of 28 November 2003
granting certain parties an exemption from the extension to certain bicycle parts, by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97, of the anti-dumping duty on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, and maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000, and lifting the suspension of the payment of the anti-dumping duty extended to certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China granted to certain parties pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97
(notified under document number C(2003) 4419)
(2003/899/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1972/2002(2) (the basic Regulation),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of 10 January 1997 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 703/96(3), and maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000(4) (the extending Regulation),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93(5) (the exemption Regulation), maintained by Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) After the entry into force of the exemption Regulation, a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption of the anti-dumping duty as extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (the extended anti-dumping duty). The Commission has published in the Official Journal of the European Union successive lists of applicants(6) for which payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.
(2) The Commission requested and received from the parties listed in Table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. The information provided was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned. Based on this information, the Commission found that the requests submitted by the parties listed in Table 1 below are admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.
TABLE 1
>TABLE>
(3) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for all these applicants' bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People's Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
(4) For the above reasons, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty.
(5) In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in Table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.
(6) The parties listed in Table 2 below also submitted requests for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.
TABLE 2
>TABLE>
With regard to these requests, it should be noted that:
(a) two of those parties failed to submit the necessary information requested by the Commission;
(b) another party withdrew its request for exemption;
(c) another party was not found at the address indicated in the application;
(d) the last applicant was visited on the spot by Commission officials and it was found that during the examination period (financial year 2002), the bicycle parts purchased by that applicant were sold on to third parties and subsequently assembled, together with other bicycle parts, by that applicant on behalf of the new owners of the totality of bicycle parts. Therefore, it was not possible to ascertain that the value of the parts originating in the People's Republic of China which were used in its assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used and it was concluded that the applicant does not fall outside the scope of Article 13(2).
(7) Since the parties listed in Table 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption set by Article 4 of the exemption Regulation, the Commission has to reject their requests for exemption, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the Regulation. In the light of this, the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation must be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty must be collected as from the date of receipt of the requests submitted by these parties.
(8) Following the adoption of this Decision, an updated list of parties exempted pursuant to Article 7 of the exemption Regulation and of parties whose requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation are under examination should be published in the "C" series of the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Article 16(2) of that Regulation,
The parties listed below in Table 1 are hereby exempted from the extension to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, and maintained by Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000.
The exemptions shall take effect in relation to each party as from the relevant date shown in the column headed "Date of effect".

The requests for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty made in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 by the parties listed below in Table 2 are hereby rejected.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2934/90 of 9 October 1990 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm originating in Thailand and collecting definitively the provisional duty
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2934/90
of 9 October 1990
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm originating in Thailand and collecting definitively the provisional duty
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protections against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional measures
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90 (1), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm, falling within CN code 8482 10 10 and originating in Thailand.
B. Subsequent procedure
(2) Following the imposition of the provisional duty, the two producer/exporters (hereafter called 'the exporters') named in Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90 and the complainant each requested, and were granted, a hearing with regard to the findings set out in this Regulation. They also made written submissions making known their views on these findings.
C. Dumping
(i) Normal value
(3) With regard to normal value, the exporters contested the rate of profit used by the Commission in its provisional calculations.
(4) They pointed out that this profit margin represents a very substantial increase compared to profit rates used in the previous proceeding relating to the same product originating in the same country and that without such a high profit margin no dumping would have been found. They further alleged that the sales relied upon by the Commission in order to establish the profit margin (as described in the fourth paragraph of recital 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90) were made at exceptionally high prices to a single customer and should, therefore, not be taken into account in establishing the profit margin to be included in the constructed normal value. As a secondary argument, i. e. were the method used in Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90 to be confirmed, they requested that adjustments be made for expenses incurred by their parent company's Singapore sales company, Minebea Singapore Ltd, from whom the goods were transferred to the first independent customer.
(5) The Council does not accept the exporters' arguments.
(6) The fact that a lower rate of profit was considered reasonable in an earlier proceeding, in the light of the situation prevailing then, does not render the different rate established in the present case, on the basis of the new factual situation, unreasonable. In addition, findings cannot be influenced by the consideration that the use of a lower margin of profit in the present case would have led to a smaller or non-existent dumping margin.
(7) As regards the nature of the sales relied upon by the Commission to establish the profit margin for normal value (fourth paragraph of recital 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90), the Council accepts that these sales were made to a single customer but notes that several different bearing types were involved and that the quantities were very large. In addition, there is no substance to the claim that the selling prices were exceptionally high and no concrete evidence has been produced by the exporters to back up this allegation.
(8) Furthermore, the adjustments requested for the expenses incurred by the exporters on the sales described in the aforesaid fourth paragraph of recital 15 cannot be granted. The profit margin used in the present case is not a profit in a third country as such, but has been calculated according to the provisions of Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) in fine of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, i. e. on a 'reasonable basis', this reasonable basis being the ratio of sale price/unit cost referred to in the fifth paragraph of the aforesaid recital 15 in initio. Substantial downward adjustments have been made on this ratio but the Council considers that there is no reason to deduct the expenses claimed, since these expenses would not have been incurred had the transaction taken place within Thailand.
(ii) Export price
(9) No observations were formulated regarding export price, as established in Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90.
(iii) Comparison
(10) The exporters argued that, for comparison purposes, normal value should be reduced by the amount of import duties and taxes payable on imports. Ball bearings exported from Thailand are exempt from these duties and taxes, while they are normally levied on products sold on the domestic market, and the exporters claimed that an adjustment for these amounts should be made under Article 2 (10) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(11) The Council does not agree with the exporters' claim. The normal value was calculated on the actual cost of production, which already excludes the duties and taxes in question. There is consequently no reason to make any deduction from the normal value, since it was calculated net of the import duties and taxes subsequently levied on domestic sales.
(iv) Conclusion
(12) In view of the aforementioned considerations, the Council confirms the findings on dumping set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90.
D. Injury
(13) With regard to injury, the exporters restricted their arguments to the Commission's findings on the lack of profitability element in the injury determination and on the target profit of 15 % used for calculating the injury threshold (recitals 34 and 54 respectively of Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90).
(14) The exporters argued that this level of profit was too high and claimed, in particular, that the ball bearings industry requires a lower level of research and development expenditure than many other sectors or products. They further alleged that it would have been more difficult for the Commission to prove the existence of injury had a lower figure for profit been used for the Community industry.
(15) The Council does not accept the exporters' argument that the target profit for the Community industry is too high. It notes that the figure of 15 % was arrived at by the Commission after taking account of historical trends and of the required levels of investment in fixed assets, research and development, training and marketing. The Council therefore concludes that a 15 % profit represents a reasonable return on sales for the Community industry and that, in view of this, the exporters' second argument, relating to the possible absence of injury had a lower target profit been used, is not relevant.
(16) The Council therefore confirms the conclusions on injury reached by the Commission in the provisional regulation.
E. Causation of injury
(17) No arguments were received from the exporters concerning the Commission's findings on causation of injury. The Council therefore confirms these findings.
F. Community interest
(18) No observations were received from any interested party about the Commission's considerations on the Community interest set out in recitals 45 and 46 of Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90. The Council therefore confirms that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken against unfair competition caused by imports at dumped prices of ball bearings originating in Thailand.
G. Duty
(19) Since the ball bearings under consideration are subject to an export tax levied by the Royal Thai Government to avoid the imposition of countervailing duties (Commission Decision 90/266/EEC (1)), the exporters claimed that the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on the same bearings would constitute a double penalty for the same situation, contrary to Article 13 (9) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. Their main argument concerned the impact of the second type of subsidy, i. e. the
corporate income tax exemption, on the normal value and export price (recital 53 of Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90). They argued that it was arbitrary for the Commission to assume that this subsidy has the same effect on the export price to the Community as it has on the price to the first independent customer in Singapore, which was used to determine the profit margin for the construction of normal value.
(20) The Council, however, considers that the Commission is correct to assume that an export subsidy, granted equally to all exports, leads to the same proportional reduction in the price of exports to all destinations. The Council therefore rejects the arguments of the exporters and confirms the Commission's conclusions with regard to the combination of anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
H. Collection of provisional duties
(21) In view of the dumping margins established and the seriousness of the injury caused to the Community industry, the Council considers it necessary that the amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duties should be collected in full.
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty of 6,7 % at the net free-at-Community frontier price before duty is hereby imposed on imports of ball bearings with greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm, falling within CN code 8482 10 10 and originating in Thailand.
2. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty under Regulation (EEC) No 1613/90 shall be definitively collected in full.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,

Council Regulation (EU) No 1264/2010 of 20 December 2010 amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1264/2010
of 20 December 2010
amending Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 opening and providing for the management of autonomous tariff quotas of the Union for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure sufficient and uninterrupted supplies of certain goods which are insufficiently produced in the Union and to avoid any disturbances on the market for certain agricultural and industrial products, autonomous tariff quotas were opened by Council Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 (1). Products within those tariff quotas can be imported at reduced or zero duty rates. For the same reasons,with effect from 1 January 2011 new tariff quotas at a zero duty rate for an appropriate volume for certain additional products should be opened.
(2) The quota volume for autonomous tariff quotas entered with the order numbers 09.2977 and 09.2635 are insufficient to meet the needs of the industry of the Union for the current quota period ending on 31 December 2010. Consequently, those quota volumes should be increased with effect from 1 July 2010.
(3) It is no longer in the interest of the Union to continue to grant tariff quotas in 2011 for certain products for which such quotas were established for 2010. Those quotas should therefore be closed with effect from 1 January 2011 and the products concerned should be deleted from the list in Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010.
(4) In view of the many changes to be made, clarity requires Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/10 to be replaced in its entirety.
(5) Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since the tariff quotas have to take effect from 1 January 2011, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force immediately,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
With effect from 1 July 2010, in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 7/2010:
— the quota volume of the tariff quota for order number 09.2977 is fixed at 40 000 tonnes,
— the quota volume of the tariff quota for order number 09.2635 is fixed at 1 300 000 km,
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2011.
shall apply from 1 July 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) For the purpose of fixing the representative prices, account must be taken of all the information provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, except in the cases provided for in Article 4 of that Regulation and those prices should be fixed, where appropriate, in accordance with the method provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation.
(3) Prices not referring to the standard quality should be adjusted upwards or downwards, according to the quality of the molasses offered, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(4) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product concerned and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the terms laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(5) The representative prices and additional import duties for the products concerned should be fixed in accordance with Articles 1(2) and 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3834/90 of 20 December 1990 extending to 1991 the levies on certain agricultural products originating in developing countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1028/93 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3834/90 introduces arrangements for reducing import levies on certain products in the pigmeat, eggs and poultry and cereals sectors; whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3667/93 (5), which extends the application of Regulation 3834/90 for the period 1 January to 30 June 1994; whereas detailed rules for the application of that Regulation should be adopted as regards products in the poultrymeat sector with a view to administering the fixed amounts concerned;
Whereas, for the products covered by order Nos 59.0020 and 59.0025 (various duck products), those detailed rules are either supplementary to or derogate from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3519/93 (7);
Whereas, in order to ensure proper administration of the fixed amounts, for the products covered by order Nos 59.0020 and 59.0025, a security should be required for applications of import licences and certain conditions be laid down as regard applications for licences, in particular restricting the number of operators who can request licences taking into account the limited amounts of products available within the context of this system; whereas the fixed amounts should be staggered over the year and the procedure for lodging licences as well as their duration of validity should be specified; whereas, however, licences must not be valid beyond 30 June 1994;
Whereas it is possible for products covered by order No 59.0030 (various goose products) to replace the system of import licences with a system for monitoring quantities actually imported, which is less restrictive for importers;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
All imports into the Community in the framework of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3834/90 of products covered by order Nos 59.0020 or 59.0025 in the Annex to the said Regulation shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.

91/550/EEC: Commission Decision of 26 September 1991 concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of compact disc players originating in Japan (Analog und Digital Systeme GmbH) (Only the German text is authentic)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 26 September 1991 concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of compact disc players originating in Japan (Analog and Digital Systeme GmbH) (Only the German text is authentic) (91/550/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) N° 112/90 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain compact disc players originating in Japan and the Republic of Korea. A duty of 32 % was imposed on products originating in Japan, save where otherwise provided. Since Asahi Corporation was not among the exporters to which a lower duty was applied, imports into the Community of its compact disc players are subject to a duty of 32 %.
(2) Between February and May 1991, Analog and Digital Systeme GmbH, an independent importer based in Kronberg am Taunus, Germany, made three applications for refund of definitive anti-dumping duties paid on the importation of compact disc players produced and exported by Asahi Corporation. The first application concerned imports in November 1990. The other applications concerned imports in March and April 1991. The total amount requested is DM (...) (3), representing all the anti-dumping duty paid on the imports in question. The applications, addressed to the German customs authorities, were forwarded to the Commission. The applicant supplied data permitting the calculation of normal value for the six months preceding each import operation, as provided for in points 1 (3) (B) (a) and 1 (7) of the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (4).
(3) The Commission asked the applicant for further information on normal value, which was supplied to the Commission by Asahi Corporation at the request of the applicant.
(4) The applicant was informed of the preliminary results of the eximation and given an opportunity to comment.
(5) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. N° Member State raised any objection.
B. ARGUMENT OF THE APPLICANT
(6) Essentially, the applicant argued that it had paid export prices significantly in excess of the normal value of the imported compact disc players.
C. ADMISSIBILITY
(7) Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2423/88 provides that applications for refund of anti-dumping duty must be submitted within three months of the date on which the amount of the definitive duties to be levied was duly determined. The applications are thus admissible since they were submitted in accordance with the relevant Community legislation.
D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(8) The applications must be accepted in part. Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) N° 2423/88 makes it the responsibility of the importer who has paid an anti-dumping duty and is applying for refund of that duty to show that the duties collected exceed the dumping margin calculated for the relevant period of investigation corresponding to the six-month period preceding the imports on which the duty has been collected. This actual dumping margin must normally be calculated using the same method as that applied during the initial investigation.
(9) Asahi Corporation had not cooperated in the initial Commission investigation. However, Analog and Digital Systeme GmbH had already submitted applications for refund of anti-dumping duties paid for imports of compact disc players exported by Asahi Corporation between July 1989 and December 1990.
The Commission therefore opened an investigation. The applications were accepted in part by Decision 91/302/EEC (1).
(10) The investigation carried out following the initial applications for refund of duties showed that the Asahi Corporation's dumping margin was 5,2 % in the case of imports in 1990.
The imports referred to in the first of the applications examined in connection with this Decision date from November 1990, namely during the period for which a dumping margin of 5,2 % had already been established.
The Commission therefore finds the dumping margin on imports from Asahi Corporation to be 5,2 % in the case of imports referred to in the first application.
(11) In the case of the imports referred to in the other two applications, the Commission was obliged to calculate the normal value of compact disc players produced by Asahi Corporation. It was not possible to calculate normal value on the basis of either comparable prices actually paid or payable in normal commercial transactions concerning the like product intended for the Japanese domestic market or prices charged for exports to a third country, since Asahi Corporation made no such sales of significance. The Commission therefore constructed normal value by adding a reasonable profit margin to the cost of production, in accordance with Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) N° 2423/88.
(12) Since normal value had to be constructed, it seemed logical to make use in the calculation of the production costs for a one-year reference period from 1 March 1989 to 28 February 1990. This period was chosen as being more representative than the six-month periods preceding each import operation, which could have been used had normal value been calculated on the basis of prices on Japan's domestic market.
(13) The profit margin for addition to the cost of production for sales to on OEM (original equipment manufacturer), such as Analog and Digital Systeme GmbH, was set at the same level as that calculated during the investigation concerning the initial applications for refund of duties, the subject of Decision 91/302/EEC. A reasonable level for that margin was calculated using data on the usual profit on OEM sales of compact disc players, gathered during an on-the-spot check on Asahi Corporation premises.
(14) The ex-factory normal value and export prices were always calculated in a way which permitted fair comparison. Anything likely to distort the calculation, such as adjustments for costs related to certain kinds of equipment intended for the manufacture of compact disc players, was discounted.
(15) The Commission considered that the information supplied by the applicant and the exporter regarding the normal value and export prices of the different models was sufficient for it to calculate the actual dumping margin. Dumping margins were calculated by comparing the normal value of each model with the export price of each consignment from Asahi Corporation released for free circulation in the Community during the period under consideration.
(16) The actual dumping margin was found to be lower than that used to determine the rate of duty levied. While Asahi Corporation was found to have dumped exports, it had done so at a level lower than the highest dumping margin established in Regulation (EEC) N° 112/90. The Commission found that the margin of dumping on the imports from Asahi was 3,8 % for those covered by the two applications under consideration.
E. AMOUNT TO BE REIMBURSED
(17) The amount to be reimbursed to the firm Analog and Digital Systeme GmbH, representing the difference between the rate of duty collected and the actual dumping margin, is 26,8 % (32 % - 5,2 %) of the value used by the relevant authorities to calculate the level of anti-dumping duty paid in the case of the imports covered by the application submitted on 6 February 1991 and 28,2 % (32 % - 3,8 %) for those covered by the other applications, submitted on 2 April and 13 May 1991,
The applications for the refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Analog and Digital Systeme GmbH are granted for 26,8 % of the value used by the relevant authorities to calculate the level of anti-dumping duty paid in the case of the imports covered by the application submitted on 6 February 1991 and 28,2 % for those covered by the applications submitted on 2 April and 13 May 1991.
The amount referred to in Article 1 shall be refunded by the German authorities.
This Decision is addressed ot the Federal Republic of Germany and Analog und Digital Systeme GmbH, Am Auernberg 12, D-6242 Kronberg am Taunus, Germany.

of 25 January 2007
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks (1), and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides for the possibility to use the term ‘dry’ for the category of spirit drink ‘London gin’. That spirit drink is not allowed to contain added sweetening exceeding 0,1 gram of sugars per litre. For the categories of spirit drinks ‘gin’ and ‘distilled gin’ there is no established limit for the addition of sweetening. However, when ‘gin’ and ‘distilled gin’ are produced without sugar or with a sugar content not exceeding 0,1 gram per litre, the possibility to use the term ‘dry’ should be extended to those spirit drinks as defined in that Annex.
(2) Hungary has applied for the registration of ‘Újfehértói meggypálinka’ as a geographical indication in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 17(1) of that Regulation. ‘Újfehértói meggypálinka’ is a fruit spirit traditionally produced in Hungary, exclusively from the sour cherry varieties ‘Újfehértói fürtös’ and ‘Debreceni bőtermő’. The main specifications of the technical file for ‘Újfehértói meggypálinka’ were published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2) for the purposes of the objection procedure, pursuant to Article 17(6) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008. As the Commission did not receive any objections in accordance with Article 17(7) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, the name ‘Újfehértói meggypálinka’ should be registered as a geographical indication in Annex III to that Regulation.
(3) The geographical indications ‘Polska Wódka/Polish Vodka’ and ‘Originali lietuviška degtinė/Original Lithuanian vodka’ are registered for product category 15, ‘Vodka’, of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008. However, the technical specifications for those geographical indications also cover flavoured vodka. Therefore, those geographical indications should also be included in product category 31, ‘Flavoured vodka’, of that Annex. In order to inform the consumer of the true nature of the product, the label of that type of vodka should bear the sales denomination ‘flavoured vodka’ or ‘vodka’ with the predominant flavour.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) To facilitate the transition from the rules provided for in Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 to those set out in this Regulation, the marketing of existing stocks should be foreseen until they run out and the use of labels printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation should be allowed until 31 December 2015.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Spirit Drinks,
Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 are amended as follows:
(1) Annex II is amended as follows:
(a) in point 20 ‘Gin’, the following point (d) is added:
‘(d) The term “gin” may be supplemented by the term “dry” if it does not contain added sweetening exceeding 0,1 gram of sugars per litre of the final product.’;
(b) in point 21 ‘Distilled gin’, the following point (d) is added:
‘(d) The term “distilled gin” may be supplemented by the term “dry” if it does not contain added sweetening exceeding 0,1 gram of sugars per litre of the final product.’;
(2) Annex III is amended as follows:
(a) in product category 9 ‘Fruit spirit’, the following entry is added:
‘Újfehértói meggypálinka Hungary’
(b) in product category 31 ‘Flavoured vodka’, the following entries are added:
‘Polska Wódka/Polish Vodka (3) Poland
Spirit drinks not meeting the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 as amended by Article 1 of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market until stocks run out.
Labels printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be used until 31 December 2015.

fixing the export refunds on rice and broken rice and suspending the issue of export licences
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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(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 8800 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 8(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003(4) 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 8800 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 9 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION 2014/73/CFSP
of 10 February 2014
on a European Union military operation in the Central African Republic (EUFOR RCA)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 42(4) and 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1) In its Resolution 2127 (2013) on the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR), adopted on 5 December 2013, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) expressed deep concern about the continuing deterioration of the security situation and the multiple and increasing violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in the CAR. Furthermore, it authorised the deployment of the African-led International Support Mission in the CAR (AFISM-CAR) for a period of twelve months and authorized the deployment of French forces in the CAR, for a temporary period, to take all necessary measures to support AFISM-CAR in the discharge of its mandate.
(2) Following the Council conclusions of 21 October 2013 and of 16 December 2013, the European Council, in its conclusions of 20 December 2013, expressed its concern about the continuously deteriorating crisis in the CAR and its severe humanitarian and human rights consequences. It welcomed the French military intervention in support of the African forces to help restore security as well as the consistent commitment of its African partners to stabilize the situation. As part of a comprehensive approach, it confirmed the Union's willingness to examine the use of relevant instruments to contribute towards the efforts under way to stabilise the country, including under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), in both its military and civilian dimensions. It invited the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR) to present a proposal in this regard for a decision at the Council in January 2014.
(3) On 20 January 2014, the Council approved a Crisis Management Concept for a military bridging CSDP operation in the CAR, (hereinafter referred to as ‘EUFOR RCA’), subject to a UNSC Resolution adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The Council stressed the importance of close cooperation with its partners, in particular the UN, the African Union (AU) and the CAR authorities, as well as with the French Operation Sangaris.
(4) On 28 January 2014, the UNSC adopted Resolution 2134 (2014) authorising the establishment of an EU operation, EUFOR RCA.
(5) On 23 January 2014, the Secretariat General of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) welcomed the establishment of an EU operation in the CAR.
(6) On 24 January 2014, in a letter addressed to the HR, the interim President of the CAR welcomed the EU operation authorized by UNSC Resolution 2134 (2014).
(7) EUFOR RCA should deploy as rapidly as possible to Full Operating Capability (FOC) in order to contribute to the stabilisation of the situation. It should conduct mandated tasks with a view to a handover to AFISM-CAR within four to six months from achieving FOC.
(8) In accordance with Article 38 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), the Political and Security Committee (PSC) is to exercise, under the responsibility of the Council and of the HR, political control over the crisis management operation, provide it with strategic direction and take the relevant decisions in that regard.
(9) It is necessary to negotiate and conclude international agreements relating to the status of Union units and personnel and to the participation of third States in Union operations.
(10) Pursuant to Article 41(2) TEU and in accordance with Council Decision 2011/871/CFSP (1), the operational expenditure arising from this Decision, which has military or defence implications, is to be borne by the Member States.
(11) In accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark does not participate in the elaboration and implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which have defence implications. Consequently, Denmark is not participating in the adoption of this Decision, is neither bound by it nor subject to its application and does not participate in the financing of this operation,
Mission
1. The Union shall conduct a military bridging operation in the CAR, EUFOR RCA, to contribute to the provision of a safe and secure environment, with a handover to the African-led International Support Mission in the CAR (AFISM-CAR) within four to six months of Full Operating Capability, in accordance with the mandate set out in UNSC Resolution 2134 (2014) and concentrating its action in the Bangui area.
2. EUFOR RCA shall operate in accordance with the political, strategic, politico-military objectives set out in the Crisis Management Concept approved by the Council on 20 January 2014.

Council Directive 88/220/EEC of 22 March 1988 amending, as regards the investment policies of certain UCITS, Directive 85/611/EEC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS)
|
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 22 March 1988
amending, as regards the investment policies of certain UCITS, Directive 85/611/EEC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS)
(88/220/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the third sentence of Article 57 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 22 (1) and (2) of Directive 85/611/EEC (4) limits the investment of UCITS assets in transferable securities from the same issuer to 5 %, a limit which may, if required, be increased to 10 %;
Whereas that limit poses special problems for UCITS established in Denmark in cases where they wish to invest an appreciable proportion of their assets on the domestic bond market, since that market is dominated by mortgage credit bonds and the number of institutions issuing such bonds is very small;
Whereas those mortgage credit bonds are subject in Denmark to special rules and supervision designed to protect holders and are treated under Danish legislation as equivalent to bonds issued or guaranteed by the State;
Whereas Article 22 (3) of Directive 85/611/EEC derogates from paragraphs 1 and 2 of that Article in the case of bonds issued or guaranteed by a Member State and authorizes UCITS to invest in particular up to 35 % of their assets in such bonds;
Whereas a similar derogation, but of a more limited extent is justified with regard to private sector bonds which, even in the absence of a State guarantee, nevertheless offer special guarantees to the investor under the specific rules applicable thereto; whereas it is necessary therefore to extend such a derogation to the totality of such bonds which fulfil jointly fixed criteria, while leaving it to the Member States to draw up the list of bonds to which they intend, where appropriate, to grant a derogation, and providing for a procedure for informing the other Member States identical to that provided for in Article 20 of Directive 85/611/EEC,
In Article 22 of Directive 85/611/EEC, the following paragraphs shall be added:
'4. Member States may raise the limit laid down in paragraph 1 to a maximum of 25 % in the case of certain bonds when these are issued by a credit institution which has its registered office in a Member State and is subject by law to special public supervision designed to protect bond-holders. In particular, sums deriving from the issue of these bonds
must be invested in conformity with the law in assets which, during the whole period of validity of the bonds, are capable of covering claims attaching to the bonds and which, in the event of failure of the issuer, would be used on a priority basis for the reimbursement of the principal and payment of the accrued interest.
When a UCITS invests more than 5 % of its assets in the bonds referred to in the first subparagraph and issued by one issuer, the total value of these investments may not exceed 80 % of the value of the asserts of the UCITS.
As laid down in Article 20 (1), Member States shall send the Commission a list of the aforementioned categories of bonds together with the categories of issuers authorized, in accordance with the laws and supervisory arrangements mentioned in the first subparagraph, to issue bonds complying with the criteria set out above. A notice specifying the status of the guarantees offered shall be attached to these lists. The procedure laid down in Article 20 (2) shall apply.
5. The transferable securities referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 shall not be taken into account for the purpose of applying the limit of 40 % referred to in paragraph 2.
The limits provided for in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 may not be combined, and thus investments in transferable securities issued by the same body carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall under no circumstances exceed in total 35 % of the assets of an UCITS.'
The Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive by the same dates as those provided for in Directive 85/611/EEC. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

The designation of origin, where this indicates the European Community or a Member State, in cases other than those referred to in paragraph 1, shall correspond to the geographical area in which the olives concerned or the oil extracted from the olives were obtained. For the purposes of this Regulation, an extra virgin or a virgin olive oil shall be deemed to have been obtained in the geographical area, within the meaning of this subparagraph, where the mill in which the oil was extracted from the olives is located.
In the case of olives harvested in a Member State or a third country different from the geographical area in which the oil from those olives was obtained, the designation of origin shall indicate both the area where the olives were harvested and the area where the oil was obtained, using the following wording: '(Extra) virgin olive oil obtained in (name of the European Community or of the member State concerned) from olives harvested in (name of the European Community, the Member State or the country concerned)'.
3. In the case of blends of 'extra virgin olive oils' or 'virgin olive oils' in which more than 75 % originates, for the purposes of the first subparagraph of paragraph 2, in the same Member State or in the Community, the main origin may be designated provided that it is followed by the indication 'section of (extra) virgin olive oils more than (75 %) of which originated in ... (designation of origin)'."
3. In Article 2, paragraph 3 becomes paragraph 4.
4. In Article 4(2), the following subparagraph is added: "Establishments approved pursuant to this Regulation which meet the approval conditions laid down for the 2000/01 marketing year may continue to be regarded as approved."
5. In Article 7, "31 October 2001" is replaced by "30 June 2002".

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (2), and in particular Article 80(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Directive 91/414/EEC shall continue to apply to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC before 14 June 2011.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in April 2008 Austria received an application from bio-ferm GmbH for the inclusion of the active substance Aureobasidium pullulans in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2008/953/EC (3) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.
(3) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the conditions relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection products in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.
(4) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 16 December 2009.
(5) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on a possible approval in accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 for Aureobasidium pullulans will have been completed within 24 months.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing Aureobasidium pullulans for a period ending on 31 August 2014 at the latest.
This Decision shall expire on 31 August 2014.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

24.12.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 347/14
COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1291/2009
of 18 December 2009
concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 of 30 November 2009 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Community (1), and in particular Articles 5(4), 6(5) and 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 of 12 July 1982 concerning the selection of returning holdings for the purpose of determining incomes of agricultural holdings (2) established the threshold for the economic size of holdings and the number of returning holdings for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 of 8 December 2008 establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings (3) introduced a new concept of ‘economic size’, which is now expressed in euros, and amended some other criteria of the typology.
(3) As a consequence of the amendment made by Council Regulation (EC) No 1791/2006 (4), the divisions of Bulgaria and Romania need to be taken into account. Some additional changes to Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 need to be made for more precision. Therefore, in the interests of clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.
(4) Returning holdings must be selected in a uniform manner in each division and to that end detailed rules should be laid down to implement the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009.
(5) The holdings to be studied in connection with the farm accountancy data network fall within the field of survey of the structure surveys and of Community or national censuses of agricultural holdings.
(6) The data available for the purposes of drawing up the plan for the selection of holdings (selection plan) for each accounting year and the difference in the agricultural situation as between the different Member States require that thresholds of economic size which vary by Member State, and even in some cases by division, be adopted.
(7) Experience shows that operation of the data network is facilitated if the number of returning holdings selected per division is allowed to differ by up to 20 % in either direction provided that this does not entail a reduction in the total number of returning holdings per Member State.
(8) As the financial management of such a measure is difficult, a limitation per Member State as to the total number of duly completed farm returns eligible for Community financing is introduced in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 of 13 July 1983 on certain detailed implementing rules concerning the keeping of accounts for the purpose of determining the incomes of agricultural holdings (5). For reasons of clarity and coherence, this should be reflected in this Regulation. Flexibility in the number of returning holdings per division should be allowed, as long as the total number of the returning holdings of the Member State concerned is respected.
(9) The selection plan should include a minimum number of elements enabling its validity in relation to the objectives of the farm accountancy data network to be assessed.
(10) For the purpose of the selection plan, the field of survey should be stratified according to the divisions listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009 and according to the types of farming and economic size classes defined in Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008.
(11) The selection plan should be drawn up prior to the beginning of the corresponding accounting year so that it can be approved before being used for the selection of returning holdings. For the accounting year 2010, however, the Member States need a longer period to draw up the selection plan, because all the necessary reference sources are not available long enough beforehand. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide for a different time-limit for the notification of the selection plan for that accounting year.
(12) Since Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 applies from the accounting year 2010, this Regulation should apply as from the same year.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,

(notified under document number C(2006) 4086)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2006/615/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 of 17 December 2003 establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Directives 92/102/EEC and 64/432/EEC (1), and in particular Article 4(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 lays down rules for the establishment of systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals. It provides that those animals on a holding are to be identified within the time limits laid down in that Regulation.
(2) In addition, Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 provides that ovine and caprine animals are to be identified by a first and second means of identification set out in that Regulation. It lays down that the second means of identification may be replaced until 1 January 2008 by a system which complies with that Regulation and is approved by the Commission, except in the case of animals involved in intra-Community trade.
(3) Therefore, ovine and caprine animals involved in intra-Community trade must fully comply with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004. Article 4(2)(b) of that Regulation provides that such animals must be identified by a second means of identification approved by the competent authority and conforming to the technical characteristics set out in the Section A.4 of the Annex to the Regulation.
(4) Commission Decision 2005/617/EC of 17 August 2005 temporarily recognising the systems for identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, according to Article 4(2)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 (2) granted provisional approval for those systems until 30 April 2006. That Decision provided for that approval for the two systems to be reviewed in the light of inspections carried out by 31 January 2006.
(5) In cooperation with the United Kingdom, the Commission carried out on-the-spot inspections to evaluate the operation of those systems and to verify the implementation of the commitments given by the United Kingdom concerning those systems. The final report and an acceptable action plan from the United Kingdom are now available and were discussed in the framework of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.
(6) The United Kingdom has undertaken to address the concerns raised in the on-the-spot inspections to evaluate the operation of those systems, and in particular to timely complete the proposed action plan by taking all the necessary measures reinforcing the systems to ensure compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 before 31 December 2006.
(7) The systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland should therefore be approved for a new temporary period in order to permit the replacement of the second means of identification for ovine and caprine animals by that system, except in the case of animals involved in intra-Community trade.
(8) In order to avoid any disrutption of trade, the temporary approval of systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be retroactive as from 30 April 2006 to cover the whole period of implementation of the systems.
(9) The competent authority should carry out the appropriate on–the-spot checks in order to verify the proper implementation of the systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals provided for in Article 4(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, implemented by the United Kingdom in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are hereby approved for the period from 1 May 2006 to 30 June 2007.
Without prejudice to provisions to be laid down in accordance with Article 10(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 the United Kingdom shall ensure that appropriate on-the-spot checks are carried out each year by the competent authority to verify compliance by keepers with the requirements of the systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals, as referred to in Article 1.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on the inland transport of dangerous goods (1), and in particular Article 6(2) and Article 6(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I, Section I.3, Annex II, Section II.3 and Annex III, Section III.3 to Directive 2008/68/EC contain lists of national derogations, allowing specific national circumstances to be taken into account. Those lists should be updated to include new national derogations.
(2) For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to replace those Sections in their entirety.
(3) Directive 2008/68/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee on the transport of dangerous goods set up by Directive 2008/68/EC,
The Member States listed in the Annex to this Decision are authorised to implement the derogations set out therein regarding the transport of dangerous goods within their territory.
These derogations shall be applied without discrimination.
Annex I, Section I.3, Annex II, Section II.3 and Annex III, Section III.3 to Directive 2008/68/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 304/2006
of 20 February 2006
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 24,855 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 February 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2021/84
of 12 July 1984
making the importation of certain textile products originating in Turkey subject to quantitative limitation
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/71 of 21 June 1971 (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee established by Article 3 of that Regulation,
Whereas imports of textile products on the Community market have during recent years given rise to market disturbance and are causing serious damage to Community producers resulting in the closure of factories and considerable loss of employment;
Whereas, in consequence of this situation, imports of certain textile products originating in the majority of low-cost supplier countries are at present subject to a Community system of authorization and quantitative limitation;
Whereas imports into France, Italy and the United Kingdom of woven fabrics of cotton (category 2) originating in Turkey in the first four months of 1984 have already reached 55 %, 56 % and 97 % respectively of 1983 imports;
Whereas imports into France of shirts (category 8) originating in Turkey in the first four months of 1984 have already reached 59 % of 1983 imports;
Whereas imports into the United Kingdom of terry-towelling (category 9) originating in Turkey in the first five months of 1984 have already reached 54 % of 1983 imports;
Whereas imports into Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom of bed linen (category 20) originating in Turkey in the first four months of 1984 have already reached 60 %, 77 % and 39 % of 1983 imports respectively;
Whereas by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1259/84 (2), the Community adopted safeguard measures providing for the temporary suspension of the issuing of import documents for an initial period until 15 July 1984, of the issue of import documents for textile products falling within categories 2, 8, 9 and 20;
Whereas the extremely rapid increase in recent months of imports into Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom of woven fabrics of cotton, shirts, terry-towelling and bed linen originating in Turkey has helped to exacerbate the cumulative disturbance of these markets and that, in previous years the Community was obliged to submit these imports to Community or regional quantitative restrictions;
Whereas the rate of imports into the Community remains higher than that which has, in previous years, justified the application of safeguard measures for the same categories;
Whereas the volume of this increase makes it necessary to take immediate action aimed at avoiding irreparable damage to Community producers; whereas it therefore justifies the adoption, pursuant to Article 60 of the Additional Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey, of the safeguard measures needed to overcome these difficulties,
1. The importation into France, Italy and the United Kingdom of the textile products of category 2 listed in the Annex originating in Turkey, shall be subject, until 31 December 1984 to the quantitative limits fixed therein.
2. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to products which have been placed on board and are in the course of shipment to France, Italy and the United Kingdom before the entry into force of this Regulation.
1. The importation into France of the textile products of category 8 listed in the Annex originating in Turkey shall be subject, until 31 December 1984, to the quantitative limits fixed therein.
2. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to products which have been placed on board and are in the course of shipment to France before the entry into force of this Regulation.
1. The importation into the United Kingdom of the textile products, category 9, listed in the Annex originating in Turkey shall be subject, until 31 December 1984 to the quantitative limits fixed therein.
2. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to products which have been placed on
board and are in the course of shipment to the United Kingdom before the entry into force of this Regulation.
1. The importation into Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom of the textile products of category 20 listed in the Annex originating in Turkey shall be subject, until 31 December 1984 to the quantitative limits fixed therein.
2. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall not apply to products which have been placed on board and are in the course of shipment to Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom before the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until 31 December 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 7 December 2009
authorising the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to apply a measure derogating from Article 167 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2009/938/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/112/EC (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Kingdom of Sweden (hereinafter ‘Sweden’) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (hereinafter ‘the United Kingdom’) were authorised, by Council Decision 2007/133/EC (2), by derogation from Article 167 of Directive 2006/112/EC, to postpone the right of deduction of value added tax (VAT) until it has been paid to the supplier of goods or of services, in respect of taxable persons applying an optional scheme under which, in accordance with Article 66(b) of that Directive, VAT on their supplies of goods and of services becomes chargeable on receipt of payment (referred to as the cash accounting scheme). In order to qualify for this scheme, their annual turnover must not exceed SEK 3 000 000 for Sweden and GBP 1 350 000 for the United Kingdom.
(2) Sweden and the United Kingdom have requested authorisation to extend this special derogating measure by letters registered by the Commission’s Secretariat-General on 3 March 2009 for Sweden and on 15 January 2009 for the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has also asked that the ceiling for the annual turnover for the scheme be raised to GBP 1 500 000.
(3) In accordance with Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, by letters of 9 July 2009, the Commission informed the other Member States of the request made by Sweden and the United Kingdom and, by letters of 13 July 2009 the Commission notified Sweden and the United Kingdom that it had all the information it considered necessary for appraisal of the request.
(4) The cash accounting scheme is a simplified optional scheme intended for small undertakings which do not qualify for tax exemption. It enables such taxable persons to apply a simple rule based on the date of payment for their input and output transactions, to determine at what point they must exercise their right to deduct VAT and pay the tax to the revenue authorities. This scheme thus constitutes for those taxable persons a simplification measure which can, furthermore, create a cash-flow advantage for them.
(5) On 28 January 2009, the Commission presented a directive aimed at amending Directive 2006/112/EC as regards the rules on invoicing and enabling the Member States to postpone the right to deduct VAT arising until it has been paid to the supplier in respect of taxable persons with an annual turnover not exceeding a ceiling, which could be fixed by Member States at up to EUR 2 000 000, and accordingly entitled to use an optional scheme under which the VAT to which their transactions are liable does not become chargeable until they have received the payment.
(6) The special derogating measure does not affect the amount of VAT revenue collected by Sweden or the United Kingdom at the final consumption stage and has no impact on the European Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 167 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Sweden and the United Kingdom are authorised to postpone the right of deduction of value added tax (VAT) in respect of taxable persons, as defined in the second paragraph, until it has been paid to the supplier of goods or of services.
The taxable persons concerned must have opted for a scheme under which the VAT on their supplies of goods and of services becomes chargeable on receipt of the payment. Under the scheme, their annual turnover must not exceed SEK 3 000 000 for Sweden and GBP 1 500 000 for the United Kingdom.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2010 until the date of entry into force of a directive authorising the Member States to postpone the right of deduction of VAT until it has been paid to the supplier of goods or of services in respect of taxable persons whose annual turnover does not exceed a certain ceiling and who therefore benefit from an optional scheme according to which the tax on their supplies of goods and of services becomes chargeable when they have received the payment. In any event, this Decision shall apply until 31 December 2012 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4047/89 of 19 December 1989 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1990 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), provides for cod, haddock, whiting, plaice, common sole, hake, anglerfish and sprat quotas for 1990;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas the quotas of cod in the waters and of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, VIII, IX and X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone), of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c and d (EC zone), of whiting in the waters of ICES divisions III a and VII a and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, of plaice in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII h, j, k, of sole in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c and d (EC zone) and VII a, and VII h, j, k and VIII a, b, of hake in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, XII and XIV, of anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, XII, XIV and VII and of sprat in the waters of ICES division VII d and e allocated to the Netherlands for 1990 have been exhausted by exchanges of quotas; whereas the Netherlands have prohibited fishing for these stocks as from 1 January 1990; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
The quotas of cod in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, VIII, IX and X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone), of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c and d (EC zone), of whiting in the waters of ICES divisions III a and VII a and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, of plaice in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII h, j, k, of sole in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c and d (EC zone) and VII a, and VII h, j, k and VIII a, b, of hake in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, XII and XIV, of anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, XII, XIV and VII and of sprat in the waters of ICES division VII d and e allocated to the Netherlands for 1990 are deemed to be exhausted.
Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, VIII, IX and X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone), of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c and d (EC zone), for whiting in the waters of ICES divisions III a and VII a and VII b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j and k, for plaice in the waters of ICES divisions III a Skagerrak and VII a, and VII h, j, and k, of sole in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c and d (EC zone) and VII a, and VII h, j, and k and VIII a, and b, for hake in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII, XII and XIV, for anglerfish in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI, XII, XIV and VII and for sprat in the waters of ICES division VII d and e by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stocks captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 683/85 defined the criteria according to which the factors which were used to fix the previous representative market price may be considered as a marked change; whereas it follows from the application of these criteria that the representative market price and the threshold price for olive oil currently in force should be amended; whereas, therefore, the percentages deducted in accordance with Article 11 (5) and (6) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC should be amended in such a way as to maintain the overall amount that results from the application of the previously determined deductions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

extending the period of application of the measures in Decision 2002/148/EC concluding consultations with Zimbabwe under Article 96 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement
(2007/127/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 300(2) thereof,

on proof of completion of customs formalities for the import of sugar into third countries as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 16(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (2) provides that export refunds in the sugar sector may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(2) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 of 28 June 2006 on a standing invitation to tender to determine refunds on exports of white sugar for the 2006/07 marketing year (3) provides for such differentiation by excluding certain destinations.
(3) Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 provides that where the rate of refund varies according to destination, refunds are to be paid subject to the additional conditions laid down under Articles 15 and 16 of that Regulation.
(4) Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 provides that the products must have been imported in their unaltered state into the third country or one of the third countries for which the refund applies.
(5) Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 lists the various documents that may constitute proof of the completion of customs formalities in a third country where the refund rate is differentiated according to destination. Under that Article the Commission may decide, in certain specific cases to be determined, that the proof referred to in that Article may be deemed to be furnished by a specific document or in any other way.
(6) In the sugar sector export operations are normally governed by contracts defined as fob on the London futures market. As a result, purchasers accept at that fob stage all the contractual obligations, including proof of completion of customs formalities, without being the direct beneficiaries of the refund to which that proof confers the right. Obtaining that proof for all quantities exported may entail considerable administrative difficulties in certain countries, which may substantially delay or prevent payment of the refund for all the quantities actually exported.
(7) In order to limit the impact on the equilibrium of the sugar market, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2255/2004 of 27 December 2004 on proof of completion of customs formalities for the import of sugar into third countries as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (4) defined the alternative proofs offering guarantees enabling the product to be deemed to have been imported into a third country.
(8) Since the administrative difficulties and their impact on the market still persist after the deadline of 31 December 2006, when Regulation (EC) No 2255/2004 ceased to apply, the alternative proofs of destination should be defined again for exports effected from 1 January 2007 and consequently this Regulation should apply retroactively.
(9) This being a derogation, its period of application should be restricted.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
In the case of exports effected in accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, products shall be deemed to have been imported into a third country on presentation of the following three documents:
(a) a copy of the transport document;
(b) a declaration that the product has been unloaded, drawn up by an official authority of the third country in question, by the official authorities of a Member State established in the country of destination, or by an international supervisory agency approved under Articles 16a to 16f of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, certifying that the product has left the unloading site or at least that, to the knowledge of the authority or agency issuing the declaration, the product has not subsequently been reloaded with a view to being re-exported;
(c) a bank document issued by approved intermediaries established in the Community certifying that payment corresponding to the export in question has been credited to the account of the exporter opened with them, or proof of payment.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 479/92 of 25 February 1992 on the application of Article 85(3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices between liner shipping companies (consortia)(1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Having published a draft of this Regulation(2),
After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions in Maritime Transport,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 479/92 empowers the Commission to apply Article 81(3) of the Treaty by regulation to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices between shipping companies (consortia) relating to the joint operation of liner transport services.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 823/2000(3) grants a general exemption to liner shipping consortia from the prohibition contained in Article 81(1) of the Treaty, subject to certain conditions and obligations.
(3) One of the conditions concerns the market share held by the consortium on each market upon which it operates. Any consortium with a market share below 30 % (if the consortium operates within a conference) or 35 % (if the consortium operates outside a conference) is automatically exempt if it fulfils the other conditions of the Regulation. A consortium with a market share above that ceiling but below 50 % may still benefit from the block exemption if the agreement is notified to the Commission and the Commission does not oppose the exemption within six months.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 introduces a directly applicable exception system in which the competition authorities and the courts of the Member States have the power to apply Article 81(3) of the Treaty, in addition to Article 81(1) and Article 82. Undertakings no longer have the obligation or option to notify agreements to the Commission with a view to obtaining an exemption decision. Under the new system, agreements that fulfil the conditions of Article 81(3) are legally valid and enforceable without the adoption of an administrative decision. Undertakings will be able to invoke the exception from the prohibition on agreements which restrict competition laid out in Article 81(3) as a defence in all proceedings.
(5) The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 823/2000 should be aligned with those of Regulation (EEC) No 479/92 and Council Regulation (EC) No 4056/86 of 22 December 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty to maritime transport(4). In particular the opposition procedure should be abolished and references to notification of consortia deleted. Transitional provisions should be introduced in respect of notifications already made under the opposition procedure. It is also necessary to introduce references to the new powers of the national competition authorities.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 823/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 823/2000 is amended as follows:
1. Article 7 is deleted.
2. Article 9 is amended as follows:

Whereas at present the application of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 is limited to 29 February 1992; whereas, however, the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention, signed at LomĂŠ on 15 December 1989, entered into force on 1 September 1991 (2) and applies until 29 February 2000; whereas, as a result, the application of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 should be extended to the latter date as far as products originating in the ACP States are concerned;
Whereas, moreover, by Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories (OCT) with the European Economic Community (3), the Community adopted special arrangements for products originating in the OCT; whereas these new arrangements which entered into force on 20 September 1991 provide that all products originating in the OCT shall be totally exempt from customs duties and charges having equivalent effect when imported into the Community; whereas, as a result, as far as the OCT are concerned, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 have become obsolete; whereas, as a result, Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 should be extended exclusively for products originating in the ACP States,
Articles 1 to 25 and 27 to 30 (1) and (2), as well as Article 31 and Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 715/90, are extended until 29 February 2000, in so far as agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in ACP States are concerned.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2629/97 (2) lays down detailed rules regarding eartags, holding registers and passports as part of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals;
Whereas as far as the code for the identification of bovine animals is concerned, it seems appropriate to take into account the difficulties pointed out by the Italian authorities and to permit those authorities to use a maximum of three supplementary characters; whereas it is important to stipulate that those supplementary characters may not form part of the numeric code;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2629/97 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,
The following paragraph 4 is added to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2629/97:
'4. In addition to the information provided for in paragraph 1, the Italian central competent authority may use a maximum of three supplementary characters. Those characters shall not form part of the numeric code provided for by point (b) of paragraph 2.`

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1215/1999
of 10 June 1999
amending Regulation No 19/65/EEC on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices(1)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 83 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(4),
(1) Whereas by Regulation No 19/65/EEC(5), the Council empowered the Commission, without prejudice to the application of Council Regulation No 17: first Regulation implementing Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty(6), and in accordance with Article 81(3) of the Treaty, to adopt regulations declaring that Article 81(1) does not apply to certain categories of agreements, and in particular to categories of agreements to which only two undertakings are party and whereby one party agrees with the other to supply only to that other certain goods for resale within a defined area of the common market, or whereby one party agrees with the other to purchase only from that other certain goods for resale, or whereby the two undertakings enter into into such obligations with each other in respect of exclusive supply and purchase for resale;
(2) Whereas, pursuant to Regulation No 19/65/EEC, the Commission has in particular adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1983/83 of 22 June 1983 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to categories of exclusive distribution agreements(7), Regulation (EEC) No 1984/83 of 22 June 1983 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to categories of exclusive purchasing agreements(8) and Regulation (EEC) No 4087/88 of 30 November 1988 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty to categories of franchise agreements(9) (exemption regulations);
(3) Whereas on 22 January 1997 the Commission published a Green Paper on Vertical Restraints in EC Competition Policy, which generated a wide-ranging public debate on the application of Article 81(1) and (3) of the Treaty to vertical agreements or concerted practices;
(4) Whereas the response to the Green Paper from the Member States, the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and interested parties has been generally in favour of reform of Community competition policy on vertical agreements; whereas the block exemption regulations already referred to should accordingly be revised;
(5) Whereas any such reform must meet the two requirements of ensuring effective protection of competition and providing adequate legal certainty for firms; whereas the pursuit of those objectives should take account of the need as far as possible to simplify administrative supervision and the legislative framework; whereas at the same level of market power vertical restraints are generally considered less harmful to competition than horizontal restraints;
(6) Whereas the exemption regulations referred to do not confine themselves to defining the categories of agreements to which they apply and to specifying the restrictions or clauses which are not to be contained in the agreements, but they also list the exempted clauses; whereas this legislative approach to contractual relations is generally perceived to be over rigid in an economic context where distribution structures and techniques are rapidly changing;
(7) Whereas the said exemption regulations cover only those categories of bilateral exclusive agreements entered into with a view to resale which are concerned with the exclusive distribution or purchase of goods, or both, or which include restrictions imposed in relation to the assignment or use of industrial property rights; whereas they exclude from their scope, inter alia, vertical agreements between more thn two undertakings, selective distribution agreements, agreements concerning services, and agreements concerning the supply or purchase, or both, of goods or services intended for processing or incorporation; whereas a substantial number of vertical agreements consequently cannot qualify for exemption under Article 81(3) of the Treaty until they have been examined individually by the Commission, which may reduce the legal certainty available to the undertakings concerned and make administrative supervision unnecessarily burdensome;
(8) Whereas the debate which followed the publication of the Green Paper also drew attention to the fact that in determining the manner in which Article 81(1) and (3) are to apply proper account needs to be taken of the economic effects of vertical agreements; whereas any economic criteria limiting the scope of a block exemption by reason of the anticompetitive effects which an agreement may produce should take into account the share of the relevant market accounted for by the undertaking concerned;
(9) Whereas, therefore, the Commission should be empowered to replace the existing legislation with legislation which is simpler, more flexible and better targeted, and which may cover all types of vertical agreements; whereas if the scope of the exemption regulation covering such agreements is to be broadened in this way, there should be criteria such as market-share thresholds to specify the circumstances where, in view of the possible economic effects of the agreements, the regulation ceases to be applicable; whereas the setting of such market share thresholds should take account of the market power of the undertaking concerned; whereas certain severe anticompetitive vertical restraints like minium and fixed resale prices and certain types of territorial protection should be excluded from the application of the regulation irrespective of the market share of the undertaking concerned;
(10) Whereas the powers conferred on the Commission by Regulation No 19/65/EEC do not allow it to conduct a reform of the rules currently in force which would cover all types of vertical agreements; whereas the scope of Article 1(1)(a) and (2)(b) thereof should consequently be broadened to cover all agreements caught by Article 81(1) of the Treaty which are entered into by two or more undertakings, each operating, for the purposes of the agreement, at a different level of the production or distribution chain and which relate to the conditions under which the parties may purchase, sell or resell certain goods or services (vertical agreements), including exclusive distribution agreements, exclusive purchasing agreements, franchising agreements and selective distribution agreements, or any combination of these, and certain non-reciprocal vertical agreements entered into between competing undertakings, as well as vertical agreements between an association of small and medium-sized retailers and its members or between such an association and its suppliers;
(11) Whereas the exemption regulations referred to empower the Commission, in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation No 19/65/EEC, to withdraw the benefit of application of those regulations wherever, in a particular case, an agreement or a network of similar agreements has certain effects which are incompatible with the conditions laid down in Article 81(3); whereas in order to ensure effective supervision of markets and greater decentralisation in the application of the Community competition rules, it is appropriate to provide that where the effects of such an agreement are felt in the territory of a Member State, or in a part thereof, which has all the characteristics of a distinct market the competent authority in that Member State may withdraw the benefit of the block exemption in its territory and adopt a decision aime at eliminating those effects; whereas the said Article 7 should accordingly be supplemented so as to specify the circumstances in which the competent authorities in the Member States can withdraw the benefit of application of the block-exemption regulation;
(12) Whereas, in order to guarantee an effective control of the effects arising in a given market from the existence of parallel networks of similar agreements, a block-exemption regulation may establish the conditions under which those networks of agreements may be excluded from its application by means of regulation; whereas such conditions may be based on criteria such as the market coverage rate of these networks of agreements; whereas the Commission will accordingly be empowered to establish by means of regulation that in a given market the relevant agreements fulfil the said conditions; whereas in such a case, the Commission will have to fix a transitional period of not less than six months, at the expiry of which the block exemption will cease to be applicable to the relevant agreements on that market; whereas this regulation establishing the non-application of the block-exemption regulation for the relevant agreements on a particular market has as effect the application of Article 81 of the Treaty by individual examination; whereas the Commission will consult the Advisory Committee before the adoption of such a regulation and, on request of a Member State, also before the publication of the draft regulation,
Regulation No 19/65/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following: "1. Without prejudice to the application of Regulation No 17 and in accordance with Article 81(3) of the Treaty the Commission may by regulation declare that Article 81(1) shall not apply to:
(a) categories of agreements which are entered into by two or more undertakings, each operating, for the purposes of the agreement, at a different level of the production or distribution chain, and which relate to the conditions under which the parties may purchase, sell or resell certain goods or services,
(b) categories of agreements to which only two undertakings are party and which include restrictions imposed in relation to the acquisition or use of industrial property rights, in particular of patents, utility models, designs or trade marks, or to the rights arising out of contracts for assignment of, or the right to use, a method of manufacture or knowledge relating to the use or to the application of indutrial processes";
(b) in paragraph 2(b), the words "the clauses which must be contained in the agreements, or" shall be deleted;

2. The following Article shall be inserted: "Article 1a
A regulation pursuant to Article 1 may stipulate the conditions which may lead to the exclusion from its application of certain parallel networks of similar agreements or concerted practices operating on particular market; when these circumstances are fulfilled the Commission may establish this by means of regulation and fix a period at the expiry of which the Regulation pursuant to Article 1 would no longer be applicable in respect of the relevant agreements or concerted practices on that market; such period must not be shorter than six months".

When in any particular case agreements or concerted practices to which a regulation adopted pursuant to Article 1 applies have certain effects which are incompatible with the conditions laid down in Article 81(3) of the Treaty in the territory of a Member State, or in part thereof, which has all the characteristics of a distinct market, the competent authority in that Member State may on its own initiative or at the request of the Commission or of natural or legal persons claiming a legitimate interest withdraw the benefit of application of that regulation".

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 199/2004
of 5 February 2004
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(2), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 February 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 539/2007 of 15 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the egg sector and for egg albumin (3), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 539/2007 opened tariff quotas for imports of egg products and egg albumin.
(2) The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of June 2011 for the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2011 relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested,
The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged under Regulation (EC) No 539/2007 for the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2011 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex hereto.

fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3488/89 of 21 November 1989 laying down the method of decision for certain provisions laid down for agricultural products in the framework of the Mediterranean agreements (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87 of 18 May 1987 concerning certain adjustments to the arrangements applied to the Canary Islands (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the agreements concluded with various Mediterranean third countries, the Community may decide to alter the entry price for certain fruit and vegetables originating in such countries, taking account of the annual reviews of trade flows by product and country pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 451/89 of 20 February 1989 concerning the procedure to be applied to certain agricultural products originating in various Mediterranean third countries (3);
Whereas, in accordance with Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87, the Commission is to decide whether the entry price of tomatoes originating in the Canary Islands should be altered in 1990 in the light of relevant factors regarding the objective of maintaining traditional patterns of export trade in the context of enlargement of the Community;
Whereas an examination of the prospects for export flows from Morocco and the Canary Islands in the light of the overall trend on the Community market points to the need to alter the entry price for tomatoes;
Whereas the alteration of the entry price must relate to the amount to be deducted for customs duties from the representative prices recorded in the Community for the calculation of the entry price of tomatoes as provided for in Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (5); whereas a reduction of one sixth is likely to achieve this objective; whereas such a reduction must apply from 1 April 1990 to the end of May 1990 for Moroccan tomatoes and during the period of application of the reference price system for tomatoes from the Canary Islands within the limit of specified quantities, in accordance with the Mediterranean agreements and Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the system is effective, the trend in imports of such products must be monitored; whereas imports of Moroccan tomatoes should therefore be subject to Community surveillance, imports of tomatoes from the Canary Islands being subject to statistical monitoring in the framework of the management of the tariff quota;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the purposes of calculating the entry price provided for in Article 24 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 for fresh tomatoes originating in Morocco and the Canary Islands, the amount to be deducted for customs duties from the representative prices recorded shall be reduced by one sixth during the periods and within the limit of the quantities specified in the Annex hereto.
1. Imports of tomatoes originating in Morocco shall be subject to Community surveillance.
2. Quantities shall be set against the ceilings as and when the products have been released for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be set against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is presented before the date from which these preferential arrangements no longer apply.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports set against it in the manner specified in the first and second subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the time limits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission shall inform the Member States of the date from which these preferential arrangements cease to apply.
4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities set against a ceiling for periods of 10 days, to be forwarded within five days from the end of each 10-day period.
5. The Commission may take the requisite administrative measures to adapt the administrative procedures set out in subparagraphs 2, 3 and 4.
Imports of tomatoes originating in the Canary Islands shall be subject to the Community surveillance introduced for the management of the annual tariff quota provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is applied.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1990.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1449/2003
of 14 August 2003
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 August 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular Article 4(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Community market price for pig carcasses, as referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, must be established by weighting the prices recorded in each Member State by coefficients expressing the relative size of the pig population of each Member State. These coefficients should be determined on the basis of the number of pigs counted at the beginning of December each year in accordance with Council Directive 93/23/EEC of 1 June 1993 concerning surveys of pig production to be made by the Member States(3), as amended by Directive 97/77/EC(4).
(2) In view of the results of the census of December 2000 the weighting coefficients fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1354/2000(5) should be adjusted.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The weighting coefficients referred to in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be as specified in the Annex hereto.
Regulation (EC) No 1354/2000 is hereby repealed.

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1605/92 of 15 June 1992 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on imports of certain industrial products into the Canary Islands
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1) ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2) ,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the application of the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands(3) , provides that from 1 July 1991 the Canary Islands shall form part of the Community's customs territory and that the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) shall be progressively introduced during a transitional period which, in principle, may not extend beyond 31 December 2000; whereas, consequently, since 1 July 1991 imports of industrial products into the Canary Islands originating in non-member countries have been subject to customs duties which hitherto had non been levied on them;
Whereas point 7.1 of the Annex to Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands (Poseican)(4) states that, at the request - with supporting documents - of the relevant Spanish authorities, specific tariff measures will be considered for certain sensitive products to take account of particular problems in a given sector of local production intended for local consumption or tourism, with a view to maintaining an exemption equivalent to that applied prior to the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 and to allow access for consumer goods;
Whereas, according to point 7.2 of the said Annex, such measures must be carefully tailored to the Canary Islands' domestic market to avoid any deflection of trade and, in principle, must be limited to the transitional period provided for under Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 for the gradual adoption of the Common Customs Tariff to the Canary Islands;
Whereas the relevant Spanish authorities submitted a request on 12 July 1991 for autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties to be suspended in full, from 1 July 1991 to 31 December 2000, on imports of certain sensitive products into the Canary Islands;
Whereas, in the light of the supporting arguments presented by the Spanish authorities to the Commission on 4 November 1991, these products are considered to be sensitive for the Canary Islands' economy;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the requested measure is carefully tailored to the Canary Islands' domestic market as it is now and as it might be by 31 December 2000, it is considered appropriate, initially, to suspend all duty on the abovementioned products up to 31 December 1995; whereas the measures to be decided between this date and the end of the transitional period must be adopted at a later stage in the light of all the measures adopted in favour of the economy of the Canary Islands until 31 December 1995; whereas, on the other hand, the purpose of the Spanish authorities' request for the products in question to be exempted from customs duty from 1 July 1991 is to maintain the supply of the products in question and is hence deemed to be justified;
Whereas measures must be taken to ensure that the products for which suspension is requested are intended solely for the Canary Islands' domestic market and also to ensure that the Commission is kept regularly informed of the volume of imports in question so that, if necessary, it can take steps to prevent any speculative movement or deflection of trade,
1. The Common Customs Tariff duties applicable to imports into the Canary Islands of the products listed in the Annex shall be suspended in full from 1 July 1991 to 31 December 1995.
2. The suspension referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply solely to products intended for the Canary Islands' domestic market.
3. The relevant Spanish authorities shall adopt the provisions necessary to ensure compliance with paragraph 2 pursuant to the relevant Community provisions on end-use and in particular the levying of Common Customs Tariff duties when the products in question are dispatched to the other parts of the customs territory of the Community.
They shall inform the Commission of such measures at the earliest opportunity.
1. In the case of the products referred to in Article 1, the relevant Spanish authorities shall inform the Commission, no later than the fifteenth of each month, beginning on 15 September 1992, of the volume of imports exempted from duty during the preceding month.
2. The information to be sent on 15 September 1992 must cover all imports since 1 July 1991.
In the framework of the interim period provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91, the Commission, after consulting the competent Spanish authorities, shall examine in 1995 the effect of all the measures adopted in favour of the economy of the Canary Islands. On the basis of the outcome of this examination, it shall submit to the Council the requisite proposals for the period extending beyond 31 December 1995.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1991.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 laying down detailed rules for the application of special measures in respect of linseed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures for linseed (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1071/77 (2), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2888/86 (4), provides that growers of seed flax shall submit their crop declarations by 31 December each year; whereas, for reasons of administrative convenience, 15 December would be a more appropriate deadline;
Whereas Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 provides that producer Member States shall before 31 December each year inform the Commission of the areas of flax harvested; whereas maintaining that deadline would allow insufficient time for producer Member States to assemble the information from growers' crop declarations; whereas Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 should be amended in consequence;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 9 (1) is replaced by the following:
'Every grower of seed flax shall, by 15 December each year, submit a crop declaration.'
2. In Article 17 (1), '31 December' is replaced by '15 February'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1987.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 930/2004
of 1 May 2004
on temporary derogation measures relating to the drafting in Maltese of the acts of the institutions of the European Union
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 290 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 28 and 41 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1 of 15 April 1958 determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community (1) and to Council Regulation No 1 of 15 April 1958 determining the languages to be used by the European Atomic Energy Community (2), which two Regulations are hereinafter referred to as ‘Regulation No 1’,
Having regard to the Council Rules of Procedure, and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,
Having regard to the request of 31 March 2004 by the Maltese Government,
Whereas:
(1) Following the accession of Malta to the European Union, and in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation No 1, Maltese is an official language and a working language of the institutions of the Union.
(2) Accordingly, regulations and other documents of general application are to be drafted also in Maltese, as provided for in Article 4 of Regulation No 1. The Official Journal of the European Union should also be published in Maltese, as provided for in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(3) It appears from contacts between the Maltese authorities and the European Union institutions that, due to the current situation regarding the recruitment of Maltese linguists and the resulting lack of qualified translators, it is not possible to guarantee the drafting in Maltese of all acts adopted by the institutions.
(4) This situation will prevail for some time, pending the implementation of transitional measures taken in close cooperation between the Maltese authorities and the European Union institutions to remedy the lack of qualified translators. In the meantime, this situation should not have a negative impact on the activities of the Union, slowing the work of its institutions.
(5) Article 8 of Regulation No 1 allows the Council, acting upon request of the Member State concerned, to decide on the use of languages as regards Member States which have more than one official language. According to the Constitution of Malta, Maltese and English are the official languages of Malta and every law is to be enacted in both the Maltese and English languages, the Maltese text prevailing in the case of conflict, unless provision is otherwise made.
(6) In the light of the situation referred to above and on request by the Maltese Government, it is appropriate to decide that, on an exceptional and transitional basis, the institutions of the Union are not to be bound by the obligation concerning the drafting or translation of all acts, including judgments of the Court of Justice, in the Maltese language. However, it is appropriate that such derogation be partial and therefore to exclude from its scope regulations adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council.
(7) The status of Maltese as an official language and a working language of the institutions of the Union remains unaffected.
(8) At the end of the transitional period, all acts which at that time have not already been published in the Maltese language should also be published in that language,
By way of derogation from Regulation No 1 and for a period of three years beginning on 1 May 2004, the institutions of the European Union shall not be bound by the obligation to draft all acts in Maltese and to publish them in that language in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Article shall not apply to Regulations adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council.
Not later than 30 months after its adoption, the Council shall review the operation of this Regulation and determine whether to extend it for a further period of one year.
At the end of the transitional period, all acts which at that time have not already been published in the Maltese language shall also be published in that language.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 May 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
(2) Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
(3) Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
(4) Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
(5) Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
(6) Whereas novobiocin, betamethasone, spiramycin, diflubenzuron and enrofloxacin should be inserted into annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(7) Whereas calendulae flos, cimicifugae racemosae rhizoma, ergometrine maleate, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, mepivacaine, xylazine hydrochloride, novobiocin, piperazine dihydrochloride, poyoxyl castor oil with 30 to 40 oxyethylene units and jecoris oleum should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(8) Whereas, in order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, piperazine, cyromazine, tilmicosin and toltrazuril should be inserted into Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
(9) Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC(4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation,
(10) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COUNCIL DECISION of 9 November 1998 adopted on the basis of Article J.3 of the Treaty on European Union concerning a specific action of the Union in the field of assistance for mine clearance (98/627/CFSP)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles J.3 and J.11(2) thereof,
Whereas the Council adopted on 1 October 1996 Joint Action 96/588/CFSP (1) on anti-personnel landmines; whereas the Council adopted on 28 November 1997 a new Joint Action 97/817/CFSP (2) on anti-personnel landmines with a view to updating and further developing the initiatives carried out by the European Union under the first joint action;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1540/2005
of 22 September 2005
on the application of the beef special premium scheme in 2004 in Ireland and the United Kingdom
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) Pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, producers holding male bovine animals on their holdings could qualify for a special premium. According to Article 4(2) of that Regulation, the special premium was granted in two age brackets. Under the ‘first age bracket’, set out in Article 4(2)(a) and (b), first indent, of that Regulation, the special premium was granted once in the life of each bull from the age of nine months, or, for steer, the first time at the age of nine month. Under the ‘second age bracket’, set out in Article 4(2)(b), second indent, of that Regulation, the special premium was granted, for steers, for a second time after it reached the age of 21 months. Pursuant to Article 4(4) of that Regulation, when the total number of bulls from the age of nine months and of steers from nine months to 20 months of age, for which an application was made and which satisfied the conditions for granting the special premium exceeded the regional ceiling as referred to in Annex I to that Regulation, the number of all eligible animals, in the first and the second age bracket, per producer for the year in question was to be reduced proportionately.
(2) Following the decision taken by Ireland and the United Kingdom to implement, as from 1 January 2005, the Single Payment Scheme provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulations (EEC) No 2019/93, (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001, (EC) No 1454/2001, (EC) No 1868/94, (EC) No 1251/1999, (EC) No 1254/1999, (EC) No 1673/2000, (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EC) No 2529/2000 (2), a large number of farmers wished to benefit from the special premium for their eligible bovine animals before the end of the scheme on 31 December 2004. Consequently, the number of animals for which an application was made in respect of the calendar year 2004 was considerably higher than in the previous years.
(3) The increase in the number of applications in respect of the calendar year 2004 in Ireland and the United Kingdom for animals under the first age bracket was considerably higher than in the year 2003 and led to an excessive overshoot of the respective regional ceilings. Compared to the previous years, an increase of aid applications submitted in respect of animals falling within the second age bracket also had to be noted. However, that increase was considerably lower than the increase of applications for animals under the first age bracket.
(4) In accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, the excessive overshoot of the regional ceiling would result in a proportionate reduction of all aid applications. Taking account of the fact that the scheme ended on 31 December 2004, the actual purpose of a proportionate reduction of applications for animals under the second age bracket is no more pertinent because the animals claimed under the first age bracket will no more be claimable under the second age bracket. Applying the reduction provided for in Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 to both age brackets would, therefore, lead to a disproportionate penalisation of producers who applied, in 2004, for animals under the second age bracket. The expiry of the Special Premium Scheme in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 31 December 2004 has therefore created a specific practical problem on the market which needs to be resolved in order to avoid disproportionate consequences for those farmers. It is, therefore, necessary to take the appropriate measures to decrease the penalisation-effect on these producers.
(5) To limit, in respect of the calendar year 2004 in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the impact of the reduction resulting from the excessive overshoot in respect of animals under the first age bracket on those under the second, the payments of the special premium for animals under the second age bracket should be set equal to the average number of payments in respect of animals in the same age bracket for which payments of the premium were made during the calendar years 2001, 2002 and 2003.
(6) Pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, producers receiving the special premium could qualify for an extensification payment, provided that in respect of the calendar year concerned the holdings concerned met the stocking density laid down in Article 13(2) of that Regulation. The extensification payment should be granted for the animals in the second age bracket accepted for the special premium which were held in holdings meeting the stocking density laid down in Article 13(2) of that Regulation.
(7) Pursuant to the first indent of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, payments were to be made not later than 30 June 2005. However, given the particular circumstances arising from the expiry of the Special Premium Scheme, the abovementioned exceptional payments should be made not later than 15 October 2005.
(8) The Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
1. By way of derogation from Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, in Ireland and in the United Kingdom, the maximum number of animals referred to in the second indent of Article 4(2)(b) of that Regulation, for which payments of the special premium may be made in respect of the calendar year 2004, shall be as follows:
— Ireland: 849 400,
— United Kingdom: 938 100.
2. The extensification payment may be granted for the animals referred to in the second indent of Article 4(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 accepted to the special premium which are held in holdings meeting the stocking density laid down in Article 13(2) of that Regulation.
3. By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, the payments referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be made not later than 15 October 2005.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 188(1) and (3) thereof,

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM) No 480/2009
of 25 May 2009
establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions
(Codified version)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 203 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) The general budget of the European Union is exposed to increased financial risk as a result of the guarantees covering loans to third countries.
(3) The European Council on 11 and 12 December 1992 concluded that considerations of prudent budgetary management and financial discipline called for the establishment of a new financial mechanism, and that accordingly a Guarantee Fund should be set up in order to cover the risks related to loans and guarantees covering loans granted to third countries or for projects executed in third countries. This need can be met by the establishment of a Guarantee Fund which may be drawn on to pay the Communities’ creditors direct.
(4) Pursuant to the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management, adopted on 17 May 2006 (4), the funding of the Guarantee Fund is provided for as an obligatory expenditure from the general budget of the European Union for the period from 2007 to 2013.
(5) Mechanisms exist for honouring guarantees when they are activated, in particular by drawing provisionally on cash resources, as provided for in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom on the system of the Communities’ own resources (5).
(6) The Guarantee Fund should be constituted by the gradual payment of resources. The Fund should subsequently also receive interest on its invested resources and amounts recovered from defaulting debtors where the Fund has already honoured the guarantee.
(7) Experience of the functioning of the Guarantee Fund indicates that a ratio of 9 % between the Fund’s resources and guaranteed liabilities in principal, increased by unpaid interest due, would be adequate.
(8) Payments to the Guarantee Fund equal to 9 % of the amount of each operation would seem sufficient to attain the target amount. The arrangements for making such payments should be defined.
(9) If the Guarantee Fund exceeds the target amount, the surplus should be paid back to the general budget of the European Union.
(10) The financial management of the Guarantee Fund should be entrusted to the European Investment Bank (hereinafter referred to as the ‘EIB’). The financial management of the Fund should be subject to audit by the Court of Auditors in accordance with procedures agreed upon by the Court of Auditors, the Commission and the EIB.
(11) The Communities have granted loans and guaranteed loans to accession countries or for projects executed in those countries. Those loans and guarantees are covered by the Guarantee Fund and will remain outstanding or in force after the date of accession. From that date, they will cease to be external actions of the Communities and should therefore be covered directly by the general budget of the European Union and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.
(12) The Guarantee Fund covers defaults under loans issued by the EIB for which the Communities provide a guarantee under the EIB’s external mandate. In addition, in line with the EIB’s external mandate which took effect from 1 February 2007, the Fund should also cover defaults under loan guarantees issued by the EIB for which the Communities provide a guarantee.
(13) The Treaties do not provide any powers other than those pursuant to Article 308 of the EC Treaty and Article 203 of the Euratom Treaty for the adoption of this Regulation,
A Guarantee Fund (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Fund’) shall be established, the resources of which shall be used to repay the Communities’ creditors in the event of default by the beneficiary of a loan granted or guaranteed by the Communities or of a loan guarantee issued by the European Investment Bank (hereinafter referred to as the ‘EIB’) for which the Communities provide a guarantee.
The lending and guarantee operations referred to in the first paragraph (hereinafter referred to as operations) shall be those carried out for the benefit of a third country or for the purpose of financing projects in third countries.
All operations carried out for the benefit of a third country or for the purpose of financing projects in a third country shall fall outside the scope of this Regulation, with effect from the date on which that country accedes to the European Union.
The Fund shall be endowed by:
— one annual payment from the general budget of the European Union pursuant to Articles 5 and 6,
— interest on Fund resources invested,
— amounts recovered from defaulting debtors where the Fund has already honoured the guarantee.
The Fund shall rise to an appropriate level (hereinafter referred to as the target amount).
The target amount shall be 9 % of the Communities’ total outstanding capital liabilities arising from each operation, increased by unpaid interest due.
On the basis of the year-end n–1 difference between the target amount and the value of the Fund’s net assets, calculated at the beginning of the year n, any surplus shall be paid in one transaction to a special heading in the statement of revenue in the general budget of the European Union of the year n + 1.
Following the accession of a new Member State to the European Union, the target amount shall be reduced by an amount calculated on the basis of the operations referred to in the third paragraph of Article 1.
In order to calculate the amount of the reduction, the percentage rate referred to in the second paragraph of Article 3 applicable on the date of accession shall be applied to the amount of those operations outstanding on that date.
The surplus shall be paid back to a special heading in the statement of revenue in the general budget of the European Union.
Based on the year-end n–1 difference between the target amount and the value of the Fund’s net assets, calculated at the beginning of the year n, the required provisioning amount shall be paid into the Fund in one transaction in the year n + 1 from the general budget of the European Union.
1. If, as a result of one or more defaults, the activation of guarantees during year n–1 exceeds EUR 100 million, the amount exceeding EUR 100 million shall be paid back into the Fund in annual tranches starting in year n + 1 and continuing over the following years until full repayment (smoothing mechanism). The size of the annual tranche shall be the lesser of the following:
— EUR 100 million, or,
— the remaining amount due in accordance with the smoothing mechanism.
Any amount resulting from the activation of guarantees in years preceding year n–1, that has not yet been repaid in full due to the smoothing mechanism, shall be paid back before the smoothing mechanism for defaults occurring in year n–1 or subsequent years can take effect. Such remaining amounts shall continue to be deducted from the maximum annual amount to be recovered from the general budget of the European Union under the smoothing mechanism until such time as the full amount has been paid back into the Fund.
2. The calculations based on the smoothing mechanism shall be made separately from the calculations referred to in the third paragraph of Article 3 and in Article 5. Nevertheless, they shall together result in one annual transfer. The amounts to be paid from the general budget of the European Union under the smoothing mechanism shall be treated as net assets of the Fund for the calculation pursuant to Articles 3 and 5.
3. If, as a result of the activation of guarantees following one or more major defaults, resources in the Fund fall below 80 % of the target amount, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority thereof.
4. If, as a result of the activation of guarantees following one or more major defaults, resources in the Fund fall below 70 % of the target amount, the Commission shall submit a report on exceptional measures that may be required to replenish the Fund.
The Commission shall entrust the financial management of the Fund to the EIB under a mandate on behalf of the Communities.
The Commission shall, by 31 May of the following financial year, send to the European Parliament, the Council and the Court of Auditors an annual report on the situation of the Fund and the management thereof in the previous year.
The revenue and expenditure account and the balance sheet relating to the Fund shall be attached to the Communities’ revenue and expenditure account and balance sheet.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), extended for 1994 by Regulation (EC) No 3668/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 provides that preferential tariff treatment shall be accorded from 1 July to 31 December 1994 for each category of products subjected in Annexes I and II thereto to individual ceilings within the limits of the quantities specified in column 8 of its Annex I and column 7 of Annex II, in respect of certain or each of the countries or territories of origin referred to in column 5 of the same Annexes;
Whereas Article 11 of the abovementioned Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties may be re-established at any time in respect of imports of the products in question once the relevant individual ceilings have been reached at Community level;

of 12 October 2012
fixing the interest rates to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal for the 2013 EAGF accounting year
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1)(a) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) of intervention measures in the form of public storage operations and the accounting of public storage operations by the paying agencies of the Member States (2) provides that expenditure relating to the financial costs incurred by Member States in mobilising funds to buy in products is to be determined in accordance with the methods set out in Annex IV to that Regulation.
(2) The first paragraph of point I.1 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 provides that the financial costs in question are to be calculated on the basis of a uniform interest rate for the Union fixed by the Commission at the beginning of every accounting year. This interest rate corresponds to the average of the three-month and 12-month forward Euribor rates, recorded in the six months preceding the notification from the Member States provided for in the first paragraph of point I.2 of the aforementioned Annex IV, with a weighting of one third and two thirds respectively. That rate must be fixed at the beginning of each accounting year of the EAGF.
(3) However, if the interest rate notified by a Member State is lower than the uniform interest rate fixed for the Union, in accordance with the second paragraph of point I.2 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 884/2006, the interest rate is to be fixed at the level of the rate notified.
(4) Furthermore, in accordance with the third paragraph of point I.2 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 884/2006, in the absence of any notification from a Member State, in the form and by the deadline referred to in the first paragraph of point I.2 of the aforementioned Annex IV, the interest rate borne by that Member State is to be considered as being 0 %. Where a Member State declares that it did not bear any interest costs because it did not have agricultural products in public storage during the reference period, the uniform interest rate fixed by the Commission applies to that Member State. Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia have declared that they did not bear any interest costs as they did not have any agricultural products in public storage during the reference period.
(5) Given the Member States’ notifications to the Commission, the interest rates applicable for the 2013 EAGF accounting year should be fixed taking the various factors into account.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
For expenditure relating to the financial costs incurred by Member States in mobilising funds to buy in products chargeable to the 2013 accounting year of the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), the interest rates provided for in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 in accordance with Article 4(1)(a) of that Regulation shall be fixed at:
(a) 0,2 % in the case of the specific interest rate applicable in Finland;
(b) 0,3 % in the case of the specific interest rate applicable in Germany;
(c) 0,5 % in the case of the specific interest rate applicable in the United Kingdom and in Ireland;
(d) 0,9 % in the case of the specific interest rate applicable in Belgium;
(e) 1,0 % in the case of the uniform interest rate for the Union applicable to the other Member States.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2012.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 (2) opened standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States. Annex I to this Regulation provides for 27 502 tonnes of common wheat held by the Hungarian intervention agency.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 of 13 October 2006 adopting a plan allocating resources to the Member States to be charged against 2007 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (3) lays down, amongst other things, the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies. These quantities include, as stated in point 9 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 and in the form of authorised intra-Community transfers, 96 712 tonnes of common wheat held by the Hungarian intervention agencies destined for Romania. Under the second subparagraph of Article 3(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 (4), any quantities that have not been withdrawn from intervention stocks by 30 September in the year of plan implementation are no longer to be allocated to the Member State to which they were assigned. On 5 September 2007 the Romanian authorities informed the Commission that it would be impossible to comply with that deadline. As a result, and in view of the situation on the market in common wheat, that quantity of 96 712 tonnes of common wheat should be recovered and added to the quantity made available for sale under the invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 712/2007.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 should be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
