(ECB/2014/52)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 19.1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 19.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank provides that the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) may establish regulations concerning the calculation and determination of the required minimum reserves. The details on the application of minimum reserves are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2003/9) (3).
(2) On 3 July 2014 the Governing Council decided to change the frequency of its monetary policy meetings from a four-week cycle to a six-week cycle as of 1 January 2015 and to extend the reserve maintenance periods from four weeks to six weeks accordingly.
(3) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), the maintenance period is the period over which compliance with reserve requirements is calculated and for which such minimum reserves must be held on reserve accounts.
(4) The change in the length of the maintenance periods does not affect calculation of the amount of minimum reserves to be fulfilled during a maintenance period for institutions that are subject to the full reporting requirements under Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2013/33) (4). Such institutions calculate, as before, the reserve base in respect of a particular maintenance period on the basis of data under Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) that relates to the month two months prior to the month within which the maintenance period starts. On the other hand, the change in the length of the maintenance periods does affect calculation of the amount of minimum reserves for institutions that report data on a quarterly basis under Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33), as the quarterly period will now comprise two maintenance periods.
(5) Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) should be amended accordingly,
Amendments
Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) is amended as follows:
1. Article 3(4) is replaced by the following:
2. Article 7(1) is replaced by the following:
3. in Articles 3(1), 3(3), 4(1), 5(5), 10(6), 11, 13a(1)(b) the reference to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) is replaced by a reference to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33);
4. in Articles 5(3) and 13(4) the reference to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) is replaced by a reference to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33);
5. in Article 13(2) the reference to Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2423/2001 (ECB/2001/13) is replaced by a reference to Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33).

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), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.

(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons, table grapes and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds.

Whereas, provided that the Lebanese Republic levies a special charge on exports of such oil, the said special arrangements provide for a standard abatement of 0 750 unit of account per 100 kilograms of the levy applicable to such oil and a reduction of the said levy by an amount equal to the special charge but not exceeding four units of account per 100 kilograms;
Whereas, in accordance with the Agreement, the special charge on exports should be reflected in the price of the oil upon importation into the Community ; whereas, in order to ensure the correct application of the arrangements in question, the necessary measures should be adopted to ensure that the special charge on exports is paid at the latest when the oil is imported,
Where the Lebanese Republic levies the special charge on exports of olive oil, other than olive oil which has undergone a refining process, falling within subheading 15.07 A I of the Common Customs Tariff, wholly obtained in Lebanon and transported direct from that country to the Community, the levy applicable to imports of the said oil into the Community shall be the levy calculated in accordance with Article 13 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1707/73 (4), or that resulting from the tendering procedure provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2843/76 of 23 November 1976 laying down special measures in particular for the determination of the offers of olive oil on the world market (5), less: - 0 750 unit of account per 100 kilograms, and

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/71 of 21 June 1971 (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee established by Article 3 of that Regulation,
Whereas imports of textile products on the Community market have during recent years given rise to market disturbance and are causing serious damage to Community producers resulting in the closure of factories and considerable loss of employment;
Whereas, in consequence of this situation, imports of certain textile products originating in the majority of low-cost supplier countries are at present subject to a Community system of authorization and quantitative limitation;
Whereas imports into the Community of T-shirts (category 4) originating in Turkey in the first two months of 1984 have already reached 43 % of imports of 1983, which represents an increase of 58 % compared with the same period in 1983;
Whereas imports into the Community of trousers (category 6) originating in Turkey in the first two months of 1984 have already reached 25 % of imports of 1983, which represents an increase of 43 % compared with the same period in 1983;
Whereas imports into the Community of knickers (category 13) originating in Turkey in the first two months of 1984 have already reached 22 % of imports of 1983, which represents an increase of 122 % compared with the same period in 1983;
Whereas imports into the Community of outer garments (category 83) originating in Turkey in the first two months of 1984 have already reached 39 % of imports of 1983, which represents an increase of 131 % compared with the same period in 1983;
Whereas the extremely rapid increase in recent months of imports into the Community of T-shirts, trousers, knickers, bed linen and other outer garments originating in Turkey, have helped to exacerbate the cumulative disturbance of these markets and that, in 1982 and 1983 the Community was obliged to submit, particularly, the import of T-shirts, trousers and other outer garments to Community or regional quantitative restrictions;
Whereas the volume of this increase makes it necessary to take immediate action aimed at avoiding irreparable damage to Community producers; whereas it therefore justifies the adoption, pursuant to Article 60 of the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, of the safeguard measures needed to overcome these difficulties;
Whereas imports into France of dresses (category 26) originating in Turkey in the first two months of 1984 have already reached 31 % of imports of 1983, which represents an increase of 207 % compared with the same period in 1983;
Whereas imports into the United Kingdom of category 32 textile products covered by NIMEXE code 58.04-69 originating in Turkey in the first two months of 1984 have already reached 23 % of imports of 1983, which represents an increase of 135 % compared with the same period in 1983;
Whereas the extremely rapid increase in recent months of imports into France of dresses and into the United Kingdom of velvet originating in Turkey have helped to exacerbate the cumulative disturbance of those markets;
Whereas the volume of this increase and the United Kingdom and French request make it necessary to make immediate action aimed at avoiding irreparable damage to United Kingdom and French producers and a serious deterioration in the economic situation of those regions of the Community; whereas it therefore justifies the adoption, pursuant to Article 60 of the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, of the safeguard measures needed to overcome these difficulties,
1. The importation into the Community of the textile products of categories 4, 6, 13 and 83 listed in the Annex originating in Turkey, shall be subject, until 31 December 1984 to the quantitative limits fixed therein.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) As from 1 May 2004, 10 new Member States have joined the European Union. Article 6(7) of the 2003 Act of Accession establishes that the new Member States are to apply the common trade policy concerning textiles and that the quantitative restrictions applied by the Community on imports of textile and clothing products are to be adjusted to take account of the accession of the new Member States to the Community.
(2) With effect from 1 May 2004, Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 (1) was last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 487/2004 (2). It adjusted the quantitative limits for imports of certain textile products from third countries into the enlarged Community, taking into account traditional imports into the 10 new Member States and using a formula of the average imports of years 2000 to 2002 adjusted pro rata temporis. This same methodology should now be applied to adjust the quantitative limits for imports of certain textile products from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) It is desirable for this Regulation to enter into force on the day after its publication in order to allow operators to benefit from it as soon as possible,
In Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, the Community quantitative limits for Vietnam for 2004 set out in Annex V and in Annex VII to that Regulation shall be replaced by the Community quantitative limits set out in Part A and Part B of the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas, to offset reductions in prices when expressed in national currency, and resulting farm income losses suffered in Germany because of the adaptation of agricultural conversion rates from 1988/89 onwards in accordance with Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1678/85 of 11 June 1985 fixing the conversion rates to be applied in agriculture (2) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3765/88 (3), Article 2a of that Regulation stipulates that a special national aid may be paid to German farmers from 1 January 1989 onwards;
Whereas Article 1 of Decision 88/402/EEC laid down conditions and detailed rules governing the payment of this special national aid; whereas the Commission has responsibility to verify that measures adopted for the implementation of the aid scheme comply with the said provisions;
Whereas on 28 October 1988 the Federal Republic of Germany notified to the Commission a draft Law entitled 'Gesetz zur Foerderung der baeuerlichen Landwirtschaft', one purpose of which is to introduce the aid scheme; whereas the national provisions put forward in this respect comply with the conditions laid down in Article 1 of Decision 88/402/EEC and may therefore be approved, with the exception of the rule allowing for the grant of aid for farmland attracting aid under the arable land set-aside scheme instituted by Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1137/88 (5); whereas such a combination of aids could well lead to overruns beyond the ceilings set for the aids granted under the said scheme;
Whereas the Commission must be in a position to monitor closely the practical implementation of the aid scheme, as any subsequent change, notably as regards the unit amount approved, cannot be made without Commission endorsement,
The provisions set out in the draft Law entitled 'Gesetz zur Foerderung der baeuerlichen Landwirtschaft', notified by the Federal Republic of Germany on 28 October 1988, are hereby found to be, in so far as they concern the aids provided for therein, in compliance with the conditions set out in Article 1 of Decision 88/402/EEC, and are therefore hereby approved, subject to the following reservations:
(a) any subsequent adjustment to the unit amount under Section 3 (2) of the Law may not be such as to lead to an amount per hectare exceeding DM 90;
(b) farmland attracting aid under Article 1a of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 may not rank for consideration for grant of the aids referred to in this Decision.
Before 1 April of each year, the Federal Republic of Germany shall submit to the Commission a report on the operation during the preceding year of the aid scheme referred to in Article 1, and in particular on actual expenditure disbursed in this connection.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2) and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2681/74 of 21 October 1974 on Community financing of expenditure incurred in respect of the supply of agricultural products as food aid (3) lays down that the portion of the expenditure corresponding to the export refunds on the products in question fixed under Community rules is to be charged to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section.
(2) In order to make it easier to draw up and manage the budget for Community food aid actions and to enable the Member States to know the extent of Community participation in the financing of national food aid actions, the level of the refunds granted for these actions should be determined.
(3) The general and implementing rules provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 on export refunds are applicable mutatis mutandis to the abovementioned operations.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (1), and in particular Article 25(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex VIII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (2) sets out the specific conditions which apply to imports of breeding and productive poultry other than ratites and to imports of hatching eggs and day-old chicks other than ratites.
(2) Point 2 of Part II of that Annex provides that, where day-old chicks are not reared in the Member State which imported the hatching eggs, they are to be transported directly to the final destination and kept there for at least three weeks from the date of hatching. That requirement is reflected in Part I of the relevant model veterinary certificate for day-old chicks laid down in Annex IV to Directive 2009/158/EC.
(3) Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 sets out the specific conditions which apply to imports of ratites for breeding and production, hatching eggs and day-old chicks thereof. Those specific conditions do not currently include a similar provision concerning ratites as the one included for poultry in point 2 of Part II of Annex VIII to that Regulation.
(4) Experience in the application of that provision concerning poultry shows that it is appropriate to extend it also to day-old chicks of ratites.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, in Part II, point 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3. Ratites which have hatched from imported hatching eggs shall be kept for a period of at least three weeks from the date of hatching in the hatchery or for at least three weeks on the establishment(s) to which they have been sent after hatching.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Community has undertaken, within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), to open an annual Community tariff quota at a rate of duty of 20 % for 2 250 tonnes of frozen buffalo meat falling within subheading 0202 30 90 of the combined nomenclature; whereas this quota should therefore be opened for 1988;
Whereas there should be a guarantee of equal and continuing access by all interested traders within the Community to the said quota and of uninterrupted application of the rate laid down for that quota, to all imports of the product in question, in all the Member States, up to the limit of the volume of the quota; whereas it seems appropriate, to this end, to set up a system of use of the Community tariff quota, based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the nature of the product, where it is imported from and its origin;
Whereas the detailed rules to implement these provisions should be drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3905/87 (4),
1. A Community tariff quota for frozen buffalo meat falling within subheading 0202 30 90 of the combined nomenclature shall be opened for 1988.
The total volume of this quota shall be 2 250 tonnes.
2. Under this quota the applicable duty of the Common Customs Tariff shall be fixed at 20 %.
Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, and in particular:
(a) provisions to guarantee the nature of product, where it is coming from and its origin;
(b) provisions concerning recognition of the document to enable verification of the guarantee referred to in (a).

Whereas recourse to the option to process products withdrawn from the market, with a view to distributing free of charge products obtained from such processing, was limited by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1560/70 3 of 31 July 1970 to processing into juice;
Whereas, if this option seems unlikely to provide sufficient outlets for products withdrawn from the market, provision should be made for processing tomatoes into a product other than juice;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 7b (3) of Regulation No 159/66/EEC provides that contracts for the processing of fruit and vegetables should be granted to industry by a tendering procedure by the agency appointed by the Member State concerned ; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1560/70 specified the procedure for awarding contracts in respect of such operations ; whereas it would be appropriate to use that procedure when contracts in respect of the processing operations dealt with in this Regulation are being awarded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables;
The processing operations referred to in the fifth indent of (a) in the first subparagraph of Article 7b (1) of Regulation No 159/66/EEC may also apply to the processing of tomatoes into concentrated tomato purée.
The agency appointed by the Member State concerned shall award these contracts for processing to industry by means of a standing invitation to tender in accordance with the conditions laid down in Articles 2 to 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1560/70.
For the purposes of the present Regulation the provisions of that Regulation which refer to juice should be understood as referring to concentrated tomato purée.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of 17 December 2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Article 110(2) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 provides for a common monitoring and evaluation framework for measuring the performance of the common agricultural policy (CAP). For the application of that framework, rules need to be laid down which ensure a comprehensive and regular assessment of the progress, effectiveness and efficiency of the CAP against objectives. In order to allow Member States and the Commission to put in place a consistent monitoring and evaluation framework, a set of common indicators as referred to in Article 110(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 should be laid down.
(2) Those indicators should be linked to the structure and objectives of the CAP and be based on measurable elements. Therefore, different types of indicators should be laid down in order to allow for the assessment of the CAP at all levels. Impact indicators should reflect the common main objectives of the CAP as set out in Article 110(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013. For each of those common main objectives more specific objectives can be identified, for which result indicators need to be laid down. Those specific objectives include farm income and farm income variability, improvement of the competitiveness of the agricultural sector, market stability, consumer expectations, provision of public goods and environmental preservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation and maintenance of a diverse agriculture, as well as the specific objectives defined for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), namely the Union priorities for rural development. In addition, the practical implementation of the CAP instruments should be monitored on the basis of output indicators that are able to reflect this operational level of the CAP.
(3) It is important to ensure that the monitoring and evaluation framework can be used by Member States and the Commission efficiently and at the appropriate time. It should therefore be provided that Member States send the information necessary for the monitoring and evaluation of the CAP within the deadlines set by the relevant Regulations. With a view to avoiding any undue administrative burden, the Commission should, to the extent possible, use information already made available to it,
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Indicators
The indicators allowing for the assessment of the progress, effectiveness and efficiency of the common agricultural policy (CAP) against its objectives as referred to in Article 110(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 shall be measurable. Those indicators shall include:
(a) impact indicators, as specified in Section 1 of the Annex to this Regulation, reflecting the areas where the CAP is expected to have an influence;
(b) result indicators, as specified in Section 2 of the Annex to this Regulation, reflecting the main achievements of:
(i) Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2);
(ii) Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013;
(iii) Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3); and
(iv) Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4);
(c) output indicators, as specified in Section 3 of the Annex to this Regulation, reflecting the implementation of related CAP instruments;
(d) context indicators, as referred to in Section 4 of the Annex to this Regulation, reflecting relevant aspects of the general contextual trends that are likely to have an influence on the implementation, achievements and performance of the CAP.
Result indicators, output indicators and context indicators relevant for the monitoring and evaluation of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) shall be as set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 808/2014. (5).
Provision of information
1. Member States shall provide the Commission with the information necessary for the purpose of monitoring and evaluating the performance of the CAP within the deadlines for reporting and notifications of information relating to the operation of CAP instruments as provided for in Regulations (EU) No 1305/2013, (EU) No 1306/2013, (EU) No 1307/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013. That information shall be accurate and reliable.
2. For the purposes of the common monitoring and evaluation framework the Commission shall use, to the extent possible, the following information already made available by Member States via existing tools for information exchange:
(a) information, notifications and reports made available to the Commission in relation to the implementation of the instruments operating within the CAP and to the implementation of relevant Union environmental legislation;
(b) information made available to the Commission for the purposes of the clearance of accounts;
(c) information made available to Eurostat.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1557/84 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas, according to Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, measures other than those provided for in Article 6 of the said Regulation may be taken to facilitate the disposal of butter where surpluses occur or threaten to occur;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84 (4), provided for the sale at reduced prices of butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs;
Whereas the confectionery products referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 should be more clearly defined;
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 of 13 July 1981 on the granting of aid for butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84, lays down a time limit of two months for the processing of butter into concentrated butter; whereas experience of the application of this provision shows that an extension of the said time limit to three months can make the system more flexible without reducing its efficiency;
Whereas the second paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84 lays down that the provisions of that Regulation are to apply from a certain date; whereas that provision refers to 'sales' although the term used in the Regulation is 'sale by tender'; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend that provision;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Point 1 of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 is hereby replaced by the following:
'1. Formula A:

The milkfat content by weight, calculated in terms of dry matter, of the products listed in (b), or of components of such products qualifying for aid is not less than 4 % and less than 26 %. This milkfat content by weight must be indicated on the outer packaging in which the product is dispatched.'
The second subparagraph of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 is hereby replaced by the following:
'The manufacture of the concentrated butter referred to in Article 1 (2) (b) must take place within a period of three months calculated from the closing date for the submission of the individual tenders concerned.'
The second paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2288/84 is hereby replaced by the following:

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (4), fixes detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.
(2) It results from regular monitoring of the information providing the basis for the verification of the import prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin that the representative prices for imports of certain products should be amended taking into account variations of prices according to origin. Therefore, representative prices should be published.
(3) It is necessary to apply this amendment as soon as possible, given the situation on the market.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
(1) Whereas new information has been published in the United Kingdom further supporting the hypothesis that exposure to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent is linked to the new variant of Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease (CJD) in humans; whereas on 16 September 1997 the Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC) of the United Kingdom concluded that recent research provided compelling new evidence that the agent which causes BSE is identical to the agent which causes the new variant of CJD in humans; whereas on 18 September 1997 the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) concluded that the BSE agent should now be classified as a human pathogen under Directive 90/425/EEC, the Member State of origin or dispatch is required to implement on its territory the appropriate measures to prevent all situations likely to constitute a serious hazard to animals or to human health;
(2) Whereas, pursuant to Council Directive 82/894/EEC (4), as last amended by Commission Decision 98/12/EC (5), Member States have since 1990 been obliged to notify all cases of BSE to the Commission and to the other Member States;
(3) Whereas pursuant to Council Directive 91/68/EEC (6), as last amended by Commission Decision 94/953/EC (7), since 1993 scrapie must be an officially notifiable disease in all Member States;
(4) Whereas the Scientific Veterinary Committee has stated on the basis of its risk assessment that several Member States including the United Kingdom have reported scrapie in native-born sheep, that the presence of scrapie cannot be excluded in any Member State where sheep are present and that only a thorough epidemiological investigation conducted to common standards will give the necessary information about the scrapie status of each country;
(5) Whereas inspections were carried out in Member States in 1996 and 1997 to check the implementation of Community measures on BSE; whereas the results of those inspections have revealed certain deficiencies, in particular in surveillance and implementation of the prohibition on use of mammalian protein in ruminant feed;
(6) Whereas in view of previous trade in certain products, in particular meat and bone meal and live animals, the possible presence of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agents cannot be ruled out in any of the Member States, subject to further scientific evaluation;
(7) Whereas the World Organisation for Animal Health (Office International des Epizooties (OIE)) in its international animal health code on bovine spongiform encephalopathy of May 1997 has recommended minimum requirements for effective surveillance; whereas the OIE has adopted guidelines for continuous surveillance and monitoring of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in its Code of January 1997;
(8) Whereas the Scientific Veterinary Committee in its report on surveillance of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies of 11 June 1997 has laid down guidelines taking account of the recommendations of the OIE;
(9) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with that opinion and represent a harmonised approach towards effective TSE surveillance in the Member States; whereas more detailed rules will be laid down in Council legislation based on Article 100a of the Treaty;
(10) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision will be applied in conjunction with Commission Decision 97/534/EC of 30 July 1997 on the prohibition of the use of material presenting risks as regards transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (8), as last amended by Council Decision 98/248/EC (9);
(11) Whereas investigation requirements for ante-mortem inspection in slaughterhouses of bovine animals were laid down in Commission Decision 94/474/EC (10), as last amended by Council Decision 98/256/EC (11); whereas those requirements are now set out in this Decision; whereas, therefore, the corresponding provisions of Decision 94/474/EEC should be deleted;
(12) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Member States shall ensure that staff of the competent authority, of diagnostic laboratories and colleges of agriculture and veterinary medicine, official veterinarians, veterinary practitioners, slaughterhouse personnel and animal breeders, keepers and handler have the knowledge of the clinical signs, epidemiology and, as appropriate, laboratory findings relating to TSEs.
1. Member States shall ensure that it is compulsory for the suspected presence of any TSE in any animal to be notified immediately to the competent veterinary authority.
2. BSE shall be suspected in bovine animals aged over 20 months displaying behavioural or neurological signs where the disease cannot be ruled out either on the basis of response treatment or following laboratory examination.
3. Scrapie shall be suspected in ovine and caprine animals aged over 12 months displaying behavioural or neurological signs where the disease cannot be ruled out either on the basis of response to treatment or following laboratory examination.
1. Any animal which shows clinical signs giving rise to the suspicion of a TSE shall be placed under official movement restrictions pending the outcome of a clinical and epidemiological investigation by the competent authority.
2. Where the competent authority decides that the possibility of infection with a TSE cannot be ruled out, the animal shall be killed and its brain and such other tissues as the competent authority may determine shall be removed and sent to an approved laboratory for testing for the presence of TSE using the methods set out in Article 5. The carcase and remaining internal organs of the animal shall be retained under official supervision until a diagnosis has been made or until it has been destroyed in accordance with Article 4 of Decision 97/534/EC.
1. In order to give early warning of the emergence or occurrence of BSE or scrapie, each Member State shall carry out an annual programme of monitoring in accordance with the conditions laid down in the Annex.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission and the Member States, within the Standing Veterinary Committee, of the results obtained from the monitoring programme and of the emergence of TSEs other than BSE or scrapie. The information shall be presented by way of an annual report, submitted to the Commission within three months after the end of each year. It shall at least cover the information referred to in the Annex.
1. Sampling and laboratory testing for the presence of a TSE shall be carried out using the methods and protocols laid down in the Manual of Standards for Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines of the World Organisation for Animal Health (Office International des Epizooties), May 1997 edition. The tests performed shall at least comprise histopathology examination of brain tissue. The competent authority may also require the use of other laboratory tests such as immunocytochemic and immunodiagnostic tests for the detection of scrapie associated fibrils (SAFs), where their use is considered appropriate.
2. The competent authority shall ensure coordination of diagnostic methods and protocols between the laboratories approved for testing for the presence of TSEs and verify the use of those diagnostic methods and protocols.
Community inspections may be carried out, in particular where the annual report is not submitted in accordance with Article 4(2).
Article 2 of Decision 94/474/EC is hereby deleted.
This Decision shall apply from 1 May 1998.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78, from 1 May 1987 undertakings which process fodder may draw their supplies from middlemen who have concluded contracts with producers; whereas the general rules of the aid scheme for dried fodder laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1417/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 943/87 (4), should therefore be amended accordingly by rewording Article 7 and by specifying the safeguards which the middlemen in question must provide,

of 30 September 2003
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 32/82(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 744/2000(4), Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2772/2000(6), Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92(8), Regulation (EEC) No 2973/79(9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3434/87(10), and Regulation (EC) No 2051/96(11), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2333/96(12), lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef and veal products, and for certain destinations.
(3) It follows from applying those rules and criteria to the foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that the refund should be as set out below.
(4) With regard to live animals, for reasons of simplification export refunds should no longer be granted for categories with insignificant trade with third countries. Moreover, in light of the general concern of animal welfare, export refunds for live animals for slaughter should be limited as much as possible. Consequently, export refunds for such animals should only be granted for third countries which for cultural and/or religious reasons traditionally import substantial numbers of animals for domestic slaughter. As to live animals for reproduction, in order to prevent any abuse export refunds for pure-bred breeding animals should be limited to heifers and cows of no more than 30 months of age.
(5) Export refunds should be granted for certain destinations on some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0202, on some meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 0206 and on some other prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 1602 50 10.
(6) In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or boneless, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to Switzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refund should be set to cover the difference between prices on the Swiss market and export prices in the Member States.
(7) In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat or offal shown in the Annex under CN codes 1602 50 31 to 1602 50 80, the Community presence of international trade may be maintained by granting a refund corresponding to that at present available.
(8) In the case of other beef and veal products, a refund need not be fixed since the Community's share of world trade is not significant.
(9) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(13), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(14), establishes the agricultural product nomenclature for the purposes of export refunds.
(10) In order to simplify customs export formalities for operators, the refunds on all frozen cuts should be brought into line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other than those from adult male bovine animals.
(11) Checks on products covered by CN code 1602 50 should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds on these products conditional on manufacture under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products(15), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 444/2003(16).
(12) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC(17), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(18), Council Directive 94/65/EC(19), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003, and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(20), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(21), respectively.
(13) Under Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82, the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(14) The negotiations on the adoption of additional concessions, held within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and the associated central and eastern European Countries, aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market in beef and veal. To this end, it was decided to abolish export refunds on products intended for export to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia. These countries should therefore be excluded from the list of destinations giving rise to the grant of a refund, while ensuring that the abolition of refunds for these countries may not lead to the creation of a differentiated refund for exports to other countries.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The list of products on which export refunds as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 are granted and the amount thereof and the destinations shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The products must meet the relevant health marking requirements of:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 91/00 shall be reduced by EUR 14,00/100 kg.
The fact that no refund has been fixed for exports to Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia shall not be considered to mean that there is a differentiated refund.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 October 2003.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 10(3) and the first subparagraph of Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (2), and in particular the fourth indent of Article 18(1),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 (3) lays down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds other than poultry into the Community and the quarantine conditions applicable to such birds after import.
(2) Annex V to that Regulation sets out a list of quarantine facilities and centres approved by the competent authorities of the Member States for import of certain birds other than poultry.
(3) The Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom have reviewed their approved quarantine facilities and centres and have sent an updated list of those quarantine facilities and centres to the Commission. The list of approved quarantine facilities and centres set out in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 63 thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 167 and Article 170 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 162 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 products listed in that article to be exported with or without further processing may be eligible to export refunds if they comply with specific conditions laid down in Article 167 of the said Regulation. Moreover, Article 167(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 gives the possibility to the Commission to establish further conditions for the granting of export refunds for one or more products. Those conditions are currently laid down in the Council regulations on the common organisation of the market in the sectors listed in Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Since those regulations are to be repealed pursuant to Article 201 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, horizontal provisions should be established as from the dates of application of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as provided for in Article 204 of that Regulation.
(2) Horizontal provisions already exist in Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (3). It is therefore appropriate to adapt that Regulation in order to establish the conditions referred to in Article 167(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Council regulations on the common organisation of the markets in the poultry, eggs, pigmeat and rice sectors enabled eligibility to export refunds for non-Community originating products which were imported and subsequently exported while they were not sufficiently processed within the meaning of Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (4). The refunds in that case are limited to the import duties paid and in addition the exporter had to prove that import and export products are one and the same. As the application of the rule is cumbersome and of very low practical use, from a point of view of simplification and harmonisation it should not be maintained.
(4) Community origin as a prerequisite for eligibility to export refunds is an important safeguard against abuse of the Community budget. In particular, it is aimed at preventing diversion of trade in the form of import operations which would have no commercial purpose related to the placing of goods on the EU market, but which would be motivated solely by the opportunity to collect export refunds upon export. This safeguard has been in place for the cereals, rice, beef and veal, milk and milk products, pigmeat, eggs and poultrymeat and should be maintained. In the interest of continuous protection against abuse of the Community budget, a horizontal provision covering all sectors listed in Article 162 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is necessary.
(5) As regards sugar, with a view to organising flow of supplies to refineries throughout the Community, special preferential arrangement for access to the Community market has been introduced in the successive common market organisations for sugar, allowing the refining industry to import on special terms certain quantities of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States party to Protocol No 3 to Annex IV to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement and in India and other States under agreements with those States. This preferential import arrangement has been implemented within the framework of the common organisation of the market in sugar. Consequently, Article 27(12) (b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (5) provided that refunds had to be granted for the products imported under this arrangement. Following the same approach, the Council decided that the proof of Community origin had not to be required for eligibility of refunds under the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector established by Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (6). The requirement of Community origin should therefore not apply to the sugar sector.
(6) Pursuant to the abolition of export refunds for some products, the list of products for which the refunds has to be fixed on the basis of an ingredient when compound products qualify for a refund became shorter. It is therefore appropriate to mention only the remaining products in this respect.
(7) The requirement of Community origin in the cereals sector has already been laid down in Article 12 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 (7). For the sake of transparency and rationalisation this requirement should be replaced by the horizontal provision establishing the requirement of Community origin.
(8) Regulations (EC) No 1501/95 and (EC) No 800/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 is deleted.
Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(a) for the products of the sectors referred to in Article 162(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (8);
(b) provided for in Article 63 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 (9).
2. Article 11 is replaced by the following:
(a) materials originating in the Community; and
(b) agricultural materials covered by the regulations referred to in Article 1 imported from third countries which did not undergo a substantial processing in the Community.
(a) products of the cereals, eggs, rice, sugar, milk and milk products sectors, exported in the form of goods referred to in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 (10);
(b) white sugar and raw sugar falling within CN code 1701, isoglucose falling within CN codes 1702 30 10, 1702 40 10, 1702 60 10 and 1702 90 30 and beet and cane syrups falling within CN codes 1702 60 95 and 1702 90 95, used in products listed in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96;
(c) milk and milk products and sugar exported in the form of products falling within CN codes 0402 10 91 to 99, 0402 29, 0402 99, 0403 10 31 to 39, 0403 90 31 to 39, 0403 90 61 to 69, 0404 10 26 to 38, 0404 10 72 to 84 and 0404 90 81 to 89 and exported in the form of products falling within CN code 0406 30 which are not products originating in Member States or products coming from third countries which are in free circulation in Member States.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However, it shall apply:
(a) as regards the cereals, beef and veal, pigmeat, milk and milk products, eggs and poultrymeat sectors, from 1 July 2008;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2002(3).
(2) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1948/2002(5), allows the Commission to fix, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and on the basis of the tenders submitted, a maximum export refund. In fixing this maximum, the criteria provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum export refund.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2999/79 (2), and in particular Article 3a (5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1640/79 (3) limited as from the 1979/80 marketing year, in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3a (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, the granting of production aid for Williams pears, preserved in syrup, to 57 100 tonnes, on the basis of figures supplied by the producer countries ; whereas, in order to respect the upper limit, the Commission limited, by means of Regulation (EEC) No 1731/79 (4), the granting of aid in respect of each processing undertaking to 105 % of the quantity of preserved products manufactured during the 1978/79 marketing year;
Whereas, since then, two Member States have respectively amended and completed the production figures which were used in establishing the average volume of production over three years on the basis of which the upper limit was set ; whereas, following that updating, it is necessary to alter the upper limit in order not to prejudice the interests of the operators concerned,

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) With the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 of 27 September 2011 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), new CN codes apply to gas and fuel oils containing biodiesel. These changes may affect the mineral oil industry because certain mixing operations under the customs warehousing procedure and in free zones are not permitted anymore as ‘usual forms of handling’ because they result in a different eight-digit CN code.
(2) A solution should be found to allow mixing of gas or fuel oils not containing biodiesel with gas or fuel oils containing biodiesel, classified in Chapter 27 of the CN, under the customs warehousing procedure and in free zones to continue as before the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 on 1 January 2012.
(3) Mixing gas or fuel oils with biodiesel should be allowed, so that separate storage of both types of goods is not required. However, taking account of the Additional Note 2 in Chapter 27 of the Combined Nomenclature the mixture obtained should contain less than 0,5 %, by volume, of biodiesel or gas or fuel oils respectively.
(4) Annex 72 to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The amendment should enter into force with retroactive effect in order to allow for extinguishing customs debts which were incurred since 1 January 2012 because of the introduction of the new CN codes.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Annex 72 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2012.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 23 November 1979 amending Directive 75/106/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making-up by volume of certain prepackaged liquids (79/1005/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the field of application of Council Directive 76/211/EEC of 20 January 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making-up by weight or by volume of certain prepackaged products (4) is different from that of Council Directive 75/106/EEC 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 (5);
Whereas, therefore, the fields of application of the two Directives should be aligned as regards the volumes of the prepackages to which they relate;
Whereas at the time of the adoption of Directive 75/106/EEC, the Council, with a view to providing better protection for the consumer, requested the Commission to submit before 31 December 1980 a new proposal reducing the list of nominal volumes in Annex III by eliminating values that were too close to one another;
Whereas Council Directive 71/354/EEC of 18 October 1971 relating to the approximation of the laws of the Member States on units of measurement (6) was last amended by Directive 76/770/EEC (7);
Whereas pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Directive 75/106/EEC, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have five years in which to implement that Directive ; whereas this Directive should therefore take account of that time limit;
Whereas certain Member States will find it difficult to reduce the number of nominal volumes ; whereas, therefore, provisions should be made for a transitional period for these Member States which does not, however, impede intra-Community trade in the products in question or jeopardize implementation of this Directive in the other Member States,
Article 1 of Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 1
This Directive relates to prepackages containing the liquid products listed in Annex III measured by volume for the purpose of sale in individual quantities of between 5 ml and 10 litres inclusive."
Article 2 (2) of Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"2. A product is prepacked when it is placed in a package of whatever nature without the purchaser being present and the quantity of product contained in the package has a predetermined value and cannot be altered without the package either being opened or undergoing a perceptible modification."
Article 3 (1) of Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"1. The prepackages which may be marked with the EEC mark referred to in Section 3.3 of Annex I are those which comply with Annex I." (1)OJ No C 250, 19.10.1977, p. 7. (2)OJ No C 163, 10.7.1978, p. 72. (3)OJ No C 283, 27.11.1978, p. 40. (4)OJ No L 46, 21.2.1976, p. 1. (5)OJ No L 42, 15.2.1975, p. 1. (6)OJ No L 243, 29.10.1971, p. 29. (7)OJ No L 262, 27.9.1976, p. 204.
1. Article 4 of Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
1. All prepackages referred to in Article 3 must in accordance with Annex I bear an indication of the volume of liquid, called the "nominal volume of the contents", which they are required to contain.
2. Until the expiry of the periods laid down in Council Directive 71/354/EEC of 18 October 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement (1), as last amended by Directive 76/770/EEC (2), the indication of the nominal volume of the contents expressed in SI units of measurement in accordance with section 3.1 of Annex I to this Directive shall, if the United Kingdom or Ireland so desire and on their national territories, be accompanied by an indication of the nominal volume expressed in the equivalent imperial units of measurement, if they are given in Annex I to this Directive."
2. The following footnotes shall be added:
"(1)OJ No L 243, 29.10.1971, p. 29. (2)OJ No L 262, 27.9.1976, p. 204. "
Article 5 of Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 5
1. Member States may not refuse, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market of prepackages which satisfy the requirements of this Directive on grounds related to the determination of their volumes, the methods by which they have been checked or the nominal volumes where these are set forth in Annex III.
2. As from 1 January 1984, prepackages containing the products listed in Annex III 1 (a) may be marketed only if they have the nominal volumes laid down in Annex III.
Until 31 December 1983, Member States may allow all values allowed up to that date on their markets.
3. However, (a) for prepackages with the nominal volumes listed in Annex III, column II, paragraph 1 shall apply until 31 December 1988 only to those countries which allowed such prepackages on 31 December 1973, with the exception of prepackages of category 1 (a) "Wines" with a nominal volume of 0 773 l, for which the expiry date is 31 December 1985;
(b) with respect to the liquids specified in Sections 1 (a), 1 (b) and 4 of Annex III, paragraph 1 shall apply only when such liquids are presented in packages having one of the nominal volumes listed in the corresponding columns of that Annex and complying with the rules on trade practices of the Member State of origin of the liquid, regardless of whether filling took place in the Member State of origin or in another State.
4. The provisions of this Directive shall be no impediment to national laws governing on environmental grounds the use of packaging with regard to its recycling."
Section 2.4 of Annex I to Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"2.4 The tolerable negative error shall be fixed in accordance with the following table: >PIC FILE= "T0015610">
When using the table, the values of the tolerable negative errors shown as percentages in the table, calculated in units of volume, shall be rounded up to the nearest one-tenth of a millilitre."
The second paragraph of section 3.1 of Annex I to Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the following:
"Until the expiry of the periods laid down in Directive 71/354/EEC, as amended by Directive 76/770/EEC, the indication of the nominal volume of the contents expressed in SI units in accordance with the first paragraph may be accompanied by that of the equivalent value in imperial (UK) units of measurement, calculated by applying the following conversion factors:
one millilitre = 0 70352 fluid ounce
one litre = 1 7760 pints or 0 7220 gallon."
Annex III to Directive 75/106/EEC shall be replaced by the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish before 1 January 1981 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed to comply with this Directive, and these shall enter into force on 1 January 1981.
2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

of 8 August 2002
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 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 Article 1(2) and Article 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 9 August 2002.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 3 June 1991
on the frequency band to be designated for the coordinated introduction of digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT) into the Community
(91/287/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas recommendation 84/549/EEC (4) calls for the introduction of services on the basis of a common harmonized approach in the field of telecommunications;
Whereas the Council in its resolution of 30 June 1988 (5) on the development of the common market for telecommunications services and equipment calls for the promotion of Europe-wide services according to market requirements;
Whereas the resources offered by modern telecommunications networks should be utilized to the full for the economic development of the Community;
Whereas Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (6) is applicable, and particular attention should be taken to avoid harmful electromagnetic interference;
Whereas current cordless telephone systems in use in the Community, and the frequency bands they operate in, vary widely and may not allow the benefits of Europe-wide services or benefit from the economies of scale associated with a truly European market;
Whereas the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) is currently developing the European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) or digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT);
Whereas the development of the European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) must take account of the safety of users, and the need for Europe-wide interoperability and enable users provided with a service based on DECT technology in one Member State to gain access to the service in any other Member State, where appropriate;
Whereas the European implementation of DECT will provide an important opportunity to establish truly European digital cordless telephone facilities;
Whereas ETSI has estimated that DECT will require 20 MHz in high density areas;
Whereas the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) has recommended the common European frequency band 1880-1900 MHz for DECT, recognizing that, subject to the system, development of DECT additional frequency spectrum may be required;
Whereas this should be taken into account in the preparation for the 1992 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC);
Whereas after the date of designation of the frequency band for DECT, existing services may continue in the band, providing that they do not interfere with DECT systems that may be established according to commercial demand;
Whereas the implementation of Council recommendation 91/288/EEC of 3 June 1991 on the coordinated introduction of DECT into the Community (7), will ensure the implementation of DECT by 31 December 1992 at the latest;
Whereas Council Directive 91/263/EEC of 29 April 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning telecommunications terminal equipment, including the mutual recognition of their conformity (8) will allow the rapid establishment of common conformity specifications for DECT;
Whereas the establishment of DECT depends on the allocation and availability of a frequency band in order to transmit and receive between fixed-base stations and mobile stations;
Whereas some flexibility will be needed in order to take account of different frequency requirements in different Member States; it will be necessary to ensure that such flexibility does not slow down the implementation of DECT technology according to commercial demand across the Community;
Whereas the progressive availability of the full range of the frequency band set out above will be indispensable for the establishment of DECT on a Europe-wide basis,
For the purposes of this Directive, the digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT) system shall mean technology conforming to the European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) for digital cordless telecommunications referred to in recommendation 91/288/EEC, and the telecommunications systems, both public and private, which directly utilize such technology.
Member States shall, in accordance with CEPT Recommendation T/R 22-02 of the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administration designate the frequency band 1880-1900 MHz for digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT) by 1 January 1992.

Whereas, under Article 1 (5) of the same Regulation, over a period of three years from 1 November 1984 in the case of Italy and Greece and from 1 March 1986 to 31 October 1987 in the case of Spain and Portugal, certain percentages of the agency's actual expenditure are to be chargeable to the general budget of the European Communities up to certain maximum amounts;
Whereas, for different reasons communicated by Italy and Greece, it was not possible for the agencies in these Member States to carry out the checks and other duties attributed to them in 1984/85; whereas 1985/86 is the marketing year during which the agencies will actually start to function; whereas no payments arising from the application of these functions have been made in the 1984/85 marketing year, with the exception of a few expenses incurred relating to the initial setting-up of the agencies; whereas, accordingly, the period over which the actual expenditure of the agencies shall be chargeable to the general budget of the European Communities must be extended by one more year; whereas the total amounts referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 1 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2262/84 must remain the same;

- 50 % for the fourth year.
In the case of Spain and Portugal, 100 % of the agency's actual expenditure during the period from 1 March 1986 to 31 October 1988 shall be covered, up to a maximum of 9,3 million ECU for Spain and 4,7 million ECU for Portugal.
Member States may, under conditions to be determined in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, cover part of the expenditure to be borne by them by a deduction from the Community aid granted for olive oil.

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,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(10), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(11), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(12), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(13), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(14) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(15) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(16), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(10) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(11) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4049/89 of 19 December 1989 allocating, for 1990, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (3) provides for cod and haddock quotas for 1990;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod and haddock in the waters of ICES divisions I and II (Norwegian waters north of 62°N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quotas allocated for 1990; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for these stocks as from 27 April 1990; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

Whereas, in view of the expected disparity in the price of maize on the Community market in the current marketing year and that following the next harvest, it is considered necessary to temporarily adapt the duration of validity of export licences for maize-based cereal products and for potato starch, where the price level is dependent on the price of maize, whereas a temporary derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 675/91 (4), is considered necessary for the products in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
By derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 891/89, the duration of validity of export certificates delivered between 1 June and 30 September 1991 for the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation is limited to 30 September 1991.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(10), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(11), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(12), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(13), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(14) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(15) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(16), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(10) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(11) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 September 2003.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 of 29 June 1995 regulating compensation for reductions in the agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies (2) lays down special rules applicable between 23 June 1995 and 1 January 1996 to currencies which experience during that period an appreciable reduction in their agricultural conversion rate; whereas the risk of an appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rates has arisen in the case of the Finnish markka and the Swedish krona since monetary gaps of more than 5 % have occurred for those currencies; whereas this situation could lead to an appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rates after the period referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1527/95;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides for the Council to take all necessary measures in the event of an appreciable revaluation, which, primarily to comply with obligations under the GATT Agreement and budgetary discipline, may involve derogations from the provisions of the said Regulation concerning aid and the amount by which the monetary gaps are dismantled, without, however, resulting in the threshold being extended; whereas the measures provided for in Articles 7 and 8 of the said Regulation cannot be applied as they stand; whereas it is necessary to take steps at Community level to prevent distortions of monetary origin affecting the implementation of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas on the basis of the information available it is impossible to know what the situation will be after 30 June 1996; whereas application of the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 would be justified in similar cases up to that time; whereas the amounts of the aid provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 must be determined using the criteria employed when that Regulation was adopted, and in particular by reference to the most recent data available; whereas, in order to reflect the most recent data available, the amount of the aid must be fixed for those Member States, such as Finland and Sweden at present for which there is a risk of an appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rate,
This Regulation shall apply in the event of significant reductions in agricultural conversion rates in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 up to 30 June 1996.
1. Provided an amount is fixed for the purpose in paragraph 2, in the event of a reduction in an agricultural conversion rate as referred to in Article 1, the Member State affected may make compensatory payments to farmers in three successive tranches lasting twelve months each, starting with the month following the relevant reduction in the agricultural conversion rate. These compensatory payments shall not take the form of aid linked to production during a stipulated period prior to introduction of the compensation scheme; they shall not favour any particular type of production or be dependent on production subsequent to the period stipulated.
2. In the case of Sweden the overall amount of compensation allocated for the first 12-month tranche may not exceed ECU 10,8 million multiplied by the fall in the agricultural conversion rate referred to in Article 1 expressed as a percentage and reduced, in the case of the first appreciable reduction, by 1,564 points if the reduction occurs before 13 January 1996 or by 1,043 points if it occurs thereafter.
In the case of Finland the overall amount of compensation allocated for the first 12-month tranche may not exceed ECU 14,6 million multiplied by the fall in the agricultrual conversion rate referred to in Article 1 expressed as a percentage and reduced, in the case of the first appreciable reduction, by 1,119 points if the reduction occurs before 21 January 1996 or by 0,746 points if it occurs thereafter.
The amounts paid out under the second and third tranches shall be reduced, vis-à-vis the previous tranche, by at least a third of the amount paid out in the first tranche.
3. The Community contribution to financing these compensatory payments shall be 50 % of the amounts that may be paid out.
For the purposes of the financing of the common agricultural policy, this contribution shall be considered as forming part of the assistance designed to regularize agricultural markets. The Member State may withdraw from national participation in financing the aid.
4. The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, adopt detailed rules for applying this Article and in particular, in cases where the Member State does not participate in financing the aid, lay down the conditions for paying that aid.
1. In cases as referred to in Article 1, the agricultural conversion rates applicable, on the date of the appreciable reduction, to the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall remain unchanged until 1 January 1999.
2. Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall not apply to the reductions in agricultural conversion rates referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Before the end of the third period during which the compensation is granted, the Commission shall examine the effects on agricultural income of the reductions in agricultural conversion rates as referred to in Article 1.
Where it is established that income losses are likely to continue, the Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, extend the possibility of granting compensation as provided for in Article 2 of this Regulation by a maximum of 2 additional 12-month tranches, the maximum amount per tranche being equal to that granted in the third tranche.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (2), and in particular Article 13 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 (3) lays down the general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade; whereas some of the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 592/86 (5), are applicable pursuant to that Regulation; whereas two time limits for applications for licences are specified in Articles 12 (2), 13 (2), 14 (1) and 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80;
Whereas imports into Portugal of the flowers and live plants referred to in Annex XXII to the Act of Accession are subject to an STM licence; whereas the time limits referred to above are, in the light of the characteristics of the trade in flowers and live plants, unsuitable, and whereas there should therefore be a derogation whereby the time limit for recording the application should be 3.30 p.m. and the time limit for its receipt by the competent agency should be 4.30 p.m.
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Live Plants,
1. By way of derogation from Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/86, the time limits specified in Articles 12 (2), 13 (2), 14 (1) and 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 shall be as follows:
- 3.30 p.m. instead of 1 p.m.,

of 28 July 2011
entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Karlovarské trojhránky (PGI))
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 6(2) and in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Czech Republic’s application of 19 October 2004 to register the name ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Austria and Germany submitted objections to the registration pursuant to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objections were deemed admissible under points (a), (b), (c) and (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(3) By letters dated 6 May 2008, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.
(4) Given that no agreement was reached between Austria and the Czech Republic nor between Germany and the Czech Republic within the designated timeframe, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(5) Concerning the alleged failure of compliance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 regarding an absence of production in the geographical area and the quality of its reputation, the national authorities responsible confirmed that production took place in the geographical zone. The link was based on the specific quality of the product attributable to the geographical area, namely the thermal spring water used in production, which is sufficient to meet the requirements of point (b) of Article 2(1); whether or not the product also had sufficient reputation to satisfy the requirements of Article 2(1) was immaterial.
(6) The statements of objection from Germany showed that trade marks including the term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ had been registered prior to the application for registration of the term ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ as a protected geographical indication. Evidence was further provided to show that consumers in Germany associated the name ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ with a certain type of wafer. However no evidence was provided in the statements of objection that consumers strongly associated the wafers with all or any of the trade marks as distinct from the descriptive term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’, nor that consumers would be liable to be misled as to the true identity of a product marketed under the name ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’. Therefore, the Commission cannot conclude that the registration of the name ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ would be contrary to Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(7) As a salient part of the names ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ and ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ is identical, it is reasonable to conclude that the names are partly identical for the purposes of point (c) of Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Furthermore, given the similarities between the products and their common origins, the application of the protection envisaged by Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, and in particular point (b) of paragraph (1) thereof, could have the result that ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’, if registered, would be found by a competent court to be protected against the use of ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ on the wafers concerned. The evidence therefore shows that the continued existence of the name ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ could be jeopardised by the registration of ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ within the meaning of point (c) of Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(8) The statements of objection were declared admissible on the ground, inter alia, that registration of the proposed name would jeopardise the existence of a partly identical name, namely ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’, in so far that this name is used on product and not protected under trade mark legislation. The evidence further shows that the name ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ originated from producers in the town formerly known as Karlsbad and that production of the wafer so named has continued for a considerable period of time. Moreover, the evidence shows that the uses of the name ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ referred to an authentic and traditional product that was not exploiting the reputation of ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’. For these reasons the maximum transitional period foreseen by Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 should be foreseen.
(9) Concerning trade marks containing the term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ that were protected through registration or acquired by use prior to the application for registration of ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’, the conditions of Article 14(1) not being met, the said trade marks cannot be invalidated nor can their continued use be hindered by virtue of the registration of ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ as a protected geographical indication, provided the general requirements under trade mark legislation are otherwise met.
(10) Concerning generic status, the evidence provided in the statements of objection referred to the general use of the term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ and not to that of ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’. While the objections have provided evidence to show that a number of uses as general descriptive terms exist including the German mention ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’, no evidence has been provided that the name ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ is used to designate a category of products that do not originate in the region of Karlovy Vary. The objection does not take into consideration the situation in the Czech Republic. Therefore, on the basis of information provided the name ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ cannot be considered to be generic and there is no failure of compliance with Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(11) In the light of the above, the name ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ should be entered in the Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications subject to a transitional period of 5 years during which time the term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ may continue to be used in circumstances that, but for the transitional period, could be contrary to the protection provided for by Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,
The designation contained in the Annex to this Regulation shall be entered in the register.
1. The term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ may be used to designate wafers not complying with the specification for ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ for a period of 5 years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
2. Trade marks containing the term ‘Karlsbader Oblaten’ that were protected through registration or acquired by use prior to 19 October 2004, shall not be invalidated nor shall their continued use be hindered by virtue of the registration of ‘Karlovarské trojhránky’ as a protected geographical indication, provided the general requirements under trade mark legislation are otherwise met.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

On 10 December 1974, several French undertakings engaged in the production of steel within the meaning of Article 80 of the Treaty applied to the Commission for authorization of an agreement concerning, inter alia, the joint buying of prereduced iron ore through the Société Française des Minerais Préréduits S.A., Paris (SFMP), a company with a share capital of FF 1 000 000.
The undertakings concerned are the following: >PIC FILE= "T0006874">
>PIC FILE= "T0006875">
2. SFMP will have the following objects: (1) Studies : to keep its shareholders informed of current studies and research on the direct reduction of iron ore;
(2) Supplies : to negotiate, whether in its own name or in the name and for the account of its shareholders or of other firms, medium and long-term supply contracts for prereduced iron ore;
(3) Representation : to represent its shareholders in dealings with foreign undertakings interested in participating in setting up direct reduction plants;
(4) Setting up plants : to study and possibly set up and operate direct reduction plants in its own name, or for account of all or some of its shareholders, acting either alone or with third parties.
3. As regards supplies (object (2) above) SFMP will purchase prereduced material to the order and for the account of its members on a brokerage basis, the commission charged by SFMP going to cover its own costs. SFMP will not have the exclusive right to make such purchases, but any member undertakings intending to obtain supplies direct will inform SFMP's Chairman in advance.
4. In principle, direct reduction plants (object (4) above) would be set up and operated in conjunction with SFMP by undertakings specially formed for the purpose.
5. Subject to the possibility of earlier dissolution, reduction or extension, SFMP will be formed for a period of 99 years running from its incorporation.
6. SFMP will be run by a Board of not less than three and not more than 12 Directors appointed for a maximum term of office of six years by the shareholders in General Meeting.
II 7. The agreement restricts the normal play of competition between the undertakings involved in that they agree: - to share products and sources of supply by coordinating their purchases of prereduced iron ore through SFMP ; and
- to control investment in and production of prereduced iron ore through SFMP, either alone or together with third parties.
8. Accordingly, the agreement is caught by the prohibition in Article 65 (1), even if to some extent it only constitutes a declaration of intent to be clarified subsequently as regards the terms on which direct reduction plants will be set up and operated.
9. Article 65 (2) empowers the Commission to authorize specialization agreements or joint buying or joint selling agreements and certain agreements strictly analogous in nature and effect, where it finds that the tests of that Article are satisfied.
10. The coordination envisaged by the firms, in obtaining supplies of prereduced iron ore through SFMP, is strictly analogous to a joint buying agreement ; while coordination of investments and plant operation can be regarded as strictly analogous to specialization.
11. The agreement may thus be authorized under Article 65 (2) if and to the extent that it makes for a substantial improvement in the production or distribution of the products in question, if it is essential in order to achieve these results and if it is not more restrictive than is necessary for that purpose. It must also be shown that the agreement is not liable to give the undertakings concerned the power to determine the prices or to control or to restrict the production or marketing of a substantial part of the products in question within the common market, or to shield them against effective competition from other undertakings within the common market.
III 12. The undertakings which are party to the agreement account for some 95 % of crude steel production in France.
13. Prereduced iron ore constitutes a high quality substitute for scrap for all purposes, but particularly in electrical steel furnaces. Prereduction processes have been developed to an important extent only in recent times, with a number of projects being carried out or studied throughout the world, particularly in non-Community countries which are rich in iron ore and/or in hydrocarbons.
14. So far the only Community country in which prereduction of iron ore has reached the stage of industrial production is the Federal Republic of Germany, although a number of major projects are being considered elsewhere in the Community.
15. World production of prereduced iron ore is running at an annual rate of some six million metric tons ; of this total, only half a million metric tons are produced in the Community, where total crude steel production in 1973 was 150 million metric tons, using 100 million metric tons of pig iron and about 63 million metric tons of scrap. Consumption of prereduced iron ore in the Community has hitherto been insignificant as compared with total steel production.
16. Taking account of the plants already planned in other Community countries, world prereduced iron ore production could reach some 30 million metric tons by 1980, although a major part of this production will probably be used in steel melting shops down-stream from the direct reduction plants themselves. Hence the tonnages available for export to Community countries are likely to remain relatively low.
17. Both in the Community and elsewhere electrical steel melting shops and the continuous casting process are showing a particularly strong upsurge in popularity at a time when, as can be seen from "Report on Investment in the Community coalmining and iron and steel industries" published by the Commission in September 1974, the decline of the open hearth process is slowing down. As the continuous casting process is adopted by more and more steel works, the quantity of scrap arising in the works will fall noticeably. Both the electrical and open hearth processes are based primarily on scrap. These trends "will not fail to influence the demand for scrap, a raw material for which supply is not particularly elastic. In addition, the direct reduction of iron ore does not seem likely to supply substitute products in appreciable quantities in the medium term" (op. cit.).
18. Accordingly, although economic pressures are lower in the present time of reduced business activity, it must be assumed that in the medium term there will be a serious shortage of scrap. It is therefore desirable for the largest possible quantities of prereduced iron ore to become available either from non-Community countries or from plants to be set up within the Community, to take the place of some of this scrap.
IV 19. The joint buying of prereduced iron ore envisaged by the parties to this agreement will enable them to order larger tonnages and thus to claim higher bulk discounts and reduce their transport costs ; this will permit a cut in supply costs. Medium-term contracts will enable them to guarantee stability both of supplies and of prices, particularly at times of shortage.
20. In view of the circumstances described above, the joint buying agreement must be regarded as making for a substantial improvement in the production of crude steel and steel products.
21. The agreement is essential in order to achieve these results, for comparable improvements would be out of the question if each individual undertaking purchased prereduced iron ore separately.
22. The joint buying agreement does not give SFMP exclusive control over such purchases. The fact that the member undertakings undertake to inform SFMP's Chairman in advance when they propose to make direct purchases does not give the Chairman any right of veto but simply assists the coordination which is necessary to ensure the improvements referred to in paragraph 19.
23. In these circumstances, the joint buying agreement is no more restrictive than is required for its purpose and it satisfies the tests of Article 65 (2) (a) and (b).
24. The joint buying agreement will not give the undertakings concerned the power to determine the general level of prices or production of prereduced iron ore, for this will be determined rather by the world supply and demand situation and by the current actual and relative prices for scrap and for pig iron (which in many cases can be replaced by scrap and prereduced iron). Joint buying does not give the undertakings concerned the power to determine the prices or to control or restrict the production or marketing of a substantial part of the products in question within the common market ; accordingly, as regards joint buying, the agreement satisfies the tests of Article 65 (2) (c).
V 25. As regards the building and operating of prereduction plants, the agreement provides only a framework and the details will have to be filled in before a final decision can be given as to its compatibility with Article 65 (2) or, as the case may be, Article 66 (2). Among other things, it will have to be established with certainty that no proposals to cooperate on such plants would give the undertakings concerned the power to determine the prices or to control or restrict the production or marketing of a substantial part of prereduced iron ore in the common market.
26. Consequently, SFMP and the member undertakings will be required to inform the Commission of any proposal for building or operating a direct reduction plant within the Community. Such a proposal may not become operational until the Commission has granted an authorization under Article 65 or 66 of the Treaty.
VI 27. The objects of the studies and the representation function to be carried out by SFMP (objects (1) and (3) referred to in paragraph 2 above) will be to keep abreast of developments in the various prereduction processes, to study the technical and economic possibilities for siting plants, either in France or in other countries, to assess processes and products and to provide the necessary contacts with third parties for the attainment of these objects. On these points the agreement is not restrictive of competition.
VII 28. The Commission needs to be in a position to monitor the development of cooperation between steel undertakings regarding the joint supply of prereduced iron ore. SFMP and the undertakings concerned will therefore have to notify the Commission without delay of any change in the number of shareholders of SFMP and of any change or addition to the agreement or to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of SFMP and to refrain from operating them until the Commission has stated that they are acceptable, or, as the case maybe, has authorized them under Article 65 of the Treaty.
29. Having regard to the conditions imposed above the agreement is compatible with Article 65 (2) of the Treaty,
The agreement between the following undertakings:

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURES
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94(2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems (hereinafter "TCS") originating in Japan.
(2) The Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty the professional camera systems listed in the Annex to that Regulation (hereinafter referred to as "the Annex"), representing high-end professional camera systems technically falling within the product definition under Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94, but which cannot be regarded as broadcast cameras.
(3) In October 1995, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2474/95(3), amended the abovementioned Regulation (EC) No 1015/94, in particular as regards the like product definition and as regards certain models of professional camera systems explicitly exempted from the scope of the definitive anti-dumping duty.
(4) In October 1997, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1952/97(4) amended the rates of the definitive anti-dumping duty for two companies concerned, namely for Sony Corporation and Ikegami Tsushinki in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96. Furthermore, the Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty certain new models of professional camera systems adding them to the Annex.
(5) In January 1999, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 193/1999(5) amended Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to its Annex and thus excluding those from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.
B. INVESTIGATION CONCERNING NEW MODELS OF PROFESSIONAL CAMERA SYSTEMS
1. Procedure
(6) Subsequently, a number of Japanese exporting producers informed the Commission that they intended to introduce new models of professional camera systems into the Community market and requested to add these new models of professional camera systems and their accessories to the Annex and thus exempt them from the scope of the anti-dumping duties.
(7) The Commission informed the Community industry accordingly and commenced an investigation limited to the determination of whether the products under consideration fall within the scope of the anti-dumping duties and whether the operational part of Regulation 1015/94 should be amended accordingly.

3. Findings
(9) The Commission carried out a technical examination including a detailed comparison of the models concerned with their predecessor models listed in the Annex and found that they were almost completely identical. The small differences found are the result of the technical development in the TCS sector but did not affect the classification of these TCS as professional camera systems. Therefore, it was concluded that all models concerned should be excluded from the scope of the existing anti-dumping measures.
(10) The Commission informed the Community producers and the exporters of TCS of its findings and provided them with an opportunity to present their views. On this basis and in the light of the fact that the interested parties did not object to the Commission's conclusions, all models and related equipment listed in recital (8) are professional camera systems. It follows that they should be exempted from the application of the anti-dumping duty applicable to certain television camera systems originating in Japan, and that the Annex should be amended accordingly,
The Annex of Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Commission.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the German authorities notified to the Commission and to the other Member States a measure prohibiting the placing on the market of an electric mini-ATV (all-terrain vehicle) of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd, Zhiying Street, Guashan Industry Area, Yongkang, Zhejiang, China, imported into the EU by QBB Funsporthandel, Hofstraβe 21, 56841 Traben-Trarbach, Germany.
(2) The reason for the measure given by the German authorities was the non-conformity of the mini-ATV with the following essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC:
— 1.3.2 — Risk of break-up during operation
— 1.3.7 — Risks related to moving parts
— 1.7.3 — Marking of machinery
— 1.7.4 — Instructions
(3) The German authorities also noted that, while the product bore the CE marking, it was not accompanied by an EC Declaration of conformity drawn up and signed by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, as required by Article 5(1)(e) of Directive 2006/42/EC.
(4) The notification was accompanied by an inspection report established by the Landesamt für Umwelt, Wasserwirtschaft und Gewerbeaufsicht Rheinland-Pfalz.
(5) In accordance with the procedure set out in Article 11(3) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the Commission wrote to the manufacturer and the importer inviting them to comment on the measure taken by the German authorities. No reply was received.
(6) Examination of the evidence provided by the German authorities confirms that the electric mini-ATV of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd fails to comply with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC and that this non-conformity gives rise to risks of injury to users,
The measure taken by the German authorities prohibiting the placing on the market of an electric mini-ATV of the type HB-ATV49Q-Electric manufactured by Huabao Electric Appliance Co. Ltd is justified.

Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 2 of Decision No 1445/2000/EC, the Commission has presented a report on the application of the areal survey technique to the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics.
(2) The experience gained in the application of the Community areal survey project for the period 1999-2001 has demonstrated the efficiency of this technique for the supply of indispensable information in the context of the common agriculture policy as well as with a view to enlargement; there is therefore a need to continue the areal survey project in 2002 and 2003, as well as the application of remote sensing.
(3) Since, owing to the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, it was impossible to conduct an areal survey in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2001, it is necessary to conduct two surveys in these Member States for a full evaluation of this technique.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC(2),

Whereas Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 lays down that, where there is a change in the buying-in price of butter, expressed in national currency, by the intervention agencies, private storage aid is increased or decreased accordingly; whereas, however, the Commission may decide, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3117/90 (4), that the aid concerned will not be modified if the market situation justifies this; whereas the current situation on the market for butter and cream, characterized by surpluses, dictates that the devaluation of the green rates should not be reflected in the amount of aid;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The modification of the buying-in price for butter, expressed in national currency, resulting from the change in the green rate applicable from 11 October 1990 shall not be taken into account for the calculation of private storage aid under Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1108/93 of 4 May 1993 laying down certain provisions for the application of the bilateral agreements on agriculture between the Community, of the one part and Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3611/93 (3), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof,
Whereas by Decision 93/239/EEC (4) the Council approved the Bilateral Agreement with Sweden in the field of agriculture; whereas that Agreement came into force on 1 January 1994 (5);
Whereas the arrangement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden on reciprocal trade in beef and veal, including cooked preparations, annexed to the abovementioned Agreement, provides for the opening of a tariff quota for imports, without levy or common customs tariff (CCT) duty, of 4 000 tonnes of beef and veal falling within CN code 0201 and 2 500 tonnes of products falling within CN code 1602 50 90; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2505/92 of 14 July 1992 amending Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (6) replaces CN code 1602 50 90 with CN codes 1602 50 31, 1602 50 39 and 1602 50 80;
Whereas the conversion coefficients for expressing a quantity of boned meat or cooked preparation in carcase weight should be fixed; whereas such coefficients must be established in the light of the experience gained by the beef and veal industry;
Whereas, in order to ensure the regularity of imports, the said quantities should be spread over several periods of the year;
Whereas, while recalling the provisions of the agreement guaranteeing the origin of the product, management of the import system should be ensured through import licences; whereas, with that in mind, detailed rules should be laid down for the submission of application as well as the information to be included on applications and licences, notwithstanding certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3519/93 (8), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2867/93 (10); whereas provision should also be made for licences to be issued after a delay for consideration and, where necessary, with the application of a single percentage reduction;
Whereas, in order to ensure efficient management of the system, provision should be made for the security in respect of the import licences under the system to be fixed at ECU 10 per 100 kilograms; whereas the risk of speculation inherent in such a system in the beef and veal sector requires that access to the system should be subject to precise conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The quantity of beef and veal which may be imported during 1994 within the framework of the arrangement between the Community and Sweden on reciprocal trade in beef and veal shall be:

COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115,
Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3667/84 (2) instituted a system of import authorizations in France for certain beach slippers, slippers and other indoor footwear originating in the People's Republic of China and falling within NIMEXE codes ex 64.04-10, ex 64.04-90 and ex 64.02-69 respectively;
Whereas that Regulation takes account of the steps taken by the Government of the People's Republic of China both in order to make exports into France of the products in question subject to export certificates, and to issue such certificates in such a way as to respect certain quantitative limits for 1985, 1986 and 1987;
Whereas disparities exist between France and the other Member States in the conditions governing imports of the products in question; whereas such disparities may give rise to deflection of trade;
Whereas in order to detect rapidly such deflection of trade, the French Government has made a request to the Commission of the European Communities to be authorized to establish prior intra-Community surveillance of the imports in question originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas the Commission has examined whether the imports in question could be the subject of intra-Community surveillance measures; whereas that examination shows that such deflection of trade may increase and jeopardize the objectives pursued by Regulation (EEC) No 3667/84 referred to above and aggravate or prolong the economic difficulties of the manufacturing sector concerned;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to authorize France to introduce intra-Community surveillance of the products in question originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States,
In accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, the French Republic is hereby authorized to establish, until 31 December 1987, intra-Community surveil
lance of the products indicated below originating in the People's Republic of China and put into free circulation in the other Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (6) to 9 (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas however the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopt a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance of the Structural Funds for the present single programming document is composed of resources coming from the indicative allocation of Structural Fund commitment appropriations for the period 1997 to 1999 under Objective 2 resulting from Commission Decision 96/468/EC (5) and from unused appropriations of ECU 9,055 million of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C (96) 3158 of 9 December 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 9 December 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Auvergne; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (11), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission has verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (13), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas it is appropriate to mention that this Decision is ruled by the provisions on the eligibility of expenditure laid down in the Annex to Commission Decision C(97) 1035/1 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of France;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Auvergne concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 1999, is hereby approved.
The single programming document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies of France;
the main priorities are:
1. to strengthen the competitiveness of companies,
2. to develop training and research,
3. to accompany local development,
4. technical assistance;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the single programming document comprising:
- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,
- the provisions on financial implementation,
- the rules for compliance with Community policies;
(d) the procedures for verifying additionality;
(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the single programming document;
(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned.
1. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
2. To this global maximum allocation is added an amount of ECU 9,055 million not subject to indexation, resulting from unused appropriations of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996.
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 82,315 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the single programming document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 82,315 million for the public sector and ECU 66,522 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 69,392 million,
- ESF: ECU 12,923 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF: ECU 22,052 million,
- ESF: ECU 4,108 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
3. Payments subsequent to the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 shall be subject to confirmation by the Commission of the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.
This Decision is ruled by the provisions laid down in the Annex to Decision C(97) 1035/1.

on the application of a special intervention measure for common wheat of bread-making quality
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3793/85 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8 (4) thereof,
Whereas there are at present considerable stocks of common wheat of bread-making quality without any foreseeable outlets in the near future; whereas this situation is threatening to undermine the stability of the market in that product; whereas, consequently, in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, provision should be made for the application of special intervention measures consisting of the purchase of common wheat of a quality to be determined;
Whereas such purchases will be made in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77 of 20 July 1977 laying down detailed rules of application for special intervention measures to support the development of the market in common wheat of bread-making quality (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2215/84 (4);
Whereas, however, the situation of the market in common wheat of bread-making quality is characterized by differing price levels and disposal possiblilities in the various Member States; whereas this situation justifies the fixing of maximum quantities that may be accepted into intervention in the individual Member States;
Whereas purchases should be made in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2738/75 of 29 October 1975 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (5);
Whereas, since the quantities to be purchased are limited, measures must be applied to ensure that bona fide offers are made to the intervention agencies; whereas, to this end, provision should be made for the lodging, at the time when offers are submitted, of a security which will be forfeit if the offer is withdrawn or if the offer relates to a quality inferior to the minimum quality or if the offer does not correspond to a quantity actually held in store by the offerer;
Whereas, furthermore, since the quantities to be purchased are limited, a procedure must be applied by the Member States to ensure that offers accepted do not exceed the quantitative limits imposed; whereas, this procedure must provide in particular for the fixing of a percentage reduction to be applied if the volume of offers exceeds the limits imposed;
Whereas, the cost of testing and transporting goods offered is borne by the person making the offer; whereas this cost may prove excessive when, after the percentage reduction laid down is applied, the quantity eligible for purchase is below the minimum tonnage provided for in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77; whereas, in order to mitigate any disadvantages which could arise therefrom, the persons who have made offers should be authorized to withdraw the offers for the quantities in question without impairing their rights to the release of the security; whereas, however, the quantities withdrawn in this way should not be allocated to the other persons who submitted offers;
Whereas, in view of the qualitative requirements laid down, for the purpose of applying the special intervention measure, a difference of 5 % should be adopted between the price for common wheat of the quality taken into consideration and the price determined in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2124/85 (6);
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The intervention agencies of the Member States listed below shall purchase, under the conditions laid down in this Regulation and in accordance with Articles 4 (3) and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77, the quantities of common wheat of bread-making quality presented to them which show the following additional characteristics:

Without prejudice to the provisions of this Article, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2062/81 (1), shall apply.
2. Purchases shall be made at any of the intervention centres for common wheat, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2738/75.
3. Offers shall be made to the intervention agencies of the Member States concerned not later than 1 p.m. (Brussels time) on 28 February 1986.
4. To be valid, offers made to intervention agencies pursuant to this Regulation must correspond to quantities held in store.
The intervention agencies shall make random checks to verify that this condition has been satisfied.
5. Offers for intervention shall be considered only if they are accompanied by evidence that a security of 5 ECU per tonne has been lodged.
6. Offers for intervention may be withdrawn in cases where application of the percentage reduction referred to in the second indent of Article 3 (1) would result in an eligible quantity of less than 80 tonnes. In such cases, the security referred to in paragraph 5 shall be released.
In the event of the application of the first subparagraph, the quantities concerned may not be allocated to other persons who submitted offers.
The price to be paid for the purchases referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be the price determined in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2124/85 for intervention purchases for the 1985/86 marketing year plus 5 %, the resulting price being subject to the monthly increases applicable for February 1986 referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation.
1. The Member States concerned shall forthwith:
- decide whether, in view of the quantitative limits laid down in Article 1, all offers submitted may be accepted,
- fix, if the total quantity offered exceeds the quantity provided for in Article 1, the percentage by which offers made are to be reduced.
2. The intervention agencies concerned shall inform the operators forthwith of the quantities offered which may be accepted subject to the other provisions applicable.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 2 March 2010
authorising the placing on the market of feed produced from the genetically modified potato EH92-527-1 (BPS-25271-9) and the adventitious or technically unavoidable presence of the potato in food and other feed products under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 7(3) and 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 28 February 2005, BASF Plant Science GmbH, submitted to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom an application, in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of genetically modified potato EH92-527-1 for food and feed uses, food and feed containing, consisting, or produced from potato EH92-527-1, with the exception of cultivation.
(2) It follows from the application that feed produced from genetically modified potato EH92-527-1 is, as for any conventional starch potato, a by-product of the starch processing and is the only intended use in the food and feed chains.
(3) On 10 November 2006, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting, or produced from potato EH92-527-1 (2) as described in the application (the products) will have adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment. In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities, as provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of that Regulation.
(4) Accordingly, EFSA advised that no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 are necessary. EFSA also considered that no specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements, and no specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Articles 6(5) and 18(5) of the Regulation, had to be applied.
(5) In its opinion, EFSA concluded that the environmental monitoring plan submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended uses of the products. This environmental monitoring will be carried out for the purpose of Commission Decision 2010/135/EU of 2 March 2010 concerning the placing on the market, in accordance with Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of a potato product (Solanum tuberosum L. line EH92-527-1) genetically modified for enhanced content of the amylopectin component of starch (3).
(6) On 26 February 2007, in the light of a report published by the World Health Organisation listing kanamycin and neomycin as ‘critically important antibacterial agents for human medicine and for risk management strategies of non-human use’, the European Medicines Agency issued a statement highlighting the therapeutic relevance of both antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine. On 13 April 2007, taking into account this statement, EFSA indicated that the therapeutic effect of the antibiotics at stake will not be compromised by the presence of the nptII gene in GM plants. This is due to the extremely low probability of gene transfer from plants to bacteria and its subsequent expression and to the fact that this antibiotic resistant gene in bacteria is already widespread in the environment. It thus confirmed its previous assessment of the safe use of the antibiotic resistance marker gene nptII in genetically modified organisms and their derived products for food and feed uses.
(7) On 14 May 2008, the Commission sent a mandate to EFSA, with a request: (i) to prepare a consolidated scientific opinion taking into account the previous opinion and the statement on the use of ARM genes in GM plants intended or already authorised to be placed on the market and their possible uses for import and processing and for cultivation; (ii) to indicate the possible consequences of this consolidated opinion on the previous EFSA assessments on individual GMOs containing ARM genes. The mandate brought to the attention of EFSA, inter alia, letters by the Commission from Denmark and Greenpeace.
(8) On 11 June 2009, EFSA published a statement on the use of ARM genes in GM plants which concludes that the previous assessment of EFSA on genetically modified potato EH92-527-1 is in line with the risk assessment strategy described in the statement, and that no new evidence has become available that would prompt EFSA to change its previous opinion.
(9) In the light of the above considerations, authorisation should be granted.
(10) The authorisation for the cultivation and industrial use of potato EH92-527-1 is provided by Decision 2010/135/EU that is providing for conditions for use and handling that aim to avoid any co-mingling with material derived from conventional potatoes intended for food or feed.
(11) Despite the application of these measures, it can not be excluded that the genetically modified potato and some products of the starch processing may be present in food or feed. Such a presence should be considered adventitious or technically unavoidable and can be accepted provided it is in a proportion no higher than 0,9 %.
(12) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(13) All information contained in the Annex to this Decision on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed as provided for in the Regulation.
(14) In accordance with Articles 4(2) and 16(2) of the Regulation, the conditions for authorisation of the products bind all persons placing them on the market.
(15) This Decision should be notified through the Biosafety Clearing House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Article 9(1) and Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (5).
(16) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman.
(17) At its meeting on 18 February 2008, the Council was unable to reach a decision by qualified majority either for or against the proposal. It is accordingly for the Commission to adopt the measures,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) EH92-527-1, as specified in point (b) of the Annex, is assigned the unique identifier BPS-25271-9, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas cucumbers are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas cucumbers harvested during a given crop year are marketed from January to December;
Whereas the quantities harvested during January and the first 10 days of February and during the last 20 days of November and December are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for all the year; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 11 February up to and including 10 November;
Whereas, Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas Community produced cucumbers are grown mainly under glass; whereas the reference prices for the marketing year must therefore be fixed for a product of that type; whereas cucumbers imported from certain third countries during the same period will have been grown in the open; whereas, although such cucumbers may be classed in class I, their quality and price are not comparable with those of products grown under glass; whereas the prices for cucumbers not grown under glass should therefore be adjusted by a conversion factor;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1987 marketing year, the reference prices for cucumbers (subheading 07.01 P I of the Common Customs Tariff), expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- February (from 11 to 20): 142,67
(from 21 to 28): 122,42
- March: 112,14
- April: 92,76
- May: 76,12
- June: 63,76
- July: 47,29
- August: 47,66
- September: 56,42
- from 1 October to 10 November: 80,79
2. For the purpose of calculating the entry price, the prices for cucumbers, not produced under glass, imported from third countries shall, after deduction of customs duties, be multiplied by the following conversion factors:
- from 11 February to 30 September: 1,30,
- from 1 October to 10 November: 1,00.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 February 1987.
