Whereas:
(1) Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 requires masters of Community fishing vessels whose overall length is equal to or more than 10 metres to keep a logbook. The fishing vessels to which this requirement applies should therefore be clearly specified in Annexes IV and V to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for recording Member States' catches of fish(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2737/1999(4).
(2) Annex VIIIa to Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 lists the radio stations through which Community fishing vessels transmit certain messages.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 449/2005
of 18 March 2005
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 as regards the term of validity of export licences in the milk and milk products sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(14) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products (2) lays down the term of validity of export licences.
(2) The Russian Federation has imposed new requirements on the approval of dairy processing establishments exporting to Russia in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as the new Member States).
(3) Despite the control of dairy establishment carried out by the Russian veterinary authorities during last months, the Russian authorities have not yet provided the competent authorities of the new Member States with the list of approved establishments.
(4) Many operators, expecting the dairy establishments to be approved since they meet the requirements of Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products (3), have not ceased to apply on a continuous base for export licences to maintain their normal trade pattern towards Russia. However, they will not be able to use these licences before their term of validity.
(5) New Russian certification conditions require community exporters to have as from 1 January 2005 at the latest pre-export certificates to prove veterinary and sanitary compliance of animal and animal products, originating from a Member State other than the exporting Member State, contained in the final product.
(6) Since the set up of a new administrative system and the establishment of appropriate procedures between the Member States in respect of the issue and the exchange of those pre-export certificates needs time and the system is not fully operational in all Member States, some exporters will not be able to use export licences expiring on 31 January 2005, by lack of those pre-export certificates.
(7) It is appropriate, in these circumstances, to provide for an extension of the term of validity of the export licences issued in July, August, September, October and November 2004.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
By way of derogation from Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, export licences with advance fixing of the refund, with destination Russia, which have been issued in the months of July, August, September, October and November 2004, in respect of the products referred to in points (a) to (d) of that Article, shall be valid until 30 April 2005.
On request of the holder, the term of validity of licences as provided for in Article 1 is adjusted by the competent authorities of the Member States.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
shall apply from 1 July 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2087/2003
of 27 November 2003
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to that Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(4), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(6) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(5), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(6), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(7), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(8), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(9) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(10) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or the Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(7) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(11), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary shall not be eligible for export refunds.
(8) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/2003 of 27 October 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Malta and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Malta(12) with effect from 1 November 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Malta, are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 November 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

(2) Studies, impact assessments as well as systematic and timely evaluations of expenditure programmes in the areas of food safety, animal health and welfare and zootechnics are essential in order to carry out those measures and will also support the actions identified in the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010.
(3) All individual tasks are subject to specific contracts under an evaluation framework contract for which a call for tender was launched in 2004. Those specific contracts are to be signed between the Commission and the selected contractor as defined in the framework contract.
(4) Studies, impact assessments and evaluations covering the areas of food safety, animal health and welfare and zootechnics are to form part of the further development of Community veterinary legislation and the development of veterinary education or training and will also support the actions identified in the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-2010.
(5) It is therefore appropriate for the Community to fund for the year 2007, studies, impact assessments and evaluations, covering the areas of food safety, animal health and welfare and zootechnics. The maximum amount to be allocated to these actions should be specified.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The actions referred to in the Annex are approved and shall be financed through the budget line 17 04 02 01 of the budget of the European Communities for 2007 up to a maximum of EUR 700 000.

Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2772/75, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1831/84 (5), the indication of the packing week number on egg packs has been replaced by that of the packing period; whereas small packs may, pursuant to the same Regulation, bear certain indications; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3341/84 introduced such a possibility in the case of large packs; whereas, therefore, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1295/70 (6) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas in order to cover operators who, despite the absence of implementing rules, have already taken the necessary technical action to comply with the new marketing standards for eggs introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1831/84 retroactive application of the present Regulation should be permitted,

(3) In the absence of a waiver from the Union’s obligations under paragraph 1 of Article I and Article XIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, to the extent necessary, the treatment provided by these autonomous trade preferences would need to be extended to all other Members of the WTO.
(4) It is in the interest of the Union to request an extension of the WTO waiver on autonomous trade preferences granted by the Union to Moldova pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article IX of the WTO Agreement to permit the Union to afford duty-free or preferential treatment to products originating in Moldova, including certain agricultural products for which limited concessions are given as defined in the Annex to this Decision, without being required to extend the same duty-free or preferential treatment to like products of any other WTO Member until 31 December 2015.
(5) The Union is to submit such a request to the WTO.
(6) It is appropriate, therefore, to establish the position to be taken by the Union within the WTO General Council concerning the request,
The position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the General Council of the World Trade Organization is to request an extension, until 31 December 2015, of the WTO waiver on autonomous trade preferences granted by the Union to Moldova to products originating in Moldova, including certain agricultural products for which limited concessions, as set out in the Annex, are given.
This position shall be expressed by the Commission.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its adoption.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 26 April 2012
authorising Romania to apply measures derogating from Article 26(1)(a) and Article 168 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2012/232/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letter registered with the Commission on 27 September 2011, Romania requested authorisation to introduce special measures concerning certain motorised road vehicles derogating from those provisions laid down in Directive 2006/112/EC which govern a taxable person’s right to deduct VAT paid on the purchase of goods and services and those which require tax to be accounted for on business assets used for non-business purposes.
(2) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, by letter dated 1 December 2011, the Commission informed the other Member States of the request made by Romania. By letter dated 5 December 2011, the Commission notified Romania that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.
(3) Article 168 of Directive 2006/112/EC establishes a taxable person’s right to deduct VAT charged on supplies of goods and services received by him for the purposes of his taxed transactions. Point (a) of Article 26(1) of that Directive contains a requirement to account for VAT when a business asset is put to use for the private purposes of the taxable person or his staff or, more generally, for purposes other than those of his business.
(4) The non-business use of vehicles is difficult to identify accurately and even where it is possible, the mechanism for doing so is often burdensome. Under the requested measures, the amount of VAT on expenditure eligible for deduction concerning motorised road vehicles which are not used exclusively for business purposes should, with some exceptions, be set at a flat percentage rate. Based on currently available information, Romania believes that a rate of 50 % is justifiable. At the same time, to avoid double taxation, the requirement for accounting for VAT on the non-business use of a motorised road vehicle should be suspended where it has been subject to this restriction. These measures can be justified by the need to simplify the procedure for charging VAT and to prevent evasion through incorrect record-keeping and false tax declaration.
(5) The restriction on the right of deduction under the special measures should apply to VAT paid on the purchase, intra-Community acquisition, importation, hire or leasing of specified motorised road vehicles and on expenditure related thereto, including the purchase of fuel.
(6) Certain types of motorised road vehicles should be excluded from the scope of the special measures since, due to their nature or the type of business they are used for, any non-business use thereof is considered to be negligible. Therefore, the special measures should not apply to vehicles with more than nine seats including the driver’s, or with a maximum permissible laden mass of more than 3 500 kilograms. In addition, a detailed list of specific types of vehicles excluded from that restriction should be provided, based on their particular use.
(7) These derogating measures should be limited in time to allow for an evaluation of their effectiveness and of the appropriate percentage, since the proposed percentage is based on initial findings regarding business use.
(8) Where Romania considers an extension of the derogating measures is necessary, a report on the application of the measures in question, which includes a review of the percentage applied, should be submitted to the Commission together with the request for an extension in a timely manner.
(9) On 29 October 2004, the Commission adopted a proposal (2) for a Council Directive amending Directive 77/388/EEC, now Directive 2006/112/EC, that includes the harmonisation of the categories of expenses for which exclusions from the right of deduction may apply. Under that proposal, exclusions from the right to deduct could be applied to motorised road vehicles. The derogating measures provided for in this Decision should expire on the date of the entry into force of such an amending Directive, if that date is earlier than the date of expiry provided for in this Decision.
(10) The derogation will have only a negligible effect on the overall amount of tax revenue collected at the stage of final consumption and will have no impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from value added tax,
By way of derogation from Article 168 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Romania is hereby authorised to limit to 50 % the right to deduct the VAT on the purchase, intra-Community acquisition, importation, hire or leasing of motorised road vehicles as well as the VAT charged on expenditure related to those vehicles, where the vehicle is not used exclusively for business purposes.
The restriction set out in the first subparagraph shall not apply to motorised road vehicles with a maximum permissible laden mass of more than 3 500 kg or with more than nine seats including the driver’s seat.
The first subparagraph of Article 1 shall not apply to the following categories of motorised road vehicles:
(a) vehicles used exclusively for emergency services, for security, protection and courier services;
(b) vehicles used by sales agents and by purchasing agents;
(c) vehicles used for the transport of passengers for consideration, including taxi services;
(d) vehicles used for the supply of services for consideration, including hire or driving lessons provided by driving schools;
(e) vehicles used for hire or leasing;
(f) vehicles used as commodities for trading purposes.
By way of derogation from point (a) of Article 26(1) of Directive 2006/112/EC, Romania is authorised not to treat as a supply of services for consideration the private use by a taxable person or his staff or, more generally, for purposes other than those of his business, of a vehicle to which the restriction referred to in Article 1 of this Decision applies.
1. This Decision shall expire on the date of entry into force of Union rules determining the expenditure relating to motorised road vehicles that is not eligible for full deduction of VAT, or on 31 December 2014, whichever is the earlier.
2. Any request for the extension of the measures provided for in this Decision shall be submitted to the Commission by 31 March 2014.
Such request shall be accompanied by a report which includes a review of the percentage restriction applied on the right to deduct VAT on the basis of this Decision.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.
This Decision is addressed to Romania.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2252/2001(3), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the Applicant Countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2500/2001(5), a programme for agriculture and rural development was approved by Commission Decision C(2000) 3327 final on 17 November 2000 for the Slovak Republic.
(2) The Government of the Slovak Republic and the Commission, acting on behalf of the European Community, has signed on 26 March 2001 the Multiannual Financing Agreement laying down the technical, legal and administrative framework for the execution of the Sapard Programme.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 provides that the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 may be waived on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance; Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 provides for detailed rules for the carrying out of said analysis.
(4) The competent authority of the Slovak Republic has appointed a Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture for the implementation of measures "Investments in agricultural enterprises", "Improvement of processing and marketing of agricultural and fish products", "Diversification activities in rural areas, only investments not involving infrastructure", "Forestry" and "Land consolidation" as defined in the Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development that was approved by Decision C(2000) 3327 final for the Slovak Republic; the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance has been appointed for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme.
(5) On 25 January 2002 the Slovak authorities provided the revised list of eligible expenditure in conformity with Article 4(1), Section B of the Multiannual Financing Agreement; this did not give rise to objections by the Commission.
(6) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission has analysed the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance and has established that, for the implementation of the aforementioned measures, the Slovak Republic complies with the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 and of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, with the minimum conditions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999.
(7) In particular, the Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture has implemented the following key accreditation criteria satisfactorily: written procedures, segregation of duties, pre-project approval and pre-payment checks, payment procedures, accounting procedures, computer security, internal audit, and, where appropriate, public procurement provisions.
(8) The National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance has implemented the following criteria satisfactorily for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for the Slovak Republic: audit trail, treasury management, receipt of funds, disbursement to the Sapard Agency, computer security and internal audit.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and to confer on the Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and on the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance in the Slovak Republic the management of aid on a decentralised basis.
(10) However, since the verifications carried out by the Commission are based on an operational, but not operating, system, it is therefore appropriate to confer the management of the Sapard Programme on the Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and on the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance on a provisional basis.
(11) Full conferral of management of the Sapard Programme is only envisaged after further verifications in order to ensure that the system operates satisfactorily have been carried out and after any recommendations the Commission may issue, with regard to the conferral of management of aid on the Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and on the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance, have been implemented,
The requirement of ex-ante approval by the Commission of project selection and contracting by the Slovak Republic is hereby waived.
Management of the Sapard Programme is conferred on a provisional basis to:
1. the Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture of the Slovak Republic, Dobrovicova 12; SK-81 266 Bratislava, for the implementation of measures "Investments in agricultural enterprises", "Improvement of processing and marketing of agricultural and fish products", "Diversification activities in rural areas, only investments not involving infrastructure", "Forestry" and "Land consolidation" as defined in the Programme for Agricultural and Rural Development that was approved by Decision C(2000) 3327 final; and
2. the National Fund Department within the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic, Stefanovicova 5; SK-81 782 Bratislava, for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for the Slovak Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 7 April 1987
approving aid from France to the coalmining industry during 1987
(Only the French text is authentic)
(87/240/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),
Whereas:
I
The French Government informed the Commission by letter of 5 December 1986, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Decision 2064/86/ECSC, of financial measures which it intends to implement directly or indirectly for the benefit of current production by the coalmining industry during 1987.
The following of these measures are submitted for the approval of the Commission under the above Decision:
1.2 // // (in million FF) // - Aid to cover operating losses: // 2 860,0 // - Aid to the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches des Charbonnages de France (CERCHAR): // 110,0
The aid totalling FF 2 860 000 000 to cover operating losses will cover only part of the difference, for each tonne produced, between foreseeable average costs and the foreseeable average returns. The aid will cover 70 to 75 % of the anticipated operating losses and therefore complies with the conditions of Article 3 (1) of the Decision.
The aid to cover operating losses serves the purpose of preventing premature pit closures. A contribution is thereby made to solving the social and regional problems related to developments in the coal industry pursuant to the third indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision;
The French Government proposes to grant aid to CERCHAR for 1987 in order to provide support for technical research in the coalmining sector. The amount of this aid, which has been in existence for many years and was approved by the Commission as a general measure pursuant to Article 67 of the ECSC Treaty, is FF 110 000 000; whereas the conditions for the granting of this aid remain unchanged.
II
The following observations should be made on the compatibility of the proposed aid with the proper functioning of the common market:
- in view of the size of coal and coke stocks, no supply difficulties are likely to occur in 1987,
- deliveries of French coal to other Community countries are very small,
- price alignment agreements with respect to Community producers are unlikely to arise in 1987,
- French coal prices should not, in priciple, lead to indirect aid to industrial coal users in 1987.
Therefore, the aid proposed in 1987 for current production by the French coal industry is compatible with the proper functioning of the Common Market.
III
Pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the approved aid for current production is used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 3 to 6 of the Decision. Consequently, the Commission must be informed in particular of the amount of the payments and the manner in which they are apportioned,
France is hereby authorized to grant aid in the amount of FF 2 970 000 000 to the French coalmining industry from 1 January 1987 for the 1987 calendar year.
The total amount shall be made up of the following aids:
1. An amount not exceeding FF 2 860 000 000, in aid to cover operating losses;
2. An amount not exceeding FF 110 000 000 in aid to the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherche des Charbonnages de France (CERCHAR).
The French Government shall inform the Commission:
- by 30 June 1987 of the extent to which the amounts of aid laid down in this Decision are likely to change in view of the pattern of the aid payments in the first six months of 1987,
- by 30 June 1988 of the actual amounts of aid paid in 1987.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

of 19 November 2004
amending Regulation (EC) 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Portugal
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2001/376/EC of 18 April 2001 concerning measures made necessary by the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Portugal and implementing a date-based export scheme (4) prohibits the dispatch from Portugal of live bovine animals and certain products derived therefrom. That Decision replaced and repealed Commission Decision 98/653/EC (5) which was adopted because of the high bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) incidence rate and the lack of adequate management of that disease in Portugal at that time.
(2) The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) recognised three major issues for considering the risk of BSE. First, the risk of human exposure arising from the direct consumption of potentially infective material; secondly, the risk to man from ingesting or being exposed to processed, potentially infective material; and thirdly, the risk of propagating the infection by recycling the infective material through animal feed. The International Animal Health Organisation (OIE) has also proposed that the assessment of the risk to human and animal health in countries be based on a combination of the spread of BSE and the application of measures to control the risk.
(3) At its general session in May 2003, the OIE amended the Animal Health Code Chapter on BSE and altered the criteria defining the limit between moderate-risk and high-risk countries. The limit is now set at a BSE incidence rate calculated over the previous 12 months of 200 cases per million animals within the cattle population over 24 months of age, for countries carrying out active surveillance.
(4) In Portugal, 103 cases of BSE were notified between 1 September 2003 and 31 August 2004. Accordingly, that results in a BSE incidence rate calculated over the previous 12 months of 131,7. In addition, the results of the active monitoring and passive surveillance indicate that the BSE incidence rate is decreasing in that Member State.
(5) Therefore, the BSE incidence rate is below the upper limit for a moderate BSE risk country as set out in the OIE Animal Health Code. The favourable evolution of the BSE incidence rate indicates the effectiveness of the measures taken by Portugal.
(6) A ban on the feeding of mammalian protein to farmed animals and of mammalian fat to ruminants was introduced in Portugal on 4 December 1998. At the same time the keeping, storage and marketing of mammalian protein and certain fats was prohibited and the recall of existing stocks was organised.
(7) A mission carried out in Portugal by the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) in June 1999 concluded that the recall of those existing stocks was completed and that the controls on the effectiveness of the feed ban were applied properly. The ban was considered to be effective from 1 July 1999.
(8) A ban on the use of specified risk materials in human food or animal feed was introduced in Portugal on 4 December 1998. That ban was extended in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(9) A centralised national system for the identification and registration of bovine animals was introduced in Portugal as of 1 July 1999.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides for measures targeting all animal and public health risks resulting from all animal TSE, and governing the entire chain of production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin. In particular, it lays down rules at Community level on the systematic monitoring of BSE, the removal of specified risk materials and on prohibitions concerning animal feeding.
(11) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 has been applied from 1 July 2001. Several FVO missions in Portugal have evaluated the implementation of the measures laid down in that Regulation which are aimed at the eradication, control and prevention of TSEs.
(12) A mission by the FVO in February 2004 showed that Portugal had taken all the necessary actions and addressed satisfactorily all the recommendations as regards the implementation of the protection measures against BSE laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, and in particular those related to BSE surveillance, removal of specified risk materials and to the feed ban.
(13) The three major issues for considering the risk of BSE: first, the risk of human exposure arising from the direct consumption of potentially infective material; secondly, the risk to man from ingesting or being exposed to processed, potentially infective material; and, thirdly, the risk of propagating the infection by recycling the infective material through animal feed, as recognised by the SSC; now appear to be adequately managed by Portugal.
(14) Accordingly, it is appropriate to repeal Decision 2001/376/EC.
(15) Under Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, the vertebral column of bovine animals over the age of 12 months is considered as specified risk material. Portugal benefits from a derogation allowing the use of vertebral column derived from bovine animals under the age of 30 months. In addition, that Regulation establishes for Portugal an extended list of specified risk material.
(16) In the interests of harmonisation of trade, the age limit for the removal of the vertebral column of bovine animals and the list of specified risk materials applicable in the other Member States should also apply in Portugal. Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should be amended accordingly.
(17) In the interest of clarity and coherence of Community legislation, Commission Decision 2000/345/EC of 22 May 2000 setting the date on which dispatch from Portugal to Germany of certain products for the purpose of incineration may commence by virtue of Article 3(6) of Decision 98/653/EC (6), Commission Decision 2000/371/EC of 6 June 2000 setting the date on which dispatch of fighting bulls from Portugal to France may commence by virtue of Article 3(7) of Decision 98/653/EC (7), and Commission Decision 2000/372/EC of 6 June 2000 setting the date on which dispatch of fighting bulls from Portugal to Spain may commence by virtue of Article 3(7) of Decision 98/653/EC (8), should be repealed.
(18) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Decisions 2000/345/EC, 2000/371/EC, 2000/372/EC and 2001/376/EC are repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1772/96 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1170/97 (4), fixes the forecast supply balance for seed potatoes and the level of aid for their supply from the rest of the Community to the French overseas departments for the 1997/98 marketing year; whereas, to take account of the French request to fix, for administrative reasons, the forecast supply balance for the first half of the 1998/99 marketing year only, that forecast supply balance should be fixed for the first half of the 1998/99 marketing year; whereas the balance must be fixed on the basis of needs;
Whereas, for the purpose of applying Article 2(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, the level of aid for the supply of seed potatoes from the rest of the Community to the French overseas departments should be fixed for the 1997/98 marketing year to ensure that potatoes are supplied under conditions equivalent for the end user to exemption from import duties on seed potatoes from third countries; whereas that aid should be fixed taking account, inter alia, of the cost of supply from the world market;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in October 1999 Greece received an application from Nisso Chemical Europe GmbH for the inclusion of the active substance acetamiprid (former name: Exp 60707B) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2000/390/EC(2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to the Directive.
(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods up to three years, for plant protection products containing acetamiprid, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by the Directive.
(3) For acetamiprid, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 21 March 2001.
(4) The examination of the dossier is still ongoing after submission of the draft assessment reports by the rapporteur Member State and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe foreseen by Council Directive 91/414/EEC.
(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing acetamiprid for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for acetamiprid will have been completed within 24 months.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing acetamiprid for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

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

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2222/96 of 18 November 1996, amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, on the Community market for veal, traditionally most carcases have been sold at a weight above 120 kilograms; whereas in order to get access to the early marketing premium provided for in Article 4 (i) (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2222/96, and in Section 2 of Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1244/82 and (EEC) No 714/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 18/97 (4), veal carcases produced in some Member States will have to be sold at a weight below 120 kilograms; whereas due to this unusual presentation of the veal product on the market temporary difficulties may be anticipated leading to relatively higher costs of disposal for such light carcases; whereas on that background and in order for the early marketing premium to have the desired effect on the beef market a supplementary amount should be granted on those carcases as a transitional measure in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2222/96; whereas in that framework it is appropriate to provide for a differentiation of the supplement with reference to certain weight groups; whereas regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the above mentioned measures should in a decreasing manner apply until the end of 1997;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 50 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92:
'However, the two amounts of premium referred to in the first subparagraph are increased:
(a) for animals slaughtered between 20 January and 30 June 1997, by ECU 10 per carcase weighing 110 kilograms or less and by ECU 5 per carcase weighing more than 110 kilograms but no more than 120 kilograms;
(b) for animals slaughtered between 1 July and 31 December 1997, ECU 5 per carcase weighing 110 kilograms or less and by ECU 2,5 per carcase weighing more than 110 kilograms but no more than 120 kilograms.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade 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 within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 156/2002(4), the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(7), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 February 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Directive 2003/107/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 5 December 2003
amending Council Directive 96/16/EC on statistical surveys of milk and milk products
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty(1),
Whereas:
(1) The purpose of Council Directive 96/16/EC(2) is to provide reliable and comparable data on milk production and use and reliable, regular, short-term information on milk deliveries to undertakings which treat or process milk and on the production of milk products in the Member States.
(2) In view of the growing economic importance of the protein content of milk, it is becoming increasingly necessary to have statistical information on the protein content of the main milk products.
(3) Specialisation in agriculture is increasing in general, and the milk sector, in particular, is currently undergoing regional specialisation which gives rise to enormous differences between the regions of a single Member State, requiring detailed information at regional level.
(4) To guarantee comparability of results, methodological reports need to be compiled according to a standard format,
Council Directive 96/16/EC shall be amended as follows:
1. Article 4 shall be amended as follows:
(a) the following shall be added to paragraph 1(b):
"(iv) the protein content of the main milk products, based on the measuring or estimating method most likely to guarantee reliable data;
(v) the quantity of cows' milk produced by agricultural holdings on a regional basis (territorial unit NUTS 2) according to the most appropriate measuring or estimating method for guaranteeing the reliability of the data."
(b) paragraph 2 shall be deleted;
2. the last sentence of Article 5(2) shall be replaced by the following:"Member States shall notify the Commission annually of the methodological information relating to the information referred to in Article 4(1), using a standard questionnaire drawn up by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7.";
3. Article 6(3) shall be amended as follows:
(a) in point (b), the second indent shall be deleted;
(b) point (c) shall be replaced by the following:
"(c) in September of the year following the year of the reference date, the results referred to in point 2 of Article 1 and in points (b)(v) and (c) of Article 4(1)."
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 March 2004. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1351/2003
of 30 July 2003
establishing administrative procedures for the first tranche of the 2004 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 2(3) and (4), Article 6(3) and Articles 13, 23 and 24 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 427/2003(4), introduced annual quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China listed in Annex I to that Regulation. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas.
(2) The Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96(6), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. These provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
(3) Certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota year. It is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realisation of the planned imports. In order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the first tranche of the 2004 quotas should accordingly be adopted before the start of the quota year.
(4) After examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted. Under this method the quotas are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants.
(5) This has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows.
(6) The reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for traditional importers in the previous Regulation on the administration of these quotas cannot be updated. The years 2000 and 2001 were characterised by certain distortions, in particular a more than twofold increase of applications from one Member State, which resulted in substantially reduced individual quota allocations to all non-traditional importers in all Member States. In 2002, there was a significant increase in applications by non-traditional importers from United Kingdom companies to other Member States suggesting an effort to circumvent the related persons test. Also, investigations are ongoing into a number of 2002 and 2003 licence holders that may have breached the related persons test. The years 1998 or 1999 are therefore the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question. Traditional importers must, therefore, prove that they have imported products originating in China and covered by the quotas in question in the years 1998 or 1999.
(7) It has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers. Consequently, in accordance with Article 2(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
(8) The Commission considers it necessary that operators applying as non-traditional importers and falling under the definition of related persons within the meaning of Article 143 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 881/2003(8), may only submit a single licence application for each line of the quota set aside for non-traditional importers. In order to exclude speculative applications, the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume.
(9) It is appropriate to set the quota share reserved to traditional importers at 75 % and the share of non-traditional importers at 25 %.
(10) It also appears appropriate to transfer quantities not taken up by non-traditional importers to traditional importers, in order to ensure that these quantities can still be allocated in the year in which they were attributed.
(11) For the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and non-traditional importers.
(12) The Member States must inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94. The information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question.
(13) Given that on 1 May 2004 the European Union will be enlarged, it is appropriate to allocate the 2004 quota in two tranches, the first one from January to April 2004 to importers in the current Member States and the second one from May to December 2004 to importers in all countries that will be Member States from May 2004 onwards.
(14) These measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,
This Regulation lays down for 2004 specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 427/2003 amending Regulation (EC) No 519/94.
Given the enlargement of the European Union in May 2004, the 2004 quotas shall be allocated in two separate tranches. This Regulation shall allocate the quotas for January to April 2004.
Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation.
1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.
2. The portions of each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and non-traditional importers are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
3. (a) The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested. The volume requested by each applicant may not exceed that shown in Annex II.
(b) Operators that are deemed to be related persons as defined by Article 143 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 may only submit single licence application for the portion of the quota set aside for non-traditional importers regarding the goods described in the application. In addition to the statement required by Article 3(2)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 738/94, as amended by Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 983/96, the licence application for the non-traditional quota shall state that the applicant is not related to any other operator applying for the non-traditional quota line in question.
(c) Those proportions of the quantities reserved for non-traditional importers and not allocated will be added to the quantities reserved for traditional importers.
Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex III to this Regulation from the day following the day of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union until 15.00, Brussels time, 19 September 2003.
1. For the purposes of allocating the portion of each quota set aside for traditional importers, "traditional" importers shall mean operators who can show that they have imported goods in the calendar years 1998 or 1999.
2. The supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall relate to the release for free circulation during either calendar year 1998 or 1999, as indicated by the importer, of products originating in the People's Republic of China which are covered by the quota in respect of which the application is made.
3. Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national authorities on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during the calendar years 1998 or 1999 carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over.
Member States shall inform the Commission no later than 15 October 2003, 10.00, Brussels time, of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4(1) of this Regulation.
The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 15 November 2003.
Import licences shall be valid for one year, starting on 1 January 2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1785/93 of 30 June 1993 on the operative events for the agricultural conversion rates used in the fibre sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas the aid introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 845/72 of 24 April 1972 laying down special measures to encourage silkworm rearing (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2059/92 (3), is granted for boxes of eggs from which worms have successfully been reared; whereas, therefore, the event by which the economic objective has been attained can, on average, be deemed to have taken place on 1 August of each marketing year; whereas that date may therefore be taken as the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to aid for silkworms;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 876/75 of 3 April 1975 defining the event in which the aid in respect of flax and hemp and of silkworms becomes due and payable (4), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1426/86 of 14 May 1986 determining the operative event for private storage aid for flax and hemp fibres (5) and Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 of 3 May 1989 laying down rules implementing the system of aid cotton (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2328/92 (7), determine the operative events for the agricultural conversion rate on the basis of criteria and legal provisions which have been radically changed in the context of the new agrimonetary arrangements introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 on detailed rules for determining and applying the agricultural conversion rates (8) establishes operative events for the agricultural conversion rates, particularly those applicable to the amounts in question, on the basis of the new provisions;
Whereas Article 10 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 provides for operative events for the minimum price and the aid for cotton to be those actually specified in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89; whereas, however, it is appropriate to indicate the possibility of fixing the agricultural conversion rates for the aid in advance;
Whereas Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 provides for the agricultural conversion rate valid at the beginning of the marketing year to be used for aid per hectare for flax and hemp; whereas Article 10 (3) of that Regulation provides that the operative event for private storage aid for flax and hemp fibres is to be the first day of the contract for each lot concerned; whereas, therefore, Regulations (EEC) No 876/75 and (EEC) No 1426/86 can be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
The operative event giving rules to entitlement to aid for silkworms shall be deemed to take place on 1 August of the marketing year concerned.
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89:
'However, the agricultural conversion rate for the aid may be fixed in advance subject to conditions referred to in Articles 13 to 17 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (*).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2413/98 of 9 November 1998 on the rate of interest to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying in, storage and disposal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1259/96 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1644/89 (4), lays down that the uniform interest rate used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures is to correspond to the interest rates for the ecu for three months' and 12 months' forward rates recorded by the Statistical Office of the European Communities on the Euromarkets with a weighting of one-third and two-thirds respectively;
Whereas the Commission fixes this rate before the beginning of each EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting year on the basis of the rates recorded in the six months preceding fixing;
Whereas Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 lays down that if the rate of interest costs borne by a Member State is lower for at least six months than the uniform interest rate fixed for the Community a specific interest rate is to be fixed for that Member State; whereas the Member State notified these costs to the Commission before the end of the accounting year; whereas, where no costs are notified by a Member State, the rate to be applied is determined on the basis of the reference interest rates set out in the Annex to the said Regulation;
Whereas the interest rates for the 1999 accounting year must be set, in line with those provisions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
For expenditure incurred during the 1999 EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting year:
1. the interest rate referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 shall be 4,1 %;
2. the specific interest rate referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 411/88 shall be: 3,6 % for France, 3,5 % for Austria, and 3,9 % for Finland.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 October 1998.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1784/77 (2) specifies the stage at which certification must be carried out and lays down the conditions under which hop products may undergo further processing;
Whereas, in the former German Democratic Republic, the treatment of hops after harvest is traditionally different from that in other parts of the Community in the sense that, on numerous farms producing hops, cleaning and initial drying of cones is carried out at the same time as milling and pressing into granules, existing equipment not permitting separation of the two stages; whereas this procedure does not, however, conform to Community legislation, which lays down that certification must take place before any processing; whereas, to enable producers to spread their new investment over a suitable period, Regulation (EEC) No 1784/77 laid down a transitional period longer than that provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2239/91 of 26 July 1991 on transitional measures applicable in the hop sector after the unification of Germany (3), which expired on 31 December 1992; whereas, by 31 December 1995, the situation had not been regularized on certain farms; whereas therefore the said derogation should be extended by one year and the list of farms concerned should be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EEC) No 1784/77 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of Article 1 (3), '31 December 1995` shall be replaced by '31 December 1996`.
2. The Annex shall be replaced by the Annex set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
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 January 1996.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1258/2005
of 29 July 2005
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 20,850 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 93/29/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators for two- or three-wheel motor vehicles
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 100a thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992 relating to the type-approval of two- or three-wheel motor vehicles (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
In cooperation with the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured; whereas the measures required for that purpose need to be adopted;
Whereas, with regard to their controls, tell-tales and indicators, in each Member State two- or three-wheel motor vehicles must display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another; whereas, as a result of their differences, such provisions constitute a barrier to trade within the Community;
Whereas these obstacles to the operation of the internal market may be removed if the same requirements are adopted by all Member States in place of their national rules;
Whereas it is necessary to draw up harmonized requirements concerning the identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators for two- or three-wheel motor vehicles in order to enable the type-approval and component type-approval procedures laid down in Directive 92/61/EEC to be applied for each type of such vehicle;
Whereas, given the scale and impact of the action proposed in the sector in question, the Community measures covered by this Directive are necessary, indeed essential, to achieve the aim in view, which is to establish Community vehicle type-approval; whereas that aim cannot be adequately achieved by the Member States individually;
Whereas in order to facilitate access to the markets of non-Community countries it would seem necessary to establish equivalence between the requirements of this Directive and those of Regulation No 60 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe,
This Directive applies to the identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators for all types of vehicle as defined in Article 1 of Directive 92/61/EEC.
The procedure for the granting of component type-approval in respect of the identification of controls, telltales and indicators for a type of two- or three-wheel motor vehicle and the conditions governing the free movement of such vehicles shall be as laid down in Chapters II and III of Directive 92/61/EEC.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of Directive 92/61/EEC, equivalence between the requirements laid down in this Directive and those laid down in UN/ECE Regulation No 60 (E/ECE/TRANS/505 - Add. 59) is hereby acknowledged.
The authorities of the Member States which grant component type-approval shall accept approvals granted in accordance with the requirements of the abovementioned Regulation No 60 as well as component type-approval marks as an alternative to the corresponding approvals granted in accordance with the requirements of this Directive.
This Directive may be amended in accordance with Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC (5) in order to:
- take into account any amendments to the ECE Regulation referred to in Article 3,
- adapt the Annex to technical progress.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 14 December 1994. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When the Member States adopt these provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
From the date mentioned in the first subparagraph Member States may not, for reasons connected with the identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators, prohibit the initial entry into service of vehicles which conform to this Directive.
They shall apply the provisions referred to in the first subparagraph as from 14 June 1995.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Council Directive 83/417/EEC of 25 July 1983 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to certain lactoproteins (caseins and caseinates) included for human consumption (1) and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas under Article 9 of Directive 83/417/EEC, caseins and caseinates are required to be sampled according to Community procedures;
Whereas it is desirable to adopt an initial series of methods of sampling for chemical analysis in request of which studies are completed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The sampling requirements referred to in Article 9, paragraph (b) of Directive 83/417/EEC shall be those outlined in the Annex to the present Directive.
Member States shall take all necessary measures in order to comply with the present Directive by 15 January 1988 (2) at the latest. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

of 31 May 2001
determining, for the 2001 marketing year, the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of premium payable per ewe and per female goat and fixing the first advance payment for this premium and an advance payment of the specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1669/2000(2), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(4) and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(1) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 provides for the grant of a premium to compensate for any loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat and, in certain areas, of goatmeat. Those areas are defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999 of 21 December 1999 determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat is granted(5).
(2) Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers, the foreseeable loss of income should be estimated in the light of the foreseeable trend in market prices.
(3) Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the amount of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of that Article by a coefficient expressing the annual average production of heavy lamb meat per ewe producing these lambs expressed per 100 kg of carcase weight. The coefficient for 2001 has not yet been fixed in view of the lack of full Community statistics. Pending the fixing of that coefficient, a provisional coefficient should be used. Article 5(3) of that Regulation also fixes the amount per ewe for producers of light lambs and per female of the caprine species at 80 % of the premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs.
(4) Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the premium must be reduced by the impact on the basic price of the coefficient provided for in paragraph 2 of that Article. That coefficient is fixed by Article 13(4) at 7 %.
(5) In accordance with Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the half-yearly advance payment is fixed at 30 % of the expected premium. In accordance with Article 4(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93(6) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 394/2001(7), the advance payment is to be paid only if it is equal to or greater than EUR 1.
(6) Under Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 193/98(9), the Council instituted specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community. It lays down that the aid is to be granted under the same conditions as those for the grant of the premium for producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat. In view of the present uncertainty of the market situation in certain Member States, the Member States should be authorised, for the 2001 marketing year, to pay immediately an amount equal to 90 % of the aid.
(7) Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the application of specific measures relating to agricultural production in the Canary Islands. Those measures entail the grant of a supplement to the ewe premium payable to producers of light lambs and she-goats on the same conditions as those governing the grant of the premium referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98. Those conditions provide that Spain is authorised to pay an advance on the said supplementary premium.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
The difference, which is hereby estimated between the basic price, reduced by the impact of the coefficient laid down in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, and the foreseeable market price for 2001, is EUR 83,785 per 100 kg.
The estimated amount of the premium payable in respect of the 2001 marketing year shall be as follows:
- EUR 13,129 per ewe in case of producers of heavy lambs,
- EUR 10,503 per ewe in case of producers of light lambs,
- EUR 10,503 per she-goat in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999.
Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98, the first advance that the Member States are authorised to pay to producers shall be as follows:
- EUR 3,939 per ewe in case of producers of heavy lambs.
- EUR 3,151 per ewe in case of producers of light lambs.
- EUR 3,151 per she-goat in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999.
The advance of the specific aid which the Member States are authorised to pay to producers of sheepmeat and goatmeat in less-favoured areas pursuant to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1323/90, within the meaning of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/99(10), shall be as follows:
- EUR 5,977 per ewe in case of producers of heavy lambs,
- EUR 5,397 per ewe in case of producers of light lambs,
- EUR 5,379 per she-goat in the areas designated in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2738/1999.
Pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 the first advance on the supplementary premium for the 2001 marketing year for producers of light lambs and she-goats in the Canary Islands within the limits provided for in Article 1(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90(11) shall be EUR 1,386 per ewe and/or she-goat.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 18 February 2008
amending the scope of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 on imports of tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. MEASURES IN FORCE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 (2) (the original Regulation) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
2. PRESENT INVESTIGATION
2.1. Procedure
(2) The Commission received a request from CU Chemie Uetikon GmbH (‘the applicant’), an importer from Germany, for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The applicant alleged that the so-called D-(-) type is a distinct product from other types of tartaric acid, due to its specific molecular structure, which in turns determines specific chemical characteristics not shared by other types of the product concerned and should not be therefore subject to the abovementioned measures.
(3) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission, on 17 March 2007, initiated an investigation (3) according to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The investigation was limited in scope to the definition of the product covered by the measures in force.
(4) The Commission officially advised the applicant importer, the authorities of the exporting country and all parties known to be concerned, of the initiation of this review. Questionnaires were sent to Community producers, importers, users and exporting producers who cooperated in the investigation that led to the existing measures. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(5) Two questionnaire replies were received and one party was granted a hearing.
(6) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of assessing whether the scope of the measures should be amended and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:
— CU Chemie Uetikon GmbH, Lahr, Germany,
— Longchem Corporation, Hangzhou, China.
(7) The investigation period covered the period from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2006.
2.2. Product concerned
(8) The product concerned, as defined in the original Regulation, is tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently classifiable within CN code 2918 12 00. The product concerned is used in wine, in beverage and food additives, as a retardant in plaster and in numerous other products. It can be obtained either form the by-products of wine making, as is the case with all Community producers, or via chemical synthesis from petrochemical compounds, as is the case with all PRC exporting producers.
2.3. Findings
(9) Tartaric acid is a ‘chiral’ molecule, i.e. it exists in different geometric configurations. The ‘L-(+)’ and ‘D-(-)’ types (hereinafter ‘L’ and ‘D’ tartaric acid respectively), whose molecules are a mirror image of each other, are of particular relevance. Those types of tartaric acid are distinguished in widely accepted industry references such as Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) or European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (Einecs). They can be readily distinguished from one another through a test which measures the rotation of polarised light. The direction of rotation for ‘L’ tartaric acid is positive while that for ‘D’ tartaric acid is negative.
(10) The investigation which led to the measures in force focused on naturally-occurring tartaric acid. It was found that the product manufactured and sold by the Chinese producers had the same basic characteristics as the product of the Community industry, and was in competition with the latter for a majority of the abovementioned applications.
(11) ‘D’ tartaric acid, on the other hand, is not naturally-occurring and can only be obtained via chemical synthesis. This type of tartaric acid is not produced by the Community industry and it is not recognised in the Community as a food additive. Its known applications are in the pharmaceutical industry, in the production of certain auxiliary substances which are themselves used to produce the active ingredients of medicines. Either ‘L’ or ‘D’ tartaric acid can be used in this type of pharmaceutical applications, depending on the intended characteristics of the end product. However, the ‘D’ and ‘L’ types cannot be substituted for one another within any single application. These conclusions were confirmed by the fact that the applicant, a company producing auxiliary substances for the pharmaceutical industry, purchased and used both ‘L’ and ‘D’ tartaric acid in the manufacture of its products, rather than just using one (less expensive) type of tartaric acid.
(12) The investigation has also shown that the price of ‘D’ tartaric acid is 4 to 5 times higher than that of other types of tartaric acid, which is a result of the different production process used in its manufacture. This higher price restricts the market for ‘D’ tartaric acid to applications such as mentioned above, where other, less expensive types of tartaric acid cannot be used. As a result of those differences in application and costs, the size of the market for ‘D’ tartaric acid is estimated to be less than 1 % of the overall market for tartaric acid.
(13) In summary, the investigation has found that ‘D’ tartaric acid has substantially different physical and chemical characteristics from those of ‘L’ tartaric acid produced by the Community industry, meaning that the two types are not interchangeable and not competing in the Community market. Given those differences between ‘D’ tartaric acid and the product investigated, it is concluded that ‘D’ tartaric acid should not be covered by the product scope of the measures.
(14) The above conclusions were based on the characteristics of pure ‘D’ tartaric acid, and therefore do not apply to any mixtures of ‘D’ tartaric acid with other products.
(15) Interested parties were informed of the above conclusions.
(16) The Community industry, while not questioning the findings of the investigation, expressed its concern that exempting one product type could facilitate the circumvention of the measures.
(17) It is considered, however, that given the differences in prices and quantities involved, circumvention can promptly be detected through statistical data. Furthermore, ‘D’ tartaric acid can be easily distinguished from other types through an optical test as mentioned above.
(18) The Commission will monitor the import data of ‘D’ tartaric acid and the other types which are subject to measures. Should the quantities and/or prices of imports of ‘D’ tartaric acid into any Member State depart from the normal trend, the Commission will immediately alert the appropriate customs authorities.
3. RETROACTIVE APPLICATION
(19) Given the above, it is considered appropriate to amend the original Regulation to clarify the product definition and to exclude ‘D’ tartaric acid from the measures.
(20) Since the present review investigation is limited to the clarification of the product scope and since it was not intended this product type be covered by the original measures, in order to prevent any consequent prejudice to importers of the product, it is considered appropriate that the findings be applied from the date of the entry into force of the original Regulation, including any imports subject to provisional duties between 30 July 2005 and 28 January 2006. Moreover, in particular in view of the relatively recent entry into force of the original Regulation and of the expected limited number of requests for refunds, there is no overriding reason not to provide for such retroactive application.
(21) Consequently, for goods not covered by Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 as amended by this Regulation, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid or entered in the accounts pursuant to Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 in its initial version should be repaid or remitted.
(22) Repayment or remission must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable customs legislation.
(23) This review does not affect the date on which Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 of 18 January 2011 fixing for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters (2), lays down quotas for 2011.
(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 2011.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
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 2011 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1585/2004
of 9 September 2004
fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 September 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, as provided for in Article 13 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;
Whereas, in the case of articles of apparel and clothing accessories falling within subheading 39.07 B V ex d), originating in Hong Kong, the individual ceiling was fixed at 4 400 000 ECU; whereas, on 20 October 1987, imports of these products into the Community originating in Hong Kong reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Hong Kong,
As from 30 October 1987, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3924/86, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in Hong Kong:

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 Article 52(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).
(2) By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined France’s application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Mont d’Or/Vacherin du Haut-Doubs’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 828/2003 (4).

laying down detailed rules for exports of certain fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetable products to Estonia and amending Regulations (EC) Nos 1961/2001 and 1429/95
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 545/2002(2), and in particular Article 31(2) and Article 35(11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 453/2002(4), and in particular Article 11(2), Article 16(8) and Article 17(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(6), lays down that, when a differentiated refund applies for a specific third country, entitlement to the refund is acquired on importation into that third country. Articles 14, 15 and 16 of that Regulation lay down the conditions for the payment of the refund when a differentiated refund applies, and in particular the documents to be presented to furnish proof of the arrival of the product at destination.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 1148/2002(7) establishes concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and provides for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia. One of the concessions provided for is the abolition with effect from 1 July 2002 of refunds on exports to Estonia of Community products covered by the common organisations of the markets in fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables.
(3) To prevent that concession from leading to the application of the abovementioned Articles 14, 15 and 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 when refunds are granted on exports of the products in question to other third countries, Estonia has undertaken to ensure that only products not having qualified for refunds and coming directly from the Community are allowed to be imported into Estonia.
(4) To enable the Estonian authorities to carry out such checks, provision should be made for the obligation when importing the products in question to present to the Estonian authorities, on the one hand, a certified copy of the export licence, bearing specific indications guaranteeing that no export refund has been granted on the products referred to therein and, on the other, a certified copy of the export declaration bearing certain specific references to the export licence. The detailed rules on licence arrangements must be complementary to or derogate from those laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001.
(5) Account must also be taken of those special arrangements when applying the abovementioned provisions of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 so as not to impose unnecessary costs on exporters trading with third countries. To that end account should not be taken when determining the lowest rate of the refund of the fact that an export refund has not been fixed for Estonia. The detailed rules for the application of export refunds laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(9) for fresh fruit and vegetables and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95(10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2001(11), for processed fruit and vegetable products should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Lastly, action should be taken to cushion the impact of the abovementioned concessions on the use of licences issued before the entry into force of this Regulation for the grant of refunds on exports to Estonia where import operations could not be completed before 1 July 2002. Cancellation of those licences and reimbursement of the security in proportion to the quantities not used should be permitted.
(7) The exact determination of the products concerned requires reference to the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3846/87(12), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(13).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Meeting of Management Committees for fresh fruit and vegetables and for processed fruit and vegetables,
Exports to Estonia of the products listed in Annex I shall be subject to the presentation of the following documents to the competent Estonian authorities for each consignment:
(a) a certified copy of the export licence, hereinafter referred to as the "licence", issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 subject to Article 2 of this Regulation and

'5. From 1 January 1985, the five-yearly financial framework of financial assistance which may be charged to the Guidance Section of the Fund shall be decided on by the Council acting on a Commission proposal in accordance with the procedure laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 43 (2) of the Treaty. The part of the financial framework relating to appropriations intended to cover expenditure which is not compulsory under the Treaty or acts adopted pursuant thereto is to be regarded as indicative multiannual programming. The exact amount of appropriations to be entered shall be fixed annually through the budgetary procedure on the basis of the volume of expenditure to be financed under the common measures and special measures for that year.
The five-yearly financial framework may be increased by the Council acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 43 (2) of the Treaty for the common measures provided for in Article 6 (2) of this Regulation.
If the Council does not fix a new financial framework before the end of the current five-year period, the financial framework valid for the latter period, with any increase made under the preceding subparagraph, shall continue to apply for the following period.'

of 30 March 2000
amending Directive 77/388/EEC on the common system of value added tax - transitional provisions granted to the Republic of Austria and the Portuguese Republic
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 93 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Community,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Whereas:
(1) Point 2(e) of Part IX "Taxation" of Annex XV to the 1994 Act of Accession authorised the Republic of Austria to derogate from Article 28(2) of sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(3), (hereinafter referred to as the "sixth VAT Directive") and to apply a reduced rate to the letting of immovable property for residential use until 31 December 1998, provided that the rate was not lower than 10 %.
(2) Under Article 13(B)(b) of the sixth VAT Directive, the letting of immovable property for residential use in Austria has been exempt from VAT since 1 January 1999 without the right to deduct input tax. However, under Article 13(C)(a) of that Directive, Austria may allow taxpayers the right to opt for taxation. In that case, the normal VAT rate and the normal rules for the right to deduction apply.
(3) The Republic of Austria considers that the measure is still essential, mainly because the transitional VAT regime is still in force and the situation has not really changed since the negotiation of the 1994 Act of Accession.
(4) The Republic of Austria also considers that dispensing with the reduced rate of 10 % would inevitably lead to an increase in the price of immovable property rental for the final consumer.
(5) The Portuguese Republic applied a reduced rate of 8 % to restaurant services as at 1 January 1991. Under Article 28(2)(d) of the sixth VAT Directive, Portugal was permitted to continue applying that rate. However, after a comprehensive amendment of the rates and for political and budgetary reasons, restaurant services were made subject to the normal rate from 1992.
(6) The Portuguese Republic wishes to reintroduce a reduced rate on these services on the basis that maintaining the normal rate had adverse consequences, in particular job losses and an increase in undeclared employment, and that application of the normal rate increased the price of restaurant services for the final consumer.
(7) As the derogations in question concern supplies of services within a single Member State, the risk of distortion of competition can be considered non-existent.
(8) In these circumstances, return to the previous situation may be considered for both the Republic of Austria and the Portuguese Republic, provided that application of the derogations is limited to the transitional period referred to in Article 281 of the sixth VAT Directive. However, the Republic of Austria must take the necessary steps to ensure that the reduced rate has no adverse effects on the European Communities' own resources accruing from VAT, the basis of assessment for which must be reconstituted in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89(4),
The following points shall be added to Article 28(2) of the sixth VAT Directive:
"j) the Republic of Austria may apply one of the two reduced rates provided for in the third subparagraph of Article 12(3)(a) to the letting of immovable property for residential use, provided that the rate is not lower than 10 %;
k) the Portuguese Republic may apply one of the two reduced rates provided for in the third subparagraph of Article 12(3)(a) to restaurant services, provided that the rate is not lower than 12 %."
1. The Member States referred to in Article 1 shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When the Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods for making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
2. The Member States referred to in Article 1 shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 January 1999 until the end of the transitional period referred to in Article 281 of the sixth VAT Directive.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

- for other currencies a conversion rate based on the arithmetic mean of the spot market rate of the currency, recorded for a given period, against the Community currencies indicated in the preceding indent and of the aforesaid coefficient;
Whereas the preferential customs duty fixed for large-flowered roses originating in Morocco by Regulation (EEC) No 3552/88 was suspended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 53/89 (12);

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Whereas when Member States exercise the option of not applying, in certain regions, all or some of the measures provided for in Directive 72/159/EEC and Directive 72/160/EEC, they should do so only in those regions in which a major part of the agriculture has already attained the objective of comparable income or in which the areas hitherto exploited for agricultural purposes are intended for other uses;
Whereas the option of not applying all or some of the measures provided for by Directive 72/161/EEC must, on account of the close relationship of the latter with Directives 72/159/EEC and 72/160/EEC, be restricted to those regions in which Member States apply neither of these two Directives;
Whereas when Member States vary according to region the amount of the financial incentives provided for in Directive 72/159/EEC, it is essential that they take account of the amount of effort to modernize to be made by agriculture in the various regions and to this end, that they take into particular consideration the financial difficulties of the farms in regions where the average agricultural income is low and those difficulties arising from the disparity between the current agricultural income of these farms and the target income to be reached;
Whereas when Member States vary according to region the amount of the financial incentives provided for in Directive 72/160/EEC, it is essential that they take account of both the need to liberate lands in each region resulting from the amount of effort to modernize to be made by agriculture in the various regions and the necessity to re-establish an adequate balance between the different age categories of farmers;
Whereas when Member States vary according to region the meausres provided for in Directive 72/161/EEC on the provision of socio-economic guidance for and the acquisition of occupational skills by persons engaged in agriculture, it is essential that they take account of the amount of effort to be made by the various regions in order to attain the objectives of agricultural reform,
1. When Member States apply Article 1 (2), second indent, of Directive 72/159/EEC and Article 1 (2), second indent, of Directive 72/160/EEC, the regions concerned must comply with the condition that at least 75 % of the utilized agricultural area of the region operated by those for whom farming is their main occupation, is already situated in farms complying with the conditions of income laid down in Article 4 (1) of Directive 72/159/EEC. (1)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 9. (3)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 15.

(b) as regards the premium referred to in Article 2 (1) (b) of Directive 72/160/EEC, in regions where, for a reference period of at least one year, 70 % or more of the land released in application of that Directive has not been used, only under Article 5 (2) of the same Directive.
3. Article 1 (2), second indent, of Directive 72/159/EEC and Article 1 (2), second indent, of Directive 72/160/EEC, or only the former, may also be applied where following an official decision the region is no longer intended for agricultural purposes and where, for this reason, the question of improvement of agricultural structures ceases to be relevant.
When Article 1 (2), second indent, of Directive 72/159/EEC is applied under the conditions defined in subparagraph 1, the Member State concerned shall refrain from application of Article 14 (2) of that Directive.
4. Application of Article 1 (2), second indent, or of Article 5 (2), second indent, of Directive 72/161/EEC is limited to regions where Member States apply neither Directive 72/159/EEC nor Directive 72/160/EEC.
When Member States apply Article 1 (2), first indent of Directive 72/159/EEC, they shall take account of the amount of effort towards agricultural modernization to be carried out in the various regions, on account of, in particular: - the low level of agricultural income,
- a significant disparity between agricultural income and comparable income within the meaning of Article 4 (1) of Directive 72/159/EEC.
1. When Member States apply Article 1 (2), first indent of Directive 72/160/EEC, they shall take account of the need for land to be released resulting from the amount of effort towards agricultural modernization of the various regions. For this purpose, they shall give particular consideration to: - the low level of agricultural income, or
- the significant disparity between agricultural income and comparable income within the meaning of Article 4 (1) of Directive 72/159/EEC.
2. The differentiated fixing of the amounts according to regions shall apply to the measures provided for in Directive 72/160/EEC for the benefit of farmers over 65 years of age, or between 55 and 65 years of age, or under 55 years of age, or of all three of these groups, or of two of them.
Member States shall fix these amounts by taking into account the imbalances in the age group distribution of the agricultural population.
When Member States apply, Article 1 (2), first indent or Article 5 (2) of Directive 72/161/EEC, they shall place emphasis on action furthering the establishment and development of socio-economic guidance services or the asquisition of occupational skills by persons engaged in agruculture, for the benefit of regions which are characterized by: - the low level of agricultural income, or
