Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

(5) The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 47/2012 (4). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

Regulation (EEC) No 2385/91 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following subparagraph is added to Article 3 (2):

(1) On 2 July 2010, Syngenta Seeds SAS submitted to the competent authority of Germany an application, in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MIR162 maize (the application).
(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of MIR162 maize in products consisting of it or containing it for any other uses than food and feed as any other maize, with the exception of cultivation.
(3) In accordance with Article 5(5) and Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, the application includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC. It also includes a monitoring plan for environmental effects conforming with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC.
(4) On 21 June 2012, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. It concluded that MIR162 maize, as described in the application, is as safe as its non-genetically modified counterpart with respect to potential effects on human and animal health or the environment. Therefore it concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from MIR162 maize as described in the application (the products) will have any adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment in the context of their intended uses (3).
(5) 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 Article 6(4) and Article 18(4) of that Regulation.
(6) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended uses of the products.
(7) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted to the products.
(8) A unique identifier should be assigned to each genetically modified organism (hereinafter ‘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).
(9) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MIR162 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided for by this Decision, the labelling of products containing or consisting of the GMO with the exception of food products for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements in Article 4(6) for products containing or consisting of GMOs. Traceability requirements for products containing or consisting of GMOs are laid down in paragraphs 1 to 5 of Article 4 and those for food and feed produced from GMOs are laid down in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(11) The authorisation holder should submit annual reports on the implementation and the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan for environmental effects. Those results should be presented in accordance with Commission Decision 2009/770/EC of 13 October 2009 establishing standard reporting formats for presenting the monitoring results of the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms, as or in products, for the purpose of placing on the market, pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). The EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of 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 for the use of the food and feed, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Article 6(5) and Article 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(12) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the EU register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(13) This Decision is to 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 (7).
(14) The applicant has been consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision.
(15) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chairman. An implementing act was deemed to be necessary and the chair submitted the draft implementing act to the appeal committee for further deliberation. The appeal committee did not deliver an opinion,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) MIR162, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier SYN-IR162-4, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2003/18/EC of 19 December 2002 on the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions(1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Decision 2003/18/EC, the Community has undertaken to establish for each marketing year import tariff quotas at a zero rate of duty for wheat and meslin and maize originating in Romania.
(2) To ensure that imports of wheat and maize covered by these tariff quotas are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences. The licences should be issued, within the quantities set, at the request of the interested parties, subject, where appropriate, to the fixing of a reduction coefficient in respect of the quantities applied for.
(3) To ensure the proper management of these quotas, deadlines for the lodging of licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in the applications and licences should be specified.
(4) To take account of delivery conditions, the import licences should be valid from the day of their issue until the end of the month following that in which they are issued.
(5) With a view to the sound management of the quotas, provision should be made to derogate from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(3), as regards the transferable nature of the licences and the tolerance relating to the quantities released into free circulation.
(6) To ensure sound management of the quotas, the security on the import licences should be set at a relatively high level, by way of derogation from Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2305/2002(5).
(7) Rapid two-way communication should be established between the Commission and the Member States regarding the quantities applied for and imported.
(8) As Council Regulation (EC) No 2435/2000 of 17 October 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Romania(6) has been repealed by Decision 2003/18/EC, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2809/2000 of 20 December 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application, for cereals sector products, of Regulations (EC) No 2290/2000, (EC) No 2433/2000, (EC) No 2434/2000, (EC) No 2435/2000 and (EC) No 2851/2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania, and the Republic of Poland respectively and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1218/96(7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2864/2000(8), should be amended.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 requires the Council to adopt the measures necessary to ensure access to waters and resources and the sustainable pursuit of fishing activities taking account of available scientific advice and, in particular, the report prepared by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, as well as in the light of any advice received from the Baltic Sea Regional Advisory Council.
(2) Under Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, it is incumbent upon the Council to establish fishing opportunity limits by fishery or group of fisheries and the allocation of these opportunities to Member States.
(3) In order to ensure effective management of fishing opportunities, the specific conditions under which fishing operations are carried out should be established.
(4) The principles and certain procedures for fishery management need to be laid down at Community level, so that Member States can ensure the management of the vessels flying their flag.
(5) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 lays down definitions of relevance for the allocation of fishing opportunities.
(6) In accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96, the stocks that are subject to the various measures referred to therein are to be identified.
(7) Fishing opportunities should be used in accordance with Community legislation, and in particular with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States’ catches of fish (4), Council Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 of 22 September 1986 defining characteristics for fishing vessels (5), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1381/87 of 20 May 1987 establishing detailed rules concerning the marking and documentation of fishing vessels (6), Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 of 17 December 1991 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the North-East Atlantic (7), Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (8), Commission Regulation (EC) No 2244/2003 of 18 December 2003 laying down detailed provisions regarding satellite-based Vessel Monitoring Systems (9), and Council Regulation (EC) No 2187/2005 of 21 December 2005 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures in the Baltic Sea, the Belts and the Sound (10) and Regulation (EC) No 1098/2007.
(8) To ensure that annual fishing opportunities are set at a level commensurate with the sustainable exploitation of resources in environmental, economic and social terms, account has been taken of the guiding principles for fixing total allowable catches (TACs) as described in the Communication from the Commission to the Council on fishing opportunities for 2009: Policy Statement from the European Commission.
(9) To help conserve fish stocks, certain supplementary measures on technical conditions of fishing should be implemented in 2009.
(10) To ensure the livelihood of Community fishermen, it is important to open these fisheries on 1 January 2009. Given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period referred to in point I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1), (b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Community emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect human health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.
(2) High levels of melamine were found in infant milk and other milk products in China. Melamine is a chemical intermediate used in the manufacture of amino resins and plastics and is used as a monomer and as an additive for plastics. High levels of melamine in food can result in very severe health effects.
(3) To counter the risk for health that may result from exposure to the melamine content of feed and food products, Commission Decision 2008/798/EC imposing special conditions governing the import of products containing milk or milk products originating in or consigned from China, and repealing Commission Decision 2008/757/EC, provides for a prohibition to import into the Community products containing milk or milk products, intended for the particular nutritional use of infants and young children, and requires Member States to perform systematic checks at import on other feed and food containing milk or milk products. That Decision also requires Member States to withdraw from the market any such product found to contain melamine in excess of 2,5 mg/kg product.
(4) According to information made available by the Member States through the Rapid Alert System for Feed and Food, high level of melamine have been found recently also in products containing soya or soya products imported from China. Melamine has also been found in ammonium bicarbonate, used in food industry as raising agent. It is therefore appropriate to extend the measures laid down in Commission Decision 2008/798/EC also to those products.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2008/798/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 2, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in one production region in Belgium, exceptional support measures for the market in pigmeat were adopted for that Member State in Commission Regulation (EC) No 3337/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 334/93 (4);
Whereas it is necessary to adjust the buying-in price for pigs to the present market situation taking into account the increase in market prices as from 7 March 1994;
Whereas in view of a new outbreak of classical swine fever, the veterinary and commercial restrictions have been extended by the Belgian authorities to a new region at end February 1994; whereas it is appropriate to include, as from 7 March 1994, the animals coming from this region in the buying-in price scheme provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3337/93;
Whereas the region around the municipality of Wingede is no longer subject to veterinary and commercial restrictions and should therefore be excluded from the buying-in scheme provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3337/93;
Whereas an error has been found in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 3337/93 which has been applied from 9 February 1994; whereas this error should be corrected;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Regulation (EC) No 3337/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 4 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, 'ECU 105' is replaced by 'ECU 110' and 'ECU 89' is replaced by 'ECU 94';
(b) in paragraph 2, 'ECU 30' is replaced by 'ECU 36' and 'ECU 25,5' is replaced by 'ECU 31';
(c) in paragraph 3, 'ECU 23' is replaced by 'ECU 29' and 'ECU 19,5' is replaced by 'ECU 25';
2. Annex I is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 7 March 1994. However, the inclusion of point (i) into Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 3337/93 shall apply with effect from 9 February 1994.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products(1), as last amended by Directive 98/45/EC(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to obtain, for one or more of the mollusc diseases bonamiosis and marteiliosis - if caused by the agents Bonamia ostreae (B. ostreae) and Marteilia refringens (M. Refrigens) - the status of approved zone, Member States shall submit the appropriate justifications and the national rules ensuring compliance with the conditions laid down in Directive 91/67/EEC.
(2) Commission Decision 93/55/EEC(3), as amended by Decision 93/169/EEC(4), amends the guarantees for the introduction of molluscs into zones for which a programme for B. ostreae and M. refringens has been approved.
(3) The programme concerning bonamiosis and marteiliosis in Ireland was approved by Commission Decision 93/56/EEC(5).
(4) Council Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 of 12 March 1973 concerning the Community arrangements applicable to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man for trade in agricultural products(6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1174/86(7), lays down that the veterinary legislation shall apply to these islands under the same conditions as in the United Kingdom for the products imported to the islands or exported from the islands to the Community.
(5) The programmes concerning bonamiosis and marteiliosis submitted by the United Kingdom were approved by Commission Decisions 92/528/EEC(8) (Great Britain and Northern Ireland), 93/57/EEC(9) (Jersey), 93/58/EEC(10) (Guernsey) and 93/59/EEC(11) (the Isle of Man) respectively.
(6) Ireland has submitted the appropriate justifications required to obtain the status of approved zone, with regard to B. ostreae and M. refringens, for certain areas of Ireland, as well as the national rules ensuring compliance with the requirements for maintenance of the approved status.
(7) The United Kingdom has submitted the appropriate justifications required to obtain the status of approved zones, with regard to B. ostreae and M. refringens, for certain areas, as well as the respective national rules ensuring compliance with the requirements for maintenance of the approved status.
(8) The documentation provided by Ireland and the United Kingdom for the zones concerned shows that these zones meet the requirements of Article 5 of Council Directive 91/67/EEC. They therefore qualify for the status of approved zones.
(9) For the sake of clarity and simplification, it is appropriate to draw up a single list of all approved zones with regard to bonamiosis and marteiliosis and to repeal decisions approving programmes earlier applied to the zones that subsequently have achieved approved status.
(10) Decisions 92/528/EEC, 93/56/EEC, 93/57/EEC, 93/58/EEC and 93/59/EEC should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The zones recognised as approved zones with regard to B. ostreae and M. refringens are listed in the Annex.
Decisions 92/528/EEC, 93/56/EEC, 93/57/EEC, 93/58/EEC and 93/59/EEC are hereby repealed.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For cyflumetofen the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2010/244/EU (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the Netherlands received on 21 September 2009 an application from Otsuka Chemical Co. Ltd for the inclusion of the active substance cyflumetofen in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2010/244/EU confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 12 November 2010.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance cyflumetofen (4) on 16 December 2011. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and was finalised on 20 November 2012 in the format of the Commission review report for cyflumetofen.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing cyflumetofen may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve cyflumetofen.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing cyflumetofen. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance cyflumetofen, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing cyflumetofen as an active substance by 30 November 2013.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing cyflumetofen as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 May 2013 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing cyflumetofen as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2014 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing cyflumetofen as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 November 2014 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 36(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) contained the list of active substances approved at Union level for inclusion in biocidal products. Commission Directives 2008/78/EC (3), 2008/79/EC (4) and 2008/86/EC (5) added the active substances propiconazole, IPBC and tebuconazole, respectively, for use in products belonging to product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC. By virtue of Article 86 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, these substances are therefore approved active substances included in the list referred to in Article 9(2) of that Regulation.
(2) In accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, the company Arch Timber Protection Ltd submitted on 2 April 2010 an application to The United Kingdom for authorisation of a wood preservative biocidal product containing propiconazole, IPBC and tebuconazole (‘the contested product’). The United Kingdom authorised the contested product on 7 June 2012 for industrial use and temporary protection of freshly sawn/felled wood and unseasoned timber only, also indicating that wood treated with this product can be used for Use Classes 2 and 3 as described in the Technical Notes for Guidance on Product Evaluation (6). The product consists of two packs to be mixed and diluted at industrial premises depending on site-specific application conditions by dipping or enclosed deluge. Ten Member States have subsequently authorised the contested product through mutual recognition.
(3) Arch Timber Protection Ltd (‘the applicant’) submitted on 16 July 2012 a complete application to Germany for mutual recognition of the authorisation of the contested product granted by the United Kingdom.
(4) Germany notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant on 19 August 2013 of its proposal to refuse the authorisation in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany considered that the contested product does not meet the requirements of Article 5(1) of Directive 98/8/EC with regard to the environment.
(5) According to Germany, the authorisation did not reflect well that the product was intended for temporary wood protection and the product was not appropriately assessed by the United Kingdom in terms of environmental risks. The assessment performed by Germany concluded in an unacceptable risk for the environment at day 30 following the application of the product (‘time 1’), which also raised concerns regarding the potential use of wood treated with the contested product under Use Classes 2 and 3 conditions.
(6) Germany also considered that, since the ratio of the active substances and non-active substances in the working solutions of the product is variable, the product does not meet the definition of biocidal products in Article 2(a) of Directive 98/8/EC and should have been authorised as a frame formulation as defined by Article 2(j) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(7) The Commission invited other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notification in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. Comments were submitted within that deadline by Germany, The United Kingdom and the applicant. The notification was also discussed on 24 September 2013 in the meeting of the coordination group established under Article 35 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) With regard to the risks for the environment, from those discussions and comments it follows that the evaluation carried out by the United Kingdom, in the absence of an agreed model for temporary wood protection, followed the best guidance available at the time (7), which is based on models for treated wood to be placed on the market under Use Classes 2 and 3 conditions. The assessment was also based on a worst-case assumption of a complete release of the active substances at time 1.
(9) It also follows that the evaluation performed by the United Kingdom following those models is compatible with current guidance (8). Where a risk is identified at time 1 as a result of a worst-case assumption, safe use of treated wood under Use Classes 2 and 3 conditions can be assumed when the risk for the environment at the end of the service life is considered acceptable.
(10) The Commission also notes that cases where an unacceptable risk is identified at time 1 are currently under discussion at Union level in order to establish a harmonised approach. Against this background the Commission considers that, until such an approach is formally adopted, the conclusions of the assessment of the contested product by the United Kingdom should be considered as valid until the renewal of the product authorisation.
(11) With regard to the identity of the product, from those discussions and comments it follows that the contested product, in the form in which it is supplied to the industrial users, has specific fixed concentrations of the active and non-active substances. The Commission considers that the fact that industrial users can prepare different solutions of the product at the work place, which are process dependant, cannot be interpreted in a way as if the authorisation holder was placing on the market a group of different biocidal products as referred to in Article 2(j) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(12) In the light of those arguments, the Commission supports the conclusions of the evaluation carried out by the United Kingdom and the other Member States having approved the product through mutual recognition, considering that the contested product meets the definition in Article 2(a) of Directive 98/8/EC and fulfils the requirements set by Article 5(1) of that Directive with regard to the environment. The Commission therefore considers that the request by Germany to refuse the authorisation cannot be justified on the grounds put forward.
(13) Finally, on the basis of the discussions held, it appears necessary to explicitly mention in the product authorisation that the use of the product is for temporary wood protection and to ensure, as a condition for the authorisation, that specific instructions for use of the product are provided to industrial users taking into consideration the characteristics of the industrial sites where the product is to be used.
(14) Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 applies to the contested product in accordance with the provisions of Article 92(2) of that Regulation. Since the legal basis for this Decision is Article 36(3) of that Regulation, this decision should be addressed to all Member States by virtue of Article 36(4) of that Regulation.
(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
This Decision applies to products identified by the following application reference number in the Reference Member State, as provided for by the Register for Biocidal Products:
2010/2509/5687/UK/AA/6745
The proposal by Germany to refuse the authorisation granted by the United Kingdom on 7 June 2012 of the products referred to in Article 1, is rejected.
The intended use described in the product authorisation shall be amended as follows:
‘For temporary wood protection use against wood staining fungi and surface moulds on freshly sawn/felled wood and unseasoned timber only. Wood treated with this product can be used for Use Classes 2 and 3 (i.e. timbers not in ground contact, either continually exposed to the weather or protected from the weather but subject to frequent wetting).’
The following condition for authorisation is imposed to the products referred to in Article 1:
‘As a condition of the authorisation, the authorisation holder must ensure that detailed instructions for use of the product, taking into account the characteristics of the industrial site where the product is to be used, are provided to users at the site of application.’

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), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 545/2001(4), and in particular Article 92 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down inter alia, the detailed rules for disposing of stocks of alcohol obtained from distillation under Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Public sales of wine alcohol for use in the fuel sector in the Community should be organised with a view to reducing Community stocks of wine alcohol and to some extent ensuring supplies to firms approved under Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000. Community stocks of wine alcohol held by the Member States come from distillation under Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1677/1999(6).
(3) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(7), price offers and securities must be expressed, and payments made, in euro.
(4) Given that there are risks of fraud by substitution of alcohol, it would appear necessary to reinforce checks on the final destination of the alcohol, allowing the intervention agencies to call on the help of international control agencies and to check the alcohol sold by means of nuclear magnetic resonance analyses.
(5) The Management Committee for Wines has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Two lots of alcohol (references 1/2001 EC and 2/2001 EC) each comprising 50000 hectolitres at 100 % vol. are hereby put up for public sale for use in the fuel sector within the Community. The alcohol has been obtained from distillation as provided for in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and is held by the Spanish and Italian intervention agencies.
The location and references of the vats making up the lots, the quantity of alcohol in each vat, the alcoholic strength and the characteristics of the alcohol are as set out in the Annex hereto. The lots shall be awarded to the two firms approved under Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.
All communications concerning this public sale shall be sent to the following Commission department: European Commission Directorate-General for Agriculture

Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 , B - 1049 Brussels , Fax (32-2) 295 92 52 , telex 22037 AGREC B, 22070 AGREC B (Greek) , E-mail address: [email protected]
The public sales shall take place in accordance with Articles 92 to 96, 98, 100 and 101 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98.
The price of the alcohol for public sale shall be EUR 22,97 per hectolitre of alcohol at 100 % vol.
The performance security shall be EUR 30 per hectolitre of alcohol at 100 % vol. Unless a standing guarantee is provided, before removing any alcohol and by the day of issue of the removal order at the latest, the firms awarded the lots shall lodge a performance security with the intervention agency concerned to ensure that the alcohol in question is used as bioethanol in the fuel sector.
Against payment of EUR 10 per litre and within 30 days of the publication of the notice of public sale, the firms approved under Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 may obtain samples of the alcohol put up for sale from the intervention agency concerned. After that date, samples may be obtained in accordance with Article 98(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000. Samples issued to the approved firms shall amount to not more than five litres per vat.
The intervention agencies in the Member States in which the alcohol put up for sale is stored shall carry out appropriate checks to verify the nature of the alcohol at the time of end use. To that end, they may:
- apply, mutatis mutandis, the provisions of Article 102 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000,
- carry out checks on samples using nuclear magnetic resonance to verify the nature of the alcohol at the time of end-use.
The costs shall be borne by the companies to which the alcohol is sold.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, of the other part, and in particular Article 39 of Protocol 6 thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Article 15(7) of Protocol 6 (1) to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an Association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, of the other part (2) (hereafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’), allows drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, subject to certain conditions, until 31 December 2009.
(2) To provide clarity, long-term economic predictability and legal certainty for economic operators, the Parties to the Agreement have agreed to extend the application period of Article 15(7) of Protocol 6 to the Agreement by three years, with effect from 1 January 2010.
(3) Moreover, the rates of customs charges currently applicable in Algeria should be adjusted to bring them into line with those that apply in the European Union.
(4) Protocol 6 to the Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) Since Article 15(7) of Protocol 6 to the Agreement no longer applies as of 31 December 2009, this Decision should apply from 1 January 2010,

‘7. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, Algeria may, except for products falling within Chapters 1 to 24 of the Harmonised System, apply arrangements for drawback of, or exemption from, customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, applicable to non-originating materials used in the manufacture of originating products, subject to the following provisions:
(a) a 4 % rate of customs charge shall be retained in respect of products falling within Chapters 25 to 49 and 64 to 97 of the Harmonised System, or such lower rate as is in force in Algeria;
(b) an 8 % rate of customs charge shall be retained in respect of products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonised System, or such lower rate as is in force in Algeria.
This paragraph shall apply until 31 December 2012 and may be reviewed by common accord.’

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Union has been a contracting party to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (the ICCAT Convention) since 14 November 1997, following the adoption of Council Decision 86/238/EEC (2).
(2) The ICCAT Convention provides a framework for regional cooperation in the conservation and management of tuna and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and its adjacent seas. The ICCAT Convention established an International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) which adopts conservation and management measures. Those measures become binding on the contracting parties.
(3) In 1998, ICCAT adopted resolution 98-18 concerning the unreported and unregulated catches of tuna by large-scale long line vessels in the Convention area. That resolution established procedures for identifying countries whose vessels had fished for tuna and tuna-like species in a manner which diminished the effectiveness of ICCAT conservation and management measures. It also specified measures to be taken, including if necessary non-discriminatory trade restrictive measures, in order to prevent those countries’ vessels from continuing such fishing practices.
(4) Following the adoption of resolution 98-18, ICCAT has identified Bolivia, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia and Sierra Leone as countries whose vessels fish Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in a manner which diminishes the effectiveness of its conservation and management measures. ICCAT has substantiated its findings with data concerning catches, trade and the activities of vessels.
(5) As a consequence, ICCAT recommended that contracting parties take appropriate measures, consistent with the provisions of its resolution 98-18, to prohibit imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna and its products in any form from those countries.
(6) In 2004, imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna originating in Bolivia, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia and Sierra Leone into the Union were prohibited by Council Regulation (EC) No 827/2004 (3).
(7) At its 14th special meeting in 2004, ICCAT acknowledged the efforts made by Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea and Sierra Leone to address its concerns and adopted recommendations lifting trade-restrictive measures against those three countries in relation to Atlantic bigeye tuna and its products.
(8) As a consequence, Council Regulation (EC) No 919/2005 (4) amended Regulation (EC) No 827/2004 to lift the prohibition on imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna and its products from Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea and Sierra Leone into the Union. Following that amendment, Regulation (EC) No 827/2004 only prohibits such imports from Bolivia and Georgia.
(9) At its 22nd regular annual meeting in 2011, ICCAT acknowledged the actions taken by Bolivia and Georgia and adopted recommendation 11-19 lifting the prohibition on imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna and its products that continued to apply to those two countries.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 827/2004 should therefore be repealed,
Regulation (EC) No 827/2004 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 27,838/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission and hence the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission.
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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2230/2004
of 23 December 2004
laying down detailed rules for the implementation of European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 with regard to the network of organisations operating in the fields within the European Food Safety Authority’s mission
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 36(3) thereof,
Having consulted the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) Networking between the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authority’) and the Member States’ organisations operating in the fields within the Authority’s mission is one of the basic principles of the Authority’s operation. It is therefore necessary to stipulate how this principle should be implemented, in accordance with Article 36(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, in order to ensure efficiency.
(2) Certain bodies in the Member States carry out tasks at national level which are similar to those of the Authority. Networking must make it possible to foster a framework for scientific cooperation allowing information and knowledge to be shared, common tasks to be identified, and optimum use to be made of resources and expertise. It is also important to facilitate the compilation of a Community-level summary of the data on food and feed safety collected by these bodies.
(3) As these bodies are to be entrusted with certain tasks with a view to assisting the Authority with its general mission as defined by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, it is essential for them to be designated by the Member States on the basis of criteria covering scientific and technical competence, efficiency and independence.
(4) Member States need to provide the Authority with evidence of compliance with the necessary criteria for the inclusion of competent bodies on the list drawn up by the Authority’s Management Board.
(5) Member States must also stipulate the specific areas of competence of the competent bodies designated, so as to facilitate the operation of the network. Thus, in accordance with European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (2), when preparing an opinion on a request for authorisation of a genetically modified food or feed, the Authority may ask a Member State’s competent body for assessing foods and feeds to carry out a safety assessment of the relevant food or feed in accordance with Article 36 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
(6) In accordance with the provisions of Article 27(4)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, it is important for the Advisory Forum to be able to ensure close cooperation with the Authority and the competent bodies of the Member States by promoting the European networking of organisations operating within the fields of the Authority’s mission.
(7) The tasks entrusted to the competent bodies on the list must involve providing the Authority with assistance with its mission to provide scientific and technical support in relation to Community policy and legislation, without prejudice to the Authority’s responsibility for performing its tasks pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
(8) Financial support must be granted on the basis of criteria which ensure that such support contributes efficiently and effectively to the performance of the Authority’s tasks and to the Community priorities as regards scientific and technical support in the fields concerned.
(9) It is important to ensure on a general basis that the tasks entrusted by the Authority to the network’s member organisations are performed to high scientific and technical standards, efficiently (also with regard to deadlines) and independently. However, the Authority must remain responsible for allocating tasks to the competent bodies and for monitoring performance.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Competent organisations designated by the Member States
1. The competent organisations designated by the Member States in accordance with Article 36(2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 shall meet the following criteria:

(b) they must be legal entities pursuing public interest objectives, and their organisational arrangements must include specific procedures and rules ensuring that any tasks entrusted to them by the Authority will be performed with independence and integrity;
(c) they must possess a high level of scientific or technical expertise in one or several fields within the Authority’s mission, especially those with a direct or indirect impact on food or feed safety;
(d) they must have the capacity to operate in a network on scientific actions as referred to in Article 3 of this Regulation and/or the capacity to perform efficiently the types of task referred to in Article 4 of this Regulation which may be entrusted to them by the Authority.
2. Member States shall forward to the Authority, with a copy to the Commission, the names and details of the designated organisations, evidence that they comply with the criteria set out in paragraph 1, and details of their specific fields of competence. In particular, for the purposes of application of Articles 6(3)(b) and 18(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, Member States shall forward the names and details of the competent organisations in the field of safety assessment of genetically modified foods and feeds.
Where a designated organisation operates as part of a network, this shall be mentioned, and the network operating conditions shall be described.
In cases where it is a specific part of the designated organisation which has the ability and the capacity to operate in a network on scientific actions and/or perform the tasks which may be entrusted to them by the Authority, this shall be stipulated by the Member States.
3. Where designated organisations no longer meet the criteria set out in paragraph 1, Member States shall withdraw their designation and immediately inform the authority, with a copy to the Commission, accompanied by the relevant evidence.
Member States shall review the list of organisations they have designated regularly, and at least every three (3) years.
Establishing of the list of competent organisations
1. The Authority shall ensure that the organisations designated by the Member States comply with the criteria set out in Article 1(1). Where necessary, the Member States shall be asked, by reasoned request, to add to the evidence referred to in Article 1(2).
2. The Authority’s Management Board, acting on a proposal from the Executive Director, shall draw up the list of competent organisations, stating their specific fields of competence, especially in the field of safety assessment of genetically modified foods and feeds, on the basis of the procedure set out in paragraph 1.
3. The list provided for in paragraph 2 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the list’) shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union (‘C’ series).
4. The list shall be updated regularly, on the basis of proposals from the Authority’s Executive Director, taking account of reviews or new designation proposals from the Member States.
Networking between the Authority and the organisations on the list
1. The Authority shall foster networking with the organisations on the list so as to promote active scientific cooperation in the fields within its mission, especially those with a direct or indirect impact on food or feed safety.
To this end the Authority, on the basis of work carried out within its Advisory Forum, shall identify scientific actions of common interest which could be undertaken within the network.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 of 19 April 2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals (2), should an offer be admissible, operators are be informed as soon as possible of the delivery schedule. To this end, under Article 4(3) of that Regulation the final delivery to the intervention centre for which the offer is made must take place not later than the end of the fourth month following the month during which the offer was received.
(2) The 2004/2005 marketing year is the first year of application of the intervention mechanism for cereals in the Member States which joined the European Community on 1 May 2004.
(3) Good weather conditions led to a bumper harvest in 2004 in the new Member States, resulting in domestic market prices well below the intervention price. As a result, since the intervention period was opened in November 2004, relatively large quantities of cereals have been offered for intervention. Due to the large quantities offered for intervention and their geographical spread, it is not possible to comply with the delivery deadline of 31 March 2005. To allow sufficient quantities of cereals offered to be taken over, the delivery period should be extended, and a derogation should therefore be made from Regulation (EC) No 824/2000.
(4) Given the urgency of the market situation, which requires immediate measures, provision should be made for the immediate application of the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, in the 2004/2005 marketing year the last delivery of cereals offered for intervention in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia must take place not later than the end of the sixth month following the month during which the offer was received, and in any event not later than 31 July 2005.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2836/98 of 22 December 1998 on integrating of gender issues in development cooperation
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130w thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 189c of the Treaty (2),
(1) Whereas the importance of women's economic and social roles in developing countries has led to increasing international recognition that their full participation without discrimination is indispensable for sustainable and effective development;
(2) Whereas their contribution to development is presently achieved in the face of formidable obstacles specific to women, limiting the outcome of their work and reducing the benefits to society as a whole;
(3) Whereas these obstacles include persistent and severe disparities between women and men in the right to equal participation in development for women, access to basic services, particularly in the areas of education, training and health, access to decision-making and control over economic resources;
(4) Whereas development interventions have frequently failed to address adequately the differences between women's and men's situations, roles, opportunities and priorities, thereby reducing their overall success;
(5) Whereas redressing gender disparities and enhancing the role of women are crucial for social justice and the effectiveness of development efforts;
(6) Whereas development cooperation must encourage the necessary accompanying changes in attitudes, structures and mechanisms at political, economic, legal, community and household level;
(7) Whereas it is now recognized that though specific efforts to enhance the role of women in development remain as necessary as ever, the focus must widen to encompass both men's and women's roles, responsibilities, needs, access to resources and decision-making, and the inter-relationship between them, known as gender issues;
(8) Whereas development effectiveness requires that gender analysis should be systematically integrated into the conception, design, implementation and evaluation of all development interventions and strategies;
(9) Whereas the foregoing analysis is set out in more detail in the Commission's communication to the Council and the European Parliament on integrating gender issues in development cooperation of 18 September 1995 and was endorsed by the Council in its Resolution of 20 December 1995;
(10) Whereas in a series of conclusions from 1982 to 1993 the Council has stressed the importance it attaches to women's role in development;
(11) Whereas the Community and its Member States were signatories to the Nairobi Forward-Looking Strategies in 1985 and to the Declaration and Platform for Action of the Fourth World Conference on Women at Beijing in 1995, which stressed the need for action against worldwide obstacles to gender equality and to ensure that this perspective is reflected in all policies and programmes;
(12) Whereas the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (1979) considers discrimination against women as an obstacle to development which parties agree to eliminate using all appropriate means, and the UN Declaration on the Right to Development (1986) emphasizes the right of all persons to participate in and contribute to development and the need to undertake effective measures to ensure that women have an active role in the development process;
(13) Whereas the European Parliament has emphasized in numerous Resolutions, and particularly in its Resolution of 14 May 1992 on the situation of women in developing countries and its Resolution of 15 June 1995 on the fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, the need to integrate proper attention to women's roles and priorities in Community development cooperation and to take adequate measures to ensure active implementation of the conclusions of the Beijing Conference;
(14) Whereas the Resolution of the Council and the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States of 20 December 1995 endorses the Commission's communication on the same subject, requires the full integration of gender issues in development cooperation and coordination between the Commission and Member States in this field, and sets out guidelines which also translate into the field of development cooperation the political commitments undertaken at Beijing;
(15) Whereas this approach is further endorsed by the Resolution of the Council and the Member States on human and social development of 22 November 1996;
(16) Whereas the recognized importance of these issues to development effectiveness makes it appropriate to envisage specific activities aimed at ensuring adequate attention to gender issues across the mainstream of Community financial instruments, which should increasingly assume responsibility for these key questions;
(17) Whereas the most effective approach is strategic and precisely targeted sensitization initiatives capable of achieving a substantial multiplier effect, rather than the funding of small-scale operational projects; whereas Community development cooperation aid should also be used to a greater extent for specific action in favour of women;
(18) Whereas the importance of Community activities in the field of development cooperation necessitates measures by the Community to ensure its implementation of its commitments at Beijing, complementary to those undertaken by Member States;
(19) Whereas measures need to be taken to finance the activities covered by this Regulation;
(20) Whereas a financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 2 of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995 on the incorporation of financial provisions into legislative acts (3) is included in this Regulation for the period 1999 to 2003, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty;
(21) Whereas detailed rules for implementation, and in particular the form of action, the recipients of the aid and the decision-making procedures should be laid down,
1. The Community shall provide financial assistance and technical expertise to support the mainstreaming of the gender perspective into all its development cooperation policies and interventions.
2. The assistance provided pursuant to this Regulation shall complement, reinforce and coordinate assistance provided pursuant to other instruments of development cooperation, including those existing at intergovernmental and/or national level, with a view to taking fully into account gender considerations in Community policies and interventions.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation 'gender issues` means the different and interrelated roles, responsibilities and opportunities of women and men relative to development, which are culturally specific and socially constructed, and can change over time, inter alia, as a result of policy interventions.
1. The following are the central objectives of activities to be carried out pursuant to this Regulation:
(a) to support the mainstreaming of gender analysis in all areas of development cooperation, taking particular account of the legal and actual status of women and men, their needs and their contribution to society and the family; to support the adoption of a gender-sensitive approach in the conception, design and implementation of Community development policies and interventions at macro, meso and micro level, as well as in their monitoring and evaluation;
(b) to support and facilitate the inclusion of actions addressing major gender disparities and on an appropriately large scale, particularly with regard to access to resources, services and participation in the decision-making processes in political, economic and social life, in the mainstream of Community development interventions;
(c) to lead progressively to a situation in 2003 where a substantially increased percentage of Community interventions satisfy the OECD/DAC criteria for gender integration or positive action;
(d) to develop and promote endogenous public and private capacities in developing countries which can take the responsibility and initiative for mainstreaming the gender dimension in the development effort.
2. Activities eligible for financing include, in particular:
- provision of technical advice and support on the integration of gender issues in development interventions;
- activities aimed at including gender implications in analyses, policies, country and sector strategies;

3. Particular attention will be given to incorporating gender issues into emerging areas of development cooperation.
Beneficiaries of activities carried out under this Regulation may include public authorities and government agencies, decentralized departments, regional bodies, universities and research centres, traditional and local communities, trade unions, non-governmental organizations, public utility associations and associations representing local people, particularly women, as well as cooperatives and agricultural and craft-based credit institutions.

(2000/522/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community(3), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 31 August 1996, the Commission announced, by two separate notices published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding(4) as well as an anti-subsidy proceeding(5) in respect of imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway.
(2) The Commission sought and verified all informaton that it deemed necessary for the purpose of its definitive findings. As a result of this examination, it was established that definitive anti-dumping and countervailing measures should be adopted in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidisation. All interested parties were informed of the results of the investigation and were given the opportunity to comment thereon.
(3) On 26 September 1997, the Commission adopted Decision 97/634/EC(6), accepting undertakings offered in connection with the two above-mentioned proceedings from the exporters listed in the Annex to the Decision and terminating the investigations in their respect.
(4) On the same day, the Council, by Regulations (EC) No 1890/97(7) and (EC) No 1891/97(8) imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. Imports of farmed Atlantic salmon exported by companies from which an undertaking had been accepted were exempted from that duty pursuant to Article 1(2) of those Regulations.
(5) The above-mentioned Regulations set out the definitive findings and conclusions on all aspects of the investigations. The form of the duties having been reviewed, Regulations (EC) No 1890/97 were replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 772/1999(9).
B. OBLIGATIONS OF EXPORTERS WITH UNDERTAKINGS
(6) The text of the undertakings provides that failure to submit a quarterly report of all sales transactions to the first unrelated customer in the Community within a prescribed time-limit would, except in case of force majeure, be construed as a violation of the undertaking.
(7) For the fourth quarter of 1999, one Norwegian company, Fryseriet AS, failed to present such a sales report within the prescribed time limit, despite a reminder sent to it 24 hours before the quaterly deadline. The company was subsequently given an opportunity to inform the Commission of any reasons which may have prevented its report from being received within the time limit, however, no reply was received.
(8) Fryseriet AS was then sent disclosure in writing concerning the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive duties against it. The company was also given an opportunity to submit comments and request a hearing, however, as before, it did not react.
(9) In view of the above, it is considered necessary to withdraw acceptance of the undertaking offered by Fryseriet AS and to impose definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties against it. Accordingly, the name of this company should be deleted from the Annex to Decision 97/634/EC which lists the companies from which undertakings are accepted.
(10) In parallel to this Decision, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1783/2000(10), has also withdrawn the exemption from the anti-dumping and countervailing duties granted to this company.
C. NEW EXPORTERS
(11) Following the original imposition of definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties, several Norwegian companies have made themselves known to the Commission claiming to be new exporters and requested, in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 772/1999 in conjuction with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 that the exemption to the duties be extended to them.
(12) In this regard, five such exporters, Emborg Foods Norge AS, Helle Mat AS, Norsea Food AS, Salmon Company Fjord Norway AS and Stella Polaris AS demonstrated that they had not exported the product concerned to the Community during the investigation period which led to the current anti-dumping and countervailing duties ("the original investigation period").
(13) These companies also showed that they are not related to any of the companies in Norway which are subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties. In addition, they provided evidence of exports of the product concerned to the Community after the original investigation period, or proof that they had entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant amount of the product concerned to the Community.
(14) The companies concerned have offered undertakings which are identical to those previously offered by other Norwegian companies exporting farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. By doing so, they have all agreed to provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the Community.
(15) Since undertakings on such terms can be monitored effectively by the Commission, and their acceptance would eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidisation, the offers are considered acceptable.
(16) The companies concerned have been informed of the essential facts, considerations and obligations upon which acceptance of the undertakings given by them are based.
(17) Their names should therefore be added to the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in the Annex to Decision 97/634/EC.
D. CHANGE OF NAME
(18) Two other Norwegian exporters with undertakings, Agnefest AS and Norway Seafoods ASA advised the Commission that the names of the companies have changed to Rosfjord Seafood AS and Frionor AS respectively. The Commission has therefore verified and confirmed that there were no changes to the corporate structure which warranted a more detailed examination of the appropriateness of the companies maintaining their undertakings.
(19) Accordingly, the names of these companies should be amended in the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in the Annex to Decision 97/634/EC.
E. CESSATION OF TRADING BY A NORWEGIAN COMPANY
(20) The Commission has also been advised that another Norwegian company from which an undertaking was accepted, Atlantic King Stranda A/S, has ceased to trade and has been wound up. Accordingly, the name of this company should be deleted from the list of companies in the Annex to Decision 97/634/EC.
F. AMENDMENT OF THE ANNEX TO DECISION 97/634/EC
(21) The Advisory Committee has been consulted on all of the above changes and amendments to Decision 97/634/EC and has raised no objections.
(22) For the sake of clarity, however, an updated version of Annex to Decision 97/634/EC should be published herewith, showing the exporters whose undertakings are currently in force.
The Annex to Decision 97/634/EC is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 1 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community rules concerning trade with non-member countries in agricultural products subject to a common organization of the market apply to the Isle of Man in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Protocol 3 to the 1972 Act of Accession and with Regulation (EEC) No 706/73 (1);
Whereas livestock production is a traditional activity in the Isle of Man and plays a central part in the island's agriculture;
Whereas, prior to the introduction of the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat within the Community, the Isle of Man, as part of its local market organization, applied certain mechanisms to control imports of sheepmeat into the island in order to ensure that the need to supply the requirements of the trade could be met whilst avoiding distortions in the pattern of sheep production and, indirectly, in cattle production on the island and in its own agricultural support system;
Whereas in the context of the trade arrangements with certain non-member countries pursuant to the common organization of the market which apply to the Isle of Man, subject to the Community provisions which govern the relationship between the island and the Community, it is desirable to permit the island authorities to apply certain measures in order to protect its own production and the working of its own agricultural support system;
Whereas by Decision 82/530/EEC (2), the United Kingdom was authorized to permit the Isle of Man Government to apply a system of special licences for imports of sheepmeat and beef and veal originating in non-member countries and in Member States of the Community, without prejudice to the measures concerning trade with non-member countries provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (3), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession and Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 871/84 (5), for a period of two years ending on 31 March 1984;
Whereas, in the light of experience gained during the application of the system in question, it is desirable to extend the system for another five years with the possibility of further reviewing the situation at the end of that period;
Whereas Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC should therefore be amended,
Article 2 of Decision 82/530/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 31 March 1988.
Before 1 January 1987, the Commission shall present to the Council a report on the application of the system, together with any proposals for the retention of, or amendment to, this Decision.'

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the addition of vitamins and minerals and of certain other substances to foods (1), and in particular Articles 11(2)(b) and 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 on the addition of vitamins and minerals and of certain other substances to foods, in the absence of Community provision, provides for the notification and the assessment of national new provisions concerning, inter alia, the prohibition or restriction on the use of certain other substances in the manufacture of specified foods.
(2) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 read in conjunction with Article 11(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, the Czech authorities notified the Commission on 30 November 2007 of a draft Decree laying down requirements for food supplements and the enrichment of foodstuffs, and in particular Articles 2(3) and 4 as well as the Annexes 4 and 5 thereto.
(3) Article 2(3) of the draft Decree establishes by means of Annex 4 thereto a list of other substances in the sense of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, as well as the respective conditions under which these substances may be used in the manufacture of food supplements.
(4) Articles 2(3) and 4 of the draft Decree establish by means of Annex 5 thereto a list of plants and other substances that are prohibited in the manufacture of food supplements and foodstuffs in general.
(5) In accordance with the provisions of Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, the Commission consulted the other Member States via the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(6) The draft Decree, as it currently stands, does not indicate why the substances contained in Annex 4 have to comply with the thresholds thereof based on public health reasons.
(7) In the absence of harmonised Community legislation, Member States retain their competence to regulate the production and marketing of goods in their territory without prejudice to the Articles 28 and 30 of the EC Treaty.
(8) In particular, Article 2(3) of the draft Decree read in conjunction with Annex 4 thereto appears to suggest that substances other than those listed therein are not permitted to be used in the manufacture of food supplements.
(9) Even if were demonstrated that Annex 4 is justified on the basis of public health reasons, the draft decree does not indicate how products, lawfully produced and/or marketed in other Member States that do not comply with the requirements laid down in Articles 2(3) and 4 thereof will be treated.
(10) The draft Decree does not contain any provision ensuring the free movement of food supplements lawfully produced and/or marketed in other Member States which contain substances that are included in Annex 4 thereto but not in accordance with the conditions laid down therein, or substances other than those included in Annex 4 thereto either in the form of a mutual recognition clause or in the form of an approval procedure enabling economic operators to have such substances included on the national list of authorised substances.
(11) Pursuant to Articles 2(3) and 4 of the notified Decree read in conjunction with Annex 5 thereto, food supplements and foodstuffs in general shall contain no narcotic or psychotropic substances, nor precursors of Category 1, nor any other substance demonstrated to have a toxic, genotoxic, teratogenic, hallucinogenic, narcotic or other unfavourable effects on the human body, nor any of the substances contained in Annex 5 thereto. The prohibition of certain other substances for the manufacture of food supplements and foodstuffs in general may be justified on grounds of the protection of health and life of humans within the meaning of Article 30 EC Treaty.
(12) Since the latter article provides for an exception, to be interpreted strictly, to the rule of free movement of goods within the Community, it is for the national authorities which invoke it to show in each case, in the light of national nutritional habits and in the light of the results of international scientific research, that their rules are necessary to give effective protection to the interests referred to in that provision and, in particular, that the marketing of the products in question poses a real risk to public health.
(13) The Czech authorities have not provided any evidence that would justify the establishment of a list containing prohibited substances to be used in the manufacture of food supplements and foodstuffs in general.
(14) Even if such evidence were provided, the draft Decree does not contain any provision ensuring the free movement of food supplements and foodstuffs in general lawfully produced and/or marketed in other Member States which contain substances not permitted thereby.
(15) Therefore, the draft Decree fails to provide adequate guarantees that the rights of the economic operators deriving from Articles 28 and 30 of the EC Treaty.
(16) In light of these observations, the Commission has delivered a negative opinion pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006.
(17) The Czech authorities should accordingly be requested not to adopt the draft Decree in question and modify it in accordance with Articles 28 and 30 of the EC Treaty taking into account the observations of the Commission in its negative opinion.
(18) The measures provided for in this Decision are in line with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The Czech Republic is required to refrain from adopting its draft Decree laying down requirements for food supplements and the enrichment of foodstuffs, unless it is amended in accordance with Paragraph 2.
2. The Czech Republic is required to amend the draft Decree at issue in order to include a clear reference as to the treatment of products which do not comply with the requirements of the notified draft, but are lawfully produced and/or marketed in other EU Member States, Turkey or EEA States.
This Decision is addressed to the Czech Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144(1) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 (2) provides that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (3) applies to Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005, save where otherwise provided.
(2) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005, where applications for import rights exceed 5 % of the quantity available under the quota, the excess has to be disregarded. It is appropriate to delete that provision in order to align the provisions in Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 to those in Article 6(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.
(3) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 provides that, following the notification by the Member States of the quantities applied for import rights, the Commission has to decide as soon as possible to which extent those applications can be met. Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 provides that an allocation coefficient should only be fixed in cases where the quantities covered by applications exceed the quantities available for the import tariff quota period. Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 being a horizontal Regulation, the current provision of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 should therefore be deleted. Moreover, it is necessary to lay down the time period within which import rights should be awarded.
(4) For cases where such allocation coefficient is fixed, it is necessary to specify that the securities lodged together with the applications for import rights under Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 should then be released proportionally.
(5) The second subparagraph of Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 provides that each issuing of an import licence has to result in a corresponding reduction of the import rights obtained. It is appropriate to specify that when issuing an import licence the security lodged together with the application for import rights should then be released proportionally.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EC) No 2172/2005 is amended as follows:
1. the second subparagraph of Article 3(2) is deleted;
2. Article 4 is amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(b) the following paragraph 3 is added:
3. in Article 6(2), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides that certain measures are to be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4).
(2) Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.
(3) In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (5) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.
(4) The Commission should be empowered to adopt common conditions on research and development, to adapt the annexes and to adopt the review programme. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 98/8/EC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(5) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since the amendments made to Directive 98/8/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,

(2) Pursuant to Article 8(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, the Commission may, at its discretion, restrict depreciation at the time of buying in to a proportion of this depreciation percentage, but such proportion may not be less than 70 %. Coefficients to be applied also for the 2003 financial year by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of products should be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
In respect of the products listed in the Annex, which, having been bought in by public intervention have entered store or been taken over by the intervention agencies between 1 October 2002 and 30 September 2003, the authorities shall depreciate their value to account for the difference between the buying-in prices and the foreseeable selling prices of the relevant products.
To establish the amount of the depreciation, the intervention agencies shall apply to the values of the products bought in every month the coefficients set out in the Annex.
The expenditure amounts determined in this way shall be notified to the Commission under the declarations established pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96(3).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas export refunds on products subject to the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products must be fixed in accordance with certain criteria which would make it possible to cover the difference between the prices for those products within the Community and in international trade, while respecting the general aims of the common organisation ; whereas to this end the supply situation for milk products and prices for these products within the Community and the price situation in international trade should be taken into account;
Whereas, in view of the disparity between the prices quoted for milk products, costs incurred in placing these products on the market should be taken into account for the purpose of covering the difference between prices in international trade and prices ruling within the Community;
Whereas, if price trends are to be noted, prices must be determined in accordance with certain principles ; whereas to this end prices on third country markets and in countries of destination, producer prices recorded in third countries and free-at-Community-frontier prices should be taken into account when prices on the world market are being determined ; whereas, in the absence of representative markets for milk products, the ruling prices which are most favourable from the exportation point of view should be used as a basis in determining Community prices;
Whereas provision must be made for varying the amount of the refund according to the destination of the products, since markets in the countries of destination are at varying distances from Community markets and special conditions apply to imports in certain countries of destination;
Whereas to guarantee Community exporters some stability in the amount of the refund and certainty with regard to the list of products eligible for a refund, refunds should be fixed at regular intervals determined in accordance with normal trade practice ; whereas, for the same reason, provision should be made for advance fixing;
Whereas, to avoid distortions of competition, the administrative conditions under which individual Community traders operate must be identical throughout the Community ; whereas there does not appear to be justification in every case for granting a refund where the products in question are imported from third countries and re-exported to third countries ; whereas the payment, under certain conditions, of an amount equal to the levy collected on importation is sufficient to allow these products to be placed on the world market again;
This Regulation lays down rules for fixing and granting refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 exported in the state referred to therein.
The following shall be taken into account when refunds are being fixed: (a) the existing situation and the future trend with regard to: - prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market;
- prices for milk and milk products in international trade; 1OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 13.
(b) marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports and other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination;
(c) the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market;
(d) the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market;
(e) the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
1. When prices within the Community are being determined the ruling prices which are the most favourable from the exportation point of view shall be taken into account.
2. When prices in international trade are being determined particular account shall be taken of: (a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries ; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
Where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary, the refund for the Community may be varied according to the destination of the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
1. The list of products on which an export refund is granted and the amount of such refund shall be fixed at least once every four weeks.
The amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
2. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 3, the amount of the export refund on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be that applicable on the day of exportation.
3. The amount of the refund may be fixed in advance.
In that event, if the party concerned so requests when applying for the licence, the refund applicable on the day on which the application for a licence is lodged shall be applied to exports effected during the period of validity of the licence.
The refund fixed in advance shall however be adjusted: (a) on the basis of the threshold price in force at the time of exportation for the pilot product of the group to which the product in question belongs, and
(b) on the basis of the aid applicable at the time of exportation for products entitled to aid and for those in which such products are incorporated.
The provisions of the preceding subparagraphs may be applied in whole or in part to each of the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
The pilot products and product groups referred to in the third subparagraph are those set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 823/68 1.
1. The refund shall be paid upon proof: - that the products have been exported from the Community, and
- that the products are of Community origin, except where the provisions of Article 7 apply.
2. Where Article 4 applies, the refund shall be paid under the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, provided it is proved that the product has reached the destination for which the refund was fixed.
Exceptions may be made to this rule in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article, provided conditions are laid down which offer equivalent guarantees.
3. Additional provisions may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
1. No export refund shall be granted on products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 which are imported from third countries and re-exported to third countries, unless the exporter proves: - that the product to be exported and the product previously imported are one and the same, and
- that the levy was collected on importation.
2. In such cases the refund on each product shall be equal to the levy collected on importation where 1OJ No L 151, 30.6.1968, p. 3.
this levy is equal to or lower than the refund applicable on the day of exportation ; the refund shall be equal to the refund applicable on the day of exportation where the levy collected on importation is higher than this refund.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 July 1968.
It shall apply from 29 July 1968.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to 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 (EC) No 3669/93 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
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 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3528/94 (4), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down the prices and amounts fixed in ecus as a result of the monetary realignments (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/93 (6), and in particular Article 2 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 commerial 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 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 Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 establishes a list of prices and amounts for the fruit and vegetables sector which are to be divided by a coefficient of 1,002583, fixing by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 537/93 (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1331/93 (8), as from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 lays down that the resulting reduction in the prices and amounts for each sector concerned shall be specified and the level of such reduced prices fixed; whereas, however, this adjustment may not result in a reference price level below that of the preceding marketing year, in accordance with Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
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 1994 marketing year, the reference prices for cucumbers (CN code 0707 00 11, 19), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- February (from 11 to 20): 144,61,
(from 21 to 28): 122,42,
- March: 112,14,
- April: 92,76,
- May: 76,12,
- June: 63,76,
- July: 48,28,
- August: 48,65,
- September: 57,62,
- from 1 October to 10 November: 81,62.
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 1994.

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 the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of 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, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) 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.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(9) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Articles 18 and 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (2), a manufacturer must ensure that each new light commercial vehicle placed on the market in the Union is accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity and a Member State may not register such a vehicle unless it is accompanied by such a certificate. In accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, data collected by a Member State to monitor the manufacturer’s compliance with Articles 4 and 11 of that Regulation are to be consistent with a certificate of conformity and based on this document only.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (3) requires the Member States to use the certificate of conformity as a data source but allows for the use of other documents providing equivalent accuracy for the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from passenger cars. In order to ensure cost-efficient and accurate monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions data for light commercial vehicles, it is appropriate in the short-term to allow Member States to use the same procedure and data sources for the monitoring and reporting under Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 as those used for reporting under Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should, where duly justified, allow for the use of other data sources providing equivalent accuracy for CO2 monitoring and reporting purposes. The Member States should put the necessary measures in place to ensure adequate accuracy in the monitoring procedure.
(3) Based on the experience gained from the monitoring of CO2 emissions from passenger cars, it is appropriate, in order to improve the means for verifying the accuracy of the data, to add type-approval number as a detailed data parameter to be reported by Member States. It has also become evident that there is no need for the parameter ‘commercial name’ which therefore should be deleted from the detailed monitoring data.
(4) In order to ensure clarity and precision in the monitoring and reporting by Member States, it is also necessary to ensure consistency between the different requirements specified in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. The detailed data requirements are specified in the reporting formats set out in Part C of Annex II. Parts A and B of that Annex should therefore be adjusted to reflect those detailed data requirements accurately.
(5) Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Until 2012, sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies and similar articles of any material were classified in different Chapters of the Harmonised System nomenclature, depending on the nature or constituent material of the article. Different rates of customs duty were associated with those articles. This led to a complex tariff system of classification.
(2) In 2012, a single heading 961900 was created in the Harmonised System to cover those sanitary articles. However, the same complex tariff system of classification was kept under the new heading, which was divided into twelve subheadings according to the constituent material, each corresponding to a different conventional rate of duty.
(3) That complex system has been found to lead to unnecessary difficulties and burdens in the application of the Combined Nomenclature. In the interest of legislative simplification and to avoid unnecessary difficulties in applying the Combined Nomenclature, it is therefore appropriate to simplify both the Combined Nomenclature and the tariff structure for those sanitary articles, in order to implement four categories of products (instead of eight), each of them associated with a single autonomous rate of duty.
(4) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,

Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;

Whereas 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 Eastern Scotland concerned by Objective 2 in the United Kingdom, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) On 19 November 1998, an anti-dumping proceeding was initiated by the Commission(2) on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel ("the product concerned") originating, inter alia, in Ukraine.
(2) This proceeding resulted in an anti-dumping duty being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 348/2000(3) in February 2000 in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(3) In parallel, by Decision 2000/137/EC(4), the Commission accepted a joint price undertaking up to a certain volume threshold incorporating measures aimed at monitoring the undertaking from three Ukrainian exporting producers, Dnepropetrovsk Tube Works ("DTW"), Nikopol Pivdennotrubny Works (transferred later to Nikopolsky Seamless Tube Plant, "Niko Tube"(5)) and Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant ("NTRP"). Accordingly, imports of the product concerned from these exporting producers were exempted from the said anti-dumping duty.
B. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF THE JOINT UNDERTAKING
(4) DTW, Niko Tube and NTRP advised the Commission that they wished to withdraw this joint undertaking. Accordingly, by Commission Decision 2002/669/EC(6), the names of these companies have been deleted from the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in Article 1 of Decision 2000/137/EC.
C. AMENDMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 348/2000
(5) In view of the above and pursuant to Article 8(9) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 should be amended accordingly, and the exporting producers should be subject to the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty for the Ukraine as set in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 (38,5 %),
The table in Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 shall be replaced by the following table:

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3731/90
of 13 December 1990
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for prepared or preserved sardines, originating in Morocco (1991)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 4 of Protocol 1 to the Agreement on relations in the sea fisheries sector between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco (1) states that prepared or preserved sardines falling within CN code ex 1604 13 10 or ex 1604 20 50 and originating in Morocco shall be imported duty-free into the Community within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 17 500 tonnes (net weight); whereas, in order to ensure a regular flow to the Community market under this quota, the quantities destined for that market may not exceed 60 % of the total volume of the quota in the first half of the year and may not exceed 35 % in the first quarter of the year; whereas at the end of each of these periods the quantities of the products in question which have been allocated to the Member States and remain unused by the latter should be returned immediately to the Community reserve;
Whereas, within the limits of the tariff quota, Spain and Portugal shall apply the customs duties calculated according to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88 of 14 October 1988 laying down the arrangements to be applied by Spain and Portugal to trade with Morocco (2); whereas the Community tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for 1991;
Whereas equal and continous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted;
Whereas the prepared and preserved sardines sector is encountering, in certain regions of the Community, economic constraints of a particular nature, bearing in mind notably the importance which sardine production may have in the fisheries production structure as a whole, thus justifying the fact that the traditional commercial outlets for producers on external markets and, as a matter of priority, on the Community market, should not be adversely affected;
whereas these specific economic circumstances make it necessary to maintain the allocation between the Member States of the quota concerned for the period af application of this Regulation;
Whereas, bearing in mind the way in which trade has developed traditionally, the allocation maintained among Member States should, in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real trend of the market for the products in question, be carried out on a pro rata basis according to the needs of the Member States, calculated on the basis of statistics of imports of the said products from Morocco during a representative reference period and on the economic outlook for the quota periods in question;
Whereas in the last three years the products in question were imported regularly only by certain Member States and not at all or only occasionally by the other Member States; whereas, in these circumstances, in the first phase, initial shares should be allocated to the genuine importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the tariff quota when imports actually take place; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform collection of the duties applicable;
Whereas, to allow for the trend of imports of the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota volume should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to afford importers in each Member State some degree of certainty, an appropriate level for the first part of the Community quota would, in the present circumstances, be 40 % of the quota volume, the second part, 60 % constituting the reserve to which shall also be returned any amounts remaining from the shares allocated when the quota volume was divided up for the first and second quarters of the current year;
Whereas the initial shares may be used up at different rates in each of the periods concerned; whereas, to provide for this eventuality and to avoid any break in the continuity of supplies, any Member State which has entirely used up its initial share should draw additional shares in quantities corresponding to the period in question; whereas each Member State should effect its drawing whenever each of its additional shares is almost used up, and as many times as the reserve for that period allows; whereas this form of administration requires close cooperation between Member States and the Commission and the latter must be able to
monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, during one of the periods concerned, the Community reserve is almost completely used up, it is essential that Member States return to the reserve the whole of the unused part of their initial shares and any drawings for that period, in order to prevent part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the
quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 January to 31 December 1991 the customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of the following products, originating in Morocco, shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown below:
>TABLE>
Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of
Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs
duties calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts.
2. The first part of the quota, 7 000 tonnes, shall be allocated among certain Member States; the quota shares corresponding to the first quarter, the second quarter and the second half of the year respectively shall be as follows:>TABLE>
3. The second part of the quota, 10 500 tonnes, divided into 3 675, 2 625 and 4 200 tonnes corresponding to the
first quarter, the second quarter and the second half-year respectively, shall constitute the Community reserve.
4. If the products concerned are presented in the other Member States along with a declaration of entry into free circulation accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw a corresponding amount pursuant to Article 3.
5. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4, the Member States referred to in paragraph 2 shall return immediately to the reserve any quantity of the quota shares allocated to them when the quota volumes relating to the first and second quarters were divided up which, on 31 March and 30 June 1991 are unused.
If a Member State has used its entire initial share as specified in Article 2 (2), or that share less any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 2 (5) or Article 4, the following provisions shall apply.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration
of entry into circulation for a product covered by this Regulation and if this is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3).
Requests for drawings, with an indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawing shall be granted by the Commission, by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the reserve, allocation shall be made on a basis proportionate to the requests. Member States shall be so informed by the Commission.
Once at least 80 % of each portion of the reserve, as defined in Article 2 (3), has been used up, the Commission shall inform the Member States thereof.
It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the Community reserve must be made according to the provisions laid down in the second and fifth paragraphs of Article 3, if these provisions are not already in effect.
Within a time limit fixed by the Commission as from the date referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the reserve all their initial shares which have not been used on that date.
The Commission shall keep account of the shares opened to Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the portions of the reserve have been used up as soon as it has been notified.
It shall inform the Member States of the amount of each portion of the reserve following any return of quota shares pursuant to Article 4.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts each portion of the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the final drawing.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.

of 11 December 1987
on the multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1987 to 1991) forwarded by Greece pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(88/148/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 April 1987, the Greek Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme fulfills the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources was introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 (2);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 is aimed at facilitating the structural development of the fisheries sector within the framework of the guidelines of the common fisheries policy; whereas such structural development may be encouraged by appropriate measures supported with Community financial aid;
Whereas such measures should help to create a fishing fleet that is adapted to likely medium-term catch opportunities in both Community and non-Community waters; whereas these measures should, in particular, be based on an attempt to ensure balanced exploitation of internal resources in Community waters;
Whereas the measures implemented under the Community rules adopted for the decade from 1987 to 1997 are a continuation of the efforts made since 1983 to improve the structural situation up to 31 December 1986 through common measures to restructure, modernize and develop the fisheries sector; whereas, therefore, the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 85/283/EEC (3) constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the objectives of the guidance programme for 1986 have not been fully achieved; whereas the current or likely situation as regards availabilities in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned do not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1987 to 1991;
Whereas these forecasts could be reviewed were there to be any significant change in availabilities, backed up by scientific evidence, and in the light of the development of international fishery relations between the Community and coastal third States;
Whereas, in addition, the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fishing capacities and availabilities;
Whereas the desired structural adjustments should be implemented on a gradual and continuing basis to reduce the economic and social impact they may have to a minimum;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the Greek Government on 30 April 1987 and as later supplemented by that Government, is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
Each year, at the latest by 15 February and 31 July, Greece shall forward to the Commission, in respect of each category of vessels defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 31 December or 30 June.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
The Commission shall, on the basis of its assessment of the information provided on a regular basis as specified in Article 2 or, where this information is repeatedly not supplied, notify the Member State, at the end of two consecutive six-month periods, that it has been found that the conditions to which approval of the programme was made subject have not been fulfilled.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas the period of temporary authorization for the polysorbates must be prolonged so that these substances may be re-evaluated in the light of any new information not previously assessed;
Whereas the use of Tragacanth gum (E 413) should be re-evaluated after an enquiry by the Commission;
Whereas, for Karaya gum and thermally oxidized soya bean oil interacted with mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids, a further period of temporary authorization must be provided to permit the completion of certain toxicological and technological investigations so that a decision can be taken on the possibility of inclusion of these substances in Annex I to Directive 74/329/EEC or their deletion from the said Directive;

2. Where a Member State exercises the option under paragraph 1 other than by merely retaining the legislation in force at the time of notification of this Directive, it shall forthwith inform the other Member States and the Commission of the measures taken and shall furnish evidence which in its view justifies such measures.
