Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs (1), as amended by Decision 97/34/EC (2), and in particular Article 2(2) and Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision 97/296/EC (3), as amended by Decision 98/148/EC (4), lists the third countries from which importation of fishery products for human consumption is authorised; part I of the list names the third countries covered by a specific decision and part II names those qualifying under Article 2(2) of Decision 95/408/EC;
Whereas Commission Decisions 98/420/EC (5), 98/421/EC (6), 98/422/EC (7), 98/423/EC (8), 98/424/EC (9), set specific import conditions for fishery and aquaculture products originating, respectively, in Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Falkland Islands and Maldives; whereas Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Falkland Islands and Maldives should therefore be added to part I of the list in Annex I of countries and territories from which importation of fishery products for human consumption is authorised;
Whereas Cape Verde, Latvia, Lithuania, Nicaragua, Benin, Kazakhstan, Guinea Conakri, Papua New Guinea, Malta, Mauritius, Jamaica, Cameroon, Czech Republic, Israel, Hong Kong and Uganda have shown that they satisfy the equivalent conditions referred to in Article 2(2) of Decision 95/408/EC; whereas it is therefore necessary to modify the list to include those countries in part II of the list in Annex I;
Whereas certain countries and territories not yet included in the list, but currently exporting to the EC, have provided information that they fulfil conditions at least equivalent to those of the Community; whereas since more information is required from them, these countries and territories are listed in a new Annex II;
Whereas, in order to avoid any disruption of imports from the third countries included in the new Annex II, Article 11(7) of Council Directive 91/493/EC (10) shall continue to apply, for a transitional period to fishery products imported from countries and territories included in Annex II;
Whereas, for those countries and territories not yet included in the Annexes to this Decision, it will be necessary for the Commission to evaluate whether they applied to the export of fishery products to the Community conditions at least equivalent to those governing the production and placing on the market of Community products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 97/296/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Articles 1 and 2, the reference to 'Annex` shall be replaced by 'Annex I`.
2. Point 1 of Article 3 shall be replaced by the following point:
'1. Notwithstanding Article 2, Member States may continue to import, up to 31 January 1999, fishery products coming from the countries and territories included in Annex II, in accordance with Article 11(7) of Directive 91/493/EEC.`
3. The Annex to Decision 97/296/EC is replaced by Annexes I and II to the present Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 July 1998.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1063/84
of 16 April 1984
on the granting of a premium for the slaughter of certain adult bovine animals in the United Kingdom during the 1984/85 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the United Kingdom has for the past marketing years applied the slaughtering premium system in respect of certain adult bovine animals; whereas the United Kingdom should be authorized to continue granting this premium in the 1984/85 marketing year;
Whereas, in order to prevent the variable slaughter premium granted in the United Kingdom alone from having the effect of an export subsidy and disturbing the markets and the conditions of competition in the other Member States, provision must be made for the levying of an amount equal to that premium when animals or meat or meat preparations from such animals on which it has been given are consigned to other Member States or to non-member countries;
Whereas such a premium constitutes intervention on the internal market within the meaning of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (3); whereas, however, participation by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund in the financing of this premium should be limited,
1. The United Kingdom is authorized to grant during the 1984/85 marketing year a premium to producers for the slaughter of certain adult bovine animals, other than cows, of Community origin.
2. The amount of the premium, which may be seasonally varied, may not exceed 65 ECU per adult bovine animal of an average weight to be determined.
It shall be calculated in such a way that when a premium is granted the sum of the market price recorded in the United Kingdom for adult bovine animals other than cows and the amount of the premium actually granted does not exceed, on average and for the duration of the 1984/85 marketing year, 85 % of the guide price. It may not at any point exceed 88 % of that price.
The intervention purchase price for meat obtained from animals for which a premium has been granted shall be reduced by the amount of the premium actually granted.
Where the premium referred to in Article 1 has been paid, an amount equivalent to the amount of that premium shall be levied on live animals or on meat and meat preparations from such animals on which it has been paid, when they are consigned to other Member States or to non-member countries.
By way of derogation from Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 financing by the EAGGF Guarantee Section shall be limited to 40 % of the premium amounts actually granted.
1. Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (1), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession.
2. The detailed rules referred to in paragraph 1 may include inter alia:
(a) a definition of the categories and qualities of animals for which a premium may be granted;
(b) the conditions under which premiums may be granted when adult bovine animals for slaughter other than cows are first put on the market;
(c) measures necessary to prevent, for live animals and meat and meat preparations, disturbance of trade resulting from the application of this premium arrangement;
(d) rules on the calculation and the conditions for levying the amount referred to in Article 3.
Before the end of the 1984/85 marketing year the Commission shall forward to the Council a report on application in the United Kingdom of the slaughter premium for certain adult bovine animals other than cows.
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 2 April 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
(2) On 4 February 2009, the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to amend the list of natural and legal persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply, adding one natural person to the list given the information related to their association with Al-Qaida.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2005/879/EC (2) authorises two methods (Zwei-Punkt — DM5 and Hennessy Grading Probe) for grading pig carcases in Slovenia.
(2) In view of technical developments, Slovenia has asked the Commission to authorise an update of the formulae and has presented the results of its dissection trials in the second part of the protocol provided for in Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3).
(3) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled.

31973L0023 | Council Directive 73/23/EEC of 19 February 1973 on the harmonization of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 19 February 1973 on the harmonization of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (73/23/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereas the provisions in force in the Member States designed to ensure safety in the use of electrical equipment used within certain voltage limits may differ, thus impeding trade;
Whereas in certain Member States in respect of certain electrical equipment, the safety legislation takes the form of preventive and repressive measures by means of binding provisions;
Whereas in other Member States in order to achieve the same objective, the safety legislation provides for reference to technical standards laid down by Standards Bodies ; whereas such a system offers the advantage of rapid adjustment to technical progress without neglecting safety requirements;
Whereas certain Member States carry out administrative operations to approve standards ; whereas such approval neither affects the technical content of the standards in any way nor limits their conditions of use ; whereas such approval cannot therefore alter the effects, from a Community point of view, of harmonized and published standards;
Whereas within the Community the free movement of electrical equipment should follow when this equipment complies with certain safety requirements recognized in all Member States ; whereas without prejudice to any other form of proof, the proof of compliance with these requirements may be established by reference to harmonized standards which incorporate these conditions ; whereas these harmonized standards should be established by common agreement by bodies to be notified by each Member State to the other Member States and to the Commission and should be publicized as widely as possible ; whereas such harmonization should for the purposes of trade eliminate the inconveniences, resulting from differences between national standards;
Whereas, without prejudice to any other form of proof, the compliance of electrical equipment with the harmonized standards may be presumed from the affixing or issue of marks or certificates by the competent organizations or, in the absence thereof, from a manufacturer's declaration of compliance ; whereas in order to facilitate the removal of barriers to trade the Member States should recognize such marks or certificates or such declaration as elements of proof ; whereas, with this end in view, the said marks or certificates should be publicized in particular by their publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities;
Whereas as a transitional measure, the free movement of electrical equipment for which harmonized standards do not yet exist may be achieved by applying the safety provisions or standards already laid down by other international bodies or by one of the bodies which establish harmonized standards;
Whereas it is possible that electrical equipment may be placed in free circulation even though it does not comply with the safety requirements, and whereas it is therefore desirable to lay down suitable provisions to minimize this danger;
For the purposes of this Directive "electrical equipment" means any equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1 000 v for alternating current and between 75 and 1 500 v for direct current, other than the equipment and phenomena listed in Annex II.
1. The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that electrical equipment may be placed on the market only if, having been constructed in accordance with good engineering practice in safety matters in force in the Community, it does not endanger the safety of persons, domestic animals or property when properly installed and maintained and used in applications for which it was made.
2. The principal elements of the safety objectives referred to in paragraph 1 are listed in Annex I.
The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that if electrical equipment is of such a nature as to comply with the provisions of Article 2, subject to the conditions laid down in Articles 5, 6, 7 and 8, the free movement thereof within the Community shall not be impeded for reasons of safety.
In relation to electrical equipment the Member States shall ensure that stricter safety requirements than those laid down in Article 2 are not imposed by electricity supply bodies for connection to the grid, or for the supply of electricity to users of electrical equipment.
The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that, in particular, electrical equipment which complies with the safety provisions of harmonized standards shall be regarded by their competent administrative authorities as complying with the provisions of Article 2, for the purposes of placing on the market and free movement as referred to in Articles 2 and 3 respectively.
Standards shall be regarded as harmonized once they are drawn up by common agreement between the bodies notified by the Member States in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11, and published under national procedures. The standards shall be kept up to date in the light of technological progress and the developments in good engineering practice in safety matters.
For purposes of information the list of harmonized standards and their references shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
1. Where harmonized standards as defined in Article 5 have not yet been drawn up and published, the Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that, for the purposes of placing on the market or free movement as referred to in Articles 2 and 3 respectively, their competent administrative authorities shall also regard, as complying with the provisions of Article 2, electrical equipment which complies with the safety provisions of the International Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment (CEE) or of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in respect of which the publication procedure laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3 has been applied.
2. The safety provisions referred to in paragraph 1 shall be notified to the Member States by the Commission as from the entry into force of this Directive, and thereafter as and when they are published. The Commission, after consulting the Member States, shall state the provisions and in particular the variants which it recommends to be published.
3. The Member States shall inform the Commission within a period of three months of such objections as they may have to the provisions thus notified, stating the safety grounds on account of which the provisions should not be recognized.
For purposes of information those safety provisions against which no objection has been raised shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Where harmonized standards within the meaning of Article 5 or safety provisions published in accordance with Article 6 are not yet in existence, the Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that, for the purpose of placing on the market or free movement as referred to in Articles 2 and 3 respectively, their competent administrative authorities shall also regard as complying with the provisions of Article 2, electrical equipment manufactured in accordance with the safety provisions of the standards in force in the Member State of manufacture, if it ensures a safety level equivalent to that required in their own territory.
1. The Member States shall take all appropriate steps to ensure that their competent administrative authorities shall also allow the placing on the market or free movement, as referred to in Articles 2 and 3 respectively, of electrical equipment which, although not conforming with the harmonized standards referred to in Article 5 or the provisions of Articles 6 and 7, complies with the provisions of Article 2.
2. In the event of a challenge the manufacturer or importer may submit a report, drawn up by a body, which is notified in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 11, on the conformity of the electrical equipment with the provisions of Article 2.
1. If, for safety reasons, a Member State prohibits the placing on the market of any electrical equipment or impedes its free movement, it shall immediately inform the other Member States concerned and the Commission, indicating the grounds for its decision and stating in particular: - whether its non-conformity with Article 2 is attributable to a shortcoming in the harmonized standards referred to in Article 5, the provisions referred to in Article 6 or the standards referred to in Article 7;
- whether its non-conformity is attributable to faulty application of such standards or publications or to failure to comply with good engineering practice as referred to in Article 2.
2. If other Member States raise objections to the decision referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall immediately consult the Member States concerned.
3. If an agreement has not been reached within three months from the date of notification as laid down in paragraph 1, the Commission shall obtain the opinion of one the bodies notified in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11 having its registered office outside the territory of the Member States concerned and which has not been involved in the procedure provided for in Article 8. The opinion shall state the extent to which the provisions of Article 2 have not been complied with.
4. The Commission shall communicate the opinion of this body to all the Member States which may, within a period of one month, make their observations known to the Commission. The Commission shall at the same time note any observations by the parties concerned on the abovementioned opinion.
5. Having taken note of these observations the Commission shall, if necessary, formulate the appropriate recommendations or opinions.
0
1. Without prejudice to other methods of proof, the Member States shall take all appropriate steps to ensure that their competent administrative authorities shall accept that there is a presumption of conformity with the provisions of Articles 5, 6 and 7 where a mark has been placed on the electrical equipment denoting conformity, or where a certificate of conformity is produced or, in the absence thereof, and in particular in the case of industrial equipment, the manufacturer's declaration of conformity.
2. The marks or certificates shall be established, separately or by common agreement, by the bodies notified in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11. Specimens of these marks or certificates shall be published by these bodies and, for information purposes in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
1
Each Member State shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of the following: - the bodies referred to in Article 5;
- the bodies which may establish the marks and certificates in accordance with the provisions of Article 10;
- the bodies which may make a report in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 or give an opinion in accordance with the provisions of Article 9;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 of 29 June 1995 regulating compensation for reductions in the agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2990/95 of 18 December 1995 regulating compensation for appreciable reductions in the agricultural conversion rates before 1 July 1996 (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1451/96 (3), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas Regulations (EC) No 1527/95 and (EC) No 2990/95 establish the principle of an agrimonetary compensatory payment the maximum amount of the first tranche of which is determined as a function of the size of the appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rates in question; whereas the amounts of the second and third tranches of the payments must be reduced relative to the first tranche by at least one-third of the amount granted during the first tranche; whereas the appreciable reductions which affected the Belgian/Luxembourg franc, the German mark, the Dutch guilder and the Austrian schilling in 1995 were 2,193 %, 2,229 %, 2,572 % and 2,264 % respectively; whereas the appreciable reduction which affected the Swedish krona on 7 July 1996 was 3,280 %;
Whereas Article 6 (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2921/95 of 18 December 1995 laying down detailed rules for compensation for reductions in certain agricultural conversion rates (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1481/96 (5), provides for the maximum amounts of the second and third tranches of the payments to be adjusted on the basis of the impact on incomes of the increase in the agricultural conversion rates occurring before the start of those tranches; whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 and to Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 2990/95, the tranches are determined for periods of 12 months, starting with the month following the relevant reduction in the agricultural conversion rate;
Whereas there have been several increases in the relevant agricultural conversion rates between the dates of their appreciable reductions and, on the one hand, the start of the second tranche of payments for Sweden, and on the other, the start of the third tranche of payments for the other Member States;
Whereas the agrimonetary compensatory payments referred to in Regulations (EC) No 1527/95 and (EC) No 2990/95 are calculated as lump sums; whereas, as a result of the level reached by the agricultural conversion rates, the second tranche for Sweden and the third tranche for Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria should be cancelled; whereas those adjustments in payments must be applicable from the start of the tranches in question;
Whereas the relevant Management Committees have not delivered opinions within the time limits laid down by their chairmen,
1. The third tranche of compensatory payments provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 for Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria is hereby cancelled.
2. The second tranche of compensatory payments for Sweden provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2990/95 as a result of the appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rate which occurred on 7 July 1996 is hereby cancelled. Grant of the third tranche will be examined taking account of the effects of monetary trends up to 1 July 1998.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/895/EEC of 23 November 1976 relating to the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Directive 97/41/EC(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/71/EC(4), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin(5), as last amended by Directive 1999/71/EC, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables(6), as last amended by Directive 1999/71/EC, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For cereals and products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables, maximum residue levels reflect the use of minimum quantities of pesticides to achieve effective protection of plants, applied in such a manner that the amount of residue is the smallest practicable and is toxicologically acceptable, in particular in view of the protection of the environment and in terms of estimated dietary intake. For foodstuffs of animal origin, maximum residue levels reflect the consumption of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides resulting in residues in animals and animal products, as well as taking into account the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines where appropriate.
(2) Maximum residue levels are fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported with such necessary data.
(3) Maximum residue levels for pesticides should be kept under review. The levels may be changed to take account of new information and data.
(4) Aramite, barban, chlorobenzilate, chlorfenson, chloroxuron, chlorbenside, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (4-ethyl-phenyl-) ethane and diallate are either no longer authorised for use in the Community or are no longer used at Community level. The aramite and chlorfenson residues were deleted from Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC by Council Directive 82/528/EEC(7) but have not since that time been added to the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC. The chlorbenside and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (4-ethyl-phenyl-) ethane residues were deleted from Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC by Council Directive 93/58/EEC(8) but have not since that time been added to the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC. It is necessary to add all of these residues to the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC to allow for proper surveillance and control of their uses and to protect the consumer.
(5) Limited authorisations still exist in the Community for chlorbufam and methoxychlor. The authorised uses would not be expected to give rise to detectable residues in food. Maximum residue levels have been fixed in Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC for these residues.
(6) To establish maximum levels of pesticide residues for barban, chlorbufam, chlorobenzilate, chloroxuron, diallate and methoxychlor at Community level it is necessary to transfer provisions from Directive 76/895/EEC to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC. Certain of these provisions should be amended in the light of technical and scientific progress as well as changes in uses and authorisations at national and Community level.
(7) Community maximum residue levels and levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. With the exception of chlorobenzilate, no Codex maximum residue limits were set for the active substances covered by this Directive. The Codex maximum residue limits for chlorobenzilate have been withdrawn(9). Authorisations of plant protection products in third countries may require the use of greater quantities of pesticides or shorter pre-harvest intervals than are authorised in the Community and consequently may require higher residue levels. The Community's trading partners have been consulted about the levels set out in this Directive through the World Trade Organisation and their comments on these levels have been considered and discussed by the Standing Committee on Plant Health. The possibility of fixing import tolerance maximum residue levels for specific pesticide/crop combinations will be examined by the European Community on the basis of the submission of acceptable data.
(8) The maximum residue levels established in this Directive may have to be reviewed in the framework of the re-evaluation of active substances provided for in the programme of work established in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(10), as last amended by Commission Directive 1999/80/EC(11).
(9) The maximum residue level for cartap in tea was set at 20 mg/kg in Community legislation on the basis of the information contained in the Codex Alimentarius. The 29th meeting of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues recommended that all MRLs for the active substance be withdrawn(12).
(10) A lack of clarity in the description of CN codes in Annexes I and II to Directive 86/363/EEC has led to problems in classifying samples for the purposes of the notification procedure under Article 7 of Directive 86/363/EEC.
(11) DDT is not authorised for use as a plant protection product in the Community. A maximum residue level for DDT in birds' eggs and egg yolks of 0,1 mg/kg was set in Community legislation by Council Directive 93/57/EEC(13) to allow for the possibility that residual environmental contamination may give rise to DDT residues in eggs. Monitoring data for DDT in eggs in Community Member States and in Norway indicate that this maximum level may be reduced.
(12) This Directive is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The entries relating to chlorobenzilate, chloroxuron and methoxychlor shall be deleted.
2. The grouping "barban, chlorpropham, chlorbufam" shall be replaced by "chlorpropham".

| COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 96/3/EC of 26 January 1996 granting a derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs as regards the transport of bulk liquid oils and fats by sea (Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Whereas information shows that the application of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Chapter IV of the Annex to Directive 93/43/EEC relating to the transport of bulk foodstuffs in liquid, granulate or powdered form in receptacles and/or containers/tankers reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, is not practical and imposes an unduly onerous burden on food business when applied to the transport in sea-going vessels of liquid oils and fats intended for, or likely to be used for, human consumption;
Whereas, however, it is necessary to ensure that the granting of a derogation provides equivalent protection to public health, by attaching conditions to the terms of such derogation;
Whereas the availability of sea-going vessels reserved for the transport of foodstuffs is insufficient to serve the continuing trade in oils and fats intended for or likely to be used for human consumption;
Whereas experience acquired during the past years has shown that contamination of liquid oils and fats can be avoided where tanks used for their transport are made of readily cleansible materials or where the three previous cargoes are of such a nature that they do not leave unacceptable contamination; whereas on the other hand it should be established that tanks that have been used previously for transportation have been effectively cleaned;
Whereas it is incumbent on Member States by virtue of Article 8 of Directive 93/43/EEC to carry out controls to ensure the application of this Directive;
Whereas this specific derogation should be without prejudice to the general provisions of Directive 93/43/EEC;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 (2) of Directive 93/43/EEC, this derogation should not concern foods to which more specific Community hygiene rules apply;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in compliance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs,
This Directive derogates from the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Chapter IV of the Annex to Directive 93/43/EEC and lays down equivalent conditions to ensure the protection of public health and the safety and wholesomeness of the foodstuffs concerned.
1. The bulk transport in sea-going vessels of liquid oils or fats which are to be processed, and which are intended for or likely to be used for human consumption, is permitted in tanks that are not exclusively reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, subject to the following conditions:
(a) that, where the oil or fat is transported in a stainless steel tank, or tank lined with epoxy resin or technical equivalent, the immediately previous cargo transported in the tank shall have been a foodstuff, or a cargo from the list of acceptable previous cargoes set out in the Annex;
(b) that, where the oil or fat is transported in a tank of materials other than those in point (a), the three previous cargoes transported in the tanks shall have been foodstuffs, or from the list of acceptable previous cargoes set out in the Annex.
2. The bulk transport in sea-going vessels of liquid oils or fats which are not to be further processed, and which are intended for or likely to be used for human consumption, is permitted in tanks that are not exclusively reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, subject to the following conditions:
(a) that the tank shall be of stainless steel or lined with epoxy resin or technical equivalent;
(b) that the three previous cargoes transported in the tank shall have been foodstuffs.
1.

Whereas this programme appears on the priority list of programmes for the eradication and surveillance of animal diseases which can benefit from financial participation from the Community in 1998 and which was established by Commission Decision 97/681/EC (5);
Whereas in the light of the importance of the programme for the achievement of Community objectives, it is appropriate to fix the financial participation of the Community at 50 % of the costs incurred by Belgium up to a maximum of ECU 50 000;
Whereas a financial contribution from the Community shall be granted in so far as the actions provided for are carried out and provided that the authorities furnish all the necessary information within the time limit provided for;

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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund shall be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) In view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 2005, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2005 was five years.
(3) The coefficients for the period 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007 should therefore be set accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area precludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded with certain third countries agreements abolishing export refunds. According to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, this should be taken into account in the calculation of the coefficients for the period 2006/2007,
For the period 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2006.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 12 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, to the extent necessary to enable the products referred to in Article 1 (1) (a) of the said Regulation to be exported in economically significant quantities on the basis of prices for those products on the world market, the difference between those prices and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund; whereas Article 12 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides that in cases where the refund for sugars incorporated in the products listed in Article 1 (1) (b) of the Regulation is not sufficient to permit export of the products, the refund fixed pursuant to Article 12 (1) shall apply for such exports;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 519/77 of 14 March 1977 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), account should be taken, when refunds are being fixed, of the existing situation and future trends with regard to, on the one hand, prices and availabilities on the Community market of products processed from fruit and vegetables and, on the other hand, prices ruling in international trade; whereas account should also be taken of the costs referred to in subparagraph (b) of the said Article and of the economic aspect of the proposed exports;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 519/77, account should be taken, when prices on the Community market are being determined, of the ruling prices which are most favourable from the point of view of exportation; whereas, when prices in international trade are being determined, account should be taken of the prices referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article;
Whereas the export refunds for these products were last fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2000/90 (4);
Whereas when the application of the rules referred to above results in an amount of refund which for products listed in Article 1 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 is supposed to be lower than the refund for the added sugars pursuant to Article 11 of the same Regulation, no refund should be fixed; whereas, in such cases, the refunds for added sugars should apply;
Whereas, as a result of the introduction of the Combined Nomenclature by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2943/90 (6), the nomenclature applicable from 1 January 1988 to export refunds for agricultural products is established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2659/90 (8); whereas it is necessary to amend the nomenclature in order to adapt the refunds to market necessities;
Whereas the nonfixing of refunds for peeled tomatoes to be exported to the USA entails the application of the provisions of Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 of 27 November 1987 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1615/90 (10);
Whereas application of the abovementioned rules and criteria to the current market situation, and in particular to the prices of products processed from fruit and vegetables on the Community market and in international trade entails fixing an appropriate refund;
Whereas the Management Committee for Products Proces from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The export refunds referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 shall be as set out in Annex I hereto.
2. The information relating to CN code 2002 10 listed in Annex II hereto shall be inserted in sector 12, 'Products processed from fruit and vegetables', to the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87.
3. The non-fixing of a refund rate for peeled tomatoes, as defined in Annex I, to be exported to the United States of America shall be taken into consideration for the application of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87.
4. Where no refund is fixed for a product listed in Annex I, that product may, where applicable, benefit from any export refund applicable to added sugars pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86.
Regulation (EEC) No 2000/90 is hereby repealed.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2007.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2007.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 (2) provides for the application of an agricultural component in the charge, which may take the form either of a variable component or of a fixed component established in line with the conditions laid down in Article 5;
Whereas during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations the Community committed itself to replacing all agricultural levies and variable components with fixed amounts as from 1 July 1995; whereas, from that date, these fixed amounts constitute the specific amounts which are part of the customs duty applicable to imports of the goods listed in Table 1 of Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3448/93;
Whereas it is necessary to specify as a transitional measure and pending an amendment of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93, that the amount applicable to imports of each of these goods is the duty laid down in the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas this amount must serve as the basis for reductions, in accordance with preferential agreements, of the agricultural component of the charge for certain goods originating in non-member countries, where no specific rule is laid down by or in application of those agreements;

1. For the application of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93, the agricultural component of the charge shall take the form of a specific amount as laid down in the Common Customs Tariff of the Community.

2. Where a preferential agreement provides for a reduction of the agricultural component in the charge, calculated by reducing the basic amounts determined in accordance with Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93, these basic amounts shall be replaced by the specific amounts laid down in the Common Customs Tariff for imports of those basic products.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2003/17/EC of 16 December 2002 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries (3) provides that, for a limited period, field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species are to be considered to be equivalent to field inspections carried out in accordance with Union legal acts, and that seed of certain species produced in third countries is to be considered to be equivalent to seed produced in accordance with Union legal acts.
(2) It appears that field inspections carried out in third countries continue to afford the same guarantees as field inspections carried out by Member States. They should therefore continue to be considered to be equivalent.
(3) As Decision 2003/17/EC will expire on 31 December 2012, the period for which equivalence is recognised under that Decision should be extended. It appears desirable to extend that period by 10 years.
(4) The reference to Yugoslavia in Decision 2003/17/EC should be deleted. Serbia, as a member of the OECD Schemes for the Varietal Certification of Seed Moving in International Trade and as a member of the International Seed Testing Association as regards the seed sampling and testing, should be added to the list of third countries in Annex I to Decision 2003/17/EC. In addition, the names of some authorities responsible for the approval and control of the production, as listed in Annex I to Decision 2003/17/EC, have changed.
(5) The provisions of Decision 2003/17/EC which refer to Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4) should be deleted as, in the context of this Decision, their application would be incompatible with the system on delegated and implementing powers introduced by Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty.
(6) Decision 2003/17/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Decision 2003/17/EC is hereby amended as follows:

(3) In order to check that the alcohol is to be used for the production of bio-ethanol, Member States approve firms which they deem eligible on the basis of their capacity, the plants where the alcohol is processed, their annual processing capacity, and the certificates from the national authorities of the Member State of the final purchaser attesting that the final purchaser uses the alcohol only to produce bio-ethanol and that the bio-ethanol is used only in the fuel sector.
(4) Sales by tender should be held each quarter, first in order to ensure that the alcohol stored by Member States’ intervention agencies is disposed of, and second in order to provide some guarantee of supply for firms established in the European Community which use alcohol in the fuel sector.
(5) The Member States should send information at the end of each month on the quantities of wine, wine lees and fortified wine which have been distilled in the previous month, as well as the quantities of alcohol, broken down into neutral alcohol, raw alcohol and spirits.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Articles 92 to 94 are replaced by:

(a) the special rules applicable to the tendering procedure and the names and addresses of the intervention agencies concerned;
(b) the quantity of alcohol, expressed in hectolitres of alcohol at 100 % vol, covered by the tendering procedure;
(c) the lots;
(d) the payment terms;
(e) the formalities for obtaining samples;
(f) the amount of the tendering security referred to in Article 94(4) and of the performance guarantee referred to in Article 94c(3).
(a) the prices offered;
(b) the lots requested;
(c) the final destination of the alcohol.
2. the first subparagraph of Article 97(1) is replaced by the following:
3. in Article 98, paragraphs 1 and 2 are replaced by the following:
4. Article 100(2)(c) is replaced by the following:
‘(c) In the case of alcohol awarded for a new industrial use and alcohol awarded under tendering procedures for use as bio-ethanol in the fuel sector in the Community which must be rectified prior to the final use intended, the alcohol removed shall be deemed to have been used entirely for the purpose specified where at least 90 % of the total quantities of alcohol removed under an invitation to tender is used for that purpose.
5. Article 103(2) is replaced by the following:
(a) the quantities of wine, wine lees and fortified wine which have been distilled in the previous month,
(b) the quantities of alcohol, broken down into neutral alcohol, raw alcohol and spirits:
— produced during the previous month,
— taken over by the intervention agencies during the previous month,
— disposed of by the intervention agencies during the previous month and the percentage of those quantities exported and the selling prices charged,
— held by the intervention agencies at the end of the previous month.’

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,

Whereas:
(1) The European Community is committed to providing financial assistance to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, including in support of the implementation of the Framework Agreement of 13 August 2001.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 7 January 1982, Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer III', ordered on 2 May 1980 and to be used for the construction and development of electrical sub-systems for fusion-oriented experimental installations and in particular for the measurement and recording of current and voltage changes, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 14 May 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an oscilloscope; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer III', which is the subject of an application by Germany of 7 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 22 and Article 61(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2006/88/EC lays down the animal health requirements to be applied for the placing on the market and the import and the transit through the Union of aquaculture animals and products thereof.
(2) Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 (2) establishes a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments, from which it is permitted to introduce aquaculture animals.
(3) In addition, the model animal health certificates set out in Parts A and B of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 contain animal health attestations with regard to the requirements for species susceptible to certain diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC.
(4) Certain provinces of Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut) are currently listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008. Imports of fish species susceptible to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia, as set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, from those provinces into the Union are therefore permitted.
(5) Canada has requested that the province of Quebec should be added to the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008. According to the conclusions of an audit carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office in Canada in June 2012 concerning aquatic animal health, the competent authority of that third country can provide appropriate guarantees in relation to surveillance and monitoring of fish diseases, and a reliable certification system is in place for exports of fish and products thereof to the Union. In addition, the competent authority of Canada has submitted to the Commission detailed information with regard to a risk-based surveillance programme concerning viral haemorrhagic septicaemia carried out between 2007 and 2012 on wild fish originating from higher risk watersheds in the province of Quebec. From an analysis of the design and implementation of the surveillance programme it can be concluded that it is highly unlikely that the viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus circulated in susceptible wild fish populations in Quebec during those years. That provides further assurances in respect of the health status of fish species susceptible to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia, or products thereof, that may be exported to the Union from Quebec.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to permit imports of fish species susceptible to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia, as set out in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, intended for farming, relaying areas, put and take fisheries, open and closed ornamental facilities, from Quebec into the Union.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance was defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).
(2) The Government of Latvia has requested the Commission to authorise one method for grading pig carcases and has submitted the results of its dissection trial which was executed before the day of accession, by presenting part two of the protocol provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.
(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled.
(4) In Latvia commercial practice may require that the head, the hind feet and the tail are removed from the pig carcase. This should be taken into account in adjusting the weight for standard presentation.
(5) No modification of the apparatus or the grading method may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The use of the apparatus termed ‘Intrascope (Optical Probe)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in the Annex, is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Latvia.
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, pig carcases may be presented in Latvia without the head, the hind feet and the tail before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be increased by:
— 7,61 % for the missing head
— 1,61 % for the missing hind feet
— 0,11 % for the missing tail.
Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment method shall not be authorised.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the Multi-Annual Financing Agreement between the Commission of the European Communities, acting on behalf of the European Community, and Hungary which was concluded on 15 June 2001, and in particular Article 12, Section A of the Annex thereto,
After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1419/2004 (3) provides for the continuation of the application of the Multiannual Financing Agreements and the Annual Financing Agreement concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Union on the one hand, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia on the other, and for certain derogations from the Multiannual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘MAFAs’) and from Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 (4) and Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 447/2004 (5) lays down rules to facilitate the transition from support under Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 to that provided for by Council Regulations (EC) No 1257/1999 (6) and (EC) No 1260/1999 (7) for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, in conjunction with the MAFAs as referred to in Annex I, point 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1419/2004, and, in Article 12 of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 248/2007 (8) provides for measures concerning the MAFAs and the Annual Financing Agreements concluded under the Sapard programme and the transition from Sapard to rural development, in conjunction with the MAFAs as referred to in Annex III to that Regulation.
(4) Article 12(1) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs, which remains in force after the accession of Hungary to the European Union by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 248/2007, requires the Commission to take a Decision (hereinafter referred to as ‘the conformity clearance Decision’) on the expenditure to be excluded from EU co-financing where it finds that expenditure has not been effected in compliance with this Agreement.
(5) The findings of the annual certification report for the Sapard accounts for the financial year 2004 indicated that the Sapard Agency might have breached certain provisions of the MAFAs. In this respect, the Commission launched an enquiry in accordance with the Article 12 of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs.
(6) In accordance with Article 12(3) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs, the Hungarian authorities were invited to a bilateral discussion on 8 November 2005, at which both parties endeavoured to reach an agreement as to the action to be taken and on an evaluation of the gravity of the infringement.
(7) Following the bilateral discussion, the Commission still considered that certain items of expenditure had not been carried out in conformity with the rules governing the Sapard programme. For some of the payments made in the financial years 2003 and 2004, Hungary breached the 3-month deadline for payments to beneficiaries provided in Article 8(6), Section A of the MAFAs. According to this provision, the interval between receipt of the supporting documents needed to make the payment and issuing of the payment order should not have exceeded 3 months.
(8) By letter of 16 October 2009, the Hungarian authorities initiated a conciliation procedure in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 12(3) of Section A and Item 9 of Section F of the Annex to the MAFAs. The Conciliation Body supported the arguments presented by the Hungarian authorities and considered them as exceptional circumstances to derogate from the deadline for the payments to beneficiaries given by provision of Article 8(6), Section A of the MAFAs.
(9) The Commission could not consider the arguments given by the Hungarian authorities as exceptional circumstances, justifying some derogation from Article 8(6), Section A of the MAFAs, and proposed the amount of EUR 2 535 286 for financial reduction.
(10) In accordance with Article 12(7) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs, the amount to be recovered shall be communicated to the National Authorising Officer who should, on behalf of Hungary, ensure that the amount is credited to the Sapard euro account within 2 months of the date that the Decision is taken. However, due to the fact that the implementation of the Sapard programme is finalised, the recovery of the sum excluded shall be executed in a form of a recovery order,
The amount of EUR 2 535 286 paid by the Hungarian Sapard Agency is hereby excluded from EU financing as the underlying transactions do not comply with the rules governing the Sapard programme.
The calculation of the correction is indicated in the Annex.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Hungary. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of hake in the waters of ICES divisions II a (EC zone), IV (EC Zone) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands have reached the quota allocated for 1991; whereas the Netherlands have prohibited fishing for this stock as from 10 August 1991; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

Whereas Council Decision 86/283/EEC of 30 June 1986 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1), as last amended by Decision 90/146/EEC (2), has applied to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon since 1 July 1986;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 499/87 (3) granted Saint-Pierre and Miquelon a derogation from the rules of origin in respect of certain fisheries products processed for the period 1 December 1986 to 30 November 1989; whereas, given that the local conditions prevailing during that period remain unchanged, the French Government has requested, on behalf of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a further derogation;
Whereas Decision 90/146/EEC lays down that, as from 1 March 1990, the rules of origin applicable in preferential trade between overseas countries and territories and the Community shall temporarily be those of Protocol 1 to the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention, signed at LomĂŠ on 15 December 1989; whereas those rules provide for the use of originating fish, which cannot be obtained at the present stage by the processing industry in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon;
Whereas Article 31 of the said Protocol 1 sets out the conditions for the granting of a derogation; whereas these conditions are satisfied in so far as the geographical situation of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon prevents the utilization of raw materials wholly obtained or processed in other countries and territories, in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States or in the Community, and the application of the rules of origin would prevent an existing industry continuing to export its product to the Community,
Notwithstanding the rules of origin referred to in Decision 90/146/EEC and under the conditions set out in this Regulation, the fisheries products listed in the Annex to this Regulation manufactured in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon from non-originating fish shall be considered as originating in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall relate to the annual quantities and finished products listed in the Annex, exported from Saint-Pierre and Miquelon for the period 1 December 1989 to 30 November 1994.
The competent authorities of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon shall carry out quantitative checks on exports as referred to in Article 2 and shall forward to the Commission every three months a statement of the quantities in respect of which movement certificates EUR. 1 have been issued on the basis of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, it shall cease to apply on 28 February 1991 if a decision replacing Decision 90/146/EEC or equivalent transitional trade provisions have not been implemented by that date.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1799/2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 453/2002(4), laid down provisions on the quality, the sizing, the presentation and the marking of citrus fruit.
(2) The standard for citrus fruit recommended by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has recently been amended and includes the possibility to size fruit by count, new provisions with regards to the uniformity in size and the possibility to pack citrus fruit of different species in the same consumer package.
(3) It is moreover appropriate to clarify several current provisions. Firstly, size 1-X being traditionally marketed under the designation "1", an alternative denomination is needed. Secondly, minimum juice contents applicable to the different varieties of oranges shall be updated. Lastly, it is appropriate to stipulate that the labelling requirement with regards to preserving agents only applies to post-harvest treatments.
(4) It is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1799/2001.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas cucumbers are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas cucumbers harvested during a given crop year are marketed from January to December;
Whereas the quantities harvested during January and the first 10 days of February and during the last 20 days of November and December are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for all the year; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 11 February up to and including 10 November;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas Community-produced cucumbers are grown mainly under glass; whereas the reference prices for the marketing year must therefore be fixed for a product of that type; whereas cucumbers imported from certain third countries during the same period will have been grown in the open; whereas, although such cucumbers may be classed in class I, their quality and price are not comparable with those of products grown under glass; whereas the prices for cucumbers not grown under glass should therefore be adjusted by a conversion factor;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. For the 1990 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: 48,36
- August: 48,73
- September: 57,72
- 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 1990.

Whereas Commission Decision 93/522/EEC (3) defines what measures are eligible for Community financing as regards programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira;
Whereas specific agricultural production conditions in Madeira call for particular attention, and action must be taken or reinforced as regards crop production, in particular the phytosanitary aspects for this region;
Whereas the action to be taken or reinforced on the phytosanitary side is particularly costly;
Whereas the programme of action is to be presented to the Commission by the relevant Portuguese authorities; whereas this programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost so that the Community may contribute to financing them;
Whereas the Community's financial contribution may cover up to 75 % of eligible expenditure, protective measures for bananas excluded;
Whereas the technical information provided by Portugal has enabled the Standing Committee on Plant Health to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The Community's financial contribution to the official programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products on the Island of Madeira presented for 1995 by the relevant Portuguese authorities is hereby approved.
The official programme is made up of three sub-programmes:
1. a sub-programme for the autocidal control of the fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Wied);
2. a sub-programme for the control of the white citrus fly (Aleurothrixus floccosus Maskell);
3. a sub-programme for the control of Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood.
The Community contribution to financing the programme is limited to 75 % maximum of expenditure on eligible measures as defined by Commission Decision 93/522/EEC, and is set for 1995 at ECU 900 000 out of total expenditure of ECU 1 200 000 (VAT excluded).
The schedule of programme costs and their financing is set out as Annex I to this Decision. In the case when the total eligible expenditure for 1995 presented by Portugal would be less than the forecast amount of ECU 1 200 000, the Community's contribution would be reduced in proportion.
The Community reimbursement will be made in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Article and the financial rate of the ecu on 1 June 1995, i.e. ECU 1 = Esc 196,159.
An advance of ECU 180 000 shall be paid to Portugal.
The Community assistance shall relate to the eligible measures associated with the operations covered by the programme set up in Portugal by provisions for which the necessary financial resources have been committed between 1 August and 31 December 1995. The final date for payments in connection with the operations shall be 31 December 1995, and non-compliance without justification of delay shall entail loss of entitlement to Community financing.
Specific provisions relating to the financing of the programme, provisions on compliance with Community policies and the information to be provided to the Commission by Portugal are set out in Annex II.
Public contracts in connection with investments covered by this Decision must be awarded in compliance with Community law, in particular the Directives coordinating procedures for awarding public works and supply contracts, and Articles 30, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(1) The manufacturer Daimler AG (the ‘Applicant’) submitted an application for the approval of efficient exterior lighting with the use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as an innovative technology package on 14 November 2013. The completeness of the application was assessed in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 (2). The Commission identified certain relevant information as missing in the original application and requested the Applicant to complete it. The Applicant provided the required information on 14 May 2014. The application was found to be complete and the period for the Commission's assessment of the application started on the day following the date of official receipt of the complete information, i.e. 15 May 2014.
(2) The application has been assessed in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 and the Technical Guidelines for the preparation of applications for the approval of innovative technologies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 (the Technical Guidelines) (3).
(3) The application refers to efficient exterior lighting with the use of light emitting diodes in the low beam headlamp, the high beam headlamp, the front position, and the licence plate. This technology package is similar to the innovative technologies approved as an eco-innovation in Commission Implementing Decisions 2013/128/EU (4) and 2014/128/EU (5). It should also be noted that the application by Daimler AG is based on the simplified approach described in the Technical Guidelines as the application previously approved by Implementing Decision 2014/128/EU, whereas the application approved by Implementing Decision 2013/128/EU was based on the comprehensive approach.
(4) The Commission finds that the information provided in the application demonstrates that the conditions and criteria referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and in Articles 2 and 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 have been met.
(5) The Applicant has demonstrated that the use of the LEDs in the low beam headlamp, the high beam headlamp, the front position, and the licence plate did not exceed 3 % of the new passenger cars registered in the reference year 2009. In support of this the Applicant has referred to the Technical Guidelines, which provides for the summary of the CLEPA LIGHT Sight Safety report. The Applicant has used predefined functions and averaged data in line with the simplified approach specified in the Technical Guidelines.
(6) The Applicant has in accordance with the simplified approach described in the Technical Guidelines used halogen lighting as baseline technology for demonstrating the CO2 reducing capacity of the efficient exterior lighting with the use of light emitting diodes in the low beam headlamp, the high beam headlamp, the front position, and the licence plate.
(7) The Applicant has provided a methodology for testing the CO2 reductions which includes formulae that are consistent with the formulae described in the Technical Guidelines for the simplified approach with regard to lighting functions. Considering that the Applicant has applied for an innovative technology package of efficient exterior lighting with the use of LEDs, the Commission finds it appropriate to modify the formulae for the calculation of CO2 savings to reflect the total CO2 savings of the lighting package. As a consequence, the methodology specified in the Annex to the decision differs in some essential elements from that approved by Implementing Decision 2014/128/EU. The Commission considers that the testing methodology will provide testing results that are verifiable, repeatable and comparable and that it is capable of demonstrating in a realistic manner the CO2 emissions benefits of the innovative technology with strong statistical significance in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
(8) Against that background the Commission finds that the Applicant has demonstrated satisfactorily that the emission reduction achieved by the innovative technology is at least 1 g CO2/km.
(9) Since the activation of the exterior lighting is not required for the CO2 emissions type approval test referred to in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (7), the Commission is satisfied that the lighting functions in question are not covered by the standard test cycle.
(10) The activation of the lighting functions concerned is mandatory to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle and as a consequence not dependant on the choice of the driver. On that basis the Commission finds that the manufacturer should be considered accountable for the CO2 emission reduction due to the use of the LEDs.
(11) The Commission finds that the verification report has been prepared by TÜV NORD Mobilität GmbH & Co. KG which is an independent and certified body and that the report supports the findings set out in the application.
(12) Against that background, the Commission finds that no objections should be raised as regards the approval of the innovative technology in question.
(13) Any manufacturer wishing to benefit from a reduction of its average specific CO2 emissions for the purpose of meeting its specific emissions target by means of the CO2 savings from the use of the innovative technology approved by this Decision, should in accordance with Article 11(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, refer to this Decision in its application for an EC type-approval certificate for the vehicles concerned.
(14) For the purposes of determining the general eco-innovation code to be used in the relevant type approval documents in accordance with Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), the individual code to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Decision should be specified.
(15) The period for the assessment of the innovative technology referred to in Article 10(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 is due to expire. It is therefore appropriate that the Decision enters into force as soon as possible,
1. The efficient exterior lighting with the use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) intended for use in M1 vehicles is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.
2. The CO2 emissions reduction from the use of the efficient exterior lighting with the use of light emitting diodes (LED) referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined using the methodology set out in the Annex.
3. The individual eco-innovation code to be entered into type approval documentation to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Decision shall be ‘10’.
This Decision shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 18 January 2011
authorising France to apply differentiated levels of taxation to motor fuels in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC
(2011/38/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2005/767/EC (2) authorises France to apply, for a period of 3 years, differentiated levels of taxation to gas oil and unleaded petrol. France had requested the authorisation in the context of an administrative reform involving the decentralisation of certain specific powers previously exercised by central government. Decision 2005/767/EC expired on 31 December 2009.
(2) By letter dated 12 August 2009, France requested authorisation to continue to apply differentiated rates of taxation under the same conditions for a further 6 years after 31 December 2009.
(3) Decision 2005/767/EC was adopted on the basis that the measure requested by France met the requirements set out in Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC. In particular, it was considered that that measure would not hinder the proper functioning of the internal market. It was also considered that it was in conformity with the relevant Community policies.
(4) The national measure is part of a policy designed to increase administrative effectiveness by improving the quality and reducing the cost of public services, as well as a policy of subsidiarity. It offers regions an additional incentive to improve the quality of their administration in a transparent fashion. In this respect, Decision 2005/767/EC requires that the reductions be linked to the socioeconomic circumstances of the regions in which they are applied. Overall, the national measure is based on specific policy considerations.
(5) The tight limits set for the differentiation of rates on a regional basis as well as the exclusion of gas oil used for commercial purposes from the measure imply that the risk of competitive distortions in the internal market is very low. Moreover, the application of the measure so far has shown a strong tendency on behalf of regions to levy the maximum rate allowable, which has further decreased any potential for competitive distortions.
(6) No obstacles to the proper functioning of the internal market have been reported as regards, more particularly, the circulation of the products in question in their capacity as products subject to excise duty.
(7) When originally requested, the national measure had been preceded by a tax increase equal to the margin for regional reductions. Against this background and in light of the conditions of the authorisation as well as experience gathered, the national measure does not, at this stage, appear to be in conflict with Union energy and climate policies.
(8) It follows from Article 19(2) of Directive 2003/96/EC that each authorisation granted under that Article must be strictly limited in time. Due to the possible future developments of the Union framework on energy taxation, this authorisation should be limited to a period of 3 years. It is furthermore appropriate to avoid any time gap with respect to the application of the authorisation,
1. France is hereby authorised to apply reduced rates of taxation to unleaded petrol and gas oil used as fuel. Gas oil for commercial use within the meaning of Article 7(2) of Directive 2003/96/EC shall not be eligible for any such reductions.
2. Administrative regions may be permitted to apply differentiated reductions provided the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) the reductions are no greater than EUR 35,4 per 1 000 litres of unleaded petrol or EUR 23,0 per 1 000 litres of gas oil;
(b) the reductions are no greater than the difference between the levels of taxation of gas oil for non-commercial use and gas oil for commercial use;
(c) the reductions are linked to the objective socio-economic conditions of the regions in which they are applied;
(d) the application of regional reductions does not have the effect of granting a region a competitive advantage in intra-Union trade.
3. The reduced rates must comply with the requirements of Directive 2003/96/EC, and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Article 7.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.
It shall apply from 1 January 2010.
It shall expire on 31 December 2012.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC (2), and in particular Article 4c (1) (c) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC and in particular Article 13a (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;
Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes I and II to Decision 82/838/EEC;
Whereas, by Decision 83/28/EEC (5), the Commission has suspended for a period of 15 days the status of official freedom from swine fever or freedom from swine fever of affected parts of German territory;
Whereas taking account of the epidemiological evolution of the disease, the Commission, by Decision 83/68/EEC (6), temporarily prolonged this period of suspension for certain regions beyond the 15 days provided for initially;
Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the regions listed in the Annex to this Decision.

Having regard to Council Directive 89/109/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Council Directive 82/711/EEC of 18 October 1982 laying down the basic rules necessary for testing migration of the constituents of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (2), as amended by Directive 93/8/EEC (3), does not specify the migration tests to be carried out in cases where the fatty food simulants are inappropriate;
Whereas the application of the test using the fatty food simulants is time consuming and difficult to conduct and therefore alternative tests in some specified conditions should be permitted;
Whereas it is not clear whether Directive 82/711/EEC authorizes the use of plastic materials and articles which are not intended to come into contact with foodstuffs of all types but which are intended to come into contact with more than one single foodstuff or more than one specific group of foodstuffs; whereas this use may be authorized without posing any problem to health provided an appropriate indication informs the consumer or the retailer of the type(s) of foodstuff(s) with which it may or may not come into contact;
Whereas the indication of an excessive number of foodstuffs types which could be in contact with some plastic materials and articles may not be easy to understand and therefore these materials and articles should be submitted to all the food simulants or test media provided by this Directive to protect the consumer;

of 22 December 2011
authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified cotton 281-24-236x3006-210-23 (DAS-24236-5xDAS-21Ø23-5) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Article 7(3) and Article 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 22 June 2005, Dow AgroSciences Europe submitted to the competent authority of the Netherlands 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 281-24-236x3006-210-23 cotton (‘the application’).
(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of products other than food and feed containing or consisting of 281-24-236x3006-210-23 cotton for the same uses as any other cotton with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with Articles 5(5) and 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it 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.
(3) On 15 June 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. It considered that cotton 281-24-236x3006-210-23 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 281-24-236x3006-210-23 cotton 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).
(4) In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of that Regulation.
(5) 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 use of the products. However, due to the physical characteristics of cotton seeds and methods of its transportation, EFSA recommended that, within general surveillance, specific measures are introduced to actively monitor the occurrence of feral cotton plants in areas where seed spillage and plant establishment are likely to occur.
(6) In order to better describe the monitoring requirements and to comply with the EFSA recommendation, the monitoring plan submitted by the applicant has been modified. Specific measures to limit losses and spillage and to eradicate adventitious cotton populations have been introduced.
(7) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.
(8) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(9) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Articles 13(1) and 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from 281-24-236x3006-210-23 cotton. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided for by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and products other than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO 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 in Article 4(6) labelling requirements 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 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 Community 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 Chair and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures.
(16) Since, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council was unable to reach a decision by qualified majority either for or against the proposal and the Council indicated that its proceedings on this file were concluded, these measures are to be adopted by the Commission,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier

Whereas certain other parts of the territory of the French Republic now also fulfill the conditions as laid down in Article 7 of Decision 80/1095/EEC, and, consequently, may also be recognized as officially swine-fever free;
Whereas for the reasons of clarity, it is desirable to present a new Annex whih brings together regions in France recognized as officially free from classical swine fever,
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Annex to Decision 87/361/EEC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 (2) lays down the rules regarding automatic de-commitment of unused appropriations, and in particular provides, for the years 2004 and 2005, that this shall occur on 31 December of the second year following the year of the financial commitment concerned (the n+2 rule for automatic de-commitment) reflecting Article 31(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (3).
(2) In 2005 Bulgaria and especially Romania suffered under severe floods which further hampered the implementation of the instrument and which is likely to have repercussions on use of appropriations provided for the years 2004 and 2005.
(3) It is therefore justified to apply an ‘n+3’ automatic de-commitment rule for the years 2004 and 2005 to Bulgaria and Romania.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee of the European Agriculture and Guidance Fund (EAGGF),
Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 is replaced by the following:

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2003/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2003 on occurrence reporting in civil aviation (1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2003/42/EC requires national occurrence reporting systems to be established, in order to ensure that relevant information on air safety is reported, collected, stored, protected and disseminated with the only objective of preventing accidents and incidents, excluding as a consequence the attribution of blame or liability.
(2) This Regulation should apply to information exchanged by Member States pursuant to Article 6(1) of Directive 2003/42/EC. Information concerning national occurrences, stored in the national databases, should be subject to national regulations governing the release of aviation safety information.
(3) Interested parties, for the purposes of this Regulation, should be defined as any person that is in a position to participate in the improvement of civil aviation safety by making good use of the safety related information collected under Directive 2003/42/EC.
(4) National points of contacts have the best knowledge of interested parties established in their own Member State. In order to deal with information requests in the safest and most efficient manner, each national point of contact should deal with requests from interested parties established in the territory of that Member State while requests from interested parties from third countries or from international organisations should be dealt with by the Commission.
(5) The Commission may decide at a later stage to entrust an entity with the management of exchanged information in accordance with Article 6 of Directive 2003/42/EC and to deal with requests from interested parties from third countries or from international organisations.
(6) A list of points of contacts should be established by the Commission and should be publicly available.
(7) In order to prevent abuse of the system, the contact point receiving a request for information should check that the requestor is an interested party and the request should be evaluated, before the amount and the level of information to be supplied is defined.
(8) The national points of contact should obtain enough information to proceed to validation and evaluation of requests. For that purpose they should use a form containing relevant information on the requestor and the intended purpose of the request.
(9) When certain interested parties regularly need information relating to their own activities, it should be possible to adopt a general decision to supply information in respect of those parties.
(10) A requestor should ensure that the confidentiality of the system is protected, and should limit the use of the information received to the purpose specified in the request, which should be compatible with the objectives of Directive 2003/42/EC.
(11) All points of contact should be able to monitor that a request they have turned down is not reintroduced through the authority of another Member State. They should also be able to take example from the best practices of other points of contact. They should therefore have access to the records of the requests for information and decisions adopted in respect of such requests.
(12) Modern technology should be used for the transfer of data, while at the same time ensuring the protection of the entire database.
(13) In order to enable the Commission to prepare the appropriate measures for exchange of information between Member States and the Commission, as required by Article 6.4 of Directive 2003/42/EC, this Regulation shall apply six months after its entry into force.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Air Safety Committee established by Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonisation of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation (2),
Subject matter
This Regulation lays down measures concerning the dissemination to interested parties of the information on occurrences exchanged by Member States in accordance with Article 6(1) of Directive 2003/42/EC with the objective of providing such parties with the information they need to improve civil aviation safety.
Definitions
1. For the purpose of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:
1. ‘interested party’ means any natural person, any legal person, whether profit-making or not, or any official body whether having its own legal personality or not that is in a position to participate in the improvement of civil aviation safety by having access to information on occurrences exchanged by the Member States in accordance with Article 6(1) of Directive 2003/42/EC and which is included in one of the categories of interested parties listed in Annex I;
2. ‘point of contact’ means:
(a) where a request for information is made under Article 3(1) of this Regulation, the competent authority designated by each Member State in accordance with Article 5(1) of Directive 2003/42/EC or, if a Member State has designated more than one competent authority, the contact point designated by that Member State in accordance with the same provision;
(b) where a request for information is made under Article 3(2), the Commission.
2. The list of points of contact will be published by the Commission.
Requests for information
1. Interested parties established within the Community which are natural persons shall address requests for information to the point of contact of the Member State in which they are licensed or, where a licence is not required, in which they exercise their function. Other interested parties established within the Community shall address requests for information to the point of contact of the Member State in which they have their registered office or official seat or, in the absence of such office or seat, their principal place of business.
2. Interested parties not established in the Community shall address their request to the Commission.
3. Requests shall be submitted using forms approved by the point of contact. These forms shall contain at least the items set out in Annex II.
Special requests
An interested party which has submitted a particular report may address requests for information related to such report directly to the point of contact which received that report.
Validation of the requestor
1. A point of contact which receives a request shall check that it is made by an interested party.
2. If an interested party addresses a request to a point of contact other than that which is competent to deal with such request pursuant to Article 3, it shall be invited to contact the competent point of contact.
Evaluation of the request
1. A point of contact which receives a request shall evaluate on a case-by-case basis whether the request is justified and practicable.
2. If the request is accepted, the point of contact shall determine the amount and the level of information to be supplied. This shall be limited to what is strictly required for the purpose of the requestor, without prejudice to Article 8 of Directive 2003/42/EC. Information unrelated to the requestor’s own equipment, operations or field of activity shall be supplied only in aggregated or unidentified form, unless a detailed justification is provided by the requestor.
3. Interested parties listed in Annex I(b) may be supplied only with information relating to the interested party’s own equipment, operations or field of activity.
Decisions of general nature
A point of contact receiving a request from an interested party listed in Annex I(a) may take a general decision to supply information on a regular basis to that interested party provided that the information requested is related to the interested party’s own equipment, operations or field of activity.
Use of the information and confidentiality
1. The requestor shall only use the information received for the purpose specified in the request form, which should be compatible with the objective stated in Article 1 of Directive 2003/42/EC. The requestor shall not disclose the information received without the written consent of the provider.
2. The requestor shall take the necessary measures to ensure appropriate confidentiality of the information received.
Record of requests
Each point of contact shall record each request received by it and the action taken by it. That information shall be transmitted to the Commission whenever a request is received and/or action taken.
The Commission shall make available to all points of contact the updated list of requests received and action taken by the various points of contact and by the Commission itself.
0
Means of dissemination
The points of contact may supply information to interested parties on paper or by using secure electronic means of communication.
For security reasons, direct access to data bases containing information received from other Member States pursuant to Article 6(1) of Directive 2003/42/EC shall not be granted to interested parties.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 19 October 1987
amending Directive 74/63/EEC on undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition
(87/519/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Directive 74/63/EEC (4), as last amended by Commission Directive 87/238/EEC (5), expressly excludes pesticide residues from its field of application;
Whereas the presence of pesticide residues in feedingstuffs may, in the same way as the presence of residues of certain products and substances which are already subject to control, entail risks for human health, since in general toxic substances or preparations with dangerous effects are involved;
Whereas it is advisable to disregard the fact that pesticides - unlike most of the undesirable substances and products for which rules have hitherto been adopted - are used deliberately by man to protect plant products, since they are not added to feedingstuffs or to the components thereof; whereas, nevertheless, their possible presence constitutes a source of danger in the same way as that of the substances and products already covered by the said Directive 74/63/EEC;
Whereas, for this reason, pesticides should be used in such a way as not to involve any danger for human health;
Whereas, insofar as a few Member States have already laid down maximum permitted levels for certain pesticide residues, these levels differ and constitute obstacles to the free circulation of feedingstuffs within the Community; whereas it is therefore desirable to approximate the existing provisions by inserting them into the abovementioned Directive, which is the appropriate framework for this purpose;
Whereas, in an initial stage, it would appear justifiable to fix in respect of feedingstuffs maximum levels for a group of very persistent and harmful active substances which are or have been used in pesticides, namely organochlorine compounds; whereas Member States may therefore maintain the maximum levels they have fixed for residues of pesticides other than those listed in part B of Annex I until a Community decision is taken in accordance with the provisions laid down for amendment of the Annexes,
Directive 74/63/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 (2) (c) shall be replaced by the following:
'(c) the fixing of maximum permitted levels for pesticide residues on and in products intended for animal feeding, in as much as these residues are not listed in part B of Annex I.'
2. The following headings shall be added to Part B of Annex I:
1.2.3.4 // // // // // 11. Aldrin 12. Dieldrin // singly or combined expressed as dieldrin // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: - fats // 0,01 0,2 1,2.3.4 // 13.

Chlordane (sum of cis- and transisomers and of oxychlordane, expressed as chlordane) // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: - fats // 0,02 0,05 // 15. DDT (sum of DDT-, TDE- and DDE-isomers, expressed as DDT) // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: - fats // 0,05 0,5 // 16. Endosulfan (sum of alpha- and beta-isomers and of endosulfan-sulphate, expressed as endosulfan) // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: - maize - oilseeds - complete feedingstuffs for fish // 0,1 0,2 0,5 0,005 // 17. Endrin (sum of endrin and of delta-keto-endrin, expressed as endrin) // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: - fats // 0,01 0,05 // 18. Heptachlor (sum of heptachlor and of heptachlor-epoxide, expressed as heptachlor) // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of - fats // 0,01 0,2 // 19. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: // 0,01 // // - fats // 0,2 // 20. Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) // // // 20.1. alpha-isomer // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: // 0,02 // // - fats // 0,2 // 20.2. beta-isomer // Compound feedingstuffs, // 0,01 // // with the exception of feedingstuffs for dairy cattle // 0,005 // // Straight feedingstuffs, with the exception of: // 0,01 // // - fats // 0,1 // 20.3. gamma-isomer // All feedingstuffs, with the exception of: // 0,2 // // - fats // 2,0 // // //
3. The heading of the third column in the table in Part C of Annex I shall be replaced by the following:
'Maximum content in mg/kg (ppm) of feedingstuffs referred to a moisture content of 12 %'.
The Member States shall bring into force not later than 3 December 1990, the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Members States with non-member countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 374/98(2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of a threshold for each transaction for external trade statistics may allow appreciable savings in the costs for collecting the information, at the cost of a limited loss of accuracy.
(2) Exhaustive coverage of external trade statistics must be assured, particularly in view of their use at macro economic level for drawing up the national accounts and the balances of payments. The use of a statistical threshold must therefore be compensated for by an estimate of the data below the threshold.
(3) The amount of the statistical threshold was calculated in such a way as to meet fully the objective of savings in the collection costs, while taking account of price trends and respecting the relevance and accuracy of the statistics published in accordance with the Combined Nomenclature.
(4) Other procedures may enable the burden of data collection to be simplified and limited without any effect on quality, for example by using electronic declarations. Application of the statistical threshold must therefore remain optional.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on External Trade Statistics,
Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000(3) shall be replaced by the following: "Article 3
1. The statistical threshold referred to in Article 12 of the Basic Regulation shall be fixed, for each type of goods, so that imports or exports exceeding EUR 1000 in value or 1000 kg in net mass shall be collected for the production of external trade statistics.
2. Application by the Member States of the threshold referred to in paragraph 1 shall remain optional.
3. The data transmitted periodically by the Member States applying a statistical threshold shall be adjusted so that the value of trade situated below the threshold is included in the external trade statistics, at least for total products.
In the absence of harmonised provisions adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 21 of the Basic Regulation, each Member State shall use the method of adjustment it considers most appropriate.
4. Member States applying a statistical threshold shall inform the Commission of the amount of that threshold and the method of adjustment used."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2002.

of 30 June 1988
establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1988/89)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1821/87 (2), and in particular Articles 13a and 22 thereof,
Whereas Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 stipulates that products listed there, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories, are subject on importation into the Community to progressively reduced rates of duty; whereas such reduction of duties applies only up to ceilings above which the customs duties actually applied in respect of third countries may be re-established;
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff ceilings, customs duties are reduced progressively by the percentages specified in that Article, during the same periods and in accordance with the same timetables as provided for in Articles 75 and 268 of the Act of Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic; whereas on this basis, the preferential duty rates applicable in 1988 and 1989 must be equal to 70 % and 60 %, respectively, of the basic rates, with the exception of Chinese cabbages and walnuts, for which the rates must be 72,7 % and 63,6 % respectively of the basic rates; whereas, however, the preferential duty applicable to walnuts is equivalent to a reduction of 40 % on the normal duty rate;
Whereas by virtue of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 of 25 June 1987 concerning the application of Decision No 2/87 of the ACP-EEC Council of Ministers on the advance implementation of the Protocol to the Third ACP-EEC Convention consequent on the Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities (3), Spain and Portugal are to postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for fruit and vegetables falling within Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1117/88 (5), until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas, consequently, the abovementioned tariff concession does not apply at present in Spain or Portugal;
Whereas the application of ceilings requires the Community to be regularly informed of the trend of imports of the relevant products originating in these countries; whereas imports should, therefore, be made subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on offsetting imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possible re-establishment of customs tariff duties as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly swift cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take the appropriate measures to re-establish customs tariff duties if one of the ceilings is reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports of products listed in the Annex originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories shall, in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, be subject to ceilings and to Community surveillance.
The products referred to in the first paragraph, their tariff headings, the customs duties applicable, the periods of validity and the levels of the ceilings are set out in the Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which the collection of customs duties is re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it, in the manner specified in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission may adopt a regulation re-establishing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duties applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities charged for the preceding month no later than the 15th day of each month. At the Commission's request, they shall send statements of the quantities charged for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.
The Commission shall take all appropriate measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 1988.

of 1 October 2004
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include acetamiprid and thiacloprid as active substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Greece received on 22 October 1999 an application from Nisso Chemical Europe GmbH for the inclusion of the active substance acetamiprid in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2000/390/EC (2) 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.
(2) The United Kingdom received an application under Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC on 11 September 1998 from Bayer plc. (now Bayer CropScience AG) concerning thiacloprid. Commission Decision 2000/181/EC (3) 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 those active substances, the effects on human 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 applicants. The designated rapporteur Member States submitted draft assessment reports concerning the substances to the Commission on 19 March 2001 (acetamiprid) and 22 November 2000 (thiacloprid).
(4) The draft assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 29 June 2004 in the format of the Commission review reports for acetamiprid and thiacloprid.
(5) The review of acetamiprid and thiacloprid did not reveal any open questions or concerns, which would have required a consultation of the Scientific Committee on Plants.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances concerned 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 include acetamiprid and thiacloprid in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) After the inclusion of acetamiprid and thiacloprid in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of that Directive as regards plant protection products containing those substances and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, by the end of this period at the latest, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 June 2005 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2005.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant protection product containing acetamiprid or thiacloprid to ensure that the conditions relating to these active substances set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw authorisations in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 June 2005 at the latest.
2. For each authorised plant protection product containing acetamiprid or thiacloprid as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 December 2004 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing acetamiprid or thiacloprid as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2006 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing acetamiprid or thiacloprid as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2006 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2005.

31998D0730 | 98/730/EC: Commission Decision of 8 December 1998 concerning applications submitted by Rubycon UK for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on imports of certain large electrolytic aluminium capacitors originating in Japan (notified under document number C(1998) 3542) (Only the English text is authentic)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 8 December 1998 concerning applications submitted by Rubycon UK for the refund of anti-dumping duties collected on imports of certain large electrolytic aluminium capacitors originating in Japan (notified under document number C(1998) 3542) (Only the English text is authentic) (98/730/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 11(8) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3482/92 (3) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of large electrolytic aluminium capacitors with a CV product (capacitance multiplied by rated voltage) between 18 000 and 310 000 micro-coulombs at a voltage of 160 V or more, and with a diameter of 19mm or more and a length of 20 mm or more (hereinafter referred to as LAECs) originating in Japan. The rate of definitive duty applicable to imports of the product manufactured by Rubycon Corporation, Ina Nagano (hereinafter referred to as Rubycon Japan) was set at 30,1 %. This was the level of duty in force in respect of the imports for which a refund is claimed.
(2) On 28 August 1996 Rubycon Japan submitted a request for an interim review (hereinafter referred to as the review) which was initiated on 17 December 1996 by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4). The Commission sought and verified all the information it considered necessary and made verification visits to the premises of Rubycon Japan and of its subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Rubycon UK within the framework of the review which covered the period from 1 October 1995 to 30 September 1996. The review was concluded by Council Regulation (EC) No 2593/97 (5) which determined that the dumping margin of Rubycon Japan for the product concerned during the investigation period was 4,2 % and reduced the anti-dumping duty accordingly.
(3) On 28 August 1996 and 3 February 1997 Rubycon Japan's subsidiary in the United Kingdom (hereinafter referred to as the applicant) submitted applications for the refund of GBP [ . . . ] (6) (57 transactions in total). The refund claim corresponds to anti-dumping duties paid on imports of LAECs originating in Japan released for free circulation in the United Kingdom in the period from 26 February 1996 to 3 December 1996. The goods for which a refund is claimed were invoiced by Rubycon Japan between 19 January 1996 and 25 October 1996.
(4) The applicant received disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to adopt this Decision. The applicant made no comment.
(5) Since the merits of the refund applications which are within the scope of this Decision as defined in recital 7 are dependent in their entirety on the findings of the review, the applications should be considered to be duly substantiated by evidence within the meaning of the fourth subparagraph of Article 11(8) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the Basic Regulation) from the date on which the findings of the review were published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, that is 23 December 1997.
B. ARGUMENTS OF THE APPLICANT
(6) The applicant claims that the dumping margin in respect of the LAECs released into free circulation in the Community during the period from 26 February 1996 to 3 December 1996 for which anti-dumping duties were paid was significantly lower than the applicable duty rate of 30,1 %.
C. SCOPE OF THIS DECISION
(7) The applications in respect of 52 transactions on which anti-dumping duties of GBP [ . . . ] were paid relate to invoices issued within the investigation period set for that review (that is from 1 October 1995 to 30 September 1996). Since these transactions fall within the investigation period of the review, the merits of the refund applications should be established on the basis of the results of the review investigation in accordance with the fourth subparagraph of Article 11(8) of the Basic Regulation.
(8) This Decision does not concern itself with the applications in respect of the remaining five transactions totalling GBP [ . . . ] of anti-dumping duties. These will be dealt with by another Decision following the conclusions of a separate review, not yet concluded, which was initiated on 3 December 1997 by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (7) further to a request from the Federation for Appropriate Remedial Anti-Dumping (FARAD).
D. ADMISSIBILITY
(9) The applications are inadmissible in respect of two import transactions totalling GBP [ . . . ] of anti-dumping duties because the time-limit of six months prescribed by the Basic Regulation between the determination of duties to be levied and the submission of the applications for refund was not respected with regard to those two transactions.
(10) The applications in respect of the other transactions should be considered as admissible since they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Basic Regulation, in particular in respect of time limits.
E. MERITS OF THE APPLICATIONS
(11) The Commission considers that the information and findings of the review, whose investigation covered the period from 1 October 1995 to 30 September 1996, should be used in this instance in accordance with the fourth subparagraph of Article 11(8) of the Basic Regulation, to determine whether and to what extent a refund is justified for the import transactions which were invoiced by Rubycon Japan between 1 October 1995 and 30 September 1996 (see recital 7).
(12) As mentioned above, the review determined that the dumping margin for the product concerned exported by Rubycon Japan in the period of investigation was 4,2 %. As a result of the comparison with the duty applied, an amount of GBP [ . . . ] is refundable to the applicant and the application should be rejected in so far as concerns the remaining GBP [ . . . ],
1. The refund applications submitted by Rubycon UK for the period from 26 February 1996 to 3 December 1996 are granted in respect of GBP [ . . . ].
2. The refund applications are rejected in respect of GBP [ . . . ].
The amount set in Article 1(1) shall be refunded by the United Kingdom.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Rubycon UK, Aqua House, The Runway, South Ruislip, Middlesex HA4 6SE, United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
31989D0103 | 89/103/EEC: Commission Decision of 27 January 1989 authorizing the French Republic to permit temporarily the marketing of sunflower seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 69/208/EEC
| COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 January 1989
authorizing the French Republic to permit temporarily the marketing of sunflower seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 69/208/EEC
(89/103/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the French Republic,
Whereas in France the production of sunflower seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC of varieties resistant to the disease Phomopsis which are included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or the French national catalogue of varieties has been insufficient in 1988 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the French Republic should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1989, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of the category 'certified seed' of varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided that it is intended for France;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is hereby authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1989, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 460 tonnes of sunflower seed (Helianthus annuus L.) of the category 'certified seed' of varieties resistant to the disease Phomopsis which are included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species, nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties. The official label shall state 'Intended exclusively for France'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 460 tonnes of sunflower seed provided that it is intended exclusively for France. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for France'.
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 July 1989 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 |

derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards set-aside in certain areas of France
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1038/2001(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1157/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the conditions for granting area payments and in particular for set-aside.
(2) Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999 provides that areas set aside must so remain for a period commencing on 15 January at the latest and ending on 31 August at the earliest, and that they may not be used, save as otherwise provided, for agricultural production or any lucrative purpose. The floods in certain areas of France in April and May 2001 have affected supplies of fodder and have made producers vulnerable to heavy losses of income by compelling them to sell their livestock if the normal feed cannot be provided. Temporary alternatives should therefore be offered by authorising the use of land set aside under the arable-crop scheme in duly justified cases having regard to objective criteria and on condition that at least 27 % of the forage area of the holding in question has been flooded, provisin nonetheless being made for measures to ensure that the land is not used for any lucrative purpose.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. For the 2001/02 marketing year, notwithstanding Article 19(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999, land declared as set aside in the departments listed in the Annex hereto may be used for feeding livestock in duly justified cases having regard to objective criteria and on condition that at least 27 % of the forage area of the holdings in question has been flooded.
2. France shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the land set aside is not used for any lucrative purpose and shall in particular make sure that the products harvested on the land in question are excluded from the aid scheme for dried fodder provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 603/95(5).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 26 April 2004
prohibiting imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) originating in Bolivia, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia and Sierra Leone and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1036/2001
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Fishery resources, which are an exhaustible natural resource, should be protected in the interests of biological balances and global food security.
(2) In 1998 the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), to which the European Community is a contracting party, adopted resolution 98-18 concerning unreported and unregulated catches of tuna by large-scale longline vessels in the Convention area.
(3) The stocks concerned cannot be managed effectively by the ICCAT contracting parties, whose fishermen are obliged to reduce their catches of tuna, unless all non-contracting parties fishing Atlantic bigeye tuna cooperate with ICCAT and comply with its conservation and management measures.
(4) ICCAT has identified Belize, Bolivia, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia, Honduras, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Sierra Leone as countries whose vessels fish Atlantic bigeye tuna in a manner which diminishes the effectiveness of the organisation's tuna conservation measures, substantiating its findings with data concerning catches, trade and the activities of vessels.
(5) Imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna originating in Belize, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are currently prohibited by Regulation (EC) No 1036/2001 of 22 May 2001 prohibiting imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnnus obesus) originating in Belize, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Honduras(1).
(6) ICCAT has taken note of the strengthening of cooperation with Honduras for the conservation of Atlantic bigeye tuna. At its 2002 annual meeting it recommended the lifting of the prohibition of imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna in any form imposed by the contracting parties on Honduras.
(7) ICCAT has taken note of the progress of cooperation with Belize and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for the conservation of Atlantic bigeye tuna. At its 2003 annual meeting it lifted, as of 1 January 2004, the prohibition of imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna in any form imposed by the contracting parties on Belize and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
(8) ICCAT's attempts to encourage Bolivia, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia and Sierra Leone to comply with measures for the conservation and management of Atlantic bigeye tuna have been to no avail.
(9) ICCAT has recommended its contracting parties to take appropriate steps to prohibit imports of Atlantic bigeye tuna products in any form from Bolivia, Georgia and Sierra Leone and to continue prohibiting such imports from Cambodia and Equatorial Guinea. These measures will be lifted as soon as it is established that the countries in question have brought their fishing practices into line with ICCAT's measures. These measures should therefore be implemented by the Community, which has sole competence in this matter. However, in view of the notification periods required by ICCAT, the ban on imports from Georgia should not enter into force until 1 July 2004.
(10) These measures are compatible with the Community's obligations under other international agreements.
(11) For the sake of transparency, Regulation (EC) No 1036/2001 should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Regulation,
For the purposes of this Regulation, "importation" means the customs procedures referred to in Article 4(15)(a), (15)(b) and (16)(a) to (16)(f) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(2).
1. The importation into the Community of Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) originating in Bolivia, Cambodia, Equatorial Guinea and Sierra Leone and falling within CN codes ex 0301 99 90, 0302 34 00, ex 0302 70 00, 0303 44 00, ex 0303 80 00, ex 0304 10 38, ex 0304 10 98, ex 0304 20 45, ex 0304 90 97 ex 0305 10 00, ex 0305 20 00, ex 0305 30 90, ex 0305 49 80, ex 0305 59 80 and ex 0305 69 80 is prohibited.
2. The importation of any processed product derived from the Atlantic bigeye tuna referred to in paragraph 1 and falling within codes ex 1604 14 11, ex 1604 14 16 and ex 1604 14 18 and ex 1604 20 70 is prohibited.
3. The importation into the Community of Atlantic bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) originating in Georgia and falling within CN codes ex 0301 99 90, 0302 34 00, 0303 44 00, ex 0304 10 38, ex 0304 10 98, ex 0304 20 45, ex 0304 90 97, ex 0305 20 00, ex 0305 30 90, ex 0305 49 80, ex 0305 59 80 and ex 0305 69 80 is prohibited.
4. The importation of any processed product derived from the Atlantic bigeye tuna referred to in paragraph 3 and falling within codes ex 1604 14 11, ex 1604 14 16 and ex 1604 14 18 and ex 1604 20 70 is prohibited.
This Regulation shall not apply to quantities of the products referred to in Article 2 and originating in Bolivia, Georgia and Sierra Leone which can be shown to the satisfaction of the competent national authorities to have been under way to Community territory on the date of its entry into force and which are released for free circulation no later than 14 days after that date.
1. Regulation (EC) No 1036/2001 is hereby repealed.
2. References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as being made to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) and (4) shall apply from 1 July 2004.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin.
(2) Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down the rules for the importation into the Community of live animals, embryos, ova and products of animal origin. The removal of specified risk material from products destined for food and feed is the single most important public health protection measure.
(3) Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides for the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof to be determined by classification into three categories: negligible BSE risk, controlled BSE risk and undetermined BSE risk. That Article also provides for a reassessment of the Community categorisation of countries following the establishment by the World Organisation for Animal health (OIE) of a procedure for the classification of countries by category.
(4) Pending the adoption of a decision on the BSE status of Member States and third countries, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides for transitional measures to be applied for a period ending on 1 July 2007. Under the transitional measures regarding BSE the restrictions on imports into the Community from third countries with a BSE risk covered meat products as defined in Council Directive 77/99/EEC (2), which included treated intestines (animal casings). In addition the possibility of triangular trade was introduced where third countries with a BSE risk could export treated intestines, sourced from countries where BSE was considered highly unlikely.
(5) On 25 June 2007 Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 was amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 722/2007 (3). Regulation (EC) 999/2001, as thus amended, introduced a Community categorisation system of countries according their BSE risk, in line with that of the OIE. It entailed not only the listing of all countries under one of three categories: negligible BSE risk, controlled BSE risk and undetermined BSE risk, but also introduced trade rules according to each risk category.
(6) The import rules relating to the new categorisation system referred to meat products as defined in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (4), which excluded treated intestines. In line with the conditions applicable before 1 July 2007 and in order to ensure the same level of consumer protection, treated intestines should be included in the list of products covered by the TSE related import rules in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. Annex IX to that Regulation should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) No TSE related import conditions apply for third countries with a negligible BSE risk status. It is necessary to clarify the import conditions in case intestines are sourced from a country or a region with a negligible BSE risk and treated in a third country with a different BSE risk status. For consistency reasons the possibility of triangular trade should be re-introduced under the new provisions.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 81(2), in conjunction with point (a) of Article 218(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The Union is working towards the establishment of a common judicial area based on the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions.
(2) The Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters Specific to Railway Rolling Stock (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Rail Protocol’), adopted in Luxembourg on 23 February 2007, makes a useful contribution to the regulation at international level in its area. It is therefore desirable that the provisions of that instrument which concern matters falling within the exclusive competence of the Union be applied as soon as possible.
(3) The Commission negotiated the Rail Protocol on behalf of the European Community, for the parts falling within the exclusive competence of the Community.
(4) Article XXII(1) of the Rail Protocol provides that Regional Economic Integration Organisations which have competence over certain matters governed by that Protocol may sign, accept, approve or accede to it.
(5) Some of the matters governed by Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 (1), to be replaced as of 10 January 2015 by Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 (3), Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), are also dealt with in the Rail Protocol.
