COMMISSION DECISION
of 31 March 2006
concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Switzerland
(notified under document number C(2006) 1107)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/265/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to 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 (1), and in particular Article 18(1), (3) and (6) thereof,
Having regard to 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 (2), and in particular Article 22(1), (5) and (6) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of 26 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (3), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(2) Switzerland has notified to the Commission the isolation of an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in a wild species. The clinical picture allows the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza pending the determination of the neuraminidase (N) type and of the pathogenicity index.
(3) In view of the animal health risk of disease introduction into the Community, it is therefore appropriate as an immediate measure to suspend imports of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game birds, live birds other than poultry and hatching eggs of these species from Switzerland.
(4) Furthermore the importation into the Community from Switzerland should be suspended for fresh meat of wild feathered game and importation of minced meat, meat preparations, mechanically separated meat and meat products consisting of or containing meat of those species.
(5) Certain products derived from poultry slaughtered before 1 February 2006 should continue to be authorised, taking into account the incubation period of the disease.
(6) Commission Decision 2005/432/EC of 3 June 2005 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of meat products for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decisions 97/41/EC, 97/221/EC and 97/222/EC (4) lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products and establishes treatment regimes considered effective in inactivating the respective pathogens. In order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products, appropriate treatment must be applied depending on the health status of the country of origin and the species the product is obtained from. It appears therefore appropriate, that imports of wild feathered game meat products originating in Switzerland and treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the product should continue to be authorised.
(7) Account should be taken of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation in trade on agricultural products (the ‘Agreement’) (5).
(8) Following the notification of an isolation of an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in a wild species, consultations have been held between the competent Commission services and the Swiss authorities in accordance with Article 20(1) of Annex 11 of the Agreement. With a view to finding appropriate solutions in accordance with this provision, Switzerland has notified that they will apply the equivalent measures as those adopted in the Community in accordance with Commission Decision 2006/115/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds in the Community and repealing Decisions 2006/86/EC, 2006/90/EC, 2006/91/EC, 2006/94/EC, 2006/104/EC and 2006/105/EC (6) and Commission Decision 2006/135/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic influenza in poultry in the Community (7).
(9) Switzerland has notified their intention to immediately notify the Commission of any future changes to the ongoing animal health status of Switzerland, including specifically any further outbreaks of avian influenza that may occur and the areas concerned. The Commission should notifiy those areas immediately to the Member States.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Member States shall suspend imports or introduction into the Community of the following from the part of the territory of Switzerland referred to in the Annex:
— live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, live birds other than poultry as defined in Article 1, third indent, of Decision 2000/666/EC, including birds accompanying their owners (pet birds), and hatching eggs of these species,
— fresh meat of wild feathered game,
— minced meat, meat preparations, mechanically separated meat and meat products consisting of or containing meat of wild feathered game,
— raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of wild feathered game, and
— non-treated game trophies from any birds.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of the products covered by paragraph 1 second to fourth indent, which have been obtained from birds slaughtered before 1 February 2006.
3. In the veterinary certificates/commercial documents accompanying consignments of the products referred to in paragraph 2 the following words as appropriate to the species shall be included:
‘Fresh meat of wild feathered game/minced meat, meat preparations, mechanically separated meat or meat product consisting of, or containing meat of wild feathered game/raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of wild feathered game (8) obtained from birds slaughtered before 1 February 2006 and in accordance with Article 1(2) of Commission Decision 2006/265/EC.
4. By derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of meat products consisting of or containing meat of wild feathered game under the condition that the meat of these species has undergone at least one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in Part IV of Annex II to Commission Decision 2005/432/EC.
Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall apply until 31 May 2006.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42, 43 and 44 thereof;

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 22 January 1980 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (80/215/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (2) has been applicable since 1 July 1979;
Whereas the implementation of the above Directive will not have the desired effect so long as intra-Community trade is hindered by differences between the health requirements of Member States concerning meat products ; whereas, in particular with a view to eliminating these differences, common provisions should be laid down in this field;
Whereas, in order to avoid the spread of epizootic diseases by means of meat products it should be laid down that the meat from which some of the said meat products are manufactured should comply with the health provisions applicable to fresh meat;
Whereas care should be taken that meat products which do not comply with Community rules are not given the health mark provided for in those rules;
Whereas when meat products have been treated in such a way as to destroy all germs of diseases which may be passed on to animals, such treatment should be mentioned on the health certificate which accompanies the products concerned;
Whereas the Member States must have the right to refuse the entry into free circulation in their territory of meat products which have been found to contain germs of a contagious or infectious disease or which do not comply with Community health provisions;
Whereas the consignor should at his own request or at that of a representative be allowed to have the meat products returned to him unless there are health grounds for not doing so;
Whereas, in order to enable those concerned to appreciate the basis for any prohibition or restriction imposed, the reasons for such prohibition or restriction should be brought to the notice of the consignor or his representative and, in certain cases, the competent authorities of the consigning country;
Whereas the consignor should be afforded the opportunity of requesting the opinion of a veterinary expert in the event of a dispute between the consignor and the authorities of the country of destination as to whether a prohibition or restriction is justified;
Whereas the Member States must have the right to prohibit the introduction into their territory of certain meat products from a Member State where an epizootic disease has broken out ; whereas, depending on the nature and character of this epizootic disease, such a prohibition may either be limited to meat products coming from a part of the territory of the exporting country, or extended to the whole of that territory ; whereas, in the event of an outbreak of a contagious or infectious disease in the territory of a Member State appropriate measures must be taken rapidly to control it ; whereas the dangers inherent in such diseases and the requisite protective measures should be viewed in the same light throughout the Community;
Whereas, to facilitate the implementation of the provisions envisaged, a procedure should be laid down establishing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Veterinary Committee set up by the Council Decision of 15 October 1968 (3), (1)OJ No C 114, 11.11.1971, p. 40. (2)OJ No L 26, 31.1.1977, p. 85. (3)OJ No L 255, 28.10.1968, p. 23.
This Directive lays down animal health requirements for intra-Community trade in meat products.
For the purposes of this Directive, the definitions contained in Article 2 of Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (1), as amended by Directive 78/54/EEC (2), and in Article 2 of Directive 77/99/EEC shall apply where relevant.
Products which have been subjected to natural fermentation and maturation for a long period shall be regarded as having undergone complete treatment until the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal by the Commission, amends the limits given in Annex A, Chapter V (27) (b) to Directive 77/99/EEC.
Each Member State shall ensure that meat products intended for intra-Community trade are prepared from or with: - fresh meat as defined in Article 1 of Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 75/379/EEC (4), and fulfilling the animal health requirements of Articles 3 and 4 of Directive 72/461/EEC,
- fresh meat as defined in Article 2 (a) of Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (5), as last amended by Directive 77/98/EEC (6), and complying with the animal health requirements of Directive 72/462/EEC.
1. By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 3, and subject to the application of paragraph 2, meat products may be intended for intra-Community trade, which are prepared in whole or in part from or with fresh meat as defined in Article 1 of Directive 64/433/EEC which fulfils the requirements laid down by Article 5a of Directive 72/461/EEC, may enter intra-Community trade if they have also undergone one of the following forms of treatment: (a) heat treatment in a hermetically sealed container, with an Fc value of 3 7 00 or more;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 of 28 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09 marketing years for importing and refining of sugar products under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements (2), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,

2010/451/EU: Decision of the European Central Bank of 29 July 2010 on access to and use of certain TARGET2 data (ECB/2010/9)
|
12.8.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 211/45
DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 29 July 2010
on access to and use of certain TARGET2 data
(ECB/2010/9)
(2010/451/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular to the first and fourth indents of Article 127(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first and fourth indents of Article 3.1, and Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Guideline ECB/2007/2 of 26 April 2007 on a Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) (1) established TARGET2.
(2) TARGET2 functions on the basis of a single technical platform called the Single Shared Platform (SSP), operated by the Deutsche Bundesbank, the Banque de France and the Banca d’Italia (hereinafter the SSP-providing CBs). It is legally structured as a multiplicity of real-time gross settlement systems, each of which is a TARGET2 component operated by a Eurosystem central bank (CB). Guideline ECB/2007/2 harmonises the rules for the TARGET2 components to the greatest extent possible.
(3) The Eurosystem oversees TARGET2, with the ECB taking the lead.
(4) Article 38(1) of Annex II to Guideline ECB/2007/2 — the Harmonised Conditions for participation in TARGET2 (hereinafter the Harmonised Conditions) obliges each CB to keep confidential all sensitive or secret payment information belonging to participants holding TARGET2 accounts with that CB, unless the participant has given its written consent to disclosure or such disclosure is permitted or required under national law.
(5) Article 38(2) of the Harmonised Conditions nevertheless provides that participants agree that, provided such disclosure does not conflict with the applicable law, each CB may disclose payment information regarding the participant obtained in the course of the operation of the relevant TARGET2 component to: (i) other CBs or third parties that are involved in the operation of TARGET2, to the extent that this is necessary for the efficient functioning of TARGET2; or (ii) supervisory and oversight authorities of Member States and the Union, to the extent that this is necessary for the performance of their public tasks.
(6) Only when the use of aggregate TARGET2 payment data is not sufficient for the CBs to ensure the effective functioning of TARGET2, is it necessary for all CBs to have access to transaction-level data extracted from the SSP of the participants in all TARGET2 components, including indirect participants and addressable BIC holders. Access by all CBs to such transaction-level data also becomes necessary for the performance of the public tasks of the Eurosystem as overseer of TARGET2 when the use of aggregate TARGET2 payment data does not suffice.
(7) Such CB access to transaction-level data of all TARGET2 participants should be limited to what is necessary to enable the CBs, as operators and as overseers of TARGET2, to conduct quantitative analyses of transaction flows between TARGET2 participants or to make numerical simulations of the settlement process of TARGET2. Such CB access should exclude all information on the participants’ customers except where such customers are indirect participants or addressable BIC holders.
(8) When conducted by CBs in their capacity as operators of TARGET2, these quantitative analyses and numerical simulations should serve in particular the purposes of ensuring the efficiency of the design of TARGET2, monitoring the effects of its pricing mechanisms, and making cost-benefit analyses of additional features and services. When conducted by CBs in their capacity as overseers of TARGET2, they should serve in particular the purposes of analysing operational failures in TARGET2, analysing changes in payment patterns and timing, quantifying liquidity levels and settlement outcomes with decreased liquidity, making statistical and structural analyses of transaction flows, and supporting regular and ad-hoc oversight assessments against applicable standards.
(9) It is of the utmost importance to preserve the confidentiality of transaction-level data. For this purpose, access to and use of transaction-level data should be limited to a small group of designated staff members from the CBs. In addition to the rules on professional conduct and confidentiality applicable to CB staff members, the Payments and Settlement Systems Committee (PSSC) of the European System of Central Banks should establish specific rules for access to and use of transaction-level data. CBs should ensure compliance with these rules by their designated staff members and the PSSC should monitor such compliance.
(10) The PSSC should have the option to publish information derived from the use of transaction-level data, provided that this information does not make it possible to identify participants or participants’ customers, whether directly or indirectly.
(11) In order to allow quantitative analyses and numerical simulations to be made using transaction-level data, the Eurosystem should establish a specific device, the TARGET2 Simulator.
(12) In addition to Article 38(2) of the Harmonised Conditions which covers transaction-level data, Article 38(3) of the Harmonised Conditions states more broadly that, provided it does not make it possible, whether directly or indirectly, to identify the participant or the participant’s customers, a CB may use, disclose or publish payment information regarding the participant or the participant’s customers for statistical, historical, scientific or other purposes in the exercise of the public functions of the CB or of functions of other public entities to whom the information is disclosed. Without prejudice to the ability of the CBs to use, disclose or publish such information under this Article, the PSSC should coordinate the actions of the CBs.
(13) Article 5 of Guideline ECB/2007/2 specifies the governance levels of TARGET2, including that the Governing Council is responsible for the direction, management and control of TARGET2 and that the PSSC assists the Governing Council as an advisory body in all matters related to TARGET2. Article 5 of Guideline ECB/2007/2 establishes further that the PSSC conducts the execution of the tasks assigned to the CBs in Guideline ECB/2007/2 within the general framework defined by the Governing Council. In this latter capacity, the PSSC is to conduct certain tasks under this Decision. A voting rule for the PSSC and the possibility for the Governing Council to review the PSSC’s decisions are necessary.
(14) The provisions of this Decision will be extended to apply to non-Eurosystem TARGET2-connected central banks by means of an agreement between these central banks and the Eurosystem,
1. CBs shall access transaction-level data on all participants of all TARGET2 components extracted from TARGET2 for the purposes of ensuring the efficient functioning of TARGET2 and its oversight.
2. For each CB, access to the data referred to in paragraph 1 and their use for quantitative analyses and numerical simulations shall be limited to one staff member and up to three alternates for both operation and oversight of TARGET2, respectively. The staff members and their alternates shall be staff members dealing with the operation of TARGET2 and with market infrastructure oversight.
3. CBs may appoint the staff members and their alternates. Their appointment shall be subject to confirmation by the PSSC. The same procedure shall apply for their replacement.
4. The PSSC shall establish specific rules for guaranteeing the confidentiality of transaction-level data. CBs shall ensure compliance with these rules by their staff members designated in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3. Without prejudice to the application of any other rule on professional conduct or confidentiality by CBs, in the event of non-compliance with the specific rules established by the PSSC, CBs shall prevent any of their designated staff members having access to and use of data referred to in paragraph 1. The PSSC shall monitor compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.
1. The TARGET2 Simulator shall be established for the performance of the quantitative analyses and numerical simulations referred to in Article 1(2).
2. The TARGET2 Simulator shall be developed and maintained by the SSP-providing CBs and Suomen Pankki. It shall comprise the necessary technical infrastructure, data extraction tools, simulation tools and analytical software to be installed in the SSP.
3. The services and technical specifications of the TARGET2 Simulator shall be further determined in an agreement between the SSP-providing CBs and Suomen Pankki and the CBs, approved by the Governing Council.
1. The PSSC shall establish medium-term operational and oversight work programs to be performed by the staff members designated in accordance with Article 1(2) and (3), using transaction-level data.
2. The PSSC may decide to publish information derived from the use of transaction-level data, provided that it is not possible to identify participants or participants’ customers.
3. The PSSC shall act by simple majority. Its decisions shall be subject to review by the Governing Council.
4. The PSSC shall regularly inform the Governing Council of all matters related to the application of this Decision.
Without prejudice to Article 38(3) of the Harmonised Conditions, the PSSC shall coordinate the disclosure and publication by CBs of payment information regarding a participant or a participant’s customers provided for in that Article.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) established, on the basis of the Harmonized System, a goods nomenclature known as the combined nomenclature;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4142/87 (2) determines the conditions under which certain goods are eligible on import for a favourable tariff arrangements by reason of their end-use;
Whereas goods covered by the end-use provisions benefit on their release for free circulation from a reduced or zero rate of duty solely on the condition that they are being used for a specified purpose;
Whereas it is desirable that certain types of integrated circuit test equipment should benefit from relief from customs duty under end-use provisions on importation when destined for the functionality testing of integrated circuits; whereas it is appropriate to introduce in the combined nomenclature subheadings with end-use provisions within HS code 9030 81 for such products;
Whereas the combined nomenclature should therefore be amended,
1. The combined nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1589/96 (2), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (4), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 5(1) and (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for a premium to be granted to compensate for any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat; whereas those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 of 11 April 1986 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat producers is granted (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3519/86 (6);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the Member States were authorised by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1027/97 (7) to pay an initial advance and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2099/97 (8) to pay a second advance to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers; whereas the definitive premiums to be paid in respect of the 1997 marketing year must thus be fixed;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the premium payable to producers of heavy lambs in respect of the 1997 marketing year is obtained by multiplying the loss of income by a coefficient expressing the annual average production of heavy lamb meat per ewe producing such lambs, expressed in terms of 100 kg carcase weight; whereas, in accordance with the abovementioned Regulation, the premium per ewe for producers of light lambs and per female goat for the 1997 marketing year should be 80 % of the premium for producers of heavy lambs;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basis price of the coefficient provided for in Article 8(2) of that Regulation; whereas that coefficient was fixed at 7 % by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2069/92 (9) amending Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89;
Whereas it is opportune to foresee that the aid provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90 of 14 May 1990 instituting specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 193/98 (11), or the balance of this aid, resulting from the application of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1027/27, should be granted before a certain date and under what conditions;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the application from 1 July 1992 of specific measures with regard to agricultural production in the Canary Islands; whereas those measures involve the granting of a supplement to the premium payable to producers of light lambs and female goats on the same terms as those laid down for the granting of the premium provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89; whereas those terms provided for Spain to be authorised to pay the supplement to the premium;
Whereas the agricultural conversion rate has been frozen until 1 January 1999 for certain currencies by Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 (12);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
It is hereby noted that the difference between the basic price less the impact of the coefficient provided for in Article 8(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and the Community market price during the 1997 marketing year was ECU 93,543 per 100 kilograms.
The coefficient provided for in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 is hereby fixed at 16 kilograms.
1. The premium payable per ewe in respect of the 1997 marketing year shall be as follows:
>TABLE>
2. The premium payable per female of the caprine species and per region in areas listed in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1065/86 in respect of the 1997 marketing year shall be as follows:
>TABLE>
The specific aid which Member States are authorised to pay to producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat in less-favoured areas pursuant to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90, within the limits and at the rates provided for in Article 5(7) and the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, or, should it be the case, the balance of this aid, in the event of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1027/97 being applied, shall be paid before 15 October 1998. The agricultural conversion rate applicable to the amount of this specific aid is that of the last day of the 1997 marketing year.
Pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the supplement to the premium for the 1997 marketing year to be granted to producers of light lambs and female goats located in the Canary Islands, within the limits and at the rates laid down in Article 5(7) and the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 5(8) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall be as follows:
- ECU 5,045 per ewe in the case of producers as referred to in Article 5(3) of that Regulation,
- ECU 5,045 per female goat in the case of producers as referred to in Article 5(5) of that Regulation.

- the approved undertaking to which the olives were delivered.
Such applications shall be accompanied by certificates of delivery as referred to in Article 6(1). However, for olives delivered between 1 July and 31 August certificates of delivery must be lodged no later than 1 September.
Where applicable, applications may be accompanied by an application for an advance on the aid.
2. Applications lodged after the deadline shall incur a penalty consisting in a reduction of 1 % of the amount to which the grower would have been entitled had the application been lodged by the due date, for each working day of delay. Applications lodged more than 25 days late shall be refused.
1. Before the definitive payment of the aid, the competent body shall carry out the controls required to check:
- the quantities of table olives covered by certificates of delivery issued,
- the quantities of table olives processed, broken down by grower.
Controls shall involve:
- several physical inspections of goods in stock and a check of the accounts of approved undertakings,
- stricter checks of aid applications from olive growers applying for aid on both table olives and olive oil.
2. Greece shall see that all the necessary controls are in place to ensure that:
- entitlement to table-olive production aid is respected,
- olives entering an undertaking approved under this Decision are excluded from eligibility for olive-oil production aid,
- no more than one aid application is lodged for the same olives.
3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down by Greece, no aid shall be granted to growers as referred to in Article 2(1) whose declarations as provided for in Article 5 or whose aid applications in accordance with Article 7 prove to conflict with the results of checks conducted. However, Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(3) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
1. Growers as referred to in Article 2(1) may receive an advance on the aid requested. The advance shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17(a)(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84(4), multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting advances to growers, the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a provisional processing coefficient to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the further information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be established by the competent body depending on the data available on the approved undertaking concerned. However, the quantity of table olives taken into consideration may not exceed 90 % of the quantity of table olives delivered.
2. Advances on the aid shall be paid from 16 October of the current marketing year to growers applying therefor in accordance with Article 7(1).
0
1. Without prejudice to the reductions provided for in Article 20(d) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the aid shall be equal to the unit amount referred to in Article 17(a)(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, multiplied by the quantity of olive oil equivalent, in accordance with Article 3(1) of this Decision, to the relevant quantity of table olives processed.
For the purposes of granting the aid to growers as referred to in Article 2(1), the quantity of table olives processed shall be determined by applying a processing coefficient for the undertaking concerned to the quantity appearing in the certificate of delivery, as confirmed by the further information notified to the competent body. That coefficient shall be equal to the ratio between the total quantity of table olives processed on the one hand, and the total quantity of table olives covered by certificates of delivery issued on the other hand, in respect of the olive-oil marketing year concerned.
Where the quantity of processed olives corresponding to the aid as set out in the certificate of delivery cannot be established, the quantities of table olives processed for the growers concerned shall be calculated on the basis of the average coefficient for the other undertakings. However, without prejudice to any claims which the olive growers concerned might make against the undertaking, that quantity of processed olives may not exceed 75 % of the quantity shown in the certificate of delivery.
2. The rate applicable for conversion of the amount of the aid into drachma shall be the agricultural conversion rate valid on the first day of the month in which the grower concerned makes his first delivery of olives.
3. Once the controls referred to in Article 8 have been carried out, the aid or, where applicable, the balance of the aid shall be paid to the grower in full within 90 days of fixing by the Commission of the unit amount thereof.
1
Greece shall notify the Commission:
- without delay, of the national measures taken pursuant to this Decision,
- before 1 August of each marketing year, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the estimated output of table olives processed and of the provisional processing coefficients for that estimate,
- before 16 June of each subsequent marketing year, of the quantities of olive oil equivalent to the actual output of table olives processed and of the processing coefficients adopted.
2
This Decision shall apply from 1 September 1999.

This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 provides that the conditions under which durum wheat is cultivated in Pannonia justify that region being recognized as a traditional production zone; whereas, as a result, the production of durum wheat in that zone, which already qualified for reduced aid, is, from the 1998/99 marketing year, eligible for the supplement to the compensatory payment for durum wheat laid down for traditional production zones, up to a ceiling of 5 000 hectares; whereas, as a result, detailed rules should be laid down for the administration of that ceiling and the eligible zones in Pannonia specified;
Whereas, as a result, Regulation (EC) No 658/96 must be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,
Regulation (EC) No 658/96 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 6, the following paragraph 1a is added:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having consulted the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999, and Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, the Commission is to carry out the necessary verifications, communicate to the Member States the results of these verifications, take note of the comments of the Member States, initiate a bilateral discussion so that an agreement may be reached with the Member States in question, and formally communicate its conclusions to them.
(2) The Member States have had an opportunity to request the launch of a conciliation procedure. That opportunity has been used in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been examined by the Commission.
(3) Under Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 and Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, only agricultural expenditure which has been incurred in a way that has not infringed European Union rules may be financed.
(4) In the light of the verifications carried out, the outcome of the bilateral discussions and the conciliation procedures, part of the expenditure declared by the Member States does not fulfil this requirement and cannot, therefore, be financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section, the EAGF and the EAFRD.
(5) The amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section, the EAGF and the EAFRD should be indicated. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commission's written notification of the results of the verifications to the Member States.
(6) As regards the cases covered by this decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with European Union rules was notified by the Commission to the Member States in a summary report on the subject.
(7) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 1 September 2014 and relating to its content,
The expenditure itemised in the Annex hereto that has been incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGGF Guarantee Section, under the EAGF or under the EAFRD shall be excluded from European Union financing because it does not comply with European Union rules.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland, Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Slovenia.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 8 July 1985
amending Directive 74/651/EEC on the tax reliefs to be allowed on the importation of goods in small consignments of a non-commercial character within the Community
(85/349/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the system of reliefs on small consignments sent from one private person to another should be further developed, thereby contributing to the creation of an economic market with characteristics similar to those of a domestic market while, at the same time, facilitating personal and family contacts between private persons in different Member States;
Whereas the amounts of the reliefs from turnover taxes and excise duties laid down by Council Directive 74/651/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 81/934/EEC (5), should be increased in order to take account of trends in the cost of living throughout the Community;
Whereas the taxation system currently in force in Ireland does not yet authorize the full application of tax relief to be allowed on small consignments of a non-commercial character within the Community; whereas that State should therefore be authorized to derogate from Directive 74/651/EEC;
Whereas the amounts of the reliefs and the authorized derogations should be adjusted every two years in order to maintain real value,
Directive 74/651/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1:
(a) in paragraph 2 (d), '70 ECU' is replaced by '100 ECU';
(b) The following paragraph is inserted:
'2a. Notwithstanding paragraph 2 (d), Ireland shall be authorized to exclude from relief those goods the unit value of which is greater than 77 ECU'.
(c) The following paragraph is inserted:
'4. Every two years, and for the first time on 31 October 1987 at the latest, the Council, acting in accordance with the procedures laid down by the Treaty in the matter, shall adjust the amounts of the reliefs referred to in paragraphs 2 and 2a in order to maintain real value.'
2. The following Article is inserted after Article 1a:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 819/2002
of 16 May 2002
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2002(2), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade 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 within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 787/2002(4), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(6), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(8), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 May 2002.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2204/82 of 28 July 1982 laying down general rules for the grant of a special carry-over premium for Mediterranean sardines and anchovies (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2204/82 specified the amounts of the special carry-over premium;
Whereas, as provided for in abovementioned Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/82, these amounts may be reviewed to take account in particular of the trend in processing costs within the Community;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second sentence of Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) and Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined the application from Spain for approval of an amendment to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Ternasco de Aragón’ registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2).
(2) The purpose of this application is to amend the specification concerning the description of the product by increasing the carcase weight range of ‘Ternasco de Aragón’ from 8,5-11,5 kg to 8-12,5 kg. The reference to live weight at slaughter has also been deleted since this quality parameter duplicates the checked measurement of the carcase weight.
(3) The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since this is a minor amendment within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission may adopt it without using the procedure set out in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of that Regulation,
The specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Ternasco de Aragón’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
A consolidated version of the summary containing the main points of the specification is given in Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Articles 133(2) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Protocol No 2 to the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Estonia, of the other part, hereinafter referred to as the "Europe Agreement" and approved by Decision 98/180/EC, ECSC, Euratom of the Council and of the Commission(1), provides for tariff concessions for processed agricultural products originating in Estonia. Protocol No 2 was amended by the Adaptation Protocol(2) adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement. It was improved by Decision No 6/2001 of the EC-Estonia Association Council(3).
(2) A trade agreement has recently been concluded which amends the Adaptation Protocol. It aims to improve economic convergence in preparation for accession and should enter into force not later than 1 July 2003. On the Community side this agreement lays down concessions in the form of completed liberalisation of trade for certain processed agricultural products and duty-free quotas for others. For imports outside of these quotas the current provisions continue to apply.
(3) The procedure for adopting a decision to amend the Adaptation Protocol will not be completed in time for it to enter into force on 1 July 2003. It is therefore necessary to provide for the application of the concessions made to Estonia on an autonomous basis from 1 July 2003.
(4) On processed agricultural products covered by Protocol No 2, but not listed in the present Regulation, the trade provisions laid down by Protocol No 2 should apply.
(5) For the importation of certain goods no duties should be applied; those goods should not be eligible for export refunds.
(6) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(4) provides for a system for managing tariff quotas. The duty-free quotas opened by this Regulation should be managed by the Community authorities and the Member States in accordance with this system.
(7) The measures necessary to implement this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5),
From 1 July 2003, on imports of processed agricultural products originating in Estonia listed in Annex I no duties shall be applied.
The duty-free quotas referred to in Annex II shall be open from 1 July 2003 to 31 December 2003 and for 2004 under the conditions laid down therein.
Processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty shall not be eligible for export refunds under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(6).
For processed agricultural products, which are not covered by Annex I and Annex II, the provisions set out in Protocol No 2 shall apply.
The Commission may suspend the measures provided for in Articles 1 and 2 in case of non-application of the reciprocal preferences agreed by Estonia in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 7.
The duty-free quotas referred to in Annex II shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee referred to in Article 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(7), hereinafter referred to as "the Committee".
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.
3. The Committee shall adopt its Rules of Procedure.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Articles 53 and 80(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In case of a traditional practice governed by special provisions of the producer Member State, that Member State may, by way of derogation from the normal rule, by means of express authorisation and subject to suitable controls, permit that a quality wine produced in specified regions be obtained by adding to the basic product from which the wine is made one or more wine-sector products which do not originate in the specified region whose name the wine bears. In order to ensure that economic operators and competent authorities are not prejudiced by the expiry of this derogation provided for in Article 31(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 (2), a new extension should be granted.
(2) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 753/2002 lists vine varieties and their synonyms that include a geographical indication and that may appear on the labelling of wines. That Annex has to be adapted by the appropriate terms that have been used by Romania.
(3) Due to administrative burden, and in order to avoid any trade difficulties, this Regulation should apply from 1 July 2007.

DIRECTIVE 2007/51/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 September 2007
amending Council Directive 76/769/EEC relating to restrictions on the marketing of certain measuring devices containing mercury
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) The Commission communication of 28 January 2005 on the Community strategy concerning mercury, which considered all uses of mercury, concluded that it would be appropriate to introduce Community-level marketing restrictions on certain non-electrical or non-electronic measuring and control equipment containing mercury, which is the main mercury product group not covered by Community action so far.
(2) There would be benefits for the environment and, in the long term, for human health, through preventing mercury from entering the waste stream, if restrictions on the marketing of measuring devices containing mercury were introduced.
(3) Taking into account technical and economic feasibility, the available evidence concerning measuring and control devices indicates that immediate restrictive measures should cover only those measuring devices that are intended for sale to the general public and, in particular, all fever thermometers.
(4) The import of measuring devices containing mercury that are more than 50 years old concerns either antiques or cultural goods as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 of 9 December 1992 on the export of cultural goods (3). Such trade is limited in extent and seems to pose no risk to human health or the environment, and should therefore not be restricted.
(5) At present, mercury barometers are manufactured by only a few small specialist enterprises and are sold to the general public mainly as decorative items. An additional phasing-out period should be provided for the placing on the market of such barometers so as to allow the manufacturers to adapt their business in line with the restrictions and move over to the production of mercury-free barometers.
(6) With the aim of minimising the release of mercury into the environment and in order to ensure the phasing-out of the remaining measuring devices containing mercury in professional and industrial use, especially sphygmomanometers in healthcare, the Commission should carry out a review of the availability of reliable safer alternatives that are technically and economically feasible. In the case of sphygmomanometers in healthcare, medical experts should be consulted to ensure that the needs, in terms of diagnosis and treatment, of specific medical conditions are adequately addressed.
(7) In accordance with this Directive only the placing on the market of new measuring devices should be restricted. This restriction should therefore not apply to devices that are already in use or sold second hand.
(8) The disparities between the laws or administrative measures adopted by Member States as regards restriction on mercury in various measuring and control devices could create barriers to trade, distort competition in the Community and may thereby have a direct impact on the establishment and functioning of the internal market. It therefore appears necessary to approximate the laws of Member States in the field of measuring and control devices by introducing harmonised provisions with regard to those products containing mercury, thus preserving the internal market whilst ensuring a high level of protection for human health and the environment.
(9) Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (4) should be amended accordingly.
(10) This Directive should apply without prejudice to Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers contained in Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (5) and individual directives based thereon, in particular Council Directive 98/24/EC of 7 April 1998 on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work (6).
(11) In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional agreement on better law-making (7), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interest of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, no later than 3 October 2008, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these measures from 3 April 2009.
When these measures are adopted by the Member States, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

(2) On 19 August 2004 Malaysia has reported an outbreak of avian influenza and therefore the Commission has adopted Decision 2004/606/EC amending for the second time Decision 2004/122/EC in order to apply protection measures also to Malaysia.
(3) Given the disease situation in most countries of the region, in particular with respect to the continuing outbreaks of avian influenza in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the People’s Republic of China and Indonesia, it is necessary to further prolong the protection measures in place.
(4) At present some of the countries listed above have not reported any further outbreaks; therefore their disease status in relation to avian influenza should be reviewed before December 2004.
(5) The western peninsula of Malaysia is listed in Commission Decision 94/85/EC (4) and it is therefore necessary to restrict the importation of table eggs, non-treated game trophies, raw pet food and unprocessed feed materials containing any parts of poultry from this region in Malaysia.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2004/122/EC is amended as follows:

of 15 January 2004
amending Directive 96/3/EC granting a derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs as regards the transport of bulk liquid oils and fats by sea
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) It is necessary to amend Commission Directive 96/3/EC of 26 January 1996 granting a derogation from certain provisions of Council Directive 93/43/EEC on the hygiene of foodstuffs as regards the transport of bulk liquid oils and fats by sea(2), in order to take account of scientific developments.
(2) On the basis of evaluations carried out by the Scientific Committee on Food and, in particular, of its opinion of 20 September 1996, as amended on 12 June 1997 (107th plenary meeting), and the updated opinion of 4 April 2003 on the potential risk to human health arising from the transport in ships' tanks of oils and fats from substances proposed as acceptable previous cargoes, it is necessary to amend the list of acceptable previous cargoes set out in the Annex to Directive 96/3/EC.
(3) In the case of cyclohexanol, 2,3-butanediol, iso-butanol and nonane, the information available was inadequate or needed additional clarification to allow a sound scientific assessment of the toxicological properties and the Scientific Committee on Food was unable to carry out the requested evaluations. These substances were considered by the Scientific Committee on Food not acceptable as previous cargoes and therefore should be removed from the list of acceptable previous cargoes.
(4) In the case of methyl esters of fatty acids (laurate, palmitate, stearate, oleate), acetic anhydride, ammonium polyphosphate, propylene tetramer, propyl alcohol, sodium silicate, in view of data available, the assessment of the Scientific Committee on Food has resulted in the acceptance of these substances as previous cargoes. These substances should be therefore added to the list of acceptable previous cargoes.
(5) In the case of iso-decanol, iso-nonanol, iso-octanol, montan wax, paraffin wax and white mineral oils the information available was inadequate to carry out a complete evaluation. However, according to the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Food, these substances may be considered as provisionally acceptable as previous cargoes considering their unlikely genotoxic potential, their easy removal by tank cleaning procedures and the very low residues expected as a result of these factors and their likely dilution.
(6) These provisionally acceptable substances should be reassessed on the basis of new scientific data and the Annex reviewed as appropriate within an adequate period of time. The data needed for the above evaluation should be provided, in particular, by relevant food business operators.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Directive 96/3/EC is replaced by the Annex hereto.
The substances iso-decanol, iso-nonanol, iso-octanol, montan wax, paraffin wax and white mineral oils, shall be reassessed on the basis of new scientific data and the Annex reviewed as appropriate by 31 December 2006.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 June 2004 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(3) An objection under Article 8 of that Regulation was sent to the Commission following the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(2) of the name set out in the Annex hereto, but that objection was withdrawn after proper explanations were provided. The term "Serrano" is considered specific in itself in accordance with the first indent of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92, i.e. it is untranslatable. It must therefore be used as it stands. Furthermore, the term "Serrano" is registered without prejudice to the use of the term "mountain". There is no conflict between the two terms;
(4) As a consequence, the name set out in the Annex should be entered in the Register of certificates of specific character and thereby protected as a traditional speciality guaranteed within the Community pursuant to Article 13(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92. This means that the name can only be used where the specification is complied with. However, a transitional period of three months should be allowed to use up stocks of the product not meeting the specification;
(5) The Annex hereto supplements the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2301/97(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2527/98(4),
The name set out in the Annex hereto is hereby added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2301/97 and entered in the Register of certificates of specific character provided for in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2014/145/CFSP of 17 March 2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine (1),
Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 (2) gives effect to certain measures provided for in Decision 2014/145/CFSP and provides for the freezing of funds and economic resources of natural persons responsible for, actively supporting or implementing, actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, or stability or security in Ukraine or which obstruct the work of international organisations in Ukraine, and natural or legal persons, entities or bodies associated with them; legal persons, entities or bodies supporting, materially or financially, actions which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine; or legal persons, entities or bodies in Crimea or Sevastopol whose ownership has been transferred contrary to Ukrainian law, or legal persons, entities or bodies which have benefited from such a transfer.
(2) On 22 July 2014, the Council agreed to expand the restrictive measures with a view to targeting individuals or entities who actively provide material or financial support to, or are benefiting from, the Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Eastern-Ukraine.
(3) On 25 July 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/499/CFSP (3) which amends Decision 2014/145/CFSP and provides for amended listing criteria to allow for the listing of natural or legal persons who actively provide material or financial support to, or are benefiting from, the Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Eastern-Ukraine.
(4) That measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to ensuring its uniform application in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement it.
(5) Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, it should enter into force immediately,
Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 is replaced by the following:
‘1. Annex I shall include:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with the first subparagraph of Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18 of the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other part(1), hereafter referred to as the "Association Agreement", which has been in force since 1 March 2000, provides that from 1 January 2000, the Community and Morocco will assess the situation with a view to determining the liberalisation measures to be applied by the parties with effect from 1 January 2001. The Council has authorised the Commission to begin negotiations with the Kingdom of Morocco with a view to concluding a new agricultural agreement to follow on from the existing one, which would take the form of additional protocols to the Association Agreement.
Article 2 of Protocol No 1 to the Association Agreement provides for the application to tomatoes originating in Morocco of an entry price level from which the specific customs duties will be reduced to zero, within the limits of the maximum quantities, periods and conditions stipulated in that Article and Article 3 of the said Protocol.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 2264/2001 of 21 November 2001 introducing certain temporary autonomous concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas applicable to imports into the Community of tomatoes originating in the Kingdom of Morocco(2) lays down temporary measures concerning the tomatoes for the period from 1 November 2001 to 31 May 2002.
(3) Consultations have taken place between the Community and Morocco under Article 2(6) of Protocol No 1 to the Association Agreement pending the conclusion of the comprehensive renegotiation of the agricultural protocols and in order to allow Morocco's traditional exports of tomatoes to the Community to continue without disturbing the Community market.
(4) The outcome of these consultations is an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, which is attached to this Decision, providing for a temporary derogation from Protocol No 1 to the Association Agreement and introducing for the period from 1 October 2002 to 31 May 2003 only arrangements similar to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2264/2001.
(5) The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters provides that the Community reserves the right to terminate those arrangements if the negotiations in hand under Article 18 of the Association Agreement between the Community and the Kingdom of Morocco are not completed before 31 December 2002.
(6) The measures necessary for implementing the arrangements contained in this Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters may be adopted by the Commission in accordance with Article 5(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 of 9 April 2001 providing for the management of Community tariff quotas and of reference quantities for products eligible for preferences by virtue of agreements with certain Mediterranean countries(3).
(7) The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters negotiated between the European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco should be approved,
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco derogating temporarily, as regards the importation into the Community of tomatoes originating in Morocco, from the provisions of Agricultural Protocol No 1 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other part is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

Whereas the Agreements that are concluded by the Community in the framework of the Article XXIV.6 GATT negotiations (8), will result in a reduction of the quantities that may be imported under some of these quotas in the present quota year; whereas it is appropriate in order to avoid exceeding these quotas to postpone the date for submission of licence applications for the fourth quarter until such date as the quantities have been finally established; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1600/95;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1474/95 of 28 June 1995 opening and providing for the administration of the tariff quotas in the egg sector and for egg albumin resulting from the Agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (9), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2916/95, provides in Article 5 that applications for import licences shall be submitted within a period of 10 days commencing on 1 April 1996; whereas the considerations set out above should equally lead to a postponement of this delay until such time as the quantities resulting from the Article XXIV.6 GATT negotiations have been finally established; whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Article 5 of the said Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Regulation are in conformity with the opinions expressed by the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products and the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
1. The following sentence is added to Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1600/95:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/43/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas information shows that the application of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Chapter IV of the Annex to Directive 93/43/EEC relating to the transport of bulk foodstuffs in liquid, granulate or powdered from in receptacles and/or containers/tankers reserved for the transport of foodstuffs, is not practical and imposes an unduly onerous burden on food businesses when applied to the transport of raw sugar by sea, which is not intended for use as food nor as a food ingredient without a full and effective refining process;
Whereas, however, it is necessary to ensure that the granting of a derogation provides an equivalent level of protection of public health, by attaching conditions to the terms of such derogation;
Whereas the availability of receptacles and/or containers/tankers reserved for the transport of foodstuffs by sea is insufficient to serve the continuing trade in raw sugar, which is not intended for use as food nor as a food ingredient without a full and effective refining process;
Whereas experience acquired during the past years has shown that refined sugar is not contaminated where the bulk transport of raw sugar by sea is undertaken in receptacles and/or containers/tankers which are not reserved for the transport of foodstuffs; whereas on the other hand it should be established that receptacles and/or containers/tankers that have been used previously for transportation have been cleaned effectively and that the cleaning procedure is considered as critical to the overall safety and wholesomeness of the refined sugar;
Whereas it is incumbent on Member States by virtue of Article 8 of Directive 93/43/EEC to carry out controls to ensure the application of this Directive;
Whereas this specific derogation, shall be without prejudice to the general provisions of Directive 93/43/EEC;
Whereas the Scientific Committee for Foods has been consulted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in compliance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs,
This Directive derogates from the provisions of Chapter IV, the second subparagraph of paragraph 2, of the Annex to Directive 93/43/EEC and lays down equivalent conditions to ensure the protection of public health and the safety and wholesomeness of the foodstuffs concerned.
1. The bulk transport of raw sugar by sea which is not intended for use as food nor as a food ingredient without a full and effective refining process is permitted in receptacles and/or containers/tankers that are not exclusively used for the transport of foodstuffs.
2. The receptacles and/or containers/tankers referred to in paragraph 1, shall be subject to the following conditions:
— prior to loading the raw sugar, the receptacle and/or container/tanker shall be effectively cleaned to remove residues of the previous cargo and other soiling and inspected to establish that such residues have been removed effectively,
— the immediate previous cargo prior to the raw sugar shall not have been a bulk liquid.
1. The food business operator responsible for the transport of the raw sugar by sea shall keep documentary evidence, accurately describing in detail the immediate previous cargo carried in the receptacle and/or container/tanker concerned, and the type and effectiveness of the cleaning process applied prior to the transport of the raw sugar.
2. The documentary evidence shall accompany the consignment during all stages of transport to the refinery and a copy shall be retained by the refinery. The documentary evidence shall be marked in a clearly visible and indelible fashion, in one or more Community languages, ‘This product must be refined before being used for human consumption’.
3. On request, the food business operator responsible for the transport of the raw sugar and/or the refining process shall provide the competent official food control authorities with the documentary evidence referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2.
1. Raw sugar which has been transported by sea in receptacles and/or containers/tankers which are not exclusively reserved for the transport of foodstuffs shall be subjected to a full and effective refining process before being considered suitable for use as food or as a food ingredient.
2. The food business operators responsible for the transport and refining process shall consider the cleaning process undertaken prior to loading of the raw sugar to be critical to the safety and wholesomeness of the refined sugar within the meaning of Article 3(2) of Directive 93/43/EEC taking into account the nature of the previous cargo carried in the receptacle and/or container/tanker.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive on 1 August 1998. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
2. When Member States adopt these provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by the Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(2) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2398/97 stipulates that where any exporting producer provides sufficient evidence that:
- it did not export to the Community the products described in Article 1(1) of that Regulation during the investigation period (1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996),
- it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the exporting country which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by that Regulation,
- it has actually exported to the Community the products concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community,
then Article 1(3) of that Regulation can be amended by granting that exporting producer the duty rate applicable to cooperating producers which were not included in the sample, i.e. 11,6 %.
B. New exporting producers' requests
(3) Three new Indian exporting producers, after having applied not to be treated differently from the companies which cooperated in the original investigation but were not included in the sample, have provided, on request, evidence showing that they meet the requirements set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2398/97. The evidence provided by these applicant companies is considered sufficient to allow that Regulation to be amended by adding these three new exporting producers to Annex I thereto. Annex I specifies the Indian exporting producers which are subject to the weighted average duty rate of 11,6 %,
The following companies shall be added to the list of exporting producers from India listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2398/97:
- Creative Mobus Fabrics Limited, Mumbai (Bombay),
- Falcon Finstock Pvt. Ltd, Surat,
- Pacific Exports, Mumbai (Bombay).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations (1) provides that the olive yields and oil yields referred to in Article 5(7) of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (2) are to be fixed by homogeneous production zone on the basis of the figures supplied by producer Member States.
(2) The statistical results for Cyprus, Malta and Slovenia, in view of their modest production levels, are obtained on the basis of a single regional area and a small sample that does not permit an accurate national figure to be obtained. The resultant data would thus be inconsistent and unusable for the purposes of controls.
(3) In order to relieve Cyprus, Malta and Slovenia of the heavy administrative burden in applying the method for estimating yields solely for the 2004/05 marketing year, which in any case would produce an inadequate result, a derogation should be made from Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC and Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 and no olive yields or oil yields should be fixed for those Member States for that marketing year.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 2004/05 marketing year, Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC and Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 shall not apply to Cyprus, Malta and Slovenia.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 635/2000(4), to sell by invitation to tender certain quantities of butter that they hold and to grant aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter. Article 18 of that Regulation stipulates that in the light of the tenders received in response to each individual invitation to tender a minimum selling price shall be fixed for butter and maximum aid shall be fixed for cream, butter and concentrated butter.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3/84 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1292/89 (5), became applicable on 1 July 1985 for an initial experimental period of three years;
Whereas application of the arrangements governing the movement of goods within the Community was extended by Regulation (EEC) No 1292/89; whereas the amendments made to those arrangements by that Regulation ensured alignment between the Seventeenth Council Directive 85/362/EEC of 16 July 1985 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Exemption from value added tax on the temporary importation of goods other than means of transport (6) and Regulation (EEC) No 3/84;
Whereas, in its present form, Regulation (EEC) No 3/84 does not allow works of art not accompanied by their authors or agents, or carpets that constitute commerical samples, to benefit from the arrangements; whereas this is not only a retrograde step compared with the situation prior to 1 July 1989 but it also fails to ensure parallelism with Directive 85/362/EEC; whereas it is essential to stipulate that the said Regulation is applicable in both cases;
Whereas Article 8a of the Treaty provides for the progressive establishment over a period expiring on 31 December 1992 of the internal market comprising an area without internal frontiers in which, in particular, the free movement of goods is ensured;
Whereas the effect of implementing that provision will be to make the arrangements governing the temporary movement of goods within the Community redundant;
Whereas amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 3/84 is in the interests of Community nationals; whereas it should therefore become applicable as quickly as possible,
Regulation (EEC) No 3/84 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1 (1a):
- subparagraph (b) replaced by the following:
'(b) made-up articles of fur, precious stones, carpets excluding commercial samples put up as such, and articles of jewellery;'
- subparagraph (e) deleted.
2. The second paragraph of Article 16 replaced by the following:
'This Regulation repealed as from the date of application of Regulation (EEC) No 2726/90 (*).
(*) OJ No L 262, 26. 9. 1990, p. 1.'
3. In Article 16, the following paragraph added:
'The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 15, adopt the necessary transitional provisions.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee, and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification and information on the transparency of financial flows;
(f) information on the resources required for preparing, monitoring and evaluating the single programming document.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 687180000 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 391400000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 295780000 from the public sector and EUR 353467000 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 391400000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, or by up to EUR 60 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which have not yet been approved by the Commission. Submission of the application for assistance, the programming complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls within the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community to certain categories of horizontal State aid(3). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
By way of derogation from the preceding paragraphs, Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 shall apply in the context of rural development part-financed by the ERDF.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 23 November 1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 December 1985
relating to a proceeding under Article 85 of the EEC Treaty (IV/27.593 London Rubber Terminal Market Association Limited)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(89/566/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation N° 17 of 6 February 1962, first Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 2 thereof,Having regard to the notification and application for negative clearance submitted on 29 June 1973 and 20 May 1985 by the London Rubber Terminal Market Association concerning the Rules and Regulations of the Association,Having regard to the summary of the notification published (2) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation
N° 17,After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,Whereas:I. FACTSThe London Rubber Terminal Market Association (LRTMA) is one of many commodity markets established in London. The commodity markets are self-regulatory organizations run by Committees of Management selected by members from amongst themselves, aided by secretariats, and using powers given to them by their members in market rule books. Although the markets are self-regulating, there is an element of supervision by the Bank of England.The object of the LRTMA is to set up and to administer a terminal market in London for rubber. A terminal market or a futures market provides organized facilities for concluding contracts for the purchase and sale of a commodity to be delivered at named future dates. Futures markets have been developed primarily to enable persons involved in commodity trading to protect themselves from the risks of adverse price movements.
The LRTMA provides a market floor for trading and price-making, determines various technical questions such as allowable delivery months and the standard contract terms and procures the provision of clearing and settlement facilities. Trading is done on the floor of the market where dealers face each other with bids and offers being made by the system know as 'open outcry'.The contract currently traded on the Rubber Market is for 5-tonne lots (where delivery is in a single month) or 15-tonne lots (where delivery is in a calendar quarter) (or multiples thereof) of Hevea Braziliensis Plantation Rubber Rubbed Smoked Sheet. Rubber deliverable against the contract must be of a certified quality and the contracts are for delivery at a warehouse approved by the Rubber Trade Association of London in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, or West Germany at the sellers' option.All contracts traded on the London Rubber Terminal Market must be registered with International Commodities Clearing House Limited ('ICCH'), an independent service company which provides clearing and settlement facilities for the LRTMA. ICCH has substantial capital and reserves and is wholly owned by six clearing banks. The principal functions of ICCH are to maintain and organize a 'daily clearing' of all trades and provide a guarantee for due fulfilment of contracts, in accordance with the rules of the LRTMA, to clearing members in whose names such contracts are registered.There are four classes of membership. The first two classes are voting members known as Floor Members and consist of Broker Members and Dealer Members. Their number is limited by the Committee to the practical maximum for the orderly conduct of the business. The present number is 10 Broker Members and 23 Dealer Members. The second two classes are non-voting members: Trade Associate Members and several types of Associate Members. Their number is not limited.Applicants for membership may be of any nationality but must satisfy certain minimum capital requirements laid down from time to time by the Committee of Management. They must furthermore be carrying on business in the rubber trade and must have done so prior to membership for a period of time also to be laid down from time to time by the Committee. Applicants for Floor Membership must trade from an office in London established for that purpose. A detailed statement of the criteria for membership in force at any time may
be obtained from the Association upon application. Membership may be transferred to another firm or company
provided that other also meets the criteria for membership.All Floor Members must be members ('clearing members') of the ICCH and must register their contracts with the ICCH which, in return for its fee, guarantees the performance of the contracts.An appeal procedure applies if the Committee of Management refuses an application for membership, refuses to grant permission for a transfer of member's membership or refuses a change in the control or nature of the member's firm or company. The procedure also applies if a member is expelled or suspended and the member is dissatisfied with the Committee's decision. The candidate or member can ask the Committee to reconsider its decision, making such representations and supplying such information as it considers relevant.Business concluded on the floor of the market between Floor Members may be transacted free of commission. Commission must be charged on all other transactions between members or between members and non-members but rates of commission are freely negotiable. The exemption from the obligation for Floor Members to charge 'a' commission is explained by their ownership of the Market. This causes a variety of extra costs that the other categories of members do not bear because they have no ownership in the Market. Provision is made for an additional commission (equal to the original commission charged on the sale) where rubber is tendered in fulfilment of a contract by a deliverer who is not a clearing member of ICCH in whose name the contract is registered. This extra commission is paid to the clearing member in whose name the contract is registered with ICCH.For administrative purposes and on behalf of its members, ICCH may collect a sum on account of any commission payable on any contract registrable with it. For this purpose, ICCH may, from time to time, notify its members of the rates of commission to be applied by ICCH to contracts which are registrable with it.The international futures markets are the principal markets used in international commodity merchandising and they contribute to the stability and smooth operation of world trade and to world pricing mechanisms. They are also very large. However, as for rubber the volumes of trade are now very small. There is a significant market in Malaysia for rubber. The figures below show the relative size of the LRTMA compared with the futures market in Kuala Lumpur that opened in 1983.Annual volumes of trade 1980 to 1984
(in tonnes)
>TABLE>
II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT1.The notified Rules and Regulations of the LRTMA are to be considered as agreements within the meaning of Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.2.The Rules and Regulations as originally notified specified the minimum net rates of commission which could be charged by a member. The Committee had powers to suspend or expel offending members. The minimum commission rates varied according to who was paying and who was receiving the commission. The rates were cheaper for clearing clients, where the contract was registered in the client's own name with ICCH, than in the case of non-clearing clients, and where a Trade Member was the payer rather than a non-member. The rates were cheapest for Broker Members. Broker Members have the right to deal free of commission but when dealing on behalf of Broker, Dealer or Associate Members, they had in the past to charge at least the minimum rates of commission specified. Broker Members could not trade for their own account. Dealer Members may deal free of commission on the floor but cannot do business for another Floor Member. When dealing on behalf of Associate and non-members, Dealer Members had in the past to charge the relevant minimum rate of Commission. Associate Members may deal direct with each other but must pass all contracts through a Broker or Dealer Member and had in the past to pay the relevant minimum commission. They also had to charge non-members the appropriate minimum commission. The minimum rate of commission charged on all Terminal Contracts traded in a single month of the first delivery quarter was one-third of the usual rate, charged per 5-tonne lot. Subject to certain conditions, a Floor Member could return certain specified sums to any agent who gave orders on behalf of a client. The Commission considered the above-described system of specified minimum commission rates as a form of price-fixing that violated Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty. The LRTMA was requested to abandon the system of fixed minimum rates. The system has now been abolished as such. References to the system in the Rules and Regulations have been deleted. The rules now provide that business concluded on the floor of the market between Floor Members may be transacted free of commission. Commission must be charged on all other transactions between members or between members and non-members. The Commission believes that this obligation is not appreciably restrictive of competition because it only entails the obligation to charge 'a' commission without any reference to the rate. It follows that complete freedom exists to negotiate the actual commission rates.3.Furthermore, as a result of the representations by the Commission, other amendments were also made to the rules concerning membership so that it is now made clear on the face of the Articles that membership is open and the criteria by which applications for
membership are judged are objective (see Facts, seventh paragraph, above). The Committee of Management is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership. To protect the rights of actual or potential members an appeal procedure has been introduced. As an ultimate resort an appellant would have recourse to the ordinary courts under English law.
4.The publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation N° 17 did not bring in any representations.5.The notified Articles of Association and Rules and Regulations, in their amended form, no longer contain any clauses which constitute appreciable restrictions on competition within the common market. Therefore, the Commission, on the basis of the facts in its possession, has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1). Consequently, the Commission is able to issue a negative clearance pursuant to
Article 2 of Regulation 17.
On the basis of the facts in its possession the Commission has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the Rules and Regulations of the London Rubber Terminal Market Association as last notified on 20 May 1985.
This Decision is addressed to The London Rubber Terminal Market Association Limited whose registered office is at Cereal House, 58 Mark Lane, London EC3, United Kingdom.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety(1), and in particular Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission adopted, on 7 December 1999, Decision 1999/815/EC(2), as last amended by Decision 2002/152/EC(3), based on Article 9 of Directive 92/59/EEC, requiring the Member States to prohibit the placing on the market of toys and childcare articles intended to be placed in the mouth by children under three years of age, made of soft PVC containing one or more of the substances di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), and butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP).
(2) The validity of Decision 1999/815/EC was limited to three months, in accordance with the provision of Article 11(2) of Directive 92/59/EEC. Therefore, the validity of the Decision was to expire on 8 March 2000.
(3) When adopting Decision 1999/815/EC it was foreseen to prolong its validity if necessary. The validity of the measures adopted under Decision 1999/815/EC was prolonged under several Decisions for an additional period of three months each time, and is now to expire on 20 May 2002.
(4) Some relevant developments have taken place recently concerning the validation of phthalates migration test methods and the comprehensive risk assessment of these phthalates under the Existing Substances Regulation (Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93(4). However, further work in this area is still necessary to try to solve some crucial outstanding difficulties.
(5) Pending resolution of the outstanding issues, and in order to guarantee the objectives of Decision 1999/815/EC and its prolongations, it is necessary to maintain the prohibition of the placing on the market of the products considered.
(6) Certain Member States have implemented Decision 1999/815/EC by measures applicable until 20 May 2002. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the validity of these measures is prolonged.
(7) It is therefore necessary to prolong the validity of Decision 1999/815/EC in order to ensure that all the Member States maintain the prohibition provided for by that Decision.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Emergencies Committee,
In Article 5 of Decision 1999/815/EC the words "20 May 2002" are replaced by the words "20 August 2002".
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Decision within less than 10 days of its notification. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1971/2002
of 5 November 2002
adjusting certain compensatory agrimonetary aid granted in the United Kingdom and Sweden
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For Sweden and the United Kingdom, the maximum amounts of the first tranches of compensatory aid resulting from the exchange rates applicable on 1 July 2000 and 1 August 2000 are laid down respectively in Commission Regulations (EC) No 1612/2000 of 24 July 2000(2) and (EC) No 2293/2000 of 16 October 2000(3).
(2) For the United Kingdom, the maximum amounts of the first tranche of compensatory aid resulting from the euro conversion rates applicable on 1 July 2001 are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1966/2001(4).
(3) Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 lays down that the amounts paid out under the second and third tranches of aid shall each be reduced, in relation to the level of the previous tranche, by at least a third of the amount paid out in the first tranche; Article 5(4) lays down that the amounts of the second and third tranches shall be reduced or cancelled depending on the extent to which income is affected by any movements in the conversion rates recorded on the first day of those tranches.
(4) Under Council Regulation (EC) No 1672/2000 of 27 July 2000 amending Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops, to include flax and hemp grown for fibre(5), from the 2001/2002 marketing year onwards flax and hemp grown for fibre are included in the support system for certain arable crops. Consequently, from that marketing year onwards, the date of the operative event for area payments in respect of flax and hemp grown for fibre has moved from 1 August to 1 July.
(5) Examination of the rates laid down for the pound sterling and the Swedish krona by Regulation (EC) No 1468/2002 of 12 August 2002 setting the conversion rate applicable to certain direct aids whose operative event is 1 July 2002(6) indicates that those currencies have depreciated.
(6) For the United Kingdom, therefore, the third tranche of the compensatory aid whose operative event falls between 1 July 2000 and 1 August 2000 should be cancelled, as well as the second tranche of compensatory aid whose operative event falls on 1 July 2001.
(7) Under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1967/2001 of 8 October 2001 adjusting certain compensatory agrimonetary aids granted in Denmark and Sweden(7), the granting of the second tranche of compensatory aid whose operative event falls between 1 July 2000 and 1 August 2000 is not authorised for Sweden. In the interest of clarity, in particular as a result of changes in the value of the Swedish krona, the third tranche of this compensatory aid for Sweden should be cancelled.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,
1. The third tranche of compensatory aid for the United Kingdom provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1612/2000 relating to aid whose operative event falls on 1 July 2000 shall be cancelled.
2. The third tranche of compensatory aid for the United Kingdom provided for by Regulation (EC) No 2293/2000 relating to aid whose operative event falls on 1 August 2000 shall be cancelled.
3. The second tranche of compensatory aid for the United Kingdom provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1966/2001 relating to aid whose operative event falls on 1 July 2001 shall be cancelled.
1. The third tranche of compensatory aid for Sweden provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1612/2000 relating to aid whose operative event falls on 1 July 2000 shall be cancelled.
2. The third tranche of compensatory aid for Sweden provided for by Regulation (EC) No 2293/2000 relating to aid whose operative event falls on 1 August 2000 shall be cancelled.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(5) Pending the adoption by the Parliament and Council of the permanent measures, and the entry into force of the corresponding implementing measures in the Member States and in order to guarantee the objectives of Decision 1999/815/EC and its prolongations, it is necessary to maintain the prohibition of the placing on the market of the products considered.
(6) Certain Member States have implemented Decision 1999/815/EC by measures applicable until 20 November 2004. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that the validity of these measures is prolonged.
(7) It is therefore necessary to prolong the validity of Decision 1999/815/EC in order to ensure that all the Member States maintain the prohibition provided for by that Decision.
(8) Article 13(2) of Directive 2001/95/EC, which has repealed and replaced Directive 92/59/EC from 15 January 2004, states that Commission decisions requiring Member States to take measures to prevent serious risks posed by certain products shall be valid for periods not exceeding one year and may be confirmed for additional periods none of which shall exceed one year. It is appropriate to prolong the validity of Decision 1999/815/EC for a period of 10 months, in order to allow sufficient time for the adoption and implementation of the permanent measures referred to in recital 5.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15 of Directive 2001/95/EC,
In Article 5 of Decision 1999/815/EC the words ‘20 November 2004’ are replaced by the words ‘20 September 2005’.
Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

DECISION OF THE SECRETARIES-GENERAL OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE COMMISSION, THE COURT OF JUSTICE, THE COURT OF AUDITORS, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMITTEE OF THE REGIONS AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EUROPEAN OMBUDSMAN
of 26 January 2005
on the organisation and running of the European Administrative School
(2005/119/EC)
THE SECRETARIES-GENERAL OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE COMMISSION, THE REGISTRAR OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE, THE SECRETARIES-GENERAL OF THE COURT OF AUDITORS, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EUROPEAN OMBUDSMAN
,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and to the Conditions of Employment of other servants of the European Communities, as laid down by Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1),
Having regard to the Decision 2005/118/EC of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice, the court of Auditors, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Ombudsman of 26 January 2005 setting up a European Administrative School (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having consulted the Staff Regulations Committee,
Whereas:
(1) Inter-institutional cooperation on training should be reinforced, in particular with a view to transmitting values common to all the Community institutions. Such cooperation represents considerable value added, in particular in terms of access to training, a wider range of training on offer and a reduction in unit costs.
(2) The principle of sound management dictates that a gradual approach should be adopted to setting up the European Administrative School, hereafter ‘the School’.
(3) The Decision setting up the School leaves scope for the Secretaries-General, the Registrar of the Court of Justice and the Representative of the Ombudsman to identify the fields of training to be assigned to it.
(4) Where one of the signatory institutions implements a staff policy requiring training in a special field which the School is called upon to provide, such a policy should be facilitated by ensuring a minimum number of places on the School’s courses for staff of that institution, especially if such training is obligatory or a precondition for exercising particular functions, particularly management functions.
(5) The School, like any other training body, should draw advantage from cooperation at European level by participating in relevant networks.
(6) The details of the attachment of the School to the European Communities Personnel Selection Office, as provided for in Article 4 of the Decision setting up the School, should be laid down,
Duties of the European Administrative School
1. The European Administrative School, hereafter ‘the School’, shall design, organise and evaluate, on behalf of the signatory institutions to the Decision setting up the School (hereafter ‘the institutions’), the following types of training:
(a) management courses for officials and other servants who are called upon, or may be called upon, to perform management functions;
(b) induction courses for new members of staff;
(c) compulsory training as provided for in Article 45a of the Staff Regulations as part of the process for transferring between function groups.
2. Management and induction courses as referred to in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1 may be organised by each of the institutions to supplement those organised by the School in line with their own specific needs. The School shall have exclusive responsibility for organising the training referred to in point (c) of paragraph 1.
Responsibilities of the institutions
1. The appointing authority in each institution shall make a sufficient number of officials available to the School as trainers according to rules adopted by the Management Board as provided for in point (g) of Article 7.
2. At the request of the School and depending on availability, the institutions shall provide it with training rooms in accordance with rules to be set by the Management Board.
Other services
1. Under an agreement between the Principal of the School and any body, office or agency, the School may admit participants from them to the courses which it organises on behalf of the institutions to the extent that there are places free.
2. Specifically in the case of the training provided for in point (c) of Article 1(1), a number of places shall be reserved each year for the Community bodies, offices and agencies, taking account of declared needs, in order to guarantee equal treatment of staff assigned to them in connection with Article 45a of the Staff Regulations. The number of places and the contributions to costs shall be set each year by the Management Board.
3. By written agreement, the School may include courses in its training programmes which are requested by a Community body, office or agency provided this does not hinder the organising of courses for the institutions. Any agreement of this kind shall set out the financial details of the services to be provided by the School and shall require the prior approval of the Management Board before coming into effect.
4. Where appropriate, and at the request of an institution or any Community body, office or agency, the School may provide assistance in the form of training expertise or other activities relating to its field of responsibility by means of an agreement with the Principal of the School setting out the financial details of this service.
Complaints and requests
1. The Principal of the School shall exercise the powers conferred on the appointing authority under Article 90 of the Staff Regulations in respect of all requests or complaints relating to the tasks of the School.
2. In the event of any such complaints, the Principal of the School shall consult the Chairman of the Management Board where he or she intends to endorse the original decision.
3. The School shall answer requests from the European Ombudsman concerning any matter falling within its area of responsibility under this Decision.
Organisation of activities
1. As a general rule, the courses organised by the School shall be given in both Brussels and Luxembourg. Other places of employment may be taken into consideration, consistent with the principle of sound management.
2. The Management Board shall ensure balanced access to courses for staff of the different institutions. It shall ensure, in particular, that a minimum number of places on the School’s courses are available for staff of any institution, where special training which the School has been asked to provide is obligatory or a precondition for exercising particular functions, particularly management functions. As part of the process of devising the annual work programme, any institution concerned shall notify its needs in the relevant fields. Appropriate priority shall be given in the final work programme to organising such courses.
3. So that signatory institutions may be able to cope with special and temporary situations, they may ask the School to admit a number of participants which is higher than its relative share of the total population, transferring to it the requisite budget resources. Article 3(2) shall apply.
4. The School may engage in cooperation with other colleges of administration, institutes and universities active in the same field. Such cooperation may include mutual exchanges.
Management Board
During the period when the School is attached to the European Communities Personnel Selection Office, hereafter ‘the Office’, the function of the Management Board of the School shall be carried out by the Management Board of the Office according to the terms of Article 5 of Decision 2002/621/EC of the Secretaries-General of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, the Registrar of the Court of Justice, the Secretaries-General of the Court of Auditors, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, and the Representative of the European Ombudsman (3).

Council Regulation (EC) No 2093/2000
of 28 September 2000
prohibiting imports of Atlantic swordfish (Xiphias gladius) originating in Belize and Honduras
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Fishery resources, which are an exhaustible natural resource, must be protected in the interests of biological balances and global food security.
(2) The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT), to which the European Community is a Contracting Party, adopted in 1995, an Action Plan to ensure the effectiveness of the conservation Programme for Atlantic Tuna, to ensure the effective conservation of this species.
(3) The stock concerned cannot be managed effectively by the ICCAT contracting parties, whose fishermen are obliged to reduce their catches of Atlantic swordfish, unless all non-contracting parties cooperate with ICCAT and comply with its conservation and management measures.
(4) In 1998 ICCAT identified Belize and Honduras as countries whose vessels fish Atlantic swordfish in a manner which diminishes the effectiveness of the organisation's swordfish conservation measures, substantiating its findings with data concerning catches, trade and the observation of vessels.
(5) ICCAT's attempts to encourage the two countries to comply with measures for the conservation and management of Atlantic swordfish have been to no avail.
(6) ICCAT has recommended the contracting parties to take appropriate measures to prohibit imports from Belize and Honduras of Atlantic swordfish products in any form; these measures 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; these measures must therefore be implemented by the Community, having the sole competence in this matter.
(7) These measures are compatible with the Community's obligations under other international agreements,
The release for free circulation in the Community of Atlantic swordfish (Xiphias gladius) of CN codes ex 0301 99 90, 0302 69 87, 0303 79 87, ex 0304 10 38, ex 0304 10 98, 0304 20 87, 0304 90 65, ex 0305 20 00, ex 0305 30 90, ex 0305 49 80, ex 0305 59 90, ex 0305 69 90, ex 1604 19 91, ex 1604 19 98 and ex 1604 20 70, originating in Belize and Honduras, is hereby prohibited.
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 14 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.

of 19 February 2004
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) Import duties and export refunds still apply to certain sugar products traded between the Community, of the one part, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, hereinafter referred to as "new Member States", of the other part, and the level of export refunds is appreciably greater than the level of import duties. In view of the accession of these countries to the Community on 1 May 2004, the appreciable gap between the level of import duties and the level of export refunds granted for the products in question may result in speculative trade flows.
(10) To prevent any abuse through the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund or levy should be set for all the new Member States for the products covered by this Regulation.
(11) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 20 February 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1563/2001(3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardized by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 391/2014
of 14 April 2014
terminating the partial interim review concerning the anti-subsidy measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America, as extended to imports consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1)and in particular Article 19 and Article 23(6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. PROCEDURE
1.1. MEASURES IN FORCE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 598/2009 (2) the Council imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin (‘the product under review’, or ‘biodiesel’), currently falling within CN codes ex 1516 20 98, ex 1518 00 91, ex 1518 00 99, ex 2710 19 43, ex 2710 19 46, ex 2710 19 47, ex 2710 20 11, ex 2710 20 15, ex 2710 20 17, ex 3824 90 97, 3826 00 10 and ex 3826 00 90 originating in the United States of America (‘measures in force’).
(2) By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 443/2011 (3), following an anti-circumvention investigation, the Council extended the definitive anti-subsidy duty on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America to imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not (‘measures in force as extended’).
1.2. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(3) A request for a partial interim review (‘the review request’) pursuant to Article 19 and Article 23(6) of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 (the ‘basic Regulation’) was lodged by Ocean Nutrition Canada (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from Canada.
(4) The review request was limited in scope to the examination of the possibility of granting an exemption from the measures in force as extended, as far as the applicant is concerned.
(5) In the review request the applicant claimed that it is a genuine producer of biodiesel and that it is able to produce the entire quantity of biodiesel that it has shipped to the Union since the start of the investigation period of the anti-circumvention investigation leading to the imposition of the measures in force as extended.
(6) The investigation period which was taken into consideration for the anti-circumvention investigation, covered the period from 1 April 2009 to 30 June 2010 (‘the original investigation period’). The investigation period for this investigation covered the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 (‘the investigation period’).
(7) The applicant provided prima facie evidence that it had been established as a producer of biodiesel in Canada long before the imposition of the measures in force. In addition, the applicant claimed that it is not related to any producer of biodiesel located in the United States of America.
1.3. INITIATION OF A PARTIAL INTERIM REVIEW
(8) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that the review request contained sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(4) (‘the notice of initiation’), the Commission initiated, on 30 April 2013, a partial interim review pursuant to Article 19 and Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation limited to the examination of the possibility of granting an exemption from the measures in force as extended as far as the applicant is concerned.
1.4. INTERESTED PARTIES
(9) The Commission officially informed the applicant and the representatives of Canada about the initiation of the partial interim review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to a request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation. Only the applicant came forward. No hearing was requested.
(10) The Commission received the questionnaire reply submitted by the applicant, which was verified on the spot at the applicant's premises in Canada.
2. FINDINGS OF THE INVESTIGATION AND TERMINATION OF THE REVIEW
(11) The investigation established that the applicant is a genuine producer of biodiesel and that it is not related to any producer of biodiesel located in the United States of America.
(12) As a result of the findings made during the on-the-spot visits at its premises in Canada, the applicant was requested to submit further information proving that its production capacity was sufficient in order to support its volume of sales during the investigation period.
(13) Notwithstanding several extensions of the deadline, the applicant did not provide to the Commission the information requested.
(14) Furthermore, the investigation showed that after the entry into force of the measures in force as extended, the applicant might have exported the product concerned to the Union under a CN code not subject to those measures. The applicant was invited by the Commission to justify the use of that CN code. However, it did not provide any information or any other evidence showing that those exports should be covered by the CN code not subject to the measures in force as extended.
(15) On the basis of the above, it is considered that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that it was able to produce the entire quantity of biodiesel that it shipped to the Union since the start of the original investigation period. Notwithstanding the fact that the applicant did not provide the information requested by the Commission, it did not provide any other evidence showing that it was not involved in circumvention practices. For that reason, the review investigation should be terminated without granting the applicant an exemption from the measures in force as extended.
(16) Interested parties were informed of the intention to terminate the review investigation and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments which could alter the decision to terminate the review investigation were received.
(17) It is therefore concluded that the partial interim review concerning the anti-subsidy measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America, as extended to imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not should be terminated without amending the measures in force as extended,
The partial interim review of the anti-subsidy measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America, as extended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 443/2011 to imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not, initiated pursuant to Article 19 and Article 23(6) of Regulation (EC) No 598/2009, is hereby terminated without amending the measures in force as extended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

96/432/EC: Council Decision of 8 July 1996 authorizing the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 11 of Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (Sixth VAT Directive)
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 8 July 1996 authorizing the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 11 of Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (Sixth VAT Directive) (96/432/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive, in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas, by registered letter to the Commission dated 13 August 1993, the Netherlands requested authorization to introduce a measure derogating from Articles 11 and 20 of the said Directive;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 27 (3) of the said Directive, the other Member States were informed on 13 September 1993 of the request made by the Netherlands;
Whereas, since it had serious objections to the Dutch Government's request, the Commission, acting under Article 27 (4) of the said Directive, requested by letter dated 11 November 1993 that the matter be raised by the Council;
Whereas the Dutch Government subsequently amended its request, reducing considerably the scope of the special measures derogating from the common system of value added tax;
Whereas the request is confined to a measure introducing a minimum taxable amount for the establishment of rights in rem in respect of buildings or parts thereof and the land on which they stand where the party acquiring the rights is a non-taxable legal person or a taxable person carrying on exempted activities that do not entitle him to deduct VAT;
Whereas under Article 5 (3) of Directive 77/388/EEC the Netherlands considers the establishment of rights in rem to be a supply of goods;
Whereas, availing itself of the possibility open to it under Article 13 (C) (b) of the said Directive, the Netherlands allows taxable persons to opt for taxation of the establishment of rights in rem in respect of buildings or parts thereof and the land on which they stand other than those referred to in Article 4 (3) (a) of the said Directive; whereas the derogation therefore also relates to such transactions;
Whereas, by taking the open market value as the taxable amount for certain supplies, the proposed measure derogates from Article 11 (A) (1) (a) of the said Directive, which provides that the taxable amount for supplies of goods is to be everything which constitutes the consideration which has been or is to be obtained by the supplier from the purchaser or a third party for such supplies, including subsidies directly linked to the price of such supplies;
Whereas the derogation is aimed at preventing the tax avoidance which takes place when the contracting parties agree on an abnormally low price for the establishment of rights in rem, which attracts VAT, and compensation for this price in the form of a high price for the freehold sale of the property, which is exempt from VAT;
Whereas the special measure is to apply only in cases where the administration is able to prove that the taxable amount determined in accordance with Article 11 (A) (1) (a) of the said Directive is abnormally low; whereas the administration may not act on mere presumptions, and the parties concerned must be allowed to adduce evidence to the contrary where they dispute the level of the open market value established by the administration;
Whereas, given the limited scope of the derogation, the special measure is proportionate to the aim pursued;
Whereas the authorization is granted temporarily, thereby enabling the effects of the measure to be assessed once it has been applied for a certain period of time;
Whereas the derogation in question has no adverse impact on the European Community's own resources accruing from value added tax,
By way of derogation from Article 11 (A) (1) (a) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Netherlands is hereby authorized to take the open market value, as defined in Article 11 (A) (1) (d) of the said Directive, as the taxable amount for the establishment of rights in rem in respect of buildings or parts thereof and the land on which they stand, considered to be tangible property in pursuance of Article 5 (3) of that Directive, where the following two conditions are met:
- the taxable amount determined in accordance with Article 11 (A) (1) (a) of the Directive is abnormally low in comparison with the price that could be obtained for the property in a transaction between independent parties operating at arm's length,
- the party acquiring the rights in rem is a non-taxable legal person or a taxable person carrying on exempted activities that do not entitle him to deduct VAT.
This authorization shall be granted until 31 December 1998.
This Decision is addressed to the Netherlands.

8.4.2011 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 94/31
COMMISSION DECISION
of 7 April 2011
extending the transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land in Latvia
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/226/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Chapter 3 of Annex VIII thereto,
Having regard to the request made by Latvia,
Whereas:
(1) The 2003 Act of Accession provides that Latvia may maintain in force, under the conditions laid down therein, for a 7-year period following the accession, expiring on 30 April 2011, prohibitions on the acquisition of agricultural land by natural and legal persons from other EU Member States who are neither established nor registered nor having a branch or an agency in Latvia. This is a temporary exception to the free movement of capital as guaranteed by Articles 63 to 66 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. This transitional period may only be extended once for a period of up to 3 years.
(2) On 6 December 2010, Latvia requested to extend the transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land by 3 years.
(3) The main reason for the transitional period was the need to safeguard the socioeconomic conditions for agricultural activities following the introduction of the single market and the transition to the Common Agricultural Policy in Latvia. In particular, it aimed to meet concerns raised about the possible impact on the agricultural sector of liberalising the acquisition of agricultural land due to initial large differences in land prices and income compared with Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom (hereinafter the EU-15). The transitional period was also designed to ease the process of restitution and privatisation of agricultural land to farmers. In its Report of 16 July 2008 on the Review of the transitional measures for the acquisition of agricultural real estate set out in the 2003 Accession Treaty (hereinafter the ‘Mid-Term Review of 2008’), the Commission has already emphasised the importance of the completion of the above-mentioned agricultural reform by the end of the foreseen transitional period (1).
(4) According to data available to Eurostat, agricultural land prices in Latvia are lower than the agricultural land prices in the EU. Complete convergence in agricultural land sales prices was neither expected nor seen as a necessary pre-condition for terminating the transitional period. Nevertheless, the noticeable differences in agricultural land prices between Latvia and EU-15 are such that they can hinder smooth progress towards price convergence.
(5) Similarly to the levels of agricultural land prices, the data from Eurostat show that the gap in per capita GDP in Purchasing power standards in Latvia and EU-15 still persists. Thus, existing agricultural land prices in Latvia are high for the Latvian residents relative to their purchasing power.
(6) The lower competitiveness of the Latvian agricultural sector compared to the agricultural sector in EU-15 also persists and the problem is compounded by difficulties in access to financial resources and by high interest rates applied to commercial credit lines for the acquisition of agricultural land (15 % per annum in 2009 according to data supplied by the Latvian authorities).
(7) Moreover, according to data supplied by the Latvian authorities based on the State Land Service of Latvia, as of 1 January 2010, the agricultural land constitutes 37,7 % of the country’s total territory, and forests areas cover 45,8 % of it. In 2007 62 % of agricultural land was owned by farmers and 26,6 % of it was rented. While agricultural land in Latvia is already predominantly in private hands, the process of restitution of ownership rights and the land reform in rural areas are still not completed.
(8) The lack of clarity on property rights inevitably hinders land transactions and consolidation of agricultural estates. Land fragmentation, in turn, further contributes to lower competitiveness and leads to less market-oriented farms. In this context, Eurostat data show that, although gradual consolidation of land is ongoing and the average exploited agricultural area per farm in Latvia increased from 10 ha to 16 ha per farm between 2001 and 2007, the latter is still lower than in other EU Member States, such as Denmark, Germany and Sweden, where this average amounted to 60 ha, 46 ha and 43 ha respectively in 2007.
(9) The recent global financial and economic crisis also had a negative impact on Latvia’s economy. The lack of demand followed by a sharp reduction in purchase prices for agricultural products, at the time when the prices for raw materials remained at the high level of 2008, additionally aggravated the already disadvantaged position of Latvian farmers compared to farmers from EU-15.
(10) Against this background, it may be anticipated, as do the Latvian authorities, that the lifting of the restrictions on 1 May 2011 would exert pressure on the land prices in Latvia. Therefore, a threat of serious disturbances on the Latvian agricultural land market upon the expiry of the transitional exists.
(11) An extension by 3 years of the transitional period referred to in Chapter 3 of Annex VIII to the 2003 Act of Accession should therefore be granted.
(12) In order to fully prepare the market for liberalisation, it continues to be of utmost importance, even amid adverse economic circumstances, to foster the improvement of factors such as credit and insurance facilities for farmers, and the completion of the agricultural structural reform during the transitional period, as already emphasised in the Mid-Term Review of 2008.
(13) Since the open single market has always been at the heart of the European prosperity, an increased inflow of foreign capital would bring along potential benefits also for the agricultural market in Latvia. As emphasised in the Mid-Term Review of 2008, foreign investment in the agriculture sector would also have important long-term effects on the provision of capital and know-how, on the functioning of land markets and on agricultural productivity. The progressive loosening of the restrictions on foreign ownership during the transitional period would also contribute to preparing the market for full liberalisation.
(14) For the purpose of legal certainty and in order to avoid a legal vacuum in the national legal system of Latvia after the expiry of the current transitional period, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The transitional period concerning the acquisition of agricultural land in Latvia referred to in Chapter 3 of Annex VIII to the 2003 Act of Accession shall be extended until 30 April 2014.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1685/88
of 13 June 1988
opening and providing for the administration of a Communiy tariff quota for certain frozen fillets of hake
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, under the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Argentine Republic on the conclusion of negotiations under Article XXIV.6 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), approved by Decision 88/45/EEC (1), the Community has undertaken to open for the period 1 July to 31 December of each year a Comunity tariff quota at a duty of 10 % for 5 000 tonnes of frozen fillets of hake (Merluccius spp.) falling within code 0304 20 57 of the combined nomenclature and presented in the form of industrial blocks with bones ('standard'); whereas use of this tariff quota is subject to compliance with the reference price; whereas the tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for the period 1 July to 31 December 1988;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas, however, since the quota is to cover requirements which cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy, it should not be allocated among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, under conditions and according to a procedure to be determined; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota share allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July to 31 December 1988 the customs duty applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of the Community tariff quota as shown below:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota (in tonnes) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // 09.0037 // ex 0304 20 57 // Frozen fillets of hake (Merluccius spp.) presented in the form of industrial blocks with bones ('standard') // 5 000 // 10 // // //
(1) OJ No L 24, 29. 1. 1988, p. 58.
Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession.
2. Where the Community has fixed a reference price for the products or categories of products concerned, imports of those products shall benefit from the quota referred to in paragraph 1 only if the free-at-frontier price determined by the Member States in accordacne with Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 (1) is at least equal to the reference price.
3. If an importer gives notification of imminent imports of the product in question into a Member State and applies to take advantage of the quota, corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the quota so permits.
4. The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 3 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 1 (3) enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have free access to the quota for such time as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the product concerned against their drawings as and when the goods are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports of the product concerned actaully charged against the quota.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 24 October 1995 implementing Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC on construction products (Text with EEA relevance) (95/467/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 13 (3) of Directive 89/106/EEC provides two different procedures for attestation of conformity for a product; whereas Article 13 (4) requires the choice of the procedure within the meaning of Article 13 (3) for a given product or family of products to be specified by the Commission, after consulting the Standing Committee on Construction;
Whereas this choise between the two procedures has to be specified according to the criteria laid down in Article 13 (4);
Whereas Article 13 (4) states that, in the case of each procedure, there is a requirement for the Commission to select the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to the satisfaction of the criteria laid down in Article 13 (4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
Whereas Article 13 (4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures in Article 13 (3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility without continuous surveillance, second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility with continous surveillance of point (ii) of Section 2 Annex III;
Whereas the Standing Committee for Construction was consulted, as required by Article 13 and according to the provisions of Article 20, and provided a favourable opinion on 27 September 1995,
The products and families of products set out in Annex 1 shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex 2 shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in the assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as per Annex 3 shall be given in mandates for harmonized standards.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other Financial Instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 764872137 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 185436069.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 282869402 from the public sector and EUR 296566666 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 185436069. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2.
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 [now Articles 87 and 88] to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 3 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

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),

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 214/94 of 31 January 1994 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Council Regulation (EC) No 130/94 with regard to the import arrangements for frozen beef falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 130/94 of 24 January 1994 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for frozen meat of bovine animals falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 21 (1994) (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 130/94 lays down the method for administering the Community tariff quota for frozen beef falling within CN code 0202 and for products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 and splits that quota into two parts, one of 42 400 tonnes apportioned between traditional importers and the other of 10 600 tonnes apportioned between operators who have been engaged in trade in beef with third countries;
Whereas, in order to ensure a smooth switchover from arrangements based on national administration to Community-administered arrangements, while bearing in mind the special aspects of trade in the products in question, provisions should be made for the allocation of trade in the products in question, provisions should be made for the allocation of the first part, in proportion to the quantities previously imported, to traditional importers who can prove that they imported products under the quota in 1991, 1992 and 1993; whereas, however, on the basis of the submission of applications from interested parties and subject to their acceptance by the Commission up to a certain limit, importers who can demonstrate the genuine nature of their business and who apply for quantities of some significance should be granted access to the second part; whereas verification of these criteria requires that applications be submitted in the Member State in which the importer is registered;
Whereas importers no longer engaged in trade in beef and veal at 1 January 1994 should be barred access to the quota in order to prevent speculation;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3519/93 (3), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2867/93 (5), lays down special detailed rules for applying the system of import licences for beef and veal;
Whereas the effective management of this quota and in particular the prevention of fraud require that the licences used are returned to the competent authorities in order that they may verify that the quantities shown therein are correct; whereas, to that end, an obligation should be imposed on the competent authorities to carry out such verification; whereas the amount of the security to be lodged on the issue of the licences should be fixed in such a way as to ensure that the licences are used and returned to the competent authorities;
Whereas provision should be made for the Member States to forward information on the import arrangements in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The quantities referred to in point (a) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 130/94 (42 400 tonnes) shall be reserved for importers who can furnish proof of having imported frozen meat falling within CN code 0202 and products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 under the quotas referred to in Council Regulations (EEC) No 3838/90 (6), (EEC) No 3667/91 (7) and (EEC) No 3392/92 (8) during the last three years.
2. The quantity referred to in point (b) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 130/94 (10 600 tonnes) shall be reserved for operators who can furnish proof of having:

- exported at least 110 tonnes in 1992 and 150 tonnes in 1993 of beef and third countries.
For this purpose 'beef' means products falling within CN codes 0201, 0202 and 0206 29 91, and the minimum reference quantities shall be expressed in terms of product weight.
3. The 42 400 tonnes shall be allocated between the various importers in proportion to their imports during the reference years proof of which shall be provided in accordance with paragraph 5.
4. The 10 600 tonnes shall be allocated in proportion to the quantities applied for by eligible operators.
5. Proof of import and export shall be furnished solely by means of customs documents of release for free circulation and export documents.
1. Importers as referred to in Article 1 (1) who are no longer engaged in trade in beef and veal on 1 January 1994 shall not qualify under the arrangements provided for in this Regulation.
2. Companies arising from mergers where each part has rights pursuant to Article 1 (1) shall enjoy the same rights as the companies from which they are formed.
1. Import applications may be submitted only in the Member State in which an applicant is registered.
2. For the purposes of Article 1 (1), importers shall submit applications to participate together with the proof referred to in Article 1 (5) to the competent authorities by 11 February 1994 at the latest.

After verification of the documents submitted, Member States shall forward to the Commission by 4 March 1994 at the latest a list of importers complying with the conditions for acceptance and containing in particular their names and addresses and the quantities of meat imported under the quota in question during each reference year.
3. For the purposes of Article 1 (2), applications to participate from operators shall be lodged together with the proof referred to in Article 1 (5) by 11 February 1994 at the latest.
Where an applicant submits more than one application, all such applications shall be inadmissible.
Applications shall relate to an overall quantity of no more than 50 tonnes of frozen meat in product weight.
After verification of the documents presented, Member States shall forward to the Commission by 4 March 1994 at the latest a list of applicants and quantities applied for.
