(2014/696/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (1), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 (2), and in particular Article 23, second paragraph, thereof,

Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (4), and in particular point 13 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:

|
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2001
of 27 September 2001
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2390/2000(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. Whereas it is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. Whereas the fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Now that a settlement has been reached between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States and has been approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC(7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 87/1999(9), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 September 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) The Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Republic of India on arrangements in the area of market access for textiles products, initialled on 31 December 1994(3) (the Memorandum of Understanding) provides that favourable consideration shall be given to certain requests for "exceptional flexibility" by India.
(2) The Republic of India made a request on 28 January 2000.
(3) The transfers requested by the Republic of India fall within the limits of the flexibility provisions referred to in Article 7 and set out in Annex VIII of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.
(4) Pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Memorandum of Understanding, India made on 1 December 1999 a notification to the WTO for the binding of the customs duties for the tariff lines agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding.
(5) The notification by India of 1 December 1999 is not fully consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding. However, consultations between the two parties have led to mutual clarifications. It is therefore appropriate to grant the request partially and to release the remainder of the exceptional flexibilities as soon as India amends its notification to the WTO for those tariff lines for which India has announced that it will introduce maximum customs duties.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textiles Management Committee provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93,
Transfers between the quantitative limits for textile goods originating in the Republic of India are authorised for the quota year 2000 as detailed in the Annex to this Regulation.

(4) Directive 98/79/EC provides that Member States are to presume compliance with the essential requirements in respect of devices designed and manufactured in conformity with common technical specifications drawn up for certain devices in the highest risk category. These specifications are to establish appropriate performance evaluation and re-evaluation criteria, batch release criteria, reference methods and reference materials.
(5) Manufacturers are, as a general rule, to be required to comply with the common technical specifications. If, for duly justified reasons, manufacturers do not comply with those specifications they must adopt solutions of a level at least equivalent thereto.

Whereas one consequence of the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1875/94 is to reduce consumption aid for olive oil from ECU 39,58 per 100 kilograms to ECU 10 per 100 kilograms as from 1 November 1994;
Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1875/94 provides for the possibility of specific measures necessary being adopted to resolve temporary problems arising from such a reduction;
Whereas such problems, and in particular disturbance on the market as a result of the pressure on market preparation companies to place as much olive oil as possible on the market before 1 November 1994, can be foreseen; whereas temporary specific measures should therefore be adopted to prevent such a situation by allowing olive oil put up for and placed on the market during November 1994 to be eligible for consumption aid at the rate applicable on 31 October 1994; whereas a maximum limit should be set on the quantities eligible based on the quantities leaving the market preparation plant in October and November of the previous two years;
Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats did not deliver an opinion within the period set by its chairman,
1. The quantities of olive oil put up for and placed on the market in November 1994 in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 (2) up to the limit referred to in paragraph 2 shall be eligible for consumption aid at the rate applicable on 31 October 1994.
2. The quantities referred to in paragraph 1 shall be limited for each market preparation plant to the average quantities leaving the plant in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3089/78 each month during October and November of the previous two years.
However, in the case of market preparation plants commencing operations after 1 October 1992, those quantities shall be limited to the average quantities leaving the plant each month starting from the date of the granting of the agreement, until the end of August 1994.
3. Paragraph 1 shall apply only to olive oil produced at the latest in the 1993/94 marketing year.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas the 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976 versions of the abovementioned laws, regulations and administrative provisions and the law on the gradual incorporation of old-age pensions into financial assistance for farmers (seventh amending law pursuant to the law concerning financial assistance for elderly farmers of 19 December 1973), which governs inter alia the introduction of the annuity mentioned in Article 2 (1) (a) of Directive 72/160/EEC, were the subject of Commission Decisions 74/185/EEC (1), 74/268/EEC (2), 75/476/EEC (3), 76/122/EEC (4), 76/374/EEC (5) and 77/57/EEC (6);
Whereas the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany also forwarded, pursuant to Article 2 of Commission Decision 74/185/EEC of 13 March 1974 and Article 2 of Commission Decision 77/57/EEC of 22 December 1976, a report on the application of the principles for the granting of investment aid in individual combined farming and forestry undertakings and in individual forestry undertakings;
Whereas, under Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC and Article 9 (3) of Directive 72/160/EEC, the Commission must decide whether, having regard to the compatibility of the provisions notified with those Directives and with Directive 75/268/EEC and to the objectives of the said Directives and to the need for a proper connection between the various measures, the conditions for continued financial contribution by the Community in 1977 are satisfied; (1)OJ No L 94, 4.4.1974, p. 22. (2)OJ No L 141, 24.5.1974, p. 7. (3)OJ No L 212, 9.8.1975, p. 13. (4)OJ No L 18, 17.1.1976, p. 25. (5)OJ No L 102, 15.4.1976, p. 21. (6)OJ No L 11, 14.1.1977, p. 27.
Whereas, subject to the reservations already set out in Commission Decision 74/185/EEC relating to the principles for the granting of investment aid in individual combined farming and forestry undertakings and in individual forestry undertakings, the provisions notified are consistent with the objectives of Directives 72/159/EEC, 72/160/EEC and 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the report from the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to above showed that in 1976 also less than 1 % of all aided farms received aid under the aforesaid principles, and, consequently, that the measure concerned, which does not comply with the requirements of Article 14 (2) of Directive 72/159/EEC, has only very little practical significance ; whereas the achievement of the objectives of the Directive was therefore hardly at all affected thereby in 1976;
Whereas the Community must, however, remain in a position to ascertain that the measure does not acquire special significance which might endanger the achievement of the objectives of the Directives;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
The abovementioned provisions for the implementation in the Federal Republic of Germany in respect of the year 1977 of Directives 72/159/EEC, 72/160/EEC and 75/268/EEC satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures as referred to in Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC, Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC and Article 6 of Directive 72/160/EEC.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany shall forward to the Commission not later than 31 March 1978 the report for 1977 referred to in Article 2 of Commission Decision 74/185/EEC of 13 March 1974.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 30 January 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles which contain vinyl chloride monomer and are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (78/142/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/893/EEC of 23 November 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 2 of Directive 76/893/EEC provides that materials and articles must not transfer any constituents to foodstuffs in quantities which could endanger human health;
Whereas Article 3 of the same Directive provides that the Council, under the procedure provided for in Article 100 of the Treaty, shall adopt by means of Directives special provisions applicable to certain groups of materials and articles (specific Directives) ; whereas these provisions may include specific limits on the migration of certain constituents into or onto foodstuffs as well as other rules to ensure compliance with Article 2 of the said Directive;
Whereas the administration of large doses of vinyl chloride monomer to experimental animals has been shown to produce harmful effects ; whereas such effects could also occur in man;
Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food has given the opinion that the levels of vinyl chloride monomer in polyvinyl chloride and related polymers should be reduced as far as possible and at the same time recommended that no trace of vinyl chloride should be detectable in food or potable water by a method which can be generally applied to the majority of foodstuffs by most laboratories;
Whereas further research is at present being conducted on vinyl chloride monomer, but as a precaution the ingestion of vinyl chloride monomer should be restricted until the results are known;
Whereas the appropriate instrument for attaining this objective is a specific Directive within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 76/893/EEC, the general provisions of which also become applicable in this particular case;
Whereas, however, this Directive does not concern all aspects of materials and articles prepared from vinyl chloride polymers or copolymers and the Member States should therefore be authorized not to require that labels carry the particulars laid down in Article 7 of Directive 76/893/EEC, in accordance with the opinions provided for in paragraphs 4 and 5 of that Article,
1. This Directive is a specific Directive within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 76/893/EEC.
2. This Directive concerns the presence of vinyl chloride monomer in, and possible migration from, materials and articles prepared with vinyl chloride polymers or copolymers, hereinafter called "materials and articles", which in their finished state are intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, or which are in contact with foodstuffs and are intended for that purpose.
1. Materials and articles must not contain vinyl chloride monomer in a quantity exceeding that laid down in Annex I.
2. Materials and articles must not pass on to foodstuffs which are in or have been brought into contact with such materials and articles any vinyl chloride detectable by the method which complies with the criteria laid down in Annex II. (1)OJ No L 340, 9.12.1976, p. 19. (2)OJ No C 118, 16.5.1977, p. 70. (3)OJ No C 114, 11.5.1977, p. 13.
The method of analysis necessary for checking compliance with Article 2 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10 of Directive 76/893/EEC and shall comply with the criteria laid down in Annex II.
The Council shall review this Directive on the basis of reports from the Commission drawn up in the light of scientific and technical knowledge becoming available after adoption of the Directive and accompanied, where appropriate, by suitable proposals. The first report from the Commission shall be forwarded to the Council not later than 1 January 1979.
This Directive shall not affect national provisions relating to other possible rules provided for in Article 3 of Directive 76/893/EEC or the options afforded to Member States under Article 7 (4) and (5) of that Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed in order to comply with this Directive not later than 26 November 1979. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States may defer the introduction of Article 2 (2) and Annex II until such time as a Community method of analysis, as required by Article 3, has been adopted.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 2 February 1995 amending Decision 93/231/EEC, authorizing, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of the territory of certain Member States, more stringent measures against certain diseases than are provided for in Annexes I and II to Council Directive 66/403/EEC (95/21/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/403/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of seed potatoes (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/3/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by Portugal,
Whereas the Commission by its Decision 93/231/EEC (3), has authorized, in respect of the marketing of seed potatoes in all or part of the territory of certain Member States, more stringent measures against certain diseases than are provided for in Annexes I and II to Directive 66/403/EEC;
Whereas, from a comparison of the measures taken by Portugal in relation to areas in the Azores above 300 metres in altitude in respect of their home production of seed potatoes and the Community EEC grades of basic seed potatoes, it can be assumed that:
- 'EEC grade 1` satisfies more stringent conditions,
- 'EEC grade 2` is equivalent to home production intended for seed potatoes, and
- 'EEC grade 3` is equivalent to home production intended for potato production;
Whereas Portugal, for areas in the Azores above 300 metres in altitude, should therefore be authorized to restrict the marketing of seed potatoes only to the Community's basic potato grades established by Commission Directive 93/17/EEC (4);
Whereas such authorization is in accordance with Member States' obligations under the common rules on plant health laid down by Council Directive 77/93/EEC (5), as last amended by Directive 94/13/EC (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

COMMISSION DECISION of 22 December 1995 on a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet of Sweden for the period 1995 to 1996 pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 (Only the Swedish text is authentic) (96/74/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3699/93 of 21 December 1993 laying down the criteria and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the processing and marketing of its products (1), and particular Article 6 (5) and (6) thereof,
Whereas in the application of the provisions of Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 (2) the Council adopted Decision 95/577/EC (3) relating to the objectives and detailed rules for restructuring the fisheries sector in Sweden and Finland over the period 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1996 with a view to achieving a lasting balance between the resources and their exploitation;
Whereas account must be taken of an annual increase of 2 % in fishing effort linked to technical progress;
Whereas, in order to attain the objectives of the programme, it may be necessary to take steps to influence all the parameters connected with fishing mortality, particularly the capacity and activity of the fleet; whereas, however, structural measures must be focused chiefly on the elimination of excess capacity;
Whereas the data on the fleet for the purposes of this programme are gathered according to the procedures laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 109/94 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in the present Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet for the period 1995 to 1996 is hereby approved subject to the conditions laid down in this Decision and provided that those conditions are met.
In order to ensure a durable balance between fishery resources and the fishing effort of the Community fleet, Sweden has segmented its fishing fleet as shown in the Annex. The following coefficients shall be applied to the effort of the segments thus obtained:
- 8 % to segments practising bottom trawling in teams or using an otter trawl and fishing for demersal stocks,
- 6 % to dredgers and beam trawlers for benthic stocks,
- 0 % i.e. zero growth in other segments.
These reductions shall apply to the situation of the fleet at 1 January 1995 as indicated by the data collected according to the procedures laid down by Regulation (EC) No 109/94.
1. The reduction in fishing effort may result from the combined effect of reductions in capacity and reductions in activity.
2. At least 55 % of the overall objective of the programme, defined as the sum of the partial objectives for each segment, must be achieved by means of reductions in capacity.
3. The remainder may be achieved by means of measures to reduce activity, such as restrictions in time at sea, provided that they are based on permanent laws and administrative provisions accepted by the Commission and techniques approved by the Commission.
4. The final objectives for each segment and the annual intermediate indicative objectives shall be determined in accordance with points 2 and 4 of the additional provisions in the Annex.
At the latest by 31 March of each year for the previous year ending on 31 December, Sweden shall forward to the Commission, in respect of each segment of the fishing fleet defined in the Annex, information on the number of vessels commissioned, the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn, as the case may by, and the fishing effort by homogeneous groups of vessels, with their annual variations, pursuant to the special provisions of the programme.
Such information shall tally with the information forwarded in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 109/94 concerning the fishing vessel register of the Community.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Sweden.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 dimethylglycine sodium salt. 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 dimethylglycine sodium salt as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 7 December 2010 (2) that dimethylglycine sodium salt, under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment, and that this additive has the potential to significantly improve body weight gain and feed to gain ratio in chickens for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of dimethylglycine sodium salt shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) 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 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 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 3 July 1979, the Italian Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard computing calculator, model HP 9825A" used for research in the electron-spin resonance sector and, in particular, for the study of the structure and reactivity of free radicals and of ion-pairs in solution, in the context of the study of the influence of these pairs on the mechanisms of chemical reactions, 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 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 November 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a computer used for the collection, the conversion and the analysis of data;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind is principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard computing calculator, model HP 9825A" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2002(3) sets the quantities for which A1 export licences, other than those requested in the context of food aid, may be issued.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 sets the conditions under which special measures may be taken by the Commission with a view to avoiding an overrun of the quantities for which A1 licences may be issued.
(3) The Commission has received information which indicates that those quantities, reduced or increased by the quantities referred to in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, would be exceeded if A1 licences were issued without restriction for shelled almonds in response to applications submitted since 5 November 2002. Therefore, one percentage should be fixed for the issuing of licences for quantities applied for on 5 November 2002 and applications for A1 licences submitted later in that application period should be rejected,
A1 export licences for shelled almonds for which applications were submitted on 5 November 2002 pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1109/2002 shall be issued for 94,7 % of the quantities applied for.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,

Whereas, by Decision 89/27/EEC (3), the Council adopted the second phase of the programme for cooperation between universities and industry regarding training in the field of technology (Comett II) (1990-1994);
Whereas, by Decision of 22 May 1989, the Council adopted the opening of the Comett II programme to the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries and Article 1 of that Decision authorizes the Commission to negotiate - with those EFTA countries which so wish - cooperation agreements in the field of training in technology in the context of the implementation of Comett II;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Harmonised rules for organic livestock production are still quite recent and with the current development of this sector there is still not a sufficient range of biodiversity of organically reared livestock available on the market. Hence, there is still a need to facilitate the development of the organic livestock production.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2003 (2), which amended Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, extended the transitional period for bringing conventional animals into the organic farming system until 31 December 2004. However, this extension has proved not to be sufficient in particular in the case of poultry production, which comprises different stages where different specialised sectors are involved.
(3) There is, therefore, still a need for reliance on non-organically reared animals. The provisions on the origin of the animals should be adapted accordingly.
(4) Although it is already possible to reinforce the provisions on the origin of pullets for egg production, production standards for these animals have not been harmonised yet. Until such standards are established, it is appropriate to permit bringing non-organically reared pullets for egg production of not more than 18 weeks into an organic livestock unit when organically reared pullets are not available, under certain conditions applying prior to bringing these animals into the organic farming system.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Considering the urgency of the measure due to the fact that certain provisions on the origin of animals expire on 31 December 2004, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2005.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 of 19 December 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application in the beef and veal sector of Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States)(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products. However, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries.
(2) The applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 February 2004, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the quantities available from those States. It is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities applied for.
(3) The quantities in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 March 2004 should be fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52100 tonnes.
(4) This Regulation is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(4),

of 11 July 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on shipments of waste to include certain mixtures of wastes in Annex IIIA thereto
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (1), and in particular point (c) of Article 58(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Finland submitted a request to the Commission that mixtures of wastes classified under Basel entries B3040 and B3080 be considered for inclusion in Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006.
(2) The United Kingdom submitted a request to the Commission that mixtures of wastes classified under Basel entry B3020 be considered for inclusion in Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006.
(3) The Commission received comments from Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Finland and Sweden with regard to the acceptability of mixing waste corresponding to different indents or sub-indents of Basel entries B1010, B2010, B2030, B3010, B3020, B3030, B3040 and B3050 to be considered for inclusion in Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006. Taking into account those comments, the Commission selected a list of mixtures of wastes classified under one single Basel entry for inclusion in Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006.
(4) The Commission assessed the requests by Finland and the United Kingdom and the comments of Member States and on the basis of that assessment, a list of mixtures of wastes classified under individual Basel entries for inclusion in Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 was selected.
(5) It is important to clarify which procedures are applicable to shipments of mixtures of wastes classified under one single Basel entry. In order to allow the export of some of those mixtures of wastes to countries to which Decision C(2001) 107/Final of the OECD Council concerning the revision of Decision C(92) 39/Final on control of transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery operations (the OECD Decision) does not apply using the general information requirements laid down in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, a transitional period for those countries is necessary before they can inform the Commission, whether relevant mixtures of wastes may be exported to that country and of the applicable control procedure, if any.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),
Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However, in the case of exports to countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply, point 3 of Annex IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, as amended by this Regulation, shall apply as of 1 August 2012.
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 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 October 2004.

Whereas heavy buying in of butter has been one of the major features of the last few weeks; whereas this situation is far from normal for the time of the year, in view of the seasonal nature of milk production; whereas it is a situation which appears to have been brought about as a result of the announcement of the Commission's proposal to lower the intervention price for butter for the 1986/87 milk year;
Whereas temporary measures designed to prevent speculative sales of the butter into intervention should be adopted by derogating, until the end of the 1985/86 milk year, from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 of 14 April 1969 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in butter and cream (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2576/85 (4);
Whereas the Management Committee for milk and milk products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
By way of derogation from Article 5 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69, the day of taking-over shall, until the end of the 1985/86 milk year, be the 60th day after the date on which the butter entered the cold storage depot designated by the intervention agency.
Until the end of the 1985/86 milk year, the references to the taking over of the butter, which are found in Articles 4 and 6 of the Regulation referred to above, shall be replaced by references to the butter's 'entry into the cold storage depot designated by the intervention agency'.

amending the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 as regards ovine and caprine animals kept in zoos
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 of 17 December 2003 establishing a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Directives 92/102/EEC and 64/432/EEC (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 provides that each Member State shall establish a system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals in accordance with the provisions of that Regulation.
(2) The aim of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 is to ensure individual traceability of ovine and caprine animals throughout their lifetime. In accordance with Article 4(2) and Section A of the Annex to that Regulation, these animals shall be identified by visible identifiers, such as an eartag, a mark on the pastern or a tattoo.
(3) Specific animal health requirements for exotic animals kept in zoos are provided for under Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (2). That Directive also sets out provisions on identification and record keeping, which means that most of the ovine and caprine animals that are kept in approved zoos are already subject to requirements aiming at individual identification and traceability.
(4) Furthermore, the vast majority of ovine and caprine animals that are kept in zoos belong to exotic species. Visible identifiers, however, might be impracticable for the purpose of exhibiting the animals in zoos to the public as they may affect the authentic look of the animals, in particular exotic species.
(5) With a view to a reduction of administrative burdens and to the specific nature of zoo animals, i.e. the very limited number of animals concerned and their special purpose of exhibition, it would be proportionate to allow derogations from specific elements of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 concerning identification, and more precisely the obligation to use visible or electronic identifiers.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to allow for the competent authorities of the Member States to exempt ovine and caprine animals that are kept in and moved between zoos which are approved in accordance with Article 13(2) of Directive 92/65/EEC from the obligation to use visible or electronic identifiers, in so far as the animals in question are already individually identifiable and traceable on the basis of the provisions of that Directive. However, in case the animals are moved to any holding other than an approved zoo they need to be identified in accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004.
(7) Section A of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

|
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2676/91 of 9 September 1991 on stocks of agricultural products held in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 of 4 December 1990 on the transitional measures and adjustments required in the agricultural sector as a result of German unification (1), and in particular Articles 3 and 7 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (3), and in particular Article 5 (3) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 lays down that any private stock of a product which is covered by a regulation on a common market organization for agricultural products, which is in free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic on the date of German unification and which exceeds the quantity which may be regarded as representing a normal carry-over stock, must be disposed of by the Federal Republic of Germany at its own expense;
Whereas it is necessary to define private stocks only for certain products which carry a risk of speculation or for which European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund financing is planned; whereas the products in question are defined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2761/90 of 27 September 1990 on stocks of agricultural products held in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3774/90 (5);
Whereas, in order to take account of the special situation existing in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic before unification, private stocks of certain species of live animals present in that territory on the date of German unification and which could be the subject, where appropriate after slaughter, of intervention measures or the grant of export refunds, must be included in the definition of private stocks; whereas live animals of the above species originating in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, transferred to and, where appropriate, slaughtered in the Federal Republic of Germany or in another Member State before 3 October 1990 must also be included in that definition;
Whereas the criteria permitting determination of the quantity to be considered as a normal carry-over stock at the date of German unification must be laid down; whereas, therefore, it would appear appropriate to take account, on the one hand, of production in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic over a 12-month period and, on the other hand, of consumption, processing and certain exports during that period;
Whereas account must also be taken of the profound changes in production, consumption and trade which have taken place in the former German Democratic Republic as a result of German unification and integration into the Community; whereas, in the absence of accurate statistics, trade between the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and the Community as constituted before 3 October 1990 must be considered as balanced;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90, the concept of a normal carry-over stock must be defined for each product in the light of the criteria and objectives specific to each market organization;
Whereas in the beef and veal sector the quantity exceeding the normal carry-over stock consists mainly of beef and veal other than that covered by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 32/82 of 7 January 1982 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds for beef and veal (6) and by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 of 20 July 1982 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3169/87 (8);
Whereas this is the result for the most part of a traditionally high proportion of cows in the East German herd and the need to slaughter a very high number of dairy cows as a result of the introduction of a system of dairy quotas in that territory;
Whereas the contracts concluded by the German Democratic Republic with various State-trading countries prior to unification concern the export of frozen meat; whereas, therefore, it seems appropriate to oblige Germany to take over the excess quantities found in the beef and veal sector at the rate of refunds valid for export to European third countries of beef and veal other than that covered by Regulations (EEC) No 32/82 and (EEC) No 1964/82;
Whereas the financial consequences of the determination of stocks exceeding the normal carry-over stock must be taken into account when fixing the monthly advances pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 of 7 September 1988 on data to be sent in by the Member States with a view to the booking of expenditure financed under the Guarantee Section of the Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 775/90 (10), and controlled by clearance of accounts;
Whereas a special scheme for public stocks held in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic is provided for by Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 and Article 1 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2764/90 of 27 September 1990 on provisional measures applicable in the cereals sector after the unification of Germany (11); whereas, under those provisions, such stocks are taken over at a depreciated value roughly equivalent to the world market price; whereas in order to avoid placing a double burden on Germany, such depreciated stocks should not be included in the evaluation of abnormal private stocks pursuant to this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in the Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,
This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the application of Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90.
1. A 'private stock' shall mean products in free circulation in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic:
(a) produced entirely in that territory; or
(b) - produced in whole or in part from products originating in countries other than that territory, or
- imported into the German Democratic Republic prior to unification,
for which formalities clearing them for free circulation have been completed and on which customs duties or equivalent charges have been levied, without any total or partial drawback thereof,
and which have been the subject of an inventory as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2761/90.
2. A 'private stock' shall also include any number of live bovines, pigs or sheep which are eligible, where appropriate after slaughter, for intervention measures or the grant of export refunds, and which are:
- held in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, or
- held, either live or in the form of meat, in the Community as constituted before 3 October 1990, having originated in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic.
3. This Regulation shall not apply to the products referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2761/90.
1. A 'normal carry-over stock' shall mean the operating stock necessary to cover market needs in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic over an appropriate period defined on the basis of the circumstances specific to each product concerned.
2. These needs shall be assessed in the light of the criteria and objectives specific to each market organization and on the basis of a report taking into account, on the one hand, production and imports and, on the other hand, consumption, exports and, where appropriate, reserves of products at the beginning and end of the period referred to in paragraph 1 for the supply of the territory concerned.
3. In drafting the report referred to in paragraph 2, account shall be taken of the consequences for the economy of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic of both the profound changes in its trade relations and its integration into the Community.
Subject to the second indent of Article 2 (2), trade between the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and the Community as constituted before 3 October 1990 shall not be taken into account for the report referred to in paragraph 2 of this
Article.
Exports to other countries made by the German Democratic Republic before 3 October 1990 shall be taken into account on the basis of deliveries actually made.
4. Quantities of products which have been the subject of abnormal fluctuations or speculative movement shall not, however, be considered as normal carry-over stock.
For the purposes of this paragraph, a diminution in trade in the products may be considered an abnormal fluctuation.
5. In assessing the normal carry-over stock, provision may be made for quantities of two or more different products to be taken together.
6. The stocks held by the German intervention agencies referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 and Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2764/90 shall be deducted from the quantity exceeding the normal carry-over stock.
1. Expenditure on refunds and, where appropriate, on intervention resulting from the disposal of products for which a quantity exceeding the normal carry-over stock has been determined pursuant to Article 6 of this Regulation, shall be the subject of specific declarations to the Commission in the documents sent pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, but shall not be taken into account by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section.
2. Quantities of products for which a stock exceeding the normal carry-over stock has been determined shall be considered as disposed of first.
Products in respect of which:
- the customs formalities referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 have been completed in Germany,
- the file for grant of the refund has been lodged with the German disbursing body,
shall be considered as having been disposed of.
3. With regard to the application of the provisions of this Article in the beef and veal sector, the following specific provisions shall apply:
- the export refund rates listed in the regulations setting out the export refunds in the beef and veal sector for a country included in group 03 of the destination countries and for the products falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 other than those covered by Regulations (EEC) No 32/82 and (EEC) No 1964/82, shall be taken into account,
- the quantity exceeding the normal carry-over stock shall be determined as boned weight; where meat is exported boned the equivalent unboned weight shall be obtained using the coefficient 1,43.
4. If necessary, detailed rules for applying this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70.
Where the market situation, taking account, in particular, of trade patterns and deliveries into intervention, shows that the quantities of product taken into consideration for determining the stocks are incorrect, the necessary measures shall be adopted in accordance with the same procedure as for this Regulation.
1. The determination of the quantities exceeding the normal carry-over stock and, where appropriate, the procedure for the disposal of excess products shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90.
2. The financial consequences of the decisions referred to in paragraph 1 shall be taken into account in fixing the monthly advances referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88. At the time the monthly advances are fixed expenditure incurred after 3 October 1990 for which and advance against booking of expenditure has already been paid shall also be taken into account.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

|
Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003
of 6 March 2003
on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 384/96(1), the Council adopted common rules for protection against dumped imports from countries which are not members of the Community.
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 2026/97(2), the Council adopted common rules for protection against subsidised imports from countries which are not members of the Community.
(3) By Regulation (EC) No 519/94(3) and (EC) No 3285/94(4), the Council adopted common rules for the adoption of safeguard measures against imports from certain countries which are not members of the Community. Safeguard measures may take the form of tariff measures applicable either to all imports or to those imports in excess of a pre-determined quantity. Such safeguard measures imply that the goods are eligible to enter the Community market upon payment of the relevant duties.
(4) The importation of certain goods may be subject to both anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures on the one hand and safeguard tariff measures on the other. The objectives of the former are to remedy market distortions created by unfair trading practices, whilst the objectives of the latter are to grant relief against greatly increased imports.
(5) However, the combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on one and the same product could have an effect greater than that intended or desirable in terms of the Community's trade defence policy and objectives. In particular, such a combination of measures could place an undesirably onerous burden on certain exporting producers seeking to export to the Community, which may have the effect of denying them access to the Community market.
(6) Consequently, exporting producers seeking to export to the Community should not be subject to undesirably onerous burdens and should continue to have access to the Community market.
(7) It is therefore desirable to ensure that the objectives of the safeguard tariff measures and anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy measures can be met without denying those exporting producers access to the Community market.
(8) Therefore, specific provisions should be introduced to enable the Council and the Commission, where they consider it appropriate, to take action with a view to ensuring that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same product does not have such an effect.
(9) While it may be foreseeable that both the safeguard duty and the anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures may become simultaneously applicable to the same product, it is not always possible to determine in advance at which precise point in time this may occur. Therefore, the Council and the Commission should be in a position to provide for such a situation in a manner ensuring sufficient predictability and legal certainty for all operators concerned.
(10) The Council and the Commission may consider it appropriate to amend, suspend or repeal anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy measures or to provide for exemptions in whole or in part from any anti-dumping or countervailing duties which would otherwise be payable, or to adopt any other special measures. Any suspension or amendment of, or exemption from, anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures should be granted only for a limited period of time.
(11) Any measures taken under this Regulation should be applicable from the date of their entry into force, unless otherwise specified therein, and should therefore not provide a basis for the reimbursement of duties collected prior to that date,
1. Where the Commission considers that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same imports could lead to effects greater than is desirable in terms of the Community's trade defence policy, it may, after consultation of the Advisory Committee established by Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 or by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, propose to the Council that, acting by simple majority, it adopt such of the following measures as it deems appropriate:
(a) measures to amend, suspend or repeal existing anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy measures;
(b) measures to exempt imports in whole or in part from anti-dumping or countervailing duties which would otherwise be payable;
(c) any other special measures considered appropriate in the circumstances.
2. Any amendment, suspension or exemption pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be limited in time and shall apply only when the relevant safeguard measures are in force.
Any measure adopted pursuant to this Regulation shall apply from its date of entry into force. It shall not serve as basis for the reimbursement of duties collected prior to that date unless otherwise provided in that measure.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 30 November 2009
amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards food chain information to be provided to food business operators operating slaughterhouses
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules concerning the hygiene of food of animal origin. In particular, Section III of Annex II to that Regulation requires food business operators operating slaughterhouses to request, receive, check and act upon food chain information for all animals, other than wild game, sent or intended to be sent to the slaughterhouse.
(2) Point 2 of that Section provides that those operators are to be provided with the food chain information no less than 24 hours before the arrival of animals at the slaughterhouse, except in the circumstances referred to in point 7 of that Section. Point 7 provides that where the competent authority so permits, that information may accompany certain animals specified in that point to the slaughterhouse, rather than arriving at least 24 hours in advance of their arrival.
(3) As the provision of food chain information is a new requirement for food business operators introduced by Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, a transitional period for the full implementation of that requirement is laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).
(4) The smooth flow of the food chain information from the farm to the slaughterhouse is, in particular, facilitated by Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 which provides for a derogation from the requirement laid down in point 2 of Section III of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 to supply the food chain information 24 hours in advance of the animals’ arrival at the slaughterhouse, if the competent authority so permits and where this does not jeopardise the objectives of that Regulation.
(5) Experience has shown that enabling the competent authorities to broaden on a case-by-case basis the situations where the food chain information may be sent to the slaughterhouse together with the animals to which it refers, rather than arriving 24 hours in advance, has led to a smooth implementation of the food chain information requirements.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Denmark submitted an application on 11 May 2010 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in six enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 28 (‘Manufacture of machinery and equipment’) in the NUTS II region of Midtjylland (DK04) and supplemented it by additional information up to 21 March 2011. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 3 944 606.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Denmark,

|
Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004
of 30 March 2004
on the management of fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 and Article 299(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy(2), and in particular Chapter III thereof, establishes a Community scheme to adjust the fishing capacities of the Member States' fleets, to a level globally compatible with fishing opportunities.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector(3) covers modernisation of fishing vessels with public aid and public aid for the renewal of fishing vessels.
(3) Given the relative importance of the fisheries sector in those regions, it is justifiable to take account of the particular structural, social and economic situation of the Community outermost regions (outermost regions) in respect of management of fishing fleets. To that end, the provisions on management of entry/exit schemes and compulsory withdrawal of capacity, in Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and the rules on access to public aid for the modernisation and for the renewal of fishing vessels should be adapted to the needs of those regions.
(4) Any capacity increase for fleets registered in ports of outermost regions should also be limited to that justified by local fishing opportunities and the size of fleets kept in balance with those opportunities. To that end the objectives fixed by the multiannual guidance programmes IV (MAGP IV) for each fleet segment, as established in the Annex to Commission Decision 2002/652/EC of 29 July 2002 amending Decisions 98/119/EC to 98/131/EC in order to prolong the multiannual guidance programmes for the fishing fleets of the Member States until 31 December 2002(4), should be considered as reference levels for, or the upper limit to, the expansion of fleets registered in the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira.
(5) Specific reference levels should be determined for vessel segments registered in the Canary Islands, for which no specific objectives were fixed in the MAGP IV framework. These reference levels should take account of the capacity of the local fleet in relation to fishing possibilities.
(6) It is necessary to prevent vessels registered in the outermost regions from being transferred and used in the mainland after benefiting from more favourable treatment as regards the granting of public aid and/or conditions for entry into the fleet.
(7) It is justifiable to apply to the fleets registered in the outermost regions the same rules on fleet capacity management and public aid as are applied to vessels registered in the rest of the Community as soon as the reference levels defined in this Regulation are met, and in any case as from 1 January 2007, except for vessels having received public aid for renewal, where the entry into the fleet might take place until 31 December 2007.
(8) To facilitate the implementation of this Regulation, Member States should collect information on vessels registered in the outermost regions. The Commission should be provided with this information and report on it to ensure full transparency of measures implemented.
(9) As new general rules for fleet capacity management and public aid have been introduced in Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 2792/1999 with effect from 1 January 2003, the specific arrangements for the outermost regions should also apply from that date.
(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5),
Specific reference levels
1. For the fleet segments registered in the outermost regions as indicated in Article 299(2) of the Treaty the following specific reference levels for fishing capacity shall apply:
(a) for the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira: the respective MAGP IV objectives for each fleet segment, expressed in kW and GT, for each outermost region at the end of 2002;
(b) for the Canary Islands: reference levels that take as their starting point the capacities in kW and GT of the relevant fleet segments for vessels registered in Canary Island ports on 1 January 2003 and may be increased on the basis of fishing opportunities for these segments. Increases may be justified up to the objectives that would have been adopted if MAGP IV procedures had applied to these particular segments and shall be in accordance with the most recent scientific advice validated by the Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries established pursuant to Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
2. Implementing rules for this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2).
Fleet renewal and modernisation
For the fleet segments covered by Article 1(1):
1. by way of derogation from Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002:
(a) new capacity may enter the fleet, with or without public aid, within the limits of the specific reference levels indicated in Article 1,
(b) the obligation to achieve a reduction in overall fleet capacity of 3 % of the reference levels is not applicable;
2. by way of derogation from Article 9(1)(c)(i) of Regulation No 2792/1999, public aid to modernise the fleet in terms of tonnage and/or power may be granted;
3. the derogations laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall cease to apply as soon as the reference levels are reached, and in any case not later than 31 December 2006;
4. by way of derogation from Article 9(1)(a) of Regulation No 2792/1999, public aid for the renewal of fishing vessels may be granted until 31 December 2005;
5. notwithstanding paragraph 3 above, for fishing vessels having received public aid for renewal, the derogation in paragraph 1(a) above, will cease to apply two years after the public aid for renewal has been granted and in any case not later than 31 December 2007.
Transfer of vessels to the continent
Any transfer of a vessel from an outermost region to the continent shall be treated as an entry in the continental fleet within the meaning of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. Public aid for fleet renewal and for the equipment or modernisation of fishing vessels shall be reimbursed pro rata temporis in the case of transfer of a vessel to the continent before the end of a period of:
(a) 10 years in the case of public aid for fleet renewal; and
(b) five years in the case of public aid for the equipment or modernisation of fishing vessels
to be dated from the time when the administrative decision to grant aid was taken.
Management of capacity
1. Member States shall manage fleets registered in outermost regions in such a way as to comply with this Regulation.
2. Member States shall make available to the Commission information on vessels registered in their outermost regions in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
3. Rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2).
Committee procedure
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.
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 20 working days.
3. The Committee shall adopt its Rules of Procedure.
Reporting
The Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Regulation no later than 31 December 2006.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1113/88 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas lemons are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas lemons harvested during a given crop year are marketed from June to May of the next year; whereas reference prices should therefore be fixed for the period 1 June to 31 May of the following year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State with regard to Article 23 (2) plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1988/89 marketing year, the reference prices for fresh lemons (CN code 0805 30 10), expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:
- June: 54,59
- July and August: 60,24
- September: 55,48
- October: 49,82
- November to April: 47,15
- May: 47,73.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 June 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(notified under document C(2014) 6731)
(2014/679/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the fourth sentence of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU (2) provides for emergency measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of Epitrix cucumeris (Harris), Epitrix similaris (Gentner), Epitrix subcrinita (Lec.) and Epitrix tuberis (Gentner).
(2) The development of the situation since Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU took effect has shown that the measures it provides for are efficacious and should continue to apply. Therefore, it is appropriate that that Implementing Decision applies without a limitation of time.
(3) Experience shows that it is necessary to grant greater flexibility as regards the facility where the potato tubers undergo treatment ensuring that no more than 0,1 % of soil remains on them and that the specified organisms are removed. Therefore, it should be permitted that those tubers are moved outside the demarcated areas before that treatment takes place. The movement to those facilities should, however, be subject to requirements ensuring that the respective phytosanitary risk is reduced to acceptable levels.
(4) In order to ensure that the specified organisms cannot establish or spread outside a demarcated area, requirements should be established concerning disposal of the relevant waste soil and other waste material. For the same purpose, requirements should also be established concerning vehicles and packaging for the transport or handling of those potato tubers before they move outside the demarcated area or from a packing facility located outside that area. It is also necessary that machinery used for the handling of potato tubers in the packing facilities located outside demarcated areas is cleaned to avoid infestation of other potatoes handled by the same machinery.
(5) In order to facilitate control by Member States of the packing outside a demarcated area of potato tubers originating in such an area, it is important that packing facilities located outside demarcated areas are authorised for that purpose and required to keep records of the potato tubers handled which originate in demarcated areas.
(6) Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Implementing Decision 2012/270/EU is amended as follows:
(1) Article 3 is replaced by the following:
(a) intensive monitoring for the presence of the specified organisms through appropriate inspections on potato plants and, where appropriate, other host plants, including fields where those plants are growing, within at least a radius of 100 m of the packing facility;
(b) activities to raise public awareness concerning the threat of the specified organisms and the measures adopted to prevent its introduction into and spread within the Union in the vicinity of the packing facility.
(a) before they are moved outside the demarcated area; and
(b) before they leave a packing facility, as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3(1).
(a) they are authorised by the responsible official body to pack potato tubers originating in a demarcated area; and
(b) they keep, for one year from the time of arrival of the potato tubers at that facility, records of the potato tubers handled which originate in demarcated areas.’
(2) Article 7 is deleted;
(3) Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 40/2008 of 16 January 2008 fixing for 2008 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (3), lays down quotas for 2008.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 22,627/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 12 October 2002.

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 13 April 2007.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1020/2012
of 6 November 2012
adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2013 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the European Union and derogating from certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 121/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) has established a scheme whereby food products may be distributed to the most deprived persons in the Union. For that purpose, products in intervention stocks may be made available or, where intervention stocks suitable for the food distribution scheme are not available, food products may be purchased on the market.
(2) For 2013, that scheme is included in the list of measures eligible for financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), within an annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(3) In accordance with Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 the Commission has to adopt an annual plan.
(4) In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (5), that plan has to lay down, in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies.
(5) The Member States wishing to participate in the distribution plan for the 2013 budget year have supplied the Commission with the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.
(6) For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of the best estimates of the number of most deprived person in the Member States concerned and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years.
(7) Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides for the transfer between Member States of products unavailable in the intervention stocks of the Member State in which such products are required to implement the annual distribution plan. Accordingly, the intra-Union transfers necessary to implement that plan for 2013 should be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.
(8) In order to enforce the annual budgetary ceiling, the intra-Union transfer costs, where relevant, should be included into the total financial allocation made available for each Member State to implement the 2013 distribution plan. Moreover, the deadlines fixed by Articles 3(3) and 9 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 as regards the completion of the payment operations for products mobilised on the market, the requests for payment and the execution of payments by the competent authorities, should be adjusted, in order to ensure that the resources allocated within the 2013 distribution plan are only eligible for Union support if those payments are made in the 2013 budget year.
(9) Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provides that the plan implementation period finishes on 31 December. To enable the Member States to make full use of the period of implementation while respecting the deadlines relating to payments, it is necessary to allow the granting of advance payments for the transport of products to the storage depots of the charitable organisations and for the transport, administrative and storage costs incurred by the charitable organisations designated to distribute the products. In order to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of the annual plan, the same possibility should be allowed for the supply of products in duly justified cases. For the same reason, the use of advance payments should be limited. In addition it needs to be established how and when a security is required.
(10) Taking into consideration the non-profit nature of the designated organisations referred to in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the competent authorities of the Member States should be empowered to allow alternative guarantee instruments when advances are paid to those organisations in respect of their administrative, transport and storage costs.
(11) For accounting purposes, Member States should be required to notify the Commission of certain information related to the advance payments.
(12) Due to the current market situation in the cereals sector, which is marked by high market price levels, it is appropriate, in order to secure the Union’s financial interests, to increase the security, which is to be lodged by the contractor undertaking the supply operation of cereals as provided for in Articles 4(3) and 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010.
(13) To implement the annual distribution plan, the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 should be the date on which the financial year for administration of stocks in public storage starts.
(14) In accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, the Commission has consulted the major organisations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Union when drawing up the annual distribution plan.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
In 2013, the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Union under Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be implemented in accordance with the annual distribution plan set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
Financial resources available to implement the 2013 plan can be used by Member States within the limits set out in point (a) of Annex I.
The quantities of each type of product to be withdrawn from intervention stocks are set out in point (b) of Annex I.
Indicative allocations to Member States for the purchase of food products on the Union market are set out in point (c) of Annex I.
The intra-Union transfer of products listed in Annex II to this Regulation shall be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010. Indicative allocations to Member States for the reimbursement of the cost of intra-Union transfers, as required under the annual distribution plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, are set out in point (d) of Annex I.
By way of derogation from Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, for the 2013 distribution plan, payment operations for products to be supplied by the operator shall, in case of products to be mobilised on the market under Article 2(3)(a)(iii) and (iv) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, be effected before 15 October 2013.
By way of derogation from Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, for the 2013 distribution plan, requests for payment shall be submitted to the competent authorities of each Member State by 30 September 2013. Except in cases of force majeure, requests submitted after that date shall not be accepted.
Expenditure, within the limit set out in point (a) of Annex I, shall only be eligible for Union financing if it has been paid by the Member State to the beneficiary by 15 October 2013 at the latest.
1. For the purpose of implementing the annual distribution plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, the operators selected in accordance with Article 4(4) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 and the designated organisations referred to in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 may submit to the competent authority of the Member State concerned an application for advance payments relating to the cost of transport of products to the storage depots of the designated organisations referred to in point (a) of the second subparagraph of Article 27(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and the administrative, transport and storage costs referred to in point (b) of the second subparagraph of that Article. In duly justified cases the Member State may also provide advance payments relating to the cost of supply of the products to operators selected in accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provided that, to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned, those operators have demonstrated that prior to 15 October 2013:
(a) they have taken legally binding commitments to implement the operation; and
(b) they have taken all measures to ensure that the implementation shall be completed not later than 31 December 2013.
2. The competent authority may grant an advance payment up to 100 % of the amount applied for, subject to the establishment of a security equal to 110 % of the advance referred to in paragraph 1. In the case of operators selected in accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, the security referred to in that Article shall be deemed sufficient for the purposes of this Article.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 (6) shall apply.
4. In the case of designated organisations referred to in paragraph 1, the paying agency may accept a written guarantee from a public authority, in accordance with provisions applied in the Member States, covering an amount equal to the percentage referred to in paragraph 2, provided that that public authority undertakes to pay the amount covered by that guarantee in case the entitlement to the advance paid is not established. Member States may also provide for an instrument of equivalent effect, in accordance with the provisions applied in the Member States, on condition that it ensures the repayment of the advance granted in case the entitlement to it is not established.
5. The total amount of advance payments granted in accordance with paragraph 2 shall not exceed 75 % of the total amount made available for each Member State in accordance with point (a) of Annex I.
6. No later than 15 January 2014, Member States shall notify the Commission of the total amount of the advance payments made by 15 October 2013 in accordance with paragraph 2 which have not been cleared and which relate to operations that have not yet been completed.
By way of derogation from the fifth subparagraph of Article 4(3) and from the first subparagraph of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, for the 2013 distribution plan, before cereals are removed from intervention, the contractor undertaking the supply operation shall lodge a security equal to EUR 150 per tonne.
For the purpose of implementing the annual distribution plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, the date of the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 shall be 1 October 2012.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 901/2003
of 22 May 2003
fixing the export refunds on rice and broken rice and suspending the issue of export licences
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(3) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for rice and broken rice on the world market on the other. The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.
(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 3900 tonnes of rice to certain destinations. The procedure laid down in Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 498/2003(5), should be used. Account should be taken of this when the refunds are fixed.
(5) Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the export refund on rice and broken rice is being calculated.
(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(7) A separate refund should be fixed for packaged long grain rice to accommodate current demand for the product on certain markets.
(8) The refund must be fixed at least once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(9) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in rice and in particular to quotations or prices for rice and broken rice within the Community and on the world market, that the refund should be fixed as set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) For the purposes of administering the volume restrictions resulting from Community commitments in the context of the WTO, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund should be restricted.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 with the exception of those listed in paragraph 1(c) of that Article, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
With the exception of the quantity of 3900 tonnes provided for in the Annex, the issue of export licences with advance fixing of the refund is suspended.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 May 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3669/93 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3528/93 (4), and in particular Article 9 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are fixed annually before the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas because of the importance of apple-growing in the Community it is necessary to fix a reference price for apples;
Whereas apples harvested during a given crop year are marketed from July of one year to June of the following year; whereas reference prices should therefore be fixed for the period from 1 July up to and including 30 June of the following year;
Whereas to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas producer prices are the average of the prices recorded during the three years prior to the date of fixing the reference price, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, for the products or varieties which represent a considerable proportion of production marketed throughout the year or for part of it and which satisfy specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market must be disregarded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1994/95 marketing year, the reference prices for apples (CN codes 0808 10 31, 33, 39, 51, 53, 59, 81, 83 and 89), expressed in ecus per 100 kilograms net, shall be as follows for packed class I fruit, all sizes:
"" ID="1">July:> ID="2">46,25"> ID="1">August:> ID="2">41,11"> ID="1">September:> ID="2">43,98"> ID="1">October:> ID="2">43,78"> ID="1">November:> ID="2">44,61"> ID="1">December:> ID="2">45,95"> ID="1">January:> ID="2">48,62"> ID="1">February:> ID="2">50,44"> ID="1">March:> ID="2">52,73"> ID="1">April:> ID="2">54,00"> ID="1">May:> ID="2">56,31"> ID="1">June:> ID="2">57,08.">

COMMISSION DECISION of 14 December 1994 on the approval of the Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Champagne-Ardenne concerned by Objective 2 in France (Only the French text is authentic) (94/1047/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2082/93 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4); whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a Single Programming Document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a Single Document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (5), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period 1994 to 1996;
Whereas the French Government has submitted to the Commission on 28 April 1994 the Single Programming Document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Champagne-Ardenne; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this Single Programming Document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, from 1 January 1994;
Whereas the Single Programming Document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the Single Programming Document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments, including the ECSC and the other actions for structural purposes;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the Single Programming Document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the Single Programming Document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (2), stipulates that in the Commission Decisions approving a Single Programming Document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each Decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (4), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (6), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the Single Programming Document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the Single Programming Document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 lays down that Member States shall provide the relevant financial information to the Commission to permit verification of the respect of the principle of additionality; whereas the analysis, in the framework of partnership, of the information provided for by the French authorities has not yet allowed this verification; whereas, payments should therefore be suspended after the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of the said Regulation until the Commission will have verified the respect of the additionality;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (7), as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 2730/94 (8), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,
The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the region of Champagne-Ardenne concerned by Objective 2 in France, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved.
The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:

For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:
>TABLE>
The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 77,5 million.
The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.
The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 94 million for the public sector and ECU 40 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB.
1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:

3. The financial contribution will be suspended after the payment of the first advance provided for in Article 21 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 until such time as the Commission has verified the respect of the principle of additionality on the basis of the relevant information supplied by the Member State.
The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88.
The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996. The final date for taking account of expenditure on these measures is 31 December 1998.
The Single Programming Document shall be implemented in accordance with Community law, and in particular Articles 6, 30, 48, 52, 59, 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty and the Community Directives on the coordination of procedures for the award of contracts.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

of 26 June 2000
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the front underrun protection of motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 97/836/EC(4), the Council, with the assent of the European Parliament, authorised the Community to accede to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions, done at Geneva on 20 March 1958, as revised on 16 October 1995.
(2) Through its accession to the said Agreement, the Community subscribed to a defined list of Regulations established pursuant to that Agreement. This list includes UN/ECE Regulation No 93(5).
(3) In order to reduce the number of European road accident casualties, it is necessary to introduce without delay the measures established by UNE/ECE Regulation No 93 into the EC type-approval procedure set up by Council Directive 70/156/EEC(6), so as to improve the protection of the occupants of passenger cars and light vans from injury in the event of a collision with the front of heavy goods vehicles and to allow manufacturers of such devices and of vehicles equipped with such devices to obtain an EC type-approval if they meet the technical requirements of that Regulation.
(4) In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty, the objectives of this Directive cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States on account of the scale and effect of the action proposed in the relevant sector, and can therefore be better achieved by the Community. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary for the attainment of its objective, namely EC type-approval.
(5) This Directive is one of the separate directives which must be complied with in order to conform to the EC type-approval procedure. Consequently, the provisions laid down in Directive 70/156/EEC relating to vehicles, vehicle systems, components and separate technical units apply to this Directive.
(6) In view of the considerable number of road accidents involving commercial vehicles having a mass of more than 3,5 tonnes, and consequently in order to increase road safety, the provisions concerning such vehicles should be made mandatory by this Directive without awaiting any further supplements to EC type-approval for this category of vehicles.
(7) Directive 70/156/EEC should be amended in consequence,
For the purposes of this Directive:
(a) "vehicle" means any motor vehicle as defined in Section A of Annex II to Directive 70/156/EEC;
(b) "front underrun protective device" means a front underrun protective device which is intended to be part of a vehicle and which can be approved as a separate technical unit in accordance with Article 2 of Directive 70/156/EEC.
1. With effect from 10 August 2001 or, if the publication referred to in Article 3 is delayed beyond 10 February 2001, six months after the date of the said publication, Member States may not, on grounds relating to the front underrun protection of a vehicle:
(a) refuse, in respect of a type of vehicle, or a type of a front underrun protective device considered as a separate technical unit, to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval; or
(b) prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of vehicles or front underrun protective devices considered as a separate technical unit;
if the vehicles or separate technical units comply with the requirements of this Directive.
2. With effect from 10 August 2003, Member States:
(a) shall no longer grant EC type-approval or national type-approval for a type of vehicle or a type of front underrun protective device as a separate technical unit;
(b) shall refuse the registration, sale or entry into service of new vehicles or new front underrun protective devices as separate technical units;
on grounds relating to the front underrun protection if the requirements of this Directive are not complied with.
3. The administrative provisions governing EC type-approval shall be as set out in Annex I.
The scope of this Directive, and the technical requirements to be fulfilled for the award of EC type-approval, shall be as laid down in Annex II.
Regulation No 93 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities before 10 February 2001.
Directive 70/156/EEC is amended as follows:
1. Annex I shall be amended as follows:
(a) Item 2.3.4 shall be replaced by the following:
"2.3.4. Width of the foremost axle (measured at the outermost part of the tyres excluding the bulging of the tyres close to the ground): ...".
(b) The following items shall be inserted:
"9.22. Front underrun protection
9.22.1. Drawing of the vehicle parts relevant to the front underrun protection, i.e. drawing of the vehicle and/or chassis with position and mounting of the widest front axle, drawing of the mounting and/or fitting of the front underrun protection. If the underrun protection is no special device, the drawing must clearly show that the required dimensions are met: ...
9.22.2. In the case of special device, full description and/or drawing of the front underrun protection (including mountings and fittings), or, if approved as a separate technical unit, type-approval number: ...".
2. Annex V shall be amended as follows:
(a) In Part I, the following item shall be added:
">TABLE>"
(b) In Part II, the following item shall be added:
">TABLE>"
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 10 August 2001. However, if the publication referred to in Article 3 is delayed beyond 10 February 2001, Member States shall fulfil this obligation within six months of the said publication. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Member States shall apply these measures as from 10 August 2001 or, if the publication referred to in Article 3 is delayed beyond 10 February 2001, six months after the said publication.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by the Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
