THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The Luxembourg Government submitted to the Commission on 13 December 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the areas fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the areas of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex-ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. The priorities are as follows:
1. promoting the development of the local potential of the regions;
2. integrating wasteland into a sustainable programme of economic and spatial development and improving rundown populated areas;
3. promoting research, technological progress and innovation;
4. promoting the protection of the natural environmental;
5. technical assistance for the programme;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, and indicating separately the funding planned for the areas receiving transitional support in respect of Objective 2 and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document, the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex-ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the single programming document.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 172417267 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 41000000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 94026666 from the public sector and EUR 37390601 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the ERDF granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 41000000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the ERDF for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The total Community contribution (EUR 41000000) shall come from the ERDF.
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, or by up to EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 13 December 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 7 December 1993 on the Community's financial contribution to programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in Madeira for 1993 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (93/674/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the Azores and Madeira (1), as last amended by the Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1974/93 (2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision 93/522/EEC (3) defines what measures are eligible for Community financing as regards programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira;
Whereas agricultural production conditions in Madeira call for particular attention, and action must be taken or reinforced as regards crop production, in particular the phytosanitary aspects for this region;
Whereas the action to be taken or reinforced on the phytosanitary side is particularly costly;
Whereas the programme of action is to be presented to the Commission by the relevant Portuguese authorities; whereas this programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost so that the Community may contribute to financing them;
Whereas the Community's financial contribution may cover up to 75 % of eligible expenditure, protective measures for bananas excluded;
Whereas the technical information provided by Portugal has enabled the Standing Committee on Plant Health to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The Community's financial contribution to the official programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products on the Island of Madeira presented for 1993 by the relevant Portuguese authorities is hereby approved.
The official programme is made up of three sub-programmes:
1. A sub-programme for the autocidal control of the fruit fly (ceratitis capitata Wied);
2. A sub-programme for the control of the white citrus fly (aleurothrixus floccosus Maskell);
3. A sub-programme for the control of trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood.
The programme covers the 1993 period and forms part of a larger programme, spread over several years, of specific phytosanitary measures for Madeira.
The Community contribution to financing the programme is limited to 75 % maximum of expenditure on eligible measures as defined by Commission Decision 93/522/EEC, and is set for 1993 at ECU 1 500 000 out of total expenditure of ECU 2 000 000 (VAT excluded).
The schedule of programme costs and their financing is set out as Annex I to this Decision. If the total eligible expenditure for 1993 presented by Portugal was less than the forecast amount of ECU 2 000 000, the Community's contribution would be reduced in proportion.
The Community will reimburse up to the amount specified in the first paragraph, at the financial rate of the ecu on 1 August 1993, i.e. ECU 1 = Esc 198,230.
An advance of ECU 900 000, amounting to 60 % of the Community contribution, shall be paid to the Member State.
The Community assistance shall be for expenditure on eligible measures in connection with operations covered by the programme concerning which provisions have been enacted in Portugal for which the necessary financial resources have been specifically committed at the latest during a period running from a date six months before the date of notification of this Decision and ending on 31 December 1993. On pain of loss of entitlement to Community financing, Portugal shall stop payments in connection with those operations by 1 August 1994 at the latest.
Specific provisions relating to the financing of the programme, provisions on compliance with Community policies and the information to be provided to the Commission by the Member State are set out in Annex II.
Public contracts in connection with investments covered by this Decision must be awarded in compliance with Community law, in particular the Directives coordinating procedures for awarding public works and supply contracts, and Articles 30, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products,
Whereas:
(1) The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) concluded in its opinion of 20 June 2006 that ‘Although 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is presently permitted and used as a sunscreen, it became apparent in the process of evaluation of the dossier that much of the information did not conform to current standards and guidelines’. In order to carry out a proper risk assessment of 4-aminobenzoic acid the SCCP required a new dossier with additional safety data conform to modern standards and SCCP guidelines to be submitted by the cosmetics industry before 1 July 2007.
(2) The cosmetics industry did not submit any additional safety data as requested by the SCCP in its opinion of 20 June 2006.
(3) Without a proper risk assessment 4-aminobenzoic acid can not be considered safe for use as a UV-filter in cosmetics and should therefore be deleted from Annex VII and listed in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC.
(4) Regarding Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (INCI), the SCCP concluded in its opinion of 15 April 2008 that the use of this substance at a maximum concentration of 10 % in cosmetic products, including sunscreen products, does not pose a risk to the consumer. In order to extend the scope of the allowed use of this substance column ‘c’ of entry 28 should be amended in Annex VII to Directive 76/768/EEC.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
Annexes II and VII to Directive 76/768/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 8 July 2009 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.
They shall apply the provisions set out in point 3 of the Annex to this Directive from 8 July 2009.
They shall apply the provisions set out in points 1 and 2 of the Annex to this Directive from 8 October 2009.

Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund. Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1052/2002(4), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(2) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account should be taken, where necessary, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex A to that Regulation or to assimilated products.
(4) Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 635/2002(6), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO’ Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 143 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The representative prices and additional duties applicable to imports of white sugar, raw sugar and certain syrups have been fixed for the 2012/2013 marketing year by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 892/2012 (2).
(2) Article 141(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishes that additional import duties are not be imposed where the imports are unlikely to disturb the Community market, or where the effects would be disproportionate to the intended objective.
(3) For a significant period of time, sugar prices in the Union market have been far above the reference price and, based on current market forecast, it is not expected that the world market price of sugar would be reduced to such levels that, taking into account the current import tariff, the imports of sugar would disturb the EU sugar market in the absence of additional duties. Under these circumstances of relatively high world market prices, imports of sugar products covered by Article 36(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (3) are not likely to disturb the Union market and consequently no additional duties on these imports should be imposed. Taking into account the fundamentals of the world and Union sugar markets, this situation is unlikely to change significantly for the next two marketing years, i.e. till the end of the Union quota regime.The Commission monitors constantly the sugar market and shall take any appropriate measures if necessary.
(4) As long as additional duties are not imposed, there is no need to fix the representative prices which are used to calculate them.
(5) It is then appropriate to derogate from the application of Article 36 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 until the end of the marketing year 2014/2015.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2358/87
of 31 July 1987
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for herring, fresh or chilled, falling within subheading ex 03.01 B I a) 2 aa) of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in Sweden
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden was concluded on 22 July 1972; whereas, following the accession of Spain and Portugal, an Agreement in the form of Exchange of Letters was concluded between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden on the Agricultural and Fisheries sector; whereas this Agreement was adopted by Decision 86/558/EEC (1);
Whereas this Agreement provides for the opening, over a period to be determined by common accord, of a 20 000 tonnes duty free Community tariff quota for herring, fresh or chilled, whole, headless or in pieces, originating in Sweden; whereas, therefore, the tariff quota in question should be opened for the period 15 September 1987 to 14 February 1987 and allocated among the Member States;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of levy for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is used up; whereas, in the light of the principles outlined above, a Community tariff arrangement based on an allocation between the Member States would seem to preserve the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to represent as closely as possible the actual development of the market in the said goods, the allocation should follow proportionately the requirements calculated both from statistics of imports from Sweden during a representative reference period and according to the economic outlook for the tariff year in question;
Whereas, during the last three years for which statistics are available, imports of this type of fish, originating in Sweden, into each of the Member States were as follows (in tonnes):
(tonnes)
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Member State // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // // // // // Benelux // 1 093 // 310 // 58 // Denmark // 37 900 // 30 783 // 25 045 // Germany // 2 822 // 1 563 // 1 460 // Spain // 0 // 0 // 0 // Greece // 0 // 0 // 0 // France // 3 // 0 // 0 // Ireland // 16 // 0 // 0 // Italy // 0 // 0 // 0 // Portugal // 0 // 0 // 0 // United Kingdom // 0 // 0 // 0 // // // // // // 41 834 // 32 656 // 26 563 // // // //
Whereas, during the last years under consideration, the products in question were imported only by certain Member States and not at all by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, initial shares should be allocated to the importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quota upon imports into those States of the products concerned being notified; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, taking into account these factors and the forecasts made by certain Member States, the initial percentage shares in the quota volume can be set approximately as follows:
1.2 // Member State // // Benelux // 1,45 // Denmark
(1) OJ No L 328, 22. 11. 1986, p. 89.
Whereas, in order to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota volume should be divided into two instalments, the first being shared among certain Member States and the second constituting a reserve to cover the subsequent requirements of these Member States where they have used up their initial share and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, in order to give importers in each Member State a certain degree of security, it is appropriate to fix the first instalment of the Community quota at a level which, in the circumstances, could be 67 % of the quota volume;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost used up, a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, at a given date in the quota period, a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential that such State should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve, in order to prevent a part of the Community tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation relating to the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
1. From 15 September 1987 to 14 February 1988 the Common Customs Tariff duty on the following products shall be suspended at the level and within the limit of the Community tariff quota as shown herewith:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Description // Amount of tariff quota (tonnes) // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // 09.0616 // 03.01 // Fish, fresh (live or dead), chilled or frozen // // // // // B. Saltwater fish: // // // // // I. Whole, headless or in pieces: // // // // // a) Herring: // // // // // 2. From 16 June to 14 February: // // // // // aa) Fresh or chilled originating in Sweden // 20 000 // 0 (a) // // // // //
(a) However, when those products are imported into Portugal the duty applicable shall be 11,3 % in 1987 and 9,4 % in 1988 within the limit of the quota-shares for which this Member State is eligible.
2. Imports of the products in question shall not benefit from the tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier prices, which are determined by the Member States according to Article 21 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3655/84 (2), are at least equal to the reference prices if such prices have been fixed or are to be fixed by the Community for the product under consideration or the categories of the products concerned. For the calculation of the reference price the following coefficients shall be applicable:
- whole herring: 1,
- flaps of herring: 2,32,
- pieces of herring: 1,96.
3. The protocol on the definition of the concept of originating products and on methods of administrative cooperation, annexed to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Sweden, shall be applicable.
1. The tariff quota laid down in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment of this quota, amounting to 13 400 tonnes, shall be shared among certain Member States; the respective shares, which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid until 14 February 1988, shall be as follows:
1.2 // Member States // (in tonnes) // Benelux // 194 // Denmark // 12 428 // Germany // 775 // France // 3
3. The second instalment of the quota, being 6 600 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
4. If an importer notifies the imminent import of the products in question into a Member State that does not participate in the initial allocation and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (2), or of that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 5, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 14 February 1988.
Member State shall, not later than 15 January 1988, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 1 January 1988 is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 15 January 1988, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the product in question imported up to and including 1 January 1988 and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the information reaches it, inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 20 January 1988, inform the Member States of the amount still in reserve, following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that importations may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. The Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. The Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as and when the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

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 Article 8(1), and Article 8(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (2) lays down the veterinary certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of live animals or fresh meat. It also lays down the lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which those consignments may be introduced into the Union.
(2) Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 provides that consignments of fresh meat intended for human consumption are to be imported into the Union only if they come from the third countries, territories or parts thereof listed in Part 1 of Annex II to that Regulation for which there is a model veterinary certificate corresponding to the consignment concerned listed in that Part.
(3) On 25 February 2011, South Africa notified the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) of outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease. In the absence of clinical signs, the outbreaks were confirmed on 11 February 2011 based on serology.
(4) According to the notification, the outbreaks were detected in two neighbouring districts in the north-eastern part of the KwaZulu-Natal province. These districts are part of the territories of South Africa from which export into the Union of fresh de-boned and matured meat from ungulates are authorised. Those territories are set out in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010.
(5) Due to the risk of introduction of foot-and-mouth disease through import into the Union of fresh meat from species susceptible to that disease and in absence of guarantees allowing for regionalisation of South Africa, the authorisation to export such fresh meat into the Union should no longer apply. The entry for South Africa in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should be amended accordingly.
(6) Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, the entry for South Africa is replaced by the following:
‘ZA – South Africa ZA-0 Whole country EQU, EQW

of 27 July 1990
on protective measures applicable to imports of frozen strowberries, frozen raspberries, provisionally preserved strowberries and provisionally preserved raspberries originating in Poland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) no 1202/90 (2), and in particular Article 18 (2) thereof,
Whereas the marketing of frozen strowberries, frozen raspberries, provisionally preserved strowberries and provisionally preserved raspberries is characterized by competition from third countries at prices significantly below the prices at which Community products can be marketed; whereas there is a failure to comply with the price levels agreed with the main supplier third countries for the 1989/86 marketing year; whereas imports in 1989 and the first six months of 1990 were significantly higher than the average for the last three years;
Whereas in these circumstances the Community market is exposed to serious disturbances which might endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty; whereas it is therefore necessary to apply protective measures;
Whereas the aim of the protective measures should be to exclude the marketing of imported products at abnormally low prices;
Whereas, taking account of the criteria set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 521/77 of 14 March 1977 laying down detailed rules for applying protective measures in the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (3), this objective can be achieved by introducing minimum import prices to be respected on import into the Community and by applying countervailing charges on products which do not respect those prices;
Whereas the level of the minimum prices should be set talking account of the prices previously agreed with the country in question and the quality and presentated of the products concerned;
Whereas the minimum import prices may be undercut due to events which are not a consequence of prices applied by third countries, e.g. fluctuation of exchange rates; whereas that fact should be taken into consideration when countervailing charges are fixed;
Whereas countervailing charges should not be levied in respect of products coming from third countries which are prepared and in a position to guarantee the prices of products exported by them and that any deflections of trade will be avoided;
Whereas account should be taken of the special situation of products which have already left the exporting counry at the time this Regulation is published,
1. On import into the Community of frozen strowberries, frozen raspberries, provisionally preserved strowberries and provisionally preserved raspberries originating in Poland, the minimum import price shall be as set out below:
(ECU/100 kg net)
1.2.3 // // // // CN code // Description of goods // Minimum import price // // // // 0811 10 90 // Frozen strowberries without added sugar // 88 // 0811 20 31 // Frozen raspberries without added sugar // 95 // 0812 20 00 // Provincially preserved strowberries // 52,5 // 0812 90 60 // Provincially preserved raspberries // 58 // // //
2. Where the import price is less than the minimum price set out above, a countervailing charge equivalent to the difference between those two prices shall be levied.
1. The minimum import price shall be respected when the import price expressed in the currency of the importing Member State is not less than the minimum import price applicable on the day on which the entry for release for free circulation is accepted.
2. The following factors shall constitute the import price:
(a) the fob price in the country of origin;
(b) transport and insurance costs to the point of entry into the customs territory of the Community.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, 'fob price' means the price paid or to be paid for the quantity of products contained in a consignment including the cost of placing the consignment on board a means of transport at the place of shipment in the country of origin and other costs incurred in that country. The fob price shall not include the cost of any services to be borne by the seller from the time that the products are placed on board the means of transport.
4. Payment of the fob price to the seller shall be effected not later than three months after the day on which the entry for free circulation is accepted by the customs authorities.
5. Where the factors referred to in paragraph 2 are expressed in a currency other than that of the importing Member State, the provisions on the valuation of goods for customs purposes shall be applied when converting such currency into the currency of the importing Member State.
1. The customs authorities shall, in respect of each consignment, at the time of completion of the customs import formalities for free circulation, compare the import price with the minimum import price.
2. The import price shall be declared on the entry for release for free circulation and the entry shall be accompanied by all the documents required to verify the price.
3. The competent authorities shall:
(a) if the invoice presented to the customs authorities has not been drawn up by the exporter in the country in which the products originated;
or
(b) if the authorities are not satisfied that the price declared in the entry reflects the actual import price;
or
(c) if payment has not been effected within the time limit provided for in Article 2 (4);
take the necessary measures to determine the import price, in particular by reference to the importer's resale price.
The importer shall retain evidence of payment to the seller. That evidence and all commercial documents, in particular invoices, contracts and correspondance concerning the purchase and sale of the products shall be kept available for examination by the customs authorities for a period of three years.
1. This Regulation shall not apply to products for which it has been proved that they have left the supplier country before the day of publication of this Regulation.
2. The parties concerned shall provide proof, to the satisfaction of the competent authorities, that the conditions set out in paragraph 1 have been complied with.
However, the competent authorities may regard the products as having left the supplier country before the day of publication of this Regulation when one of the following documents is submitted:
- in the case of transport by sea or waterway, the bill of landing showing that loading took place before that day,
- in case of transport by rail, the consignment note accepted by the railways of the expediting country before that day,
- in case of transport by road, the TIR carnet presented to the first customs office before that day,
- in case of transport by air, the air consignment note showing that the airline received the products before that day.
3. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply only in so far as the entry for free circulation has been accepted by the customs authorities before 1 November 1990.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 December 1990.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 816/70 of 28 April 1970 laying down additional provisions for the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1167/76 (2), and in particular Article 28 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1848/76 of 27 July 1976 laying down general rules for the import of wines, grape juice and grape must (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the V I documents which must accompany imports are specified in Regulation (EEC) No 2115/76 laying down detailed rules for the import of wines, grape juice and grape must (4) ; whereas, since this form of document may not be available everywhere it is needed, provision should be made, on the basis of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1848/76, for the form of document previously used for this purpose to continue to be used for a transitional period;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2115/76 provides that the Regulation shall not apply to wines shown to have been dispatched from the third country, in question before the date on which it took effect ; whereas, in order to avoid administrative difficulties, this exception should be extended to other products of the wine sector;

Whereas it is provided in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1848/76 that the certificate and analysis report are to dispensed with for imports into the Community of wines in containers of two litres or less originating in certain non-member countries ; whereas, however, certain consignments of wine from those non-member countries are still dispatched in containers of more than two litres ; whereas, to ease the transition to the new system, particularly as certain Member States are entitled to defer until 31 December 1979 the implementation of the Council Directive of 19 December 1974 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making-up by volume of certain prepackaged liquids (6), it should be provided, on the basis of Article 4 of the Regulation, that those consignments may for a specified period qualify for the exemption referred to above;

The following sentence is added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2115/76:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consultation of the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing single programming documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft single programming document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of the Regulation, the Commission shall take a decision on the single programming document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The United Kingdom Government submitted to the Commission on 14 April 2000 an acceptable draft single programming document for the North East of England region fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The draft contains the information listed in Article 16 of the Regulation, and in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments proposed for implementing the plan.
(5) Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000, the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible shall be 1 January 2000. Under Article 30 of the Regulation, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(9) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(10) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown must be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(11) Provision must be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance under Objective 2 in the North East of England region of the United Kingdom for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2005 for transitional areas and 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 for fully eligible areas is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Community Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of United Kingdom.
The priorities are as follows:
- establishing an entrepreneurial culture,
- SME growth and competitiveness,
- strategic employment opportunities,
- target communities,
- technical assistance;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the state aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty,
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from the ERDF, the ESF, the EIB and the other financial instruments and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objective 5b and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the ERDF and ESF planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspectives,
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the assistance.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 1893092000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 717000000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 877458000 from the public sector and EUR 298634000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 717000000. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority can be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period or by up to EUR 30 million, whichever is the greater, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 to certain categories of horizontal aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its co-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being co-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2007 for transitional areas and 31 December 2008 for fully eligible areas. This date is extended to 30 April 2008 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 in transitional areas and to 30 April 2009 for such bodies in fully eligible areas.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3714/92 (2), and in particular

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2040/2005
of 14 December 2005
laying down rules of application in the pigmeat sector for the import arrangements provided for in the Europe Agreements with Bulgaria and Romania
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Protocols approved by Council Decision 2003/286/EC of 8 April 2003 concerning the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural concessions (2) and Council Decision 2003/18/EC of 19 December 2002 on the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural concessions (3), provide for concessions for certain pigmeat products imported under the tariff quotas opened in accordance with those Agreements.
(2) Council and Commission Decision 2005/430/EC, Euratom of 18 April 2005 on the conclusion of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic to the European Union (4), and Council and Commission Decision 2005/431/EC, Euratom of 25 April 2005 on the conclusion of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic to the European Union (5), provide for additional concessions as regards pigmeat products.
(3) The arrangements should be managed by means of import licences, and detailed rules on the submission of applications and the particulars which are to appear on applications and licences should be defined, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6).
(4) Licences should be issued after a period of consideration and should be subject, where applicable, to a uniform percentage reduction.
(5) In order to ensure proper management of the quantities, the expiry date for licences should be set at the end of each quota year.
(6) In order to ensure efficient management of the arrangements, the amount of the security for import licences under those arrangements should be fixed. In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the arrangements in the pigmeat sector, traders' access to the arrangements should be subject to compliance with specific conditions.
(7) In order to guarantee proper management of the arrangements, Member States should provide the Commission with precise information on the quantities actually imported. For reasons of clarity, a single form is to be used for the transmission of information on quantities between the Member States and the Commission.
(8) In order to guarantee a smooth transition to the new arrangements and, in particular, ensure that products falling under serial numbers 09.4752 and 09.4756 which are imported under licences as from 1 July 2005 in the context of the additional Protocols benefit from the lowering of customs duty to 0 %, provision should be made for refunding the amounts paid in excess, in accordance with the conditions laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (7) and by 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 (8).

It is necessary, therefore, to repeal Regulation (EC) No 1898/97 and adopt a new Regulation laying down detailed rules for applying the trade aspects of the Europe Agreements with those two countries in the pigmeat sector.
(10) The annual quantities to be imported are set for periods beginning on 1 July.
(11) The Additional Protocols to the Europe Agreements with Bulgaria and Romania are to enter into force on the first day of the month following that in which the last instrument of approval is lodged.
(12) For Bulgaria, the date of entry into force of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement is 1 July 2005. Provision should therefore be made for this Regulation to apply to Bulgaria from that date.
(13) For Romania, the date of entry into force of the Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement is 1 August 2005. Provision should therefore be made for this Regulation to apply to Romania from that date.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat.
Import licences shall be presented for imports into the Community from Bulgaria or Romania of products falling under serial numbers 09.4671, 09.4752 and 09.4756, as referred to in Annex I hereto, under the arrangements laid down by Decisions 2003/286/EC and 2005/430/EC and by Decisions 2003/18/EC and 2005/431/EC.
The annual quantities of products eligible for the arrangements and the reduced rate of customs duty established by the Common Customs Tariff are laid down in Annex I for each tariff quota with a serial number appearing in that Annex.

(c) 25 % from 1 January to 31 March,
(d) 25 % from 1 April to 30 June.
1. Applications for import licences may be presented only by natural or legal persons who, at the time of lodging the application, are able to prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member States that they have been engaged in trade in pigmeat with third countries for at least twelve months.
However, retail or catering establishments selling their products to the final consumer shall be ineligible for the arrangements referred to in Article 1.
2. Licence applications shall mention only one of the serial numbers referred to in Annex I.

If applicants lodge more than one application for products coming under the same serial number, none of their applications shall be admissible.
3. Member States shall notify the Commission, on the third working day following the end of the period for lodging applications, of the applications lodged for each of the products falling under the serial numbers in question. Such notification shall include a list of the applicants and a summary of the quantities for each serial number.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVII of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the market in pigmeat, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of 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 (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of 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).
(5) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 399/2011 (5). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the condition provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004 and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86 (3) allocates among the Member States the 1987 catch quotas in the Canadian fishery zone available to the Community under the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of Canada (4);
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of that part of NAFO divisions 2 J and 3 KL which falls within the fisheries jurisdiction of Canada by vessels flying the flag of France or registered in France have reached the limit imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86; and whereas it is therefore necessary for catches of cod by those vessels in those waters under that Regulation to be prohibited;
Whereas, however, this prohibition is without prejudice to the fishing possibilities of Community vessels in waters forming part of the NAFO Convention Area and falling outside the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Canada,
Catches of cod in that part of NAFO divisions 2 J and 3 KL which falls within the fisheries jurisdiction of Canada by vessels flying the flag of France or registered in France are deemed to have exhausted the allocation available to France by virtue of Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86.
Fishing for cod in the abovementioned area under Regulation (EEC) No 4030/86 by vessels flying the flag of France or registered in France is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such fish captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 15 March 1982, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'JEOL - Scanning Microscope, model JSM-T200', ordered on 7 December 1981 and to be used for ultrastructural observations of surfaces, 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 16 July 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an electron microscope; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the resolution power 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, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'SEM 505' manufactured by Philips Nederland BV, Boschdijk 525, NL-Eindhoven, and to the apparatus 'Stereoscan 100' manufactured by Cambridge Instruments Ltd, Rustat Road, UK-Cambridge CB1 3QH,
The apparatus described as 'JEOL - Scanning Microscope, model JSM-T200', which is the subject of an application by the United Kingdom of 15 March 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 777/87 of 16 March 1987 modifying the intervention arrangements for butter and skimmed-milk poweder (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1634/91 (4), lays down the criteria on the basis of which buying-in by tender of butter and skimmed-milk powder takes place and is suspended; whereas it is necessary therefore to amend Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1589/87 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 891/91 (6); whereas consequently Regulation (EEC) No 1982/87 (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 335/91 (8), may be repealed;

Whereas Article 7 (2) sets out a period of 14 days following the expiry of the final date for the submission of tenders within which the butter accepted for intervention is to be delivered; whereas in some cases this period is too short and should therefore be extended;
Whereas Article 11 specifies that the conversion into national currency is to be made using the green rate corresponding to the words 'agricultural conversion rate'; whereas the words 'representative rate' should accordingly be replaced by 'agricultural conversion rate';
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees for Milk and Milk Products,

1. The first paragraph of Article 1 is replaced by the following:
Provided the Commission has not observed that the condition laid down in Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1547/87 is fulfilled, the intervention agencies concerned shall buy in butter in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation. A notice of invitation to tender is published in the Annex to this Regulation;

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1) submitted after consulting the Monetary Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Ukraine is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and is making substantial efforts to implement a market economy model;
Whereas Ukraine and the European Union have signed a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement which will help the development of a full cooperation relationship;
Whereas the authorities of Ukraine have requested financial assistance from the International Financial Institutions, the Community and other bilateral donors;
Whereas Ukraine has agreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a 'stand-by arrangement` and a second purchase under the 'systemic transformation facility` supporting Ukraine's comprehensive stabilization and reform programme; whereas these facilities amounting to approximately US $ 1,9 billion were approved by the IMF Board on 7 April 1995; whereas policy based loans to Ukraine of approximately US $ 600 million are also expected from the World Bank in 1995;
Whereas, over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF and the World Bank, a residual financing gap of US $ 3,4 billion remains to be covered in 1995 in order to support the policy objectives attached to the government's reform effort; whereas after rescheduling of Ukrainian debts towards Russia and Turkmenistan, this gap is reduced to US $ 900 million; whereas substantial contributions are also expected from the United States and Japan;
Whereas by Decision 94/940/EC (3), the Council approved macro-financial assistance for Ukraine of up to ECU 85 million; whereas, however, further official support is required in order to support the balance of payments, consolidate the reserve position and facilitate the necessary structural adjustment of that country;
Whereas the Ukrainian authorities are committed to pursuing the prompt implementation of the plan for the closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant by the year 2000, in accordance with the modalities supported by the Group of Seven and the European Union;
Whereas an additional Community long-term loan to Ukraine is an appropriate measure to help easing the country's external financial constraints;
Whereas the Community loan should be managed by the Commission;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
1. The Community shall make available to Ukraine a long-term loan facility of a maximum principal amount of ECU 200 million with a maximum maturity of ten years, with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation, strengthening the country's reserve position and facilitating the implementation of the necessary structural reforms.
2. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of Ukraine in the form of a loan.
3. This loan will be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Monetary Committee and in a manner consistent with any agreement reached between the IMF and Ukraine.
1. The Commission is empowered to agree with the Ukrainian authorities, after consulting the Monetary Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the loan. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1 (3).
2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee and in close coordination with the IMF, that the economic policy in Ukraine is in accordance with the objectives of this loan and that its conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The loan shall be made available to Ukraine in two instalments. The first instalment of an amount of ECU 100 million shall not be released before one quarter after the release of the ECU 85 million loan approved by Decision 94/940/EC, subject to Article 2 and to progress in Ukraine's application of the 'stand-by arrangement` agreed with the IMF.
2. Subject to Article 2, the second instalment shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory continuation of the 'stand-by arrangement` and not before one quarter after the release of the first instalment.
3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Ukraine.
1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest rate risk, or in any other commercial risk.
2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if Ukraine so requests, to ensure that an early repayment clause is included in the loan terms and conditions and that it may be exercised.
3. At the request of Ukraine, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate on the loans, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average maturity of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.
4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by Ukraine.
5. The Monetary Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 at least once a year.
At least once a year the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, which will include an evaluation, on the implementation of this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 |

(2) In order to increase road safety by improving the conspicuity of motor vehicles the obligation for fitting dedicated daytime running lights on these vehicles should be introduced into Directive 76/756/EEC.
(3) New technologies like the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) and the Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) are expected to have a positive influence on road safety. Directive 76/756/EEC should therefore be amended in order to allow the fitting of these devices.
(4) In order to take into account further amendments to UN/ECE Regulation No 48 (4) on which the Community has already voted, it is appropriate to adapt Directive 76/756/EEC to technical progress by aligning it to the technical requirements of this UN/ECE Regulation. In the interest of clarity Annex II to Directive 76/756/EEC should be amended.
(5) Directive 76/756/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,
Annex II, paragraph 1 to Directive 76/756/EEC is amended as follows:
‘1. The technical requirements shall be those set out in paragraphs 2, 5 and 6 of UN/ECE Regulation No 48 (5) and Annexes 3 to 11 thereto.
With effect from 7 February 2011 for vehicles of categories M1 and N1 and from 7 August 2012 for vehicles of other categories, if the requirements laid down in Directive 76/756/EEC, as amended by this Directive, are not complied with, Member States, on grounds related to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices, shall refuse to grant EC type approval or national type approval for new types of vehicles.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to the Council Directive of 17 April 1972 (1) on the modernization of farms, and in particular Article 10 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas according to the abovementioned Directive, where it is provided in the development plan that the farm will concentrate on the production of beef and veal or mutton and lamb, the incentives laid down in Article 8 of that Directive are to be supplemented by a guidance premium;
Whereas in view of the present structure of farms suitable for modernization in accordance with the said Directive by concentrating on the production of beef and veal or mutton and lamb, the guidance premium should be calculated per hectare of land required for such meat production, taking into account the change which the premium is to effect;
The guidance premium referred to in Article 10 of the Council Directive of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms shall he calculated per hectare of farm land required for the production of beef and veal or mutton and lamb on a farm, the development plan for which provides that at its term the share of earnings from cattle and sheep sales shall exceed 50 % of earnings from all farm sales.
The amount of this premium shall be: - 45 u.a. per hectare within a ceiling of 4 000 u.a. per farm in the first year,
- 30 u.a. per hectare within a ceiling of 3 000 u.a. per farm in the second year,

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1025/97 of 6 June 1997 concerning imports of certain textile products originating in the Russian Federation
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1937/96 (2) and in particular Article 12 (2) and Article 17 (6), in conjunction with Article 25 (5) thereof,
Whereas the agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and the Russian Federation on trade in textile products initialled on 19 December 1995 expired on 31 December 1996 and whereas, pending the resumption and completion of negotiations directed towards the initialling of a new agreement with the Russian Federation, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2446/96 (3) as amended by Regulation (EC) No 562/97 (4) was adopted in order to safeguard the economic interests of the Community in the further conduct of trade in textile products with that country;
Whereas the measures brought in by that Regulation are to apply until 30 June 1997, by which date it appears unlikely that a new textiles agreement can be negotiated and brought into application;
Whereas it is necessary, given the sensitivity of the textiles and clothing sector to introduce an import regime for the second six months of 1997 setting quantitative limits for imports of certain textile products originating in the Russian Federation;
Whereas experience of administering the quantitative limits established by Regulation (EC) No 2446/96 has shown that for certain categories of products requests for import authorizations considerably exceeded the quantitative limits; whereas it is appropriate to introduce more precise criteria for management in order to ensure that requests for authorization of imports correspond to a real intention to import; whereas for this purpose the issue of an import authorization should be subject to the presentation of a contract;
Whereas in order to allow as many traders as possible access to the quantitative limits it also appears appropriate to limit the quantities allocated by each licence to a maximum amount; whereas with a view to an optimal utilization of the quantitative limits it is also appropriate to provide that each operator is only able to present a new request for authorization of imports after having used 50 % of the quantity covered by a previously issued licence;
Considering that with a view to ensuring an optimal utilization of the quantitative limits it is appropriate to fix the duration of validity of the import licences to three months from the date of their issue;
Whereas in order to ensure the continuity of trade it is appropriate to introduce new quantitative limits covering the rest of the year 1997 and that these limits should be set by reference to the period covered together with an increase which does not prejudge the results of the negotiation of a new textiles agreement;
Whereas for categories 2, 2a, 39, 117 and 118, the quantitative limits for which were exhausted shortly after their introduction by Regulation (EC) No 2446/96, it is necessary in order to ensure the continuity of trade to render the new quantitative limits, under the new rules of management, accessible from the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas for the other categories of products, for which the quantitative limits have not been completely exhausted it is appropriate that the new rules of management and the new quantitative limits be applicable following the date of expiry of Regulation (EC) No 2446/96, that is from 1 July 1997;
Whereas it is necessary to make it clear that the provisions of this Regulation do not prevent imports of textile products covered by a valid import licence issued pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2446/96;
Whereas in the interim the negotiations to reach a new bilateral agreement between the Community and the Russian Federation before the expiry of this present Regulation will continue;
Whereas the reduced number of quantitative restrictions in comparison with those existing in the agreement as well as the increased levels provided for in this Regulation are introduced on the basis that the Russian Federation will not adopt, during the validity of this Regulation, measures in the textiles and clothing sector concerning quantitative restrictions, or increased tariffs or non-tariff barriers such as certification or other import requirements applicable to import of products originating in the Community, other than those measures in force in the Russian Federation at the date of 1st January 1996; whereas the introduction of any such measure will therefore entail a review of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas these measures conform to the opinion delivered by the Committee set up by Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
1. As from the date of entry into force of this Regulation imports into the Community of textile products listed in Annex I to this Regulation originating in the Russian Federation shall be subject to the quantitative limits established in that Annex.
2. As from 1 July 1997 imports into the Community of textile products listed in Annex II to this Regulation originating in the Russian Federation shall be subject to the quantitative limits established in that Annex.
3. As from 1 July 1997, re-imports into the Community, after outward economic processing in the Russian Federation, of textile products listed in Annex III to this Regulation originating in the Community shall be subject to the quantitative limits established in that Annex.
Without prejudice to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 are applicable to imports referred to in this Regulation.
As from the date of entry into force of this Regulation in respect to products listed in Annex I and as from 1 July 1997 in respect to products listed in Annex II the following provisions are applicable:
1. The quantity requested by each operator in obtaining an import licence shall not exceed the maximum quantities set out in Annex IV.
2. Any importer who has used an import licence to the extent of 50 % or more of the quantity allocated to him pursuant to paragraph 1 may make a further application for a licence for the same category of products provided that quantities remain available within the relevant quantitative limit.
3. The competent authorities of the Member States shall issue import licences only after being notified of the Commission's decision and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2, certify in writing that he has not already been allocated a Community import licence under this Regulation for the relevant category.
4. Import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation shall be valid for three months from the date of their issue.
Only the quantities of products listed in Annexes I, II and III of this Regulation released for free circulation into the Community, following the date of entry into force of this Regulation in respect of the products listed in Article 1 (1) and after 1 July 1997 in respect of those products set out in Article 1 (2) and (3), on the basis of an import licence issued under this Regulation or on the basis of a prior authorization for economic outward processing pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3017/95 (5) shall be deducted from the respective limits set out in the said annexes.
The provisions of this Regulation shall not apply to imports into the Community of products covered by Annexes I, II and III the importation of which has been authorized pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2446/96.
The provisions of this Regulation shall be subject to review in the event that, during the period of its validity, the Russian Federation introduces measures in respect of quantitative restrictions or increased tariffs or non-tariff barriers such as certification or other import requirements applicable to imports of textile and clothing products originating in the Community, other than those measures in force in the Russian Federation at the date of 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It is applicable until 31 December 1997.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation 1527/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(4). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 May 2001.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2715/1999
of 20 December 1999
setting the intervention threshold for tomatoes for the 2000 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for the possibility of setting an intervention threshold if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering or at risk of suffering from widespread structural imbalances giving, or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals. Such a development would be likely to cause budget problems for the Community;
(2) an intervention threshold was fixed for tomatoes for the 1999 marketing year in Commission Regulation (EC) No 13/1999(3). Since the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for that product, a new threshold should be set for the 2000 marketing year equal to that set for the 1999 marketing year, and the period to be taken into account for the assessment of the overrun of the threshold should also be determined;
(3) pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold results in a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the year in which the threshold is exceeded. The consequences of such an overrun should be determined and a reduction in proportion to the size of the overrun fixed, but restricted to a certain percentage;
(4) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The intervention threshold for tomatoes for the 2000 marketing year shall be 360000 tonnes.
2. The overrun of the intervention threshold laid down in paragraph 1 shall be assessed on the basis of withdrawals effected between 1 November 1999 and 31 October 2000.
If the quantity subject to withdrawals during the period set in Article 1(2) exceeds the threshold set in Article 1(1), the Community withdrawal compensation set in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the following marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
However, the reduction in the Community compensation shall not exceed 30 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/317/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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, Article 8(4) and the third indent of Article 8(5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (2), in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (3) establishes the sanitary conditions for the importation into the Community of live animals, excluding equidae, and for the importation of fresh meat of such animals, including equidae, but excluding meat preparations.
(2) Article 6 of Decision 79/542/EEC concerns transport of live animals for importation into the Community. The transport of such animals by air presents a risk for animal health in the Community, due to insect vectors of animal diseases that could be present in the means of air transport. It is therefore appropriate to provide for measures for disinfestation of the means of such transport in order to avoid the accidental introduction into the Community of potentially infected insect vectors together with imported animals.
(3) Decision 79/542/EEC provides that animals intended for import into the Community can transit only through third countries which are permitted to export animals of the same species to the Community. However, it is permitted to transit animals through certain third countries that are not permitted to export animals to the Community. Such transit is only permitted if the animals are intended for immediate slaughter once they have reached their final destination in the Community. The procedure for listing those third countries has been established taking into account several factors, in particular the animal health situation of the third country, the guarantees about the integrity of the animals during transit, the controls at the border inspection posts and at the final destination.
(4) Animal welfare and traceability aspects should also be taken into account when considering the transport of animals to the Community from or via third countries. The Community rules currently in force lead to a situation where bovine animals for fattening must be transported on longer routes, in order to avoid transit through certain third countries that are not permitted to export animals to the Community. This has a negative impact on animal welfare. It is therefore appropriate to extend also to bovine animals for fattening the possibility for transit through third countries that are not permitted to export animals to the Community.
(5) In addition, it is necessary to ensure an adequate animal health protection in the Community when animals for fattening are introduced after having transited through third countries that are not permitted to export animals to the Community. Appropriate measures should therefore be established, to be applied both during transit and at the final destination. Those measures should ensure the animal health status of the animals and the integrity of the consignment during transport, and limit further movements of the animals from the farms of destination in the Community.
(6) The farms of destination should be specifically designated by the competent veterinary authority of the Member State of destination. When designating such farms, the competent veterinary authority should, in particular, ensure a control of the animals throughout the period from the date of arrival on the farm until the date of slaughter.
(7) Decision 79/542/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2008/752/EC (4), includes a reference to the compulsorily notifiable diseases listed in Annex A to Council Directive 90/426/EEC (5) in the animal health certificates for certain meat from domestic and wild solipeds. However, since only African horse sickness and glanders may be transmitted through the meat, those certificates should include specific references only to those diseases.
(8) For reasons of clarity and consistency of Community legislation, the model of animal health certificate for ‘Transit/Storage’ should be deleted from Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC and Annex III to that Decision should be replaced.
(9) Decision 79/542/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 79/542/EEC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 6(1), the following second subparagraph is added:
2. Annexes I, II and III are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of barley to certain third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1058/2005 (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (3), the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For tenders notified from 9 to 15 June 2006, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1058/2005, the maximum refund on exportation of barley shall be 6,00 EUR/t.

amending Directive 2010/18/EU implementing the revised Framework Agreement on parental leave concluded by BUSINESSEUROPE, UEAPME, CEEP and ETUC, following the amendment of the status of Mayotte with regard to the European Union
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) By European Council Decision 2012/419/EU (2), the European Council decided to amend the status of Mayotte with regard to the Union with effect from 1 January 2014. From that date, Mayotte will cease to be an overseas country or territory and will become an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 and Article 355(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Following this amendment of the legal status of Mayotte, Union law will apply to Mayotte from 1 January 2014. Taking account of the particular structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, certain specific measures aimed at laying down the conditions of application of Union law should be established.
(2) Considering the specific structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, in particular the fact that the labour market is underdeveloped and the employment rate is low due to its remoteness, insularity, difficult topography and climate, an additional implementation period for Council Directive 2010/18/EU (3) should be provided for in order to ensure that equal treatment in the particular field of parental leave is achieved progressively and in a way that does not destabilise the gradual economic development of Mayotte. That additional implementation period should allow the specific disadvantaged structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, as a new outermost region, to be improved.
(3) Directive 2010/18/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 3(2) of Directive 2010/18/EU, the following subparagraph is added:
‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the additional period referred to therein shall be extended to 31 December 2018 as regards Mayotte as an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU.’.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 121/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) has established for 2012 and 2013 a scheme for the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Union, which applies until the completion of the 2013 annual plan.
(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012 (3) adopted the plan for the supply of food to the most deprived persons and allocated the adequate financial resources in charge of 2013 budget year. In accordance with Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 (4), the implementation period of an annual plan is to begin on 1 October and to finish on 31 December of the following year. In order to ensure a smooth transition to the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived when it is established in 2014, notably in terms of delivery of support, and in accordance with the requests that the Commission received from Spain, Poland and Slovenia an extension of the implementation period of the 2013 annual plan for the distribution of food for the benefit of the most deprived persons seems appropriate. In order to ensure equal treatment, the extension should be applicable for all Member States.
(3) As a result of judicial procedures launched against tender procedures, Greece has faced delays in the signature of public procurement contracts and has accordingly requested the extension of the deadline to submit payment requests mentioned in the first paragraph of Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012. In view of this request and of the difficult financial situation faced by Greece, it is appropriate to allow this extension. In order to ensure equal treatment, the derogation should apply to all Member States. As the deadline for the submission of payment requests was set at 30 September, this derogation should apply retrospectively.
(4) For accounting purposes, the advances paid by the Paying Agencies to beneficiaries as well as the clearing of advances at beneficiary level should be booked in the Commission’s annual accounts. Therefore, it is appropriate for the Member States to fix the date by which the beneficiaries of those payments should submit costs statements and certain other information related to advance payments. In addition, it is appropriate to set the deadline of the data provision from the Member States to the Commission as 1 February 2014, which corresponds to the deadline applicable to the provision of accounting information referred to in Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 (5).
(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1020/2012 is amended as follows:
(1) the following Article 1a is inserted:
(2) in Article 4, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
(3) Article 5 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) they have taken all measures to ensure that the implementation shall be completed not later than 28 February 2014.’;
(b) the following paragraph 5a is inserted:
(a) costs statements justifying, by cost item, the use of the advances until 15 October 2013; and
(b) a confirmation, by cost item, of the balance of unused advances remaining on 15 October 2013.
(c) paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/37/EU
of 17 June 2010
amending Directive 2008/60/EC laying down specific purity criteria on sweeteners
(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 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1) and in particular Article 30(5) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2008/60/EC (2) laying down specific purity criteria on sweeteners sets out the purity criteria for the sweeteners for use in foodstuffs listed in European Parliament and Council Directive 94/35/EC of 30 June 1994 on sweeteners for use in Foodstuffs (3).
(2) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed the information on the safety in use of neotame as a sweetener and flavour enhancer and expressed its opinion of 27 September 2007 (4). On the basis of the proposed uses, it has been considered appropriate to permit the use of this food additive. It is therefore necessary to adopt specifications for this food additive which is allocated E 961 as E number.
(3) It is necessary to take into account the specifications and analytical techniques for additives as set out in the Codex Alimentarius drafted by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). In particular, the specific purity criteria need to be adapted to reflect the limits for individual heavy metals of interest, where appropriate.
(4) Directive 2008/60/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 2008/60/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 March 2011 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
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.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1475/97 of 28 July 1997 fixing the buying-in prices, aids and certain other amounts applicable for the 1997/98 wine year to intervention measures in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1417/97 (2), and in particular Articles 35 (8), 36 (6), 38 (5), 41 (10), 44, 45 (9) and 46 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3299/94 of 21 December 1994 on transitional measures applicable in Austria in the wine-growing sector (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 670/95 (4), provides for Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 to apply in its entirety in Austria from the 1995/96 wine year; whereas, however, Austria should, in the interests of administrative clarity, be considered to form part of the wine-growing zone B provided for in Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No 822/87;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1418/97 (5) fixes the guide prices for wine for the 1997/98 wine year; whereas the prices, aids and other amounts for the various intervention measures to be adopted for that wine year should accordingly be fixed on that basis;
Whereas this Regulation applies to Austria and Portugal; whereas, however, since wine-growing zones have not been delimited in those countries, the oenological practices authorized in accordance with the rules laid down under Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should be defined for the 1997/98 wine year pending the adoption of definitive rules;
Whereas, since enrichment is an exceptional practice, the same reduction in the buying-in price for wine provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and laid down in Annex VIII should be applied as in wine-growing zone C; whereas, in the light of experience the derogations in force for 'vinho verde` should be extended;
Whereas the aid for the use in wine-making of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must as provided for in Article 45 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 must be fixed taking into account the difference between the cost of enrichment achieved using concentrated grape must and using sucrose; whereas, in the light of the data available to the Commission, the amount of the aid should be varied with the product used for enrichment;
Whereas distillers may, in accordance with Articles 35 (6) and 36 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, either receive aid for the product to be distilled or deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency; whereas the amount of the aid must be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2468/96 (7);
Whereas the price of wine to be distilled under Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 does not normally allow the marketing at market prices of products obtained from distillation; whereas provision must therefore be made for aid, the amount of which is to be fixed on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89, account also being taken of the present uncertainty of prices on the market for distillation products;
Whereas some wine delivered for one of the distillation operations may be processed into wine fortified for distillation; whereas the amounts applicable to distillation in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2046/89 should be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas experience gained in sales by invitation to tender of alcohol held by intervention agencies shows that the difference between prices which may be obtained for neutral spirits and raw alcohol does not justify the takeover of the former; whereas, moreover, quantities of neutral spirits currently available are sufficient to satisfy, at least for one wine year, any demand for that product; whereas under these circumstances the possibility provided for in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 should be used by producing for the buying-in of all alcohol at the price for raw alcohol;
Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2365/95 (9), laying down detailed rules for the application of compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 sets a standard natural alcohol strength by volume to be applied in the various wine-growing zones for the purpose of determining the volume of alcohol to be delivered for distillation under Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas it has not been possible to fix this standard natural alcoholic strength in Portugal because the wine-growing zones in that country have not yet been delimited; whereas, therefore, a provisional standard natural alcohol strength should be fixed;
Whereas Article 46 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 lays down criteria for fixing the aid provided for in that Article; whereas, as regards the aid for the use of grapes, grape must and concentrated grape must for the manufacture of grape juice, paragraph 4 of that Article stipulates that a part of the aid should be set aside for the organization of campaigns to promote the consumption of grape juice and whereas the aid may be increased to that end; whereas, having regard to the criteria laid down and of the need to finance those campaigns, the aid should be fixed at a level permitting sufficient quantities to be obtained for the effective promotion of the product;
Whereas the reduction in the buying-in price for wine provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 depends on the average increase in the natural alcoholic strength in each wine-growing zone; whereas experience shows that that increase corresponds on average to half the maximum increase authorized; whereas the reduction in the buying-in price must accordingly correspond to the added alcoholic strength as a percentage of the alcoholic strength of wine delivered for distillation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81 of 16 December 1981 determining the classification of vine varieties (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1914/96 (11), establishes the list of vine varieties recommended and authorized in Portugal; whereas, in assessing the production of wine in Portugal, reference should be made to those vine varieties;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
This Regulation fixes the buying-in prices, the aids and certain other amounts applicable for the 1997/98 wine year to intervention measures in the wine sector in the Community. As regards the measures provided for in Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, those amounts shall be fixed subject to a subsequent decision on the activating of those measures.
1. The buying-in prices of the products and of wine delivered during the 1997/98 wine year for compulsory distillation as provided for in Articles 35 and 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and, for those products:
- aid to distillers,
- aid to fortifiers of wine of distillation,
- the buying-in prices of alcohol obtained, delivered to an intervention agency,
- the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund towards the taking over of that alcohol,
shall be as set out in Annexes I and II hereto.
2. In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 35 (6), the second subparagraph of Article 36 (4) and the second subparagraph of Article 39 (7), the intervention agency shall pay the raw alcohol price for the alcohol delivered to it.
The buying-in prices for wine delivered during the 1997/98 wine year for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and, for those products:
- aid to distillers,
- aid to fortifiers of wine for distillation,
shall be as set out respectively in Annexes III and IV.
The aid for utilization during the 1997/98 wine year of concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must as provided for in Article 45 (1) and in the first subparagraph of Article 46 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be as set out respectively in Annexes V, VI and VII hereto.
The reductions provided for in Article 44 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 applicable to the buying-in prices for wine delivered during the 1997/98 wine year for distillation as provided for in Articles 36, 38, 39 or 41 of that Regulation and, for that wine:
- to the aid to the distiller,
- to the buying-in prices of alcohol obtained, delivered to an intervention agency,
- to the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund to the taking over of that alcohol,
shall be as set out in Annex VIII hereto.
For the purposes of this Article, Portugal shall be considered to form part of wine-growing zone C, and Austria of wine-growing zone B.
For the application of the rules governing oenological practices and processes laid down in Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, Austria shall be considered to form part of wine-growing zone B for the 1997/98 wine year.
1. The rules governing oenological practices and processes laid down in Title II of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall apply to Portugal during the 1997/98 wine year subject to the following conditions:
(a) increase in alcoholic strength shall be limited to 2 % vol. Products eligible under this measure shall have a natural alcoholic strength by volume of at least 7,5 % vol, before enrichment and total alcoholic strength by volume of not more than 13 % after enrichment.
However, products upstream of table wine originating in the 'Vinho verde` region must have an alcoholic strength by volume of at least 7 % before enrichment.
The addition of concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must shall not have the effect of increasing the initial volume of fresh crushed grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation or new wine still in fermentation by more than 6,5 %;
(b) fresh grapes, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine may be the subject of acidification or deacidification.
2. The wine varieties which may be used to produce table wine shall be those listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3800/81.
'Vinho verde` may:
- be marketed with a minimum total alcoholic strength by volume 8,5 % for wines which have not been subject to enrichment,
- possess a total context of sulphine dioxide no greater than 300 milligrams per litre for white 'Vinho verde' wines with a residual sugar content not less than 5 g/l.
3. The quantity of alcohol which producers of table wine in Portugal must deliver for distillation in accordance with Article 35 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be calculated on the basis of a standard natural alcoholic strength, to be taken into consideration for the assessment of the volume of alcohol contained in the wine produced, equal to 9 % by volume, with the exception of wines produced in the delimited 'Vinho verde' region, for which the alcoholic strength to be taken into consideration shall be 8,5 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 September 1997.

31993R0959 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 959/93 of 5 April 1993 concerning statistical information to be supplied by Member States on crop products other than cereals
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 959/93 of 5 April 1993 concerning statistical information to be supplied by Member States on crop products other than cereals
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks imposed on it by the Treaty and the regulations concerning the common agricultural policy, the Commission needs to have reliable, comparable and up-to-date data, established by objective methods, on areas under cultivation, yields and production of crop products other than cereals;
Whereas it is appropriate to recognize the importance of the crop production sector apart from cereals for the organization and management of agricultural markets, which implies that the requisite statistical survey should be conducted to an increasing degree on the basis of Community rules;
Whereas account should be taken of the experience acquired by the statistical services with these surveys over many years;
Whereas the purpose of this Regulation is to define the statistical information to be supplied, to prescribe a satisfactory level of reliability and lay down additional technical information necessary to assess production figures, to provide for objectivity and representativeness of surveys on area and production by a broad exchange of experience, involving meetings and reports and to fix the deadlines to be met;
Whereas, for some crop products other than cereals, the communication of regional data is also required on an annual basis;
Whereas it is appropriate for the Commission to submit a report after three years of experience with this Regulation, together with, if necessary, proposals for improving statistical surveys;
Whereas, during a transitional period, the changes to be made in statistical methods involve additional work for Member States, which requires a financial contribution from the Community for the period 1993 to 1995, such amount being deemed necessary as ECU 1 million per year;
Whereas, notwithstanding that the collection and treatment of data and the organization of surveys at national level ought to remain the responsibility of the statistical services of the Member States, the Commission must ensure the collection, coordination and harmonization of statistical information at European level and provide for the harmonized methodologies for the management of Community policies;
Whereas, in order to facilitate the application of this Regulation, close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission should continue, in particular via the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics set up by Decision 72/279/EEC (3),
SECTION I
Objectives
Member States shall provide the Commission with annual data on the production and area of crops, other than cereals, as specified in Articles 2 and 6 of this Regulation with due regard for Council Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 of 11 June 1990 on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities (4).
SECTION II
Data to be supplied at national level
1. Member States shall deliver data on main areas and secondary areas, in accordance with the definitions given in Annex I, annualy for all types of use of arable land listed in Annex II. Only the Member States indicated in Annex IX shall be obliged to include secondary areas in an annual statistical survey and to deliver data on those areas.
2. In addition, Member States shall submit data on main areas of permanent grassland and permanent crops and other areas as stated respectively in Annex II, headings K, L, M and N. Those data can be obtained fully or partially from earth observation techniques and sources other than the comprehensive survey mentioned in Article 3 (1), and such sources need not necessarily be annual surveys.
3. Each Member State shall also sumbit annual data on the following:
- average yield, and - production harvested, for each product as specified in Annex III.
SECTION III
Methods, and specifications
1. For the specification in each Member State of the use of arable land referred to in Annex II, data on the main areas shall be obtained from one comprehensive annual statistical survey which should take the form of a census or a representative survey. That survey may include the other utilized agricultural area apart from arable land.
2. After approval by the Commission, Member States may, however, use adminsitrative sources as a substitute for data on arable land obtained from the comprehensive survey mentioned in paragraph 1.
3. Where neither statistical surveys on permanent crops, permanent grassland and other parts of the utilized agricultural area (as defined in Annex II, headings K, L, M and N) for a specific year nor annual estimates on changes in land use of those items from Community sources are available, Member States may provide estimates for that year for those items.
4. The general survey referred to in paragraph 1 shall be conducted using statistically recognized methods which meet the requirements on quality, objectivity and reliability.
5. The Member States listed in Annex IX may choose between two different methodological approaches for the land use survey according to the definitions in Annex I:
- either a 'real-time` approach referring to the main area at the time of the survey with additional information on secondary area later on,
- or an 'ex-post` evaluation of land use (referring to main and secondary area in the same survey) taking place at the end of the crop season. Only Member States referred to in Annex IX have to specify secondary areas.
6. Data for areas of marginal importance, as referred to in Annex VIII, may be obtained from other data sources not meeting all the requirements of this Regulation.
7. In order to meet the requirements of this section, transitional arrangements may be agreed upon in accordance with Article 8 (3).
1. In the case of sample surveys on main areas of arable land, the samples must be designed so that they are representative of at least 95 % of the total area of that land under crops other than cereals.
Data on the main areas must be supplemented by an estimate relying on data from other sources and relating to the area of arable land not covered by the sample and under crops other than cereals.
2. Surveys on land under permanent grassland, permanent crops and other parts of the utilized agricultural area apart from arable land shall be as representative as possible. Permanent grassland shall also include the parts of the utilized agricultural area outside agricultural holdings.
3. The sample surveys on main areas of arable land must be designed so that, in each Member State and for each of the separate groups of main areas (as specified in Annex IV) at least one of the following two criteria is satisfied:
(a) the coefficient of variation does not exceed that given in Annex IV;
(b) the standard error does not exceed that given in Annex IV.
4. The degree of accuracy required for the area estimates of permanent grassland, permanent crops and other parts of the utilized agricultural area apart from arable land shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12, once the Member States have forwarded to the Commission the reports referred to in Article 8 (1).
1. Surveys on production or yields shall be conducted using statistically recognized methods as regards quality, objectivity and reliability.
2. After approval by the Commission, Member States may, however, use administrative sources as substitutes for the data obtained from the surveys on production or yields as mentioned in paragraph 1.
3. The degree of accuracy to be required for the production estimate of each crop in Annex III shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12, once the Member States have forwarded to the Commission the reports referred to in Article 8 (1).
4. Any supplementary information required for the further standardization of production estimates shall be decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12, once the Member States have forwarded to the Commission the reports referred to in Article 8 (1).
SECTION IV
Data to be supplied at regional level
1. Annual data on areas under cultivation, yields and harvested production must be forwarded to the Commission for the crops indicated in Annex V at the regional levels defined in Annex VI. Areas under cultivation are defined in Annex V.
Where no regional data are available for a specific year in respect of permanent crops, permanent grassland and other parts of the utilized agricultural area (as defined in Annex II headings K, L, M and N) Member States may supply estimates for that year in respect of those items, as specified in Annex V.
2. Member States shall be obliged to supply data on areas and products only in respect of crops of which the area exceeds the level of marginal importance as indicated in Annex VIII.
3. Member States shall be obliged to supply data on areas under cultivation as defined in Annex V and on harvested production only in respect of the most important regions for each of the specified crops. For each of those crops, data must be submitted for those regions, which together, arranged in descending order, represent at least 80 % of the area under a specific crop as compared with the total area under that crop in the Member State concerned.
SECTION V
Deadlines, exchange of experience and transitional arrangements
1. The calendar year in which the harvest begins shall hereinafter be referred to as the 'harvest year`.
2. For the land-use items given in Annex II, Member States shall supply the Commission with provisional national data on the area under cultivation at the latest by 1 October of the harvest year. Final data on those areas under cultivation shall be supplied at the latest by 1 April following the harvest year.
3. Initial estimates of national yields and production figures on the products specified in Annex VII shall be forwarded at the latest by the deadlines in that Annex. Provisional yields and production figures on the products specified in Annex III shall be supplied at the latest by 15 April and final figures at the latest by 1 October, both in the year following the harvest year.
4. If yield and production figures refer to revised area data, the latter should also be submitted.
5. The regional data referred to in Article 6 shall be supplied at the same time as the final figures at national level and be consistent with them.
1. Within 12 months of the entry into force of this Regulation, Member States shall submit a detailed methodological report to the Commission describing how data for the utilized area, the arable land and the area under individual crops are obtained. Member States shall also explain how yield and production are calculated in their respective countries and, where appropriate, regions and indicate the representativeness and reliabilty of those figures. The Commission, in collaboration with Member States, shall compile a summary of the reports.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission, within three months, of any modifications to the information provided under paragraph 1.
3. Should certain methodological reports show that a Member State cannot, in the immediate future, meet the requirements of this Regulation and if changes in survey techniques and methodology are necessary, the Commission may, in cooperation with the Member State, set a transitional period of a maximum of two years for the introduction of a survey programme in accordance with this Regulation.
4. Methodological reports, transitional arrangements, data availability, data reliability and other relevant issues connected with the application of this Regulation shall be examined twice a year within the competent Working Group of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics.
Not later than the end of 1995, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council:
- a report on the experience gained from the statistical surveys and estimates carried out pursuant to this Regulation,
- if necessary, proposals for the improvement and harmonization of the arrangements in force in the Member States.
0
Annexes I to IX shall be amended, as the need arises, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12.
SECTION VI
Financial arrangements
1
1. The Community shall grant to the Member States each year during the period 1993 to 1995 a contribution to the expenditure incurred in the work undertaken to improve the methodological bases and the comparability of the data mentioned in Articles 2 and 6; the amount deemed necessary for this contribution shall be ECU 1 million per year.
2. The budget authority shall determine the appropriations available for each financial year.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 1396/2005
of 25 August 2005
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 August 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1717/96 of 29 August 1996 initiating an investigation concerning the circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 993/93 on imports of certain electronic weighing scales originating in Japan by imports of the same product assembled in and/or transhipped through Indonesia and making the latter imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Communities (1), and in particular Articles 13 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`) to investigate the alleged circumvention by TEC Corporation, Tokyo (hereinafter referred to as 'TEC`) of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 993/93 (2) with regard to this company on imports of certain electronic weighing scales originating in Japan, by assembly operations in and/or transhipments through Indonesia of the same product subsequently exported to the Community, to make the imports of these electronic weighing scales subject to registration by the customs authorities pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation and to propose to the Council the extension, where justified, of the above anti-dumping duty to the latter imports.
B. APPLICANTS
(2) The request has been lodged on 19 July 1996 by the following companies:
Bizerba GmbH & Co. KG, Campesa SA, Dataprocess SpA, Dataprocess Industria SpA, Testut SA, Lutrana SA, GEC Avery Limited, Maatschappij Van Berkel's Patent BV and Brevetti Van Berkel SpA.
According to the request, these companies are all manufacturers of retail electronic weighing scales whose collective output represents approximately 65 % of the total Community production of those scales.
C. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned is retail electronic weighing scales which incorporate a digital display of the weight, unit price and price to be paid, whether or not including a means of printing this data (hereinafter referred to as 'REWS`). This product is currently classified within CN code 8423 81 50. This code is given for information only and has no binding effect on the classification of the product.
D. EVIDENCE
(4) The request contains sufficient evidence in accordance with the requirements of Article 13 of the Basic Regulation that the anti-dumping duty on imports of REWS produced by TEC and originating in Japan is being circumvented by assembly operations in and/or transhipments through Indonesia of REWS subsequently exported to the Community.
(5) The evidence is as follows:
(a) Since the initiation of the last anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of REWS originating in Japan on 26 February 1991, a clear change in the pattern of trade between Japan, Indonesia and the Community has taken place. Imports of REWS from Japan into the Community have decreased from 25 470 units in 1992 to 652 units in the first half of the year 1995, whereas imports of the same product from Indonesia have increased from 0 in 1993 to well over 1 000 units in the first half of the year 1995.
The complainants allege that all REWS imported into the Community from Indonesia are TEC branded products. This change in the pattern of trade is particularly illustrated, when considering TEC's imports of REWS into the United Kingdom: in 1994, 275 units were imported from Japan and 300 units from Indonesia, whereas in 1995 almost no imports were recorded from Japan and 801 units were imported from Indonesia.
This change in pattern of trade is alleged to stem from a practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the existence of the anti-dumping duty. It is contended that circumvention through Indonesia consists of assembly operations and/or transshipments of REWS whereas most of the respective parts used in the assembly operation in and/or of the finished products transhipped through Indonesia are in fact originating in Japan and imported from TEC. It is also alleged that any savings in labour costs by assembling in/transhipping through Indonesia cannot offset the additional handling, supervising and transportation costs caused by these assembly operations and/or transhipments. Consequently, the operations in Indonesia would only serve to avoid the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of REWS originating in Japan in respect of TEC.
(b) Furthermore, the request contains evidence that the remedial effects of the antidumping duty are being undermined in terms of quantities and in particular of prices of the product exported from Indonesia. This is preventing the Community industry from achieving a reasonable profit which would allow it to keep up with the rapid pace of technological change in the electronic manufacturing industry.
(c) Finally, the request contains evidence which shows that the prices at which the REWS imported from Indonesia are being sold in the Community are lower than the non-dumped level of the export price established in the anti-dumping investigation for the REWS assembled in Japan.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) In the light of the evidence contained in the request, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 (3) of the Basic Regulation, and to make imports into the Community of REWS from Indonesia subject to registration in accordance with Article 14 (5) of the said Regulation.
(i) Questionnaires
(7) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to TEC as well as to the Indonesian company named in the request which allegedly is involved in assembly and/or transhipment operations. Information, as appropriate, may be sought from Community producers.
(8) Other interested parties which can show that they are likely to be affected by the outcome of the investigation, should request a questionnaire from the Commission within 15 days of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Any request for questionnaires must be made in writing to the address mentioned below, and should indicate the name, address, telephone and fax numbers of the requesting party.
The authorities of Japan and Indonesia will be notified of the initiation of the investigation and provided with a copy of the request.
(ii) Certificates of non-circumvention
(9) In accordance with Article 13 (4) of the Basic Regulation, certificates exempting the imports of the product concerned from registration or measures may be issued by the customs authorities to importers when the importation does not constitute circumvention.
Since the issue of these certificates requires the prior authorization of the Community institutions, requests for such authorizations should be addressed to the Commission as early as possible in the course of the investigation so that they may be considered on the basis of a thorough appraisal of their merits.
F. TIME LIMIT
(10) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigations, may make their views known in writing. A period should also be fixed within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
Furthermore, it should be stated that in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limit, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the Basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available,
An investigation pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 concerning imports into the Community from Indonesia of retail electronic weighing scales which incorporate a digital display of the weight, unit price and price to be paid, whether or not including a means of printing this data, falling within CN code ex 8423 81 50 (Taric code 8423 81 50*10), is hereby initiated.
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13 (3) and 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register imports from Indonesia of the product described in Article 1, in order to ensure that, should the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of retail electronic weighing scales originating in Japan with regard to TEC Corporation, Tokyo be extended to imports of this product from Indonesia, they may be collected from the date of such registration.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Imports shall not be subject to registration where they are accompanied by a customs certificate issued in accordance with Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96.
1. Interested parties must, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, make themselves known, present their views in writing, submit information and apply to be heard by the Commission within 40 days from the date of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This time limit applies to all interested parties, including the parties not named in the request, and it is consequently in the interest of these parties to contact the Commission without delay.
2. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
3. Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any application for authorization of certificates of non-circumvention should be sent to the following address:

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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1756/2002(2), and in particular Articles 3 and 9e(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC requires that no additive may be put into circulation unless a Community authorisation has been granted.
(2) In the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to Directive 70/524/EEC, which include acidity regulators, provisional authorisation of a new additive for use in feedingstuffs may be given if the conditions laid down in that Directive are satisfied, and if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a) of that Directive. Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period not exceeding four years.
(3) The assessment of the application for authorisation submitted, in respect of the acidity regulation preparation "Benzoic acid", shows that the conditions referred to in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied.
(4) The acidity regulation preparation "Benzoic acid" should therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a period of four years.
(5) The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion under certain conditions on the safety of the preparation, which belongs to the group "Acidity regulators", for pigs for fattening.
(6) The assessment of the application shows that certain procedures are required to protect workers from exposure to the additive "Benzoic acid". However, such protection is 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(3).
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The additive "Benzoic acid" belonging to the group "Acidity regulator" and referred to in the Annex is authorised for use as an additive in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid down in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas, in the rice sector, the conversion into national currency of import levies and export refunds by means of the agricultural conversion rate gives rise to deflections of trade with third countries; whereas, in order to remedy the situation, a conversion rate closer to economic reality should be applied;
Whereas the Commission's powers in the matter of import levies and export refunds include the power to introduce derogations within the meaning of Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85;
Whereas, for the purposes of administrative simplification, this conversion rate should be determined by means of a monetary coefficient, the calculation and application of which is based on the established practice for the calculation of monetary compenstory amounts;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Pursuant to Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85, a specific agricultural conversion rate shall be applied for the purposes of converting the import levy and export refund for rice into national currency.
2. The specific agricultural conversion rate shall be the agricultural conversion rate applicable to rice multiplied by a monetary coefficient.
3. However, as regards those Member States which maintain a maximum spread at any given time of 2,25 % between their currencies, the specific conversion rate shall be equal to the central rate for the currency concerned, multiplied by the correcting factor referred to in Article 6 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2502/86 (3).
1. The monetary coefficient shall be fixed on the basis of the real monetary gap within the meaning of the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85.
2. The provisions of Articles 2 and 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3153/85 of 11 November 1985 laying down detailed rules for the calculation of monetary compensatory amounts (4) shall apply by analogy.
1. The conversion rates calculated on the basis of the provisions of Article 1 shall be as set out in the Annex.
However, the said conversion rates have been fixed, subject to possible adjustment, pursuant to paragraph 2 before 3 November 1986.
2. If the percentage referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 differs by at least one percentage point from that referred to when the amounts were last fixed, the monetary coefficient to be applied in fixing the conversion rate referred to in Article 1 shall be altered by the Commission on the basis of the difference.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply, except in the case of imports effected under cover of licences issued before 10 October 1986, from 3 November 1986.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992 relating to the type-approval of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles(1), as last amended by Directive 2000/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/92/EEC of 29 October 1993 on the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on two- or three-wheel motor vehicles(3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 93/92/EEC is one of the separate Directives of the Community type-approval procedure introduced by Directive 92/61/EEC. The provisions of Directive 92/61/EEC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to that Directive.
(2) Developments in technology now permit an adaptation of Directive 93/92/EEC to technical progress. In order to enable the full type-approval system to function properly, it is therefore necessary to clarify or supplement certain requirements of the Directive concerned.
(3) To this end, it should be specified that lighting devices type-approved for vehicles in categories M1 and N1, in accordance with the relevant directives, may also be installed on two- or three-wheel motor vehicles. Provision should also be made to permit the optional installation of front fog lamps, rear fog lamps, reversing lamps and hazard warning devices on three-wheel mopeds and light quadricycles. Directive 93/92/EEC should be supplemented with the appropriate instructions for installing these devices. The wording of certain points in the English and Dutch versions should be aligned on the corresponding points in the other language versions.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress set up under Article 13 of Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers(4), as last amended by Directive 2000/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5),
Annexes II to VI to Directive 93/92/EEC are hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. With effect from 1 January 2002, Member States may not, on grounds relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices:
- refuse to grant EC type-approval for a type of two- or three-wheel motor vehicle, or
- prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles,
if the installation of the lighting and light-signalling devices complies with the requirements of Directive 93/92/EEC, as amended by this Directive.
2. With effect from 1 July 2002, Member States shall refuse to grant EC type-approval for any new type of two- or three-wheel motor vehicle on grounds relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices if the requirements of Directive 93/92/EEC, as amended by this Directive, are not fulfilled.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, no later than 31 December 2001, the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those provisions from I January 2002.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provisions of national law that they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(1999/686/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 92 and 93 thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having given notice to the other Member States and the parties concerned to submit their comments within a stated period, in accordance with Article 93(2) of the EC Treaty,
Whereas:
I
On 30 July 1997 the Commission initiated the procedure provided for in Article 93(2) of the EC Treaty with regard to the provisions of the 26th framework plan of the joint Federal Government/Länder scheme for improving regional economic structures concerning the intensities of aid to promote teleworking (section II, point 2.4). Germany was informed of the decision by letter dated 18 August 1997 (SG(97) D/7104). The other Member States and interested parties were invited to submit their comments by way of publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(1).
Germany submitted its observations by letter dated 17 September 1997. The Commission received no comments from third parties or the other Member States.
II
The joint (Federal Government/Länder) scheme for improving regional economic structures (Gemeinschaftsaufgabe "Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur") is the main regional aid scheme in Germany. The relevant provisions implementing this general scheme during certain periods are laid down in so-called framework plans (Rahmenpläne). The 26th framework plan, covering the period 1997-2000 (2001), was notified to the Commission on 19 February 1997 pursuant to Article 93(3). The Commission approved all the amendments introduced by this plan, except those relating to the promotion of investment in teleworking. Germany informed the Commission that the plan would not be implemented until the Commission had given its approval.
Under the plan, investment in teleworking jobs would be eligible for regional investment aid provided that both the company investing and the place where the teleworker would be located are in an assisted area. The maximum aid intensity would be established according to the region where the investing company to which the teleworking job will be linked is located. Consequently, in cases where a company located in an assisted area falling under Article 92(3)(a) invested in teleworking jobs in an area falling under Article 92(3)(c), the aid intensity for the Article 92(3)(a) region would apply. The maximum aid intensity in the regions of eastern Germany falling under Article 92(3)(a) is 35 % gross (50 % in case of investments by SMEs); in assisted areas of western Germany falling under Article 92(3)(c), the maximum permissible aid intensity is 18 % gross (28 % in case of investment by SMEs).
The Commission, in opening the procedure, noted that the principal aim of the provisions governing regional investment aid is to promote job creation, improve incomes and foster demand in disadvantaged regions and that, consequently, the maximum aid intensities for investment aid should be determined by reference to the region where the investment was located and the teleworking carried out. It also took the view that the possibility of promoting teleworking jobs in an Article 92(3)(c) region to the same extent as in an Article 92(3)(a) region could mean that the intended incentive effect in the most disadvantaged regions would not be achieved through this type of investment.
III
Germany is of the opinion that investment in teleworking jobs would be most effective in the area where the investing company is located. Therefore, such investment should always qualify for the aid intensities permissible in the area where the investor, and not the job, is located, provided that both areas are assisted area. Companies located in an Article 92(3)(c) assisted area and investing in teleworking jobs in Article 92(3)(a) areas would consequently benefit only from the lower intensity applicable at their place of establishment.
Germany also maintains that there is no risk of aid being diverted from an Article 92(3)(a) area to an Article 92(3)(c) area. Since aid for investment in different Länder would always necessiatate the cooperation of, and co-financing from, at least two Länder, the competent authority in the Article 92(3)(a) area could always make sure that no aid was abusively diverted in favour of job creation in the other Land.
Lastly, Germany argued that the positive impact of teleworking on innovation and competitiveness would invariably benefit the investing company, with the amount of investment at the location of the teleworking job generally being rather limited. If certain services supplied by specialised workers were not available in an Article 92(3)(a) area, a company investing in such an area would be obliged to offer them the opportunity to work at their place of residence in an Article 92(3)(c) area in order to obtain their services.
IV
The provision whereby aid intensities for investment in teleworking jobs that exceed the maximum level are allowed in the region where the teleworking job would be located cannot be deemed compatible with the common market. The particularly high aid intensities permissible with a view to promoting regional development in disadvantaged areas falling under Article 92(3)(a) are designed to provide and effective remedy for the abnormally low standard of living and serious level of underemployment in those areas. Consenquently, only measures that contribute towards a higher standard of living and job creation in an Article 92(3)(a) area are eligible for investment aid up to an intensity permissible solely for such an area. Investment made by companies in such disadvantaged areas with a view to installing the technical equipment and links for teleworking jobs in another assisted area eligible only for assistance under Article 92(3)(c) does not increase the level of employment and the general standard of living in the Article 92(3)(a) area. Employment increases only in the area where the employee is located and the main impact on regional per capita GDP is felt primarily at the location where the employee spends his income.
It is true that access to skilled manpower can be a crucial factor determining the innovativeness and competitiveness of companies investing in Article 92(3)(a) regions. If such specialists are not available on the local job market and cannot be tempted to move from other areas by the offer of attractive wages, teleworking opportunities are clarly an option for connecting the company to resources that already exist in more developed areas.
However, the main impact this has on regional per capita GDP and on the level of employment would be felt in regions where the teleworker is located, provided there is no serious underemployment, and where he spends his income. This observation forms the basis for the Commission recommendation on promoting teleworking in disadvantaged regions so as to enable employees to offer their services to companies in more developed regions without leaving their place of residence. In this way, the population in disadvantaged regions could be stabilised and regional GDP increased by the teleworker's income(2).
Germany apparently assumes that the authorities in an Article 92(3)(a) region would always expect from the authorities in the region where the job was to be located a contribution towards investment aid reflecting the scale of investment undertaken there.
The provision in question would therefore allow Article 92(3)(c) regions to grant aid for promoting teleworking jobs in their region at an intensity permissible only in Article 92(3)(a) regions. Such an option would, however, diminish the intended incentive effect of the increased level of investment aid in the most disadvantaged regions and could contribute towards a scenario whereby investment would go primarily into jobs for less skilled employees while better skilled employees who, because of their position on the labour market, have no need to move to a less attractive area would remain in more developed regions. As a result, it would mainly be persons earning above average wages and with skills in the engineering, software, management and consultancy sectors who would have no incentive to move to disadvantaged regions and thereby to contribute towards a balanced socio-economic development of those regions.
V
The Commission therefore concludes that the provision of the 26th framework plan of the joint scheme for improving regional economic structures that permits aid intensities for investments in teleworking jobs in excess of the maximum intensity allowed in the region where the relevant job would be located is not compatible with the common market and should not, therefore, be put into effect,
In so far as it permits aid intensities for investments in teleworking jobs in excess of the maximum intensity in the region where a teleworking job is to be located, the 26th framework plan of the joint scheme (Gemeinschaftsaufgabe) for improving regional economic structures is not compatible with the common market.
The arrangement referred to in Article 1 shall not be implemented. Germany shall recover any aid that may have been granted while the arrangement described in Article 1 was being provisionally applied. Repayment shall be made in accordance with the procedures and provisions of German law, together with interest, based on the interest rate used as reference rate in the assessment of regional aid schemes, running from the date on which the aid was granted (and including that date).
Germany shall inform the Commission within two months of being notified of this Decision of the measures taken to comply herewith.
