COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1215/2008
of 5 December 2008
on opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for malting barley from third countries and derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007
(Codified version)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144(1), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2006/333/EC of 20 March 2006 on the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic in the course of their accession to the European Union (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2007/444/EC of 22 February 2007 on the conclusion of an Agreement between the European Community and the Government of Canada on the conclusion of GATT Article XXIV:6 Negotiations (3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2377/2002 of 27 December 2002 opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for malting barley from third countries and derogating from Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (4) has been substantially amended several times (5). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) Following trade negotiations, the Community has changed the conditions for the import of common wheat of low and medium quality and of barley by creating import quotas. For barley, the Community has decided to replace the ‘margin of preference’ system by two tariff quotas: one tariff quota of 50 000 tonnes for malting barley and one tariff quota of 300 000 for barley. This Regulation concerns the tariff quota of 50 000 tonnes of malting barley.
(3) Under the Community’s international commitments, malting barley for import must be intended for use in the manufacture of beer aged in vats containing beechwood. In this respect, provisions should be adopted relating to the quality criteria for barley and to processing requirements similar to those of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1234/2001 of 22 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 822/2001 and providing for the partial reimbursement of import duties levied on a quota of barley for malting (6).
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (7) applies to import licences for tariff quota periods starting from 1 January 2007.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 applies without prejudice to additional conditions or derogations which might be laid down by this Regulation.
(6) To ensure that imports of the barley covered by this tariff quota are orderly and not speculative, they should be made subject to the issue of import licences.
(7) To ensure the proper management of this quota, deadlines for the lodging of licence applications should be laid down and the information to be included in applications and licences should be specified.
(8) To take account of supply conditions, a derogation should be made concerning the period of validity of the licences.
(9) Taking account of the obligation to apply a high level of guarantee to ensure sound management of the quota and that this guarantee would have to be in place during all the processing period, it is appropriate to exempt importers whose consignments of malting barley are accompanied by a certificate of conformity agreed with the government of the United States of America according to the administrative cooperation procedure provided for in Articles 63, 64 and 65 of 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 (8).
(10) To ensure sound management of this quota, the security on the import licences should be set at a relatively high level, notwithstanding Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (9).
(11) Rapid two-way communication should be established between the Commission and the Member States regarding the quantities applied for and imported.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Notwithstanding Article 135 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the import duty for malting barley falling within CN code 1003 00 shall be fixed in the framework of the quota opened by this Regulation.
35 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall apply to imports of the products referred to in this Regulation, in excess of the quantity provided for in Article 2 of this Regulation.
1. A tariff import quota of 50 000 tonnes of malting barley falling within CN code 1003 00 to be used in the manufacture of beer aged in beechwood vats is hereby opened on 1 January each year. It carries the serial number 09.4061.
2. Duties on imports within the tariff quota shall be levied at a rate of EUR 8 per tonne.
3. Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (10) and Regulations (EC) No 1342/2003 and (EC) No 1301/2006 shall apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
For the purposes of applying this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘damaged grains’ means grains of barley, other cereals or wild oats that display damage, including deterioration caused by disease, frost, heat, insects or fungus, bad weather and all other forms of physical damage;
(b) ‘sound and fair merchantable barley’ means barley grains or pieces of grains that are not damaged as defined in point (a), except grains damaged by frost or fungus.
1. The benefit of the tariff quota shall be granted provided the imported barley meets the following criteria:
(a) specific weight: minimum 60,5 kg/hl;
(b) damaged grains: maximum 1 %;
(c) moisture: maximum 13,5 %;
(d) sound and fair merchantable barley: minimum 96 %.
2. Compliance with the quality criteria set out in paragraph 1 shall be certified by one of the following documents:
(a) a certificate of analysis carried out at the importer’s request by the customs office of release for free circulation; or
(b) a certificate of conformity for the imported barley issued by a government authority of the country of origin and recognised by the Commission.
1. The benefit of access to this quota shall be granted provided the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) the imported barley must be malted within six months from the date of release for free circulation;
(b) the resulting malt must be used in the manufacture of beer aged in vats containing beechwood within no more than 150 days following the date on which the barley is processed into malt.
2. Applications for import licences under the tariff quota shall be accepted only if they are accompanied by:
(a) the proof or proofs provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006;
(b) proof that the applicant has lodged a security of EUR 85 per tonne with the competent authority of the Member State of release for free circulation. In case the malting barley consignments are accompanied by a certificate of conformity issued by the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) as referred to in Article 7, the security shall be reduced to EUR 10 per tonne;
(c) a written undertaking by the applicant that all the imported goods will be processed, within six months from the date of acceptance of entry for free circulation, into malt for use in the manufacture of beer aged in vats containing beechwood within 150 days following the date on which the barley was processed into malt. He shall specify the processing location by stating either a processing firm and Member State or a maximum of five processing plants. Before the goods are consigned for processing a control copy T5 shall be made out of the office of customs clearance in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The information required in the first sentence of this point (c) and the name and location of the processing plant shall be given in Box 104 of the T5.
3. Processing of the imported barley into malt shall be deemed to have taken place when the malting barley has undergone steeping. The use of the malt to manufacture beer aged in vats containing beechwood within no more than 150 days following the date on which the barley is processed into malt shall be subject to verification by the competent authority.
1. The security provided for in Article 5(2)(b) shall be released provided the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) the quality of the barley, established on the basis of the certificate of conformity or analysis certificate, meets the criteria laid down in Article 4(1);
(b) the certificate applicant provides proof of the specific final use referred to in Article 5(1), certifying that this use has taken place within the time limit provided for in the written undertaking referred to in Article 5(2)(c). That proof, possibly in the form of the T5 control copy, must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State of importation that all the quantities imported have been processed into the product referred in Article 5(2)(c).
2. Where the quality criteria and/or the conditions relating to processing set out in Articles 4 and 5 of this Regulation are not fulfilled, the security for import licences referred to in Article 12(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 and the additional security referred to in Article 5(2)(b) of this Regulation shall be forfeited.
A blank specimen of the certificates to be issued by the FGIS is given in Annex I. Certificates issued by the FGIS for malting barley destined to be used in the manufacture of beer aged in vats containing beechwood shall be officially recognised by the Commission under the administrative cooperation procedure as provided for in Articles 63, 64 and 65 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. When the analytical parameters entered in the certificate of conformity issued by FGIS show conformity with the malting barley quality standards established in Article 4 of this Regulation samples shall be taken of at least 3 % of the cargoes arriving at each entry port during the marketing year. Reproduction of the stamp and signatures authorised by the Government of the United States of America shall be published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union.
1. Notwithstanding Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, applicants may not submit more than one licence application per month. Where applicants lodge more than one application, none of those applications shall be admissible and the securities lodged when the applications were submitted shall be forfeited to the Member State concerned.
Import licence applications shall be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States no later than the second Friday of each month at 13.00 (Brussels time).

COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 September 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/648/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 26 February 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, Model 560', ordered on 4 February 1980 and to be used for the preparatory photochemical studies in the infrared range and in particular for the control of the radiation source, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 July 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a laser;
Whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the emission field, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'Serie 6000' manufactured by Fairlight Technische en Wetenschappelijke Apparaten BV, Jan Luykenstraat 23, NL-1007 AA Amsterdam,
The apparatus described as 'Apollo - Tunable CO2 Laser, model 560', which is subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 26 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3927/92 of 20 December 1992 laying down certain conservation and management measures for fishery resources in the Regulatory Area as defined in the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North West Atlantic Fisheries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) N° 3760/92, it is for the Council to draw up, in the light of the available scientific advice, the conservation measures necessary to achieve the aims set out in Article 1 of the said Regulation;
Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations' Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains prinicples and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources within the exclusive economic zones of the coastal States and in the high seas;
Whereas the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North West Atlantic Fisheries, hereinafter referred to as the NAFO Convention, was approved by the Council in Regulation (EEC) N° 3179/78 (2) and entered into force on 1 January 1979; whereas the Regulatory Area as defined consists of that part of the Convention Area which lies beyond the areas in which coastal States exercise fisheries jurisdiction;
Whereas the NAFO Convention establishes a suitable framework for the rational conservation and management of the fishery resources of the Regulatory Area with a view to achieving the optimum utilization thereof; whereas, to this end, the Contracting Parties undertake to carry out joint measures;
Whereas, in the light of the available scientific advice, the catches of certain species in certain parts of the Regulatory Area should be limited and whereas, in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) N° 3760/92, it falls to the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by stock or group of stocks, the share available for the Community and the specific conditions under which catches must be made and to allocate the share available to the Community among the Member States;
Whereas, in order to ensure the conservation of fishery resources and their balanced exploitation, technical conservation measures must be defined, inter alia for mesh sizes, the level of by-catches and authorized fish sizes;
Whereas to enable controls to be carried out on catches from the Regulatory Area while supplementing the monitoring measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) N° 2241/87 (3) certain specific control measures are to be defined, inter alia, for the declaration of catches, the communication of information, the holding of non-authorized nets and information and assistance relating to the storage and processing of catches,
Scope 1. This Regulation shall apply to Community fishermen who take and retain on board fish from resources of the Regulatory Area and shall operate in furtherance of the objectives and principles of the NAFO Convention.
2. With a view to ensuring through the joint action of the Contracting Parties the rational conservation and management of the fishery resources of the Regulatory Area for the purpose of achieving the optimum utilization thereof, this Regulation lays down:
- limits on catches,
- technical conservation measures,
- international control measures,
- provisions relating to the processing and transmission of certain scientific and statistical data.
Community participation 1. Member States shall forward to the Commission a list of all vessels registered in their ports or flying their flag which intend to take part in the fishing activities in the Regulatory Area at least 30 days before the intended commencement of such activity or, as the case may be, not later than the 20th day following the date of entry into force of this Regulation. The information forwarded shall include:
(a) name of vessel;
(b) official registration number of the vessel assigned by the competent national authorities;
(c) home port of the vessel;
(d) name of owner or charterer of the vessel;
(e) a declaration that the master has been provided with a copy of the regulations in force in the Regulatory Area;
(f) the principal species fished by the vessel in the Regulatory Area;
(g) the sub-areas where the vessel may be expected to fish.
Limits on catches Catches in 1993 of the species set out in Annex I hereto by fishing vessels registered in the ports of Member States or flying their flag shall be limited, within the divisions of the Regulatory Area referred to in that Annex, to the quotas set out therein.
Technical measures 1. Mesh sizes The use of trawl net having in any section thereof net meshes of dimensions less than 130 mm shall be prohibited for direct fishing of the species referred to in Annex II hereto. This mesh size shall be reduced to 60 mm for direct fishing of short-finned squid.
However, up to 1 June 1994, the use of a trawl net or such section of any trawl net as is made of hemp, polyamide fibres or polyester fibres with a minimum mesh size of 120 mm shall be authorized for the fishing of the species listed in Annex II.
2. Attachments to nets The use of any means or device other than those described in this paragraph which obstructs the meshes of a net or which diminishes their size shall be prohibited.
Canvas, netting or any other material may be attached to the underside of the cod-end in order to reduce or prevent damage.
Devices may be attached to the upper side of the cod-end provided that they do not obstruct the meshes of the cod-end. The use of top-side chafers shall be limited to those mentioned in Annex III hereto.
3. By-catches By-catches of the species listed in Annex I for which no quotas have been fixed by the Community for a part of the Regulatory Area and taken in that part when fishing directly for:
- one or more of the species listed in Annex I, or - one or more of species other than those listed in Annex I,
may not exceed for each species on board 2 500 kg or 10 % by weight of all fish on board, whichever is the greater. However, in a part of the Regulatory Area where directed fishing of certain species is banned, by-catches of each of the species listed in Annex I may not exceed 1 250 kg or 5 % respectively.
4. Minimum size of fish Fish from the Regulatory Area which do not have the size required as set out in Annex IV may not be retained on board or be transhipped, landed, transported, stored, sold, displayed or offered for sale, but shall be returned immediately to the sea. Where the quantity of caught fish not having the required size exceeds in certain fishing waters 10 % of the total quantity, the vessel must move away to a distance of at least five nautical miles before continuing fishing.
Control measures 1. In addition to complying with Articles 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) N° 2241/87, masters of vessels shall enter in the logbook the information listed in Annex V hereto.
In complying with Article 9 of the said Regulation, Member States shall also inform the Commission of catches of species not subject to quota.
2. When fishing directly for one or more of the species listed in Annex II, vessels may not carry nets the mesh size of which is smaller than that laid down in Article 4 (1). However, vessels fishing in the course of the same voyage in areas other than the Regulatory Area may keep such nets on board provided these nets are securely lashed and stowed and are not available for immediate use, that is to say:
(a) nets shall be unshackled from their boards and their hauling or trawling cables and ropes;
(b) nets carried on or above the deck must be lashed securely to a part of the superstructure.
3. The masters of fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State or registered in one of its ports shall, in respect of catches of the species listed in Annex I, keep:
(a) a logbook stating, by species and by processed product, the aggregate output; or (b) a storage plan, by species, of products processed, indicating where they are located in the hold.
Masters of vessels must provide the necessary assistance to enable the quantities declared in the logbook and the processes products stored on board to be verified.
Statistical and scientific data 1. In order to secure advice on localized and seasonal concentrations of juvenile American plaice and yellowtail flounder in division 3LNO of the Regulatory Area:
(a) Member States shall provide, based upon the relevant entries in the logbook, as provided for by Article 5 (1), nominal catch and discard statistics, broken down by unit areas no larger than 1° latitude and 1° longitude, summarized on a monthly basis;
(b) length sampling shall be provided for both nominal catches and discards, with a sampling intensity on the same scale as adopted in (a) and summarized on a monthly basis.
2. In order to assess the effects of cod by-catches in the redfish and flatfish fisheries on the Flemish Cap:
(a) Member States shall supply, based upon the relevant entries in the logbook as provided for by Article 5 (1), statistics on discards of cod taken in the redfish and flatfish fisheries in the above area, in addition the normal reports, summarized on a monthly basis;
(b) length sampling of cod taken in the redfish and flatfish fisheries in the above area, shall be provided for the two components separately, with depth information accompanying each sample, summarized on a monthly basis.
3. Length samples shall be taken from all parts of the respective catch of each species concerned in such a manner that at least one statistically significant sample is taken from the first haul taken each day. The size of a fish shall be measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail fin.
For the purposes set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, length samples taken as described in this Regulation shall be deemed to be representative of all catches of the species concerned.
General provisions Regulations (EEC) N° 2622/79 (1) and (EEC) N° 320/90 (2) are hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1993.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 222/2011 of 3 March 2011 laying down exceptional measures as regards the release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market at reduced surplus levy during marketing year 2010/2011

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 222/2011
of 3 March 2011
laying down exceptional measures as regards the release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market at reduced surplus levy during marketing year 2010/2011
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1) and in particular Article 64(2) and Article 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The world market prices for sugar have been at a constant high level since the beginning of the 2010/2011 marketing year. Forecasts of world market prices based on the New York's sugar futures exchange market for the terms of March, May and July 2011 further indicate a constant high world market price.
(2) The cumulated negative difference between availability and utilisation of sugar and isoglucose over the last two marketing years is estimated at 1,0 million tonnes, and would result in the lowest level of ending stocks in the EU since the implementation of the 2006 reform of the sugar sector. Any further shortfall of imports threatens to seriously disrupt the availability of supply on the Union sugar market and to further deteriorate in the absence of measures for the sector.
(3) Exports from African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to the European Union are not expected to increase in the short run.
(4) On the other hand, a good harvest in some parts of the Union has led to the production of sugar in excess of the quota set out in Article 56 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Part of this sugar should be made available to the sugar market of the Union in order to partially satisfy demand and to avoid excessive price increases. The available quantity of sugar in excess of the quota is estimated at 0,5 million tonnes. This estimate takes into account contractual commitments of sugar producers in respect of certain industrial uses provided for in Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and the quantities for which export licences have already been issued.
(5) Article 64(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 empowers the Commission to fix the surplus levy on sugar and isoglucose produced in excess of the quota at a sufficiently high level in order to avoid the accumulation of surplus quantities. Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards sugar production in excess of the quota (2) has fixed that levy at EUR 500 per tonne.
(6) The extraordinarily low supply of sugar on the internal market in the 2010/2011 marketing year may allow the Commission to exceptionally fix the surplus levy at zero for a limited quantity of sugar produced in excess of the quota, without any risk of accumulation of quantities.
(7) As Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 fixes quotas for both sugar and isoglucose, a similar measure should apply for an appropriate quantity of isoglucose produced in excess of the quota because the latter product is, to some extent, a commercial substitute for sugar. In order to preserve the balance between the two sweeteners, the appropriate quantity of out of quota isoglucose to be released on the internal market should be established on the basis of the relation of the quotas for each of the two products fixed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(8) Sugar and isoglucose producers should apply to the competent authorities of the Member States for certificates allowing them to sell certain quantities, produced above the quota limit, on the Union market.
(9) Fixing upper limits of the quantities for which each producer can apply in one application period and restricting the certificates to products of the applicant's own available production, should prevent speculative actions within the system created by this Regulation.
(10) Applications should only be possible until the end of June and should only be valid for a short period of time. This should encourage a rapid availability of the quantities on the Union market.
(11) With their application, sugar producers should commit themselves to pay the minimum price for sugar beet used to produce the quantity of sugar for which they apply.
(12) The competent authorities of the Member States should notify the Commission of the applications received.
(13) The Commission should ensure that certificates are granted only within the quantitative limits fixed in this Regulation. Therefore, if necessary, the Commission should be able to fix an allocation coefficient applicable to the applications received.
(14) Member States should immediately inform the applicants whether their application was fully or partially granted.
(15) Account taken that the release on the Union market of quantities in excess of the certificates delivered is subject the surplus levy set out in Article 64(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, it is appropriate to provide that any applicant not fulfilling his commitment to release on the Union market the quantity covered by a certificate delivered to him, should also pay an amount of EUR 500 per tonne, for reasons of consistency, and to prevent abuse of the exceptional release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market during marketing year 2010/2011.
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Temporary reduction of the surplus levy
By way of derogation from Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 967/2006, the amount of the surplus levy for a maximum quantity of 500 000 tonnes of sugar in white sugar equivalent and 26 000 tonnes of isoglucose in dry matter, produced in excess of the quota fixed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and released on the Union market in the marketing year 2010/2011, shall be fixed at EUR 0 per tonne.

Member States that received no applications but have sugar or isoglucose quota allocated to them in marketing year 2010/2011, shall also send their nil returns notifications to the Commission within the same time limit.
3. The form and content of the notifications shall be defined on the basis of models made available by the Commission to the Member States.
Exceeded limits
When the information notified by the competent authorities of the Member States pursuant to Article 4(2) indicates that the quantities applied for exceed the limits set out in Article 1, the Commission shall:
(a) fix an allocation coefficient, which the Member States shall apply to the quantities covered by each notified certificate application;
(b) reject applications not yet notified;
(c) close the period for submitting the applications.
Issue of certificates
1. Without prejudice to Article 5, every week from Monday to Friday at the latest, the competent authorities of the Member States shall issue certificates for the applications notified to the Commission, in accordance with Article 4(2), during the preceding week.
A template of the certificate is set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. Each Monday Member States shall notify the Commission of the quantities of sugar and/or isoglucose for which they issued certificates in the preceding week.
Validity of certificates

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 684/2014
of 20 June 2014
concerning the authorisation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens (holder of the authorisation DSM Nutritional products Ltd)
(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of a canthaxanthin. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of canthaxanthin as a feed additive for breeder hens to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of canthaxanthin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it has a potential to stabilise the reproductive performance of breeder hens. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of the preparation of canthaxanthin shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Authorisation
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 800/1999 and (EC) No 2090/2002 as regards the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Articles 13 and 21 thereof, and the corresponding provisions of the other regulations on the common organisation of markets in agricultural products,
Whereas:
(1) It has been noted that the exporters' stock accounts used to monitor basic products placed under the prefinancing arrangements and intended for export in the form of processed products and which are based on standard rates of yields, do not necessarily reflect the real situation of existing stocks and do not allow adequate checks on the requirements to which these products are subject under Community rules. Article 4(3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products(3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83(4), should therefore be amended so that the standard rates of yields are no longer applied to prefinancing.
(2) Experience shows that the rules do not adequately specify how the physical checks on products placed under the prefinancing arrangements should be applied. Differences have also been found between Member States in the way the physical checks are conducted. In order to achieve uniform application of the rules in this area, a minimum compulsory rate of physical checks on products placed under the prefinancing arrangements should be introduced, to be carried out when the payment declaration is accepted; it should be specified also that these checks must be carried out in accordance with the system laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 163/94(6), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002(7).
(3) It has been found that exporters use the prefinancing arrangements above all to extend indirectly the period of validity of export licences. Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1253/2002(9), should therefore be further amended as regards the period during which basic products may remain under customs control with a view to processing and the period during which products may remain under a customs-warehousing or free-zone procedure.
(4) Furthermore, to ensure sound market management, the quantities of products placed under the prefinancing arrangements should be known fairly rapidly.
(5) Following the amendment of 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(10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2002(11), certain references to the articles of that Regulation contained in Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 should be amended.
(6) Regulations (EC) No 800/1999 and (EC) No 2090/2002 should be amended accordingly.
(7) The Management Committees concerned have not delivered opinions within the time limits set by their chairmen,
Article 4(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 is hereby replaced by the following:
"3. As regards control procedures and the rate of yield, the basic products shall be subject to the same rules as apply in respect of inward processing to products of the same nature, with the exception of the rules on the standard rates of yield.
The rates of yield to be applied for basic products used in the manufacture of the goods listed in Annex C to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000(12) shall be those indicated in that Annex."
Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 2(1)(h), "Articles 471 to 495" is replaced by "Articles 912a to 912g";
2. Article 10(1) is replaced by the following:
"1. Where the product is placed, in the Member State of export, under one of the simplified Community transit procedures for carriage of goods by rail or large containers provided for in Articles 412 to 442a of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 to a station of destination or for delivery to a consignee outside the customs territory of the Community, payment of the refund shall not be conditional on production of the T5 control copy.";
3. The following paragraph is added to Article 26:
"7. Products for which a payment declaration is accepted shall be subject to a physical check when the declaration is accepted, relating to a representative selection of at least 5 % of accepted payment declarations.
of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 and Article 2(2), Article 3, Article 4, Article 5, Article 6, Article 8(1) and (2), the first subparagraph of Article 11 of and Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002(13) shall apply. However, in the case of products placed under prefinancing arrangements and intended for export after processing, the physical check shall concern only the quantity and type of product."
4. Article 28(6) is replaced by the following:
"6. The period during which basic products may remain under customs control with a view to processing shall be equal to the remainder of the term of validity of the export licence.
Where export does not take place under cover of an export licence, the time limit shall be two months from the date of acceptance of the payment declaration.";
5. Article 29(5) is replaced by the following:
"5. The period during which products may remain under a customs-warehousing or free-zone procedure shall be equal to the remainder of the term of validity of the export licence.
Where export does not take place under cover of an export licence, the time limit shall be two months from the date of acceptance of the payment declaration.";
6. In the second subparagraph of Article 30(1), "Article 349" is replaced by "Article 357";
7. Article 53 is amended as follows:
(a) the second indent is replaced by the following:
"- for each 12-digit code, of the quantities of exported products not covered by export licences with advance fixing of the refund for the cases referred to in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1), Article 6 and Article 45. The codes shall be grouped by sector. Member States shall take the measures required to ensure that such information is notified by no later than the second month following that of acceptance of the export declaration,";
(b) the following indent is added:
"- of the quantities, for each 12-digit code, of products, or for each eight-digit code, of goods placed under the prefinancing arrangements referred to in Chapter 3 of Title II. The codes shall be grouped by sector. Member States shall take the measures required to ensure that such information is notified by no later than the second month following that of acceptance of the payment declaration."
Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002 is hereby deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
and Article 2(4), (5) and (7)(b) shall apply to products covered by a payment declaration accepted from 1 October 2003.
(7)(a) shall apply to products covered by an export declaration accepted from 1 October 2003.
(3) shall apply to products covered by a payment declaration accepted from 1 January 2004.
shall apply to products covered by an export declaration accepted from 1 January 2004.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services (1), and in particular Article 69 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts (2), and in particular Article 78 thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the coordination of procedures for the award of certain works contracts, supply contracts and service contracts by contracting authorities or entities in the fields of defence and security, and amending Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC (3), and in particular Article 68 thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts,
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 94/800/EC of 22 December 1994 concerning the conclusion on behalf of the European Community, as regards matters within its competence, of the agreements reached in the Uruguay Round multilateral negotiations (1986 to 1994) (4) the Council concluded the Agreement on Government Procurement (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’). The Agreement should be applied to any procurement contract with a value that reaches or exceeds the amounts (hereinafter referred to as ‘thresholds’) set in the Agreement and expressed as special drawing rights.
(2) One of the objectives of Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC is to allow the contracting entities and the contracting authorities which apply those Directives to comply at the same time with the obligations laid down in the Agreement. To achieve this, the thresholds laid down by those Directives for public contracts which are also covered by the Agreement should be aligned in order to ensure that they correspond to the euro equivalents, rounded down to the nearest thousand, of the thresholds set out in the Agreement.
(3) For reasons of coherence, it is appropriate to align also those thresholds in Directives 2004/17/EC and 2004/18/EC which are not covered by the Agreement. At the same time, the thresholds laid down by Directive 2009/81/EC should be aligned to the revised thresholds laid down in Article 16 of Directive 2004/17/EC.
(4) Directives 2004/17/EC, 2004/18/EC and 2009/81/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC (1), and in particular Article 67(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2003/85/EC sets out minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and certain preventive measures aimed at increasing the awareness and preparedness of the competent authorities and the farming community concerning that disease.
(2) Those preventive measures include an obligation on Member States to ensure that the handling of live foot-and-mouth disease virus for research and diagnosis is carried out only in the authorised national laboratories listed in Part A of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC.
(3) The United Kingdom has officially informed the Commission that the name of the national laboratory listed in Part A of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC situated in that Member State has changed.
(4) For legal certainty, it is important to keep the list of national laboratories set out in Part A of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC updated. It is therefore necessary to replace the entry for the United Kingdom in the list of national laboratories set out in Part A of that Annex.
(5) Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 in conjunction with Article 300(2), first sentence, and Article 300(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 5 April 2001, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate with Turkey an Agreement on precursors and chemical substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, hereinafter referred to as "the Agreement".
(2) The Community should strengthen controls on shipments of precursors to Turkey, given that they are re-entering the Community in the form of heroin or other psychotropic or narcotic substances.
(3) It is appropriate that the Council should authorise the Commission, in consultation with a special committee appointed by the Council, to approve amendments on behalf of the Community where the Agreement provides for them to be adopted by the Joint Follow-up Group. Such authorisation must, however, be limited to the amendment of the Annexes to the Agreement in so far as such amendment concerns substances already covered by Community legislation on drugs precursors and chemical substances.
(4) The Agreement should be approved,
The Agreement between the European Community and the Turkish Republic on precursors and chemical substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
1. The Community shall be represented in the Joint Follow-up Group provided for in Article 9 of the Agreement by the Commission, assisted by the representatives of the Member States.
2. The Commission is authorised to approve, on behalf of the Community, amendments to the Annexes to the Agreement adopted by the Joint Follow-up Group under the procedure laid down in Article 10 of the Agreement.
The Commission shall be assisted in carrying out this task by a special committee appointed by the Council with instructions to establish a common position.
3. The authorisation referred to in paragraph 2 shall be limited to those substances which are already covered by the relevant Community legislation on drugs precursors and chemical substances.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the persons empowered to sign the Agreement.
The President of the Council shall carry out, on behalf of the Community, the exchange of instruments provided for in Article 12 of the Agreement(1).
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2152/90
of 23 July 1990
opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain chemical and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of certain vanadiumoxydes and hydroxydes, of certain colour cathode-ray tubes and of a chemical product is currently unable to meet the specific requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of proucts of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas the most urgent Community requirements for the products in question should be met immediately on the most favourable terms; whereas zero duty Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened within the limits of appropriate volumes for a period up to 31 December 1990, taking account of the need not to disturb the market for such products nor the starting out or development of Community production; whereas the volumes kept for the colour cathode-ray tubes could be adjusted in the course of the exercise according to real needs that have been noted;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas, it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of these tariff quotas while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the quantities drawn by that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
1. From the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 31 December 1990, the duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below.

(1) Control of the use for this special purpose shall be carried out pursuant to the relevant Community provisions. 2. Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the 1985 Act of Accession.
The tariff quotas refered to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently.
Where an importer submits a product covered by this Regulation for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted must be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use a drawing in full, it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
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.

2013/54/EU: Council Implementing Decision of 22 January 2013 authorising the Republic of Slovenia to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 22 January 2013
authorising the Republic of Slovenia to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2013/54/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 30 July 2012, Slovenia requested authorisation to introduce a special measure derogating from point 15 of Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC, allowing Slovenia to exempt from value added tax (VAT) taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 50 000.
(2) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 18 September 2012 of the request made by Slovenia. By letter dated 19 September 2012, the Commission notified Slovenia that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.
(3) Under Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC, certain Member States which acceded to the Union after 1 January 1978 may exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than the equivalent in national currency of the amounts at the conversion rate on the day of their accession as specified in that provision. Slovenia has requested that its corresponding threshold, which is established at EUR 25 000 pursuant to point 15 of Article 287, be increased to EUR 50 000.
(4) A higher threshold for the special scheme for small enterprises is a simplification measure, as it may significantly reduce the VAT obligations of small businesses. The special scheme is optional for taxable persons.
(5) In its proposal of 29 October 2004 for a Directive amending Directive 77/388/EEC, now Directive 2006/112/EC, with a view to simplifying valued added tax obligations, the Commission included provisions aimed at allowing Member States to set the annual turnover ceiling for the VAT exemption scheme at up to EUR 100 000 or the equivalent in national currency, with the possibility of updating that amount each year. The request submitted by Slovenia is in line with that proposal.
(6) The derogating measure will have only a negligible effect on the overall amount of the tax revenue of Slovenia collected at the stage of final consumption and will have no adverse impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,
By way of derogation from point 15 of Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Republic of Slovenia is authorised to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 50 000.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.
It shall apply from 1 January 2013 until the date of entry into force of a Directive amending the amounts of the annual turnover ceilings below which taxable persons may qualify for VAT exemption or until 31 December 2015, whichever date is earlier.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Slovenia.

of 28 February 2002
fixing the export refunds on rice and broken rice and suspending the issue of export licences
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2001(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 18893 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001(5) should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 18893 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 2002.
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 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Articles 144(1) and 148, in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2007/360/EC of 29 May 2007 on the conclusion of Agreements in the form of Agreed Minutes between the European Community and the Federal Republic of Brazil, and between the European Community and the Kingdom of Thailand pursuant to Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) relating to the modification of concessions with respect to poultry meat (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 5 August 2008, Brazil published a Directive (3) on arrangements for allocating certificates of origin as from 1 October 2008.
(2) In view of the uncertainty regarding the conditions in which certificates of origin for products originating in Brazil are issued, at this stage the application period for the import sub-period from 1 January to 31 March 2009, which in accordance with Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 (4) has been set as the first seven days of October 2008, should be postponed as regards imports from that origin.
(3) There should consequently be a derogation, for that origin, from Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 616/2007 for the 2008/09 quota period.
(4) As the application period for the next sub-period is due to begin on 1 October 2008, it is essential that this Regulation applies from that date.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.

(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.

(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 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on flavourings and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/91, Regulations (EC) No 2232/96 and (EC) No 110/2008 and Directive 2000/13/EC (1), and in particular Article 11(3) 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(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 872/2012 (3) has adopted a list of flavouring substances and has introduced that list in Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008.
(2) That list may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application by a Member State or by an interested party.
(3) The flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene (FL-no 15.024) is included in the list as a flavouring substance under evaluation for which additional scientific data must be submitted. Such data has been submitted by the applicant.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority has evaluated the submitted data and concluded on 15 May 2013 that 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene is mutagenic both in vitro and in vivo and that therefore its use as flavouring substance raises a safety concern (4).
(5) Accordingly the use of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene does not comply with the general conditions of use for flavourings set out in Article 4(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008. Consequently, that substance should be removed from the list without delay in order to protect human health.
(6) The Commission should use the urgency procedure for the removal of a substance which raises a safety concern from the Union list.
(7) Pursuant to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 flavouring substances not included in the Union list may be placed on the market as such and used in or on food until 22 October 2014. That transitional period should not apply to 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene.
(8) Due to very low use levels and the low total amount that 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene has been added yearly to foods in the European Union, the presence of that substance in food does not raise immediate safety concerns. Therefore, taking into account also technical and economic reasons, transitional periods should be laid down to cover food containing the flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene, which has been placed on the market or dispatched from third countries for the Union, before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
1. The placing on the market of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene as a flavouring substance and the use of that substance in or on foods shall be prohibited.
2. The placing on the market of food containing the flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene shall be prohibited.
3. The import of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene as a flavouring substance and the import of food containing the flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene shall be prohibited.
1. By way of derogation to Article 2(2), foods containing the flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene which have been legally placed on the market before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may be marketed until their ‘use by’ date or their date of minimum durability.
2. Article 2 shall not apply to consignments of food containing the flavouring substance 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene where the importer of such food can demonstrate that they have been dispatched from the third country concerned and were en route to the Union before the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1165/2002(4), and in particular Article 40(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 lays down a procedure for the verification of the fat content of New Zealand butter presented for release into free circulation in the Community under the current access quota specified under quota number 09.4589 of Annex III.A to that Regulation. This procedure is based on statistical principles. An essential element of this procedure is the use of a typical process standard deviation of the fat content of butter made according to a defined specification in a specified production plant and known in advance by the control authorities in Member States where the declaration for release into free circulation in the Community is presented. The identification of the factories and the corresponding typical process standard deviation are contained in Commission Decision 2001/651/EC(5).
(2) The New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's Food Assurance Authority (MAF Food) by letter dated 5 July 2002 notified the Commission of new registered factory names and in some cases new registered factory numbers. The Annex to Decision 2001/651/EC should therefore be amended,
The Annex to Decision 2001/651/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply to imports of butter in respect of which IMA 1 certificates were issued from the third day following the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

In order to solve this problem and to bring the issue of licences more closely into line with the harvest period in the ACP States and overseas countries and territories concerned, the tranche currently fixed for the month of January should be put back a month and Regulation (EC) No 638/2003 should be amended accordingly.
(4) To allow optimal management of the tariff quotas concerned, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2006.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Regulation (EC) No 638/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
(a) in Article 3(1) ‘January’ is replaced by ‘February’;
(b) in Article 5(1) ‘January’ is replaced by ‘February’;
(c) Article 10(1) is amended as follows:
(i) in point (a), ‘January’ is replaced by ‘February’;
(ii) in point (b) ‘January’ is replaced by ‘February’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3207/88
of 17 October 1988
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 on the common organization of the market in eggs
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 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 the Community is a Contracting Party to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, hereinafter referred to as the 'harmonized system', which replaces the Convention of 15 December 1950 on Nomenclature for the Classification of Goods in Customs tariffs;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (3) established, from 1 January 1988, a combined goods nomenclature which meets the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the external trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas, as a result, it is necessary to express the descriptions of goods and tariff heading numbers which appear in Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 (4), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4000/87 (5), according to the terms of the combined nomenclature based on the harmonized system;
Whereas cooked eggs in shell and moulded egg products such as cylindrical 'long eggs' were classified in a subheading of heading No 21.07 (food preparations not elsewhere specified or included) of the Common Customs Tariff which was in force until 31 December 1987; whereas the said egg products were therefore not considered to be products covered by Annex II to the Treaty; whereas, with the introduction of the combined nomenclature, these products are now classified under CN code 0407 (birds' eggs, in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked) or 0408 (birds' eggs, not in shell and egg yolks, fresh, dried, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water, moulded, frozen or otherwise preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter); whereas cooked eggs in shell and moulded egg products may be used in the same way as, or as a replacement for, preserved eggs in shell or not in shell; whereas preserved eggs are included in the said Annex II and are therefore specified in Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75; whereas it is logical and desirable that cooked eggs in shell and moulded egg products should also be mentioned in the said Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4000/87 should be repealed;
Whereas numerous Regulations in the egg sector must be adapted to take account of the use of the new nomenclature; whereas, pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, only changes of a purely technical nature may be made; whereas, accordingly, a provision should be introduced whereby all other adjustments should be made in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, provided that such adjustments are required solely as a result of the introduction of the harmonized system,
Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'Article 1
1. The common organization of the market in eggs shall cover the following products:
1.2 // // // CN code // Description // // // (a) 0407 00 11 0407 00 19 0407 00 30 // Poultry eggs in shell, fresh, preserved or cooked // (b) 0408 11 10 0408 19 11 0408 19 19 0408 91 10 0408 99 10 // Eggs not in shell and egg yolks suitable for human consumption, fresh, dried, cooked by steaming or by boiling in water, moulded, frozen or otherwise preserved, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter // //
2. For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) "eggs in shell" means poultry eggs in shell, fresh, preserved, or cooked, other than eggs for hatching specified in (b);
(b) "eggs for hatching" means poultry eggs for hatching;
(c) "whole products" means birds' eggs not in shell, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter suitable for human consumption;
(d) "separated products" means birds' egg yolks, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetened matter suitable for human consumption;
(e) a "quarter" means a period of three months beginning on 1 February, 1 May, 1 August or 1 November.'
2. Annex I is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
Regulation (EEC) No 4000/87 is hereby repealed.
The Commission, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, shall make the necessary technical adjustments to Council or Commission Regulations concerning the common organization of the markets in eggs which result from the application of Article 1.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 January 1986
approving aids from the Kingdom of Belgium to the coalmining industry during 1985
(Only the French and Dutch texts are authentic)
(86/26/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Commission Decision 528/76/ECSC of 25 February 1976 regarding the Community system of measures taken by the Member States to assist the coalmining industry (1),
Having consulted the Council,
I
Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium has informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 2 of the above Decision, of the financial measures which it intends to take during 1985 in order to give direct or indirect support to the coalmining industry; whereas, of these measures, the following aids qualify for approval pursuant to that Decision;
1.2 // // (million Bfrs) // - investment aid // 588,0 // - recruitment of skilled workers // 14,6 // - aid to cover losses // 4 796,3;
Whereas these aids meet the criteria laid down in the Decision for the admissibility of such State assistance;
Whereas of the investment aid all the Bfrs 588 000 000 will go to the Campine coalfield, so that the coalfield can maintain the production of coking coal, which is important for the Belgian steel industry;
Whereas the Belgian investment aid is therefore compatible with the provisions of Article 7 (2) of the Decision;
Whereas the aid (Bfrs 14 600 000) for recruiting and training skilled workers has proved necessary in order to attract suitably qualified labour into Belgian coalmining capable of operating modern plant and machinery properly;
The aid therefore complies with Article 8 of the Decision;
Whereas the aid totalling 4 796 300 000 Bfrs paid to the Campine coalfield will almost make up the difference between costs and returns; whereas this almost complete covering of the difference between costs and returns is necessary because the coalfield is intended to supply the Belgian steel industry with coking coal and must therefore maintain its output;
Whereas the purpose and amount of aid granted to cover losses in respect of the Campine coalfield therefore comply with the second subparagraph of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (3) of the Decision;
II
Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (2) of the Decision, all other measures to assist current production in 1985 must be taken into consideration for an examination of the compatibility of the proposed aids with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas, on this basis of assessment, the total amount of aid proposed is 231 200 000 ECU, i. e. 35,03 ECU per tonne; whereas this figure compared with 1984 (34,03 ECU/t) shows that there is an augmentation of nearly 2,9 %;
Whereas the following observations can be made on the compatibility of the proposed current production aids with the proper functioning of the common market;
- there were no supply difficulties in 1985,
- industrial consumers of coal did not receive aid in 1985 as a result of the prices of Belgian coking coal and steam coal;
Whereas it may be concluded that the aid granted to the Belgian coalmining industry in 1985 is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;
Whereas this applies even when account is taken of aids to the coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;
III
Whereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that any aid it approves is used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof; whereas the Commission must therefore be informed in particular of the amounts of the payments and the manner in which they are apportioned;
The Kingdom of Belgium is hereby authorized in respect of the 1985 calendar year to grant aid totalling Bfrs 5 398 900 000 to the Belgian coalmining industry.
The amount of Bfrs 5 398 900 000 provided in respect of the calendar year 1985 is divided as follows:
1. Grant of investment aid of Bfrs 588 000 000;
2. Grant of aid for recruiting and training skilled workers not exceeding Bfrs 14 600 000;
3. Grant of aid to cover losses of Bfrs 4 796 300 000.
The Government of the Kingdom of Belgium shall notify the Commission by 31 March 1986 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision, and in particular of the amount of the payments made and the manner in which they are apportioned.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.

Council Regulation (EC) No 304/97 of 17 February 1997 introducing safeguard measures in respect of imports of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 304/97 of 17 February 1997 introducing safeguard measures in respect of imports of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 109 thereof in conjunction with Annex IV, Article 1 (7) thereof,
Whereas, on 29 November and 10 December 1996, the Italian and Spanish Governments respectively applied to the Commission, pursuant to Article 109 of Decision 91/482/EEC, for safeguard measures to be introduced in respect of imports of rice from the overseas countries and territories (OCT);
Whereas the Italian and Spanish Governments have pointed out that increased imports of cheap rice from the OCT have caused serious disruption in the Community rice sector and may cripple this sector of the Community economy;
Whereas on 8 January 1997 the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 21/97 introducing safeguard measures in respect of imports of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (2);
Whereas the Government of the United Kingdom referred that Commission Decision to the Council in accordance with Article 1 (5) of Annex IV to Decision 91/482/EEC;
Whereas, pursuant to paragraph 7 of that Article, the Council may adopt a different decision within the period indicated therein;
Whereas rice originating in the OCT, which is exempt from the levy on import into the Community in accordance with Article 101 (1) of Decision 91/482/EEC, is sold on the Community market at a lower price than that at which Community rice can be sold, given the level of processing involved;
Whereas the combined effect of the quantities and low prices of those imports is causing a disturbance on the Community market in rice, which has experienced a normal harvest of Indica rice in 1996/97 after two years of drought;
Whereas the Community has provided aid per hectare on a temporary basis to encourage Community producers to grow more Indica rice; whereas imports of cheap rice from the OCT may undermine these attempts to diversify production, leading European producers initially to put enormous quantities into intervention and subsequently to return to growing Japonica rice, for which there is already a surplus;
Whereas the quantities of rice imported from the OCT are likely to increase still further owing to the region's unrealized potential;
Whereas, consequently, the threat of damage to a sector of the Community economy exists; whereas safeguard measures should therefore be applied to imports into the Community of rice from the OCT pursuant to Article 109 of Decision 91/482/EEC;
Whereas priority should be given to measures which would least disturb the functioning of the association and the Community, in accordance with Article 109 (2) of Decision 91/482/EEC; whereas such measures must, moreover, be limited to what is strictly necessary to remedy the difficulties that have arisen;
Whereas the introduction of a tariff quota would guarantee OCT rice access to the Community market within the limits compatible with the stability of that market while preserving the greatest possible degree of preferential treatment for that product consistent with the objectives of Decision 91/482/EEC;
Whereas the quota should be opened for a period sufficient to monitor trends on the Community market and long enough to be compatible with the stability and predictability of trade; whereas a period of four months from 1 January 1997 would meet those requirements; whereas, before that period expires, there should be an evaluation of the situation to determine whether the measures need to be extended or adjusted;
Whereas the quota should be opened for a quantity of 36 728 tonnes of husked rice equivalent originating in the OCT, other than the least-developed OCT, corresponding to the quantities imported over the last four years for which statistics are available;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 110 of Decision 91/482/EEC, particular attention should be paid to the interests of the least-developed OCT listed in Article 230 of that Decision, amongst which appear Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands;
Whereas, moreover, as a result of major volcanic activity on Montserrat, rice-milling is the most significant source of employment for that island apart from Government service,
1. Imports into the Community of rice originating in the OCT falling within CN code 1006 and benefiting from exemption from customs duties shall be restricted during the period of 1 January to 30 April 1997 to the following quantities of husked rice equivalent:
(a) 8 000 tonnes for rice originating in Montserrat and in the Turks and Caicos Islands, made up of:
- 4 594 tonnes originating in Montserrat, and
- 3 406 tonnes originating in Montserrat or the Turks and Caicos Islands;
and
(b) 36 728 tonnes for rice originating in the other OCT.
2. The quantity of rice originating in the regions referred to in paragraph 1 for which import licences have been issued since 1 January 1997 shall be allocated from the quotas specified in paragraph 1.
3. Licences shall be issued for applications for import licences for rice originating in the regions referred to in paragraph 1 submitted between 1 and 3 January 1997 in accordance with the provisions applicable when the applications were submitted.
4. Applications for import licences for rice originating in the regions referred to in paragraph 1 submitted between 4 January 1997 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation for which licences have not been issued shall be deemed admissible under this Regulation provided that:
- they concern a quantity not greater than 1 000 tonnes per application and per origin, or the quantity applied for is reduced to 1 000 tonnes per origin,
- the applicant has submitted no more than one application per origin per day or, if he has submitted more than one application per day, the other applications have been rejected
and
- the importer lodges an additional security to ensure compliance with the obligation referred to in Article 3 (4).
Admissible applications shall be treated as applications submitted pursuant to Articles 2 and 3. For the purpose of applying Article 4 (3), such applications shall be considered admissible on the date of their submission.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 388/2011
of 19 April 2011
concerning the authorisation of maduramicin ammonium alpha as a feed additive for chickens for fattening (holder of authorisation Alpharma (Belgium) BVBA) and amending Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999
(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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
(2) Maduramicin ammonium alpha, CAS number 84878-61-5, was authorised for 10 years in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 (3) and for use on turkeys by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2380/2001 (4). That additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of maduramicin ammonium alpha as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 9 December 2010 that, under the proposed conditions of use, maduramicin ammonium alpha does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that that additive is effective in controlling coccidiosis in chickens for fattening (5). The Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of maduramicin ammonium alpha shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the provisions on maduramicin ammonium alpha in Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999 should be deleted.
(7) Since the modifications on the conditions of the authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of the premixtures and compound feed.
(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,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘coccidiostats and histomonostats’ is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2430/1999, the entry under the registration number of additive E 770, concerning Maduramicin ammonium alpha is deleted.
Premixtures and compound feed containing maduramicin ammonium alpha labelled in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 61(c), Article 67, in conjunction with the first subparagraph of Article 300(2) and the second subparagraph of Article 300(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the assent of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) The Protocol amending the Convention of 29 July 1960 on Third Party Liability in the Field of Nuclear Energy, amended by the Additional Protocol of 28 January 1964 and by the Protocol of 16 November 1982 (hereinafter referred to as the Paris Convention) was negotiated with a view to improving compensation for victims of damage caused by nuclear accidents. It provides for increasing liability amounts and extending the system of nuclear third party liability to environmental damage.
(2) In accordance with the Council's negotiating directives of 13 September 2002, the Commission negotiated the Protocol of amendment to the Paris Convention for matters falling within the jurisdiction of the European Community. However, the Council's negotiating directives did not provide for negotiating a clause allowing the accession of the Community to the Protocol.
(3) The Protocol was finally adopted by the Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention. The text of the Protocol complies with the Council's negotiating directives.
(4) The Community has exclusive jurisdiction with regard to amending Article 13 of the Paris Convention where such amendment would affect the rules laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters(2). The Member States retain their jurisdiction for matters covered by the Protocol which do not affect Community law. Given the subject matter and the aim of the Protocol of amendment, acceptance of the provisions of the Protocol which come under Community jurisdiction cannot be dissociated from the provisions which come under the jurisdiction of the Member States.
(5) The Protocol of amendment to the Paris Convention is particularly important, in the light of the interests of the Community and its Member States, because it improves compensation for damage caused by nuclear accidents.
(6) The Protocol was signed by the Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention, on behalf of the European Community, on 12 February 2004, subject to its possible conclusion at a later date, in accordance with Council Decision 2003/882/EC of(3).
(7) The Paris Convention and its Protocol of amendment are not open to participation by regional organisations. As a result, the Community is not in a position to sign or ratify the Protocol, or to accede to it. Under these circumstances, it is justified, on a very exceptional basis, that the Member States ratify or accede to the Protocol in the interest of the Community.
(8) However, three of the Member States, namely Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg, are not Parties to the Paris Convention. Given that the Protocol amends the Paris Convention, that Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 authorises the Member States bound by that Convention to continue to apply the rules on jurisdiction provided for in it and that the Protocol does not substantially amend the rules on jurisdiction of the Convention, it is objectively justified that this Decision should be addressed only to those Member States that are Parties to the Paris Convention. Accordingly, Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg will continue to base themselves on the Community rules contained in Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 and to apply them in the area covered by the Paris Convention and by the Protocol amending that Convention.
(9) The Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention, should therefore ratify the Protocol amending the Paris Convention, or accede to it, in the interest of the European Community, subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision. Such ratification or accession is without prejudice to the position of Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg.
(10) Consequently, the provisions of the Protocol, as regards the European Community, will be applied only by those Member States which are currently Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention and is without prejudice to the position of Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg.
(11) The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 and are therefore taking part in the adoption of this Decision.
(12) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark does not take part in the adoption of this Decision, and is not bound by it or subject to its application,
1. Without prejudice to the Community's powers, the Member States which are currently Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention shall ratify the Protocol amending the Paris Convention, or accede to it, in the interest of the European Community. Such ratification or accession shall be without prejudice to the position of Austria, Ireland and Luxembourg.
2. The text of the Protocol amending the Paris Convention is attached to this Decision.
3. For the purposes of this Decision, the term "Member State" shall mean all Member States with the exception of Austria, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg.
1. Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention shall take the necessary steps to deposit simultaneously their instruments of ratification of the Protocol, or accession to it, with the Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development within a reasonable time and, if possible, before 31 December 2006.
2. Member States which are Contracting Parties to the Paris Convention shall exchange information with the Commission within the Council before 1 July 2006 on the date on which they expect their parliamentary procedures required for ratification or accession to be completed. The date and arrangements for simultaneous deposit shall be determined on that basis.
When ratifying or acceding to the Protocol amending the Paris Convention, Member States shall inform the Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in writing that ratification or accession has taken place in accordance with this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community.

2010/1/: Commission Decision of 23 December 2009 on the renewal of the mandate of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies
|
5.1.2010 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 1/8
COMMISSION DECISION
of 23 December 2009
on the renewal of the mandate of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies
(2010/1/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) In November 1991, the European Commission decided to incorporate ethics into the decision-making process for Community research and technological development policies by setting up the Group of Advisers on the Ethical Implications of Biotechnology (GAEIB).
(2) The Commission decided on 16 December 1997 to replace the GAEIB by the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE) extending the Group’s mandate to cover all areas of the application of science and technology.
(3) The EGE’s mandate, with a slightly modified remit, was renewed by Commission Decision of 26 March 2001 for a four-year period (C(2001) 691).
(4) The current EGE’s mandate was decided on 11 May 2005 (Commission Decision 2005/383/EC (1)), and extended by Commission Decision 2009/757/EC (2).
(5) It is now appropriate to renew the mandate for a period of five years and thus to appoint the new members; the present Decision, however, does not prejudice the possibility for the new Commission to review the substance of the mandate.
(6) The following decision replaces Decision 2009/757/EC,
The Commission hereby decides to renew the mandate of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE) for a five-year period.
Mission
The task of the EGE shall be to advise the Commission on ethical questions relating to sciences and new technologies, either at the request of the Commission or on its own initiative. The Parliament and the Council may draw the Commission’s attention to questions which they consider to be of major ethical importance. The Commission shall, when seeking the opinion of the EGE, set a time limit within which such an opinion shall be given.
Composition — Nomination — Appointment
1. The EGE members are appointed by the President of the Commission.
2. The following rules will apply:
— members are nominated ad personam. Members serve in a personal capacity and are asked to advise the Commission independently from any outside influence. The EGE shall be independent, pluralist and multidisciplinary,
— the EGE shall have up to 15 members,
— each member of the EGE shall be appointed for a term of five years. Such appointment may be renewable for a maximum of two further terms,
— the identification and selection of the EGE members will be made on the basis of an open call for expressions of interest. Additional applications received through other channels will also be taken into consideration in the selection procedure,
— the list of EGE members shall be published by the Commission in the Official Journal of the European Union,
— suitable candidates who are not nominated members shall be placed on a reserve list,
— where a member is no longer capable of contributing efficiently to the work of the group, or resigns, the President may appoint a replacement member from the reserve list, for the remaining duration of the original member’s mandate.
Functioning
1. The EGE members shall elect a chairperson and a vice-chairperson from among its members for the duration of the term of office.
2. The EGE Work Programme, including such ethical reviews suggested on its own initiative by the EGE, shall be agreed by the President of the Commission. The Bureau of European Policy Advisers (BEPA) of the Commission, acting in close cooperation with the EGE’s chairperson, shall be responsible for organising the work of the EGE and its Secretariat.
3. The EGE’s working sessions shall be private. Outside these working sessions the EGE may discuss its work with concerned Commission departments and may invite representatives of NGOs or representative organisations when appropriate for an exchange of views. The agenda for the EGE meetings will be distributed to relevant Commission services.
4. The EGE will normally meet at the Commission’s seat according to the modalities and the calendar fixed by the Commission. The EGE should meet at least six times during a 12-month period involving around 12 working days a year. Members are expected to attend a minimum of four meetings a year.
5. For the purposes of preparing its opinions and within the limits of the available resources for this action, the EGE:
— may invite experts having a specific competence, to guide and inform the work of the EGE if this is deemed useful and/or necessary,
— may initiate studies in order to collect all necessary scientific and technical information,
— may set up working groups to consider specific issues,
— shall organise a public round table in order to promote dialogue and improve transparency for each opinion that it produces,
— shall establish close links with the Commission departments involved in the topic the Group is working on,
— may establish closer links with representatives of the various ethics bodies in the European Union and in the applicant countries.
6. Every opinion shall be published immediately after its adoption. Where an opinion is not adopted unanimously, it shall include any dissenting point of view. Where there is an operational requirement for advice to be given more quickly on a particular subject, short statements will be produced, to be followed if necessary by a fuller analysis, while ensuring that transparency is respected as for any other opinion. EGE opinions always refer to the state of the art of the technology at the time the opinion is issued. The EGE may decide to update opinions if it deems it necessary.
7. The EGE shall adopt its own rules of procedure.
8. A report on the EGE’s activities shall be produced under the responsibility of the chairperson before the end of its term of office. The report shall be published.
Meeting expenses
Travel and subsistence expenses for the meetings of the EGE shall be covered by the Commission according to Commission rules.
Entry into force
The present decision will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union and shall enter into force on the day of the nomination of the new EGE members. It shall replace Decision 2009/757/EC.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

2011/363/EU: Council Implementing Decision of 20 June 2011 authorising Romania to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 20 June 2011
authorising Romania to introduce a special measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2011/363/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letters registered at the Commission on 4 November 2009, 2 July 2010, 26 July 2010 and 20 December 2010, Romania requested authorisation, for a period of 2 years, to designate as liable to value added tax (VAT) the taxable persons to whom supplies of certain cereals and oilseeds are made, by way of derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC. It has said that it will not seek renewal of this authorisation.
(2) The Commission forwarded Romania’s request to the other Member States by letter of 15 March 2011. By letter of 22 March 2011, the Commission notified Romania that it had all the information it considered necessary for appraisal of the requests.
(3) Romania has found cases of tax evasion in the trade in certain unprocessed agricultural products, cereals and oilseeds. Some operators do not pay VAT to the Treasury after delivering their products, especially if they have acquired them without payment of input tax. Their customers, however, are entitled to deduct the VAT as they are in possession of a valid invoice.
(4) Designating the taxable person to whom the goods are supplied as liable for the VAT instead of the supplier would be a temporary emergency measure that would put an end to this form of evasion. Application of that special measure for 2 years should give Romania time to introduce in the agricultural sector definitive measures compatible with Directive 2006/112/EC that would prevent and combat this form of evasion.
(5) To prevent the fraudulent activity being transferred to the processing stage of food or industrial goods, or to other products, Romania should introduce at the same time appropriate declaration and control measures and notify the Commission thereof.
(6) To ensure that the special measure applies only to unprocessed agricultural products and that the taxable persons concerned do not incur disproportionate administrative costs or run any risk as to legal certainty, the goods covered by the special measure should be determined by using the combined nomenclature laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2).
(7) The special measure is justified and proportionate to the objectives pursued. It is of fixed duration and concerns only a number of clearly designated products that are not normally used in the unaltered state for final consumption and have been the subject of tax evasion activities that have caused a substantial loss of VAT revenue. Given the scale of this lost tax revenue, the measure should be adopted as soon as possible.
(8) The special measure will not affect the overall amount of VAT revenue of Romania collected at the stage of final consumption and will have no adverse impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Romania is hereby authorised to designate as the person liable to pay VAT the taxable recipient of supplies of the following goods, as set out in the combined nomenclature established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87:
CN code Product
1001 10 00 Durum wheat
1001 90 10 Spelt for sowing
ex 1001 90 91 Common wheat, seed
ex 1001 90 99 Other spelt and common wheat, not for sowing
1002 00 00 Rye
1003 00 Barley
1005 Maize
1201 00 Soya beans, whether or not broken
1205 Rape or colza seeds, whether or not broken
1206 00 Sunflower seeds, whether or not broken
1212 91 Sugar beet
The authorisation provided for in Article 1 is subject to Romania’s introducing declaration obligations and appropriate and effective control measures with respect to taxable persons who supply the goods to which that authorisation applies.
Romania shall notify the Commission of the introduction of the obligations and measures referred to in the first paragraph.
This Decision shall take effect on the date of its notification.
It shall apply from 1 June 2011 until 31 May 2013.
This Decision is addressed to Romania.

COMMISSION DECISION of 24 June 1996 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards fixed fire-fighting systems (Text with EEA relevance) (96/577/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures pursuant to Article 13 (3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacture is a necessary and sufficient condition for attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13 (4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
Whereas Article 13 (4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13 (3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for harmonized standards.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 655/87
of 2 March 1987
increasing the volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 1726/86 for animals of certain mountain breeds
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1726/86 (3), opened and allocated among the Member States, for the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987, a Community tariff quota of 38 000 head at a duty of 4 %, for animals of certain mountain breeds; whereas, by Decision 86/555/EEC (4), the Council approved the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning agriculture; whereas this agreement provides for the volume of the aforementioned quota to be raised from 38 000 to 42 600 heads as from 1 July 1986 so as to take into account the accession of Spain and Portugal; whereas the volume of this quota should as a result be modified;
Whereas it is appropriate to divide into two instalments the volume of the increase, the first part being allocated among certain Member States in proportion to their foreseeable additional needs, and the second held as a Community reserve to cover the possible additional needs of any Member State,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 1726/86 for animals of certain mountain breeds, falling within subheading ex 01.02 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, shall be raised from 38 000 to 42 600 head.
1. A first instalment of the additional volume referred to in Article 1 and amounting to 2 500 head shall be allocated among certain Member States as follows:
1.2 // - Greece: // 500 head, // - Italy: // 2 000 head.
2. The second instalment, being 2 100 head, shall constitute the reserve. The reserve provided for in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/86 shall thus be raised from 8 000 to 10 100 head.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 181a(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Community action to promote human rights and democratic principles as set out in the Communication of 8 May 2001 from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the European Union's Role in Promoting Human Rights and Democratisation in Third Countries shall continue beyond 2004. Council Regulation (EC) No 975/1999 of 29 April 1999 laying down the requirements for the implementation of development cooperation operations which contribute to the general objective of developing and consolidating democracy and the rule of law and to that of respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms (2) and Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 (3) proved to be adequate legal instruments for the implementation of the Community's technical and financial support for human rights and democratisation activities in developing and other third countries in pursuit of the overall objectives in this field. The period of validity of those Regulations, however, expires on 31 December 2004. It is, therefore, necessary to extend that period.
(2) On the basis of the ratio of the financial reference amount included in Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 and the indicative human rights and democratisation appropriations until 2006, an extended financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (4), is inserted in this Regulation for the extended duration of the programme, without the powers of the budgetary authority as defined by the Treaty being affected thereby.
(3) The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 on procedures for the implementation of aid should be aligned with the legal requirements of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (5) in the implementation of EU Election Observation Missions.
(4) The protection of the Community's financial interests and the fight against fraud and irregularities form an integral part of Regulation (EC) No 976/1999. In particular, agreements and contracts concluded pursuant to that Regulation should authorise the Commission to carry out the measures provided for in Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2185/96 of 11 November 1996 concerning on-the-spot checks and inspections carried out by the Commission in order to protect the European Communities' financial interests against fraud and other irregularities (6).
(5) The measures necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (7).
(6) Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 976/1999 is hereby amended as follows:
1) in Article 3(2), the following point shall be added:
‘(h) supporting efforts to foster the establishment of groupings of democratic countries within United Nations bodies, specialised agencies and regional organisations.’;
2) in Article 5(1), the following sentence shall be added:
3) in Article 6, the first sentence shall be replaced by the following:
4) Article 8(3) shall be replaced by the following:
5) in Article 11, the first paragraph shall be replaced by the following:
6) Articles 12 and 13 shall be replaced by the following:
(a) multiannual indicative programmes and annual updates of these programmes,
(b) annual work programmes.
7) Article 14(2) shall be replaced by the following:
8) in Article 16, the second sentence shall be deleted;
9) Article 18 shall be replaced by the following:
10) in Article 21, in the second paragraph, the date ‘31 December 2004’ shall be replaced by the date ‘31 December 2006’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2005.

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/280/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on statutory audits of annual accounts and consolidated accounts, amending Council Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC and repealing Council Directive 84/253/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 47(3) thereof,
After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 47(1) and Article 53 of Directive 2006/43/EC, in case of inspections or investigations of statutory auditors or audit firms, competent authorities of Member States may allow the transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms to the competent authorities of a third country only if those authorities have been declared adequate by the Commission and there are reciprocal working arrangements between them and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned. It therefore needs to be determined which competent authorities of third countries are adequate for the purpose of the transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms to the competent authorities of a third country.
(2) A transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms to the competent authorities of a third country reflects a substantial public interest related to carrying out independent public oversight. Accordingly, any such transfer by the competent authorities of Member States should be made solely for the purpose of the exercise of the competences of public oversight, external quality assurance and investigations of auditors and audit firms by the competent authorities of the third country concerned. Member States should ensure that the bilateral working arrangements which allow the transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms between their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States of America contain appropriate safeguards with regard to the protection of personal data as well as the protection of professional secrets and sensitive commercial information related to the companies whose financial statements are audited as well as the auditors of such companies comprised in such papers. The persons employed or formerly employed by the competent authorities of the third country that receive the information should be subject to obligations of professional secrecy.
(3) Without prejudice to Article 47(4) of Directive 2006/43/EC, Member States should ensure that, for the purpose of public oversight, quality assurance and investigations of auditors and audit firms, contacts between the auditors or audit firms of the Member States and the competent authorities of the United States of America take place via the competent authorities of the Member State concerned.
(4) Member States may decide to accept joint inspections in exceptional circumstances where this is necessary to ensure effective supervision. Member States may allow that cooperation with the competent authorities of the United States of America takes place under the form of joint inspections or through observers without inspection or investigation powers and without access to the confidential audit working papers or to other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms. Such cooperation should always take place under the conditions set out in Article 47(2) of Directive 2006/43/EC and in this Decision, in particular as regards the need to respect sovereignty, confidentiality and reciprocity. Member States should ensure that any joint inspections carried out in the Union by their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States of America under Article 47 of Directive 2006/43/EC should be under the leadership of the competent authority of the Member State concerned.
(5) Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (2) applies to the processing of personal data carried out pursuant to that Directive. Accordingly, where a transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms to the competent authorities of the United States of America involves the disclosure of personal data, it should always be carried out in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC. Member States should ensure appropriate safeguards with regard to the protection of personal data transferred, in particular through binding agreements in accordance with Chapter IV of Directive 95/46/EC between their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States, and that the competent authorities of the United States would not further disclose personal data comprised in transferred audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms without the prior agreement of the competent authorities of the Member States concerned.
(6) The adequacy of competent authorities of a third country should be assessed in the light of the cooperation requirements set out in Article 36 of Directive 2006/43/EC or essentially equivalent functional results. In particular, the adequacy should be assessed in the light of the competences exercised by the competent authorities of the United States of America, the safeguards against breaching professional secrecy and confidentiality rules implemented by them and their ability under their laws and regulations to cooperate with the competent authorities of Member States.
(7) As auditors and audit firms of companies of the Union which have issued securities in the United States of America, or which form part of a group issuing statutory consolidated accounts in that country are regulated by the laws of the United States of America, it should be decided whether the competent authorities of Member States may transfer audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms to the competent authorities of the United States of America solely for the purposes of the exercise of their competences of public oversight, external quality assurance and investigations of auditors and audit firms.
(8) Adequacy assessments for the purposes of Article 47 of Directive 2006/43/EC have been carried out with respect to the competent authorities of the United States of America. Adequacy decisions in respect of the authorities of the United States of America should be taken on the basis of those assessments.
(9) The Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America has competence in investigating auditors and audit firms; this Decision should only cover the competences of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America to investigate auditors and audit firms. The Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America implements adequate safeguards banning and sanctioning disclosure by its current and former employees of confidential information to any third person or authority. It would use the transferred audit working or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms papers solely for purposes related to investigations of auditors and audit firms. Under the laws and regulations of the United States of America, the Securities and Exchange Commission has the ability to transfer audit working papers or other documents held by United States auditors or audit firms which relate to investigations it may perform on such auditors and audit firms to the competent authorities of any Member State. On this basis, the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America should be declared adequate for the purpose of Article 47(1) of Directive 2006/43/EC.
(10) The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America has competence in the public oversight, external quality assurance and investigation of auditors and audit firms. It implements adequate safeguards banning and sanctioning disclosure by its current and former employees of confidential information to any third person or authority. It would use transferred audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms solely for purposes related to the public oversight, external quality assurance and investigation of auditors and audit firms. Under the laws and regulations of the United States of America, it may transfer audit working papers or other documents held by United States auditors or audit firms to the competent authorities of any Member State. On this basis, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America should be declared adequate for the purpose of Article 47(1) of Directive 2006/43/EC.
(11) Transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms should include access to or transmission to the authorities declared adequate under this Decision of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms, upon prior agreement of the competent authorities of Member States, and access to or transmission of such papers by the competent authorities of Member States to those authorities. As a consequence, in case of inspections or investigations, statutory auditors and audit firms should not be allowed to grant access, nor to transmit audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms to those authorities under other conditions than the ones set out in this Decision and in Article 47 of Directive 2006/43/EC, for example on the basis of consent of the statutory auditor, the audit firms or the client company.
(12) This Decision should be without prejudice to the cooperation arrangements referred to in Article 25(4) of Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market and amending Directive 2001/34/EC (3).
(13) As this Decision is taken in the context of Commission Implementing Decision 2013/281/EU (4) on the equivalence of the public oversight, quality assurance, investigation and penalty system for auditors and audit entities of the United States of America, it should not pre-empt any final equivalence decisions that the Commission may adopt pursuant to Article 46(2) of Directive 2006/43/EC.
(14) The ultimate objective of cooperation with the United States of America in audit oversight is to reach mutual reliance on each other’s oversight systems where transfers of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms would be exceptional. The mutual reliance would be based on the equivalence of the Union and the United States’ auditor oversight systems.
(15) The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America intends to evaluate further the auditor oversight systems of the Member States before deciding to rely on the oversight performed by their competent authorities. Therefore, the mechanism of cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America and the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America should be reviewed to assess the progress made towards reaching mutual reliance on each other’s oversight systems. For those reasons, this Decision should be applicable for a limited period of time.
(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 48(1) of Directive 2006/43/EC,
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America and the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America shall be considered adequate for the purpose of Article 47(1) of Directive 2006/43/EC.
1. In case of inspections or investigations of statutory auditors or audit firms any transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms shall be either subject to prior approval by the competent authority of the Member State concerned, or it shall be carried out by the competent authority of the Member State concerned.
2. The transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms shall not serve any other purpose than the public oversight, external quality assurance or investigations of auditors and audit firms.
3. Where audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms are exclusively held by a statutory auditor or audit firm registered in a Member State other than the Member State where the group auditor is registered and whose competent authority has received a request from any of the authorities referred to in Article 1, such papers or documents shall be transferred to the competent authority of the third country concerned only if the competent authority of the first Member State has given its express agreement to the transfer.
4. Member States shall ensure that the bilateral working arrangements which allow the transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms between their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States of America contain appropriate safeguards with regard to the protection of personal data as well as the protection of professional secrets and sensitive commercial information related to the companies whose financial statements are audited as well as the auditors of such companies comprised in such papers.
5. Without prejudice to Article 47(4) of Directive 2006/43/EC, Member States shall ensure that, for the purpose of public oversight, quality assurance and investigations of auditors and audit firms, the bilateral working arrangements which allow the transfer of audit working papers or other documents held by statutory auditors or audit firms between their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States of America provide that contacts between the auditors or audit firms of the Member States and the competent authorities of the United States of America take place via the competent authorities of the Member State concerned.
6. Member States may agree to joint inspections only where necessary. They shall ensure that any joint inspections carried out by their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States of America on the territory of Member States in accordance with Article 47 of Directive 2006/43/EC shall, as a general rule, be under the leadership of the competent authority of the Member State concerned.
7. Member States shall ensure that any bilateral working arrangements between their competent authorities and the competent authorities of the United States of America comply with the conditions for cooperation set out in this Article.
This Decision shall apply from 1 August 2013 to 31 July 2016.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, to ensure the uniform application of the combined nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, provisions are required on the tariff classification of a glass bottle containing 0,7 litres of rice wine (sake), a small procelain jug and three small dringking bowls, also of porcelain, put up together in a box;
Whereas the combined nomenclature annexe to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 CN code 2206 00 93 covers other still fermented beverages, in containers holding 2 litres or less and CN code 6911 10 00 covers 'tableware and kitchenware'; whereas, for the classification of the abovementioned goods, these two codes could be envisaged;
Whereas these articles shall not be considered as 'goods put up in sets', within the meaning of general rule 3 (b) for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, given that they do not satisfy the condition laid down at point X (b) of the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System drawn up by the Customs Cooperation Council relating to Rule 3 (b) i.e. they do not 'consist of products . . . . put up together to meet a particular need . . . .';
Whereas correct interpretation of the text of the abovementioned rule 3 (b) leads one to the conclusion that simultaneous use of the articles in question is an insufficient ground for considering that the goods constitute a set; in particular, an alteration leading to the creation of a new product should be involved or the presence of the article should be essential in order to carry out the activity in question;
Whereas the association of the wine and porcelain receptacles in question satisfies none of the abovementioned criteria; whereas the rice wine is already in its original bottle and the use of the receptables in question is neither complementary nor meets a particular need; in these circumstances, the articles in question should be classified separately;
Whereas the Nomenclature Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit laid down by the chairman,
A glass bottle containing 0,7 litres of rice wine (sake), a small porcelain jug and three small drinking bowls, also of porcelain, put up together in a box, should be classified in the combined nomenclature as follows:
- the rice wine (sake) under CN codes:
1.2 // 2206 00 // Other fermented beverages (for example, cider, perry, mead): // // - Other: // // - - Still, in containers holding: // 2206 00 93 // - - - 2 litres or less
- the porcelain jug and three small drinking bowls under CN codes:
1.2 // 6911 00 // Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china: // 6911 10 00 // - Tableware and kitchenware

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1991 on the multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1992 to 1996) submitted by Greece pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 (Only the Greek text is authentic) (92/67/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Articles 2 and 4 thereof,
Whereas the structural policies implemented by the Community in the aquaculture sector must have development objectives which are compatible with all Community policies and must contribute to the establishment of the common economic area;
Whereas those objectives must ensure more far-reaching economic and social cohesion while allowing market rules to apply;
Whereas it is more important to create the conditions favourable to development than to make provision for specific measures only;
Whereas steps should be taken to coordinate, in a comprehensive and coherent framework, the operations of the financial instruments both in the Community and in the Member States;
Whereas, in areas where it is being developed, aquaculture interacts with the natural environment; whereas, in certain circumstances, aquaculture may in some cases affect the environment positively and in others negatively;
Whereas Council Directives 91/67/EEC (3), 91/492/EEC (4) and 91/493/EEC (5) harmonize the rules governing animal health and public health as applied to fish farms;
Whereas pressure on space and in particular intense competition regarding the use of the coastline are a major constraint on the development of aquaculture; whereas it is essential, therefore, that preference be given to a policy of identifying sites which are suitable for the development of aquaculture as an integral part of the landscape and to coastline development projects;
Whereas the future of aquaculture will be determined also by the ability of the industry to increase the range of production by operating experimental farms and pilot projects arising from research;
Whereas on 30 April 1991 the Greek Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture, hereinafter called 'the programme'; whereas on 7 October 1991 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas the aim of the programme is to make maximum use of and improve the management of rivers, lakes and lagoons, to increase Greek aquaculture production, to safeguard and respect the environment and to improve aquaculture health measures in Greece; whereas the Member State considers that approximately ECU 95,5 million are necessary for the completion of the programme of which ECU 5,9 million represent the total investment in measures planned under the IMP's for 1992; whereas the approval of the programme is without prejudice to any later selection of individual investment projects;
Whereas the programme concerns all the structural policies implemented in the aquaculture sector of the Member State concerned;
Whereas the aquaculture sector is developing within a commercial framework, a feature of which is the growth of international competition; whereas the development of the market in aquaculture species could entail the need to adjust the objectives for the production of certain species;
Whereas flexible planning is required based on routine monitoring of the factors of production and market conditions; whereas a close watch needs to be kept on the programme, therefore, and this can only be done if reliable figures are available which are regularly updated and which apply to the national territory as a whole;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1992 to 1996), as forwarded by the Greek Government on 30 April 1991 and as last supplemented on 7 October 1991, the essential contents of which are set out in the Annex hereto, is hereby approved subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision.
1. The planning of the measures for the development and rationalization of aquaculture production corresponding to the investments provided for in the Annex hereto shall be carried out with due regard for the priorities set by the various Regulations governing the Community structural policies.
2. Special attention must be given during the implementation of the programme to the interaction between the development of the aquaculture sector and the environment and to the health conditions of fish farms and their products.
3. Preference shall be given to investment projects to which the Member State applies rules favourable to the development of aquaculture.
4. Preference shall be given to innovative projects based on adequate research work and ensuring in the long term the diversification of production.
5. The production objectives of the programme must be checked at regular intervals and adjusted, if necessary, in line with the development of the market for fishery and aquaculture products.
6. Special attention must be given during the implementation of the programme to controlling production costs.
7. Special attention must be given to the technical viability of shrimp farms and their long-term economic profitability.
The Commission shall inform the Member State, if necessary, within six months following 1 April each year, of the failure to comply with the conditions to which approval of the programme was made subject, on the basis of an examination of the periodic summary reports provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86, or in the absence thereof.

Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 10 March 2004
on the organisation and use of the airspace in the single European sky
(the airspace Regulation)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions(3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(4), in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on 11 December 2003,
Whereas:
(1) The creation of the single European sky requires a harmonised approach for regulation of the organisation and the use of airspace.
(2) In the report of the High Level Group on the single European sky in November 2000 it is considered that airspace should be designed, regulated and strategically managed on a European basis.
(3) The Communication of the Commission on the creation of the single European sky of 30 November 2001 calls for structural reform to permit the creation of the single European sky by way of a progressively more integrated management of airspace and the development of new concepts and procedures of air traffic management.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 (the framework Regulation)(5) lays down the framework for the creation of the single European sky.
(5) In Article 1 of the 1944 Chicago Convention on Civil Aviation, the Contracting States recognise that "every State has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory". It is within the framework of such sovereignty that the Member States of the Community, subject to applicable international conventions, exercise the powers of a public authority when controlling air traffic.
(6) Airspace is a common resource for all categories of users that needs to be used flexibly by all of them, ensuring fairness and transparency whilst taking into account security and defence needs of Member States and their commitments within international organisations.
(7) Efficient airspace management is fundamental to increasing the capacity of the air traffic services system, to providing the optimum response to various user requirements and to achieving the most flexible use of airspace.
(8) The activities of Eurocontrol confirm that the route network and airspace structure cannot realistically be developed in isolation, as each individual Member State is an integral element of the European air traffic management network (EATMN), both inside and outside the Community.
(9) A progressively more integrated operating airspace should be established for en-route general air traffic in the upper airspace; the interface between upper and lower airspace should be identified accordingly.
(10) A European upper flight information region (EUIR) encompassing the upper airspace under the responsibility of the Member States within the scope of this Regulation should facilitate common planning and aeronautical information publication in order to overcome regional bottlenecks.
(11) Airspace users face disparate conditions of access to, and freedom of movement within, the Community airspace. This is due to the lack of harmonisation in the classification of airspace.
(12) The reconfiguration of airspace should be based on operational requirements regardless of existing boundaries. Common general principles for creating uniform functional airspace blocks should be developed in consultation with and on the basis of technical advice from Eurocontrol.
(13) It is essential to achieve a common, harmonised airspace structure in terms of routes and sectors, to base the present and future organisation of airspace on common principles, and to design and manage airspace in accordance with harmonised rules.
(14) The concept of the flexible use of airspace should be applied effectively; it is necessary to optimise the use of sectors of airspace, especially during peak periods for general air traffic and in high-traffic airspace, by cooperation between Member States in respect of the use of such sectors for military operations and training. To that end, it is necessary to allocate the appropriate resources for an effective implementation of the concept of the flexible use of airspace, taking into account both civil and military requirements.
(15) Member States should endeavour to cooperate with neighbouring Member States to apply the concept of flexible use of airspace across national borders.
(16) Differences in the organisation of civil-military cooperation in the Community restrict uniform and timely airspace management and the implementation of changes. The success of the single European sky is dependent upon effective cooperation between civil and military authorities, without prejudice to the prerogatives and responsibilities of the Member States in the field of defence.
(17) Military operations and training should be safeguarded whenever the application of common principles and criteria is detrimental to their safe and efficient performance.
(18) Adequate measures should be introduced to improve the effectiveness of air traffic flow management in order to assist existing operational units, including the Eurocontrol Central Flow Management Unit, to ensure efficient flight operations.
(19) It is desirable to reflect upon the extension of upper airspace concepts to the lower airspace, in accordance with a timetable and appropriate studies,
Objective and scope
1. Within the scope of the framework Regulation, this Regulation concerns the organisation and the use of airspace in the Single European Sky. The objective of this Regulation is to support the concept of a progressively more integrated operating airspace within the context of the common transport policy and to establish common procedures for design, planning and management ensuring the efficient and safe performance of air traffic management.
2. The use of airspace shall support the operation of the air navigation services as a coherent and consistent whole in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the provision of air navigation services in the single European sky (the service provision Regulation)(6).
3. Without prejudice to Article 10, this Regulation shall apply to the airspace within the ICAO EUR and AFI regions where Member States are responsible for the provision of air traffic services in accordance with the service provision Regulation. Member States may also apply this Regulation to airspace under their responsibility within other ICAO regions, on condition that they inform the Commission and the other Member States thereof.
4. The Flight Information Regions comprised within the airspace to which this Regulation applies shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
CHAPTER II
AIRSPACE ARCHITECTURE
Division level
The division level between upper and lower airspace shall be set at flight level 285.
Deviations from the division level that are justified in the light of operational requirements may be decided upon in agreement with the Member States concerned in accordance with the procedure referred in Article 5(3) of the framework Regulation.
European upper flight information region (EUIR)
1. The Community and its Member States shall aim at the establishment and recognition by the ICAO of a single EUIR. To that effect, for matters which fall within the competence of the Community, the Commission shall submit a recommendation to the Council in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty at the latest within two years after the entry into force of this Regulation.
2. The EUIR shall be designed to encompass the airspace falling under the responsibility of the Member States in accordance with Article 1(3) and may also include airspace of European third countries.
3. The establishment of the EUIR shall be without prejudice to the responsibility of Member States for the designation of air traffic service providers for the airspace under their responsibility in accordance with Article 8(1) of the service provision Regulation.
4. Member States shall retain their responsibilities towards the ICAO within the geographical limits of the upper flight information regions and flight information regions entrusted to them by the ICAO on the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
5. Without prejudice to the publication by Member States of aeronautical information and in a manner consistent with this publication, the Commission, in close cooperation with Eurocontrol, shall coordinate the development of a single aeronautical information publication relating to the EUIR, taking account of relevant ICAO requirements.
Airspace classification
The Commission and the Member States shall design the EUIR in accordance with a progressive harmonisation of airspace classification, designed to ensure the seamless provision of air navigation services within the framework of the single European sky. This common approach shall be based on a simplified application of airspace classification, as defined within the Eurocontrol airspace strategy for the European Civil Aviation Conference States in accordance with ICAO standards.
The necessary implementing rules in this field shall be established in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 of the framework Regulation.
Reconfiguration of the upper airspace
1. With a view to achieving maximum capacity and efficiency of the air traffic management network within the single European sky, and with a view to maintaining a high level of safety, the upper airspace shall be reconfigured into functional airspace blocks.
2. Functional airspace blocks shall, inter alia:
(a) be supported by a safety case;
(b) enable optimum use of airspace, taking into account air traffic flows;
(c) be justified by their overall added value, including optimal use of technical and human resources, on the basis of cost-benefit analyses;
(d) ensure a fluent and flexible transfer of responsibility for air traffic control between air traffic service units;
(e) ensure compatibility between the configurations of upper and lower airspace;
(f) comply with conditions stemming from regional agreements concluded within the ICAO, and
(g) respect regional agreements in existence on the date of entry into force of this Regulation, in particular those involving European third countries.
3. Common general principles for the establishment and modification of functional airspace blocks shall be developed in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 of the framework Regulation.
4. A functional airspace block shall only be established by mutual agreement between all Member States who have responsibility for any part of the airspace included in the block, or by a declaration of one Member State if the airspace included in the block is wholly under its responsibility. The Member State(s) concerned shall only act after having consulted interested parties, including the Commission and the other Member States.
5. In a case where a functional airspace block relates to airspace that is wholly or partly under the responsibility of two or more Member States, the agreement by which the block is established shall contain the necessary provisions concerning the way in which the block can be modified and the way in which a Member State can withdraw from the block, including transitional arrangements.
6. Where difficulties arise between two or more Member States with regard to a cross-border functional airspace block which concerns airspace under their responsibility, the Member States concerned may jointly bring the matter to the Single Sky Committee for an opinion. The opinion shall be addressed to the Member States concerned. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, the Member States shall take such opinion into account in order to find a solution.
7. The decisions referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be notified to the Commission for publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Such publication shall specify the date of entry into force of the relevant decision.
Optimised route and sector design in the upper airspace
1. Common principles and criteria for route and sector design shall be established to ensure the safe, economically efficient and environmentally friendly use of airspace. Sector design shall be coherent inter alia with route design.
2. The implementing rules in the fields covered by paragraph 1 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 of the framework Regulation.
3. Decisions regarding the establishment or modification of routes and sectors shall require the approval of the Member States who have responsibility for the airspace to which such decisions apply.
CHAPTER III
FLEXIBLE USE OF AIRSPACE IN THE SINGLE EUROPEAN SKY
Flexible use of airspace
1. Taking into account the organisation of military aspects under their responsibility, Member States shall ensure the uniform application within the single European ky of the concept of the flexible use of airspace as described by the ICAO and as developed by Eurocontrol, in order to facilitate airspace management and air traffic management in the context of the common transport policy.
2. Member States shall report annually to the Commission on the application, in the context of the common transport policy, of the concept of the flexible use of airspace in respect of the airspace under their responsibility.
3. Where, in particular following the reports submitted by Member States, it becomes necessary to reinforce and harmonise the application of the concept of the flexible use of airspace within the single European sky, implementing rules within the context of the common transport policy shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 of the framework Regulation.
Temporary suspension
1. In cases where the application of Article 7 gives rise to significant operational difficulties, Member States may temporarily suspend such application on condition that they inform without delay the Commission and the other Member States thereof.
2. Following the introduction of a temporary suspension, adjustments to the rules adopted under Article 7(3) may be worked out for the airspace under the responsibility of the Member State(s) concerned, in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 of the framework Regulation.
Air traffic flow management
1. Implementing rules for air traffic flow management shall be established in accordance with the procedure under Article 8 of the framework Regulation, with a view to optimising available capacity in the use of airspace and enhancing air traffic flow management processes. These rules shall be based on transparency and efficiency, ensuring that capacity is provided in a flexible and timely manner, consistent with the recommendations of the ICAO regional air navigation plan, European Region.
2. The implementing rules shall support operational decisions by air navigation service providers, airport operators and airspace users and shall cover the following areas:
(a) flight planning;
(b) use of available airspace capacity during all phases of flight, including slot assignment; and
(c) use of routings by general air traffic, including
- the creation of a single publication for route and traffic orientation,
- options for diversion of general air traffic from congested areas, and
- priority rules regarding access to airspace for general air traffic, particularly during periods of congestion and crisis.
CHAPTER IV
FINAL PROVISIONS

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/40/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/493/EEC of 22 July 1991 laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products(1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An inspection has been carried out on behalf of the Commission in Guyana to verify the conditions under which fishery products are produced, stored and dispatched to the Community.
(2) The requirements in the legislation of Guyana on health inspection and monitoring of fishery products may be considered equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/493/EEC.
(3) In particular, the Veterinary Public Health Unit (VPHU), is capable of effectively verifying the implementation of the legislation in force.
(4) The VPHU has provided official assurances regarding compliance with the standards for health controls and monitoring of fishery products as set out in Chapter V of the Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC and regarding the fulfilment of hygienic requirements equivalent to those laid down by that Directive.
(5) It is appropriate to lay down detailed provisions concerning fishery products imported into the Community from Guyana, in accordance with Directive 91/493/EEC.
(6) It is also necessary to draw up a list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold stores, and a list of freezer vessels equipped in accordance with the requirements of Council Directive 92/48/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the minimum hygiene rules applicable to fishery products caught on board of certain vessels in accordance with Article 3(1)(a)(i) of Directive 91/493/EEC(2). Those lists should be drawn up on the basis of a communication from the VPHU to the Commission.
(7) Since the imports of fishery products from Guyana will be authorized for the first time by the present decision there is no need for a transitional period, and a period of three days is sufficient to ensure the publicity of the authorization. Therefore, imports from this country may be permitted three days after the publication of the present Decision in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Veterinary Public Health Unit (VPHU), shall be the competent authority in Guyana identified for the purposes of verifying and certifying compliance of fishery products with the requirements of Directive 91/493/EEC.
Fishery products imported into the Community from Guyana shall meet the requirements set out in Articles 3, 4 and 5.
1. Each consignment shall be accompanied by a numbered original health certificate in accordance with the model set out in Annex I and comprising a single sheet, duly completed, signed and dated.
2. The health certificate shall be drawn up in at least one official language of the Member State where the checks are carried out.
3. The health certificate shall bear the name, capacity and signature of the representative of the VPHU, and the latter's official stamp in a colour different from that of the endorsements.
The fishery products shall come from approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold stores, or from registered freezer vessels listed in Annex II.
All packages shall bear the word "GUYANA" and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin in indelible letters, except in the case of frozen fishery products in bulk and intended for the manufacture of preserved foods.

on the request presented by the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy
(notified under document number C(2005) 411)
(Only the English, French and Dutch texts are authentic)
(2005/322/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 27 January 2005, the United Kingdom consulted the Commission pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 on the extension of a domestic ban on pair trawling for bass within the 12 miles limit off the south-west coast of England to vessels of other Member States having fishing access to this area, with a view to reducing the by-catch of cetaceans as an interim step until more effective, coordinated action at Community level is possible. When presenting this request, the authorities of the United Kingdom referred to their concerns about levels of by-catch of common dolphins in the bass pair trawl fishery and to the Commission decision to reject their case for an emergency closure of this fishery in the Western Channel (ICES division VIIe) (2).
(2) According to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, French and Belgian vessels are authorised to fish for demersal species in the 6 to 12 mile area and would therefore be concerned by the draft measures proposed by the United Kingdom.
(3) In accordance with the conditions stipulated in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, the United Kingdom has communicated its request to the concerned Member States. Within the deadline of five working days laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, the Commission has received written comments from France, inviting the Commission not to accept the United Kingdom’s request.
(4) The Commission is concerned by the by-catch of cetaceans, which are protected by Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (3), observed in some fisheries and is fully committed to reduce as much as possible the number of such animals drowning in fishing gear. Community action has been taken recently through Council Regulation (EC) No 812/2004 of 26 April 2004 laying down measures concerning incidental catches of cetaceans in fisheries and amending Regulation (EC) No 88/98 (4).
(5) The abovementioned Regulation provides for observers to be placed on vessels conducting pair trawl fisheries as from 1 January 2005. The issue of cetacean by-catch in pelagic pair trawling is a complex one and was specifically addressed as part of the comprehensive scientific review and advice given by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) on cetacean by-catch in fisheries (5). ICES indicated that ‘other fisheries than pair trawling for bass also catch dolphins’ and that ‘there is a need for a comprehensive monitoring of the numerous trawl fisheries active in this region before we can be precise about mitigation requirements’. ICES considered in particular that a ‘ban on pelagic pair trawling for bass’ would be an ‘arbitrary measure, unlikely to achieve the desired goal’. A prohibition on the use of pair trawls to target sea bass in the United Kingdom inshore waters in the Western Channel is likely to result in a redistribution of fishing effort into adjacent areas, without necessarily reducing the by-catch of common dolphins.
(6) Although pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 a Member State may take measures in order to minimise the impact of fishing activities on marine ecosystems, according to the scientific information available the proposed measure is not likely to contribute to that objective.
(7) This reasoning was one of the reasons for the Commission decision to reject the United Kingdom’s request for emergency action to ban pelagic trawling for bass in the Western Channel in August 2004. Since then, no new scientific information has been made available that could justify a change in this analysis.
(8) The Commission considers that the issue of cetacean by-catch in pelagic trawls should be addressed in an effective and coordinated manner, based on sound scientific understanding of the nature and the scale of the problem. In order to achieve this, the Commission is financially supporting scientific studies and research to develop mitigation measures for by-catch of cetaceans in pelagic trawl fisheries or to update the scientific estimates of the abundance of small cetaceans in European Atlantic waters. These studies and research projects, in combination with data on by-catch of cetaceans in a large number of fisheries that will be made available through the Community observer programme, are designed to provide, within a reasonable timeframe, a technical basis for targeted and effective management measures to limit the effects of fishing on cetaceans. As soon as this information becomes available, the Commission will propose, where appropriate, necessary measures in close cooperation with all interested parties.
(9) In conclusion, the request submitted by the United Kingdom cannot be accepted,
The request submitted by the United Kingdom under Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 to extend the closure of the pair trawl fishery for bass within 12 miles of the south-west coast of England to vessels of other Member States is rejected.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the French Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

(3) Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, prices on the international market. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Tomatoes, oranges, lemons and apples of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to proceed by an open invitation to tender and to set the indicative refund amount and the scheduled quantities for the period concerned.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. An invitation to tender for the allocation of A3 export licences is hereby opened. The products concerned, the tender submission period, the indicative refund rates and the scheduled quantities are laid down in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
3. Notwithstanding Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of the A3 licences shall be two months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 May 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 28 September 2011
setting up the Group of Experts on Corruption
2011/C 286/03
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) Article 67(3) of the Treaty assigned the European Union the task of ensuring a high level of security within the area of freedom, security and justice. To achieve that objective it is necessary to prevent and combat crime, organised and other, including corruption.
(2) The Stockholm programme — An open and secure Europe serving and protecting the citizens (1), adopted by the European Council on 10 and 11 December 2009, invites the Commission to develop indicators, on the basis of existing systems and common criteria, to measure efforts in the fight against corruption, in particular in the areas of the acquis (public procurement, financial control, etc.).
(3) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council of 22 November 2010 on the EU Internal Security Strategy in Action: Five steps towards a more secure Europe (2) stresses that sustaining political will to combat corruption is of key importance and that action at Union level and sharing of best practices is necessary. It announces a Commission proposal in 2011 on how to monitor and assist Member States' anti-corruption efforts.
(4) The Commission Decision of 6 June 2011 establishing an EU anti-corruption reporting mechanism for periodic assessment (‘EU Anti-Corruption Report’) (3) lays down the objectives and the necessary elements for the implementation of the EU Anti-Corruption Report. In accordance with that Decision, that report is to be published every two years, starting in 2013. The Report is to be managed by the Commission, assisted by an expert group appointed by the Commission following an open call procedure. The members of the expert group must have undisputed expertise, a high level of integrity and a reputation in the field of fighting corruption.
(5) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee of 6 June 2011 on fighting corruption in the EU (4) provides that the experts who are to assist the Commission in the work on the EU Anti-Corruption Report may come from a wide range of backgrounds, such as law enforcement, prevention, civil society, and must undertake to act in their personal professional capacity.
(6) It is therefore necessary to set up a group of experts in the field of anti-corruption and to define its tasks and its structure.
(7) The group should support the Commission's work on the EU Anti-Corruption Report and on any future Union policies deriving from it. In particular, the group should advise on matters such as: identifying cross-cutting and country-specific issues to be covered by each report, developing indicators, assessing the Member States' performance, identifying best practices, identifying EU trends, making recommendations and proposing EU measures where appropriate.
(8) The group should be composed of 17 members and ensure a balanced representation in terms of institutional and professional background and geographic regions.
(9) Rules should be laid down on disclosure of information by members of the group.
(10) Personal data relating to members of the group should be processed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).
(11) The term of office of the members should be four years and should be renewable,
Subject matter
The Group of Experts on Corruption, hereinafter referred to as ‘the group’, is hereby set up.
Tasks

Whereas, pursuant to the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, oak wood with bark attached, originating in North American countries, may, in principle, not be introduced into the Community because of the risk of introducing Ceratocystis fagacearum, the cause of oak wilt;
Whereas, however, Article 14 (3) of the said Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas Commission Decisions 85/634/EEC (3), 89/256/EEC (4), 90/548/EEC (5) and 91/21/EEC (6), permit derogations for oak wood originating in Canada and the United States of America for a given period, subject to its revision in the light of experience to be gained;

(b) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
'The aid provided for in Article 1 (2) and (3), at farm gate, shall be:

Whereas the Economic and Social Committee, in its Opinion of 24 November 1971, expressed a similar view;
Whereas the situation in the Member States clearly demonstrates the need for the two sides of agriculture to participate actively in the improvement and harmonization of living and working conditions of agricultural workers ; whereas a Joint Committee attached to the Commission is the most appropriate means of ensuring such participation by creating at Community level a forum for interlocutors who represent the socio-economic elements involved,
The Commission hereby creates a Joint Committee on Social Problems of Agricultural Workers (hereinafter called the "Committee").
The Committee shall assist the Commission in the formulation and implementation of the Community social policy aimed at improving and harmonizing the living and working conditions of agricultural workers.

concerning the placing on the market, in accordance with Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of a maize product (Zea mays L., line 1507) genetically modified for resistance to certain lepidopteran pests and for tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium
(notified under document number C(2005) 4192)
(Only the Dutch text is authentic)
(2005/772/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 18(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC, the placing on the market of a product containing or consisting of a genetically modified organism or a combination of genetically modified organisms is subject to written consent being granted by the competent authority of a Member State, in accordance with the procedure laid down in that Directive.
(2) A notification concerning the placing on the market of a genetically modified maize product (Zea mays L., line 1507) was submitted by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, INC and Mycogen Seeds to the competent authority of the Netherlands (ref C/NL/00/10).
(3) The notification covers importation and use as for any other maize grains including feed, with the exception of cultivation and uses as or in food, in the Community, of varieties derived from the 1507 transformation event.
(4) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 14 of Directive 2001/18/EC, the competent authority of the Netherlands prepared an assessment report, which was submitted to the Commission and the competent authorities of the other Member States; whereby the assessment report concluded that no reasons have emerged on the basis of which consent for the placing on the market of Zea mays L. line 1507 should be withheld, provided that specific conditions are fulfilled.
(5) The competent authorities of other Member States raised objections to the placing on the market of the product.
(6) The opinion adopted on 24 September 2004 by the European Food Safety Authority, concluded that Zea mays L. line 1507 is unlikely to have an adverse effect on human and animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed use. The European Food Safety Authority also deemed that the monitoring plan provided by the applicant was in line with the intended uses of 1507 maize.
(7) An examination of each of the objections in the light of Directive 2001/18/EC, of the information submitted in the notification and of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, discloses no reason to believe that the placing on the market of Zea mays L. line 1507 will adversely affect human or animal health or the environment.
(8) A unique identifier should be assigned to the 1507 maize for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms and amending Directive 2001/18/EC (2) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (3).
(9) Adventitious or technically unavoidable traces of genetically modified organisms in products are exempted from labelling and traceability requirements in accordance with thresholds established under Directive 2001/18/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (4).
(10) In view of the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, it is not necessary to establish specific conditions for the intended uses with regard to the handling or packaging of the product and the protection of particular ecosystems, environments or geographical areas.
(11) Prior to the placing on the market of the product, the necessary measures to ensure its labelling and traceability at all stages of its placing on the market, including verification by appropriate validated detection methodology, should be applicable.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 30 of Directive 2001/18/EC and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 8/2002
of 4 January 2002
opening an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the Community has undertaken to import a certain quantity of sorghum into Spain.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(4), lays down the rules governing the administration of those special arrangements. This Regulation lays down the special additional detailed rules necessary for implementing the invitation to tender, in particular those relating to the lodging and release of the security to be lodged by operators to ensure compliance with their obligations and, in particular the obligation to process or use the imported product on the Spanish market.
(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 of 20 July 1998 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 715/90(5) provides in particular for a reduction of 60 % in the duty applicable to grain sorghum up to a quota of 100000 tonnes per calendar year and of 50 % in excess of that quota. If that benefit is combined with the reduction provided for under this Regulation, this is likely to disturb the Spanish market for cereals. Such combined benefits should be ruled out for the sake of the satisfactory functioning of the invitation to tender.
(4) In the light of current market needs in Spain an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on imports of sorghum should be opened in the framework of these special arrangements for imports.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import duty referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on sorghum to be imported into Spain.
2. Under this invitation to tender, the reduction in the import duty on grain sorghum provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 shall not apply.
3. The invitation to tender shall be open until 21 March 2002. During that period, weekly invitations shall be issued with quantities and closing dates as shown in the notice of invitation to tender.
4. Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 shall apply save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
Import licences issued under these invitations to tender shall be valid 50 days from the date they are issued, within the meaning of Article 10(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(3) On the basis of the criteria laid down in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2692/89, a maximum subsidy should not be fixed.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
No action shall be taken on the tenders submitted from 11 to 14 November 2002 in response to the invitation to tender referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1895/2002 for the subsidy on exports to Réunion of husked long grain B rice falling within CN code 1006 20 98.
