Council Regulation (EEC) No 2580/78
of 31 October 1978
extending the 1977/78 marketing year for olive oil, providing for special measures for this sector, and amending Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 as regards the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 129 on the value of the unit of account and the exchange rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy [1], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2543/73 [2], and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats [3], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 [4], and in particular Article 36 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 162/66/EEC of 27 October 1966 on trade in oils and fats between the Community and Greece [5], and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas pursuant to Article 4 (3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC the olive oil marketing year begins on 1 November of each year; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 amended the common organization of the market in olive oil from 1 November 1978 in several respects;
Whereas it is not possible to adopt in time all the provisions needed to implement the new arrangements; whereas the 1977/78 marketing year should therefore be extended for the period strictly necessary for the adoption of these provisions and the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 accordingly postponed;
Whereas, during the extended period, the situation which existed in October 1978 should be maintained;
Whereas pending the implementation of the new arrangements regarding the import levy, the possibility should be provided of maintaining during the extended period the system of fixing the levies by means of tendering, as provided for by Regulations (EEC) No 2843/76 [6] and (EEC) No 2844/76 [7], as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2361/77 [8];
Whereas Article 2a of Council Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 of 26 April 1977 on the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture [9], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 976/78 [10], provides inter alia that the new representative rates for the currencies of the Member States for olive oil should be applicable from the beginning of the 1978/79 marketing year;
Whereas the extension of the marketing year, by delaying the application of these new rates, might have detrimental consequences for producers; whereas, to remedy this defect, it should be provided that these rates should apply from 1 November 1978,
In the second subparagraph of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/78 the date "1 November 1978" shall be replaced by "1 January 1979".
By way of derogation from the third paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, for olive oil the 1977/78 marketing year shall finish on 31 December 1978 and the 1978/79 marketing year shall begin on 1 January 1979.
The monthly increases applicable for October 1978 shall remain in force during the period by which the 1977/78 marketing year is extended.
By way of derogation from Regulations No 136/66/EEC and No 162/66/EEC, the import levies for olive oil may, during the period by which the 1977/78 marketing year is extended, be fixed according to Regulations (EEC) No 2843/76 and (EEC) No 2844/76.
1. Article 2a (2) (g) of Regulation (EEC) No 878/77 shall be replaced by the following:
"(g) except as indicated under (h) and (i), for other products the marketing year for which has not yet commenced on the date of entry into force of this Regulation, from the beginning of the 1978/79 marketing year;"
.
2. The following point is added to Article 2a (2) of the abovementioned Regulation:
"(i) for olive oil, from 1 November 1978"
.
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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1501/94 of 27 June 1994 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on a number of agricultural products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production in the Community of the products specified in this Regulation is currently inadequate or non-existent; whereas producers thus cannot meet the needs of user industries in the Community;
Whereas in these cases, it is in the interest of the Community to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties totally;
Whereas the decision for the suspension of these autonomous duties should be taken by the Community;
Whereas, in view of the difficulty of assessing accurately short-term trends in the economic situation in the relevant sectors, suspension measures should be taken only temporarily by fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of Community production,
The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the table appearing in the Annex shall be suspended at the level indicated in respect of each of them.
These suspensions shall apply from 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1994.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 3597/84 of 18 December 1984 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for fresh or dried hazelnuts, shelled or not, falling within subheading ex 08.05 G of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey (1985)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3597/84
of 18 December 1984
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for fresh or dried hazelnuts, shelled or not, falling within subheading ex 08.05 G of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey (1985)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Annex to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3590/82 of 21 December 1982 on imports into the Community of agricultural products originating in Turkey (1) provides that fresh or dried hazelnuts, shelled or not, falling within subheading ex 08.05 G of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey are admitted on importation into the Community at zero duty, within the limit of a Community tariff quota of 25 000 tonnes; whereas the Community tariff quota concerned should therefore be opened for 1985;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 119 of the 1979 Act of Accession, the Community adopted Council Regulation (EEC) No 3555/80 of 16 December 1980 determining the arrangements to be applied with regard to imports into Greece originating in Algeria, Israel, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Syria, Tunisia or Turkey (2); whereas this Regulation therefore applies to the Community of Nine;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure equal and uninterrupted access for all Community importers to the abovementioned quota, and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for this quota to all imports of the products concerned into the Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas, having regard to the above principles, the Community nature of the quota can be respected by allocating the Community tariff quota among the Member States; whereas, in order to reflect most accurately the actual development of the market in the products in question, such allocation should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States, assessed by reference to both the statistics relating to imports of the said products from Turkey over a representative reference period and the economic outlook for the quota period concerned;
Whereas on the basis of the currently available statistical data imports of the product in question from Turkey into the Member States have developed as follows over the years 1981, 1982 and 1983; whereas they represent the following percentage of the total imports into the Community from Turkey:
1.2,3.4,5.6,7 // // 1981 // 1982 // 1983 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 // // // // // // // // Member States // Tonnes // % // Tonnes // % // Tonnes // % // // // // // // // // Benelux // 5 374 // 7,85 // 7 017 // 9,40 // 6 332 // 9,37 // Denmark // 785 // 1,15 // 1 183 // 1,58 // 1 249 // 1,85 // Germany // 47 778 // 69,80 // 49 562 // 66,37 // 45 649 // 67,58 // France // 8 889 // 13,00 // 9 529 // 12,76 // 7 786 // 11,53 // Ireland // 92 // 0,13 // 50 // 0,07 // 30 // 0,04 // Italy // 823 // 1,20 // 2 533 // 3,39 // 746 // 1,10 // United Kingdom // 4 705 // 6,87 // 4 798 // 6,44 // 5 760 // 8,53 // // // // // // // // Total // 68 446 // // 74 672 // // 67 552 // // 1980, p. 1.
Whereas, in view of these factors, and of market forecasts for the products concerned and in particular of the estimates submitted by certain Member States, initial quota shares may be fixed for 1985 at approximately the following percentages:
Benelux 8,89
Denmark 1,53
Germany 67,87
France 12,44
Ireland 0,08
Italy 1,95
United Kingdom 7,24
Whereas, to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota amount should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated among the Member States and the second held as a reserve intended to cover at a later date the requirements of Member States who have used up their initial share; whereas, in order to guarantee some degree of security to importers in each Member State, the first instalment of the Community quota should be fixed at a level which could, in the present circumstances, be 84 % of the quota volume;
Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may be used up at different rates; whereas, in order to take this into account and to avoid a break in continuity, any Member State which has used up almost all of its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas this should be done by each Member State each time one of its additional shares is almost used up, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the Commission must be in a position to follow the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and inform the Member States thereof;
Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a substantial quantity of its initial share remains unused in any Member State, it is essential that it should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve, to prevent part of the Community quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others; whereas, taking into account the seasonal nature of imports, it seems appropriate to fix the transfer limit at 40 % of the initial share;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1985, a Community tariff quota of 25 000 tonnes shall be opened in the Community of Nine for fresh or dried hazelnuts, shelled or not, falling within subheading ex 08.05 G of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Turkey.
2. Within this tariff quota the Common Customs Tariff duty shall be totally suspended.
3. Imports of the product in question benefiting from the same or lower customs duties under preferential arrangements shall not be charged against this tariff quota.
4. This Community tariff quota shall be allocated and administered in accordance with the following provisions.
1. The Community tariff quota referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment amounting to 21 000 tonnes shall be shared among the Member States; the shares, which subject to Article 5 shall be valid until 31 December 1985, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 1 867 // Denmark // 321 // Germany // 14 253 // France // 2 612 // Ireland // 17 // Italy // 410 // United Kingdom // 1 520
3. The second instalment amounting to 4 000 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
1. If 90 % or more of a Member State's initial share, as specified in Article 2 (2), or of that share less the portion returned to the reserve where Article 5 has been applied, has been used up, that Member State shall, without delay, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share equal to 15 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next whole number, in so far as the amount in the reserve allows.
2. If, after its initial share has been used up, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 7,5 % of its initial share.
3. If, after its second share has been used up, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall continue to apply until the reserve is used up.
4. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may draw smaller shares than those fixed in these paragraphs if there is reason to believe that those fixed might not be used up. They shall inform the Commission of their grounds for applying this paragraph.
The additional share drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1985.
Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 October 1985, the unused portion of their initial shares which on 15 September 1985, is in excess of 40 % of the initial amount. They may return a greater quantity if there are grounds for believing that this quantity might not be used in full.
Member States shall notify the Commission, not later than 1 October 1985, of the total imports of the products concerned effected under the Community quotas up to and including 15 September 1985 and, where appropriate, the proportion of their initial share that they are returning to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it has been notified, shall inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall notify the Member States, not later than 5 October 1985, of the state of the reserve after quantities have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which uses up the reserve is limited to the balance available and, to this end, shall specify the amount thereof to the Member State making the final drawing.
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their aggregate shares in the Community quota.
2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products have free access to the shares allocated to them or which they have taken from the reserve.
3. The Member States shall charge the imports of the products concerned against their shares as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall collaborate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is observed.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1077/2012 of 16 November 2012 on a common safety method for supervision by national safety authorities after issuing a safety certificate or safety authorisation Text with EEA relevance

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1077/2012
of 16 November 2012
on a common safety method for supervision by national safety authorities after issuing a safety certificate or safety authorisation
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on safety on the Community’s railways and amending Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings and Directive 2001/14/EC on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (1) and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) One of the purposes of Directive 2004/49/EC is to improve access to the market for rail transport services by defining common principles for the management, regulation and supervision of railway safety. Directive 2004/49/EC also provides equal treatment for all railway undertakings by applying the same safety certification requirements throughout the European Union.
(2) On 5 October 2009 the Commission issued a mandate to the European Railway Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Directive 2004/49/EC to draw up a draft common safety method (CSM) for supervision by national safety authorities after issuing a safety certificate or a safety authorisation to railway undertakings and infrastructure managers. The Agency submitted its recommendation on the CSM to the Commission, supported by an impact assessment report, in agreement with the mandate of the Commission. This Regulation is based on the recommendation by the Agency.
(3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1158/2010 of 9 December 2010 on a common safety method for assessing conformity with the requirements for obtaining railway safety certificates (2) provides a method for assessing conformity with requirements for obtaining safety certificates to be issued in accordance with Article 10(2)(a) and Article 10(2)(b) of Directive 2004/49/EC. That Regulation defines the criteria against which assessment by national safety authorities must be carried out, describes the procedures to follow and establishes the principles to be observed by national safety authorities during supervision as defined in that Regulation after issuing a safety certificate.
(4) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1169/2010 of 10 December 2010 on a common safety method for assessing conformity with the requirements for obtaining a railway safety authorisation (3) includes all the harmonised requirements and assessment methods by means of which national safety authorities can issue an infrastructure manager with a safety authorisation under Article 11 of Directive 2004/49/EC covering the adequacy of the safety management system in general and any network-specific authorisation. That Regulation also defines the criteria against which assessment by national safety authorities must be carried out, describes the procedures to follow and establishes the principles to be used by national safety authorities during supervision, as defined in that Regulation, after issuing a safety authorisation.
(5) After issuing a safety certificate or a safety authorisation, the national safety authority must put in place arrangements to check whether the results outlined in the application for a safety certificate or a safety authorisation are being achieved during operation and that all the necessary requirements are complied with on a continuous basis, as required by Article 16(2)(e) and Article 17(2) of Directive 2004/49/EC.
(6) To be able to perform its tasks under Article 16(2)(f) of Directive 2004/49/EC, the national safety authority also needs to judge, based on its supervision activities, the effectiveness of the safety regulatory framework. ‘Supervision’ means the arrangements put in place by the national safety authority to oversee safety performance after it has granted a safety certificate or safety authorisation.
(7) In undertaking supervision, the national safety authority must apply the fundamental principles of national safety authority supervision activity — proportionality, consistency, targeting, transparency, accountability and cooperation — as set out in Regulation (EU) No 1158/2010 and in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2010. However, these principles also need a framework and process to apply them in practice in the day-to-day activities of the national safety authorities. The current Regulation would provide the necessary framework and process to the national safety authorities, while improving the mutual trust in their approaches to, and decision-making during supervision activities.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 2004/49/EC,
Subject matter and scope
1. This Regulation establishes a common safety method (CSM) of supervision of the safety performance after issuing a safety certificate for railway undertakings or a safety authorisation for infrastructure managers as referred to in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1158/2010 and Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2010 respectively.
2. National safety authorities shall apply the common safety method to oversee compliance with the legal obligation on a railway undertaking or infrastructure manager to use a safety management system to ensure the control of all risks associated with their activities including the supply of maintenance and material and the use of contractors and, where appropriate, to check the application of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1078/2012 of 16 November 2012 on a common safety method for monitoring to be applied by railway undertakings, infrastructure managers after receiving a safety certificate or safety authorisation and by entities in charge of maintenance (4).
3. National safety authorities shall use this Regulation to perform their supervision activities under Article 16(2)(f) of Directive 2004/49/EC and to advise the Member States on the effectiveness of the safety regulatory framework.
Definitions

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1089/2001
of 1 June 2001
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 32/82(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 744/2000(3), Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2772/2000(5), and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92(7), lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef and veal products.
(3) It follows from applying those rules and criteria to the foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that the refund should be as set out below.
(4) Given the current market situation in the Community and the possibilities of disposal in certain third countries in particular, export refunds should be granted, on the one hand, on bovine animals intended for slaughter of a live weight greater than 220 kilograms and less than 300 kilograms, and, on the other on adult bovine animals of a live weight of at least 300 kilograms.
(5) Export refunds should be granted for certain destinations on some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in the Annex under CN code 0202, on some meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 0206 and on some other prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in the Annex under CN code 1602 50 10.
(6) In view of the wide differences in products covered by CN codes 0201 20 90 97/00 and 0202 20 90 91/00 used for refund purposes, refunds should only be granted on cuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed one third.
(7) In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or boneless, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to Switzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refund should be set to cover the difference between prices on the Swiss market and export prices in the Member States.
(8) In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat or offal shown in the Annex under CN codes 1602 50 31 to 1602 50 80, the Community share of international trade may be maintained by granting a refund corresponding to that at present available.
(9) In the case of other beef and veal products, a refund need not be fixed since the Community's share of world trade is not significant.
(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2849/2000(9), establishes the agricultural product nomenclature for the purposes of export refunds.
(11) In order to simplify customs export formalities for operators, the refunds on all frozen cuts should be brought into line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other than those from adult male bovine animals.
(12) Checks on products covered by CN code 1602 50 should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds on these products conditional on manufacture under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products(10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83(11).
(13) Refunds on female animals should vary depending on their age in order to prevent abuses in the export of certain pure-bred breeding animals.
(14) Opportunities exist for the export to certain third countries of heifers other than those intended for slaughter, but to prevent any abuse control criteria should be laid down to ensure that these animals are not more than 36 months old.
(15) Under Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82, the special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The list of products on which export refunds as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 are granted and the amount thereof and the destinations shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The products must meet the relevant health marking requirements of:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Council Directive 64/433/EEC(12),

adjusting the compensatory agrimonetary aid granted to Denmark
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For various Member States, the maximum amount of the compensatory aid resulting from the rates for converting the euro into national currency units and the exchange rates applicable on 1 July 1999 is laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1639/1999(2).
(2) Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 provides that the maximum amount of the compensatory aid is to be reduced or cancelled if necessary as a function of the effect on income of the development of the exchange rates recorded on the first day of the second and third tranche.
(3) The conversion rate applicable to certain direct aids whose operative event is 1 July 2000 is laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1577/2000(3). The rate laid down for the Danish krone indicates a depreciation of that currency, and the amount of the second tranche of compensatory aid for Denmark should therefore be reduced.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,
The reduced amounts of the second tranche of compensatory aid for Denmark resulting from the maximum amounts of the first tranche provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1639/1999 are set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (2) lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls to be carried out on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto (‘the list’), at the points of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.
(3) The occurrence and relevance of food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), the findings of missions to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended.
(4) In particular, the list should be amended by deleting the entries for commodities for which those information sources indicate an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant safety requirements provided for in Union legislation and for which an increased level of official control is therefore no longer justified.
(5) In addition, certain other commodities for which the information sources indicate a degree of non-compliance with the relevant safety requirements, thereby warranting the introduction of an increased level of official controls, should be included in the list.
(6) The entries in the list for certain imports from Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, India and Pakistan should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) As regards the entry for imports of fresh peppers from Thailand, a clarification is necessary in the interest of clarity of Union legislation concerning the CN codes affected.
(8) The amendment to the list concerning the deletion of the references to commodities should apply as soon as possible, as the original safety concerns have been satisfied. Accordingly, those amendments should apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
(9) Taking into account the number of amendments that need to be made to Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009, it is appropriate to replace it by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2011.
However, the deletion of the entry for Pakistan for basmati rice shall apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

|
COUNCIL DECISION of 17 March 1997 authorizing the Kingdom of Spain to apply a measure derogating from Article 9 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes (97/204/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas, by letter to the Commission registered on 6 December 1996, the Kingdom of Spain requested authorization to introduce a measure derogating from Article 9 of Directive 77/388/EEC;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 20 December 1996 of the request made by the Kingdom of Spain;
Whereas the measure is necessary to counter the tax avoidance effects that have led a growing number of Community taxable and non-taxable persons to purchase telecommunications services outside the Community in order to avoid payment of VAT; whereas the measure is furthermore necessary to discourage suppliers of telecommunications services established in a Member State from establishing themselves outside the Community;
Whereas the measure is also necessary to simplify the procedure for charging the tax insofar as it provides the same tax obligations for customers of telecommunications services regardless of whether these services are performed by suppliers established inside or outside the Community;
Whereas the derogations will not affect, except to a negligible extent, the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage and will not therefore have an adverse effect on the European Communities' own resources arising from value-added tax;
Whereas it is necessary to grant this measure from 1 January 1997 in order to remedy as quickly as possible a situation undermining the competitiveness of European telecommunications companies; whereas from 1 January 1997 the customers and the suppliers of telecommunications services had no longer a legitimate confidence in the continuation of the legislation in force at that date;
Whereas it is desirable that the derogation should be granted until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date, in order to allow the Council to adopt a general Community solution based on the Commission proposal,
By way of derogation from Article 9 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Kingdom of Spain is authorized to include, within Article 9 (2) (e) of the Directive, telecommunications services. In the case of a Member State making use of this facility, the provisions of Article 9 (3) (b) of the Directive shall also apply to these services.
Telecommunications services shall be deemed to be services relating to the transmission, emission or reception of signals, writing, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems, including the transfer or assignment of the right to use capacity for such transmission, emission or reception.
This Decision may be applied to telecommunications services in respect of which the chargeable event took place from 1 January 1997. It will also apply to prepayments made in respect of telecommunications services paid for before the date of implementation of this Decision by the Member State insofar as these prepayments cover supplies of telecommunications services which are performed after the date of implementation.
The authorization specified in this Decision shall apply until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2235/2000(4), lays down the rules governing the administration of those special arrangements. This Regulation lays down the special additional detailed rules necessary for implementing the invitation to tender, in particular those relating to the lodging and release of the security to be lodged by operators to ensure compliance with their obligations and, in particular, the obligation to process or use the imported product on the Spanish market.
(3) In the light of current market needs in Spain, an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on imports of maize should be opened in the framework of these special arrangements for imports.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import duty referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on maize to be imported into Spain.
2. The invitation to tender shall be open until 27 June 2002. During that period, weekly invitations shall be issued with quantities and closing dates as shown in the notice of invitation to tender.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 29 August 2013
amending Annex E to Council Directive 91/68/EEC as regards the model health certificates for intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals and the health requirements relating to scrapie
(notified under document C(2013) 5527)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/445/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/68/EEC of 28 January 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in ovine and caprine animals (1), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 91/68/EEC lays down the animal health conditions governing intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals. It provides, inter alia, that ovine and caprine animals must be accompanied during transportation to their destination by a health certificate conforming to model I, II or III set out in Annex E thereto.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine, and caprine animals. Annex VII to that Regulation sets out the measures for the control and eradication of TSEs. In addition, Chapter A of Annex VIII to that Regulation lays down the conditions for intra-Union trade in live animals, semen and embryos.
(3) In the light of new scientific evidence, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 was amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 630/2013 (3). The amendments to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lift most of the restrictions with regards to atypical scrapie. They also further align to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) standards the rules relating to intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals to reflect a stricter approach as regards classical scrapie.
(4) The model health certificates II and III set out in Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC should therefore be amended in order to reflect the requirements relating to intra-Union trade in ovine and caprine animals laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 630/2013.
(5) In addition, the format of the model health certificates I, II and III set out in Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC should be adapted to the format provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 599/2004 (4).
(6) Directive 91/68/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex E to Directive 91/68/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 2000/258/EC of 20 March 2000 designating a specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 2000/258/EC designates the laboratory of the Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments de Nancy (the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy), France, as the specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines.
(2) Decision 2000/258/EC also provides that the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy, is to send the Commission the list of Community laboratories to be authorised to carry out those serological tests. Accordingly, the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy, performs the established proficiency testing procedure for appraising laboratories prior to authorisation to perform the serological tests.
(3) Commission Decision 2004/233/EC of 4 March 2004 authorising laboratories to check the effectiveness of vaccination against rabies in certain domestic carnivores (2), establishes a list of authorised laboratories in the Member States on the ground of the results of the proficiency tests communicated by the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy.
(4) An additional laboratory in Germany has been authorised by the AFSSA Laboratory, Nancy, in compliance with Decision 2000/258/EC.
(5) That laboratory should accordingly be added to the list of authorised laboratories in the Member States set out in the Annex to Decision 2004/233/EC.
(6) Decision 2004/233/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Commission Decision 2004/4/EC (2), tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in Egypt, must not in principle be introduced into the Community. However, in previous years including the 2007/2008 import season the entry into the Community of such tubers was permitted from ‘pest-free areas’ and subject to specific conditions.
(2) During the 2007/2008 import season, no interception of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith was recorded.
(3) In the light of the request and technical information provided by Egypt, the Commission has established that there is no risk of spreading Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith with the entry into the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. from ‘pest-free areas’ of Egypt, provided that certain conditions are satisfied.
(4) The entry into the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in ‘pest-free areas’ of Egypt, should therefore be permitted for the 2008/2009 import season.
(5) Decision 2004/4/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2004/4/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2 paragraph 1 ‘2007/2008’ is replaced by ‘2008/2009’;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1852/94 of 27 July 1994 opening an invitation to tender for the reduction in the levy on grain sorghum imported into Spain from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3640/93 of 17 December 1993 on special arrangements for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain for the year 1993 (1), and in particular Articles 3 (2) and 8 thereof,
Whereas, as part of an agreement with the United States of America, the Community has undertaken to import a certain quantity of maize and grain sorghum into Spain in 1993; whereas by Council Regulation (EC) No 532/94 (2) extending the measures taken under the abovementioned agreement, the Council approved the extension of that agreement to 1994;
Whereas, within the framework of those rights and obligations, Commission Regulation (EC) No 11/94 (3) opened invitations to tender for the reduction in the levy on import of the quantities remaining in 1993; whereas these quantities were not covered by the invitations to tender; whereas, in the light of current market needs in Spain, the balance left for import should be earmarked for that country; whereas, to that end, a new invitation to tender should be opened;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 675/94 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special arrangements for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and of maize into Portugal (4), lays down the special additional detailed rules necessary for implementing the invitation to tender, in particular those relating to the lodging and release of the security to be lodged by operators to ensure compliance with their obligations and, in particular, the obligation to process or use the imported product on the Spanish market; whereas, nevertheless, for the sake of the simplification of import operations, in spite of the provisions of Article 7 (2) of that Regulation, a downward margin of tolerance should be provided for as regards the release for free circulation;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agriculture products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agriculture products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 235/94 (6), provides in particular for a reduction of 60 % in the levy applicable to grain sorghum up to a quota of 100 000 tonnes per calendar year and of 50 % in excess of that quota; whereas, if that benefit is combined with the reduction provided for under this Regulation, this is likely to disturb the Spanish market for cereals; whereas such combined benefits should be ruled out for the sake of the satisfactory functioning of the invitation to tender;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import levy referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (7) on grain sorghum to be imported into Spain, in addition to the invitations to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 11/94.
2. Under this invitation to tender, the reduction in the import levy on grain sorghum provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 shall not apply.
3. The invitation to tender shall be open until 25 August 1994. During that period, weekly invitations shall be issued with quantities and closing dates as shown in the notice of invitation to tender.
4. Regulation (EC) No 675/94 shall apply save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
1. Import licences issued under these invitations to tender shall be valid from the date they are issued, within the meaning of Article 6 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 675/94, until 15 September 1994.
2. Notwithstanding Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 675/94, the quantity released for free circulation may be not more than 5 % less than the quantity indicated in sections 17 and 18 of the import licence.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 25 July 1980
relating to the Community method of analysis for determining the erucic acid content in oils and fats intended to be used as such for human consumption and foodstuffs containing added oils or fats
(80/891/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/621/EEC of 20 July 1976 relating to the fixing of the maximum level of erucic acid in oils and fats intended as such for human consumption and in foodstuffs containing added oils or fats (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of Directive 76/621/EEC provides that, as from 1 July 1979, the erucic acid content of the products referred to in Article 1 of that Directive, calculated on the total level of fatty acids in the fat component, may not be greater than 5 %;
Whereas Article 3 of Directive 76/621/EEC provides that the erucic acid content shall be determined by a Community method of analysis;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1470/68 of 23 September 1968 on the drawing and reduction of samples and the determination of the oil content, impurities and moisture in oil seeds (2), lays down in Annex VI, as introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 72/77 (3), a method of analysis determining the erucic acid content of colza and rape seeds; whereas this method should be used as a screening method;
Whereas it is not possible, when the constituent fatty acids of oils and fats are analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography under normal conditions, to distinguish erucic acid from other isomers of docosenoic acid such as cetoleic acid;
Whereas it is necessary to determine the level of erucic acid in oils and fats, as well as in foodstuffs to which oils or fats have been added, which may contain cetoleic acid and other isomers of docosenoic acid;
Whereas the level of erucic acid need not be determined in oils and fats and in foodstuffs to which oils or fats have been added when, after using the screening analysis methods, they have been found not to contain more than 5 % of total docosenoic acids or of cis-docosenoic acids;
Whereas, pending the introduction of an improved method of analysis for the determination of erucic acid, this method of analysis is considered to be the most suitable at present;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
Member States shall require that the analysis necessary for the determination of the erucic acid content of the products referred to in Article 1 of Directive 76/621/EEC be carried out as laid down in Article 2.
1. For screening purposes either of the following shall be determined:
(a) the total docosenoic acid content of products referred to in Article 1 using the method set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 1470/68; or
(b) the total cis-docosenoic acid content of products referred to in Article 1, by the method set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 1470/68 using gas-liquid chromatography in conditions whereby the cis- and trans-isomers of docosenoic acids are separated; stationary phases suitable for this purpose are, for example, the cyanopropylpolysiloxanes or liquid crystals.
2. If the total content of either:
(a) docosenoic acids, determined according to paragraph 1 (a), or
(b) cis-docosenoic acids, determined according to paragraph 1 (b),
of the products referred to in Article 1, calculated on their total fatty acid content in the fat component, does not exceed 5 %, no further determination shall be required. Otherwise, the erucic acid content shall be determined by the method set out in the Annex hereto.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 February 1982. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/514/EC of 29 November 1995 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of seed produced in third countries(1), as last amended by Decision 2000/326/EC(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision 95/514/EC determined that field inspections carried out in certain third countries on seed-producing crops of certain species satisfy the conditions laid down in Council Directive 66/400/EEC(3), as last amended by Directive 98/96/EC(4), Council Directive 66/401/EEC(5), as last amended by Directive 2001/64/EC(6), Council Directive 66/402/EEC(7), as last amended by Directive 2001/64/EC, and Council Directive 69/208/EEC(8), as last amended by Directive 98/96/EC, on the marketing of beet seed, fodder plant seed, cereal seed, and seed of oil and fibre plants. It also determined that seed of certain species produced in third countries was equivalent to seed produced in the Community. Those determinations apply to Croatia and Uruguay only as regards seed of certain species.
(2) An examination of the rules of Croatia and the manner in which they are applied has shown that in respect of the species listed in Directives 66/400/EEC, 66/401/EEC and 66/402/EEC in respect of species in addition to Zea mays and Directive 69/208/EEC, the prescribed field inspections satisfy the conditions laid down in those Directives and that the conditions applied by Croatia to seed harvested and controlled there afford the same assurances as the corresponding conditions applicable within the Community.
(3) An examination of the rules of Uruguay and the manner in which they are applied has shown that in respect of the species listed in Directive 66/402/EEC in addition to Zea mays the prescribed field inspections satisfy the conditions laid down in that Directive and that the conditions applied by Uruguay to seed harvested and controlled there afford the same assurances as the corresponding conditions within the Community.
(4) Consequently, the equivalence already recognised in respect of seed produced in Croatia and Uruguay should be extended to cover other species.
(5) Directives 66/400/EEC, 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC and 69/208/EEC allow for the simplification of procedures for official seed certification provided that inspections may be carried out by inspectors other than those charged with official examination by the seed certification authority. An equivalent approach has been incorporated in the seed schemes of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
(6) Commission Decision 98/320/EC(9) made provision for a temporary experiment applicable to seed produced within the Community to assess whether seed sampling for the purpose of seed testing and seed testing under official supervision constitute an improved alternative to the procedures for official certification. That approach was approved by the OECD which adopted a derogatory experiment on seed sampling and seed analysis. It is therefore appropriate to extend the scope of the Community experiment to seed produced in third countries participating in that OECD experiment.
(7) According to Decision 95/514/EC, the United States of America may avail itself of a derogation from the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) rules for sampling, testing and the issue of seed analysis certificates, provided that the provisions of the Association of Official Seed Analysts are applied. Canada would like to avail itself of a similar derogation. It appears appropriate to grant such a derogation also to Canada.
(8) Decision 95/514/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Annex to Decision 95/514/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Part I, column 3 of the table is amended as follows:
(a) in the entry relating to Croatia, the words "66/402/EEC - only in respect of Zea mays" are replaced by the words "66/400/EEC, 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 69/208/EEC";
(b) In the entry relating to Uruguay, the words "only in respect of Zea mays" are deleted.
2. Part II is amended as follows:
(a) in section A, the second subparagraph of point 1 is deleted;
(b) section B is amended as follows:
(i) point 2 is deleted;
(ii) in point 3, the following subparagraph is added. "By way of derogation from the second and third subparagraphs, seed sampling and seed testing may be carried out in accordance with the 'Derogatory experiment on seed sampling and seed analysis' set out in Annex V(A), to the Decision adopted by the OECD Council on 28 September 2000 on the OECD schemes for the varietal certification or the control of seed moving in international trade."
(iii) in point 8, the words "Canada and" are inserted before the words "the United States of America".
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) In order to obtain, for one or more of the fish diseases viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) and infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN), the status of approved fish farm situated in a non-approved zone, Member States shall submit the appropriate justifications and the national rules ensuring compliance with the conditions laid down in Directive 91/67/EEC.
(2) Commission Decision 2002/308/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2002/1005/EC(4), establishes the lists of approved zones and approved fish farms situated in non-approved zones with regard to certain fish diseases.
(3) Germany has submitted justifications for the status of approved farm in a non-approved zone for a farm in Bavaria with regard to VHS and IHN, as well as the national rules ensuring compliance with the requirements for that status.
(4) The justification has been scrutinised by the Commission with the assistance of experts in the Member States.
(5) The documentation provided by Germany for the farm concerned shows that it meets the requirements of Article 6 of Directive 91/67/EEC. The farm therefore qualifies for the status of approved farm in a non-approved zone and should be added to the list of approved farms set out in Annex II to Decision 2002/308/EC.
(6) Decision 2002/308/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2153/84 (4), provided in particular for the transfer to Italy of 450 000 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality held by the French intervention agency for disposal by the Italian intervention agency in animal feedingstuffs before 1 August 1984; whereas, since the said quantity could not be disposed of in its entirety before the said date, the deadline for the disposal of the remaining quantity of 32 420 tonnes, held in storage in Sicily, was extended to 31 October 1984; whereas it was stipulated that as from 1 November 1984 quantities not disposed of would be put up for sale again in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 (5);
Whereas the new deadline has proved inadequate; whereas recourse to Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 appears inappropriate; whereas therefore, for the sake of efficient management, provision should be made for the disposal of the remaining quantity of 21 680 tonnes before 1 August 1985; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 should be amended accordingly,
The first subparagraph of Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1322/83 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the second sentence is replaced by the following:
'They shall ensure that it is disposed of in animal feed before 1 August 1985.';
2. the third sentence is deleted.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 2 March 2009 the company FrieslandCampina (formerly DMV International) made a request to the competent authorities of the Netherlands to place lactoferrin on the market as novel food ingredient. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein from milk to be added to foods.
(2) On 31 March 2010 the competent food assessment body of the Netherlands issued its initial assessment report. In this report it came to the conclusion that there was no reason for concern thus lactoferrin may be placed on the market as a novel food ingredient.
(3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 13 April 2010.
(4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5) Therefore the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was consulted on 9 November 2010.
(6) On 27 April 2012 in their ‘Scientific opinion on bovine lactoferrin’ (2) EFSA came to the conclusion that bovine lactoferrin is safe under the proposed uses and use levels.
(7) On 28 June 2012 in another ‘Scientific opinion on bovine lactoferrin’ (3) EFSA also came to the conclusion that bovine lactoferrin is safe under the proposed uses and use levels. Therefore it appears appropriate to authorise the same uses for both applications.
(8) Bovine lactoferrin complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Bovine lactoferrin as specified in Annex I may be placed on the market as a novel food ingredient for the uses defined and at the maximum levels established in Annex II, and without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
The designation of bovine lactoferrin authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuffs containing it shall be ‘Lactoferrin from cows’ milk’.
This Decision is addressed to FrieslandCampina, Nieuwe Kanaal 7R, 6709 PA Wageningen, The Netherlands.

|
Council Regulation (EC) No 405/2003
of 27 February 2003
concerning Community monitoring of imports of hard coal originating in third countries
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 284 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Community has become increasingly dependent on its external supplies of primary energy sources. According to the Green paper "Towards a European Union strategy for the security of energy supply", adopted by the Commission on 29 November 2000, 50 % of the Community's energy requirements are currently covered by imports, and this figure will rise to almost 70 % by 2030 on current trends.
(2) The diversification of suppliers and energy sources is a key factor in security of energy supply. It is therefore essential for the Community to have a system for monitoring imports of hard coal originating in third countries.
(3) The ECSC Treaty and its implementing measures, notably Decision 77/707/ECSC of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community, meeting within the Council of 7 November 1977, concerning Community surveillance of imports of hard coal originating in third countries(1) expired on 23 July 2002.
(4) Commission Decision No 341/94/ECSC of 8 February 1994 implementing Decision No 3632/93/ECSC establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry(2), which enables the Commission to determine the price of coal from third countries intended for blast furnaces and to collect essential data on purchases of coal, coking coal or coke from third countries, also expired on 23 July 2002.
(5) Information on the guide prices of coal originating in third countries, intended for electricity production and of coal intended for the steel industry, is necessary for the proper functioning of the internal market, in particular for the monitoring of State aid to the Community coal industry.
(6) It is therefore necessary to introduce a Community procedure for information and consultation on the costs of external supplies of hard coal and on guide prices for imported coal intended for the production of electricity and for coal intended for the steel industry.
(7) This procedure calls for the examination at regular intervals of aggregate information from Member States on the costs of external coal supplies and on prices of coal originating in third countries intended to be used for electricity production and for the steel industry. The information collected must make it possible to compare the development of the costs and the import prices of coal applied in the Community.
(8) In keeping with current practice, Member States should continue to transmit to the Commission the prices of coal originating in third countries. Member States may retain their current system or set up new procedures for collecting the data.
(9) The information collected and the results of the analyses carried out by the Commission must be published at Community level in order to ensure the transparency of the market, albeit in a form that does not enable specific imports or individual companies to be identified, with consultation between the Member States and the Commission.
(10) If the Commission finds any anomalies or inconsistencies in the notified figures, it must be able to obtain other information from the Member State concerned.
(11) In order to provide guidance, in line with the tasks assigned to the Community, on the course of action to be followed by all concerned and to determine its own course of action, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty, the Commission conducts a continuous study of solid fuel market and price trends.
(12) The Commission must publish the studies and the information collected in application of this Regulation, albeit in a form that does not enable specific imports or individual companies to be identified. It must specify the arrangements for the communications.
(13) This Regulation should be applied retroactively from the expiry of the ECSC Treaty on, in order to ensure the full benefit of its provisions,
This Regulation establishes a system for monitoring of imports of hard coal originating in third countries.
Member States shall provide the Commission with information on imports of hard coal and on the import prices of coal products intended for electricity production and for use in the steel industry in the Community.
This information shall be obtained by aggregating the data received in accordance with Article 4 and it shall be presented in such a way as to provide as accurate a picture as possible of the Community coal market.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) "coal imports" means any consignment of coal products originating in third countries and entering the customs territory of the Community for purposes other than transit, which is intended for the production of electricity or to supply the coke ovens of a Member State;
(b) "import price" means the free-at-frontier price of coal products entering the customs territory of the Community, based on tonnes of coal equivalent (tce) in the case of coal intended for power stations and based on a standard grade in the case of coal intended for coke ovens.
Any person or undertaking importing one of the coal products referred to in Article 5 from a third country shall provide the Member State, in which that person or undertaking is established, with the relevant information on such imports.
Any imports divided into several batches for transport reasons must be considered as a single import consignment if covered by a single price.
If an import consignment of a given product is declared as having been divided into several batches, each with different prices, a separate declaration shall be made for each batch.
1. The data characterising any import of coal products to a Member State must comprise:
(a) the designation of the coal product;
(b) the quantity expressed in metric tonnes, and in addition for steam coal the average low calorific value;
(c) in the case of coal for the production of coke referred to in paragraph (2)(b): ash, moisture, volatile matter and sulphur content;
(d) the price actually paid.
2. Information shall be communicated on the following coal products:
(a) coal for the production of electricity or for combined heat and power generation;
(b) coal for the production of coke to supply steel industry blast furnaces.
3. Member States may request from their Customs Services information necessary to fulfil their obligations under this Regulation.
The information which Member States are required to provide to the Commission pursuant to Article 2 shall be communicated within a period of two months from the end of each period not exceeding six months. This information shall be the aggregate result, for each type of coal product, of the data which Member States receive from persons or undertakings. For each of the coal products, the information shall comprise:
(a) the tonnage and characteristics for harmonisation referred to in Article 5(1)(b) and (c);
(b) the import prices.
On the basis of the information collected in application of this Regulation, the Commission shall publish in an appropriate form:
(a) each semester, the prices aggregated at Community level, of all coal imports intended for the production of electricity or for combined heat and power generation, excluding duties and taxes;
(b) each semester, the prices aggregated at Community level, of all coal imports intended for the production of coke for blast furnaces, excluding duties and taxes;
(c) during the first quarter of each year, a report on the market in solid fuels in the Community concerning the preceding year together with a market outlook for the current year.
Member States and the Commission shall consult each other at regular intervals at the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission. These consultations shall concern in particular the communications referred to in Article 6 and 7.
Consultations shall be organised with international organisations and with third countries that have introduced similar information mechanisms.
All information received by the Commission in the application of this Regulation shall be subject to the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents(3).
Member States may refrain from submitting details which relate to individual undertakings.
0
If the Commission finds any anomalies or inconsistencies in the information communicated to it by Member States, it may ask them to provide details of the calculation or evaluation procedures on which the aggregate information is based.
1
The Commission shall adopt the provisions implementing this Regulation relating to the form, content and all other characteristics of the communications referred to in Article 2.
2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 24 July 2002 and shall expire on 31 December 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION of 19 April 1995 authorizing the automatic renewal or maintenance in force of provisions governing matters covered by the common commercial policy contained in the friendship, trade and navigation treaties and trade agreements concluded between Member States and third countries (95/133/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 in conjunction with Article 228 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 69/494/EEC of 19 December 1969 on the progressive standardization of agreements concerning commercial relations between Member States and third countries and on the negotiation of Community agreements (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the automatic renewal or extension beyond the transitional period of the treaties, agreements and protocols listed in the Annex was last authorized by Decision 93/679/EC (2);
Whereas the Member States concerned have again requested authorization for the automatic renewal or maintenance in force of provisions governing matters covered by the common commercial policy within the meaning of Article 113 of the Treaty and contained in the friendship, trade and navigation treaties and similar agreements with third countries listed in the Annex, in order to avoid interrupting their contractual commercial relations with the third countries concerned;
Whereas, however, most of the matters covered by these provisions of national treaties and agreements will in future be governed by Community agreements; whereas, in that case, authorization should be given only in respect of those matters not covered by Community agreements; whereas, in addition, such authorization does not absolve the Member States from the obligation of avoiding and, where appropriate, eliminating any incompatibility between such treaties and agreements and the provisions of Community law;
Whereas the provisions of the treaties and agreements to be automatically renewed or maintained in force must not, furthermore, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the Member States concerned have stated that the automatic renewal or maintenance in force of these treaties and agreements should not be such as to constitute an obstacle to the opening of Community commercial negotiations with the relevant third countries or the transfer of the commercial fields covered by current bilateral agreements to Community agreements;
Whereas, at the conclusion of the consultation provided for in Article 2 of Decision 69/494/EEC, it was established, as the aforesaid statements by the Member States confirm, that the provisions of the relevant treaties and bilateral agreements will not, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas, nevertheless, the Member States concerned have stated that they would be willing to adapt and, if necessary, terminate those treaties and agreements should it be found, during the period under consideration, that the automatic renewal or maintenance in force of the provisions thereof relating to matters covered by Article 113 of the Treaty hinders the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the treaties and agreements involved contain termination clauses requiring a period of notice of between three and 12 months;
Whereas, therefore, there is no reason for not authorizing the automatic renewal or maintenance in force, until 30 April 1996, of the provisions in question;
Whereas the automatic renewal or extension of the treaties and trade agreements between the Member States and the EFTA countries was considered inappropriate, except for those concluded with Switzerland and Norway, as the countries concerned have become members of the European Union from 1 January 1995 or are already members of the European Economic Area,
The provisions governing matters covered by the common commercial policy within the meaning of Article 113 of the Treaty and contained in the friendship, trade and navigation treaties and trade agreements listed in the Annex hereto may be automatically renewed or maintained in force until 30 April 1996 as regards those areas not covered by agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned in so far as their provisions do not conflict with existing common policies.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (application EGF/2010/019 IE/Construction 41 from Ireland)
(2011/772/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Ireland submitted an application on 9 June 2010 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in 1 482 enterprises operating in NACE Revision 2 Division 41 (‘Construction of buildings’) in the NUTS II regions of Border, Midlands and Western (IE01) and Southern and Eastern (IE02) in Ireland, and supplemented it by additional information up to 17 June 2011. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 12 689 838.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Ireland,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2011, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 12 689 838 in commitment and payment appropriations.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

|
COMMISSION DECISION of 29 April 1992 on a transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1992) of France pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 (Only the French text is authentic) (92/358/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 April 1991, the Government of France forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet for the period 1992 to 1996, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme', as required by Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 88/121/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 90/229/EEC (4), constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the current or likely situation as regards availability of fish in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned does not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1992 to 1996, in view of the fact that availability of fish continues to deteriorate;
Whereas the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fleet capacity and fish availability;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas it is important that the overall reduction in fishing effort judged to be necessary in order to adapt the Community fleet to available resources should reflect significant reductions in particular segments of that fleet where an imbalance is most apparent; whereas there is insufficient information available at present to achieve comprehensive segmentation of the fleet in accordance with stocks and zones fished; whereas a broader range of parameters should therefore be developed to evaluate fishing effort as well as fleet capacity;
Whereas the Commission cannot approve programmes for the full period until adequate information is available to Member States to permit this new approach and additional time will be required to execute the work programme necessary to complete this process;
Whereas it is not appropriate to interrupt the process of reduction of the fleet inherent in the guidance programmes; whereas transitional programmes, for the period 1 January to 31 December 1992, should therefore be approved;
Whereas further reduction in fleet capacity is needed in view of the present state of the fish stocks; whereas available information indicates that a minimum reduction of 2 % expressed in tonnage and engine power, based on the objectives for the end of 1991, is necessary to compensate for technological progress; whereas in addition to that reduction, a certain percentage reduction is also necessary for catching-up, in the case of those Member States which have not reached the 1991 objectives;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
A transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet covering the period up to the end of 1992 is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
At the latest by the end of July 1992 and the end of February 1993, France shall forward the Commission, in respect of each category of vessel defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 30 June and 31 December.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of France.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 458/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 April 2007 on the European system of integrated social protection statistics (ESSPROS) (1), and in particular Articles 5(2) and 7(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 458/2007 established a methodological framework to be used for compiling statistics on a comparable basis for the benefits of the European Union and time limits for the transmission and dissemination of statistics compiled in accordance with the European system of integrated social protection statistics (hereinafter referred to as ‘ESSPROS’).

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1417/97 (2), and in particular Article 6 (4) thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, all new planting of vines is prohibited until 31 August 1998; whereas, however, there is provision for Member States to grant authorization for new vine planting for the 1996/97 and 1997/98 wine years for areas intended for the production of:
- quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr), and
- table wines designated as one of the following: 'Landwein`, 'vin de pays`, 'indicazione geografica tipica`, 'vino de la tierra`, 'vinho regional`, 'regional wine`, etc.,
for which the Commission has recognized that production, by reason of their qualitative characteristics, is far from able to satisfy demand;
Whereas requests for the application of that provision in certain regions were submitted by Austria on 6 December 1996 and 22 January and 10 March 1997; whereas Commission Decision 97/280/EC (3) of 17 April 1997 was adopted in response to those requests;
Whereas a further request was made on 8 July 1997 for 82 ha; whereas that request exhausts the authorized area available for new planting;
Whereas examination of the latest request has shown that the quality wines psr in question meet the necessary conditions; whereas the limit of 139 ha laid down in the Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 has not been exceeded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 467/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for cereals as a result of the accession of Spain (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 468/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for rice as a result of the accession of Spain (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas Article 72 (1) of the Act stipulates that the accession compensatory amounts are to be equal to the difference between the prices fixed for Spain and the intervention prices applicable for the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985; whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 468/86, that difference may be adjusted to make the products concerned comparable;
Whereas, under Articles 111 (3) and 117 (5) of the Act, the accession compensatory amounts for processed products are to be derived from those applicable to the product to which they are related, with the help of coefficients to be determined; whereas these coefficients are to be fixed having regard to technical factors in processing and also to the fact that the compensatory amounts will apply to imports, to exports and to trade between the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 and Spain;
Whereas, under Article 117 (6) of the Act, the compensatory amount for broken rice must be fixed at a level that takes into account the difference between the supply price in Spain and the threshold price; whereas, in accordance with Article 2 of the said Regulation (EEC) No 468/86, the supply price must be that recorded on the Spanish market over a period to be determined; whereas, in the light of the production and marketing situation in Spain and of the fact that, once the supply price has been determined, it may not be changed later; prices recorded on the market of Valencia in the period 1 September 1985 to 5 February 1986 should be used.
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. For the period 1 March 1986 until the end of the 1985/86 marketing year, the accession compensatory amounts applicable to the products referred to in Article 1 (a) and (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (3) shall be as shown in Annex A to this Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean(1), and in particular Article 3(1) and Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
(1) Whereas Article 3(1) and Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 set out certain technical conservation measures which were subject to derogating conditions until 31 December 1998;
(2) Whereas the abovementioned Articles provide that the Council can modify the date of expiration of the derogations, on a proposal by the Commission, in the light of scientific data proving that their use does not have a negative impact on the resources;
(3) Whereas, according to submissions by certain Member States, termination of the derogation period is causing disturbance to the fishing activities of numerous Mediterranean fishermen whose living depends to a great extent on the possibility of undertaking fisheries under the derogating conditions;
(4) Whereas preliminary scientific data presented by the said Member States suggest that continuation of the derogation will have a low effect on resources; whereas it is however desirable to have available the most updated and complete information, analysed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, before a definitive decision is taken;
(5) Whereas it is therefore appropriate to allow temporarily a continuation of these fishing activities until the Council is in a position to adopt a definitive solution to the problem, founded on a solid scientific basis;
(6) Whereas, in order to set such a solid scientific basis, detailed information should be gathered on the likely impact on the resources of the fishing activities concerned,
Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 3(1), the date of 31 December 1998 shall be replaced by 31 May 2000;
2. in Article 6(1), the date of 31 December 1998 shall be replaced by 31 May 2000.
1. Member States shall produce and make available to the Commission, before 1 February 2000, all possible scientific information on the impact on the resources subject to the fisheries carried out under the conditions set out in Article 3(1) and Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1626/94. This information should include fleet characteristics, technical details of the gear used and population dynamics of the biota likely to be affected by the fisheries.
2. On the basis of all relevant scientific information, the Commission shall present to the Council, before 16 April 2000, a proposal establishing whether the fisheries referred to in paragraph 1 may be continued and the technical conditions that should govern them. The Council, acting by qualified majority, shall decide on this proposal by 31 May 2000 at the latest.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1999.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Commission Directive 96/77/EC of 2 December 1996 laying down specific purity criteria on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (7) set out a first list of purity criteria for a number of food additives; whereas this list should now be complemented with the newly established purity criteria for other additives;
Whereas it is necessary to take into account the specifications and analytical techniques for additives as set out in the Codex Alimentarius as drafted by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA);
Whereas food additives, if prepared by production methods or starting materials significantly different from those included in the evaluation of the Scientific Committee for Food, or if different from those mentioned in this Directive, should be submitted for evaluation by the Scientific Committee for Food for the purposes of a full evaluation with emphasis on the purity criteria;
Whereas, the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs,
Directive 96/77/EC shall be amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
'Article 2
The purity criteria referred to in Article 1 replace the purity criteria set out in Directives 65/66/EEC, 78/663/EEC and 78/664/EEC.`

of 21 May 2007
introducing a scheme to compensate for the additional costs incurred in the marketing of certain fishery products from the outermost regions the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands, French Guiana and Réunion
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 and Article 299(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) The fisheries sector in the outermost regions of the Community is facing difficulties, and in particular additional costs incurred in the marketing of certain fishery products, due to the particular handicaps recognised by Article 299(2) of the Treaty and resulting mainly from the cost of transport to continental Europe.
(2) With a view to maintaining the competitiveness of certain fishery products compared with that of similar products from other Community regions, the Community introduced measures from 1992 to compensate for such additional costs in the fisheries sector. The measures applying for the period 2003-2006 are laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 2328/2003 (3). It is necessary from 2007 to continue measures for offsetting the additional costs for the marketing of certain fishery products on the basis of a report by the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee.
(3) In view of the different marketing conditions in the outermost regions concerned, the fluctuations in captures and stocks and of market demands, it should be left to the Member States concerned to determine the fishery products eligible for compensation, their respective maximum quantities and the compensation amounts within the overall allocation per Member State.
(4) Member States should be authorised to differentiate the list and the quantities of fishery products concerned and the amount of compensation within the overall allocation per Member State. They should also be authorised to adjust their compensation plans if justified by changing conditions.
(5) Member States should set the compensation amount at a level which allows appropriate off-setting of additional costs, arising from the specific handicaps of the outermost regions and in particular from the costs of transporting the products to continental Europe. To avoid overcompensation, the amount should be proportional to the additional costs the aid off-sets and in no case exceed 100 % of the transport and other related costs to continental Europe. To this end, it should also take into account other types of public intervention having an impact on the level of additional costs.
(6) In order to achieve properly the objectives of this Regulation and to guarantee compliance with the Common Fisheries Policy, support should be limited to fishery products harvested and processed in accordance with the rules thereof.
(7) In order that the compensation scheme operates effectively and correctly, Member States should also make sure that the recipients of aid are economically viable and that the implementing system allows for a regular application of the scheme.
(8) To permit appropriate monitoring of the compensation scheme, the Member States concerned should submit annual reports on its operation.
(9) To enable a decision to be taken on whether to continue the compensation scheme after 2013, the Commission should submit a report to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee based on an independent evaluation in due time before the end of the scheme.
(10) The Community expenditure envisaged for the compensation scheme should be implemented under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund in direct centralised management according to Article 3(2)(f) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4).
(11) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).
(12) For the implementation of direct centralised financial management, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2003/2006 of 21 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) of expenditure relating to the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (6) should apply,
Subject-matter
This Regulation introduces a scheme for the period 2007 to 2013 to provide compensation for the additional costs incurred by the operators set out in Article 3 in the marketing of certain fishery products from the following outermost regions as a result of those regions’ specific handicaps (hereinafter referred to as the compensation):
— The Azores,
— Madeira,
— The Canary Islands,
— French Guiana, and

Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation the definition of ‘fishery products’ set out in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (7) shall apply.
Operators
1. The compensation shall be paid to the following operators who incur additional costs in the marketing of fishery products:
(a) the producers;
(b) the owners or operators of vessels registered in the ports of the regions referred to in Article 1 and operating therein or associations of such operators; and

2. The Member States concerned shall take steps to ensure the economic viability of operators receiving the compensation.
Eligible fishery products

The list of fishery products and the quantities may be differentiated for each of the regions belonging to one Member State.
2. When establishing the list and the quantities referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall take into account all the relevant factors, in particular the need to ensure that the compensation does not result in an increased pressure on biologically sensitive stocks, the level of additional costs and qualitative and quantitative aspects of production and marketing.
3. Fishery products for which the compensation is granted must have been harvested and processed in accordance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy on:
(a) conservation and management;
(b) traceability;
(c) grading standards.
4. The compensation shall not be granted for fishery products:
(a) caught by third country vessels, with the exception of fishing vessels which fly the flag of Venezuela and operate in Community waters;

(c) imported from third countries;
(d) derived from illegal, unreported or unregulated fishing.
Point (b) shall not apply if the raw material supplied according to the rules laid down in this Article is not sufficient to use the existing capacity of the processing industry in place in the outermost region concerned.
The compensation
1. Each Member State concerned shall determine for its regions referred to in Article 1 the level of compensation for each fishery product in the list referred to in Article 4(1). That level may be differentiated for individual regions or between regions belonging to one Member State.
2. The compensation shall take into account:
(a) for each fishery product the additional costs resulting from the specific handicaps of the regions concerned, in particular the expenditure for the transport to continental Europe; and
(b) any other type of public intervention affecting the level of additional costs.
3. The compensation in respect of the additional costs shall be proportional to the additional costs it intends to off-set. The level of compensation in respect of the additional costs shall be duly justified in the compensation plan. However, in no case shall the compensation exceed 100 % of the expenditure incurred for the transport and other related costs of the Fishery products, which are intended for continental Europe.
4. The total amount of compensation per year shall not exceed:
(a) : The Azores and Madeira : EUR 4 283 992;
(b) : The Canary Islands : EUR 5 844 076;
(c) : French Guiana and Réunion : EUR 4 868 700.
Adjustments
The Member States concerned may adjust the list and quantities of eligible fishery products referred to in Article 4(1) and the level of compensation referred to in Article 5(1) to take account of changing conditions provided that the total amounts referred to in Article 5(4) are respected.
Submission of compensation plans
1. By 6 November 2007, the Member States concerned shall submit to the Commission the list and quantities referred to in Article 4(1) and the level of compensation referred to in Article 5(1) (hereinafter jointly referred to as the compensation plan).

3. If the Commission fails to react within the period of two months after receiving the compensation plan referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, the compensation plan shall be deemed to have been approved.
4. If a Member State makes adjustments pursuant to Article 6, it shall submit its amended compensation plan to the Commission and the procedure laid down in paragraph 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis. The amended plan shall be deemed to have been approved if the Commission fails to react within the period of four weeks after receiving the amended compensation plan.
Reporting
1. Each Member State concerned shall draw up an annual report on the implementation of the compensation and submit it to the Commission by 30 June of each year.
2. By 31 December 2011, the Commission shall on the basis of an independent evaluation, report to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of the compensation, accompanied, where necessary, by legislative proposals.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to 30 December 2011 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Romania submitted an application on 22 December 2011 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in the enterprise SC Nokia Romania SRL and one supplier, and supplemented it by additional information up to 22 August 2012. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 2 942 680.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Romania,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2012, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 2 942 680 in commitment and payment appropriations.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:

(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

(3) Pursuant to the said general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be classified under the CN code(s) indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3.
(4) It is appropriate that binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature and which is not in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, can continue to be invoked by the holder, under the provisions of Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2700/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4), for a period of three months.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003, laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 provides, where this paragraph is specifically referred to when an export refund is fixed, for an interval of three working days between the day of submission of applications and the granting of export licences with advance fixing of the refund and provides that the Commission is to fix a uniform percentage reduction in the quantities if applications for export licences exceed the quantities which may be exported. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2003(4) fixes refunds under the procedure provided for in the abovementioned paragraph for 2000 tonnes for destination R01 defined in the Annex to that Regulation.
(2) For destination R01, quantities applied for on 24 November 2003 are in excess of the available quantity; a percentage reduction should therefore be fixed for export licence applications submitted on 24 November 2003.
(3) In view of its purpose, this Regulation should take effect from the day of its publication in the Official Journal,
For destination R01 defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1961/2003, applications for export licences for rice and broken rice with advance fixing of the refund submitted under that Regulation on 24 November 2003 shall give rise to the issue of licences for the quantities applied for to which a percentage reduction of 99,87 % has been applied.
For destination R01 defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1961/2003, applications for export licences for rice and broken rice submitted from 25 November 2003 shall not give rise to the issue of export licences under that Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 November 2003.

Council Decision
of 15 July 2003
authorising Germany to conclude an agreement with Switzerland that includes provisions derogating from Articles 2 and 3 of Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2003/544/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered at the Commission's Secretariat-General on 13 December 2002, Germany requested authorisation to conclude an agreement with Switzerland on the building and maintenance of a frontier bridge across the Rhine between Rheinfelden (in Baden WĂźrttemberg, Germany) and Rheinfelden (in Aargau, Switzerland) which will provide access from either end to German motorway A 861 and Swiss Route Nationale N3.
(2) The other Member States were informed of Germany's request in a letter dated 4 February 2003.
(3) The agreement is to contain provisions on VAT derogating from Articles 2(2) and (3) of the Sixth VAT Directive 77/388/EEC in respect of goods and services supplied for the building and maintenance of the frontier bridge and of goods imported for the building or maintenance of the bridge.
(4) If the derogations to the Sixth VAT Directive 77/388/EEC were not granted, building and maintenance works carried out in German territory would be subject to German VAT whereas those carried out in Swiss territory would not be subject to the provisions of the Sixth VAT Directive; also, any goods imported from Switzerland into Germany for use in building and maintaining the frontier bridge would be subject to German VAT.
(5) Application of these normal rules would therefore mean serious tax complications for the entrepreneurs responsible for carrying out the works.
(6) This derogation is intended to simplify the collection of taxes on the works involved in building and maintaining the bridge in question.
(7) The derogation will have only a minor, but positive, incidence on Community own resources obtained from VAT,
Germany is hereby authorised to conclude an Agreement with Switzerland that includes provisions derogating from the Sixth VAT Directive 77/388/EEC and covers the building and maintenance of a frontier bridge across the Rhine between Rheinfelden (in Baden WĂźrttemberg, Germany) and Rheinfelden (in Aargau, Switzerland). The bridge is to provide access from either end to German motorway A 861 and Swiss Route Nationale N3.
The derogating tax provisions of the Agreement are set out in Articles 2 and 3.
By way of derogation from Article 3 of the Sixth VAT Directive 77/388/EEC, those parts of the construction site of the frontier bridge referred to in Article 1, and of the frontier bridge itself once work has been completed, that are situated in Swiss territory shall be deemed to be part of German territory for the purposes of goods and services supplied for the building and maintenance of the frontier bridge.
By way of derogation from Article 2(2) of the Sixth VAT Directive 77/388/EEC, goods imported from Switzerland into Germany shall not be subject to value added tax, provided they are used for the building or maintenance of the bridge referred to in Article 1. However, this derogation shall not apply to goods imported for the same purpose by a public administration.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

(4) The amount of the final tranche of Community financial assistance must now be set.
(5) The Commission has verified that all Community veterinary rules have been applied and that all conditions for Community financial assistance have been met.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Germany may obtain a third and final tranche of a maximum of EUR 1750000 in financial assistance from the Community for eligible expenditure incurred under eradication measures relating to outbreaks of classical swine fever which occurred in the course of 1997.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 79/65/EEC of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operation of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 4(4), and 6(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 (2) fixes the number of returning holdings per division. The number of returning holdings to be selected in each division may differ by up to 20 % in either direction provided that this does not entail a reduction in the total number of returning holdings per Member State.
(2) As the financial management of such a measure is difficult, a limitation per Member State as to the total number of duly completed farm returns eligible for Community financing is introduced in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1915/83 of 13 July 1983 on certain detailed implementing rules concerning the keeping of accounts for the purpose of determining the incomes of agricultural holdings (3). For reasons of clarity and coherence, this change should be reflected in Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82. Flexibility in the number of returning holdings per division should remain allowed, as long as the total number of the returning holdings of the Member State concerned is respected.
(3) In view of the limitation per Member State of the total number of duly completed farm returns eligible for Community financing, the number of returning holdings laid down in Annex I for Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France and Luxembourg should be adjusted, to maintain the actual sample size.
(4) The number of returning holdings per division in Sweden should be adjusted, due to changes in the borders between the divisions.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Community Committee for the Farm Accountancy Data Network,
Regulation (EEC) No 1859/82 is amended as follows:
1. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from the 2005 accounting year.

Whereas Member States have transmitted to the Commission the list of products in respect of which they are requesting application of the first subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of the above Directive, and the nature of the derogations requested;
Whereas for the purposes of this Decision it is necessary to define the term milk-based products with traditional characteristics as used in Article 8 (2) of Directive 92/46/EEC;
Whereas certain requirements of that Directive are likely to affect the production of such milk-based products with traditional characteristics;
Whereas, given the diverse nature of the derogations provided for in Article 8 (2) of that Directive, it is necessary to set general or specific conditions applicable to each product with due regard to public health risks;
Whereas the derogations requested by Member States are from rules relating to raw milk, materials coming into contact with products, ripening cellars and finished products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
For the purposes of Article 8 (2) of Directive 92/46/EEC and of this Decision, milk-based products with traditional characteristics shall mean milk-based products which are:

|
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 219/92 of 27 January 1992 repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3302/86 suspending imports of gold coins from the Republic of South Africa
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Whereas, in response to the deteriorating situation in South Africa and the refusal of its Government to take specific measures leading to the abolition of apartheid, the Council, by means of Regulation (EEC) No 3302/86 (1), suspended, on 27 October 1986, the import of gold coins from the Republic of South Africa;
Whereas the present Government of the Republic of South Africa has taken steps to abolish apartheid, inter alia, by proposing to the South African Parliament the repeal of the laws that provided the basis for apartheid; whereas the way is now open for the negotiation of a constitution for a united, democratic and non-racial South Africa;
Whereas, in the context of European political cooperation, it has therefore been possible to reach a consensus on relaxing the restrictions adopted in 1986 in order to encourage that process;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3302/86 should therefore be repealed;
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Regulation (EEC) No 3302/86 is hereby repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 510/2004
of 18 March 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) Import duties and export refunds still apply to certain sugar products traded between the Community, of the one part, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, hereinafter referred to as "new Member States", of the other part, and the level of export refunds is appreciably greater than the level of import duties. In view of the accession of these countries to the Community on 1 May 2004, the appreciable gap between the level of import duties and the level of export refunds granted for the products in question may result in speculative trade flows.
(10) To prevent any abuse through the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund or levy should be set for all the new Member States for the products covered by this Regulation.
(11) 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.
(12) 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 19 March 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Whereas the Irish Government submitted to the Commission, on 31 May 1991, a small-scale fisheries zonal plan, hereinafter referred to as the 'plan'; whereas it has since submitted additional information on this plan;
Whereas it is necessary to examine whether the plan fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 2 (5) and (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and can constitute a framework for Community and national financial measures in the small-scale fisheries sector;
Whereas, particularly in view of respecting a reduction in the overall capacity of the fishing fleet provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86, it is necessary to limit Community aid to final cessation of vessels and the modernization of the small fleet, while meeting the needs of the sector for small-scale fisheries as set out in the plan presented to the Commission with Community participation for part of the necessary finances;
Whereas the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The small-scale fisheries zonal plan (1991 to 1992) submitted by Ireland on 31 May 1991 and supplemented by it at a later date is hereby approved subject to the limits and conditions laid down in this Decision.
For guidance, Community aid for 1991 is divided as follows:
(in ecus)
1. Modernization 22 500
For the submission and examination of applications for Community aid for measures concerning modernization included in the indicative financing plan referred to in Article 2, the corresponding provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 894/87 (3) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1116/88 (4) and Decision No 88/163/EEC (5) shall apply.
Modernization measures provided for in the zonal plan must not result in an increase in the fishing capacity of the fleet (grt or kW).
By 31 July 1993 at the latest, Ireland shall provide the Commission with information on the number, tonnage and power of the vessels entering and leaving service during the period covered by the plan for each category of vessels defined in the zonal plan.
This Decision is addressed to Ireland.

Whereas this increase in the usable volume involves a reduction in the space reserved for the driver and in the space between the tractive unit and the semi-trailer by means of special coupling devices;
Whereas there is a consequent deterioration in the comfort and safety of the driver's working area;
Whereas the current standards should be improved so as to lead to a better balance between the rational and economic use of commercial road vehicles and the requirements of road safety by making tractive units for semi-trailers more interchangeable while ensuring that drivers have enough room,
Council Directive 85/3/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following Article is inserted:
´Article 4a
Articulated vehicles put into circulation before 1 January 1991 which do not comply with the new specifications contained in points 1.6 and 4.4 of Annex I shall be
deemed to comply with such specifications for the purposes of Article 3 (1) if they do not exceed the total length of 15,50 metres.'
2. Point 1.1 of Annex I is replaced by the following:
´1.1 Maximum length
- motor vehicle12,00 metres'.
- trailer12,00 metres'.
- articulated vehicle16,50 metres'.
- road train18,00 metres'.
- articulated bus18,00 metres'.
3. The following point is inserted in Annex I:
´1.6. Maximum distance betwen the axis of the fifth-wheel king pin and the rear of a semi-trailer12,00 metres'.
4. The following point is inserted in Annex I:
´4.4. Semi-trailers:
The distance measured horizontally between the axis of the fifth-wheel king pin and any point at the front of the semi-trailer must not exceed 2,04 metres'.
After consulting the Commission, the Member States shall adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 January 1991.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

(2) There is a need for a comprehensive and comparable set of data on transition from work into retirement in order to monitor progress towards the common objectives of the Community’s Employment Strategy and of the open method of coordination in the area of pensions that was launched by the Laeken European Council in December 2001. Both processes identify the promotion of active ageing and prolongation of working life as priorities for action, in particular through guideline 5 of the Employment Guidelines 2003 ‘Increase labour supply and promote active ageing’ as adopted by the Council on 22 July 2003 (3) and through objective 5 of the pensions process as developed in the Joint report on objectives and working methods in the area of pensions approved by the Council of Laeken of 14 and 15 December of 2001 and in the Joint report by the Commission and the Council on adequate and sustainable pensions adopted by the Council of Brussels, 20 and 21 March 2003.
(3) In accordance with Decision No 1145/2002/EC (4) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 June 2002 on Community incentive measures in the field of employment, Community activities concerning analysis, research and cooperation among the Member States in the field of employment and the labour market shall be carried out in the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2006 and one of the objectives of these activities is to develop, follow up and evaluate the European Employment Strategy with a strong forward-looking emphasis.
(4) It is also necessary to update the specification of the sample set out in section 3 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 246/2003, in order to maximise the potentiality of the sample for the ad hoc module in terms of analysis.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee,
The detailed list of information to be collected in 2006 by the ad hoc module on transition from work into retirement shall be as set out in the Annex.
In Section 3 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 246/2003, the point ‘Sample’ is replaced by the following:
‘Sample: The target age group for the sample for this module consists of persons aged 50 to 69. The complete set of variables of the labour force survey shall be collected for the sub-sample used for the ad hoc module. When the sample unit is the individual, no data on the other members of the household are required.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 27 November 1980 on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents at work (80/1107/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), drafted following consultation with the Advisory Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at work,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Council resolution of 29 June 1978 on an action programme of the European Communities on safety and health at work (4), provides for the harmonization of provisions and measures regarding the protection of workers with respect to chemical, physical and biological agents ; whereas efforts must therefore be made towards approximation, while the improvement is being maintained, of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States in accordance with Article 117 of the Treaty;
Whereas certain differences are revealed by an examination of the measures taken by Member States to protect workers from the risks related to exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents at work ; whereas, therefore, in the interests of balanced development, these measures, which directly affect the functioning of the common market, should be approximated and improved ; whereas this approximation and improvement should be based on common principles;
Whereas the said protection should as far as possible be ensured by measures to prevent exposure or keep it at as low a level as is reasonably practicable;
Whereas to this end it is appropriate that the Member States should, when they adopt provisions in this field, comply with a set of requirements, including in particular the laying down of limit values ; whereas an initial list of agents may be adopted in this Directive for the application of further more specific requirements ; whereas the Member States will determine whether and to what extent each of these requirements is applicable to the agent concerned;
Whereas provision should be made, within the time limits set by this Directive, for the implementation, in respect of a limited number of agents, of provisions to ensure, for the workers concerned, appropriate surveillance of their state of health during exposure and the provision of appropriate information;
Whereas the Council will lay down the limit values and other specific requirements for certain agents in individual Directives;
Whereas certain technical aspects concerning the specific requirements established in the individual directives can be reviewed in the light of experience and progress made in the technical and scientific fields; (1)OJ No C 89, 5.4.1979, p. 6. (2)OJ No C 59, 10.3.1980, p. 73. (3)OJ No C 297, 28.11.1979, p. 5. (4)OJ No C 165, 11.7.1978, p. 1.
Whereas representatives of employers and workers have a role to play in the protection of workers;
Whereas, since the Hellenic Republic is to become a member of the European Economic Community on the 1 January 1981 in accordance with the 1979 Act of Accession, it should be granted a longer period in which to implement this Directive so as to enable it to set up the necessary legislative, social and technical structures, in particular those concerning consultation of both sides of industry, the setting up of a system for monitoring the health of workers as well as the supervision of such implementation,
1. The aim of this Directive is the protection of workers against risks to their health and safety, including the prevention of such risks, arising or likely to arise at work from exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents considered harmful.
2. This Directive shall not apply to: - workers exposed to radiation covered by the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
- sea transport,
- air transport.
For the purposes of this Directive: (a) "agent" means any chemical, physical or biological agent present at work and likely to be harmful to health;
(b) "worker" means any employed person exposed or likely to be exposed to such agents at work;
(c) "limit value" means the exposure limit or biological indicator limit in the appropriate medium, depending on the agent.
1. In order that the exposure of workers to agents be avoided or kept at as low a level as is reasonably practicable, Member States shall, when they adopt provisions for the protection of workers, concerning an agent, take: - the measures set out in Article 4,
- the additional measures set out in Article 5, where the agent appears in the initial list in Annex I.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the Member States shall determine the extent, if any, to which each of the measures provided for in Articles 4 and 5 is to apply, taking into account the nature of the agent, the extent and duration of the exposure, the gravity of the risk and the available knowledge concerning it, together with the degree of urgency of the measures to be adopted.
3. Member States shall adopt the measures necessary to ensure: - in the case of the agents listed in Annex II, Part A, appropriate surveillance of the state of health of workers during the period of exposure,
- in the case of the agents listed in Annex II, Part B, access for workers and/or their representatives at the place of work to appropriate information on the dangers which these agents present.
4. The adoption of the measures referred to in paragraph 3 by the Member States shall not oblige them to apply paragraphs 1 and 2.
The measures referred to in the first indent of Article 3 (1) shall be: 1. limitation of the use of the agent at the place of work;
2. limitation of the number of workers exposed or likely to be exposed;
3. prevention by engineering control;
4. establishment of limit values and of sampling procedures, measuring procedures and procedures for evaluating results;
5. protection measures involving the application of suitable working procedures and methods;

12. keeping updated records of exposure levels, lists of workers exposed and medical records;
13. emergency measures for abnormal exposures;
14. if necessary, general or limited ban on the agent, in cases where use of the other means available does not make it possible to ensure adequate protection.
The additional measures referred to in the second indent of Article 3 (1) shall be: 1. providing medical surveillance of workers prior to exposure and thereafter at regular intervals. In special cases, it shall be ensured that a suitable form of health surveillance is available to workers who have been exposed to the agent, after exposure has ceased;
2. access by workers and/or their representatives at the place of work to the results of exposure measurements and to the anonymous collective results of the biological tests indicating exposure when such tests are provided for;
3. access by each worker concerned to the results of his own biological tests indicating exposure;
4. informing workers and/or their representatives at the place of work where the limit values referred to in Article 4 are exceeded, of the causes thereof and of the measures taken or to be taken in order to rectify the situation;
5. access by workers and/or their representatives at the place of work to appropriate information to improve their knowledge of the dangers to which they are exposed.
Member States shall see to it that: - workers' and employers' organizations are consulted before the provisions for the implementation of the measures referred to in Article 3 are adopted and that workers' representatives in the undertakings or establishments, where they exist, can check that such provisions are applied or can be involved in their application,
- any worker temporarily suspended on medical grounds in accordance with national laws or practices from exposure to the action of an agent is, where possible, provided with another job,
- the measures adopted in implementation of this Directive are consistent with the need to protect public health and the environment.
This Directive and the individual Directives referred to in Article 8 shall not prejudice the right of Member States to apply or introduce laws, regulations or administrative provisions ensuring greater protection for workers.
1. In the individual Directives which it adopts on the agents listed in Annex I, the Council shall, acting on a proposal from the Commission, lay down the limit value or values and the other specific requirements applicable.
2. The titles of the individual Directives shall include serial numbers.
3. Adaptation to technical progress in accordance with the procedure in Article 10 shall be restricted to the technical aspects listed in Annex III under the conditions laid down in the individual Directives.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85 of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in agriculture (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1889/87 (9), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas all customs offices on both sides of the inner German border will be abolished after the coming into force of the inter-German Treaty (Staatsvertrag) on a monetary, economical and social union between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic;
Whereas in order not to impede Community exportations by way of the inner German border into or via the territory of the German Democratic Republic, it seems necessary to adopt special provisions concerning the delivery of proof that agricultural products have left the customs territory of the Community, which is required in particular in view of granting export refunds and the release of securities;
Whereas, according to the inter-German Treaty, the German Democratic Republic will take over the common customs tariff and the essential provisions of the common customs law; whereas the Federal Republic of Germany ensures that as from 1 July 1990, the necessary customs formalities will be executed by authorities of the German Democratic Republic in accordance with the relevant Community provisions as far as exports from the Community are concerned; whereas therefore proof of leaving the territory of the Community in particular the control copy T 5 mentioned in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87, can be established by customs offices of the German Democratic Republic on the appropriate Community customs documents;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,
Where agricultural products leave the customs territory of the Community via the inner German border, the appropriate proof for fulfilling this condition whenever required in Community provisions, is only that delivered by customs offices of the German Democratic Republic respecting the relevant Community provisions.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
agricultural product means:
- agricultural products listed in Annex II to the Treaty, and
- agricultural products exported in the form of goods not listed in Annex II to the Treaty, which are listed in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 (10).
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 July 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 21 April 2006
implementing Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards quality criteria for validated analytical methods for sampling, identification and characterisation of primary smoke products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council of 10 November 2003 on smoke flavourings used or intended for use in or on foods (1) and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003 lays down provisions for the establishment of a list of primary products authorised for use as such in or on foods and for the production of smoke flavourings for use in or on foods within the Community. This list shall, among other things, contain a clear description and characterisation of each primary product.
(2) Detailed information about the qualitative and quantitative chemical composition of the primary product is necessary for the scientific evaluation. The portions which have not been identified, i.e. the amount of substances whose chemical structure is not known, should be as small as possible.
(3) It is therefore necessary to establish minimum performance criteria, in this context referred to as quality criteria, to which the method of analysis shall comply in order to ensure that laboratories use methods with the necessary level of performance.
(4) Smoked foods in general give rise to health concerns, especially with respect to the possible presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
(5) The person who intends to place primary products on the market should submit all the information necessary for the safety assessment. This information should contain a proposed validated method for sampling, identification and characterisation of the primary product.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2), lays down general requirements for methods of sampling and analysis.
(7) The Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) named 15 PAHs as potentially genotoxic and carcinogenic to humans in an opinion on the risks to human health of PAH in food, expressed on 4 December 2002 (3). They represent a priority group in the assessment of the risk of long-term adverse health effects following dietary intake of PAHs. Their presence in primary products should — as a consequence — be analysed.
(8) The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) of the Commission Directorate General Joint Research Centre carried out collaborative studies for analysing the chemical composition of primary products and for quantifying the concentration of the 15 PAHs therein. The results of these trials are in part published in the Report on the Collaborative Trial for Validation of two Methods for the Quantification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Primary Smoke Condensates (4).
(9) To describe the precision of the method the repeatability standard deviation as defined in ISO 5725-1 (5) is required. It should be estimated using data from a single-laboratory validation exercise giving Si as described in the Harmonized Guidelines for Single-Laboratory Validation of Methods of Analysis (6) or a collaborative trial giving Sr and SR as described in the Protocol for the design, conduct and interpretation of method-performance studies (7).
(10) A full validation of methods to analyse the composition of primary products, with a maximum of compounds identified, is not achievable. The high number of analytes gives rise to incalculable amount of work which is impractical. If however mass spectrometry is used for the detection of compounds, the resulting mass spectra can be compared to published data (8) or to mass spectral libraries and a tentative identification of the compounds can be achieved.
(11) Based on the results obtained in the inter-laboratory validation study on PAHs and following Commission Decision 2002/657/EC (9), minimum quality criteria for any suitable analytical method for determination of PAHs in all primary products have been proposed.
(12) Following the recommendation given in the ISO, IUPAC, and AOAC International Harmonized Guidelines for the Use of Recovery Information in Analytical Measurement, the analytical results should be corrected for recovery.
(13) The European Food Safety Authority has given scientific and technical assistance for the elaboration of the quality criteria for validated methods for identification and characterisation of primary smoke products laid down in this regulation.
(14) The quality criteria can be adapted, to take into account advances in scientific and technological knowledge.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The quality criteria for validated analytical methods for sampling, identification and characterisation of primary smoke products, as referred to in point 4 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2065/2003, shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas the rules on the inapplicability of Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of fishing during the artificial restocking of stocks or the transplantation of fish, crustaceans and molluscs should be clarified to show that the other provisions of the Regulation apply only to fish, crustaceans or molluscs which are retained for this purpose and placed on sale for human consumption,

- Skagerrak and Kattegat for Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) (authorized target species),
shall be replaced by the items given in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 21,547 EUR/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

concerning animal health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy
(notified under document number C(2005) 1321)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/363/EC)
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 the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2003/514/EC of 10 July 2003 concerning health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy (4) was adopted in response to the presence of African swine fever in the province of Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy.
(2) In 2004, a serious recrudescence of African swine fever occurred in Sardinia. African swine fever must still be considered an endemic disease in the domestic and feral pig population of the province of Nuoro. Some outbreaks of that disease in domestic pigs have, however, also been notified in other provinces of Sardinia.
(3) The disease situation is liable to endanger the pig herds in other regions of Italy and in other Member States, in view of trade in live pigs, pig semen, ova and embryos and pig meat, pig meat products and other products containing pig meat.
(4) Italy has taken measures to combat African swine fever in Sardinia within the framework of Council Directive 2002/60/EC of 27 June 2002 laying down specific provisions for the control of African swine fever and amending Directive 92/119/EEC as regards Teschen disease and African swine fever (5).
(5) Italy has reviewed the measures taken so far to combat the disease in the light of the recrudescence of the disease in 2004.
(6) Commission Decision 2005/362/EC of 2 May 2005 approving the plan for the eradication of African swine fever in feral pigs in Sardina, Italy (6) was adopted in order to approve the plan for the eradication of African swine fever in feral pigs submitted by Italy.
(7) In the light of the current epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to apply further Community measures to the whole territory of Sardinia as regards the movement of live pigs and pig semen, ova and embryos and the dispatch of pig meat, pig meat products and products containing pig meat.
(8) It is appropriate to provide for certain derogations from the measures provided for in this Decision for pig meat originating from pigs which have entered Sardinia as pigs for slaughter in accordance with Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (7) or Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (8) or Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (9) or that satisfies certain requirements of this Decision.
(9) It is also appropriate to provide for certain derogations for pig meat products and other products containing pig meat obtained from meat that entered Sardinia as fresh pig meat in accordance with Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health conditions for the production and marketing of fresh meat (10) or in accordance with Directive 2002/99/EC or that comply with Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting the production and marketing of meat products and certain other products of animal origin (11) or that satisfy certain requirements of this Decision.
(10) In order to ensure that pig meat, pig meat products and other products containing pig meat, not fulfilling certain animal health requirements are not dispatched from Sardinia and to ensure the traceability of such pig meat and products, the pig meat should be specially marked. These special marks must be such that they cannot be confused with the oval stamp for pig meat provided for in point 50 of Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC, or after its date of application the health mark in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (12), and with the oval stamp for pig meat products and other products containing pig meat provided for in point 4 of Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC, or after its date of application the identification mark in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (13).
(11) Decision 2003/514/EC should therefore be repealed.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
