Whereas:
(1) Emerald Kalama Chemical BV has submitted an application in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 proposing to change the name of the holder of the authorisation as regards Commission Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 (2) and (EC) No 1138/2007 (3).
(2) The applicant claims that, following a commercial agreement between Emerald Kalama Chemical BV and DSM Nutritional Products Ltd, the latter owns the marketing rights for the feed additive benzoic acid with effect from 15 April 2014. The applicant has submitted documents supporting its claim.
(3) The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.
(4) To allow that feed additive to be marketed under the name of DSM Nutritional Products Ltd it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisations.
(5) Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the amendments made by this Regulation to Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 introduces aid for producers of paddy rice placed on the market by the producer or sold by him direct to an intervention agency; whereas the meaning of sale on the market should be defined;
Whereas, given the date of entry into force of that Regulation, the latest date of 30 June laid down for the crop declaration is not applicable for the 1992/93 marketing year; whereas special provisions should therefore be made for the aid applications and the checks in that marketing year;
Whereas, for the satisfactory operation of the aid scheme, Member States should carry out checks to ensure that the aid is granted in accordance with the conditions laid down; whereas aid applictions must therefore contain a minimum amount of information for the purposes of the checks to be carried out;
Whereas, to ensure efficient application, provision should be made for random on-the-spot checks of the accuracy of applications submitted; whereas these checks should be made on a sufficiently representative number of aid applications;
Whereas provision should be made for the recovery of aid in the event of undue payment and for appropriate penalties for false declarations;
Whereas, for the satisfactory operation of the aid scheme, provision should be made for the computerization of data given in aid applications;

The checks shall be carried out on the accounts referred to in Article 6 and shall cover at least 20 % of the quantity of paddy rice for which aid has been requested and 10 % of the buyers concerned.
Each on-the-spot check shall be recorded in a report.
2. At the end of the marketing year the Portuguese authorities shall cross-check all the aid applications and the crop declarations relating to them. If such checking reveals a discrepancy between a producer's aid application and his production capacity, the Portuguese authorities shall conduct a thorough examination of all the applications submitted by that producer.
However, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the Portuguese authorities ahll cross-check all the aid applications and information available on the crops.
1. If the check carried out on the applications for payment of the aid reveals an excess, the producer shall be disqualified from the aid scheme for the marketing year in question.

Institutions located in Lithuania shall report their reserve base to Lietuvos bankas in accordance with the ECB's reporting framework for money and banking statistics, as laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33). Institutions located in Lithuania that benefit from the derogation under Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) shall calculate a reserve base for the transitional maintenance period on the basis of their balance sheets at 30 September 2014.
3. In respect of the transitional maintenance period, either an institution located in Lithuania or Lietuvos bankas shall calculate such institution's minimum reserves. The party that calculates the minimum reserves shall submit its calculation to the other party allowing sufficient time for the latter to verify it and submit revisions. The calculated minimum reserves, including any revisions thereof, shall be confirmed by the two parties at the latest on 9 December 2014. If the notified party does not confirm the amount of minimum reserves by 9 December 2014, it shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the calculated amount applies for the transitional maintenance period.
4. The provisions of Article 3(2) to (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis to institutions located in Lithuania so that these institutions may, for their initial maintenance periods, deduct from their reserve bases any liabilities owed to institutions in Lithuania, although at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
Transitional provisions for institutions located in other Member States whose currency is the euro
1. The maintenance period applicable to institutions located in other Member States whose currency is the euro, pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9) shall remain unaffected by the existence of a transitional maintenance period for institutions located in Lithuania.
2. Institutions located in other Member States whose currency is the euro may decide to deduct from their reserve base for the maintenance periods from 10 December 2014 to 27 January 2015 and from 28 January to 10 March 2015 any liabilities owed to institutions located in Lithuania, even though at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements mentioned in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).
3. Institutions located in other Member States whose currency is the euro that wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Lithuania shall, for the maintenance periods from 10 December 2014 to 27 January 2015 and from 28 January to 10 March 2015, calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheets at 31 October 2014 and 30 November 2014 respectively and report statistical information in accordance with Part 1 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) showing institutions located in Lithuania as already subject to the ECB's minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33), still showing institutions located in Lithuania as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.
The tables shall be reported in accordance with the time limits and procedures laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33).
4. For the maintenance periods starting in December 2014 and January 2015, institutions located in other Member States whose currency is the euro that benefit from the derogation under Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) and wish to deduct liabilities owed to institutions located in Lithuania, shall calculate their minimum reserves on the basis of their balance sheets at 30 September 2014 and report statistical information in accordance with Part 1 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) showing institutions located in Lithuania as already subject to the ECB's minimum reserve system.
This shall be without prejudice to the obligation for institutions to report statistical information for the periods concerned in accordance with Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1071/2013 (ECB/2013/33) still showing institutions located in Lithuania as being banks located in the ‘Rest of the world’.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1117/2006
of 20 July 2006
on payment of the slaughter premium and additional payments under the veterinary measures prescribing the slaughter of animals in the Netherlands
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 50 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) During the outbreaks, in the Netherlands, of foot-and-mouth disease in 2001 and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in 2000 to 2003, bovine animals were sent for slaughter in the slaughterhouse.
(2) Payment of the slaughter premium as provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 and the related additional payments as provided for in Article 14 of that Regulation for livestock slaughtered in a slaughterhouse was suspended by the Dutch authorities. However, producers of those animals could have received those direct payments provided that the eligibility requirements for the animals concerned were met.
(3) In order to satisfy the legitimate expectations of producers, the slaughter premium and the additional payments should be allowed to be paid up to 15 October 2006 for livestock slaughtered in a slaughterhouse during 2001 in the course of the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak under Council Directive 85/511/EEC of 18 November 1985 introducing Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease (2).
(4) For the same reason, this possibility should also be provided for in the case of livestock slaughtered in a slaughterhouse during 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 as part of the measures to control bovine spongiform encephalopathy adopted under Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (3) and 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 (4).
(5) The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 governing direct payments were repealed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (5) with effect from 1 January 2005. As a result, the measures provided for in this Regulation may no longer be authorised on the basis of those provisions, which raises a specific practical problem.
(6) Payments made under this Regulation should be granted up to maximum ceilings and global amounts.
(7) The amounts of the slaughter premium and the additional payments may have been included in the value of the animals selected for setting the compensation granted under Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (6) and Commission Decision 2001/652/EC of 16 August 2001 concerning a financial contribution towards the eradication of foot-and-mouth disease in the Netherlands in 2001 (7). In that case payment of the slaughter premium and the additional payments would lead to overcompensation of the beneficiaries. Provision should be made for the competent authorities of the Netherlands to ensure that this is not the case before granting the slaughter premium and the additional payments.
(8) In view of the fact that this Regulation is intended to settle the situation relating to the years 2000 to 2003, provision should be made for it to enter into force immediately.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The slaughter premium and the additional payments may be granted in the Netherlands until 15 October 2006 for livestock slaughtered in a slaughterhouse in 2001 under Directive 85/511/EEC during the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak.
2. The slaughter premium and the additional payments may also be granted for livestock slaughtered in a slaughterhouse under the measures to control bovine spongiform encephalopathy under Directive 90/425/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 during the period of application thereof, from 1 January 2000 at the earliest to 31 December 2003 at the latest.
1. For the purposes of granting the slaughter premium, the competent authority of the Netherlands shall ensure that the animals met the following eligibility requirements at the time of slaughter:
(a) they must have been bulls, steers, cows and heifers from the age of eight months;
(b) they must have been calves of more than one and less than seven months old.
The premium shall be paid to producers who have kept animals for a minimum retention period of two months ending less than one month before slaughter.
2. The slaughter premium shall be granted within the limit of the unused part of the national ceiling of 1 207 849 adult bovine animals and 1 198 113 calves each year.
The amount of the premium for each eligible animal as referred to in paragraph 1(a) shall be EUR 27 for the 2000 calendar year, EUR 53 for the 2001 calendar year and EUR 80 for the 2002 and 2003 calendar years.
The amount of the premium for each eligible animal as referred to in paragraph 1(b) shall be EUR 17 for the 2000 calendar year, EUR 33 for the 2001 calendar year and EUR 50 for the 2002 and 2003 calendar years.
The competent authority of the Netherlands shall make the additional payments per head and slaughter premium unit on the basis of objective criteria including, in particular, the relevant production structures and conditions, in such a way as to ensure equal treatment between producers and avoid distortion of the market or competition. Such payments shall not be linked to fluctuations in market prices.
The additional payments shall be granted within the limit of the unused part of a global amount of EUR 8,4 million for 2000, EUR 16,9 million for 2001 and EUR 25,3 million each for 2002 and 2003.
The slaughter premium and the additional payments shall be granted provided that they have not been included in the value used to determine the compensation paid for the animals concerned under Decision 90/424/EEC and Decision 2001/652/EC nor actually paid out in that respect.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| Council Decision
of 5 November 2002
authorising Austria to apply a measure derogating from Article 21 of Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2002/880/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In a request addressed to the Commission, registered by the Commission's Secretariat-General on 7 May 2002, Austria sought authorisation to apply a measure derogating from Article 21(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC.
(2) The other Member States were informed of Austria's request by letter of 21 June 2002.
(3) Article 21(1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, as worded in Article 28g thereof, stipulates that, under the internal system, the taxable person supplying taxable goods or services is normally liable to pay value added tax (VAT).
(4) The purpose of the requested derogation is to enable Austria to designate the person to whom the services are provided as the person liable to pay tax, in the following cases: where construction work and labour are provided by a subcontractor to either a general contractor, a company which carries out its own construction work or another subcontractor.
(5) The requested measure is to be considered first and foremost as a measure to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance in the construction sector, such as the non-payment of invoiced VAT by a subcontractor who subsequently becomes untraceable. The measure also has the effect of simplifying the work of the tax authorities, which very frequently have major problems collecting the VAT due by subcontractors in that sector, without having any effect on the amount of tax due.
(6) The measure is proportionate to the objectives pursued, since it is not intended to apply to all taxable operations in the sector concerned but only to specific operations which pose considerable problems of tax evasion or avoidance.
(7) The authorisation should apply from the date envisaged for the application of the corresponding national provision in the second Abgabenänderungsgesetz 2002. It should be limited to 31 December 2007, so that in the light of experience gleaned up to that date an assessment may be made of whether or not the derogation remains justified.
(8) This derogation does not adversely affect the Communities' own resources from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 21(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC, as worded in Article 28(g) thereof, Austria is hereby authorised, with effect from 1 October 2002, to designate the recipients of the supplies of services referred to in Article 2 of this Decision as the persons liable to pay VAT.
The recipient of the supply of services may be designated as the person liable to pay VAT in the following instances:
1. where construction work and labour are provided by a subcontractor to a general contractor;
2. where construction work and labour are provided by a subcontractor to a company which carries out its own construction work;
3. where construction work and labour are provided by a subcontractor to another subcontractor.
This Decision shall expire on 31 December 2007.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (2), the Commission adopted, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 (3), a plan allocating resources to the Member States to be charged against the 2007 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community. The plan lays down in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 requires a revision of the annual plan when changes occurring during its implementation by the Member States concern 5 % or more of the quantities or values entered per product in the Community plan.
(3) The under-utilisation of butter notified to the Commission concerns more than 5 % of the value of the total butter quantity in the annual plan 2007. Furthermore, certain cereals and sugar quantities are no longer required for the 2007 plan.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the newly available resources should be allocated to other Member States on the basis of their applications.
(5) During the withdrawal operations of rice held in Greek intervention, it was discovered that the available quantities were not sufficient to allow for the full implementation of the annual plan in Greece. It is therefore necessary to adapt the allocation of intervention products or grants for the purchase on the market of products temporarily unavailable in intervention stocks.
(6) The first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 set the deadlines for withdrawal of the products from intervention stocks. As the modification of the plan allocates to Poland supplementary quantities of 203 tonnes of cereals and 3 224 tonnes of sugar and to Slovenia a supplementary quantity of 1 000 tonnes of cereals to be withdrawn from intervention stocks, it is appropriate to derogate from those deadlines as regards those quantities.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for cereals,
The annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the deadlines provided for in the first subparagraph and in the first and in the fourth sentences of the second subparagraph of that Article shall not apply for the supplementary quantities of 1 203 tonnes of cereals and 3 224 tonnes of sugar allocated pursuant to the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland, Norway and Sweden (1), and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Whereas pursuant to Article 2 (3) of the Accession Treaty the institutions of the European Union may adopt, before accession, the measures referred to in Article 149 of the Act of Accession; whereas those measures must enter into force on the date of and subject to the entry into force of the Accession Treaty;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1891/94 (3), lays down the basic rules for the management of the market in that sector and, in particular, Article 1 (6) thereof lays down that the wine marketing year lasts from 1 September to 31 August;
Whereas pursuant to the Act of Accession the common organization of the market in wine will apply in Austria from the moment of accession; whereas, however, there are important market management measures that cannot usefully be initiated during the current marketing year in that Member State; whereas the application of the market management measures should therefore be postponed until the next marketing year; whereas the situation on the wine market in Austria should be monitored in order to allow a harmonious transition from the previous national arrangements to the Community arrangements and ensure the balance of the Austrian wine market;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
This Regulation establishes the transitional measures applicable in Austria in the wine-growing sector.
Without prejudice to the specific transitional provisions of the Act of Accession, the products referred to in Article 1 (2) (a) and (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, where these are located on Austrian territory, that do not meet the requirements of Title II and Articles 65 to 70 of that Regulation or of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4252/88 (4) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 2332/92 (5), both amended by Regulation (EC) No 1893/94 (6), may be marketed, in Austria alone, until stocks are exhausted, when those products:

COUNCIL DECISION
of 5 May 2009
amending Decision 2007/250/EC authorising the United Kingdom to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2009/439/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered by the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 28 July 2008, the United Kingdom requested authorisation to continue to apply a special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC as regards the person liable for the payment of value added tax (VAT) to the tax authorities and previously provided for by Council Decision 2007/250/EC of 16 April 2007 (2).
(2) In accordance with Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter of 17 March 2009 of the request made by the United Kingdom. By letter dated 20 March 2009, the Commission notified the United Kingdom that it had all the information it considered necessary for the appraisal of the request.
(3) The person liable for the payment of VAT under Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC is the taxable person supplying the goods. However, the derogating measure enabled the United Kingdom to apply, until 30 April 2009 and under certain conditions, a reverse charge mechanism which implied that the liability for the payment of VAT shifted to the taxable person to whom certain supplies of mobile phones and integrated circuit devices were made, provided the taxable amount of the supply was equal to, or higher than, GBP 5 000.
(4) The purpose of that derogating measure was to deal with certain aggressive forms of tax evasion, and in particular with ‘carousel’ schemes whereby goods are supplied several times without VAT being paid to the tax authorities while leaving customers with a valid invoice for VAT deduction. The application of the reverse charge, without actual payment of VAT from the customer to the supplier, removes the possibility of that form of tax evasion.
(5) Given the apparent seriousness of VAT fraud in the United Kingdom, as attested by the information submitted by the United Kingdom, and given the measure’s expected preventive effect, the measure remains proportionate since the extension of the derogation is limited to a reasonable period and the measure remains targeted in scope. Furthermore, it does not form the basis of an overall measure for a generalised reverse charge system.
(6) The derogation has no negative impact on the Community’s own resources accruing from VAT.
(7) Legal continuity of the measure should be ensured,
Article 4 of Council Decision 2007/250/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 4
This Decision shall expire on 30 April 2011.’
This Decision shall apply from 1 May 2009.

31975L0716 | Council Directive 75/716/EEC of 24 November 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 24 November 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels (75/716/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 (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);
Whereas the laws, regulations or administrative provisions in force in the Member States lay down limits with respect to the sulphur content of liquid fuels ; whereas these provisions differ from one Member State to another;
Whereas the differences in these laws oblige Community oil companies to adjust the maximum sulphur content of these products, depending on which Member State is being supplied ; whereas the aforementioned differences thus constitute a barrier to trade in these products, thereby directly influencing the establishment and functioning of the common market;
Whereas certain Member States have notified the Commission of projects to limit and progressively reduce the sulphur content of fuels so as to achieve a reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions;
Whereas, in view of the considerable effect of the sulphur content of some liquid fuels on public health and the environment and with account being taken of the aforementioned projects, the sulphur content of gas oils must be progressively and significantly reduced at Community level;
Whereas this Directive is a first step towards reducing the sulphur content of liquid fuels and applies to gas oils only;
Whereas, to take account of the technical and economic consequences of reducing and limiting the sulphur content of gas oils and the local circumstances prevailing in the Member States, it will be necessary to define as from 1 October 1976 two types of gas oil, one for general use and the other for use restricted to zones which may be defined by the Member States;
Whereas a simplified procedure should be set up for revising the sulphur content for the two types of gas oil laid down as from 1980 in order to take account of any appreciable developments over the next few years in environmental requirements or desulphurization technology, or of substantial changes in the economic situation in the Community as regards the supply of crude oil ; whereas, however, such revision could take place only before 1 October 1977 as the industry must know several years in advance the sulphur content which shall apply in order to draw up its programmes for desulphurization plant; (1)OJ No C 76, 3.7.1974, p. 46. (2)OJ No C 16, 23.1.1975, p. 6.
Whereas a sudden change in crude oil supplies leading to an increase in its average sulphur content may, in view of the available desulphurization capacity, jeopardize supplies to consumers in a Member State ; whereas it would therefore seem advisable to authorize that Member State to derogate under certain conditions from the sulphur content limits laid down in respect of its own market;
Whereas the second stage of the programme for reducing the sulphur content of gas oil raises particular technical and economic problems for Ireland ; whereas an exemption for Ireland of limited validity ought not to have a depressing effect on trade in gas oil, since at the present time the refinery installations in Ireland do not cover more than part of its internal needs for gas oil and any exports by Ireland to another Member State in the future must comply with the provisions of the Directive applicable in that Member State ; whereas a five-year exemption should be granted to Ireland before it passes on to the second stage;
Whereas checks should be carried out to ascertain the sulphur content of gas oils placed on the market ; whereas a uniform method should be adopted for the purpose,
1. For the purposes of this Directive: (a) gas oil:
shall mean any petroleum product falling under subheading 27.10 C I of the Common Customs Tariff (1 January 1974 edition) or any petroleum product which, by reason of its distillation limits, falls into the category of middle distillates intended for use as fuel and of which at least 85 % by volume, including distillation losses, distills at 350º C;
(b) type A gas oil:
shall mean any low sulphur gas oil not subject to restrictions on use in the Member States;
(c) type B gas oil:
shall mean any gas oil intended for use in zones: - where ground-level concentrations of atmospheric sulphur dioxide pollution are sufficiently low, or
- where gas oil accounts for an insignificant proportion of atmospheric sulphur dioxide pollution.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to gas oil: - used in power stations,
- used by shipping,
- contained in the fuel tanks of inland waterway vessels or of motor vehicles travelling from one zone to another or crossing a frontier between a non-member state and a Member State.
1. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that: - type A gas oil can be marketed in the Community only if its sulphur compound content, expressed in sulphur, does not exceed 0.5 % by weight as from 1 October 1976 and 0.3 % by weight as from 1 October 1980,
- type B gas oil can be marketed in the Community only if its sulphur compound content, expressed in sulphur, does not exceed 0.8 % by weight as from 1 October 1976 and 0.5 % by weight as from 1 October 1980.
2. Should environmental requirements or the state of desulphurizing technology change appreciably or should the economic situation in the Community as regards the supply of crude oil change substantially, the Commission may, on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, propose amendments to the sulphur content indicated in paragraph 1 for the period beginning 1 October 1980. The Council may decide on such amendments, by a qualified majority, not later than 1 October 1977.
3. If, because of a sudden change in crude oil supplies, changes should occur in the sulphur content of the oil such as to jeopardize supplies to consumers in view of the shortage of available desulphurization capacity, a Member State may allow onto its territory gas oils which do not conform to the specifications laid down in paragraph 1. It shall forthwith notify the Commission, which shall, after consulting the other Member States decide within three months on the duration and details of the derogation.
4. The application of paragraph 1 for the second stage of the programme for reducing the sulphur content in gas oil may be deferred until 1 October 1985 by the Government of Ireland.
The Member States may implement the provisions of Article 2 (1) more rapidly than is provided for therein.
As from the dates of application laid down in Article 2, due account being taken of Article 3, the Member States may not prohibit, restrict or impede the marketing of gas oils, on the grounds of sulphur content, provided they comply with the requirements of this Directive.
Member States shall determine the zones in which the use of type B gas oil is permitted. They shall inform the other Member States and the Commission of their decisions and of their reasons for taking them.
The Commission shall monitor the effects of applying this Directive, with particular reference to Articles 2 and 5 and will, as appropriate, depending on new information available on atmospheric sulphur dioxide pollution levels recorded and progress towards determining Community air quality objectives, draw up suitable proposals not later than 1 October 1980.
1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to check by sampling the sulphur content of gas oils which are marketed.
2. The reference method adopted for determining the sulphur content of gas oils which are marketed is defined by European Standard EN 41, (first edition November 1975).
Pending the entry into force of European Standard EN 41, the checks and statistical interpretation of the results of these checks will be made according to the standard in use in the country in whose territory the gas oils are marketed.
Failing a national standrard, the statistical interpretation of the results of the checks made to determine the sulphur content of the gas oils marketed shall be made according to standard BS 4306/1968 "Application of precision data to specifications for petroleum products".
1. Member States shall implement the necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions for compliance with this Directive within nine months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall ensure that the text of national legislation which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive is communicated to the Commission.

of 21 December 1988
on an action programme for European Tourism Year (1990)
(89/46/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the integrating role of tourism can be turned to account in order to prepare for the establishment, in 1993, of the large area without frontiers;
Whereas tourism promotes greater knowledge of cultures and life styles of Member States of the Community among their citizens, especially young people;
Whereas tourism represents an economic sector of major importance for the Member States of the Community;
Whereas the European Parliament, in its resolution of 22 January 1988 on the facilitation, promotion and financing of tourism, proposed that 1990 be declared European Tourism Year;
Whereas the Ministers responsible for tourism stressed the importance of tourism for the completion of the internal market at their informal meetings on 6 May 1988 and 3 September 1988;
Whereas the most serious problem confronting tourism in Europe is its over-concentration in the high season with congestion of transport and accomodation services as well as deterioration of the natural and man-made environment and under-utilization of capital and human resources in the low season;
Whereas it is therefore important to encourage a better utilization of existing tourism infrastructure and equipment; whereas European Tourism Year should present a valuable opportunity for attaining this objective;
Whereas European Tourism Year can promote greater awareness throughout the Community on the opportunities and advantages of extending the tourist season for the regions of the Community;
Whereas efforts should be made during European Tourism Year to encourage citizens of all Member States, especially young people, to travel abroad to acquire a greater awarness of the reality of Europe;
Whereas, to ensure uniform application of this Decision, a Community procedure for the enactment of implementing rules should be established; whereas a committee should be set up to provide a forum for close and effective cooperation between the Member States and the Commission in this field;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the action concerned, powers other than those of Article 235,
1990 shall be declared European Tourism Year.
The objectives of European Tourism Year are to:
- prepare for the establishment of the large area without frontiers, turning the integrating role of tourism to account in the creation of a people's Europe,
- stress the economic and social importance of the tourism sector, inter alia in regional policy and job creation.
To this end, coordinated actions shall be undertaken by the Community, the Member States and private organizations, in particular to:
- promote greater knowledge among the citizens of the Member States, particularly young people, of the cultures and life-styles of the other Member States,
- promote a better distribution of tourism over time and location while respecting the quality of the environment, particularly by encouraging the staggering of holidays and the development of alternatives to mass tourism, and of new destinations and new forms of tourism,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a co-responsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets for milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1894/87 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas the Council has not to date adopted the prices for the 1988/89 marketing year, which commences on 1 July 1988; whereas the price factors determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1915/88 (3) should accordingly be taken into account for the calculation in order to ensure that the import arrangements continue to operate in the sector concerned;
Whereas the general rate of the co-responsibility levy for the 1988/89 milk year remains fixed at 2 % of the target price for milk, for that milk year and the reduced rate applicable to the first 60 000 kilograms per producer per year in less-favoured areas is therefore, pursuant to Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 1,5 % of the target price;

of 22 December 1987
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for dried grapes originating in Spain (1988)
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 and in particular Articles 30 and 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, according to Articles 30 and 75 of the Act of Accession, the duties applicable on the import into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 of dried grapes falling within codes 0806 20 11 and 0806 20 19 of the combined nomenclature and originating in Spain within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 1 900 tonnes shall be progressively abolished; whereas these duties are to be reduced to 62,5 % of the basic duties on 1 January 1988; whereas, by derogation from Article 30 of the Act of Accession, Council Regulation (EEC) No 443/86 of 24 February 1986 concerning the basic duties to be adopted in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 for the purpose of calculating the successive reductions provided for in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1) provides that the basic duties are those which actually have been applied on 1 January 1986; whereas, therefore, to establish the duties applicable on the import of these products, a Community tariff quota should be opened for the period 1 January to 31 December 1988 for 1 900 tonnes of dried grapes originating in Spain and falling within codes 0806 20 11, 0806 20 19, ex 0806 20 91 and ex 0806 20 99 of the combined nomenclature at the duty shown in the table in Article 1;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade im agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (2) provides for particular rules for the import into Portugal of the products in question, originating in Spain; whereas, consequently, the Community tariff quotas are only applicable in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas from 1 January 1988 the Nomenclature used under the Common Customs Tariff will be replaced by the combined nomenclature based on the International Convention on the Harmonized System of Commodity Description and Coding System;
Whereas this Regulation should take into account this fact by including the Combined Nomenclature Codes relevant to the products in question;
Whereas it is in particularly necessary to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for that quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas having regard to the above principles, the Community nature of the quota can be respected by allocating the Community tariff quota among the Member States; whereas, in order to reflect as accurately as possible the true trend of the market in the products in question, such allocation should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States, calculated by reference to the statistics for imports from Spain over a representative reference period and also to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas, during the last three years for which statistics are available, imports into each of the Member States were as follows:
(tonnes)
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Member States // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // // // // // Benelux // 2 // 26 // 6 // Denmark // 5 // 3,1 // - // Germany // 3 // 3 // 4 // Greece // - // - // - // Spain // - // - // - // France // 80 // 103 // 43 // Ireland // - // 1 // 1 // Italy // 7 // 14,9 // 6 1985, p. 7.
Whereas in the last three years the products in question were only imported regularly by certain Member States and not at all or only occasionally by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, in the first phase, initial shares should be allocated to the genuine importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quotas when imports take place in the latter; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the combined nomenclature;
Whereas, in order to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota should be divided into two instalments, the first being shared among certain Member States and the second constituting a reserve to cover the subsequent requirements of these Member States where they have used up their initial share and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, in order to give importers in each Member State a certain degree of security, the first instalment of the Community quota should, under the circumstances, be fixed at 40 % of the quota volume;
Whereas the Member States' initial shares may be used up at different times; whereas, in order to take this fact into account and avoid any break in continuity, any Member State which has almost used up its initial quota share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas this must be done by each Member State as and when each of its additional share is almost used up, and repeated as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must be in a position to monitor the extent to which the quota amounts have been used up and to inform Member States thereof;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation relating to the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
From 1 January to 31 December 1988, on import into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, the duty for the following products shall be totally suspended within the limits of a Community tariff quota as follows:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota (tonnes) // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // // 09.0303 // // Grapes, fresh or dried // 1 900 // free // // // Dried: // // // // // In immediate containers of a net capacity not exceeding 2 kg: // // // // 0806 20 11 // Currants // // // // 0806 20 19 // Other // // // // // Other // // // // ex 0806 20 91 // Currants in immediate containers of a net capacity of 15 kg or less // // // // ex 0806 20 99 // Other in immediate containers of a net capacity of 15 kg or less // // // // // // //
1. A first instalment amounting to 760 tonnes of the Community tariff quota referred to in Article 1, shall be allocated among the Member States; the shares which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid until 31 December 1988, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 86 // Denmark // 20 // Germany // 27 // France // 558 // Italy // 69
2. The second instalment amounting to 1 140 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
3. If an importer notifies the imminent import of the product in question into the other Member States and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.
1. If 90 % or more of a Member State's initial share as specified in Article 2 (1), or 90 % of that share minus the portion returned to the reserve where Article 5 has been applied, has been used up, then, to the extent permitted by the amount of the reserve, that Member State shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share equal to 15 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next unit.
2. If, after its initial share has been used up, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, then that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 7,5 % of its initial share.
3. If, after its second share has been used up, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall continue until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares smaller than those fixed in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that they might not be used up. It shall inform the Commission of its reasons for applying this paragraph.
The additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1988.
The Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 October 1988, such unused portion of their initial share as, on 15 September 1988, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a larger quantity if there are grounds for believing that this quantity may not be used.
The Member States shall notify the Commission, not later than 1 October 1988, of the total quantities of the products in question imported up to 15 September 1988 and charged against the tariff quota and of any quantity of the initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon, as it is notified, shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall inform the Member states not later than 5 October 1988 of the amount in the reserve after quantities have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available and, to this end, notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. The Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. The Member States shall charge the imports of the products concerned against their shares as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the Commission's request the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 authorizes the Commission to adopt the measures required to facilitate the switch-over from the arrangements existing before implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round negotiations to those resulting from the adjustments to agricultural legislation provided for in the abovementioned Regulation; whereas such measures may only be adopted up to 30 June 1996 and may not apply beyond that date; whereas it transpires that certain matters which are currently regulated by transitional measures cannot be settled definitively before the above date; whereas these matters concern in particular certain arrangements entered into with third countries; whereas it is therefore necessary to extend by one year the period during which the Commission may adopt transitional measures,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC(2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in particular Article 9(4} thereof,
(1) Whereas Commission Decision 98/653/EC of 18 November 1998 concerning emergency measures made necessary by the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Portugal(4) prohibits the dispatch of meat meal, bone meal and meat-and-bone meal of mammalian origin as well as animal feed and fertilisers containing such material from Portugal; whereas Commission Decision 97/735/EC of 21 October 1997 concerning certain protection measures with regard to trade in certain types of mammalian animal waste(5); lays down the conditions for sending processed animal waste to other Member States for incineration or burning as fuel; whereas, however, that possibility is not open to Portugal pursuant to Decision 98/653/EC;
(2) Whereas Portugal has taken measures as notified to the Commission on 12 October 1998, including measures to destroy certain risk materials, to prohibit the incorporation of meat-and-bone meal in any animal feed, to require destruction of meat-and-bone meal, to recall and destroy any stocks of meat-and-bone meal, and of any animal feed that contains meat-and-bone meal; whereas those measures are considered to reduce the risk of exposing humans or animals directly or indirectly to the BSE agent;
(3) Whereas Portugal has informed the Commission that it does not have sufficient capacity on its territory to incinerate meat-and-bone meal, animal feed that contains meat-and-bone meal, and processed specified risk materials; whereas Portugal has proposed to the Commission that it should be possible for such material to be sent for incineration in another Member State; whereas a reduction of the amount of such material stored in Portugal would further reduce the risk of exposing humans or animals directly or indirectly to the BSE agent; whereas, therefore, Portugal should be permitted to dispatch such material from its territory to other Member States for incineration; whereas it is necessary to lay down appropriate guarantees for the controls at the place of destination;
(4) Whereas the prohibition on the dispatch from Portugal of bovine products was to apply only until 1 August 1999, provided that a risk assessment conducted on the basis of the findings of a mission of the Food and Veterinary Office, taking into account the evolution of the disease, demonstrates that appropriate measures have been taken to manage any risk, and that the relevant Community and national measures are complied with and effectively enforced;
(5) Whereas at the General Session of the World Organisation for Animal Health (International Office of Epizootic Diseases (OIE)) Committee from 17 to 21 May 1999, a proposal of the OIE International Animal Health Code Commission concerning the criteria for the determination of the BSE status of a country or zone was adopted; whereas according to those criteria, a country or zone will be classified as having a high incidence of BSE if the BSE incidence rate, calculated over the past 12 months, has been greater than 100 cases per 1000000 within the cattle population over 24 months of age in the country or zone; whereas the current BSE incidence rate in Portugal calculated over the past 12 months per 1000000 animals over 24 months of age is 211; whereas, therefore, Portugal is to be classified as having a high incidence of BSE; whereas Article 3.2.13.9 of that Code recommends conditions for the import of deboned meat and meat products from cattle from a country or zone with a high incidence of BSE; whereas Portugal cannot provide guarantees that those conditions are met;
(6) Whereas missions on BSE related issues have been carried out in Portugal by the Food and Veterinary Office from 22 February to 3 March 1999 and from 19 to 23 April 1999; whereas those missions contributed to the assessment of the application and effectiveness of measures to protect against BSE; whereas those missions concluded that serious efforts and considerable progress had been made in the implementation of risk management measures in a short period, despite not all measures being adequately enforced;
(7) Whereas in those circumstances, it is appropriate to maintain the prohibition on the dispatch of bovine products;
(8) Whereas Council Directive 89/608/EEC of 21 November 1989 on mutual assistance between the administrative authorities of the Member States and cooperation between the latter and the Commission to ensure the correct application of legislation on veterinary and zootechnical matters(6), and in particular Article 10 thereof, lays down the rules for the communication by the competent authorities in the Member States to the Commission of information on operations, which are, or appear to be, contrary to Decision 98/653/EC and which are of particular interest at Community level;
(9) Whereas Directive 89/662/EEC requires the Member State of destination to take appropriate measures in case of irregularities; whereas protocols should be laid down for such measures in the Member States of destination;
(10) Whereas Decision 98/653/EC should be amended accordingly;
(11) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 98/653/EC is amended as follows
1. Article 3 is replaced by the following: "Article 3
1. By way of derogation from Article 2, Portugal may authorise the dispatch from its territory to:
(a) other Member States or to third countries of food destined for domestic carnivores containing material referred to in Article 2(b) provided that that material did not originate from Portugal and that the conditions laid down in Articles 8 and 9 and complied with;
(b) other Member States of material referred to in Article 2(b) and (c) for the purpose of incineration in accordance with the conditions laid down in Annex I.
2. The derogation provided for in paragraph 1(b) shall apply only if the Member State of destination has authorised the receipt of the material referred to therein.
3. Member States of destination shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the list of incineration plants authorised to receive the material referred to in paragraph 1(b).
4. The Member State of destination shall ensure that the material referred to in paragraph 1(b) is incinerated in accordance with Annex I.
5. The Member State of destination shall keep full records demonstrating compliance with this Article.
6. The Commission, after having verified on-the-spot in the Member State of destination the application, as appropriate, of the provisions of this Article on the basis of a Community inspection and after having informed the Member States; shall set the date on which the dispatch of the material referred to in paragraph 1(b) may commence"
2. In Article 4, the words "1 August 1999" are replaced by "1. February 2000".
3. In Article 5(1)(a), the word "Annex" is replaced by "Annex II".

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2577/97 of 16 December 1997 concerning imports of certain textile products originating in the Russian Federation
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1457/97 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) in conjunction with Article 25 (5) thereof,
Whereas the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Russian Federation on trade in textile products initialled on 19 December 1995 expired on 31 December 1996; whereas, pending the completion of negotiations directed towards the initialling of a new agreement with the Russian Federation, Commission Regulations (EC) No 2446/96 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 562/97 (4) and (EC) No 1025/97 (5) were adopted in order to safeguard the economic interests of the Community in the further conduct of trade in textile products with that country;
Whereas the measures brought in by Regulation (EC) No 1025/97 are to apply until 31 December 1997, by which date it appears unlikely that a new textiles agreement can be negotiated and brought into application;
Whereas it is necessary, given the sensitivity of the textiles and clothing sector, to maintain the present import regime for an additional period of three months starting on 1 January 1998 and to establish quantitative limits for imports of the same textile products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1025/97;
Whereas these new limits should be set by reference to the period covered together with an increase which does not prejudge the results of the negotiation of a new textiles agreement;
Whereas in the interim the negotiations to reach a new bilateral agreement between the Community and the Russian Federation before the expiry of this Regulation will continue;
Whereas the proposed measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
1. As from 1 January 1998 imports into the Community of textile products listed in Annex I to this Regulation originating in the Russian Federation shall be subject to the quantitative limits established in that Annex.
2. As from 1 January 1998, re-imports into the Community, after outward economic processing in the Russian Federation, of textile products listed in Annex II to this Regulation originating in the Community shall be subject to the quantitative limits established in that Annex.
Without prejudice to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 are applicable to imports referred to in this Regulation.
As from the date of entry into force of this Regulation in respect to products listed in Annex I the following provisions are applicable:
1. the quantity requested by each operator in obtaining an import licence shall not exceed the maximum quantities set out in Annex III;
2. any importer who has used an import licence to the extent of 50 % or more of the quantity allocated to him pursuant to paragraph 1 may make a further application for a licence for the same category of products provided that quantities remain available within the relevant quantitative limit;
3. the competent authorities of the Member States shall issue import licences only after being notified of the Commission's decision and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2, certify in writing that he has not already been allocated a Community import licence under this Regulation for the relevant category;
4. the requests for import licences can be submitted to the Commission as of 2 January 1998 at 10 a.m., Brussels time. Import licenses shall be valid for three months from the date of issue. At the importer's request the competent national authorities may, however, grant a one-month extension.
Only the quantities of products listed in Annexes I and II to this Regulation released for free circulation into the Community after 1 January 1998 on the basis of an import licence issued pursuant to this Regulation or on the basis of a prior authorization for economic outward processing pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3017/95 (6) shall be deducted from the respective limits set out in the said Annexes.
The provisions of this Regulation shall not apply to imports into the Community of products covered by Annexes I and II, the importation of which has been authorized pursuant to Regulations (EC) No 2446/96 and (EC) No 1025/97.
The provisions of this Regulation shall be subject to review in the event that, during the period of its validity, the Russian Federation introduces measures in respect of quantitative restrictions or increased tariffs or non-tariff barriers such as certification or other import requirements applicable to imports of textile and clothing products originating in the Community, other than those measures in force in the Russian Federation at the date of 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1998.
It is applicable until 31 March 1998.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 7(3), 11(3), 19(3) and 23(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 96/281/EC of 3 April 1996 concerning the placing on the market of genetically modified soya beans (Glycine max L.) with increased tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) the United Kingdom gave its consent for placing on the market genetically modified soybean 40-3-2.
(2) Food produced from genetically modified soybean 40-3-2, including food additives, feed materials and feed additives produced from genetically modified soybean 40-3-2 were placed on the market before the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(3) Articles 8(1) and 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 allow the products which have been lawfully placed on the market before the date of application of that Regulation to continue to be placed on the market, provided that a notification is made to the Commission.
(4) Articles 8(4) and 20(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 require the operators responsible for placing on the market those products to submit an application for renewal of authorisation within certain time limits.
(5) On 16 April 2007, Monsanto Europe SA submitted to the Commission an application, in accordance with Articles 11 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 for renewal of the authorisation for continued marketing of existing food additives, feed materials and feed additives produced from 40-3-2 soybean which were previously notified according to Articles 8(1)(b) and 20(1)(b) of that Regulation.
(6) On 18 April 2007, Monsanto Europe SA submitted to the Commission an application, in accordance with Articles 11 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for renewal of the authorisation of food containing, consisting of, or produced from 40-3-2 soybean, feed containing or consisting of 40-3-2 soybean and products other than food and feed containing or consisting of 40-3-2 soybean with the exception of cultivation which were previously notified according to Articles 8(1)(a) and 20(1)(a) of that Regulation.
(7) On 1 December 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave two favourable opinions in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that the new information provided in the applications and the review of the literature published since the previous scientific assessment of 40-3-2 soybean (3) do not require changes of the previous scientific opinions on 40-3-2 soybean and reiterated the previous conclusions that 40-3-2 soybean 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 40-3-2 soybean as described in the applications (‘the products’) will have any adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed uses (4).
(8) In its opinions, 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 Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(9) In its opinions, 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.
(10) Taking into account those considerations, renewal of the authorisation should be granted for the products.
(11) 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 (5).
(12) On the basis of the EFSA opinions, 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 and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from 40-3-2 soybean. 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 renewal of the authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(13) 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 (6), 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.
(14) 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 (7). The EFSA opinions do 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.
(15) All relevant information on the renewal of 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.
(16) In the interest of clarity and consistency, Decision 96/281/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(17) 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 point (c) of Article 15(2) 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 (8).
(18) The applicant has been consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision.
(19) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman. An implementing act was deemed to be necessary and the chair submitted the draft implementing act to the appeal committee for further deliberation. The appeal committee did not deliver an opinion,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 47(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1564/2001(4), lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef. In particular, Articles 10 and 16(2) define the periods for submitting tenders and delivery respectively. In view of the dates on which the public holidays fall in the first and second quarter of 2002, it is necessary for practical reasons to cancel the second invitation to tender in March 2002 and to change the closing date for the delivery for the second tender of the second quarter of 2002. Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 should be derogated from.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1627/89 of 9 June 1989(5) on the buying-in of beef by invitation to tender, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 238/2002(6), opens buying-in by invitation to tender in certain Member States or regions of a Member State for certain quality groups. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1209/2001(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2579/2001(8), introduced a number of derogations from Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 in order to deal with the exceptional situation on the market caused by events linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and the subsequent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. In particular, additional products could be accepted into intervention. As this derogation no longer applies for tendering procedures during the second quarter of 2002, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1627/89 accordingly.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Notwithstanding the first sentence of Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, no submission of tenders shall take place on the fourth Tuesday of March 2002.
1. The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1627/89 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
2. Notwithstanding Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, the delivery period for the second tendering procedure in the second quarter of 2002 shall be 24 calendar days.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
shall apply to tendering procedures opened during the second quarter of 2002.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from, third countries, of poultry and hatching eggs(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/867/EC(2), and in particular Article 21, Article 23(1), and Articles 24 and 26 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 95/233/EC(3), as last amended by Commission Decision 2001/751/EC(4), lists in principle third countries, from which Member States are authorised to import live poultry and hatching eggs including ratites and eggs thereof.
(2) Commission Decision 96/482/EC(5), as last amended by Commission Decision 2000/505/EC(6), lays down more detailed rules for the importation of live poultry and hatching eggs and the relevant animal health certificates.
(3) Commission Decision 96/483/EC(7), as last amended by Commission Decision 96/628/EC(8), establishes the list of third countries, which are entitled to use the specific models of animal health certificates.
(4) Bulgaria has requested to be authorised for exports of live poultry and hatching eggs to the Community and has submitted the necessary guarantees.
(5) An inspection carried out by the Commission's services to Bulgaria in October 2000 has shown that Bulgaria is covered by sufficiently well structured and organised veterinary services regarding the animal health status concerning poultry.
(6) Furthermore the Bulgarian veterinary authorities have been able to demonstrate that the specific animal health requirements as laid down in Decision 96/482/EC are fulfilled.
(7) It is appropriate therefore to add Bulgaria to the lists of third countries laid down by Decision 95/233/EC.
(8) Croatia was allowed to export live poultry and hatching eggs only from designated areas of its territory. Inspections carried out in September/October 1997 and October 2000 have revealed that there is no further need for regionalisation.
(9) For reasons of transparency the list in the Annex to Decision 96/483/EC should be incorporated into Decision 96/482/EC. At the same time Bulgaria shall be added to it and the whole country of Croatia shall be listed without regionalisation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annex I and Annex II to Decision 95/233/EC shall be replaced by Annex I and Annex II to this Decision.
In Decision 96/482/EC Article 2(1) shall be deleted and replaced by the following: "1. Member States shall authorise imports of:
(a) breeding and productive poultry, coming from third countries or parts thereof listed in column A of part I of Annex I to this Decision and conforming to the requirements laid down in the model animal health certificate set out as Model A in part II of Annex I to this Decision;
(b) hatching eggs, coming from third countries or parts thereof listed in column B of part I of Annex I to this Decision and conforming to the requirements laid down in the model animal health certificate set out as Model B in part II of Annex I to this Decision;
(c) day-old chicks, coming from third countries or parts thereof listed in column C of part I of Annex I to this Decision and conforming to the requirements laid down in the model animal health certificate set out as Model C in part II of Annex I to this Decision;
(d) slaughter poultry, and poultry for restocking game supplies, coming from third countries or parts thereof listed in column D of part I of Annex I to this Decision and conforming to the requirements laid down in the model animal health certificate set out as Model D in part II of Annex I to this Decision,
provided that they are accompanied by the relevant certificate, duly completed and signed."
Annex III to this Decision shall become part I of Annex I to Decision 96/482/EC and Annex I to Decision 96/482/EC shall become part II of Annex I.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4226/88 of 19 December 1988 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for prepared or preserved sardines originating in Morocco (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 4 of Protocol No 1 to the Agreement on relations in the sea fisheries sector between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco (1) states that prepared or preserved sardines falling within CN code ex 1640 13 10 or ex 1604 20 50 and originating in Morocco shall be imported duty-free into the Community within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 17 500 tonnes (net weight); whereas, in order to ensure a regular flow to the Community market under this quota, the quantities destined for that market may not exceed 60 % of the total volume of the quota in the first half of the year and may not exceed 35 % in the first quarter of the year; whereas at the end of each of these periods the quantities of the products in question which have been allocated to the Member States and remain unused by the latter should be returned immediately to the Community reserve;
Whereas, within the limits of the tariff quota, Spain and Portugal shall apply the customs duties calculated according to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88 of 14 October 1988 laying down the arrangements to be applied by Spain and Portugal to trade with Morocco and Syria (2); whereas the Community tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for 1989;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted;
Whereas, for the period during which this Regulation is to apply, specific administrative and economic circumstances make it necessary to maintain allocation of the quota concerned among Member States; whereas, on the one hand, the administrations concerned will not be in a position to introduce, on 1 January 1989, the conditions essential, from a technical and administrative point of view, for Community administration of this quota; whereas, on the other hand, the prepared and preserved sardines sector is encountering, in certain regions of the Community, economic constraints of a particular nature, bearing in mind notably the importance which sardine production may have in the fisheries production structure as a whole, thus justifying the fact that the traditional commercial outlets for producers on external markets and, as a matter of priority, on the Community market, should not be adversely affected;
Whereas, however, it appears advisable to provide for a new increase in the Community reserve;
Whereas, bearing in mind the way in which trade has developed traditionally, the allocation maintained among Member States should, in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real trend of the market for the products in question, be carried out on a pro rata basis according to the needs of the Member States, calculated on the basis of statistics of imports of the said products from Morocco during a representative reference period and on the economic outlook for the quota periods in question;
Whereas in the last three years the products in question were imported regularly only by certain Member States and not at all or only occasionally by the other Member States; whereas, in these circumstances, in the first phase, initial shares should be allocated to the genuine importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the tariff quota when imports actually take place; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform collection of the duties applicable;
Whereas, to allow for the trend of imports of the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota volume should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to afford importers in each Member State some degree of certainty, an appropriate level for the first part of the Community quota would, in the present circumstances, be 60 % of the quota volume, the second part, 40 % constituting the reserve to which shall also be returned any amounts remaining from the shares allocated when the quota volume was divided up for the first and second quarters of the current year;
Whereas this method of administration calls for close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission and the Commission must, in particular, be in a position to follow the rate at which the quota is exhausted and inform Member States thereof;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989 the customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of the following products, originating in Morocco, shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown below:
Serial No CN code Description Volume of tariff quota (tonnes) Rate of duty (%) 09.1101 ex 1604 13 10 ex 1604 20 50 Prepared or preserved sardines of the type Sardina pilchardus 17 500 (net weight) 0 Within the limits of this tariff quota, Spain and Portugal shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3189/88.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts.
2. The first part of the quota, 10 500 tonnes, shall be allocated among certain Member States; the quota shares corresponding to the first quarter, the second quarter and the second half of the year respectively shall be as follows:
Member States 1st half-year (60 %) 1st quarter (35 %) 2nd quarter (25 %) 2nd half-year (40 %) Benelux 294 210 335 Denmark 75 54 86 Germany 805 574 920 France 1 638 1 170 1 872 Greece 64 46 73 Ireland 99 71 113 Italy 52 37 60 United Kingdom 648 463 741 3 675 2 625 4 200 3. The second part of the quota, 7 000 tonnes, divided into 2 450, 1 750 and 2 800 tonnes corresponding to the first quarter, the second quarter and the second half-year respectively, shall constitute the Community reserve.
4. If the products concerned are presented in the other Member States along with a declaration of entry into free circulation accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw a corresponding amount pursuant to Article 3.
5. The Member States referred to in paragraph 2 shall return immediately to the reserve any quantity of the quota shares allocated to them when the quota volumes relating to the first and second quarters were divided up which, on 31 March and 30 June 1989, are unused.
If a Member State has used its entire initial share as specified in Article 2 (2), or that share less any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 2 (5) or Article 4, the following provisions shall apply.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into circulation, for a product covered by this Regulation and if this is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3).
Requests for drawings, with an indication of the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings shall be granted by the Commission, by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the reserve, allocation shall be made on a basis proportionate to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedures.
By 1 October 1989 at the latest, Member States must return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 September 1989, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there is reason to believe that it might not be used.
By 1 October 1989 at the latest, Member States must notify the Commission of the total quantities of the products concerned imported on or before 15 September 1989 and charged against the Community quotas and of any portion of their initial shares that they are returning to each of the reserves.
The Commission shall keep account of the shares drawn by Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserves have been used up as soon as it has been notified.
It shall inform the Member States not later than 5 October 1989 of the state of each of the reserves following any return of quota shares pursuant to Article 4.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the final drawing.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional drawings of shares pursuant to Article 3 enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated share of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have free access to the quota shares allocated to them.
3. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports of the products concerned originating in Morocco and entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their quota shares.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

(83/364/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 14 January 1983, Italy 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 'Scintrex - High Sensitivity Vector Fluxgate Magnetometer, model MFM-3', ordered in November 1980 and intended to be used for the studies of polarization induced with a magnetic detector, the observation and recording of the micropulsations of the earth's magnetic field, caused mainly by solar agents, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 31 May 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a magnetometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the sensibility in the magnetic detection, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Scintrex - High Sensitivity Vector Fluxgate Magnetometer, model MFM-3' which is the subject of an application by Italy of 14 January 1983 may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1720/91 (2), and in particular Article 20d (3) and (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 20d (3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, when certain conditions are met, a decision may be taken that producer groups and associations recognized pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 (3) may conclude storage contracts for olive oil; whereas the market situation during the first month of the 1991/92 marketing year has been such that the conditions laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 314/88 (4) are met; whereas permission to conclude storage contracts should therefore be granted for the 1987/88 marketing year;
Whereas the aim behind private storage contracts is temporary withdrawal of products from a market in imbalance, without change of ownership, so that they can be put on the market again when the situation has returned to normal; whereas it should therefore be specified that storage contracts may be entered into only for olive oil produced during the current marketing year;
Whereas only recognized groups and associations may be authorized to store oil produced by their members; whereas in order to enable them to refrain from marketing the oil that they hold aid should be granted;
Whereas the aim behind private storage must be the improved marketing of olive oil; whereas the period during which storage contracts may be concluded should therefore be restricted; whereas, moreover, the offering of oil for intervention on expiry of the storage contract should be discouraged; whereas it is accordingly desirable to reduce the storage aid if the oil is subsequently offered for intervention;
Whereas it is desirable to specify that entitlement for a storage contract is annulled by the acceptance of an export declaration;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The intervention agencies in the producer Member States shall conclude olive-oil storage contracts for the 1991/92 marketing year as provided for in this Regulation.
1. Storage contracts (hereinafter called 'contracts') shall be concluded only with recognized groups or associations within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 1360/78 which hold olive oil of Community origin produced by their own members and which have appropriate storage facilities at their disposal.
2. Contracts shall relate only to olive-oil qualities that may be offered for intervention and to lots of at least 100 tonnes net of the same quality. In Portugal, however the minimum size of lots shall be 25 tonnes.
3. Contracts shall be concluded for a period of 60 days. They shall be automatically renewed for 60-day periods if the party concerned does not, before expiry of the period, ask the intervention agency to cancel the contract, always provided that the new expiry date is not later than 31 October 1992 and, except where the possibility of concluding new contracts or renewing them is suspended, as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 314/88.
4. The maximum quantity that may be covered by contacts at any one time during the 1991/92 marketing year shall be 200 000 tonnes.
1. With a view to conclusion of a contract, a written application must be lodged, by 15 April 1992 at the latest, with the intervention agency of the Member State in which the olive oil is located. It must be accompanied by proof that a security of ECU 0,5 per 100 kilograms of oil has been lodged.
2. Applications must be lodged on Mondays or Tuesdays of each week. On Wednesdays Member States shall notify the Commission of the quantities for which valid applications have been made and for which contracts expired in the previous week.
The Commission shall each week total the quantities for which applications have been made and shall, until exhaustion of the maximum quantity specified in Article 2 (5), authorize Member States to accept the applications made. Should there be a risk of exhaustion of the quantity it shall authorize acceptance of quantities applied for proportionally to the quantity available.
3. After authorization by the Commission, contracts shall be concluded without discrimination and as rapidly as possible. The date of conclusion of the contract shall be that of sending notification of acceptance of the relevant application by the intervention agency. The date of commencement of the contract shall be the day following the date of conclusion, unless the applicant has requested a later date.
4. Only olive oil produced in the Community during the current marketing year may be the subject of a contract.
1. Contracts shall be drawn up in two copies and shall include the following information:
(a) the business name of the storing party;
(b) its full postal address;
(c) the name and address of the intervention agency;
(d) the exact address of the place of storage;
(e) the number and individual particulars of the lots covered by the contract and the net weight and quality of each lot;
(f) the consent of the owner of the oil stored, if the holder is not himself the owner;
(g) the date of commencement of the contract;
(h) the reference to this Regulation;
(i) the date of conclusion of the contract.
2. Contracts shall make the following obligations incumbent upon the storer:
(a) that of holding in store during the period stipulated the agreed quantity of the relevant product on his own behalf and at his own risk;
(b) that of storing oils of differing qualities in separate and identifiable containers;
(c) that of authorizing the intervention agency to verify at any time that the obligations laid down in the contract are in fact being complied with.
3. The storer may cancel the contract at any moment. He shall thereby lose entitlement to aid for the current 60-day period.
4. The obligation of compliance with the quantity shown in the contract shall be deemed to be met if at least 98 % of that quantity has been maintained in store.
1. For each 60-day period, the following aid shall be granted:
- ECU 3,5 per 100 kilograms if the storage agency provides evidence within 60 days of the date of expiry of the contract that the olive oil has been marketed,
- ECU 1 per 100 kilograms in all other cases.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation 'marketed' shall mean that the oil has either been sold and delivered to a packaging plant approved pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 (5) or, if it is lampante virgin oil to a refiner, or has been exported.
3. An amount of ECU 1 per 100 kilograms may be paid in advance on conclusion or renewal of the contract against security for an equivalent amount.
4. The rate applicable for the conversion into national currency of the amount of the storage aid shall be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day of conclusion of the contract.
5. The amount of the aid shall be calculated by reference to the net weight ascertained on the date of commencement of the contract.
1. Subject to the provisions of Article 7, the aid shall be paid only where all the obligations in the contract have been complied with.
The aid shall be paid, and the securities specified in Articles 3 (1) and 5 (3) released after verification of compliance with the said obligations, within 60 days of expiry of the contract.
2. Acceptance of an export declaration shall terminate the storage arrangement. In this case no aid shall be paid for the period in progress at the time of such acceptance for the quantity entered in the export declaration.
1. In cases of force majeure, the intervention agency shall determine what action it deems necessary given the circumstances invoked. Such action may, in particular, involve payment of the aid due pro rata for the quantity stored and the actual period of storage.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission of all cases they deem to be cases of force majeure and of the action taken in each case.
1. The Member States shall take all action necessary to ensure, throughout the contractrual storage period, verification of compliance with the obligations laid down in the contract. Such verification shall include physical inspection of the goods in store, removed from store or placed in store and verification of the appropriate registers.
Physical inspection shall include verification of the nature and the quality of the stocks and the possibility of their identification and shall include checks as to whether the quantities stored and marked tally with the quantities declared.
2. Failure to comply with the contractual obligations shall entail forfeiture of the security specified in Article 3 (1), without prejudice to any other penalties applicable.
3. Member States shall notify to the Commission national measures adopted in implementation of this Regulation, with a specimen of the contract.
Member States shall notify the Commission by the 10th of each month:
- of the quantities and qualities of olive oil for which contracts have been concluded or renewed during the preceding month,
- by quality, of the total quantities of olive oil in storage at the end of the preceding month, and the total number of current contracts.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the Agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1340/98 (2), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas in order to take account of the existing import arrangements in the cereals sector and those resulting from the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, transitional measures are needed to adjust the preferential concessions in the form of exemption from the import levy on certain cereal products from the ACP States and the OCT;
Whereas the period for the adoption of transitional measures was extended until 30 June 1999 by Regulation (EC) No 1340/98; whereas, pending the adoption by the Council of definitive measures, application of the measures provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 865/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1247/97 (4), should be extended until 30 June 1999;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 865/90 lays down detailed rules for the application of the preferential conditions reducing the import levy for quotas of sorghum and millet; whereas, given that the levies were replaced by customs duties and the advance fixing of the import charge was abolished on 1 July 1995, the transitional adjustment of those provisions should be extended;
Whereas the rates of duties of the customs tariff within the abovementioned quotas are those applicable on the day that the declaration of release for free circulation of the import is accepted;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/92 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3381/90 (4), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control, weighted by a coefficient fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, the relevant information having been received from the United Kingdom for the period 1 January to 31 December 1991, the coefficients for the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable export trends in one of the Member States concerned show a tendency to change significantly; whereas this assessment may be made by taking account of a sufficiently long reference period to eliminate short, insignificant fluctuations; whereas a period of seven years prior to the year in question complies with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993, the coefficient referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of Scotch whisky shall be as shown in the Annex.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 of 23 October 1995 concerning harmonised indices of consumer price(1), and in particular Article 4 and Article 5(3) thereof,
After consulting the European Central Bank(2),
(1) Whereas, by virtue of Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, each Member State is required to produce a Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) starting with the index for January 1997;
(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1749/96(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1688/98(4), sets down an initial coverage for HICPs that is restricted to those goods and services covered by all or most national Consumer Price Indices (CPIs); whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1687/98(5), amending Regulation (EC) No 1749/96, defines the coverage of the HICP as those goods and services which are included in household final monetary consumption expenditure; whereas insurances are part of the coverage of the HICP;
(3) Whereas there is considerable scope for procedural differences in the treatment of insurance in the HICP; whereas a harmonised methodology for insurance is necessary to ensure that the resulting HICPs meet the comparability requirement of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95; whereas, in practice, it is not possible to observe the service charge for a particular insurance policy on a monthly basis;
(4) Whereas the proposed treatment of insurance is consistent with the definitions laid down in the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995(6);
(5) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee (SPC),
Aim
The aim of this Regulation is to set minimum standards for the treatment of insurance(7) in the Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices (HICPs) to ensure that they are reliable, relevant and meet the comparability requirements as laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation the terms given below are defined as follows:
1. "gross insurance premiums": the amount paid by the policyholder for a specific insurance policy to obtain insurance cover;
2. "claims": the amount which the insurance company pays to the policyholder and other parties in settlement of injuries or damage suffered by persons or goods;
3. "premium supplements": the income earned by insurance enterprises by investing their insurance technical provisions, which comprise prepayments for insurance premiums, provisions for outstanding claims, and provisions against outstanding risks;
4. "actuarial provisions": allocations by the insurance company to technical provisions against outstanding risks;
5. "service charge": gross insurance premiums plus premium supplements minus claims minus changes in the actuarial provisions.
Treatment of insurance weights
1. The weights for insurance shall be an estimate of the aggregate expenditure by households on service charges for insurance covered by the HICP expressed as a proportion of the total expenditure on all goods and services covered. The weights shall reflect the average aggregate expenditure during three years.
2. Expenditure financed out of claims shall be treated as being incurred by the policy holder or other parties to the claim and not by the insurance company. The weights of the HICP sub-indices shall include such expenditure where it is incurred by or on behalf of the household sector.
Treatment of insurance prices
1. The prices used in the HICP for the compilation of insurance-price indices shall be the gross insurance premiums.
2. The gross insurance premium shall be taken as the full premium that is payable for the policy and shall not be adjusted, even if the premium or the cover value of the policy is index linked.
3. Subject to paragraph 2, for each insurance policy in the target sample the price-determining specifications shall be kept constant. Where those specifications change, prices shall be treated according to the rules applying to quality adjustment laid down in Article 5 of (EC) No 1749/96.
Comparability
HICPs constructed following the procedures described in Articles 3 and 4 of this Regulation or following other procedures which do not result in an index which differs systematically by more than one tenth of one percentage point on average over one year against the previous year from an index compiled following those procedures, shall be deemed comparable.
Quality control
Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with information on the procedures developed for the treatment of insurances where these procedures differ from those specified in Articles 3 and 4 of this Regulation, before such procedures are used.
Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat), on its request, with information on the procedures used for meeting the requirement of minimum standards established in this Regulation.
Repeal
Footnote 1 of group 12.4A Insurance (S) in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2214/96(8) shall be deleted.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 77(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 77(3) of Directive 2013/36/EU refers solely to ‘debt instruments’, therefore equity instruments in the trading book should not be included in the assessment of materiality of specific risk.
(2) The materiality in absolute terms of exposures to specific risk should be measured by applying the standardised rules for the calculation of net positions of debt instruments. That assessment should consider both long and short net positions calculated in accordance with Article 327(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), after having given an allowance for hedges provided by credit derivatives in accordance with Articles 346 and 347 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 77(3) of Directive 2013/36/EU covering specific risk in the trading book refers to ‘a large number of material positions in debt instruments of different issuers’. These rules therefore set out a materiality threshold for large numbers of material positions in debt instruments of different issuers, pursuant to Article 77(4) of that Directive.
(4) This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority to the Commission.
(5) The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
Definition of ‘exposures to specific risk which are material in absolute terms’ according to Article 77(4) of Directive 2013/36/EU
An institution's exposure to specific risk of debt instruments shall be considered to be material in absolute terms where the sum of all net long and net short positions, as defined in Article 327 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, is greater than EUR 1 000 000 000.
Definition of ‘large number of material positions in debt instruments of different issuers’ according to Article 77(4) of Directive 2013/36/EU
An institution's specific risk portfolio shall be considered to comprise a large number of material positions in debt instruments of different issuers where the portfolio includes more than 100 positions, each of which is greater than EUR 2 500 000, whether those positions are net long or net short, as defined in Article 327 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.
Entry into force

Whereas an expert of the Commission went to Mauritania to check the conditions of production and processing of fishery products exported to the Community; whereas according to the observations of this expert, the official guarantees given by the Mauritanian authorities are not adhered to and the conditions of production and storage of fishery products show serious defects as regards hygiene and control which can constitute risks to public health;
Whereas it is necessary to suspend the import of all fishery products originating in Mauritania pending improvement of the conditions of hygiene and control of production;
Whereas it is necessary to obtain, from the competent authority of Mauritania, guarantees that the requirements of Council Directive 91/493/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 95/71/EC (4), are respected; whereas in view of these guarantees it may be possible to re-examine this Decision in order to reauthorize imports of fishery products from this country;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the Permanent Veterinary Committee,
Member States shall prohibit the import of consignments of fishery products in whatever form originating in Mauritania, with the exception of direct landings from fishing vessels in the Community.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2001(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 14569 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(5) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 14569 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 October 2001.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 26 July 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/413/CFSP (1) concerning restrictive measures against Iran.
(2) On 24 November 2013, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, supported by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, reached an agreement with Iran on a Joint Plan of Action which sets out an approach towards reaching a long-term comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. It was agreed that the process leading to this comprehensive solution would include, as a first step, initial mutually-agreed measures to be taken by both sides for a duration of six months and renewable by mutual consent.
(3) As part of this first step, Iran would undertake a number of voluntary measures as specified in the Joint Plan of Action. In return, a number of voluntary measures would be undertaken which would include, for the Union, the suspension of restrictive measures concerning the prohibition on the provision of insurance and reinsurance and transport for Iranian crude oil, the prohibition on the import, purchase or transport of Iranian petrochemical products and on the provision of related services, and the prohibition on trade in gold and precious metals with the Government of Iran, its public bodies and the Central Bank of Iran, or persons and entities acting on their behalf. The suspension of those restrictive measures is to last for a duration of six months during which the relevant contracts would have to be executed.
(4) Furthermore, the Joint Plan of Action also foresees a tenfold increase of the authorisation thresholds in relation to the transfers of funds to and from Iran.
(5) Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement certain measures provided for in this Decision.
(6) Decision 2010/413/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

(5) On receipt of the report of the rapporteur Member State, the Commission undertook consultations with experts of the Member States as well as with the main notifier (Agrevo, now Aventis) as provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(6) The assessment report prepared by the United Kingdom has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health. This review was finalised on 7 December 2001 in the format of the Commission review report for fentin hydroxide, in accordance with Article 7(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(7) Assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing fentin hydroxide satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the safety of operators potentially exposed to fentin hydroxide and with regard to its possible impact on non-target organisms.
(8) Fentin hydroxide should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) Measures should be taken to ensure that existing authorisations for plant protection products containing fentin hydroxide will be withdrawn within a certain period and will not be renewed and that no new authorisations for such products will be granted.
(10) Any period of grace for disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing fentin hydroxide allowed by Member State, in accordance with Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC should be limited to a period no longer than 12 months to allow existing stocks to be used in no more than one further growing season.
(11) This decision does not prejudice any action the Commission may undertake at a later stage for this active substance within the framework of Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December 1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of plant protection products containing certain active substances(7), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Fentin hydroxide is not included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
1. authorisations for plant protection products containing fentin hydroxide are withdrawn within a period of six months from the date of adoption of this Decision;
2. from the date of adoption of this Decision no authorisations for plant protection products containing fentin hydroxide will be granted or renewed under the derogation provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
Any period of grace granted by Member State in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and not longer than 18 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 322 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) was adopted on 25 October 2012 and was accompanied by a joint statement of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreeing to revise that Regulation in order to take into account the outcome of the negotiations on the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020.
(2) Following the adoption of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (4) and Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), and in line with the joint statement, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 to include the carry-over rules for the Emergency Aid Reserve and for projects financed under the Connecting Europe Facility.
(3) As regards the Emergency Aid Reserve, the corresponding appropriations are entered in Title ‘Reserves’ of the general budget of the Union. Therefore, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 in order to provide for the carry-over to year n+1 of the appropriations placed in reserve and not used in year n.
(4) Due to their nature, projects financed under the Connecting Europe Facility will in many cases require complex contracting procedures. Therefore, even limited delays in the completion of such projects may result in a loss of annual commitment appropriations and undermine the viability of those projects and thus of the Union’s political determination to modernise its transport, energy and telecommunications networks and infrastructure. To prevent this, Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 should allow for the carry-over to the following financial year of commitment appropriations not used by the end of each of financial years 2014, 2015 and 2016 for projects financed under the Connecting Europe Facility. The carry-over should be submitted for approval to the European Parliament and the Council.
(5) Following the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 in order to make decommitted appropriations available again for the purposes of the implementation of the performance reserve and the uncapped guarantee and securitisation financial instruments in favour of small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’),
Amendments to Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012
Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 is hereby amended as follows:
(1) Article 13 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 2 is amended as follows:
(i) the following point is added:
‘(c) amounts corresponding to commitment appropriations for the Emergency Aid Reserve;’;
(ii) the following subparagraph is added:
(b) Paragraph 6 is replaced by the following:
(2) The title of Title II of Part Two is replaced by the following:
(3) In Article 178, the following paragraph is added:
(a) the decommitment of appropriations from a programme under the arrangements for the implementation of the performance reserve established in Article 20 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7);
(b) the decommitment of appropriations from a programme dedicated to a specific financial instrument in favour of SMEs following the discontinuance of the participation of a Member State in the financial instrument, as referred to in the seventh subparagraph of Article 39(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.
(4) The following article is inserted:
(a) the European Parliament and the Council approve it;
(b) either the European Parliament or the Council approves it and the other institution refrains from acting;
(c) the European Parliament and the Council refrain from acting or do not take a decision to refuse it.

Whereas:
(1) Annex X, Chapter 5, Section B, paragraph (a) to the 2003 Act of Accession provides that the structural requirements laid down in Annex I to Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat (1) are not to apply to establishments in Hungary listed in Appendix A (2) to Annex X to the Act of Accession until 31 December 2006, subject to certain conditions.
(2) Appendix A to Annex X to the 2003 Act of Accession has been amended by Commission Decisions 2004/462/EC (3) and 2004/472/EC (4).
(3) According to an official declaration from the Hungarian competent authority, certain establishments in the meat sector have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with Community legislation. Certain establishments have ceased their activities. Those establishments should therefore be deleted from the list of establishments in transition.
(4) The status of two meat establishments and their reclassification as low capacity establishments is still under discussion with the Hungarian competent authority. It is necessary to foresee a short supplementary time in view to clarify the situation.
(5) Furthermore a limited number of establishments have made considerable efforts to comply with structural requirements laid down by Community legislation. However those establishments are not in a position to finish their upgrading process by the prescribed deadline due to exceptional technical constraints. Therefore it is justified to allow them further time to complete the upgrading process.
(6) Appendix A to Annex X to the 2003 Act of Accession should therefore be amended accordingly. For the sake of clarity, it should be replaced.
(7) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has been informed of the measures provided for in this Decision,
Appendix A to the Annex X to the 2003 Act of Accession is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

| 6.2.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 36/13
COUNCIL DECISION
of 28 January 2014
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Croatia
(2014/56/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 126(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Croatia,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 126 TFEU, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 (1), which is part of the SGP, provides for a Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol No 12 on the excessive deficit procedure, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and TFEU sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of those provisions.
(4) According to Article 126(5) TFEU, if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur, it is to address an opinion to the Member State concerned and is to inform the Council accordingly.
(5) Having taken into account its report under Article 126(3) TFEU and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 126(4) TFEU, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit existed in Croatia. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to Croatia and informed the Council on 10 December 2013 (3) accordingly.
(6) Article 126(6) TFEU provides that the Council is to consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Croatia, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.
(7) According to the revision of the 2013 budget and the draft 2014 budget (4) adopted by the Croatian Government and sent to the Croatian Parliament on 14 November 2013, the Croatian authorities envisage a general government deficit of 5,5 % of GDP for 2013, after 5 % of GDP in 2012, and expect the ratio to remain unchanged in 2014 and to decrease only gradually in 2015 and 2016. The Commission services’ 2013 autumn forecast, released on 5 November 2013, projects the general government deficit to be significantly above the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value already in 2013, rising to above 6 % of GDP in the 2013-2015 period in the absence of countervailing measures. As indicated in the Commission report prepared pursuant to Article 126(3) TFEU, the planned and forecast deficits are above, and not close to, the Treaty reference value. The excess over the reference value can be considered as exceptional within the meaning of the SGP. In particular, it results in part from a severe economic downturn in the sense of the SGP. Economic activity is estimated to have contracted by almost 12 % since the peak in 2008. Real GDP is projected to contract further in 2013, with a slight recovery expected only in 2014. Potential output growth, as estimated by the Commission services according to the commonly agreed method, stagnated in 2009, turned negative in 2010, and has been negative since then. The calculated output gap, which has been negative since 2009, is expected to narrow gradually over the forecast period and yet remain negative through 2015, confirming the depth and the extension of the recession. However, the planned excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary in the sense of the SGP. According to the projections of the Croatian authorities and the Commission services’ 2013 autumn forecast, the general government deficit will remain significantly above the reference value also in 2014 and 2015. The requirement concerning the deficit criterion in the TFEU is therefore not fulfilled.
(8) In the draft 2014 budget, the government foresees an increase in the general government debt ratio from 58,1 % in 2013 to 62 % in 2014 and further to 64,1 % in 2015 and 64,7 % in 2016. These figures are slightly higher than those in Croatia’s Economic and Fiscal Policy Guidelines of September 2013, in which the government forecast the general government debt ratio to reach 56,6 % in 2013, and 60,6 %, 63,4 % and 65,3 % in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. In the Commission services’ 2013 autumn forecast, the projection for the general government debt ratio is 59,7 % for 2013. On unchanged policies, the general government debt ratio is expected to rise above 60 % in 2014, thus exceeding the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value. According to currently available information, a USD-denominated bond issuance in November 2013 would bring the general government debt ratio above the 60 % threshold already by the end of 2013. Article 2(1a) of Regulation (EC) 1467/97 stipulates that the requirement under the debt criterion is also to be considered to be fulfilled if the budgetary forecasts of the Commission indicate that the required reduction in the differential with respect to the reference value will occur over the three-year period encompassing the two years following the final year for which the data is available. The forecasts of the Croatian authorities and of the Commission services show that the general government debt ratio is on an upward trend on account of continuing high deficits and weak economic activity and it is expected to remain so over the forecast horizon. Hence the debt benchmark and thus the debt criterion in the TFEU are not fulfilled.
(9) In line with the provisions of the TFEU, the Commission also analysed the ‘relevant factors’ in its report under Article 126(3) TFEU. As specified in Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, for countries with a general government debt ratio above the reference value, those factors are to be taken into account in the steps leading to the decision on the compliance with the deficit criterion if the general government deficit remains close to the reference value and if its excess over the reference value is temporary, which is not the case for Croatia. The relevant factors, in particular the deep and protracted recession, against the backdrop of unsupportive external conditions, have been taken into account in the assessment of compliance with the debt criterion. However, the relevant factors do not modify the conclusion that the debt criterion in the TFEU is not fulfilled,
From an overall assessment it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Croatia.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Article 29(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2302/2002(4), lays down, inter alia, detailed rules for the application to milk and milk products of the import arrangements provided for in the Europe Agreements between the Community and its Member States, of the one part, and certain Central and East European countries, of the other part. In order to implement the concessions provided for by Council Decisions 2003/263/EC(5), 2003/298/EC(6) and 2003/299/EC(7) on the conclusion of Protocols adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreements establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Poland, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, of the other part, the new import tariff quotas should be opened and certain existing quotas should be increased.
(2) Since the import quotas provided for by Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 are normally opened only on 1 July and 1 January, provision should be made for a new period for submitting import licence applications, from 1 to 25 May 2003, and for a derogation from Articles 6, 12, 14 and 16 of that Regulation.
(3) Council Decision 2003/18/EC(8), which approved the Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Romania, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the Parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, repealed Regulation (EC) No 2435/2000. The references made to that Regulation in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should, therefore, be replaced.
(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002(9), which lays down the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States), repealed Regulation (EC) No 1706/98. The references made to that Regulation in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should, therefore, be replaced.
(5) The first subparagraph of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 lays down that importers may lodge only one licence application each for the same quota. An exception is made for quotas for products originating in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where quota numbers are identical since the two countries were previously one country. The quota numbers for those two countries are to be differentiated from 1 May 2003. That exception should consequently be abolished.
(6) Council Regulation (EC) No 312/2003 of 18 February 2003 implementing for the Community the tariff provisions laid down in the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part(10), provides for quota No 09.1924 to be managed on a "first come, first served" basis, in accordance with Articles 308a to 308c of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(11), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 444/2003(12). Arrangements should be laid down for import licences in cases where quotas are managed in this way.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 is amended as follows:
1. Article 5(b) and (c) is amended as follows:
"(b) the quotas provided for in Council Regulations (EC) No 1151/2002(13), (EC) No 1361/2002(14), (EC) No 1362/2002(15) and (EC) No 1408/2002(16), and in Council Decisions 2003/18/EC(17), 2003/263/EC(18), 2003/298/EC(19) and 2003/299/EC(20);
