COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 818/2009
of 7 September 2009
establishing a prohibition of fishing for ling in ICES zone IIIa; EC waters of IIIb, IIIc and IIId by vessels flying the flag of Denmark
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 of 16 January 2009 fixing for 2009 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2009.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2009.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2009 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex. It shall be prohibited to retain on board, tranship or land such stock caught by those vessels after that date.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

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

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 486/94 of 4 March 1994 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of fluorspar originating in the People's Republic of China and collecting definitively the provisional anti-dumping duty
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), hereinafter referred to as the basic Regulation, and in particular
Article 12
thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional measures
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2463/93 (2), hereinafter referred to as the Provisional Duty Regulation, the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of fluorspar, presented in filter cake or powder form, falling within CN code ex 2529 21 00 (Taric code 2529 21 00*10) or CN code ex 2529 22 00 (Taric code 2529 22 00*10), originating in the People's Republic of China.
The Council by Regulation (EC) No 3529/93 (3) extended the validity of this duty for a period not exceeding two months.
B. Subsequent procedure
(2) Subsequent to the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the interested parties who so requested, were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. Certain of these parties also presented written submissions making known their views on the findings.
(3) Upon request, the parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive anti-dumping measures and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of provisional duty.
They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure.
(4) The parties' comments were considered and the Commission modified its conclusions where it was deemed to be justified.
(5) Because of the complexity of the data examined and of the difficulties faced in selecting the reference country, the investigation could not be concluded within the time limit provided for in Article 7 (9) (a) of the basic Regulation.
C. Product under investigation and like product
(6) Subsequent to the publication of the provisional duty Regulation, the definition of the product was amended by Regulation (EC) No 3421/93.
No comments were received by the Commission in respect of this amendment and therefore this product definition is confirmed by the Council for definitive determination.
(7) As regards the definition of like product within the meaning of Article 2 (12) of the Basic Regulation, the Commission has established in recitals 10 and 11 of the provisional duty Regulation, that fluorspar originating in China, in South Africa - selected as a reference country - and in the European Community, has the same chemical and physical characteristics, the same final application and is fully interchangeable, irrespective of origin. In the absence of new arguments submitted by the parties, the Council confirms the conclusions of the Commission as set out in receitals 10 and 11 of the provisional duty Regulation.
D. Dumping
1. Normal value
(8) In the provisional duty Regulation, the Commission concluded that South Africa was an appropriate reference country for the determination of the normal value of Chinese imports into the Community.
Therefore, normal value was established in accordance with Article 2 (5) (a) (i) of the basic Regulation on the basis of the prices of fluorspar sold by a South African producer on its domestic market, for the reasons explained in recitals 14 and 15 of the provisional duty Regulation.
As the parties concerned by the proceeding have raised no objection to this choice and to the method of the determination of the normal value, the Council confirms the Commission's findings as set out in recitals 14 and 15 of the provisional duty Regulation.
(9) In recital 13 of the provisional duty Regulation the Commission had also considered that, in view of the fact that the South African producer has more difficult access to raw materials, a downward adjustment of the selling prices in South Africa was necessary for the establishment of the normal value in an appropriate and not unreasonable manner, in accordance with Article 2 (5) of the basic Regulation.
(10) The complainants claimed that the abovementioned adjustment is not in line with the basic Regulation for the following legal and technical reasons:
(i) The downward adjustment implies the fact that the Commission has taken costs related to the non-market economy country into consideration, which in accordance with Article 2 (5) of the basic Regulation should be avoided;
(ii) The Commission has taken into account only a selective choice of natural advantages and has not taken into consideration many other natural advantages and disadvantages, in addition to easier access in raw materials.
The Commission cannot accept these arguments. Indeed, the consideration of natural advantages, as described in the provisional duty Regulation, does not infer taking into account any costs in the non-market economy country. The downward adjustment is restricted to eliminating, in the determination of the normal value in the reference country, certain steps of the production process, which are necessary in South Africa and are not necessary in the People's Republic of China. The consequence of this elimination being that the relevant costs, as established in the reference country, should not be included in the determination of the normal value.
In this respect, the Commission believes that the purpose of this adjustment based on the natural advantage in the exporting country, is that of establishing the normal value in the reference country in an appropriate and not unreasonable manner, in accordance with Article 2 (5) of the basic Regulation.
(11) As to the technical arguments submitted by the complainants in this respect, the Commission considers that these elements are not related to the natural advantages enjoyed by the Chinese production. In addition, all the other advantages or disadvantages referred to by the complainants have only been supported by allegations without any evidence being supplied. In contrast to the above, it should be stressed that the adjustment made to the normal value was supported by data provided by the South African producer in the course of the verification visit showing that certain steps of the production process carried out in South Africa are not necessary in China, due to easier access to the main raw material as a result of a higher fluorspar content in the mined material.
(12) The Commission considers that the arguments submitted are not duly substantiated and therefore confirms the findings set out in the provisional duty Regulation.
The Council confirms the above conclusions of the Commission.
2. Export price
(13) Due to the insufficient cooperation of the Chinese producers, and as set out in recitals 16 to 18 of the provisional duty Regulation, the export price was determined on the best information available, in accordance with Article 7 (7) (b) of the basic Regulation. In the specific circumstances, this information was considered to be the data contained in Eurostat for Chinese exports under CN code ex 2529 22 00, which shows an average cif price at the Community frontier of ECU 82,5 per tonne.
As the parties have not contested this determination, the Council confirms this conclusion.
3. Comparison
(14) For purposes of provisional determination, normal value on an ex-works basis in South Africa was compared with a fob Chinese port export price in China.
(15) The complainants have objected to this methodology on the basis that this comparison is not at the same commercial stage and that as a consequence the transport costs which are necessary in South Africa to convey the product from the factory to the port have not been taken into account.
The exporters insisted on a comparison made on a fob level for the export price in the non-market economy country and on an ex-works basis for the normal value in the reference country, arguing that in case of a non-market economy country, the premises of the exporters correspond to the borders of the country.
The Commission, on considering all the arguments brought forward, accepts that, for purposes of comparison, the normal value and export price should normally be compared on an ex-factory level so that both can be compared at the same stage. In the case of a non-market economy country, Article 2 (5) of the basic Regulation precludes the investigation of the transport costs within the country. Because of this, the determination of a normal value at an ex-factory level is not possible unless the transport costs are calculated on the basis of the reference country. This requires, however, knowledge of the actual location of the production centres in the non-market economy country and in the case of there being several producers at different locations, the actual production of each one of them.
In this specific case and in view of the fact that the cooperating exporters represent only 21 % of the totality of the Chinese fluorspar imports into the Community in the investigation period, the Commission has not sufficient information concerning the actual distance of all the production centres to the ports. This lack of cooperation makes it impossible to evaluate the actual location of the production centres which export to the European Community.
In the circumstances, the Commission, in view of the fact that the comparison cannot be made at an ex-works stage, considers that the first equivalent stage at which reliable information is available is the fob level. Because of this, the Commission considers the comparison at the fob level to be the more reasonable and appropriate.
The Council confirms these conclusions.
(16) As to the other adjustments made by the Commission, no observations have been made by the parties. The conclusions of the Commission are therefore by the Council.
4. Dumping margin
(17) As a result of the modification to the export price calculation, the definitive dumping margin, expressed as a percentage of the cif value, is equal to 37,8 %. The Council confirms the above conclusions as well as all the other conclusions set out in recitals 21 and 22 of the provisional duty Regulation.
E. Injury
(18) In its preliminary considerations, (recital 23 of the provisional duty Regulation), the Commission assessed injury on data referring to the free market and concluded that the Community fluorspar industry had suffered material injury because of the effects of the dumped imports from the country concerned.
(19) The exporters have argued that the injury was not caused to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4 (5) of the Basic Regulation and that the complainants do not qualify as such Community industry.
In respect of this argument, the Commission has established that the cooperating producers accounted for approximately 90 % of the total Community production of fluorspar (see recital 3 of the provisional duty Regulation), and therefore complied with the requirements of Article 4 (5) to be qualified as the Community industry.
As established in recital 23 of the provisional duty Regulation, the Commission considered that, because of the particular characteristics of the fluorspar market in the Community, the assessment of injury could be restricted to the free market. This separation only concerns the assessment of injury and does not infer a reduction of the size of the Community industry for purposes of its qualification under Article 4 (5).
(20) Furthermore, the exporters contested the separation of the market into two different segments, which they considered wholly unwarranted and disputed that it was in compliance with the criteria indicated by the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.
In this respect, however, no substantiated arguments were made concerning the non-compliance with these criteria and, accordingly, the Commission confirms its findings as indicated in recital 23 of the Provisional Duty Regulation.
(21) The Council confirms the conclusions of the Commission concerning the market to be assessed and all data concerning the determination of injury.
F. Causal link between injury and dumped imports
(22) In recital 40 of the provisional duty Regulation, the Commission concluded that the dumped imports originating in the People's Republic of China, because of their increasingly strong presence on the Community market, their low prices and the resultant lack of profitability of the Community industry, caused material injury to the Community industry.
The exporters contested the causal link between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Community industry, as established by the Commission.
The Commission has replied to these arguments and has received no further comments from the exporters.
Therefore, the Council confirms the conclusions of the Commission as set out in recitals 35 to 39 of the provisional duty Regulation.
G. Community interest
(23) The Commission has received no observations from the interested parties concerning its provisional findings. Therefore, the considerations on the Community interest, as set out in recitals 41 to 44 of the provisional duty Regulation, are to be considered as final.
The Council confirms these conclusions.
H. Definitive duty
(24) In order to determine whether a lower dumping duty should be imposed, the Commission compared the weighted average selling price of Chinese fluorspar (on a Community frontier customs cleared basis) with the corresponding average price of fluorspar produced and sold during the same period by the Community industry. Since this difference was higher than the dumping margin established, it is the latter which should be imposed.
As a result of the modification in the dumping margin, the minimum price referred to under recital 45 of the provisional duty Regulation should be ECU 113,5 per tonne. All the other conclusions of recital 45 are confirmed for the purpose of definitive determinations.
The Council confirms the conclusions of the Commission.
I. Collection of provisional duties
(25) In view of the dumping margin established and the seriousness of the injury caused to the Community industry, the Council considers it necessary that amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duties should be definitively collected,
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of fluorspar presented in filter cake or powder form, falling within CN code ex 2529 21 00 (Taric code 2529 21 00 * 10) or CN code ex 2529 22 00 (Taric code 2529 22 00 * 10), originating in the People's Republic of China.
2. The duty shall be equal to the difference between a minimum price of ECU 113,50 per tonne (dry net weight) and the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before customs clearance.
3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2463/93 shall be definitively collected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that 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.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 110 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 (2) lays down provisions for the implementation of the national apiculture programmes provided for in Article 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. According to Article 2(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 917/2004, the apiculture programme measures laid down for every year of the three-year period shall be implemented by 31 August of the year to which they relate and payments shall be carried out during the annual exercise established from 16 October of the same year to 15 October of the following year. As a result, Member States cannot implement apiculture measures between 1 September of the year of the apiculture programme and 15 October of the same year.
(2) In order to avoid the gap between the implementation and the funding of apiculture measures, the relevant dates need to be changed so that measures can be implemented all year round.
(3) The Union financial contribution to national apiculture programmes is based on the bee census/number of hives in each Member State as set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 917/2004.
(4) In accordance with Article 109 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Member States submitted their national apiculture programmes and updated the numbers of hives as provided for in Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 917/2004. The updated numbers of hives should be reflected in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 917/2004.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The amendments provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation for Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 2, paragraphs 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
(2) Annex I is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2166/2002
of 5 December 2002
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/1999 (2).
(2) The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by giving more detailed information on the product description, geographical area, proof of origin, method of production, labelling, national requirements and the contact details of the structures responsible for monitoring the designation and the applicant group, and by removing the requirement for packaging in the area.
(3) The Commission has examined the amendments in question and concluded that they are justified. Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve it without following the procedure set out in Articles 50 and 52 of the Regulation,
The specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
Annex II to this Regulation contains the consolidated Single Document setting out the main points of the specification.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 (2) lays down certain marketing standards for poultrymeat;
Whereas the definitions of poultrymeat contained in Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 should be amended so as to exclude all types of poultrymeat preparations;
Whereas, in order to take due account of the conditions for poultrymeat marketing at retail trade level, Member States should be permitted to lay down specific temperature requirements for the cutting and storage of fresh poultrymeat in the retail trade,
Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 is hereby amended as follows:
'1. "poultrymeat" means: poultrymeat suitable for human consumption, which has not undergone any treatment other than cold treatment;'
2. Article 2, point 5, shall be replaced by the following:
'5. "fresh poultrymeat" means: poultrymeat not stiffened by the cooling process, which is to be kept at a temperature not below - 2 °C and not higher than 4 °C at any time; however, Member States may fix different temperature requirements for the cutting and storage of fresh poultrymeat performed in retail shops or in premises adjacent to sales points, where the cutting and storage are performed solely for the purpose of supplying the consumer directly on the spot;'.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1533/95(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1419/98(3), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
(1) Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 of 3 May 1989 laying down rules implementing the system of aid for cotton(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1664/98(6), lays down the arrangements for determining the world market price for unginned cotton; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 of 22 December 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the agrimonetary system for the euro in agriculture(7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1410/1999(8), provides for the use of the daily dollar-euro exchange rate and thus no longer allows, as was previously the case, the average change in the dollar-ecu rate over a 10-day period to be taken into account; whereas the henceforth daily monitoring of the change in the dollar-euro exchange rate has led to the world market price for ungilmed cotton and the resultant advances on the aid being fixed many times; whereas, to simplify administration, the arrangements for determining the world market price should be adjusted; whereas, however, such adjustment must enable any sudden major shifts in the various factors affecting that price to be taken into account;
(2) Whereas Article 9(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 lays down a time limit for the lodging of applications for supervised storage; whereas, however, to prevent the excessive withholding of unginned cotton by producers, Member States have the possibility of setting an earlier date for the country as a whole; whereas experience has shown the need to take account of regional weather variations and to provide for the Member State, in the event of unfavourable weather conditions, to derogate from its decision and to authorise for a brief period thereafter the placing under supervised storage of cotton originating in such regions;
(3) Whereas Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 provides that the rate for converting the euro into national currency to be applied to the minimum price, the amount of the advance on the aid and the aid itself, is to be that in force on the day the unginned cotton is taken into supervised storage; whereas taking into supervised storage is an operative event that may vary daily in certain months of the marketing year; whereas, to prevent variations that could affect the daily deliveries of one and the same producer, it is necessary to lay down a specific operative event;
(4) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1(1) is replaced by the following: "1. The Commission shall determine the world market price for unginned cotton in euro for the period 1 September to 31 March. The price shall be determined on the last working day preceding the first, 11th and 2lst of each month and shall enter into force on the day following the date on which it is determined. The working days taken into account shall be those applied by the Commission. The exchange rate for the euro used to determine the world market price shall be that applicable on the day on which the offers and quotations referred to in Article 2 are established.
However, in the event of significant changes in the world market price referred to in the first subparagraph, the Commission may amend the said price without delay.".
2. In the second subparagraph of Article 9(2), the following sentence is added: "However, in the event of unfavourable weather conditions, Member States may, during the last five working days in March, authorise the placing under supervision of the cotton concerned. In such case, Member States shall inform the Commission thereof no later than 10 days before that period".
3. Article 15 is replaced by the following: "Article 15
The exchange rate for the euro to be applied to the minimum price, the amount of the advance and the aid shall be that of the date of entry into force of the world market price for unginned cotton applicable when the consignment of cotton in question is placed under supervised storage".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1999.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 14 January 2014
amending Decision 2010/221/EU as regards national measures for preventing the introduction of certain aquatic animal diseases into parts of Ireland, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom
(notified under document C(2014) 26)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/12/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2010/221/EU (2) allows certain Member States to apply placing on the market and import restrictions on consignments of those animals in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases into their territory, provided that they have demonstrated that their territory, or certain demarcated areas of their territory, are free of such diseases. In addition, Member States which have an approved eradication programme may apply the same restrictions until 31 December 2013.
(2) Decision 2010/221/EU provides that the Member States and parts thereof listed in Annex I thereto are to be regarded as free from the diseases listed in that Annex. In addition, Decision 2010/221/EU approved the eradication programmes adopted by certain Member States in respect of the areas and the diseases listed in Annex II thereto. That Decision also approved the surveillance programmes regarding ostreid herpes virus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar) adopted by certain Member States in respect of the areas set out in Annex III thereto.
(3) Certain continental parts of the territory of Finland and all the continental parts of the territory of Sweden are listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU as territories with an approved eradication programme as regards bacterial kidney disease (BKD).
(4) The coastal parts of the territory of Sweden are listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU as having an approved eradication programme as regards infectious pancreas necrosis virus (IPN).
(5) Finland has reported to the Commission that progress has been made in the eradication programme for BKD. Since 2012 no new BKD outbreaks have been detected in the area subject to the BKD eradication programme. Two farms, however, remain under restrictions since they are still in the process of cleaning and final testing to confirm their disease-free status with regard to BKD. In view of that, Finland has requested the extension of the period during which it may apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU on consignments of certain aquaculture animals introduced into areas of its territory subject to an eradication programme with regard to BKD, in order to be able to finalise the approved eradication programme.
(6) Sweden has reported to the Commission that during the last 3 years of surveillance in the areas subjected to the approved eradication programme only one farm has tested positive as regards BKD. That farm has since been emptied and cleaning and disinfection are currently being carried out. In view of that situation, Sweden reported that the BKD status of the area of its territory listed in Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU will be evaluated in 2014. Consequently, Sweden has requested the extension of the period during which it may apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU on consignments of certain aquaculture animals introduced into the areas of its territory subject to an eradication programme with regard to BKD, in order to be able to finalise the approved eradication programme.
(7) On the basis of the information provided by Finland and Sweden, it is appropriate to extend the period during which those Member States may apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU. However, taking into account that eradication has not yet been completely achieved despite the fact that the national eradication programmes have been implemented for a considerable period, the appropriateness of the national measures needs to be re-evaluated. The possibility to apply those restrictions should therefore be extended by 2 more years, in order to allow for such re-evaluation.
(8) As regards IPN, both Finland and Sweden have asked for an evaluation of the further approach and scope of the surveillance and eradication programmes for that disease. At current situation the definition of IPN has been interpreted to include all genogroups of IPN-virus. Only strains of IPN-virus genogroup 5 are known to cause mortality and clinical disease in farmed salmonids in Europe, and other genogroups should therefore not be included in those eradication programmes. A decision on this issue can, however, only be made on the basis of a comprehensive scientific evaluation. Until such evaluation is completed, it is appropriate to prolong the ongoing IPN eradication programmes. The possibility to apply placing on the market and import restrictions as set out in Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be extended by 2 more years also for this purpose.
(9) Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU currently lists nine compartments in the territory of Ireland with an approved surveillance programme as regards ostreid herpesvirus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar).
(10) Ireland has notified to the Commission the detection of OsHV-1 μvar in three of those compartments, namely compartment 8, Dunmanus Bay, compartment 9, Kinsale Bay and Ballylongford Bay of compartment 6. Consequently, the compartments 8 and 9 should be deleted from the list in Annex III to Decision 2010/221/EU and the geographical demarcation of compartment 6 in that list should be amended.
(11) The United Kingdom has notified to the Commission a declaration of freedom from OsHV-1 μvar for the entire coast of the United Kingdom including Guernsey, except for Whitstable Bay in Kent, Blackwater estuary in Essex and Poole Harbour in Dorset. Larne Lough in Northern Ireland is also included in that declaration. That declaration complies with the requirements for a declaration of freedom of disease laid down in Directive 2006/88/EC. Accordingly, the territory of the United Kingdom except Whitstable Bay, Kent, Blackwater estuary, Essex, and Poole Harbour in Dorset, Dundrum Bay, Killough Bay, Lough Foyle, Carlingford Lough and Strangford Lough Bay in Northern Ireland should be declared free of ostreid herpes virus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar).
(12) Article 3(2) of the current Decision 2010/221/EU limits the authorisation to apply certain national measures in accordance with Article 43 of Directive 2006/88/EC in time until 31 December 2013. In order to avoid any disruption in the application of these measures, the proposed amendments should apply from 1 January 2014.
(13) Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2010/221/EU is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 3(2), the date ‘31 December 2013’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2015’;
(2) Annexes I and III to Decision 2010/221/EU are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2014.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

In order to ensure market supply, in particular in the new Member States, that Regulation fixed an additional quantity on a transitional basis for the purpose of issuing import licences. This additional quantity must be managed using the mechanisms and instruments put in place by Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 of 7 May 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community (3).
(2) Articles 14(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 provide that indicative quantities and individual ceilings may be fixed for the purposes of issuing import licences for each of the first three quarters of the year.
(3) For the purpose of fixing those indicative quantities and individual ceilings, it is appropriate to apply the same percentages as those fixed for the management of A/B and C tariff quotas in Commission Regulation (EC) No 329/2005 (4) so as to ensure adequate supplies and the continuation of trade flows between the production and marketing sectors.
(4) In view of the fact that this Regulation must apply before the start of the period for the submission of licence applications for the second quarter of 2005, provision should be made for this Regulation to enter into force immediately.
(5) This Regulation must apply to operators established in the Community and being registered in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Under the additional quantity provided for in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004, the indicative quantity referred to in Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 for the issue of import licences for bananas is hereby fixed, for the second quarter of 2005, at 29 % of the quantities available for respectively traditional operators and non-traditional operators as established in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004.
Under the additional quantity provided for in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1892/2004, the maximum authorised quantity referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 for licence applications for the import of bananas for the second quarter of 2005, is fixed at:

(1) By virtue of Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, each Member State is required to produce a Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) starting with the index for January 1997.
(2) According to Article 2(a)(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1749/96 of 9 September 1996 on initial implementing measures for Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 concerning harmonised indices of consumer prices(3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1688/98(4), prices used in the HICP are the purchaser prices paid by households to purchase individual goods and services in monetary transactions.
(3) There is considerable scope for procedural differences in the timing of entering purchaser prices into the HICP. A harmonised methodology regarding such timing is necessary to ensure that the resulting HICPs meet the comparability requirement of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95, in particular for products in respect of which there may be a difference between the time of purchase, payment, or delivery and the time of consumption.
(4) The rules in this Regulation are consistent with the definitions laid down in the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA 95) set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European System of national and regional accounts in the Community(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 448/98(6) in so far as ESA 95 is consistent with the purposes of the HICP.
(5) In particular, point 3.89 of ESA 95 states that goods and services should in general be recorded when the payables are created, that is, when the purchaser incurs a liability to the seller.
(6) The HICP should reflect the price change to the base or reference period on the basis of the change in expenditure while maintaining the consumption pattern of households and composition of the consumer population.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(7),
Aim
The aim of this Regulation is to harmonise the timing or recording and entering purchaser prices into the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (hereinafter referred to as HICP) in order to ensure that HICPs are reliable and relevant and meet the comparability requirement laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95.
Timing
Prices used in the HICP shall be the purchaser prices paid by households to purchase individual goods or services in monetary transactions. Prices for goods shall be entered into the HICP for the month in which they are observed. Prices for services shall be entered into the HICP for the month in which the consumption of the service at the observed prices can commence.
Implementation
The provisions of this Regulation shall be applied by Member States in December 2000 and take effect with the index for January 2001.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that 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 Regulation (EC) No 2099/2001
of 25 October 2001
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 (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 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 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of 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(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95(6), 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 pregelatinized 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(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 October 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

REGULATION (EC) No 457/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 April 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 on the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 (3) provides for the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers laid down in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), in order to reduce the risk of accidental oil pollution in European waters.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 introduced measures prohibiting the carriage of heavy grades of oil in single-hull oil tankers leaving or bound for ports in the European Union.
(3) Following action by the Member States and the Commission within the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), this ban has been imposed worldwide through an amendment to Annex I to MARPOL 73/78.
(4) Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation 13H of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 concerning the ban on the carriage of heavy grades of oil in single-hull oil tankers provide for the possibility of exemptions from the application of certain provisions of Regulation 13H. The statement by the Italian Presidency of the European Council on behalf of the European Union, recorded in the official report of the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 50), expresses a political commitment to refrain from making use of these exemptions.
(5) Under Regulation (EC) No 417/2002, a ship flying the flag of a Member State could apply the exemptions from Regulation 13H if it operated outside ports or offshore terminals under the jurisdiction of a Member State and still comply with Regulation (EC) No 417/2002.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 shall be replaced by the following:
‘3. No oil tanker carrying heavy grades of oil shall be allowed to fly the flag of a Member State unless such tanker is a double-hull tanker.
No oil tanker carrying heavy grades of oil, irrespective of its flag, shall be allowed to enter or leave ports or offshore terminals or to anchor in areas under the jurisdiction of a Member State, unless such tanker is a double-hull oil tanker.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) The primary source of information at the roadside checks is the recordings made in the tachograph. The lack of records should only be justified where tachograph records, including manual entries, were not possible for objective reasons. In such cases the attestation confirming such reasons should be established.
(2) The form of attestation provided in the Annex to Commission Decision 2007/230/EC (2) proved to be insufficient to cover all cases where it is technically impossible to record a driver’s activities on the recording equipment.
(3) In order to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the checking by Member States of compliance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport and amending Council Regulations (EEC) No 3821/85 and (EC) No 2135/98 and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 (3), the form should be modified by the insertion of additional elements to those indicated in Article 11(3) of Directive 2006/22/EC.
(4) The form of attestation should be used only if the tachograph records, for objective technical reasons, are unable to demonstrate that the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 have been respected.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 18(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 of 20 December 1985 on recording equipment in road transport (4),

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (2), and in particular Article 3a (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 7 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84 of 5 June 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables (3) provides that processing contracts shall be concluded:
- before 11 July in Member States other than France, Italy and Greece for Bigarreau cherries and other sweet cherries,
- before 11 July in all Member States in respect of Morello cherries
which are to be delivered to the industry during the period 10 May to 15 September;
Whereas in the Member States other than France, Italy and Greece, climatic conditions have resulted in late ripening of cherries;
Whereas it is difficult for the producers to estimate the quantity for which processing contracts should be concluded before 11 July;
Whereas to remedy that situation the time limit for conclusion of contracts should be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
Notwithstanding the fifth and sixth indents of Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84, processing contracts concerning cherries shall for the 1984/85 marketing year in the Member States other than France, Italy and Greece be concluded before 1 August 1984.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 19 July 1968 on the standardisation of provisions regarding the duty-free admission of fuel contained in the fuel tanks of commercial motor vehicles (68/297/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 75 and 99 thereof;
Having regard to the Council Decision 1 of 13 May 1965 on the harmonisation of certain provisions affecting competition in transport by rail, road and inland waterway, and in particular Article 1 (b) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 2;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 3;
Whereas the adoption of a common transport policy calls for the establishment of common rules for international transport to or from the territory of a Member State, or passing across the territory of one or more Member States;
Whereas the establishment of these common rules should also include standardisation of the provisions concerning the duty-free admission of fuel contained in the fuel tanks of commercial motor vehicles;
Whereas, in order to harmonise conditions of competition between carriers in the various Member States: - the minimum quantity of fuel admitted duty-free should be specified, and the conditions for duty-free admission of additional quantities should be laid down;
- the provisions applicable in a Member State concerning the duty-free admission of fuel should be the same irrespective of the Member State in which the vehicle is registered;
Whereas, in order to avoid abuses in respect of fuel imported duty-free, special provisions should be made with regard to frontier zones;
Member States shall, acting in accordance with this Directive, standardise provisions regarding the duty-free admission of fuel contained in fuel tanks of commercial motor vehicles registered in a Member State and travelling across common frontiers between Member States.
For the purposes of this Directive "commercial motor vehicle" means any motorised road vehicle which in construction and equipment is suitable and intended for the carriage, with or without remuneration: (a) of more than nine persons including the driver;
(b) of goods.
1. With effect from 1 February 1969 at the latest, Member States shall admit duty-free a quantity of fifty litres of motor fuel.
2. Whenever a major approximation of national systems of diesel fuel taxation is undertaken, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, shall specify the quantity of fuel which Member States shall admit duty-free in excess of the quantity specified in paragraph 1.
The Council shall, following the same procedure, take a decision concerning the duty-free admission of all of the fuel contained in the normal fuel tanks of commercial motor vehicles, once differences in the 1OJ No 88, 24.5.1965, p. 1500/65. 2OJ No 28, 17.2.1967, p. 459/67. 3OJ No 42, 7.3.1967, p. 618/67.
aforesaid systems of taxation have been sufficiently reduced.
3. Each Member State may admit duty-free quantities of fuel in excess of the quantities admissible pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2.
4. Quantities of fuel specified by a Member State pursuant to any of the foregoing paragraphs shall be the same irrespective of the Member State in which the commercial motor vehicle is registered.
In no case may measures adopted by a Member State pursuant to this Directive be less favourable than those applied by that Member State to commercial motor vehicles registered in third countries and travelling across common frontiers between Member States.
1. Each Member State may, after consulting the Commission, limit the quantities admitted duty-free in pursuance of Article 3 (2) as regards commercial motor vehicles performing international transport operations into its frontier zone to a depth not exceeding twenty-five kilometres as the crow flies.
2. Quantities of fuel specified by a Member State pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be the same irrespective of the Member State in which the commercial motor vehicle concerned is registered.

(2007/146/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 8(3) and Articles 11 and 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on animals leaving those zones.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (the restricted zones) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue.
(3) Intra-Community trade in ova and embryos complying with the conditions set out in Annex II.C.1 to Decision 2005/393/EC should not require the prior movement approval of the Member State of destination, as no post-collection testing for bluetongue is required, according to the risk assessment carried out by the International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) and in line with the recommendations of the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) as regards that disease.
(4) Intra-Community trade in ova and embryos complying with the conditions set out in Annex II.C.2 to Decision 2005/393/EC should not require the prior movement approval of the Member State of destination, as post-collection testing verifies beyond doubt the absence of the disease in the donor animal.
(5) On 20 December 2006 France requested the Commission to adapt the demarcation of the restricted zone in France due to the cessation of the vector’s activity in the affected area.
(6) By Decision 2006/762/EC (3), the Commission adopted certain protective measures against bluetongue in Bulgaria to avoid the spread of the disease from the affected area of the administrative district of Burgas in relation to the import into the Community of susceptible animals.
(7) Consequently, Bulgaria being a Member State since 1 January 2007, the affected area should now be included in Annex I to Decision 2005/393/EC.
(8) On 9 January 2007 Germany informed the Commission of new outbreaks of bluetongue in Hessen and Lower Saxony. In view of those findings, it is appropriate to amend the demarcation of the restricted zone in Germany.
(9) On 10 January 2007, Italy presented a report to the Standing Committee for the Food Chain and Animal Health which concludes that the surveillance system in place in Italy has proved that no seroconversion has occurred in the Region of Marche, since April 2005.
(10) Consequently, that region should be considered free of bluetongue and, on the basis of the substantiated request submitted by Italy, deleted from the Italian regions listed under Zone B in Annex I to Decision 2005/393/EC.
(11) Decision 2005/393/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 5(1), point (b) is replaced by the following:
‘(b) except in the case of frozen semen and of ova and embryos, the Member State of destination gives its approval prior to the movement.’
2. Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (4), fixes detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.
(2) It results from regular monitoring of the information providing the basis for the verification of the import prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin that the representative prices for imports of certain products should be amended taking into account variations of prices according to origin. Therefore, representative prices should be published.
(3) It is necessary to apply this amendment as soon as possible, given the situation on the market.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2659/94 (2) lays down the amounts of private storage aid for Grana padano, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Provolone cheeses. In view of the financial resources available and taking account of the development in storage costs and of market price forecasts, it is necessary to amend those amounts.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk products,
Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2659/94 is replaced by the following:
‘1. The amount of private storage aid for cheese shall be as follows:
(a) EUR 0,10 per tonne per day of storage under contract for the warehousing costs;

— EUR 0,38 per tonne for Grana padano;
— EUR 0,46 per tonne for Parmigiano-Reggiano;
— EUR 0,30 per tonne for Provolone.’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2544/97 of 16 December 1997 initiating a 'new exporter` review of Council Regulation (EC) No 2160/96 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyester textured filament yarn originating, inter alia, in Indonesia, repealing the duty with regard to imports from an exporter in this country and making these imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a 'new exporter` review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`). The application was lodged by PT Polyfin Canggih, Indonesia, an exporter in Indonesia which claims it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994 (hereinafter referred to as 'the original investigation period`).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product concerned is polyester textured filament yarn falling within CN codes 5402 33 10 (synthetic textured filament yarn of polyesters measuring, per single yarn, not more than 14 tex (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex) and 5402 33 90 (synthetic textured filament yarn of polyesters measuring, per single yarn, more than 14 tex (other than sewing thread), not put up for retail sale, including synthetic monofilament of less than 67 decitex). These codes are given for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) By Regulation (EC) No 2160/96 (3) the Council imposed, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty of 20,2 % on imports of the product concerned originating in Indonesia, with the exception of several companies especially mentioned which are subject to a lesser duty.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant, PT Polyfin Canggih, Indonesia, has shown that it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in Indonesia which are subject to the aforementioned anti-dumping measures on the product concerned, and that it started exporting to the Community after the original investigation period.
(5) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment.
(6) In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation with a view to determining the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of duty to which its imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
E. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(7) Pursuant to Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the products concerned originating in Indonesia which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14 (5) of that Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a determination of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant's possible future liability cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
F. TIME LIMIT
(8) In the interest of sound administration, a period should be fixed within which interested parties, provided they can show that they are likely to be affected by the results of the investigation, may make their views known in writing and submit supporting evidence. A period should also be fixed, within which interested parties may make a written request for a hearing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
G. NON-COOPERATION
(9) It should be noted that in cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide, necessary information within the relevant time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the Basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available,
A review of Regulation (EC) No 2160/96 is hereby initiated in order to determine if and to what extent imports of polyester textured filament yarn falling within CN codes 5402 33 10 and 5402 33 90, originating in Indonesia, produced and sold for export to the Community by PT Polyfin Canggih, JL Otto Iskandardinata No 18, Bandung, Indonesia, should be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2160/96.
The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2160/96 is hereby repealed with regard to imports of the product identified in Article 1 (Taric additional code: 8753).
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known, present their views in writing and submit information within 37 days from the date of transmission of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same time limit. The transmission of a copy of this Regulation to the authorities of the exporting country shall be deemed to have taken place on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Any information relating to the matter and any request for a hearing should be sent to the following address:

Whereas:
(1) Article 18(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 requires a guide price to be fixed for each fishing year for each of the products and groups of products listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation.
(2) On the basis of the data currently available on the prices for the products concerned and the criteria referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, those prices should be increased, maintained or reduced for the 2002 fishing year depending on the species.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 1999/22/EC
of 29 March 1999
relating to the keeping of wild animals in zoos
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130s(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty(2),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein(3) requires evidence of the availability of adequate facilities for the accomodation and care of live specimens of a great many species before their importation into the Community is authorised; whereas that Regulation prohibits the display to the public for commercial purposes of specimens of species listed in Annex A thereof unless a specific exemption was granted for education, research or breeding purposes;
Whereas Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds(4), and Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora(5), prohibit the capture and keeping of and trade in a great number of species, whilst providing for exemptions for specific reasons, such as research and education, repopulation, reintroduction and breeding;
Whereas the proper implementation of existing and future Community legislation on the conservation of wild fauna and the need to ensure that zoos adequately fulfil their important role in the conservation of species, public education, and/or scientific research make it necessary to provide a common basis for Member States' legislation with regard to the licensing and inspection of zoos, the keeping of animals in zoos, the training of staff and the education of the visiting public;
Whereas action at the Community level is required in order to have zoos throughout the Community contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in accordance with the Community's obligation to adopt measures for ex situ conservation under Article 9 of the Convention on Biological Diversity;
Whereas a number of organisations such as the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria have produced guidelines for the care and accomodation of animals in zoos which could, where appropriate, assist in the development and adoption of national standards,
Aim
The objectives of this Directive are to protect wild fauna and to conserve biodiversity by providing for the adoption of measures by Member States for the licensing and inspection of zoos in the Community, thereby strengthening the role of zoos in the conservation of biodiversity.
Definition
For the purpose of this Directive, "zoos" means all permanent establishments where animals of wild species are kept for exhibition to the public for 7 or more days a year, with the exception of circuses, pet shops and establishments which Member States exempt from the requirements of this Directive on the grounds that they do not exhibit a significant number of animals or species to the public and that the exemption will not jeopardise the objectives of this Directive.
Requirements applicable to zoos
Member States shall take measures under Articles 4, 5, 6 and 7 to ensure all zoos implement the following conservation measures:
- participating in research from which conservation benefits accrue to the species, and/or training in relevant conservation skills, and/or the exchange of information relating to species conservation and/or, where appropriate, captive breeding, repopulation or reintroduction of species into the wild,

Council Regulation (EEC) No 747/93 of 17 March 1993 derogating, with regard to the granting to Portugal of the suckler cow premium, from Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 747/93 of 17 March 1993 derogating, with regard to the granting to Portugal of the suckler cow premium, from Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the Single Market requires the abolition of all barriers to trade not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also, to the greatest possible extent, between those Member States and the new Member States;
Whereas this approach means abolishing the only mechanism still protecting the Portuguese market in the beef and veal sector at this time, namely the supplementary trade mechanism licences; whereas it could consequently exert pressure on prices and the incomes of Portuguese producers; whereas appropriate support of the above incomes may be ensured by increasing for these producers for a period of three years the amount paid in respect of the suckler cow premium provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968, on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), and if the first impact of the abovementioned pressure is reduced by advances that the Portuguese Government would be authorized to grant; whereas the increase of the reserve laid down in Article 4f of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 may favour the structural improvement of Portuguese production and thus its adaptation to the situation created by the elimination of the accession mechanisms,
1. By way of derogation to Article 4b (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the Portuguese Republic, for 1993, on the basis of national funds and in accordance with the detailed rules provided for under Article 27 of the said Regulation, may, as from the entry into force of this Regulation, grant advances equal to 50 % of the applicable suckler cow premium.
2. By way of derogation from or additional to Article 4d of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68:
- 12 000 rights in addition to those provided for in paragraph 6 of the said Article shall be added to the Portuguese national reserve,
- the suckler cow premium provided for in paragraph 7 of the said Article shall be, for Portugal, fixed for the years 1993 to 1998 as follows:
1993: ECU 160,
1994: ECU 160,
1995: ECU 160,
1996: ECU 130,
1997: ECU 130,
1998: ECU 130.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,
Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 (1) implements several measures provided for by Council Decision 2011/101/CFSP (2), including the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain natural or legal persons, entities and bodies.
(2) The suspension of the travel restrictions and asset freeze measures applying to the majority of the individuals and entities set out in Annex I to Decision 2011/101/CFSP should be renewed, and further extended to cover eight more individuals.
(3) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(4) An updated Annex should be added to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 to include eight more individuals who are to benefit from the suspension of the prohibitions laid down in Article 6(1) and (2) thereof, in addition to the 81 persons and eight entities, who already benefit from the suspension of the application of Article 6 provided for in Council Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 (3).
(5) Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The extension of the suspension provided for in Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 is due to expire on 20 February 2014 and that extension is to be provided for in this Regulation. In the interests of legal clarity, therefore, Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 should be repealed.
(7) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force on the day of its publication,
Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 6, the following paragraph is added:
(2) the Annex to this Regulation is added as Annex IV.
Regulation (EU) No 298/2013 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when fixing the common agricultural prices each year, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to secure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community and to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach the consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the target price for milk should bear a balanced relationship to the prices for other agricultural products and in particular to the prices for beef and veal, and be consistent with the desired general pattern of cattle farming; whereas it is also necessary, in fixing that price, to take account of the Community's efforts to establish a long term balance between supply and demand on the milk market, allowing for external trade in milk and milk products;
Whereas the intervention prices for butter and for skimmed-milk powders are intended to contribute to the achievement of the target price for milk; whereas it is necessary to determine price levels in the light of the overall supply and demand situation on the Community market in milk and the opportunities for disposal of butter and skimmed-milk powder on the Community and world markets;
Whereas the intervention prices for Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5b of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, the Council, when fixing the target price for milk and the intervention prices, fixes a guarantee threshold for milk; whereas, however, the initial objective in fixing a guarantee threshold is achieved inter alia by means of an additional levy on deliveries of milk or milk products which exceed the reference quantities determined;
Whereas Article 68 of the Act of Accession has led to prices in Spain being set at a level differing from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, the Spanish prices should be aligned with the common prices at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas the criteria laid down for alignment lead to the Spanish prices being set at the level mentioned in Article 1 of this Regulation;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3639/90 of 11 December 1990 on the application in Portugal of the common price for butter (6) provides that the intervention price for butter applicable in Portugal is to be the common price decided for the 1991/92 marketing year; whereas, however, as regards skimmed-milk powder, it seems advisable to maintain unchanged the prices fixed for the 1990/91 marketing year in Portugal, on the mainland and the Azores,
For the 1991/92 milk year, the target price for milk and the intervention prices for milk products shall be as follows:
(ECU per 100 kg)

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 an agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria was signed in Brussels on 22 July 1972;
Whereas, for the purposes of implementing the safeguard clauses provided for in the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, the procedures to be followed are laid down by the Treaty itself;
Whereas, on the other hand, the detailed rules for implementing the safeguard clauses and precautionary measures provided for in Articles 22 to 27 of the Agreement remain to be laid down,
The Council may, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 113 of the Treaty, decide to refer to the Joint Committee established by the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria - hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement" - for the purpose of taking the measures provided for in Articles 22, 24 and 26 of the Agreement. Where necessary, the Council shall adopt these measures in accordance with the same procedure.
The Commission may submit the necessary proposals to this end on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State.
1. In the case of a practice that may justify application by the Community of the measures provided for in Article 23 of the Agreement, the Commission, after examining the case on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, shall decide whether such practice is compatible with the Agreement.
Where necessary it shall propose the adoption of safeguard measures to the Council, which shall act in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 113 of the Treaty.
2. In the case of a practice that may cause safeguard measures to be applied to the Community on the basis of Article 23 of the Agreement, the Commission, after examining the case, shall decide whether the practice is compatible with the principles set out in the Agreement. Where necessary, it shall formulate appropriate recommendations.
In the case of a practice that may justify application by the Community of the measures provided for in Article 25 of the Agreement, the procedures established by Regulation (EEC) No 459/68 (1) shall be applicable.
1. Where exceptional circumstances require immediate action in the situations referred to in Articles 24 and 26 of the Agreement or in the case of export aids that have a direct and immediate effect on trade, the precautionary measures provided for in Article 27 (3) (d) of the Agreement may be adopted as follows.
2. The Commission may, on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State, submit the necessary proposals, upon which the Council shall decide in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 113 of the Treaty.
3. The Member State concerned may, except in the case of export aids having a direct and immediate effect on trade, introduce quantitative restrictions on imports. It shall immediately notify the other Member States and the Commission of these measures.
The Commission shall decide by an emergency procedure and within a maximum period of three (1)OJ No L 93, 17.4.1968, p. 1.
working days in the case of Article 24, and five working days in the case of Article 26, of the notification referred to in the first subparagraph, whether the measures are to be retained, modified or abolished.
All the Member States shall be notified of the Commission's Decision, which shall be immediately enforceable.
Any Member State may refer the Commission's Decision to the Council within a maximum period of five working days in the case of Article 24, and ten working days in the case of Article 26, of notification of the Decision. The Council shall meet forthwith. It may by a qualified majority amend or rescind the Decision taken by the Commission.
If the Member State which took measures in pursuance of this paragraph refers the matter to the Council, the Decision of the Commission shall be suspended. The suspension shall end, in the case of Article 24, fifteen days and, in the case of Article 26, thirty days after the matter has been referred to the Council if the latter has not yet amended or rescinded the Decision of the Commission.
For the purpose of implementing this paragraph, priority must be given in the selection of measures to those which least disturb the functioning of the common market.
Before taking its decision concerning the measures taken in implementation of this paragraph by the Member State concerned, the Commission shall hold consultations.
These consultations shall take place within an advisory committee composed of representatives of each Member State and presided over by a representative of the Commission.
The committee shall meet when convened by its chairman. The latter shall forward to the Member States, within the shortest possible time, any appropriate information.
The provisions of this Regulation shall not affect implementation of the safeguard clauses provided for in the Treaty, in particular in Articles 108 and 109 thereof, in accordance with the procedures therein provided for.
Notification to the Joint Committee by the Community as required by Article 27 (2) of the Agreement shall be the responsibility of the Commission.
Before 31 December 1974, the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall decide upon such amendments to be made to this Regulation, in particular to Article 4 (3) thereof which may in the light of experience prove necessary in order to avoid the wish of compromising the unity of the common market.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 of 18 September 2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the stock of European eel (1), and in particular Article 1(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 establishes a framework for the protection and sustainable use of the stock of European eel in Community waters and in coastal lagoons, in estuaries, and in rivers and communicating inland waters of Member States.
(2) Member States are to identify and define the individual river basins lying within their national territory that constitute natural habitats for the European eel. For each eel river basin, Member States are to prepare an Eel Management Plan.
(3) Since European eel are found in the Black Sea and in river systems connected to it in low numbers, it is not certain whether or not those waters constitute a natural habitat for that species.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 empowers therefore the Commission to decide whether the Black Sea and the river systems connected to it constitute such a natural habitat requiring the implementation of recovery measures.
(5) The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries has advised the Commission that the Black Sea and the river systems connected to it are at the extreme limit of the distribution of European eel and that, before stocking occurred, the natural presence of eel was sporadic. Prior to stocking the density of European eel in those waters was too low to support fisheries on any life stage of eel.
(6) It is unlikely that any significant number of eel stocked into the rivers connected to the Black Sea could reach maturity and successfully complete the spawning migration to the Sargasso Sea. Additionally, it is unlikely that any significant number of juvenile eel could recruit into the rivers connected to the Black Sea, attain maturity and escape to spawning grounds.
(7) Any potential benefit to the stock of European eel resulting from recovery measures in the Black Sea and the river systems connected to it would be negligible and thus disproportionately low compared to the administrative and financial burden that would be laid upon the Member States concerned.
(8) It should therefore be established that the Black Sea and the river systems connected to it do not constitute a natural habitat for European eel for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The Black Sea and the river systems connected to it do not constitute a natural habitat for European eel for the purposes of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, Romania, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic.

Whereas:
(1) The quantities for which licence applications have been lodged by traditonal importers and by new importers during the first five working days of October 2006, pursuant to Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1870/2005 exceed the quantities available for products originating in China, Argentina and all third countries other than China and Argentina.
(2) It is now necessary to establish the extent to which the licence applications sent to the Commission by 16 October 2006 can be met and to fix, for each category of importer and product origin, the dates until which the issue of certificates should be suspended,
Applications for import licences lodged pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1870/2005, during the first five working days of October 2006 and sent to the Commission by 16 October 2006, shall be met at a percentage rate of the quantities applied for as set out in Annex I to this Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, Spain, France and Portugal have sent the Commission applications for the registration of certain names as designations of origin or geographical indications.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation, the applications have been found to meet all the requirements laid down therein and in particular to contain all the information required in accordance with Article 4 thereof.
(3) Following publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) of the names in the Annex to this Regulation, statements of objection within the meaning of Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 were sent to the Commission but were deemed to be unfounded and therefore inadmissible. The objections in question did not meet the exhaustive criteria laid down in Article 7(4) of that Regulation.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 (2) sets out the technical arrangements only for interoperability of spatial data sets.
(2) The interoperability of spatial data services is characterised by the capability to communicate, execute or transfer data among them. Therefore the spatial data services need to be further documented with additional metadata. To a lesser degree, it also concerns the harmonisation of the content of the service contrary to the spatial data sets implementing rules.
(3) For the development of the implementing rules mandated by Directive 2007/2/EC the emphasis was first put on the core services, i.e., the network services, with Commission Regulation (EC) No 976/2009 (3), and on the interoperability of the spatial data sets, in Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010. Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 should therefore now be amended to contain the implementing rules for the spatial data services.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 22 of Directive 2007/2/EC,
Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:
(2) in Article 2 the following points 31 to 38 are added:
‘31. “end point” means the internet address used to directly call an operation provided by a spatial data service,
32. “access point” means an internet address containing a detailed description of a spatial data service, including a list of end points to allow its execution,
33. “Invocable spatial data service” means all of the following:
(a) a spatial data service with metadata which fulfils the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1205/2008 (5),
(b) a spatial data service with at least one resource locator that is an access point,
(c) a spatial data service in conformity with a documented and publicly available set of technical specifications providing the information necessary for its execution,
34. “interoperable spatial data service” means an invocable spatial data service which fulfils the requirements of Annex VI,
35. “harmonised spatial data service” means an interoperable spatial data service which fulfils the requirements of Annex VII,
36. “conformant spatial data set” means a spatial data set which fulfils the requirements of this Regulation,
37. “operation” means an action supported by a spatial data service,
38. “interface” means the named set of operations that characterise the behaviour of an entity as defined by ISO 19119:2005.
(3) Article 6 is amended as follows:
(a) the title is replaced by the following:
(b) in paragraph 1, the introductory sentence is replaced by the following:
(4) in Article 8, the following paragraph 3 is added:
(5) after Article 14, the following Articles are inserted:
(6) Annex V, as set out in the Annex I to this Regulation, is added;
(7) Annex VI, as set out in the Annex II to this Regulation, is added;
(8) Annex VII, as set out in the Annex III to this Regulation, is added.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the Commission participated on behalf of the Community in the negotiations for the preparation of an international convention to combat desertification in accordance with the mandate conferred on it by the Council;
Whereas that Convention was signed on behalf of the Community in Paris on 14 October 1994;
Whereas the aim of that Convention is to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa, through effective action at all levels, supported by international cooperation and partnership arrangements, in the framework of an integrated approach with a view to contributing to the achievement of sustainable development in affected areas;
Whereas desertification is a major environmental problem caused by complex interactions among physical, biological, political, social, cultural and economic factors;
Whereas the Community has adopted measures, including legislative acts, and supported initiatives in the areas governed by the Convention and it is its duty to affirm and stand by its commitment in this field at international level;
Whereas the Community's policy on the environment contributes to the promotion, at international level, of measures designed to tackle regional or global environmental issues, including desertification;

Whereas the Convention includes provisions to help set up environmental protection initiatives and thereby combat desertification in the northern Mediterranean; whereas, therefore, such measures will help tackle regional environmental issues;
Whereas the Community's scientific and technological research policy contributes significantly towards the conservation of the environment and combating desertification, notably through its specific programmes for scientific and technological cooperation with third countries, and also through global change activities of the Environment and Climate programme;

Whereas the Irish Government has requested that the above derogation be prolonged;

'- Ireland may, until 30 June 1984, exclude from tax exemption goods whose unit value is in excess of 77 ECU'.

of 24 October 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 as regards the extension of the transitional period granted to food business operators importing fish oil intended for human consumption
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. That Regulation provides that food business operators producing fish oil intended for human consumption are to comply with the relevant provisions of Annex III thereto.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. It applies in respect of activities and persons to which Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 applies.
(3) Article 7(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (3) provides for a derogation from the requirements for fish oil for human consumption laid down in Part E of Chapter III of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 for food business operators so that they may continue, until 31 October 2007, to import fish oil from establishments in third countries that were approved for that purpose before the date of the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1664/2006 (4).
(4) In addition, Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 provides for a derogation from Annex VI to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down implementing measures for certain products under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and for the organisation of official controls under Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, derogating from Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (5), for fish oil for which a certificate has been issued in accordance with national rules applicable before the date of the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005, duly completed and signed prior to 31 October 2007, which may be imported into the Community until 31 December 2007.
(5) It now appears that third countries will be unable to comply with the requirements for fish oil for human consumption laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 by 31 October 2007. In particular, third countries are experiencing practical difficulties in adjusting the processing conditions in fish oil producing establishments in order to comply with those requirements. As the importation of fish oil on the basis of the existing requirements does not pose any additional risk for human health, and in order to avoid any disruption in trade, it is appropriate to extend by one year the period of the derogation. The derogation provided for in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should therefore be extended until 31 October 2008.
(6) The derogation provided for in Article 7(4)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should also be extended until 31 December 2008 for imports into the Community of fish oil accompanied by the relevant certificate. In addition, such certificates should be duly completed and signed prior to 31 October 2008.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 is amended as follows:
1. In paragraph 3, the date of ‘31 October 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 October 2008’.
2. In paragraph 4, point (b) is amended as follows:
(a) the date of ‘31 October 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 October 2008’;
(b) the date of ‘31 December 2007’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2008’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/10/EC
of 21 February 2007
amending Annex II to Council Directive 92/119/EEC as regards the measures to be taken within a protection zone following an outbreak of swine vesicular disease
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/119/EEC of 17 December 1992 introducing general Community measures for the control of certain animal diseases and specific measures relating to swine vesicular disease (1), and in particular Article 24(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (2), and in particular of Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 92/119/EEC lays down measures for the control of certain animal diseases. Specific provisions for swine vesicular disease are laid down in Annex II to that Directive.
(2) Since Council Directives 72/461/EEC (3) and 80/215/EEC (4) have been repealed with effect from 1 January 2006, references to those Directives contained in Directive 92/119/EEC should be replaced by references to Annexes II and III to Directive 2002/99/EC.
(3) It is appropriate to provide for a specific solution with respect to the marking of meat and its subsequent use, as well as the destination of the processed products, where the swine vesicular disease health situation so permits, provided that this is done in such a way that the degree of protection from swine vesicular by intra-Community trade or international trade is not impaired.
(4) Certain Member States have informed the Commission that the identification mark provided for in Annex II to Directive 2002/99/EC is poorly accepted by operators and customers in the industry. Accordingly, it is appropriate to provide for an alternative identification mark that Member States may decide to apply. However, in the interests of controls, it is important that Member States inform the Commission beforehand, if they decide to apply the alternative identification mark in case of an outbreak of swine vesicular disease.
(5) The alternative identification mark provided for in this Directive should be clearly distinguishable from other identification marks to be applied to pig meat in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (5) or Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (6).
(6) Unlike the general provisions of Article 13 of Directive 92/119/EEC, the specific provisions for swine vesicular disease in Annex II to that Directive do not provide for an authorisation to remove the animals from a holding within the protection zone in case the removal prohibition is maintained beyond 30 days because of the occurrence of further cases of the disease. It is appropriate to provide for such derogation for holdings in which the keeping of animals for longer periods than 30 days would cause problems.
(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Section 7 of Annex II to Directive 92/119/EEC is amended as follows:
(1) Point 2 is amended as follows:
(a) Point (g) is replaced by the following:
‘(g) meat from the pigs referred to in point (f)(i):
(i) shall not enter into intra-Community or international trade and shall bear the health mark for fresh meat provided for in Annex II to Council Directive 2002/99/EC (7);
(ii) shall be obtained, cut, transported and stored separately from meat intended for intra-Community and international trade and shall be used in such a way as to avoid it being introduced into meat products intended for intra-Community or international trade, unless it has undergone a treatment set out in Annex III to Directive 2002/99/EC;
(b) the following point (h) is added:
(i) by way of derogation from point (g), for meat from the pigs referred to in point (f)(i) Member States may decide to use an other identification mark than the special identification mark set out in Annex II to Directive 2002/99/EC, provided that it is clearly distinguishable from other identification marks to be applied to pig meat in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) or Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 (9);
(ii) for the purpose of (i) the identification mark must be legible and indelible, the characters easily readable and clearly displayed. The identification mark must have following shape and contain following indications:
(2) the following point 5 is added:
‘5. Where the prohibitions provided for in point 2(f) are maintained beyond 30 days because of the occurrence of further cases of the disease and as a result problems arise in keeping the animals, the competent authority may, following an application by the owner explaining the grounds for such application and provided that the official veterinarian has verified the facts, authorise the removal of the animals from a holding within the protection zone. Points 2(f) and (h) shall apply mutatis mutandis.’
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 January 2008 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Council Decision 2007/845/JHA of 6 December 2007 concerning cooperation between Asset Recovery Offices of the Member States in the field of tracing and identification of proceeds from, or other property related to, crime
|
18.12.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 332/103
COUNCIL DECISION 2007/845/JHA
of 6 December 2007
concerning cooperation between Asset Recovery Offices of the Member States in the field of tracing and identification of proceeds from, or other property related to, crime
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 30(1)(a) and (b) and 34(2)(c) thereof,
Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Austria and the Republic of Finland,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The main motive for cross-border organised crime is financial gain. This financial gain is a stimulus for committing further crime to achieve even more profit. Accordingly, law enforcement services should have the necessary skills to investigate and analyse financial trails of criminal activity. To combat organised crime effectively, information that can lead to the tracing and seizure of proceeds from crime and other property belonging to criminals has to be exchanged rapidly between the Member States of the European Union.
(2) The Council adopted Framework Decision 2003/577/JHA of 22 July 2003 on the execution in the European Union of orders freezing property or evidence (2) and Framework Decision 2005/212/JHA of 24 February 2005 on Confiscation of Crime-Related Proceeds, Instrumentalities and Property (3), dealing with certain aspects of judicial cooperation in criminal matters in the field of the freezing and confiscation of the proceeds from, instrumentalities of, and other property related to, crime.
(3) Close cooperation is necessary between the relevant authorities of the Member States involved in the tracing of illicit proceeds and other property that may become liable to confiscation and provision should be made allowing for direct communication between those authorities.
(4) To that end, Member States should have national Asset Recovery Offices in place which are competent in these fields, and should ensure that these offices can exchange information rapidly.
(5) The Camden Assets Recovery Inter-Agency Network (CARIN) established at The Hague on 22-23 September 2004 by Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands and the United Kingdom already constitutes a global network of practitioners and experts with the intention of enhancing mutual knowledge on methods and techniques in the area of cross-border identification, freezing, seizure and confiscation of the proceeds from, and other property related to, crime. This Decision should complete the CARIN by providing a legal basis for the exchange of information between Asset Recovery Offices of all the Member States.
(6) In its Communication to the Council and the European Parliament ‘The Hague Programme: Ten Priorities for the next five years’, the Commission advocated strengthening tools to address the financial aspects of organised crime, inter alia, by promoting the establishment of criminal asset intelligence units in Member States.
(7) Cooperation between the Asset Recovery Offices and between the Asset Recovery Offices and other authorities charged with the facilitation of the tracing and identification of proceeds of crime should take place on the basis of the procedures and time limits provided for in Council Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA of 18 December 2006 on simplifying the exchange of information and intelligence between law enforcement authorities of the Member States of the European Union (4), including the grounds for refusal contained therein.
(8) This Decision should be without prejudice to the cooperation arrangements under Council Decision 2000/642/JHA of 17 October 2000 concerning arrangements for cooperation between financial intelligence units of the Member States in exchanging information (5) and to existing arrangements for police cooperation,
Asset Recovery Offices
1. Each Member State shall set up or designate a national Asset Recovery Office, for the purposes of the facilitation of the tracing and identification of proceeds of crime and other crime related property which may become the object of a freezing, seizure or confiscation order made by a competent judicial authority in the course of criminal or, as far as possible under the national law of the Member State concerned, civil proceedings.
2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, a Member State may, in conformity with its national law, set up or designate two Asset Recovery Offices. Where a Member State has more than two authorities charged with the facilitation of the tracing and identification of proceeds of crime, it shall nominate a maximum of two of its Asset Recovery Offices as contact point(s).
3. Member States shall indicate the authorities which are the national Asset Recovery Offices within the meaning of this Article. They shall notify this information and any subsequent changes to the General Secretariat of the Council in writing. This notification shall not preclude other authorities which are charged with the facilitation of the tracing and identification of proceeds of crime from exchanging information under Articles 3 and 4 with an Asset Recovery Office of another Member State.
Cooperation between Asset Recovery Offices
1. Member States shall ensure that their Asset Recovery Offices cooperate with each other for the purposes set out in Article 1(1), by exchanging information and best practices, both upon request and spontaneously.
2. Member States shall ensure that this cooperation is not hampered by the status of the Asset Recovery Offices under national law, regardless of whether they form part of an administrative, law enforcement or a judicial authority.
Exchange of information between Asset Recovery Offices on request
1. An Asset Recovery Office of a Member State or other authorities in a Member State charged with the facilitation of the tracing and identification of proceeds of crime may make a request to an Asset Recovery Office of another Member State for information for the purposes set out in Article 1(1). To that end it shall rely on Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA and on the rules adopted in implementation thereof.
2. When filling out the form provided for under Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA, the requesting Asset Recovery Office shall specify the object of and the reasons for the request and the nature of the proceedings. It shall also provide details on property targeted or sought (bank accounts, real estate, cars, yachts and other high value items) and/or the natural or legal persons presumed to be involved (e.g. names, addresses, dates and places of birth, date of registration, shareholders, headquarters). Such details shall be as precise as possible.
Spontaneous exchange of information between Asset Recovery Offices
1. Asset Recovery Offices or other authorities charged with the facilitation of the tracing and identification of proceeds of crime may, within the limits of the applicable national law and without a request to that effect, exchange information which they consider necessary for the execution of the tasks of another Asset Recovery Office in pursuance of purpose set out in Article 1(1).
2. Article 3 shall apply to the exchange of information under this Article mutatis mutandis.
Data protection
1. Each Member State shall ensure that the established rules on data protection are applied also within the procedure on exchange of information provided for by this Decision.
2. The use of information which has been exchanged directly or bilaterally under this Decision shall be subject to the national data protection provisions of the receiving Member State, where the information shall be subject to the same data protection rules as if they had been gathered in the receiving Member State. The personal data processed in the context of the application of this Decision shall be protected in accordance with the Council of Europe Convention of 28 January 1981 for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, and, for those Member States which have ratified it, the Additional Protocol of 8 November 2001 to that Convention, regarding Supervisory Authorities and Transborder Data Flows. The principles of Recommendation No R(87) 15 of the Council of Europe Regulating the Use of Personal Data in the Police Sector should also be taken into account when law enforcement authorities handle personal data obtained under this Decision.
Exchange of best practices
Member States shall ensure that the Asset Recovery Offices shall exchange best practices concerning ways to improve the effectiveness of Member States’ efforts in tracing and identifying proceeds from, and other property related to, crime which may become the object of a freezing, seizure or confiscation order by a competent judicial authority.
Relationship to existing arrangements for cooperation
This Decision shall be without prejudice to the obligations resulting from European Union instruments on mutual legal assistance or on mutual recognition of decisions regarding criminal matters, from bilateral or multilateral agreements or arrangements between the Member States and third countries on mutual legal assistance and from Decision 2000/642/JHA and Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA.
Implementation
1. The Member States shall ensure that they are able to cooperate fully in accordance with the provisions of this Decision by 18 December 2008. By the same date Member States shall transmit to the General Secretariat of the Council and to the Commission the text of any provisions of their national law enabling them to comply with the obligations imposed on them under this Decision.
2. So long as the Member States have not yet implemented Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA, references to that Framework Decision in this Decision shall be understood as references to the applicable instruments on police cooperation between the Member States.
3. By 18 December 2010 the Council shall assess Member States’ compliance with this Decision on the basis of a report made by the Commission.
Application
This Decision shall take effect on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

of 16 June 2003
amending Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,

Whereas:
(1) By virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 of 20 December 1996, opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products(2), Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products were opened. Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes and increased, extended or terminated in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(3) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to invoke the grounds of urgency provided for in point I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national parliaments in the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities,

For the quota period from 1 January to 30 June 2003, Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be amended as follows:
- the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2902 shall be fixed at 20000 units,
- the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2935 shall be fixed at 120000 tonnes.
For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2003, Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be amended as follows:
- the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2904 shall be fixed at 8500 units,
- the quota amount of the tariff quota 09.2985 shall be fixed at 400000 units.
The quota period of the tariff quota 09.2867, which is given in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be extended until 31 December 2003.
The quota period of the tariff quota 09.2991, which is given in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be terminated by 30 June 2003.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 (3) opens and provides for the administration of tariff quotas and introduces a system of import licences and certificates of origin for garlic and other agricultural products imported from third countries.
(2) The quantities for which ‘A’ licence applications have been lodged by traditional importers and by new importers during the first seven working days of October 2012, pursuant to Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 341/2007 exceed the quantities available for products originating in China, Argentina and all third countries other than China and Argentina.
(3) Therefore, in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006, it is now necessary to establish the extent to which the ‘A’ licence applications sent to the Commission by 14 October 2012 can be met in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 341/2007.
(4) In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, the present Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 629/2008
of 2 July 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (2) sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs, including maximum levels for the metals lead, cadmium and mercury.
(2) It is essential, in order to protect public health, to keep contaminants at levels which do not cause health concerns. Maximum levels for lead, cadmium and mercury must be safe and as low as reasonably achievable based upon good manufacturing and agricultural/fishery practices.
(3) On the basis of new information, good agricultural and fisheries practices do not allow keeping levels of lead, cadmium and mercury in certain aquatic species and fungi as low as required in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006. It is therefore necessary to revise the maximum levels fixed for those contaminants while maintaining a high level of consumer health protection.
(4) High levels of lead, cadmium and mercury have been found in certain food supplements as defined in Article 2 of Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food supplements (3) and were notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). It has been shown that these food supplements can contribute significantly to human exposure to lead, cadmium and mercury. In order to protect public health, it is therefore appropriate to set maximum levels for lead, cadmium and mercury in food supplements. These maximum levels must be safe and as low as reasonably achievable based upon good manufacturing practices.
(5) Seaweed accumulates cadmium naturally. Food supplements consisting exclusively or mainly of dried seaweed or of products derived from seaweed can therefore contain higher levels of cadmium than other food supplements. To take this into account, a higher maximum level for cadmium is needed for food supplements consisting exclusively or mainly of seaweed.
(6) Member States and food business operators should be allowed time to adapt to the new maximum levels for food supplements. The application of the maximum levels for food supplements should therefore be deferred.
(7) An amendment of Footnote 1 of the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is necessary to clarify that the maximum level for fruit does not apply to tree nuts.
(8) New monitoring recommendations have been introduced by Commission Recommendation 2007/196/EC of 28 March 2007 on the monitoring of the presence of furan in foodstuffs (4) and Commission Recommendation 2007/331/EC of 3 May 2007 on the monitoring of acrylamide levels in food (5). The provisions on monitoring and reporting in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 therefore need to be completed with references to those new Recommendations. The monitoring exercise on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons set out in Commission Recommendation 2005/108/EC (6) has been finalised. Therefore, the reference to that monitoring Recommendation can be deleted.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 9, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
2. The Annex is amended in accordance to the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The maximum levels laid down in points 3.1.18, 3.2.19, 3.2.20 and 3.3.3 of the Annex shall apply from 1 July 2009. They shall not apply to products lawfully placed on the market before 1 July 2009. The burden of proving when the products were placed on the market shall be borne by the food business operator.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material(1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/161/EEC of 30 March 1971 on external quality standards for forest reproductive material marketed within the Community(2), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by five Member States,
Whereas:
(1) Production of reproductive material of the species set out in the Annex is at present insufficient in certain Member States with the result that their requirements for reproductive material of those species conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC or Directive 71/161/EEC cannot be met.
(2) Other Member States and third countries are not in a position to supply sufficient reproductive material of the relevant species affording the same guarantees as Community reproductive material and conforming to the provisions of Directive 66/404/EEC or Directive 71/161/EEC.
(3) Accordingly, the Member States concerned, namely Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have requested the Commission, pursuant to those Directives to authorise them to accept for marketing seed satisfying less stringent requirements than those laid down by those Directives.
(4) In order to cover the shortage, the applicant Member States should therefore be authorised to permit, for a limited period, the marketing of seed of the relevant species which satisfies less stringent requirements.
(5) In reference to Article 6 of the Commission Decision 2001/765/EC(3), due to the biological cycles of forest reproductive material, it is appropriate to permit the marketing of stocks authorised under this decision until their exhaustion.
(6) For genetic reasons, the seed should be collected at places of origin within the natural range of the relevant species and the strictest possible guarantees should be given to ensure the identity of the seed.
(7) The seed should be marketed only if it is accompanied by a document bearing certain details of the seed in question.
(8) Any Member State should be authorised to permit, in its territory, the marketing of seed which satisfies less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, if the marketing of such seed has been authorised in Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom under this decision.
(9) Decision 2001/765/EC as amended by Decision 2002/17/EC(4) should be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Article 6 of Decision 2001/765/EC shall be amended adding the following paragraph:"Notwithstanding, stocks of forest reproductive material authorised under this decision and accumulated before 31 December 2002 shall be allowed to be marketed until their exhaustion."
Annex I to Decision 2001/765/EC is amended as set out in the Annex to this decision.
This decision is addressed to the Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 8(1) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (2), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2004/438/EC of 29 April 2004 laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions for introduction in the Community of heat-treated milk, milk-based products and raw milk intended for human consumption (3) contains a list in Annex I thereto of third countries from which imports into the Community of raw milk and raw-milk based products are allowed, subject to certain conditions. In addition, consignments of milk and milk-based products which comply with the animal health requirements set out in that Decision may transit through the Community to other third countries.
(2) Australia is included in the list of third countries from which imports into the Community of milk and milk products are allowed. Imports of milk and milk products from Australia are limited to products that have undergone a pasteurisation or sterilisation process. Australia has requested to be authorised to export also raw milk and raw-milk based products for human consumption.
(3) The treatments provided for in Decision 2004/438/EC are applied to milk and milk products in order to protect the animal health status of the Community. In the light of the animal health situation in Australia, and in particular its foot-and-mouth disease free status from 1872 when the last outbreak was detected, imports of those products from that third country should be authorised as they do not represent an animal health risk.
(4) The entry for Australia for raw milk and raw-milk based products in column A of the list in Annex I to Decision 2004/438/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) Serbia has requested to be included in the list of third countries from which imports into the Community of heat-treated milk and milk-based products for human consumption are authorised, so that the transit is allowed of such products through the territory of the Community, with the final destinations in other third countries.
(6) General Commission animal health audits have been carried out in Serbia, most recently in June 2007, which demonstrate that the competent authorities can give appropriate guarantees that the animal health situation in that country can be considered satisfactory.
(7) Accordingly heat-treated milk and milk-based products from that third country should be authorised concerning animal health aspects.
(8) A further mission to fully assess the public health aspects will have to be carried out before the establishments can be listed for imports into the Community, however in the mean time transit of such products should be authorised.
(9) The entries for Serbia for heat-treated milk and milk-based products for human consumption should be therefore added in columns B and C of the list in Annex I.
(10) In addition, it is appropriate to update a footnote in that Annex for Switzerland in order to refer to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products.
(11) Annex I to Decision 2004/438/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2004/438/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 May 2008.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2086/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3670/90 (4), opened a tendering procedure for the sale for delivery in the French overseas departments of cereals held by the French intervention agency;
Whereas it is necessary to defer the final partial invitation to tender provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2086/90; whereas in order to meet specific local requirements the total volume to be sold by tender by the French intervention agency should be raised to 128 000 tonnes;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3300/94 of 21 December 1994 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector following the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Norway, Austria, Finland and Sweden, hereinafter referred to as the 'Act', and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Whereas the Act and therefore the Community rules introduced for the production and trade in agricultural products apply from 1 January 1995; whereas, accordingly, the production arrangements laid down in particular in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by the Act (2), will not be applicable until that date, that is to say during the course of the 1994/95 marketing year; whereas transitional measures within the meaning of Article 149 (1) of the Act are required in order to enable Austria, Finland and Sweden to change over, from 1 January 1995 from the production arrangements in force in Austria, Finland and Sweden to those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81;
Whereas in order to ensure the best possible application of the production and self-financing arrangements particular to the sugar sector, the conditions applicable to the quantities likely to form part of the normal carry-over stocks should be determined from the moment the accession of the new Member States takes place;
Whereas, for the 1994/95 marketing year, the entire sugar output of Austria, Finland and Sweden was produced under national arrangements and much of the sugar they produced was disposed of before 1 January 1995; whereas, accordingly, retroactive action on delivery contracts concluded in respect of that production between sugar beet or cane producers and sugar manufacturers must be ruled out; whereas there are grounds therefore, for not applying the provisions on self-financing laid down in Articles 28 and 28a of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 to sugar produced before 1 July 1995; whereas, in the case of the production of isoglucose in Finland, the normal carry-over stocks as at 1 January 1995 are not very large, since production tends to be steady and in keeping with demand; whereas, for the purposes of ensuring the same treatment for isoglucose and sugar, the said Articles 28 and 28a should not apply to isoglucose produced before 1 July 1995, the date on which the new 1995/96 marketing year begins;
Whereas, for the period 1 January to 30 June 1995, Austria, Finland and Sweden have already produced their sugar in respect of the quotas for the 1994/95 marketing year and whereas demand during that period must be met from normal carry-over stocks; whereas, in the case of isoglucose production, taking into account the characteristics described above and in order to avoid jeopardizing one of the main objectives of the quota system, namely achieving a certain balance in the Community between production and outlets, provision should be made for satisfying demand in Austria, Finland and Sweden during the period 1 January to 30 June 1995 on the basis of the quantities produced during that period; whereas the basic quantities of A and B isoglucose applicable in Finland during the period from 1 January to 30 June 1995 should be limited to the quantities corresponding to the share of the Community's average recorded production before accession during the months between January and June, reference being made to the basic annual quantities for Finland;
Whereas the non-application of the self-financing arrangements covered by Articles 28 and 28a of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 to sugar and isoglucose in respect of production during the period from 1 January to 30 June 1995 in Austria, Finland and Sweden means that the export refund arrangements referred to in Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 and the production refund arangements referred to in Article 9 (3) of that same Regulation should not apply to sugar and isoglucose in the said Member States during that period;
Whereas Article 16a (2a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 lays down that a specified quantity of raw sugar may be imported at a reduced levy into Finland; whereas it is necessary to specify the relevant conditions of application and in particular those relating to the granting of an adjustment aid to the refining industry in Finland corresponding to the aid arrangements foreseen for Portugal;
Whereas pursuant to Article 145 (2) of the Act, normal carry-over stocks shall be defined for each product on the basis of criteria and objectives peculiar to each common market organization; whereas the stock of sugar and isoglucose in free circulation in Austria, Finland and Sweden on 1 January 1995 should accordingly be determined in the case of the sugar sector, together with the normal carry-over stock and the conditions for the elimination by those Member States of the quantities exceeding the said normal carry-over stock;
Whereas provision should accordingly be made for these Member States to undertake a survey; whereas, to this end, the rules laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 431/68 of 9 April 1968 determining the standard quality for raw sugar and fixing the Comminiy frontier crossing point for calculating cif prices for sugar (3) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 of 8 June 1982 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 392/94 (5), should be applied for the conversion of the various types of sugar into white sugar;
Whereas, to determine the quantities of sugar and isoglucose to be eliminated from the market the normal carry-over stock considered necessary, should be defined for each of these products allowing for consumption, production, traditional exports and operating stocks for refineries; whereas the granting of the reimbursement of storage costs for the quantities of sugar in normal carry-over stocks is justified to the extent that the storage levy is incurred from 1 January 1995 in accordance with
Article 12
of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 of 18 August 1978 laying down detailed rules for the offsetting of storage costs for sugar (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1758/93 (7);
Whereas, in view of the features of the markets for sugar and isoglucose which overall are in surplus, the disposal of quantities in excess of normal carry-over stocks must be carried out under certain conditions by export outside the Community either in the natural state or in the form of processed products in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of 30 May 1994 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2296/94 (9); whereas, to that end, certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advanced fixing certificates for agricultural products (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2746/94 (11), should be referred to as regards evidence for export;
Whereas quantities in excess of the normal carry-over stock in question which have not been exported before the date laid down and therefore have not been eliminated from the market must be considered as being disposed of on the Community internal market and being imported from third countries; whereas, under these conditions, provision should rightly be made for levying an amount equal to the import levy for the product in question in force on the final day of the time limit laid down for export; whereas the agricultural rate aplicable on the date should be used to convert that amount into national currency;
Whereas Austria, Finland and Sweden are each responsible for elimininating their respective quantities in excess of the normal carry-over stock under Article 145 (2) of the Act; whereas it is thus for those Member States to ensure that the quantities in question are indeed exported outside the Community and it is their responsibility therefore to take all necessary measures for that end;
Whereas, for good management of the markets for sugar, provision must be made for the new Member States to provide notification of the level of their recorded stocks and of quantities considered as being disposed of on the internal market;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1156/93 of 12 May 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application in the pigmeat sector of the Bilateral Agreements on agriculture between the Community, of the one part, and Austria and Finland, of the other part
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1108/93 of 4 May 1993 laying down certain provisions for the application of the Bilateral Agreements on agriculture between the Community, of the one part, and Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, of the other part, (1) and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas, by Decision 93/239/EEC (2), the Council approved the Bilateral Agreements with Austria and Finland; whereas those Agreements were concluded on 17 March 1993 with the intention that the provisions of the Bilateral Agreements on agriculture concluded on 2 May 1992 in Oporto should apply already from 15 April 1993;
Whereas the Bilateral Agreements on agriculture provide for a reduction of import levy for certain products in the pigmeat sector, limited to certain quantities; whereas, in order to ensure the regularity of imports, it is important to spread the aforesaid quantities over the period concerned;
Whereas the quantities concerned should be reduced pro rata temporis to take account of the effective period of application of the quotas in 1993;
Whereas, while recalling the provisions of the Agreements intended to guarantee the origin of the product, it would be appropriate to assure the management of the regime through import licences; whereas, with that in mind, it would be appropriate to define, in particular, the procedure by which applications must be presented, as well as the particulars which must appear on applications for licences in derogation from Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import or export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2101/92 (4); whereas it is appropriate moreover to take measures so that the licences are issued after a delay for reflection and applying, should the occasion arise, a single percentage reduction;
Whereas, in order to assure efficient management of the regime, it is appropriate to provide that the security in respect of import licences under the said regime should be fixed at ECU 30 per 100 kg; whereas the risk of speculation inherent to the regime in question in the pigmeat sector requires that access of operators to the said regime be subject to compliance with certain precise conditions, in particular as regards restricting the number of operators who may apply for licences, bearing in mind the limited quantities of products available under the regime, in particular regarding restricting the number of operators who may apply for licences, bearing in mind the limited quantities of products available under the regime;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
All imports into the Community under the arrangements provided for in Annexes IV and II to the Bilateral Agreements on agriculture concluded on 2 May 1992 in Oporto between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria and the Republic of Finland respectively of products belonging to Groups A1, A2, A3, F1, F2 and F3 provided for in Annex I shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
The quantities of products benefiting from the said arrangement are laid down for each group in Annex I.
The quantities fixed for Groups A1, A2, A3, F1, F2 and F3 shall be staggered over the period 15 April to 31 December 1993 as follows:
- for the period 15 April to 30 June:
- 42 tonnes per group for Groups A1, A2 and A3,
- 417 tonnes for Group F1,
- 208 tonnes per group for Groups F2 and F3;
- for the period 1 July to 30 September:
- 50 tonnes per group for Groups A1, A2 and A3,
- 500 tonnes for Group F1,
- 250 tonnes per group for Groups F2 and F3;
- for the period 1 October to 31 December:
- 50 tonnes per group for Groups A1, A2 and A3,
- 500 tonnes for Group F1,
- 250 tonnes per group for Groups F2 and F3.
The import licences mentioned in Article 1 shall be subject to the following rules:
(a) applicants for import licences musts be natural or legal persons who, at the time applications are submitted, can prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities in the Member States that they have been active in the pigmeat sector for at least the preceding 12 months. However, retail establishments or restaurants selling their products to final consumers are excluded from the benefits of this regime;
(b) the licence application may only relate to one of the group numbers provided for in Annex I to this Regulation. The application may relate to several products covered by different CN codes and originating in one of the two countries covered by this Regulation. In such cases, all the CN codes must be indicated in Section 16 and their descriptions in Section 15.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1221/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on quarterly non-financial accounts for general government(1), and in particular Article 5(2) and Article 6(2) thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by France on 24 September 2002,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community(2) (ESA 95), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1889/2002(3), 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) The objective of Regulation (EC) No 1221/2002 is to establish simplified quarterly non-financial accounts, whose contents are defined on the basis of a list of ESA 95 categories, for the general government sector.
(3) Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1221/2002 provides that, in so far as national statistical systems require major adaptations, the Commission may grant a derogation, not exceeding one year, concerning the date of the first transmission of quarterly data from the first quarter of 2002 onwards.
(4) In addition, Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1221/2002 provides that, in so far as national statistical systems require major adaptations, with regard to the transmission of backdata, the Commission may grant a derogation, not exceeding one year, concerning the date of the first transmission of quarterly data from the first quarter of 1999 onwards.
(5) In a letter dated 24 September 2002, the French authorities asked to be granted a one-year derogation to bring their national statistical system into conformity with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1221/2002.
(6) The French authorities base their request on the fact that, for the moment, the French statistical system is not capable of producing reasonably reliable data in this area. However, they have stated that they are in the process of carrying out major work and putting into place working structures which will enable them to submit satisfactory data in one year's time.
(7) The request by France should therefore be granted until 30 June 2003,
Pursuant to Article 5(2) and Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1221/2002, France is granted a derogation until 30 June 2003 at the latest to bring its national statistical system into conformity with the said Regulation.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), as last amended by Directive 93/3/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Finland,
Whereas the Commission, by Decision 93/231/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 95/21/EC (4) has authorized, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of the territory of certain Member States, more stringent measures against certain diseases than are provided for in Annexes I and II to Directive 66/403/EEC;
Whereas, from a comparison of the measures taken by Finland in relation to certain areas in respect of their home production of seed potatoes and the Community grades of basic seed potatoes, it can be assumed that:
- 'EC grade 1` satisfies more stringent conditions,
- 'EC grade 2` is equivalent to home production intended for seed potatoes,
and
- 'EC grade 3` is equivalent to home production intended for potato production;
Whereas Finland, for certain parts of its territory, should therefore be authorized to restrict the marketing of seed potatoes only to the Community's basic potato grades established by Commission Directive 93/17/EEC (5);
Whereas such authorization is in accordance with Member States obligations under the common rules on plant health laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC (6), as last amended by Directive 94/13/EC (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
