Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, Italy’s application to register ‘Ricotta Romana’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2).
(2) Germany objected to the registration under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 on the grounds that it was unclear whether the protection was also sought for the term ‘Ricotta’ on its own.
(3) By letter of 15 October 2004, the Commission asked the Member States concerned to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.
(4) As no agreement was reached between Italy and Germany within three months, the Commission must adopt a decision in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.
(5) Italy has let it be known that the application relates solely to protection of the compound name ‘Ricotta Romana’ and that the term ‘Ricotta’ can be freely used.
(6) In light of the above, the name should thus be entered in the ‘Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee on the Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin for Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs,
The name in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby added to the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2400/96 (3).

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2534/2001 of 21 December 2001 opening import quotas in respect of special preferential raw cane sugar from the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period 1 July 2001 to 28 February 2002

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2534/2001
of 21 December 2001
opening import quotas in respect of special preferential raw cane sugar from the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period 1 July 2001 to 28 February 2002
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 Article 23(2) and Article 39(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays down that, during the 2001/02 to 2005/06 marketing years and in order to ensure adequate supplies to Community refineries, a special reduced duty is to be levied on imports of raw cane sugar originating in states with which the Community has concluded supply arrangements on preferential terms. At present such agreements have been concluded by Council Decision 2001/870/EC(2) with the ACP States party to Protocol 3 on ACP sugar(3) attached to Annex V to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, and with the Republic of India.
(2) The quantities of special preferential sugar to be imported are calculated in accordance with the said Article 39 on the basis of a Community forecast supply balance. The balance indicates the need to import raw sugar and to open for the 2001/02 marketing year tariff quotas at the special reduced rate of duty as provided for in the above agreements so that the Community refineries' supply needs can be met for part of the year. In view of the forecasts for raw cane sugar production which are now available for the 2001/02 marketing year and as a result of the presumed maximum refining needs fixed by Member State and the shortfall resulting from the forecast supply balance, provision should be made to authorise imports for each refining Member State for the period 1 July 2001 to 28 February 2002.
(3) Those authorisations must take account of the quantities already authorised by Commission Decisions 2001/656/EC of 3 August 2001 laying down provisional measures for imports into Portugal and Finland of special preferential raw cane sugar for refining at the start of the 2001/02 marketing year(4) and 2001/787/EC of 9 November 2001 laying down provisional measures for imports into Portugal of special preferential raw cane sugar for refining during the 2001/02 marketing year(5).
(4) The agreements concluded by Decision 2001/870/EC lay down that the refiners in question must pay a minimum purchase price equal to the guaranteed price for raw sugar, minus the adjustment aid fixed for the marketing year in question. This minimum price must therefore be fixed by taking account of the factors applying in the 2001/02 marketing year.
(5) Since those agreements cover the period 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2006, the measures provided for in this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 July 2001.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The following quotas are opened for the period 1 July 2001 to 28 February 2002 pursuant to Decision 2001/870/EC in respect of imports of raw cane sugar for refining falling within CN code 1701 11 10:
(a) a tariff quota of 161000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the ACP States covered by that Decision, bearing the serial No 09.4097;
and
(b) a tariff quota of 10000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in India, bearing the serial No 09.4097.
1. The special reduced duty per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar applying to imports of the quantities referred to in Article 1 shall be EUR 0.
2. The minimum purchase price to be paid by Community refiners for the period referred to in Article 1 shall be EUR 49,68 per 100 kg of standard quality raw sugar.
3. The import duties paid on quantities already imported under Decisions 2001/656/EC and 2001/787/EC shall be reimbursed.
The following quantities expressed as white sugar may be imported by the Member States under the quotas referred to in Article 1 and on the terms laid down in Article 2(1):
(a) Finland 30000 tonnes;
(b) mainland Portugal 141000 tonnes.
These quantities include the quantities authorised for import by Decisions 2001/656/EC and 2001/787/EC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food(1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001(2), sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs. Maximum levels have been established for amongst others patulin.
(2) A maximum level of 10,0 μg/kg has been established for apple juice and solid apple products, including apple compote and apple puree, for infants and young children and other baby food on the condition that a method of analysis would have been validated by an international collaborative ring trial to be performed before 1 November 2003 in order to demonstrate that the level of 10 μg/kg patulin can be reliably determined. In case there was no evidence by 1 November 2003 that the level of 10 μg/kg could be reliably determined, the level of 25 μg/kg would apply.
(3) A collaborative trial has been organised to provide the evidence that the level of 10,0 μg/kg can be reliably determined. A report indicating that a method can reliably determine levels of patulin in clear apple juice and fruit puree at 10 μg/kg and lower has been provided on 27 October 2003.
(4) It is appropriate to adopt transitional arrangements for products manufactured and put on the market before the date of application.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

91/136/EEC: Council Decision of 4 March 1991 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Hellenic Republic
|
COUNCIL DECISION of 4 March 1991 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Hellenic Republic (91/136/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 of 24 June 1988 establishing a single facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States' balances of payments (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted after consultation of the Monetary Committee,
Whereas the Greek Government has applied for medium-term financial assistance to support its balance of payments and economic programme of adjustment and reform;
Whereas the amounts outstanding under previous loans granted to the Member States are within the ceiling specified in Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88;
Whereas in addition to the immediate problems in the balance of payments arising from the deterioration in the current account and the need to make substantial repayments of external debt, the Greek economy suffers from serious structural deficiencies affecting its external performance and prospects; whereas a balance of payments loan disbursed in tranches is justified while measures of rectification and adjustment are undertaken;
Whereas the improvement in the performance of the Greek economy which will enable the Hellenic Republic to participate more fully in Community integration and in particular to join the exchange rate mechanism (ERM) of the European Monetary System before the agreed starting date for the second stage of Economic and Monetary Union will require a significant reduction in inflation and an improvement in the structure of the economy; whereas such objectives will only be met by a substantial reduction in public sector deficits, by a tight monetary policy and a firm exchange rate policy and by reform and liberalization of product, labour and financial markets;
Whereas the Community is already offering support to the Greek economy through its funding of Community programmes in favour of the Hellenic Republic and in particular the Community support framework for structural assistance; whereas the benefits from Community support would be enhanced by the achievement of financial stability and in particular a reduction in inflation to low levels;
Whereas the repayments due on the loan granted to the Hellenic Republic in 1985 by Council Decision 85/543/EEC of 9 December 1985 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Hellenic Republic (2) will be made as scheduled;
Whereas the Greek authorities have adopted a three-year programme of adjustment and reform and following consultation with the Commission have presented this programme at the same time as their application for a loan; whereas the Greek Government will implement fully its programme of adjustment and reform over a three-year period from 1991 to 1993 so as to achieve the objectives described in that programme, including the restoration of the external accounts to a sustainable position and the achievement of a low rate of inflation; whereas an external current account deficit of 3 % of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and an inflation rate of 7 % or less by the end of 1993 would be consistent with these objectives;
Whereas the Greek Government will take the necessary steps to achieve the targets and introduce the specific measures indicated in their programme over the three year period from 1991 to 1993 agreed as follows:
1. The central government net borrowing requirement expressed as a percentage of GDP will not exceed 10,4 % in 1991 and 5 % and 1,5 % in 1992 and 1993 respectively. In 1991, in addition to the measures already proposed by the Greek authorities, the target will be achieved by freezing 150 000 million Drachmas of reserves included in the 1991 budget until the end of September 1991 when a review will take place with the Commission of central government revenue and expenditure trends. If it is agreed on the basis of the trends that the net borrowing requirement will be less than the target set out above (i.e. excluding 150 000 million Drachmas of reserves) then the reserves will be released on a pro rata basis but to an amount no greater than 150 000 million Drachmas. If it is foreseen that the net borrowing requirement will exceed the above target the Greek Government will take measures to ensure that the target is met.
2. The combined net borrowing of the public enterprises and the public entities expressed as a percentage of GDP will not exceed 2,2 % in 1991 and 1,5 % in 1992 and 1993 respectively. This percentage may be exceeded for the purpose of consolidating and taking over existing unrecorded debt of public enterprises and entities so as to enhance the transparency of the public sector accounts. The effect of these operations on the net borrowing of the public enterprises and the public entities combined will not exceed an additional 1,3 % of GDP in 1991. Ceilings of a similar nature for 1992 and 1993 will be agreed in the process of disbursement of the second and third tranches.
3. Public sector employment, calculated as being the number of civilian employees in central government, the local authorities, the public enterprises, the public entities and the Industrial Reconstruction Organization (IRO), and amounting to 525 000 employees at the end of 1990 will be reduced by 10 % by the end of 1993. This reduction will be achieved through a restrictive recruitment policy and will include the reduction in employment achieved through the privatization of the IRO companies and the public enterprises. In the case of the public enterprises the whole of the employment in an enterprise will be counted as a reduction in public sector employment where the public enterprise is sold to the private or foreign sectors as to 49 % of its value.
4. The tax base will be broadened by increasing the efficiency of tax collection and, where necessary, by the introduction of new taxes. To improve the efficiency of tax collection the Greek Government will undertake in 1991 to seek assistance from international experts while the Commission will seek within the existing Community support framework to provide resources for the improvement of tax administration. In addition, in 1991 the alternative income tax system for the liberal professions and the handicraft sector will be introduced and made effective.
Furthermore, income tax revenues from the agricultural sector will gradually be brought into line with the revenues raised in the non-agricultural sectors so that by the 1993 fiscal year the revenue raised in the form of income taxes from the agricultural sector will not be less than 65 000 million Drachmas.
5. With respect to the oil tax system, the Greek Government undertakes:
(a) to adjust the consumer price of oil products promptly, so as to reflect any changes in the world price of oil, with a view firstly to avoiding a reduction in the oil tax component of the consumer price and secondly to increasing the tax component particularly in the event of world oil prices falling;
(b) to deregulate the market during 1991;
(c) to review with the Commission towards the end of 1991, the structure of environmental taxes on energy, in order to assess the situation after deregulation and the prospects for raising additional revenue from the oil tax.
6. Total expenditure on current grants and subsidies will not exceed 836 000 million Drachmas in 1991 and 780 000 million Drachmas and 745 000 million Drachmas in 1992 and 1993 respectively.
7. Nominal wage increases in the public sector, as already announced by the Greek Government, will not exceed 4 % in January 1991 and 4 % in July 1991. These limits will apply to central government, the public entities, the public enterprises and other public sector bodies. Incomes policy in the public sector will continue to be restrictive in 1992 and 1993.
8. Non-wage current budget expenditure on goods and services will be reduced in real terms over the adjustment period.
9. In addition to measures to enhance the transparency of the public sector financial accounts, a new system of monitoring and control of the operating results and the borrowing requirements of the public enterprises and the public entities will be introduced after consultation with the Commission by 30 June 1991. Cash limits on the disbursement of budget grants for the public enterprises and the public entities will be applied by the Government until the new system is effective.
10. The compulsory bank financing of the Government's budget by 40 % of banks' deposits will be phased out, at the margin, in accordance with the following timetable or earlier:
- 1 July 1991: 30 %;
- 1 July 1992: 20 %;
- 1 July 1993: 0 %.
11. With respect to the system of compulsory financing of the handicrafts sector, at preferential interest rates, by up to 10 % of bank deposits, the Greek Government will rationalize the system beginning in 1991 and will phase out the system by 30 June 1993.
12. The direct access of the Treasury to Central Bank liquidity amounting to 10 % of the increase in Government expenditure will be abolished in line with progress achieved in the elimination of monetary financing by other Member States, and in any case not later than the end of 1993.
13. Monetary policy will be set each year with respect to the targets agreed for the fiscal deficit and will not accommodate failure to achieve the targets. In particular, total credit granted to the public and the private sectors will not exceed 1 670 000 million Drachmas in 1991, 1 290 000 million Drachmas in 1992 and 1 100 000 million Drachmas in 1993. With respect to exchange rate policy, the Greek Government will follow, in 1991, a policy of not completely accommodating inflation differentials against other Member States. Nominal exchange rate changes over the period of adjustment will reflect the deceleration in inflation and the objective of joining the ERM by 1993.
14. With respect to structural reform and in order to ensure that the Hellenic Republic participates fully in the internal market programme, the Greek Government undertakes to provide, in consultation with the Commission, by June 1991, a timetable for legislative action over the adjustment period, to include the main elements in the proposed reforms:
(a) deregulation in goods, labour and service markets;
(b) tax and social security reform;
(c) a reduction in the share of the wider public sector;
(d) capital liberalization in accordance with Community legislation.
15. The limitations on tourist expenditure and restrictions on capital movement, which are the subject of the existing derogation under Article 108 of the Treaty, will be removed not later than two months after this Decision becomes effective;
Whereas it is agreed that in the implementation of this Decision the Greek authorities will consult closely with the Commission and will make available all the necessary information for a full and effective monitoring of the agreed programme of adjustment; whereas, in accordance with this Decision, developments in the Greek economy and in Greek economic policy will be reviewed twice a year in the Monetary Committee or more frequently if warranted,
The Community shall grant the Hellenic Republic under Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 a loan of ECU 2 200 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies.
The loan shall be made available to the Hellenic Republic in three instalments. The average duration of each instalment shall not exceed six years. The three instalments shall be made as follows:
- the first instalment amounting to ECU 1 000 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies as soon as the borrowing operations are completed;
- the second instalment amounting to ECU 600 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies not earlier than 1 February 1992 and in any case the second instalment shall not be released until the Commission, in consultation with the Council and in the light of an examination made in collaboration with the Monetary Committee of the results obtained in the execution of the programme, is satisfied that the agreed measures have been fully implemented and that the targets of the programme have been achieved or that the necessary additional measures to achieve the targets have been agreed or fully implemented;
- the third instalment amounting to ECU 600 million or the equivalent amount in other currencies not earlier than 1 February 1993 subject to the same examination, verification and consultation as in the case of the second instalment.
1. The loan shall be granted on the basis of the decision taken by the Hellenic Republic to implement the economic recovery programme which it has presented, the objectives of which are set out in the recitals to this Decision.
2. The Commission, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee, shall examine at regular intervals the evolution of the economic situation of Greece and the execution of the economic recovery programme, as implemented. These examinations will continue until the loan is fully repaid.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

85/209/EEC: Commission Decision of 26 March 1985 accepting the undertaking given in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of plasterboard of Spanish origin into Ireland and Northern Ireland and terminating that investigation
|
COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 March 1985
accepting the undertaking given in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of plasterboard of Spanish origin into Ireland and Northern Ireland and terminating that investigation
(85/209/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In July 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by Gypsum Industries Ltd, which manufactures plasterboard in Ireland. This firm is not the only Community producer nor does its output constitute a major proportion of the total Community production of the like product. However, it argued that Ireland and Northern Ireland should be considered to be a distinct competitive market for this product, separate from the rest of the Community. For this reason the complainant considered that it should be regarded as being a Community industry as provided for by Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 since it sells all of its production in this separate market and since the demand in this market is not to any substantial degree supplied by other Community producers of plasterboard.
The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom and also information concerning the alleged isolation of the Irish market, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Ireland and Northern Ireland of plasterboard falling within subheading ex 68.10 A of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 68.10-10, originating in Spain, and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporter and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
The only known exporter and importers made their views known in writing. The exporter and one of the importers concerned requested and were granted hearings.
(3) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:
EEC producer:
Gypsum Industries Ltd, Dublin and Kingscourt,
Exporter:
EspaĂąola de Placas de Yeso, SA, Quinto de Ebro (Zaragoza) and Madrid,
Importer in Ireland:
Iberian Trading Ltd, Dublin.
(4) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 October 1983 to 30 September 1984.
B. Normal value
(5) Normal value was provisionally determined on the basis of the domestic prices of the sole Spanish producer/exporter.
C. Export price
(6) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(7) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account of differences affecting price comparability and allowances were made for differences in conditions and terms of sale concerning rebates and indirect taxes. Allowances for selling, general and administrative expenses requested by the exporter were not granted by the Commission since a direct relationship between these expenses and the sales under consideration was not satisfactorily demonstrated.
(8) All comparisons were made at ex-works level.
E. Margin of dumping
(9) Normal value was set against export prices on a transaction by transaction basis and, as a result, the above preliminary examination of the facts showed the existence of dumping in respect of imports of plasterboard originating in Spain, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to Ireland and Northern Ireland. On this basis the dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the cif export price to the market concerned varied from 0 to 15 %, the weighted average margin being 7,0 %.
F. Injury
(10) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into Ireland and Northern Ireland of plasterboard of Spanish origin increased from an index of 100 in 1983 (exact figures are confidential) to an index of 574,6 for the first nine months of 1984 with a consequent increase in market share held by the exporting country from an index of 100 in 1983 (exact figure confidential) to 700 in the first nine months of 1984.
(11) The resale prices of these imports undercut the prices of the Irish producer during the investigation period by from 0 to 15 %. During a significant part of the period under investigation the resale prices of these imports were lower than those required to cover the complainant producer's costs and provide a reasonable profit.
(12) The Community industry in respect of which the injury must be assessed is the sole Community producer selling its production in the market comprised of Ireland, where the producer is located, and Northern Ireland. The Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Community's anti-dumping Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 regarding the separation of the Community into more than one market are fulfilled in the present circumstances.
(13) The consequent impact on this Community industry has been a reduction in market share from an index of 100 in 1983 (exact figure confidential) to an index of 93 in the first nine months of 1984. The numbers employed have been reduced by almost 4 % during the same period, whilst the average return on sales for the six months ending 30 September 1984 fell to an index of 62,2 (exact figures confidential) compared to an index of 100 for the year ending 30 March 1984.
(14) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as the volume and prices of undumped imports or the stagnation of demand. It has been established that imports into Ireland from countries other than Spain have remained insignificant between 1983 and 1984 and were not at prices such as to cause injury to the Community industry. With regard to consumption, the investigation has shown that between 1982 and the first nine months of 1984 the demand for plasterboard in the market under consideration expanded by almost 6 %. Despite the increase in the size of the market the Irish producer has seen his market share decrease.
(15) The volume of the dumped imports, the market share which they have obtained and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the market concerned led the Commission to determine that the effects of the dumped imports of plasterboard originating in Spain taken in isolation have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.
G. Community interest
(16) The Commission has considered whether it is in the Community interest to take protective measures.
(17) In view of the necessity for the Community industry concerned to generate sufficient funds to finance future investment and because of the relatively low impact of a price increase on the costs of the consuming industry the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. H. Undertaking
(18) The exporter concerned was informed of the main findings of the preliminary investigation and commented on them. An undertaking was subsequently offered by EspaĂąola de Placos de Yeso, SA, concerning their exports of plasterboard to Ireland and Northern Ireland.
(19) The effect of the said undertaking will be to increase export prices to Ireland and Northern Ireland to the level necessary to eliminate the dumping. It appears that correct operation of the undertaking can be effectively monitored.
(20) In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigation may, therefore, be terminated without imposition of an anti-dumping duty.
No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,
The undertaking given by EspaĂąola de Placos de Yeso, SA in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of plasterboard falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 68.10 A, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 68.10-10 and originating in Spain, is hereby accepted.
The anti-dumping investigation referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated.

Council Decision
of 18 March 2003
concerning the conclusion of a Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions
(2003/285/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133, in conjunction with Article 300(2), first subparagraph, first sentence thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part(1), provides for certain reciprocal trade concessions for certain agricultural products.
(2) Article 20(5) of the Europe Agreement provides that the Community and Hungary shall examine product by product and on an orderly and reciprocal basis the possibilities of granting each other further concessions.
(3) The first improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement with Hungary were provided for in the Protocol for the adaptation of the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement to take into account the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union and the results of the agricultural negotiations of the Uruguay Round, including improvements to the existing preferential arrangements, approved by Decision 1999/67/EC(2).
(4) Improvements to the preferential arrangements were also provided for as a result of negotiations to liberalise agricultural trade concluded in 2000. On the Community side, these were implemented from 1 July 2000 by Regulation (EC) No 1727/2000 of 31 July 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Hungary(3). This second adjustment of the preferential arrangements has not yet been incorporated in the Europe Agreement in the form of an Additional Protocol.
(5) Negotiations for further improvements to the preferential arrangements of the Europe Agreement with Hungary were concluded on 25 April 2002. The results of the negotiations have so far been implemented by the respective parties in the form of autonomous measures. On the Community side, the autonomous measures were implemented by Council Regulation (EC) No 1408/2002 of 29 July 2002 establishing concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Hungary(4). Similar legislative measures were adopted and implemented by the Republic of Hungary.
(6) The new Protocol to the Europe Agreement adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as the Protocol) should be approved with a view to consolidating all concessions in agricultural trade between the two sides, including the results of the negotiations concluded in 2000 and 2002.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(5) has codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations. Certain tariff quotas under this Decision should therefore be administered in accordance with those rules.
(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision 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(6).
(9) As a result of the aforementioned negotiations, Regulation (EC) No 1408/2002 has been superseded and should therefore be repealed,
The Protocol adjusting the trade aspects of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part, to take account of the outcome of negotiations between the parties on new mutual agricultural concessions, is hereby approved on behalf of the European Community.
1. The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person empowered to sign the Protocol on behalf of the Community in order to bind the Community.
2. The President of the Council shall, on behalf of the Community, make the notification of approval provided for in Article 4 of the Protocol.
Upon this Decision taking effect, the arrangements provided for in the Annexes to the Protocol attached to this Decision shall replace those referred to in Annexes VIII and IX as referred to in Article 20(2) and 20(3), as amended, of the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part.
The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the application of the Protocol in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2).
The order numbers as attributed to the tariff quotas in the Annex to this Decision may be changed by the Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2). Tariff quotas with an order number above 09.5100 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Management Committee for Cereals instituted by Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92(7) or, where appropriate, by the committee instituted by the relevant provisions of the other Regulations on the common organisation of agricultural markets.
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
Regulation (EC) No 1408/2002 shall be repealed from the entry into force of the Protocol.

(2) However, the information presently available on the conditions applying in third countries is still not sufficient to enable the Commission to adopt any such decision in respect of any third country at this stage.
(3) In order to prevent trade patterns from being disrupted, Member States importing fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants from third countries should continue to be allowed to apply conditions equivalent to those applicable to similar Union products in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 92/34/EEC.
(4) The period of application of the derogation provided for in Directive 92/34/EEC for such imports should consequently be extended until 29 September 2012.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 14 June 2004
amending Decision 98/161/EC authorising the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Articles 2 and 28a(1) of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2004/514/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 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 27(1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce or extend 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.
(2) By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 26 November 2003, the Dutch Government requested the extension of Decision 98/161/EC (2) authorising it to apply special tax measures to the recyclable waste sector.
(3) The other Member States were informed of the request on 14 January 2004.
(4) Decision 98/161/EC, authorised the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply, until 31 December 2003, the following measures:
— an exemption for the supply and intracommunity acquisition of used and waste materials by firms with an annual turnover of less than NLG 2,5 million. For the purposes of calculating that threshold, turnover in non-ferrous metals may be disregarded,
— an exemption for the supply and intracommunity acquisition of non-ferrous metals.
(5) Taxable entities carrying out transactions which are exempt pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 of Decision 98/161/EC may be authorised not to make supplies and intra-Community acquisitions of used and waste materials effected by them subject to the special measures provided for by that Decision.
(6) The derogating measure was needed because of the difficulty in dealing with fraud in this sector, where certain operators, mainly small dealers, did not comply with their obligations under Article 21(1)(a) of Directive 77/388/EEC to pay to the authorities the tax they had charged for their supplies. Enforcing collection of the tax in this sector is especially difficult because of the complications of identifying and supervising the activities of non-compliant traders. Hence these arrangements constitute an effective fraud-prevention measure.
(7) On 7 June 2000, the Commission published a strategy to improve the operation of the VAT system in the short term, in which it undertook to rationalise the large number of derogations currently in force. In some cases, however, this rationalisation could involve extending certain particularly effective derogations to all Member States. The Commission's communication of 20 October 2003 reiterates this compromise.
(8) The Kingdom of the Netherlands should be granted an extension for the current derogation until the date of entry into force of a special scheme for the application of VAT to the recycled waste sector, but not later than 31 December 2005.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1835/1999(2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) in order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1678/93 of 25 June 1993 opening and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products originating in Cyprus, Morocco, Israel, Tunisia and Egypt (1993/94)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Communty, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the relevant articles and the Additional Protocols to the Arrangements between the European Economic Community, on the one hand, and the Kingdom of Morocco (1), the State of Israel (2), the Tunisian Republic (3) and the Arab Republic of Egypt (4), on the other, and the Protocol defining the conditions and procedures for the implementation of the second stage of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus and adapting certain provisions of the Agreement (5) provide for the opening of Community tariff quotas for:
- 86 000 tonnes of tomatoes, fresh or chilled, falling within CN code ex 0702 00 10 originating in Morocco (15 November to 30 April), of which 15 000 tonnes in April,
- 300 tonnes of aubergines, falling within CN code ex 0709 30 00 originating in Cyprus (1 October to 30 November),
- 100 tonnes, 450 tonnes and 100 tonnes of Chinese cabbage, falling within CN code ex 0704 90 90 originating in Morocco, Israel and Cyprus respectively (1 November to 31 December),
- 100 tonnes, 250 tonnes and 100 tonnes of 'Iceberg' lettuce, falling within CN codes ex 0705 11 10 and ex 0705 11 90 originating in Morocco, Israel and Cyprus respectively (1 November to 31 December),
- 6 400 tonnes of beans, fresh or chilled, falling within CN code ex 0708 20 10 originating in Egypt (1 November to 30 April),
- 265 000 tonnes, 293 000 tonnes, 28 000 tonnes and 7 000 tonnes of oranges, fresh, falling within CN code ex 0805 10 originating in Morocco, Israel, Tunisia and Egypt respectively (1 July to 30 June),
- 14 200 tonnes and 110 000 tonnes of fresh mandarins, clementines, etc. falling within CN code ex 0805 20 originating in Israel and Morocco respectively (1 July to 30 June),
- 2 200 tonnes of strawberries, falling within CN code ex 0810 10 90, originating in Israel (1 November to 31 March);
Whereas, however, the quotas relating to Cyprus must be increased in equal steps of 5 % per annum, starting with the entry into force of the abovementioned Protocol, by virtue of its Articles 18 and 19; whereas for 1993 they will therefore be at the levels indicated in Article 1;
Whereas the volumes of the tariff quotas for the other countries covered by this Regulation must be increased annually by 3 or 5 % according to the products, in application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92 (6), amending the arrangements for the importation into the Community of certain agricultural products originating in Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, the Lebanon, Israel, Malta, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia;
Whereas, in application of the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1764/92, the customs duties applicable to products in question, originating in the Mediterranean third countries concerned, are abolished in the framework of these tariff quotas, to count from 1 January 1993;
Whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for the periods mentioned in Article 1; whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all importers of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted;
Whereas the decision for the opening, in the execution of its international obligations, of tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
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, any operation concerning the administration of these quotas may be carried out by any of its members,
The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below originating in Cyprus, Morocco, Israel, Tunisia and Egypt shall be suspended during the periods, at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below:
/* Tables: see OJ */
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to to ensure effective management thereof.
If an importer presents in a Member State a declaration of entry for free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the corresponding quota amount.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date of acceptance of the said declarations, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings shall be granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry for free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member States concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, the requests shall be met on a pro rata basis. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have equal and continuous access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota-volumes so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 December 1987
making an initial allocation to the Netherlands of part of the resources to be charged to the 1988 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most derived persons in the Community
(88/69/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 of 14 December 1987 laying down the detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas in order to implement the scheme for the supply of such food to that section of the population, to be financed from resources available in the 1988 budget year, it is necessary to allocate the resources between the Member States;
Whereas provisional statistical data concerning the needs under this action upon which the allocation between Member States may be made is now available, and that final data is expected to be available only in the first part of 1988;
Whereas, on 18 December 1987, the Netherlands requested Commission authorization to initiate the action on its territory and indicated the quantities of produce that it wished to distribute; whereas it is desirable to initiate the scheme now in those parts of the Community where implementation may commence at an earlier date than in other parts; whereas different starting dates must not lead to discrimination between the various parts of the Community; whereas this absence of discrimination can be ensured by making an initial partial allocation; whereas Decision 87/596/EEC (3) and Decision 88/68/EEC (4) have already been taken by the Commission to make initial partial allocations of resources to France and to Denmark, respectively;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 (4) of Regulation EEC no 3744/87, the Commission has sought the advice of major organizations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Community when drawing up this Decision,
1. An initial partial allocation of the resources referred to in Article 10 of Regulation No 3744/87 shall be made as follows:
- The Netherlands: 1,5 million ECU.
2. Subject to the limit set out in paragraph 1, the following quantities of produce may be withdrawn, from intervention, for distribution in the Netherlands
- up to 150 tonnes of butter,
- up to 300 tonnes of beef.
3. The withdrawals referred to in paragraph 2 may be made from 28 December 1987.
Further decisions shall be taken relating to the allocation of resources for all Member States, including the granting of additional resources to the Netherlands once the requirements are known.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

|
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2957/93 of 26 October 1993 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on certain imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in Thailand
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 (6) thereof,
After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for in that Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE (1) On 7 April 1990 the Commission published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) a notice of the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters, falling within CN code 9613 10 00 originating in Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand.
(2) The Commission conducted an examination of dumping and injury. All companies were informed of the essential facts of the results of the investigation and had an opportunity to comment on them. It was established that dumping was taking place, that injury was caused to the Community industry concerned by the dumped imports and that the Community's interests called for the imposition of definitive measures. Consequently, the Council imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 (3), a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Thailand. For one Thai producer, Thai Merry Co. Ltd, a dumping margin of 14,1 % was established, and, as the injury threshold for this company exceeded its dumping margin, duties could have been imposed at the level of the dumping margin. However, a price undertaking from this company was accepted by Commission Decision 91/604/EEC (4). The Council accordingly exempted imports of the product concerned produced by Thai Merry Co. Ltd from the definitive anti-dumping duty.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNDERTAKING (3) Thai Merry Co. Ltd has, by correspondance dated 18 August 1993, withdrawn its undertaking. Accordingly, the exemption from the said anti-dumping duty of the imports of the product concerned produced by Thai Merry Co. Ltd is no longer justified.
The exporter has, according to Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, been informed of the Commission's intention to apply provisional anti-dumping duties on the basis of the facts established before the acceptance of the undertaking and has been offered the opportunity to comment. No comments relevant to the imposition of provisional duties were received within the time period allowed.
C. COMMUNITY INTEREST (4) The Commission has no reason to believe that the findings concerning Community interest expressed in Regulation (EEC) No 3433/91 warrant amendment. In addition, not imposing provisional duties on Thai Merry Co. Ltd would be discriminatory towards those exporters on which measures are still in force. Since no arguments that such measures would not be in the Community interest have been put forward, it is considered that the Community's interests call for the immediate application of provisional measures.
D. PROVISIONAL DUTIES (5) According to Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, provisional anti-dumping duties should be applied on the basis of the facts established before the acceptance of the undertaking. The level of the provisional anti-dumping duty should therefore be set at a rate of 14,1 %,
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters, falling within CN code ex 9613 10 00 (Taric code 9613 10 00 * 10), originating in Thailand, and produced by Thai Merry Co. Ltd. (Taric additional code: 8740)
2. The rate of the duty shall be 14,1 %, applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price before duty.
3. The entry into free circulation in the Community of the product referred to in paragraph 1 into shall be conditional upon the deposit of security for the amount of the provisional duty.
4. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the parties concerned may make known their views in writing and apply to be heard orally by the Commission within one month of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Subject to Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, Article 1 of this Regulation shall apply for a period of four months, unless the Council adopts definitive measures bevore the expiry of that period.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the markets in processed fruit and vegetables products (1), and in particular Article 9 (8) thereof,

of 20 September 2007
on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the September 2007 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 of 22 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of import quotas for rice originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (3), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 opens an annual overall tariff quota for the import of 160 000 tonnes of rice, in husked-rice equivalent, comprising 125 000 tonnes originating in the ACP States (serial number 09.4187), 25 000 tonnes originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba (serial number 09.4189) and 10 000 tonnes originating in the least developed OCTs (serial number 09.4190), and an annual tariff quota of 20 000 tonnes of broken rice originating in the ACP States (serial number 09.4188).
(2) For these quotas, provided for in Article 1(1)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006, the third subperiod is the month of September.
(3) The information provided in accordance with Article 17(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 shows that in the case of the quota with serial number 09.4187 applications lodged during the first five working days of September 2007 in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 13 of that Regulation cover a quantity in husked-rice equivalent greater than the quantity available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quota in question.
(4) The above information also shows that in the case of the quotas with serial numbers 09.4189 — 09.4190 applications lodged during the first five working days of September 2007 in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 13 of that Regulation cover a quantity in husked-rice equivalent less than the quantity available.
(5) In accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006, the total quantities available for the next subperiod should therefore be laid down,
1. For import licence applications for rice under the quota[s] with serial number 09.4187 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 lodged during the first five working days of September 2007, licences shall be issued for the quantities applied for, multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. The total quantities available under the quotas with serial numbers 09.4187 — 09.4188 — 09.4189 — 09.4190 as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2021/2006 for the next subperiod shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 19 December 2012
on temporary measures relating to the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic
(ECB/2012/32)
(2012/839/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1, Article 12.1, Article 18 and the second indent of Article 34.1,
Having regard to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1), and in particular Section 1.6 and Sections 6.3.1, 6.3.2 and 6.4.2 of Annex I thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (NCBs) may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.
(2) Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations. Pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Eurosystem reserves the right to determine whether an issue, issuer, debtor or guarantor fulfils its requirements for high standards on the basis of any information it may consider relevant.
(3) Decision ECB/2012/3 of 5 March 2012 on the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic in the context of the Hellenic Republic’s debt exchange offer (2) temporarily suspended the Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality thresholds applicable to marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic, declaring them eligible for the duration of the collateral enhancement provided by the Hellenic Republic to the NCBs. On termination of the collateral enhancement, given that the adequacy as collateral of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic was at the time not ensured, the Governing Council adopted Decision ECB/2012/14 (3) repealing Decision ECB/2012/3 with effect from 25 July 2012, thereby making such instruments ineligible.
(4) The Governing Council has now taken into consideration the positive assessment by the Eurogroup of the policy package for the first review of the Second Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece.
(5) The Governing Council considers this policy package to be appropriate, so that the marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic have a quality standard sufficient to warrant their eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of any external credit assessment.
(6) The Governing Council has therefore decided to restore the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic for Eurosystem’s monetary policy operations, subject to applying specific haircuts to such instruments different from those provided for in Section 6.4.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14.
(7) This exceptional measure will apply temporarily until the Governing Council considers that the normal application of the Eurosystem’s eligibility criteria and risk control framework for monetary policy operations can be reintroduced,
Suspension of certain provisions of Guideline ECB/2011/14 and eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic
1. The Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality, as specified in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework rules for certain marketable assets in Section 6.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall be suspended for marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic.
2. Marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic shall constitute eligible collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations, subject to the specific haircuts set out in the Annex to this Decision.
3. In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and Guideline ECB/2011/14, this Decision shall prevail.
Entry into force
This Decision shall enter into force on 21 December 2012.

amending Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 as regards the forecast supply balance for the French overseas departments and Madeira in the processed fruit and vegetables sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the French overseas departments, amending Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom)(1), and in particular Article 3(6) thereof,

Whereas:
(1) Part 3 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 of 20 January 2003 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the supply of certain essential products for human consumption, for processing and as agricultural inputs and for the supply of live animals and eggs to the outermost regions under Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1493/2003(4), lays down a forecast supply balance and fixes Community aid for the supply of products processed from fruit and vegetables for the French overseas departments.
(2) The forecast supply balance provides for an annual quantity of 300 tonnes of fruit pulp falling within CN code 2008 and 170 tonnes of concentrated fruit juice falling within CN code 2009 for all the French overseas departments. The current state of implementation of the balance in those regions and the anticipated supply requirements for the second half of 2003 show that the quantities fixed for the supply of these two product categories fall short of requirements.
(3) By letter dated 8 July 2003, therefore, the French authorities submitted a request for adjustment of the balance in order to meet the supply needs of the overseas departments.
(4) Part 4 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 lays down the forecast supply balance and fixes the Community aid for the supply of products processed from fruit and vegetables for Madeira and the Azores.
(5) The forecast supply balance provides for an annual quantity of 400 tonnes of fruit falling within CN code 2008 for Madeira. The current state of implementation of the balance in Madeira shows that the quantity fixed for the supply of this product category falls short of requirements.
(6) By letter dated 6 August 2003, therefore, the Portuguese authorities submitted a request for adjustment of the balance for Madeira in order to meet Madeira's supply needs.
(7) Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and Vegetables,
Regulation (EC) No 98/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Annex I, part 3 is replaced by the text in Annex I hereto.
2. In Annex III, part 4, the table covering Madeira is replaced by the table in Annex II hereto.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002 of 5 September 2002 on a special intervention measure for cereals in Finland and Sweden(6), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of oats produced in Finland and Sweden for export from Finland or Sweden to all third countries was opened pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002, except for Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia und Hungary.
(2) Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3146/94, processed products produced from delivered fattened pigs should be exported before 1 July 1995; whereas it is appropriate to allow the continuation of these exports beyond that date, taking into account the present animal health situation and the fact that the volume of these exports remains insignificant in comparison to the total exports of processed products;
Whereas new outbreaks of classical swine fever took place in the district of Diepholz in Lower Saxony; whereas it is therefore appropriate to include this area in the support measures provided for by Regulation (EC) No 3146/94;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
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,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2007/716/EC (2) lays down transitional measures for structural requirements of certain establishments in the meat and milk sectors in Bulgaria provided for in Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council. As long as those establishments are in transition, products originating from them are only to be placed on the domestic market or used for further processing in Bulgarian establishments in transition.
(2) According to an official declaration from the Bulgarian competent authority, certain establishments in the meat and milk sectors have ceased their activities or have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with Community legislation. Those establishments should therefore be deleted from the list of establishments in transition.
(3) The Annex to Decision 2007/716/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

amending Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 introducing a specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 36 and 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1577/96(4) introduced a specific measure in respect of certain grain legumes.
(2) The markets for the crops covered by the said measure are different, namely animal feed for vetches and human food for lentils and chickpeas. Because the maximum area system applied to those crops taken together hitherto has not made it possible to manage properly the development of land under crops by reason, in particular, of the increase in the area under vetches since application of the system started. As a result, the maximum guaranteed area should be subdivided so as better to direct grain-legume production in the Community.
(3) The maintenance of crops of grain legumes such as lentils, chickpeas and vetches is in the Community economic interest, both as regards the use made of the products and their suitability for the production areas. Given the deficit in protein crops in the European Union, the Commission should examine the possibilities for improving the system without cutting the level of aid.
(4) For the purposes of applying the system, the Management Committee for Dried Fodder set up by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 603/95(5) should be replaced by the Management Committee for Cereals set up by Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92(6).
(5) It is appropriate that before the end of the 2002/2003 marketing year, the Commission should produce a report on the application of the present system, accompanied, where necessary, by appropriate proposals.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 should therefore be amended,
Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 is amended as follows:
1. Article 3 shall be replaced by the following:
"Article 3
1. Where the areas for which aid is requested under this Regulation exceed the maximum guaranteed areas fixed in paragraph 2, the aid to be paid for the marketing year concerned shall be reduced proportionately.
2. The maximum guaranteed areas shall be fixed at 160000 hectares for lentils and chickpeas, and 240000 hectares for the vetches referred to in point (c) of Article 1. Where a maximum area is not reached during a marketing year, the unused balance shall be reallocated to the other maximum guaranteed area for that marketing year before an overrun occurs."
2. In Article 6:
(a) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:
"1. The Commission shall lay down detailed rules of application in accordance with the procedure defined in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92(7). In accordance with that procedure, the Commission shall determine the overruns in the maximum guaranteed areas and shall fix the definitive aid by no later than 15 November of the marketing year in question.";
(b) paragraph 3 shall be replaced by the following:
"3. By the end of the marketing year 2002/2003 at the latest, the Commission shall submit a report on the application of this system, accompanied, if necessary, by appropriate proposals."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from the 2000/2001 marketing year.

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 70/97 provides in its Articles 1 and 4 an exemption from customs duties in the framework of tariff ceilings for the products originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia listed in its Annexes C; whereas Article 4(3) provides that the Commission may, as soon as a tariff ceiling is reached, adopt a Regulation re-introducing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of imports of the products concerned;

Whereas the levying of customs duties for these products should therefore be re-established,
From 26 September until 31 December 1998, the levying of normal customs duties shall be re-introduced on imports into the Community for products listed in the Annex and originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, for which a tariff ceiling was opened by Regulation (EC) No 70/97.

No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type approval or national type approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to the permissible sound level or the exhaust system if its sound level and exhaust system satisfy the requirements set out in the Annex.
The amendments necessary for adjusting the requirements of the Annex so as to take account of technical progress, with the exception of the requirements set out under items 1.1 and 1.4.1.4, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of the Council Directive on the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.
1. Member States shall put into force the provisions containing the requirements needed in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes cypermethrin.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, cypermethrin has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 8 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Belgium was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 5 March 2010 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 12 July 2013, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used for product-type 8 and containing cypermethrin may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve cypermethrin for use in biocidal products for product-type 8.
(7) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Cypermethrin shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 8, subject to the specifications and conditions 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.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 of 2 December 1975 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 22 September 1978, the German Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Burroughs - B7700 Information Processing System", intended for use in data-processing operations in the context of tutorial and research projects in the fields of construction, surveying, electrical and aerospace engineering, computer technology, educational theory, economics and organization, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 7 February 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an information processing system in current use which does not have any special characteristics rendering it specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it can used in very many areas of data processing ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of an apparatus specifically suited to pure scientific research ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Burroughs - B7700 Information Processing System" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

granting Malta a derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2006) 5642)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2006/859/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC (1), and in particular Article 26(1) thereof,
Having regard to the application submitted by Malta on 15 November 2005,
After informing the Member States of the application,
Whereas:
(1) On 15 November 2005, Malta submitted an application to the Commission for a derogation for an indefinite period of time from the provisions of Chapter IV of Directive 2003/54/EC and from Article 20(1) and Article 21(1) thereof. Express authority for the submission of such an application is contained in Article 26(1) of that Directive.
(2) Malta qualifies as a ‘small isolated system’ as defined in point (26) of Article 2 of Directive 2003/54/EC. According to that provision, ‘small isolated system’ means any system with consumption of less than 3 000 GWh in 1996, where less than 5 % of annual consumption is obtained through interconnection with other systems. In 1996, Malta consumed 1 695 GWh. Malta is an isolated not interconnected power system and these derogations are requested for as long as it remains an isolated system.
(3) The documents annexed to the application provide sufficient evidence that it is impossible or impractical for the time being to achieve the objective of a competitive market in electricity given the size and structure of the electricity market on the island. In such circumstances an opening up of the market would create substantial problems relating in particular to the security of supply of electricity and would result in higher costs for consumers. In addition, there is no transmission system and therefore no operator can be designated; without competition in supply, there also ceases to be justification for the requirements of Directive 2003/54/EC regarding third party access to distribution systems.
(4) The Commission, having examined the grounds put forward in support of Malta's application, is satisfied that the derogation and the conditions for its application will not prejudice the eventual achievement of the objectives of Directive 2003/54/EC.
(5) The derogation requested by Malta should therefore be granted.
(6) However, whilst Malta’s application gives a fair description of the present situation, it does not take into consideration possible technological developments in the medium- and long-term, which are liable to lead to substantial changes. The situation should therefore be monitored regularly,
A derogation from Chapter IV of Directive 2003/54/EC and from Article 20(1) and Article 21(1) thereof is granted to Malta.
The derogation may be withdrawn or revised by the Commission if substantial changes occur in the electricity sector of Malta.
To that end, Malta shall monitor the evolution of the electricity sector and shall report to the Commission any substantial changes therein, in particular information on new generating licenses, new entrants in the market and new infrastructure plans that may necessitate a review of the derogation.
In addition, Malta shall submit a general report to the Commission every two years, starting no later than 31 December 2008. The reports shall set out tarification and pricing policy together with measures taken to protect customers’ interests in the light of the derogation.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Malta.

(2) For a number of substance/product type combinations included in that list, the original participants discontinued their participation in the review programme.
(3) Consequently, and pursuant to Articles 11(2), 12(1) and 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the Commission informed the Member States thereof. That information was also made public by electronic means on 14 June 2006.
(4) Within the period of three months from that publication, other persons indicated an interest in taking over the role of participant for some substance/product type combinations.
(5) Commission Decision 2007/794/EC (3) fixed the new deadline for the submission of a complete dossier to 30 April 2008 for these substance/product type combinations.
(6) No complete dossiers were however received within this time period for certain of these substance/product type combinations.
(7) Pursuant to Articles 12(4) and 12(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the substances should therefore not be included for the product-types concerned in Annexes I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a new use the preparation benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of the preparation of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) was authorised for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 (2).
(5) New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for pigs for fattening. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 7 March 2007 that benzoic acid (VevoVitall) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (3). It further concluded that benzoic acid (VevoVitall) does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation does not have an adverse effect on this additional animal. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) 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 preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1183/2003(4), and in particular Article 92(1) and Article 93(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 lays down, inter alia, the detailed rules for disposing of stocks of alcohol obtained from distillation under Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and held by the intervention agencies.
(2) Public sales of wine alcohol for use in the fuel sector in the Community should be organised with a view to reducing Community stocks of wine alcohol and to some extent ensuring supplies to firms approved under Article 92(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000. Community stocks of wine alcohol held by the Member States come from distillation under Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organisation of the market in wine(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1677/1999(6), and under Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.
(3) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(7), the selling price and securities must be expressed, and payments made, in euro.
(4) Given that there are risks of fraud by substitution of alcohol, it would appear necessary to reinforce checks on the final destination of the alcohol, allowing the intervention agencies to call on the help of international control agencies and to check the alcohol sold by means of nuclear magnetic resonance analyses.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Four lots of alcohol (references 22/2003 EC, 23/2003 EC, 24/2003 EC and 25/2003 EC) comprising 260000 hectolitres, 350000 hectolitres, 50000 hectolitres and 29000 hectolitres respectively at 100 % vol. are hereby put up for public sale for use in the fuel sector within the Community. The alcohol has been obtained from distillation as provided for in Articles 35, 36 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and Articles 27, 28 and 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 and is held by the Spanish and Italian intervention agencies.
The location and references of the vats making up the lots, the quantity of alcohol in each vat, the alcoholic strength and the characteristics of the alcohol are as set out in the Annex hereto. The lots shall be awarded to the four firms approved under Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.
All communications concerning this public sale shall be sent to the following Commission department: Commission of the European Communities Directorate-General for Agriculture, Unit D-4 Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 B - 1049 Brussels Fax: (32-2) 295 92 52 E-mail address: [email protected]
The public sales shall take place in accordance with Articles 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 100 and 101 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98.
The price of the alcohol for public sale shall be EUR 19 per hectolitre of alcohol at 100 % vol.
The alcohol must be removed no more than eight months after the date of notification of the Commission's decision to award the sale.
The performance security shall be EUR 30 per hectolitre of alcohol at 100 % vol. Unless a standing guarantee is provided, before removing any alcohol and by the day of issue of the removal order at the latest, the firms awarded the lots shall lodge a performance security with the intervention agency concerned to ensure that the alcohol in question is used as bioethanol in the fuel sector.
Against payment of EUR 10 per litre and within 30 days of the publication of the notice of public sale, the firms approved under Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 may obtain samples of the alcohol put up for sale from the intervention agency concerned.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof, in conjunction with the second subparagraph of Article 300(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Council decided on 19 March 2001 to authorise the Commission to negotiate on behalf of the European Community, the accession of the European Community to the World Customs Organisation (1).
(2) The Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council is expected to be amended by the Council of the World Customs Organisation at its 109th/110th session in June 2007 to allow customs or economic unions, including the European Community to acquire membership of the World Customs Organisation.
(3) The Member States of the European Community should support that draft amendment which, after its adoption by the Council of the World Customs Organisation, would allow the Community’s accession to the amended Convention.
(4) Following exploratory talks with the World Customs Organisation, the European Community and the World Customs Organisation examined the possibility for the European Community to exercise the rights and obligations akin to those of Members of the World Customs Organisation pending the ratification of the amended Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council by all Members of the World Customs Organisation.

(7) Both the European Community and its Member States have competence in the areas covered by the Convention establishing a Customs Cooperation Council.

(9) In view of the above the Council should provide for the exercise of rights and obligations akin to membership ad interim by the European Community in the World Customs Organisation, including the payment of an annual contribution,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 May 2012
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China
(2012/265/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 16 June 2011, the European Commission (‘Commission’) received a complaint concerning the alleged injurious dumping of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’), lodged pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation by the Glass Fibre Fabrics Defence Coalition (‘GFFDC’ or ‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 25 %, of the total Union production of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics.
(2) The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(3) On 28 July 2011, the Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the PRC.
(4) The Commission officially advised the exporters/producers in the PRC, importers, users and any associations known to be concerned, the authorities of the PRC and all known Union producers of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(5) All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(6) By a letter of 12 March 2012 to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.
(7) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.
(8) The investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would be against the Union interest. Therefore the Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. Comments were received from one interested party. However, these comments did not alter the finding that the termination of the proceeding would not be against the Union interest.
(9) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain woven and/or stitched glass fibre fabrics originating in the PRC should be terminated,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of fabrics of woven or stitched or woven and stitched continuous filament glass fibre rovings, excluding products which are impregnated or pre-impregnated (pre-preg), and excluding open mesh fabrics with cells with a size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2 originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex 7019 39 00, ex 7019 40 00 and ex 7019 90 00, is hereby terminated.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(3) On 22 July 2002 the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1425 (2002), extending the arms embargo by prohibiting the direct or indirect supply to Somalia of technical advice, financial and other assistance, and training related to military activities.
(4) Certain of these measures fall under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the relevant decisions of the Security Council as far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.
(5) The Commission and the Member States should inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, and cooperate with the Committee established by paragraph 11 of Resolution 733 (1992), in particular by supplying information to it.
(6) Violations of the provisions of this Regulation should be subject to sanctions and Member States should impose appropriate sanctions to that end. It is, moreover, desirable that sanctions for violations of the provisions of this Regulation can be imposed on the date of entry into force of this Regulation and that Member States institute proceedings against any persons, entities or bodies under their jurisdiction that have violated any of the provisions,
Without prejudice to the powers of the Member States in the exercise of their public authority, it shall be prohibited:

- the provision of technical advice, assistance or training related to such non-lethal equipment,
if such activities have been approved in advance by the Committee established by paragraph 11 of Resolution 751 (1992) of the Security Council of the United Nations.

This Regulation shall apply notwithstanding any rights conferred or obligations imposed by any international agreement signed or any contract entered into or any licence or permit granted before the entry into force of this Regulation.
1. Each Member State shall determine the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of this Regulation are infringed. Such sanctions shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Pending the adoption, where necessary, of any legislation to this end, the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of this Regulation are infringed shall, where relevant, be those determined by the Member States in order to give effect to Article 7 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1318/2002 of 22 July 2002 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Liberia(2).
2. Each Member State shall be responsible for bringing proceedings against any natural or legal person, entity or body under its jurisdiction, in cases of violation of any of the prohibitions laid down in this Regulation by such person, entity or body.
This Regulation shall apply
- within the territory of the Community, including its airspace,
- on board any aircraft or any vessel under the jurisdiction of a Member State,
- to any person elsewhere who is a national of a Member State, and
- to any legal person, entity or body which is incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State.
