COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2235/2004
of 23 December 2004
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 sugar (1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) 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. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2) specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kg for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) 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.
(5) 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.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Bulgaria (3) with effect from 1 October 2004, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Bulgaria are not eligible for export refunds.
(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 A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 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, are fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
By way of derogation from Article 1 and with effect from 1 October 2004, the rates set out in the Annex shall not be applicable to goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty when exported to Bulgaria.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
Council Decision
of 14 August 2000
amending Decision 93/731/EC on public access to Council documents and Council Decision 2000/23/EC on the improvement of information on the Council's legislative activities and the public register of Council documents
(2000/527/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Union, and in particular Article 207 thereof,
Having regard to its Rules of Procedure, and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The European Council, meeting in Helsinki in December 1999, provided political impetus for the development of the European Union's means for military and non-military crisis management within the framework of a strengthened European security and defence policy.
(2) In this context, the Council must introduce rules guaranteeing effective protection of documents concerning these matters disclosure of which could harm the essential interests of the Union or of one or more of its Member States. For this reason, under the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council(1), such documents must be classified as TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET or SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL.
(3) The seriousness of the consequences of disclosure of such documents, in particular with regard to the prospective development of the new strengthened European security and defence policy, and the necessary confidence which those involved must be able to have at a crucial moment in the development of this policy, justify the exclusion of such documents from the scope of the rules on public access to Council documents until such time as they are declassified, or declassified in accordance with the rules referred to in recital 2 concerning classification of documents.
(4) The exchange of information in the particularly sensitive areas referred to in recital 1, which is one of the features of the development of this new policy, will work only if the originator of such information can be confident that no information put out by him will be disclosed against his will. It is therefore necessary to provide that a Council document from which conclusions may be drawn regarding the content of classified information put out by a natural or legal person, a Member State, another Community institution or body or any other national or international body may be made available to the public only with the prior written consent of the author of the information in question.
(5) With the same objective of reinforcing protection of the confidentiality of information when scrutinising documents to which access has been requested, it should be provided that measures are taken to ensure compliance with the principle that access to classified documents must be reserved for those persons who are authorised to take cognisance thereof.
(6) Since the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or military and non-military crisis management represent public interests which Decision 93/731/EC(2) is intended to protect, this should be specifically mentioned among the reasons justifying refusal of access to a document,
The provisions of Decision 93/731/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1(1) shall be replaced by the following:
"1. The public shall have access to Council documents, except for documents classified as TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET, SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL within the meaning of the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council, on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management, under the conditions laid down in this Decision.
Where a request for access refers to a classified document within the meaning of the first subparagraph, the applicant shall be informed that the document does not fall within the scope of this Decision."
2. The following paragraph shall be added to Article 2:
"3. Without prejudice to Article 1(1), no Council document on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management which enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the content of classified information from one of the sources referred to in paragraph 2 may be made available to the public except with the prior written consent of the author of the information in question.
Where access to a document is refused pursuant to this paragraph, the applicant shall be informed thereof."
3. Article 3(1) shall be replaced by the following:
"1. The applicant shall have access to a Council document either by consulting it on the spot or by having a copy sent at his own expense. The fee shall be set by the Secretary-General/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (hereinafter referred to as the 'Secretary-General')."
4. The first indent of Article 4(1) shall be replaced by the following:
"- the protection of the public interest (public security, the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States, military or non-military crisis management, international relations, monetary stability, court proceedings, inspections and investigations),"
5. The following sentence shall be added at the end of Article 5:"The Permanent Representatives Committee shall see to it that the necessary measures are taken to ensure that the preparation of such decisions is entrusted to persons authorised to take cognisance of the documents concerned."
6. In Article 7(3), the references to Articles 138e and 173 of the Treaty establishing the European Community shall be replaced by references to Articles 195 and 230 of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
7. The following sentence shall be added at the end of Article 7(5):"The extension may be for two months where it is necessary to consult a source other than the Council, as provided in Article 2(3)."
Decision 2000/23/EC(3) is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following shall be added as the second subparagraph of Article 2:"The public register of Council documents contains no reference to documents classified TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET or SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL within the meaning of the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council, on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management."
2. The first indent of Article 2 shall be replaced by the following:
"- the protection of the public interest (public security, the security and defence of the Union or one of its Member States, military or non-military crisis management, international relations, monetary-stability, court proceedings, inspections and investigations),"
The Secretary-General of the Council shall take necessary measures to ensure the implementation of this Decision.
This Decision shall take effect as from the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(3) From 19 to 29 May 2003 an inspection team of the Commission services (Food and Veterinary Office) has carried out a mission to the United States in order to assess the epidemiological situation as regards Newcastle disease, the control measures in place and the implementation of Decision 2003/67/EC.
(4) From the preliminary results of this mission it can be concluded that the disease seems to be under control although not fully eradicated yet. It also appears that the epizootic has been contained in the initial infected area of California and only limited introductions into neighbouring States have occurred.
(5) The present situation allows the size of the restricted area to be reduced, while a further prolongation of the protection measures until 1 December 2003 should be decided, and Decision 2003/67/EC should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2003/67/EC is amended as follows:
1. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
2. The date in Article 6 is replaced by "1 December 2003".
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to importation from the United States of America of the products referred to in Article 1(1) of Decision 2003/67/EC to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted.
They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall apply from 4 August 2003.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2894/94 of 28 November 1994 concerning arrangements for implementing the Agreement on the European Economic Area (1), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Annex XIII to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (2) (the ‘EEA Agreement’) was amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 90/2011 of 19 July 2011 (3), by virtue of which Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community (4) was incorporated into the EEA Agreement.

95/555/EC: Commission Decision of 20 December 1995 on the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for essential uses in the Community in 1996 under Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 on substances that deplete the ozone layer
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1995 on the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for essential uses in the Community in 1996 under Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (95/555/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 of 15 December 1994 (1), and in particular Articles 3, 4 and 7 thereof,
Whereas, because of concerns for the ozone layer, the Community has decided to phase out certain controlled substances earlier than provided for in the Montreal Protocol commencing on 1 January 1995;
Whereas Article 3 (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (7) of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 states that the Commission shall determine every year any essential uses which may be permitted in the Community and any quantities of controlled substances which may be produced, placed on the market or used for these purposes;
Whereas, pursuant to the abovementioned Regulation, those essential uses have to be decided for chlorofluorocarbons (Articles 3 (1) and 4 (1)); other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (Articles 3 (2) and 4 (2)); halons (Articles 3 (3) and 4 (3); carbon tetrachloride (Articles 3 (4) and 4 (4)); 1,1,1-trichloroethane (Articles 3 (5) and 4 (5)); and HBFCs (Articles 3 (7) and 4 (7));
Whereas the criteria used for assessing essential uses are in line with Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and are:
(a) that a use of a controlled substance should qualify as 'essential` only if:
(i) it is a necessary for health or safety, or is critical for the functioning of society (including cultural and intellectual aspects); and (ii) there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes that are acceptable environmentally or from the health point of view;
(b) that production and consumption, if any, of a controlled substance for essential uses should be permitted only if:
(i) all economically feasible steps have been taken to minimize the essential use and associated emission of the controlled substance; and (ii) the controlled substance is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled controlled substances, account also being taken of the needs of developing countries for controlled substances;
Whereas Decision VI/9 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorizes the levels of production or consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances for (i) metered dose inhalers (MDIs) for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and for (ii) laboratory and analytical uses as specified in Annex I to this Decision;
Whereas the same Decision VI/9 also commits Parties to endeavouring to minimize use and emissions by all possible means; whereas in the case of MDIs, these means include educating physicians and patients about other treatment options and making real efforts to eliminate or recapture emissions from filling and testing consistent with national laws and regulations;
Whereas after receiving a certain number of applications from Member States, the Commission published Decision 95/324/EC (1) which recognizes the production of MDIs for the treatment of asthma and other COPDs and laboratory uses as essential uses and specifies quantities for the European Community on behalf of the Member States for 1996, in line with the Montreal Protocol Decisions IV/25 and VI/9 mentioned above;
Whereas the quantity of 1,1,1-trichloroethane authorized in Decision 95/324/EC is not sufficient for the essential laboratory and analytical uses;
Whereas, in order to increase the quantities of 1,1,1-trichloroethane to meet the essential laboratory uses identified in Decision 95/324/EC, the Commission shall identify the distributors who may supply the controlled substances for that purpose;
Whereas the Commission has published a notice (2) to those companies in the European Community which use controlled substances that may be allowed for essential uses in the Community in 1996 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 3093/94, and has thereby revealed applications for quantities of controlled substances for essential uses for 1996;
Whereas, in the framework of the Montreal Protocol nomination and assessment procedures for essential uses, parties are requested to identify the users who may take advantage of essential uses in 1996;
Whereas the Commission issues licences to the users identified pursuant to Articles 3, 4 and 7 and in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94;
Whereas, consequently, within this framework a producer may be authorized by the competent authority of the Member State in which its relevant production is situated to produce the controlled substances for the purpose of meeting the licensed demands presented by the identified users; whereas the competent authority of the Member State concerned shall in turn notify the Commission well in advance of any such authorization;
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94 sets out the procedure according to which decisions can be taken concerning the implementation of the Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 3093/94;
Whereas the list of essential uses and the quantities of the controlled substances are hereby given in Annex II as information for producer and user industries,
Companies which may take advantage of essential uses for their own account or which put the controlled substances in free circulation with a view to exemptions being granted for essential laboratory uses are listed in Annex I.
Further to Article 1 (1) of Decision 95/324/EC, the quantities of 1,1,1-trichloroethane for essential laboratory uses shall be increased by 300 tonnes.
The allocation of quantities for essential uses is specified in Annex II.
This Decision is addressed to the companies listed in Annex I.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January to 31 December 1996.

The single programming document includes the following essential information:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Northern Ireland;
the main priorities are:
1. Promoting economic development and competitiveness;
2. Investment in communities and people;

The assistance from the Structural Funds and the FIFG granted to the single programming document amounts to a maximum of ECU 1 232,82 million, after deduction of an amount of ECU 180 000 reserved for technical assistance on the initiative of the Commission.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures which the single programming document comprises, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision (16).
The national financial contribution as indicated in the financing plan may be met in part by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other types of loans. In indicative terms, EIB loans could reach ECU 250 million.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the FIFG of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDFECU 676,82 million
- ESFECU 354,00 million
- EAGGF, Guidance SectionECU 186,88 million

- ERDFECU 85,41 million
- ESFECU 48,56 million
- EAGGF, Guidance SectionECU 23,48 million
- FIFGECU 1,56 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the single programming document and on progress in its implementation.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the FIFG and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of reprogramming decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measures 1.1.1 to 1.1.6, 1.2.1, 1.2.3 and 3.2.3. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission and hence the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the single programming document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 2001.
The single programming document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 7, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

Whereas detailed rules for the definition of lambs fattened as heavy carcases were adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2134/95 (6); whereas experience has shown that, to avoid excessive administrative burdens, it is appropriate to restrict, in a manner respectful of the production cycles of each Member State, the number, size and time period in which producers may present specific declarations to the competent authorities of their intention to fatten batches of lambs;
Whereas, to harmonize the dates of premium application for producers benefiting from the derogation provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 with regard to lambs belonging to particular breeds in certain geographical areas while respecting the need for suitable controls, the content and time for submission of a specific notification for that purpose should be defined; whereas the control measures and penalties ensuing from inadequacies in the said specific declarations should be foreseen;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 is amended as follows:
1. the third subparagraph of Article 1 (1) is replaced by the following text:
'Member States may require that this specific declaration shall relate to a minimum number of lambs per batch whose fattening begins in a set period, between 15 November preceeding the beginning of the marketing year for which the declaration is submitted and the following 14 November, defined by each Member State in function of the production cycle applicable in its territory. Member States may also set a limit to the minimum number of specific declarations which may be accepted from any producer.`;
2. the following subparagraphs are added to Article 2 (1):
'However, in Member States where lambs are not normally fattened until after the beginning of the marketing year, the Member States may decide that premium applications be submitted in the course of a period set within the period of 1 November preceding the beginning of the marketing year and the following 31 March. In this case, the producer shall submit to the competent authorities not later than the day on which lambing begins, a specific notification giving the details described in the three indents of the first subparagraph. This notification shall be referred to in the premium application for the marketing year in respect of which this notification was submitted.
The competent authorities designated by the Member State shall institute measures to check these specific notifications. Such measures shall include on-the-spot inspections at the place of lambing of at least 10 % of those producers submitting notifications in respect of any marketing year. However, in the case where producers notify that more than 40 % of their ewes lamb outside the retention period, the competent authorities shall take appropriate measures to ensure that 50 % of the abovementioned inspections on those producers take place outside the retention period.`;
3. the last subparagraph of Article 2 (2) is replaced by the following text:
'Where the competent authority finds that the information contained in the specific notification or in the premium application pursuant to paragraph 1 constitutes a false notification made deliberately or through serious negligence, the producer concerned shall also lose the right to the premium in accordance with Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 for the marketing year in respect of which the false notification is found to have been made.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to applications for premiums presented for the 1996 marketing year and subsequent years.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 28 April 2014
on the recognition of the legal and supervisory framework of Singapore as equivalent to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on credit rating agencies
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/248/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies (1), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 22 October 2012 the Commission granted a mandate to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), requesting its advice with regard to the technical assessment of the legal and supervisory framework of Singapore in respect of credit rating agencies (CRAs).
(2) In its technical advice delivered on 31 May 2013, ESMA indicated that in its outcomes, the Singaporean legal and supervisory framework in respect of CRAs is comparable to that laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.
(3) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, three conditions need to be fulfilled in order to consider a third country legal and supervisory framework equivalent to the requirements of that Regulation.
(4) According to the first condition, CRAs in third countries must be subject to authorisation or registration and to effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis. The Singaporean legal and regulatory framework for CRAs came into force on 17 January 2012. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which is the central bank of Singapore, has the power to issue secondary legislation on the basis of the Securities and Futures Act (SFA). CRAs are required to obtain a capital markets services (CMS) licence under the SFA to carry out credit rating services in Singapore and are supervised on an ongoing basis by MAS. MAS regulations applicable to CRAs, as CMS licensees, include the Securities and Futures (Licensing and Conduct of Business) Regulations and the Securities and Futures (Financial and Margin Requirements for Holders of Capital Markets Services Licenses) Regulations, as well as a legally binding Code of Conduct for CRAs. The Singaporean legal and supervisory framework endows MAS with a comprehensive range of powers allowing it to investigate whether CRAs comply with their legal obligations, in addition to the obligations of the CRAs to inform MAS of any changes in its particulars on an ongoing basis and to file financial information with MAS. The MAS has the power to inspect a CMS licensee and CRAs must allow MAS full access to their books, accounts and documents and give such information and facilities as may be required to conduct the inspection. The MAS has the authority to make copies or take possession of any of the books produced and can invoke investigation powers to require the production of documents. By April 2012, three CRAs were licensed in Singapore and in the first eight months of 2013, MAS carried out one on-site inspection. In addition, MAS is empowered to issue written instructions to a CRA not pertaining to the content of a credit rating, rating outlook or methodologies, if it considers it necessary or expedient in the interests of the public or for the protection of investors, revoke the licence or suspend the activities of a CRA, publish information relating to any breach by a CRA of its regulatory obligations. MAS can refer matters to the relevant national authorities for criminal investigation and prosecution. The cooperation agreement concluded between ESMA and MAS provides for information exchange with regard to enforcement and supervisory measures taken against cross border CRAs. On this basis, it should be considered that CRAs in Singapore are subject to authorisation or registration requirements equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 and the Singaporean supervisory and enforcement arrangements applicable to CRAs are effectively applied and enforced.
(5) According to the second condition, CRAs in the third country must be subject to legally binding rules which are equivalent to those set out in Articles 6 to 12 and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, with the exception of Articles 6a, 6b, 8a, 8b, 8c and 11a, point (ba) of point 3 and points 3a and 3b of Section B of Annex I to that Regulation. When assessing the fulfilment of this condition due regard should be paid to Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 462/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) in respect of the date of application of certain provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. With regard to corporate governance, the Singaporean legal and supervisory framework provides for a general obligation for the CRAs, their officers and staff to fulfil their tasks independently and the effective independence of directors is achieved through requirements for specific policies and shall be demonstrated to the MAS. CRAs have to seek the approval of MAS for the appointment of a CEO or director, whereby MAS takes into account the individual's experience, expertise and past performance. MAS also has the power to demand the removal of the CEO, directors or other officers of the CRA if it considers that those persons failed to discharge their duties, such as with regard to conflicts of interest and the review and compliance function. Extensive provisions are in place in the Singaporean legal and supervisory framework regarding the identification, elimination, management and disclosure of actual or potential conflicts of interest. That framework also requires CRAs to establish a rigorous and formal review function for reviewing rating methodologies and contains a number of organisational requirements to ensure compliance with the laws and rules applicable as well as disclosure requirements such as on the information to be published when issuing credit ratings and annual disclosures concerning its rating activities. Therefore, the Singaporean legal and supervisory framework should achieve the same outcomes as Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 in respect of the management of conflicts of interest, the organisational processes and procedures that a CRA needs to have in place, the quality of ratings and of rating methodologies, the disclosure of credit ratings and the general and periodic disclosure of credit rating activities. It thus provides for equivalent protection in terms of integrity, transparency, good governance of CRAs and reliability of the credit rating activities.
(6) According to the third condition, the regulatory regime in the third country must prevent interference by the supervisory authorities and other public authorities of that third country with the content of credit rating and methodologies. As far as it can be ascertained there is no legal provision empowering MAS or any other public authority to influence the content of credit rating or methodologies. Any act by MAS outside of its powers may be subject to judicial review.
(7) In view of the factors examined, the conditions laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 can be considered to be met by the Singaporean legal and supervisory framework for CRAs. Therefore, the Singaporean legal and supervisory framework for CRAs should be considered equivalent to the legal and supervisory framework established by Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. The Commission, informed by ESMA, should continue to monitor the evolution of the Singapore legal and supervisory framework for CRAs and the fulfilment of the conditions on the basis of which this decision has been taken.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,
For the purposes of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, the legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies in force in Singapore shall be considered as equivalent to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Exceptional weather conditions during the 2000/2001 marketing year have delayed the harvest in several areas.

Member States shall establish a control system to check that the delay in harvesting is solely due to the exceptional conditions mentioned above and shall inform the Commission of the measures taken.
This Regaltion shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, in order to remedy this situation, it is appropriate to make use of export refunds to zones which may be supplied by the Community; whereas the special situation of the rice market makes it necessary to limit the quantities of rice benefiting from the refunds, and therefore to apply Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 enabling the amount of refund to be fixed by tendering procedure;
Whereas it should be stated that the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 of 6 March 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of tendering for export refunds on rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 299/95 (4), apply to this invitation to tender;

2. The invitation to tender shall be open until 27 June 1996. During that period weekly invitations to tender shall be issued and the date for submission of tenders shall be determined in the notice of invitation to tender.
3. The invitation to tender shall take place in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 and with the following provisions.

The security referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 584/75 shall be ECU 20 per tonne.
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 21 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (7), export licences issued within this invitation to tender shall, for the purposes of determining their period of validity, be considered as having been issued on the day the tender was submitted.
2. The licences shall be valid from their date of issue, within the meaning of paragraph 1, until the end of the third month following.

Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 19(1) of Directive 1999/105/EC, the Council on a proposal from the Commission is to determine whether forest reproductive material produced in a third country affords the same assurances as regards the approval of its basic material and the measures taken for its production with a view to marketing as does forest reproductive material produced within the Community and complying with the provisions of that Directive.
(2) However, the information presently available on the conditions applying in third countries is still not sufficient to enable the Community to make any such decision in respect of any third country.
(3) Therefore, in order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted, Member States should be authorised to take such decisions. Such authorisation aims to ensure that the material imported offers equivalent guarantees to those applicable to forest reproductive material produced in the Community in accordance with that Directive.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Member States are authorised to take decisions under Article 19(3) of Directive 1999/105/EC with regard to forest reproductive material produced in third countries listed in the Annex, and in respect of the species, types of basic material and categories set out therein.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and other Member States of the decisions taken pursuant to this Decision, and of any withdrawal of such decisions.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 162/2013
of 21 February 2013
amending the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 on the mutual recognition of procedures for the complete denaturing of alcohol for the purposes of exemption from excise duty
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/83/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonization of the structures of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages (1), and in particular Article 27(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 27(1)(a) of Directive 92/83/EEC, Member States are required to exempt from excise duty alcohol which has been completely denatured in accordance with the requirements of any Member State, provided that such requirements have been duly notified and accepted in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 of that Article.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 of 22 November 1993 on the mutual recognition of procedures for the complete denaturing of alcohol for the purposes of exemption from excise duty (2) provides that the denaturants which are employed in each Member State for the purposes of completely denaturing alcohol in accordance with Article 27(1)(a) of Directive 92/83/EEC are to be described in the Annex to that Regulation.
(3) The proliferation of denaturing procedures adds complexity to the denaturing system, weakens the ability for effective administration of the system, and offers more opportunities for fraud.
(4) In 2008, Member States provided wide support for a project group operating under Decision No 1482/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2007 establishing a Community programme to improve the operation of taxation systems in the internal market (Fiscalis 2013) and repealing Decision No 2235/2002/EC (3), involving a large number of Customs Chemical Laboratories and the Joint Research Centre. The object of the project was to explore the possibility of applying common denaturing procedures (euro-denaturants) for the purposes of completely denaturing alcohol.
(5) The project group suggested, in its final report published in June 2011 that a denaturing procedure consisting of 3 litres of isopropyl alcohol (IPA), 3 litres of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and of 1 gram of denatonium benzoate per hectolitre of absolute alcohol, could be considered for adoption as a common denaturing procedure for the purposes of completely denaturing alcohol. One main advantage of that common procedure is that it is likely to replace numerous procedures individual to the various Member States. That procedure should therefore be employed as a procedure common to all Member States for the purposes of completely denaturing alcohol in order to prevent evasion, avoidance and abuse in this area.
(6) Subsequently, each Member State has communicated to the Commission a new list of requirements in accordance with Article 27(3) of Directive 92/83/EEC. Each of those lists referred to the common denaturing procedure and, in some cases, to other existing procedures. As regards existing procedures, certain Member States expressed the wish to maintain them for a transitional period or for a non-specified period of time due to specific technical requirements.
(7) The Commission transmitted all the communications received to the other Member States on 28 June 2012.
(8) None of the Member States objected to the proposed common denaturing procedure.
(9) As regards existing procedures, no new elements have been raised indicating the existence of risk of evasion, avoidance and abuse.
(10) In addition to the common denaturing procedure for the purposes of completely denaturing alcohol, patenting and related cost issues have led Austria to adopt an alternative procedure which is already employed by other Member States as a denaturing procedure.
(11) In order to allow industry adequate time to exhaust stocks of denaturants and denatured products covered so far by Regulation (EC) No 3199/93, but which will no longer be covered once this Regulation becomes applicable, the application of this Regulation as regards Section I of this Annex should be deferred.
(12) Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Excise Duties,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 17 (3) thereof, and the corresponding provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs (2), Council Regulation 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3) and Council Regulation 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (4),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 (5), lays down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds; whereas that Regulation is based on the abovementioned Regulations and on Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (6);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 has been replaced by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (7); whereas that Regulation no longer lays down general rules for its application to be adopted by the Council; whereas, however, the necessary detailed implementing rules for export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty are adopted in accordance with the Management Committee procedure; whereas it is essential to adopt uniform provisions, particularly in view of the fact that, generally speaking, the goods concerned contain agricultural products covered by several market organizations which provide for the granting of export refunds including after the incorporation of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty; whereas common implementing rules should therefore be adopted in the form of a single Regulation;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to repeal Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 on the date of entry into force of this new Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 moreover provides in Article 17 (3) thereof, by contrast with the other Regulations which serve as a legal basis for Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80, that it is for the Council, acting in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty on a proposal from the Commission, to adopt general rules for inter alia, the advance fixing of refunds; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 876/68 (8), laid down in respect of milk and milk products general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds; whereas that Regulation provides for the laying down of arrangements for the advance fixing of the refund; whereas, however, that Regulation applies only to milk products exported in the natural state; whereas certain provisions of that Regulation concerning the advance fixing of refunds should therefore also be made applicable in the case of exports of milk products in the form of goods referred to in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas it is advisable, at the same time, in view of the increased possibilities of importing into the Community milk products subject to a reduced levy, to extend the provisions of Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 876/68 concerning the conditions to be met in order to be eligible for refunds so as not to grant an amount of export refunds that is greater than the amount received on import of certain milk products from third countries;
Whereas the sector covered falls within the exclusive competence of the Community,
Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 is hereby repealed.
1. Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 876/68 is hereby amended as follows:
'Article 1
1. This Regulation lays down the rules for the fixing and granting of refunds:
- for the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 exported in the natural state,
- for the goods referred to in Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, with a view to applying Article 5 (3) and (4) of this Regulation.
2. The application of Articles 6 and 7 of this Regulation to the goods referred to in the second indent of paragraph 1 shall be limited to goods falling within the following CN codes:
- 1806 90 60 to 1806 90 90 (certain products
containing cocoa),
- 1901 (certain food preparations of flour, etc.),
- 2106 90 99 (certain food preparations not elsewhere specified),
and containing a high percentage of milk product compounds.'
2. The following shall be added to Article 6:
'4. However, with regard to the goods referred to in Article 1 (2) of this Regulation, the detailed rules of application shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the date of entry into force of the Regulation laying down, in respect of certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, the detailed rules of application for the granting of export refunds and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds.
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 Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 (2) certain international accounting standards and interpretations that were extant at 15 October 2008 were adopted.
(2) On 5 July 2007, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published IFRIC Interpretation 13 customer loyalty programmes, hereinafter ‘IFRIC 13’. IFRIC 13 eliminates the current inconsistencies in practice regarding the accounting treatment of free or discounted goods or services sold under customer loyalty programmes that companies use to award to their customers in form of points, air miles or other credits upon the sale of a good or a service.
(3) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that IFRIC 13 meets the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/505/EC of 14 July 2006 setting up a Standards Advice Review Group to advise the Commission on the objectivity and neutrality of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group’s (EFRAG) opinions (3), the Standards Advice Review Group considered EFRAG’s opinion on endorsement and advised the European Commission that it is well balanced and objective.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee’s (IFRIC) Interpretation 13 customer loyalty programmes is inserted as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Each company shall apply IFRIC 13, as set out in the Annex to this Regulation, at the latest as from the commencement date of its first financial year starting after 31 December 2008.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3) lays down that Member States are to take the measures necessary to satisfy themselves that transactions financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, (EAGGF) are actually carried out and are executed correctly, prevent and deal with irregularities and recover sums lost as a result of irregularities or negligence;

Whereas provision should be made, for a certain period and within the limit of the appropriations available, for Community financing for Member States' action programmes in the field of control of expenditure involving measures to amend or improve their monitoring structures or make them more effective;
Whereas the programmes must have a number of features enabling the Commission, with full knowledge of the facts, to evaluate the measures proposed by the Member States;

1. The Community shall contribute towards the costs incurred by Member States in implementing new action programmes, arising out of new Community obligations, approved by the Commission and aimed at improving the structures or effectiveness of EAGGF Guarantee Section expenditure controls.
2. The measures provided for in the programmes referred to in paragraph 1 may cover initial expenditure on the creation or reorganization of inspection services, including the redeployment or recruitment of inspectors and their assignments, the purchase or hire of equipment and facilities required for the performance of controls, the organization of training and briefing and any other appropriate means of reinforcing the effectiveness of controls.

After consulting the Fund Committee referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission shall, for each annual instalment, set the maximum amount of the Community financial contribution having regard to the appropriations and on the basis of the information supplied by the Member State.
When the annual amounts as referred to in the first subparagraph are set, preference shall be given to multiannual programmes which have already received Community part-financing pursuant to this Regulation, with particular account being taken of the extent to which previous annual instalments have been utilized.
Subject to the fourth subparagraph, the Community's financial participation rate shall be 50 % of payments made by the Member States in the financial year towards eligible expenditure within the meaning of Article 1.
If the total eligible expenditure exceeds the financial resources available, the Community's financial participation rate referred to in the third subparagraph shall be reduced accordingly.

(1) Multiannual Financing Agreements (MAFAs) and Annual Financing Agreements (AFAs) were concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Community, on the one hand and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’) on the other.
(2) In areas falling within the scope of the EU Treaty, the relationship between the new Member States and the EU, as of 1 May 2004, when these States acceded to the EU, is governed by EU law. In principle, bilateral agreements, without any particular legal acts being necessary, continue to apply as far as they do not contradict obligatory EU law in general and Community law in particular. In certain areas, the MAFAs and AFAs provide for rules which are different from Community law whilst not being contrary to any binding provisions. However, it is appropriate to foresee that in respect of Sapard the new Member States should, as far as possible, follow the same rules as those which apply to any other areas of Community law.
(3) It is therefore appropriate to provide for the continuation of the applicability of the MAFAs and AFAs subject to certain derogations and amendments. At the same time, certain provisions are no longer needed given the fact that the Community is no longer dealing with third countries but with Member States and that the new Member States will be directly submitted to provisions under Community law. Such MAFA provisions should therefore no longer apply.
(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on coordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 (1) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (2) have been the legal bases for the Commission to confer the management of aid under the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard) on implementing agencies in the applicant countries, on a case-by-case basis. The MAFAs were concluded based on that possibility. However, in relation to Member States, Community law does not require a conferral of management procedure but an accreditation procedure at national level for paying agencies, referred to in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3). The MAFAs provide basically for an identical accreditation procedure in their Article 4 of Section A of the Annex. With regard to Member States there is, therefore, no longer a need to provide for a conferral of the management of aid. Therefore, derogation from these provisions is appropriate.
(5) On 3 March 2004 the Commission decided on the conclusion of a new Agreement for the year 2003 amending the AFAs 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the MAFA with the applicant countries. Meanwhile, the new Member States have joined the EU and there is no room for the conclusion of further bilateral agreements between the EU and these States in areas falling within the competences of the EU. Rather than concluding bilateral agreements with these States, the Commission should therefore include the substance of these envisaged agreements in this Regulation. In particular, the amounts committed in view of the AFA 2003 and decided upon by the Commission in that decision should now be incorporated in the present Regulation.
(6) To allow a smooth transition from the pre-accession requirements, it is appropriate to provide for immediate entry into force and, with regard to certain provisions, a retrospective application of this Regulation.
(7) The Treaty of Accession enables the Commission to adopt transitional measures for a period of three years as of the date of accession. Given the fact that certain programmes under the MAFAs/AFAs may still continue after accession it is appropriate to provide for the applicability of this Regulation until 30 April 2007.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and of the Committee of the European Agriculture Guarantee and Guidance Fund,
Continuation of the applicability of the MAFAs and the AFAs after accession
1. Without prejudice to the continuation of the validity of the Multiannual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘MAFAs’) and the Annual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘AFAs’), as listed in Annex I, concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Community, on the one hand and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’) on the other, these Agreements shall continue to apply subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
2. Articles 2 and 4 of the MAFAs shall cease to apply.
3. The following provisions of the Annex to the MAFAs shall cease to apply:
(a) Articles 1 and 3 of Section A; however, any references to these Articles in the MAFAs or AFAs shall be construed as referring to the national accreditation decision in accordance with Article 4 of Section A;
(b) Article 14(2.6) and (2.7) of Section A;
(c) Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 of Section C;
(d) Item 8 of Section F;
(e) Section G.
4. Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 shall no longer apply to the new Member States with regard to the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard).
Derogations from MAFA provisions and from Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000
By way of derogation from the last subparagraph of Article 4(7) and Article 5(4) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs and Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission shall immediately be informed of any modifications in the implementation or paying arrangements of the Sapard Agency after its accreditation.
Amendment of the MAFAs
The following subparagraph is added to Article 10(3) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs:
‘However, interest not accounted for by projects assisted under the programme of Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, respectively, shall be paid to the Commission in euro’.
Amendment of Article 3 of AFAs 2000 to 2003
The amount provided for in Article 2 of the AFA 2003 for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, respectively, shall be replaced by the amounts referred to in Annex II.
Amendment of Article 3 of AFAs 2000 to 2003
At the end of Article 3 of each of the AFAs, the following subparagraph is added:
‘Any part of the Community contribution referred to in Article 2 for which no contracts with the final beneficiaries have been signed as of the date referred to in the second subparagraph shall be notified to the Commission within three months of this amount being known’.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply as of its entry into force and shall continue to apply until 30 April 2007. However, Article 1(2) and (3) and Article 2 shall apply as of 1 May 2004. Any communications which were sent to the Commission between 1 May 2004 and the entry into force of this Regulation in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 4(7) and Article 5(4) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs and Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, shall be construed as having been sent in accordance with Article 2 of this Regulation.
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 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2000(2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) 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) 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) 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) 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. 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) 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) Difloxacin, flunixin, halofuginone and toltrazuril should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(7) Calcium glycerophosphate should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(8) An adequate period 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 Commission Directive 2000/37/EC(4), to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 60th day following its publication.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 3 August 2005
on the management of fishing licences and the minimal information to be contained therein
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fishery resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 13(3) and Article 22(3),
Whereas:
(1) It is necessary to establish at Community level rules on the minimum information to be contained in a fishing licence in order to facilitate and ensure a homogeneous control of fishing activities, and in particular information on the licence holder, the vessel, the fishing capacity and the fishing gear.
(2) The fishing licence constitutes a relevant fleet management tool, in particular concerning the capacity limitations as laid down in Articles 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and in Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 of 30 March 2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions (2). The total capacity of a Member State’s fleet as expressed in the licences issued may not exceed those limitations and in particular the levels arising from the application of Commission Regulations (EC) No 1438/2003 of 12 August 2003 laying down implementing rules on the Community Fleet Policy as defined in Chapter III of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (3) and (EC) No 2104/2004 of 9 December 2004 laying down detailed implementing rules for Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions.
(3) With regard to the importance of the fishing licence as an instrument for both fleet management and control and inspection of fishing activities, Member States must ensure that the information contained in the licence is clear and unambiguous and corresponds at all times to the actual situation.
(4) According to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, the fishing licence must be withdrawn by a Member State in order for the vessel to be withdrawn from the fleet with public aid. The capacity corresponding to that licence cannot be replaced. On the other hand, if the withdrawal of a vessel has not benefited from public aid, the capacity and the capacity licence are replaceable as long as the provisions of Articles 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 on reference levels and the entry/exit regime of the fleet are respected.
(5) The information contained in the licence should correspond to the information contained in the Community fishing fleet register.
(6) The information included in the licence should be set out in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 of 22 September 1986 defining characteristics for fishing vessels (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2004 of 30 December 2003 on the Community fishing fleet register (5).
(7) Council Regulation (EC) No 3690/93 (6) established a Community system laying down rules for the minimum information to be contained in fishing licences. The present Regulation should apply from the date of repeal of that Regulation.
(8) The measures envisaged in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
Subject-matter

2. The flag Member State shall withdraw definitively the fishing licence of a vessel which is affected by a capacity adjustment measure referred to in Article 11 paragraph 3 of the Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
Coherence with measures of fleet capacity management
At any moment the total capacity corresponding to the fishing licences issued by a Member State, in GT and in kW, shall not be higher than the maximum capacity levels for that Member State established in accordance with Articles 12 and 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and Regulations (EC) No 639/2004, 1438/2003 and (EC) No 2104/2004.
1. Each flag Member State shall ensure that, not later than 12 months from the date of application of this Regulation, all its licences are in accordance with this Regulation.
2. Until all licences have been issued by the flag Member State in accordance with this regulation, the licences issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 3690/93 shall be considered to be valid licences.

Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;

The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 297,27 million for the public sector and ECU 41,10 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 141,0 million,
- ESF:ECU 47,0 million.
2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 44,82 million,
- ESF:ECU 14,94 million.
Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the Single Programming Document and on progress in its implementation.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 2002 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security (1) and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required, by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002, to adopt measures for the implementation of common basic standards for aviation security throughout the Community. Commission Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 of 4 April 2003 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security (2) was the first act laying down such measures.
(2) There is a need for measures to make the common basic standards more precise. As regards Threat Image Projection (TIP) performance requirements should be laid down. It should be considered to review these requirements on a regular basis and at least every 2 years to ensure that they continue to reflect technical developments, in particular as regards the size of the library of virtual images available.
(3) TIP should be used to enhance the performance of screeners, examining both cabin bags and hold bags, by means of projecting virtual images of threat articles into an x-ray image of a bag. There should be a minimum and maximum percentage of virtual images of threat articles to be projected into the images of bags. By screeners responding to images of bags, TIP should inform them if they have responded correctly in identifying the virtual image of the threat article. Furthermore, the library of virtual images used for TIP should be enlarged and refreshed on a regular basis, in order to take into account new threat articles and to avoid familiarity with the virtual images.
(4) Information about the performance requirements of security equipment, including TIP, at airports should not be placed in the public domain as it could potentially be misused to circumvent security controls. The information should only be made available to regulators and equipment manufacturers.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
of that Regulation shall apply as regards the confidential nature of this Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 2008.

Council Decision
of 19 December 2002
on trade in certain steel products between the European Community and Ukraine
(2002/1001/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, on the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part(1), provides in its Article 22(1), that trade in some steel products shall be the subject of a specific agreement.
(2) The previous bilateral agreement between the ECSC and the Government of Ukraine on trade for certain steel products expired on 31 December 2001.
(3) The Parties agreed to conclude a new agreement and the negotiations of this new agreement have not yet been completed.
(4) The European Community (EC) has taken over the international obligations of the ECSC since the expiry of the ECSC Treaty, and measures relating to trade in steel products with third countries now fall under the competence of the EC in the field of trade policy.
(5) Quantitative limits for the year 2002 have been fixed by Decision 2001/933/ECSC of the representatives of the Government of the Member States meeting within the Council of 19 December 2001(2).
(6) Pending the signature and the entry into force of the new agreement, quantitative limits for the year 2003 must be established.
(7) The Ukrainian Parliament passed a law imposing a tax of EUR 30/tonne on exports of ferrous scrap, to be applied as of 1 January 2003; this proposed tax will constitute an obstacle to the free trade of ferrous scrap and would seriously limit, if not block, exports of ferrous scrap, thereby penalising the Community steel industry and affecting adversely the Community ferrous scrap market. As a consequence, it is appropriate to reduce the quantitative limits for 2003 by 30 % compared to the quantitative limits set for 2002, pending a satisfactory solution to this issue and the conclusion of the negotiations of the new Agreement,
During the period mentioned in Annex I, imports into the European Community of steel products referred to in Annex II originating in Ukraine shall be subject to licensing. Licenses shall be issued only within the limits defined in Article 2.
Imports shall be authorised, for each product group and for the whole of the Community, up to the quantitative limits indicated in Annex I.
The period of validity of the import licence is hereby fixed at four months. Unused or partially used import licences may be renewed for two months.
Member States shall issue licences according to rules agreed within the Steel Liaison Committee and inform the Commission thereof immediately. The Commission shall keep the Member States regularly informed of the extent to which the quantities have been used up.
The Member States and the Commission shall confer in order to ensure that these quantities are not exceeded.
The provisions of the agreement on trade in certain steel products together with any measures to give effect to it, shall as from the date of entry into force of the agreement replace the provisions of this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession, and in particular Article 7 (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 489/77 (3), provides for the fixing of a minimum price for each lot of tobacco offered for sale by tender;
Whereas the agreements between the Community and the Swiss Confederation and the Republic of Austria on the application of the rules on Community transit make it possible to issue Community transit documents in Switzerland and Austria ; whereas tobacco which is exported to those countries or which has to cross those countries in order to reach the country of destination must be subject to specific measures to avoid it being reimported as a Community product;
Whereas in the case of an invitation to tender with a view to exportation, the minimum price is fixed in relation to the world market price ; whereas no export refund should therefore be granted for tobacco purchased by tender;
Whereas tobacco thus exported is in a situation comparable to that of tobacco which has qualified for an export refund ; whereas, therefore, such tobacco cannot be reimported into the Community in the manner described in Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 754/76 of 25 March 1976 on the customs treatment applicable to goods returned to the customs territory of the Community (4) ; whereas it is necessary in consequence to lay down that, in the case of such reimportation, an amount equal to the security is paid, and that this amount must be treated, pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 352/78 (5), in the same manner as a security which has been forfeited;
Whereas tobaccos for which export contracts have been awarded should be governed by the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 of 30 June 1976 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1665/78 (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
Regulation (EEC) No 3389/73 is amended as follows: 1. The text of Article 7 is amended as follows:
"Article 7
The security referred to in Article 5 may be released only if: (a) the tender was not validly submitted;
(b) the tender was unsuccessful;
(c) the successful tenderer has paid the price at which the contract was awarded and, in the case of an invitation to tender with a view to exportation, has furnished the evidence provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76.
Moreover, where the country of destination is Switzerland or Austria, or if those countries are crossed in order to reach the country of destination, the release of the security shall be subject to proof that the product has been imported by a non-member country, unless lost en route as a result of force majeure.
Such proof shall be furnished in the same way as for the export refund." (1)OJ No L 94, 28.4.1970, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 345, 15.12.1973, p. 47. (3)OJ No L 65, 11.3.1977, p. 23.

2. The following Article is inserted:
"Article 10a
1. In the case of sales for export, tobaccos must be exported within 36 months of the final date set for withdrawal of the tobacco offered for sale by tender. This period may be extended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70. Such tobaccos shall not be eligible for the export refund provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70.
2. Such tobaccos shall be considered as satisfying the provisions of Article 2 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 754/76 from the time when the customs export formalities have been completed. If the provisions of Article 2 (2) of the said Regulation apply, an amount equal to the security specified in Article 5 (1) of this Regulation must be paid. The amount shall be considered as a security which has been forfeited within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 352/78."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to sales by tendering procedure decided after that date.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Article 16 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be amended to read as follows: '3. The buying-in price shall be fixed for each product, with due regard to the characteristics of the market and in particular the extent to which prices fluctuate, at a level between:- 30 and 45 % of the basic price, in the case of cauliflowers, tomatoes and aubergines,-40 and 55 % of the basic price, in the case of apples and pears,-45 and 65 % of the basic price, in the case of the other products listed in Annex II.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply to each product concerned from the beginning of the 1986/87 marketing year.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1250/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down for the second half of 1996 certain detailed rules for the application of a tariff quota for live bovine animals weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms originating in certain third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995, establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1), as modified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1194/96 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1194/96 provides for the extension to the second half of 1996 of a tariff quota of 76 500 live bovine animals weighing between 160 and 300 kilograms originating in Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and benefiting from an 80 % reduction in the rate of customs duties provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3066/95; whereas management measures should be established for the import of those animals;
Whereas, with a view to preventing speculation, the quantity available should be made available for operators able to show that they are carrying out a genuine activity involving trade in a significant number of animals with third countries; whereas, in consideration of this and in order to ensure efficient management, a minimum of 50 animals should be required to have been exported and/or imported during the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996 by the operators concerned; whereas a batch of 50 animals in principle constitutes a normal load and whereas experience has shown that the sale or purchase of a single batch is a minimum requirement for a transaction to be considered real and viable;
Whereas, while recalling the provisions of the Agreements intended to guarantee product origin, the arrangements in question should be managed using import licences; whereas to this end rules should be set on submission of applications and the information to be given on applications and licences, by way of derogation from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2137/95 (4), and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2856/95 (6), whereas it should moreover be stipulated that licences are to be issued following a reflection period and where necessary with a flat-rate percentage reduction applied;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. As part of the tariff quotas provided for in Regulation (EC) No 3066/95, 76 500 head of live bovine animals falling within CN codes 0102 90 41 or 0102 90 49 originating in the third countries listed in Annex II may hereby be imported in the second half of 1996 in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.
2. For those animals, the ad valorem duty and the specific duties fixed in the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) shall be reduced by 80 %
In order to qualify for the quota referred to in Article 1:
(a) applicants for import licences must be natural or legal persons who, at the time applications are submitted, must prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State concerned that they have imported and/or exported during the period 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996 at least 50 animals falling within CN code 0102 90; applicants must be listed in the national VAT register;

- an indelible tattoo, or
- an official ear tag or an ear tag officially approved by the Member State on at least one of its ears.

Commission Decision
of 21 November 2003
on the adequate protection of personal data in Guernsey
(notified under document number C(2003) 4309)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/821/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data(1), and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,
After consulting the Working Party on Protection of Individuals with regard to the processing of personal data(2),
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC, Member States are required to provide that the transfer of personal data to a third country may take place only if the third country in question ensures an adequate level of protection and if the Member States' laws implementing other provisions of the Directive are complied with prior to the transfer.
(2) The Commission may find that a third country ensures an adequate level of protection. In that case, personal data may be transferred from the Member States without additional guarantees being necessary.
(3) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC the level of data protection should be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation or a set of data transfer operations, and giving particular consideration to a number of elements relevant for the transfer and listed in Article 25(2) thereof.
(4) Given the different approaches to data protection in third countries, the adequacy assessment should be carried out, and any decision based on Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC should be made and enforced in a way that does not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate against or between third countries where like conditions prevail, nor constitute a disguised barrier to trade, regard being had to the Community's present international commitments.
(5) The Bailiwick of Guernsey is one of the dependencies of the British Crown (being neither part of the United Kingdom nor a colony) that enjoys full independence, except for international relations and defence which are the responsibility of the United Kingdom Government. The Bailiwick of Guernsey should therefore be considered as a third country within the meaning of the Directive.
(6) With effect from August 1987, the United Kingdom's ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data (Convention No 108) was extended to the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
(7) As regards the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the legal standards on the protection of personal data based on the standards set out in Directive 95/46/EC have been provided for in the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2001, which entered into force on 1 August 2002.
(8) Sixteen statutory instruments (orders) have also been adopted in Guernsey in 2002, laying down specific rules concerning issues such as subject access, processing of sensitive data and notification to the data protection authority. These instruments complement the law.
(9) The legal standards applicable in Guernsey cover all the basic principles necessary for an adequate level of protection for natural persons. The application of these standards is guaranteed by judicial remedy and by independent supervision carried out by the authorities, such as the Data Protection Commissioner invested with powers of investigation and intervention.
(10) Guernsey should therefore be regarded as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data as referred to in Directive 95/46/EC.
(11) In the interest of transparency and in order to safeguard the ability of the competent authorities in the Member States to ensure the protection of individuals as regards the processing of their personal data, it is necessary to specify the exceptional circumstances in which the suspension of specific data flows may be justified, notwithstanding the finding of adequate protection.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 31(1) of Directive 95/46/EC,
For the purposes of Article 25(2) of Directive 95/46/EC, the Bailiwick of Guernsey is considered as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the Community.
This Decision concerns the adequacy of protection provided in Guernsey with a view to meeting the requirements of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC and does not affect other conditions or restrictions implementing other provisions of that Directive that pertain to the processing of personal data within the Member States.
1. Without prejudice to their powers to take action to ensure compliance with national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions other than Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC, the competent authorities in Member States may exercise their existing powers to suspend data flows to a recipient in Guernsey in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in the following cases:
(a) where a competent Guernsey authority has determined that the recipient is in breach of the applicable standards of protection; or
(b) where there is a substantial likelihood that the standards of protection are being infringed, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the competent Guernsey authority is not taking or will not take adequate and timely steps to settle the case at issue, the continuing transfer would create an imminent risk of grave harm to data subjects and the competent authorities in the Member State have made reasonable efforts in the circumstances to provide the party responsible for processing established in Guernsey with notice and an opportunity to respond.
2. The suspension shall cease as soon as the standards of protection are assured and the competent authority of the Member States concerned is notified thereof.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission without delay when measures are adopted on the basis of Article 3.
2. The Member States and the Commission shall inform each other of cases where the action of bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Guernsey fails to secure such compliance.
3. If the information collected under Article 3 and under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article provides evidence that any body responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Guernsey is not effectively fulfilling its role, the Commission shall inform the competent Guernsey authority and, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31(2) of Directive 95/46/EC with a view to repealing or suspending this Decision or limiting its scope.
The Commission shall monitor the functioning of this Decision and report any pertinent findings to the Committee established under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC, including any evidence that could affect the finding in Article 1 of this Decision, that protection in Guernsey is adequate within the meaning of Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC and any evidence that this Decision is being implemented in a discriminatory way.
Member States shall take all the measures necessary to comply with the Decision within four months of the date of its notification.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 February 2008
amending Decision 2006/601/EC on emergency measures regarding the non-authorised genetically modified organism ‘LL RICE 601’ in rice products
(notified under document number C(2008) 743)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/162/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(2) and Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (2) provide that no genetically modified food or feed is to be placed on the Community market unless it is covered by an authorisation granted in accordance with that Regulation. Article 4(3) and Article 16(3) of the same Regulation lay down that no genetically modified food and feed may be authorised unless it has been adequately and sufficiently demonstrated that it does not have adverse effects on human health, animal health or the environment, that it does not mislead the consumer or the user, and that it does not differ from the food or feed it is intended to replace to such an extent that its normal consumption would be nutritionally disadvantageous for humans or animals.
(2) Article 53(1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Community emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect human health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States concerned.
(3) In view of the presumption of risk on products not authorised according to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, Commission Decision 2006/601/EC of 5 September 2006 on emergency measures regarding the non-authorised genetically modified organism ‘LL RICE 601’ in rice products (3) required Member States not to allow the placing on the market of certain rice products originating from the United States unless the consignment is accompanied by an original analytical report issued by an accredited laboratory attesting that the product does not contain genetically modified rice ‘LL RICE 601’ and to carry out systematic official sampling and analysis of each consignment of specific products originating from the United States before their placing on the market.
(4) On 5 October 2007, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) published the results of its investigation on, in particular, the presence of ‘LL RICE 601’ in US commercial rice. While the exact mechanisms of the contamination could not be established, the findings indicate that the source of the contamination by ‘LL RICE 601’ was limited.
(5) The US Rice federation has adopted a plan aiming to remove ‘LL RICE 601’ from the US export channels. This plan includes testing of the seeds before planting, as well as documentary and analytical controls at the delivery points of the 2007 harvest. Only some aspects of this plan are subject to regulatory requirements in some US States. It is therefore necessary to ensure that all the consignments of rice originating from the United States of America imported in the European Union were subject to this plan.
(6) On 9 November 2007, USDA submitted a proposal of protocol to the Commission that would ensure that the products falling under the scope of Decision 2006/601/EC are subject to official sampling by the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) and analysed using the ‘P35S:BAR’ method referred to in Decision 2006/601/EC in a laboratory participating successfully in the dedicated proficiency program administered by GIPSA. In accordance with that protocol, the consignments of those products would be accompanied by the original of an analytical report and by a letterhead issued by GIPSA indicating that ‘LL RICE 601’ was not detected.
(7) The official involvement of the GIPSA, as described in the proposal of protocol, provides appropriate reassurances as to the quality of the controls made. As a consequence, mandatory official sampling and analysis by Member States at the point of entry into the Community is no more considered necessary.
(8) Those measures should be reviewed within six months in order to assess whether they are still necessary, in the light of their impact and of the practical experience gained on the existing testing requirements.
(9) Decision 2006/601/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2006/601/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
(a) a statement from the food business operator responsible for the consignment that the products do only contain rice, from the 2007 or a subsequent harvest, that was subject to the plan of the USA Rice federation aiming to remove “LL RICE 601” from the US export channels; and
(b) the original of an analytical report issued by a laboratory referred to in Annex II confirming that the products do not contain the genetically modified rice “LL RICE 601”. The analytical report shall be accompanied by an official document issued by the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in accordance with the protocol described in Annex II.
2. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
3. Paragraph 1 of Article 5 is replaced by the following:
4. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
5. In the heading of the Annex the word ‘Annex’ is replaced by ‘Annex I’.
6. The text in the Annex to this Decision is added as Annex II.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/128/EC
of 8 December 2006
amending and correcting Directive 95/31/EC laying down specific criteria of purity concerning sweeteners for use in foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 3(3)(a) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Food and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 94/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (2), lists those substances which may be used as sweeteners in foodstuffs.
(2) Commission Directive 95/31/EC of 5 July 1995 laying down specific criteria of purity concerning sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (3), sets out the purity criteria for the sweeteners listed in Directive 94/35/EC.
(3) It is necessary to adopt specific criteria for E 968 erythritol, a new food additive authorised by Directive 2006/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 amending Directive 95/2/EC on food additives other than colours and sweeteners and Directive 94/35/EC on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs.
(4) A number of language versions of Directive 95/31/EC contain some errors regarding the following substances: E 954 saccharin and its Na, K and Ca salts, E 955 sucralose, E 962 salt of aspartame-acesulfame, E 965 (i) maltitol, E 966 lactitol. Those errors need to be corrected. In addition it is necessary to take into account the specifications and analytical techniques for additives as set out in the Codex Alimentarius as drafted by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). In particular where appropriate, the specific purity criteria have been adapted to reflect the limits for individual heavy metals of interest. For reasons of clarity the whole text concerning those substances should be replaced.
(5) EFSA in its scientific opinion of 19 April 2006 concluded that the composition of maltitol syrup based on a new production method will be similar to that of the existing product and will be in accordance with the existing specification. It is therefore necessary to amend the definition of E 965 (ii) maltitol syrup set out in Directive 95/31/EC for E 965 by including that new production method.
(6) Directive 95/31/EC should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Directive 95/31/EC is amended and corrected in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 15 February 2008 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas it is necessary, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, to adopt provisions concerning the classification of a product put up in rolls consisting of two sheets bonded one to the other, the one of semi-bleached kraftboard with a weight of 320 g/m2 and coated on both faces with a layer of polyethylene (14 and 18 g/m2 respectively), and the other of aluminium with a weight of 26 g/m2 and of a thickness of less than 0 720 mm, coated on the outer face with a layer of polyethylene (35 or 50 g/m2);
Whereas the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3300/81 (3), refers at heading No 48.07 to "paper and paperboard, impregnated, coated, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed, (not constituting printed matter within Chapter 49), in rolls or sheets", and at heading No 76.04 to "aluminium foil (whether or not embossed, cut to shape, perforated, coated, printed, or backed with paper or other reinforcing material), of a thickness (excluding any backing) of less than 0 720 mm"; whereas both these headings may be considered for the classification of the abovementioned product;
Whereas the product in question is employed for the manufacture of packages for fruit juice, milk, etc.;
Whereas, in view of the materials used and its construction, the product in question cannot be regarded as an aluminium foil backed with paperboard and classifiable under heading No 76.04 in accordance with Note 1 (k) to Chapter 48 of the Common Customs Tariff ; whereas it is a product consisting of different materials and is to be classified in accordance with General Rule 3 (b) for the interpretation of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, considering the materials used in the manufacture of this product, it is the coated kraftboard which most allows it to be used for the abovementioned purpose and which therefore gives it its essential character ; whereas, moreover, a similar product intended for the same purpose has been classified by the Customs Cooperation Council under heading No 48.07 ; whereas the product in question has therefore to be classified under heading No 48.07 of the Common Customs Tariff and, within this heading, under subheading No 48.07 D;
Whereas the measures laid down in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature,
The product put up in rolls, consisting of two sheets bonded one to the other, the one of semi-bleached kraftboard with a weight of 320 g/m2 and coated on both faces with a layer of polyethylene (14 and 18 g/m2 respectively), and the other of aluminium with a weight of 26 g/m2 and of a thickness of less than 0 720 mm, coated on the outer face with a layer of polyethylene (35 or 50 g/m2), shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff as follows:
48.07 Paper and paperboard, impregnated, coated, surface-coloured, surface-decorated or printed (not constituting printed matter within Chapter 49), in rolls or sheets:
D. Other

Whereas the French Government has applied to the Commission of the European Communities under the first paragraph of Article 115 of the Treaty for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance in respect of meat of sheep or goats falling within CN code 0204 originating in New Zealand and put into free circulation in other Member States ;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1115/88 (3), established a common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat; whereas in the context of those arrangements the Community concluded trade agreements with certain third countries, among them New Zealand, which thereby undertook to restrain their exports of these products to certain sensitive markets, such as France; whereas, however, talks are under way with certain countries, including New Zealand, about the restrictions in respect of the French market;
Whereas in order to avoid interruption of the traditional flow of trade with New Zealand under the Community agreement while these talks are going on, the Commission adopted Decision 89/310/EEC (4) unilaterally and without prejudice to the outcome of the negotiations establishing provisional limits for 1989 in respect of imports into France of the products in question originating in New Zealand;
Whereas there are disparities in the measures applied in different Member States to imports of the products in question originating in New Zealand; whereas such disparities may give rise to deflection of trade;
Whereas information received by the Commission indicates that there has been a significant increase since the second half of 1988 in French imports of sheepmeat and goatmeat originating in New Zealand and put into free circulation in other Member States, and that there is a real risk of these imports, because of their volume and low price, causing material injury to French producers and disrupting the market;
Whereas in the circumstances it is desirable to establish the likely trend of these imports;
Whereas the information given by the French authorities has been examined closely by the Commission in accordance with the criteria laid down by Decision 87/433/EEC;
Whereas this examination has shown that the conditions for the application of surveillance measures in respect of the products in question do exist;
Whereas the French Republic should therefore be authorized to make the imports concerned subject to prior intra-Community surveillance,
The French Republic is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC until 31 December 1989 to imports of meat of sheep and goats, fresh, chilled or frozen, falling within CN code 0204, originating in New Zealand.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1115/2001
of 6 June 2001
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 June 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(notified under document number C(2005) 5003)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/928/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Directive 90/544/EEC of 9 October 1990 on the frequency bands designated for the coordinated introduction of pan-European land-based public radio paging in the Community (the ERMES Directive) (2) was repealed on 27 December 2005 by Directive 2005/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That Directive required Member States to designate in the 169,4 to 169,8 MHz radio spectrum band four channels for the pan-European land-based public radio paging service (hereinafter referred to as ‘ERMES’) and to ensure that ERMES services occupy, as quickly as possible, the whole of the 169,4 to 169,8 MHz radio spectrum band according to commercial demand.
(2) The use of the 169,4 to 169,8 MHz radio spectrum band for ERMES in the Community has decreased dramatically or even ceased altogether, with the result that this radio spectrum band is not being efficiently utilised by ERMES and could therefore be better used to fulfil other Community policy needs.
(3) Pursuant to Article 4(2) of the Radio Spectrum Decision, the Commission issued on 7 July 2003 a mandate to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (hereinafter referred as ‘CEPT’) to collect information on the current and future possible applications of the 169,4 to 169,8 MHz band, to identify a list of alternative options for the use of the radio spectrum band and in particular those which are not related only to traditional electronic communications. The CEPT was asked to evaluate, for each possible application, co-existence between various applications and the possibility of using alternative radio spectrum bands, in line with the principles of the Framework Directive. The radio spectrum band, which is already partially harmonised, is appropriate for certain applications related to the establishment and functioning of the internal market in a number of Community policy areas, among which some are likely to benefit disabled people or assist justice and home affairs collaboration in the European Union.
(4) Article 8(4) of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for the electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (4) requires Member States to promote the interests of European Union citizens by inter alia addressing the needs of specific social groups, in particular hearing impaired persons and persons requiring urgent assistance.
(5) Based on technical investigations and on collection of information, the CEPT confirmed that despite the adoption of Directive 90/544/EEC, the use of this radio spectrum band for ERMES has remained very limited and that the need for radio messaging or paging systems has changed in Europe as the functions thereof have been replaced by other technologies such as short messaging systems (SMS) over GSM.
(6) The designation of parts of the 169,4 to 169,8 MHz radio spectrum band for ERMES should therefore be modified in the Community in order to ensure more efficient use of this radio spectrum band, while preserving its harmonised character.
(7) As mandated, the CEPT has produced a new frequency plan and channel arrangement allowing six types of preferred applications to share the radio spectrum band from 169,4 up to 169,8125 MHz, in order to meet several Community policy needs. These needs include assistance through the use of hearing aids to persons suffering from hearing disability, for whom a harmonised radio spectrum band in the Community would improve travelling conditions between Member States and reduce equipment prices through economies of scale; the development of the internal market for social alarms, which allow elderly or disabled people to send alarm messages for assistance, asset tracking or tracing devices, which would assist in tracking and recovering stolen goods across the Community, meter reading systems used by water and electricity utility companies; and existing paging systems such as ERMES as well as private mobile radio systems (PMR) when employed for temporary use, to assist in the coverage of special temporary events for a period of a few days up to a few months.
(8) The results of the mandate to the CEPT, which the Commission regards as satisfactory, should be made applicable in the Community and implemented by the Member States. The remaining ERMES and/or PMR authorisations which are not in conformity with the new frequency plan and channel arrangement should be allowed to remain unaffected until their expiry or until ERMES and/or PMR applications can be moved to the appropriate radio spectrum bands without excessive burden.
(9) When allowing access to radio spectrum the least onerous authorisation system should be used, in accordance with Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (Authorisation Directive) (5), including absence of individual rights of use.
(10) Without prejudice to the fact that spectrum requirements of specific policies may require exclusive frequency designations, it is generally appropriate to propose as generic allocations as possible for radio spectrum bands so as to steer their usage only by defining specific usage constraints such as duty cycle or power levels, and to ensure through harmonised standards recognised under the Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (6) that equipment operating in the allocated radio spectrum minimises use of the radio spectrum in a way to avoid harmful interference.
(11) Coordination of channels in the high power part of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz band between neighbouring countries will be ensured by bi- or multilateral agreements.
(12) In order to ensure effective use of the 169,4 to 169,8125 MHz band also in the longer term administrations should continue with studies that may increase efficiency, in particular the utilisation of the identified guard band.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee.
Subject matter
The subject matter of this Decision is the harmonisation of the conditions for the availability and efficient use of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz radio spectrum band in the Community.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Decision,
(a) ‘hearing aid’ means a radio communications system which usually includes one or more radio transmitters and one or more radio receivers allowing persons suffering from hearing disability to increase their listening capability;
(b) ‘social alarm’ means a reliable radio communications system and network including portable equipment which allows a person in distress in a limited area to initiate a call for assistance by a simple manipulation;
(c) ‘meter reading system’ means a system which allows remote status monitoring, measuring and service commands using radio communication devices;
(d) ‘tracing and asset tracking system’ means a system which allows the tracing and tracking of goods, leading to their recovery, consisting in general of an radio transmitter placed on the item to be protected and a receiver and may also include an alarm;
(e) ‘paging system’ means a system allowing one-way radio communications between the sender and the receiver using a base station with the mobile as a receiver;
(f) ‘private mobile radio communications (PMR)’ means a land mobile communications service using simplex, half duplex and possibly full duplex modes at the terminal level to provide closed user group communications.
Harmonised applications
1. The 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz band shall be divided into a low power part and a high power part. Its frequency plan and the channelling arrangements shall be laid down in the Annex to this Decision.
2. The low power part of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz radio spectrum band shall accommodate the following preferred applications:
(a) exclusive use for hearing aids;
(b) exclusive use for social alarms;
(c) non-exclusive use for meter reading systems;

3. The high power part of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz band shall accommodate the following preferred applications:
(a) high power transmitters for tracing and asset tracking systems;
(b) existing paging systems or paging systems relocating from other channels in the radio spectrum band.
4. Alternative applications for the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz radio spectrum band may be implemented provided that they do not constrain the harmonised implementation of the preferred applications. These alternative applications shall be:
(a) hearing aids, for the non-exclusive, low power part of the radio spectrum band;
(b) tracing, paging, temporary use or private mobile radio communications on a national basis in the high power part of the band.
5. The maximum radiated power in the low power part of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz radio spectrum band shall be limited to 0,5 Watt effective radiated power (e.r.p.). The maximum duty cycles for the meter reading systems and tracing and asset tracking system in the low power part of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz radio spectrum band shall be < 10 % and < 1 % respectively.
6. The use of the 169,4 – 169,8125 MHz radio spectrum band by paging systems and private mobile radio communications that is authorised at the date of notification of this Decision and which is not in conformity with Article 3 paragraphs 1 to 5, may continue for as long as the authorisations for such services, existing at the date of notification of this Decision, remain valid.
Implementation of Article 3
shall apply from 27 December 2005.

of 22 February 2008
concerning the authorisation of a new use of the preparation of Bacillus cereus var. toyoi (Toyocerin) as a feed additive
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authoårisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns authorisation of a new use of the microorganism preparation Bacillus cereus var. toyoi NCIMB 40112/CNCM I-1012 (Toyocerin) for turkeys for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of that microorganism preparation was permanently authorised for piglets under 2 months and sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 256/2002 (2), piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1453/2004 (3), cattle for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 255/2005 (4) and rabbits for fattening and chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (5).
(5) New data were submitted in support of the application for authorisation for turkeys for fattening. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 19 September 2007 that the microorganism preparation Bacillus cereus var. toyoi NCIMB 40112/CNCM I-1012 (Toyocerin) does not have an adverse effect on consumers, users or the environment (6). According to that opinion, the use of that preparation does not have an adverse effect on this additional animal category and it is efficacious in improving weight gain, feed intake and feed utilisation. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 June 2008
on the harmonisation of the 2 500-2 690 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Community
(notified under document number C(2008) 2625)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/477/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission has supported a more flexible use of spectrum in its Communication on ‘Rapid access to spectrum for wireless electronic communications services through more flexibility’ (2), which, inter alia, addresses the 2 500-2 690 MHz band. Technological neutrality and service neutrality have been underlined by Member States in the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) opinion on Wireless Access Policy for Electronic Communications Services (WAPECS) of 23 November 2005 as important policy goals to achieve a more flexible use of spectrum. Moreover, according to this opinion, these policy goals should not be introduced abruptly, but in a gradual manner to avoid disruption of the market.
(2) The designation of the 2 500-2 690 MHz band for systems capable of providing electronic communications services is an important element addressing the convergence of the mobile, fixed and broadcasting sectors and reflecting technical innovation. The services provided in this frequency band should mainly target end-user access to broadband communications.
(3) It is expected that the wireless broadband electronic communications services for which the 2 500-2 690 MHz band is to be designated will to a large extent be pan-European in the sense that users of such electronic communications services in one Member State could also gain access to equivalent services in any other Member State.
(4) Pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, on 5 July 2006 the Commission gave a mandate to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (hereinafter the CEPT) to develop least restrictive technical conditions for frequency bands addressed in the context of WAPECS.
(5) In response to that mandate, the CEPT has issued a report (CEPT Report 19) on least restrictive technical conditions for frequency bands addressed in the context of WAPECS. This report contains technical conditions and guidance for the application of least restrictive conditions to base stations and terminal stations operating in the 2 500-2 690 MHz band, which are appropriate to manage the risk of harmful interference within as well as outside of national territories, without requiring that any type of particular technology is used, based on optimised parameters for the most likely use of the band.
(6) In accordance with CEPT Report 19 this Decision introduces the concept of Block Edge Masks (BEM), which are technical parameters that apply to the entire block of spectrum of a specific user, irrespective of the number of channels occupied by the user's chosen technology. These masks are intended to form part of the authorisation conditions for spectrum usage. They cover both emissions within the block of spectrum (i.e. in-block power) as well as emissions outside the block (i.e. out-of-block emission). They are regulatory requirements aimed at managing the risk of harmful interference between neighbouring networks and are without prejudice to limits set in equipment standards under Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (3) (the R&TTE Directive).
(7) The designation and making available of the 2 500-2 690 MHz band in accordance with the results of the mandate to CEPT recognises the fact that there are other existing applications. Appropriate sharing criteria for coexistence between some systems have been developed in the Electronic Communications Committee's ECC Report 45. For other systems and services appropriate sharing criteria for coexistence may be based on national considerations.
(8) To achieve compatibility a separation of 5 MHz is needed between the edges of spectrum blocks used for unrestricted TDD (time division duplex) and FDD operation (frequency division duplex) or in the case of two unsynchronised networks operating in TDD mode. Such separation should be achieved by either leaving these 5 MHz blocks unused as guard blocks; or through usage that complies with parameters of the restricted BEM when adjacent to an FDD (uplink) or between two TDD blocks; or through usage that complies with parameters of either restricted or unrestricted BEMs when adjacent to an FDD (downlink) block. Any usage of a 5 MHz guard block is subject to an increased risk of interference.
(9) The results of the mandate to the CEPT should be made applicable in the Community and implemented by the Member States without delay given the increasing requirements identified in studies at European and global levels for terrestrial electronic communications services providing broadband communications.
(10) Harmonisation under this Decision should not exclude the possibility for a Member State to apply, where justified, transitional periods that could include radio spectrum sharing arrangements, pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Radio Spectrum Decision.
(11) In order to ensure effective use of the 2 500-2 690 MHz band also in the longer term, administrations should continue with studies that may increase efficiency and innovative use. Such studies should be taken into account when considering a review of this Decision.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
This Decision aims at harmonising the conditions for the availability and efficient use of the 2 500-2 690 MHz band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Community.
1. No later than six months after entry into force of this Decision Member States shall designate and subsequently make available, on a non-exclusive basis, the 2 500-2 690 MHz band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services, in compliance with the parameters set out in the Annex to this Decision.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States may request transitional periods that may include radio spectrum sharing arrangements, pursuant to Article 4(5) of Decision No 676/2002/EC.
3. Member States shall ensure that systems referred to in paragraph 1 give appropriate protection to systems in adjacent bands.
Member States shall keep the use of the 2 500-2 690 MHz band under scrutiny and report their findings to the Commission to allow regular and timely review of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, Germany’s application to register the name ‘Holsteiner Tilsiter’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(3).
(3) Dairy Australia Limited, the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand and the Consortium for Common Food Names lodged statements of objection to that registration pursuant to Article 7(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Those statements of objection were deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.
(4) The abovementioned statements of objection stressed, in particular, that registering the name in question would jeopardise the existence of names, trade marks or products which had been marketed legally for at least five years before the publication date provided for in Article 6(2), and that the name proposed for registration was generic.
(5) By letter of 2 May 2013 the Commission asked the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations.
(6) Agreement was reached between Germany and the objecting parties within the stipulated three-month period and notified to the Commission on 16 July 2013.
(7) It emerges from the abovementioned consultations that the objecting parties’ main concern relates to the status of the terms ‘Tilsit’ and ‘Tilsiter’ only, the latter being contained in the composite name ‘Holsteiner Tilsiter’. However, the protection sought by the producer relates only to the said composite name as a whole. Pursuant to the last subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the names ‘Tilsit’ and ‘Tilsiter’ may continue to be used within the territory of the Union provided that the principles and rules applicable under the Union’s legal system are complied with.
(8) The name ‘Holsteiner Tilsiter’ should therefore be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications,
The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register.
Notwithstanding the first paragraph, the names ‘Tilsit’ and ‘Tilsiter’ may continue to be used within the territory of the Union provided that the principles and rules applicable under the Union’s legal system are complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth 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.

of 15 February 1989
continuing the promotional and publicity measures in respect of milk and milk products referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 723/78
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a co-responsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2234/88 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the promotional and publicity measures first carried out pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 723/78 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1223/78 (4) and last continued by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 664/88 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2062/88 (6), have proved an effective means of expanding the markets in milk products in the Community; whereas they should therefore be continued during the 1989/90 milk year;
Whereas the organizations representing the dairy sector in one or more Member States or in the Community should be invited again to propose detailed programmes which these organizations would themselves carry out;
Whereas the organizations who will be responsible for the measures must satisfy certain requirements; whereas, in particular, care must be taken to ensure that Community milk products are promoted; whereas the guidelines to be followed in this context were laid down in Commission communication 86/C 272/03 concerning State involvement in the promotion of agricultural and fisheries products (7); whereas the activities of such operators must not be liable to clash with the aim pursued in promoting the disposal of milk products for direct consumption; whereas it is therefore essential that operators whose activities also cover the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products should be barred;
Whereas an integrated market survey should be carried out again to ascertain the effectiveness of the measures implemented;
Whereas the other rules can, for the most part, be drawn from the earlier Regulations, account being taken of relevant experience;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
1. Publicity and promotional measures advocating human consumption of milk and milk products in the Community shall be encouraged under the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
2. The following shall qualify as measures within the meaning of paragraph 1:
- seminars, courses and conferences designed to provide personnel engaged ion marketing milk and milk products with information and training or to aid such persons in spreading awareness about the consumption of these products;
- the implementation of an integrated market survey to ascertain the effectivenss of the measures carried out.
3. These measures shall be carried out within a year of the signature of the contract referred to in Article 5 (3) and in any case before 1 July 1990. However, a longer time limit may be agreed in exceptional cases in accordance with Article 5 (2) to ensure maximum effectiveness of the measure in question.
4. The time limit fixed in paragraph 3 shall not prevent subsequent agreement to an extension of that limit where the party to a contract; before the fixed expiry date, makes the appropriate application to the competent authority and proves that, due to exceptional circumstances beyond his control, he is unable to meet the deadline originally stipulated. However, this extension may not exceed six months.
5. Subject to a contract as referred to in Article 5 (3) being concluded, measures carried out from 1 February 1989 shall be eligible for the Community contribution and in the case of concentrated butter this date shall be 1 January 1989.
1. The publicity and promotional measures referred to in Article 1 (1) and (2):
(a) shall be proposed by organizations representing the dairy sector in one or more Member States or in the Community;
(b) shall be limited to the territory of the Member State or States whose dairy sector is represented by the organization concerned;
(c) shall be carried out as far as possible by the organization which has made the proposal. In cases where this organization must use subcontractors, the proposal must contain a duly justified request for a derogation;
(d) must:
- make use of the publicity media best suited to ensure maximum effectiveness for the measure undertaken,
- take account of the particular conditions obtaining with regard to the marketing and consumption of milk and milk products in the various regions of the Community,
- be of a general nature and not orientated towards the brands of particular firms,
- promote Community milk products without reference to their country or region of manufacture; however, this condition does not exclude the mention of the traditional name of a product which includes a specified locality, region or country of the Community,
- not replace similar measures but, where appropriate, expand them;
Proposals put forward by organizations whose activites are exclusively or in part concerned with the production, distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products shall not be taken into consideration.
2. The integrated market survey shall be proposed and carried out by institutes which:
(a) have the necessary qualifications and experience;
(b) ensure the satisfactory completion of the work.
3. The Community contribution shall be limited to 90 % of the expenditure incurred. However, the contribution is increased to 100 % in the case of measures for the promotion of concentrated butter and for the implementation of the integrated market survey.
4. For the purposes of applying paragraph 3, no account shall be taken of administrative expenses incurred in carrying out these measures; this does not apply to measures referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2).
5. Financing of general expenses incurred in carrying out the measures referred to in Article 1 (1) and (2) shall be limited to 2 % of the total amount approved to a maximum of ECU 10 000.
1. The parties referred to in Article 2 (1) (a) shall be invited to transmit to the competent authority appointed by their Member State, hereinafter called 'the competent authority', detailed proposals concerning the measures referred to in Article 1 (1) and (2).
Should the proposed measures be carried out wholly or partly in the territory of one or more Member States other than that in which the head office of the organization concerned is situated, the organization shall send a copy of its proposal to each of the competent authorities in the countries concerned.
2. Proposals must reach the competent authority before 1 April 1989. Where this date is not complied with, the proposal shall be considered null and void.
3. Further details for submission of proposals shall be as set out in the notice from the competent authorities published in Official Journal of the European Communities No C 312 of 6 December 1986, page 7.
1. Complete proposals shall include:
(a) the name and address of the party concerned:
(b) all details concerning the measures proposed, indicating the time required for completion, the expected results and any third parties which may be involved;
(c) the price asked for these measures, net of taxes, expressed in the currency of the Member State in the territory of which the party concerned is established, giving an itemized breakdown of this amount and showing the corresponding financing plan;
(d) the desired form of payment of the Community contribution in accordance with Article 7 (1) (a), (b) or (c);
(e) the most recent report available on the party's activities, unless this is already in the possession of the competent authority.
2. A proposal shall be valid only where:
(a) it is submitted by a party fulfilling the conditions laid down in Article 2 (1) (a);
(b) it is accompanied by an undertaking:
- to comply with the provisions of this Regulation,
- to spend on publicity measures, in addition to the measures proposed in accordance with Article 1 (1) and (2), the average amount spent annually on such measures during the period 1 January 1975 to 31 December 1977.
1. Before 1 May 1989, the competent authorities shall:
(a) examine all proposals submitted and any supporting documents to check that they are in the correct form and contain the information required. They shall ensure that the proposals comply with the provisions of Article 4 and shall ask applications for further details if necessary;
(b) compile a list of all the proposals received and send it to the Commission together with copies of each proposal and a reasoned opinion indicating whether or not the proposal conforms with the Regulation. 2. After consulting the relevant interested groups in the milk industry, and following examination of the proposals by the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products in accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1), the Commission shall establish before 1 June 1989 a list of the proposals selected for financing.
3. The competent authorities shall conclude contracts for the measures selected with the parties concerned before 1 August 1989, in at least two copies and signed by the interested party and the competent authority.
The competent authorities shall for this purpose use the standard from contracts to be provided by the Commission.
4. The competent authority shall inform each applicant as soon as possible of the decision taken in respect of his proposal.
1. The contract referred to in Article 5 (3) shall:
(a) include the details referred to in Article 4 (1) or make reference to them;
(b) supplement these details, where necessary, by additional provisions arising from the application of Article 5 (1);
2. The competent authority shall send the contract to the Commission without delay.

(a) within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract, a single payment on account amounting to 60 % of the agreed Comunity contribution; or
(b) at two-monthly intervals, four equal instalments each amounting to 20 % of the agreed Community contribution, the first such instalment being paid within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract; or
(c) within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract, a single payment on account amounting to 80 % of the agreed Community contribution; however, this form of payment may be stipulated only for measures which will be fully ocmpleted within a maximum of two months of the date of signature of the contract.
However, while a contract is being performed, the competent authority may:
- defer payment of an instalment either wholly or in part where it finds, in particular during the checks referred to in Article 6 (3), irregularities in carrying out the measures concerned or a substantial interval between the due date for payment of the instalment and the date when the party concerned will actually incur the forecast expenditure,
- in exceptional cases, advance payment of an instalment either wholly or in part if the party concerned submits a reasoned request and shows that he must incur a substantial part of the expenditure significantly earlier than the date laid down for payment of the Community contribution towards the said expenditure.
2. The payment of such instalment shall be conditional upon the lodging with the competent authority of a security equal to the amount of the instalments, plus 10 %.
3. The release of securities and payment of the balance by the competent authority shall be subject to:
(a) confirmation by the competent authority that the party concerned fulfilled its obligations as laid down in the contract;
(b) transmission to the competent authority of the report referred to in Article 8 (1) and verification of the details contained in his report by the competent authoritiy.

of 29 October 1999
amending an item in the specification for the name "Idiazรกbal" listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 on the registration of geographical indications and designations of origin under the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1068/97(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the Spanish Government has requested that an item be amended in the specification for the name "Idiazรกbal", registered as a protected designation of origin by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1070/1999(4). The amendment sets the pH range for the cheese of that name at 4,9 to 5,5 instead of the present 5,1 to 5,8;
(2) that application has been considered and the amendment has been deemed a minor one. This conclusion is based on the findings of numerous pH tests conducted on the cheese. Those tests have shown that the range set when the name was registered does not quite fit the facts. The range must therefore be adjusted to bring it into line with the true situation. This adjustment has been shown to have no effect on the link between the product in question and the demarcated area or on the conditions regarding maturing in particular. Furthermore, the adjustment does not affect the rights of other producers;
(3) in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the Commission decided on 9 September 1999 that since a minor amendment was involved, the procedure laid down in Article 6 of that Regulation need not be applied;
(4) the Commission also took the view that the amendment complied with Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. The amendment to the pH range for the cheese of the name "Idiazรกbel" must accordingly be registered and published,
The amendment to the pH range for the cheese covered by the protected designation of orign "Idiazรกbal" from the present 5,1 to 5,8 to 4,9 to 5,5 is hereby registered and published in accordance with Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) Geographical and seasonal particularities render it appropriate that detailed rules for separator trawls or nets with a sorting grid to be used in shrimp fisheries should be established by Member States for fishing vessels flying their flag and registered in the Community. Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 850/98(4) should therefore be amended.
(2) Recent scientific advice indicates that quantities of sand eels within an area off the northeast coast of England and the east coast of Scotland are currently insufficient to support both fisheries upon them and the requirements of various species for which sand eels are a major component of their diet and that a closure of fisheries for sandeels in this area is therefore required.
(3) Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 850/98 should be redrafted to provide greater clarity with regard to its applicability.
(4) Minimum sizes for a number of crustaceans and bivalve molluscs should be revised or introduced.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 850/98 should therefore be amended,
Regulation (EC) No 850/98 is hereby amended as follows:
