COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/342
of 2 March 2015
amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as regards the entry for the United States in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which certain poultry commodities may be imported into or transit through the Union in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza following outbreaks in the States of Idaho and California
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption, (1) and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8, point 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(4)(c) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1), 24(2) and 25(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (3) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, including storage during transit, through the Union of poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’). It provides that the commodities may only be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the conditions for a third country, territory, zone or compartment to be considered as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
(3) The United States is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports into and transit through the Union of the commodities covered by that Regulation are authorised from certain parts of its territory depending on the presence of HPAI outbreaks. That regionalisation was recognised by Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/243 (4), following outbreaks of HPAI in the States of Oregon and Washington.
(4) An Agreement between the Union and the United States (5) provides for a swift mutual recognition of regionalisation measures in the event of outbreaks of a disease in the Union or in the United States (‘the Agreement’).
(5) The United States confirmed the presence of HPAI of subtype H5N2 in a poultry flock in the State of Idaho on 20 January 2015 and the presence of HPAI of subtype H5N8 in the State of California on 23 January 2015. The veterinary authorities of the United States immediately suspended issuing veterinary certificates for consignments of commodities intended for export to the Union from those States and from part of the State of Oregon, which have been placed under veterinary restrictions in relation to the new outbreaks. The United States has also implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control HPAI and limit its spread.
(6) Following those outbreaks in the States of Idaho and California, the United States submitted updated information on the epidemiological situation on its territory and the measures it has taken to prevent the further spread of HPAI which has now been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation, as well as the commitments laid down in the Agreement and the guarantees provided by the United States, it is appropriate to extend the prohibition on the introduction into the Union of certain commodities to cover those parts of the States of Idaho, California and Oregon, which the veterinary authorities of the United States have placed under restrictions due to the current outbreaks. The entry for the United States in the list in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended to take account of the current epidemiological situation in that third country.
(7) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer II' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties (82/516/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 7 January 1982, Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer II', ordered in January 1981 and to be used for the study of crucial questions in the field of psychophysiological activation research in a laboratory field comparison in order to evaluate the external validity of psychophysiological activation diagnosis, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 14 May 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an oscilloscope; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Digital Oscilloscope, model Explorer II', which is the subject of an application by Germany of 7 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
Whereas:
(1) The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry are established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.
(2) Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2).
(3) Butafosfan is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance for bovine species, while establishing the absence of the need to establish an MRL.
(4) An application for the extension of the existing entry for butafosfan applicable to porcine species has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.
(5) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended that there is no need to establish an MRL for butafosfan for porcine species.
(6) According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for another species.
(7) The CVMP recommended the extrapolation of the evaluation results of butafosfan from bovine and porcine species to all mammalian food-producing species.
(8) The entry for butafosfan in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance butafosfan for all mammalian food-producing species, while establishing the absence of the need to establish an MRL.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Whereas the Government of Greece transmitted to the Commission on 5 October 1989 a specific programme for the provision of facilities at fishing ports, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme';
Whereas the programme was introduced by the national authorities during the period of validity of Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (3);
Whereas the programme is consistent with the specific programmes concerning the processing and marketing of fish and fish products in Greece adopted under Commission Decision 89/1/EEC (4);
Whereas the programme contributes to the attainment of the objectives of the common fisheries policy;
Whereas the programme complies with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 and contains the details specified in Article 3 of that Regulation relating to facilities at fishing ports;
Whereas sectorial plans which have to be presented by the Member States under Council Regulation (EEC) No 4042/89 of 19 December 1989 on the improvement of conditions of processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products (5), may include the provision of facilities at fishing ports;
Whereas Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4042/89 provides that until 30 June 1991 projects presented under Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 which do not form part of a sectorial plan will be considered for the purpose of financial assistance under that Regulation;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 52/81 of 1 January 1981 laying down detailed rules for the application of accession compensatory amounts
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1/81 of 1 January 1981 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for cereals (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof, and to the corresponding provisions of the other Regulations laying down general rules for the system of compensatory amounts for agricultural products, or for goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products,
Whereas the Act of Accession provides for the application of compensatory amounts in respect of agricultural products and certain other goods, in particular those covered by - Council Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (2) and
- Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 of 11 November 1980 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3);
Whereas compensatory amounts must be charged on import and granted on export ; whereas for the sake of uniformity the procedures to be complied with should be aligned with existing customs procedure to the extent possible ; whereas inter alia the provisions of the following Regulations should be taken into account: - Council Regulation (EEC) No 2102/77 of 20 September 1977 introducing a Community export declaration (4),
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 902/80 (6),
- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 49/81 of 1 January 1981 on methods of administrative cooperation to safeguard during the transitional period the free movement of goods between Greece and the other Member States (7);
Whereas a product should in principle benefit from a compensatory amount only when it is consumed on the market in the Member State of destination ; whereas to check such a condition would result in very burdensome control procedures ; whereas the aim could be achieved by granting the compensatory amount when the product has left the exporting Member States and by ensuring that the product would not obtain a benefit in cases of diversion from its destination;
Whereas in cases where the compensatory amount is higher than the lowest export refund, it is necessary to ensure that the products have been put on the market in the Member State of destination ; whereas, to this end, the provisions of Article 20 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 of 29 November 1979 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2891/80 (9), should apply;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 222/77 of 13 December 1976 on Community transit (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 983/79 (11), allows Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to apply to the Community transit documents the agreements concluded or to be concluded between them with a view to reducing or abolishing frontier (1) OJ No L 1, 1.1.1981, p. 1.

(11) OJ No L 123, 19.5.1979, p. 1. formalities ; whereas for the purpose of the present Regulation these Member States should therefore be regarded as a single Member State;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all the relevant management committees,
1. This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the application of the system of compensatory amounts, hereinafter referred to as "accession compensatory amounts", provided for in Articles 43 and 61 of the Act of Accession of Greece.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation: (a) "products" shall mean both: - agricultural products covered by the common market organization, and

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 December 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to 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), and in particular Article 121, first paragraph, point (m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (2) and in particular point (a) of the second subparagraph of Article 6(3a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For beverages containing more than 1,2 % by volume of alcohol, the first subparagraph of Article 6(3a) of Directive 2000/13/EC provides for the obligation to label all ingredients defined in paragraph 4(a) of that Article and listed in Annex IIIa to that Directive.
(2) The exemption from this obligation as regards wines, within the meaning of Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, placed on the market or labelled before 30 June 2012 until stocks are exhausted, as provided for in Commission Directive 2007/68/EC (3), as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1266/2010 (4), will no longer apply as from 30 June 2012.
(3) It is therefore necessary to establish detailed rules for labelling these beverages, including a mention of the substances referred to in Annex IIIa to Directive 2000/13/EC and used when making the beverages, if their presence can be detected in the final product using the analysis methods referred to in Article 120g of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and if they consequently must be considered ingredients within the meaning of Article 6(4)(a) of Directive 2000/13/EC.
(4) In a multilingual context, labelling products using pictograms may improve the readability of the information provided to consumers and offer better guarantees for consumers. Therefore operators should be given the possibility of complementing written information with pictograms.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 (5) should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to prevent the new rules from affecting the marketing of products that are already labelled, it should be specified that they apply only to wines made completely or partially from grapes harvested in 2012 or later and labelled after 30 June 2012.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 51 is replaced by the following:
(2) Annex X is replaced by the contents of the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 5 June 2007
abrogating Decision 2004/917/EC on the existence of an excessive deficit in Greece
(2007/465/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(12) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Decision 2004/917/EC (1), following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, it was decided that an excessive deficit existed in Greece. The Council noted that the general government deficit was 3,2 % of GDP in 2003, above the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value, while general government gross debt stood at 103 % of GDP, well above the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value. Figures on general government deficit and general government gross debt for 2003 were revised on several occasions subsequent to Decision 2004/917/EC. According to the most recent data, the deficit and debt represented 6,2 % of GDP and 107,8 % of GDP respectively.
(2) On 6 July 2004, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (2), the Council addressed a recommendation to Greece with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end by 2005 at the latest. The recommendation was made public.
(3) On 19 January 2005, by Council Decision 2005/334/EC (3), in accordance with Article 104(8), the Council decided, based on a recommendation from the Commission, that Greece had not taken effective action in response to the Council recommendation under Article 104(7). On 17 February 2005, by Council Decision 2005/441/EC (4), the Council decided, based on a recommendation from the Commission, to give notice to Greece in accordance with Article 104(9) to take measures for the deficit reduction judged necessary in order to remedy the situation of excessive deficit and extended the deadline for the correction by one year, to 2006.
(4) In accordance with Article 104(12) of the Treaty, a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated when the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected.
(5) In accordance with the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty, the Commission provides the data for the implementation of the procedure. As part of the application of the Protocol, Member States are to notify data on government deficits and debt and other associated variables twice a year, namely before 1 April and before 1 October, in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (5).
(6) Based on data provided by the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 8g(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 following the notification by Greece on 1 April 2007 and on the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, the following conclusions are warranted:
— the general government deficit was reduced from 7,9 % of GDP in 2004 to 2,6 % of GDP in 2006, which is below the 3 % of GDP deficit reference value. This is identical to the target set in the December 2005 update of the stability programme,
— revenues and expenditure contributed to the nominal adjustment of almost 3 percentage points of GDP compared to the 2005 deficit of 5,5 % in almost equal shares. Expressed in terms of the GDP, total revenues increased by 1 percentage points of GDP, with indirect taxes accounting for one-half of a percentage point of GDP. The remaining percentage point is accounted for by increases in social contributions and other revenues, including capital transfers (EU transfers). Total expenditure was reduced by 1 percentage points of GDP, mainly driven by reductions in primary expenditure (by 0,5 % of GDP) and in interest expenditure (0,25 % of GDP). Capital expenditures were also reduced by around one-half of a percentage point of GDP. One-off revenues amounted to 0,6 % of GDP. The improvement in the structural balance (i.e. the cyclically-adjusted balance net of one-off and other temporary measures) is estimated at 2,25 % of GDP in 2006. The deficit debt adjustment at 2,3 % of GDP is largely explained,
— for 2007, the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast projects that the deficit will be reduced further, to 2,4 % of GDP. This is in line with the official deficit target of 2,4 % of GDP set in the December 2006 update of the stability programme. However, the Commission services’ forecast includes additional one-off revenues amounting to 0,25 % of GDP, as well as permanent expenditure-saving measures amounting to about 0,25 % of GDP, both as announced by the cut-off date of the Commission services spring 2007 forecast and thus not reflected in the December 2006 official target. In spite of this, the spring forecast deficit projection for 2007 is not better than the target as the impact of these new measures is offset both by more cautious growth assumptions and the fact that the permanent measures planned for 2007 would not, in the view of the Commission, fully replace the decline in one-off revenues. Without one-offs, the deficit would still be below the reference value, at 2,9 % of GDP. For 2008, the spring forecast projects, on a no-policy-change basis, a deficit of 2,7 % of GDP without inclusion of one-offs for 2008. This indicates that the deficit has been brought below the 3 % of GDP ceiling in a credible and sustainable manner. The structural balance is projected to improve in 2007 by around one quarter of a percentage point of GDP and, on a no-policy change basis, by a marginal amount in 2008. This has to be seen against the need to make progress towards the medium-term objective for the budgetary position, which for Greece is a balanced position in structural terms,
— government debt declined from 108,5 % of GDP in 2004 to 104,5 % in 2006. According to the spring 2007 forecast, the debt ratio is projected to fall further to around 97,5 % by the end of 2008, still well above the 60 % of GDP reference value. The debt ratio can be considered as sufficiently diminishing towards the 60 % of GDP reference value.
(7) The Greek statistical authorities improved their procedures, which led to a significant reduction in the statistical discrepancies and an overall higher quality of the general government data. The Greek authorities are committed to implementing fully the action plan to improve public finance statistics. As a result, Eurostat withdrew its reservations on the quality of the reported data.
(8) In the view of the Council, the excessive deficit in Greece has been corrected and Decision 2004/917/EC should therefore be abrogated,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Greece has been corrected.
Decision 2004/917/EC is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1435/98 of 29 June 1998 prohibiting imports of Atlantic blue-fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) originating in Belize, Honduras, and Panama
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas fishery resources, which are an exhaustible natural resource, must be protected in the interests of biological balances and global food security;
Whereas the European Community recognises the authority and the responsibility of the competent international organisations for stocks fished in international waters, and actively encourages their action; whereas the Community therefore subscribes to the objectives fixed by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) and endorses the measures in its 1994 and 1996 recommendations aimed at ensuring the effectiveness of the blue-fin tuna conservation programme;
Whereas the European Community has become a Contracting Party to ICCAT, as from 14 November 1997, and is therefore bound to implement the measures in question; whereas implementation must be handled by the Community, which has sole competence in the matter; whereas overfishing of Atlantic blue-fin tuna caused ICCAT to adopt an action plan in 1994 to ensure the effectiveness of measures to conserve the species; whereas the stocks concerned cannot be managed effectively by the ICCAT contracting parties, whose fishermen are obliged to reduce their catches of Atlantic blue-fin tuna, unless all non-contracting parties cooperate with ICCAT and comply with its conservation and management measures;
Whereas in 1995 ICCAT identified Belize, Honduras and Panama as countries whose vessels fish Atlantic blue-fin tuna in a manner prejudicial to the organisation's measures to conserve the species, substantiating its findings with data concerning catches, trade and the observation of vessels;
Whereas ICCAT's attempts to encourage the three countries to comply with measures for the conservation and management of Atlantic blue-fin tuna have been to no avail;
Whereas ICCAT has instructed the contracting parties to take appropriate measures to prohibit imports from Belize, Honduras and Panama of Atlantic blue-fin tuna products in any form; whereas this measure will be lifted as soon as it is established that the countries in question have brought their fishing practices into line with ICCAT's measures; whereas this measure must therefore be implemented by the Community;
Whereas this measure is compatible with the Community's obligations under other international agreements,
1. The release for free circulation in the Community of Atlantic blue-fin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) of CN codes 0302 39 11, 0302 39 91, 0303 49 21, 0303 49 23, 0303 49 29, ex 0303 49 90, ex 0304 10 98, ex 0304 20 45, ex 0305 20 00, ex 0305 30 90, ex 0305 49 80, ex 0305 59 90, ex 0305 69 90, ex 1604 14 11, ex 1604 14 16, ex 1604 14 18 and ex 1604 20 70 originating in Belize, Honduras and Panama is hereby prohibited.
2. The landing of products mentioned in paragraph 1 for the purposes of Community transit is hereby prohibited.
This Regulation shall not apply to quantities of the products referred to in Article 1(1) which can be shown to the satisfaction of the competent national authorities to have been under way to Community territory on the date of its entry into force and which are released for free circulation no later than fourteen days after that date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The intervention agencies are, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (2), to sell by invitation to tender certain quantities of butter from intervention stocks that they hold and to grant aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter.

COUNCIL DECISION 2014/161/EU
of 11 March 2014
amending Decision 2009/831/EC as regards its period of application
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2009/831/EC (2) authorised Portugal, up to 31 December 2013, to apply a reduced rate of excise duty in Madeira, as an outermost region, on locally produced and consumed rum and liqueurs and in the Azores, as an outermost region, on locally produced and consumed liqueurs and eaux-de-vie. Article 2 of that Decision confined the above derogation to specific products. Pursuant to that Decision, Portugal could apply to those products a rate of excise duty lower than the full rate on alcohol laid down in Article 3 of Council Directive 92/84/EEC (3), and lower than the minimum rate of excise duty on alcohol laid down in Directive 92/84/EEC, but not more than 75 % lower than the standard national excise duty on alcohol.
(2) The application of a lower excise duty rate establishes differentiated taxation, benefiting the local production of some products. This constitutes State aid that requires the approval of the Commission.
(3) The Commission has confirmed that the reduction of the rate of excise duty should continue to be authorised to offset the competitive disadvantage which distilled alcoholic beverages produced in Madeira and in the Azores face as a result of higher production and marketing costs, generated from the specific structural, social and economic situation of those two outermost regions, which is compounded by their special constraints, referred to in Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and which already previously justified the derogation set out in Decision 2009/831/EC.
(4) Since that specific structural, social and economic situation in those outermost regions still persists, it is necessary to further extend the period of application of Decision 2009/831/EC.
(5) On 28 June 2013, the Commission adopted its Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-20, setting out how Member States can grant aid to companies in order to support the development of disadvantaged regions in Europe between 2014 and 2020. Those Guidelines, which will enter into force on 1 July 2014, form part of a broader strategy to modernise State aid control, aiming at fostering growth in the Single Market by encouraging more effective aid measures and focusing the Commission’s enforcement on cases with the biggest impact on competition.
(6) Decision 2009/831/EC was applicable until 31 December 2013. It is therefore appropriate to extend the period of application of Decision 2009/831/EC for six months, so that its expiry date coincides with the date of entry into force of the Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-20.
(7) It should, however, be ensured that Portugal can apply without any interruption the reductions in question as from the expiry of the analogous authorisation granted through Decision 2009/831/EC. The new authorisation requested should, therefore, be granted with effect from 1 January 2014.
(8) Decision 2009/831/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 5 of Decision 2009/831/EC, the date ‘31 December 2013’ is replaced by the date ‘30 June 2014’.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
It shall apply from 1 January 2014.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regrd to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2040/2001
of 18 October 2001
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(2), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 October 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

2005/752/EC: Commission Decision of 24 October 2005 establishing an expert group on electronic commerce
|
26.10.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 282/20
COMMISSION DECISION
of 24 October 2005
establishing an expert group on electronic commerce
(2005/752/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Whereas:
(1) In the framework of the Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market (Directive on electronic commerce) (1), the Member States were asked to appoint one or several national contact points to enhance cooperation with other Member States (Article 19.2 of the Directive).
(2) Thereafter, the First Report on the application of Directive 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce (COM(2003) 702 final of 21 November 2003) in chapter seven envisaged that the Commission will now ‘focus on ensuring the practical functioning of administrative cooperation and the continuous exchange of information between the Commission and the Member States themselves’.
(3) Moreover, it is useful to give Member States the possibility to discuss problems in the application of the Directive on electronic commerce and emerging issues in the area of electronic commerce. It is also important to encourage and facilitate cooperation between them and the Commission. The Expert Group will thus provide a useful forum to exchange views on the practical implementation and application of the Directive, including information on codes of conduct drawn up by consumer and professional associations, codes of conduct on on-line advertising by regulated professions; national case law, especially related to the liability provisions; new developments mentioned in Article 21 of the Directive, such as liability of providers of hyperlinks and location tool services and ‘notice and take down’ procedures; and to discuss the possible scope of the subsequent evaluation reports on the application of the Directive on electronic commerce.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws (the Regulation on consumer protection cooperation) (2) establishes a network of public authorities responsible for the protection of consumers economic interests, partially harmonises their investigation and enforcement powers and provides mutual assistance arrangements between them. The provisions of Directive 2000/31/EC that protect consumers' economic interests enter within the scope of the Regulation. It is appropriate that the Committee set up for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 regularly informs the Expert group on electronic commerce about its activities which may be relevant for the latter,
An expert group on electronic commerce (hereinafter referred to as the Group) is established.
Mission
The Commission can consult the Group on any questions relating to the directive on electronic commerce. This covers, among others, the following areas:
— administrative cooperation in the context of Article 3(4) to (6) procedure to restrict the freedom to provide services against a given information society service provider,
— information on codes of conduct drawn up at Community level by trade, professional and consumer associations or organisations, designed to contribute to the proper implementation of Articles 5 to 15 of the Directive (Article 16 of the Directive),
— codes of conduct on on-line advertising by regulated professions (Article 8 of the Directive),
— national case law, especially related to the liability provisions, including decisions taken in out-of-court dispute settlement (Articles 17 and 19(5) of the Directive),
— areas currently outside the scope of the liability section of the Directive but referred to in Article 21, such as: ‘notice and take down’ procedures, hyperlinks and search engines,

(notified under document C(2009) 10113)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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(4) 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 valid 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 authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.
(5) In order to stimulate innovation, health claims which are based on newly developed scientific evidence and/or which include a request for the protection of proprietary data shall undergo an accelerated type of authorisation. Where at the applicant’s request for the protection of proprietary data, the Commission proposes to restrict the use of such data in favour of the applicant, such restriction shall, in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 expire after 5 years.
(6) Following an application from Provexis Natural Products Ltd, submitted on 7 January 2009 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 water-soluble tomato concentrate (WSTC) I and II on the blood platelet activity in healthy people (Question No EFSA-Q-2009-00229) (2). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Helps to maintain a healthy blood flow and benefits circulation’.
(7) On 28 May 2009, 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 had been established between the consumption of WSTC I and II and helping to maintain normal platelet aggregation. Subject to a revised wording, taking into account in particular the requirement referred to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the claim should be considered as complying with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, and it should be included in the Community list of permitted claims.
(8) One of the objectives of the Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 is to ensure that health claims are truthful, clear and reliable and useful to the consumer, and that wording and presentation are taken into account in that respect. Therefore, where the wording of claims used by the applicant has the same meaning for consumers as that of an authorised health claim, because they demonstrate the same relationship that exists between a food category, a food or one of its constituents and health, they should be subject to the same conditions of use, as indicated in the Annex to the present Decision.
(9) The Authority indicated in its opinion that its conclusions could not have been reached without considering the nine studies claimed by the applicant as proprietary.
(10) Following the receipt of the Authority’s opinion, the Commission went back to the applicant for further clarification on the justification provided regarding the nine studies claimed as proprietary and in particular regarding the ‘exclusive right of reference’ as referred to in Article 21(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. All the justifiable information provided by the applicant has been assessed. For the seven unpublished studies it is considered that the requirements laid down in Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 are fulfilled. Accordingly, the scientific data and other information included in the seven studies may not be used for the benefit of a subsequent applicant for a period of 5 years from the date of authorisation, under the conditions laid down in Article 21(1) of that Regulation. For the two studies, which had been published prior to the submission of the application for authorisation of the health claim (3), it is considered that as the studies have been published and made available to the public domain, their protection is not justified in the light of the objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 among which to protect the investment made by innovators in gathering the information and data supporting an application under that Regulation and accordingly it should not be granted.
(11) The comments from the applicant 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 Decision.
(12) The Member States have been consulted,
The health claim set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be included in the Community list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
The scientific data and other information included in the studies identified in the Annex to this Decision shall be restricted for use for the benefit of the applicant for a period of 5 years from the date of authorisation under the conditions laid down in Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
This Decision is addressed to Provexis Natural Products Ltd, Thames Court, 1 Victoria Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1YB, United Kingdom.

Whereas:
(1) The classification of a video conferencing system consisting of various components including two installation diskettes in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2184/97 of 3 November 1997 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature (2) has led to classifications under CN code 8517 50 90 for the video conferencing system and 8524 91 10 for the two installation diskettes.

Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the unit production aid must be reduced in each Member State where actual production exceeds the guaranteed national quantity referred to in paragraph 3 of that article. In assessing the extent of the overrun, account should be taken of the estimates for the production of table olives processed into olive oil, expressed as olive-oil equivalent using the relevant coefficients referred to, for Spain, in Commission Decision 2001/650/EC(5), as amended by Decision 2001/883/EC(6), for Greece, in Commission Decision 2001/649/EC(7), as amended by Decision 2001/880/EC(8), for Portugal in Commission Decision 2001/670/EC(9), as amended by Decision 2001/878/EC(10), for France in Commission Decision 2001/648/EC(11), as amended by Decision 2001/879/EC(12) and, for Italy, in Commission Decision 2001/658/EC(13), as amended by Decision 2001/884/EC(14).
(2) Article 17a of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that in order to determine the unit amount of the production aid for olive oil that can be paid in advance, the estimated production for the marketing year concerned should be determined. That amount must be fixed at a level that avoids any risk of unwarranted payment to olive growers. The amount also applies to table olives, expressed as olive-oil equivalent.
(3) In order to establish the estimated production, Member States must forward to the Commission data for the olive oil and, where appropriate, table olive production estimates for each marketing year. The Commission may use other sources of information. On the basis of that data, the estimated production of olive oil and table olives, expressed as olive-oil equivalent, should be fixed for each Member State at the levels indicated below.
(4) In determining the amount of the advance, account must be taken of the amount withheld for measures to improve the quality of olive oil and tables olive production provided for in Article 5(9) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
1. For the marketing year 2001/02, the estimated production of olive oil is:
- 1575575 tonnes for Spain,
- 2592 tonnes for France,
- 398588 tonnes for Greece,
- 713620 tonnes for Italy,
- 33808 tonnes for Portugal.
2. For the marketing year 2001/02, the estimated production of table olives, expressed as olive-oil equivalent, is:
- 64155 tonnes for Spain, using a coefficient of equivalence of 11,5 %,
- 130 tonnes for France, using a coefficient of equivalence of 13 %,
- 13000 tonnes for Greece, using a coefficient of equivalence of 13 %,
- 1806 tonnes for Italy, using a coefficient of equivalence of 13 %,
- 782 tonnes for Portugal, using a coefficient of equivalence of 11,5 %.
3. For the marketing year 2001/02, the advance referred to in Article 17a(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 shall be:
- EUR 57,18 per 100 kilograms for Spain,
- EUR 117,36 per 100 kilograms for France,
- EUR 117,36 per 100 kilograms for Greece,
- EUR 90,54 per 100 kilograms for Italy,
- EUR 117,36 per 100 kilograms for Portugal.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1428/86
of 14 May 1986
laying down detailed rules for the granting of private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses during the 1986/1987 milk year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1335/86 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 (3) provides that private storage aid may be granted for certain long-keeping cheeses where there is a serious imbalance of the market which may be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the seasonal nature of Emmentaler and Gruyère cheese production is aggravated by the fact that the seasonal consumption of these cheeses is the opposite of their production; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for recourse to such storage in respect of a quantity corresponding to the difference between summer and winter production;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of this measure should essentially be the same as those laid down for a similar measure during previous milk years, and in particular 1985/1986 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1083/85 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 22 150 tonnes of Emmentaler and Gruyère cheeses manufactured in the Community which satisfy the requirements of Articles 2 and 3 hereof.
1. The intervention agency may conclude storage contracts only if the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the batch of cheeses to which a contract relates must comprise at least five tonnes;
(b) the cheeses shall be indelibly marked with an indication (which may take the form of a number) of the undertaking in which they were manufactured and of the day and month of manufacture;
(c) the cheeses must have been manufactured at least 10 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage;
(d) the cheeses must have undergone quality tests which established that their classification after maturing could be expected to be:
- 'class A' in France,
- 'Markenkaese' or 'Klasse Fein' in Germany,
- '1st quality' in Denmark,
- 'Special Grade' in Ireland;
(e) the storer shall undertake:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is as indicated under paragraph 2,
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorization from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorize an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorization of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration,
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock records and to inform the intervention agency each week of the cheeses put into and withdrawn from storage during the previous week.
2. The maximum temperature in the storage premises shall be +6 °C for Emmentaler and +10 °C for Gruyère. In the case of Emmentaler which has already been matured, Member States may permit a maximum temperature of +10 °C.
3. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this date may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date when storage by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for such cheeses as are put into storage during the storing period. This period shall begin on 1 May 1986 and end on or before 30 September of the same year.
2. Stored cheese may be withdrawn from storage only during the period for withdrawal. This period shall begin on 1 October 1986 and end on 31 March of the following year.
1. The amount of the aid shall be 2,24 ECU per tonne per day.
Conversion into national currency shall be carried out using the representative rate applicable on the day of withdrawal from storage.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 90 days. The maximum aid payable shall not exceed an amount corresponding to 180 days' storage under contract.
By way of derogation from the second indent of Article 2 (1) (e), when the period of 90 days specified in the first subparagraph has elapsed and the period for withdrawal referred to in Article 3 (2) has begun, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to two tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove the batch of cheese covered by the contract, shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
The periods, dates and time limits referred to in this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 (1). Nevertheless, Article 3 (4) of that Regulation shall not apply in respect of the determination of the periods referred to in this Regulation.
The intervention agency shall take the measures necessary to ensure that checks are kept on the batches which are the subject of contracts. It shall, in particular, see that the cheeses comprised in those batches are marked.
The Member States shall communicate to the Commission on or before the Tuesday of each week particulars as to the following:
(a) the quantities of cheese for which storage contracts have been concluded during the preceding week;
(b) any quantities in respect of which the authorization referred to in the second indent of Article 2 (1) (e) has been given.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 May 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Tariff and Statistical Nomenclature Section of the Customs Code Committee,
The goods described in column 1 of the annexed table are now classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the appropriate CN codes indicated in column 2 of the said table.
Subject to the measures in force in the Community relating to double checking systems and to prior and retrospective Community surveillance of textile products on importation into the Community, binding tariff information in the matter of classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature issued by the customs authorities of the Member States which no longer conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with the provisions of Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of 60 days.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1544/95 (2), and in particular Article 38 (5) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2721/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2181/91 (4), lays down detailed rules for voluntary distillation as provided for in Articles 38, 41 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1848/95 (5) fixes the prices, aid and certain other amounts applicable to preventive distillation for the 1995/96 wine year;

Whereas the current situation on the market for table wines, with high stocks at the end of the wine year and a reduction in prices on certain markets, is adversely affecting producers' incomes; whereas a volume of the products concerned should be removed from the market by re-opening preventive distillation, for the unused volume of 2 700 000 hl, reserved for table wines with a view, in addition, to improving the quality of products on the market;
Whereas, if the overall quantity applied for per region exceeds the quantities provided for, the Member States must apply a single reduction rate for all new contracts submitted;
Whereas, for the proper administration of the quantities in question, it is necessary to derogate from certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2721/81 and to lay down that the quantities applied for in the contracts and declarations may be reduced;

of 22 December 2011
authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize Bt11xMIR604xGA21 (SYN-BTØ11-1xSYN-IR6Ø4-5xMON-ØØØ21-9) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Article 7(3) and Article 19(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 31 March 2008, Syngenta Seeds SAS submitted to the competent authority of the United Kingdom an application, in accordance with Article 5 and Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients, and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11xMIR604xGA21 maize (‘the application’).
(2) The application also covers the placing on the market of products other than food and feed containing or consisting of Bt11xMIR604xGA21 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation. Therefore, in accordance with Article 5(5) and Article 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, it includes the data and information required by Annexes III and IV to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (2) and information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC. It also includes a monitoring plan for environmental effects conforming with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC.
(3) On 15 June 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (‘EFSA’) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Article 6 and Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. It considered that maize Bt11xMIR604xGA21 is as safe as its non-genetically modified counterpart with respect to potential effects on human and animal health or the environment. Therefore it concluded that it is unlikely that the placing on the market of the products containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11xMIR604xGA21 maize as described in the application (‘the products’) will have any adverse effects on human or animal health or the environment in the context of their intended uses (3). In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Article 6(4) and Article 18(4) of that Regulation.
(4) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products.
(5) Taking into account those considerations, authorisation should be granted for the products.
(6) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (4).
(7) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11xMIR604xGA21 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided for by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and products other than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (5), lays down labelling requirements in Article 4(6) for products containing or consisting of GMOs. Traceability requirements for products containing or consisting of GMOs are laid down in paragraphs 1 to 5 of Article 4 and for food and feed produced from GMOs are laid down in Article 5 of that Regulation.
(9) The authorisation holder should submit annual reports on the implementation and the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan for environmental effects. Those results should be presented in accordance with Commission Decision 2009/770/EC of 13 October 2009 establishing standard reporting formats for presenting the monitoring results of the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms, as or in products, for the purpose of placing on the market, pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). The EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market and/or specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements for the use of the food and feed, or of specific conditions for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment and/or geographical areas, as provided for in point (e) of Article 6(5) and Article 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(10) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(11) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing-House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Article 9(1) and Article 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms (7).
(12) The applicant has been consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision.
(13) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chair and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures.
(14) Since, at its meeting on 15 December 2011, the Council was unable to reach a decision by qualified majority either for or against the proposal and the Council indicated that its proceedings on this file were concluded, these measures are to be adopted by the Commission,
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier

fixing for the period 1988/89 certain coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2221/88 (2), and in particular Article 16 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 states that the quantity of cereals on which the refund shall be granted shall be that placed under control, weighted by a coefficient fixed annually for each Member State concerned, expressing the ratio between the total quantity exported and the total quantity marketed of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, the relevant information having been received from the United Kingdom for the period 1 January to 31 December 1987, the coefficients for the period 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989 should now be fixed;
Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 provides for adjustment of the coefficient where foreseeable export trends in one of the Member States concerned show a tendency to change significantly; whereas this assessment may be made by taking account of a sufficiently long reference period to eliminate short, insignificant fluctuations; whereas a period of six years prior to the year in question complies with this criterion; whereas, moreover, an annual difference of less than 1 % between the respective trends in exports and total quantities sold cannot show a tendency towards significant change;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989, the coefficient referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 and applicable to cereals used in the United Kingdom for the manufacture of Scotch whisky shall be as shown in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION of 28 November 1997 on the implementation of Joint Action 96/588/CFSP on anti-personnel landmines with a view to co-financing the special appeals from the ICRC (97/818/CFSP)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles J.3 and J.11 thereof,
Having regard to the general guidelines of the European Council held on 26 and 27 June 1992 which identified the areas falling within the security sphere which could, as from the entry into force of the Treaty on European Union, be the subject of joint actions,
Whereas on 1 October 1996, the Council adopted Joint Action 96/588/CFSP (1) on the basis of Article J.3 of the Treaty on European Union on anti-personnel landmines;

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3) and Article 14,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (2) lays down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.
(3) The Union list of food additives and the specifications may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application (3).
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter: ‘the Authority’), in its opinion of 22 May 2008 (4) recommended to lower the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) for aluminium to 1 mg/kg body weight/week. In addition, the Authority considered that the revised TWI was generally exceeded for high consumers, especially children, in a significant part of the Union. In order to ensure that the revised TWI is not exceeded, the conditions of use and the use levels for food additives containing aluminium, including aluminium lakes were amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 380/2012 (5).
(5) Regulation (EU) No 380/2012 provides that aluminium lakes prepared from all colours listed in Table 1 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are authorised until 31 July 2014. From 1 August 2014 only aluminium lakes prepared from the colours listed in Table 3 of Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are authorised and only in those food categories where provisions on maximum limits on aluminium coming from lakes are explicitly stated in Part E of that Annex.
(6) Applications for authorisation of the use of aluminium lakes of riboflavins (E 101) and the extension of use of aluminium lakes of cochineal, carminic acid, carmines (E 120) were submitted in the course of 2013 and have been made available to the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008. While considering the applications a special attention was paid to a possible exposure to aluminium in order not to undermine Regulation (EU) No 380/2012.
(7) In aluminium lakes of colours the dye is rendered insoluble and functions differently to its dye equivalent (e.g. improved light, pH and heat stability, preventing colour bleed and providing a different colour shade to dye colours) making the lake form suitable for certain specific technical applications.
(8) The authorisation of aluminium lakes of riboflavins provides an alternative to aluminium lakes of other yellow colours in foods in which the use of aluminium lakes is authorised. The use levels requested for aluminium lakes of cochineal, carminic acid, carmines are low and the extension of use is either to niche products or to products which are not consumed by children. A higher use level for pasteurised fish roe is needed due to the heat treatment to guarantee a stable colour during the shelf life of the product. It is not expected that the authorisation of aluminium lakes of riboflavins and the extension of use of aluminium lakes of cochineal, carminic acid, carmines would have a significant impact on the total exposure to aluminium.
(9) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where such update is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the authorisation of aluminium lakes of riboflavins and the extensions of use of aluminium lakes of cochineal, carminic acid, carmines constitute updates of that list which are not liable to have an effect on human health, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the Authority.
(10) Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 stipulates that a colour may be used in the form of aluminium lakes only where explicitly stated. Therefore, the authorisation of aluminium lakes of riboflavins (E 101) requires modification of the specifications for that food additive provided in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 with regard to use of aluminium lakes of colours.
(11) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 should be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) The measures currently in force are definitive countervailing duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000(2), under which imports into the Community of certain polyethylene terephtalate (the product concerned) originating in Thailand are subject to a duty, in the form of a specific amount per tonne, i.e. EUR 49,1 per tonne.
(2) It should be noted that the same imports are also subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of EUR 83,2 per tonne, imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000(3).
B. CURRENT INVESTIGATION
1. Request for a review
(3) The Commission subsequently received a request to initiate an accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000, pursuant to Article 20 of the basic Regulation, from the Thai producer Indo Pet (Thailand) Ltd (Indo Pet). This company claimed that it was not individually investigated during the original period of investigation (i.e. from 1 October 1998 to 30 September 1999) for reasons other than the refusal to cooperate with the Commission.
(4) It should be noted that the Commission simultaneously received, from the same Thai producer, a request to initiate a "new exporter" review of Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000. This parallel proceeding is subject to a separate Council Regulation.
2. Initiation of an accelerated review
(5) The Commission examined the evidence submitted by the Thai exporting producer concerned and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of an accelerated review in accordance with Article 20 of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union(4), a review of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 with regard to the company concerned and commenced its investigation.
3. Product concerned
(6) The product covered by the current review is the same as in the original investigation, i.e. polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a coefficient of viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to DIN (Deutsche Industrienorm) 53728. It is currently classifiable within CN code 3907 60 20.
4. Parties concerned
(7) The Commission officially advised the company concerned and the representatives of the exporting country of the initiation of the review. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. No such request was however received.
(8) The Commission also sent out a questionnaire to the Government of Thailand and to the company concerned and received a reply within the deadline. The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for the determination of subsidisation, and a verification visit was carried out at the premises of the company concerned.
5. Investigation period
(9) The investigation of subsidisation covered the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 March 2003 (investigation period or IP).
6. Methodology
(10) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the current investigation.
C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW
(11) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made in the request for the investigation, the review was limited to subsidies granted to Indo Pet.
(12) The Commission examined the same subsidy schemes that were analysed in the original investigation. It also examined whether the new exporter had used any subsidy schemes that were alleged to be granted in the original complaint but not found to have been used during the original investigation period.
(13) It was finally examined whether the new exporters had made use of any subsidy schemes that were established after the end of the original investigation period, or had received ad hoc subsidies after this date.
D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. New exporter qualification
(14) The investigation confirmed that the company concerned was not individually investigated during the original investigation for reasons other than a refusal to cooperate with the Commission.
(15) Accordingly, it is confirmed that the company concerned should be considered a new exporter in accordance with Article 20 of the basic Regulation, and thus an individual amount of subsidy could be determined for it.
2. Subsidisation
(16) The original investigation showed that the following schemes - under the Investment Promotion Act (IPA) - from which the applicant may potentially benefit, were specific within the meaning of Article 3(2)(a) and (2)(b) of the basic Regulation and thus countervailable(5):
- exemption or reduction on duties on imports of machinery,
- exemption from corporate income tax,
- additional incentives under the form of a double deduction of certain expenses for enterprises located in special investment promotion zones,
- exemption of import duties on raw and essential materials.
(17) The current investigation revealed that, since the end of the original period of investigation, no change occurred that would alter the conclusions that the above schemes are still countervailable. Additionally, the investigation did not reveal that the company benefited from any other than the above subsidy schemes.
Exemption or reduction on duties on imports of machinery
(18) Section 28 of the IPA is the legal basis to grant the exemption of import duties on machinery, provided that such machinery is not being produced or assembled in Thailand, and provided that it will be used in the promoted activity, as defined by the IPA. Section 29 of the IPA provides the legal basis for the 50 % reduction on import duties on imported machinery.
(19) The benefit to the exporter should be calculated on the basis of the amount of unpaid customs duty due on imported capital goods, by spreading this amount across a period which reflects the normal depreciation of such capital goods in the industry of the product concerned, pursuant to Article 7(3) of the basic Regulation.
(20) On this basis, the benefit received by Indo Pet is of less than 0,1 % which is considered immaterial.
Exemption from corporate income tax and additional incentives for enterprises located in special investment promotion zones
(21) These two countervailable schemes are defined by Sections 31 and 35(3) of the IPA.
(22) By virtue of Section 31 of the IPA, exemptions from the corporate income tax are authorised for a period ranging between three to eight years, depending on the location of the investments. Different eligibility criteria are applied to different geographical zones (zones 1 to 3, as defined by the IPA). Indo Pet, being located in the so-called zone 3, has been granted an eight-year corporate income tax exemption pursuant to Section 31 of the IPA. Indo Pet was further granted additional incentives under the form of a double deduction of transportation, electricity and water supply costs, as provided by Section 35(3) of the IPA.
(23) The benefit obtained by a company in the case of tax exemptions and tax reductions is calculated by reference to the amount of tax that would have been payable by the recipient company during the investigation period, had it not been able to benefit from a subsidy scheme. In the current case, the amount of tax normally payable during the IP is the tax payable during the tax year 2002 (no data regarding any tax payable amount concerning the first three months of the tax year 2003 being available during the on-spot investigation), and these taxes due are incurred in respect of revenue earned in 2001. On this basis, it was established that further to the provisions of Sections 35(3) of the IPA, the company concerned offset a significant part of its relevant taxable profit, the remaining part of which was totally exempted from corporate income tax pursuant to Section 31 of the IPA. The benefit granted to the company therefore consists of the amount of corporate income tax that the company did not have to pay during the IP by making use of the two countervailable schemes concerned.
(24) The subsidy obtained through the two above schemes was not granted by reference to quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported. Therefore, pursuant to Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation, the amount of countervailable subsidy was determined by allocating the value of the total benefit, as described under recital 23, over the level of total sales of the company during the IP (annualised in this case).
(25) On this basis, it was found that Indo Pet received a benefit of 2,6 %.
Exemption of import duties on raw and essential materials
(26) Section 36(1) of the IPA provides the legal basis for exemption of import duties on the raw and essential materials imported for use specifically in producing, mixing, or assembling products or commodities for export.
(27) In the present case, it was established that the import duty exemption did not result in an excess remission of import duties for the exporter concerned. Therefore, there is no subsidy according to Article 2 of the basic Regulation and it is not necessary to further evaluate this scheme since no benefit was conferred on the exporting producer.
E. AMOUNTS OF COUNTERVAILABLE SUBSIDIES
(28) Taking account of the definitive findings relating to the various schemes as set out above, the amount of countervailable subsidy for the investigating exporting producer is as follows:
>TABLE>
F. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(29) In the light of the foregoing, it is considered that a definitive countervailing duty should be imposed at the level of the subsidy margin found. In accordance with Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation, the countervailing duty should however not be higher than the countrywide injury margin established for Thailand by Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 during the original anti-dumping investigation.
(30) It was considered appropriate during the original investigation to impose duties in the form of a specific amount per tonne, since PET prices can fluctuate in line with fluctuations in crude oil prices, thus significantly affecting the level of the duty. The same methodology should be applied in the current investigation. This specific amount should result from the application of the countervailing duty rate to the cif export prices.
(31) This leads to a countervailing duty rate for the exporting producer concerned of EUR 23,9 per tonne.
G. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURES
(32) The company concerned and all other interested parties were informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to impose the amended definitive countervailing duty on the imports of the company concerned.
(33) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 shall expire pursuant to Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation.
(34) Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The table in Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 shall be amended by adding the following:

Commission Decision
of 23 December 2003
setting up an executive agency, the "Intelligent Energy Executive Agency", to manage Community action in the field of energy in application of Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003
(2004/20/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the framework of the sustainable development strategy, the European Union has taken measures aimed at promoting and developing renewable energy and energy efficiency in order to contribute in a balanced way to achieving the following general objectives: security of energy supply, competitiveness and environmental protection.
(2) These measures include Decision No 1230/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 adopting a multiannual programme for action in the field of energy: "Intelligent Energy - Europe" (2003-2006)(2), the areas of action of which are the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency, including in the transport sector, and their promotion in developing countries.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 empowers the Commission to set up executive agencies in accordance with the general statute laid down by that Regulation and to entrust them with certain management tasks relating to one or more Community programmes.
(4) The purpose of empowering the Commission to set up executive agencies is to allow it to focus on core activities and functions which cannot be outsourced, without relinquishing control over, or ultimate responsibility for, activities managed by those executive agencies.
(5) Management of the Intelligent Energy - Europe programme involves implementation of technical projects which do not entail political decision-making and requires a high level of technical and financial expertise throughout the project cycle.
(6) The delegation to an executive agency of tasks related to programme implementation is possible with a clear separation between programming, establishing priorities and evaluating the programme, which would be carried out by the Commission, and project implementation, which would be entrusted to the executive agency.
(7) A cost-benefit analysis carried out for that purpose has showed that certain management tasks, such as budget implementation, technical and financial monitoring of projects and the dissemination and use of results could be carried out by an executive agency more efficiently whilst ensuring the implementation by the Commission of the Intelligent Energy - Europe programme in accordance with the Decision adopting the programme, as well as the programme's work programme and the guidelines adopted by the Commission with the assistance of the Management Committee provided for in Article 8 of the Decision.
(8) The use of an executive agency would mean that the new programme, which is significantly larger than its predecessor, could be managed more efficiently.
(9) The performance of the identified tasks by an executive agency would allow the Commission to focus on strategic and regulatory questions, whilst increasing Community aid to multinational actions in the Member States. This is the best way to achieve the energy objectives set in the various legislative texts and other measures in the areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency, including in the transport sector.
(10) The implementation of the Commission's priorities and, in particular, the sustainable development strategy may result in measures being adopted as part of the Community policy in the areas cited entailing Commission action which could be implemented by the agency. Provision should be made for the possibility of assigning additional management and implementation tasks to the agency.
(11) The measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee of the Executive Agencies,
Establishment of the Agency
1. An executive agency (hereinafter referred to as "the Agency") for the management of Community action in the field of energy, the statute of which is laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003, is hereby established.

3. The Commission decision delegating authority to the Agency shall set out in detail all the tasks entrusted to it and shall be adapted in the light of any additional tasks which may be entrusted to the Agency. The Commission decision will be transmitted, for information, to the committee established by Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 58/2003.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2014/37/EU
of 27 February 2014
amending Council Directive 91/671/EEC relating to the compulsory use of safety belts and child restraint systems in vehicles
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/671/EEC relating to the compulsory use of safety belts and child restraint systems in vehicles (1), and in particular Article 7a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 24 March 1998, the European Community acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’), in accordance with Council Decision 97/836/EC (2).
(2) In accordance with paragraph 1 of Annex II to Decision 97/836/EC, the technical requirements of UNECE Regulations under the Revised 1958 Agreement become alternatives to the technical annexes to the relevant separate Union Directives where the latter possess the same scope and where for the UNECE Regulations separate Union Directives exist. However, the additional provisions of Directives, such as those concerning fitting requirements or the approval procedure, remain in force.
(3) A new UNECE Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of Enhanced Child Restraint Systems used on board of motor vehicles (hereinafter referred to as ‘Regulation 129’) was established and adopted under the auspices of the UNECE.
(4) Regulation 129 entered into force on 9 July 2013 as an annex to the Revised 1958 Agreement.
(5) The standardised requirements of Regulation 129 constitute alternative enhanced requirements in relation to those established under Regulation 44 on uniform provisions concerning the approval of restraining devices for child occupants of power-driven vehicles (‘Child restraint systems’) (3) and reflect technical progress in several aspects of child restraint systems such as tests for side impacts, the rear facing position of children up to 15 months, compatibility with different vehicles, test dummies and test benches and adaptability to various child sizes;
(6) As Directive 91/671/EEC lays down requirements for the approval and compulsory use of child restraint systems in motor vehicles within the Union, it should therefore be amended in order to include the use of child restraint systems approved according to the technical requirements of Regulation 129.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 7b of Directive 91/671/ECC,
Article 2 of Directive 91/671/EEC is amended as follows:
(1) point 1(a)(i) shall be replaced by the following:
‘(i) for M1, N1, N2 and N3 vehicles, Member States shall require that all occupants of vehicles in use shall use the safety systems provided.
— classification provided for in Article 1(3), for child restraint systems approved in accordance with point (c)(i) of this paragraph;
— the size range and maximum occupant mass for which the child restraint system is intended, as indicated by the manufacturer, for child restraint systems approved in accordance with point (c)(ii) of this paragraph.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1261/2014
of 25 November 2014
establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1),
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (2), and in particular Article 136(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XVI, Part A thereto.
(2) The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

Council Regulation (EEC) No 1867/88 of 29 June 1988 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for rum, arrack and tafia originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) (1988 to 1989)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1867/88
of 29 June 1988
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for rum, arrack and tafia originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) (1988 to 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 Protocol 5 annexed to the Third ACP-EEC Convention, signed at LomĂŠ on 8 December 1984 (1), provides that products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) which fall within CN codes 2208 40 10, 2208 40 90, 2208 90 11 and 2208 90 19 shall, until the entry into force of a common organization of the market in spirits, be allowed into the Community free of customs duties under conditions such as to permit the development of traditional trade flows between the ACP States and the Community and between the Member States; wheres the Community shall fix each year the quantities which may be imported free of customs duties on the basis of the largest quantities imported annually from the ACP States into the Community in the past three years for which statistics are available, increased by an annual growth rate of 37 % on the market of the United Kingdom and 27 % on the other markets of the Community; whereas, however, in accordance with Article 3 (1) of the Protocol to the Third ACP-EEC Convention consequent on the Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the European Communities (2), implemented in advance by Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 (3), the minimum quantity in Article 2 (a), second subparagraph, of Protocol 5 on rum has been increased to 172 000 hectolitres;
Whereas, pursuant to the said Protocol, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall become contracting parties to the said ACP-EEC Convention; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 provides for special arrangements for the quota duties to be applied by those two Member States; whereas by reason of the particularities peculiar to the market in rum the quota period ranges from 1 July to 30 June;
Whereas, having regard to the levels reached by imports of the products concerned into the Community and the Member States during the past three years for which statistics are available, the annual quota volume would amount to 159 444 hectolitres of pure alcohol; whereas this volume being less than the threshold established by Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87, the quota volume for the period from 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989 must be fixed at 172 000 hectolitres of pure alcohol;
Whereas, during the past three years for which statistics are available, Member States' imports have been as follows:
(in hectolitres of pure alcohol)
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Member State // 1985 // 1986 // 1987 // // // // // Benelux // 6 263 // 6 407 // 6 264 // Denmark // 2 271 // 2 020 // 1 884 // Germany // 40 922 // 36 183 // 33 570 // Greece // 57 // 50 // 50 // Spain // n.c. // 90 // 244 // France // 2 534 // 1 637 // 1 929 // Ireland // 2 224 // 2 151 // 2 060 // Italy // 426 // 437 // 800 // Portugal // 2 // - // 7 // United Kingdom // 65 675 // 69 757 // 72 040 // // // //
Whereas, in view of these factors, of market forecasts for the products in question and of the estimates submitted by certain Member States, quota shares may be fixed approximately at the following percentages:
Benelux 5,29
Denmark 1,73
Germany 30,92
Greece 0,04
Spain 0,09
France 1,71
Ireland 1,80
Italy 0,46
Portugal 0,00
United Kingdom 57,96
Whereas an arrangement for using the Community tariff quota, based on an allocation between the United Kingdom on the one hand and the other Member States on the other, would seem likely to reconcile the application of the growth rates provided for in Protocol 5 with the uninterrupted application of the duty-free entry arrangements in respect of the said quota to all imports of the products concerned into the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas in order to reflect as closely as possible actual market trends for the products concerned, allocation of the Community tariff quota among Member States should be made in accordance with the requirements of the Member States; whereas, in this case, the tariff quota should be allocated among the Member States on the basis of the largest quantities imported annually into each Member State during the past two years and taking into account the abovementioned growth rates;
Whereas measures should be laid down to ensure that Protocol 5 is implemented under conditions such as to permit the development of traditional trade flows between the ACP States and the Community, on the one hand, and between the Member States on the other;
Whereas, owing to the special character of the products in question and their sensitivity on Community markets, exceptional provision should be made for a method of use based on a single division among Member States;
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 measure concerning the administration of the share allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989, the following products originating in the ACP States shall be imported duty free into the Community within the limits of the relevant Community tariff quota mentioned:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Quota volume (in hl of pure alcohol) // Quota duty // // // // // // // // // // // 09.1605 // 2208 40 10 2208 40 90 2208 90 11 2208 90 19 // Rum, arrack and tafia // 172 000 // Free // // // // //
2. Within the limit of their shares, as indicated in Article 2, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the Act of Accession and Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments. A first instalment of 99 691 hectolitres of pure alcohol shall be for United Kingdom consumption. A second instalment of 72 309 hectolitres of pure alcohol shall be allocated among the other Member States.
2. The shares of each of the Member States to which the second instalment is allocated shall consist of the following quantities:
1.2 // // (hectolitres of pure alcohol) // Benelux // 9 099 // Denmark // 2 976 // Germany // 53 034 // Greece // 50 // Spain // 290 // France // 2 938 // Ireland // 3 096 // Italy // 791 // Portugal // 35
1. Member States shall administer the shares allocated to them in accordance with their own arrangements.
2. The extent to which the Member States have taken up their shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports of the products in question, originating in the ACP States, entered for customs clearance under declarations for free circulation.
1. Member States shall inform the Commission each month of imports actually charged against the tariff quota.
2. The United Kingdom shall take the steps necessary to ensure that the quantities imported from the ACP States under the conditions laid down in Articles 1 and 2 are restricted to those meeting its domestic consumption requirements.
3. The Commission shall regularly inform the Member States of the extent to which the tariff quota has been taken up. 4. Where necessary, consultations may be held at the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission.
The Commission shall take all necessary measures, in close cooperation with the Member States, to ensure the implementation of this Regulation.
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1316/87 of 11 May 1987 on the safeguard measures provided for in the Third ACP-EEC Convention (1) shall apply to the products covered by this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on enhancing ship and port facility security (1), and in particular Article 10(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 adopted appropriate measures in the field of maritime transport policy establishing joint standards for the interpretation, implementation and monitoring within the Community of the amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS Convention) and of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS code) adopted by the Diplomatic Conference of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on 12 December 2002.
(2) The requirements forming Part A of the ISPS Code, which had become mandatory under Chapter XI-2 of the Annex to the SOLAS convention, were attached as Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 725/2004.
(3) On 20 May 2005, the IMO adopted Resolution MSC 196(80) amending the ISPS Code with regard to the mandatory requirements regarding the provisions of Chapter XI-2 of the Annex to the SOLAS Convention, forming Part A of that Code. Therefore, the up-to-date version of the applicable international instruments referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 shall include the amendments to the ISPS Code.
(4) The amendments to the ISPS Code are adopted by the International Maritime Organization as a measure to enhance maritime safety, security and environmental protection, and to facilitate the prevention of maritime fraud. The procedure for checking conformity established by Article 10(5) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 should not apply in respect of ships operating domestic services and the port facilities serving them as the amendments to the ISPS Code made by Resolution MSC 196(80) constitute a technical update of the provisions of the ISPS Code.
(5) This procedure for checking conformity should not apply either in respect of international shipping since, on the basis of evaluation made by the Commission, there is no risk that such an amendment will lower the standard of maritime security or be incompatible with Community legislation. In addition, no Member State has requested the Commission to launch this procedure, nor expressed any dissent to the incorporation of the amendments to the provisions of Part A of the ISPS Code into the relevant Community legal instruments as far as international maritime traffic is concerned.
(6) The Member States concerned voted by unanimity/qualified majority (2) in favour of integration of the technical update of the provisions of the ISPS Code in respect of ships within the meaning of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 and their companies into Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 725/2004.
(7) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Decision.
In respect of international shipping under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004, Member States shall apply in full, by 1 January 2009, the amendments to the provisions of Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to Part A of the Annex to the ISPS Code as adopted on 20 May 2005 by IMO Resolution MSC 196(80).
In respect of domestic shipping as defined in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004, Member States shall apply in full, by 1 January 2009, the amendments to the provisions of Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to Part A of the ISPS Code as adopted on 20 May 2005 by IMO Resolution MSC 196(80).
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(2) In order to make it easier to draw up and manage the budget for Community food aid actions and to enable the Member States to know the extent of Community participation in the financing of national food aid actions, the level of the refunds granted for these actions should be determined.
(3) The general and implementing rules provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 on export refunds are applicable mutatis mutandis to the abovementioned operations.
(4) The specific criteria to be used for calculating the export refund on rice are set out in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 909/2001
of 8 May 2001
initiating an investigation concerning the alleged circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 368/98 on imports of glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of glyphosate consigned from Malaysia or Taiwan, and making such imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) thereof,
After having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST
(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 ("the basic Regulation") to investigate the alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China.
(2) The request has been lodged on 26 March 2001 by the European Glyphosate Association (EGA) on behalf of a major proportion of Community producers of glyphosate.
B. PRODUCT
(3) The product concerned by the allegation of circumvention is glyphosate, which can be produced in different grades or forms of concentration of which the main ones are the following: formulated (generally with 36 % glyphosate content), salt (with 62 %), cake (with 84 %) and acid (95 %), currently classifiable within CN codes ex 2931 00 95 (TARIC code 2931 00 95 80) and ex 3808 30 27 (TARIC code 3808 30 27 10). These codes are given for information only.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(4) The measures currently in force and allegedly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 368/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1086/2000(4). This latter Regulation increased the rate of duty applicable to 48 % pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation.
D. GROUNDS
(5) The request contains sufficient evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of either transhipment via Malaysia or Taiwan or formulation in Malaysia or Taiwan of glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China for re-export to the Community, for which there appears to be insufficient due cause or economic justification.
(6) The evidence submitted is as follows:
(a) the request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Taiwan to the Community has taken place following imposition of measures. Imports from Malaysia and Taiwan have increased significantly while imports from the People's Republic of China have decreased substantially.
This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from a transhipment of glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China via Malaysia or Taiwan and also from the formulation in Malaysia or Taiwan of glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China. The formulation is a relatively simple operation which consists of diluting glyphosate salt with water and blending it with surfactant. There seems to be insufficient due cause or economic justification for these practices other than the existence of the anti-dumping duty on glyphosate originating in the People's Republic of China;
(b) furthermore, the request contains sufficient evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping duties on glyphosate are being undermined both in terms of quantities and price. Significant volumes of imports of glyphosate from Malaysia and Taiwan appear to have replaced imports from the People's Republic of China. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increase in imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the original investigation;
(c) finally, the request contains sufficient evidence which shows that dumping is taking place in relation to the normal value previously established, for imports consigned from Malaysia or Taiwan.
E. PROCEDURE
(7) In the 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 glyphosate consigned from Malaysia or Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or Taiwan or not, subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
(i) Questionnaires
(8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to producers and exporters in Malaysia and Taiwan named in the request, to the importers in the Community and to the exporters in the People's Republic of China known to the Commission, to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Taiwan. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.
(9) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and, if necessary, 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.
(10) The authorities of the People's Republic of China as well as of Malaysia and Taiwan will be notified of the initiation of the investigation and provided with a copy of the request.
(ii) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(11) 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.
(iii) Certificates of non-circumvention
(12) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, certificates exempting the imports of the product concerned from registration or measures may be issued by the customs authorities to importers if the importation does not constitute circumvention.
(13) Since the issue of this certificate requires the prior authorisation of the Community institutions, requests for such authorisations should be addressed to the Commission as early as possible in the course of the investigation so that they may be considered on the basis of a thorough appraisal of their merits.
F. REGISTRATION
(14) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this investigation on glyphosate consigned from Malaysia or Taiwan.
G. TIME LIMITS
(15) 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,
- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(16) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available. 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,
An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, concerning imports into the Community of glyphosate falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 95 (TARIC code 2931 00 95 80) and ex 3808 30 27 (TARIC code 3808 30 27 10), consigned from Malaysia or Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or Taiwan or not.
1. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
2. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
3. Imports shall not be subject to registration where they are accompanied by a Customs certificate issued in accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96.
1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
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 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities unless otherwise specified.
3. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40 day time limit.
4. Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for authorisation of certificates of non-circumvention must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified), must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax and/or telephone numbers and should be sent to the following address: European Commission Trade Directorate-General

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2503/88 of 25 July 1988 on customs warehouses (1), and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2561/90 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 965/93 (3), lays down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 2503/88;
Whereas Article 22 (2) (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2101/92 (5), provides for the presentation of an export licence or advance fixing certificate when lodging certain customs declarations;
Whereas this provision must be understood as meaning that it is unnecessary to present the abovementioned licence or certificate when declaring prefinanced goods for export, if that licence or certificate has already been presented when the goods were placed under the customs warehousing arrangements in accordance with Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83 (7);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2561/90 establishes detailed procedures for the placing of prefinanced goods under the customs warehousing arrangements and their subsequent export; whereas the second subparagraph of Article 57 (4) of that Regulation provides that an export licence or advance fixing certificate shall be presented when placing goods under the customs warehousing arrangements and the second subparagraph of Article 61 (3) establishes an identical obligation on export; whereas Article 61 should therefore be aligned on the interpretation given in Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee on Customs Warehouses and Free Zones,
The following clause is hereby deleted from the second subparagraph of Article 61 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2561/90:
', including the export licence or advance fixing certificate referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2245/85 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fish stocks in the Antarctic
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, the conservation measures necessary to achieve the aims set out in Article 1 of that Regulation are to be formulated in the light of the available scientific advice;
Whereas the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, hereinafter called 'the Convention', was approved by Council Decision 81/691/EEC (2); whereas it entered into force for the Community on 21 May 1982;
Whereas the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), established by the Convention, adopted, on the recommendation of its Scientific Committee, conservation measures for the waters off South Georgia, providing for a total allowable catch (TAC) of 35 000 tonnes of Champsocephalus gunnari for the 1987/88 fishing season, for a catch reporting system for that species and for a ban on directed fishing for that same species during the period running from 1 April to 1 October 1988;
Whereas these conservation measures were notified to the members of the CCAMLR on 11 November 1987; whereas the members raised no objections to the measures, which became binding on 9 May 1988 pursuant to Article IX (6) of the Convention;
Whereas the members of the CCAMLR stated that they wished to apply these conservation measures on a provisional basis, without waiting until they became binding, in view of the fact that the TAC for Champsocephalus gunnari was fixed for the 1987/88 fishing season, which began on 1 July 1987;
Whereas, therefore, the necessary provisions should now be laid down to ensure that the conservation measures adopted by the CCAMLR are applied to Community fishermen;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it is for the Council to establish the TAC per stock or group of stocks, the share available to the Community, and the specific conditions under which catches have to be taken;
Whereas the fishing activities referred to in this Regulation are subject to the control measures provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (3); whereas these control measures should therefore be adjusted to take account of the requirements of the catch reporting system adopted by the CCAMLR;
Whereas the TAC adopted by the CCAMLR for Champsocephalus gunnari covers the entire 1987/88 fishing season; whereas the Member States should therefore also communicate to the Commission the catches taken by their vessels between 1 July 1987 and the date on which this Regulation enters into force;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2245/85 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2243/87 (5), should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EEC) No 2245/85 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
'Article 2
Prohibition on fishing (*)
1. All fishing shall be prohibited within 12 nautical miles of the coasts of South Georgia.
2. Directed fishing for Notothenia rossii shall be prohibited:
- in the Peninsular area (FAO Antarctic sub-area 48.1),
- off the South Orkneys (FAO Antarctic sub-area 48.2),
- off South Georgia (FAO Antarctic sub-area 48.3).

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 (1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 2 December 2013 on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (3), and in particular point 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 (4), or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The EGF shall not exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013.
(3) Spain submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies (5) in 661 enterprises operating in the NACE Rev. 2 Division 56 (Food and beverage service activities) (6) in the NUTS 2 level region of Aragón (ES24), on 21 February 2014 and supplemented it by additional information as provided by Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. This application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.
(4) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of an amount of EUR 960 000 for the application submitted by Spain,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 960 000 in commitment and payment appropriations.
This decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

setting criteria for mobilization on the Community market for vegetable oils for supply as food aid
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2260/84 (2), and in particular Article 36a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 36a (3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC states that the Council is to adopt criteria for mobilizing on the Community market oil and other vegetable oils for supply as food aid;
Whereas the mobilization of olive oil in intervention storage will help improve market balance; whereas priority should therefore be given to use of this oil provided that mobilization cost can be kept within reasonable limits;
Whereas where it is not suitable to use intervention stocks of olive oil and where, with regard to the other oils, there are no intervention stocks mobilization should be by purchase on the Community market as a whole;
Whereas to effect mobilization on the best terms and to ensure equality of treatment of all operators established in the Community, tendering is the most appropriate procedure for the purchase of oil and its supply at the stage required; whereas, however, provision should be made for other procedures to be used when only small quantities are to be mobilized,
Mobilization on the Community market of vegetable oils for supply as food aid shall be carried out in accordance with the following provisions.
1. If an intervention agency holds stocks of olive oil of the quality required, these shall be used provided that transport and packaging can be carried out in a satisfactory way and at a reasonable cost.
2. If the requirements of paragraph 1 cannot be met, the olive oil shall be purchased on the Community market as a whole.
3. Other vegetable oils shall be purchased on the Community market as a whole.
1. If olive oil held by intervention agencies is to be used, an invitation to tender shall be opened for loading, unloading, packaging and transport to a place to be specified.
2. Purchasing under Article 2 (2) and (3) shall be carried out by means of an invitation to tender for supply of the product at a stage to be specified.
3. The terms of invitations to tender shall guarantee equality of access and treatment to all interested parties whatever the location of their establishment in the Community.
4. However, if the quantities to be mobilized are relatively small, it may be decided to use a direct-agreement procedure.
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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 20 and the second paragraph of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas, because of the outbreak of classical swine fever in certain production regions in Belgium, which are located in the border area to the Netherlands, surveillance zones have been established by the Dutch authorities pursuant to Article 9 of Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3), as last amended by Directive 93/384/EEC (4); whereas, consequently, in these zones the trade in live pigs, fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products which have not been subjected to heat treatment is temporarily prohibited;
Whereas restrictions on the free movement of goods resulting from the application of veterinary measures are likely to bring about a serious disturbance of the market for pigmeat in the Netherlands; whereas exceptional market support measures, to apply for no longer than is strictly necessary, must accordingly be adopted with respect solely to live animals from the affected areas;
Whereas, with the aim of preventing a further spread of the disease, the pigs produced in the protection zones should be separated from normal trade in products intended for human consumption and processed into products intended for uses other than human consumption;
Whereas a buying-in price should be fixed at which piglets and live pigs in the surveillance zones are to be taken over by the intervention agency; whereas with the aim of preventing misuse, the buying-in of piglets which are fattened on closed-circuit holdings should be excluded;
Whereas provision should be made for the Dutch authorities to adopt all necessary control and surveillance measures and to inform the Commission accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
1. From 6 June 1994 the Dutch intervention agency shall buy live pigs weighing not less than 110 kg on average per batch and piglets weighing not less than 25 kg on average per batch.
2. The purchase of the first 2 800 live pigs and the first 4 200 piglets shall be financed from the Community budget.
3. The Netherlands are hereby authorized to purchase, in addition, at its own expense and on the terms laid down in this Regulation, a further 1 200 live pigs and 1 800 piglets.
1. Only live pigs and piglets raised in the zones listed in the Annex to this Regulation can be bought in, provided that the veterinary provisions laid down by the Dutch authorities still apply in the areas on the day the animals are bought in.
2. Only piglets can be bought in which are not fattened in a closed-circuit holding or which cannot be used by a closed circuit holding for its own purposes.
On the day they are bought in, the animals shall be weighed and killed in such a way as to prevent the disease from spreading.
They shall be transported without delay to a rendering plant and processed into products falling with CN codes 1501 00 11, 1506 00 00 and 2301 10 00.
These operations shall be carried out under permanent supervision of the competent Dutch authorities.
1. The farm-gate buying-in price of live pigs weighing not less than 110 kilograms on average per batch shall be ECU 115 per 100 kilograms slaughtered weight.
Where the average weight per batch is less than 110 kilograms but more than 106 kilograms, the buying-in price shall be ECU 98/100 kg.
In both cases, a coefficient of 0,83 is applied on the buying-in price.
2. The farm-gate buying-in price for piglets shall be ECU 36 per head. Where the average weight per batch is less than 25 kilograms but more than 24 kilograms, the buying-in price shall be ECU 31 per head.
The competent Dutch authorities shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation and in particular with Article 2 hereof. They shall inform the Commission accordingly as soon as possible.
The competent Dutch authorities shall send the Commission each Wednesday the following information concerning the previous week:
- the number and total weight of the pigs bought in,

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1644/96(3) lays down detailed rules for the grant of aid for certain grain legumes. Article 1(a) thereof provides that eligible areas must have been completely sown and harvested and maintained in normal growing conditions.
(2) The exceptional weather conditions which have affected certain regions of Spain, with a severe drought between autumn 1999 and spring 2000, have not allowed crops to develop normally and produce a significant quantity of seeds, leading to anticipated yields being much lower than normal, making the harvest operation commercially unprofitable. If that operation is not carried out, the producers concerned lose their entitlement to aid per hectare as a result of failure to meet the requirement to harvest.
(3) The situation described above justifies a derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 as regards the requirement to harvest.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the 2000/01 marketing year and notwithstanding Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1644/96, in the regions of Spain in the Autonomous Communities of:
- Aragon,
- Castilla-La Mancha,
- Murcia,
- Valencia,
- Islas Baleares
areas sown with grain legumes not harvested shall remain eligible for the aid provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 provided that:
- the areas in question remain free from any other crop up to the normal harvest period for grain legumes;
- all the other conditions referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1644/96 are met.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 June 2000.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1760/92 of 30 June 1992 derogating, for the period during which applications for 1992/93 may be lodged, from Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 introducing a system of premiums for maintaining suckler cows
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 (2) fixes the premium for maintaining suckler cows at ECU 40 per cow;
Whereas the effects on the beef and veal sector of the fall in the prices at which meat breeds of cattle are marketed have been lasting; whereas this economic fact inevitably affects the income level of stockfarmers using suckler cows;
Whereas the result is serious economic consequences for those producers and, in particular, for the viability of their holdings; whereas, in view of the advantages of rearing calves using suckler cows for production of both beef and veal and milk products, in order to solve the problems encountered, the premium for maintaining suckler cows and the additional national premium should be increased; whereas that increase should be reflected in the contribution from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) to the additional premium for certain Member States;
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 3605/91 (3) the premium for maintaining suckler cows has been raised from ECU 40 to 50 per suckler cow for applications for the grant of the premium lodged in 1991/92;
Whereas, taking into account the situation on the beef and veal market the premium should be kept at ECU 50 for applications lodged in 1992/93,
By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80, for applications for the suckler cow premium lodged in 1992/93:
1. the premium is hereby fixed at ECU 50 per suckler cow;
2. the additional national premium provided for in the first subparagraph of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 shall be ECU 35 per eligible cow. In cases where the additional premium is granted by a Member State referred to in the second subparagraph of the said Article 3 (2), the first ECU 28 per cow shall be financed by the EAGGF, Guarantee Section.
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.

Commission Directive 2002/48/EC
of 30 May 2002
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include iprovalicarb, prosulfuron and sulfosulfuron as active substances
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/37/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, Ireland received on 30 March 1998 an application from Bayer AG for the inclusion of the active substance iprovalicarb in Annex I to the Directive. By Commission Decision 98/512/EC(3) it was confirmed that the dossier was "complete" in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements laid down in Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) France received a similar application on 14 May 1995 from Novartis, now Syngenta, concerning prosulfuron. This application was declared complete by Commission Decision 97/137/EC(4).
(3) Ireland received a similar application on 24 April 1997 from Monsanto concerning sulfosulfuron. This application was declared complete by Commission Decision 97/865/EC(5).
(4) For these three active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The nominated rapporteur Member States submitted draft assessment reports concerning the substances to the Commission on 4 November 1999 (iprovalicarb), 18 January 1999 (prosulfuron), and 2 April 1998 (sulfosulfuron), respectively.
(5) The draft assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The reviews were finalised on 26 February 2002 in the format of the Commission review reports for iprovalicarb, prosulfuron and sulfosulfuron.
(6) The dossier and the information from each of the reviews were submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants. As regards iprovalicarb, the Committee was asked to comment on the acceptability of the risk of metabolite PMPA on earthworms and on the relevance to humans of tumours which were observed in rats after lifetime exposure to high doses. In two opinions(6)(7), the Committee identified the need for further data on earthworms, which were subsequently provided and assessed, and concluded that concerning the effects observed in rats sufficient safety margins exist to ensure protection of consumers and operators. The observations of the Scientific Committee were taken into consideration in formulating this Directive and the relevant review report.
(7) With respect to prosulfuron, the Committee was asked to comment on the acceptability of the risk of two breakdown products of the active substance to sediment dwelling organisms and on possible hormonal disruption effects observed in test animals. In its opinion(8) the Committee concluded that certain uterine and mammary changes, which were observed in rats after lifetime exposure are not considered relevant for human risk assessment of prosulfuron in the context of its intended uses. The Committee further commented that risks of the two breakdown products to sediment-dwelling species were not yet adequately assessed and noted that other persistent metabolites are formed in significant quantities in sediment-water tests which also did not appear to have been assessed. The pending information and assessments were subsequently provided and the observations of the Scientific Committee were taken into consideration in formulating this Directive and the relevant review report.
(8) With respect to sulfosulfuron the Committee was asked for its opinion on the occurrence of bladder tumours in the 18 months mouse study; to consider whether it would be appropriate to establish an acute reference dose for sulfosulfuron; to confirm that a sub-lethal study for earthworms is unnecessary, notwithstanding the persistence of the soil metabolites. In its opinion(9) the Committee considered that the lesions observed in mice do not predict a carcinogenic hazard to humans and saw no need to establish an acute reference dose. It was further concluded that no significant long term risks to earthworms are likely to arise. The Committee further highlighted the need to assess the potential environmental impact of three unidentified metabolites. This information was subsequently provided and the requested assessments were made.
(9) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, can be granted in accordance with the provisions of the said Directive.
(10) The Commission review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review reports, except for confidential information, should be kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.
(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant protection products containing iprovalicarb, prosulfuron or sulfosulfuron and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, by the end of this period at the latest, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(12) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

COUNCIL DECISION of 1 May 1998 abrogating the Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit for Spain (98/312/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104c(12) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas the second stage for achieving economic and monetary union started on 1 January 1994; whereas Article 109e(4) of the Treaty lays down that, in the second stage, Member States shall endeavour to avoid excessive government deficits;
Whereas there is an excessive deficit procedure which provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit and, after the excessive deficit has been corrected, for the abrogation of that decision; whereas, during the second stage, the excessive deficit procedure is determined by Article 104c of the Treaty, excluding paragraphs 1, 9 and 11; whereas the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure; whereas Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (1) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the said Protocol;
Whereas, following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104c(6) of the Treaty, the Council decided on 26 September 1994 that an excessive deficit existed in Spain; whereas, in accordance with Article 104c(7), the Council made recommendations to Spain with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end (2);
Whereas a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive deficit is to be abrogated, in accordance with the provisions of Article 104c(12) of the Treaty, to the extent that the excessive deficit in the Member State concerned has, in the view of the Council, been corrected;
Whereas, when abrogating the Decision, the Council is to act on a recommendation from the Commission; whereas, based on the data provided by the Commission after reporting by Spain before 1 March 1998 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 3605/93, the following conclusions are warranted:
The government deficit in Spain has been declining significantly since 1995 and in 1997 reached 2,6 % of GDP, which is below the Treaty reference value. A further reduction to 2,2 % of GDP is forecast for 1998. According to the 1997 convergence programme for Spain, the government deficit is projected to decline further to 1,6 % of GDP in 2000.
The government debt ratio peaked at 70,1 % of GDP in 1996 and then declined to 68,8 % in 1997. A further decline is expected for 1998 and projected to continue in the following years in the Spanish convergence programme.
The deficit was below the Treaty reference value in 1997 and is expected to remain so in 1998 and to decline further in the medium term; the debt ratio is currently diminishing and is expected to continue declining in coming years,
From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Spain has been corrected.
The Council Decision of 26 September 1994 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Spain is hereby abrogated.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/914/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and Article 21(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2003/858/EC of 21 November 2003 laying down the animal health conditions and certification requirements for imports of live fish, their eggs and gametes intended for farming, and live fish of aquaculture origin and products thereof intended for human consumption (2), sets out the specific animal health conditions for imports of live fish and certain products of aquaculture origin into the Community from third countries.
(2) The definition of ‘farming’ in Decision 2003/858/EC has led to different interpretations concerning the scope of the Decision. For the sake of clarity, this definition should therefore be made more precise.
(3) The requirements laid down in Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products (3), apply also to live fish imported for the purpose of human consumption. For the sake of clarity, Article 4 of Decision 2003/858/EC should be amended accordingly.
(4) The import requirements for fish products to be further processed in Decision 2003/858/EC should apply only to species susceptible to diseases referred to in List II of Annex A to Directive 91/67/EEC or diseases that are considered exotic to the Community. Experience has shown that these requirements are not clearly described by the wording of Article 5(2), and therefore that article should be amended for the sake of clarification.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 282/2004 of 18 February 2004 introducing a document for the declaration of, and veterinary checks on, animals from third countries entering the Community (4), has replaced Decision 92/527/EEC (5). Where live fish are destined for farming or restocking purposes, the control procedure in Article 8 of Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (6), should be used and the common veterinary entry document in Regulation (EC) No 282/2004 completed accordingly by the official veterinarian.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 of 22 January 2004 laying down procedures for veterinary checks at Community border inspection posts on products imported from third countries (7) has replaced Decision 93/13/EEC (8). Where certain products of aquaculture origin are destined for further processing in the Community, the control procedure in Article 8 of Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (9) should be used and the common veterinary entry document in Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 completed accordingly by the official veterinarian.
(7) The certification procedures laid down in Article 7 of Decision 2003/858/EC should be amended accordingly, and its Annex VI deleted.
(8) It is necessary, for the sake of simplification and clarification, to harmonise statements on the model certificates laid down in the Annexes to Decision 2003/858/EC, with those on the model certificates laid down pursuant to Directive 91/493/EEC. Annexes II, III, IV and V to Decision 2003/858/EC should be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2003/858/EC is amended as follows.
1. Article 2(2)(g) is replaced by:
‘(g) “farming” means the keeping of aquatic animals on a farm.’

(c) the fish is sent directly to an approved import centre to be slaughtered and eviscerated.’
3. Article 5(2) is replaced by:
(a) the fish have been eviscerated before dispatch to the European Community; or
(b) the place of origin in the third country has a health status as regards EHN, ISA, VHS and IHN, equivalent to the place where they are to be processed.’
4. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
(a) the fish originate in third countries and establishments authorised under Article 11 of Directive 91/493/EEC, and comply with the public health certification requirements laid down under that Directive; and
(b) the consignment consists of fish products suitable for retail sale to restaurants or directly to the consumer without further processing; and labelled in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/493/EEC; and
(c) the consignment complies with the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate drawn up in conformity with the model in Annex V, taking into account the explanatory notes in Annex III.’
5. Article 7 is replaced by the following:
6. Article 8 is replaced by the following:
7. Annex II is replaced by Annex I to this Decision.
8. Annex III is replaced by Annex II to this Decision.
