such types of agreement.
(8) In order that an improvement may be fostered in the sometimes too dispersed structure of the industry in the road and inland waterway sectors, exemption from the prohibition on restrictive agreements should also be granted in the case of those agreements, decisions and concerted practices providing for the creation and operation of groupings of undertakings in these two transport sectors whose object is the carrying on of transport operations, including the joint financing or acquisition of transport equipment for the joint operation of services. Such overall exemption can be granted only on condition that the total carrying capacity of a grouping does not exceed a fixed maximum, and that the individual capacity of undertakings belonging to the grouping does not exceed certain limits so fixed as to ensure that no one undertaking can hold a dominant position within the grouping. The Commission should, however, have power to intervene if, in specific cases, such agreements should have effects incompatible with the conditions under which a restrictive agreement may be recognised as lawful, and should constitute an abuse of the exemption. Nevertheless, the fact that a grouping has a total carrying capacity greater than the fixed maximum, or cannot claim the overall exemption because of the individual capacity of the undertakings belonging to the grouping, does not in itself prevent such a grouping from constituting a lawful agreement, decision or concerted practice if it satisfies the relevant conditions laid down in this Regulation.
(9) It is for the undertakings themselves, in the first instance, to judge whether the predominant effects of their agreements, decisions or concerted practices are the restriction of competition or the economic benefits acceptable as justification for such restriction and to decide accordingly, on their own responsibility, as to the illegality or legality of such agreements, decisions or concerted practices.
(10) Therefore, undertakings should be allowed to conclude or operate agreements without declaring them. This exposes such agreements to the risk of being declared void with retroactive effect should they be examined following a complaint or on the Commission’s own initiative, but does not prevent their being retroactively declared lawful in the event of such subsequent examination,
Scope
The provisions of this Regulation shall, in the field of transport by rail, road and inland waterway, apply both to all agreements, decisions and concerted practices which have as their object or effect the fixing of transport rates and conditions, the limitation or control of the supply of transport, the sharing of transport markets, the application of technical improvements or technical cooperation, or the joint financing or acquisition of transport equipment or supplies where such operations are directly related to the provision of transport services and are necessary for the joint operation of services by a grouping within the meaning of Article 3 of road or inland waterway transport undertakings, and to the abuse of a dominant position on the transport market. These provisions shall apply also to operations of providers of services ancillary to transport which have any of those objects or effects.
Exception for technical agreements
1. The prohibition in Article 81(1) of the Treaty shall not apply to agreements, decisions or concerted practices the object and effect of which is to apply technical improvements or to achieve technical cooperation by means of:
(a) the standardisation of equipment, transport supplies, vehicles or fixed installations;
(b) the exchange or pooling, for the purpose of operating transport services, of staff, equipment, vehicles or fixed installations;
(c) the organisation and execution of successive, complementary, substitute or combined transport operations, and the fixing and application of inclusive rates and conditions for such operations, including special competitive rates;
(d) the use, for journeys by a single mode of transport, of the routes which are most rational from the operational point of view;
(e) the coordination of transport timetables for connecting routes;
(f) the grouping of single consignments;
(g) the establishment of uniform rules as to the structure of tariffs and their conditions of application, provided such rules do not lay down transport rates and conditions.
2. The Commission shall, where appropriate, submit proposals to the Council with a view to extending or reducing the list in paragraph 1.
Exemption for groups of small and medium-sized undertakings
1. Agreements, decisions and concerted practices as referred to in Article 81(1) of the Treaty shall be exempt from the prohibition in that Article where their purpose is:
(a) the constitution and operation of groupings of road or inland waterway transport undertakings with a view to carrying on transport activities;
(b) the joint financing or acquisition of transport equipment or supplies, where these operations are directly related to the provision of transport services and are necessary for the joint operations of the aforesaid groupings;
always provided that the total carrying capacity of any grouping does not exceed:
(i) 10 000 metric tons in the case of road transport;
(ii) 500 000 metric tons in the case of transport by inland waterway.
The individual capacity of each undertaking belonging to a grouping shall not exceed 1 000 metric tons in the case of road transport or 50 000 metric tons in the case of transport by inland waterway.
2. If the implementation of any agreement, decision or concerted practice covered by paragraph 1 has, in a given case, effects which are incompatible with the requirements of Article 81(3) of the Treaty, undertakings or associations of undertakings may be required to make such effects cease.
Repeal
Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68, as amended by the Regulation listed in Annex I, Part A, is repealed, with the exception of Article 13(3), which continues to apply to decisions adopted pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68 prior to 1 May 2004 until the date of expiration of those decisions.
References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.
Entry into force, existing agreements
1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. The prohibition in Article 81(1) of the Treaty shall not apply to agreements, decisions and concerted practices which were in existence at the date of accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden or at the date of accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia and which, by reason of accession, fall within the scope of Article 81(1) of the Treaty if, within six months from the date of accession, they are so amended that they comply with the conditions laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation. This paragraph does not apply to agreements, decisions and concerted practices which at the date of accession already fall under Article 53(1) of the EEA Agreement.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1354/94 (4), lays down that crop declarations must be submitted by 30 November of each marketing year at the latest;
Whereas, for the purposes of improving the management of the system of production aid for olive oil, crop declarations for the 1994/95 marketing year in France include additional information, making it difficult to meet the deadline laid down for submission; whereas, therefore, as a special measure, French olive growers should be allowed to submit their crop declarations for the 1994/95 marketing year up until 15 January 1995;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84:

Whereas:
(1) Following unsatisfied demand within the Community, the competent authorities of Brazil requested that an additional quantity be made available for Brazil for category 2A for the quota year 2002.
(2) For the category concerned the quota has been used up and the flexibility provision specified in Annex VIII of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, as available in 2002, has already been fully utilised.
(3) A Memorandum of Understanding of market access in textile products, which provides, inter alia, for the suspension of the application by the European Union of the quotas in textile and clothing products from the Federative Republic of Brazil, has been initialled on 8 August 2002. The Commission has made a proposal for the provisional application of this Memorandum of Understanding(3), and accordingly such quantitative restrictions are due to cease to apply still in 2002.
(4) The quantities in question, in relation to total imports of these products into the European Community, are unlikely to cause any market disruption.
(5) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances.
(6) It is desirable for this Regulation to enter into force on the day after its publication in order to allow operators to benefit from it as soon as possible.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
The quantitative limit for textile goods in category 2A originating in the Federative Republic of Brazil is increased for quota year 2002 by 1000 tons.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to the quota year 2002.

(2) As a result of the accession of new Member States to the European Union on 1 May 2004, there is a need to extend Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003, since that Annex sets out for each Member State the minimum effective sample sizes required under the EU-SILC scheme.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3060/95 of 22 December 1995 on the arrangements for imports of certain textile products originating in Taiwan (1) applies until 31 December 1998;
Whereas these arrangements should be maintained beyond that date pending Taiwan's accession to the World Trade Organisation;
Whereas, in order, inter alia, to ensure compliance with the objectives of this Regulation, the release for free circulation of the products in question should be made subject to import authorisation on presentation of an export document issued in Taiwan by a body affording all the necessary guarantees;
Whereas it is necessary to provide that neither handicraft or traditional folklore products, for which an appropriate certification system will be devised, nor products introduced into the customs territory of the Community under the inward processing rules or under other temporary admission rules and re-exported from that territory in the same state or after processing are to be set off against the abovementioned quantitative limits;
Whereas provision should be made for introducing, where certain conditions are fulfilled, quantitative limits on textile products which are included in the import arrangements applicable to Taiwan but for which no quantitative limit has been fixed;
Whereas it should be possible, where it is found that products originating in Taiwan and subject to this Regulation have been imported into the Community in an attempt to evade the provisions of this Regulation, to deduct the quantity of goods concerned from the appropriate quantitative limits established pursuant to this Regulation;
Whereas it should be possible to introduce specific quantitative limits for products obtained under the outward processing relief arrangements;
Whereas the import arrangements in force at present expire on 31 December 1998; whereas it is necessary to provide for transitional arrangements in respect of products shipped before 1 January 1999,
1. From 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2001 importation into the Community of the textile products falling within the categories listed in Annex I shall be governed by the provisions of this Regulation.

7. The definition of quantitative limits laid down in Annex II and of the categories of products to which they apply shall be adapted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9, where this proves necessary to ensure that any subsequent amendment to the combined nomenclature or a decision amending the classification of such products does not result in a reduction of such quantitative limits.

3. The limits referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be introduced in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 9.
4. The provisions for the administration of the quantitative limits laid down in Articles 2, 4, and Articles 6 to 8 of this Regulation, shall apply to quantitative limits established pursuant to this Article, save for any different provisions adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 9.
1. According to the procedure envisaged in Article 9, imports in excess of the quantitative limits laid down in Article 2, may be authorised either by carrying over unused quantities from the quantitative limits of the preceding year or by advance drawing on the quantitative limits for the following year, provided that such carry-over and advance drawing does not exceed respectively 7 % and 5 % of the quantitative limit to be increased.

Where the Commission finds that products originating in Taiwan which are subject to quantitative limits established pursuant to this Regulation have been transhipped, rerouted or otherwise imported into the Community in circumvention of this Regulation and where there is clear proof of such circumvention, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9, amounts shall be deducted from the quantitative limits established pursuant to this Regulation equivalent to the amount of the products concerned originating in Taiwan.
Specific limits for products resulting from economic outward processing operations fulfilling the conditions set out in Regulation (EC) No 3036/94 (3) may be established, in accordance with the procedure described in Article 9, in respect of the products listed in Annex II or subject to quantitative limits pursuant to Article 3.
Products referred to in Article 1 which are brought into the customs territory of the Community under inward processing arrangements or under other temporary admission arrangements and re-exported from that territory in an unaltered state or after processing shall not be charged against the quantitative limits referred to in Articles 2 and 3.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8, point 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(4)(c) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1), 24(2) and 25(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (3) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, including storage during transit, through the Union of poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’). It provides that the commodities may only be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the conditions for a third country, territory, zone or compartment to be considered as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
(3) The United States is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports into and transit through the Union of the commodities are authorised from the whole of its territory.
(4) An Agreement between the Union and the United States (4) provides for a swift mutual recognition of regionalisation measures in the event of outbreaks of a disease in the Union or in the United States (‘the Agreement’).
(5) On 19 December 2014, the United States confirmed the presence of HPAI of subtype H5N8 in a poultry holding in Douglas County in the State of Oregon and on 3 January 2015 HPAI of subtype H5N2 in a poultry holding in the State of Washington. The whole territory of that third country may therefore no longer be considered as being free from that disease. The veterinary authorities of the United States immediately suspended issuing veterinary certificates from the whole of its territory for consignments of poultry commodities intended for import into and transit through the Union. The United States has also implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control HPAI and limit its spread.
(6) The United States has submitted information on the epidemiological situation on its territory and the measures it has taken to prevent the further spread of HPAI which has now been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation, as well as the commitments laid down in the Agreement and the guarantees provided by the United States, it is appropriate to conclude that limiting the restrictions on the introduction into the Union of commodities to the HPAI affected area in the State of Oregon and to the entire State of Washington, which the veterinary authorities of the United States have placed under restrictions due to the current outbreaks, should be sufficient to cover the risks associated with the introduction into the Union of the commodities. The entry for the United States in the list in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended to take account of the regionalisation of that third country due to the current outbreaks of HPAI.
(7) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 30 October 2003
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(4) to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d)(f)(g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 October 2003.
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 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof;
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 8(5) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules and in particular Article 48(1) and the first subparagraph of Article 63(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 97/78/EC provides that veterinary checks on products from third countries introduced into the Union are to be carried out by Member States in accordance with that Directive and with Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down general rules for the performance of official controls to verify compliance with rules aiming, in particular, at preventing, eliminating or reducing to acceptable levels risks to humans and animals, either directly or through the environment.
(3) Directive 2002/99/EC lays down the general animal health rules governing all stages of the production, processing and distribution within the Union and the introduction from third countries of products of animal origin and products obtained intended for human consumption.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. Article 6(4) of that Regulation provides that food business operators importing food containing both products of plant origin and processed products of animal origin (composite products) are to ensure that the processed products of animal origin contained in such food satisfy certain public health requirements laid down therein. In addition, Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 provides that food business operators must be able to demonstrate that they have done so, for example through appropriate documentation or certification.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 applies from 1 January 2006. However, the application of a number of measures laid down therein with immediate effect from that date would have presented practical difficulties in certain cases.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 (6) therefore provided that, by way of derogation from Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, food business operators importing food containing composite products were to be exempt from the obligation provided for in that Article.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 of 30 November 2009 laying down transitional measures for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) repealed and replaced Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005. Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 contains the same derogation from Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 as did Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005.
(8) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 provides that imports of composite products are to comply with the harmonised Union rules, where applicable, and with the national rules implemented by the Member States in other cases.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 applies until 31 December 2013.
(10) Commission Decision 2007/275/EC of 17 April 2007 concerning lists of animals and products to be subject to controls at border inspection posts under Council Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC (8) provides that certain composite products are to be subject to veterinary checks, when imported into the Union. Pursuant to that Decision, the composite products subjected to veterinary checks are all those containing processed meat products, those containing half or more of their substance of any one processed product of animal origin other than processed meat products and those containing no processed meat products and less than half of their substance of processed milk product where the final products do not meet certain requirements laid down in Decision 2007/275/EC.
(11) In addition, Decision 2007/275/EC lays down certain certification requirements regarding the composite products subject to veterinary checks. It provides that composite products containing processed meat products are to be accompanied at introduction into the Union by the relevant certificate for meat products laid down in Union legislation. Composite products containing processed milk products, which are to be subjected to veterinary checks, are to be accompanied at introduction into the Union by the relevant certificate laid down in Union legislation. In addition, composite products containing only processed fishery or egg products which are to be subjected to veterinary checks are to be accompanied at introduction into the Union by the relevant certificate laid down in Union legislation or a commercial document where there is no certificate so required.
(12) The composite products subjected to veterinary checks pursuant to Decision 2007/275/EC are, by their very nature, the ones that may present also a higher public health risk. The levels of potential public health risk vary depending on the product of animal origin which is included in the composite product, the percentage in which that product of animal origin is present in the composite product and the treatments applied to it as well as the shelf stability of the composite product.
(13) It is therefore appropriate that the public health requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 apply to those composite products even before the expiry of the derogation provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009.
(14) In particular, the certification of compliance with public health requirements as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 should be provided for in this Regulation for the importation of the composite products containing processed meat products, of those composite products containing half or more of their substance of milk products or of processed fishery or egg products and of those composite products containing no processed meat products and less than half of their substance of processed milk products where the final products are not shelf-stable at ambient temperature or where they have not clearly undergone in their manufacture a complete cooking or heat treatment process throughout their substance, so that any raw product is not denatured.
(15) As a consequence, the derogation laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 should no longer apply for those composite products.
(16) The animal health requirements concerning those composite products are already laid down in Union legislation. Pursuant to those requirements, those composite products should in particular only be imported from approved third countries.
(17) A specific model health certificate attesting that such composite products imported into the Union comply with those public and animal health requirements should be laid down in this Regulation. As a consequence, the certification requirements laid down in Decision 2007/275/EC should no longer apply for those composite products.
(18) For the other composite products containing half or more of their substance of products of animal origin other than milk products or fishery or egg products, the certification requirements laid down in Decision 2007/275/EC should continue to apply. However, for reasons of simplification and clarity of Union legislation, it is appropriate to include those certification requirements in this Regulation, so that the main rules on the certification of composite products be laid down in only one act.
(19) Decision 2007/275/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1162/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(20) Due to animal health reasons, a certificate and specific conditions for transit via the Union should be provided for. However these conditions should be applicable only to composite products containing processed meat products or processed dairy products.
(21) Specific conditions for transit via the Union of consignments to and from Russia should be provided for, owing to the geographical situation of Kaliningrad, which only concerns Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
(22) To avoid any disruption of trade, the use of certificates issued in accordance with Decision 2007/275/EC prior to the date of application of this Regulation should be authorised for a transitional period.
(23) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Subject matter

Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 20 September 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a portable seismograph ; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it is currently in use, particularly in petrol and mining exploration ; 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,
The apparatus described as "Bison automatic signal enhancement seismograph, model 1575 B" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

This scheme expires on 31 December 2001, unless a new proposal is presented by the Commission.
(2) Article 299(2) of the Treaty recognises the particular handicaps affecting the structural social and economic situation of the outermost regions, made worse by their remoteness and insularity. This is also the case for the fisheries sector.
(3) The Commission, in its report to the European Parliament and to the Council of 14 March 2000, undertook to propose, where appropriate, adjustments to be made to the measures in force after carrying out an evaluation of the scheme.
(4) A detailed evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the special measures adopted for the fisheries sector in the outermost regions is needed in order to submit the report provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1587/98. It is not possible to carry out the evaluation by 1 June 2001, as required under that Article.
(5) After carrying out the above evaluation, and as part of the debate on the future of the common fisheries policy, the Commission will submit a report to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on the implementation of the measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1587/98 together, if appropriate, with a new proposal.
(6) The Commission should be able to adjust the quantities set for the various species to take account of changes in marketing conditions and characteristics.
(7) The scheme should be extended for one year, to ensure the continuity of the legal framework of the scheme to compensate for additional costs,
Regulation (EC) No 1587/98 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2(6) shall be replaced by the following: "6.

(2) The German authorities have notified the Commission that they wish to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty from 1 April 1999 to heating fuel used by manufacturing industries;
(3) The other Member States have been informed thereof;
(4) The Commission and all the Member States consider that the application of differentiated rate of excise duty to heating fuel used by manufacturing industries is justified on environmental policy grounds as a result of environmental tax reforms and that it will not give rise to distortions of competition or hinder the operation of the internal market;
(5) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they are compatible with the operation of the internal market or with Community policy on protection of the environment;
(6) The Federal Republic of Germany has requested authorisation to apply differentiated rate of excise duty to heating fuel used by manufacturing industries from 1 April 1999; the Council is to review its application on the basis of a report from the Commission no later than 31 December 1999, when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,

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 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 21,509 EUR/100 kg.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 32/2000 of 17 December 1999 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas bound in GATT and certain other Community tariff quotas and establishing detailed rules for adjusting the quotas, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1808/95(1), and in particular the second indent of Article 9(1)(b),
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the offer it made within the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) and alongside its scheme of generalised preferences (GSP), the Community introduced tariff preferences in 1971 for jute and coconut-fibre products originating in certain developing countries; these preferences took the form of a gradual reduction of Common Customs Tariff duties and, from 1978 to 31 December 1994, the complete suspension of these duties.
(2) Since the entry into force of the new GSP scheme on 1 January 1995, the Community has, alongside the GATT, opened autonomous zero-duty Community tariff quotas for specific quantities of jute and coconut-fibre products until 31 December 2001 by Council Regulation (EC) No 764/96(2), as amended by Regulations (EC) No 1401/98(3) and (EC) No 32/2000. Since the GSP scheme will be extended until 31 December 2004 by a Council Regulation, the arrangement for jute and coconut-fibre products should also be extended until 31 December 2004.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The phrase, for serial numbers 09.0107, 09.0109 and 09.0111, in the fifth column ("Quota period") of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 32/2000, "from 1.1.2000 to 31.12.2000 and from 1.1.2001 to 31.12.2001" shall be replaced by the phrase "from 1.1.2002 to 31.12.2002, from 1.1.2003 to 31.12.2003 and from 1.1.2004 to 31.12.2004".

of 7 February 2014
concerning the authorisation of L-selenomethionine as a feed additive for all animal species
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of L-selenomethionine. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of L-selenomethionine, an organic compound of selenium, as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 2 May 2013 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-selenomethionine does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that its use may be considered as an efficient source of selenium for all animal species. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of L-selenomethionine shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The Authority concluded that the limitation of the supplementation with organic selenium established for other organic compounds of selenium should also apply to L-selenomethionine. Furthermore, in case different compounds of selenium are added to the feed, the supplementation with organic selenium should not exceed 0,2 mg per kg complete feed.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 338/86
of 14 February 1986
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of roller chains for cycles originating in the People's Republic of China and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on those imports
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, as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional action
1. The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2317/85 (2) imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of roller chains for cycles originating in the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.
B. Subsequent procedure
2. Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, a Chinese exporter representing a significant percentage of the trade involved requested the extension of the period of validity of the provisional anti-dumping duty for a further period of two months, which was granted by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3521/85 (3).
C. Dumping
3. No new evidence on dumping has been submitted by the Chinese exporters since the imposition of the provisional duty. The findings on dumping for the People's Republic of China as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 2317/85 should therefore be confirmed.
D. Injury
4. As no fresh evidence regarding injury to the Community industry was received and in particular no evidence was submitted that imports from other non-member countries have been sold at lower prices than those from the People's Republic of China or have been dumped, the findings on injury reached in Regulation (EEC) No 2317/85 should therefore be confirmed.
E. Community interest
5. No new evidence has been submitted by Community consumers since the extension of the provisional anti-dumping duty. The findings on Community interest as set out in Regulation 2317/85 should remain, therefore, unchanged.
F. Undertaking
6. The Chinese exporters concerned were informed that the main findings of the preliminary investigation had been confirmed. An undertaking was subsequently offered by one of the exporters which the Commission considered would eliminate the injury found and which was, therefore, considered acceptable.
G. Definitive duty
7. In the light of the above findings, the amount of the definitive anti-dumping duty for the exports not subject to the abovementioned undertaking should, in principle, be the same as the amount of the provisional anti-dumping duty. However, since the investigation with regard to the USSR exporter and one of the Chinese exporters resulted in the acceptance of a price undertaking and in order to ensure an equitable treatment of imports at different prices it is considered appropriate to impose on the product originating in the People's Republic of China a variable anti-dumping duty based on a minimum price with effect similar to the effect of the ad-valorem duty provisionally imposed. It would be sufficient to eliminate the injury if the amount of the duty corresponded to the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, is less than 0,56 ECU per metre.
H. Collection of provisional duties
8. The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of roller chains for cycles originating in the People's Republic of China should be definitively collected in full.
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of 1/2 in Ă 1/8 in roller chains for cycles falling within heading No ex 73.29 of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 73.29-11, originating in the People's Republic of China.
2. The duty shall not apply to 1 / 2 in Ă 1 / 8 in roller chains for cycles exported to the Community by China National Light Industrial Products Import and Export Corporation, Beijing.
3. The duty shall be equal to the amount by which the free-at-Community-frontier net price per metre, before duty, is less than 0,56 ECU.
The free-at-Community-frontier prices shall be net prices where the conditions of sale are such that payment is to be made within 30 days from the date of delivery; they shall be increased or reduced by 1 % for each month by which this period is shortened or lengthened.
4. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2317/85 on imports of roller chains for cycles originating in the People's Republic of China shall be definitively collected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses(1), as amended by Directive 96/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee for Food,
(1) Whereas Article 6 of Commission Directive 91/321/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 96/4/EC(4), provides that infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children and that necessary maximum levels for such substances shall be established without delay;
(2) Whereas different regulations on the maximum levels of pesticide residues in such products cause trade barriers between certain Member States;
(3) Whereas maximum levels for pesticide residues stipulated in Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and vegetables(5), as last amended by Directive 97/41/EC(6), 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(7), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/82/EC(8), 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(9), as last amended by Directive 98/82/EC, and 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(10), as last amended by Directive 98/82/EC, are without prejudice to specific provisions applicable to infant formulae and follow-on formulae;
(4) Whereas, taking into account the Community's international obligations, in cases where the relevant scientific evidence is insufficient, the precautionary principle allows the Community to provisionally adopt measures on the basis of available pertinent information, pending an additional assessment of risk and a review of the measure within a reasonable period of time;
(5) Whereas on the basis of the two opinions given by the Scientific Committee for Food on 19 September 1997 and 4 June 1998 there are at present doubts as to the adequacy of existing acceptable daily intake values (ADI) for the protection of the health of infants and young children; whereas the doubts expressed concern not only pesticides and pesticide residues, but also dangerous chemical substances, and consequently the Commission will examine the possibility of fixing, as soon as possible, maximum levels for heavy metals in foods intended for infants and young children;
(6) Whereas, therefore, as far as foods for particular nutritional uses intended for infants and young children are concerned, it is appropriate to adopt a very low common limit for all pesticides;
(7) Whereas this very low common limit should be fixed at 0,01 mg/kg which is in practice the minimum detectable level;
(8) Whereas severe limitations on pesticide residues should be required; whereas, with careful selection of raw materials, and given that infant formulae and follow-on formulae undergo extensive processing during their manufacture, it is feasible to produce products containing very low levels of pesticide residues;
(9) Whereas, however, for a small number of pesticides even such low levels might allow the possibility that under worst-case intake conditions the ADI of these pesticides is exceeded; whereas, therefore, infant formulae and follow-on formulae should be free of those particular pesticides and should be produced without the use of such pesticides;
(10) Whereas this Directive reflects current knowledge about these substances; whereas any amendment, based on scientific or technical progress, will be decided by the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 89/398/EEC;
(11) Whereas Directive 91/321/EEC should be amended accordingly;
(12) Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Directive 91/321/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the following point (e) is added to Article l(2):
"(e) 'pesticide residue' means the residue in infant formulae and follow-on formulae of a plant protection product, as defined in point 1 of Article 2 of Council Directive 91/414/EEC(11), including its metabolites and products resulting from its degradation or reaction;
2. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
"Article 6
1. Infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain any substance in such quantity as to endanger the health of infants and young children. Necessary maximum levels shall be established without delay.
2. Infant formulae and follow-on formulae shall not contain residues of individual pesticides at levels exceeding 0,01 mg/kg of the product as proposed ready for consumption or as reconstituted according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
Analytical methods for determining the levels of pesticide residues shall be generally acceptable standardised methods.
3. Those pesticides listed in Annex IX shall not be used in agricultural products intended for the production of infant formulae and follow-on formulae.
4. Microbiological criteria shall be established as necessary.";
3. the following is added as Annex IX:
"ANNEX IX
Pesticides which shall not be used in agricultural products intended for the production of infant formulae and follow-on formulae
Chemical name of the substance

After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission, acting on behalf of the European Union, concluded multiannual financing agreements (MAFAs) laying down the technical, legal and administrative framework for the execution of the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard) with Romania.
(2) Article 11 of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs provides for the adoption of a clearance of accounts Decision by the Commission. That provision continues to apply to Romania, by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 248/2007.
(3) The time limits granted to the recipient countries for the submission to the Commission of the requisite documents have expired.
(4) Commission Decision C(2008) 5524 of 30 September 2008 cleared the accounts of Bulgaria and Croatia. However, pending the review of supplementary information which had been requested from Romania, the decision concerning the accounts of this country could not be adopted at that stage.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3438/92 of 23 November 1992 laying down special measures for the transport of certain fresh fruit and vegetables originating in Greece (1),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3438/92 introduces a special temporary allowance in 1992 and 1993 for consignments transported by refrigerated lorry, vessel or wagon from Greece to Member States other than Italy, Spain or Portugal of fresh fruit and vegetables as referred to in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 638/93 (3);

Whereas for a certain number of applications for payment of the allowance relating to consignments in 1992 or 1993 that time limit was not sufficient to enable the competent Greek authorities to ensure that the necessary checks were carried out; whereas, therefore, the time limit should be extended;

Whereas, by letter dated 7 December 1982, the United Kingdom 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 'ADC - Infra Red Detector System, model 403L', ordered on 21 January 1982 and intended to be used for the detection and measurement of unstable species which emit in the near infra-red, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 30 May 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a detector; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value, capable of use for the same purpose, is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'ADC - Infra Red Detector System, model 403L', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 7 December 1982, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
