2001/777/EC: Council Decision of 6 November 2001 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under a special lending action for selected environmental projects in the Baltic Sea basin of Russia under the Northern Dimension
|
Council Decision
of 6 November 2001
granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under a special lending action for selected environmental projects in the Baltic Sea basin of Russia under the Northern Dimension
(2001/777/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) The Northern Dimension was launched by the Helsinki Council of 10-11 December 1999, which invited the Commission to put forward an Action Plan for the Northern Dimension. The Feira European Council in June 2000 adopted the Action Plan in the external and cross-border policies of the EU during 2000-2003. The Northern Dimension covers the geographical area from Iceland to the west across to North West Russia, from the Norwegian Barents and Kara Seas in the North to the Southern coast of the Baltic Sea.
(2) The Northern Dimension aims at addressing the special regional development challenges in northern Europe. These include harsh climatic conditions, long distances, particularly wide disparities in living standards, environmental challenges including problems with nuclear waste and waste water management, as well as insufficient transport and cross border facilities. It aims to intensify cross border cooperation between the European Union and its neighbouring countries and regions in northern Europe.
(3) The Community already supports some environmental projects in Northwest Russia with grants from TACIS, which, inter alia, pays attention to the need to reduce environmental risks and pollution, including transboundary pollution. It is justified for the Community to strengthen its support through limited European Investment Bank (EIB) loans. The involvement of the EIB would reinforce the impact of Community actions, not only by increasing the funds available, but also through the professional involvement of the Bank's project teams.
(4) At the initiative of the Presidency, the Ecofin Council of 12 March 2001 considered a set of criteria for a limited EIB special action for environmental projects in North West Russia, notably in the St Petersburg and Kaliningrad areas. It was underlined that (a) projects must be assessed by the EIB and the loans authorised on a case-by-case basis by its Board of Governors. It is thus not a question of a general lending mandate for Russia; (b) projects must have a strong environmental objective and be of significant interest for the European Union; (c) the EIB must cooperate and co-finance with other international financial initiatives in order to ensure reasonable risk sharing and appropriate project conditionality; (d) the aggregate volume of loans is to be subject to an indicative ceiling of EUR 100 million; (e) Russia must honour its international financial obligations, including those to the Paris Club.
(5) The Stockholm European Council of 23-24 March 2001 concluded that the Union should open up EIB lending for selected environmental projects in Russia, according to specific criteria decided by the Council.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to provide a guarantee to the EIB to allow it to sign loan operations under this special lending action for selected environmental projects in the Baltic Sea rim of Russia, notably in the St Petersburg and Kaliningrad areas. The EIB has indicated its ability and willingness to extend loans from its own resources in North West Russia in accordance with its Statute.
(7) This special action, involving a separate 100 % Community guarantee, is of an exceptional nature and is not to be considered as a precedent for any future actions.
(8) The Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership (NDEP) will provide a framework for the setting of priorities, involving the Commission, bilateral and multilateral donors, international financial institutions and the transition countries concerned.
(9) EIB financing in Russia under this Decision should be managed in accordance with the EIB's usual criteria and procedures, including appropriate control measures, as well as with the relevant rules and procedures concerning the Court of Auditors and OLAF.
(10) For the purpose of adopting this Decision, the only powers provided for by the Treaty are those set out in Article 308,
Objective
The Community shall grant the European Investment Bank (hereinafter referred to as "the EIB") a guarantee in respect of all payments not received by it but due in respect of credits opened, in accordance with its usual criteria, for investment projects carried out under this special lending action in the Baltic Sea basin of Russia under the Northern Dimension. Eligible projects shall have a strong environmental objective and be of significant interest to the European Union.
Ceiling and conditions
1. The overall ceiling of the credits opened shall be EUR 100 million.
2. For the purposes of this specific Decision, the EIB shall benefit from an exceptional Community guarantee of 100 % which covers the total amount of credits opened under this decision and all related sums.
3. Projects financed by loans to be covered by the guarantee shall satisfy the following criteria:
(a) eligibility in accordance with Article 1;
(b) cooperation and co-financing by the EIB with other international financial institutions in order to ensure reasonable risk-sharing and appropriate project conditionality.
4. The Board of Governors of the EIB, under Article 18(1), second paragraph, of the Protocol on the Statute of the European Investment Bank shall approve on a case-by-case basis each loan to be covered by the Community guarantee.
5. The Board of Directors of the EIB shall only propose projects for approval to the Board of Governors if Russia honours its international financial obligations, including obligations for its Paris Club debt.
Reporting
The Commission shall inform the European Parliament and the Council each year of the loan operations carried out under this Decision and shall, at the same time, submit an assessment of the implementation of this Decision and of coordination between the international financial institutions involved in the projects. The information submitted by the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council shall include an assessment of the contribution of the lending under this Decision to the fulfilment of the Community's objectives under the Northern Dimension.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, the EIB shall transmit to the Commission the appropriate information.
Duration
The guarantee shall cover loans signed during a period of three years from the date of adoption of this Decision. If, on expiry of those three years, the loans signed by the EIB have not attained the overall ceiling referred to in Article 2, this period shall be automatically extended by six months.
Final provisions
1. This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
2. The EIB and the Commission shall fix the terms on which the guarantee is to be given.

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

Commission Regulation (EC) No 241/97 of 10 February 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 laying down certain measures for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 on structural improvements in inland waterway transport
|
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 241/97 of 10 February 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 laying down certain measures for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 on structural improvements in inland waterway transport
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 of 27 April 1989 on structural improvements in inland waterway transport (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2310/96 (2), and in particular Articles 4a, 6 and 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89, as amended, provides for the possibility of reducing structural overcapacity in inland waterway transport in the Member States concerned by introducing schemes coordinated at Community level for the scrapping of vessels in 1996, 1997 and 1998, with a view to reducing fleet capacity by some 15 %;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 of 27 April 1989 laying down certain measures for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 on structural improvements in inland waterway transport (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2326/96 (4), the Commission establishes the practical arrangements for these scrapping schemes;
Whereas, in respect of the scrapping scheme for 1997, the total financial contribution payable to the Scrapping Funds by the Member States concerned is estimated at ECU 64 million, to achieve a reduction in capacity of about 5 %; whereas this contribution is calculated in proportion to the size of the active fleet of each Member State concerned, as provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2254/96 (5);
Whereas, for 1997, the financial contribution from the Member States concerned and the contribution payable by the trade must be shared between dry cargo vessels, pusher craft and tanker vessels;
Whereas, in order to achieve the objective of reducing overcapacity, the annual contribution payable by the trade must be maintained and the 50 % rate provided for in Article 3 (4) must be restored to the rates laid down in Article 3 (1);
Whereas the scrapping premiums should also be increased to make the scrapping scheme more attractive; whereas a procedure should also be reintroduced under which priority is given to applications for the lowest premiums within a bracket ranging from 80 % to 100 % of the maximum rates applicable from 1 January 1997, so that as much capacity as possible can be scrapped;
Whereas, in order to improve the operation of the mutual financial support arrangements between the separate national Scrapping Funds, the 'adjusted annual financial commitments` formula established in 1989 by Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 should be adapted;
Whereas, on a transitional basis, the special contribution payable as part of the measures to avoid increasing existing overcapacity and to prevent the appearance of new overcapacity should be maintained at its 1990 level for vessels, the building of which has passed a certain stage and which are brought into service within six months following into entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas, to enable the 1997 scrapping scheme to go ahead, between May and December 1997, the lodging of new applications pursuant to Article 6 (6) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 must be suspended so that no vessel can be placed on a quarterly waiting list and at the same time be entered under the 1997 scrapping scheme procedure; whereas the quarterly mechanism for applying for premiums from the Scrapping Funds, as provided for in Article 6 (6) (b) of the Regulation, as amended, must therefore also be suspended;
Whereas the budgetary implications for the Member States concerned and the need to initiate the procedure by introducing national implementing measures from the start of 1997 make it necessary to bring this Regulation into force as a matter of urgency;
Whereas the Member States and the Group of Experts on Structural Improvements in Inland Waterway Transport, set up pursuant to Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89, have been consulted on the proposed amendments,
Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 is amended as follows:
1. The following paragraph 6 is added to Article 1:
'6. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 5, and in view of the need to reduce the capacity of their inland waterway fleets by some 5 % in 1997, the Member States concerned shall pay to the Scrapping Funds, from 1 January 1997 and from their national budgets, the amounts necessary for scrapping the vessels referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89, namely ECU 54 million, to supplement the financial resources referred to in paragraph 4. To achieve this aim, a total budget of ECU 64 million is considered necessary for 1997, of which ECU 40 million (*) is for the scrapping of dry cargo vessels and pusher craft and ECU 24 million (*) for the scrapping of tanker vessels. For 1997, each of the Member States concerned shall pay a financial contribution proportional to the capacity of its active fleet, in equivalent tonnage, the national contributions being as follows:
- Austria: ECU 900 000,
- Belgium: ECU 7 920 000,
- Germany: ECU 13 760 000,
- France: ECU 1 260 000,
- The Netherlands: ECU 30 160 000.
(*) Approximate figure at present.`
2. Article 3 (4) is deleted.
3. Article 5 is amended as follows:
(a) In paragraph 1 '100 %` is replaced by '115 %` and a new subparagraph is added:
'For 1997, the scrapping premium rates shall be as follows:

- Push barges: ECU 60/tonne
- Lighters: ECU 47/tonne
- Tanker vessels:
- Self-propelled barges: ECU 243/tonne
- Push barges: ECU 108/tonne
- Lighters: ECU 43/tonne
- Pusher craft:
ECU 180/kW with a linear increase to ECU 240/kW where the motive power is equal to or greater than 1 000 kW.`
(b) The following text is added to paragraph 2:
'For vessels with a deadweight capacity of between 650 and 1 650 tonnes, the maximum rates for the scrapping premiums shall show a linear increase from 100 % to 115 % for vessels up to 1 650 tonnes. For vessels with a deadweight capacity of more than 1 650 tonnes, the maximum rates for the scrapping premiums shall remain at 115 %.`
(c) Paragraph 4 is deleted.
4. Article 9 (2) is amended as follows:
The expression 'referred to in Article 2` is replaced by 'of publication of the first Official Journal of the European Communities for 1997 in which the interest rates applied by the European Monetary Institute to its operations in ecu for the month of January are specified`.
5. Article 10 (2) (b), the fourth indent is replaced by the following:
'- the adjusted annual financial commitment (Pnn) of each Fund, calculated as follows:
Pnn = >NUM>Pt >DEN>(Rdt+St)
Ă (Rdn + Sn).`
For 1997, Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 is replaced by the following:
'Article 6
1. Applications for scrapping premiums submitted by vessel owners must be received by the authorities of the relevant Fund between 1 May and 31 August 1997. Applications received after this deadline shall not be considered. An application for a scrapping premium, once received by the Fund authorities, may not be withdrawn or modified.
2. Applicants for scrapping premiums shall indicate in their applications the percentage, within the bracket ranging from 80 % to 100 % of the maximum rates set out in Article 5, which they wish to receive as a premium for scrapping their vessels. This percentage is referred to hereinafter as the "premium-rate percentage".
3. Valid applications for scrapping premiums amounting to 80 % of the rates set out in Article 5 (1) and (2) shall be deemed to be accepted by the Fund within the limits of the financial resources available in the various accounts, as provided for in Article 1 (6). The Fund authorities shall confirm their acceptance of applications within two months of receipt.
The authorities of the various Funds shall send to the Commission each month a list of the applications which they have received for scrapping premiums amounting to 80 % of the abovementioned rates. The Commission shall ensure that these applications do not exceed the financial resources referred to in Article 1 (6) and shall keep the Fund authorities informed of the current situation.
4. The Fund authorities shall, before 1 November 1997, notify in writing applicants for scrapping premiums exceeding 80 % of the rates set out in Article 5 (1) and (2) as to whether those applications have been accepted or refused.`
For 1997, Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, '1 December 1990` is replaced by '1 April 1998`. The final sentence is deleted;
(b) in paragraph 4, '1 December 1992` is replaced by '1 December 1999`.
The scrapping premium, where it constitutes the special contribution payable under the system for preventing any increase in existing overcapacity or the appearance of new overcapacity, shall be maintained at its 1990 level for a transitional period of six months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation in respect of vessels which meet the conditions set out in Article 8 (3) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

97/750/EC: Commission Decision of 6 November 1997 terminating the anti-dumping review concerning imports of video tapes in cassettes originating in the People's Republic of China
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 6 November 1997 terminating the anti-dumping review concerning imports of video tapes in cassettes originating in the People's Republic of China (97/750/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 3091/91 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of video tapes in cassettes originating in the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as 'China`) falling within CN code ex 8523 13 00.
2. Request for a review
(2) Following the publication in April 1996 of a notice of the impending expiry (4) of the measures in force, the Commission received in July 1996 a request for a review lodged by the Conseil EuropĂŠen de l'Industrie Chimique (CEFIC) on behalf of two Community producers allegedly representing a major proportion of the total production of the product concerned in the Community. The request contained evidence of dumping of the product originating in the People's Republic of China, and of material injury likely to result in the event of expiry of the existing measures.
(3) On 24 October 1996, considering that there was sufficient evidence to warrant the initiation of a review under Article 11 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Basic Regulation`) the Commission announced by a notice (5) published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (hereinafter referred to as the 'Notice of Initiation`) the initiation of an expiry and interim review of Regulation (EEC) No 3091/91.
3. Investigation
(4) The Commission officially advised the Community producers, the importers and the Chinese producers/exporters known to be concerned as well as the representatives of China of the opening of the investigation and gave the parties concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set in the Notice of Initiation.
(5) The Commission commenced the review, which included the distribution of questionnaires to all parties involved seeking the information necessary for the assessment of dumping, injury and likelihood of dumping and of recurrence of injury.
(6) No replies to the questionnaire were received from any Chinese producer/exporter of the like product.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST
(7) Initially, in its request for an expiry review CEFIC referred to two Community producers:
- BASF Magnetics GmbH (Germany),
- TDK Recording Media Europe S.A. (Luxembourg).
(8) TDK Recording Media Europe S.A. informed the Commission that it would not actively support the request for the review. Consequently, it did not submit a response to the Commission questionnaire. In view of the absence of cooperation from this company, it was excluded from the definition of the 'Community industry` for the purpose of the injury or likelihood of recurrence of injury determination.
(9) For the remainder of the proceeding, therefore, BASF Magnetics GmbH, the sole cooperating Community producer which supported the request, was considered to be the 'Community industry`.
(10) At the beginning of 1997, BASF Magnetics GmbH was taken over by a Korean company and changed its name into Emtec GmbH (hereinafter 'Emtec`). Given the fact that Emtec is not a member of CEFIC, the complainant CEFIC informed the Commission that it could no longer act as the legal representative of the Community industry. It further declared that it withdrew the request for an expiry review. However, Emtec informed in writing the Commission that it wanted to remain an active complainant supporting the review proceeding.
(11) The reply to the questionnaire received from Emtec and the supplementary information submitted subsequently at the request of the Commission were incomplete and incoherent. The information submitted was consequently found to be insufficient for the purpose of an anti-dumping investigation. Despite the fact that the original deadline for replying to the questionnaire had been extended several times, Emtec failed to provide the necessary information.
(12) Emtec GmbH was informed of its lack of sufficient cooperation and replied that it had made all possible efforts to submit additional detailed data as requested by the Commission within the deadline set. However, the Commission established that essential information had not been submitted even after several contacts between the Community producer and the Commission.
C. CONCLUSION
(13) In view of the circumstances set out above, the Commission, in accordance with Article 18 (1) of the Basic Regulation has established that the Community industry has not provided the information deemed necessary to assess injury and to examine whether the expiry of the measures in force would result in a recurrence of injurious dumping, as alleged in the request.
(14) It is considered therefore that the anti-dumping review should be terminated and that the anti-dumping measures in force should be allowed to expire forthwith.
(15) The Commission informed the interested parties, including the Community industry, of its conclusions. After being informed by the Commission of the above facts and conclusions, representatives of the Community industry made further representations, both in writing and orally, concerning the impact of the Chinese imports in question on the Community industry. However, no information or argument was provided which could, after examination, reverse the above conclusions.
(16) Member States did not raise any objections to the termination of the review proceeding,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of video tapes in cassettes falling within CN code ex 8523 13 00 originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby terminated.

Whereas, according to the information provided by the Member States, the average intervention measures taken within the Community for 1992/93 concerned 684 250 tonnes in the case of apples; whereas the Commission has established therefore that the intervention thresholds for this marketing year have been exceeded by 442 250 tonnes in the case of apples;
Whereas in consequence of the above the basic and the buying-in prices for apples for the 1993/94 marketing year fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1289/93 must be reduced by 5 %; whereas this reduction is to be added to that resulting from the monetary realignments of September and November 1992, January and May 1993;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 12 (7) and Article 25 thereof,
Whereas the information available on the trend in cattle numbers indicates that the coefficients used in calculating the price of adult bovine animals on the representative markets of the Community should be adjusted;
Whereas, because relatively few animals are brought to certain representative markets in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, these markets should be deleted from the list of United Kingdom representative markets and replaced by new ones;
Whereas Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 610/77 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3470/80 (3), should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EEC) No 610/77 is hereby amended as follows: 1. Annex I is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
2. Annex II (J) (1) is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1055/94 of 5 May 1994 deferring the final date for sowing oil seeds in certain areas
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Aricle 2 (1) (c) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 328/94 (4), appoints 15 May as the final date that may be set by Member States for the sowing and submission of applications in respect of oil seeds, pursuant to Article 11 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas, for climatic reasons, the aforementioned date does not allow sowings of certain types of oil seed to be made in suitable ground conditions in certain areas; whereas, in accordance with the seventh indent of the first paragraph of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, provision should therefore be made, in such areas, to extend the time limit for the sowing of the various oil seed crops concerned; whereas the said extension should, however, compromise neither the efficiency required of the support system for producers of arable crops nor the timetable for checks relating to this system; whereas as a result of the experience gained to date, it is appropriate to fix 31 May as the said time limit for the areas concerned;
Whereas deferring the sowing date for certain oil seed crops in certain areas does not constitute sufficient grounds for changing the date laid down for the lodgment of 'area' aid applications as referred to in Article 6 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 165/94 (6); whereas, nevertheless, the procedure for confirmation of sowings provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 should be made as simple as possible;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The final date for sowing the specified oil seed crops, pursuant to Article 2 (1) (c) and (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92, shall be postponed until 31 May prior to the marketing year in question in areas, to be defined by the Member State, located within the regions listed in the Annex hereto.
Without prejudice to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (7):
(a) the final date for confirming sowings to the competent authority pursuant to Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92 shall be fixed as 31 May prior to the marketing year in question;
(b) Member States may introduce an implicit confirmation procedure whereby no notification on the part of the producer is equivalent to a confirmation of sowing. Producers who have not carried out the intended sowings must inform the competent authority of that fact.
The Member States shall notify the Commission, by 13 May 1994 at the latest, of the areas defined by them pursuant to Article 1 and of the measures taken to apply this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 50 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) some passports within the meaning of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 of 21 April 1997 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products(2), accompanying steers, explicitly include a reference to the effect that eligibility expires during January 2000;
(2) in view of this reference, farmers in possession of steers with such passports may consider that they are entitled to the first instalment of the special premium for these animals, even though the amendment to the age limits introduced by Article 4(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 means that the animals are no longer eligible from 1 January 2000 onwards;
(3) to protect these farmers' legitimate expectations, Member States should accordingly be allowed to take account of these dates in the case of steers whose eligibility would normally end on 31 December 1999 under Article 2(2)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999 of 28 October 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal as regards premium schemes(3);
(4) to discourage farmers from delaying the lodgement of their special premium applications and to ensure that they do not gain any undue benefit, the aid rate of be applied to the animals in question must be that for 1999;
(5) the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Member States may decide that steers which, on the basis of the expiry date for eligibility in their passports, would have been the subject of an application for the first tranch of the special premium on or after 1 January 2000 under the second indent of Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organisation of the market in beef and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1244/82 and (EEC) No 714/89(4), as repealed by Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999, but which are no longer eligible for that first tranche from 1 January 2000 onwards by virtue of the entry into force of Article 2(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999, may be the subject of an application for the first tranche of the premium scheme until the expiry date for eligibility referred to in Article 2.
This Regulation shall apply only to steers accompanied by a passport within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 820/97, provided that the competent authority has also included on the passport an expiry date in January 2000 for eligibility for the first tranche of the special premium under the second indent of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92.
The premium granted per animal pursuant to this Regulation shall be that applicable for applications lodged in respect of 1999.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 862/2001(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for lemons will shortly be exceeded.

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 33 and 36 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 (2) grants a derogation under the aid scheme for grape must used to enrich wine for musts from wine-growing zones other than CIII, which is due to expire at the end of the 2004/05 wine year. Pending a more radical change to the aid scheme in the context of the planned reform of the common organisation of the market in wine, this derogation should be extended until the end of the 2006/07 wine year.
(2) Articles 45, 59 and 61 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 set certain dates for the distillation of the by-products of winemaking. In view of the very large harvest in 2004/05, certain Member States are experiencing practical difficulties in completing the distillation by the deadlines laid down. Those deadlines should therefore be extended.
(3) Article 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 provides for a derogation from the distillation arrangements for wine obtained from grapes of varieties classified as both wine-grape varieties and varieties for the production of spirits distilled from wine with a designation of origin for the 2001/02 to 2004/05 wine years. Pending a more radical change to these arrangements in the context of the planned reform of the common organisation of the market in wine, this derogation should be extended until the end of the 2006/07 wine year.
(4) Article 63a of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 concerning the distillation of wine into potable alcohol fixes a percentage of production which producers may offer for this type of distillation. That percentage should be fixed for the 2005/06 wine year.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since the new wine year begins on 1 August 2005, this Regulation should apply from that date.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of Article 13(1), ‘for wine years 2003/04 to 2004/05’ is replaced by ‘for wine years 2003/04 to 2006/07’.
2. In Article 45(1), the following subparagraph is added:
3. In the fourth subparagraph of Article 52(1), ‘for wine years 2001/02 to 2004/05’ is replaced by ‘for wine years 2001/02 to 2006/07’.
4. In Article 59, the following paragraph is added:
5. In Article 61(3), the following subparagraph is added:
6. The last sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 63a(2) is replaced by the following:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 August 2005.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second and third indents of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the accession of new Member States to the European Union, the typography defined for the Community logo by the graphic manual laid down in Annex V, part B.4, to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 no longer has all the necessary characters and accents of all the official languages. Therefore, a further typography has to be allowed in the graphic manual.
(2) Annex VI, Section C, to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 lists the ingredients of agricultural origin which have not been produced organically but which may be used in the preparation of foodstuffs in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 5 of that Regulation, provided that it has been shown that such ingredients obtained by the organic production method are not available in sufficient quantities within the Community.
(3) After it had been established that organically produced casings were not available in sufficient quantities within the Community, Annex VI, Section C, to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 was amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 473/2002 (2), in order to include casings in the list of agricultural ingredients, for a transitional period expiring on 1 April 2004.
(4) It appears, however, that the availability in organically produced casings still remains very limited and that it is unlikely that sufficient quantities will be available in the future. It is therefore necessary to allow the use of casings not produced according to the organic farming method without any limit in time.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended as follows:
1. In Annex V, part B.4, Section 2.4 (Typography) is replaced by the following:
2. In Annex VI, Section C, point C.3, in the entry for ‘casings’, ‘until 1 April 2004 only’ is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2004/556/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular to Article 106(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Since 1 January 1999 the European Central Bank (ECB) has had the exclusive right to approve the volume of euro coins that the Member States that have adopted the euro (hereinafter the participating Member States) may issue.
(2) Based on the estimates of demand for euro coins in 2004 that the participating Member States submitted to the ECB, the ECB approved the total volume of euro coins intended for circulation and euro collector coins not intended for circulation in 2004 in Decision ECB/2003/15 of 28 November 2003 on the approval of the volume of coin issuance in 2004 (1).
(3) Until now in one participating Member State the estimates underlying Decision ECB/2003/15 were insufficient due to higher than expected demand for euro coins in 2004, as well as to unforeseen economic developments. As a result, this participating Member State now has to obtain the ECB’s approval before issuing additional euro coins in 2004.
(4) On 1 June 2004 the Italian Ministry for Economic Affairs and Finance asked the ECB to approve an increase of 200 million EUR in the volume of euro coins intended for circulation that Italy may issue in 2004.
(5) The ECB approves the abovementioned request for an increase in the volume of euro coins intended for circulation that Italy may issue in 2004. As a result, the table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2003/15 needs to be replaced,
The table in Article 1 of Decision ECB/2003/15 is replaced by the following:
(EUR million)
Issuance of coins intended for circulation and issuance of collector coins (not intended for circulation)
‘Belgium 203,0
Germany 1 035,0
Greece 207,4
Spain 860,0

Whereas on 16 May 1988 the Portuguese Republic forwarded an amendment to the programme on the development of agriculture and sheep farming in the concelho de Mertola;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 25 June 1987
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers
(87/357/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas in serveral Member States legal provisions or regulations are in force concerning certain products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the safety or health of consumers; whereas, however, these provisions differ in content, scope and field of application; whereas, in particular, these provisions concern in certain Member States all products which resemble foodstuffs while not being such whilst in other Member States they concern products likely to be confused with foodstuffs, especially confectionery;
Whereas this situation creates significant barriers to the free movement of goods and unequal competitive conditions within the Community without ensuring effective protection for consumers, especially children;
Whereas these obstacles to the establishment and operation of the common market must be eliminated and adequate protection ensured for consumers in accordance with the Council resolutions of 14 April 1975 and 19 May 1981 respectively on the first (3) and second programmes (4) of the European Economic Community for a consumer protection and information policy and the Council resolution of 23 June 1986 on a new impetus for consumer protection policy (5);
Whereas the health and safety of consumers should enjoy an equivalent level of protection in the different Member States;
Whereas to that end it is necessary to prohibit the marketing, import and both the production and the export of products which, since they can be confused with foodstuffs, jeopardize the health or safety of consumers;
Whereas provision should be made for controls to be carried out by the competent authorities of the Member States;
Whereas, in accordance with the principles embodied in the Council resolutions on consumer protection, dangerous products must be withdrawn from the market;
Whereas provision should be made for the possibility of discussing and examining the measures taken by the Member States to ban such products or withdraw them from the market, so as to ensure uniform application throughout the Community of the principles embodied in this Directive; whereas such examination and discussion can be conducted within the Advisory Committee set up under Decision 84/133/EEC (6);
Whereas, given the possible need to widen the scope to cover dangerous imitations of foodstuffs and to evaluate and review the procedures laid down in this Directive, provision should be made for the Council, two years after the implementation of the Directive and acting on a Commission report on experience gained, to decide on the possible adjustment of the provisions of the Directive,
1. This Directive applies to the products, defined in paragraph 2 below, which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
2. The products referred to in paragraph 1 above are those which, although not foodstuffs, possess a form, odour, colour, appearance, packaging, labelling, volume or size, such that it is likely that consumers, especially children, will confuse them with foodstuffs and in consequence place them in their mouths, or suck or ingest them, which might be dangerous and cause, for example, suffocation, poisoning, or the perforation or obstruction of the digestive tract.
Member States shall take all the measures necessary to prohibit the marketing, import and either manufacture or export of the products referred to in this Directive.
Member States shall in particular ensure that checks are carried out on products on the market to ascertain that no product falling within the scope of this Directive is being marketed and shall take all necessary measures to ensure that their competent authorities withdraw or cause to be withdrawn from their markets any product covered by this Directive.
1. If a Member State takes a specific measure persuant to Articles 2 and 3, it shall inform the Commission thereof. It shall give a description of the product and the grounds for its decision.
Where details of the product are already required under Decision 84/133/EEC, no further notification is required under this Directive.
The Commission shall forward the details to the other Member States at the earliest opportunity.
2. The Committee set up by Decision 84/133/EEC may be requested by the Commission or a Member State to enter into an exchange of views on questions relating to the application of this Directive.
Two years after the date referred to in Article 6, on the basis of a Commission report on experience gained, accompanied by appropriate proposals, the Council shall take a decision on a possible adjustment to this Directive, in particular with a view to extending its scope to cover dangerous imitations other than imitations of foodstuffs and any review of the procedures laid down in Article 4.
1. Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 26 June 1989. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
This Directive is adressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 of 17 December 1999 fixing for 2000 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required and amending Regulation (EC) No 66/98(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1447/2000(4), lays down quotas for herring for 2000.
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of herring in the waters of ICES divisions I and II by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden have exhausted the quota allocated for 2000. Sweden has prohibited fishing for this stock from 13 July 2000. This date should therefore be adopted in this Regulation,
Catches of herring in the waters of ICES divisions I and II by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden are hereby deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Sweden for 2000.
Fishing for herring in the waters of ICES divisions I and II by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden is hereby prohibited, as are the retention on board, transhipment and landing of this stock caught by the above vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 13 July 2000.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 69(7) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 49(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (2), Member States may request by 1 August in any given calendar year from 2010 a revision of the amounts referred to in Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 where the amount resulting from application of the calculation set out in the first subparagraph of Article 69(7) of that Regulation for the financial year in question differs by more than 20 % from the amount fixed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009.
(2) Denmark, Finland and Slovenia have addressed to the Commission a request for a revision of the amounts referred to in Article 69(6)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 with effect from 2012.
(3) Following the requests submitted by Denmark, Finland and Slovenia, the Commission has made the necessary calculation in order to verify that the threshold of 20 % referred to in Article 49(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 was reached in the financial year 2010. For the purpose of applying Article 69(7)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 the Commission used the average rate of modulation estimated for Denmark, Finland and Slovenia respectively when fixing the net ceilings set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.
(4) According to this calculation, in the case of Denmark, Finland and Slovenia, the amount resulting from application of the calculation set out in the first subparagraph of Article 69(7) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 for the financial year 2010 differs by 47 %, 29 % and 47 % respectively from the amount fixed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) 1120/2009.
(5) The amount fixed for Denmark, Finland and Slovenia in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 should therefore be revised. Such revised amounts should be applicable from the calendar year 2012, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 49(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

(a) the entry concerning Denmark is replaced by the following:
‘Denmark 23,25’
(b) the entry concerning Finland is replaced by the following:
‘Finland 6,19’
(c) the entry concerning Slovenia is replaced by the following:
‘Slovenia 3,52’

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, exports from the Community of products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (b) thereof may be subject to presentation of an export licence.
(2) The negotiations on the adoption of additional concessions, held within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and the associated central and east European Countries, aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market in beef and veal.
(3) To benefit from these concessions, it has been agreed in the context of the above negotiations that the beef and veal products covered by some of these agreements and exported from the Community to these countries must be accompanied by a certified copy of the export licence endorsed "without refund". In this context, provision should be made for the Member States to issue to interested parties upon request, under simplified arrangements, export licences for products covered by Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 for which no licence is currently required and which are intended for export to the associated countries of central and eastern Europe.
(4) Since the purpose of the above licences is simply to certify that the products exported have not received an export refund, the issue of those licences is not subject to the application of the fourth subparagraph of Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, under which the issue of export licences is subject to the lodging of a security guaranteeing that the products are exported during the term of validity of the licence. For the sake of clarity, it should be specified that Article 15(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 325/2003(4), does not apply to those licences.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(6), should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
The following Article 7a is added to Regulation (EC) No 1445/95:
"Article 7a
1. At the request of the interested party the Member States shall issue, without delay, export licences for beef and veal products falling within CN codes 0206 10 91, 0206 10 99, 0206 21 00, 0206 22 00, 0206 29 99, 0210 99 59 and ex 1502 00 90 which are intended for export to the associated countries of central and eastern Europe.
2. The period of validity of these licences shall be 60 days and they shall carry the words 'without refund' in box 20.
3. Notwithstanding Article 8(3), these licences shall carry the 8-digit CN code in box 16.
4. Articles 9 and 13 shall not apply to licences issued under this Article.
5. Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not apply to licences as referred to in paragraph 1."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

2. In concluding the direct award contract, the AIMA must seek the most favourable conditions.
1. A security of 6 ECU per tonne of product shall be lodged by the party concerned at the time of the signature of the contract. It shall be released on completion of the operations in question and as regards the quantities not delivered in the event of force majeure.
2. The security referred to in paragraph 1 may be lodged in cash or in the form of a guarantee given by a credit establishment satisfying the requirements laid down by the Member State.
The intervention agency shall require the following information from the party concerned:
(a) after each shipment, an attestation detailing the quantities loaded, the quality of the products and their form of packing;
(b) the date of departure and the date set for the arrival of the products at their destination;
(c) any incident which may occur during transport of the products.
The intervention agency shall forward, as soon as it has received them, the above particulars to the Commission together with a copy of the direct award contract.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

of 2 April 2009
laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code, derogating from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1875/2006 (2) has introduced in 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 (3) an obligation for economic operators to provide electronic entry and exit summary declarations to the customs authorities for goods entering or leaving the customs territory of the Community, in order to enable those authorities to carry out computerized risk analysis on the basis of such information before the goods are brought into or out of the customs territory of the Community. In accordance with Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1875/2006, this information is to be provided from 1 July 2009.
(2) Due to the complexity of the processes for introducing of electronic entry and exit summary declarations, unanticipated delays have occurred in the implementation process so that not all economic operators will be in a position to use information technology and computer networks for these purposes by 1 July 2009. Though information technology and computer networks facilitate international trade, they also require investments in automatic data transmission systems which may cause problems for economic operators in the short term. It is therefore appropriate to take such situations into account by providing that during a transitional period economic operators will be able, but will not be obliged, to lodge electronic entry and exit summary declarations in order to allow them to adjust their systems to the new legal requirements.
(3) The introduction of a transitional period for electronic exit summary declarations justifies maintaining, for the same period, the facilitation which can be granted under Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to approved exporters benefiting from the local clearance procedure, provided that the customs office of exit is located in the same Member States as the customs office of export and receives the particulars necessary for the exit of the goods.
(4) In cases where economic operators do not lodge electronic entry or exit summary declarations or where the local clearance procedure is used under Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the customs authorities will not be able to carry out risk analysis for safety and security purposes on the basis of the data laid down for entry and exit summary declarations in Annex 30A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. In those cases, the customs authorities should use for their risk analysis the information available, at the latest upon presentation of the goods entering or leaving the customs territory of the Community.
(5) On the basis of the information available it may be assumed that a transitional period of 18 months is sufficient to permit economic operators to comply with all obligations laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The derogations provided for in this Regulation should therefore end on 31 December 2010. Accordingly after 31 December 2010 electronic entry and exit summary declarations with the data laid down in Annex 30A of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should be lodged within the prescribed time limits for goods entering or leaving the customs territory of the Community, and the facilitation provided for in Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should no longer apply.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
From 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010 the lodging of the entry summary declaration referred to in Articles 1(17) and 183 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall not be mandatory.
That entry summary declaration can be lodged on a voluntary basis.
Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the entry summary declaration is not lodged, the risk analysis referred to in Article 184d of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall be carried out by the customs authorities at the latest upon presentation of the goods at arrival in the customs territory of the Community, where appropriate on the basis of the declaration for temporary storage or the customs declaration covering the goods or any other information available for these goods.
Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the entry summary declaration is not lodged, the provisions regarding goods brought into the customs territory of the Community laid down in Title III of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 and in Part I Title VI of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 as applicable on 30 June 2009 shall apply.
From 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010 the lodging of the exit summary declaration referred to in Articles 592f (1), 842a and 842b of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall not be mandatory.
That exit summary declaration can be lodged on a voluntary basis.
Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the exit summary declaration is not lodged, the risk analysis referred to in Article 842d(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 shall be carried out by the customs authorities at the latest upon presentation of the goods at the customs office of exit, where appropriate on the basis of the information available for these goods.
Where in accordance with paragraph 1 the exit summary declaration is not lodged, re-exportation shall be notified to the customs authorities in accordance with Article 182(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 as it applied on 30 June 2009.
Article 285a(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 may be applied until 31 December 2010 with regard to approved exporters benefiting from this facilitation at the date of entry into force of this Regulation, provided that the customs office of exit is located in the same Member State as the customs office of export and receives the particulars necessary for the exit of the goods.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2009 until 31 December 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 789/2009
of 28 August 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 as regards protection against attacks by vectors and minimum requirements for bluetongue monitoring and surveillance programmes
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(c), Articles 11 and 12 and the third paragraph of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 of 26 October 2007 on implementing rules for Council Directive 2000/75/EC as regards the control, monitoring, surveillance and restrictions on movements of certain animals of susceptible species in relation to bluetongue (2) lays down rules on movements of those animals, in relation to bluetongue, in and from the restricted zones. It also establishes conditions for exemptions from the exit ban applicable to movements of such animals, their semen, ova and embryos provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC. Those conditions include the protection of such animals against attacks by vectors.
(2) For the purpose of allowing more flexibility in the design of the bluetongue monitoring and surveillance programmes that are in place in the Member States, and specifically as regard the demarcation of ‘lower risk areas’, alternative strategies to surveillance with sentinel animals but which provide the same level of guarantees on demonstrating the absence of virus circulation may de designed. The serological/virological surveys may also include the testing of samples which are collected for other purposes, such as samples from slaughterhouses or from bulk milk.
(3) Experience has shown that the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 aimed at preventing the exposure of animals to vectors can be difficult to apply. However, under certain conditions, in establishments such as artificial insemination centers or quarantine stations, it may be possible to prevent the exposure of animals to vectors. The protection against attacks by vectors should not solely depend on the use of insecticides and/or repellents but should also require that the animals are kept inside a vector proof establishment where additional measures, in particular a combination of appropriate physical barriers and chemical (insecticides and/or repellents) treatments, are taken to prevent contact between the animals and the vectors. The absence of vectors may be verified by operating vector traps inside such establishments.
(4) The Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Animal Health and Welfare of the EFSA on the ‘Risk of Bluetongue Transmission in Animal Transit’, adopted on 11 September 2008 (3) indicates that the risks resulting from moving animals during a seasonal period of low transmission risk, even without additional tests, remains substantially lower than during other periods, even when combined with serological or PCR testing. In addition, when the duration of the period of transit during which the animals are exposed to attacks by vectors does not exceed one day, the efficiency of insecticides and or repellents as risk mitigation measures is regarded as sufficient to protect the animals from such attacks.
(5) Transit through ‘lower risk areas’, where vaccination is applied and where there is no circulation of specific bluetongue serotype or serotypes of the virus, pose no risk of infection for animals.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to establish certain derogations from the general requirement laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 that animals and vehicles must be treated with insecticides or repellents for all transit movements.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 7(2a), the introductory phrase is replaced by the following:
2. In Article 9, paragraph 1(c) and paragraphs 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
‘(c) when a rest period of more than one day is foreseen at a control post during the movement through a restricted zone, the animals are protected against attacks by vectors in a vector proof establishment.
(a) exclusively from or through epidemiologically relevant geographical areas of the restricted zone during the bluetongue seasonally vector-free period defined in accordance with Annex V, or
(b) from or through parts of the restricted zone demarcated as a “lower-risk area” in accordance with Article 7(2a).
3. In Article 9a, the following paragraph 4 is added:
4. Annexes I and III are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/2002
of 1 August 2002
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 2 August 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 of 30 June 1992 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas pursuant to Council Decision 88/377/EEC of 24 June 1988 concerning budget discipline (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof, the Commission must set up an effective early-warning system in order to ensure that the agricultural guideline is respected;
Whereas a reliable system must be established for the financial monitoring of the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92; permitting reactions in the framework of the early-warning system for budget discipline and estimates of the trend in expenditure affecting future budgets as a result of the multi-annual nature of the commitments entered into under programmes approved under Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 and resulting in expenditure to be charged to the Community budget over several years;
Whereas, to that end, the system of monitoring must be based on the individual undertakings made under the programmes approved under Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 and on short-term forecasts updated regularly;
Whereas the decision approving the programmes fixes an amount to be part-financed for the period 1993 to 1997 which is subject to review on the basis of actual programme implementation, and it is therefore necessary that each programme approved be monitored;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to those provisions (1) and having regard to their comments,
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) On 26 February 2007 Italy adopted the Law No 17/2007 (2), including Article 4-bis which prolongs the application of a regional aid scheme providing automatic tax credits for new investments in the assisted areas of Italy, which had been approved in 2001 and 2002 by the Commission (3) and which expired on 31 December 2006.
(2) By letter dated 7 March 2007 (D/50987) the Commission requested the Italian authorities to submit information on Article 4-bis of the Law No 17/2007. The Italian authorities replied by letter, registered at the Commission on 19 March 2007 (A/32387).
(3) By letter of 10 July 2007 (4), the Commission informed Italy of its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the measure created by Article 4-bis of the Law No 17/2007.
(4) The Commission Decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(5). The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments on the aid.
(5) The Commission received no comments from interested parties.
(6) By letter dated 24 July 2007, registered at the Commission on 25 July 2007, the Commission was informed of the intention of the Italian authorities to repeal the measure. By e-mail of 9 October 2007, the Italian authorities confirmed their intention and submitted a draft legal provision repealing the measure.
(7) On 23 November 2007 the Commission asked the Italian authorities to submit the adopted final legal provision, which repealed the measure in question.
(8) The Italian authorities submitted the adopted final legal provision to repeal Article 4-bis of Law No 17/2007 by letter registered at the Commission on 15 January 2008.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE
(9) The measure aimed at prolonging the period during which the investment expenditure under an approved regional aid scheme, which expired on 31 December 2006, could have been incurred.
(10) Under the regional aid scheme (N 646/A/2000), which aimed at promoting regional development in the Italian regions eligible for regional aid under the regional aid map 2000-2006 (6) and which expired on 31 December 2006, a beneficiary obtained the legal right to a tax credit by carrying out a positive net investment that was established on the basis of an accountancy/balance sheet approach for eligible expenses to be incurred before 2007. The original scheme was amended in 2002 with the introduction of a budgetary-cap mechanism requiring the beneficiary to apply for a reservation of funds to the fiscal authorities. The amendment did not change the expiry date for the scheme, nor its limitation to expenditure incurred before 2007.
(11) By adopting Article 4-bis of the law No 17 of 26 February 2007, the Italian authorities extended the period during which expenditure could have been incurred until 2008.
III. GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
(12) The Commission refers to sections 4.1 and 4.2 of its Decision to open the formal investigation procedure.
IV. COMMENTS FROM ITALY
(13) On 24 July 2007 the Italian authorities informed the Commission of their intention to repeal the measure.
(14) On 9 October 2007 the Italian authorities reassured the Commission that the measure would be repealed by Article 3, comma 18 of the 2008 Finance Bill (d.d.l. Finanziaria 2008), approved by the Council of Ministers on 28 September 2007.
(15) Following the Commission's request to submit the adopted definite legal provision repealing the measure, the Italian authorities submitted to the Commission the text of Article 1, comma 65 of the Budget Law 2008 (7) (Legge finanziaria) on 15 January 2008 which includes the relevant legal provisions which repeal Article 4-bis of the law No 17 of 26 February 2007.
V. ASSESSMENT
(16) Article 1, comma 65 of the Budget Law 2008 stipulates that the amendment to the original legal scheme adopted by Article 4-bis of Law No 17/2007, i.e. the possibility to prolong the eligible investment expenditure until 2008, is repealed. Further, Article 2, comma 65 of the Budget Law 2008 also foresees the reallocation of the budgetary appropriations of the measure (8).
(17) Since the tax credit accrued with reference to the eligible costs incurred in 2007 can only be claimed definitively at the moment of the 2007 fiscal declaration, in 2008, at the time this tax declaration has to be submitted to the fiscal agency, no legal basis or budget for the tax credit exist.
(18) The measure has therefore become nil and void, and no tax credits can be granted for expenditure incurred after 2006 on the basis of the legal provision adopted by Article 4-bis of L. 17/2007.
VI. CONCLUSION
In view of the foregoing, the Commission considers that the formal investigation procedure initiated under Article 88(2) of the Treaty as regards the prolongation of the eligible investment expenditures until 2008 is without object,
Due to the repeal of the measure by Italy, the present procedure has become without object and is hereby closed.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

of 16 February 2010
amending Directives 92/79/EEC, 92/80/EEC and 95/59/EC on the structure and rates of excise duty applied on manufactured tobacco and Directive 2008/118/EC
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Council Directive 92/79/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of taxes on cigarettes (3) and Article 4 of Council Directive 92/80/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of taxes on manufactured tobacco other than cigarettes (4), an in-depth review has been carried out of the rates and structure of excise duties on tobacco products. That review included provisions of Council Directive 95/59/EC of 27 November 1995 on taxes other than turnover taxes which affect the consumption of manufactured tobacco (5).
(2) In order to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market and, at the same time, a high level of health protection, as required by Article 168 of the Treaty, bearing in mind that serious harm to health can be caused by tobacco products and that the Union is Party to the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), various changes should be made to the Union’s fiscal legislation on tobacco products. These changes should take account of the situation prevailing for each of the various tobacco products.
(3) As regards cigarettes, the arrangements should be simplified so as to create neutral conditions of competition for manufacturers, to reduce the partitioning of the tobacco markets and to underscore health objectives. To this end, the concept of the most popular price category should be replaced; the price related minimum requirement should refer to the weighted average retail selling price, whereas the monetary minimum should be applicable to all cigarettes. For the same reasons, the weighted average retail selling price should also serve as a reference for measuring the importance of specific excise duty within the total tax burden.
(4) Without prejudice to the mixed tax structure and the maximum percentage of the specific component on the total tax burden, Member States should be given more effective means to levy specific or minimum excise duty on cigarettes, so as to ensure that at least a certain minimum amount of taxation applies throughout the Union.
(5) As regards fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes, the Union price related minimum requirement should be expressed in such a way as to obtain effects similar to those in the field of cigarettes and should take the weighted average retail selling price as the point of reference.
(6) The changes of prices and excise levels have been analysed, in particular, for cigarettes — by far the most important category of tobacco products — as well as for fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes. The analysis shows that there are still considerable differences between Member States which may disturb the operation of the internal market. Greater convergence between the tax levels applied in the Member States would help reduce fraud and smuggling within the Union.
(7) Greater convergence would also help to ensure a high level of human health protection. The level of taxation is indeed a major factor in the price of tobacco products, which in turn influences consumers’, smoking habits. Fraud and smuggling undermine tax induced price levels, in particular of cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes, and thus jeopardise the achievement of tobacco control and health protection objectives.
(8) In order to achieve greater convergence and to reduce consumption, the minimum levels of taxation in the Union for cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes should therefore be increased.
(9) It is necessary to bring the minimum levels for fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes closer to the minimum levels applicable to cigarettes, so as to better take account of the degree of competition existing between the two products, reflected in consumption patterns observed, as well as their equally harmful character.
(10) Transitional periods should allow Member States to adapt smoothly to the new levels of the overall excise duty, thus limiting possible side effects.
(11) In order to prevent damage to Corsica’s economic and social equilibrium it is both essential and justifiable to extend until 31 December 2015 the derogation by which France may apply a rate of excise duty that is lower than the national rate to cigarettes and other manufactured tobaccos released for consumption in Corsica. By that date the tax rules for manufactured tobaccos released for consumption there should be brought fully into line with the rules for mainland France. Nevertheless, too abrupt a change should be avoided and there should therefore be a stepwise increase in the excise duty currently levied on cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes in Corsica.
(12) In order to avoid distortion of competition and unacceptable diversions of trade and the resulting revenue loss for those Member States which apply high excise duties, both as an important source of revenue and for health reasons, it appears necessary to allow the latter to apply quantitative limits as regards cigarettes which may be brought into their territory without further payment of excise duties where those cigarettes are brought into their territory from Member States benefiting from transitional periods. It is appropriate to modulate such authorisation of restrictions taking into account the level which the general mandatory minimum level of taxation will have reached and the difficulties which Member States benefiting from a derogation may encounter from lower taxation in other Member States on their way to gradually aligning on the general mandatory minimum level.
(13) In order to avoid a fall in the value of the Union minimum levels of duty on cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobaccos other than fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes, it is necessary to increase the minimum levels expressed as a specific amount.
(14) In the interests of uniform and fair taxation, the definition of cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos and of other smoking tobacco should be adapted so that, respectively, rolls of tobacco which according to their length can be considered as two cigarettes or more are treated as two cigarettes or more for excise purposes; a type of cigar which is similar in many respects to a cigarette is treated as a cigarette for excise purposes; smoking tobacco which is similar in many respects to fine-cut tobacco intended for the rolling of cigarettes is treated as fine-cut tobacco for excise purposes; and tobacco refuse is clearly defined. In view of the economic difficulties that immediate implementation could cause for the German and Hungarian operators concerned, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Hungary should be authorised to postpone the implementation of the new definition of cigars and cigarillos until 1 January 2015.
(15) In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making (6), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Union, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public.
(16) Directives 92/79/EEC, 92/80/EEC, 95/59/EC and Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty (7) should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 92/79/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
2. Article 2a is replaced by the following:
3. Article 3(4) is replaced by the following:

amending Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products as concerns the authorisation of spinosad, potassium bicarbonate and copper octanoate and the use of ethylene
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1) and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, certain Member States have submitted information to the other Member States and the Commission in view of including certain products in Annex II to that Regulation.
(2) The Commission had invited an ad-hoc expert group to provide recommendations on the authorisation for use in organic farming of spinosad, potassium bicarbonate and copper octanoate and on the extension of the use of ethylene to the degreening of citrus and to sprouting inhibition in potatoes and onions, in the light of the principles governing organic farming.
(3) The expert group delivered a report to the Commission Services dated 22 and 23 January 2008 (2) which recommended authorising spinosad, potassium bicarbonate and copper octanoate under certain conditions and to extend the use of ethylene to the degreening of citrus and to sprouting inhibition in potatoes and onions under certain conditions. In the light of the report of this expert group, and the factors set out below, the Commission considers that certain products should be allowed in organic farming, and the use of ethylene should be extended.
(4) Spinosad is a new insecticide from microbial origin that is found to be essential for the control of some key-pests and contributes to the sustainability of the production system for other crop-pest situations. However, when using it, the risk to non-target organisms should be minimised.
(5) In relation to the inclusion of spinosad, it needs to be clarified that micro-organisms are generally allowed in organic farming for pest and disease control, while products produced by micro-organisms need to be listed individually.
(6) Potassium bicarbonate is found to be essential against various fungal diseases in a range of crops and may contribute to the reduction of the use of copper and sulphur in certain crop-pest combinations.
(7) Copper octanoate is a new formulation of copper that can be used for the same purpose as other copper compounds already included in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. The total amount of copper to be applied per season is lower when copper octanoate is used.
(8) Ethylene is already included in Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 as a substance of traditional use in organic farming. It has appeared appropriate to complete the conditions for use of that substance with two additional uses that are deemed to be essential: degreening of citrus fruits, when such a treatment is part of a strategy to prevent fruit fly damage, and sprouting inhibition of stored potatoes and onions.
(9) Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3), Article 14 and Article 30(5) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (3) lays down specifications for food additives including colours and sweeteners that are listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.
(3) Those lists may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.
(4) Applications for authorisation of the use of Anionic methacrylate copolymer and Neutral methacrylate copolymer as glazing agents in solid food supplements were submitted on 25 and 27 April 2009 and were made available to the Member States.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority evaluated the safety of Neutral methacrylate copolymer (4) and Anionic methacrylate copolymer (5) when used as food additives and concluded that their use in solid food supplements at the proposed use levels is not of a safety concern.
(6) There is a technological need for the use of Neutral methacrylate copolymer and Anionic methacrylate copolymer in solid food supplements. Neutral methacrylate copolymer is intended to be used as a sustained-release glazing agent. Sustained-release formulations allow the continuous dissolution of a nutrient over a defined time. Anionic methacrylate copolymer is intended to be used as a glazing agent to protect the stomach against irritating ingredients and/or to protect sensitive nutrients against disintegration by the gastric acid. It is therefore appropriate to authorise the use of both food additives in solid food supplements and to assign E 1206 as E-number to Neutral methacrylate copolymer and E 1207 as E-number to Anionic methacrylate copolymer.
(7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1129/2011 (6) authorised the use of Basic methacrylate copolymer (E 1205) in solid food supplements and Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 sets out the specifications for that food additive, including the maximum levels for arsenic, lead, mercury and copper. Those specifications should be updated to take into account the maximum levels for lead, mercury and cadmium in food supplements as set out in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 of 19 December 2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (7).
(8) Maximum level of arsenic in food supplements has not been set at the Union level. However, specific levels are laid down in the laws of Member States. Therefore, it is appropriate to update specifications of Basic methacrylate copolymer (E 1205) in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards arsenic to take into account the laws of Member States.
(9) Maximum level of copper in food supplements has not been set at the Union level and there is no indication of copper presence at toxicologically significant levels in Basic methacrylate copolymer (E 1205). It is therefore appropriate to delete copper from the purity section for Basic methacrylate copolymer (E 1205) in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012.
(10) Specifications should be adopted for Neutral methacrylate copolymer (E 1206) and Anionic methacrylate copolymer (E 1207). The purity criteria for arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium should follow the same approach as those for Basic methacrylate copolymer (E 1205) and the maximum levels should take into account that the commercial form of Neutral methacrylate copolymer (E 1206) and Anionic methacrylate copolymer (E 1207) is a 30 % dispersion of the dry substance in water.
(11) Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1181/98(2), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In November 2000, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea indicated that the stock of hake in ICES sub-areas III, IV, V, VI and VII and ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e is at serious risk of collapse.
(2) The majority of this stock of hake inhabits ICES sub-areas V, VI and VII and ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e.
(3) At the Council meeting of 14 and 15 December 2000, the Commission and the Council noted the urgent requirement to establish a recovery plan for this stock of hake.
(4) The immediate requirement is to reduce catches of juvenile hake by:
- establishing a general increase in the mesh size of towed nets used to catch hake to which end it is necessary to derogate from conditions regarding mesh sizes of towed gears laid down in Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 of 30 March 1998 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms(3) as last amended by Regulation 973/2001(4),
- establishing geographical areas in which juvenile hake occur in high abundance and specifying that fishing with towed nets may take place in these areas only if these nets are of high mesh size,
- establishing additional conditions to ensure that capture of juvenile hake by beam trawls is reduced.
(5) To provide information on catches of juvenile hake by some vessels targeting hake and by other vessels targeting Norway lobsters, observers should be placed on board vessels engaged in such activities, taking into account the level of fishing activity by each Member State fishing in the appropriate areas.
(6) Control measures additional to those laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2846/98(6), and specific control programmes defined according to Article 34c of the said Regulation are required to ensure compliance with the measures laid down in this Regulation.
(7) Further conservation measures affecting fishing for Nephrops, which involves significants by-catches of hake, may be proposed in the light of recent scientific advice from ICES and the results of trials of more selective fishing gear that are currently being conducted.
This Regulation shall apply to fishing vessels operating within ICES sub-areas V and VI and ICES divisions VII b, c, f, g, h, j, k and ICES divisions VIII a, b, d, e.
1. Notwithstanding the conditions laid down in Article 4(4) and Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 850/98, catches of hake (Merluccius merluccius) retained on board any vessel carrying any towed gear of mesh size 55 mm to 99 mm may not be in excess of 20 % of the weight of the total catch of marine organism retained on board.
2. The conditions of paragraph 1 shall not apply to any vessel of length less than 12 metres overall which returns to port within 24 hours of its most recent departure from port.
It shall be prohibited to use:
(a) except in ICES sub-areas V and VI, any cod-end and/or extension piece of any towed nets except beam trawls of mesh size greater than 55 mm which is not constructed of single-twine netting material of which no twine is of thickness greater than 6 mm or of double-twine netting material of which no twine is of thickness greater than 4 mm;
(b) any demersal towed net other than beam trawl incorporating a cod-end of mesh size range 70 mm to 89 mm having more than 120 meshes in any circumference of the said cod-end excluding the joinings and selvedges;
(c) any demersal towed net which includes any individual quadrilateral mesh of which the bars of the mesh are not of approximately equal length;
(d) any demersal towed net to which a cod-end of mesh size less than 100 mm is attached by any means other than being sewn into that part of the net anterior to the cod-end.
It shall be prohibited to carry on board or deploy any beam trawl of mesh size equal to or greater than 70 mm unless the entire upper half of the anterior part of such a net consists of a panel of netting material of which no individual mesh is of mesh size less than 180 mm attached:
- directly to the headline, or
- to no more than three rows of netting material of any mesh size attached directly to the headline.
The panel of netting shall extend towards the posterior of the net for at least the number of meshes determined by:
(a) dividing the length in metres of the beam of the net by 12;
(b) multiplying the result obtained in (a) by 5,400;
(c) dividing the result obtained in (b) by the mesh size, in millimetres, of the smallest mesh in the panel;
(d) ignoring any decimal or other fractions in the result obtained in (c).
1. For the purposes of paragraph 2, the following geographical areas are defined:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to 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 dangerous substances and preparations(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/2/EC of 6 January 2003 relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of arsenic (tenth adaptation to technical progress to Council Directive 76/769/EEC)(2) and in particular Article 2(a) thereof, introduced by Council Directive 89/678/EEC(3),
Whereas:
(1) Under Directive 76/769/EEC as amended by Directive 2002/61/EC of the European Parliament and the Council(4) specified azocolourants are not to be used in certain textiles and leather articles; nor may those textiles or leather articles be placed on the market unless they conform to the requirements in that directive.
(2) The risks to the health and environment of "blue colourant Index No 611-070-00-2" have been assessed under Commission Directive 93/67/EEC of 20 July 1993 laying down the principles for the assessment of risks to health and the environment of substances notified in accordance with Council Directive 67/548/EEC(5); the risk assessment identified a need for reducing risks of the blue colourant to the environment as this blue colourant has a high aquatic toxicity, is not easily degradable and reaches the environment via waste water.
(3) In order to protect the environment the placing on the market and the use of the blue colourant should be prohibited for colouring textile and leather articles. The blue colourant should therefore be added to those substances listed in Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC.
(4) The restrictions on the placing on the market and use of the blue colourant laid down by this Directive take into account the current state of knowledge and techniques regarding suitable alternatives.
(5) This Directive should apply without prejudice to Community legislation laying down minimum requirements for the protection of workers, in particular 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(6), and Council Directive 90/394/EEC of 28 June 1990 on the protection of workers from the risks related to carcinogens at work (Sixth individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)(7), as last amended by Directive 1999/38/EC(8).
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives on the removal of technical barriers to trade in dangerous substances and preparations,
Annex I to Directive 76/769/EEC is hereby adapted to technical progress as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 2003 at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. They shall apply these provisions as from 30 June 2004.
When Member States adopt those provisions, these 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.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 85/73/EEC laid down the necessary detailed rules to ensure the financing of veterinary controls of fresh meat;

The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the areas of the Land Rheinland-Pfalz concerned by Objective 2 in Germany, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:
(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Germany;
the main priorities are:
1. improvement of the economic structure;
2. qualification;
(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;
(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:

For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 23,456 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 25,1 million for the public sector and ECU 0,5 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
- ERDF:ECU 15,246 million,
- ESF:ECU 8,210 million.
2. The budgetary commitments at the moment of approval of the Single Programming Document refer to the total Community assistance.

This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measures listed for that purpose in the Single Programming Document. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 10 January 1979, the Belgian Government requested the Commission to initiate the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Canberra-Scorpio 2000 MCA System", intended for use in nuclear research and, in particular, for the acquisition, display and analyses of multichannel data, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 18 June 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question consists of a console and import data processing unit and a graphic unit ; whereas it does not possess the requisite objective characteristics which make it specially suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, it is an apparatus which is currently in use in the commercial sector ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus;
Whereas Commission Decision 78/294/EEC excluding from admission free of Common Customs Tariff duties the scientific apparatus described as "Scorpio System 3000 multi-unibus disk-based multichannel analyzing computer system" (3) lays down in Article 1 that the apparatus must be considered to be a scientific apparatus ; whereas, taking into account the technical developments for this category of apparatus, the apparatus in question can no longer be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Canberra-Scorpio 2000 MCA System" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
Commission Decision 78/294/EEC excluding from admission free of Common Customs Tariff duties the scientific apparatus described as "Scorpio System 3000 multi-unibus disk-based multichannel analyzing computer system" is hereby abolished.

Whereas, with a view to securing uniformity of treatment, a method for establishing the dry matter content of isoglucose in trade should be determined;
Whereas under Regulation (EEC) No 1111/77 export refunds are not granted for isoglucose in the form of processed products ; whereas isoglucose and mixtures of isoglucose with other types of sugar constitute products which are relatively new and hitherto found only in small quantities on the world market ; whereas the market in these products is likely to expand appreciably in the future ; whereas, in the first instance, without prejudice to appropriate measures to be taken at a later date, the product should be defined by reference to its content of fructose, polysaccharides and other types of sugar, so that the refund may be granted only for the true product in the natural state;
Whereas the export refund in respect of glucose and sucrose syrups is fixed every month and may be fixed in advance ; whereas the same rules should be laid down in respect of refunds for isoglucose;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Isoglucose,
For the purposes of Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1111/77, the dry matter content of isoglucose shall be determined according to the density of the solution, diluted in the proportion by weight of 1 to 1, or, in the case of products having a very high consistency, by drying.
The fixed component referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1111/77 shall be equal to that used for fixing the import levy on products falling within subheading 17.02 B II a) of the Common Customs Tariff.
The refund provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1111/77 shall be granted only in respect of products: - which are obtained by isomerization of glucose, and
- which have a content by weight in the dry state of at least 41 % fructose, and
- of which the total content by weight in the dry state of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, including the di- or trisaccharides content, does not exceed 85 %. (1)OJ No L 134, 28.5.1977, p. 4. (2)OJ No L 25, 31.1.1975, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 359, 30.12.1976, p. 23.
The refund referred to in Article 3 shall be fixed monthly.
The amount of the refund applicable on the day on which the application for the export licence is lodged shall, at the request of the applicant, submitted at the same time as the licence application, apply to an export operation carried out at any time during the period of validity of the licence.
A further indent as follows is added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 192/75:
"- Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1111/77 (isoglucose)".
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1977.

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 subparagraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1972/2003 of 10 November 2003 on transitional measures to be adopted in respect of trade in agricultural products on account of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (1), the Polish authorities have informed the Commission that they intend to sell a maximum quantity of 300 000 tonnes of wheat from national security stocks as part of a rotation procedure.
(2) The sale of such a large quantity of wheat is liable to disturb the Community market in cereals. Transitional measures should therefore be taken to lay down conditions for sale similar to those provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2) to ensure that operators are treated equally and market conditions respected.
(3) Since any restocking operation could also disturb the Community market, a procedure should be introduced allowing the Commission to approve the restocking arrangements.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
This Regulation lays down transitional rules for the sale of a maximum quantity of 300 000 tonnes of wheat from the national security stocks held by the Polish authorities on 1 May 2004 and any subsequent restocking operations.
The agency responsible for managing the Polish security stocks, details of which are set out in the Annex hereto, shall sell the quantity of wheat referred to in Article 1 on the Community market by standing invitation to tender until 31 August 2004.
For the purposes of this Regulation, selling by tender means offering for sale by inviting tenders, the contract being awarded to the person tendering the best price and observing the requirements of this Regulation.
The agency referred to in the first paragraph of Article 2 shall publish a notice of invitation to tender at least three days before the closing date of the first period for submission of tenders.
The invitation shall indicate in particular:
a) the tendering periods for each partial tendering procedure and the address for submission of tenders;
b) the minimum quantities which tenders may cover;
c) the securities to be lodged and the terms of their release;
d) the main physical and technical characteristics of the various lots;
e) the places of storage and the name and address of the storer;
f) the payment terms.
The closing date for submission of tenders for the first partial tendering procedure shall be the fifth working day after the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Successful tenders must quote a price at least equal to the price recorded for an equivalent quality and for a representative quantity on the market at the place of storage or, failing that, on the nearest market, account being taken of transport costs. It may not be less than EUR 108,76 per tonne.
The agency referred to in the first paragraph of Article 2 shall take all measures necessary to enable interested parties to assess the quality of cereals put up for sale before submitting their tenders.
The agency referred to in the first paragraph of Article 2 shall immediately inform all tenderers of the outcome of their participation in the tendering procedure.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1991/92 of 13 July 1992 establishing a special scheme for raspberries intended for processing (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2252/92 (2) lays down detailed rules for the submission and approval of draft programmes drawn up by producers' organizations; whereas those rules make implementation of the programme subject to approval of that programme by the competent national authority; whereas, given that the grubbing-up of plants followed by replanting can only be carried out at certain times of year, that requirement may lead to a considerable delay in implementation of the programme; whereas, therefore, it should be laid down that grubbing up followed by replanting may be commenced before the programme is approved where authorized by the competent national authority; whereas it should be laid down that authorization is to be given without prejudice to the approval of procedures of the programme and the control laid down in the said Article;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

89/ 258/EEC: Commission Decision of 21 March 1989 concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of hydraulic excavators originating in Japan (Oswald de Bruycker NV) (Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic)
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 21 March 1989 concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of hydraulic excavators originating in Japan (Oswald de Bruycker NV) (Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic) (89/ 258/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1)
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1877/85 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain hydraulic excavators exceeding six tonnes but not exceeding 35 tonnes originating in Japan. The rate of duty applied to Kobelco-Kobesteel Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Kobelco) was 31,9 %.
(2)
Between November 1985 and July 1987 Oswald de Bruycker NV, Ostend, an independent importer, made five applications for the refund of definitive anti-dumping duties paid on the importation of
10 hydraulic excavators manufactured and exported
by Kobelco. The total amount requested was Bfrs . . . (3). The applications were sent to the Belgian customs authorities and forwarded to the Commission. For each application, the applicant was asked to provide the information needed to calculate the normal value of the products for the six months preceding each importation, as laid down in point I.B (a) of the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (4).
(3)
The Commission asked the applicant for additional information, which was supplied within the time limit set. The Commission also visited Kobelco's premises
in Japan to check the information on normal value which Kobelco had sent to the Commission at the request of the applicant.
(4)
The applicant was informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment.
(5)
The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. No Member State raised any objection.
B. ARGUMENT OF THE APPLICANT
(6)
Essentially, the applicant argued that the export price paid was significantly higher than the normal value.
C. ADMISSIBILITY
(7)
The applications are admissible in that they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular with regard to time limits.
D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM
(8)
The applications are founded in part. Pursuant
to Article 16 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 2176/84 (5) (and under Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88) an importer who has paid anti-dumping duties and who applies for reimbursement must show that the duty collected exceeds the dumping margin calculated over the relevant reference period for the imports for which the duty was collected. Calculation of the actual dumping margin must normally be based on the same method as that applied during the original investigation, in particular with regard to any application of weighted averages (6).
(9)
In this case an average dumping margin applied without distinction to all the models released for free circulation in the Community during a single reference period was established by comparing the normal value of each model on a monthly weighted average basis with the export price of the same model during the corresponding month on a transaction-by-transaction basis (7).
The Commission considered that the information supplied by the applicant regarding export prices and by the exporter regarding the normal value of the different models was sufficient to calculate correctly the average actual dumping margin. A dumping margin was thus calculated for each reference period corresponding to an application, whereby the average normal value of each model was compared on a transaction-by-transaction basis with the export price for each of Kobelco's consignments released for free circulation in the Community during the reference period in question.
It was found that in all the reference periods except the first the initial dumping margin had been gradually reduced or eliminated, resulting in an average actual dumping margin below the amount of duty collected. This development was due essentially to a rise in export prices, which was not sufficient, however, to eliminate the dumping entirely in every case.
E. AMOUNT TO BE REIMBURSED
(10)
A total of Bfrs . . . is reimbursable to Oswald de Bruycker NV, representing the difference between the amount of duty collected and the actual dumping margin,
The refund applications submitted by Oswald de Bruycker NV are hereby granted for Bfrs . . . and rejected for the remainder.
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the Belgian authorities.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium and Oswald de Bruycker NV, Archimedesstraat 53, B-8400 Ostend.

Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 504/97 of 19 March 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards the system of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1607/1999(4), lays down the dates of the marketing years.
(2) The criteria for fixing the minimum price and the amount of the production aid are laid down in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 respectively.
(3) The products for which the minimum price and the aid are fixed are listed in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 464/1999 of 3 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as regards aid arrangements for prunes(5). Article 2 of that Regulation lays down the characteristics that these products must possess. The minimum price and the production aid should therefore be fixed for the 2000/01 marketing year.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 2000/01 marketing year:
(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be EUR 193,523 per 100 kg net from the producer for dried plums derived from prunes d'Ente;
(b) the production aid referred to in Article 4 of that Regulation shall be EUR 68,389 per 100 kg net for prunes.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/93 of 20 July 1993 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas national and Community rules are at the heart of a strengthening of the conditions controlling access to fish resources, in particular by the introduction of systems of fishing licences and permits; whereas those new restrictions on access are having the effect of increasing the scrapping value of vessels, in particular those more than 30 years old; whereas this increase in value has made withdrawals of those fishing vessels more difficult to guarantee than in the past;
Whereas the current system of premiums for scrapping a vessel and for setting up joint enterprises provides for a constant reduction of 1,5 % per year in premiums for vessels more than 15 years old; whereas experience has shown that that year-by-year reduction in premiums has made them insufficient to guarantee the withdrawal of the oldest of the vessels;
Whereas provision should be made to ensure that preference is given to the withdrawal from the fleet of the oldest of the vessels; whereas the premiums should therefore be maintained at a sufficiently high level to guarantee the withdrawal of that category of vessels;
Whereas financial aid for FIFG in the case of temporary cessation of activities, taking account of this type of intervention, must remain an exceptional measure; whereas it is therefore advisable to set a ceiling on the funds allocated to this measure, without prejudice to possible appeals, on a case-by-case basis, against the specific measures referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2080/93,
Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 (5) is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 14, the following paragraph is added:
'This grant cannot exceed, for each calendar year and for each Member State, ECU 350 000 or 0,85 % of the funds foreseen in the financial plan for each Member State for the year concerned, whichever amount is the greater.`
2. In the last indent of Annex IV, point 1.1 (a) the following phrase is hereby added:
', and up to 30 years old, the age beyond which premiums are limited to the amount for vessels 30 years old.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1834/2002
of 15 October 2002
on the sale by tender of beef held by certain intervention agencies and intended for processing within the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(2), and in particular Article 28(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The application of intervention measures in respect of beef has created stocks in several Member States. In order to prevent an excessive prolongation of storage, part of these stocks should be sold by tender for processing in the Community.
(2) The sale should be made subject to the rules laid down by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2173/79(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95(4), (EEC) No 3002/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 770/96(6), and (EEC) No 2182/77(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95, subject to certain special exceptions on account of the particular use to which the products in question are to be put.
(3) With a view to ensuring a regular and uniform tendering procedure, measures should be taken in addition to those laid down in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79.
(4) Provision should be made for derogations from Article 8(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, in view of the administrative difficulties which application of this point creates in the Member States concerned.
(5) In order to ensure optimum monitoring of the destination of beef from intervention stocks, control measures should be taken, in addition to the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92, which are based on physical inspection of quantities and qualities.
(6) In order to ensure a proper functioning of the tender arrangements it is necessary to provide for a higher amount of security than the one fixed in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

2. Interested parties may obtain the details of the quantities available and the places where the products are stored from the addresses listed in Annex II to this Regulation. The intervention agencies shall, in addition, display the notice referred to in paragraph 1 at their head offices and may publish it in other ways.
3. For each product mentioned in Annex I the intervention agencies concerned shall sell first the meat which has been stored the longest. However, Member States may in exceptional cases and after having obtained authorisation from the Commission derogate from that obligation.
4. Only tenders which reach the intervention agencies concerned by 12 noon on 22 October 2002 shall be considered.
5. Notwithstanding Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, a tender must be submitted to the intervention agency concerned in a closed envelope, bearing the reference to the Regulation concerned. The closed envelope must not be opened by the intervention agency before the expiry of the tender deadline referred to in paragraph 4.
6. Notwithstanding Article 8(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, tenders shall not indicate in which cold store or stores the products are held.
1. Member States shall provide the Commission with information concerning the tenders received not later than on the working day following the deadline set for the submission of tenders.
2. After the tenders received have been examined a minimum selling price shall be set for each product or the sale will not proceed.
1. A tender shall be valid only if presented by or on behalf of a natural or legal person who, for the 12 months prior to the entry into force of this Regulation, has been engaged in the processing of products containing beef and who is entered in a national VAT register. In addition, tenders must be presented by or on behalf of a processing establishment approved in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 77/99/EEC(8).
For the purposes of the preceding subparagraph, a retail or catering establishment or an establishment attached to a retail sales outlet where meat is processed and put up for sale to the final consumer shall not be taken into consideration.

1. Meat purchased in accordance with this Regulation shall be processed into products which comply with the definitions for A products and B products set out in paragraphs 2 and 3 below.
2. An A product means a processed product falling within CN code 1602 10, 1602 50 31, 1602 50 39 or 1602 50 80, not containing meat other than that of animals of the bovine species, with a collagen/protein ratio of no more than 0,45 %(9) and containing by weight at least 20 %(10) of lean meat excluding offal(11) and fat with meat and jelly accounting for at least 85 % of the total net weight.
The product must be subjected to a heat treatment sufficient to ensure the coagulation of meat proteins in the whole of the product, which may not therefore show any traces of a pinkish liquid on the cut surface when the product is cut along a line passing through its thickest part.
3. A B product means a processed product containing beef, other than:
- one specified in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, or
- one referred to in paragraph 2.
However, a processed product falling within CN code 0210 20 90 which has been dried or smoked so that the colour and consistency of the fresh meat has totally disappeared and with a water/protein ratio not exceeding 3,2 shall be considered to be a B product.
1. Member States shall set up a system of physical and documentary supervision to ensure that all meat is processed in accordance with Article 5.
The system must include physical checks of quantity and quality at the start of the processing, during the processing and after the processing operation is completed. To this end, processors shall at any time be able to demonstrate the identity and use of the meat through appropriate production records.
Technical verification of the production method by the competent authority may, to the extent necessary, make allowance for drip losses and trimmings.
In order to verify the quality of the finished product and establish its conformity with the processor's recipe Member States shall undertake representative sampling and analysis of the product. The costs of such operations shall be borne by the processor concerned.
2. Member States may, at the request of the processor, authorise the boning of bone-in forequarters in an establishment other than that provided for in respect of processing provided the relevant operations take place in the same Member State under appropriate supervision.
3. Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77 shall not apply.
1. Notwithstanding Article 15(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, the security shall be EUR 12 per 100 kilograms.

- for forequarters the difference in EUR between the tender price per tonne and EUR 1600,
- for boneless beef of intervention codes INT 22 and INT 24 the difference in EUR between the tender price per tonne and EUR 1800,
- for boneless beef of intervention codes INT 11, INT 18, INT 21 and INT 23 the difference in EUR between the tender price per tonne and EUR 1400.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77, the processing of all beef purchased into finished products as referred to in Article 5 shall constitute a principal requirement.

amending Decision 94/360/EC on the reduced frequency of physical checks of consignments of certain products to be imported from third countries, under Council Directive 90/675/EEC
(notified under document number C(2002) 1121)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/237/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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(1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 97/78/EC repealed and replaced Directive 90/675/EEC(2), under which Commission Decision 94/360/EC(3) was drawn up.
(2) Following the discovery earlier of traces of growth-promoting xenobiotic hormones in meat imported from the United States of America, Commission Decision 1999/302/EC(4) amended Decision 94/360/EC to put in place an enhanced system of controls on all imports of fresh bovine meat and offal, excluding bison meat and offal, imported from that country.
(3) After the discovery of these residue findings, the authorities in the United States of America reinforced their hormone-free cattle programme in June 1999. In the face of further difficulties with this programme, identified in the course of a mission to the United States of America by the Commission's Food and Veterinary Office, the programme was suspended in July 1999 and relaunched in September 1999, in an enhanced form as the non-hormone-treated cattle programme.
(4) Commission Decision 1999/518/EC(5) further amended the inspection measures at Community border inspection posts to include specific testing for stilbenes following the detection by the competent authorities of Switzerland of diethylstilboestrol (DES) in beef meat imported from the United States.
(5) In the light of the favourable results under the testing programme, in September 2000 Commission Decision 2000/583/EC(6) reduced the frequency of checks on fresh meat imported from the United States of America from checks on all consignments to checks on 20 % of consignments, and removed the obligation on Member States to only allow the entry into their territory of consignments for which the results of examination and analyses were favourable.
(6) This Decision was a first step towards phasing out completely the obligation to test for hormones each consignment selected for physical checks, and the Decision was subject to review in the light of future test results in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 1999/302/EC.
(7) The additional controls put in place by Decision 1999/302/EC and Decision 1999/518/EC and the testing carried out under the European Community additional testing programme for hormones, have not resulted in any positive samples of fresh bovine meat and offal being identified during the intervening period.
(8) It is therefore appropriate to repeal the requirement for 20 % of consignments of meat imported from the United States of America to be tested for the possible presence of hormones, and in respect of laboratory tests to treat such imports on the same basis as imports of meat from other third countries.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 94/360/EC is amended as follows:
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 518/2006
of 30 March 2006
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported in the natural 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)(d) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 3 of 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), provides that the export refund on 100 kilograms of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 is equal to the basic amount multiplied by the sucrose content, including, where appropriate, other sugars expressed as sucrose; the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.
(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.
(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.
(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.
(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) 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.
(9) 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 in nature.
(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.
(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed 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)(d), (f), (g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 March 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
