COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2882/91 of 30 September 1991 fixing for the 1991/92 marketing year the reference prices for artichokes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1623/91 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas artichokes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas artichokes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from October to September of the following year; whereas the quantities harvested in the months July to October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1991/92 marketing year, the reference prices for artichokes (CN code 0709 10 00), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- from 1 November to 31 December 1991: 89,99,
- from 1 January to 30 April 1992: 79,35,
- May 1992: 74,95,
- June 1992: 63,95.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1991. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86 lays down the conditions under which quantitative limits may be established; whereas imports into the Community of certain textile products (category 36) specified in the Annex hereto and originating in South Korea have exceeded the level referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article 11;
Whereas imports of these products into France and Italy are already subject to regional quantitative limits for the years 1987 to 1991 by Regulation (EEC) No 4136;
Whereas the Agreement on trade in textile products between South Korea and the Community, applied since 1 January 1987, has been extended until the end of 1992 by an exchange of letters initialled on 16 October 1991 and due to be applied provisionally from 1 January 1992;
Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 5 of the said Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86, on 11 November 1991 South Korea was notified of a request for consultations; whereas, pending a mutually satisfactory solution, the Commission has requested South Korea for a provisional period of three months to limits its exports to Germany, Benelux, United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal of products falling within category 36 to the provisional quantitative limits set out in the annex with effect from the date of the request for consultations;
Whereas pending the outcome of the requested consultations quantitative limits identical to those requested of the supplier country should be applied provisionally to imports of the category of products in question;
Whereas Article 11 (13) ensures that the quantitative limits are observed by means of a double-checking system in accordance with Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86;
Whereas the products in question exported from South Korea between 11 November 1991 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation must be set off against the quantitative limits which have been introduced;
Whereas these quantitative limits should not prevent the importation of products covered by them shipped from South Korea before the date of entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 2, imports into Germany, Benelux, United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal of the category of products originating in South Korea and specified in the Annex hereto shall be subject to the provisional quantitative limits set out in that Annex.
1. Products referred to in Article 1 shipped from South Korea to Germany, Benelux, United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal before the date of entry into force of this Regulation and not yet released for free circulation, shall be so released subject to the presentation of a bill of lading or other transport document providing that shipment actually took place during that period.
2. The provisional limits referred to in Article 1 shall not prevent the importation of products covered by them but shipped from South Korea before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
1. Imports of products referred to in Article 1, shipped from South Korea to Germany, Benelux, United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal after the entry into force of this Regulation shall be subject to the double-checking system described in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 4136/86.
2. All quantities of such products shipped from South Korea to Germany, Benelux, United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Portugal on or after 11 November 1991 and released for free circulation shall be deducted from the quantitative limits laid down.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 11 November 1991 until 10 February 1992. 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 (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX to Regulation.
(2) The January subperiod is the first subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(a), (b), (c) and (d) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98.

2. The classification of the products covered by this Regulation is based on the tariff and statistical nomenclature of the Community (hereinafter called the 'combined nomenclature', or in abbreviated form 'CN'). The origin of the products covered by this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community.
3. For the period 1 January to 31 December 1996, imports into the Community of the products originating in the exporting countries listed in Annexes I to III shall, in addition, be subject to the issue of an export document issued by the competent authorities of the exporting country.

4. An export document will not be required for goods originating in the Slovak Republic already shipped to the Community before 1 January 1996, provided that the destination of such products is not changed and that those products which, under the prior surveillance regime applicable in 1995, may be put into free circulation only on production of an import document are in fact accompanied by such a document.

The importer shall also submit a copy of the contract of sale or purchase, the pro forma invoice and/or, in cases where the goods are not directly purchased in the country of production, a certificate of production issued by the producing steel mill.
4. Import documents may be used only for such time as arrangements for liberalization of imports remain in force in respect of the transactions concerned. Without prejudice to possible changes in the import regulations in force or decisions taken in the framework of an agreement or the management of a quota:
- the period of validity of the import document is hereby fixed at four months,
- unused or partly used import documents may be renewed for an equal period.
1. A finding that the unit price at which the transaction is effected exceeds that indicated in the import document by less than 5 % or that the total value or quantity of the products presented for import exceeds the value or quantity given in the import document by less than 5 % shall not preclude the release for free circulation of the products in question.
2. Applications for import documents and the documents themselves shall be confidential. They shall be restricted to the competent authorities and the applicant.
1. Within the first 10 days of each month, the Member States shall communicate to the Commission:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1) and, in particular Article 6(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is to ensure that proper and effective measures are taken to detect and control salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health.
(2) A Community target was established for the reduction of the prevalence of all salmonella serotypes with public health significance in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus at the level of primary production by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus and amending Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 (2).
(3) In order to achieve the Community target Member States are to establish national programmes for the control of salmonella in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus and submit them to the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003.
(4) Bulgaria has submitted its national programme for the control of salmonella in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus.
(5) The programme submitted by Bulgaria was found to comply with relevant Community veterinary legislation and in particular with Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003.
(6) The national control programme submitted by Bulgaria should therefore be approved.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The national programme for the control of salmonella in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus submitted by Bulgaria is approved.
This Decision shall apply from 1 February 2008.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/26/EC
of 7 May 2007
amending Directive 2004/6/EC to extend its period of application
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (1) and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2001/15/EC of 15 February 2001 on substances that may be added for specific nutritional purposes in foods for particular nutritional uses (2) specifies certain categories of substances and mentions for each of them the chemical substances that may be used in the manufacture of foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses.
(2) At the time of the adoption of Directive 2001/15/EC a number of chemical substances added for specific nutritional purposes to some foods for particular nutritional uses, which are marketed in some Member States, could not be included in the Annex to that Directive because they had not been evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Food.
(3) Pending the completion of the evaluation of those substances by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Commission Directive 2004/6/EC (3) provides that Member States may continue to allow in their territory trade in products containing the substances concerned, in so far as certain conditions are fulfilled regarding their safety, until 31 December 2006.
(4) It was not possible to complete the evaluations and associated administrative actions prior to 31 December 2006. Therefore, with a view to avoiding unnecessary disruption in the trade of the foodstuffs concerned, the application of Directive 2004/6/EC should be extended.
(5) To take into account the time needed for the completion of the evaluation of the substances by the EFSA and for the transposition of the associated measures into the national legislation it is appropriate to provide for an extension of the period of application of Directive 2004/6/EC to 31 December 2009.
(6) The date of 31 December 2006 provided for in Article 1 of Directive 2004/6/EC makes it necessary that the present Directive should be transposed within a short deadline. In order to avoid difficulties with the trade in products containing the substances listed in Directive 2004/6/EC, it is appropriate for the present directive to apply from 1 January 2007.
(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,
In Article 1 of Directive 2004/6/EC, the date of ‘31 December 2006’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2009’.
Transposition
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 8 July 2007 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 January 2007.
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 day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Directive 92/14/EEC exempts the aeroplanes listed in the Annex thereto, provided, in particular, that they continue to be used by natural or legal persons established in the country in which those aeroplanes were registered during a specific reference period.
(2) Article 9a of Directive 92/14/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 98/20/EC(3), provides for a simplified procedure for amendments to the Annex, with a view to ensuring full conformity with the eligibility criteria.
(3) Since the entry into force of Directive 1999/28/EC, which first amended the Annex to Directive 92/14/EEC on the basis of the simplified procedure, some aeroplanes included in the Annex have been destroyed, whilst others have been removed from the register of the relevant country; the corresponding entries for such aeroplanes should, therefore, be deleted from the Annex.
(4) Some qualifying aeroplanes will reach 25 years of age in the course of 2001; the appropriate entries should, therefore, be inserted in the Annex.
(5) It is also desirable to update the Annex in the light of any supervening changes to the registration code, or to the operator, of an aircraft already included.
(6) The limited nature and scope of the amendments to the Annex as well as the urgency justify a change in the type of legal instrument employed.
(7) It is necessary for this Regulation to enter into force as a matter of urgency, in order to make available to interested parties, without delay, the exemptions which it provides.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Aviation Safety Regulation Committee(4) established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonisation of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation(5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2871/2000(6),
The Annex to Directive 92/14/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
COUNCIL DECISION of 20 June 1989 on a specific research and technological development programme in the field of marine science and technology (MAST) (89/413/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 130q (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 130k of the Treaty states that the framework programme is to be implemented through specific programmes developed within each activity;
Whereas, by its Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC (4), as amended by Decision 88/193/EEC, Euratom (5), the Council has adopted a framework programme for Community research and technological development (1987 to 1991), providing, inter alia, for activities in the exploitation of the sea bed and the use of marine resources;
Whereas Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC stipulates that a particular aim of Community research must be to strengthen the scientific and technological basis of European industry, particularly in strategic sectors of advanced technology, and to encourage industry by making it more competitive at the international level, and whereas the same Decision also lays down that Community action is justified if it contributes, among other things, to strengthening the Community's economic and social cohesion and to promoting its overall harmonious development, while at the same time being consistent with the pursuit of scientific and technical excellence; whereas the MAST programme is planned to contribute to the pursuit of these objectives;
Whereas the European Parliament has stressed the need for cooperation, coordination and complementarity of national
policies in the field of oceanography and marine technology and has recommended that the Commission should undertake a number of actions to that effect under the framework programme, including a specific programme for marine science and technology;
Whereas other Community programmes (e.g. environmental protection, climatology and natural hazards, fisheries, technological development in the hydrocarbons sector, non-nuclear energy and some activities of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) have a bearing on topics in marine science and technology, but none are directed specifically at marine research;
Whereas in the present context of expanding industrialization, increasing pressure is being placed on the marine and especially the coastal environment;
Whereas it is widely recognized that a good knowledge base and reliable predictive techniques are essential for long-term management and protection strategies for the marine environment; whereas to achieve these objectives much can be gained from effective coordination of the research programmes of the Member States and joint execution of European projects in marine science and technology would be beneficial;
Whereas participation by certain European third countries in a Community research and development programme in marine science and technology would be beneficial;
Whereas the Scientific and Technical Research Committee (CREST) has given its opinion,
A specific research and technological development programme for the European Economic Community in the field of marine science and technology (MAST), as defined in Annex I, is hereby adopted for a period of three years, starting on 28 June 1989.
The funds estimated as necessary for the Community contribution to the execution of the programme amount to ECU 50 million, including expenditure on a staff of 13.
An indicative breakdown of these funds is set out in Annex II.
Detailed rules for the implementation of the programme are set out in Annex III.
During the second year of implementation, the Commission shall review the programme and send a report on the results of its review to the European Parliament and the Council. This report shall be accompanied where necessary by proposals for the amendment or extension of the programme.
At the end of the programme, an evaluation of the results achieved shall be conducted by the Commission which shall report thereon to the European Parliament and the Council.
The abovementioned reports shall be established having regard to the objectives set out in Annex I to this Decision and in accordance with Article 2 (2) of Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC.
The Commission shall be responsible for the execution of the programme.
The Commission shall be assisted by a committee of an advisory nature, hereinafter referred to as ´the Committee' composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission.
Contracts concluded by the Commission shall govern the rights and obligations of each party, in particular arrangements for the dissemination, protection and exploitation or research results.
1. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall deliver its opinion within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to urgency of the matter, if necessary by taking a vote.
2. The opinion shall be recorded in the minutes of the Committee; in addition, each Member State shall have the right to have its opinion recorded in the minutes.
3. The Commission shall take the utmost account of the opinion delivered by the Committee. It shall inform the Committee of the manner in which its opinion has been taken into account.
The procedures laid down in Article 6 shall apply in particular to:
- the contents for the call for proposals,
- the assessment of the proposed projects and the estimated amount of the Community's contribution to them,
- departures from the general rules governing Community participation set out in Annex III,
- the participation in any project by non-Community organizations and enterprises referred to in Article 8 (3),
- any adaptation of the indicative breakdown of funds set out in Annex II,
- the measures to be undertaken to evaluate the programme,
- arrangements for the dissemination, protection and exploitation of the results of research carried out under the programme.
1. The Commission is hereby authorized to negotiate, in accordance with Article 130n of the Treaty, agreements with international organizations, those third States participating in European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST), and those European countries having concluded framework agreements in scientific and technical cooperation with the Community, with a view to associating them wholly or partly with the programme.
2. Before entering into the negotiations referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall consult the Council on the advisability and on the terms of reference of these negotiations and shall take full account of the Council's views.
3. Where framework agreements for scientific and technical cooperation between European third countries and
the European Communities have been concluded, organizations and enterprises established in those countries may, on the basis of the criterion of mutual advantage, become partners in a project undertaken within the programme.
No contractor established outside the Community who participates as a partner in a project undertaken within the programme shall be entitled to Community financing intended for the programme. The contractor will contribute to general administrative expenses.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 of 19 December 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application in the beef and veal sector of Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia. However, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries.
(2) The applications for import licences submitted between 1 to 10 September 2005, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the quantities available from those States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 17 December 2014
amending Implementing Decision 2013/770/EU in order to transform the ‘Consumers, Health and Food Executive Agency’ into the ‘Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency’
(2014/927/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for executive agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community programmes (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Implementing Decision 2013/770/EU (2), the Commission created the Consumers, Health and Food Executive Agency (‘the Agency’) and entrusted it with the management of the Union programmes in the field of consumers and health for the period 2014 to 2020 and the management of the food safety training measures covered by Council Directive 2000/29/EC (3) and Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). The Agency has demonstrated its effectiveness and efficiency.
(2) In its communication of 29 June 2011‘A budget for Europe 2020’ (5), the Commission proposed to use the option of more extensive recourse to existing executive agencies for the implementation of Union programmes in the next multiannual financial framework.
(3) The management of information provision and promotion measures concerning agricultural products implemented in the internal market and in third countries under Regulation (EU) No 1144/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) involves the implementation of technical projects which do not entail political decision-making and require a high level of technical and financial expertise throughout the project cycle.
(4) The cost-benefit analysis (CBA) (7) carried out in accordance with Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 with the aim of assessing the costs and benefits of the delegation of parts of the 2014-2020 Union spending programmes to executive agencies covered the management of tasks under Regulation (EU) No 1144/2014. The CBA was adjusted by the Commission in order to yield further efficiency gains, and completed by additional staff reduction at Commission level in order to ensure overall budget neutrality by offsetting the increase in expenditure on additional human resources in the executive agencies through a reduction of the corresponding level of resources in the Commission. This exercise already incorporated the resources linked to the delegation of this programme. The CBA has shown that entrusting the Agency with certain implementation tasks related to the information provision and promotion measures for agricultural products would entail significant qualitative and quantitative benefits compared with the in-house scenario under which those aspects would be managed internally within the Commission. Those tasks are thematically in line with the mandate and mission of the Agency. The Agency has already built up competence, skills and capacities which are directly relevant for those tasks. Given its relatively small size, the Agency is well placed to take on tasks related to a programme with a similar management mode. In addition, the management through the Agency will enhance the visibility of Union intervention in this field. The new tasks can capitalise on the Agency's existing communication and outreach channels. Furthermore, by taking on the new tasks the Agency will manage larger budgets and will increase its size to a level where further synergies can be found.
(5) Due to the timing for the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1144/2014, the mandate of the Agency as laid down in Implementing Decision 2013/770/EU did not cover the delegation of this new programme.
(6) In order to reflect these additional tasks, the Agency should be transformed into the Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency.
(7) Implementing Decision 2013/770/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Executive Agencies,
Implementing Decision 2013/770/EU is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) in the first subparagraph of Article 3(1), the following point (d) is added:
‘(d) the information provision and promotion measures concerning agricultural products implemented in the internal market and in third countries.’

(2) The data currently available to the Commission indicate that those amounts should be amended in accordance with the rules and procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 951/2006,
The representative prices and additional duties applicable to imports of the products referred to in Article 36 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, as fixed by Regulation (EU) No 867/2010 for the 2010/11 marketing year, are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Canada on the conclusion of GATT Article XXIV:6 negotiations (2), approved by Council Decision 2007/444/EC (3), provides for an increase by 853 tonnes of the tariff quota for common wheat for Canada.

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 markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 May 2004.

(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances for which completeness has been established in accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. Bitertanol is an active substance for which completeness has been established in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (4) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (5) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second and third stages of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included bitertanol.
(3) In accordance with Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1095/2007 of 20 September 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (6) the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within two months from entry into force of that Regulation. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (7) was adopted on the non-inclusion of bitertanol.
(4) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) The application was submitted to the United Kingdom, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(6) The United Kingdom evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 29 November 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on bitertanol to the Commission on 6 October 2010 (8). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 October 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for bitertanol.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing bitertanol may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve bitertanol in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(8) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.
(9) Without prejudice to the conclusion that bitertanol should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(10) Concerns were expressed as regards the hazard profile of the active substance due to the proposed classification for this active substance as ‘reproductive toxicant category 1B’ in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9). Data and information related to the hazard profile of the active substance will need to be reassessed. Account should also be taken on the progressive understanding of the need to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the sustainable environment. Therefore it is considered appropriate to limit the approval period to three and half years. This period is considered the shortest period possible to allow the applicant to submit an application for renewal under the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(11) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(12) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of the approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing bitertanol. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw existing authorisations. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles. Given the hazardous properties of bitertanol, the period for Member States to verify whether the plant protection products, which contain bitertanol as the only active substance or in combination with other approved active substances, comply with the provisions of Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 should not exceed two and a half years.
(13) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (10) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(14) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (11) should be amended accordingly.
(15) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of bitertanol and the withdrawal of authorisations for plants protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning bitertanol in the Annex to that Decision. It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(16) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion. An implementing act was deemed to be necessary and the chair submitted the draft implementing act to the appeal committee for further deliberation. The appeal committee did not deliver an opinion,
Approval of active substance
The active substance bitertanol, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing bitertanol as an active substance by 30 June 2012.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing bitertanol as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2014.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 3 March 2005
initiating the investigation provided for in Article 4(3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes
(notified under document number C(2005) 577)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/247/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
I. The facts
(1) On 10 December 2004, pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, the Italian Republic asked the Commission to publish a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union imposing public service obligations (PSO) on 18 routes between the Sardinian airports and the main national airports (2).
(2) The main points of the notice are as follows:
— It concerns the following 18 routes:
— Alghero–Rome and Rome–Alghero
— Alghero–Milan and Milan–Alghero
— Alghero–Bologna and Bologna–Alghero
— Alghero–Turin and Turin–Alghero
— Alghero–Pisa and Pisa–Alghero
— Cagliari–Rome and Rome–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Milan and Milan–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Bologna and Bologna–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Turin and Turin–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Pisa and Pisa–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Verona and Verona–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Naples and Naples–Cagliari
— Cagliari–Palermo and Palermo–Cagliari
— Olbia–Rome and Rome–Olbia
— Olbia–Milan and Milan–Olbia
— Olbia–Bologna and Bologna–Olbia
— Olbia–Turin and Turin–Olbia
— Olbia–Verona and Verona–Olbia
— All 18 routes indicated above and the public service obligations imposed upon them constitute a single package which must be accepted completely and entirely by the interested carriers without any compensation regardless of nature or origin.
— Each single carrier (or leading carrier) which accepts the public service obligations must provide a performance security for the purpose of guaranteeing the correct execution and continuation of the service. This security must amount to at least EUR 15 million and be guaranteed by a bank surety to be activated upon the first request for at least EUR 5 million and by an insurance surety for the remaining amount.
— The minimum frequency, timetables and capacity offered for each route are given under point ‘2. PUBLIC SERVICE OBLIGATIONS’ of the notice published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004, which is expressly referred to for the purposes of this Decision.
— The minimum capacity of the aircraft used is given under point ‘3. AIRCRAFT TO BE USED’ of the notice published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004, which is expressly referred to for the purposes of this Decision.
— The fare structure for all the routes concerned is given under point ‘4. FARES’ of the notice published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004, which is expressly referred to for the purposes of this Decision.
— In particular, regarding reduced fares, point 4.8 of the notice states that carriers operating on the affected routes are legally bound to apply the reduced fares (specified under ‘4. FARES’), to at least the following groups of passengers:
— people born in Sardinia, even if they do not live in Sardinia,
— spouses and children of people born in Sardinia.
— The public service obligations are valid from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2007.
— Carriers intending to accept the public service obligations must present a formal acceptance to the competent Italian authority within 15 days of publication of the notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) It should be noted that prior to imposing the public service obligations referred to in this Decision, the Italian Republic had imposed public service obligations, first published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 284 of 7 October 2000
(3), on six routes between the Sardinian airports and Rome and Milan. In accordance with Article 4(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, these had been put out to tender (4) to select the carriers authorised to operate these routes on an exclusive basis with financial compensation.
(4) The carriers authorised to operate the routes in accordance with the public service obligations imposed were:
— Alitalia: Cagliari–Rome.
— Air One: Cagliari–Milan, Alghero–Milan and Alghero–Rome.
— Merdiana: Olbia–Rome and Olbia–Milan.
(5) These arrangements were replaced by the public service obligations which are the subject of this Decision.
II. Essential elements of the rules on public service obligations
(6) The rules on public service obligations are laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, which defines the conditions for applying the principle of freedom to provide services in the air transport sector.
(7) Public service obligations are defined as an exception to the principle of the Regulation that ‘subject to this Regulation, Community air carriers shall be permitted by the Member State(s) concerned to exercise traffic rights on routes within the Community’ (5).
(8) The conditions for imposing them are defined in Article 4. They are interpreted strictly and in accordance with the principles of non-discrimination and proportionality. They must be adequately justified on the basis of the criteria laid down in the same Article.
(9) More precisely, the rules governing public service obligations provide that these may be imposed by a Member State in respect of scheduled air services to an airport serving a peripheral or development region in its territory or on a thin route to any regional airport, provided the route is considered vital for the economic development of the region in which the airport is located and to the extent necessary to ensure on that route the adequate provision of scheduled air services satisfying fixed standards of continuity, regularity, capacity and pricing, standards which air carriers would not meet if they were solely considering their commercial interest.
(10) The adequacy of scheduled air services is assessed by the Member States having regard to the public interest, the possibility of having recourse to other forms of transport, the ability of such forms to meet the transport needs under consideration and the combined effect of all air carriers operating or intending to operate on the route.
(11) Article 4 provides for a two-phase mechanism: in the first phase (Article 4(1)(a)) the Member State concerned imposes a public service obligation on one or more routes, which are open to all Community carriers, provided they meet the obligations. Where no carrier applies to operate the route on which the public service obligation has been imposed, the Member State can move on to a second phase (Article 4(1)(d)) which limits access to that route to only one carrier for a renewable period of up to three years. The carrier is selected by a Community tender procedure. The selected carrier can then receive financial compensation for operating the route in accordance with the public service obligation.
(12) By virtue of Article 4(3) the Commission may decide, following an investigation, carried out either at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, whether the public service obligation published should continue to apply. The Commission must communicate its decision to the Council and to the Member States. Any Member State may refer the matter to the Council which, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision.
III. Elements raising serious doubts as to the conformity of the public service obligations imposed on routes between the Sardinian airports and the main national airports with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92
(13) Article 4(1)(a) of the Regulation lists a certain number of cumulative criteria for imposing public service obligations:
— Type of route eligible: routes to an airport serving a peripheral or development region in the territory of the Member State concerned or on a thin route to any regional airport in that territory.
— It must be recognised that the route is vital for the economic development of the region in which the airport served is located.
— The principle of adequacy, assessed having regard to the existence of other means of transport or alternative routes, must be observed.
(14) In addition, the public service obligations must comply with the basic principles of proportionality and non-discrimination (see, for example, Court of Justice decision of 20 February 2001, in case C-205/99, Asociación Profesional de Empresas Navieras de Líneas Regulares (Analir) and others v Administración General del Estado, [2001] ECR p. I-01271).
(15) In the case in point, the notice imposing public service obligations published in the Official Journal at the request of the Italian Republic contains several provisions which raise serious doubts as to their conformity with Article 4 of the Regulation, and are therefore likely to restrict unduly the development of the routes concerned; in particular:
(a) No detailed explanation based on an economic analysis of the air transport market between Sardinia and the rest of Italy has been provided, to justify the need for the new public service obligations, their appropriateness and their proportionality to the objective.
(b) The six routes covered by the previous notice and included in the new one have not been assessed.
(c) It is not evident that the 12 other routes on which public service obligations have been imposed since 1 January 2005 are vital for the economic development of the regions of Sardinia where the airports concerned are located; considering in particular:
— The nature of the routes concerned,
— It has not been shown that these routes are vital for the economic development of the regions of Sardinia in which the airports concerned are located,
— The existence of alternative air routes which allow an adequate and continuous service to be provided to the airports concerned, via the main Italian hubs linked in a satisfactory manner with Sardinia.
(d) The requirement that interested carriers operate all 18 routes to which the public service obligations apply as a single package is a particularly significant restriction of the principle of the freedom to provide services. It is in breach of the principles of proportionality and non-discrimination; considering in particular:
— it has not been shown that grouping all these routes together is vital for the economic development of the regions of Sardinia in which the airports concerned are located,
— the risk of unjustified discrimination between carriers, where only the largest ones have the means to operate in such conditions,
— in addition, such a requirement is contrary to the need for the Member State imposing the public service obligations to take account in its assessment of the combined effect of all air carriers operating or intending to operate on the route (6).
(e) The requirement to provide a security of a particularly high amount is also likely to create unjustified discrimination between interested carriers, where only the largest ones have the means to offer such guarantees.
(f) The very short time, 15 days from the publication of the notice in the Official Journal given to interested carriers to accept the public service obligations and twenty two days to begin operating (on 1 January 2005), are likely to create unjustified discrimination between them. In reality, it is impossible for a carrier not already operating on routes to Sardinia to complete the legal and administrative formalities in the time allowed and mobilise the resources needed to set up such an operation.
(g) The requirement, in point 4.8 of the notice, that reduced fares must be applied to passengers solely because of their place of birth (in this case Sardinia) or for the sole reason that they have family links with such persons may in fact be unlawful discrimination based on nationality (see for example case C-338/01 Commission v Italy [2003] ECR p. I-00721).
IV. Procedure
(16) Despite repeated calls from the Commission drawing the attention of the Italian authorities to these problems and expressing doubts as to the conformity of the notice imposing public service obligations with Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, the Italian Republic decided to have it published.
(17) As soon as it was published, several interested parties contacted the Commission to informally express their concerns regarding the disproportionate and discriminatory nature of the public service obligations. The Commission also received a complaint contesting the legality of these obligations (the author wished to remain anonymous).
(18) In the light of the above, and by virtue of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992, the Commission may carry out an investigation to determine whether the development of one or more routes is unduly restricted by the imposition of public service obligations, in order to decide whether these obligations should continue to be imposed on the routes in question.
The Commission will carry out an investigation, as provided for in Article 4(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, in order to determine whether the public service obligations imposed on routes between the Sardinian airports and the main national airports, published at the request of the Italian Republic in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004, should continue to apply to these routes.
1. The Italian Republic shall transmit to the Commission, within one month following the notification of this Decision, all the information necessary for examining the conformity of the public service obligations referred to in Article 1 with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92.
2. In particular, the following shall be transmitted:
— The legal analysis of the impact on the exercise by all European air carriers of traffic rights in respect of the routes to which the public service obligations published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004 apply, in the event that these obligations are effectively complied with.
— In particular, it must be stated whether the Italian authorities intended to create an exclusive right to operate the 18 routes for the carrier or carriers which formally accepted the obligations.
— The legal analysis, with regard to Community law, justifying the different conditions contained in the notice imposing public service obligations published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004.
— The reasons for imposing reduced fares only for ‘People born in Sardinia, even if they do not live in Sardinia and spouses and children of people born in Sardinia’.
— A detailed assessment of the implementation of the public service obligations published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 284 of 7 October 2000.
— A detailed analysis of the economic relations between the regions of Sardinia and the other regions of Italy where the airports concerned by the public service obligations published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004 are located.
— A detailed analysis of the current supply of air transport between the Sardinian airports and the other Italian airports concerned by the public service obligations published in
Official Journal of the European Union C 306 of 10 December 2004, including the supply of indirect flights.
— A detailed analysis of the availability of other means of transport and their capacity to meet the transport needs under consideration.
— An analysis of the current demand for air transport for each route concerned by these obligations.
— A precise description of the journey times and frequency required to connect by road the different Sardinian airports concerned by these obligations.
— A description of the situation on the day of notification of this Decision regarding the operation of services in accordance with the obligations and the identity of the carrier or carriers operating the services.
— The operating forecasts (passenger traffic, freight, financial forecasts, etc.) communicated by the carrier or carriers.
— Any claims existing before the national courts on the day of notification of this Decision and the legal situation of the notice imposing the public service obligations.
1. This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION of 14 May 1993 accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in Hungary, Poland and the Republic of Croatia
(93/260/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Whereas:
(1) On the basis of the definitive findings of the Commission, the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1189/92 (2) imposing definitive antidumping duties on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in Hungary, Poland and the Republic of Croatia, and definitively collecting provisional anti-dumping duties.
(2) After all exporters concerned were notified of the results of the final investigation, several offered undertakings in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.
(3) The effect of these undertakings would be that the injurious consequences of the dumped imports would be eliminated. In this respect, the Commission recalls that the most important factors of the injury caused by the dumped imports were the rapid increase in volume and the high margin of price undercutting. In addition, the Commission is of the opinion that, administratively, it will be possible to verify that the undertakings are being complied with. That being so, the Commission considers that the undertakings offered are acceptable and that the investigation concerning the exporters in question may be closed without the imposition of anti-dumping duties.
(4) Should the undertakings in question not be complied with, or should they be withdrawn by the exporters concerned, the Commission could, in accordance with Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, impose provisional duties forthwith on the basis of the results and conclusions of the investigation set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1189/93. Subsequently, definitive duties could also be imposed by the Council on the basis of the facts established in that investigation.
(5) No objections to the acceptance of the undertakings were raised within the Advisory Committee.
(6) The Community industry concerned was informed of the main facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to accept the undertakings and did not object to them,
The undertakings offered by:
Hungary:
Csepel Tube Works, Budapest;
Poland:
Centrozap, Foreign Trade Company Ltd, Katowice,
Huta Andrzej, Zawadzkle,
Stalexport, Foreign Trade Enterprise, Katowice,
Huta Im M. Buczka, Sosnowiec,
Huta Czestochowa, Czestochowa,
Huta Jednosc, Siemianowice Sl.,
Huta Batory SA, Chorzow;
Croatia:
Zeljezara Sisak, Sisak Steel Pipe Works, Zagreb,
in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in Hungary, Poland and the Republic of Croatia, falling within CN codes 7304 10 10, 7304 10 30, 7304 31 99, 7304 39 91 and 7304 39 93, are hereby accepted.
This acceptance of the undertakings shall take effect on the day of entry into force of the definitive duty. They shall apply to all shipments released for free circulation in the Community as from 1 January 1993.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 596/2012
of 5 July 2012
initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 467/2010 on imports of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of silicon consigned from Taiwan whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not, and making such imports subject to registration
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee in accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The European Commission (‧the Commission‧) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China and to make imports of silicon consigned from Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not, subject to registration.
(2) The request was lodged on 15 May 2012 by Euroalliages (Liaison Committee of the Ferro-Alloy Industry) (‧the applicant‧) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, namely 100 %, of the Union production of silicon.
B. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is silicon metal originating in the PRC, currently falling within CN code 2804 69 00 (silicon content less than 99,99 % by weight) (‘the product concerned’). Purely by reason of the current classification set out in the Combined Nomenclature, it should read ‘silicon’. Silicon with a higher purity, that is containing by weight not less than 99,99 % of silicon, used mostly in the electronic semi-conductor industry, falls under a different CN code and is not covered by this proceeding.
(4) The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not, currently falling within the same CN code as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 467/2010 (2) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) and a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
(6) An anti-circumvention investigation concerning imports of silicon was also carried out in 2006-2007 which led to Council Regulation (EC) No 42/2007 (3) extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not.
D. GROUNDS
(7) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via Taiwan.
(8) The prima facie evidence at the Commission's disposal is as follows:
(9) There is a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan to the Union which has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, without sufficient due cause or justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.
(10) This change appears to stem from the transhipment of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China via Taiwan to the Union.
(11) Furthermore, the evidence points to the fact that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures, adjusted for the increase in the costs of the raw material.
(12) Finally, the Commission has sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned, adjusted for the increase in the costs of the raw material.
(13) Should circumvention practices via Taiwan covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.
E. PROCEDURE
(14) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation, whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(a) Questionnaires
(15) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Taiwan, to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.
(16) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time-limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time-limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time-limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.
(17) The authorities of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(18) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures
(19) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(20) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of silicon in Taiwan that can show that they are not related (4) to any producer subject to the measures (5) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time-limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.
F. REGISTRATION
(21) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports consigned from Taiwan was imposed.
G. TIME-LIMITS
(22) In the interest of sound administration, time-limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— producers in Taiwan may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
(23) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time-limits indicated in Article 3 of this Regulation.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(24) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time-limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(25) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.
(26) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION
(27) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
J. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(28) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (6).
K. HEARING OFFICER
(29) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.
(30) A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.
(31) For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on the Directorate-General for Trade's website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/hearing-officer/index_en.htm.
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of silicon (silicon content less than 99,99 % by weight) consigned from Taiwan whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not, currently falling within CN code ex 2804 69 00 (TARIC code 2804690020), are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EU) No 467/2010.
The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
The Commission, by regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted.
1. Questionnaires must be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.
3. Producers in Taiwan requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures must submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 37-day time-limit.
4. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time-limit.

However, any Powers of Attorney, signed certifications, and any updates thereof, accompanying questionnaire replies must be submitted on paper, i.e. by post or by hand, at the address below. If an interested party cannot provide its submissions and requests in electronic format, it must immediately inform the Commission in compliance with Article 18(2) of the basic Regulation. For further information concerning correspondence with the Commission, interested parties may consult the relevant web page on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/trade-defence.
All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis must be labelled as ‧Limited‧ (7) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, must be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which must be labelled ‧For inspection by interested parties‧.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 984/2009
of 21 October 2009
refusing to authorise certain health claims made on food, other than those referring to the reduction of disease risk and to children’s development and health
(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 1924/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (1), and in particular Article 18(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 health claims made on food are prohibited unless they are authorised by the Commission in accordance with that Regulation and included in a list of permitted claims.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 also provides that applications for authorisations of health claims may be submitted by food business operators to the national competent authority of a Member State. The national competent authority is to forward applications to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), hereinafter referred to as the Authority.
(3) Following receipt of an application the Authority is to inform without delay the other Member States and the Commission and to deliver an opinion on a health claim concerned.
(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisaton of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) Following an application from Pierre Fabre Dermo Cosmétique submitted on 14 April 2008 pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of Elancyl Global Silhouette® on the regulation of body composition in people with light to moderate overweight (Question No EFSA-Q-2008-285) (2). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Clinically tested as of 14 days. Your silhouette is apparently and globally redrawn, resculpted and refined at 28 days’.
(6) On 12 August 2008, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship was not established between the consumption of Elancyl Global Silhouette® in the quantities and duration proposed by the applicant and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(7) Following an application from Valio Ltd submitted on 8 July 2008, pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of LGG® MAX on gastro-intestinal discomfort (Question No EFSA-Q-2008-444) (3). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘LGG® MAX helps to reduce gastro-intestinal discomfort’.
(8) On 30 August 2008 the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship was not established between the consumption of LGG® MAX (Mixture A or Mixture B) and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.
(9) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public received by the Commission, pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(10) The health claim ‘LGG® MAX helps to reduce gastro-intestinal discomfort’ is a health claim as referred to Article 13(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and therefore subject to the transition measure laid down in Article 28(5) of that Regulation. As the Authority concluded that a cause and effect relationship is not established between the consumption of LGG® MAX and the claimed effect the claim does not comply with Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, and therefore the transition period foreseen in Article 28(5) is not applicable. A transition period of six months should be provided for, to enable food business operators to adapt to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. The health claim ‘Clinically tested as of 14 days. Your silhouette is apparently and globally redrawn, resculpted and refined at 28 days’ is a health claim as referred to Article 13(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and therefore subject to the transition measure laid down in Article 28(6) of that Regulation. However, as the application was not made before 19 January 2008, the requirement provided for in Article 28(6)(b) is not fulfilled, and the transition period laid down in that Article is not applicable. Accordingly, a transition period of six months should be provided for, to enable food business operators to adapt to the requirements of this Commission Regulation.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Health claims set out in the Annex to this Regulation may not be made on food on the Community market.
Health claims set out in the Annex to this Regulation may continue to be used for six months after the entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community.
Having regard to Council Directive 75/108/EEC of 20 January 1975 on the organization of a structures survey for 1975 as part of the programme of surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings (1), and in particular Article 8 (1) (c) thereof,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1886/94 (2), and in particular Article 5a (4) and 5b (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1720/94 (4), provides for certain rules with respect to the transfer of premium rights and the distribution of rights from the reserve;
Whereas, in order to avoid inequality of treatment between producers who have received premium rights free of charge from the national reserve and other producers, provision should be made, on the one hand, for the possibility of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 not being applied to those producers who have received rights free of charge from the national reserve, in exceptional duly justified cases and, on the other hand, for a certain tolerance with regard to the current rule according to which such producers must avail themselves of all their rights in the course of three marketing years;
Whereas, in order to ensure better mobilization of the premium rights which are available but not used by producers, the minimum thresholds for rights which may be transferred or temporarily leased should also be lowered;
Whereas experience gained as regards the administration of transfers and temporary leases of premium rights shows that, where appropriate, Member States should be allowed to set a deadline for notifying the competent authorities of such transfers and temporary leases which is as close as possible to the date on which producers submit their premium applications; whereas it is also necessary to alter accordingly the deadline for the competent authorities to notify the producers concerned of the new limits determined as a result of the said transfers and temporary leases;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,
Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 6 (1) is replaced by the following:
'1. Where a producer has obtained premium rights free of charge from the national reserve and except in duly justified exceptional cases:
(a) he shall not be authorized to transfer and/or temporarily lease his rights during the three following marketing years;
(b) where the producer does not avail himself, on average, of at least 90 % of his rights during the three following years, the Member State shall withdraw and surrender to the national reserve the average of the rights not used in the course of those three marketing years';
2. in Article 7, paragraphs 1 and 2 are replaced by the following:
'1. The minimum number of premium rights which may be the subject of a partial transfer not involving the transfer of a holding shall be:
- ten rights in the case of producers holding at least 100 premium rights,
- five rights in the case of producers holding at least 20 and not more than 99 rights.
In the case of producers holding less than 20 rights, no minimum is set.
2. Transfers of premium rights and temporary leasing of such rights shall be effective only after they have been notified to the competent authorities of the Member State by the producer transferring and/or leasing the rights and by the producer receiving the rights.
Such notification shall be within a deadline set by the Member State and not later than the date on which the producer receiving the rights lodges his premium application.';
3. Article 9 is replaced by the following:
'Article 9
In the case of transfers or temporary leasing of premium rights, Member States shall set the new individual limit and shall notify the producers concerned not later than 60 days after the last day of the period during which the producer submitted his premium application, of the number of premium rights to which they are entitled.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to premium applications submitted for the 1995 and subsequent marketing years.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Decision 1999/70/EC concerning the external auditors of the national central banks, as regards the external auditors of the Österreichische Nationalbank
(2006/212/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Protocol on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular to Article 27(1) thereof,
Having regard to Recommendation ECB/2006/1 of the European Central Bank of 1 February 2006 to the Council of the European Union on the external auditors of the Österreichische Nationalbank (1),
Whereas:
(1) The accounts of the European Central Bank (ECB) and of the national central banks of the Eurosystem are to be audited by independent external auditors recommended by the Governing Council of the ECB and approved by the Council of the European Union.
(2) Pursuant to Article 37(1) of the Federal Act on the Österreichische Nationalbank, the General Meeting of the Österreichische Nationalbank (ÖNB) shall elect two auditors and two alternate auditors each year. The alternate auditors will be mandated only in the event that the auditors are not able to perform the audit.
(3) The mandate of the current external auditors of the ÖNB cannot be renewed for a further term of office after the audit for the financial year 2005. It is therefore necessary to appoint external auditors from the financial year 2006.
(4) The ÖNB has selected KPMG Alpen-Treuhand GmbH, TPA Horwath Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH, Moore Stephens Austria Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH and BDO Auxilia Treuhand GmbH as its new external auditors in accordance with Community as well as Austrian public procurement legislation, and the ECB considers that they fulfil the necessary requirements for appointment.
(5) The Governing Council of the ECB recommended that the mandate of the external auditors should be renewed on a yearly basis, not exceeding a total term of five years.
(6) It is appropriate to follow the recommendation of the Governing Council of the ECB and to amend Council Decision 1999/70/EC (2) accordingly,
Article 1(9) of Decision 1999/70/EC shall be replaced by the following:
‘9. KPMG Alpen-Treuhand GmbH and TPA Horwath Wirtschaftsprüfung GmbH are hereby approved jointly as the external auditors of the Österreichische Nationalbank (ÖNB) for the financial year 2006.
Moore Stephens Austria Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH and BDO Auxilia Treuhand GmbH are hereby approved jointly as the alternate auditors of the ÖNB for the financial year 2006.
This mandate may be renewed on a yearly basis, not exceeding a total term of five years, ending with the financial year 2010 at the latest.’
This Decision shall be notified to the European Central Bank.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 724/90
of 26 March 1990
fixing for the 1990 marketing year the reference prices for cherries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas cherries are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas cherries harvested during a given crop year are marketed from April to September; whereas the quantities harvested in April, during the first 20 days of May and from 11 August to 30 September are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these periods; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 21 May to 10 August inclusive;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first stage of accession;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1990 marketing year, the reference prices for cherries falling within CN code 0809 20, expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net, of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
May (21 to 31): 140,95
June: 125,92
July: 115,69
August (1 to 10): 88,73
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 May 1990.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 275/80 of 6 February 1980 amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 3075/78 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special measures for peas and field beans used in the feeding of animals
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1119/78 of 22 May 1978 laying down special measures for peas and field beans used in the feeding of animals (1), and in particular Article 2 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 10 (1) (c) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3075/78 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1954/79 (3), lays down that the competent agencies shall check that the price stated in the contracts concluded with producers is at least equal to the minimum price ; whereas, pending Community rules with regard to the date to be used for the purpose of determining the conversion rate to be applied to the minimum price, that date has been fixed by the rules applying in each Member State ; whereas, in the interests of a uniform application of the system, a single date should be fixed and should be made to coincide with the date of the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas Article 4 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 of 30 July 1968 laying down rules for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 653/68 on conditions for alterations to the value of the unit of account used for the common agricultural policy (4) provides that, in the case of transactions carried out pursuant to provisions of the common agricultural policy, the sums owed by a Member State or a duly authorized body, expressed in national currency and representing amounts fixed in units of account, are to be paid on the basis of the relationship between the unit of account and the national currency which obtained at the time when the transaction or part-transaction was carried out;
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68 provides that the time when a transaction is carried out is to be considered the date on which occurs the event, as defined by Community rules or, in the absence of and pending adoption of such rules, by the rules of the Member State concerned, in which the amount involved in the transaction becomes due and payable;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/78 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1212/79 (6), provides that the event providing entitlement to the aid for peas and field beans occurs at the moment when those products are used in the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs ; whereas it is, however, very difficult to ascertain the exact date on which a given lot is used ; whereas, therefore, in order to ensure uniform application of the system of aid for those products, the conversion rate in force on the day on which the contract is submitted by the manufacturer of animal feedingstuffs should be used for the purposes of calculating the amount of that aid in national currency;
Whereas the amount of the aid to be granted to the manufacturer of animal feedingstuffs is that valid on the day on which he lodges his contract with the responsible agency ; whereas taking commercial practices into account, the possibility should be provided for of announcing by telex or telegram the lodging of the contract;
Whereas Article 18 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3075/78 provides that the total quantity of peas and field beans stated on the certificate must be used in order to qualify for the system of aid ; whereas this provision should be made more flexible by amending Article 19 (2) of that Regulation so as to take better account of the technical difficulties involved;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Dried Fodder,
Regulation (EEC) No 3075/78 is hereby amended as follows: 1. The following subparagraph is added to Article 10 (1) (c): (1)OJ No L 142, 30.5.1978, p. 8. (2)OJ No L 367, 28.12.1978, p. 9. (3)OJ No L 226, 6.9.1979, p. 11. (4)OJ No L 188, 1.8.1968, p. 1. (5)OJ No L 171, 28.6.1978, p. 5. (6)OJ No L 153, 21.6.1979, p. 6.
"The conversion rate to be applied for the purpose of verifying that the minimum price has been respected in the case of a product harvested during a given marketing year shall be the representative rate in force on 1 July of the marketing year in question."
2. The following subparagraph is added to Article 17 (1):
"Within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1134/68, the event providing entitlement to the aid for peas and field beans shall be considered as having occurred on the day when the abovementioned contract was submitted."
3. The first subparagraph of Article 17 (4) is replaced by the following:
"4. The day on which the contract is lodged means: - the day on which this lodging takes place, provided that it is done not later than 4 p.m., or
- the day on which a telex or telegram arrives whereby the feedingstuffs manufacturer announces his intention to lodge the contract, provided that: (a) the communication arrives at the competent agency not later than 4 p.m.,
(b) the communication includes all the details necessary to identify the contract and, in particular, the names and addresses of the contracting parties as well as the quantity or area concerned,
(c) except in the case of force majeure, the contract is physically lodged within five working days following the day on which the communication arrives."
4. Article 19 (2) is replaced by the following:
"2. Aid shall be paid on production of the certificate and after attestation by the agency responsible for checking that the products stated in the certificate have been used within the period referred to in Article 18 (4). If the quantity used is equal to or greater than 90 % and less than 98 % of the quantity stated on the certificate, aid shall be paid proportionately, according to the quantities actually used. If the quantity used is less than 90 % of that stated on the certificate, except in cases of force majeure, no aid shall be paid. If, following a case of force majeure, only a portion of the quantity stated on the certificate is used during this period, aid shall be paid in proportion to the quantities actually used. The aid shall be paid within 120 days of the production of the certificate."
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 1980.
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 Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 29,629/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Decision
of 21 May 2001
suspending the examination procedures concerning obstacles to trade, within the meaning of Council Regulation (EC) No 3286/94, consisting of trade practices maintained by Brazil in relation to imports of textile products and sorbitol
(notified under document number C(2001) 1449)
(2001/429/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 of 22 December 1994 laying down Community procedures in the field of the common commercial policy in order to ensure the exercise of the Community's rights under international trade rules, in particular those established under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 356/95(2), and in particular Article 11(2)(a) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
1. Examination on imports of textile products
(1) On 12 January 1998 Febeltex, (Fédération Belge du Textile) lodged a complaint pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 (hereinafter "the Regulation").
(2) Febeltex alleged that Community sales of textile products in Brazil are hindered by a number of obstacles to trade within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Regulation, i.e. "a practice adopted or maintained by a third country and in respect of which international trade rules establish a right of action". The alleged obstacles to trade were:
- Brazil's non-automatic licensing system for imports of textile products into this country, The complainant alleged that this system was not justified since it did not implement any commercial policy measure compatible with the WTO,
- Brazilian requirements on import payment terms operated through an "horizontal regime" (which Brazil applies to all imports), as well as a "specific regime" (which it applies to imports of textile products),
- a minimum import pricing scheme. According to Febeltex, several textile products were subject to discretionary minimum import prices operated via both the import licensing and the custom valuation systems.
(3) The Commission decided that the complaint contained sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an examination procedure. A corresponding notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3).
(4) The Brazilian authorities were informed of the initiation of the investigation and were requested to respond to a questionnaire on the alleged barriers to trade. The Brazilian government replied and provided the Commission with the information requested.
(5) The final report on the examination procedure was circulated to the Member States on 9 November 1998, at the meeting of the Advisory Committee.
2. Examination on imports of sorbitol
(6) On 2 October 1998 Cerestar Holding BV lodged a complaint under Article 4 of the Regulation.
(7) The complainant alleged that Community sales of sorbitol in Brazil are hindered by a number of obstacles to trade within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Regulation. The alleged obstacles to trade were:
- the introduction in December 1997 by the Brazilian Government (Departamento de Operaçoes de Comércio Exterior) in accordance with Comunicado DECEX No 20 of 8.7.1997 of a non-automatic licensing procedure for sorbitol in violation of the relevant provisions of the WTO Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures,
- the alleged arbitrary and/or non justified refusal (or otherwise non-granting) by the Brazilian authorities of import licences in relation with all sorbitol grades entering Brazil below a minimum fob price,
- the implementation of minimum prices via de facto reference prices included in the customs valuation system.
The complainant also claimed a general lack of transparency of the Brazilian import licensing system, which was not duly notified to the WTO.
(8) The Commission decided that the complaint contained sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an examination procedure. A corresponding notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(4).
(9) Following an intervention by the Italian chemical producer Lamberti, the examination procedure was extended to cover also carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a product affected by the same trade barrier.
(10) The Brazilian authorities were informed of the initiation of the investigation and were requested to respond to a questionnaire on the alleged barriers to trade. The Brazilian government replied and provided the Commission with the information requested.
(11) The final report on the examination procedure was circulated to the Member States on 13 July 1999, at the meeting of the Advisory Committee.
B. FINDINGS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS
(12) According to the final investigation reports, the two examination procedures led to the conclusion that the Brazilian minimum price system appeared to be in breach of:
- Article XI.1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT (1994), as it is a restriction other than duties, taxes or other charges, made effective through import licences on the importation of any product of the territory of any other contracting party, without any WTO compatible justification,
- Article 4.2 of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture, for the same reason as above (in relation with trade in sorbitol),
- Article 2 and 5 of the WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures, as it imposes sanitary controls more trade-restrictive than necessary, which are not applied only to the extent necessary to protect human life or health (in relation with trade in sorbitol and CMC).
(13) In addition, the Brazilian non-automatic import licensing system, as applied with a minimum price requirement, appeared to be also in breach of:
- Article 1, 3 and 5 of the WTO Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures, as it is not neutral in application, it is not administered in a fair and equitable manner, it has additional trade-restrictive and -distortive effects on imports without applying any WTO compatible restriction. Moreover, as the system does not implement any measure, so it can not be limited in scope and duration to the measure it implements. In addition, the list of products submitted to non-automatic licensing is not published and the applications for licenses for imports under the minimum price are left without official reply for several months,
- Article X.1 and X.3 of GATT (1994), as it is not published and it is not administered in a uniform, impartial and reasonable manner.
(14) As regards the Brazilian legislation on customs valuation, it appeared that the scale of implementation of reference prices on a systematic basis rendered the way this system was implemented incompatible with Article 1 to 7 of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade - GATT (1994) (the Customs Valuation Agreement).
(15) The examination procedures also confirmed that the Brazilian contested practices caused adverse trade effects within the meaning of Article 2(4) and 10(4) of the Trade Barriers Regulation (TBR), as impeded exports of textile products, sorbitol and CMC from the Community to the Brazilian market.
(16) Following the Febeltex investigation, the Commission, by its Decision of 17 March 1999(5), had decided to initiate a WTO Dispute Settlement Procedure. Once the Cerestar investigation was concluded, it was considered appropriate to join the two cases in a single request for consultations on all aspects of the Brazilian import regime found to be WTO incompatible. This request was lodged with a view also to ask Brazil for a radical review of the operation of its laws and regulations on imports according to Article VIII.2 of GATT.
(17) These consultations were held on 19 November 1999. On this occasion, while declining all allegations relative to minimum pricing practices both at import licensing or customs valuation levels, Brazil admitted that it did not comply with several of its WTO obligations concerning notification in relation with its import licensing system. Moreover, following these consultations, de facto minimum prices were not applied any longer on CMC and sorbitol imports and certain textile products were excluded from the non-automatic licensing requirement.
(18) The Commission acknowledges that the Brazilian systems concerned have undergone significant changes since the lodging of the complaint under the Regulation and that these substantial modifications have improved the possibility for the Community industry to enter the Brazilian market.
(19) However, there are still several aspects of the Brazilian import licensing and customs valuation systems that need to be modified in order to fully comply with Brazil's obligations under the relevant WTO Agreements. In addition, the transparency of the whole import system still needs improvements.
(20) The Commission considers therefore that it would be appropriate to monitor the effect of the changes in the Brazilian system for a period of not less than six months from the date of entry into force of this Decision. Such monitoring would give an indication whether the changes have lastingly improved the situation with regard to the barriers to trade in Brazil.
(21) The examinations procedure concerning obstacles to trade related to import licensing, customs valuation and minimum import prices on the market of the Republic of Brazil should therefore be suspended and the Commission should supervise the situation in accordance with Article 11 (2)(b) of the Regulation.
(22) A report on the enforcement of relevant Brazilian laws and regulations will be issued covering a period of six months from the date of the suspension. Any further action which might appear necessary will be proposed on the basis of that report,
The examination procedures concerning obstacles to trade, within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 3286/94, consisting of trade practices maintained by Brazil in relation to imports of textile products and sorbitol are hereby suspended.

on the publication of references of standard EN 15947 regarding the essential safety requirements set out in Directive 2007/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on pyrotechnic articles
(notified under document C(2011) 5310)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/482/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2007/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 May 2007 on the placing on the market of pyrotechnic articles (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations (2),
Whereas:
(1) On 20 September 2010, the Swedish authorities have raised a formal objection in respect of parts 3, 4 and 5 of standard EN 15947, in particular relating to the requirements for batteries and combinations.
(2) Standard EN 15947 considers batteries and combinations to be in conformity with the essential safety requirements of Directive 2007/23/EC if they are embedded into soft ground or fixed to a post in order to stay upright during functioning.
(3) According to the Swedish authorities, standard EN 15947 does not satisfy the essential safety requirements set out in point 3 of Annex I to Directive 2007/23/EC. Batteries and combinations are commonly used on hard ground, such as frozen ground and pavement, asphalt surfaces or concrete. Standard EN 15947 does not provide for a test for those batteries and combinations on hard surface. Therefore, there is a risk that those batteries and combinations will not stay upright during functioning on hard ground. Standard EN 15947 does not satisfy the essential safety requirement on the instructions for use set out in point 3(h) of Annex I to Directive 2007/23/EC. Due to the nature of fireworks, they are often used in late evening or at night when, because of poor visibility, instructions are difficult to read.
(4) Concerns raised by Sweden were addressed in the framework of European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), with several Member States insisting that, in the light of their climatic conditions and national regulations for the use of fireworks, batteries and combinations that are to be embedded in the ground or to be fixed to a post should be included in standard EN 15947. As a result, batteries and combinations that are to be embedded in the ground or have to be fixed to a post were included in that standard as they satisfy essential safety requirements set out in Directive 2007/23/EC when accompanied by the instructions for use.
(5) The Commission considers that in Member States where fireworks are used primarily in public spaces, certain batteries and combinations, despite labelling requiring them to be fixed to a post or embedded in soft ground, are in practice often only placed on hard ground or hard surfaces. In other Member States, where fireworks are primarily being used on private property, the requirement to embed batteries and combinations into soft ground or to fix them to a post actually increases safety. Therefore, in order to protect users and bystanders from injuries, it is necessary to revise the relevant parts of standard EN 15947 in order to introduce different types of batteries and combinations and take account of the distinctions between them. A distinction should be made between batteries and combinations that are intended and suitable to be placed on a hard flat surface and have to be tested in that manner, and those batteries and combinations that must be embedded in soft ground or attached to a post and tested in that manner. Batteries and combinations which are neither intended and suitable to be placed on a hard flat surface, nor embedded in soft ground or attached to a post should be included in a third, additional type.
(6) As a result of the need to revise parts 3, 4 and 5 of standard EN 15947 with regard to batteries and combinations, reference to those parts should be published in the Official Journal of the European Union with an additional notice.
(7) On 27 September 2010, the French authorities have raised a formal objection in respect of parts 3, 4 and 5 of standard EN 15947, relating to the absence of a drop test and to failure to set different safety distances for operators and for the public.
(8) Following discussion in the framework of CEN it was decided not to include the drop test in the standard as proposed by France. Mechanical conditioning according to the descriptions in standard EN 15947 had already been part of the previous standard series EN 14035 and has been very well established in the past. This test method covers the requirements regarding sensitivity to normal, foreseeable handling and transportation set out in Directive 2007/23/EC.
(9) The Commission considers that the mechanical conditioning test already contained in EN 15947 sufficiently covers the requirements regarding sensitivity to normal, foreseeable handling and transportation set out in Directive 2007/23/EC.
(10) France also expressed concern that the safety distances set in part 3 of the standard EN 15947 do not protect the public in every case, but only protect the firer. For example, if products are fired in the vicinity of tall buildings, there is a risk of damaging the exterior of these buildings or injure persons on balconies or terraces. France has therefore proposed to determine the safety distances of each pyrotechnic article by taking into account its maximum vertical range.
(11) CEN discussions regarding safety distances clearly revealed that it was necessary to have the same safety distance for each article within a certain category. A deviation from this principle entailed significant risks, as the user without specialist knowledge would have to adjust the safety distance prior to use.
(12) The Commission considers that too many differing safety distances for pyrotechnic articles of the same category, especially different ones for users without specialist knowledge and their public, will confuse users. Therefore it is not necessary to revise parts 3, 4 and 5 of the standard EN 15947 in this regard, as it already satisfies the essential safety requirements set out in Directive 2007/23/EC,
The references of parts 3, 4 and 5 of standard EN 15947 shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
1. The publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of references of parts 3, 4 and 5 of standard EN 15947 shall be accompanied by the following additional notice:
‘Until that standard is reviewed and republished, Member States shall consider batteries and combinations which comply with standard EN 15947 to be in conformity with the essential safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 2007/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council only if, before being placed on the market, they have been clearly labelled as indicated below.
For batteries and combinations to be placed on flat ground:
For batteries and combinations to be embedded into soft ground or material:
For batteries and combinations to be fixed to a post:
For other batteries and combinations: [specify other safety precautions if not intended and suitable to be placed on flat ground, or to be embedded into soft ground or material or attached to a post].’.
2. The publication of the reference number of a national standard transposing standard EN 15947 shall be accompanied by the notice referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 of 17 December 2003 establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Directives 92/102/EEC and 64/432/EEC (1), and in particular Article 4(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The competent authority of the United Kingdom has submitted two requests, accompanied by appropriate documentation, for the recognition of the system of identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals implemented in Great Britain and Northern Ireland respectively.
(2) Following a Commission veterinary inspection mission in the United Kingdom the Commission experts found that in Great Britain the systems of identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in place and proposed are generally speaking capable of ensuring compliance with most of the objectives laid down in Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, but a number of weaknesses need to be addressed. In Northern Ireland the proposed system of identification and registration of ovine animals could achieve compliance with most of the objectives laid down in Regulation (EC) No 21/2004, but its implementation would demand a high level of awareness and commitment from all parties involved.
(3) The competent authority of the United Kingdom has undertaken the commitment to address the concerns raised, and in particular to take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 within 10 weeks of the requested approval being granted.
(4) The systems of identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland should therefore be given provisional approval for the interim period allowing the replacement of the second means of identification for ovine animals by that system, except in the case of animals involved in intra-Community trade.
(5) The competent authority should carry out appropriate checks in order to verify the proper implementation of the systems of identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The systems for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals provided for under Article 4(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 implemented by the United Kingdom in Great Britain and Northern Ireland are hereby considered to be provisionally operational from 9 July 2005 until 30 April 2006 at the latest.
The Commission shall in cooperation with the authorities of the United Kingdom make inspections on the spot to verify implementation of the action proposed by the United Kingdom.
The provisional approval of the system for identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals granted in Article 1 shall be reviewed in the light of the inspection findings by 31 January 2006.
Without prejudice to provisions to be laid down according to Article 10(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 the competent authority shall carry out the appropriate on-the-spot checks each year to verify compliance by keepers with the requirements on identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 of 27 July 2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre(1), and in particular Articles 9 and 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) New rules relating to hemp imports are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1093/2001(2), amending Regulation (EC) No 245/2001(3) laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1093/2001 stipulates that those rules must apply from 1 November 2001.
(2) The creation of national measures corresponding to the new rules on hemp imports requires major national legislative, administrative and practical changes. As a result, some Member States may not be able to guarantee application of the new rules on the envisaged date, 1 November 2001. The Member States should be granted sufficient extra time to ensure that the rules enter into force at the same time and in the same way, so a new date of 1 May 2002 should be set for application of the new rules. As a consequence, the control measures in force prior to the former date must continue in application until 30 April 2002.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Natural Fibres,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1093/2001, the date "1 November 2001" is replaced by "1 May 2002" and the date "31 October 2001" is replaced by "30 April 2002".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.

of 31 July 2009
laying down, pursuant to Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, technical specifications for chemical analysis and monitoring of water status
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The quality and comparability of analytical results generated by laboratories appointed by competent authorities of the Member States to perform water chemical monitoring pursuant to Article 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC should be ensured. The EN ISO/IEC-17025 standard on general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories provides appropriate international standards for the validation of the methods of analysis used.
(2) In order to fulfil validation requirements, all methods of analysis applied by Member States for the purposes of chemical monitoring programmes of water status should meet certain minimum performance criteria, including rules on the uncertainty of measurements and on the limit of quantification of the methods. To ensure comparability of chemical monitoring results, the limit of quantification should be determined in accordance with a commonly agreed definition.
(3) Where there are no methods which comply with the minimum performance criteria, monitoring should be based on best available techniques not entailing excessive costs.
(4) The calculation of mean values should take account of measurement results that are below the limit of quantification of methods of analysis. Rules to be used in this respect should be provided.
(5) Technical operations to ensure the quality and comparability of analytical results should follow quality management system practices accepted at international level. For that purpose, the practices set out in EN ISO/IEC-17025 are appropriate. It is appropriate to ensure that laboratories performing chemical analysis demonstrate their competence through the participation in internationally or nationally recognised proficiency testing programmes and through the use of available reference materials. In view of harmonising practices at the Community level, the organisation of proficiency testing programmes should be based on relevant international standards. To that end, ISO/IEC guide 43-1 on proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons — Part 1: Development and operation of proficiency testing schemes provides an appropriate guide. The results of those programmes should be evaluated on the basis of the internationally recognised scoring systems. In this regard, ISO-13528 on statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons provides appropriate standards.
(6) The Committee referred to in Article 21(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC was consulted on 15 May 2008 and delivered a positive opinion on the draft Commission Directive laying down, pursuant to Directive 2000/60/EC, technical specifications for chemical analysis and monitoring of water status. On 6 June 2008 the Commission submitted the said draft for scrutiny by the European Parliament and the Council. The European Parliament did not oppose the draft measures within the set deadline. The Council opposed the adoption by the Commission indicating that the proposed measures exceeded the implementing powers provided for in Directive 2000/60/EC. As a consequence, the Commission did not adopt the draft measures and submitted an amended draft of the concerned Directive to the Committee referred to in Article 21(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC. The Committee was consulted on the said draft by written procedure launched on 28 January 2009 and delivered a positive opinion.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 21(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC,
Subject matter
This Directive lays down technical specifications for chemical analysis and monitoring of water status in accordance with Article 8(3) of Directive 2000/60/EC. It establishes minimum performance criteria for methods of analysis to be applied by Member States when monitoring water status, sediment and biota, as well as rules for demonstrating the quality of analytical results.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Directive, the following definitions shall apply:
1. ‘limit of detection’ means the output signal or concentration value above which it can be affirmed, with a stated level of confidence that a sample is different from a blank sample containing no determinand of interest;
2. ‘limit of quantification’ means a stated multiple of the limit of detection at a concentration of the determinand that can reasonably be determined with an acceptable level of accuracy and precision. The limit of quantification can be calculated using an appropriate standard or sample, and may be obtained from the lowest calibration point on the calibration curve, excluding the blank;
3. ‘uncertainty of measurement’ means a non-negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the quantity values being attributed to a measurand, based on the information used.
Methods of analysis
Member States shall ensure that all methods of analysis, including laboratory, field and on-line methods, used for the purposes of chemical monitoring programmes carried out under Directive 2000/60/EC are validated and documented in accordance with EN ISO/IEC-17025 standard or other equivalent standards accepted at international level.
Minimum performance criteria for methods of analysis
1. Member States shall ensure that the minimum performance criteria for all methods of analysis applied are based on an uncertainty of measurement of 50 % or below (k = 2) estimated at the level of relevant environmental quality standards and a limit of quantification equal or below a value of 30 % of the relevant environmental quality standards.
2. In the absence of relevant environmental quality standard for a given parameter, or in the absence of method of analysis meeting the minimum performance criteria set out in paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that monitoring is carried out using best available techniques not entailing excessive costs.
Calculation of mean values
1. Where the amounts of physico-chemical or chemical measurands in a given sample are below the limit of quantification, the measurement results shall be set to half of the value of the limit of quantification concerned for the calculation of mean values.
2. Where a calculated mean value of the measurement results referred to paragraph 1 is below the limits of quantification, the value shall be referred to as ‘less than limit of quantification’.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to measurands that are total sums of a given group of physico-chemical parameters or chemical measurands, including their relevant metabolites, degradation and reaction products. In those cases, results below the limit of quantification of the individual substances shall be set to zero.
Quality assurance and control
1. Member States shall ensure that laboratories or parties contracted by laboratories apply quality management system practices in accordance with EN ISO/IEC-17025 or other equivalent standards accepted at international level.
2. Member States shall ensure that laboratories or parties contracted by laboratories demonstrate their competences in analysing relevant physico-chemical or chemical measurands by:
(a) participation in proficiency testing programmes covering the methods of analysis referred to in Article 3 of this Directive of measurands at levels of concentrations that are representative of chemical monitoring programmes carried out under Directive 2000/60/EC, and
(b) analysis of available reference materials that are representative of collected samples which contain appropriate levels of concentrations in relation to relevant environmental quality standards referred to in Article 4(1).
3. The proficiency testing programmes referred to in paragraph 2(a) shall be organised by accredited organisations or internationally or nationally recognised organisations which meet the requirements of ISO/IEC guide 43-1 or of other equivalent standards accepted at international level.
The results of participation in those programmes shall be evaluated on the basis of the scoring systems set out in ISO/IEC guide 43-1 or in the ISO-13528 standard or in other equivalent standards accepted at international level.
Transposition
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive at the latest two years after its entry into force. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
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.
Entry into force
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 724/75 of 18 March 1975 establishing a European Regional Development Fund (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 214/79 (2), and in particular Article 13 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 724/75 (hereinafter referred to as the "Fund Regulation") provided, independently of the national allocations of resources fixed by Article 2 (3) (a) of that Regulation, for participation by the Fund in financing specific Community regional development measures which are in particular linked with Community policies and with measures adopted by the Community in order to take better account of their regional dimension or to reduce their regional consequences;
Whereas the Member State concerned has provided the Commission with information on regional problems likely to be the subject of a Community specific measure;
Whereas the Fund's resources are allocated having due regard to the relative severity of regional imbalances within the Community;
Whereas the Council in its resolution of 17 September 1974 on a new Community energy policy (6) expressed its resolve to improve the security of energy supply;
Whereas the European Council, meeting at Strasbourg on 21 and 22 July 1979, expressed its resolve to continue and intensify efforts to limit the consumption of petroleum, and, via economies in energy, the development of indigenous resources and the progressive use of alternative energy sources, to limit, during the period 1980 to 1985, Community imports to an annual level equal to or below that of 1978;
Whereas limitation of petroleum imports is likely to affect particularly those Community Member States who have a substantial energy deficit and a heavy dependence on petroleum imports;
Whereas Italy is one of these Member States and that furthermore the installed electrical power reserves are particularly weak there, and that therefore the risks of power cuts during peak consumption periods are very great;
Whereas the development of the Mezzogiorno, and particularly of its mountain areas, requires the installation of new activities with consequent increased electricity consumption, and that power losses due to long-distance transmission of electricity produced in the north are high, and that therefore there is need to encourage the installation of new local production capacity;
Whereas it is necessary for the Community to reinforce national measures to improve natural supplies of energy in these areas by means of a specific Community regional development measure;
Whereas measures have already been taken in the field of the common agricultural policy, and other assistance from Community funds, capable of being usefully combined, should be given in these areas;
(1) OJ No L 73, 21.3.1975, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 35, 9.2.1979, p. 1. (3) OJ No C 285, 15.11.1979, p. 3. (4) OJ No C 85, 8.4.1980, p. 24. (5) OJ No C 83, 2.4.1980, p. 4. (6) OJ No C 153, 9.7.1975, p. 1. Whereas adoption by public authorities of improved technology (mini-turbines) allowing exploitation of the hitherto under-utilized natural, hydro-electric resources of these regions, and the utilization of alternative energy sources are likely to contribute to realizing these aims, whilst improving the relatively weak electricity distribution network;
Whereas private users with moderate requirements could have an interest in exploiting local sources of hydro-electric power and alternative energy themselves, in view of their own consumption needs, and that for this purpose an active information campaign should be undertaken, and that such users ought to be encouraged to set up the necessary installations;
Whereas the maintenance of these mini-turbines may provide a number of additional jobs for the local population;
Whereas the Community measure must be implemented in the form of a special multi-annual programme ; whereas it is for the Commission, in approving this programme, to ensure that the operations planned thereunder comply with the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the special programme must respond to certain of the objectives encompassed by the regional development programme provided for under Article 6 of the Fund Regulation;
Whereas the Commission must verify that the special programme is properly carried out by examining the annual reports which the Member State concerned will present to it for this purpose;
Whereas, the Council, the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee must be informed regularly on the implementation of this Regulation,
A special Community regional development measure (hereinafter referred to as a "specific measure") within the meaning of Article 13 of the Fund Regulation, is hereby established contributing to improving security of energy supply in certain Community regions by way of improved use of new technologies for hydro-electrical power and of alternative energy sources.
The specific measure shall apply to the mountain areas of the regions of the Mezzogiorno within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as defined by Council Directive 75/273/EEC of 28 April 1975, concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Italy) (2).
1. The specific measure shall be implemented in the form of a special programme (hereinafter referred to as "special programme") to be presented to the Commission by Italy.
2. The aim of the special programme shall be to help improve the development conditions of the areas referred to in Article 2 by strengthening the security of their energy supplies. To this end it shall have as its objective a better use of hydro-electric resources by making possible, by the adoption of new techniques, the re-utilization of abandoned or obsolete works located on water courses with a low streamflow, and also a better use of alternative energy sources. It shall also, by carrying out an information campaign and by aiding feasibility studies, be aimed at encouraging private users themselves to exploit hydro-electric and alternative energy sources. Finally it shall be aimed at providing additional jobs linked to the upkeep of these installations.
3. The special programme shall fall within the framework of the regional development programmes mentioned in Article 6 of the Fund Regulation.
4. The special programme shall contain appropriate information, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation, analysing the situation and needs related to the objectives stated in paragraph 2, the operations proposed, the timetable for carrying them out and, in general, all factors necessary to enable its consistency with regional development objectives to be assessed.
5. The duration of the special programme shall be five years starting from the 60th day after the date on which this Regulation enters into force.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1944/1999(5) increased, for the 1999/2000 marketing year, the maximum amount referred to in the first indent of Article 33(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar.
(3) The estimated total loss recorded in accordance with Article 33(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 necessitates the retention, in respect of the amounts of the production levies applicable for the 1999/2000 marketing year, of the maximum amounts referred to in Article 33 of the said Regulation adjusted, where applicable, by Regulation (EC) No 1944/1999.
(4) Article 34(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 provides that an additional levy is to be charged to manufacturers when the total loss recorded pursuant to Article 33(1) and (2) of the said Regulation is not fully covered by the receipts from the production levies. The total uncovered loss for the 1999/2000 marketing year amounts to 146221038 EUR. The coefficient referred to in Article 34(2) of the said Regulation should consequently be fixed at 0,18506 which represents for the Community as a whole the ratio between the total loss recorded for the 1999/2000 marketing year pursuant to Article 33(1) and (2) of the said Regulation and the receipt from the basic production levy and the B levy for that marketing year, the ratio being reduced by 1.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for sugar,
The production levies in the sugar sector for the 1999/2000 marketing year are hereby fixed as follows:
(a) EUR 1,2638 per 100 kilograms of white sugar as the basic production levy on A sugar and B sugar;
(b) EUR 23,6963 per 100 kilograms of white sugar as the B levy on B sugar;
(c) EUR 0,5330 per 100 kilograms of dry matter as the basic production levy on A isoglucose and B isoglucose;
(d) EUR 9,9425 per 100 kilograms of dry matter as the B levy on B isoglucose;
(e) EUR 1,2638 per 100 kilograms of dry matter equivalent sugar/isoglucose of the basic production levy on A inulin and B inulin syrup;
(f) EUR 23,6963 per 100 kilograms of dry matter equivalent sugar/isoglucose as the B levy on B inulin syrup.
The coefficient provided for in Article 34(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is hereby fixed for the 1999/2000 marketing year at 0,18506.
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.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 4223/88 of 19 December 1988 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for new potatoes originating in Egypt (1989)
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4223/88 of 19 December 1988 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for new potatoes originating in Egypt (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 1 of the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt (1) provides for the opening of Community tariff quotas for imports into the Community of 98 000 tonnes of new potatoes falling within CN code ex 0701 90 51 from 1 January to 31 March, originating in Egypt;
Whereas, within the limits of these tariff quotas, customs duties are to be phased out over the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in Articles 75 and 243 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the quota duties for 1989 are equal to 50 % of the basic duties;
Whereas within the limits of the said tariff quotas the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic are to apply customs duties calculated in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87 of 11 August 1987 laying down the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal, on the one hand, and Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and Turkey, on the other (2); whereas Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened for new potatoes from 1 January to 31 March 1989;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas it is appropriate not to provide for allocation among Member States, without prejudice to the drawing, on the tariff quota, of such quantities as they may need, under conditions and according to a procedure to be determined; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the tariff quota is used and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares levied by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 March 1989, the customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of the following product originating in Egypt shall be suspended at the levels indicated below and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as shown below:
Serial No CN code Description Volume of tariff quota (tonnes) Rate of duty (%) 09.1705 ex 0701 90 51 New potatoes, from 1 January to 31 March 1989 98 000 7,5 2. Within the limits of the tariff quota the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply duties calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87.
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the efficient administration thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the tariff quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedures.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 3 enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have free access to the quota for such times as the balance of the tariff quota so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the said product against their drawings as and when such product is entered with the customs authorities under cover of declarations of entry into free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against the quota.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 469/2011
of 13 May 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’), and in particular Articles 9(4) and 14(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (2) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’), and in particular Article 18(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘the Commission’) after having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
(1) On 10 December 1999 and following an investigation (‘the original anti-subsidy investigation’), the Council imposed, by Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999, a definitive countervailing duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India (3). Following an anti-dumping investigation (‘the original anti-dumping investigation’) and after imposition, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 367/2001, of a provisional anti-dumping duty on 24 February 2001 (4), a definitive anti-dumping duty on PET film originating in India was imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (5).
(2) On 8 March 2006, two Council Regulations concerning imports of PET film originating in India were published: Regulation (EC) No 367/2006 (6) which followed an expiry review investigation and maintained the definitive countervailing duty (‘the expiry review anti-subsidy Regulation’); and Regulation (EC) No 366/2006 (7) (‘the amending anti-dumping Regulation’) which followed a partial interim review investigation and amended the definitive anti-dumping duty on such imports.
(3) On 6 November 2007, following an expiry review, a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of PET film originating in India was imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 (8).
(4) On 20 May 2010, a notice (9) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. In that notice, parties were informed that, in view of the judgment of the General Court of 17 November 2009 in Case T-143/06 (10) (‘the judgement’), imports into the European Union of PET film manufactured by MTZ Polyfilms Limited (‘MTZ Polyfilms’) are no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by the amending anti-dumping Regulation and Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 and that definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to these Regulations on imports of MTZ Polyfilms should be repaid or remitted. The notice also partially reopened the relevant anti-dumping review investigation concerning imports of PET film originating, inter alia, in India in order to implement the above judgment of the General Court as far as MTZ Polyfilms is concerned.
(5) The countervailing duty imposed by the expiry review anti-subsidy Regulation expired on 9 March 2011 (11) according to Article 18(1) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation. In line with the principle that no product shall be subject to both anti-dumping and countervailing duties for the purpose of dealing with one and the same situation arising from dumping or from export subsidisation, the level of the anti-dumping duty rates imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 was set taking into account the amount of the countervailing duty imposed by the expiry review anti-subsidy Regulation, in accordance with Article 14(1) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation. In view of the expiry of the countervailing duty, the anti-dumping duty rates now have to be adjusted.
2. ANTI-DUMPING DUTY RATES AFTER EXPIRY OF THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY ON THE SAME IMPORTS
(6) As indicated in recital 5, the expiry of the countervailing duty on PET film originating in India, on 9 March 2011, requires an adjustment of the anti-dumping duty rates. Indeed, the anti-dumping duty established by Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 consists of the dumping margin minus the subsidisation margin relating to export subsidies. As the countervailing duty has now expired, the level of the anti-dumping duty rates has to be redetermined.
(7) Pursuant to Article 9(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, the amount of the anti-dumping duty shall not exceed the margin of dumping established but should be less than that margin if such lesser duty would be adequate to remove the injury to the Union industry. Consequently, the duty level should be established at the lowest level of the dumping margin and injury elimination level.
(8) In this respect, it is recalled that, in the original anti-dumping investigation, the injury elimination level was in all cases above the dumping margins, as laid out in recital 195 of Regulation (EC) No 367/2001 and confirmed by recital 74 of Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001. Therefore, the anti-dumping duty should be set at the level of the dumping margins established in respect of the various Indian manufacturers, which are as follows:
Company Dumping margin and AD duty rate Reference
Ester Industries Limited 29,3 % Regulation (EC) No 366/2006
Garware Polyester Limited 0 % Implementing Regulation (EU) No 38/2011 (12)
Jindal Poly Films Limited 0 % Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (15)
Polyplex Corporation Limited 3,7 % Regulation (EC) No 366/2006
SRF Limited 15,5 % Regulation (EC) No 1424/2006 (13)
Uflex Limited 3,2 % Regulation (EC) No 366/2006 (16)
Vacmet India Limited 0 % Implementing Regulation (EU) No 205/2011 (14)
All other companies (except MTZ Polyfilms) 29,3 % Regulation (EC) No 366/2006
(9) All known Indian exporting producers of PET film, the Indian authorities and the Union industry of PET film have received disclosure of the above course of action.
(10) Following this disclosure, several Indian companies argued that, as no expiry review was requested for the countervailing measures, the Union industry was apparently in good shape and, therefore, the anti-dumping measures should be terminated as well. In addition, one exporting producer argued that the average dumping margin of the sample should be recalculated since, following an interim review, Garware Polyester Limited, which was one of the companies in the sample, had recently been made subject to a revised individual dumping margin. It should be noted that both claims go beyond the limited scope of the current Regulation which only aims at adjusting the level of the existing anti-dumping duty rates following the expiry of the concurrent countervailing measures on the same imports. Any request to amend the level of the anti-dumping duty rates following an alleged change in circumstances should be presented pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. Therefore, these claims have to be rejected.
(11) One Indian exporting producer argued that, as the countervailing duties had expired, the Commission should now grant a price adjustment to the Indian exporters using the DEPB scheme, which it had refused during the original investigation and interim review investigation. Without prejudice to whether such claim could be examined in the context of the current amending Regulation, it should be noted that, as summarised in recital 50 of Regulation (EC) No 367/2001 and recital 47 of the amending anti-dumping Regulation, the price adjustment claim for DEPB had not been accepted as the producers concerned had not demonstrated that price comparability between domestic and EU sales prices had been affected by the DEPB benefits. That situation has not changed with the expiry of the countervailing duty and this claim, therefore, has to be rejected.
(12) No further substantive comments were received. Consequently, the duty rates should be revised to the levels of the dumping margin, as indicated in the table under recital 8 above,
Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 is replaced by the following:
‘2. The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable to the net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, of the products manufactured by the companies listed below shall be as follows:

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 20 December 1979, the Government of the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "NAC film motion analyzer, model 160 B", to be used to measure the wing-motions of flying birds, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 22 May 1980 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a film analyzer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "NAC film motion analyzer, model 160 B" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the minimum price to be paid to producers in Spain and Portugal and the production aid for the products obtained are to be determined as provided for in Articles 118 and 304 of the Act of Accession; whereas the representative period for determining the minimum price is laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 461/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down, on account of the accession of Spain and Portugal, rules on the production aid system in respect of processed fruit and vegetables (4);
Whereas Article 5 of the said Regulation lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers, the non-member country price and, where appropriate the pattern of processing cost assessed on a flat-rate basis;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
For the marketing year 1987/88:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 to be paid to producers for Williams pears, and
