THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions, the Committee pursuant to Article 147 of the Treaty and the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 et seq. of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lay down the procedure for preparing and implementing Single Programming Documents.
(2) Article 15(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides that, after consultation with the partners referred to in Article 8 of the Regulation, the Member State may submit to the Commission a development plan which is treated as a draft Single Programming Document, and which contains the information referred to in Article 16 of the Regulation.
(3) Under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, on the basis of the regional development plan submitted by the Member State and within the partnership established in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation, the Commission is to take a decision on the Single Programming Document, in agreement with the Member State concerned and in accordance with the procedures laid down in Articles 48 to 51.
(4) The French Government submitted to the Commission on 20 April 2000 an acceptable draft Single Programming Document for the region of Picardy fulfilling the conditions for Objective 2 pursuant to Article 4(1) and qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. As permitted by Article 40(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(2), the draft includes rural development measures other than those referred to in Article 35(1) of the Regulation. It also includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section.
(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000 the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 1 January 2000 in the case of the Structural Funds. In the case of the EAGGF Guarantee Section, Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2603/1999(3) provides that the expenditure is eligible only if it has actually been paid to the beneficiary after the date of submission of the programme. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.
(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures, by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.
(7) The Single Programming Document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.
(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the Single Programming Document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.
(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.
(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.
(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.
(12) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this Single Programming Document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Picardy in France eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objective 2 for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved.
1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Single Programming Document includes the following elements:
(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of France.
The priorities are as follows:
1. eligible urban areas on the Oise;
2. training, placement and equal opportunities;
3. economic and cultural development;
4. the environment;
5. increasing inter-area cooperation on structural collective projects;
6. technical assistance;
7. rural development;
(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;
(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and the other financial instruments, including the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the Single Programming Document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;
(d) the provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the Single Programming Document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;
(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.
2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 1138732552 for the whole period, the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 254289450 and that from the EAGGF Guarantee Section at EUR 4573000.
The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 348738762 from the public sector and EUR 531131340 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.
3. The rate of part financing by the EAGGF Guarantee Section for each rural development measure is given in the Single Programming Document. The rate of part-financing by the EAGGF at the level of the sub-measure or action is given in the programme complement provided for in Article 19(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and shall be valid for at least one financial year.
1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the Single Programming Document amounts to EUR 254289450, to which the EAGGF Guarantee Section will contribute a further EUR 4573000.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the Single Programming Document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.
2. The indicative initial estimated breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:
>TABLE>
3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the Single Programming Document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1.
This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 to certain categories of horizontal State aid(4). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.
Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for state aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.
By way of derogation from the preceding paragraphs, Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 shall apply in the context of rural development part financed by the EAGGF.
The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000 for the Structural Funds and 20 April 2000 for the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008 for the Structural Funds. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the area receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.
The final date for the EAGGF Guarantee Section to take account of payments made by the paying bodies under this programming document shall be 31 December 2006.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), and in particular Article 13a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Traditional knowledge of farmers combined with recent results from research indicate that some species of Leguminosae and Plantago lanceolata not listed in Council Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC (2), 2002/55/EC (3) or 2002/57/EC (4) (hereinafter the existing legislation), in particular when used in mixtures with species covered by the existing legislation, are interesting for fodder production permitting a balanced feeding of animals throughout the year while at the same time contributing to the rehabilitation of soils in non-arable or marginal cropping lands. It is the case for Biserrula pelecinus, Lotus glaber, Lotus uliginosus, Medicago italica, Medicago littoralis, Medicago murex, Medicago polymorpha, Medicago rugosa, Medicago scutelatta, Medicago truncatula, Ornithopus compressus, Ornithopus sativus, Plantago lanceolata, Trifolium fragiferum, Trifolium glanduliferum, Trifolium hirtum, Trifolium michelianum, Trifolium squarrosum, Trifolium subterraneum, Trifolium vesiculosum, and Vicia benghalensis (hereinafter species referred to in recital 1).
(2) In accordance with the second indent of Article 13(1) of Directive 66/401/EEC only seeds of plant species listed in the existing legislation, with the exception of the varieties mentioned in Article 4(2) of Council Directive 2002/53/EC (5), may be marketed throughout the Community in seed mixtures intended for use as fodder plants. In the absence of the possibility to market mixtures containing seed of the species referred to in recital 1, farmers wishing to make use of those species, have to transport and sow them as individual species, or in certain cases, prepare mixtures themselves at the farm, involving additional cost and work. In addition, there is an increased risk that the different species included in the mixture will be unevenly distributed on the field since the mixtures are not prepared by professionals.
(3) To allow the species referred to in recital 1 to be marketed in such mixtures it would be necessary to amend Article 2(1)(A) of Directive 66/401/EEC by including those species in that provision.
(4) In order to decide about such an amendment to Article 2(1)(A) of Directive 66/401/EEC, it is necessary to gather information on the marketing of mixtures containing the species referred to in recital 1. In particular it needs to be verified, whether, where those species are used in mixtures, it is possible to confirm by official post-control that the percentage of seed of each component indicated on the label of the package corresponds to the composition of the mixture and whether mixtures of the same lot are homogeneous in all packages marketed. In the absence of that information, it would be impossible to guarantee to users that the seed of mixtures containing species referred to in recital 1 will provide high-quality results.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to organise a temporary experiment to verify whether the species referred to in recital 1 fulfil the requirements for being included in Article 2(1)(A) of Directive 66/401/EEC.
(6) Member States participating in the experiment should be released from the obligations set out in the second indent of Article 13(1) of Directive 66/401/EEC with respect to the species referred to in recital 1. They should allow the placing on the market of mixtures containing those species under certain conditions.
(7) It is appropriate to provide for specific requirements for the certification of the species referred to in recital 1 in order to ensure that the seed of these species fulfils the same requirements in all participating Member States. These requirements should be based on the conditions set out in OECD Certification Schemes for the Varietal Certification or the Control of Seed Moving in International Trade (hereinafter: OECD Schemes) or in the national standards of the Member State in which the seed is produced.
(8) In addition to the general conditions provided for in Commission Decision 2004/371/EC of 20 April 2004 on conditions for the placing on the market of seed mixtures intended for use as fodder plants (6), specific conditions should be set out for the marketing of mixtures under the experiment. Those conditions should ensure the collection of sufficient information for the assessment of the experiment. It is, therefore, necessary to provide for rules on labelling, monitoring and reporting.
(9) Given the experimental nature of the measure provided for by this Decision, a maximum quantity for the marketing of seed mixtures should be fixed, taking into account the need to test different mixtures using existing facilities.
(10) To allow Member States to verify that the maximum quantity is not exceeded, firms intending to produce such seed mixtures should communicate to the Member States concerned the quantities they intend to produce. Member States should have the possibility to prohibit the marketing of seed mixtures where they consider this necessary in view of the need to test different mixtures without exceeding the maximum quantity.
(11) In order to allow suppliers to produce and market a sufficient quantity of seed and to permit the competent authorities to inspect that material and collect sufficient and comparable information to be used for the preparation of the report, the experiment should take place over a period of at least five marketing seasons.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Subject matter

of 22 July 2004
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
(2) In order to determine the added sugar content of fruit juices of heading 2009, Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 incorporated, in additional note 5(a) to Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature, certain values laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 of 28 June 1968 on the common customs tariff (2). The value for apple juice was 11.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1776/2001 of 7 September 2001 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) inserted an additional note 5(b) to Chapter 20, amending additional note 5. According to additional note 5(b) fruit juices with added sugar only retain their original character of fruit juices of heading 2009 if their fruit juice content is 50 % or more.
(4) The method of calculating fruit juice content using the Brix value determined in accordance with additional note 2(b) to Chapter 20 and the standard value used in additional note 5(a) to Chapter 20 is described in the Combined Nomenclature explanatory note to heading 2009 (4).
(5) Following the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1776/2001 and the explanatory note to heading 2009, it was found that some concentrated apple juice of a Brix value of less than 67 was excluded from heading 2009 by virtue of additional note 5 and on the basis of the apple juice content calculated in accordance with the explanatory note, even though it was natural apple juice with no added sugar, from which water had been removed to produce the concentrate.
(6) Scientific studies show that since 1968, when the standard figure of 11 for apple juice was introduced, new varieties of apple have been cultivated for the production of concentrated juice. Their high acidity means the unconcentrated juice can reach an average Brix value of 13. The 1968 figure of 11 should therefore be revised upwards to 13 to ensure that natural fruit juices made from the new apple varieties are not excluded from heading 2009.
(7) This means amending additional note 5(a) to Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature (Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87), by deleting the entry ‘— apple juice: 11’ and merging it with ‘— other fruit or vegetable juices, including mixtures of juices: 13’.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In additional note 5(a) to Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature at Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 the second indent ‘— apple juice: 11’ is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 82/471/EEC concerning certain products used in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An application for authorisation has been submitted for Candida guilliermondii, cultivated on substrates of vegetable origin, which belongs to the product group ‘1.2.1. yeasts cultivated on substrates of animal or vegetable origin’ set out in the Annex to Directive 82/471/EEC. This feed is a microbial product based on the spent cells remaining after the industrial production of citric acid by fermentation.
(2) The Scientific Panel on additives and products or substances used in animal feed of the European Food Safety Authority has delivered an opinion on the use of this product in feedingstuffs on 7 of June 2004, which concludes that the use of Candida guilliermondii cultivated on a substrate of vegetable origin (sugar cane molasses) does not present a risk to human health, animal health or the environment.
(3) The assessment of the request for authorisation submitted in respect of Candida guilliermondii cultivated on substrates of vegetable origin shows that this product meets the requirements laid down in Article 6(2) of Directive 82/471/EEC, under the conditions set out in the Annex.
(4) Directive 82/471/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Directive 82/471/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 30 June 2005 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular the third sentence of Article 21 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/458/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the marketing of vegetable seed (3), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC, and in particular the third sentence of Article 32 (2) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 21 (1) of Directive 70/457/EEC and Article 32 (1) of Directive 70/458/EEC, the Council shall determine, on a proposal from the Commission, whether the checks on practices for the maintenances of varieties carried out in third countries afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States;
Whereas by Decision 78/476/EEC (4), as last amended by Decision 88/574/EEC (5), the Council has determined the equivalence of those checks as regards a number of third countries;
Whereas, taking into account the fact that the information available did not enable this question to be determined as regards other third countries, and in order to prevent certain Member States' traditional trade patterns from being disturbed, Commission Decision 81/888/EEC (6), as last amended by Decision 88/480/EEC (7), extended until 30 June 1990, for certain third countries, the periods provided for in Article 21 (2) of Directive 70/457/EEC and in Article 32 (2) of Directive 70/458/EEC, during which Member States are free to take decisions themselves as regards checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties which had already been accepted or entered for acceptance before 1 July 1988 in the Member State making use of the authorization;
Whereas information presently available still does not enable this question to be determined as regards Switzerland in respect of agricultural and vegetable species, Finland and Japan in respect of agricultural species and Hungary, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan in respect of vegetable species;
Whereas, for the abovementioned reasons and under the same conditions, the periods provided for in Article 21 (2) of Directive 70/457/EEC and Article 32 (2) of Directive 70/458/EEC should therefore be extended once again as regards the aforementioned third countries; whereas this extension must be limited to the varieties which are accepted or entered for acceptance before 1 July 1990 in the Member State making use of the authorization;
Whereas, owing to changes in trade patterns, Member States no longer need to take decisions themselves or on practices for the maintenance of varieties of vegetable species in respect of Canada, Mexico or Turkey; whereas these third countries should therefore be excluded from the scope of Decision 81/888/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Article 1 of Decision 81/888/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In paragraph 1, '30 June 1990' is replaced by '30 June 1992';
2. In paragraph 2, 'Canada, Hungary, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey' is replaced by 'Hungary, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan' and '30 June 1990' is replaced by '30 June 1992';
3. In paragraph 3, '1 July 1988' is replaced by '1 July 1990'.

Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 institutes a system of processing quotas for the various groups of tobacco varieties; whereas the quantities available by group of varieties are allocated among the Member States by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2076/92 of 30 June 1992 fixing the premiums for leaf tobacco by group of tobacco varieties and the processing quotas allocated by group of varieties and by Member State (2);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 648/93 (4), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the quota system for the 1993 and 1994 harvests; whereas it appears that quantities of quotas for certain groups of varieties may remain available in Greece after the distribution of the quantities to those who can claim entitlement to same; whereas, on the other hand, the quota for the flue-cured may provide prove be insufficient; whereas this shortage may nullify the conversion programmes approved before 1 January 1992 but not yet executed on that date;
Whereas pursuant to Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92, Greece should be authorized, on a temporary basis and only for the 1993 harvest, to transfer quantities of its quotas which will remain available following allocation, in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92, to the flue-cured group of varieties;
Whereas the increase in the quota of a group of varieties as a result of this transfer must not lead to additional EAGGF expenditure;
Whereas this Regulation must be applied from the date prescribed by Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92 for the allocation of the quotas;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
1. For the 1993 harvest, Greece is hereby authorized to transfer tobacco threshold quantities which remain available following distribution of the quotas as provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92, to the flue-cured group of varieties. The additional quantities thus granted to the flue-cured group of varieties shall be allocated to the producers or groups of producers who commited themselves before 1 January 1992 to an approved programme to convert to flue-cured tobacco, which was implemented after that date.
2. The quantities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be limited to 200 tonnes of Katerini, 600 tonnes of light air-cured and 200 tonnes of sun-cured.
3. Subject to the application of paragraph 4, a one tonne reduction in the threshold quantity of a group of varieties shall give rise to a one tonne increase in the flue-cured group of varieties.
4. The increase in the threshold quantity of the flue-cured group of varieties shall not exceed the quantity giving rise to EAGGF expenditure equivalent to the expenditure saved as a result of the drop in the threshold quantities for the other groups of varieties.
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 31 March 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

1999/27/EC: Council Decision of 17 December 1998 on a specific measure to encourage diversification out of certain fishing activities and amending Decision 97/292/EC
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 17 December 1998 on a specific measure to encourage diversification out of certain fishing activities and amending Decision 97/292/EC (1999/27/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
(1) Whereas, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/93 of 20 July 1993 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the financial instrument of fisheries guidance (3), specific measures may be financed by that instrument;
(2) Whereas Article 11a of Council Regulation (EC) No 894/97 of 29 April 1997 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (4) prohibits the use of drift nets intended for the capture of certain species from 1 January 2002;
(3) Whereas this Decision will have unfavourable economic and social repercussions in the short term for a number of fishing fleets, thus justifying at Community level an appropriate range of actions and special supporting measures for fishermen serving on board and the owners of fishing vessels; whereas the measures concerned will have to be exceptional in character, however, and in any event be met from the budget for the affected Member States' existing structural programmes;
(4) Whereas it is consequently appropriate to derogate temporarily from the criteria for eligibility under the financial instrument for fisheries guidance, hereinafter referred to as 'FIFG` and, if necessary, adjust the upper limit on the relevant eligible expenditure;
(5) Whereas a specific number of fishing vessels flying the Spanish, French, Irish, Italian and United Kingdom flags are affected by the ban on fishing with drift nets imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1239/98; whereas on 28 April 1997 the Council adopted Decision 97/292/EC on a specific measure to encourage Italian fishermen to diversify out of certain fishing activities (5); whereas there is therefore no need to adopt a new specific measure for the said Italian fishermen; whereas, however, for the sake of clarity, that Decision should be amended to list the cases where aid may be cumulated;
(6) Whereas most of the possible measures fall within the scope of the FIFG as laid down by Council Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 of 21 December 1993 laying down the criteria and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the processing and marketing of its products (6); whereas they will be financed from the FIFG following normal procedures;
(7) Whereas the Member States who wish to avail themselves of the specific measures proposed must draw up conversion plans for this purpose;
(8) Whereas, so as to ensure that compensation is granted only to fishermen and owners of vessels whose income depends on fishing with drift nets as banned by the Council, it must be specified that the fishermen and vessels concerned must have practised these activities in 1995, 1996 or 1997; whereas provision should also be made for effective variation in the amounts of compensation depending in particular on the extent to which these activities are actually practised, the cost of conversion and the age of the vessels;
(9) Whereas the authorities of the Member States concerned must ensure, when implementing their conversion plan, that beneficiaries may not receive aid other than that provided for under this Decision nor obtain other financial incentives which would not be justified; whereas in particular, rules should be laid down governing cumulation provided for by this specific measure with aid paid before 1998 pursuant 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 (7) or Regulation (EC) No 3699/93;
(10) Whereas the final date for implementing this specific measure must not be later than the date on which the ban on fishing with drift nets comes into force; whereas in any case the commitment by the Member States of the necessary financial means up until 31 December 1999, and booking of the expenditure up until 31 December 2001, are compatible with the Structural Funds' regulations,
1. In connection with the ban on fishing with drift nets laid down by Regulation (EC) No 894/97, Member States availing themselves of the specific measure provided for in paragraph 2 shall draw up a conversion plan and communicate it to the Commission. The conversion plans shall be examined by the monitoring committees for the programmes referred to in Article 5(2) of this Decision.
2. To implement the plans referred to in paragraph 1, a specific measure shall be established to grant aid to fishermen and owners of vessels under the conditions laid down in Articles 2 to 6 of this Decision.
Fishermen who are nationals of a Member State and worked in 1995, 1996 or 1997 on board a fishing vessel flying the Spanish, French, Irish or United Kingdom flag, using one or more drift nets intended for the capture of the species listed in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 894/97, may receive:
(a) an individual compensatory payment of up to a maximum of ECU 50 000 if they cease all economic activity before 1 January 2002; this payment:
(i) may be cumulated with benefits from early-retirement schemes provided for by the legislation of the Member State concerned, including when the early-retirement scheme in question is part-financed by the FIFG pursuant to Article 14a(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93;
(ii) may not be cumulated with the individual compensatory payment provided for in Article 14a(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93;
(b) an individual compensatory payment of up to a maximum of ECU 20 000, in the case of conversion to another fishing activity or another sector before 1 January 2002. This payment may be cumulated with the individual compensatory payment pursuant to Article 14a(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 and, if appropriate, with the aid provided for in Title III of that Regulation.
Owners of a fishing vessel flying the Spanish, French, Irish or United Kingdom flag, which have used one or more drift nets intended for the capture of the species listed in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 894/97 in 1995, 1996 or 1997, may obtain for those vessels:
(a) a compensatory payment of an amount up to the maximum listed in Annex I to this Decision, for the permanent cessation of all fishing activity before 1 January 2002; this payment:
(i) may be cumulated with aid for the permanent cessation of fishing activities provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93;
(ii) may be granted only if the vessel concerned is more than 10 years old;
(b) a compensatory payment of an amount up to the maximum listed in Annex I to this Decision, in the case of permanent conversion to another fishing activity before 1 January 2002; this payment may be cumulated with aid for the modernisation of the vessel provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 which would be granted in 1998 or in 1999, under the conditions for derogation laid down in Annex II to this Decision. The amount of this payment shall be deducted pro rata temporis from any aid for permanent transfer to a third country or for setting up joint enterprises under Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 granted for the same vessel within the following five years.
1. Member States shall restrict benefit of the measures laid down in Articles 2 and 3 to fishermen and owners of vessels who prove that they will actually suffer loss as a result of the ban on fishing referred to in Article 1(1).
2. When establishing the actual individual amount of the payments provided for in Articles 2 and 3, Member States shall take particular account of:
(a) the actual extent of use by the beneficiaries (fishermen and owners of vessels), during the reference period, of the drift nets covered by the ban referred to in Article 1(1);
(b) the cost of conversion;
(c) the age of the vessels.
1. The public financial contribution, including that of the Community, to measures pursuant to this Decision shall cover all eligible costs up to the maximum amounts laid down in Articles 2 and 3.
2. The Community contribution may amount to a maximum of 50 % of eligible costs incurred by the Member States. It may not exceed the funding limits for the Member States concerned under the 1994 to 1999 Structural Fund programmes (Community support frameworks, operational programmes and single programming documents for Structural Fund Objectives 1 and 5a).
3. Save as otherwise provided in this Decision, the payments provided for in Articles 2 and 3 shall be subject to the conditions governing the programmes referred to in paragraph 2; they must therefore be the subject of legally binding commitments in the Member States concerned for which the requisite finance must be specifically committed no later than 31 December 1999. The final date for booking expenditure on these measures shall be 31 December 2001.
Without prejudice to other provisions applicable and in particular those of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (8), the authorities of the Member States concerned shall send the Commission each year, at the latest by 1 April for the previous year, a report on the implementation of the conversion plan referred to in Article 1. They shall adopt the necessary provisions to prevent cumulation of compensatory payments and aid not expressly authorised by this Decision and any grant of compensatory payments and aid not justified.
Decision 97/292/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. (a) in Article 1(a), the terms 'on 22 July 1996` shall be replaced by 'in 1995, 1996 or 1997`;
(b) in the Annex, the title 'ANNEX` shall be replaced by 'ANNEX I`;
2. Article 1(b) and (c) shall be replaced by the following:

(ii) may be granted only if the vessel concerned is more than 10 years old;
(c) to vessel owners who have undertaken to diversify definitively towards another fishing activity. The premium for diversifying shall be as set out in Table B in Annex I. This premium may be cumulated with aid for the modernisation of the vessel provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 granted in 1998 or 1999 under the conditions for derogation provided for in Annex II. The amount of this aid shall be deducted pro rata temporis from any aid for permanent transfer to a third country or for setting up joint enterprises pursuant to Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 granted for the same vessel within the following five years.`;3. the following Annex shall be added:
'ANNEX II
Notwithstanding the conditions laid down in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 3699/93, the aid for the modernisation of vessels in receipt of the diversification premium provided for in Article 1(c) of this Decision shall be amended as follows: in point 1.4 (scales of assistance relating to fishing fleets - modernisation aid), the maximum of 50 % shall be replaced by 75 %.`

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 171 and 358 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85 of 4 November 1985 laying down general rules for the granting of compensatory allowances for sardines (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85 sets out the conditions for the granting of compensatory allowances, as regards eligible products and forms of processing, the limit of 43 000 tonnes and the beneficiaries of the scheme, and fixes the method of calculating the said allowance;
Whereas this scheme must be applied to those categories of sardines which are likely to be marketed most easily after processing;
Whereas the health and technical provisions laid down by the national authorities ensure that the products in question have been subjected fully and definitively to one of the processes referred to in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85; whereas compliance of the processed products in question with the said provisions should be subject to verification;
Whereas the responsibility for deciding the quantities in respect of which each producer established on its territory is eligible for the allowance should be left to the Member States;
Whereas, in order to comply with the Community quantitative limit of 43 000 tonnes provided for this scheme, each Member State should inform the Commission at the beginning of the marketing year of overall quantities granted; whereas, where appropriate, it is necessary to provide for methods of reducing the overall quantities if the maximum quantitative limit is exceeded;
Whereas to ensure that payment of the said allowance for those quantities in respect of which entitlement is established takes place within a reasonable period, the maximum period for processing and the lodging by the processor of the application for payment of the allowance should be fixed at six months after the delivery date;
Whereas, to speed up payment of the allowance, provision should be made for the producer or producers' organization to issue a written attestation certifying that each quantity sold forms part of the quantity eligible for the allowance as determined for the producer or producers' organization concerned; whereas, moreover, for the purposes of checks on attestations issued, provision should made for Member States to exchange the necessary information relating to such attestations;
Whereas, in order to ensure constant control, those qualifying for the allowance must keep the inspection authority informed of their processing activities at all times;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (3) of the Treaty of Accession, the institutions of the Community may adopt before accession the measures referred to in Articles 171 and 358 of the Act;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the granting of the compensatory allowance, hereinafter referred to as the ‘allowance’, referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85 in respect of Mediterranean sardines.
1. The allowance shall be granted only in respect of sardines which are sold to a processor for the purposes of full and definitive processing under the conditions laid down by Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85, in accordance with the health and technical provisions relating to products intended for human consumption in force in the Member State where the processor is established.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, processor means any natural or legal person who:
— processes Mediterranean sardines by one of the methods provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85,
— satisfies the conditions laid down in the national legislation of the Member State concerned for processing by one of the said methods.
1. The quantity eligible for the allowance shall be determined annually for each marketing year and for each producer or producers' organization at its request, provisionally by the Member State where the producer or producers' organization is established, on the basis of the average annual quantity which the producer or the producers' organization sold to the Community processing industry for the purposes of processing operations eligible pursuant to this Regulation, during the reference period 1982 to 1984.
2. Member States shall notify the Commission, one month before the beginning of each marketing year, of the overall quantity eligible for the allowance as provisionally determined for the coming marketing year, broken down by category of product and processing operation. Furthermore, the Member States concerned shall forthwith inform the Commission of any change in this quantity.
Where the sum of the quantities provisionally determined by each of the Member States exceeds the ceiling provided for in the second indent of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3117/85, the Comission, after consulting the Member States concerned, shall decide the overall quantities eligible for the allowance or each Member State, according to the criteria set out in paragraph 1.
The Commission shall take a decision on the quantities concerned within a period of 30 days following notification thereof, failing which the quantities determined shall be considered to have been accepted.
3. Final allocation of the quantities referred to in paragraph 1 shall take place after the Commission has taken a decision on the overall quantity determined by each Member State, in accordance with paragraph 2.
1. The producer or producers' organization referred to in Article 3 (1) shall issue to the processor, at the time of each sale, a written attestation which shall include the name of the vendor, the name of the purchaser, the quantity and the price of products covered by the sale, and shall state that this quantity is part of the eligible quantity allocated to the producer or producers' organization in accordance with Article 3 (1).
The producer or producers' organization in question shall forward a copy of this attestation without delay to the Member State which fixed the eligible quantity.
2. Before the allowance is paid, the Member State in which the producer or producers' organization selling the product is established shall check that the aggregate of the quantities sold under each attestation does not exceed the eligible quantity allocated to the producer or producers' organization in question for the marketing year concerned.
3. Where the product is processed in a Member State other than that in which the vendor of the product is established, the Member State in which processing takes place shall forward each month to the Member State where the vendor of the product is established, with a view to the check referred to in paragraph 2, a list of the attestations which it received in the previous month in accordance with Article 5. The check shall be made immediately on receipt of the list in question and the outcome thereof shall be notified without delay to the Member State which had the check carried out.
4. In cases where the Member State carrying out the check referred to in paragraph 2 is unable to reach a final decision on a given attestation, this Member State shall request the producer or producers' organization which issued the attestation in question to justify the latter within a period not exceeding one month.
1. On completion of processing operations and not later than six months after the date of actual delivery of the products, the processor concerned may lodge an application for payment of the allowance.
2. The allowance shall be paid to the processor by the Member State where processing has taken place, upon submission of:
— the sales invoice or receipt for the product, which must state at least the names and addresses of the parties concerned and the quantity, the purchase price actually paid to the producer or to the producers' organization and the delivery date for each category of product purchased;
— proof of payment for the goods at the price referred to in the first indent;
— the attestation referred to in Article 4;
in respect of not more than the quantities eligible for the allowance as determined in accordance with Article 3 and after checking attestations pursuant to Article 4 (2).
3. Where the check referred to in Article 4 (2) indicates that the quantities sold by a producer or producers' organization exceed the eligible quantity allocated to the producer or producers' organization for the marketing year concerned or where the producers' organization fails to provide a satisfactory reply within the period specified in Article 4 (4), the allowance shall not be paid.
1. The Member States concerned shall set up a control system to verify the eligibility of products in respect of which the allowance has been applied for and compliance with the provisions of this Regulation.
2. The detailed rules for the operation of the control system shall be drawn up by the Member State and must include at least the following requirements:
— submission by the processor of the supporting documents used for determining his entitlement to payment of the allowance,
— the keeping, by the producer or the producers' organization, of records of sales made under the terms of this Regulaton specificy, for each sales operation, the date, purchaser, quantity and quality of the product sold,
— for the purposes of verifying full and definitive processing, the keeping of daily stock accounts by the processor showing, in particular:
— the quantity of product purchased, by species and category, the date of acceptance and the number of the invoice or receipt,
— the dates when processing began and ended,
— the quantity processed, by species, category and type of processing, and the place of processing,
— direct inspections in the processing industries concerned,
— definition of the particulars to be included in the application for the allowance referred to in Article 5.
1.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2002
of 11 July 2002
amending Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil for the 1998/1999, 1999/2000, 2000/2001, 2001/2002, 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 marketing years
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1639/98(4), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 of 20 July 1998 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(6), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 no olive grower aid may be paid in respect of additional olive trees planted after 1 May 1998 or those for which no crop declaration has been made by a date to be determined. Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2070/2001(8), provides that exclusion from the aid relates to the production of additional olive trees planted after 1 May 1998 or those planted after 1 November 1995 for which no crop declaration has been made by 1 April 1999. However, additional olive trees in connection with the conversion of an old olive plantation or covered by a programme approved by the Commission may qualify for aid.
(2) The production of the additional olive trees referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 is not significant in the first three years after planting. However, from the 2002/03 marketing year, the production from these trees will become significant and must be taken into consideration for the purposes of exclusion from the production aid scheme. It is therefore necessary to provide for a system of calculation based on the quantity of virgin oil produced, the number of olive trees in production planted before and after 1 May 1998, and coefficients allowing oil production from additional olive trees which is not eligible for aid to be deducted from overall production. These coefficients are established on the basis of the forecast evolution of yields in relation to the age of the plantings.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 is amended as follows:
1. The following Article 12a is inserted: "Article 12a
On the basis of the declarations referred to in Articles 2 and 5 and the aid applications referred to in Article 12, producer Member States shall determine the olive oil production of additional olive trees within the meaning of the first subparagraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1638/98 for the 2002/03 marketing year by multiplying the average yield per adult olive tree by the sum of:
- the number of additional olive trees planted between 1 May and 31 October 1998, multiplied by 0,70, and
- the number of additional olive trees planted between 1 November 1998 and 31 October 1999, multiplied by 0,35.
The average yield per adult olive tree shall be calculated by dividing the quantity of virgin olive oil produced from additional olive trees, as referred to in the first subparagraph, by the sum of:
- the number of olive trees in production planted before 1 May 1998, and
- the number of olive trees in production planted between 1 May and 31 October 1998, multiplied by 0,70, and
- the number of olive trees in production planted between 1 November 1998 and 31 October 1999, multiplied by 0,35."
2. The first subparagraph of Article 14(1) is replaced by the following: "1. Olive growers shall be eligible for aid in respect of the quantity of virgin olive oil they actually produce, minus the production of additional olive trees referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 12a, plus the flat-rate quantity of olive-residue oil provided for in paragraph 2."
3. Article 14(2) is replaced by the following: "2. The quantity of olive-residue oil on which the aid may be paid shall be equal to 8 % of the quantity of virgin olive oil, minus the production of the additional olive trees referred to in Article 12a, produced from the olives from which the residue has come and in respect of which entitlement to aid has been recognised in accordance with Article 2(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 November 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 82/606/EEC (1), as last amended by Directive 88/562/EEC (2), lays down that the Member States shall carry out during 1990 a survey on the earnings of permanent and seasonal workers employed in agriculture;
Whereas the experience gained from the 1984, 1986 and 1988 surveys shows that the periodicity of the said surveys laid down in the said Directive is not the most appropriate,
Article 1 (1) of Directive 82/606/EEC shall be replaced by the following text:
'1. The Member States shall carry out in 1984, and every two years thereafter, a survey on the actual earnings of male and female permanent full-time and/or seasonal workers employed in agriculture.
From 1988 onwards, the surveys shall be conducted every three years. However, Ireland may carry out the 1991 survey in 1992.
The categories of workers to be covered by this survey in each Member State are set out in Annex I.'

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3307/87
of 3 November 1987
determining the maximum amount of the compensation for tuna supplied to the canning industry for the period 1 June to 31 August 1986
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2315/86 (2), and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 of 17 May 1976 laying down general rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tuna for the canning industry (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas the detailed rules for granting the compensatory allowance were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2469/86 of 31 July 1986 laying down detailed rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tuna for the canning industry (4);
Whereas compensation is to be granted, if necessary, to Community producers of tuna in respect of tuna for the canning industry; whereas this measure was included in order to compensate Community producers for any disadvantages that may arise under the import arrangements; whereas by virtue of those arrangements a fall in the import prices for tuna could directly threaten the income level of Community producers of this product;
Whereas compensation is granted for the quantities of tuna supplied to the canning industry during the three-month period for which prices were recorded, where simultaneously the quarterly average price on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price are less than 90 % of the Community producer price and this fall in prices is occasioned by the level of prices on the world market in tuna and is not caused by an abnormal increase in the quantities produced by Community producers and landed in the Community;
Whereas, since the application of these arrangements to Spain and Portugal was postponed until 1 March 1986 in accordance with Article 394 of the Act of Accession, the situation on the markets in those two Member States can be assessed only on the basis of information covering each three-month period from 1 March 1986; whereas the market situation in Spain and Portugal should therefore be assessed on the basis of the situation prevailing from the second three-month period following that date and the maximum amount of the compensation fixed, where appropriate, for the period commencing on 1 June 1986;
Whereas an analysis of the situation on the market in tuna in Spain has shown that for certain species and presentations of the product considered, during the period 1 June to 31 August of the 1986 fishing year, both the quarterly average market price and the entry price referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 were less than 90 % of the Community producer price in force, as fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3605/85 of 17 December 1985 fixing the Community producer price for tuna intended for the canning industry for the 1986 fishing year (5);
Whereas the information currently available to the Commission does not suggest that the current level of prices on the Community market in Spain is caused by an abnormal increase in the quantities of Spanish production landed in the Community;
Whereas compensation should therefore be granted, for the period 1 June to 31 August 1986, to tuna producers established in Spain and the maximum amount of compensation for each of the products concerned should be fixed within the limits necessary to ensure that the fall in prices on the Community market does not threaten the income derived by producers of the products from the sale of the quantities produced, be it on the Community market or on that of third countries; whereas in order to assess the actual fall in income on the basis of available data, reference should be made to trends over a sufficiently representative period by means of appropriate criteria; whereas this maximum amount is fixed on the basis of data which, in the immediate future, of necessity reflect a situation which is fragmentary because limited to only part of the fishing year and as the year progresses it
will be necessary to take into account all the factors contributing to a more complete assessment of the situation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The compensation referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 shall apply for the period 1 June to 31 August 1986 to producers of tuna established in Member States other than Spain and Portugal for products intended for the canning industry in the Community within the following maximum amounts:
(ECU/tonne)
1.2 // // // Product // Maximum amount of compensation // // // Yellowfin tuna, whole, weighing more than 10 kg each // 76 // Yellowfin tuna, whole, weighing not more than 10 kg each // 79 // Whole skipjack // 0 // Big eye tuna // 0 // Albacore // 0 // //
2. The compensation shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2469/86.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 om common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1760/87 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas on 23 November 1987 the Spanish Government forwarded a specific programme concerning the olive oil sector and submitted supplementary information on 10 August 1988 and 22 September 1988;
Whereas the aim of this specific programme is to rationalize and adapt the processing and marketing of virgin olive oil in the Spanish autonomous regions of Andalusia, Castile-la-Mancha, Extremadura, Catalonia, Valencia, Aragon, Madrid, Castile-LĂŠon, Murcia and Balearics so as to increase the competitiveness of the sector and add value to its production; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas concern for the quality of virgin olive oil necessitates shorter storage periods for harvested olives prior to processing, it would be appropriate to amplify point B.6.23 of the Commission criteria for the choice of projects to be financed under Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 (3) to allow the programme to include investments involving an increase in oil crushing capacities in a mill even when proof is not given that corresponding capacity is abandoned in other mills, as long as such investments will serve that purpose;
Whereas approval of this programme cannot include investments in research and development, namely in the field of effluent treatment;
Whereas this programme contains sufficient information as prescribed by Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 to show that the aims set out in Article 1 of that Regulation can be achieved in the virgin olive oil sector in Spain;
Whereas the estimatesd time required for implementation of this programme does not exceed the period mentioned in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,
1. The programme for the virgin olive oil sector submitted by the Spanish Government on 23 November 1987, concerning which further particulars were provided on 10 August 1988 and 22 September 1988 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 is hereby approved.
2. Such approval does not extend to investments in research and development in the field of sewage disposal.
3. Approval of this programme also covers investments for the increase of the crushing capacity of mills provided such capacity is used to shorten storage periods for olives prior to crushing.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation EEC, Euratom No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 6(3) thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 386 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Hungary may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2) In its response of 29 April 2014 to the letter of 14 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), Hungary requested authorisation from the Commission to use a fixed percentage of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Hungary has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Hungary should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Decision 2005/818/EC, Euratom (4) accordingly,
In Decision 2005/818/EC, Euratom the following Article 1a is inserted:
‘Article 1a
By way of derogation from Article 1 of this Decision, for the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Hungary is authorised to use 0,18 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B, (passenger transport) to Council Directive 2006/112/EC (5).
This Decision is addressed to Hungary.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3790/87 (4), makes imports of certain textile products originating in certain non-member countries subject to Community surveillance;
Whereas Turkey has introduced administrative procedures to provide rapid information on the trend of trade in certain textile products;
Whereas a system of administrative cooperation has been established between the European Economic Community and Turkey with regard to trade in certain textile products referred in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas, in order to be effective, such administrative cooperation must have a consistent statistical basis;
Whereas it is appropriate that this Regulation should not apply in respect of those products referred to in the Annex to this Regulation, in so far as these originated in Turkey and have been introduced into the customs territory of the Community prior to its entry into force, but have not been released into free circulation in the Community,
Without prejudice to the other provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79, the import document referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation shall be issued or endorsed for the products listed in Annex I only on presentation of an export information document corresponding to the specimen shown in Annex II or, where appropriate, of an export information document relating to cottage industry and folklore products corresponding to the specimen shown in Annex III.
The said export information documents shall be issued by the Istanbul, Izmir (Smyrna) Çukurova and Bursa Garment Exporters' Associations.
Any export advice note should be presented to the competent authorities in the Member States within one month of its date of issue.
The import document referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 may be used for two months from the date of issue. In exceptional circumstances that period may be extended by a month.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) N° 4138/87
of 9 December 1987
determining the conditions under which contain potatoes, sweet corn, cereals, oil seeds and oleaginous fruit, for sowing, are eligible on import for a favourable tariff arrangement by reason of their end-use.
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87
of 23 July 1987, on the tariff and statistical nomenclature
and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular
Article II thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) N° 950/68 of 28 June 1968 on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3529/87 (3), established the Common Customs Tariff on the basis of the nomenclature of the Convention of 15 December 1950 concerning the nomenclature to be used for the classification of goods in customs tariffs;
Whereas, on the basis of Council Regulation (EEC) N° 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for the uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2055/84 (5), Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 1536/77 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1259/82 (7), determined the condition of entry of seeds under subheadings 07.01 A I, 10.01 A, 10.05 A, 10.06 A and 12.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 has repealed and replaced, on the one hand, Regulation (EEC) N° 950/68 in adopting the new tariff and statistical nomenclature (combined nomenclature) based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and, on the other hand, Regulation (EEC) N° 97/69; whereas it is consequently appropriate, for reasons
of clarity, to replace Regulation (EEC) N° 1536/77 by a
new regulation taking over the new nomenclature as well
as the new legal base; whereas, for the same reason, it is appropriate to incorporate in this new text all the amendments made to date; whereas it is also appropriate to add sorghum for which a new tariff line has recently been created;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2658/87 refers in the subheadings reproduced in Article 1 to potatoes, cereals, oils
seeds and oleaginous fruit, indicated in the respective subheadings; whereas entry under these subheadings is subject to the conditions laid down in the relevant Community provisions; whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions specifying those conditions must be laid down;
Whereas the Council has adopted Directive 66/403/EEC
of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (8), as
last amended by Directive 87/374/EEC (9), Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (10), as last amended by Directive 87/120/EEC (11) and which also refers to sweet corn seed and Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (12), as last amended by Directive 87/120/EEC;
Whereas Articles 15, 16 and 15 respectively of these Directives provide that the Council shall determine whether seeds harvested in a third country and affording the same assurances as regards their characteristics and the arrangements for their examination, for ensuring identity, for marking and for control are equivalent in these respects to seeds harvested within the Community and complying with the provisions of the Directive concerned;
Whereas the Council has made such determinations with regard to certain non-member countries,
- in the case of seed potatoes, by its Fourth Council Decision 81/956/EEC of 16 November 1981, on
the equivalence of seed potatoes produced in
third countries (13), as last amended by Decision 87/144/EEC (14),
- in the case of spelt, hybrid maize seed, rice straw, grain sorghum and oil seeds and oleoginous fruit, by its Seventh Council Decision 85/356/EEC of 27 June 1985, on the equivalence of seeds produced in third countries (15), as last amended by Decision 87/521/EEC (16) and by its
¹
¹
Seventh Council Decision 85/355/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed producing crops (1) as last amended by Decision 87/520/EEC (2).
Whereas it follows from the very terms in which the three abovementioned subheadings are drawn that products may be entered under one of these subheadings only if they have specific characteristics which make them suitable for sowing;
Whereas certain specific characteristics were prescribed by the Council when it determined that there was equivalence between the plants and seeds in question produced in certain non-member countries and plants and seeds of the same
kind harvested within the Community; whereas the said characteristics should therefore constitute the conditions of entry under the subheadings concerned;
Whereas, as regards spelt, rice, maize, sorghum, oil seeds and oleaginous fruit of a kind to which the provisions of Directives 66/402/EEC and 69/208/EEC do not apply, it is appropriate, pending harmonization at Community level of provisions for these goods and given that there is little trade in them, to make their entry under their respective subheadings referred to in Article 1 respectively subject to conditions to be established by the competent authorities of the Member States;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the Nomenclature Committee,
The entry of potatoes, sweet corn, cereals, oil seeds and oleaginous fruit, listed below, under their respective subheadings in the combined nomenclature shall be subject to the conditions laid down in Articles 2 to 5:
>TABLE>
Seed potatoes shall satisfy the conditions laid down in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 66/403/EEC.
Sweet corn, spelt, hybrid maize, rice and sorghum hybrid for sowing shall satisfy the conditions laid down in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 66/402/EEC.
Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits for sowing shall satisfy the conditions laid down in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 69/208/EEC.
Sweet corn, spelt, hybrid maize, rice, sorghum hybrid, oil seeds and oleaginous fruit of a kind to which the provisions of Directives 66/402/EEC and 69/208/EEC do not apply shall only be entered under the subheadings indicated in Article 1 if the party concerned proves to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member States that these products are in practice intended for sowing.
Regulation (EEC) N° 1536/77 is hereby repealed.
Each Member State shall inform the Commission of the steps taken by its central administration for the purposes of applying this Regulation.
The Commission shall forthwith communicate this information to the other Member States.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 of 30 June 1993 establishing special detailed rules for applying the agricultural conversion rate in the sugar sector(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1642/1999(3), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(4) is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(2) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for June 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for June 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2001.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1167/2005
of 19 July 2005
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of maize held by the German intervention agency
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 of 28 July 1993 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies (2), provides in particular that cereals held by intervention agencies are to be sold by tendering procedure at prices preventing market disturbance.
(2) Because of unfavourable weather conditions on the Iberian Peninsula, maize prices on the Community market are relatively high, causing supply difficulties at competitive prices for growers and the livestock feed industry alike.
(3) Germany has intervention stocks of maize, which should be used up.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to make the stocks of maize held by the German intervention agency available on the internal market.
(5) To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to manage this invitation to tender. In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.
(6) It is also important for the German intervention agency’s notification to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.
(7) With a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The German intervention agency shall open a standing invitation to tender for the sale on the Community market of 10 044 tonnes of maize held by it.
The sale provided for in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
However, notwithstanding that Regulation:
a) tenders shall be drawn up on the basis of the actual quality of the lot to which they apply;
b) the minimum selling price shall be set at a level which does not disturb the cereals market; it may not in any event be lower than the intervention price in force for the month in question, including any monthly increases.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 846/2014
of 4 August 2014
amending Annex D to Council Directive 92/65/EEC as regards the conditions for donor animals of the equine species
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the European Union of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to the animal health requirements laid down in the specific acts of the European Union referred to in that Directive.
(2) Chapter I of Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the conditions governing the approval and supervision of centres for the collection of semen of animals of, amongst others, the equine species. Since the collection of semen of animals of the equine species is largely seasonal, the required permanence of the supervision by a centre veterinarian, frequently being contracted by the semen collection centre, appeared to be disproportionate compared to the limited added level of confidence in the animal health guarantees. As long as supervision is guaranteed during the activities of the semen collection centre in respect of semen of animals of the equine species intended for trade the competent authorities should be allowed to establish details of that supervision during the approval process.
(3) Directive 92/65/EEC also provides that semen of donor animals of the equine species must have been collected from animals meeting the conditions laid down in Chapter II(I) of Annex D to that Directive. Those conditions should be reviewed as regards donor stallions taking into account international standards for health testing set up in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals (2), and the capacity development in laboratories in the Member States.
(4) In accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the competent authorities may only designate laboratories to carry out the analysis of samples taken during official controls that operate and are assessed and accredited in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17025.
(5) In Chapter III of Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC requirements applicable to, amongst others, processing of embryos are laid down. Those requirements should be reviewed taking into account international standards for processing of embryos set out in Chapter 4.7 of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (4).
(6) The recent update of Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC by Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2010 (5) did not sufficiently take into account the discontinuous nature of collection of semen, ova and embryos of the equine species for trade and thus frequent testing of donor stallions is unnecessarily required. Additionally, since its adoption laboratory capacities to carry out advanced, highly sensitive, but less laborious tests for contagious equine metritis and equine viral arteritis have developed.
(7) Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC should be therefore amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Annex D to Directive 92/65/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the second paragraph of Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (5), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at current prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 (6); as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (7); whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/93 of 20 July 1993 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the financial instrument for fisheries guidance (8), defines the measures for which the FIFG may provide financial support; whereas the Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 defines the criteria and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the sector;
Whereas the Community programme has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Community programme satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas the aid application satisfies the conditions required by Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) 4253/88;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the 1994 Treaty of Accession and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof, and the 1994 Act of Accession and in particular Article 151 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, on 5 September 1994, the Republic of Austria requested a derogation based on that applicable from 1 April 1994 to the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 355/94 of 14 February 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duties (1) and increasing the level of allowances for travellers coming from third countries;
Whereas that request is aimed in particular at maintaining until 1 January 1998 the limit currently applicable in the Republic of Austria to imports of goods by travellers entering its territory by a land frontier linking it to countries other than Member States and members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA);
Whereas account should be taken of the economic difficulties likely to be caused in the Republic of Austria by the amount of the allowances in the case of the travellers concerned;
Whereas, however, it is necessary to prevent distortions of competition resulting from the application of different limits when the external frontiers linking the Community to countries other then EFTA members are crossed; whereas it is important that the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria should apply the same limit to imports of goods into their respective territories by travellers coming from the said countries,
The second paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 355/94 shall be replaced by the following:
'However, with regard to the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria, this Regulation shall apply from 1 January 1998 for goods imported by travellers entering German or Austrian territory by a land frontier linking Germany or Austria to countries other than Member States and the EFTA members or, where applicable, by means of coastal navigation coming from the said countries.
However, those Member States shall apply an allowance of not less than ECU 75 to imports by the travellers referred to in the preceding paragraph from the entry into force of the 1994 Treaty of Accession.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the same date as the 1994 Treaty of Accession.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC United Kingdom received on 4 June 2002 an application from BASF AG, Belgium for the inclusion of the active substance metrafenone in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2003/105/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Germany received on 19 April 2000 an application from AgraQuest for the inclusion of the active substance Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713 (hereafter Bacillus subtilis) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2001/6/EC (3) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the Netherlands received on 19 July 1999 an application from Dow AgroSciences for the inclusion of the active substance spinosad in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2000/210/EC (4) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(4) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Spain received on 17 March 1999 an application from Novartis Crop Protection AG (now Syngenta) for the inclusion of the active substance thiamethoxam in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Commission Decision 2000/181/EC (5) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) For those active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The designated rapporteur Member States submitted draft assessment reports concerning the substances to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on 31 October 2003 (metrafenone) and to the Commission on 15 May 2001 (Bacillus subtilis), 5 March 2001 (spinosad) and 21 January 2002 (thiamethoxam) respectively.
(6) For metrafone the assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 18 January 2005 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for metrafenone (6). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. For Bacillus subtilis, spinosad and thiamethoxam the draft assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 14 July 2006 in the format of the Commission review reports for metrafenone, Bacillus subtilis, spinosad and thiamethoxam.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing the active substances concerned may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include metrafenone, Bacillus subtilis, spinosad and thiamethoxam in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing provisional authorisations of plant protection products containing metrafenone, Bacillus subtilis, spinosad or thiamethoxam to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should transform existing provisional authorisations into full authorisations, amend them or withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 July 2007 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 August 2007.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing metrafenone, Bacillus subtilis, spinosad or thiamethoxam as active substance by 31 July 2007. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to metrafenone, Bacillus subtilis, spinosad or thiamethoxam, respectively, are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning the active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(2).
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing metrafenone or Bacillus subtilis or spinosad or thiamethoxam as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 January 2007 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning metrafenone, Bacillus subtilis, spinosad or thiamethoxam. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3074/95
of 22 December 1995
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the 1985 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 161 thereof,
Having regard to the 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles 121 and 122 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 requires the Council to formulate, in the light of the available scientific advice and, in particular, of the report prepared by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, the measures necessary to ensure the rational and responsible exploitation of resources on a sustainable basis;
Whereas a management regime making full use of the new management possibilities given by Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, and in particular the management of catch limitations on a pluriannual and multispecies basis, cannot yet be achieved, due to the need to put into force certain measures for the control of fisheries, to further develop the appropriate administrative framework for a system of limitation of fishing effort, and to enhance scientific knowledge; whereas, until such a management regime is consolidated, limitation of exploitation rates should be guaranteed by the current TAC system;
Whereas, under the terms of Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it is incumbent upon the Council, in accordance with Article 4, to determine for each fishery or group of fisheries the total allowable catches (TAC); whereas fishing opportunities should by allocated to Member States in accordance with Article 8 (4) (ii) of that Regulation;
Whereas it is necessary to establish the principles and certain procedures of fishery management at Community level, so that Member States can ensure the management of the fleets under their flag or jurisdiction;
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faeroes, of the other part (2), the Parties have consulted on their reciprocal fishing rights for 1996; whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded; whereas, as a result, it is possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for certain joint and autonomous stocks, of which part is allocated to the Faeroes;
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided in Articles 2 and 7 of the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (3), the Community and Norway have held consultations concerning mutual fishing rights for 1996; whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded and therefore it is possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for joint stocks and, where necessary, for other stocks;
Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources of the sea;
Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the Community participates in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in international waters; whereas the extent to which such stocks are fished by vessels of the Community should be viewed in the light of overall fishing activity and the contribution made hitherto by the Community towards their conservation should be taken into account;
Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission has recommended TACs for the stocks of cod, salmon, herring and sprat occurring in the waters of the Baltic Sea and the shares thereof for each Contracting Party;
Whereas, in the case of certain stocks fished mainly for reduction to meal and oil, it does not appear necessary to make quota allocations,
Whereas Article 161 of the 1985 Act of Accession fixes the share of the TACs allocated to Spain for certain stocks in certain zones and allocates flat-rate amounts of horse mackerel and blue whiting to Spain;
Whereas those flat-rate amounts of blue whiting must be divided among ICES subareas and divisions V b (EC zone), VI, VII and VIII a, b and d;
Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TACs, the specific conditions under which fishing operations occur should be established;
Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the quotas of herring, anchovy, hake, blue whiting, mackerel and megrim, transfers of a part of the quotas from the zone of allocation to adjacent zones should be allowed;
Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the haddock stocks in zones V b (EC zone), VI, XII and XIV, catches in zones V b and VI a should be limited;
Whereas massive catches of young flatfish are being taken in the southern North Sea in autumn; whereas protection should be given to these fish, in order to achieve a better exploitation;
Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission has recommended certain technical measures for resource conservation to be implemented by its Contracting Parties with effect from 1 January 1996;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 122 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the conditions under which allocations made in the framework of the Accession can be fished will remain identical to those applicable immediately prior to the entry into force of the 1994 Treaty of Accession,
Whereas improved economical utilization of certain stocks of herring requires them to be used for purposes other than direct human consumption; whereas the state of these stocks is such that, under appropriate management, there is no danger in implementing such a measure;
Whereas the management regime set out by Council Regulation (EC) No 2027/95 of 15 June 1995 establishing a system for the management of fishing effort relating to certain Community fishing areas and resources (1) requires the maintenance of the existing balances in fishing activities; whereas, in the case of certain stocks of horse mackerel, these balances can be kept by setting appropriate TACs and allocating them to the Member States concerned;
Whereas the economical effectiveness of the fishery for horse mackerel in zones VIII c and IX may be improved by the landing of small horse mackerel within limits compatible with the sustainability of the resource,
This Regulation fixes for 1996, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, total allowable catches (TACs) per stock or group of stocks, the share of these catches available to the Community, the allocation of that share among Member States and the specific conditions under which these stocks may be fished (2).
For the purposes of this Regulation, the Skagerrak is bounded on the west by a line drawn from the Hanstholm lighthouse to the Lindesnes lighthouse and on the south by a line drawn from the Skagen lighthouse to the Tistlarna lighthouse and from this point to the nearest point on the Swedish coast.
For the purposes of this Regulation, the Kattegat is bounded on the north by a line drawn from the Skagen lighthouse to the Tistlarna lighthouse and from this point to the nearest point on the Swedish coast and on the south by a line drawn from Hasenoere to Gnibens Spids, from Korshage to Spodsbjerg and from Gilbjerg Hoved to Kullen.
For the purposes of this Regulation, the North Sea shall comprise ICES subarea IV and that part of ICES division III a which is not covered by the definition of the Skagerrak given in this Article.
TACs for stocks or groups of stocks to which Community rules apply and the share of these catches available to the Community are hereby fixed for 1996 as set out in the Annex.
The allocation among the Member States of the share available to the Community of the TACs mentioned in Article 2 is fixed for 1996, in the form of fish quotas, in the Annex.
This allocation shall be without prejudice to exchanges made pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 and reallocations made pursuant to Articles 21 (4), 23 (1) and 32 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1).
As regards the herring stock of the North Sea and of the eastern English Channel, transfers of up to 50 % of the quotas may be effected from ICES divisions IV c and VII d to ICES division IV b.
As regards the hake stock in zones II a (EC zone) and IV (EC zone), Member States having a quota in this zone may, on exhaustion of this quota, make transfers from zones V b (EC zone), VI, VII, XII and XIV and from zones VIII a, b and d to zone II a (EC zone) and IV (EC zone).
However, such transfers must be notified in advance to the Commission.
1. It shall be prohibited to retain on board or to land catches from stocks for which TACs or quotas are fixed unless:
(i) the catches have been taken by vessels of a Member State having a quota and that quota is not exhausted; or
(ii) the share of the TAC available to the Community (Community share) has not been allocated by quota among Member States and the Community share has not been exhausted; or
(iii) for all species other than herring and mackerel, they are mixed with other species and have been taken with nets whose mesh size is 32 mm or less in regions 1 and 2 or 40 mm or less in region 3 in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (2), and are not sorted either on board or on landing; or
(iv) for herring, they are within the limits of paragraph 2; or
(v) for mackerel, they are mixed with horse mackerel or pilchard and the mackerel does not exceed 10 % of the total weight of mackerel, horse mackerel and pilchard on board and the catches are not sorted, or
(vi) they are caught during the course of scientific investigations carried out under Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86.
All landings shall count against the quota, or, if the Community share has not been allocated between Member States by quotas, against the Community share, except for catches made under the provisions of (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi).
2. When fishing with nets whose mesh size is less than 32 mm in regions 1 and 2 other than the Skagerrak and the Kattegat and with nets whose mesh size is less than 40 mm in region 3, it shall be prohibited to retain on board catches of herring mixed with other species unless such catches are not sorted and unless the herring, if mixed with sprat only, does not exceed 10 % by weight of the total weight of herring and sprat combined.
When fishing with nets whose mesh size is less than 32 mm in regions 1 and 2 and with nets whose mesh size is less than 40 mm in region 3, it shall be prohibited to retain on board catches of herring mixed with other species unless such catches are not sorted and unless the herring, if mixed with other species whether or not including sprat, does not exceed 5 % by weight of the total weight of the herring and other species combined.
3. The determination of the percentage of by-catches and their disposal shall be made in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86.
By way of derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 2115/88 (1), directed fishing and landing of herring for purposes other than human consumption may be conducted, until 31 December 1996, by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or Finland and, in the Baltic Sea, on a pilot basis, by vessels flying the flag of another Member State, within the rules provided in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1866/86 of 12 June 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the waters of the Baltic Sea, the Belts and the Sound (2).
By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of paragraph (a) of Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86, the period of enlargement of the area in which beam trawling is banned shall be from 1 January to 31 December 1996.
By way of derogation from Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1866/86, the area in which fishing for flatfish is permitted with mesh sizes equal to, or greater than, 90 mm is extended to the whole of subdivisions 22 and 24.
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 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 4 March 1998 authorising the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of vine propagating material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive68/193/EEC (98/200/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 68/193/EEC of 9 April 1968 on the marketing of material for the vegetative propagation of the vine (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by Austria,
Whereas in the Community and in Austria in particular the production of certain vine propagating materials satisfying the requirements of Directive 68/193/EEC, has been insufficient in 1997 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with material satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Austria should therefore be authorised to permit the marketing, for a period expiring on 31 March 1998, of material of a category to which less stringent requirements apply;
Whereas other Member States likely to supply Austria with such material should furthermore be authorised to permit its marketing to this end;
Whereas this authorisation may only be used in accordance with the plant health conditions and requirements laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC (2), as last amended by Directive 98/2/EC (3), and in particular Commission Decision 98/201/EC of 4 March 1998, authorising the Member States exceptionally to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of plants of Vitis L., other than fruits, originating in Hungary or Romania (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. Austria is authorised to permit, for a period expiring on 31 March 1998, the marketing on its territory of a maximum of 1 500 000 rootstock cuttings of the varieties 5BB or 5C for grafting, which have been harvested in Hungary or Romania and which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 68/193/EEC as regards certification and inspection of standard propagation material, provided that:
(a) the conditions and requirements of Decision 98/201/EC authorising the Member States exceptionally to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of plants of Vitis L., other than fruits, originating in Hungary or Romania, are met, and
(b) the official label is brown and bears the words 'less stringent requirements`.
2. Austria is authorised to permit the marketing in its territory of rooted grafts produced in the Community from the abovementioned rootstock cuttings for grafting, provided that the official label is brown and bears the words 'less stringent requirements`.
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorised to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territories of the material authorised to be marketed under this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the quantities of propagating material permitted to be marketed in their territories under this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(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 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, table grapes, apples and peaches 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 three months.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 5 July 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Directive 2009/42/EC on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 338(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:
(1) The second paragraph of Annex VIII to Directive 2009/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that the conditions for collecting data set B1 (data concerning ‘Seaborne transport in the main European ports, by port, type of cargo, goods and relation’) are to be decided by the Council on a proposal from the Commission in the light of the results of the pilot study carried out during a three-year transitional period, as provided for in Article 10 of Council Directive 95/64/EC of 8 December 1995 on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea (3).
(2) According to the Report from the Commission to the Council and to the European Parliament on experience acquired in the work carried out pursuant to Directive 95/64/EC (‘Commission Report’), the collection of detailed information appeared feasible and to be at a reasonable cost for bulk and semi-bulk cargo. However, the main difficulty occurred in compiling such data for containers and ro-ro traffic. It was appropriate to explore the possibility to extend the scope of Directive 95/64/EC to other items of information listed in Article 10(2)(a) of that Directive only when more experience had been gained with collecting the current variables and when the current system was well established. As regards the collection of commodity information, the potential revisions of the NST/R classification (Standard Goods Classification for Transport Statistics/Revised, 1967) should be taken into account.
(3) The functioning of the current collection system is well established, including the implementation of the modifications introduced by Commission Decision 2005/366/EC of 4 March 2005 implementing Council Directive 95/64/EC on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea and amending Annexes thereto (4) and the geographical extension of the system due to the 2004 and 2007 enlargements of the Union.
(4) A large number of Member States transmitting data to the Commission (Eurostat) within the scope of Directive 95/64/EC have been regularly providing the Commission (Eurostat) with data set B1 on a voluntary basis in accordance with the NST/R classification.
(5) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1304/2007 of 7 November 2007 with respect to the establishment of NST 2007 as the unique classification for transported goods in certain transport modes (5) introduced NST 2007 (Standard Goods Classification for Transport Statistics, 2007) as the unique classification for transported goods in maritime, road, rail and inland waterways transport. That classification is applicable as from the reference year 2008, covering 2008 data. The main problems in compiling data by type of goods in accordance with NST/R classification, as mentioned in the Commission Report, have been solved by the introduction of NST 2007. Therefore, for the most part, the collection of data set B1 will not impose any additional burden on respondents.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/98 of 25 May 1998 on statistical returns in respect of the carriage of goods by road (6), Regulation (EC) No 91/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 on rail transport statistics (7) and Regulation (EC) No 1365/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on statistics of goods transport by inland waterways (8), the collection of data by type of goods is mandatory for European statistics on road, rail, and inland waterways transport respectively, while it is voluntary for maritime transport. European statistics on all modes of transport should be collected in accordance with common concepts and standards, with the aim of achieving the fullest practicable comparability between transport modes.
(7) The introduction in 2011 of the obligation to provide the Commission (Eurostat) with data set B1, provides Member States with an adequate period of time during which a voluntary compilation could be used for the necessary tests and adaptations.
(8) The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in respect of certain detailed rules for implementing Directive 2009/42/EC. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.
(9) Directive 2009/42/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 2009/42/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(1) in Article 3(4), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(2) in Article 4(1), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(3) in Article 5, the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
(4) in Article 10, paragraph 3 is deleted;
(5) the following Articles are inserted:
(6) the second paragraph of Annex VIII is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The first reference year for the application of this Regulation shall be 2011, covering the 2011 data.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 19 November 2004
terminating the examination procedure concerning obstacles to trade consisting of trade practices maintained by Canada in relation to certain geographical indications for wines
(notified under document number C(2004) 4388)
(2004/806/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 of 22 December 1994 laying down Community procedures in the field of the common commercial policy in order to ensure the exercise of the Community’s rights under international trade rules, in particular those established under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (1), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) On 6 December 2001, the Conseil interprofessionnel du vin de Bordeaux (CIVB) lodged a complaint pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 (hereinafter ‘the Regulation’).
(2) CIVB claimed that Community sales of Bordeaux and Médoc in Canada are hindered by a number of obstacles to trade within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Regulation, i.e. ‘a practice adopted or maintained by a third country and in respect of which international trade rules establish a right of action’.
(3) The alleged obstacle to trade resulted from the C-57 Amendment to the Canadian Trademarks Act, which deprived the geographical indications Bordeaux and Médoc of a standard protection in compliance with the protection requirements laid down by the WTO Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) for geographical indications for wines.
(4) The Commission decided that the complaint contained sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an examination procedure. A corresponding notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities
(2).
(5) The investigation confirmed the complainant’s legal claim that the C-57 Amendment to the Canadian Trademarks Act violated Article 23.1 and 2 as well as Article 24.3 (the standstill clause) of TRIPS and that such infringements could not be justified on the basis of the exception under Article 24.6 of TRIPS.
(6) The examination procedure also concluded that the C-57 Amendment threatens to cause adverse trade effects to the complainant, within the meaning of Article 2(4) and 10(4) of the Regulation.
(7) On 12 February 2003, the Advisory Committee established by the Regulation considered the final report on the examination procedure.
(8) On 24 April 2003, the Commission initialled a Bilateral Agreement with Canada on trade in wine and spirits, which provided for the definitive elimination of the names listed as ‘generic’ in Canada, including ‘Bordeaux’, ‘Médoc’ and ‘Medoc’ by the entry into force of the agreement.
(9) On 9 July 2003, the Commission decided to suspend (3) the examination procedure with a view to terminate it as soon as Canada effectively eliminated these names from the list of generic names provided by the C-57 Amendment.
(10) On 30 July 2003, the Council approved the conclusion, on behalf of the European Community, of the Bilateral Agreement with Canada on trade in wine and spirits (4). On 1 June 2004, the Bilateral Agreement entered into force (5).
(11) By the Order Amending Subsections 11.18(3) and (4) of the Trade-marks Act (6), Canada eliminated Bordeaux, Médoc and Medoc from the list of generic names provided by the C-57 Amendment.
(12) Accordingly, it is appropriate to terminate the examination procedure,
The examination procedure concerning obstacles to trade, consisting of trade practices maintained by Canada in relation to certain geographical indications for wines, is hereby terminated.

Council Directive 92/74/EEC of 22 September 1992 widening the scope of Directive 81/851/EEC on the approximation of provisions laid down by Law, Regulation or Administrative Action relating to veterinary medicinal products and laying down additional provisions on homeopathic veterinary medicinal products

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 92/74/EEC of 22 September 1992 widening the scope of Directive 81/851/EEC on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to veterinary medicinal products and laying down additional provisions on homeopathic veterinary medicinal products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas differences currently existing between the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action in the Member States may hinder trade in homeopathic veterinary medicinal products within the Community and lead to discrimination and distortion of competition between manufacturers of these products;
Whereas the essential aim of any rules governing the production, distribution and use of veterinary medicinal products must be to safeguard human and animal health;
Whereas, despite considerable differences in the status of alternative medicines in the Member States, free choice of treatment should be guaranteed, provided all precautions are taken to ensure the quality of products;
Whereas the provisions of Directive 81/851/EEC (4) are not always appropriate for homeopathic veterinary medicinal products;
Whereas homeopathic medicine is officially recognized in certain Member States but is only tolerated in other Member States;
Whereas, even if homeopathic medicinal products are not always officially recognized, they are nevertheless prescribed and used in most Member States;
Whereas it is desirable in the first instance to provide users of these medicinal products with a very clear indication of their homeopathic character and with sufficient guarantees of their quality and safety;
Whereas the rules relating to the manufacture, control and inspection of homeopathic veterinary medicinal products must be harmonized to permit the circulation throughout the Community of medicinal products which are safe and of good quality;
Whereas, having regard to the particular characteristics of these medicinal products, such as the very low level of active principles they contain and the difficulty of applying to them the conventional statistical methods relating to clinical trials, it is desirable to provide a special, simplified registration procedure for those traditional homeopathic medicinal products which are placed on the market without specific therapeutic indications in a pharmaceutical form and dosage which do not present a risk for the animal;
Whereas in the light of current knowledge it appears difficult to allow according to a special, simplified registration procedure the marketing of medicinal products intended to be administered to animals whose flesh or products are intended for human consumption; whereas, however, this question should be re-examined during the preparation of the overall report on the application of this Directive which has to be submitted by the Commission not later than 31 December 1995;
Whereas, however, the usual rules governing the authorization to market veterinary medicinal products must be applied to homeopathic veterinary medicinal products marketed with therapeutic indications or in a form which may present risks which must be balanced against the desired therapeutic effect; whereas Member States should be able to apply particular rules for the evaluation of the results of tests and trials intended to establish the safety and efficacy of these medicinal products for pet animals and exotic species, provided that they notify them to the Commission,
1. For the purposes of this Directive, 'homeopathic veterinary medicinal product' shall mean any veterinary medicinal product prepared from products, substances or compositions called homeopathic stocks in accordance with a homeopathic manufacturing procedure described by the European Pharmacopoeia or, in absence thereof, by the pharmacopoeias currently used officially in the Member States.
2. A homeopathic veterinary medicinal product may also contain a number of principles.
1. The provisions of this Directive shall apply to homeopathic medicinal products for veterinary use.
This Directive shall not apply to homeopathic veterinary medicinal products which meet the conditions of Article 4 (4) of Directive 81/851/EEC; however, the withdrawal period referred to in the second subparagraph of that Article 4 (4) shall not apply with regard to homeopathic veterinary medicinal products in which the level of active principles is equal to or less than one part per million.
2. Without prejudice to Article 7 (2), the medicinal products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be identified by the inclusion on their labels, in clearly legible form, of the words 'homeopathic medicinal product for veterinary use'.
3. This Directive shall not apply to immunological homeopathic veterinary medicinal products, which shall be authorized by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 90/677/EEC of 13 December 1990 extending the scope of Directive 81/851/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to veterinary medicinal products and laying down additional provisions for immunological veterinary medicinal products (5).
CHAPTER II Manufacture, control and inspection
The provisions of Chapter V of Directive 81/851/EEC shall apply to the manufacture, control, import and export of homeopathic veterinary medicinal products.
The supervision measures and the sanctions provided for in Chapter VI of Directive 81/851/EEC shall apply to homeopathic veterinary medicinal products.
However, the proof of therapeutic effect referred to in Article 37 (1) (b) of the same Directive shall not be required for homeopathic veterinary medicinal products registered in accordance with Article 7 of this Directive or, where appropriate, admitted in accordance with Article 6 (2).
Member States shall communicate to each other all the information necessary to guarantee the quality and safety of homeopathic veterinary medicinal products manufactured and marketed within the Community, and in particular the information referred to in
Articles 39 and 42 of Directive 81/851/EEC.
CHAPTER III Placing on the market
1. Member States shall ensure that homeopathic veterinary medicinal products manufactured and marketed within the Community are registered or authorized in accordance with the provisions of Articles 7, 8 and 9. Each Member State shall take due account of registrations and authorizations previously granted by another Member State.
2. A Member State may refrain from establishing a special, simplified registration procedure for the homeopathic veterinary medicinal products referred to in Article 7. A Member State applying this provision shall inform the Commission accordingly. The Member State concerned shall, by 31 December 1995 at the latest, allow the use in its territory of homeopathic veterinary medicinal products registered by other Member States in accordance with Articles 7 and 8.
1. Only homeopathic veterinary medicinal products which satisfy all of the following conditions may be subject to a special, simplified registration procedure:
- they are intended for administration to pet animals or exotic species whose flesh or products are not intended for human consumption,
- they are administered by a route described in the European Pharmacopoeia or, in absence thereof, by the pharmacopoeias currently used officially in the Member States,
- no specific therapeutic indication appears on the labelling of the veterinary medicinal product or in any information relating thereto,
- there is a sufficient degree of dilution to guarantee the safety of the medicinal product; in particular, the medicinal product may not contain either more than one part per 10 000 of the mother tincture or more than 1/100th of the smallest dose used in allopathy with regard to active principles whose presence in an allopathic medicinal product results in the obligation to submit a veterinary prescription.
At the time of registration, Member States shall determine the classification for the dispensing of the medicinal product.
2. In addition to the clear mention of the words 'homeopathic veterinary medicinal product without approved therapeutic indications', the labelling and, where appropriate, package insert for the medicinal products referred to in paragraph 1 shall bear the following information and no other information:
- the scientific name of the stock or stocks followed by the degree of dilution, using the symbols of the pharmacopoeia used in accordance with Article 1 (1),
- name and address of the person responsible for marketing and, where appropriate, of the manufacturer,
- method of administration and, if necessary, route,
- expiry date, in clear terms (month, year),
- pharmaceutical form,
- contents of the sales presentation,
- special storage precautions, if any,
- target species,
- a special warning if necessary for the medicinal product,
- manufacturer's batch number,
- registration number.
3. The criteria and rules of procedure provided for in Articles 8 to 15 of Directive 81/851/EEC shall apply by analogy to the special, simplified registration procedure for homeopathic veterinary medicinal products, with the exception of the proof of therapeutic effect.
A special, simplified application for registration submitted by the person responsible for marketing may cover a series of medicinal products derived from the same homeopathic stock or stocks. The following documents shall be included with the application in order to demonstrate, in particular, the pharmaceutical quality and the batch-to-batch homogeneity of the products concerned:
- scientific name or other name given in a pharmacopoeia of the homeopathic stock or stocks, together with a statement of the various routes of administration, pharmaceutical forms and degree of dilution to be registered,
- dossier describing how the homeopathic stock or stocks is/are obtained and controlled, and justifying its/their homeopathic nature, on the basis of an adequate homeopathic bibliography; in the case of homeopathic veterinary medicinal products containing biological substances, a description of the measures taken to ensure the absence of pathogens,
- manufacturing and control file for each pharmaceutical form and a description of the method of dilution and potentiation,
- manufacturing authorization for the medicinal products concerned,
- copies of any registrations or authorizations obtained for the same medicinal products in other Member States,
- one or more specimes or mock-ups of the sales presentation of the medicinal products to be registered,
- data concerning the stability of the medicinal product.
1. Homeopathic veterinary medicinal products other than those referred to in Article 7 shall be authorized in accordance with the provisions of Articles 5 to 15 of Directive 81/851/EEC, including the provisions concerning proof of therapeutic effect, and labelled in accordance with Articles 43 to 50 of the same Directive.
2. A Member State may introduce or retain in its territory specific rules for the pharmacological and toxicological tests and clinical trials of homeopathic veterinary medicinal products intended for pet animals and exotic species whose flesh or products are not intended for human consumption, other than those referred to in Article 7 (1), in accordance with the principles and characteristics of homeopathy as practised in that Member State.
In this case, the Member State concerned shall notify the Commission of the specific rules in force.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 3 May 1989
on the conclusion of the Third Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community
(89/433/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas a total suspension by the Republic of Iceland of duties on imports from Spain would facilitate trade between the two countries;
Whereas the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland (1) consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community, signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972 does not make provision for the Republic of Iceland to suspend customs duties on goods imported from Spain;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to approve a Third Additional Protocol to the abovementioned Agreement in order to provide for the total suspension of duties on products covered by that Agreement imported into Iceland from Spain,
The Third Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Protocol is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall give the notification provided for in Article 3 of the Protocol (2).
This Decision shall take effect on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, pursuant to Schedule CXL, the Community agreed to open an annual tariff quota of 1 500 tonnes for frozen thin skirt of bovine animal falling within CN code 0206 29 91; whereas that quota should be opened on a multiannual basis for periods of 12 months commencing on 1 July and the detailed rules of application laid down;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 495/97 (3), lays down detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 266/97 (5), lays down detailed rules for implementing the arrangements for import licences for beef and veal;
Whereas, in order to ensure efficient administration of the import of meat originating in and coming from Argentina, that country is required to issue certificates of authenticity guaranteeing the origin of the products concerned; whereas the layout of those certificates and the procedures for using them must be specified;
Whereas certificates of authenticity must be issued by an authority in Argentina; whereas that authority must present all the necessary guarantees to ensure that the arrangements in question operate properly;
Whereas, in order to ensure efficient administration of the import of frozen thin skirt originating in and coming from Argentina, it should be laid down that, where appropriate, the issue of import licences should be subject to verification inter alia of the information given on certificates of authenticity;
Whereas, for other countries, the quota should be managed only on the basis of Community import licences, with derogations in certain cases from the applicable rules;
Whereas experience has shown that importers do not always inform the competent authorities which have issued the import licences of the quantity and origin of the beef and veal imported under the quota concerned; whereas that information is important for assessing the market situation; whereas a security attached to compliance with that obligation should be provided for;
Whereas provision must be made for the Member States to forward information on the imports in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. A Community tariff quota for frozen thin skirt of bovine animals falling within CN code 0206 29 91 is hereby opened on a multiannual basis for an annual volume of 1 500 tonnes for periods from 1 July to 30 June of the following year, hereinafter referred to as the 'year of import`.
The serial number of the quota shall be 09.4020.
2. The ad valorem customs duty on the quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be 4 %.
3. The annual quota shall be allocated as follows:
(a) 700 tonnes originating in and coming from Argentina;

1. The certificate of authenticity to be issued by Argentina shall be made out in one original and at least one copy on a form corresponding to the specimen at Annex I.
The form shall measure approximately 210 × 297 millimetres. The paper shall weigh not less than 40 grams per square metre.
2. Forms shall be printed and completed in one of the official languages of the Community and also, if desired, in the official language of Argentina.

1. Certificates of authenticity shall be valid only if they are duly completed and endorsed, in accordance with the instructions given at Annex I, by the issuing authority.
2. A certificate of authenticity shall be deemed to have been duly endorsed if it specifies the date and place of issue and if it bears the stamp of the issuing authority and the signature of the person or persons empowered to sign it.
The stamp may be replaced on the original certificate of authenticity and its copies by a printed seal.
1. Certificates of authenticity shall be valid for three months from the date of issue.
However, certificates may not be presented to the competent national authority after 30 June following the date of issue.

The original of the certificate of authenticity shall be kept by the competent national authority.
A certificate of authenticity may be used for the issuing of more than one import licence for a total quantity not exceeding that shown on the certificate. Where more than one licence is issued in respect of a certificate, the competent national authority shall endorse the certificate of authenticity to show the quantity attributed.
The competent national authorities may issue import licences only after they are satisfied that all the information on the certificate of authenticity corresponds to that received each week from the Commission on the subject. The import licences shall be issued immediately thereafter.
3. Notwithstanding the fourth subparagraph of paragraph 2, the competent national authorities may, in exceptional cases and on duly reasoned application, issue import licences on the basis of the relevant certificates of authenticity before the information from the Commission is received. In such cases, the security for the import licences referred to in Article 11 (1) shall be ECU 50 per 100 kg net weight. After receiving the information concerning the certificate, the Member States shall replace the security by that of ECU 12 per 100 kg net weight referred to in Article 11 (1).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1537/2005
of 22 September 2005
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 September 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) Whereas Commission Decision 97/296/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 1999/488/EC(4), lists the countries and territories from which importation of fishery products for human consumption is authorised. Part I of the Annex lists the names of the countries and territories covered by a specific Decision and part II names those qualifying under Article 2(2) of Decision 95/408/EC;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2560/98 (2) and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90, maximum residue limits must be established progressively for all pharmacologically active substances which are used within the Community in veterinary medicinal products intended for administration to food-producing animals;
Whereas maximum residue limits should be established only after the examination within the Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products of all the relevant information concerning the safety of residues of the substance concerned for the consumer of foodstuffs of animal origin and the impact of residues on the industrial processing of foodstuffs;
Whereas, in establishing maximum residue limits for residues of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin, it is necessary to specify the animal species in which residues may be present, the levels which may be present in each of the relevant meat tissues obtained from the treated animal (target tissue) and the nature of the residue which is relevant for the monitoring of residues (marker residue);
Whereas, for the control of residues, as provided for in appropriate Community legislation, maximum residue limits should usually be established for the target tissues of liver or kidney; whereas, however, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcasses moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues;
Whereas, in the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey;
Whereas flumethrin should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas oleyloleate, calcium glucoheptonate, calcium glucono glucoheptonate, calcium gluconolactate, calcium glutamate, nickel gluconate, nickel sulphate, sodium hypophosphite, bacitracin, bronopol, cetostearyl alcohol, menadione, phytomenadione, 2-pyrrolidone, sodium cetostearyl sulphate, wool alcohols, lespedeza capitata, majoranae herba, medicago sativa extractum, sinapis nigrae semen and flumethrin should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90;
Whereas a period of 60 days should be allowed before the entry into force of this Regulation in order to allow Member States to make any adjustment which may be necessary to the authorisations to place the veterinary medicinal products concerned on the market which have been granted in accordance with Council Directive 81/851/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 93/40/EEC (4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I and II of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 60th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas, in several Member States there are laws concerning the determination of the alcoholic strength of a mixture of water and ethanol, and whereas these laws differ from one Member State to another, thus creating obstacles to trade; whereas, Community harmonization in this field and the establishment of a common definition are therefore necessary;
Whereas, in its resolution of 17 December 1973 (3) on industrial policy, the Council invited the Commission to forward to it before 1 December 1974 a proposal for a Directive on alcoholometry and alcoholometers;
Whereas harmonization of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the method for determining alcoholic strength from the results of measurements taken is essential also as a complement to the Directive on the harmonization of alcoholometers and alcohol hydrometers, in order to remove all risk of ambiguity or dispute,
This Directive defines the method of expressing alcoholic strength, by volume or by mass, as defined in the Annex, and gives a formula to enable tables to be drawn up for calculating alcoholic strength on the basis of the measurements taken.
As from 1 January 1980 Member States may not question the figures for alcoholic strength derived from the alcoholometric tables drawn up on the basis of the formula shown in the Annex, and from measurements taken with alcoholometers or alcohol hydrometers bearing the EEC marks and signs or with instruments providing at least an equivalent degree of accuracy, on grounds connected with the use of these tables or instruments.
The symbols used to indicate alcoholic strength as mentioned in Article 2 and defined in the Annex shall be as follows:
‘% vol’ for alcoholic strength by volume,
‘% mas’ for alcoholic strength by mass.
As from 1 January 1980, Member States shall prohibit the use of alcoholic strengths which do not comply with the requirements of this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish within a period of 24 months from the date of notification of this Directive the measures necessary to conform with this Directive and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these measures from 1 January 1980 at the latest.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission of the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1258/2011
of 2 December 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for nitrates in foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 of 19 December 2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (2) sets maximum levels for nitrates in certain leafy vegetables.
(2) In some cases, despite developments in good agricultural practice, the maximum levels are exceeded and therefore a temporary derogation was granted to certain Member States for the placing on the market of certain leafy vegetables, grown and intended for consumption in their territory with nitrate levels higher than the established maximum levels.
(3) Since the application of the maximum levels of nitrates in lettuce and spinach, many investigations have been performed on the factors involved in the presence of nitrates in lettuce and spinach and on the measures to be taken to reduce the presence of nitrates in lettuce and spinach as much as possible. Despite the progress achieved in the good agricultural practice to reduce the presence of nitrates in lettuce and spinach and a strict application of this good agricultural practice, it is not possible to achieve in a consistent way nitrate levels in lettuce and fresh spinach below the current maximum levels in certain regions of the Union. The reason is that the climate and in particular the light conditions are the main determinant factor in the presence of nitrates in lettuce and spinach. These climate conditions cannot be managed or changed by the producer.
(4) To provide an up-to-date scientific basis for the longer-term strategy for managing the risk arising from nitrates in vegetables, a scientific risk assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), taking into account new information, was needed. Such assessment had to take into account any relevant considerations on risks and benefits, for example, weighing the possible negative impact of nitrate versus the possible positive effects of eating vegetables, such as antioxidant activities or other properties that might in some way counteract or provide a balance to the risks arising from nitrates and the resulting nitroso-compounds.
(5) On request of the Commission, the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (the Panel) adopted on 10 April 2008 a Scientific opinion on nitrate in vegetables (3). The Panel compared the risk and benefits of exposure to nitrate from vegetables. Overall, the estimated exposures to nitrate from vegetables are unlikely to result in appreciable health risks, therefore, the recognised beneficial effects of consumption of vegetables prevail. The Panel recognised that there are occasional circumstances (e.g. unfavourable local/home production conditions) for vegetables which constitute a large part of the diet, or individuals with a diet high in vegetables such as rucola which need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
(6) Following discussion on appropriate measures and concerns expressed as regards possible risks for infants and young children following acute dietary intake exposure, the Commission asked EFSA for a complementary scientific statement on nitrates in vegetables, whereby the possible risks for infants and young children related to the presence of nitrates in fresh vegetables are assessed in more detail, also considering the acute dietary intake, taking into account recent occurrence data on the presence of nitrates in vegetables, more detailed consumption data of vegetables by infants and young children and the possibility of the establishment of slightly higher than the current maximum levels for nitrates in leafy vegetables. The Panel adopted on 1 December 2010 a Statement on possible public health risks for infants and young children from the presence of nitrates in leafy vegetables (4).
(7) In that statement the Panel concluded that exposure to nitrate at the current or envisaged maximum levels in spinach cooked from fresh spinach is unlikely to be a health concern, although a risk for some infants eating more than one spinach meal per day cannot be excluded. EFSA noted that it did not take into account possible changes of the nitrate content due to processing of the food commodities, such as washing, peeling and/or cooking, as this could not be considered due to lack of representative data. The non-consideration of the quantitative impact of food processing on nitrate levels may consequently lead to an overestimation of the exposure. It was furthermore concluded that levels of nitrate in lettuce are not a health concern for children. Enforcing the current maximum levels for nitrate in lettuce and spinach, or envisaged maximum levels at 500 mg/kg higher than the current maximum levels, would have a minor impact.
(8) In order to provide legal security for the producer in all regions of the European Union which applies strictly the good agricultural practices to reduce the presence of nitrates in spinach and lettuce as much as possible, it is therefore appropriate to slightly increase the maximum level for nitrates in fresh spinach and lettuce without endangering public health.
(9) Given the sometimes very high levels of nitrates found in rucola, it is appropriate to set a maximum level for rucola. The maximum level for rucola should be reviewed in 2 years in view of a reduction of the levels after having identified the factors involved in the presence of nitrate in rucola and the full implementation of good agricultural practice in rucola to minimise the nitrate content.
(10) Given that EFSA has been mandated by the Commission to compile all occurrence data on contaminants, including nitrates, in food into one database, it is appropriate to communicate the results directly to EFSA.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,
Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 7, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 are deleted;
(2) in Article 9, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
(3) in the Annex, Section 1: Nitrate is replaced by the Section in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from the date of its entry into force. However, the maximum levels for rucola provided for in point 1.5 of the Annex shall apply from 1 April 2012.
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 (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1965/2001(2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2848/2000 of 15 December 2000 fixing for 2001 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2425/2001(4), lays down quotas for Norway lobster for 2001.
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of Norway lobster in the waters of ICES divisions IIa (EC waters) and North Sea (EC waters) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands have exhausted the quota allocated for 2001. The Netherlands have prohibited fishing for this stock from 16 November 2001. This date should be adopted in this Regulation also,
Catches of Norway lobster in the waters of IIa (EC waters) and North Sea (EC waters) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands are hereby deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the Netherlands for 2001.
Fishing for Norway lobster in the waters of ICES divisions IIa (EC waters) and North Sea (EC waters) by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands is hereby prohibited, as are the retention on board, transhipment and landing of this stock caught by the above vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

DIRECTIVE 1999/34/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 10 May 1999
amending Council Directive 85/374/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
(1) Whereas product safety and compensation for damage caused by defective products are social imperatives which must be met within the internal market; whereas the Community has responded to those requirements by means of Directive 85/374/EEC(4) and Council Directive 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety(5);
(2) Whereas Directive 85/374/EEC established a fair apportionment of the risks inherent in a modern society in which there is a high degree of technicality; whereas that Directive therefore struck a reasonable balance between the interests involved, in particular the protection of consumer health, encouraging innovation and scientific and technological development, guaranteeing undistorted competition and facilitating trade under a harmonised system of civil liability; whereas that Directive has thus helped to raise awareness among traders of the issue of product safety and the importance accorded to it;
(3) Whereas the degree of harmonisation of Member States' laws achieved by Directive 85/374/EEC is not complete in view of the derogations provided for, in particular with regard to its scope, from which unprocessed agricultural products are excluded;
(4) Whereas the Commission monitors the implementation and effects of Directive 85/374/EEC and in particular its aspects relating to consumer protection and the functioning of the internal market, which have already been the subject of a first report; whereas, in this context, the Commission is required by Article 21 of that Directive to submit a second report on its application;
(5) Whereas including primary agricultural products within the scope of Directive 85/374/EEC would help restore consumer confidence in the safety of agricultural products; whereas such a measure would meet the requirements of a high level of consumer protection;
(6) Whereas circumstances call for Directive 85/374/EEC to be amended in order to facilitate, for the benefit of consumers, legitimate compensation for damage to health caused by defective agricultural products;
(7) Whereas this Directive has an impact on the functioning of the internal market in so far as trade in agricultural products will no longer be affected by differences between rules on producer liability;
(8) Whereas the principle of liability without fault laid down in Directive 85/374/EEC must be extended to all types of product, including agricultural products as defined by the second sentence of Article 32 of the Treaty and those listed in Annex II to the said Treaty;
(9) Whereas, in accordance with the principle of proportionality, it is necessary and appropriate in order to achieve the fundamental objectives of increased protection for all consumers and the proper functioning of the internal market to include agricultural products within the scope of Directive 85/374/EEC; whereas this Directive is limited to what is necessary to achieve the objectives pursued in accordance with the third paragraph of Article 5 of the Treaty,
Directive 85/374/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 2
For the purpose of this Directive, 'product' means all movables even if incorporated into another movable or into an immovable. 'Product' includes electricity."
2. In Article 15, paragraph 1(a) shall be deleted.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply these measures as from 4 December 2000.
When the Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
2. Member States shall comunicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they subsequently adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 145/2014
of 14 February 2014
approving the active substance thiencarbazone, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
(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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For thiencarbazone the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2008/566/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 13 April 2007 an application from Bayer CropScience AG for the inclusion of the active substance thiencarbazone in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2008/566/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 17 December 2008. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant on 7 July 2011. The evaluation of the additional data by the United Kingdom was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report in April 2012.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance thiencarbazone (5) on 17 June 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 13 December 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for thiencarbazone.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing thiencarbazone may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve thiencarbazone.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing thiencarbazone. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance thiencarbazone, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing thiencarbazone as an active substance by 31 December 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing thiencarbazone as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 June 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing thiencarbazone as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing thiencarbazone as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.
Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
Entry into force and date of application
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 July 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

1.4.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 83/48
COUNCIL DECISION
of 16 March 2005
establishing a secure web-based Information and Coordination Network for Member States’ Migration Management Services
(2005/267/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 66 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Council’s comprehensive plan to combat illegal immigration and trafficking of human beings of 28 February 2002, which is based on the Commission’s Communication of 15 November 2001 to the European Parliament and to the Council on a common policy on illegal immigration, called for the development of a secure web-based intranet site to establish secure and rapid information exchange between Member States on irregular or illegal migratory flows and phenomena.
(2) The development and management of the network should be entrusted to the Commission.
(3) Access to the web-based intranet site should be limited to authorised users in compliance with the established terms, procedures and security measures.
(4) Since the objectives of this Decision, namely secure and rapid information exchange between Member States, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the effects of the envisaged action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
(5) This Decision respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union as general principles of Community law.
(6) 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) and 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 (3) should be taken into account in the context of the web-based intranet site.
(7) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision 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 (4).
(8) 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 is not participating in the adoption of this Decision, and is therefore not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Decision builds upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community, except insofar as it establishes an exchange of information on the problems associated with the return of third-country nationals other than those who do not fulfil or who no longer fulfil the conditions for a short stay applicable within the territory of a Member State by virtue of the provisions of the Schengen acquis, Denmark, in accordance with Article 5 of the aforementioned Protocol, shall decide within a period of six months after the Council has adopted this Decision whether it will implement it in its national law.
(9) As regards the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway, except insofar as it establishes an exchange of information on the problems associated with the return of third-country nationals other than those who do not fulfil or who no longer fulfil the conditions for a short stay applicable within the territory of a Member State by virtue of the provisions of the Schengen acquis, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded on 18 May 1999 by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis
(5), which fall within the areas referred to in Article 1, points A, B, C and E of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement (6).
(10) As regards Switzerland, except insofar as it establishes an exchange of information on the problems associated with the return of third-country nationals other than those who do not fulfil or who no longer fulfil the conditions for a short stay applicable within the territory of a Member State by virtue of the provisions of the Schengen acquis, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis
(7), which fall within the areas referred to in Article 1, points A, B, C and E of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 4(1) of Council Decision 2004/849/EC of 25 October 2004 (8) and of Council Decision 2004/860/EC of 25 October 2004 (9) on the signing of that Agreement on behalf of the European Union and the European Community, respectively, and on the provisional application of certain provisions thereof.
(11) An arrangement has to be made to allow representatives of Iceland, Norway and Switzerland to be associated with the work of the committee assisting the Commission in the exercise of its implementing powers pursuant to this Decision with respect to the provisions constituting a development of the Schengen acquis.
(12) The United Kingdom is taking part in this Decision, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community and Article 8(2) of Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(10), to the extent that its measures develop provisions of the Schengen acquis against the organisation of illegal immigration in which the United Kingdom participates, and the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, having notified under Article 3 thereof its wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Decision.
(13) Ireland is taking part in this Decision, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community and Article 6(2) of Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning the request of Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(11), to the extent that its measures develop provisions of the Schengen acquis against the organisation of illegal immigration in which Ireland participates.
(14) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and without prejudice to Article 4 of the said Protocol, Ireland is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application to the extent that its measures do not develop provisions of the Schengen acquis against the organisation of illegal immigration in which Ireland participates,
This Decision establishes a secure web-based Information and Coordination Network for the exchange of information on irregular migration, illegal entry and immigration and the return of illegal residents.

3. Member States shall take the necessary security measures to:
(a) prevent any unauthorised person from having access to the network;
(b) guarantee that, when using the network, authorised persons have access only to data which are within their sphere of competence;
(c) prevent information on the network from being read, copied, modified or erased by unauthorised persons.
4. Without prejudice to paragraph 3, further security measures shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6(2).
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee set up under Council Decision 2002/463/EC of 13 June 2002 adopting an action programme for administrative cooperation in the fields of external borders, visas, asylum and immigration (ARGO programme) (12).

Commission Decision
of 5 January 2001
authorising the Kingdom of the Netherlands to have a temporary exemption to allow the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) until 31 December 2002 in delivery mechanisms for hermetically sealed devices designed for implantation in the human body for delivery of measured doses of medication in accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer(1), and in particular Articles 4(1), 11(1)(f) and 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 prohibits the use and the placing on the market of chlorofluorocarbons.
(2) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 states that, following a request of a Member State and in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2), the Commission may authorise the use of chlorofluorocarbons until 31 December 2004 in delivery mechanisms for hermetically sealed devices designed for implantation in the human body for delivery of measured doses of medication.
(3) Medtronic is a producer of the Isomed infusion system, an implantable drug delivery system that is used for the treatment of cancer pain, non-malignant pain, spasticity and cancer chemotherapy. The Isomed device utilises a minute quantity of CFC-114 to create the pressure to deliver the medication. To date there is no alternative to the CFC but Medtronic is seeking an alternative. As the pump is implanted in the body there is no escape of CFC into the environment during the use of this device.
(4) The Commission has examined the technical and economic aspects of the Isomed infusion system produced by Medtronic and accepts that currently there is no technical and economically feasible alternative substance or technology and that the temporary use of CFCs in these drug pumps for medical uses remains essential.
(5) The competent authority in the Netherlands has given its agreement for a temporary exemption up to 31 December 2002 for the use of CFCs for the production and export of medical drug pumps by Medtronic BV.
(6) The Committee established by Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 examined this request at its meeting of 5 October 2000 and agreed to an exemption up to 31 December 2002 with a maximum use of 75 ODP kg of CFCs and the possibility of this exemption being renewed for a further two years up to 31 December 2004 following a review of the technical and economic availability of alternative substances or technologies by the Commission.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee,
In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, Medtronic BV (NL) is allowed to use chlorofluorocarbons in delivery mechanisms for hermetically sealed devices designed for implantation in the human body for delivery of measured doses of medication until 31 December 2002 and for a maximum quantity of 75 ODP kg.
The Commission will review this exemption in 2002 to examine whether its extension to 31 December 2004 can be authorised in the light of the development of technical and economic alternative substances or technologies.
This Decision is addressed to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters on the amendment of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria on the application of the rules on Community transit (1) should be approved; whereas the proposed amendment is the subject of recommendation 1/81 of the EEC-Austria Joint Committee - Community transit;

establishing a ceiling and Community surveillance for imports of iceberg lettuce originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1988)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26 February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1821/87 (2), and in particular Article 13a and 22 thereof;
Whereas Article 13a of Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 stipulates that products listed there, originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories are subject on importation into the Community to progressively reduced rates of duty; whereas such reduction of duties applies only up to ceilings above which the customs duties actually applied in respect of third countries may be re-established;
Whereas, within the limits of this tariff ceiling, the customs duty is reduced progressively by the percentage specified in that Article, during the same period and in accordance with the same timetable as provided for in Articles 75 and 268 of the Act of Accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic; whereas by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1450/88 of 27 May 1988, concerning duties applicable to imports of iceberg lettuce from Spain and Portugal into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 (3), a partial suspension of customs duties to these Member States has been adopted for the period 1 July to 30 September 1988; whereas the same rates of duties should be applied to the imports of these products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories;
Whereas by virtue of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1820/87 of 25 June 1987 concerning the application of Decision No 2/87 of the ACP-EEC Council of Ministers on the advance implementation of the Protocol consequent on the Accession of Spain and Portugal to the European Communities to the Third ACP-EEC Convention (4), Spain and Portugal are to postpone implementation of the preferential arrangements for fruit and vegetables falling within Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1113/88 (6), until 31 December 1989 and 31 December 1990 respectively; whereas consequently, the abovementioned tariff concession does not apply at present in Spain or Portugal;
Whereas the application of ceilings requires the Community to be regularly informed of the trend of imports of the relevant products originating in these countries; whereas imports should, therefore, be made subject to a system of surveillance;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on offsetting imports of the products in question against the ceiling at Community level as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possible re-establishment of the customs tariff duty as soon as the ceiling is reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly swift cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceiling and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take the appropriate measures to re-establish the customs tariff duty if the ceiling is reached;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. Imports of products listed in the Annex originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or in the overseas countries and territories shall, in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, be subject to a ceiling and to Community surveillance.
The products referred to in the first paragraph, their CN code, the customs duty applicable, the period of validity, and the level of the ceiling is set out in the Annex.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the ceiling as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation, accompanied by a movement certificate.
Products may be charged against a ceiling only if the movement certificate is submitted before the date on which the collection of customs duties is re-established.
The extent to which a ceiling is used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against it, in the manner specified in the preceding subparagraphs.
Member States shall inform the Commission, at the intervals and within the timelimits specified in paragraph 4, of imports effected in accordance with the above procedures.
3. As soon as a ceiling has been reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation re-establishing, until the end of its period of validity, the customs duty applicable to third countries.
4. Member States shall send the Commission statements of the quantities charged against the preceding month no later than the 15th day of each month. At the Commission's request, they shall send statements of the quantities charged for period of 10 days, to be forwarded within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the Netherlands Government has requested, in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, a more accurate and coherent definition of the less-favoured areas listed in the Annex to Directive 92/93/EEC;
Whereas the new definition of the areas within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC already included in the list does not amend the boundaries of those areas which comply with the criteria and figures, including the special criteria, laid down in Directives 75/275/EEC and 92/93/EEC;
Whereas the series of amendments requested by the Netherlands Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC does not involve an increase in the total utilized agricultural area of the less-favoured areas of 110 915 hectares given in the Annex to Directive 92/93/EEC and does therefore not effect the limit laid down in the said Article;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
The list of less-favoured areas in the Netherlands given in the Annex to Directive 92/93/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 414/2004 of 5 March 2004 adopting specific measures with a view to adapting the arrangements for administering tariff quotas on banana imports as a result of the accession of new Member States on 1 May 2004

Commission Regulation (EC) No 414/2004
of 5 March 2004
adopting specific measures with a view to adapting the arrangements for administering tariff quotas on banana imports as a result of the accession of new Member States on 1 May 2004
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001(2) lays down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community. Titles I and II of that Regulation define the categories of traditional and non-traditional operators who may supply the Community under the tariff quotas opened each year.
(2) In view of the accession to the Community of 10 new Member States on 1 May 2004, it is necessary to identify the operators established in the Community as constituted on 30 April 2004, whether or not already registered, who have supplied the markets of the countries acceding on 1 May 2004 and who meet the conditions laid down in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, in the case of traditional operators, and Articles 6 to 12 of that Regulation, in the case of non-traditional operators.
(3) In order to draw up a list of operators who qualify to participate in the tariff quota arrangements for banana imports in accordance with the criteria laid down by Community law, reference periods should be adopted which are representative of developments in trade. To that end, the three-year period 2000 to 2002, for which import statistics are available, should be used for traditional operators. For non-traditional operators, 2002 and 2003, which immediately precede the year of registration, may be used for the purposes of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001.
(4) In the case of traditional importers, it should be made clear that only primary imports within the meaning of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 which have actually been used to supply accession countries and which have resulted in quantities of bananas being released for free circulation in an accession country may be taken into account for determining a specific additional reference quantity. Such operators should therefore be required to produce the customs documents attesting to release for free circulation in the accession countries.
(5) In the case of non-traditional operators, in order to avoid excessive applications for allocations bearing no relation to their actual capacity, a maximum limit should be set for each application for an allocation, expressed as a percentage of the quantities actually released for free circulation during one of the years preceding registration and for which the operator must produce the appropriate supporting documents.
(6) In order to facilitate the scrutiny of operators' applications and harmonise how they are processed, the main supporting documents which may be produced as evidence that the requirements have been met for admission to each of the two categories of operators should be specified.
(7) The necessary provisions should also be laid down to ensure adequate communication between the Member States and the Commission and to organise the additional verifications and checks needed to detect and prevent false claims, prevent irregularities and ensure the smooth functioning of the arrangements for administering tariff quotas for banana imports.
(8) This Regulation will apply without prejudice to any rules which the Commission might subsequently adopt with a view to full application of the arrangements introduced by Regulations (EEC) No 404/93 and (EC) No 896/2001 in the enlarged Community.
(9) The Management Committee for Bananas has not issued an opinion by the time limit laid down by its Chairman,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1110/91 (3), and in particular Article 10 (4) thereof,
Whereas on 25 November 1991 Italy notified the Commission that the maximum amounts that may be charged annually to the Community budget as a result of Commission Decision 91/47/EEC (4) would for technical reasons each be postponed by one year in relation to the timing envisaged when that Decision was taken; whereas due account must be taken of this new situation;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 200/83
of 24 January 1983
on the adaptation of the external trade statistics of the Community to the Directives concerning the harmonization of procedures for the export of goods and for the release of goods for free circulation
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas on importation all goods released for free circulation in the statistical territory of the Community are included in the external trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas in the interests of the completeness of the external trade statistics of the Community it is therefore necessary to ensure that all goods released for free circulation in the statistical territory of the Community are recorded, even if they are not simultaneously released for home use;
Whereas Council Directive 79/695/EEC of 24 July 1979 on the harmonization of procedures for the release of goods for free circulation (2) enables goods to be entered separately for free circulation and for home use;
Whereas goods released for free circulation may, however, include goods which have previously been subject to the inward processing customs procedure and have thus already been included in the external trade statistics of the Community under the corresponding statistical procedure; whereas it is important to ensure that in those statistics such goods are not treated again in accordance with the rules laid down in Articles 3 to 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75 of 24 June 1975 on the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (3);
Whereas on exportation all goods within the meaning of Article 9 (2) of the Treaty which leave the statistical territory of the Community definitively are included in the external trade statistics of the Community;
Whereas in the interests of the completeness of the external trade statistics of the Community it is therefore necessary to ensure that all such goods which leave the statistical territory of the Community definitively are recorded, even if the declaration of exportation from the customs territory of the Community is lodged in a Member State to which the goods were initially forwarded from another Member State;
Whereas Council Directive 81/177/EEC of 24 February 1981 on the harmonization of procedures for the export of Community goods (4) makes export from the customs territory of the Community subject to the lodging of an export declaration at the competent customs office; whereas this office may be situated in a Member State to which the goods were initially forwarded from another Member State,
For the purposes of the external trade statistics of the Community, the following shall be treated in accordance with the rules laid down in Articles 3 to 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75:
(a) on importation, goods entering or having entered the statistical territory of the Community, at the time they are declared released for free circulation in accordance with the measures adopted by the Member States for the purpose of implementing Directive 79/695/EEC, with the exception of goods having previously been subject to the inward processing procedure;
(b) on exportation, goods leaving or about to leave the statistical territory of the Community, at the time they are declared released for exportation from the customs territory of the Community in accordance with the measures adopted by the Member States for the purpose of implementing Directive 81/177/EEC,
even if these goods are not referred to in Article 2 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/75.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1983.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4257/88 of 19 December 1988 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1989 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 4257/88, duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 14;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 14, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, equal to 6 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1987;
Whereas, in the case of artificial flowers, foliage and fruit, falling within CN code 6702 the reference base is fixed at ECU 9 044 000; whereas, on 9 March 1989, imports of these products into the community originating in China, reached the reference base in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against China,
As from 23 June 1989, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4257/88, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in China:
1.2 // // // CN code // Description // // // 6702 // Artificial flowers, foliage and fruit and parts thereof; articles made of artificial flowers, foliage of fruit // //
