THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), extended for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas Article 11 of the abovementioned Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties may be re-established at any time in respect of imports of the products in question once the relevant individual ceilings have been reached at Community level;

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 478/93 of 25 February 1993 establishing ceilings and Community surveillance for imports of certain products originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and in the territory of the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (1993)
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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3953/92 of 21 December 1992 concerning the arrangements applicable to the import into the Community of products originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and the territory of the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (1) provides for exemption from customs duty and charges having an equivalent effect for almost all products falling within Chapters 25 to 97 of the combined nomenclature and originating in those Republics; whereas
Article 3
of that Regulation stipulates that the products listed in Annexes C I to C IV hereto should be subject to annual import ceilings, the exceeding of which may result in reintroduction of the customs duties applicable to third countries; whereas, under these circumstances, the Commission must be kept regularly informed of the trend of imports of the said products and whereas it is therefore necessary for imports of those products to be subject to surveillance; whereas the said tariff ceilings should therefore be opened for 1993;
Whereas within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Portuguese Republic should apply the duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4150/87 of 21 December 1987 amending Regulations (EEC) No 449/86 and (EEC) No 2573/87 (2);
Whereas Community surveillance may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on charging imports of the products in question against the ceilings at Community level as and when those products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation; whereas this administrative procedure must make provision for the possibility of reintroducing customs duties as soon as the ceilings are reached at Community level;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to follow the progress of quantities charged against the ceilings and keep the Member States informed; whereas this cooperation has to be particularly close since the Commission must be able to take appropriate measures to reintroduce customs duties if one of the ceilings is reached,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1993, imports into the Community of certain products originating in the Republics of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and in the territory of the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia and listed in Annexes C I, C II, CIII and C IV to Regulation (EEC) No 3953/92 shall be subject to ceilings and Communit surveillance.
The description of the products referred to in the first subparagraph, their combined nomenclature codes and the corresponding ceilings or sub-ceilings are set out in the said Annexes. In Annex C II, the ceilings are indicated in column 4 (b).
Within the limit of these tariff quotas, the Portuguese Republic shall apply the duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 4150/87.
2. The ceilings laid down for certain products listed in Annex C II wich have been the subject of an outward processing operation in accordance with the Community rules on economic outward processing are indicated in column 4 (a).
3. Quantities shall be charged against the ceilings or sub-ceilings as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation accompanied by a movement certificate in accordance with the rules of origin adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common definition of the concept of the origin of goods (3).
With regard to the ceilings established for categories 5, 6, 7, 8, 15 and 16 of column 4 (a) of Annex C II, reimported goods which have been the subject of an outward processing operation in accordance with the Community rules on economic outward processing may be charged against the respective ceilings only if the movement certificate issued by the competent authorities of the Republics or territory in question contains a reference to the prior authorization provided for by the Community rules on economic outward processing.
Goods may be charged against a ceiling or sub-ceiling only if the movement certificate is presented before the date on which customs duties are reintroduced.
The extent to which the ceilings and sub-ceilings are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first, second and third subparagraphs.
Member States shall periodically inform the Commission of imports charged in accordance with the above procedure; such information shall be supplied in the manner laid down in paragraph 5.
4. As soon as the ceilings or sub-ceilings have been reached, the Commission may adopt a Regulation reintroducing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties actually applied in respect of third countries.
5. Member States shall send the Commission not later than the fifteenth day of each month statements of the quantities charged during the preceding month. If the Commission so requests, they shall provide such statements for a period of 10 days and forward them within five clear days of the end of each 10-day period.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Commission Decision 85/472/EEC (3) granted the Member States the option of authorizing imports into their territory, under certain conditions and from certain regions, of fresh meat from Zimbabwe, taking into account, in particular, the existing health situation in that country and the measures taken by that country's authorities to combat foot-and-mouth disease and to avoid its spreading into other, unaffected regions;

Whereas the supply arrangements are laid down for the period 1 July to 30 June; whereas the definitive supply balance for the 1997/98 marketing year should therefore apply from the start of that year, i.e. 1 July 1997;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 August 1983

(83/438/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 11 February 1983, Belgium requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Coherent - Single Frequency He Ne Laser, model 200', ordered on 17 November 1981 and intended to be used for determining the frequency of all radiation produced by another tunable laser and in particular for the study of the structures and properties of gaseous molecules, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 5 July 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a laser; whereas its objective technical characteristics, such as the precision of the frequency, and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of equivalent scientific value capable of use for the same purpose is not currently manufactured in the Community; whereas, therefore, duty-free admission of this apparatus is justified,
The apparatus described as 'Coherent - Single Frequency He Ne Laser, model 200', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 11 February 1983, may be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 March 1995 amending Decision 94/381/EC concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein (Text with EEA relevance) (95/60/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Whereas cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have been reported in the United Kingdom and some other Member States; whereas scrapie is also known to exist in several Member States;
Whereas the origin of BSE in cattle is considered to be from ruminant protein which contained agents of animal spongiform encephopathies, which had not been sufficiently processed to inactivate the infectious agents; whereas the Scientific Veterinary Committee has stated that it is not possible at present to define processes which can guarantee total inactivation of the agents in the commercial rendering industry, in the light of recent studies;
Whereas, in order to protect ruminant species from the risk that methods for the processing of protein may not completely inactivate these agents, the Commission has adopted Decision 94/381/EC of 27 June 1994 concerning certain protection measures with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy and the feeding of mammalian derived protein (3);
Whereas, however, the BSE subgroup of the Scientific Veterinary Committee has evaluated the risk from certain animal products and by-products and has recommended that certain of these may be exempted from the provisions of Decision 94/381/EC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The following paragraph is added to Article 1 of Decision 94/381/EC:
'3. The prohibition mentioned in paragraph 1 shall not apply to:
- milk,
- gelatin,
- amino acids produced from hides and skins by a process which involves exposure of the material to a pH of 1 to 2 followed by a pH of > 11 followed by heat treatment at 140 °C for 30 minutes at 3 bar,
- dicalcium phosphate derived from defatted bones,
- dried plasma and other blood products.'

(2) However, since the extension of the periods of reflection for the issuing of licenses is a temporary and exceptional measure, Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2558/1999 also lays down that the Commission may repeal this measure and re-establish the status quo in force before its application as soon as it notes that no disturbance has arisen in data transmission connected with the transition from 1999 to the year 2000 or that there is no further disturbance.
(3) In view of the fact that disturbances in the transmission of data from the Member States to the Commission have not arisen Regulation (EC) No 2558/1999 should be repealed and the status quo in force before its application should be re-established as regards the periods for reflection in force for the issuing of export licences,
Regulation (EC) No 2558/1999 is hereby repealed.
Provided that no special measures are taken by the Commission, the periods for reflection for the issuing of export licences with advance fixing of the refund shall be the periods referred to in the following provisions:
- Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999(3),
- Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95(4),
- Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1370/95(5),

- the second indent of Article 9(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1464/95(13),
- Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1223/94(14).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
However, licences applied for prior to the entry into force of this Regulation for which the periods for reflection referred to in Article 1 have expired by that date shall be issued without delay. For all other licence applications the periods for reflection referred to in Article 1 shall apply.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2800/98 allows Member States to grant compensation to farmers who have suffered the effects of an appreciable revaluation; whereas part of that compensation is specifically to offset certain actual reductions in direct aid; whereas that Regulation lays down certain conditions for granting compensation and its phasing over time, and indicates the method for determining the maximum amount that may be allocated by a Member State; whereas the compensation concerned is financed entirely or in part by the Community budget;
Whereas it is necessary to define the operative event that determines the exchange rate used to convert amounts expressed in euros; whereas, to facilitate financial management, the payment of more than one annual instalment of compensation in the same budget year should be avoided; whereas, to take account of the European Community's international commitments, and in the interests of administrative transparency, the procedures to be followed by Member States wishing to grant compensation should be laid down;
Whereas, in order to fulfil its purpose, the compensation must be granted directly to the beneficiaries, in principle farmers, within a fixed period and for amounts not exceeding the income losses concerned; whereas, however, to avoid administrative complications arising from the grant of small amounts to beneficiaries, simplified procedures may be used in certain cases;

The maximum amount of the compensatory aid referred to in Article 4(2) resulting from a reduction in the agricultural conversion rate frozen until 1 January 1999 shall be increased by the inverse of the relation between the rate referred to in Article 5 and the agricultural conversion rate referred to above.
Article 10(2), (3), (4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 shall apply to compensatory aid under this Title.
TITLE III
General and transitional provisions
The general provisions in Articles 11, 12, 13 and 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 shall apply to compensatory aid under Titles I and II of this Regulation.

Whereas, since the adoption of Directive 77/93/EEC, special requirements relating to the importation of certain seeds into certain Member States have been included in the said Directive by amendment to Annex IV, Part B; whereas Member States are required by Article 6 (2) to lay down inspection measures in order to ensure compliance with the requirements set out in the Annexes to the said Directive; whereas the measures to ensure compliance with the requirements relating to the introduction of seeds into the Member States set out in Part B as well as those set out in Part A of Annex IV should be determined at Community level;
Whereas the period specified for the determination of the necessary measures at Community level has not been sufficient and should therefore be extended,
In Article 7 (3) of Directive 77/93/EEC:
- 'Article 6 (3)' is replaced by 'Article 6 (2), in so far as seeds referred to in Annex IV, Part B are concerned and Article 6 (3)', and

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 1 of 21 April 1970 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco, and in particular Article 9 (4) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas international trade in raw tobacco is concerned only with baled tobacco, the only form in which it may be stored in technically satisfactory conditions ; whereas, therefore, the granting of export refunds on raw tobacco should be limited to baled tobacco produced from leaf tobacco harvested in the Community;
Whereas price and marketing conditions vary according to the varieties of tobacco harvested in the Community ; whereas it is therefore necessary to fix the refund at different amounts for each variety;
Whereas the baled tobacco produced from leaf tobacco of a particular harvest may be marketed over a relatively lengthy period ; whereas certain of the factors on which the criteria for fixing the refund are based may vary according to the year in which the tobacco is produced ; whereas, therefore, provision should be made to vary the refund on a particular variety of tobacco according to the crop year;
Whereas the refunds must be fixed in accordance with certain criteria which enable the difference to be covered between the prices of baled tobacco produced in the Community for which a premium has been granted and world prices ; whereas, moreover, account should also be taken, for each variety, of the conditions under which the produce is disposed of commercially in the Community;
Whereas in order to determine the amount it is also necessary to take into consideration market preparation, transport and shipment costs incurred;
Whereas provision should be made for varying the amount of the refund according to the destination of the products to take account of the varying distances of markets from the Community market and of the special conditions applying to imports in certain countries of destination;
Whereas the factors to be taken into account in applying Article 9 (1) second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, should be determined;
Whereas, to avoid distortions of competition, the trade should be subject to the same administrative conditions throughout the Community;
The granting of export refunds on raw tobacco shall be limited to baled tobacco produced from leaf tobacco harvested in the Community.
1. The refunds shall be determined for each variety produced in the Community in the light of the following factors: (a) the situation and trend: - of prices, supply and demand in the Community;
- of world prices; 1OJ No L 94, 28.4.1970, p. 1.
(b) the lowest market preparation and transport costs within the Community and the lowest shipment costs to the country of destination;
(c) the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
2. The refund may vary for tobacco of a given variety according to the crop Year.
When the world market situation or the special requirements of certain markets make it necessary, the Community refund for one or more varieties may vary according to their destination.
In order to assess the exceptional cases referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, account shall be taken in particular of the special conditions existing for certain export markets, such as exceptionally high transport costs or the special characteristics of these markets.
1. The refund shall be paid upon proof that the products: (a) have been grown in the Community;
(b) have come from the crop for which the refund is requested;
(c) have been exported from the Community.
2. Where Article 3 applies, the refund shall be paid under the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 provided it is shown that the product has reached the destination for which the refund was fixed.
However, exceptions may be made to this rule in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 3, provided conditions are laid down offering equivalent guarantees.
3. Additional provisions, in particular for regulating the granting of refunds, may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2142/2004 (3).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made. Such a difference has arisen. It is therefore necessary to adjust the import duties fixed in Regulation (EC) No 2142/2004,

|
Council Decision
of 22 July 2002
establishing a framework programme on police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (AGIS)
(2002/630/JHA)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 30(1), Article 31 and Article 34(2)(c) thereof,
Having regard to the initiative from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) Article 29 of the Treaty on European Union states that the Union's objective is to provide citizens with a high level of safety within an area of freedom, security and justice by developing common action among the Member States in the fields of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and by preventing and combating racism and xenophobia.
(2) The conclusions of the Tampere European Council of October 1999 call for cooperation to be stepped up on preventing and fighting crime, including crime using new information and communication technologies, in order to achieve a genuine European area of justice. The importance of cooperation in this area has again been emphasised in the action plan entitled The prevention and control of organised crime: a European Union strategy for the beginning of the new millennium(3).
(3) Article 12 of the Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA of 15 March 2001 on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings(4) calls for cooperation between Member States in order to facilitate more effective protection of victims' interests in criminal proceedings.
(4) It is appropriate to widen the European dimension of projects to three Member States or to two Member States and an applicant country in order to promote the formation of partnerships and the exchange of information and good national practice.
(5) The Grotius II - Criminal(5), Stop II(6), Oisin II(7), Hippokrates(8) and Falcone(9) programmes, established by the Council, have helped to strengthen cooperation between the police and judiciary in the Member States and to improve mutual understanding of their police, judicial, legal and administrative systems.
(6) Following approval by the Feira European Council in June 2000 of the European Union Action Plan on Drugs (2000 to 2004), actions to combat drug trafficking are also included in this framework programme.
(7) The establishment of a single framework programme, expressly called for by the European Parliament and the Council when the previous programmes were adopted, will further boost cooperation by way of a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach involving the various persons responsible for preventing and combating crime at European Union level. In doing so, it is necessary to maintain a balanced approach between various activities aiming at the creation of the area of freedom, security and justice.
(8) It is desirable to ensure the continuity of the activities supported by the framework programme, by providing for their coordination within a single frame of reference that rationalises procedures and improves management and economies of scale. Moreover, it is necessary to make full use of the operational benefits of the programme, in particular for law enforcement authorities, and to encourage cooperation between the Member States' law enforcement authorities and to provide such authorities with a greater insight into the working methods of their counterparts in other Member States and constraints by which they may be bound.
(9) The expenditure of the framework programme should be compatible with the current ceiling under Heading 3 of the financial perspective.
(10) The annual appropriations of the framework programme should be decided upon by the budgetary authority during the budgetary procedure.
(11) The framework programme needs to be made accessible to the applicant countries, as partners and participants in the projects funded under that programme. Where appropriate, participation of other States in that programme could also be envisaged.
(12) The measures required to implement this Decision should be adopted according to the procedures laid down in it, with the assistance of a Committee.
(13) To increase the added value of the projects implemented under this Decision, it is necessary to ensure consistency and complementarity between these projects and other forms of Community intervention.
(14) Regular monitoring and evaluation of the framework programme need to be ensured so that the effectiveness of the projects carried out can be assessed in the light of the objectives and so that the priorities can be re-adjusted if necessary.
(15) A financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure(10), is included in this Decision for the entire duration of the framework programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty establishing the European Community,

of 4 June 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 88/97 on the authorization of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 502/2013 of 29 May 2013 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 990/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China following an interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (2),
Having regard to the extension of the anti-dumping duty on bicycles imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3) to bicycle parts imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (4),
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 71/97, the Council extended the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on imports of bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’) to imports of certain bicycle parts from that country (‘extended anti-dumping duty’). Regulation (EC) No 71/97 also stipulated that an exemption scheme should be established on the basis of Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation (‘the exemption scheme’) to enable assemblers not circumventing the measure on bicycles to import Chinese bicycle parts free of antidumping duty, by exempting them from the measure extended to bicycle parts.
(2) The legal framework for the operation of the exemption scheme was provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (5) (hereinafter ‘the Amended Regulation’).
(3) Following a review of the extension of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of bicycles originating in the PRC to imports of certain bicycle parts from the PRC pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 13(4) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 171/2008 (6), decided to maintain the anti-circumvention measures.
(4) Following an interim review investigation pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1095/2005 (7), decided to increase the anti-dumping duty in force to 48,5 %.
(5) By Notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(8) (‘the Notice’) the European Commission (‘the Commission’) initiated an interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of bicycles originating in the PRC. In point 4.4 of the Notice interested parties were invited to comment on the functioning and possible future model of the exemption scheme. Comments were sought in particular in relation to the operation and management of the exemption scheme in its current form, including challenges faced by the small and medium-sized enterprises.
(6) No pertinent comments have been received. However, as a consequence of the experience gathered by the Commission, while applying the exemption scheme, it is considered necessary to introduce some amendments, which will facilitate its operation.
(7) Under the current exemption scheme, the definition of the investigation period, does not allow for an appropriate assessment of the quantity and value of Chinese parts used in EU bicycle assembly operations. The rules in force prescribe that, the investigation period has to be set at a time prior to the date of suspension of anti-dumping duties. During this period, applicants usually import small quantities from the PRC, as quantities above 299 parts per month would be subject to an anti-dumping duty. Consequently, it would appear that bicycles assembled during the investigation period comply with the rules set out in Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation which states that bicycle producers in the Union have to respect a ratio of less than 60 % of Chinese bicycle parts in their operation or the addition of more than 25 % value to all parts brought into the operation (‘60/40 or 25 % value added’ rule).
(8) It is only after the suspension has been granted that the companies start to import higher volumes. Yet, under the rules currently in force this period cannot be taken into consideration. Therefore, the underlying aim of the scheme ‘to ensure the use of an appropriate proportion of parts originating in Europe’ cannot be fully achieved.
(9) Against this background and for reasons of legal certainty, it is considered appropriate to amend the definition of the investigation period under Article 6(1) to include also the time after the date of suspension of payment of the extended anti-dumping duty. Compliance with the ‘60/40 or 25 % value added’ rule will then be verified more appropriately for a period during which the importer pays no anti-dumping duties, i.e. after the suspension is granted.
(10) In order to allow an applicant to submit verifiable data of its imports of bicycle parts for the period prior to the suspension pursuant to Article 4(1)(b) of the Amended Regulation, the reference to irrevocable contractual obligation under Article 4(1)(a) is removed.
(11) Furthermore, the current scheme is unclear in respect of imports of bicycle parts used for the assembly of cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars, sometimes referred to as electrical bicycles or pedelecs. Complete electrical bicycles and consequently the parts for the assembly of electrical bicycles are subject neither to the anti-dumping duty nor to the extended anti-dumping duty i.e. the assembly operations of electrical bikes remain outside the scope of Regulation (EC) No 71/97. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to extend the existing provisions under Article 14 for ‘end use control’ of parts intended for the assembly of electrical bicycles. The ‘end-use-control’ provisions enable national customs authorities to trace the final use of imported parts, i.e. use for assembly of classical bicycles or electrical bicycles.
(12) Furthermore, it is considered appropriate to delete Article 16(3) since required data can be retrieved from other sources.
(13) Finally, it is proposed to correct clerical errors and amend obsolete references in the Amended Regulation.
(14) In the interests of legal certainty and the principle of sound administration, it is necessary to provide that the amendments to the Amended Regulation provided for in this Regulation are to apply as soon as possible to all new and to all pending investigations.
(15) Regulation (EC) No 88/97 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 88/97 is hereby amended as follows:
(1) Article 3(1) is replaced by the following:

The number of parts declared by or delivered to any party shall be calculated by reference to the number of parts declared by or delivered to all parties which are associated with or have compensatory arrangements with that party; or’;
(11) in Article 14 the following subparagraph (d) is added:
‘(d) the essential bicycle parts are for use in the assembly of cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor (TARIC additional code 8835).’;
(12) Article 16(3) is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and shall apply to all new and to all pending investigations as of its entry into force.
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 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 7 December 1999, the Commission adopted Decision 1999/815/EC(2) based on Article 9 of Directive 92/59/EEC requiring the Member States to prohibit the placing on the market of toys and childcare articles intended to be placed in the mouth by children under three years of age, made of soft PVC containing one or more of the substances di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), and butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP).
(2) The validity of Decision 1999/815/EC was limited to three months, in accordance with the provision of Article 11(2) of Directive 92/59/EEC, therefore, the validity of the Decision was to expire on 8 March 2000.
(3) Article 11(2) of Directive 92/59/EEC states that the validity of the measures adopted on the basis of Article 9 of the said Directive is limited to three months, but may be prolonged under the same procedure foreseen for the adoption of these measures.
(4) When adopting Decision 1999/815/EC it was foreseen to prolong its validity if necessary. The validity of the measures adopted under Decision 1999/815/EC on the basis of Article 9 of Article 92/59/EEC was prolonged under Commission Decisions 2000/217/EC(3), 2000/381/EC(4), 2000/535/EC(5), 2000/769/EC(6), 2001/195/EC(7) and 2001/467/EC(8) for an additional period of three months each time, in accordance with the provision of Article 11(2) of the said Directive; therefore the validity of the Decision is to expire on 6 September 2001.
(5) Some relevant developments have taken place recently concerning the validation of phthalates migration test methods. However, further work in this area is still necessary to try to solve some crucial outstanding difficulties.
(6) The reasons which motivated Decision 1999/815/EC and its prolongation under Decisions 2000/217/EC, 2000/381/EC, 2000/535/EC, 200/769/EC, 2001/195/EC and 2001/467/EC are still valid and it is therefore necessary to maintain the prohibition of the placing on the market of the products considered.
(7) Certain Member States have implemented Decision 1999/815/EC as modified by Decisions 2000/217/EC, 2000/381/EC, 2000/535/EC, 2000/769/EC, 2001/195/EC and 2001/467/EC by measures applicable until 6 September 2001. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that the validity of these measures is prolonged.
(8) It is therefore necessary to prolong the validity of Decision 1999/815/EC for a seventh time in order to ensure that all the Member States maintain the prohibition provided for by that Decision. According to Article 11(2) of Directive 92/59/EEC the validity may be prolonged for a period of three months.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Emergencies Committee,
In Article 5 of Decision 1999/815/EC the words "6 September 2001" are replaced by the words "21 November 2001".
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Decision within less than 10 days of its notification. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Articles 30 and 32(8) thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2009/367/EC (2) cleared, for the 2008 financial year, the accounts of all the paying agencies except for the Belgian paying agency ‘ALV’, The German paying agency ‘Baden-Württemberg’, the Greek paying agency ‘OPEKEPE’, the Italian paying agency ‘ARBEA’, the Maltese paying agency ‘MRRA’, the Portuguese paying agency ‘IFAP’ and the Romanian paying agency ‘PIAA’.
(2) Following the transmission of new information and after additional checks, the Commission can now take a decision on the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted by the Belgian paying agency ‘ALV’, the German paying agency ‘Baden-Württemberg’, the Maltese paying agency ‘MRRA’, the Portuguese paying agency ‘IFAP’ and the Romanian paying agency ‘PIAA’.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (3) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) of the said Regulation, shall be determined by deducting advances paid during the financial year in question, i.e. 2008, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with paragraph 1. Such amounts are to be deducted from, or added to, the advances against expenditure from the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.
(4) Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the Community budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States' reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 885/2006. Annex III to the said Regulation provides the model table that had to be provided in 2009 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than four or eight years respectively. This Decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
(5) Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the Community budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the Community budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation.
(6) In clearing the accounts of the paying agencies concerned, the Commission must take account of the amounts already withheld from the Member States concerned on the basis of Decision 2009/367/EC.
(7) In accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, this Decision does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from Community financing expenditure not effected in accordance with Community rules,
The accounts of the Belgian paying agency ‘ALV’, the German paying agency ‘Baden-Württemberg’, the Maltese paying agency ‘MRRA’, the Portuguese paying agency ‘IFAP’ and the Romanian paying agency ‘PIAA’ concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), in respect of the 2008 financial year, are hereby cleared.
The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State concerned pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in Annex.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Malta, the Portuguese Republic and Romania.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(3), and in particular Article 7(4) thereof,
After consulting the Committee for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 stipulate that the Commission is to exclude expenditure from Community financing where it finds that it has not been incurred in accordance with Community rules.
(2) The above Articles of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 as well as Article 8(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for the clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2025/2001(5), provide that the Commission is to carry out the necessary checks, forward its findings to the Member States, consider any comments from the latter, enter into bilateral discussions to reach an agreement with the Member States concerned and formally communicate its conclusions to them, referring to Commission Decision 94/442/EC of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of the clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section(6), as last amended by Decision 2001/535/EC(7).
(3) The Member States have had the opportunity to request that a conciliation procedure be initiated. That procedure has been applied in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been considered by the Commission.
(4) Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 provide that refunds on exports to third countries and intervention intended to stabilise agricultural markets may be financed only where they are either granted or undertaken in accordance with the Community rules governing the common organisations of agricultural markets.
(5) The findings of checks performed, the results of bilateral discussions and the outcome of the conciliation procedures have shown that some expenditure declared by the Member States does not meet those conditions and cannot therefore be financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
(6) The Annex to this Decision sets out the amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commission's written notification of the results of the checks to the Member States.
(7) As regards the cases covered by this Decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with Community rules was notified by the Commission to the Member States and is set out in a summary report on the subject.
(8) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 14 October 2002 and relating to its content,
The expenditure itemised in the Annex hereto that has been incurred by the Member States' accredited paying agencies and declared under the EAGGF Guarantee Section is hereby excluded from Community financing because it does not comply with Community rules.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Portuguese Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2158/85 of 25 July 1985 applying supplementary generalized tariff preferences in respect of certain products originating in developing countries and sold at the Berlin 'Partners in Progress' Fair
|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2158/85
of 25 July 1985
applying supplementary generalized tariff preferences in respect of certain products originating in developing countries and sold at the Berlin 'Partners in Progress' Fair
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the overseas imports fair 'Partners in Progress' is organized every year in Berlin with a view to improving the access to world markets of products originating in developing countries;
Whereas the Community has already recognized the importance of this Fair by granting, most recently under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 661/85 (1), supplementary quotas for textile products;
Whereas, in view of the specific features of the Berlin Fair and of the unique situation of Berlin, certain measures should be taken in the field of generalized preferences;
Whereas, in accordance with its offer made within the context of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Community opened, in particular, generalized tariff preferences commencing in 1971 and most recently under Council Regulations (EEC) No 3562/84 (2) and (EEC) No 3563/84 (3) in respect of finished and semi-finished industrial products and textile products originating in developing countries;
Whereas, in the past, certain products covered by the system of quotas, ceilings or by other tariff measures and sold through contracts concluded at the Berlin Fair could not benefit from the preferences, the allocated textile quotas or ceilings having been used up or the collection of customs duties having been resumed before the Fair's opening date; whereas extra latitude ought therefore to be extended to developing countries to enable them to benefit from the generalized tariff preferences for products sold through contracts concluded at the fair in question; whereas, however, this extra latitude should be limited to 3 % of the levels of the tariff measures applicable to each product or group of products under the abovementioned Regulations and should take the form of tariff quotas to be administered by the Commission;
Whereas, without prejudice to the specific provisions of this Regulation, those provisions of the annual Regulations applying generalized tariff preferences in respect in particular of beneficiary countries, the concept of originating products and the exchange of statistical data should be applied to the tariff quotas in question;
Whereas it is appropriate, however, to exclude from the scope of this Regulation certain products originating in particular beneficiary countries;
Whereas declarations of release into free circulation submitted with a view to the importation of the products in question should be accompanied by the certificate of origin and by the contract concluded at the Berlin Fair, the latter certified by the competent German authorities;
Whereas the German authorities must ensure that certifications of contracts concluded at the Berlin Fair do not exceed the permitted supplementary quantities;
Whereas the method of administration adopted requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission,
1. From 25 September 1985 to 31 March 1986, supplementary Community tariff quotas shall be opened, subject to Article 4, in respect of imports of products mentioned:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2000/258/EC of 20 March 2000 designating a specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 2000/258/EC designated the laboratory of the Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments de Nancy (the AFSSA laboratory, Nancy), France as the institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines. That Decision also provides for the AFSSA laboratory, Nancy to send to the Commission the list of Community laboratories to be authorised to carry out those serological tests. Accordingly, the AFSSA laboratory, Nancy operates the established proficiency testing procedure to appraise laboratories for authorisation to perform the serological tests.
(2) Commission Decision 2004/233/EC of 4 March 2004 authorising laboratories to check the effectiveness of vaccination against rabies in certain domestic carnivores (2) established a list of approved laboratories in the Member States on the grounds of the results of the proficiency tests communicated by the AFSSA laboratory, Nancy.
(3) Three laboratories, respectively in the Netherlands, Poland and Portugal, have been approved by the AFSSA laboratory, Nancy, in compliance with Decision 2000/258/EC.
(4) Accordingly, it is appropriate to add those three laboratories to the list of approved laboratories in the Member States as established in the Annex to Decision 2004/233/EC.
(5) In addition, following the request of Germany, certain amendments should be made to the addresses of two German laboratories.
(6) Furthermore, following the request of Slovenia, the name of the diagnostic laboratory in that Member State should be amended.
(7) Decision 2004/233/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2004/233/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 12 July 2010
concerning the allocation of the funds decommitted from projects under the ninth and previous European Development Funds (EDF) for the purpose of addressing the needs of the most vulnerable population in Sudan
(2010/406/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the financing of Community aid under the multi-annual financial framework for the period 2008 to 2013 in accordance with the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement and on the allocation of financial assistance for the Overseas Countries and Territories to which Part Four of the EC Treaty applies (1), and in particular Article 1(4) and Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Government of Sudan decided not to ratify the Partnership Agreement between the Members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (2), as first amended in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005 (3), thereby losing access to the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) National Indicative Programme (NIP) with a total allocation of EUR 294,9 million, which is now kept in the 10th EDF.
(2) The current political situation in Sudan, as well as the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, South Sudan, East Sudan and the Transitional Areas, requires a strong engagement of the European Union, including through the provision of vital assistance to the Sudanese population. The gap left by the non-availability of the 10th EDF will seriously reduce the capacity of the Union to assist the population and to help stabilise the country, which could have consequences for the wider region.
(3) In order to bridge the financing gap which will occur, it is appropriate to use funds decommitted from the ninth and previous EDFs.
(4) The funds should be used to address the needs of the most vulnerable populations in Sudan, in particular in the conflict-affected areas, including Darfur, South Sudan, East Sudan and the Transitional Areas. They will be allocated on the basis of a financing decision to be adopted by the Commission. Provision should also be made to cover the cost of support measures.
(5) These funds should be managed through centralised and joint management and, for the purpose of simplification, according to the implementation arrangements for the 10th EDF,
1. An amount of EUR 150 million from the funds decommitted from projects under the ninth and previous EDFs shall be allocated for the purpose of addressing the needs of the most vulnerable population in Sudan; 2 % of this amount shall be allocated for support expenditure by the Commission.
2. These funds shall be managed through centralised and joint management in accordance with the rules and procedures applicable for the 10th EDF.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its adoption.

Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.

(3) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 should therefore be updated accordingly.
(4) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, it should enter into force immediately,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

97/212/EC: Council Decision of 17 March 1997 authorizing the Republic of Finland to apply a measure derogating from Article 9 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 17 March 1997 authorizing the Republic of Finland to apply a measure derogating from Article 9 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (97/212/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas, by letter to the Commission registered on 6 December 1996, the Republic of Finland requested authorization to introduce a measure derogating from Article 9 of Directive 77/388/EEC;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 20 December 1996 of the request made by the Republic of Finland;
Whereas the measure is necessary to counter the tax avoidance effects that have led a growing number of Community taxable and non-taxable persons to purchase telecommunications services outside the Community in order to avoid payment of VAT; whereas the measure is furthermore necessary to discourage suppliers of telecommunications services established in a Member State from establishing themselves outside the Community;
Whereas the measure is also necessary to simplify the procedure for charging the tax insofar as it provides the same tax obligations for customers of telecommunications services regardless of whether these services are performed by suppliers established inside or outside the Community;
Whereas the derogations will not affect, except to a negligible extent, the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage and will not therefore have an adverse effect on the European Communities' own resources arising from value-added tax;
Whereas it is necessary to grant this measure from 1 January 1997 in order to remedy as quickly as possible a situation undermining the competitiveness of European telecommunications companies; whereas from 1 January 1997 the customers and the suppliers of telecommunications services had no longer a legitimate confidence in the continuation of the legislation in force at that date;
Whereas it is desirable that the derogation should be granted until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date, in order to allow the Council to adopt a general Community solution based on the Commission proposal,
By way of derogation from Article 9 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Republic of Finland is authorized to include, within Article 9 (2) (e) of the Directive, telecommunications services. In the case of a Member State making use of this facility, the provisions of Article 9 (3) (b) of the Directive shall also apply to these services.
Telecommunications services shall be deemed to be services relating to the transmission, emission or reception of signals, writing, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems, including the transfer or assignment of the right to use capacity for such transmission, emission or reception.
This Decision may be applied to telecommunications services in respect of which the chargeable event took place from 1 January 1997. It will also apply to prepayments made in respect of telecommunications services paid for before the date of implementation of this Decision by the Member State insofar as these prepayments cover supplies of telecommunications services which are performed after the date of implementation.
The authorization specified in this Decision shall apply until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Finland.

Whereas, as provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;
Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN code 9403 80 00, originating in Indonesia and the Philippines, the individual ceiling was fixed at 2 431 000; whereas, on 29 April 1992, imports of these products into the Community originating in Indonesia and the Philippines reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Indonesia and the Philippines,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 904/2008 (2) lays down the methods, procedures and formulae to be used for the calculation of the data obtained from the analysis of goods as set out in Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3).
(2) Regulation (EC) No 904/2008 has been examined by a group of experts, with a view to assessing whether that Regulation takes account of the scientific and technological evolution of the methods laid down in that Regulation. Studies and tests carried out in the framework of that examination indicate that the determination of the starch (or dextrin) content by hydrolysis by means of sodium hydroxide and the determination of the glucose content using the enzymatic method with spectrophotometry as prescribed for most goods now, do not meet any longer the current technical requirements and are therefore to be updated.
(3) It is therefore appropriate to provide that the determination of starch (or dextrin) content is to be carried out in an enzymatic way by amylase and amyloglucosidase and that the glucose content is to be determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), as set out in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 900/2008 of 16 September 2008 laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the application of the arrangements for imports of certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (4) as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 118/2010 (5).
(4) Regulation (EC) No 904/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 904/2008, point 2 is replaced by the following:
‘2. Starch (or dextrin)
1. For all CN codes other than CN codes 3505 10 10, 3505 10 90, 3505 20 10 to 3505 20 90 and 3809 10 10 to 3809 10 90, the starch (or dextrin) content referred to in column 3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 shall be calculated using the formula:
Z = is the glucose content determined by the method described in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 900/2008 (6);
G = is the glucose content before enzymatic treatment, determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
2. For CN codes 3505 10 10, 3505 10 90, 3505 20 10 to 3505 20 90 and 3809 10 10 to 3809 10 90, the starch (or dextrin) content shall be determined by the method set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 900/2008.

Whereas, for the sake of clarity, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 20/82 of 6 January 1982 on special detailed rules for applying the system of import and export licences for sheepmeat and goatmeat (5) should also be amended to include the German Democratic Republic among the third countries listed in Article 1 (b); whereas, at the same time, that provision should also list Czecoslovakia, which does not appear therein as a result of a clerical error;

|
REGULATION No 19/65/EEC OF THE COUNCIL of 2 March 1965 on application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 87 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 Article 85 (1) of the Treaty may in accordance with Article 85 (3) be declared inapplicable to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices which fulfil the conditions contained in Article 85 (3);
Whereas the provisions for implementation of Article 85 (3) must be adopted by way of regulation pursuant to Article 87;
Whereas in view of the large number of notifications submitted in pursuance of Regulation No 17(3) it is desirable that in order to facilitate the task of the Commission it should be enabled to declare by way of regulation that the provisions of Article 85 (1) do not apply to certain categories of agreements and concerted practices;
Whereas it should be laid down under what conditions the Commission, in close and constant liaison with the competent authorities of the Member States, may exercise such powers after sufficient experience has been gained in the light of individual decisions and it becomes possible to define categories of agreements and concerted practices in respect of which the conditions of Article 85 (3) may be considered as being fulfilled;
Whereas the Commission has indicated by the action it has taken, in particular by Regulation No 153, (4) that there can be no easing of the procedures prescribed by Regulation No 17 in respect of certain types of agreements and concerted practices that are particularly liable to distort competition in the common market;
Whereas under Article 6 of Regulation No 17 the Commission may provide that a decision taken pursuant to Article 85 (3) of the Treaty shall apply with retroactive effect ; whereas it is desirable that the Commission be also empowered to adopt, by regulation, provisions to the like effect;
Whereas under Article 7 of Regulation No 17 agreements, decisions and concerted practices may, by decision of the Commission, be exempted from prohibition in particular if they are modified in such manner that they statisfy the requirements of Article 85 (3) ; whereas it is desirable that the Commission be enabled to grant like exemption by regulation to such agreements and concerted practices if they are modified in such manner as to fall within a category defined in an exempting regulation;
Whereas, since there can be no exemption if the conditions set out in Article 85 (3) are not satisfied, the Commission must have power to lay down by decision the conditions that must be satisfied by an agreement or concerted practice which owing to special circumstances has certain effects incompatible with Article 85 (3); (1) OJ No 81, 27.5.1964, p. 1275/64. (2) OJ No 197, 30.11.1964, p. 3320/64. (3) OJ No 13, 21.2.1962, p. 204/62 (Regulation No 17 as amended by Regulation No 59 - OJ No 58, 10.7.1962, p. 1655/62 - and Regulation No 118/63/EEC - OJ No 162, 7.11.1963, p. 2696/63. (4) OJ No 139, 24.12.1962, p. 2918/62.
1. Without prejudice to the application of Council Regulation No 17 and in accordance with Article 85 (3) of the Treaty the Commission may by regulation declare that Article 85 (1) shall not apply to categories of agreements to which only two undertakings are party and: (a) - whereby one party agrees with the other to supply only to that other certain goods for resale within a defined area of the common market ; or
- whereby one party agrees with the other to purchase only from that other certain goods for resale ; or
- whereby the two undertakings have entered into obligations, as in the two preceding subparagraphs, with each other in respect of exclusive supply and purchase for resale;
(b) which include restrictions imposed in relation to the acquisition or use of industrial property rights-in particular of patents, utility models, designs or trade marks-or to the rights arising out of contracts for assignment of, or the right to use, a method of manufacture or knowledge relating to the use or to the application of industrial processes.
2. The regulation shall define the categories of agreements to which it applies and shall specify in particular: (a) the restrictions or clauses which must not be contained in the agreements;
(b) the clauses which must be contained in the agreements, or the other conditions which must be satisfied.
3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply by analogy to categories of concerted practices to which only two undertakings are party.
1. A regulation pursuant to Article 1 shall be made for a specified period.
2. It may be repealed or amended where circumstances have changed with respect to any factor which was basic to its being made ; in such case, a period shall be fixed for modification of the agreements and concerted practices to which the earlier regulation applies.
A regulation pursuant to Article 1 may stipulate that it shall apply with retroactive effect to agreements and concerted practices to which, at the date of entry into force of that regulation, a decision issued with retroactive effect in pursuance of Article 6 of Regulation No 17 would have applied.
1. A regulation pursuant to Article 1 may stipulate that the prohibition contained in Article 85 (1) of the Treaty shall not apply, for such period as shall be fixed by that regulation, to agreements and concerted practices already in existence on 13 March 1962 which do not satisfy the conditions of Article 85 (3), where: - within three months from the entry into force of the Regulation, they are so modified as to satisfy the said conditions in accordance with the provisions of the regulation ; and
- the modifications are brought to the notice of the Commission within the time limit fixed by the regulation.
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply to agreements and concerted practices which had to be notified before 1 February 1963, in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation No 17, only where they have been so notified before that date.
3. The benefit of the provisions laid down pursuant to paragraph 1 may not be claimed in actions pending at the date of entry into force of a regulation adopted pursuant to Article 1 ; neither may it be relied on as grounds for claims for damages against third parties.
Before adopting a regulation, the Commission shall publish a draft thereof and invite all persons concerned to submit their comments within such time limit, being not less than one month, as the Commission shall fix.
1. The Commission shall consult the Adivsory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Monopolies: (a) before publishing a draft regulation;
(b) before adopting a regulation.
2. Article 10 (5) and (6) of Regulation No 17, relating to consultation with the Advisory Committee, shall apply by analogy, it being understood that joint meetings with the Commission shall take place not earlier than one month after dispatch of the notice convening them.
Where the Commission, either on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State or of natural or legal persons claiming a legitimate interest, finds that in any particular case agreements or concerted practices to which a regulation adopted pursuant to Article 1 of this Regulation applies have nevertheless certain effects which are incompatible with the conditions laid down in Article 85 (3) of the Treaty, it may withdraw the benefit of application of that regulation and issue a decision in accordance with Articles 6 and 8 of Regulation No 17, without any notification under Article 4 (1) of Regulation No 17 being required.
The Commission shall, before 1 January 1970, submit to the Council a proposal for a Regulation for such amendment of this Regulation as may prove necessary in the light of experience.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), and in particular Articles 56 and 58 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) General rules for quality wine produced in specified regions (psr) are laid down in Title VI of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, and in several of the annexes thereto. These rules should be supplemented with implementing rules and the Regulations which previously dealt with that matter, Commission Regulations (EEC) No 1698/70(2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 986/89(3), (EEC) No 2236/73(4), (EEC) No 2082/74(5), as last amended by the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Hellenic Republic and the adjustments to the Treaties(6) and (EEC) No 2903/79(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 418/86(8), should be repealed.
(2) These rules were previously dispersed throughout a number of Community Regulations. It would be in the interests of economic operators in the Community and of the authorities responsible for applying Community rules to collate all these provisions in a single Regulation.
(3) That Regulation should include the current rules adapted to the new requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. It should also be simpler and more consistent, and provide complete coverage of the subject, which means that certain gaps must be filled in. In addition, some rules should be more specifically worded, to ensure greater legal certainty when they are applied.
(4) It should be specified that this Regulation applies without prejudice to any special provisions laid down in other areas.
(5) Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 provides for a number of lists of quality wines psr. Those lists must be established.
(6) Paragraph 3 of Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 requires the producer Member States to carry out systematic organoleptic tests for each quality wine psr produced on their territory.
(7) The task of comparing the results of tests with the specifications prescribed and of carrying out organoleptic tests should be entrusted to inspection boards.
(8) There should be provision regarding the use to be made of wines suitable for yielding quality wines psr that are not accepted as quality wines psr by the board concerned.
(9) The Commission should be informed of the measures taken by the Member States and of the manner in which they are applied.
(10) Pursuant to Article 56(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, a quality wine psr may be downgraded at the marketing stage in certain circumstances only. These circumstances should be specified and the use to which quality wines psr so downgraded may be put should be stated, as should the conditions for those uses. The competent authorities having the right to downgrade wines should be indicated.
(11) To avoid distorting competition, a downgraded quality wine psr must not be marketed under a designation similar to the designation which can no longer be allocated to it. For monitoring to operate smoothly, entries in stock movement registers must record the downgrading.
(12) For the Commission to be able to monitor the application by the competent authorities in the Member States of the provisions governing the downgrading of quality wines psr, the Member States should notify the Commission each year of the quantities of quality wine psr downgraded on their territory.
(13) The downgrading of a quality wine psr on the territory of a Member State other than that in which it originated should be carried out by a competent body of the Member State of origin. To that end, direct cooperation should be ensured between the bodies responsible in the Member States for the supervision of the production and marketing of quality wines psr and rules for such cooperation should be laid down. However, in order to simplify the administrative task of the Member States, it should be possible for the competent body of the Member State which has on its territory a small quantity of the quality wine psr in question to downgrade this quantity itself.
(14) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1032/84 (3), amending Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82, extended the existing measures for peas and field beans to cover sweet lupins; whereas the title of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2049/82 (4) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas, in order to ensure that market developments are suitably reflected, the average world market price of soya cake should be determined systematically, more than once a month, and should be calculated on basis of offers and quotations recorded during a short period preceding the day of its determination; whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2049/82 should be amended accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Dried Fodder,
Regulation (EEC) No 2049/82 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the title the words 'peas and field beans' are replaced by 'peas, field beans and sweet lupins'.
2. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'Article 1
1. The average world market price for soya cake mentioned in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 shall be determined twice monthly, in such a way as to allow the aid fixed on the basis of that price to be applied with effect from the first and the 16th day of each month. However, in the event of a major change in the market situation, it may be altered as often as necessary.
2. The price referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined for 100 kilograms and based on the most favurable offers and qotations recorded during a period beginning on the second working day preceding that of the determination, for delivery within 30 days of the date on which they are recorded'.
3. The following Article 3a is inserted.
'Article 3a
1. For the adjustment referred to in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 account shall be taken of the difference between the average world market price for soya cake, weighted by a coefficient reflecting the normal relationship between this price and that of the competing product mentioned below, and the average world market price for corn gluten feed with a crude protein content of 23 %, calculated for a bulk product delivered Rotterdam and with corresponding application of the provisions of this Regulation on calculation of the average world market price for soya cake. If the total crude protein content of the corn gluten feed offered or quoted differs from that specified above the Commission shall make the necessary adjustments.
2. The difference referred to in paragraph 1 shall be given by the following calculation: average world market price for soya cake multiplied by 0,70 and reduced by the average world market price for corn gluten fed.

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 1181/2002(2), and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8 thereof;
Whereas:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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).
(4) In view of the reduced availability of veterinary medicinal products for certain food-producing species(3), maximum residue limits may be established by methods of extrapolation from maximum residue limits set for other species on a strictly scientific basis.
(5) 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. 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.
(6) 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.
(7) Dihydrostreptomycin, Streptomycin and Meloxicam should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(8) Azagly-nafarelin and Deslorelin acetate should be inserted into Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.
(9) In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, the duration of the validity of the provisional maximum residue limits previously defined in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be extended for Altrenogest.
(10) An adequate period 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 Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4) to take account of the provisions of this Regulation.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 are hereby amended as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the 60th day following its publication.

(ECB/2008/22)
(2009/98/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 26.2 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision ECB/2006/17 of 10 November 2006 on the annual accounts of the European Central Bank (1) needs to be amended to reflect policy decisions and market developments.
(2) The European Central Bank (ECB) has revised its disclosure policy for securities transactions with a view to enhance further the transparency of the ECB’s annual accounts. As part of the revised policy, securities that previously qualified as financial fixed assets should be reclassified from the balance sheet item ‘Other financial assets’ to the appropriate item under the heading ‘asset’ depending on the origin of the issuer, the currency denomination and on whether the securities are held-to-maturity. Moreover, all financial instruments that are part of an earmarked portfolio should be included under the item ‘Other financial assets’.
(3) Decision ECB/2006/17 does not contain specific rules on the accounting of forward interest rate swaps, foreign exchange futures and equity futures. Such instruments are increasingly used in the financial markets and may be relevant to the management of the ECB’s foreign reserves. While forward interest rate swaps should be accounted for in the same manner as ‘plain vanilla’ interest rate swaps, foreign exchange futures and equity futures should be accounted for in the same manner as interest rate futures,
Amendments
Decision ECB/2006/17 is amended as follows:
1. Article 8 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(b) The following paragraph 4 is added:
2. Article 10 is replaced by the following:
3. Article 16 is replaced by the following:
4. In Article 17 the following sentence is added:
5. Annexes I and III to Decision ECB/2006/17 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

on State aid C 32/2006 (ex N 179/2006) implemented by Poland for Huta Cynku Miasteczko Śląskie SA
(notified under document number C(2007) 4310)
(Only the Polish version is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/142/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments (1) pursuant to the provisions cited above and having regard to their comments,
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) On 17 March 2006, Poland notified restructuring aid for Huta Cynku Miasteczko Śląskie SA (hereinafter ‘HCM’). This notification took place following a Commission decision raising no objections regarding rescue aid to HCM in the form of a guarantee for a loan of PLN 11,8 million (EUR 3,12 million (2)).
(2) On 19 July 2006, the Commission decided to initiate a procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the notified aid because of doubts about its compatibility with the common market. The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 30 August 2006 (3). The Commission invited interested parties to submit comments on the measures. No such third party comments were submitted.
(3) On 18 September 2006, Poland submitted an incomplete response concerning the initiation of the procedure. By letter dated 23 May 2007, Poland informed the Commission that it was withdrawing the notification.
II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AID
1. Beneficiary of the aid
(4) HCM is a state-owned company created in 1966. It is active in the market for the production and metallurgical processing of non-ferrous metals (production of zinc and lead). In 2004 the company had a 51 % share of the Polish refined zinc market and a 3 % share of the European market. It has about 1 100 employees and is based in a region eligible for regional aid under Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty.
2. Aid measures
(5) The Polish authorities notified the Commission that Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu SA (Industrial Development Agency SA, hereinafter ‘ARP’) intended to provide a loan of PLN 21,8 million (EUR 5,76 million) for a period of five years. Reimbursement was to start one year after the date on which the loan was granted. The loan was to be based on a variable interest rate equal to the Commission’s reference rate. PLN 10 million (EUR 2,64 million) was to be spent on investment related to technological restructuring. The remaining PLN 11,8 million (EUR 3,11 million) was to be used to finance reimbursement of the rescue loan, i.e. the loan for which ARP had provided a guarantee.
(6) Poland also informed the Commission of a planned composition agreement to be signed with creditors enabling the company to regain solvency. To this end, the creditors, who had claims on HCM worth PLN 65,3 million (EUR 15,9 million), were divided according to the size of the amounts due and the security held. The composition agreement essentially provides for deferral of the repayment of private and public debts for several years. To this end, different groups were formed according to the security held. The debt was deferred for a specific period for each group.
3. Grounds for initiating the procedure
(7) The loan was notified by the Polish authorities as state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
(8) The Commission decided to initiate the procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty because it had doubts as to whether all the conditions for approving restructuring aid laid down in the Community Guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty (4) (hereinafter ‘the Guidelines’) applicable at the time were fulfilled, and in particular whether:
(a) the restructuring plan would result in the beneficiary's long-term viability being restored, as the restructuring was mainly financial and was based primarily on a composition agreement which had not been signed at the date on which the procedure was initiated. Moreover the problem of the major impact of exchange rate variations on the company’s financial results had not been sufficiently addressed;
(b) the own contribution of the beneficiary to the coverage of restructuring costs was significant;
(c) the compensatory measures were sufficient, as they consisted in a decrease of production capacity of only 0,7 %.
(9) In addition, the Commission raised doubts about whether the composition agreement in fact included elements of state aid.
III. POLAND’S COMMENTS
(10) The Polish authorities have informed the Commission that HCM successfully concluded the composition agreement after the procedure was initiated.
(11) Moreover, the Polish authorities have informed the Commission that the company has now become profitable (it had a net profit of PLN 10,3 million (about EUR 2,72 million) for the first half of 2006); its liquidity has improved and it is able to secure financing on the market. Thus, as the guaranteed loan was no longer an advantage for the company, Poland withdrew the notification of the measure referred to in recital 6. Furthermore, the company has reimbursed the loan for which a state guarantee was provided as rescue aid and so this guarantee no longer serves any purpose.
IV. ASSESSMENT
(12) Under Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty (5), Member States may withdraw a notification after the initiation of a formal investigation procedure in due time before the Commission has taken a decision on the aid. In such cases, the Commission must take a decision closing that procedure without carrying out an assessment.
(13) Poland withdrew the notification of the state aid measure described in recital 6 above. However, in order to be able to terminate the procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty, the Commission needs to assess whether the composition agreement mentioned in recital 6 involves state aid elements.
(14) The Commission recognises that the composition agreement does not constitute state aid, as it fulfils the private creditor test and because it consists in a debt deferral which is more advantageous for the creditors than the liquidation of HCM. It is settled case law that a public creditor will balance the advantage to be derived from receiving the sum offered under the restructuring plan against the sum which it would be able to recover if the firm was liquidated. No advantage, and thus no state aid, exists where restructuring would yield better proceeds than liquidation (6). Poland provided a study showing that even if one assumes the deferral to result in a loss of funds if calculated in net present value, such a loss would still put the public creditors in a better position than the company's liquidation would do. As a consequence of the composition agreement, the creditors will be able to recover 75,7 % of their claims on average and those in a less favourable position will obtain 72,9 %, which is still higher than the potential proceeds from the liquidation, which the study estimates to be 64,8 %. Moreover, the Commission sees no grounds for finding that the public creditors received less favourable treatment than the private ones, as creditors of the same ranking were treated alike.
(15) The notification of the restructuring plan meant that the rescue aid could be extended beyond the six-month deadline. However, Poland later withdrew this notification. Point 26 of the Guidelines states clearly that the notification of a restructuring plan is a condition sine qua non for an extension of the rescue aid. Therefore, if a notified restructuring plan is later withdrawn, the extension allowed for the rescue aid has to be terminated (7). This condition was respected here as the loan which the state guarantee was securing was repaid.
V. CONCLUSION
(16) The Commission had decided to close the formal investigation procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the notified aid measure, noting that Poland has withdrawn the notification and has not granted any unlawful state aid,
The aid measure which Poland was planning to implement for HCM in the form of a loan of PLN 21,8 million (about EUR 5,76 million), has been withdrawn since the Commission opened the formal investigation procedure. The formal investigation procedure is therefore now redundant.
Regarding the composition agreement, the Commission concludes that it does not constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.
