Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1915/87 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4 (4) and Article 11 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the representative market price should be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 7 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 December 2005
amending Council Directive 2002/56/EC as regards the date laid down in Article 21(3) until which Member States are authorised to extend the validity of decisions concerning equivalence of seed potatoes from third countries
(notified under document number C(2005) 5020)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/908/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/56/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2002/56/EC provides that, with effect from certain dates, Member States may no longer determine for themselves the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community and complying with that Directive.
(2) However, as work to establish a Community equivalence for seed potatoes from all the third countries concerned had not been completed, Directive 2002/56/EC permitted Member States to extend until 31 March 2005 the validity of equivalence decisions which they had already taken for seed potatoes from certain third countries not covered by a Community equivalence.
(3) In the absence of Community rules on the equivalence of seed potatoes harvested in third countries with seed potatoes harvested within the Community, the authorisation granted to Member States by Directive 2002/56/EC to extend the period of validity of equivalence decisions should be continued for a three year period.
(4) Directive 2002/56/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
In the first subparagraph of Article 21(3) of Directive 2002/56/EC, ‘31 March 2005’ is replaced by ‘31 March 2008’.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1112/97 of 18 June 1997 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in Ireland in application of Decision 97/312/EC
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2222/96 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas, by Decision 97/312/EC (3), the Commission approved a plan proposed by Ireland for measures to be implemented as regards bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in that Member State;
Whereas the principal elements of the plan are inter alia compulsory slaughter and destruction of suspect cases of BSE and, if confirmed, slaughter and destruction of all animals in herds where cases of BSE have occurred, and identification and slaughter of animals exposed to the same risks as the affected animals;
Whereas these measures involve serious disturbances in the market of Ireland; whereas it is therefore necessary to take exceptional measures to support that market;
Whereas it is appropriate to establish a scheme co-financed by the Community authorizing Ireland to purchase the animals concerned with a view to killing and subsequently destroying them;
Whereas provision should be made for laboratory examination of the brains from a sample of the animals slaughtered and for the use of a limited number of animals for research or educational purposes;
Whereas it is appropriate, to provide for a Community contribution of 70 % of the purchase price paid by Ireland for each animal destroyed pursuant to this Regulation;
Whereas, for the purpose of establishing the animal's market value, Ireland should set up a system securing a fair and objective evaluation of each animal;
Whereas, it is necessary to ensure that the animals concerned are killed and destroyed in a hygienic manner; whereas the price paid to producers should compensate them for not selling the animals in question; whereas those animals must therefore be prohibited from being marketed; whereas it is therefore necessary to specify the conditions for the destruction of those animals and the controls to be carried out by the Irish authorities;
Whereas, so as to avoid mixing of the animals to be slaughtered pursuant to this Regulation with animals not covered by this Regulation and the occurrence of mistakes as to identity, they should be kept separately in the lairage to a slaughterhouse, as well as in the slaughterhouse itself;
Whereas, provision should be made for Commission experts to check compliance with the conditions as specified;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The competent authorities in Ireland shall be authorized to purchase any bovine animal present on a holding located in the territory of Ireland which has not shown any clinical sign of BSE and is to be slaughtered in accordance with Ireland's eradication plan as approved by Decision 97/312/EC.
2. The animals referred to in paragraph 1 shall be killed in a specially designated slaughterhouse. The head, internal organs and carcases shall be permanently stained. The stained material shall be transported in sealed containers to a specially authorized rendering plant for disposal in such a way that no part of it may be placed on the market. No part of the abovementioned animals may enter into the human food or animal feed chains or be used for cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. A representative of the competent authorities in Ireland shall be present in the slaughterhouse referred to above in order to supervise the operations in question.
Subject to the necessary control, after being killed in the specially designated slaughterhouse, the animals shall immediately be transported to a rendering plant for processing and destruction.
Notwithstanding the first subparagraph, the competent authorities in Ireland may allow the on-farm slaughter of an animal where existing animal welfare practice would require this.
Notwithstanding the first subparagraph, the hides of the animals referred to in paragraph 1 do not have to be stained or destroyed provided that they have been treated in such a way that they can only be used for leather production.
3. The slaughterhouses referred to in paragraph 2 shall be organized and operated in such a way as to ensure that:
(a) no bovine animal intended for slaughter for human or animal consumption, is present in the slaughterhouse when animals are being slaughtered pursuant to this Regulation;
(b) where it is necessary for bovine animals to be slaughtered pursuant to this Regulation to be held in lairage, they shall be kept separate from bovine animals intended for slaughter for human or animal consumption;
and
(c) where it is necessary for products derived from animals slaughtered pursuant to this Regulation to be stored, such storage shall be separate from any storage facility used for meat or other products destined for human or animal consumption.
4. The competent authorities in Ireland shall:
(a) notwithstanding paragraph 1, before processing and destruction, be authorized to conduct laboratory examination of the brains from a sample of animals slaughtered;
(b) be authorized, before processing and destruction, to use a limited number of animals for research or educational purposes;
(c) carry out the necessary administrative checks and effective on-the-spot supervision of the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3;
and
(d) control those operations on the basis of frequent and unannounced inspections, in particular to verify that all material has been effectively destroyed.
The results of these checks and controls shall be made available to the Commission on request.
1. The price in respect of the animal to be paid to producers or their agents by the competent authorities in Ireland pursuant to Article 1 (1) shall be equal to the objective market value in Ireland of each animal concerned established on the basis of a system of objective evaluation agreed on by the competent authorities in Ireland.
2. The Community shall co-finance the purchase price paid by the competent authorities concerned for each purchased animal which has been destroyed in accordance with Article 1 at a rate of 70 %.
3. The conversion rate to be applied shall be the agricultural rate in force on the first day of the month of purchase of the animal in question.
Ireland shall adopt all measures necessary to ensure full compliance with the provisions of this Regulation. It shall inform the Commission as soon as possible of the measures which it has taken and of any amendments thereto.
The competent authorities in Ireland:
(a) shall inform the Commission immediately, each time the plan approved by Decision 97/312/EC is applied, of:
- the number of animals selected for slaughter,
- the number of animals slaughtered,
- the average market value of the animals slaughtered,
pursuant to this Regulation during the previous week;
(b) shall establish a detailed report of the controls which they carry out pursuant to the measures referred to in Article 3 and shall communicate it to the Commission each quarter.
Without prejudice to Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (4), Commission experts, accompanied where appropriate by experts from the Member States, shall carry out, in collaboration with the competent authorities in Ireland, on-the-spot checks to verify compliance with all the provisions of this Regulation.
The measures taken pursuant to this Regulation shall be considered to be intervention measures within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable from 1 April 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1593/2004
of 10 September 2004
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 21,625 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 September 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1628/94 of 4 July 1994 concerning the implementation of a programme for cross-border cooperation between countries in central and eastern Europe and Member States of the Community in the framework of the Phare programme
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 of 18 December 1989 on economic aid to certain countries of central and eastern Europe (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/93 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas the Council has repeatedly stressed the need to reinforce cooperation and stimulate integration of the countries of central and eastern Europe and the European Community;
Whereas the European Council, meeting in Copenhagen in June 1993, agreed that the associated countries of central and eastern Europe that so desire, shall become members of the European Union as soon as they are able to assume the obligations of membership by satisfying the economic and political conditions required;
Whereas the closer cooperation between border regions can contribute to the transformation process in countries of central and eastern Europe and stimulate economic activities in peripheral regions, contributing to the general economic development of the countries concerned;
Whereas such cooperation can also contribute to the integration process started under the Europe Agreements and to the implementation of new possibilities of cooperation provided under the trade and cooperation agreements;
Whereas the cross-border cooperation between the Community and countries of central and eastern Europe can also contribute to the establishment and development of trans-European networks in the areas of transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructure;
Whereas it is important that these local cross-border actions are fully integrated in the national development policy in the respective countries;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 (3), as modified by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (4), and Article 3 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 (5), as modified by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (6), defines the procedures for the approval of Community initiatives, (in particular Interreg) financed by the Structural Funds within the European Community;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 lays down rules and conditions for the granting of economic aid to certain countries of central and eastern Europe and this framework can be used to accommodate the implementation of a cross border cooperation programme;
Whereas the initiatives formulated by the respective local authorities and other economic agents of the regions on either side of the border between the Community and countries of central and eastern Europe have to be taken into account and special efforts should be made to stimulate the identification and formulation of joint programmes;
Whereas the present Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Economic Restructuring in certain countries of central and eastern Europe,
Within the overall framework of the Phare Programme as defined by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89, the following rules shall apply for financing actions of a structural nature in border regions of countries of central and eastern Europe sharing a common border with the Community.
These actions will be implemented taking into account the Community structural policies, and Interreg II in particular.
1. The countries in central and eastern Europe to which these actions refer, are all Phare beneficiaries which have a common border with a Member State of the European Union.
2. The border regions concerned will be fixed by each country concerned in agreement with the Commission, bearing in mind the need of coherence with Interreg II.
Community grants under this programme will primarily finance the participation of the country of central and eastern Europe concerned in joint projects with a Member State with which it shares a border.
The aims of these projects are:
(i) to promote cooperation of European Union border regions with adjacent regions in central and eastern Europe and thus to help the border regions in central and eastern Europe to overcome the specific development problems which may arise inter alia from their position within the national economies, in the interest of the local population and in a manner compatible with the protection of the environment;
(ii) to promote the creation and the development of cooperation networks on either side of the border, and the establishment of links between these networks and wider Community networks.
1. In the border regions selected according to Article 2, the projects to be included in the cross border cooperation programme can take the form of:
(i) projects linked with measures that are supported by Interreg II;
(ii) projects agreed by the countries concerned, that have a crossborder impact, contribute to the development of structures in border regions and facilitate cooperation between the countries of central and eastern Europe and the Community as a whole, and for which the level of the co-financing that can be provided under Interreg II is not sufficient.
2. This programme can also include projects, which accompany other measures financed by the Structural Funds such as Ecos and Ouverture. The modest support available is applicable to all countries eligible for Phare-assistance and is not limited to border regions.
3. Special attention will be given to projects, in relation to which co-financing by, or on behalf of, the local authorities or economic operators in the countries of central and eastern Europe is provided.
4. Financing may include resources from other Member States of the European Union and countries of central and eastern Europe, from International Financial Institutions, and from other private and public sources.
1. The actions that can be financed under this programme, could include:
- alleviation of the administrative and institutional obstacles to the free flow of persons, products or services across the border,
- improving infrastructures in particular communication facilities and the provision of local water, gas and electricity supplies, providing benefits across border areas,
- waste management, environmental management and pollution prevention dealing with problems exacerbated by the proximity to external borders,
- the promotion of tourism,
- agricultural and rural development measures with particular attention for facilitating cross border cooperation projects,
- measures to promote cooperation in health, particularly the sharing of resources and facilities on a cross-border basis,
- measures in the fields of energy, telecommunications and transport, aimed at complementing the development of trans-European networks in accordance with the orientations adopted by the Commission,
- the development or establishment of facilities and resources to improve the flow of information and communications between border regions including support for cross-border radio, television, newspapers and other media.
Moreover, to the extent that they strictly concern cross-border cooperation, the following actions could also be financed under this programme:
- promotion of business cooperation, enterprise development, financial cooperation and cooperation between institutions representing the business sector (e.g. chambers of commerce),
- aid to investment and provision of supporting services and facilities in particular for technology transfer and for marketing for small and medium-sized enterprises,
- training and employment measures.
2. Special attention will be given to measures which are planned in close cooperation with the regional and local authorities in border areas and which include the establishment or development of shared management structures intended to widen and deepen cross border cooperation between public and para-public agencies as well as non-profit making organizations.
3. The establishment of plans for the development of border regions, project identification and programme formulation, feasibility studies, assistance for the implementation of the programmes and monitoring and/or evaluation studies, may also be financed.
1. The Community contribution is provided, in principle, as a grant. However, whenever the Community grant contributes to the financing of revenue generating activities, the Commission shall determine, in consultation with the authorities involved, the rules for financing which may include co-financing by the project's revenues, or reimbursement of the initial grants.
2. The aid may cover expenditures on imports and local expenditure needed to carry out the projects and programmes.
Tax duties and charges and the purchase of property shall be excluded from the Community financing.
3. Costs covered may include, technical assistance, studies, training and other institution building measures; supply programmes for essential equipment or inputs; investment operations, including work programmes.
4. Maintenance and operating costs in central and east European countries may be covered in the start up phase and in a degressive manner.
For each of the border regions between the Community and countries of central and eastern Europe concerned, a Joint Programming and Monitoring Committee will be set up consisting of representatives of the countries concerned, which may include regional or local representatives in order to define a common set of projects. Recommendations for projects will be transmitted to the Commission by the Government of the country of central and eastern Europe concerned on the basis of the proposals submitted by the relevant authorities.
1. The Commission will formulate a programme proposal per border on the basis of the recommendations of the Joint Programming and Monitoring Committee as transmitted by the Government of the central and eastern European country concerned.
2. The grant constituting the, full or partial, contribution of the country of central and eastern Europe to the joint project, will be approved following the procedure defined in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 and agreed with the recipient country concerned by means of a financing memorandum.
1. The Commission shall administer this assistance in accordance with the normal practice applied to the assistance to central and eastern Europe, as defined in Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89.
2. Wherever possible, joint management structures should be set up to facilitate the implementation of the programmes.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1431/2006
of 28 September 2006
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) 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 (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(5) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.
(6) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(7) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 September 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) The standardised requirements of the draft new UNECE Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to their Pole Side Impact performance, as well as the draft amendment to the draft new UNECE Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to their Pole Side Impact performance are intended to remove technical barriers to the trade in motor vehicles and their components between the Contracting Parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement and to ensure that such vehicles and components offer a high level of safety and protection.
(3) It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in the Administrative Committee of the Revised 1958 Agreement concerning the adoption of that draft UNECE Regulation and concerning the draft amendment to that Regulation,
The position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union in the Administrative Committee of the Revised 1958 Agreement shall be to vote in favour of the draft new UNECE Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to their Pole Side Impact performance, as contained in document ECE TRANS/WP.29/2014/79, as well as the draft amendment to that Regulation, as contained in document ECE TRANS/WP.29/2014/80.

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.
(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.
(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.
(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 September 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, in the current situation on the market in lampante virgin oil, there is little demand by operators for high-acidity oil; whereas, in the interests of good market management and as part of a quality policy, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2942/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2922/82 (4), should be adapted to reduce the maximum acidity of lampante virgin oil which may be bought into intervention;
Whereas experience has shown that the quantity of extra virgin olive oil bought into intervention in recent years has been higher than would normally have been expected from the structure and situation of the market; whereas, until a Community method for analyzing the organoleptic characteristics of such oil is introduced, such analysis should be carried out by independent agencies approved by the Member States;
Whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2942/80 fixed the scale of increases and reductions to be used to adjust the buying-in price of the various qualities of oil which may be offered for intervention; whereas, consequently, the Annex to the abovementioned Regulation should be amended to reflect the increase in the intervention price for the standard quality and the cost of refining oil which is not directly edible;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 2942/80 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
'Article 1
Intervention under Article 12 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be confined to the olive oils specified in points 1 and 4 of the Annex to that Regulation, excluding oils with a moisture and impurities content of more than:
- 1 % for virgin oil,
- 2 % for residue oil.
In the case of lampante virgin olive oil and olive residue oil, such intervention shall be confined to oils with a free fatty acid content expressed as oleic acid not exceeding 14 % for lampante virgin oil and 15 % for olive residue oil, respectively.
The maximum level of acidity acceptable for virgin lampante oil presented for intervention after 1 November 1984 shall be examined before 30 June 1984.'
2. The following paragraph 2a is inserted in Article 2:
'2a. In the case of extra virgin olive oil, the offer may not be accepted until the intervention agency has checked that the organoleptic characteristics correspond to those defined in the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC. This check must be carried out by an agency which has been approved by the Member State concerned and is independent of the storage and intervention agencies. The Member States concerned shall inform the Commission of the measures taken for this purpose.
In order to coordinate activities on a Community level, Commission officials may be present in the work of the agencies in question.
In the event of a Member State failing to approve such an agency, the Commission may, by decision, suspend the price increase for extra virgin olive oil in the Member State concerned.'
3. The Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 November 1983.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 November 2000 modifying the common principles of the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (ESA 95) as concerns taxes and social contributions and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96(1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Denmark on 9 August 2001,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community (ESA 95)(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000, contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 ensures better comparability and transparency among the Member States in the recording of taxes and social contributions in ESA 95 for the Excessive Deficit Procedure. It provides that net lending/net borrowing of general government is not to include amounts of taxes and social contributions unlikely to be collected.
(3) Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 Member States may ask the Commission for a transitional period of no more than two years in which to bring their accounting systems into line with that Regulation.
(4) By letter dated 9 August 2001, the Danish authorities have requested a transitional period of two years to bring their accounting systems into line with Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000.
(5) Denmark has for many years based the recording of taxes and social contributions in its national accounts on assessment and declarations. It has provided to the Commission sufficient objective evidence of the need for Denmark to improve its knowledge of the receipt of those amounts in order to bring its accounting systems into line with Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000. Such an improvement requires the involvement of all the public national authorities concerned.
(6) The request by Denmark should therefore be granted,
Denmark is granted a transitional period in order to bring its accounting systems into line with Regulation (EC) No 2516/2000 no later than 7 December 2002.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1356/2004
of 26 July 2004
concerning the authorisation for 10 years of the additive ‘Elancoban’ in feedingstuffs, belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Article 9g(5)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC, coccidiostats included in Annex I to that Directive before 1 January 1988 were provisionally authorised as from 1 April 1998 and transferred to Chapter I of Annex B with a view to their re-evaluation as additives linked to a person responsible for putting them into circulation. The monensin sodium product, Elancoban, is an additive belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’ listed in Chapter I of Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC.
(2) The person responsible for putting into circulation Elancoban submitted an application for authorisation and a dossier, according to Article 9g(2) and (4) of that Directive.
(3) Article 9g(6) of Directive 70/524/EEC allows the automatic extension of the period of authorisation of the additives concerned until the Commission takes a decision in case of, for reasons beyond the control of the authorisation holder, no decision may be taken on the application before the expiry date of the authorisation. This provision is applicable to the authorisation of Elancoban. On 26 April 2001, the Commission requested the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition for a full risk evaluation and this request was consequently transferred to the European Food Safety Authority. Several requests for additional information were made during the re-evaluation process making it impossible to complete the re-evaluation within the time limits required by Article 9g.
(4) The Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed attached to the European Food Safety Authority has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety and to the efficacy of Elancoban for chickens for fattening, for chickens reared for laying and for turkeys.
(5) The re-evaluation of Elancoban carried out by the Commission showed that the relevant conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied. Elancoban should therefore be authorised for 10 years as an additive linked to the person responsible for putting it into circulation and included in Chapter I of the list referred to Article 9t(b) of that Directive.
(6) As the authorisation for the additive is now linked to a person responsible for putting it into circulation, and replaces the previous authorisation which was not linked to any specific person, it is appropriate to delete the latter authorisation.
(7) Since there are no safety reasons for withdrawing the product monensin sodium from the market immediately, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period of six months for the disposal of existing stocks of the additive.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Chapter I of Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC is amended as follows:
The additive monensin sodium, belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medical substances’, shall be deleted.
The additive Elancoban belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medical substances’, as set out in the Annex to the present Regulation is authorised for use in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
A period of six months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation is permitted to use up the existing stocks of monensin sodium.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

REGULATION (EC) No 296/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 March 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code), as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 62(1) and (2)(a) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that certain measures should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (3).
(2) Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.
(3) In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (4) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.
(4) The Commission should be empowered to adopt certain practical measures governing border surveillance and to amend certain annexes. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 provides for a period of suspension as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission. In their statement concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission stated that Decision 2006/512/EC provides a horizontal and satisfactory solution to the European Parliament's wish to scrutinise the implementation of instruments adopted under the co-decision procedure and that, accordingly, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission without time-limit. The European Parliament and the Council also declared that they would make sure that the proposals aimed at repealing the provisions in the instruments that provide for a time-limit on the delegation of implementing powers to the Commission are adopted as rapidly as possible. Following the introduction of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, the provision that provides for that period of suspension in Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 should be deleted.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Regulation builds upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark should, in accordance with Article 5 of the said Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the date of adoption of this Regulation whether it will implement it in its national law.
(8) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters' association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (6) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement.
(9) As regards Switzerland, this Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed by the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the association of the Swiss Confederation with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A, of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 4(1) of Council Decisions 2004/849/EC (7) and 2004/860/EC (8).
(10) This Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(9). The United Kingdom is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
(11) This Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland's request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis
(10). Ireland is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1994/2003
of 13 November 2003
fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 November 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
Pursuant to Article 2(2) and Article 3 of abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 4088/87, Community import and producer prices are fixed each fortnight for uniflorous (bloom) carnations, multiflorous (spray) carnations, large-flowered roses and small-flowered roses and apply for two-weekly periods. Pursuant to Article 1b of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 700/88 of 17 March 1988 laying down detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for the import into the Community of certain floricultural products originating in Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2062/97(4), those prices are determined for fortnightly periods on the basis of weighted prices provided by the Member States. Those prices should be fixed immediately so the customs duties applicable can be determined. To that end, provision should be made for this Regulation to enter into force immediately,
The Community producer and import prices for uniflorous (bloom) carnations, multiflorous (spray) carnations, large-flowered roses and small-flowered roses as referred to in Article 1b of Regulation (EEC) No 700/88 for a fortnightly period shall be as set out in the Annex.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 92/84
of 13 January 1984
on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2966/80 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (6), 5 (4) and 7 (2) thereof,
Whereas intervention measures may be taken in respect of pigmeat if, on the representative markets of the Community, the average price for pig carcases is less than 103 % of the basic price and is likely to remain below that level;
Whereas the market situation has been characterized by a marked fall in prices below the level mentioned; whereas, in view of seasonal and cyclical trends, this situation could persist;
Whereas intervention measures must be taken; whereas these can be limited to the granting of private storage aid;
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2763/75 (3) provides that the period of storage can be curtailed or extended if the market situation so requires; whereas the period of storage can, in particular, be curtailed as a result of circumstances constituting force majeure, as provided for in Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80 (4); whereas, therefore, provisions should be made to fix not only the amounts of aid for a specific period of storage but also the amounts to be added or deducted if this period is curtailed or extended;
Whereas, in order to facilitate administrative and control work resulting from the conclusion of contracts, minimum quantities should be fixed;
Whereas the security should be fixed at a level such as will oblige the storer to fulfil the obligations undertaken by him;
Whereas provisions should be made for the possibility of reducing the storage period where meat removed from storage is intended for export; whereas proof that the meat has been exported must be supplied, as in the case of refunds, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 519/83 (6);
Whereas it should be made clear that the same product cannot be the subject of a storage contract and at the same time be eligible under Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (7); whereas to apply both systems simultaneously would have the effect in particular of compensating traders to an excessive extent in respect of certain of their financing costs;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
1. As from 16 January 1984 applications for private storage aid may be introduced in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1092/80. The list of products which qualify for aid and the relevant amounts are set out in the Annex hereto.
2. If the period of storage is extended or curtailed, the amount of the aid shall be adjusted accordingly. The amounts of the supplements and deductions per month and per day are set out in columns 7 and 8 of the said Annex.
The minimum quantities per contract and per product shall be as follows:
(a) 30 tonnes for carcases and half carcases;
(b) 15 tonnes for all the other products.
Placing of the products in storage shall be completed within 24 days following conclusion of the contract.
The security shall be 20 % of the amounts of aid set out in the Annex.
1. On the expiry of a storage period of two months, the contracting party may withdraw from store all or part of the quantity of meat under contract, subject to a minimum of 10 tonnes, provided that it is exported within 10 working days after the date of its removal from storage.
In this case the amount of aid shall be reduced in accordance with Article 1 (2), the day of removal from storage being the last day of storage.
The contracting party shall inform the intervention agency at least two working days before the commencement of removal operations, stating the quantities which it intends to export.
2. In cases of export in accordance with paragraph 1, the contracting party shall provide proof that the meat has left the Community's geographical territory or has been the subject of a delivery within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79. This proof shall be provided as under the refund procedure.
The same products may not, at the same time, be subject to a private storage aid contract and to the provisions referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 January 1984.
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 Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery (1) and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the standing committee set up by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society Services (2),
Whereas:
(1) Where a national standard transposing a harmonised standard, the reference of which has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, covers one or more essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC, the machine built in accordance with this standard is presumed to meet the essential requirements concerned.
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(1) of Directive 98/37/EC, Germany lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN 13000:2004, adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 22 April 2004, the reference of which has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) Having examined standard EN 13000:2004, the Commission has established that it fails to meet several essential health and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC, namely requirement 4.2.1.4 (loading control) in conjunction with the requirements 1.1.2(c) (principles of safety integration), 1.2.5 (control mode selection), 1.3.1 (stability), 4.1.2.1 (risks due to lack of stability) and 4.1.2.3 (mechanical strength). Specifically, regarding clauses 4.2.6.3.1, 4.2.6.3.2 and 4.2.6.3.3 of the standard, the measures defined for designing and constructing mobile cranes do not guarantee a sufficiently high level of safety for the foreseeable use of the product. In particular, the standard does not specify adequate protective measures to prevent the misuse of the bridging device for the rated capacity limiter.
(4) In the interest of safety and legal certainty, the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of the reference of standard should therefore be accompanied by an appropriate warning.
(5) Member States should add an identical warning in their national standards transposing standard EN 13000:2004,
The publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of the references of standard EN 13000:2004 ‘Cranes — Mobile cranes’ shall be as set out in the Annex.
Where, pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 98/37/EC, Member States publish the references of a national standard transposing harmonised standard EN 13000:2004, they shall add to that publication a warning identical to that set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to Council Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP of 12 July 2004 on the European Union military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 9 July 2004 the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1551 (2004) welcoming the European Union's intention to launch an EU mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, including a military component, from December 2004, under the terms set out in the letter of 29 June 2004 from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ireland and President of the Council of the European Union to the Presidency of the Security Council. The United Nations Security Council further decided that the status of forces agreements currently contained in Appendix B to Annex 1.A of the Peace Agreement shall apply provisionally in respect to the proposed EU mission and its forces, including from the point of their build-up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in anticipation of the concurrence of the parties to those agreements to that effect.
(2) On 22 November 2004 the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1575 (2004), inter alia authorising the Member States, acting through or in cooperation with the EU, to establish for an initial planned period of 12 months a multinational stabilisation force (EUFOR) as a legal successor to SFOR under unified command and control, which will fulfil its missions in relation to the implementation of Annex 1-A and Annex 2 of the Peace Agreement in cooperation with the NATO HQ presence in accordance with the arrangements agreed between NATO and the EU as communicated to the Security Council, which recognise that EUFOR will have the main peace stabilisation role under the military aspects of the Peace Agreement, and recognising that the Peace Agreement and the provisions of its previous relevant resolutions shall apply to and in respect of both EUFOR and the NATO presence as they have applied to and in respect of SFOR and that therefore references in the Peace Agreement, in particular in Annex 1-A and its appendices, and relevant resolutions to IFOR and/or SFOR, NATO and the NAC shall henceforth be read as applying, as appropriate, to the NATO presence, EUFOR, the European Union and the Political and Security Committee and Council of the European Union respectively.
(3) In conformity with Article 6 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark does not participate in the elaboration and implementation of decisions and actions of the European Union which have defence implications. Denmark does not participate in the financing of the operation.
(4) On 12 and 13 December 2002 the Copenhagen European Council adopted a Declaration stating that the ‘Berlin plus’ arrangements and the implementation thereof will apply only to those EU Member States which are also either NATO members or parties to the ‘Partnership for Peace’, and which have consequently concluded bilateral security agreements with NATO,
The EU military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ALTHEA, shall be launched on 2 December 2004.
The EU Operation Commander is hereby authorised with immediate effect to release the activation order (ACTORD) in order to execute the deployment of the forces, prior to Transfer of Authority following their arrival in theatre, and start execution of the mission on 2 December 2004.
Without prejudice to Article 17 of Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP, this Decision shall remain in force until the Council decides to end the EU military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards the fees payable to the Community Plant Variety Office(3) has specified the acts and circumstances for which fees are payable to the Community Plant Variety Office, and the respective levels of such fees.
(2) The financial situation of the Community Plant Variety Office has developed such as to conclude that the annual revenues of the Community Plant Variety Office mainly based on the fees as currently specified will in future likely exceed, in principle, the annual expenditures of the Office.
(3) Moreover, no subsidies from the general budget of the European Communities have been included in the annual revenues.
(4) The Administrative Council of the Community Plant Variety Office has forwarded draft amendments relating to that financial situation to the Commission, pursuant to Article 36(2) second indent, of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94.
(5) Therefore a reduction in the level of certain fees charged to applicants for, and holders of, Community plant variety rights is now justified.
(6) It is necessary to clarify the power to fix the administrative fee for the delivery of extracts from the registers of the Community Plant Variety Office, referred to in Article 82(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1239/95 of 31 May 1995 establishing implementing rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 as regards proceedings before the Community Plant Variety Office(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 448/96(5).
(7) In order to minimise cases of dispute, the description of genera or species on which is based the categorisation of varieties into one of the three examination fee groups in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1238/95, requires greater precision.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 should be amended accordingly.
(9) It is necessary to apply the new measures with effect of the beginning of the budget year 2000.
(10) Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1103/97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to the introduction of the euro(6) provides that any reference to the ecu is replaced by a reference to the euro.
(11) The Administrative Council has been consulted, pursuant to Article 113(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Variety Rights,
Regulation (EC) No 1238/95 is hereby amended as follows:

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 3420/83 of 14 November 1983 on import arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community level (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/90 (2), applies inter alia to imports originating in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR);
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/82 of 30 June 1982 on common rules for imports from State-trading countries (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1434/90 (4), provides that imports of the products listed in its Annex are not subject to any quantitative restrictions;
Whereas the trade and commercial and economic cooperation agreement between the Community and the USSR (5) provides for the gradual dismantling of remaining specific quantitative restrictions applied by the Community;
Whereas it is desirable to strengthen trade relations between the Community and the USSR and thus to contribute to its economic reconstruction; whereas, therefore, the dismantling of specific quantitative restrictions provided for by the agreement should be brought forward to 1 August 1991;
Whereas this liberalization measure must remain compatible with the economic situation in certain particularly sensitive sectors of Community production and whereas, in appropriate cases, it should be possible to have recourse to the relevant provisions of the trade and commercial and economic cooperation agreement between the Community and the USSR with regard to the possibility of taking safeguard measures in order to remedy adverse situations which might arise in the Community;
Whereas the German Democratic Republic was incorporated into the Federal Republic of Germany on 3 October 1990 and the opportunity should therefore be taken to amend Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 accordingly,
Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 shall be replaced by the following:
'1. The release for free circulation of the products listed in Annex III originating in State-trading countries shall be subject to quantitative restrictions in the Member States as indicated in that Annex against those products.
However, the only quantitative restrictions which the Member States may maintain with regard to Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania and the Soviet Union are the restrictions on the products listed in Annex I, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 196/91 (*), to Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 (**) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 371/91 (***). Application of such quantitative restrictions to the release for free circulation of products originating in these countries, other than the Soviet Union, shall however, be suspended in the Member States, with the exception of Spain and Portugal, until 31 December 1991. This suspension shall not apply to textile products reimported into the Community after having been processed or worked in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, or, as from 1 January 1991, in Poland or Hungary. Should imports of such products cause, or threaten to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in one of its regions, the appropriate quantitative restriction may be reintroduced in accordance with the rules provided for in Title IV.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2) and, in particular, Article 10 (4) thereof,
Whereas as a result of outbreaks of Classical Swine Fever in different parts of Germany, the Commission adopted Decision 94/27/EC of 20 January 1994 concerning certain protection measures relating to Classical Swine Fever in Germany and repealing Decision 93/566/EC (3);
Whereas an increased number of outbreaks of Classical Swine Fever have occurred in Bundesland Niedersachsen; whereas some of the outbreaks have occurred in parts with a high density of pigs;
Whereas in view of the trade in live pigs, fresh pigmeat and certain meat-based products these outbreaks are liable to endanger the herds of other Member States;
Whereas, since it is possible to identify geographically limited areas which present a particular risk, the restrictions on trade can be applied on a regional basis;
Whereas in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 80/217/EEC of 22 January 1980 introducing Community measures for the control of Classical Swine Fever (4), as last amended by Council Decision 93/384/EEC (5), Member States shall establish a protection zone and a surveillance zone around an outbreak site to control movement of pigs;
Whereas Germany has taken measures in accordance with Council Directive 80/217/EEC and, furthermore, has introduced further measures;
Whereas, however, in order to prevent the spread of disease to other parts of its territory, it is necessary that Germany should introduce appropriate measures of an equivalent level;
Whereas an increase in body temperature above 40 °C is considered to be one of the early symptoms of Classical Swine Fever;
Whereas it is necessary to establish a national well-equipped crisis unit which in cooperation with the veterinary authorities of the Laender shall collect and analyse surveillance data and participate in epidemiological investigations;
Whereas the protection measures introduced by Commission Decisions 94/27/EC and 94/28/EC of 24 January 1994 on marking and use of pigmeat in application of Article 9 of Council Directive 80/217/EEC by Germany (6), in the interest of clarity, must be repealed;

5. Germany shall not send to other Member States breeding pigs and production pigs originating from a holding situated in the area outside the area described in Annex I unless the pigs:
- come from a holding where no live pigs have been introduced during the 30-day period immediately prior to the dispatch of the pigs in question,

- have undergone the clinical examination required in Council Directive 64/432/EEC (7) on the farm of origin. The examination shall comprise all pigs and related facilities on the holding of origin. The animals shall be identified by eartags at the holding of origin and at any assembly centre so that these can be ascertained and traced back. The means of transport shall carry an official seal.
6. Intra-Community movements of the animals referred to in paragraph 5 shall only be allowed following three days advance notification to the competent authority in the Member State of destination.
Live pigs coming from holdings situated in the area described in Annex II, but outside the zones subjected to the measures provided for in Article 9 of Council Directive 80/217/EEC, shall:
(a) - if slaughtered within this area, and whose meat is intended to be removed from the area,
or,
- if removed from the area for slaughter outside the area,

COUNCIL DECISION
of 18 January 2005
establishing, in accordance with Article 104(8) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, whether effective action has been taken by the Hellenic Republic in response to recommendations of the Council in accordance with Article 104(7) of that Treaty
(2005/334/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(8) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 104 of the Treaty, Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation. The Stability and Growth Pact includes Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1), set out in Article 104 of the Treaty, in order to further the prompt correction of excessive general government deficits.
(3) The Amsterdam Resolution of the European Council on the Stability and Growth Pact of 17 June 1997 (2) solemnly invites all parties, namely the Member States, the Council and the Commission, to implement the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact in a strict and timely manner.
(4) By Decision 2004/917/EC (3) of 5 July 2004, the Council decided, in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, that an excessive deficit exists in Greece.
(5) The Council, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, adopted a recommendation establishing the deadline of 5 November 2004 for the Greek Government to take measures to bring the existence of an excessive deficit to an end in 2005 at the latest. In that recommendation the Council recommended the Hellenic Republic to put an end to the present excessive deficit situation as rapidly as possible and by 2005 at the latest and to take corrective measures mainly of a structural nature amounting to at least 1 % of GDP, cumulated over 2004 and 2005, and preferably equally distributed between the two years. In addition, the Council recommended the Hellenic Republic to ensure that the government gross debt ratio diminishes sufficiently and approaches the reference value at a satisfactory pace, while paying particular attention to factors other than net borrowing which contribute to the change in debt levels. Finally, as a matter of urgency, the Council also recommended the Hellenic Republic to correct the serious deficiencies revealed on budgetary statistics, through the improvement of the collection and processing of general government data.
(6) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, the Council, when considering whether effective action has been taken in response to its recommendations made in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty, is to base its decision on publicly announced decisions by the Government of the Member State concerned.
(7) An assessment of the publicly announced decisions taken by the Hellenic Republic since the Recommendation in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty was issued by the Council and up to the deadline set in that Recommendation leads to the following conclusions:
— in spite of restraining measures announced for 2004, fiscal policy has been clearly expansionary, in contrast to what was requested by the Council. This is partly due to the statistical revisions, carried out in cooperation with Eurostat to apply correctly the ESA 95 statistical system, and to expenditure overruns associated with the organisation of the Olympic Games, as well as to overruns in some other spending items and shortfalls in certain revenue items, which had not been correctly estimated in the 2004 budget,
— the budgetary measures announced for 2005, while more than offsetting the slippage in 2004, may not ensure that the general government deficit is brought below 3 % of GDP in 2005,
— not only is the general gross debt-to-GDP ratio not falling at a satisfactory pace, but the large stock-flow adjustment projected in 2004 also indicates that the Greek Government has taken no effective action on below-the-line operations contributing to further rises in the debt;
— the Hellenic Republic has improved the collection and processing of budgetary data, notably in relation to expenditure on military equipment, interest payments, and social security accounts. Further steps, undertaken in close cooperation with Eurostat, will ensure the prompt and correct supply of the general government data required by the existing legal framework.
(8) Article 104(8) of the Treaty states that when the Council establishes that there has been no effective action in response to its recommendation in accordance with Article 104(7) of that Treaty, it may decide to make this recommendation public. However, in line with the Stability and Growth Pact Resolution of the European Council, the Hellenic Republic made this recommendation public in July 2004,
The Hellenic Republic has not taken effective action in response to the Council recommendation of 5 July 2004 within the period laid down in that recommendation.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2150/87
of 20 July 1987
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for processing work in respect of certain textile products under Community outward-processing traffic
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, on 1 August 1969, the Community concluded an arrangement with Switzerland on processing traffic in textiles; whereas under that arrangement the Community undertook to open, on 1 September of every year, an annual duty-free Community tariff quota for processed goods of 1 870 000 units of account of added value, apportioned as follows:
(a) 1 650 00 units of account for processing work on woven fabrics falling within Chapter 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(b) 143 000 units of account for the twisting or throwing, cabling and texturizing (whether or not combined with other processing work) of yarns falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff;
(c) 77 000 units of account for processing work on products falling within heading Nos 58.04, 58.05, 58.07, 58.08, 58.09 and 60.01 of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, in order to facilitate administration of this tariff quota, it was decided no longer to allocate a quota, provisionally, to each of the above three categories of processing; whereas the quota in question should therefore be opened for the period 1 September 1987 to 31 August 1988 according to the procedure provided for under the above arrangement, as amended and in compliance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2779/78 of 23 November 1978 on the procedure for applying the European unit of account (EUA) to legal acts adopted in one customs sphere (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof, and the provisions of of Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 3308/80 of 16 December 1980 on the replacement of the European unit of account by the ECU in Community legal instruments (2);
Whereas provision should be made in particular to ensure equal and continuous access for those concerned with this quota and consistent application of the rate of duty, prescribed for the said quota until the quota is exhausted, to all goods re-imported into any of the Member States and which have received one or other of the treatments listed above; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the quota based on an allocation among the Member States would seem to be consistent with the Communiy character of the said quota; whereas it therefore seems advisable to make the allocation on the basis of the amount of the traffic under the previous bilateral Agreements, but without precluding participation by Member States not previously involved in such traffic;
Whereas, to safeguard the Community character of the quota, provision should be made to meet requirements which may arise in those Member States permitting them to draw adequate amounts from the Community reserve;
Whereas, to take account of possible developments in the traffic in question in the various Member States, the total quota volume of 1 870 000 ECU should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover the subsequent requirements of Member States when one of their initial shares has been exhausted, and also requirements which may arise in certain Member States in respect of processing work for which no initial share of the quota was allocated; whereas, in order to give the parties concerned in each Member State some degree of certainty, it would seem appropriate to fix the first instalment of the Community quota is at a relatively high level, namely 1 640 000 ECU;
Whereas, the Member States may exhaust their initial shares at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of
supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up one of its initial shares should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas, each time its additional share is almost exhausted, a Member State should draw a further share, and so on, as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the Commission must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quota has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, if at a given date during the quota period a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential, to prevent a part of the Community tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others, that such State should return a significant percentage thereof to the corresponding reserve;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 September 1987 to 31 August 1988 the Common Customs Tariff duties shall be totally suspended within the limit of the tariff quota shown herewith:
1.2.3 // // // // Order No // Description // Amount of tariff quota // // // // 09.2001 // Goods resulting from processing work as provided for in the arrangement with Switzerland on processing traffic in textiles as follows: // // // (a) processing work on woven fabrics falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff; // // // (b) twisting or throwing, cabling and texturizing (whether or not combined with other processing work) of yarns falling within Chapters 50 to 57 of the Common Customs Tariff; // // // (c) processing work on products falling within the following headings of the Common Customs Tariff: // // // 58.04 Woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics (other than terry towelling or similar terry fabrics of cotton falling within heading No 55.08 and fabrics falling within heading No 58.05), // 1 870 000 ECU of value added // // 58.05 Narrow woven fabrics, and narrow fabrics (bolduc) consisting of warp without weft assembled by means of an adhesive, other than goods falling within heading No 58.06, // // // 58.07 Chenille yarn (including flock chenille yarn), gimped yarn (other then metallized yarn of heading No 52.01 and gimped horsehar yarn); braids and ornamental trimmings in the piece; tessels, pompons and the like, // // // 58.08 Tulle and other net fabrics (but not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics), plain, // // // 58.09 Tulle and other net fabrics (but not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics), figured; hand or mechanically made lace, in the piece, in strips or in motifs, // // // 60.01 Knitted or crocheted fabric, not elastic or rubberized. // // // //
2. Within the same limits, Spain and Portugal shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Accession and of the Protocols concluded by reason of that accession.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) 'processing work' means:
- for the purposes of paragraph 1 (a) and (c): bleaching, dyeing, printing, flocking, impregnating, dressing and other work which changes the appearance or quality of the goods, without however changing their nature, - for the purposes of paragraph 1 (b): twisting or throwing, cabling and texturizing, whether or not combined with reeling, dyeing or other work which changes the appearance, quality or finish of the goods, without however changing their nature;
(b) 'value added' means the difference between the value for customs purposes as defined in Community Regulations on this subject at the time of re-importation and the value for customs purposes as it would be if the products were re-imported in the state in which they were exported.
4. Re-imports of products, resulting from this processing work may not be charged to the tariff quota if they are already free of customs duties under other preferential tariff arrangements.
1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two instalments.
The first instlment, 1 640 000 ECU, shall be allocated as set out below among the Member States listed in the above arrangement; the shares, subject to Article 6, shall be valid from 1 September 1987 to 31 August 1988:
1.2 // // (ECU) // Benelux // 20 000 // Germany // 1 080 000 // France // 520 000 // Italy // 20 000
2. The second instalment, which amounts to 230 000 ECU, shall constitute a Community reserve.
If an importer notifies an imminent re-importation of the products in question into another Member State and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve permits this.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), or that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 6, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the relevant reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in accordance, with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in accordance with the same conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall continue to apply until the reserve is exhausted.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full.

of 14 December 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene originating, inter alia, in India
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1950/97(2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty of 36,0 % on imports of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene (hereinafter "product concerned") originating, inter alia, in India, with the exception of imports from several Indian companies specifically mentioned, which are either subject to a lesser rate of duty or to no duty at all. This Regulation was subsequently amended by Regulation (EC) No 96/1999(3). The product is currently classifiable under CN codes 6305 32 81, 6305 33 91, ex 3923 21 00, ex 3923 29 10 and ex 3923 29 90.
B. CURRENT PROCEDURE
(2) The Commission subsequently received an application to initiate a "new exporter" review of Regulation (EC) No 1950/97, pursuant to Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (the "basic Regulation"), from the Indian producer Subham Polymers Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "the company concerned"). The company concerned claimed that it was not related to any of the exporting producers in India subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned. Furthermore, it claimed that it had not exported the product concerned during the original period of investigation (1 April 1994 to 31 March 1995), but had exported the product concerned to the Community since then.
(3) The product covered by the current review is the same product as the one under consideration in Regulation (EC) No 1950/97.
(4) The Commission examined the evidence submitted by the Indian exporting producer concerned and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with the provisions of Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Regulation (EC) No 621/2000(4), a review of Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 with regard to the company concerned and commenced its investigation.
(5) By the Regulation initiating the review, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 with regard to imports of the product concerned produced and exported to the Community by the company concerned and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.
(6) The Commission's services officially advised the company concerned and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. However no such request was received by the Commission.
(7) The Commission's services sent a questionnaire to the company concerned and received a reply within the deadline.
(8) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 1999 (the "investigation period").
(9) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the current investigation.
C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW
(10) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made in this investigation, the review was limited to dumping.
D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. New exporter qualification
(11) The investigation confirmed that the company concerned had not exported the product concerned during the original period of investigation and that it had begun exporting to the Community after this period.
Furthermore, according to documentary evidence submitted, the company was able to satisfactorily demonstrate that it did not have any links, direct or indirect, with any of the Indian exporting producers subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that the company concerned should be considered a new exporter in accordance with Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, and thus an individual dumping margin should be determined for it.
2. Dumping
(12) It should be noted that the exporting producer's sales to the Community consisted of a single shipment. It was found that the quantity involved, i.e. one single container load of 15 tonnes over a period of two years, although sufficient to initiate a "new exporter" review, did not permit a meaningful assessment of the situation of dumping as regards this exporting producer. Indeed, one shipment cannot normally be considered to represent ordinary export trading activities of a producer of sacks and bags. In fact it was established that the average quantity exported by the Indian companies involved in the original case was about 575 tonnes over a period of one year.
(13) Moreover, the company concerned was not able to supply a satisfactory questionnaire reply with regard to both domestic sales prices and the adjustments claimed to the normal value and export price.
(14) None the less, given that the information provided demonstrated that the company concerned was indeed a "new exporter" within the meaning of the basic Regulation, it was concluded that the weighted average duty of the Indian companies investigated during the original anti-dumping investigation, i.e. 10,5 %, would constitute the most appropriate anti-dumping duty for the company concerned. The same approach had already been taken in Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 with respect to three other Indian companies which did not export the product concerned to the Community during the original investigation period, but which started exporting after this period.
E. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED
(15) Based on the findings made during the investigation, it is considered that imports into the Community of sacks and bags produced and exported by Subham Polymers Ltd should be subject to an anti-dumping duty corresponding to the weighted average duty rate of the Indian companies investigated during the original anti-dumping investigation. It is therefore proposed that Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 be amended accordingly.
F. RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY
(16) As the review has resulted in a determination of dumping in respect of Subham Polymers Ltd, the anti-dumping duty applicable to this company shall also be levied retroactively from the date of initiation of this review on imports which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 621/2000.
G. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURES
(17) The company concerned was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on its imports into the Community. The company objected to the proposed course of action, but did not put forward any new arguments.
(18) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,
1. Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1950/97 is hereby amended by adding the following to the section headed "India":
">TABLE>"
2. The duty hereby imposed shall also be levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned which have been registered pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 621/2000.
3. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 December 1991 on the multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture and the provision of protected marine areas (1992 to 1996) submitted by Italy pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 (Only the Italian text is authentic) (92/71/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Articles 2 and 4 thereof,
Whereas the structural policies implemented by the Community in the aquaculture sector must have development objectives which are compatible with all Community policies and must contribute to the establishment of the common economic area;
Whereas those objectives must ensure more far-reaching economic and social cohesion while allowing market rules to apply;
Whereas it is more important to create the conditions favourable to development than to make provision for specific measures only;
Whereas steps should be taken to coordinate, in a comprehensive and coherent framework, the operations of the financial instruments both in the Community and in the Member States;
Whereas, in areas where it is being developed, aquaculture interacts with the natural environment; whereas, in certain circumstances, aquaculture may in some cases affect the environment positively and in others negatively;
Whereas Council Directives 91/67/EEC (3), 91/492/EEC (4) and 91/493/EEC (5) harmonize the rules governing animal health and public health as applied to fish farms;
Whereas pressure on space and in particular intense competition regarding the use of the coastline are a major constraint on the development of aquaculture; whereas it is essential, therefore, that preference be given to a policy of identifying sites which are suitable for the development of aquaculture as an integral part of the landscape and to coastline development projects;
Whereas the future of aquaculture will be determined also by the ability of the industry to increase the range of production by operating experimental farms and pilot projects arising from research;
Whereas on 30 April 1991 the Italian Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture and the provision of protected marine areas, hereinafter called 'the programme'; whereas on 9 October 1991 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas the aim of the programme is to increase Italian aquaculture production, to rationalize and modernize existing installations and to provide protected marine areas; whereas the Member State considers that approximately ECU 130 million are necessary for the completion of the programme; whereas the approval of the programme is without prejudice to any later selection of individual investment projects;
Whereas the programme concerns all the structural policies implemented in the aquaculture sector of the Member State concerned;
Whereas the aquaculture sector is developing within a commercial framework, a feature of which is the growth of international competition; whereas the development of the market in aquaculture species could entail the need to adjust the objectives for the production of certain species;
Whereas flexible planning is required based on routine monitoring of the factors of production and market conditions; whereas a close watch needs to be kept on the programme, therefore, and this can only be done if reliable figures are available which are regularly updated and which apply to the national territory as a whole;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1992 to 1996) and the provision of protected marine areas, as forwarded by the Italian Government on 30 April 1991 and as last supplemented on 9 October 1991, the essential contents of which are set out in the Annex hereto, is hereby approved subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision.
1. The planning of the measures for the development and rationalization of aquaculture production corresponding to the investments provided for in the Annex hereto shall be carried out with due regard for the priorities set by the various Regulations governing the Community structural policies.
2. Special attention must be given during the implementation of the programme to the interaction between the development of the aquaculture sector and the environment and to the health conditions of fish farms and their products.
3. Preference shall be given to investment projects to which the Member State applies rules favourable to the development of aquaculture and protected marine areas.
4. Preference shall be given to innovative projects based on adequate research work and ensuring in the long term the diversification of production.
5. The production objectives of the programme must be checked at regular intervals and adjusted, if necessary, in line with the development of the market for fishery and aquaculture products.
The Commission shall inform the Member State, if necessary, within six months following 1 April each year, of the failure to comply with the conditions to which approval of the programme was made subject, on the basis of an examination of the periodic summary reports provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86, or in the absence thereof.
The Commission draws attention to the fact that the investment estimates contained in this programme are without prejudice to any financial aid the Community may grant.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 547/2004
of 24 March 2004
fixing the export refunds on olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

91/24/EEC: Commission Decision of 11 January 1991 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of potassium permanganate originating in the USSR
|
COMMISSION DECISION of 11 January 1991 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of potassium permanganate originating in the USSR (91/24/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Whereas:
A. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1537/90 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate falling within CN code ex 2841 60 00 and originating in the USSR. Furthermore, the validity of the provisional duty was extended for a period not exceeding two months by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2896/90 (3).
B. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE
(2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the representatives of the exporting country requested, and were granted, an opportunity to be heard orally by the Commission, and the exporter in the USSR known to be concerned made its views known in writing. This submission stressed that the only exports of potassium permanganate made in 1988 were destined for Austria, and that no exports to the Community had been made in 1989 nor were envisaged in 1990.
(3) Given that since the beginning of 1988 all imports into the Community of potassium permanganate known to have originated in the USSR have not been made directly from the country of origin but from Austria, the Commission considered it appropriate to carry out inquiries with regard to the Austrian chemical traders likely to have exported the product concerned to the Community. It was finally established that one trader in Austria handled almost all exports to the Community of potassium permanganate originating in the USSR during the period from January 1988 to June 1989. Furthermore, the Commission carried out an investigation at the premises of this Austrian trader.
C. NEW FINDINGS
(4) In the course of the investigation carried out in Austria new findings were made showing that, of 475 tonnes of potassium permanganate declared at Community customs and, therefore, registered in Community statistics as imported from the USSR during the period from January 1988 to June 1989, only 100 tonnes actually originated in that country. As to the remaining 375 tonnes, most of them appeared to have originated in Romania although they were declared at Community customs as originating in the USSR.
(5) The alleged Romanian origin of most of these 375 tonnes was supported by documentary evidence consisting of invoices and certificates or origin issued respectively by the exporting company in Romania and the authorities in this country.
(6) In addition to the fact that only 100 tonnes of the product concerned originating in the USSR were imported into the Community, these imports took place in an isolated manner during the first quarter of 1988 and, therefore, out of the investigation period covered by the anti-dumping proceeding (1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989).
(7) With regard to the imports apparently originating in Romania, this country does not appear to be a producer of potassium permanganate and there are indications that these imports may originate in countries for which anti-dumping measures are already in force. Therefore, any anti-dumping action which might be taken in respect to these imports, on the basis of the preliminary findings made on dumping and injury, has to be delayed until the Commission establishes their correct origin.
D. DUMPING
(8) Given that no imports of potassium permanganate originating in the USSR appear to have entered into the Community within the investigation period, preliminary findings on dumping set out in the recital 17 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1537/90 become invalidated insofar as they refer to the USSR. Consequently, a dumping determination cannot be made in respect of these imports.
E. INJURY
(9) For the reason given in recital 8, considerations and preliminary findings on injury and causality set out in recitals 18 to 28 of Regulation (EEC) No 1537/90 also become invalidated as far as imports from the USSR are concerned. Therefore, although it is confirmed that the Community industry is in a precarious economic and financial situation, characterized especially by losses in profitability, sales and market share, this is not a result of dumping from the USSR since there were no imports from this country during the investigation period.
F. TERMINATION
(10) Accordingly, it becomes apparent that protective measures with regard to the USSR are unnecessary and the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of potassium permanganate originating in the USSR should be terminated without definitive measures being imposed.
(11) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.
(12) The complainant was informed of the facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and did not dispute them.
G. EXPIRY OF THE PROVISIONAL DUTY
(13) The Commission notes that the period of validity of the provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the USSR, imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1537/90 and extended by Regulation (EEC) No 2896/90, expired on 9 December 1990. It also notes that the amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty should be released in accordance with Article 11 (7) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
Sole Article
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of potassium permanganate falling within CN-code ex 2841 60 00 and originating in the USSR is hereby terminated.

of 18 June 2009
amending Council Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC as regards certain disclosure requirements for medium-sized companies and the obligation to draw up consolidated accounts
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 44(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) In its Presidency conclusions, the European Council of 8 and 9 March 2007 underlined that reducing administrative burdens is important for boosting the European economy, especially in view of the benefits that this could bring for small and medium-sized companies. It stressed that a strong joint effort on the part of both the European Union and the Member States is necessary in order to reduce administrative burdens.
(2) Accounting and auditing have been identified as areas in which the administrative burdens on companies within the Community can be reduced.
(3) The Commission’s communication of 10 July 2007 on a simplified business environment for companies in the areas of company law, accounting and auditing identifies amendments that need to be made to Fourth Council Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 on the annual accounts of certain types of companies (3) and Seventh Council Directive 83/349/EEC of 13 June 1983 on consolidated accounts (4). Special attention has been given to further relieving the reporting burden imposed on small and medium-sized companies.
(4) In the past, a number of changes have been made in order to enable companies falling within the scope of Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC to use accounting methods in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards (5), companies the securities of which are admitted to trading on a regulated market of any Member State have to prepare their consolidated accounts in accordance with IFRS, and are consequently relieved from most of the requirements set out in Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC. Those Directives, however, still form the basis for small and medium-sized companies’ accounting in the Community.
(5) Small and medium-sized companies are often subject to the same rules as larger companies, but their specific accounting needs have rarely been assessed. In particular, the increasing number of disclosure requirements raises concerns for such companies. Extensive reporting rules create a financial burden and can hinder efficient use of capital for productive purposes.
(6) The application of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 has also highlighted the need to clarify the relationship between the accounting standards required by Directive 83/349/EEC and IFRS.
(7) Where formation expenses can be treated as an asset in the balance sheet, Article 34(2) of Directive 78/660/EEC requires that those expenses be explained in the notes to the accounts. Small companies can be exempted from that disclosure requirement in accordance with Article 44(2) of that Directive. In order to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens, it should also be possible to exempt medium-sized companies from that disclosure requirement.
(8) Directive 83/349/EEC requires a parent undertaking to prepare consolidated accounts even if the only subsidiary or all of the subsidiaries as a whole are not material for the purposes of Article 16(3) of that Directive. As a consequence, those undertakings fall under Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 and therefore have to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. That requirement is considered to be burdensome where a parent undertaking has only immaterial subsidiaries. Therefore a parent undertaking should be exempted from the obligation to draw up consolidated accounts and a consolidated annual report if it has only subsidiary undertakings considered as not being material, both individually and as a whole. Although that statutory obligation should be lifted, a parent undertaking should remain able to draw up consolidated accounts and a consolidated annual report on its own initiative.
(9) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to reduce administrative burdens relating to certain disclosure requirements imposed on medium-sized companies and the obligation to draw up consolidated accounts for certain companies within the Community, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
(10) Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making (6), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public,
Amendment to Directive 78/660/EEC
In Article 45(2) of Directive 78/660/EEC, the first sentence of the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
‘The Member States may permit the companies referred to in Article 27 to omit disclosure of the information specified in Articles 34(2) and 43(1)(8).’
Amendment to Directive 83/349/EEC
In Article 13 of Directive 83/349/EEC the following paragraph is inserted:
‘2a. Without prejudice to Article 4(2) and Articles 5 and 6, any parent undertaking governed by the national law of a Member State which only has subsidiary undertakings which are not material for the purposes of Article 16(3), both individually and as a whole, shall be exempted from the obligation imposed in Article 1(1).’
Transposition
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 January 2011. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When they are adopted by Member States, those measures shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Entry into force

COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1994 on the Community's financial contribution to a programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the Azores 1994 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (94/482/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the Azores and Madeira (1), as last amended by the Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1974/93 (2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision 93/522/EEC (3) defines what measures are eligible for Community financing as regards programmes for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira;
Whereas agricultural production conditions in the Azores call for particular attention, and action must be taken or reinforced as regards crop production, in particular the phytosanitary aspects for this region;
Whereas action to be taken or reinforced on the phytosanitary side is particularly costly;
Whereas the programme of action is to be presented to the Commission by the relevant Portuguese authorities; whereas this programme specifies the objectives to be achieved, the measures to be carried out, their duration and their cost so that the Community may contribute to financing them;
Whereas the Community's financial contribution may cover up to 75 % of eligible expenditure, protective measures for bananas excluded;
Whereas the technical information provided by Portugal has enabled the Standing Committee on Plant Health to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
The Community's financial contribution to the official programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products on the Azores presented for 1994 by the relevant Portuguese authorities is hereby approved.
The official programme shall relate to the control of Popillia Japonica New. On the island of Terceira in order to avoid its spread to other parts of the Community and to progressively tend to its total eradication on this island.
The programme covers the 1994 period and forms part of a larger programme, spread over several years, of specific phytosanitary measures for the Azores.
The Community contribution to financing the programme is limited to 75 % maximum of expenditure on eligible measures as defined by Commission Decision 93/522/EEC, and is set for 1994 at ECU 500 000 out of total expenditure of ECU 666 666 (VAT excluded).
The schedule of programme costs and their financing is set out as Annex I to this Decision. If the total eligible expenditure for 1994 presented by Portugal was less than the forecast amount of ECU 666 666, the Community's contribution would be reduced in proportion.
The Community will reimburse up to the amount specified in the first paragraph, at the financial rate of the ecu on 1 March 1994, i.e. ECU 1 = Esc 197,279.
An advance of ECU 200 000, amounting to 40 % of the Community contribution, shall be paid to the Member State.
The Community contribution shall be for expenditure on eligible measures in connection with operations covered by the programme concerning which provisions have been enacted in Portugal for which the necessary financial resources have been specifically committed at the latest during a period running from a date six months before the date of notification of this Decision and ending on 31 December 1994. On pain of loss of entitlement to Community financing, Portugal shall stop payments in connection with those operations by 1 August 1995 at the latest.
Specific provisions relating to the financing of the programme, provisions on compliance with Community policies and the information to be provided to the Commission by the Member State are set out in Annex II.
Public contracts in connection with investments covered by this Decision must be awarded in compliance with Community law, in particular the Directives coordinating procedures for awarding public works and supply contracts, and Articles 30, 52 and 59 of the EC Treaty.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 18 December 2013
determining that the temporary suspension of the preferential customs duty established under the stabilisation mechanism for bananas of the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part, is not appropriate for imports of bananas originating in Peru for the year 2013
(2013/783/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 19/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2013 implementing the bilateral safeguard clause and the stabilisation mechanism for bananas of the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A stabilisation mechanism for bananas has been introduced by the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part, which provisionally entered into force as regards to Colombia and Peru respectively on 1 August 2013 and on 1 March 2013.
(2) According to this mechanism, and pursuant to Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 19/2013, once a defined trigger volume is exceeded for imports of fresh bananas (heading 0803 90 10 of the European Union Combined Nomenclature) from Colombia or Peru, the Commission shall adopt an implementing act by which it may either temporarily suspend the preferential customs duty applied to imports of bananas from Colombia or Peru or determine that such suspension is not appropriate.
(3) The decision of the Commission shall be taken in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof.
(4) In November 2013 it appeared that the imports into the European Union of fresh bananas originating in Peru exceeded the threshold defined by the above Trade Agreement.
(5) In this context, pursuant to Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) No 19/2013, the Commission examined the impact of the imports concerned on the situation of the market for bananas of the European Union, taking into account, inter alia, the effect of the imports concerned on the Union price level, the development of imports from other sources as well as the overall stability of the Union market.
(6) Imports of fresh bananas from Peru represented only 1,8 % of the total imports of fresh bananas into the European Union in the period October 2012-September 2013 (based on Eurostat).
(7) Imports of fresh bananas from other traditional importing countries, notably Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama, remained largely below the thresholds defined for them in comparable stabilisation mechanisms, and they have been following the same trends and unit values in the past three years.
(8) The average wholesale banana price on the Union market in November 2013 (0,99 EUR/kg) did not register notable changes compared to banana price averages for the previous months.
(9) Furthermore, there is neither an indication that the stability of the Union market has been disturbed by the imports of fresh bananas from Peru in excess of the defined annual trigger import volume, nor that this had any significant impact on the situation of EU producers.
(10) On the basis of the examination above, the Commission has concluded that the suspension of preferential customs duty on imports of bananas originating in Peru is not appropriate. The Commission will continue to closely monitor banana imports from Peru,
The temporary suspension of preferential customs duty on imports of fresh bananas of heading 0803 90 10 of the European Union Combined Nomenclature originating in Peru is not appropriate for the year 2013.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
